Something About Nothing..........# 9

[schumigirl]

Evening all

Yes.......it`s still raining here. We`ve had gales, thunder and lightning and just continual rain for what seems like weeks.......ready for some sun in July

About bacon. Love it.....but the best bacon in the world......is Ayrshire Bacon.......we eat it by the pigload when we go home to visit mum

Keisha.....is Lox what we call Smoked Salmon??? I think it is but I`m not sure.......I love that too with cream cheese and a croissant...yum.

I`ll never be slim

 

[keishashadow]

carole -yes, smoked salmon with cream cheese, chopped red onion and...wait for it...capers! Never heard of that type of bacon but it sounds good.

red robin's a few miles from my house. Teriyaki burgers. I have recipie somewhere for them. RR does has a reward club with free burger on birthday and one free after you buy 10, but who's counting.

MJ i know wheeling downs is in your backyard but have you ever visited the mountaineer casino? Was considering taking the clan out over-night this summer but reading some iffy reviews on tripadvisor.

 

[donaldduck352]

lox and bagels trumps it.

I probaly do not want to know.But what is lox??

i hate lox
just wanted to share.

I know,I will never be slim ever 'cuase I love BACON!!!

it's not the bacon, it's the beer .............

someone told me they love beer better than bacon.
oh, think it was Mr Mac that said that tonight when i told the waitress no bacon on my burger.
yea, he had 4 beers tonight there.

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Well, we've narrowed down the week we're looking at heading back to Orlando in October - now we just have to determine an actual date - which will most likely depend on flights

 

[ky07]

One month to go

I never heard of Red Robin.......but like the sound of A Terayaki Burger sounds lush!!!

We don`t plan our trip at all.....but we love reading all the menu`s we can get........if you`re not hungry before you start reading them........

Tonight, menu`s we have studied include Sushi Bar at RPR.....Kobe.....NBA...
Margaritaville and Joe`s Crab Shack

Had a friend quiz me today why we never see BMG when we`re in Orlando. And I don`t know why.......it just doesn`t really appeal to us at all. She loved it.

Got a few more bits in one of the suitcases today

Read the nutrition facts on Red Robin and you'll never go there again (although it's my favorite restaurant!). One normal burger has 2.5 days worth of sodium. And there are very few things on the menu under 1000 calories. Yeah.

Spent the weekend in Indy and bought a new house! No luck on selling this one yet, but we need to move before August to get the relo to pay for it. Looking at mid-July for the closing and moving soon afterwards. Pics if anyone wants to see:

And a pic of me & DH with our most "recentest" graduate! Supposed to graduate next year (2013) but graduated a year early and is off to MIT in just two months!

And the senior ball pic (they broke up the next day after nearly 2.5 years together!):

Did I ever even share any of my Disneyland pics? Do you guys even remember me?

 

[Mad Hattered]

hey Mr Mad.........did you and Mrs. Mad make it across the street?

Why yes....yes we did! It was a pleasure to finally meet up with you! And thank you again for all the goodies, we took some to the theater today when we saw Prometheus.

We made it back safely across the street and enjoyed a few more beers in the hotel before calling it a night. We got up bright and early....well...early the next day and were in line at the gates of SF at 9:20 am. We were surprised just how many people were already there but we made it in and were 5th in line to pick up our Flash Pass. That was the longest freakin line we stood in all day!! Sheesh. They let us in the park 20 minutes early and we stood in that line and got processed out at 10:31.

Not to worry though. We programmed Raging Bull in and were able to bypass the 1 hour line and walk right up to the ride station. We were off by 10:45 and walked directly to Superman where we bypassed the 45 minute line. 5 minutes later we were off to jump directly on V2 with a 5 minute wait. That Q-bot is a lifesaver and sooooo worth the price. We will never visit that particular park without one.

We rode ALL the rides on the system at least twice sometimes three to four times and were getting a little bored by the end of the night. We ended up leaving about an hour and a half before park closing, went to freshen up and walked over to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner.

The weather was HOT but then we are used to that. I would much rather have it like that than being overcast and cool on any visit there. It made the water rides a welcome relief!

Once again.....thanks for meeting up with us, Mac and for all the welcoming goodies!!

 

[Mad Hattered]

We rode the new X Flight three times during our trip. It wasn't available on the Flash Pass level we bought but waited it out on Friday and Saturday. By the time we got our FP is was already over an hour wait so we waited. Later in the afternoon it dropped to 45...which really took 30 minutes so that wasn't so bad. It's an awesome ride!! We liked the left side better just so you know.

No trip would be complete without being reminded in some way......

SIGH

i can always tell when skool is out for the summer.
mom gets a new gray hair.
put on alice coopers song and relax......

have a beer.
you'll nod off and won't care what the kidlettes are up to.

Good morning homies

​

i call it wake ups.
no one can sleep the night before you leave on a vacation for the darkside!

i am wishing the rain away for the time you are there.

i absolutely love NBA City!
i hope you enjoy it there at that place.

i have been to the orlando BMG twice.
it was fun but the second time around, it wasn't as thrilling.

they have a new set now which is different in parts from the older one.
the ending i saw on youtube.
i thought it was stupid.

i know i won't be returning to it this year as the new ending ...........meh....

congratulations to the newest graduate !!!

thanx for sharing all the pics.
no, you didn't come forth with the DL pics yet.

i am still waiting........

when i saw the first pic i thought the house looked smaller than the one in GB.
as the slide show progressed, it does look like a big house when you show the back view.

are you bringing the hot tub with youse?

is it a 4 bedroom like the last one?


hope you have good luck in selling your place up north.
things are going very slow all over in house sales.

maybe you could rent your other home out until you get a buyer.
do a month to month rental agreement.

that really suxs that they broke up after the senior prom.
is your oldest still going with the same girl?

i forget if we liked her or not.
refresh my memory.

and, we could never forget you marcie!

Mr Mad, you and Mrs Mad are a hoot.
i had a blast with both of youse.
it was great to spend time with both of youse!!


i kept thinking on saturday that you were probably sorry you didn't take those hot wings back to the room with you.........


oh, and for the readers here, i got Mr Mad some Jelly Belly stuff.
and some Parry Hotter stuff.......chocolate frogs that had the cards in them and Bertie Beans.
Jelly Belly is a short drive from my house in kenosha wi.


remember he is surprising the better half on her birthday with a few days onsite and doing Mr Pothead ville.


i was really hungry when i was driving to meet them at the pub.
so, i took one of the chocolate frogs out i had for them and ate it.

i did leave him the wrapper and card.............i mean, how can you not, at least, leave those things when it was supposed to be a gift.
i'm not that ignorant......

sorry homies.
he didn't take pics of the food we ate.
but it looks like we got some good shots of some rides in the park!
decent trade off.

your pics are brilliant.
colors are really awesome!

sounds like you had fun at six flags when you got the zbot and started on the rides.

pencil me in your calendar.
same place
same date for next year on your GA venture up here.

Marcie--hard to believe your DS is graduating already!
DD did the same w her BF, but has been moping around the house ever since. Got last minute phone call from the youth leader that asked if I wanted to send her off to camp within the hour--ummm...she had to ask? So she left for church camp yesterday and won't be home till Friday

Keep the pics coming MH. My mother just sent me a pic of one of those rides and said how scary it looked--I told her that she had never been to a park with us! Get off and get back and ride till you drop is my motto.

And Red Robin has calories?? Naw. Who counts?
