I'll give you a Chinese food story in return Penny.
We live in the boonies. Rural NE Georgia. The tastes here, food wise, run toward fried, battered and fried, breaded and fried, and fried fried.
We have two Chinese restaurants. One of them has the gigantic fish tank up front with koi and a little fountain, etc. The boys almost always pick that one because of the fish and the fountain. The food is... tolerable... for the most part. However, they have obviously started catering to the local tastes. The last time we were there, I ordered almond fried chicken.
When they brought me my plate, I kid you not, I had chicken strips (like you would get from a box in the freezer) cut up with brown gravy dumped over it(not brown sauce, mind you, gravy... like McCormicks powder brown gravy) and almond slices sprinkled on top.
I don't know what part of China that dish is from, but it must be in the Deep South.
Yep, first trip down was to bring them munchies. Next was to put laundry in the wash, and of course I had to put the clothes in the dryer later, right?! (No hanky panky in my house, unless I'm the one doing it!)
james just looks at me and rolls his eyes!
; course that won't work with him
...that's just dumb! But, like you said, he didn't get an advantage in the race cuz they changed it beforehand.... I can understand the crew chief should have known...kinda of his job to know...that's what they pay him for.... 
will loosen/soften your new bed 
Jennifer, I thought of you ... guess what I just got in the mail? A free in-home tryout Certificate for Tempur Pedic. Too late for us
Brab, it's just ebayexpress.com. No bidding; just buy it. I bought from a seller that allowed me to combine shipping to save on charges. I got 3 lotions (all 13.5 oz) for $52, which includes shipping. That's what I normally would've spent on one bottle since I'd pay tax here.
What is the weather like in everyone's neck of the woods. I am going to have to build an arc soon.... And now there just was the loudest boom of thunder! Suppose I should get offline!
I'll let ya know when I get my catalogs....one I've requested is from Four Seasons...they carry a lot of lines...And, I requested another catalog from a discounted site, (it was in a tanning magazine we got at the salon), allhourstanningsupplies ...don't know how long it'll take 
I think the news said 25mph winds...sustained... I buy mine on eBay. The last bottle I bought was Zulmani by Three Wishes Tan. I got a 14 oz bottle for about $16 shipped. It's $56 at the tanning salon!I don't do the HOT tingle stuff....
Buy a sample in a salon and give it a try...I was leery, but a staff member let me try his....I used Supre's Smoke...worked great! (altho...I don't see it for sale anymore...guess they discontinued it?) I remember one night I came home from tanning (used the tingle lotion) and was sitting on the sofa watching tv and DH was sitting on the floor in front of me with his arm across my legs. About 20-30 minutes later, his arm was burning....from the tingle lotion (not funny at the time, but it is now.....now he always asks if I've used "that stuff"... ) I can't spend that much time ketchuping...I woke up with a really sore throat this morning whe DH came in from work and I just woke up. My sweet little Jacob is gone to the kitchen right now to get me some water and cold medicine.
Baby sis has tanned some too.....she thinks she tans faster than me...
(Good when they're older and can do that ) You look young....your sister doesn't look 15 years younger!? I don't know if she tans faster than you or not, but she wasn't tanner than you in that pic ...she needs to get on it... 
Night Lawrence...feel better!Good nght homies off to take some meds and see if I can get some rest
Have you ever been to Calabash and eaten seafood at one of the restaurants? OMG...excellent!

Good for you!!! Altho, most every nite, I grab my laptop and sit in my comfy, warm bed and do my ketchupin' while DH is on his desktop computer... Glad you are feeling better.... 
Guessing having a job would come in handy if he plans on fulfilling that promise....

Hope you feel better.... He got himself SO worked up....I explained he never cried for a shot...NEVER! Not when he was 6mths, 2 yrs., 4 yrs., etc..... Have no idea why at the ripe age of 9 he decides to get worked up? It was over before he knew it and admitted he made a bigger deal over it than it really was. I told him, "Please try to remember that in 2 years." He said, "Why?" I said, "Cuz that's when your next shot is." Again...the look of "Oh crap!" ...... my job is to spend mr mac's money and save my money.
i let him pay all the bills.......
that's how nice i am to him.....
DH earns all the money and pays all the bills (except 2)...all my money pays those 2 bills and for our vacation.... Yes, I want to redo the kitchen. I do cook a tiny bit. And, don't forget, I have to heat up Thanksgiving dinner from Wegmans every year.
My hugest pet peeve is that my cabinets don't go all the way up to the ceiling. I think that is the cheesiest look EVER, and of course that's what I have now. It's just a sloppy look, and I CAN'T STAND it in my house! My oven is also a wall oven so it's very narrow. So, I want a double oven, one on top of the other. My microwave doesn't go over my ceramic range top right now, and it needs to, with a new hood. And, another huge pet peeve is cheap counter tops (which I have now). When I redid my upstairs bath, I put in Corian with a seamless matching sink and cove-backsplash (yes, I HATE seams and they are all over my friggin kitchen now). The Corian so nice. When I redo the kitchen, I am going for the Zodiaq. My kitchen really does drive me nuts. Everyone knows: light countertop/dark cabinets or dark countertop/light cabinets. We have white (old) cabinets and off-white countertops. ICK!
Now, all I need is an extra $60K lying around somewhere to do everything I want to do (pantry and laundryroom off the kitchen should be redone at the same time). Anyone know a good place I can find $60K just lying around and doing nothing?!
You're such a sweetie for offering to get us lotion! It does sound like Jodie got a great deal! I don't know much about different lotions...I'm probably ready for some "tingle" stuff if that's the way it works. I used some once and it lit me on fireYou got a GREAT deal on those lotions Jodie.... I'm actually waiting on a couple catalogs at work to order from. If y'all want, (once I get them), I will order whatever ya's want at cost...you just have to pay for the lotion and me to ship it to you....(and you know I would be cheaper than online sites!) I've been googling 'wholesale' lotions too...finding some good deals...some 'not so great deals'.... I am so spoiled by paying 'cost' for stuff like this...I refuse to pay more than I have to
Our weather was 'drying' this morning...rainy afternoon, then sunny around dinnertime. Now, if it's not bolted down out there...it's blowin' away!
You can't do the 'tingle' stuff until you are tan....then, it won't feel tingly... When you are dark, and feel you've "plateau-ed" and aren't getting any darker...use a tingle lotion....it works! And, IF you are dark enuf, you won't feel the tingle
Hoping dear Jacob took care of Mom today and you are feeling a bit better....
DH has some called Arctic Fever and I haven't used it in a while, but it's really weird (cold and hot at the same time), it's made by California Tan and says Dark Chilling Inferno. I might try it again tomorrow. I think only on my arms and legs though, I seem to be so much darker on the rest of my body than on my arms and legs . Little sis is waiting on ME to get my 220 line in so she can tan here (her month was up on the 6th). This has been a rough month for her and she has not used her time wisely that she paid for (she bought the level 3 package and I bought the level 1 package)....I'm still tanning up town, whilst I wait on DH to run the line. DH has been sick and now he's still sick and working 12 hour nights, so it will probably be a little while before he gets time to do it. I can tan at the salon until the 18th and I will tan there until my time is up, even if he gets the line in before then, since it's already paid for I might as well use their bulbs and their electricity! DH didn't get another month. It was him that wanted the tanning booth so bad anyway since he didn't have time to go when he was working 12 hour nights. Hopefully we will have it up and running before my month is up.
there's a place in downtown chicago where you can earn lots free money for just lying around.
it's located by the second street light on the corner by the train.....
Hey, all, a slight favor please. When the thread gets near or at the 250 page, it needs to be locked. So if it gets close to that, let Mac know so she can start up a new thread with the new link. Then if someone would send me a PM so I can lock the old thread, I would appreciate it. I'm not always paying as close attention as I should on this thread. I figure it's a free-for-all anyway here.
After typing this, it reminded me of the old Andy Griffith show where Otis, the town drunk, just locks himself up at night in the jail.
Ya got that right....anything goes around here.... 
i rarely use the stuff anyway...i've experimented (one leg with lotion, one without-cannot tell the difference other than one is softer ; yet still i buy it )...no tingle, tried it once & got a pin-point rash for a few hours (or is that normal)?
I'm probably ready for some "tingle" stuff if that's the way it works.
I think only on my arms and legs though, I seem to be so much darker on the rest of my body than on my arms and legs
Good luck!
