Tkers...Killing threads seven days a week!

[MagiKitty]

Ohn no! It was actually decent pizza....and I could get my nails nearby. Sadness.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

We hadn't tried it yet but wanted to!

 

[JOCAmom]

Thank you! I was only looking for non-chain restaurants because I've been scouring the restaurant.com website. Just trying to get ideas since I'll be able to tell Curt we don't have to eat in the parks.

Indian food sounds so good but we've never had it. Maybe I'll have to look around.

LITC, I'll check out that podcast.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Walter misses you to!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

It's really funny. It's my favorite of the ones I listen to. Plus it is usually much shorter than the others. Less than a half hour compared to some of the others at 1.5 to 2 hours!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Well I am off for tonight. So tired! And Walter had a 3 hour nap so he is still raring to go!!

 

[JOCAmom]

It's really funny. It's my favorite of the ones I listen to. Plus it is usually much shorter than the others. Less than a half hour compared to some of the others at 1.5 to 2 hours!

That works for me...a half hour is about my attention span.

Night! Give Walter and hug and kiss from me.

 

[M&N]

If Walter is raring to go, I guess mommie needs to be too! Tell him nightie night!

JO--I don't know of many non chain places down there. I've been to the Boston Fish House--one of my favorites. What area is the place you are staying? I can ask my friend what's around there. I don't really know where we go--I mean the areas. I like Smokey Bones too but know it's a chain.

 

[JOCAmom]

M&N, we are looking to rent a townhouse in Windsor Hills. It's about 5 minutes outside the WDW main gates.

Oh, I just meant chain restaurants from up here. The kids would think it would be awesome to go to Applebees in FL...me, not so much.

Does Smoky Bones sell ribs?

 

[JOCAmom]

M&N, I just looked at the menu for Smokey Bones. That's been added to the list. Their prices look great. Are the meals big? Curt is the only one who can eat a lot on vacation. Like that is any different from any other day.

 

[M&N]

I really liked Smokey Bones. I thought the portions were good...didn't get the ribs yet. I think you can sign up for emails and coupons. They had specials. I'm asking my friend about her fav pizza place...cannot remember whaich it was. I like Sweet Tomatoes too. It's a big salad bar but lots of soups, pasta too.

 

[JOCAmom]

Looks like I'm going to sign up there too. And I saw they have some fish/vegetarian options for Jackie.

I really want to go to Sweet Tomatoes. But Alexis is a meat & potatoes girl since she was a baby. We've gotten her to eat lettuce lately so there is hope. I just think it would be nice for Jackie to be able to go to a restaurant for her.

Pizza is good.

And Congrats again on your picks this week. Those were awesome!

 

[M&N]

Watched NASCAR Hub tonight...they feel Mark isn't getting as good of stuff this year---they traded people with Jr and he's doing better. They still feel Mark will not have that ride next year. Who has Red Bull? They thought that's where he would be.

 

[JOCAmom]

Yeah, I noticed that about Mark. There's always something fishy at Hendrick. Like they can only have a couple of good cars at a time and the others get the shaft.

Vickers drove for Red Bull but he's done for this year and maybe for good. I really liked him too.

 

[M&N]

They said the double file restart was causing the green, white, checkered so much this year...what do you think? Do you like that? Several people I know don't like the double file...

 

[JOCAmom]

The double file restart doesn't really bother me much. I like to see them racing for the win.

I think I'd rather see them do a green, white, checkers restart than not throw the caution when it should be. Or when whomever they want to win is in the lead.

Did you read about the changes they are talking about for the Chase?

 

[M&N]

I also wanted to brag before Jr got out of the top 12! Did you see ww were tied last week in the standings? I didn't look at results for last week's race. It was just so strange. I was happy for the wrecks...that's how Jr got 4th! There wasn't many left!

JO, I also wanted to ask if you have been to Roadside America. It's off 78. I had been there a very long time ago. We took my uncle because he's doing a model train display.

 

[JOCAmom]

Brag away! I can't take it....maybe.

I haven't looked at the standings too much here because they are usually behind. Though pogopossum is catching up. Jr. needs the good cars and to get his head back in the game. He's not a bad driver but distracted, I think.

Never been there but I've heard of it. Did your uncle like it? I know my little ones are mesmerized by the model train display in Epcot.

 

[M&N]

Sorry, I missed your post between mine!

I think they call the cautions to help it get closer too. It's changed the outcome for sure. I heard they were changing dates around maybe but what about the chase?

I heard the truck guys want better dates...like always Fridays at 7. It confuses people especially with not racing every week. I really enjoy the racing the trucks do...more exciting.

The set up is really neat I think at Roadside America. I remember some of the things like the circus area from when I was little. You can press buttons to make some things go. My uncle really enjoyed it. I think he wants to go back. He looked at my pictures and said he didn't notice that!

I missed Jr driving the 3 in the Nationwide race. He said he would not drive the 3 again. I do think he's not agressive enough or something. Doesn't seem to have that great desire or drive in him.

 

[JOCAmom]

I'll have to look up info on Roadside America. If it's slightly interactive, I know Livvie and Alexis will love it. It might make for a nice little trip to get out of the house alone.

That's what I mean....something is missing from Jr. You need to push the limits a little in racing and honestly, it's been lacking lately. Almost like he's afraid. Not being mean or anything but in racing, you have to take some risks to win the race and it's not there in him anymore.

I love the truck races when I can catch them. They go all out for every race that they have.

I really wish Nascar would set one schedule and leave it at that. I'd love to see it go to a Thursday, Friday, Saturday weekend but that's just me. But until they make every track add lights, that won't work.

It still annoys me that they got rid of the Nationwide race at Nazareth because of low ticket sales. It might have helped if they scheduled that race they same weekend as the Pocono race.
