Dh has been driving my 1/2 ton Suburban to work to help save on gas. His truck is just not economical to drive on a daily basis anymore. I'm so thankful to be working from home right now. Looks like gas will be at a peak rate by the time we pull out for our trip to the Fort in a few weeks!

You should come post on the weight loss board Angie.

What? So now I'm fat? Thank you very much for calling me out on that, Donnie. Friends like you.........

I am not, I repeat, not overweight. I am undertall!

Hectic days are putting me behind on reading and posting. I managed to speed through the last few pages and the main one that caught my eye was that beautiful little boy! Great pics
The one with Reilly at the weigh-in, I can relate...I do that too at my weigh-ins

Yea, that picture came out so great, I'm actually thinking of submitting it to a couple magazines...lol. I definitely want to blow it up a bit, frame it, and put it in his room...heh.

Yes it is. That's why I rarely go for just a weekend anymore. My wife doesn't like to camp, the kids are scattered all over the place so it would just be me, beer and the dog. Come to think of it that's not such a bad idea. As long as I stick to just a small tent, grill, stove, a little food and beer I'd be fine. Too bad my weekends are all planned up until mid-June.

When my hubby needs to get away from all us girls (why would anyone need that????....he heads to the AT with his tent hammock, some trail mix, a book and a flask of something. He enjoys it so much I should probably feel jealous!

This is the tent hammock:

Actually Ami.... that sounds pretty good to me, too! I think that hammock is just the ticket for anywhere but the muggy, sticky, hot, south!! Where you are at.... on the AT!! Although, that "self-closing" hammock looks as though you could very easily go "PLOP"!! (ouch, that'd hurt!)

I would never ever say anything like that about my favorite FW Friend. I was quoting on John and Mike delivering babies lol. For some reason I just didn't want to picture that that early so I skipped breakfast. Thanks for helping me shave a few calories off today.

We can hit the AT at several points around here. It goes through Roanoke County as well as Giles County, none of which are very far.

As for going "plop" surprisingly, it secures very nicely! Plus, it's much cozier than it looks!

Have fun on your trip this weekend Ami. We were going to camp but they told my DH yesterday that he has to work all weekend. Looks like it's gonna be a rainy one anyway.

For those who might be interested, Florida real estate markets prices aren't predicted to hit bottom for another two years. Bad news if you're selling. Florida and California are probably the worst right now.

No housing talk please, us in Florida hear enough about how bad it is on the news EVERY DAY

Personally, I just say FTW and go on with my day, the news likes to hype stuff sometimes, get everyone in a frenzy.

 

[ntsammy5]

You're right about the news.

Thanks for this, Bro!! You'll stop at nothing to keep your free vacation spot near WDW, will you?

 

[ntsammy5]

NO! That's not entirely true. Well, maybe a little. That price on the time share is really good!

Name the song and/or Artist:

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
And the sun will set for you

No idea. But, it's really depressing.

Rhonda, It sure is. I just heard it and it always reminds my DH & I of our first furbaby . The one in my signature. I cry every time I hear it.
