Oops. I forgot to actually participate. I truly dislike shopping, so I think I could live without all of them. But then I'd get hungry. So I'd go to Trader Joes. I do like it there, and they have Triple Ginger Snaps.

Costco? For TWO HOURS?! :svengo:

Spiders.

Socrates? "Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers."

Now *that* is devotion! ;) What a sweet girl.

Aww. Congratulations, Chris.

Would you mind explaining it for those of us who don't 'get' Sweet Tea? :) ETA: Oh! I see there's an entire thread. I'll go look there for an explanation.

I am on Facebook. My link is below.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.:)

I've wanted to do this, but I am afraid of ruining all that wonderful corn. Do you have tips for a first-timer?

I'm sorry. I'll quit sending angry email. ;)

Is it firm tofu? I would dice it and toss with pasta. shave a bit of parmesan on top and toss in a few pine nuts.

Donna, Will you please send me an email at crissyt@gmail.com. I have a document I'd like to send your way with a few exercises (stretches, really) for back pain relief.

Oh, Donna. Back pain is so hard to deal with. I will be praying that your pain eases.

I made this yummy noodle salad last night (with teriyaki glazed salmon) and we all loved it. I think it would go great with just about anything from the grill.

I am seeing the same trend here. Used to be that the drive-through was always full, and the lines at the grocery store Starbucks wound through the aisles. These days I may walk by a stand-alone and see an empty drive-through. I wonder how much of the local attitude has to do with the owner selling our basketball team to that yahoo from Oklahoma. Shultz has been vilified on local news and sports radio in the past year.

Creme brulee.

Well, this is the Seattle area. I have eight within two to three miles (two of those are within walking distance) and none of them are closing. I do think a few in the downtown area are on the list to be axed. Not surprising, though. We have a few corners where there are stores just a single block from one another.

It involved a white bathing suit. And I'm a brunette. Gah. It's been years and I'm still embarrassed.

Hey! I just noticed something different about you. All light and pretty. Very nice.

Yummy! What will you be making with the raspberries? Do you pick all your own fruit?

Gee. I don't know if I can say this without sounding offensive or disrespectful to the food service industry, but I'll give it a shot. The job of the waitstaff is to serve you a meal in a restaurant you choose to patronize. It is not the responsibility of the customer to make sure his waiter approves of size or the contents of the meal. I am one who tends to over-tip because I can see how difficult a job it is to wait tables, but I would never order more than I am comfortable eating in order to please the restaurant staff.

:iagree:

If life got really icky, would likely call Mindy. I should probably call her anyway... :)

WOW!! That is so exciting! Congratulations to all! :party:
