Driving down to Hatteras Island, NC for the week and picking up the Mother-in-Law in Norfolk VA on the way (we're flying her from Cleveland to Norfolk).  Love the beach no matter the season -- cold or hot!

Where's the conference? Let me know and I can probably make some recommendations. Oh - and define "cheap!"

December? Bring 32.56 layers.

Downtown area in Minneapolis at the Hyatt Regency. We have a special rate of $99 a night, but less than that would be great. Not expecting it though. It's December 27 to January 2.

Great memories from my childhood, going to Buxton for summer vacation!!!


The sun is out....2 days in a row!!!!!!

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Makes me feel motivated to do stuff.....just not to clean the garage that the other half wants to do.   :uhsure: There's spiders and webs out there.  :o :o :o It's going to take a couple of days... :(

Have been doing reports since 7:30. Very tough to do a report on a 3100+SF house built in 2003 and never lived in. REAAAALLLLY weird.... 30 lot subdivision...only 4 houses built....in 2003...none have ever been occupied. Creepy. House should be around $300K and it would be lucky to sell for $200K.

Going to start cooking here in a bit. Making a bundt carrot cake...and a chicken casserole, that my friend adapted from a verrrry boring recipe, and I'm changing it up a bit more. I'm hoping it kind of turns out like the innards of a chiken burrito with rice instead of tortillas.


Thanksgiving we are spending with friends. It's kind of potluck....and not yet sure what I all I will be doing. Know that I'm going to do a baked brie in puff pastry, New Orleans corn pudding, and not sure what else.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Thanksgiving?  I'll be doing the same thing I do every day here Pinky, try to take over the world.

Seriously tho, I'm sure the chow hall will put on some kind of special meal.  Hopefully AFN will show some decent football.

$125 a cord?

I hate you.  Split, delivered, mixed wood up here is still $250 for green, $275-300/cord for seasoned.  Cash price for heating oil is up to $2.50/gallon.


 100 a rick??!?!?!?!  Damn you guys are getting screwed! The same guy is selling green Almond for $100 a cord. The seasoned stuff is a 2 year season, from the storms in 2007 that knocked over roughly 1/3 of the trees in the orchards around here, and we have ALOT of Almond orchards.
Oh, he wanted to make "sure" I got a cord and made me pile as much as possible in each load.
Damn stuff is friggin heavy. My arms are dead today.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Oh well. I haven't been to M/SP since I was about 6, and all I saw was the airport. Should be fun.

I'm gonna try to go home to Arkansas for Thanksgiving. Sitting around in shorts with the A/C on here in Florida on Thanksgiving is'nt my idea of fun. Mind you, being able to jog on the beach to work off that feast is a benefit to being here.

Hope you don't smoke......

MSP CAN be fun, but dangerous, too. Before I left, the downtown area had turned into a shit hole. Stay OFF of Lake Street.

Lake is about 3 miles south of downtown.  :tongue: But otherwise, I concur.
