Hey all! TGIF'ness to all.
Hot, humid, stormy here. Hoping the rain stays away this weekend. Will be driving out to Cedar Point in a few hours with my two oldest DSs et al. If you've been there know it's built on a thin peninsula a few miles long. With all the metal from the coasters, combined with the water of Lake Erie, it's the last place you want to be when a storm rolls thru. Staying at one of the onsite places with indoor water park will occupy them if storm does kick up, if that fails I' my taking a cooler of beverages (adult and otherwise)
Carole - are you suggesting there are thinly disguised TR threads here? Diabolical lol could be the plot for next minion movie!
I, for one, would love to see miscellaneous TRs/picture threads of other places besides U here...admitted travel junkie I am. Not sure if there is a miscellaneous trip report thread her anywhere nor would I khow that would play with the management here lol.
So we have a crazy person who lives in one of our communities that we have a rental in. The community has convents and he believes they need to be followed to a T such as grills are supposed to be stored out of sight. So when you're done grilling on your charcoal grill he expects it to be pulled back into the storage unit as soon as you're done. NOT COOLED down done, just done grilling. He goes over and takes a picture. One time the family was still on the porch eating the dinner they just grilled.
ANYWAYS. the e-mail addressed to us and a few other houses out there the other day said "DEAR TRAILER PARK NEIGHBORS" the end of it said "I am hoping that we don't have chickens and goats roaming these properties any time soon but I would not be surprised." I'm looking for a chicken to borrow and a harness to put it on so I can walk it around on the common area by his house.
Got to love by-laws! I actually do enjoy rules, but seriously... let the grill cool down first guy.
HOA doesn't allow outdoor grills to sit outdoors? Makes perfect non-sense.
Lovely pictures Schumi. I hate photos with me on but love to see everyone else! Went with DD to get DGS a pre-holiday hair cut today. Fab just for littlies place called Little Big Heads with a play room, personal IPads loaded with choice of viewing. She began taking him there as they understand his Dyspraxia but as he's always gone he's very relaxed and can sit still. DGD wanted to sit and watch in a little princess chair rather than playing in the other room! Dull weather but mild today - hoping the sun returns soon.

Aw how cute!
PS am I seeing peppa da pig? One of my favorite kids shows
Wait....
I miscounted
It is not 6 more days before I have to do my do at the motherland. It is 2 more days as of today
That means I have to pick them starting Thursday
I still have no idea what to chose
I'm right behind you. Pick the new frozen ride 1st, 7DMR next, followed by Peter Pan & it all tends to fall in place for me.
All I have is Benadryl right now. So I don't take it often or else I'll fall asleep at work
Another vote for the generic Flonase . When all else fails take a hit of Afrin but not more than a few times a month or you'll blow out (literally) your nose.
Crock pot is just a brand of slow cooker. I'm starting to get very short tempered with their products as of late. My crock pot that's been in storage since college has been discontinued. I was looking up where to purchase a replacement lid and found out it had HORRIBLE reviews. People reporting it completely scorching their food on low. That joker landed itself in the trash. I'm not risking a potential fire risk. My sister's tends to overcook things on low too.....
Guess I will be purchasing a different brand or finding mom's super old one in storage. Anyone else remember the crock pots where the crock was permanently attached? That thing is still the best one we've ever owned just a pain to clean.
Anyone have any recommendations? I need a smaller one for my new place at the parents.
Have you heard about my chicken pasta? It's my favorite. It's a creamy chicken sauce with Italian seasoning. Serve over pasta or rice. Love it! I make it with my olive garden breadsticks,
Will admit to having them in all sizes from extra large to just a quart. Perfect for buffet service vs chafing dishes. I don't mess with the ones with browning elements, timers, etc. Although I do have one that has what I call a haunted mansion design lol.
I go with reviews,
Amazon a good place to start. I have had surprisingly good luck as to longetivity with the JCP private brand - cooks.
Hoping we have everything packed, we are leaving for WestVirginia tomorrow for 5 nights. Molly was born in Charlestown and we're visiting some of her old haunts. Bat Boy cave, coal mine tour, Moth Man museum, plus the Greenbrier bunker tour and Falconry lesson. And some horseback riding. Should be fun...a good road trip with the Caddy. I've had The Beast 5 years and it only has 16K miles.
If driving thru Beckly, WV, remember the speed trap there. Have wanted to do the Greenbrier bunker tour. Feel free to share pics.
Good morning homies
At work now and it's already hot. I almost didn't make it since I forgot to set my alarm...bad thing is that it was my fastpass selection day. Thank goodness I woke up at 6:50 and was awake enough to get what I wanted. I did online check-in too so I'm all ready to go...is it Sept yet?
Have a great trip squirlz.
Nice minions Robo.
Yea!
as close as it gets....we need a cocktail smilie with an umbrella drink almost two for one 
Most other TM's (especially at the hotel!) were great. Overall though, let's just say that I don't have the energy of an 11-year-old anymore.
