You should always in a drink during ladies night out. Tends to keep the population of kids down.
I should have said church ladies. There won't be alcohol :(.

Certainly you can slip a flask in your purse???

So my brother is single and has some health issues. Dad's wife called and asked if DD and I minded bunking with him. Of course not! We love him to pieces and I'd feel better knowing someone was watching over him. We just got upgraded to a suite with a balcony instead of a cabin. :).

I go through non-stick skillets every 2-3 years. Maybe next time I'll check out the ceramics. Or just stop using cooking spray.

Depending on what I am cooking, I use olive oil spray even with the ceramic skillet, the spray gives it that nice browning affect, a bit more than without it. Doesn't affect taste, just looks.

Now that is good Karma!

It's miserable out there.

Had a funny incident happen.

I drive a Ford Windstar. At one place I had to go today, there are about 5 parallel parking spaces under this huge patch of shade trees. 2 of those places are reserved but the other three are first come first serve.

So I park in the very last one. It is actually at the end of the proprty and has a large curb.

So I'm sitting there waiting for Aaron to finish what he is doing, and this guy in a little Ford Taurus comes in. It's his reserved parking place in front of me. He has his parking space and half the space in front of him cause that car is parked wrong.

First try, he misses. Second try, he misses. 3rd try, he misses.

So he starts motioning for me to back up. I'm not in his space, I can't go back much further because I'll hit the curb.

I don't move, he tries again. Misses. He gets out, puts a hand on his hip and says, "you gotta back up, I pay $75 a month for this space" I tell him I don't care. He has plenty of room.

He says "you're in my space". I laugh and said no I wasn't and "I parked with no problem, ain't my problem you cant".

He tried again, missed again.

I finally backed up about an inch.

He still barely got in the space.

I can't believe the people can't parallel park. And he was at least my age or older.

Love watching people try to park, its great people watching as I'm sure people say about my parking!

Oh. And Jesse passed his learners test. He now has about 6 months to go and he can get his license.

I'm really proud of him. I was really wondering for a long time 8f he would be able to get them.

I spent TWO HOURS on a paddle board off Kitsilano today. So beautiful, and a little seal came out to play with us (or just give us dirty looks for chasing away all his fish) for nearly 30 minutes!

So awesome Tig!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That's really cool!

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

It was great - we paddled a bit, floated and chatted a bit, paddled some more . . . pretended we were pirates, chased seagulls . . .. sunbathed . .. found ourselves drifting into the shipping channel which made us paddle really really fast . . .

I dared my friend to imitate Finding Nemo and 'touch the butt', but she wouldn't go for it. We boogied out of that area pretty quick!

I'm not sure what happened with the oven. I googled the problem and received advice on running diagnostics. I did it, nothing came up, but then the oven started working, so maybe the oven's diagnostics just needed to be run through.

Beautiful view, Tig! Congrats to Jesse! Woo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mayor of Seattle just approved for a bunch of crosswalks to be painted rainbow in honor of pride week. It's going to cost tax payers over 100,000 dollars.

I'm so lucky to live in such a blue state!

That is really strange. How do they think that that is a good expenditure? Is it because Vancouver did it first?

I saw that Vette. The gay pride people are rejoicing. I guess my first thought was that money could do so much good in other areas pertaining to gay rights.

I think someone should place a pot of gold at the end of those rainbow walks. Turn it into something Irish.

The ones they have already done in another city already just look gaudy. They said the neighborhoods were colorful already and that the crosswalks would fit right in. But it really seemed to make the whole neighborhood more gaudy. The new thing is to kiss on the crosswalk. And they have to be repainted every three years unlike standard crosswalks. It's very pricey to maintain. I still the money could be better used to help the gay community in so many other ways.

Or - you could put boats or pairs of animals.

Can I just say how ironic it is that the gay pride movement has taken the rainbow as their symbol. God destroyed the earth over man's debauchery, and gave us the rainbow as a promise he wouldn't do it again. It's like they are thumbing their nose at God. "I'm doing this but you PROMISED not to destroy us over it, so we'll use the rainbow as our symbol to remind you of your promise."

Vette · Owl drink to that!

The money could be used to help ANY community in other ways. How about putting it towards the schools? Or the homeless? Or almost literally ANYTHING else besides painting cement.

Well, $100,000 of taxpayers money to paint streets rainbow colored makes gay people feel happy, proud, and accepted. I swear I can list a hundred other ways that money could help the gay community.

I've said something similar. How Satan took a symbol of God's promise and bastardized it.
