In our town with all the older retired folks, sample day is a big event. They know how to make a meal out of it. I was told by a couple of people that work in our local Costco that ours is #1 in wine sales in the country. Go figure. I guess when you are retired and there is nothing else to do... drink.

My wife's idea of hiking is walking from Saks Fifth Ave store to the Louis Vuitton Store.

We are in the Keys for close to a week every month now. Went down a week ago Wednesday and stayed thru Sunday. Weather was great! Going back down in three weeks. Disney in the summer is a hard NO for me. Besides the heat and humidity and thunderstorms, who wants to wait for an hour in line for each attraction surrounded by thousands of school kids? Go to Disney in late fall or winter when kids are in school. Maybe the wife and I are just getting to be old and grumpy....

I prefer the pizza.

Wife and I "honeymooned" in the FL Keys, because we live in FL and I have a house in the Keys. If you are not used to heat and humidity the Keys, and actually anywhere in FL will be a lot to tolerate. Many people from "up north" think the summers in FL are unbearable. We like it, but we live here. Expect oppressive humidity and daily afternoon thundershowers. I would probably suggest Alaska or Wyoming.

We might have a blizzard here too...if I can find a Dairy Queen. How much is the tariff on Timbits?

Got married at the beach in our town. Just my family and our minister. Following the wedding had a meal at our house for everyone.

Life is good. I'm hanging out here in the Keys having a drink and watching Earth Wind and Fire on PBS. The house is wide open and haven't had to use the ac since we arrived Wednesday. The entire 4 panel sliding door is open out to the porch overlooking the canal. Watching the boats and manatee go by. The new dog really likes this place too. We don't want to go back tomorrow and work this coming week..... Which got us into some serious talk about retirement. Been thinking about and looking forward to this for a long time, and maybe this will be the year. Was hoping I'd have someone to take over the practice and did have one guy that we have known for a long time said he wanted it, but backed out a few months ago. Talking with a few classmates that are also having a hard time finding someone to take over their practice. May just have to close the doors, and if that's the case will probably do it in September. A lot to think about and a lot of details to work out, but I'm ready.

I understood that but your response just didn't seem to make sense based on the post you were replying to..... What ever.

??

Of course you know I do that just to aggravate you. LOL And it seems to work.

So this is where you learned your parenting skills for Mini-bone.

Congrats and enjoy. It seems that we are finished with new grand kids. My son has 2 girls, 4 and 6, my daughter has 15 month old twins, and my wife's daughter has 2 boys, 5 and 7. Two seems like the magic number for our kids. Lucky for us they are all in FL.

Great Smoky Mountains national park is the busiest park in the US. I think they are taking measures to control and lessen the crowds. Mammoth Cave is great. Went there a couple of times when I lived in Louisville.

Don't forget JoAnne stores are closing. Be sure to get there for the mark downs.

I take my teeth out when I go...

Can't we just get cheap eggs from China like we get everything else? LOL

I could see this being handled much like an expedite request. Generally NO AOS from a tourist visa except for very special cases. "I arrived for a visit and he popped the question and we got married. Now we just can't bare to be apart" just isn't going to cut it.

I love that store. I go at 6am, get everything I need for groceries and other items, and return home right around 7am. No time wasted.

President Donald Trump announced a new visa program for investors coming to the United States on Tuesday that would cost applicants $5 million. Trump, touting the project as a "Gold Card" program mimicking the Green Cards permanent residents get, told reporters in the Oval Office that it would be up and running in two weeks. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-gold-card-visa-announcement-eb5-replacement-2036226

They do have nice bathrooms... and plenty of gas pumps.

Yep. Really getting bored watching Max run away from the field. Most exciting part of the race is usually the first lap. I feel like qualifying mostly determines the outcome. Was going to go to the F1 race in Miami until I saw the CRAZY ticket prices. Decided I'd stay home and for the same money by a huge 85" TV for the same price and watch the race and have something worthwhile after. Where are those teams from? Years ago I watched Aussie Rules football because it was one of the only "interesting" programs on early on a weekend morning. Quit watching because I never figured out the rules. Will say we visited Australia once about 10 years ago to visit a friend of my wife's. Most of our time was spent around Sydney and a day trip to the Blue Mountains. A beautiful place and would love to go back, but the trip there from south Florida is horrible. May be going back next year for a wedding. Brisbane next time.

Finally you ate a decent and healthy meal. Thanks Mama T-B Hi, my name is Georgina and I'm a rubia. I love cats, eating crappy food, and seeking out cheap junk at ES and GS. Want to communicate? LOL

Yep. I think a big old hairy ape would make the perfect mate for TBone.

Sunny and warm here, just to make you feel better. So the pursuit is exhausting. Time to find a new approach. Maybe a different dating site?
