Let's All Have A Chat
Good afternoon!I'm about to get ready for work :( But it might be a good thing, as I'm in a foul mood today for some unknown reason. And not being on GR tonight means I can't take it out on you guys! :)
I will be fine :)it's almost Friday! :D

If it makes you feel better Janet, right now, it looks like it's going to be a dreary day!!

Michael, where are you? Today in Minnesota we are scheduled for bad storms--blah. I hate them as they scare the bejeezers out of my cats! At least it will be close to 70 today--my fav temp is 72ish.Janet--UK is usually overcast, right? Approx what % of days are blue sky?

Good day everyone! This is my first week being unemployed, just did some cardio, yoga, now having a cuppa tea! It's nice not having anything to do for a change

I love those conversations! Kind of like the telephone game!
Janet: I hate those kind of winters. Southern Alberta is more like a dessert in terms of rainfall but as of Tuesday morning we woke up to snow on the ground & we're heading into a weekend calling for snow. I.AM.SICK.OF.SNOW!! ;p
Anyone here from the east coast? We're leaving next week on my dream trip. Chicago, Boston, Philli & Washington DC! Really hoping that Chicago or Boston are still the NHL playoffs, I'd LOVE to catch a game!!

I'm usually the first in line to take a risk regardless of reviews, rotten tomatoes... This one; couldn't do it. Anyone see "non stop" w/ Liam Neeson?

Thank you for your permission.

OMG almost 300 post to read, you guys are to much. Kind of loving the Do it Do it now.... please comments, lolI am at work, can't stay on for long.
Have a great day everyone, breathe in the wonderful air even if it is raining and snowing and release any bad or stressful energy.

Should it have been called $20 to Kill?
I never even heard of that film.

And this winter you would have had a time of it. I'm in Silver Spring, Bethesda's poor cousin!!
We might be going to Washington DC for summer vacation this year.
Good Thriller meet & greet... Washington DC!!
National Institute of Health. I'm not sure Daniel...would be cool if several of us were in the area at the same time.
I've wanted to go to Washington DC for years. I may be Canadian but I can still respect the power & strength that the city represents. The Freedom Pool, the Vietnam Memorial... All of it! Obviously the Smithsonian is too big to completely take in but any suggestions? My hubby & I love pubs as well. I welcome any & all suggestions :) & as a bonus; hopefully either Chicago or Boston will still be in the playoffs, cuz I'd LOVE to see a game!

I would recommend eating anywhere else but the museum cafeterias--overpriced, and the food just isn't that good. I would do a museum in the morning, and the mall after. The Dubliner, near the Capital is my favorite pub. And make use of the metro--inexpensive, well run, efficient and easy to use. Cabs are expensive and you don't want to drive. The newest museum is the Afro-American History Musuem near the Washington Monument. My favorite is the American History Museum, followed by the Air and Space Museums.
Everyone should come to Boston! It's a great place to visit!
I want to go to Canada some day :)Also the US...
I need to win the lottery :)
Thanks Michael! I've heard a lot about the Metro & we're kind of adventurous that way so we'll have to give it a try! I'll definitely try the pub! We're half foodies half pubbies!
Malina wrote: "Everyone should come to Boston! It's a great place to visit!"That is another option for us. We will either go to Boston or DC, hopefully.
Chicago is a great place to visit, as well!
Malina wrote: "Everyone should come to Boston! It's a great place to visit!"Sometime in the next year or two my wife and I will be coming to Boston. Might hit you up for some recommendations.

I want to go to Norway and Sweden!!
I can't wait for Boston! The food, the atmosphere... If we go to the game, any recs forsupper after?
Ahh traveling. Doodle, if you get to canada, let me know. I'll build you the best itinerary! :) where's home? Yes, I could go to
