I am so, so hoping the one we get will have happy hour. My mom tries to time her trips into town so she can get a slushie 1/2 price on the way back. What's Ocean Water flavored with?

I think its blue coconut/sprite. I actually hate coconut, haha...so it cracks me up how much I love that drink.Every Sonic I've seen has the happy hour, even the one in my half dead teeny tiny hometown where my parents live.
I usually hate coconut flavored things, or dried coconut, but I like it fresh, just scraped out of the shell. I can always taste it, and hate it, when cookies or something has coconut oil.
Me too Kandice! This drink is like...not coconut-y. Its very blue and takes basically like Sprite. I can't stand fresh either.Fiona...that is actually how I feel about The Stand, somewhat. Too many characters, I get confused. Well...its more like at the beginning of the chapter I'm like "Oh Lord, who the hell is this again?" And then like 2 lines later I remember. haha. I am really liking it though!
I think part of the confusion is just not reading long enough a stretch to get all the characters. There end up being a group of them, like the Stand, but they are very individual, and once you have them all straight, it's very easy to begin to care for them. Like the ensemble in the Stand, there will be some you don't like, but even they are pretty interesting.
It was perfect! Well, Darby was upset her team took only 3rd out of 12, but they ARE playing up a bracket, and she played beautifully! She's the keeper, and she got a finger jammed, a hand stepped on, so it's black and blue, and she slid on her butt and got a huge raspberry. I would have hated all those injuries as a little girl, but she feels like they are badges of courage or something.I got my ring, and it is... DIVINE!
Sorry Rachel, I thought that's what I had heard on the commercials for the t.v. movie.Well, I have that piercing, but it's a TINY diamond. No way I would put a ring or something big on there.
Rachel-He had them completely rebuild my original ring in The exact same design, but replaced the diamonds with better ones. It's two rows of 5 diamonds each, in a swirly line. The middle diamond of the engagement ring part is bigger. He also had them add a second swirly line of 5 to the other side. Now it's 3 swirly lines with only the very middle diamond big. I love it!!! It is an upgrade of sorts, but it's still my ring.
I had a pepperoni sandwich for lunch, and while it was really good, I think I need a Tums or a Rolaid!
Allison, do you have Night Shift by him? We have been poking fun about a story in that book, The Lawnmower Man. It's only 10 pages, and I am rying to get at least Becky and Angie to read it so we can have a quick discuss. It's really, really disturbing, but... It's hard to out a finger on it.
Let me know. We have been trying to figure out who could play him, but not make it goofy. It's one of those stories that are so surreal, you know it would come across on film as goofy, but on the page...I hope you can read it. Don't even thnk about that idiot movie from the 80's with the same name. It's not the same, okay?
I agree with Allison I want to stay at home and read today...I just have so much to get done before I go in for surgery tomorrow. *sigh*
He is just not good with people. He is one of those bosses that has NO idea how the office runs, and he doesn't even know how to use the computer program we use! (We sell parts so all our orders and stuff are generated from a program.) Yet he makes all these demands of people and tries to control what we do all day. It is VERY frustrating.
Sorry. I hate when the people in authority never had to perform the tasks they ask their "underlings" to do on a daily basis. They can't have a good idea of what they are really asking. Drop an Es-Lax in his coffee. Or, if you believe CSI, you could just squirt in some Visine!
I LOVE Diet Coke, but Pepsi tastes flat to me. Before I drank diet, it was Pepsi or nothing. Weird. Now I am really wondering about Lisa.
You are actually going to buy the whole mini-series? I used to have a lot of his on VHS, but have never replaced them on DVD. Have you seen it before, Allison? I know Fiona has, because she LOVES Sinise.
I have not..thats why I was hoping to get it on Netflix. :( Maybe I'll buy it one of these days. I looked on Amazon for a sec, and only saw it on VHS. I didn't look that hard though.
Man Rachel...I HATE it when people mess with my phone. We have a radio button, and I swear every time I'm gone someone hits it and changes the station.It really pisses me off because no one should be at my desk anyway!
GRR. I'm mad just thinking about it, haha.
FIONA!!!!! Didn't you just have to replace one because of tea? You silly girl. It is a bit cheesy, but I also enjoyed it because some of the characters were so perfectly cast. Nick and Tom being my favorites. M-O-O-N spells perfect!!!

I just answered him plainly when he asked what kind of team leader I look for and i said one that helps the people in the team and that also works and not jsut delegate but doess't do a thing. And he is really that kind of person. He is great as a team leader.
My favorite character in the Stand was Nick Andros. Both the book and the series. I love Rob Lowe, and his face is so angelic, I could never imagine anyone else in that part.

Rachel-You would still have to make it! Can I suggest, if you get one, MAKE SURE it has a delay timer. I love to get it all ready in the morning, and then come home just as it's ready to be turned out, shaped and baked! Technically you aren't supposed to use the delay if there are eggs in the bread, but I do, and none of us have gotten food poisonong! Ha ha!!!!

oooo there are good guys and bad guys? THANKS FOR RUINING IT!...just kidding.
I just met Trashcan Man a few pages ago. I want to blow something up now :)
A colleague made me very happy today. She is in charge of sending the debit note targets. There are the 180+ and 60+ debit notes which refers to days over the due date. My 180+ was 148, which means that i ahd to get customers pay or clear 148 debit notes in total before friday.......even though my team leader was very confident in me that I could do it, I wasn't sure at all. because every update the green line that shows how many you did already didn't cahnge much. That was because even if I did ten it didn't show well on my total. But today she send us a new one and told us that the previous one wasn't correct. the correct one shows my 180+ on 48 as total!!!!!:-)))))))))))))))))))) That is sooooo much better. And at least my green line that shows how many are done shows on the line!
I found that very confusing, but I certainly could tell congratulations are in order! Hooray Jeane!BTW I am making homemade pizza Thursday night. It's one of our favorite dinners!
Rachel, when you get your bread machine that's the first meal you should do. Homemade pizza dough is the BOMB!!!!
I. want. to. die.Lunch breaks should really be longer. I don't know if I can stand to work for 4 more hours before I can go home and read!!
The Stand is very very addicting.
Jeane-I missed that lazy girl comment!!!! I AM NOT!!! I am a whirling dervish of activity, as far as the laziness goes. As far as spoiling... I don't spoil myself, but would never object of someone else would like to spoil me!
