the love affair is OVER....they must blame each other for the loss.....LOL
GAG me........bagged salad greens......blah! Fresh greens....and I like a variety of different ones.....green leaf and romaine are my favs. Wegmans has the BEST produce anywhere......I just stopped in to buy some greens this week.
A+++
Kiss of death from sKerry is not going to help Obama. LOL
White Cheddar Nips........YUM!
I love baked cheetos too.
Hubby brought home a brand new bag of Baked Lays......I have so far resisted all urges to open the bag. LOL
i cannot fathom preferring the bag over fresh yummy salad!
OMG......greta was just on with shep......they are tracking the plane with OJ in a slo-mo style........ala the white bronco.........this is TOO FUNNY! hubby and I are laughing!
All bow to the Better Cheddar!
Cheese Nips rule!
what a cutie!!! when does the tooth fairy fly home?
well at least it wasn’t her first so while it was sad to miss it, it wasn’t tragic! she is adorable.
She’s precious! And not likely to need braces either, the way her primary teeth are lined up. You’re lucky. I’m waiting for my youngest to lose a few so we can start orthodontia. But they are holding fast.
I don’t think I’m ever coming home. I can give you the “Cook” report and let you know we finally actually ran something (the auxiliary oil pump), but who wants those details?
I ate empanadas, which was foreign food and yet still very good. Like a Hot Pockets if they were made with care.
6 days into the mission they finally got me somethig like a proper table instead of the ersatz stepstool I was using. No, they didn’t buy a folding table, they had some carpenters hand-craft one for me. I don’t think it will fit in my luggage, or I’d take it home with me.
The weather is nice and the ocean and girls are beautiful. Being near the sea keeps the temperatures, while hot, manageable.
Hot sand, ocean breezes, beautiful women.......but then again there is a little girl who is missing a tooth and a Daddy at home. Good luck figuring that one out. LOL
I am glad you are managing to enjoy your banishment to Chile.....enjoy your reprieve from the cold.
do your chilean counterparts speak english well? who are you hanging with? are you speaking any spanish?
empanadas are one of the national dishes of chile, glad you are experiencing some of the culture. i continue to be J ; )
Is there any way you can bring the family over there or is it way too expensive? I think I recall your comment on how pricey your ticket was to travel.
When you can't convey "swap those ones (wires) with the other ones so we can test if the problem is here or there" without a lot of pointing at drawings and gesticulating, it slows things down.
That said, I got more done in a 6-hour "half day" today than I had on whole days earlier this week. Cause I had a good crew (people willing to work on a Sunday) and our translator engineer hung around most of the day cause there were no other jobs to attract his attention.
