Decaf coffee that I brew (Starbucks or Gevalia).

Thanks Angela... good questions...

(1) Did you go to public and/or  catholic school? if both which do you like better?  Public all the way.  When I was in Junior High Schook, the Catholic School was across the street.  They had a parking lot to run around on the side.  the Public School recess brought us out to numerous fields (ball), track, football and I recall the public school kids yelling across the st. to the Catholic kids taunting them.  

(2) Do you have plans for Memorial Day weekend?  yup, we are going camping on Sat. 5/24 and returning 5/28... upstate NY.  On the Monday we will go over to Limerock, CT to see a car race for the day.  Few more days I can start watching the 10-day forecast... no rain no rain no rain!

 (3) What is your favorite food on the BBQ?   in the beginning of the summer HOT DOGS!

 (4) Do  you watch Dancing with The Stars? if so, who do you think will be voted off tonight?   I do watch and I think it'll be Marissa, but I like her and rooting for her to stay another week. 

 (5) How long have you had your computer?  Since February - my company sold it to me cheaply when they eliminated my position which made everything much easier since I did not have one at home and I had tons of personal stuff on this one.  Yeah!

(6) Which restaurant chain is your favorite?  Cheesecake Factory 

(7) What do you normally drink in the morning  coffee

(1) Did you go to public and/or  catholic school? if both which do you like better?  I went to catholic school for all but my first year of high school.  Speaking academically I liked catholic school better, but as far as having fun and freedom, it was public school. 

(2) Do you have plans for Memorial Day weekend? if so, what are you doing?  In Canada it's the Victoria Day Weekend, also known as The May Long Weekend, or for beer drinkers and partiers, May 2-4.  It will actually be the start of a 10 day vacation for valleyguy.  As for the weekend itself, we have no definite plans as of yet, but it will involve family, friends, and food.   

(3) What is your favorite food on the BBQ?  Teriyaki Chicken 

(4) Do  you watch Dancing with The Stars? if so, who do you think will be voted off tonight?  I don't watch.  

(5) How long have you had your computer?  This computer?  A little over a year.  A computer?  Ten years. 

(6) Which restaurant chain is your favorite?  We have to go to Toronto or Niagara Falls to find one, but we like T.G.I. Friday's.  We were thrilled to find one in Edinburgh, Scotland when we were craving some 'normal' food.     

(7) What do you normally drink in the morning (tea, coffee, juice..etc...)?  Coffee

Thanks, Angela.

    (2) Do you have plans for Memorial Day weekend? if so, what are you doing? So far,we will be home (South Florida) and have no plans although we're invited to come to Long Island for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's annual Memorial Day Bar-b-que. 

     

    (3) What is your favorite food on the BBQ? Ribs

    (1) Did you go to public and/or catholic school? if both which do you like better?......Both. Catholic school through 10th and public the last two years. Apples and oranges. I will say, the public high school was a breeze, compared to the intensity of the Catholic high school. Unfortunately, after my sophomore year, they consolidated four Catholic high schools and the new one was miles away (no buses) and the public high school was a few blocks away.

    (2) Do you have plans for Memorial Day weekend? if so, what are you doing?......We're on a months long re-landscaping project and as every spare minute, that's what we'll be doing.

    (3) What is your favorite food on the BBQ?......It use to be steak, now I'm down to Italian sausages. I don't know if others have this problem with husbands and grills, but whenever my husband is told that something is good, he gets carried away and OVER does it. The seasoning/marinade ends up overpowering everything. Italian sausages are already incased and ready to go.

    (4) Do you watch Dancing with The Stars? if so, who do you think will be voted off tonight?......Sort of watch. Poor Marissa will go tonight. When you see Stacy Keebler dance, it is painfully obvious that we short gals are at a real disadvantage with legs that don't fly out there.

    (5) How long have you had your computer?......I think less than 2 yrs. I know I hate it, so I need to wait awhile before I start ding-donging my husband to get another one. He's happy with both of his, so I think the next puchase will be mine.

    (6) Which resturant chain is your favorite?......With all the great restaurants in Houston, we rarely ever go to a chain, except Fuddruckers, which started here. I understand it's evolved into a chain. Cracker Barrel is always good to see when we're traveling

    (7) What do you normally drink in the morning (tea, coffee, juice..etc...)?......Water to take my medicines, followed by my caffine-free diet Pepsi.

  • Since we don't have a Cracker Barrell nearby we always look forward to eating at them while away when we see them. - kimipaggz
  • Midge..I agree I think Marissa is going home tonight.../Angela
  • Re-landscaping is a big job, but oh so satisfying when you're done. Think epsom salts! ...valleygirl
  • I feel for you on the landscaping project. Mr. Ingy and I busted our butts for 6 months relandscaping our backyard in Georgia. When it was finally done, a month later we decided to sell the house and move out of state. Figures, huh? Good luck with your project. ~i&b

    (1) Did you go to public and/or catholic school? if both which do you like better? Catholic school through high school. Higher education is different and does not compare (for me).

    (2) Do you have plans for Memorial Day weekend? if so, what are you doing? All girls, all weekend down the Jersey shore.

    (3) What is your favorite food on the BBQ? Hot dogs.

    (4) Do you watch Dancing with The Stars? if so, who do you think will be voted off tonight? I hope it's Marissa - if not I'll be really bummed.

    (5) How long have you had your computer? The current one - about 2 years.

    (6) Which resturant chain is your favorite? Not really into them but if I had to choose I'd say Bennigans.

    (7) What do you normally drink in the morning (tea, coffee, juice..etc...)? Water.

  • W.E. I have not been to Bennigans in years..they do have good food.../Angela .
  • I used to go to Bennigans when I went to business school in Mt. Laurel. We don't have any close to us here. I used to like that place for lunch. W.E. check out my link above about the Berkshire. If you are going to be in AC you may want to check out this restaurant. If you are interested in trying it I can give you the directions on getting there - its real simple from AC - kimipaggz
  • I haven't been to AC in years but I will keep that link. Many friends go and I will suggest it to them and ya never know - I might get there again.eom/WE
  • I'm sorry W.E. - when people say the Jersey Shore I always assume they are talking about my neck of the woods - Ocean City, Atlantic City, etc.... - lol - kimipaggz
  • The Jersey shore for me is (mostly) north of Seaside Heights/Park. I do like the whole shoreline - just don't get down by you too often. Then again there's Cape May - glorious.eom/WE
  • I was just in Cape May Saturday night, my husband and I had dinner at the Lobster House. - kimipaggz

    (1) Did you go to public and/or catholic school? if both which do you like better? I went to public school in a large city, and I received an excellent education (in the fifties and sixties). But that same school system today is a shambles and is nothing but a huge money-pit.  

    (2) Do you have plans for Memorial Day weekend? if so, what are you doing? Eat BBQ, and do battle with some very nasty inlaws.  

    (3) What is your favorite food on the BBQ? chicken  

    (4) Do  you watch Dancing with The Stars? if so, who do you think will be voted off tonight? Yes, I love DWTS. And probably Marissa is the next who'll be sent packing.   

    (5) How long have you had your computer? Since October 2000.  

    (6) Which resturant chain is your favorite? Ponderosa; cheap, nutritious lunch and salad bar is great.  

    (7) What do you normally drink in the morning (tea, coffee, juice..etc...)?  Coffee - enough to KILL any normal person
