skrtrnr - 2009-10-08 1:49 PM GHOULIE TEAM QUESTION: what is your preferred fast food resturant and what is your standard order?

Back in my beefier days it was a Monster burger from Hardees. I think they discontinued that burger eventually, from what I can only assume would be its direct link to heart attack victims.

If I have to eat out somewhere fast now its Subway all the time, hands down.

serendipity - 2009-10-08 3:59 PM Another 2.5 miles done. I was going for 3, but as I was coming down the road towards home I suddenly realized there were footsteps behind me. I look over my shoulder and there is a dog following me. Luckily I've met this dog before, because he is a BIG white german shepherd and looks like he could easily remove a limb. He's nice, though. Beautiful dog, but dumb as a stone. I stopped and walked him back home, then walked back towards my house. Next thing I knew he was next to me again. Tried again, then walked back to my driveway to meet the school bus but he was still with me. Then me and my son walked the dog home again. Walked back, and there he was again. He finally left when we went in the house, after making my dogs go crazy barking. I wish those people would stop letting the dog run loose.

Good thing he was friendly. Annoying as heck though.

skrtrnr - 2009-10-08 11:49 AM GHOULIE TEAM QUESTION: what is your preferred fast food resturant and what is your standard order?

I will begrudgingly admit that I actually enjoy some fast food restaurants. In the interest of simplicity though, I'll say my ideal fast food meal would be a plain old roast beef sandwich from Arby's with fries from McDonald's. I'm not sure if the rules allow for this kind of restaurant cross-mojonation, but those are my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it.

rules allow for this resturant crossmojonation, absolutely.

and for the record. id cross mojonate my fast food too.

i love Arbys Beef and Cheddar, but like you, id sub in McDonalds french fries.

schazaam.
stacieb

nice job TOM making up the word cross mojonation.

worth WAY more than two cents.

stacieb

Thanks Stacie, although I can't take full credit. I pulled it from Austin Powers

Love that movie! "So I thought I'd work my mojo, right, to counter their mojo. We got cross-mojonations and their heads started exploding"

Hey Robin. Veg here too. Easy at home, not so much when travelling. Had pretzels (big, soft, chewy, salty ones) for lunch several times this week in Munich.

Am a lazy beans & rice & whole wheat pasta & boca burger girl. That said, one quick suggestion.....add quinoa to your pantry staples. In the grains section of Whole Foods. Good source of protein.

Not a big fast foodie, but I seriously "heart" McDonalds french fries. Super size me. Fortunately keep it as an occasional treat or the super size might be real.

Does anyone else think you should be able to get a pedicure while getting your teeth cleaned? You'd leave the office brand spanking sparkly at both ends. Said wistfully as scheduling long runs on weekends seriously limits opportunity to schedule mani/pedis at salon. Plus, need to keep certain callouses or blisters become problem.

What a day! I was so crabby, I did not lift this morning, figured I would need it by the end of the day worse. Got to the office, and my hair just bugged me, I was so crabby. Called made an appointment for this afternoon. Then I had a strangulation (attempted) case, I was mad at the suspect, I was shaking inside. That has not happened in a long time..being that mad. Calmed myself with candy corn, talked about exercising with a coworker, and felt better. THEN....I went to the hair cutter for a color. She has many awards. Last time, she fried my hair by putting blonde on it 3 times in a row. Now we need color....picked it out, some bright brown a tad of red PERFECT! Until she took the towel off. I thought my kids overreacted, until I saw a lady sitting in the waiting area, and her reaction. My first thought was a nasty looking pumpkin, or one of those pieces of corn you put on the table. NICE....I treated myself to a nice greasy burger....loved it. and it was worth watching the reaction of the people in the resturant. We shall see in the morning.

Ok, good hair color trumps all! Make her award winning a$$ fix it. As for attempted strangulation cases, it depends on the circumstances. For example, was the victim a piece of $hit hair dresser that ruined someone's nice and natural color?

Good news! My hubby is driving home tomorrow! Ok, so technically he drove part of the way today. He will be home 2 days early! Yay!

(hmmm...maybe I should leave the toilet for him to fix tomorrow night rather than calling a plumber tomorrow.... NAH. He is coming home early and saving me money by not making me hire a babysitter while I work this weekend).

Yay for hubbies!
