Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!

Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Yeah...it's really a smart system. You put a quarter in the cart and it unlocks it from the other carts. Then when you are finished shopping, you take the cart back and re-lock it and it gives you the quarter back. It keeps them from having to hire people to be constantly bringing the carts back. And the carts stay nice...not beat up from being bashed around in a parking lot.
You bring your own bags too. And they don't take checks or credit cards...they take "some" debit carts but not mine, unfortunately. They sell only their own brands, too. Most are comparable or even better than name-brand. I think the coffee is, anyway.
All of these "weird" things are what keeps the prices down. You can really get good prices on things.
The most people I've ever seen working at the place is two. One person stocking and one person checking. It's like a small grocery store...not a big place.
That's why I liked this one, it was not bitter at all!
See, we're the obvious horror story of what happens when a kid is deprived of television...
My copy arrived today. With working midnights, overtime, family obligations, troop stuff, and (hopefully) sleep, I can really only freep at work, on slow nights.
I have to find about four hours of uninterrupted time to watch the movie without falling asleep. I tried watching FOTR on TBS last weekend, just for "old time's sake". I realized later I had a big blank spot from the council of Elrond to Boromir's funeral boat.
Sadie's litter mates all had the typical catahoula leopard stripes. She was the only one with the rottie markings. You're right though, she really doesn't look like a rottie. She has much longer fur than her siblings do as well. The vet at the shelter said that she will probably only get to about 50 lbs max. Really small for a rottie imo.
Sadie's nose also doesn't look very rottie-like. She looks like she is a very sweet-natured dog and she will be a great addition to your family!
At some point this semester, I seem to have lost the art of "sitting still and watching the movie". I need to be coding, or tidying, or something as I sit. It's annoying.
And I'd forgotten how dumb some bits are.
Glad you're liking it!
Me too! God takes care of the natural 'frosting', and I pay for the curls! If I didn't have them, my hair would just hang limp and gray all over my head.
Vey unattractive! ;o)
Well I didn't quite make it through TTTEE last night so I'm finishing up the battle at Helms Deep before I put on ROTKEE tonight. And I broke down and bought a new DVD player to replace that POS. Uh oh....9,999 orcs to go!
LOL!! She's gonna love that!! They're supposed to be here in Worcester sometime next year. I heard an ad on the radio.
That's cruel! :)
I'm blessed with cowlicks. :)
I've always wanted curls. But every single time I ask, the stylist has conniptions and insists it'll kill my hair. Sigh. Maybe someday, when my hair's limp and falling out anyway.
Smeagol and Deagol in a little boat.
Won't be long before Smeag's strangles Deagol's throat....
Meanwhile....
She'll go broke as a stylist with that attitude... their best money is in people ruining their hair ;~D
But it's happened with about six different chicks, so it must be true. The stylists like to say they'd like to have my hair. Well, yeah, but maybe they'd know what to do with it.
Although my current favorite style - bun secured with hair sticks - is pretty decent.
She was in an episode of Twilight Zone so she might have been on the Sci-Fi channel.
Hmmmm....the Aldis here takes debit cards.
