Still no idea why she left VA and came to Mizzou for grad school.

It was staggered appointment times and they were only allowed 2 guests. Tonight we’re taking her along with middle DD, SIL and 2 little granddaughters to Flemings to celebrate. It’ll be our 1st time inside a restaurant since Feb 2020. It’s times like these that make me truly dislike oldest DD and her family living in PA.

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted May 7, 2021 #15761 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Thanks everyone, truly appreciate all the congratulatory wishes. Re-reading my original post, it sound like I dislike oldest daughter who lives in PA 🤣. Of course what I meant is I dislike “the fact” that she lives in PA! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted May 7, 2021 #15770 Share Posted May 7, 2021 6 hours ago, Sea Dog said: I can relate every time I tell someone I'm from Kansas City and they say, "How do you like living in Kansas?" to which I reply "I don't live in Kansas I live in Missouri." That one confuses the heck out of me, although it seems to make sense to all of you because there is a river? in the middle. We were flying buddy passes to Mardi Gras many years ago. And I had to ask the gate person which airport this was? And they said, "Kansas City". And I said, "Oh cool. I've never been in Kansas before. " And she said, "You still haven't been there. We are in Missouri. " Granted, geography is not one of my strong points. But I still think that is one of the strangest things in the United States. Especially for people that grew up watching Wizard of Oz. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C19 rate is still very high ... Vaccinations are still at a slow rate ... ICUs are at max ... this is following a strict lockdown for several months ... not good ... they are opening up the economy this week in many ways including restaurants ... I just hope there is no huge spike in 30-45 days as happened with India after they opened up everything ... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDawg Posted May 7, 2021 #15775 Share Posted May 7, 2021 10 hours ago, George C said: Doug Flutie Before Doug went to the Bills I saw him a playing for the Toronto Argos. My brother and I had Argo season tickets since the mid 1980's. Flutie was a great QB, perfect for the CFL game. He was so fun to watch. After he left, I saw him play once during our annual boys weekend sports trips to Buffalo. A Sabres game on Saturday night, chicken wings at the Anchor Bar, taxi back to the hotel at some ungodly hour, and then the Bills on Sunday afternoon. In later years the routine changed to the Anchor Bar first, Sabres second, in bed at the hotel by 11pm, then the Bills on Sunday. Hey, even Doug slowed down eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
