WWTBAM Bored

I hope you all had great birthdays. I wasn't ignoring you, but I found myself in a wireless-free internet zone* for a week. (I shouldn't complain, as I did posses the only cell phone that got a signal, and all I had to do was go outside and stand in a specific spot in the northwest corner of the upstairs deck. No one ever called while I was standing there.)

Anyway.... Cake! Ice cream! Candles! Wishes that will come true!


*I don't mean that wireless was free. I mean that there was no wireless, but "wirelessless" just doesn't sound quite right.

Otherwise known as "The Dead Zone"!


Thanks for pointing out the birthdays.

Hope everyone had a great one and many more to come!

Are you the one that bought the old Miller Place?

Thank you!

We've started the party for you and Astro a little early this year. We were split whether we should have the party the weekend before, or the weekend after the big day. When I was a kid, I hated having to celebrate my birthday on a day different than the official date. To compromise, we started your celebrations today, and the party will last through next Sunday.

I hope your trip was fun. How did the pups stay in touch?

Gotta run, the party gang is getting ready to start the competitive weed pulling. I opted out of the "sit on the chair to pop the balloon game" so that I could come in and post this message. I must admit that I am still scared of that balloon game. (that and opening the pillsbury biscuits)

Ouch. I forgot to pay attention to the Birthday list.

Hope y'all had happys!

Did you invite Ringo? I'm glad I'm not the only one who's still fearful of the those damned bang on the counter biscuit tins.

What's up with July birthdays anyway.

I had one July birthday (my son) until last year. Now my daughter in law & son in law are in July. Natalie is August 1, so that may as well be July!

I may be making a quick trip to Dallas next weekend, the rest of the family is gone the next one, so tomorrow is July birthday day at my house.

I am making Kraft Foods Best-Ever chocolate fudge cake and now have to go gift shopping later today. Maybe it will be a good thing to get them all over with in one fell swoop.

cake recipe - so easy and so good! I think I've posted it before.

Also a request for bacon wrapped green beans.

Rinse whole green beans and sprinkle with brown sugar.

Wrap about 4-5 beans with 1/2 strip bacon. Place in casserole dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. These will disappear like hot cakes!

They are what I call labor intensive, but I'll do it for the birthday group.

Ringo had prior plans. I did manage to convince Nicole and Keith to hold off on the big debut of SUNDAY until Monday.

Yeah, I have Samantha the Brave open the biscuits for me.

Thanks SC!

Presents were got, and cake was eaten. Julie managed to light all 41 candles, but forgot to light the special candle that played "Hippo Birdy, Two Ewes" in the middle of the cake first. She nearly got 2nd-degree burns trying to get that one lit. [There was some thermocouple running up the middle of the wax which activates the sound device when the candle is lit. However, you can't turn the damn thing off except by drowning it in water. And it starts up again when you take it out of the water.]

Tonight we are going for a slightly belated B'Day dinner at "The Hobbit", one of the best restaurants in Orange County.

Fanny, that Verizon commercial came on tonight, and I started laughing all over again.

"The most recent residents became completely insane."

Yep. Been there, done that.

Around our house we've always called them Whomp Biscuits -- because that's what you have to do go open the things.

LOL!

I thought I was the only one with this phobia!

I make 6ft. 2in tall 14yo Son1111 open them.

I fell so much better now!

You can open those cans with a spoon turned backwards. You're more in control, it's not as traumatizing or loud.
