Target chit chat

Oooh, that was me! I will have to check that out! My sister was a sweetie and showed up on my doorstep Sunday night after church with a Target bag in hand. She bought me the patterned dress at Target, 50% off. Wearing it today, as a matter of fact!! So cute with a jean jacket (since its raining and yucky outside...).

A Moscato is very sweet and is considered a dessert wine. Next up, a Reisling is pretty sweet but quite drinkable. I really like Polka Dot Reisling.

The reds have great health benefits but a lot of them tend to be dry and hard to drink if you are a fan of sweet drinks. A wine I like is Apothic Red. It's a red wine but it has hints of chocolate and vanilla. Quite enjoyable.

good luck! a wine tasting is a great idea.

hi kay! did you get the toy clearance list i emailed you yesterday? just checking.

you may want to start w/ fruit-flavored wines, white zinfandel (that's pink) or beaujolais nouveau. i'm sure there are many people way more knowledgeable than me who could suggest some brands. i also suggest going to wine tastings. these days lots of liquor stores have wine tastings on the wknds. you don't have to go to the vineyard anymore. in my area, many of the stores will post outside or in the window when they will hold the next one.

kay, thank you SO MUCH for the sparkling water qs! we guzzle through several PS sparkling water bottles everyday! :bo unce:

wine... i personally think finding a vineyard that makes fruit wines and going for a tour will be great. we did that last summer. went to a highly rated winery that grows several kinds of fruits - peaches, plums, apricots, apples, grapes etc and then makes fruit wines. they showed us their whole process and we got to taste 8 different wines.
and then shop in their store, where you got a discount for buying. we brought home several amazing wines. some are dessert wines - rather sweet. some are drier wines. some are very full bodied. truly their wines are like a fruit cocktail in your mouth - full of amazing flavors, without being nauseatingly sweet. very nice.

those wines are also designed to be consumed soon after production unlike wines designed to be vintage wines. so they actually taste best when new, which means you get the freshest wines from the vineyard, rather than waiting for the whole distributor route with a store.
on the other hand, when you go to a store wine tasting, there's a wide variety of choices, so you are not limited to any one winery's production. and if it's a knowledgeable store and you tell them things you like to eat and drink, they can direct you to wines you may like and help you pick the right ones in a tasting.

why am I awake at 2:55 in the morning? I've been awake since 1:15.

ETA: I threw in the towel and got up. Ya'll wake me about 2 pm this afternoon, as :ya wn: I'll probably need it.

good morning.

animal control called bright and early right after 8am to get our address. mind you, their hours are supposedly 8.30 - 4.30 so my taxpayer dollars are hard at work. dh thinks it's b/c they have nothing to do :tee hee:. picked up the cage b4 8.30, released the ground hog somewhere else (at least that's what i hope they did cuz they were back real quick) and returned that almost $50 cage b4 9am.

another alien encounter story from yesterday-
using exact same computer the alien could not find the phone number for town animal control. since i know all the calls get routed thru a main switchboard, i know you just need to figure out the main phone number and then the extension, but first i checked the phone directory page (wasn't there). he's called animal control b4 when they told him he needed to buy a cage and trap the animal himself, so not like he's never called them. then i got the extension number from googling my town + animal control to go straight to that webpage instead of hunting around for it. then i went to the homepage and got the township phone number. alien dials the number and nobody picks up and he says there is no answering machine. i then dial the exact same number and leave a message. and they call back 1st thing this morning and it's all taken care of b4 9am.

yeah, that's why everything takes twice as long to get done in my house. can't even find a frickin' phone number and leave a message.

Umm..the bunnies is in da house..say bah-buy to the peace :bou nce:

It's 5:00 PM...are you awake? Wake up!! This is your alien phone call...wake up!! Animal control is on their way over to drop off a ground hog or hedge hog (I can't remember which one ) :lo ok:

Wake up. Wake up tn. Sorry the wake up call is late.

Been a crappy shopping day. Could not even use 1 measly TQ on a Orange Juice at Target Cafe. Cashier said it must be something in the Cafe like a cooked meal! Give me a break.

Tried to buy something at WM and was told by cashier, after I switched lanes cause of an extremely slow cashier, "I'm fixin' to close". Left cart with her. Was in a rush and did not have time to hunt down a cashier that was willing to cashier.

My local Mom & Pop has 99¢/lb Skinless/Boneless Chicken Breast tomorrow (Super Saturday!). Hoping to grab several pkgs at that price. I can't even get good hot dogs for that price.

Morning everyone!

I was wondering if you SDers could help me figure out some techy things. I am trying to hook up internet service but I don't want it through the cable company and I don't want a land phone line. Do you know what the cheapest way to accomplish that? Also, I am trying to figure a way to not get cable and yet feel fulfilled when it comes to watching TV. Do you recommend netflix? What about live sports? I don't think I can get DH on board if he can't watch football.

(I heard GG is very good w/ these types of things )

There's such a thing as a good hot dog??

AT&T is advertising a special for $14.95 for DSL, with no phone needed. At the higher speeds, you would probably be able to use Netflix. I have the lowest speed, but still with a land line, and cannot stream Netflix.

I'd like to get rid of my land line too, but I'm not sure how cost effective it would be. I need to find out if all the taxes and surcharges they put on my bill for my phone would be applicable to Internet service alone. If it were just the $14.95 a month (for 6 or 12 months, then $25 to $35 after that depending on speed, I'd hop on it. Gotta check into it further.

Now we have to have it through the stinky Co-Op in town and just for the lowest speed plus the required phone line (because they're a CoOp they have to require it) it's nearly $65 The telephone portion is less than $20 of that and the internet service is way less reliable than what we had.

It's been a long time since I posted a pic, so I hope this works.
I saw this in T yesterday. I thought it was a joke (put up by some kids or something), then I saw it was on T cash register tape.
