New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

most of the time there's a line. laugh out loud what do you do with the bottoms? The tops are so heavy.. It always falls over when i remove the cupcake liner. its like it no longer has support! I like to eat it with a spoon yummy
My bottoms always fall off too laugh out loud. I've started to just toss them. I don't enjoy them as much so I save those calories for other tops!

I hate the forks at sprinkles with a passion! They freak me out.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
they have a cupcake ATM now in BH! Even an ice cream place next door where you can have cupcake tops or cupcake crumbs added.

Most people still wait in line for the shops instead of using the Cupcake ATM tho since each cupcake is individually packaged, so it includes the 0.50 box charge if you box per cupcake.
Normally there is a line at the ATM in Chicago too. It's a pretty happening little place!

We have a few cupcake places around here. One we have is called Swift. They are pretty good. Another Kara's Cupcakes- they are good to but I don't like their customer service, so I stopped buying from them.

There's a place here that won something on cupcake wars (don't even know what that is but it's their claim to fame). I can not eat them they're so rich. They make me jittery. I've tried splitting one with ds and I still get jittery. It's weird because I can eat 2 sprinkles cupcake tops and not get jittery and thats more cake.

TJ's! woot I just picked up a bag of the new Cheddar and Horseraddish chips. Holy cow, it burns all the way down laugh out loud I miss your food talk around here - Pioneer Woman recipes I believe? Scratchchin
I haven't tried those, but I do love horseradish! Have you tried their cookie butter?

Girlfriend, ever since I quit WoW (I KNOW), I've been cooking and baking so much more. I love it.
Quote from crazymonkey1980 :
Love trader Joe's you will have to share if there is a "deal" page for them somewhere ... I am not totally sold on MArshalls yet, but I have a great Ross and Homegoods store near me! woot
Trader Joe's doesn't have sales but I think their prices are already great! As for Marshall's, I really just shop there for home items (I LOVE home goods!) and food. I got a pizza pan there for $8 and on amazon it's $36!

Waaaaait, it's not a free app?

... This is why I don't do Apple. I more or less refuse to pay for digital content.
Roll Apple doesn't dictate app prices! And funny enough, the top 100 paid apps on Android cost way more than Apple as of last year.
Quote from GoHeels :
Hey girl. hug What's new in your life? Thanks for the review on the shorts. I can see how that would be a problem.

I agree with the other girls. You need to be a regular around here again. We miss you. Like porda, I miss your posts on cooking/recipes.
I'll be posting LOTS of cooking things- I've become even more obsessed with it! Tonight I'm making a low fat alfredo sauce that I've made before. It tastes like restaurant quality! Making it with lobster ravioli from TJ's!!

i like the sporks at sprinkles lol my coworker said its the fact that their plates & sporks are all wood = why we're paying such high prices. You don't like DS eat the bottoms?

Do you have a crumbs? That's the biggest competitor here I think. I don't like them though...they're a bit dry the one time I had it in NY.

I tried Sprinkles red velvet ice cream couple weeks ago, and it was pretty good. Still sweet, but I thought it would be sweeter.

Right after eating ice cream there, I went to Ice Cream Lab and I think I prefer this place over Sprinkles Ice Cream.

I hate those wooden forks. I don't know why but the wood freaks me out. Maybe I got one too many splinters as a kid. Ds likes his own cupcake. He wouldn't like not having the icing part and I wouldn't want him having any extra sugar. He'd probably eat it if I offered.

They just give me a kind of dizzy and funny. Idk how to explain it. Some coffee drinks from panera do that too and I'm fine with starbucks.

I've just always thought it was weird I always get it with panera drinks and never had one with starbucks. I wonder what does it? I eat a lot of sweets and it's just certain stuff that does that to me.

You want to hear an awesome toothpick story? Many years ago we ordered takeout from the deli at work. I got a club sandwich and didn't realize there was a broken toothpick in the middle. Bit down and the point went RIGHT behind and in between my two front teeth... blood everywurr

Now I'm more freaked about putting wood in my mouth laugh out loud!

It's got a weird texture too. I know I'm being weird but that's me.

What's ridiculous is how much things cost here. When people can fly to Europe & have an operation cheaper than having it at home in the US, there's a problem.

i know.. it's really ridiculous how much things cost here. it's also ridiculous that very often, they can't disclose how much things cost beforehand, so you're pretty much in the dark until after you opt to do a procedure. i really really really hate the medical bureaucracy here... i think it's BS and needs to be scrapped completely. but anyway...
Quote from GoHeels :
I know we only have a few from the Southeast here. Anyone else lurking?

DH & I are in the process of planning our anniversary getaway. After taking a long vacation last Oct., we're most likely booking 5 nights this time. At the moment, we have a Walt Disney World trip booked, but we're tossing around other ideas. He liked the idea of going to Vegas. Two days would be travel days, so I don't think we have enough time. IMO, we need to have at least a week to make the flights worth it. He also said Myrtle Beach, but it would be too cold for me in Oct. Plus, it's pretty spread out for our preferred way of traveling. We also checked Key West, but our anniversary falls in the week they have their Fan Fest (think Mardi Gras).

We're looking for short travel time from Tampa & a destination where we can walk, take public transit, or a cheap taxi ride everywhere we want to go. No driving on vacation. Nono1 It must be in the US. I don't want to deal with customs, etc. for a short trip. We like nice hotels & excellent food. Other than that, we'll find something to do. Stick Out Tongue Ideas anyone? Please
you can totally do vegas with 3 whole days... but there is a lot of walking involved. you can take short cab rides everywhere, but you walk a lot around each hotel/casino bc they're just that big. i'm not sure how much walking you can do... that's just a warning. but otherwise, there are nice hotels, easy cabs and some shuttles you can take between hotels.

red has a good suggestion - PR is probably much better. though i'm not sure about the transportation aspect as i've never been there. it's somewhat "domestic" though, being a US territory. (i never knew until i was sending out wedding invitations that you can actually send mail there using a regular stamp! i know... silly of me)

smilies - you can cheat and use the popup until you get used to them again... it won't take long i'm sure. Smilie

apps - yes, there are pricey android apps as well. but i think as a community apple users have been built to expect to pay for things and are less shocked when they have to. it's not just apps... like porda mentions i would throw a hissy fit if i had to pay for a software update. or if i had to pay $29 for a charger or a sim card ejector (like, seriously? i got one for free with my nexus 4). it's ok - you can just say it. i'm cheap. Big Grin

yay for the cooking! i still make your crock pot italian sausage stew once in awhile... it's saved in my recipes pile for eternity! i love it for a hearty easy meal in the winter! and can't believe you quit WoW... EEK!

interesting... i like wooden forks. but being chinese, i am also using wooden disposable chopsticks almost daily... splinters don't scare me!

perhaps it's the sugar... sugar in drinks always gets me super hyper.

Giiiiirl I rarely pay for apps and I have dozens! This was definitely an exception. Trust me, I'm cheap too Woot

And yeah, I quit WoW on 12/14/12... shit went down with the guild I was in charge of and I was heartbroken. But honestly, I haven't missed it. It was like a part-time job!

Now I get to play other games woot
