Fortune Cookie Stuffer on Vacation

In Reply to: Had Chinese takeout - my fortune cookie was empty - Renee
I've been reading on CNN that in China they have many millions of migrant workers trying to get back home for the Lunar New Year. China has had the worst snow in over 50 years for about a week. They have so many people stranded that they finally came to the conclusion travel would not be advised! They figure this disruption of the country has cost them $7.5 billion! Looks like your fortune cookie stuffer is stranded on vacation now.

Had Chinese takeout - my fortune cookie was empty
 And my husband is trying to tell me that means I already have everything.
Hmmm......
She's a very spoiled little girl, who is going to inherit millions from the Hilton Hotel fortune
and from her father's real estate fortune. She basically jumped into the limelight when her little personal homemade sex video was leaked out. She is described as a "socialite, actress, and singer." She likes to party hard and doesn't want to pay or take any responsibility for her own irresponsible actions, such as driving with a suspended license, DUI, you get the picture.

Cookie frosting
When I read your post I thought of the black and white cookies, the frosting you described is very much that consistency, IMO. Here is a link to that recipe. You may want to make a few of these too. Yum..

She is one smart cookie
You can't fool her! I'm glad she's eating. That is always a good sign. Hope you both have a good day.
What is a Lofthouse cookie?
Pardon my ignorance.
I have no cookie self-control!
I used to bake piles and piles of cookies, gave lots away, too, but far too many went right into ME. One Christmas, I gained 10 pounds before the New Year! TEN POUNDS! Added to the other 50 I had gained over the years, and I was just disgusted. I tried not to eat the things, but I could not stop. So now, for the sake of my health, I don't bake cookies unless I'm headed out that same day to someone's house. I make my DH stand over me as the cookies come out of the oven, pack them up and put them into the car.
It sounds ridiculous, but I really can't stop myself!

Cookie rules
Here, we eat the dough too, and of the ones who make it to the baking stage are carefully inspected when they are removed from the oven because our rule is that we get to eat all the "cripples", you know the ones that are crooked or missing a leg or part of Santa's hat, or the tip of a star. If we don't have enough one of us always gets the spatula and cripples a few more so we can eat! Frosting day is another story altogether. By the time we are finished we usually have just a modest amount of cream cheese cutouts left and the same amount of gingerbread. We all need a diet by that time. Then, there is always "bread baking day" - so many baking days, so little self-control.
So, where's those cookie recipes?
Go ahead flood the board with cookie recipes. I can handle it.. I can bake every one of them, while I am listening to one dictator flip pages, and the other pausing..c'mon give me whatcha got. But seriously, I need some new ideas for the kids because pop n fresh dough holiday cookie cut outs. PS: See, I am finally getting in the holiday spirit.
I vote for Cookie Castle nm

smart cookie on the waiting....and remember some
some states honor common-law marriages - living together as a couple for 7+ years - and there are laws protecting the spousal unit in those cases...don't know what state you are in....but think about that....*S*
When in doubt, do nothing :)
Cookie Jar Delites gets my vote Good luck! nm

Along the cookie line, have you baked anything new this year? Good enough

I've decided to start a cookie business! Anyone up for helping me out with a name?
I know with the economy and all, it's probably not a good time to open a new business, but I've been thinking about this for years and just want to do it anyway and very happy and excited about it!
So, some words I've been playing around with are yummy, goodies, goodness, sweets, comfort, cookies ... but nothing is really grabbing me. I've even tried to think of ideas without those type of words above, such as "Big D's" or whatever.
If anyone has any good ideas, I'd love to hear them!
My vacation and yours?
I am this year planning on taking myself out to the wild west visiting Yellowstone, Montana, Wyoming and the like. My family does not like to travel so this year, as last when I went to Alaska, I will be traveling by myself there only to meet up with a tour and it is loads of fun! Hopefully as in Alaska there will be not only the beautiful scenery but also loads of animals. I am in 7th heaven just drooling about this all. Everything planned out for you, all you have to do is pay your money and meet up with their start point. Could not be easier... I will send you postcards!
vacation
If you haven't seen your brother and family for years, I say go for the pricier condo with more room. The last thing you want is to be on top of each other, getting on each other's nerves. 8 days can be a long time! Go for it and celebrate spending time with your loved ones. After all, it's just money!
Vacation
My kids start back to school this month.
Why did you vacation with them?
And why did SIL agree to vacation with you? If I had a family member who did not like me or vice versa, no way would I spend the time or money to vacation with them. I find your brother to be at fault also. If you two are so close, why did he not speak to wife and especially daughters and tell them to act civilly at least for the one week? He is the parent too, and to allow them to behave like that, especially to his sister, is wrong.
Vacation
When you have plenty of time you should continue where Skyline Drive changes into the Blue Ridge parkway and goes down into North Carolina. The spring or fall would be the best times. There are miles and miles of beautiful mountains. The highest mountains are at the lower part of the Blue Ridge parkway. Some things you could see along the way would be the Mabry Mill, Biltmore House at Asheville, and the viaduct.
You need a vacation.

at least you got a vacation!!

Vacation? What's that
Oh yes, that's what you take when you don't owe the IRS thousands in dollars because they didn't take out enough last year and this year your taxes double (and I had a hard enough time surviving on what was left after sending in taxes last year).
A vacation isn't a vacation when
Your in-laws wake up at 6:00 a.m. when you want to sleep till 9:00.
Your houseguest mistakes your guest room for a hotel with maid service.
Your hostess has a Doberman with an anal gland issue.
I'm with you - give me a hotel!!!!
You took the gnome on vacation? lol
Getting a kick out of this thread! Thanks ladies. lol
According to my vacation planner
where I go Wyoming, Utah and the like is west, leaving from Denver-have been to California but am sure will enjoy wherever it is. Going solo, my family do not want to join me in my vacations. Oh well, I will send them a postcard.
Florida vacation
There are several things to consider when planning your vacation to the theme parks: If you stay in Kissimmee you'll have to drive to the parks. There has been a lot of road construction on southwest side or Orlando. I don't know if it's completed or not. The hotels associated with the parks have a lot of extras for the kids so you can relax while they watch movies in the pool, ect. The rooms are often suites with murals and fun beds for the kids. There are some that are close to the parks, with shuttles, that might be a bit more affordable than the big ones on the parks. While you certainly have to go to the Magic Kingdom, especially for the younger kids, if you love the big rides Universal's Islands of Adventure is a must too. Our kids are into the bigger thrill rides so they prefer Universal. There's also a nice area for the younger kids at Islands of Adventure that has a Dr Suess theme. October will still be hot down here, but if you want to take a day trip over to the beach it's best to come before December. December temperatures are typically fall-like, but it can get down into the 40s on occasion.
I would never vacation in Mexico
They are sucking the blood out of this country. They come here by the thousands everyday because people like you will hire them.
They pop out babies every year at the American taxpayer's expense, and then we pay for their health care and education.
They sneak into this country, keep wages down, crime and the birth rate up, overcrowd our schools and our jails, then have the nerve to march in our streets and DEMAND citizenship.
On their side, they do not respect our laws, will not extradite criminals wanted in the U.S.
I would never give them one penny of my vacation money. They are NICE to you when you are there because they want your money.
OP says nothing about vacation just camping.

Please Please enjoy your vacation. sm
I just went on vacation with my family and had something (nothing compared to your worry) that I just had to put on the back burner and enjoy every second I possibly could. I hope you have faith, because God does not give us anything that we truely can not handle. I will pray that your worries are unfounded. You have been given some wonderful advice above and just believe in that. Happy vacationing.
vacation from husband
Don't divorce him, it's a hard life out here without a husband and there's no prince charming to ride up and save you from being destitute. Doesn't matter if you love him, if you don't like to do the same things, just do your own thing and let him pick up your bills. Don't even really have to like him, just tolerate him. I had one who made 75k+ and paid all the bills, my money was just that, my money, and now I'm supporting myself and my older sister and cranking it out for this bloody bonus.
Take a cruise or go on a vacation by yourself (sm)
give him a taste of what it is like without you there! And if he doesn't change - then leave. Even if you just leave temporarily....
Vacation ideas
Am looking for somewhere not real expensive but interesting, with either malls or shopping areas, for my daughter and myself to travel to on vacation, distance does not really matter - have been to Mall of America and the Sawgrass Mills in Florida, looking for something similiar, - any suggestions would be appreciated.
Vegas Vacation
"haven't seen a beatin' like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose."
I'm on vacation this week, so ...
brought some movies along to catch up on. I watched 27 Dresses, which was just okay. I loved PS I Love You. Also been watching The Office with my sister and DS, and Emergency!, which aren't exactly movies, but lots of fun. It's been a great week with my family. Almost hate going back to work on Monday!
Jamaican vacation
...anyone planning on going to Jamaica to Couples Negril - save your money. My fiance and I returned from there after 2 weeks vacation. We frequently visited the "Couples" message boards and were very excited to go. Now I find out that they only allow "positive" postings about their resorts. If we had known the truth, we could have saved a few thousand dollars. In a nutshell - bad service, chunks of glass on the beach, employees mocking visitors (although if you don't speak the lingo you wouldn't know this) and "get your own drink because I can't get a tip" attitude. We were thinking about planning our wedding there but have changed our minds. The mgmt. hoards all tips and the employees never see the "pool" of tips that they "allow" vacationers to give.
For my vacation I have a lady
who comes over once a day to feed and water my 3 cats. I would rather have them here at home where they are comfortable than leaving and going to be caged up while I am gone. This is on trips hubby and I take. On trips I made alone hubby is here every other day and he gives extra food and water in between the days he is home. Of course he always gets calls most every day wanting to know how they ate, did they have their "treats," etc. They give me so much pleasure and I want them to have the necessities (and a few treats, their toys, etc., etc.)
Summer Vacation
We plan on going to either the Jersey Shore or Maine for a week this Summer. I've never been to either place even though we live in NY State and it's within a reasonable driving distance. Also, my daughter's friend is visiting from Florida, and we'll also take a lot of day trips that week to keep her entertained.
Wanting a vacation now
My husband never wanted to go on any vacations. So, when the kids were young, my kids and I went on a vacation every year. We either drove or one time took the train to the Grand Canyon from Chicago. Not once did my husband go with us. We went twice to Disney and had such a wonderful time. My kids are now grown, and I really miss those vacations. My husband missed out a lot.
vacation blues
We are going on vacation tomorrow - to the beach. Internet says it is 10 hours 15 minutes to get there. I have been there many times and with the normal amount of stops, it takes about 12 hours. Problem: Hotel we booked with (small hotel, oceanfront) called today saying their office closes at 6:00 p.m. on Tues. If we will not be there by then, we will need to make other arrangements to get our keys - so I say okay, we probably won't be there until about 7:00. She says she will leave our keys OUTSIDE UNDER the newspaper machine. Does this sound like a good idea??? I don't know what other recourse I have besides trying to get a room in another hotel once I get there. I have stayed at this hotel many times in the past and never had a problem but have not been there for probably 10 years. What would you do? By the way, my fiance is flipping out about it.
Yeah! Took it on vacation and took pictures of it
had him sitting on the 2nd balcony railing and went down to take a picture and laugh at ourselves (of course) and SPLAT! He hit the floor!! Too bad we couldn't get a picture of OUR faces!! All the OOOHHH NOOOO looks!
We've enjoyed our little gnome, as ugly as he is with his duct-taped head!! LOL
He's still a member of the family and has his little photo album complete with sticky-note messages on the pictures proudly displayed in the back den! LOL
In the past, great vacation
I have been to several Club Meds, started out in Eluthra in the Bahamas, then Cancun about 3 times, Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Ixtapa in Mexico, Playa Blanca in Mexico and then the last trip my daughter and I took was to Turks and Caicos. You can see, I really loved Club Med at one time when children or just my daughter and I traveled together. I loved the fact that all you had to do was get your suitcase there and from then on your trip all paid for. Now having said that, I feel now Club Med is overpriced for the deals you can get now days. At one time the all inclusive was Club Med and now so many others have the same to offer at lower prices. The last time I was in Cancun I was very disappointed in the food, not like I had been all the other times. I had a wonderful time for those years I did go, though.
Florida vacation spots
My favorite spot is Santa Rosa Island just on the other side of Pensacola, FL. Although was run out twice due to hurricanes (10 years apart exactly) but was on the last night of vacation. I can also recommend the Iberostar resorts in Mexico - Carmen Del Playa and Cozumel for family - Cancun is more for the young adults/adults. It was actually less to go to Mexico than Florida with an all-inclusive package.
when I vacation in Mexico, I never find
the people there to be anything but absolutely wonderful, nice, giving, assistive. I love going there and have never thought I was hated, in fact the other way around. I have let people work here at my home and they might be legal and might not have- having said that they will work a lot harder than most I know and no whining, no this and that, no sitting down when there is something to be done and whatever the job is usually pay $10 per hour and then a tip if the work is good.
It's not a vacation if you're still working! :) nm

Did you live in Hawaii or vacation there?
Nothing short of a miracle would have to happen in order for me to ever see Hawaii--is it as beautiful as it looks on television? I just imagine it smelling like saltwater, orchids, moss, and Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion. Lucky you to know what it's like! I'm jealous!
