Are you SURE you're not still cheering for Omaha Dude, Carvers?! You're killing me over here!

I have very strong feelings about birthday cake. My birthday is on a holiday and my cake fell by the wayside about half the time. I have spent years trying to successfully send them to my out of state college son, with mixed results. Last year's, he said uh, Mom, I think maybe it shifted a little in shipping, but don't feel bad, it still tasted good. I think this is polite child for it was a crumbled sticky mess.

My birthday is the end of March, so it's usually around Easter. In first grade, my mom made birds eggs nests (kind of like Rice Krispie treats, but with shredded wheat instead, and jelly beans as the eggs) to take to school for my birthday (birthday kids would always brings treats for everyone). We did it every year since. Still to this day she sends me a batch for my birthday. It's pretty awesome.

Twin City peeps Triple rock social club 629 Cedar Ave. Minneapolis, how sketch is the neighborhood? Looking at going to a concert there. Thanks for any help you can give.
There's worse neighborhoods. The streets twist and turn a bit so listen to whatever you use for directions closely.

Light in my fridge just blew out


Just replaced my beer fridge one with an LED. "Oh, I won't have to worry about this for 20 years? Yes please!" Although, one might argue that my beer fridge light gets higher than the typical usage....

Oh, and I stocked up on LED bulbs that were on sale at Costco. 3 packs for $9. Saw a lady in the next checkout lane buying CFL's, and I was like "SUCKER!"

I've been to triple rock, a little sketch but not bad. What band?

Gin Wigmore, NZ gal, I like the way she sings, some of her songs have been in commercials home depot and Kiwi air if I remember right.

Nope.



He needs to provide real cake. He doesn't have to make it himself. I know his mother would expect no less.



Now I feel like making Whaler's Vanille Rum Cake. :spinny:

Pants, Not sure what this is but I think you should ask Carvers for the recipe it sounds really good. This could be a brownie point thing. Yes your in a relationship thing now Brownie points MATTER.

Thanks for the help all on the Twin Cities thing. Also 55 whens the B-day (hope it's winter so you can enjoy the weather change.)

Went to look her up on spotify and realized I already had one of her songs on a playlist. I dig her voice as well.

Birthday is October 11th, so right when it's starting to get cold. Last year I went to Tampa to see family, I was sweating when I flew out and came back to windy and upper 40s (if that).

Well that baseball game I won box seats for is today. Still don't have anyone to go with. Guess I'll enjoy it alone unless I can find someone at work today.

Debating doing the whole plasma thing so I can get back to flying a little bit. That needle still makes me squirm though.

These hawk fans train their girls up early in the game. Waiting for swim lessons to start and this 3-4YO girl runs a few feet from her mom and starts dancing. Hollers "I'm a beach girl, shakin' my butt."

Mom looked up from her tablet just long enough to yell at her to stop.
