I can usually describe everything about that word, even synonyms, but have difficulty finding the one I'm thinking of.

I've just accepted it, and it's become almost humorous to me, now - so I haven't bothered looking it up further than the one time I got super obsessed with it.

Maddy loved it until the episode where Mary Poppins was killed then she had nightmares for a week and we had to cut her off.

Oh, and sorry for the massive off-topic.

No, I don't have aphasia. One problem with typing almost as fast as I can think is that nothing slows me down once I get going and sometimes my fingers and brain get out of synch (I'm really big on homophones too; I've come up with some doozies).

But the worst ones I just blame on an undiagnosed stroke.

Great pics, GC, great pics. Thanks for sharing and reporting. Maybe I will have to meet you for lunch some day soon and you can take me there

I just found out about the one in Orlando on the news here. I missed the photos, but googled it and found this link: http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2...kwikemart.html

It sounds like it's near Disney.

Lake Beuna Vista

I looked it up so I can make an adventure over that way at some point.

Eventually I want to pick up a few souvenirs, but I had to stop yesterday and at least get a blue Squishee. MmmmmmmmSquisheeeeeee....

ooooh, there's a Kwik-E-Mart just a few miles from me at Venice and Sepulveda. My ex was there on opening day (she lives a few blocks away) and said it was a mad house. No place to park, if she hadn't been able to walk. Great reviews from her, too, though.

zapp and I are going to hit it 4th of July (early, we hope). He'll be in heaven.

I went there with LoT-ter skinnylycan last week it was totally fun!!!! I mean, it was just like a 5 minute stop off but I am so glad we did it, it was an attraction just 10 minutes from my house. They didn't have a lot of the merch that day that GC was able to get, but I did get some sickly sweet pink donuts and a squishee!

I still have not gone

I found this list of 101 Greatest Simpsons Quotes that seemed appropriate for this thread. I know many of us will disagree with the author's choices and have many other lines to add.
