Your choices would be limited in Albuquerque.

I guess it's good I have no plans to go to that area.

Although, really, I don't eat out much anyway.

There are a lot of Mexican/southwestern/New Mexico cuisine restaurants here, but we really do have a wide variety. I would guess there are as many Asian restaurants as Mexican ones plus we have all the usual chains: Applebees, Chilis, Pappadeaux, Olive Garden et al, and some good steak houses, barbque places, local Italian, etc.

But almost all of our Mexican/southwestern cuisine is the real deal, very different from the Texmex style that is more common in most of 'gringo' country.

When I lived in Albuquerque, there were 2 Taco Bells in town, which I found rather ridiculous.

There are probably more than that now. We still prefer their tacos to all others and I love their little cinnamon crispy thingees for a quick junk food dessert.

I'm addicted to their chalupas, but the whole idea seemed absurd to me when there were so many great authentic Mexican restaurants.

But not many with a convenient drive up window or fast counter service when you want a sack of tacos to take home and watch the game.

Well, I just got a call from my Ma and she said she just got a call from my older sister in Montana, and my brother is in an ambulance headed for Butte with a blood clot near his heart. Now we're all on pins and needles waiting for an update because that can kill you in an instant, and here I was planning on going out there on the 2nd for a couple weeks. I hope I'm not going to a funeral. My brother in law is a good guy.

Sending positive thoughts your way.

Terrible news. I hope everything goes well.

Everybody is talking about favorite pets that have passed on so I will tell you about Fluffy. When I was 5 years old I had a little white fluffy haired dog that was named Fluffy because that is what he was. He looked like a small bale of cotton that had a couple of busted bands. One day when my Dad was backing the car out of the garage he ran over Fluffy with the car and the accident killed him instantly. I went wild crying and laying on the floor over come with grief. My Dad, being the wise man that he was, took Fluffy down to the local Taxidermist and had him stuffed in a standing position. He then put wheels on the bottom of his paws and tied a string to his collar. I used him for a pull toy for about 3 years until I outgrew him.

Your dad probably felt horrible about it too.

Some people prefer their imitation Mexican food. Lol. I feel that way about Chinese food. I know what I eat at the Chinese restaurant isn't "authentic" but I sure like it anyways!

Good Thursday morning!

Seeing how I almost never want a sack of taccos, that's fine with me. I'm more of a chili rellanos (green) kind of guy.

Best wishes for your brother, 007. Hopefully they are able to remove the clot safely.

Oh gosh 007. I just now saw this or your brother in law would have been on the vigil list last night. He certainly is there now.

Best wishes for a good outcome, 007. Bless you man. Hope all turns out well.

In the Flame Zone they are discussing dreams and here, people are recounting pet stories. Well, I can mix the two.

I don't dream often about my husband (at least not that I remember) but he has showed up on two dreams that I really remember, accompanied by pets we had together that are no longer living. One was a dog, and the most recent one was a pet rat, if you can believe it. I enjoy those dreams. During the dream, I don't necessarily feel like it's anything special, but when I wake up, I feel like I didn't get enough dream to suit me.

Don't know if you believe in it or not, but your husband and your pets communicated with you just to let you know they are still with you. Karma jumps on my bed every night to sleep with me. I feel the bed jiggle and it only happens when I am between awake and asleep..that one milisecond before dropping off. WIGGLE. Its karma. And I still make room for her next to me and pat the mattress telling her its night night sleepy time and that I love her. And she comes just as she always did.

Honestly, I don't know if I believe it or not, but I like those dreams. So, even if it's my brain playing games with memory, I am grateful for it.

I regularly have long and complicated dreams, but I soon forget them when I wake up.

I recently had a dream in which I had to get the little one out of a house because an alien (from the Alien franchise movies) was after us, and another one where a green, squid-like creature made of some sort of gummi candy was trying to suffocate me, and I had to start eating it to survive. Both dreams took place in my father's old house, the last place I lived with him before moving out.

Who wants to try to interpret them? Ready, go!

Prayers for him ,from me and hubby.
They have gotten pretty good at managing those blood clots in the last 30 years.

 

[peach174]

Hubby and one of his best buddies went to Tucson for his check up on his surgery last week.
He gets the bandage taken off today.
I stayed here ,because UPS is coming to the house today ,to pick up the Zoll Life Vest.

We're still waiting for an update from MT. We've decided not to bug my sister and just wait to hear something. I guess no news could be good news, because if he'd passed away I'm sure we'd have heard about it by now.

Hmmm. Doesn't ring any bells at all Montro. Sorry. Unless you ate something weird watching a sci fi movie just before bedtime.
