21. It's just so koool!
I'll loan you the 'tatas! I never realized you're a southern gal! And from MS. I'm originally from Ft. Lauderdale (both parents from KY), we moved to LA (lower AL) when I was in HS, I went to college in Pensacola, moved to B'ham, married a cajun from NOLA...we love to vacation in Biloxi (Beau Riviage, we always managed a corner room at cut-rate) and Pass Christian (such a gorgeous town).

23. We do too, Orange Beach! In the off season!
We get a 1 br. condo at the Phoenix East (approx. $90 per night)! Prices are great! and then we cross the FL bridge over to eat @ McGuires in Pensacola (I lived there for about 7 years), and we've frequented a wonderful bluegrass act @ Interrarity Point for years...and we're 10 minutes from the Flora-Bama, which is infamous! We love it!

Next time you plan to go, let me know...We'll meet you there!

25. That would be fun! We have stayed at the Pheonix also.
We usually get the penthouse only because we usually go with a large group. But I have decided not to do that anymore because then we are on everyone elses schedule!

And I have been to Flora-bama!!

33. Flora-Bama and frozen bushwackers!
Oh, I busted my butt in their parking lot back in January, and I wasn't even drunk. However, I was sneaking a bushwacker out in my purse...well, it was disastrous for my purse! And I still have a small strawberry bruise on my hip...but I wear it as a badge of...well, as a badge of something...

18. Sure!
Slice your squash (I use about 4 to 6 squashes)
Cut up some onion and simmer it with the squash with salt & pepper in a saucepan (add some water, not too much though, you can add some more if you think you need it). When it is tender, drain it. I salt and pepper it a little more. Return it to the saucepan and add about 4-5 tbs. of butter. Then add 1 cup crushed crackers ( I use ritz, but you can use saltines). Stir it up, put into casserole dish. Pour 1/2 cup of milk onto mixture then top with a cup of shredded cheese and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes!! Enjoy!

19. Thanks for that recipe!
That sounds great, and I'll probably make it this week. Might try it with some type of small pasta or rice mixed in too. :o

30. I love egg salad sandwiches.
I never make egg salad because I don't really have a good recipe, but there is a sandwich shop (Swinsen's) that makes a yummy one!

Is she drinking fluids? Or at least trying to? I remember once I had to drink a tbs. of Sprite every 20 min. because I was dehydrated but couldn't keep anything down. It sucked because I was so thirsty I wanted to down the Sprite. IT didn't stay down anyway. :hug:

31. I am giving her Sprite, and she just ate some plain brown rice
a few minutes ago. Fingers crossed. I really worry about dehydration. I think I'm going to get some Pedialyte tomorrow. I can't believe I'm going to give that to a 17 year old, but any port in a storm. :hug:
