Found out a couple friends are in Puerto Vallarta (with a bunch of their friends) right now. Scary, though one of them posted on FB that they're OK for now, as of a few hours ago. Having vacationed there many times it just scares me a little, like, I don't know WTF I would do if there were a huge hurricane coming and the flights were canceled! Especially if I'm not staying in a hotel, and am at a condo or something instead? Yes, it's a much rougher time for those people who live there, and whose homes may be destroyed and will have to choose to stay there or go, if there's devastation after, and months of rebuilding. Totally worse for them. But in the moment...they speak Spanish. They maybe have a car and can evacuate, or know when/where busses run and can at least try to get a ticket. I wouldn't.

I'm eating oysters right now!
You oyster loving people are strange. t nothing from the sea
Oysters chopped up, breaded, and baked with mushrooms and cheese or herb seasoning are great. I wouldn't eat raw oysters unless I were literally starving.
FRANK???
Jesse wins!
It's nice, but part of me is like why put me through it in the first place?
Right? I have my suspicions, and they don't reflect well on the higher-ups is all I'll say.
Oysters Rockefeller are delicious, but I've had less luck with raw oysters for some reason. Although when I had them crazy fresh, just harvested off the Pacific coast in the San Juan Islands? Delicious.
Congrats, Maria! Hope you have a relaxing and wonderful weekend.
I'm exhausted. As per usual. Again.
Found out a couple friends are in Puerto Vallarta (with a bunch of their friends) right now.
A high school friend of mine is there too. Hoping he is okay.
Completely unrelatedly, now I want oysters.
The hurricane situation is terrifying.
msbelle, are you flooding? The news looked bad.
I wish I had oysters.
I didn't know off the top of my head, and the paperwork is all at home, but I was able to find the answer in one of the old Natter threads. Yay old Natter threads.
Love that.
I fear there's been some upheaval that is not in my favor.
That all...does not sound great.
Congratulations, Maria! That is AWESOME news!
As for weekend plans, I am doing absolutely jack shit, and that is exactly the kind of weekend I need.
we are under flash flood alerts. I am not in low ground so not worried.
Raining for 2 days though, so yeah some areas are bad. Over where my parents live has a lot of low-road areas and a friend's husband hydroplaned off the road just after midnight.
