Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi Group, I'm currently in Austintown, OH. This is the first place since I've left Idaho that I've been able to get internet access. Remember that BK Veggie Burger debate we had some months back? I have yet another reason to not eat them - they taste disgusting. I get to the Econolodge here which I booked specifically because they advertised that they accept pets. When I arrive at the front desk I see a sign that says " Pets Accepted!!! (Dogs only, no cats.) " I really didn't feel like driving around Ohio trying to find a place that would take my two cats, so I just didn't say anything and sneaked them into my room. I didn't want to leave them for very long for fear they'd make lots of noise or tear the room up (they're not travelling well) and I couldn't find any place that would deliver food to the motel and the only place close by was a Burger King, so I ordered a veggie burger with no mayo. The half that I couldn't eat is now sitting in the garbage - it was completey foul. And I was really hungry. Are there any Mid-Westerners here? Why do you people get on the freeway doing 45 mph even when there's a nice, big, long on-ramp? I'm expecting to be in Connecticut tomorrow. I have orientation Monday evening and will be looking for a studio apartment I can afford, although I probaby won't have enough money to make a deposit until Wednesday. Will check in soon.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi anna, when my husband (then boyfriend) and I drove from NY to CA, we were on the road for six days straight. we had a really hard time finding foods. We would go into a regular restaurant and order spagethi with tomato sauce and green salad. This was what we would eat often. Then we would go into any supermarket load up on non-perishables and eat PB & J sandwiches with a good fruit juice for breakfast. When you are on the road.. You get creative, specially in the middle of nowhere. We also brought along a Plug-In cooker and in the hotels we would plug the cooker in and we would eat a lot of vegetable soups that way in the hotel and save on ordering. If your going to buy a Plug-In cooker, make sure you bring a can opener for the soups and fork and spoon. We would wash these before leaving the hotel. In case of emergency, I think that the folks at Pizza Hut can make you a cheeseless pizza, and although I wouldn't support Taco Bell company, In case of an emergency.I believe that you can order a cheeseless bean burrito. Mostly we looked for Mexican restaurants(for rice and bean burritos) and Italian restaurants ( for the meatless spaguetti). -anouk - snakewoman327 8/20/2005 7:48:38 PM hello from ohio Hi Group,I'm currently in Austintown, OH.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hello Anna, Thanks for the warning on the BK veggiburger - I will avoid them. As to the hotel thing, well, I have dogs, but when I traveled I had 3 with me so I had to call ahead and ensure they would accept the dogs. That is hard with they were 17 lbs, 45 lbs, and 75 lbs. Good luck on finding a place, more and more do not like pets. As to the 45 on-ramp thing, well it seems to be everywhere. I don't understand either why anyone would drive so slow getting onto 65+ mph traffic. Just watch out for it and be careful. Good luck on the rest of your trip.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Are the beans at taco vegetarian? I know some places add meat products to their beans.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 depends at the place you go.. taco bell was testin a varient of the olestra stripped fat a number of years ago, but have no idea wot become of it..it was animal based pizza hut is not vegan...even without cheese....the pizza sauce has cheese solids and i think whey, and their dipping sauces have *natural flavors*(read beef ), and their zesty sauce has chicken fat got to a real mexican restuarant and just ask... most places out here stopped using lard and switched to vegetable oils....

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Try owning a pitbull! We have two dogs now, both rescues. One is a Walker Hound and she has the face of an angel and the disposition of an alligator with pms! Everyone thinks she is sooooo sweet. Well, until they get within a block of her <g> She came from a drug house and they were feeding mom drugs and it got into the pups via mom's milk. son #3 brought her home and she had rubber bones. We saved her but didn't think she would survive so we named her Tuff Enuf Mugwump. Our other dog is Hurricane Cali, a sable pitbull. Of course, everyone is afraid of her and she is the sweetest dog in the world. Another rescue and she has the genetic problems that come with some pits plus she was literally run over by two cars when she was about 3 months old. They both babysit our rescue cat (he's going to be 13 this Halloween) who is tiny, old and crippled. He's a semi-long haired little guy named Boo. I don't like to put anyone in a kennel, so we haven't been traveling much the last few years. With the current price of fuel, I figure it won't be long before we can pick up a motorhome of some name for peanuts and then we'll be back on the road doing the living history thing with the kidlet.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 People just don't get it! If animals are raised with respect, then they are just as traumatized and a little human would be if you lock them up. As to the college, well, hmmmm, ya need to get used to it cause it is SOP! I've worked in colleges and won some scholarships and even though they were 100% it just wasn't worth having to put up with the aggravation! They have a mantra, " my way or the highway " and heaven help you if you are capable of independent and logical thought processing!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah, you'ld think that,wouldn't you (that many restaurants have switched to vegetable oils)? Especially in an area as large as our Valley. I'm repeatedly frustrated that I'm lied to by so many servers too. One Itallian place swore over and over that they used Olive Oil on their bread, but someone recently admited to me that wasn't the case, it's butter.

Jonnie Hellens Aug 21, 2005 11:50 AM RE: hello from ohio Are the beans at taco vegetarian? I know some places add meat products to their beans. I really miss mexican, but a lot of places add bacon fat, or lard or whatever."zurumato" <zurumato wrote: Hi anna, when my husband (then boyfriend) and I drove from NY to CA, we were on the road for six days straight. we had a really hard time finding foods. We would go into a regular restaurant and order spagethi with tomato sauce and green salad. This was what we would eat often. Then we would go into any supermarket load up on non-perishables and eat PB & J sandwiches with a good fruit juice for breakfast. When you are on the road.. You get creative, specially in the middle of nowhere. We also brought along a Plug-In cooker and in the hotels we would plug the cooker in and we would eat a lot of vegetable soups that way in the hotel and save on ordering. If your going to buy a Plug-In cooker, make sure you bring a can opener for the soups and fork and spoon. We would wash these before leaving the hotel. In case of emergency, I think that the folks at Pizza Hut can make you a cheeseless pizza, and although I wouldn't support Taco Bell company, In case of an emergency.I believe that you can order a cheeseless bean burrito. Mostly we looked for Mexican restaurants(for rice and bean burritos) and Italian restaurants ( for the meatless spaguetti). -anouk - snakewoman327 8/20/2005 7:48:38 PM hello from ohio Hi Group,I'm currently in Austintown, OH. This is the first place since I've left Idaho that I've been able to get internet access.Remember that BK Veggie Burger debate we had some months back? I have yet another reason to not eat them - they taste disgusting. I get to the Econolodge here which I booked specifically because they advertised that they accept pets. When I arrive at the front desk I see a sign that says "Pets Accepted!!! (Dogs only, no cats.)" I really didn't feel like driving around Ohio trying to find a place that would take my two cats, so I just didn't say anything and sneaked them into my room. I didn't want to leave them for very long for fear they'd make lots of noise or tear the room up (they're not travelling well) and I couldn't find any place that would deliver food to the motel and the only place close by was a Burger King, so I ordered a veggie burger with no mayo. The half that I couldn't eat is now sitting in the garbage - it was completey foul. And I was really hungry.Are there any Mid-Westerners here? Why do you people get on the freeway doing 45 mph even when there's a nice, big, long on-ramp?I'm expecting to be in Connecticut tomorrow. I have orientation Monday evening and will be looking for a studio apartment I can afford, although I probaby won't have enough money to make a deposit until Wednesday.Will check in soon.Love,Anna Jonnie To send an email to - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I mailed my intent to enroll form by overnight mail on June 29 - my financial aid application wasn't processed until August 15. And yes, I filed my FAFSA by the deadline. The people I've dealt with in the financial aid office have been extremely rude and completely incompetent. Classes start this Monday and I wasn't able to register until yesterday - half of the classes I needed to register for were filled. I had to pick up an unnecessary elective just to maintain my full-time status. I e-mailed the director of the financial aid office and he came off like I was the one who screwed up. I had a similar experience with the bursar's office. I don't remember dealing with administration being this hard. And I don't get my disbursement until October at the earliest! I'm not sure how I'm supposed to pay for books or cover rent until I find a job without that money. Love, Anna , " Lynda " <lurine@s...> wrote: > People just don't get it!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Besides p.s. not preparing kids for college, I think a lot of the colleg dropout problem is because of the staff. Well, and some of the profs! I swear, I never did finish because I couldn't find a prof for the one history that I needed that didn't literally put me to sleep! Boring doesn't describe it and I LOVE history! Hang in there! BTW, they do have a means of doing an advance, not that they'll tell you that! They do have emergency grant money!
