GAINESVILLE -- It's time to really separate the pretenders from contenders as the first round of the high school football playoffs get under way Friday night around the state.
And there are plenty of intriguing matchups around northeast Georgia, including two in Class AAAAA in Hall County that could be pitfalls for the home teams.
Gainesville, the No. 1 seed from Region 8-AAAAA and defending Class AAAAA state champion, will begin its title defense and play host to M.L. King, which is anything but a typical No. 4 seed. Speed will be all over the field for both squads and the Red Elephants will need more than just No. 4 (Deshaun Watson) to get past the first round.
Flowery Branch, the No. 2 seed from 8-AAAAA, will play host to Stephenson, which was ranked in Class AAAAA for most of the season. The Falcons are looking to get past the first round for the first time since 2011 after being upset in the first round last year by North Paulding.
In Class AAAA, Chestatee will play host to a tough Grady squad that is no stranger to the playoffs. The War Eagles are still looking for their first-ever playoff win.
Defending Class AA state champion Jefferson is the No. 2 seed from 8-AA this year and will open the playoffs at home against Westminster. The Dragons may get a boost with the return of quarterback Evan Shirreffs, who missed the last half of the season with a broken thumb.
Defending Class AAA champion Buford will play host to Sonoraville in the first round. The Wolves have advanced past the first round for 14 consecutive seasons. The last time they failed to reach the second round was in 1997. They did not make the playoffs in 1998.

The Picture of The Bulldog at Sugars suggests that maybe the dog went to that big restaurant in the sky. There's a plaque under the picture with the dogs name on it.

Sunday June 14, 2009
There are two main ways to get from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. Interstate 25 will get you from one to the other in just about an hour. If you have the time and want to see more scenery, take NM Rte. 14, also known as the Turquoise Trail. This is the road we took, partially because our breakfast destination,
San Marcos Cafe
in the town of Cerrillos, is on Rte. 14. Unfortunately, we had a bear of a time finding the place. We must of drove past it twice and the GPS was no help at all. But, at least it let us discover this interesting sign,
next to a gas station, while we were lost. No outside sign was apparent, so what clued in that this was the restaurant was the peacocks
roaming around in the yard. Hey, we even got to see one of the peacocks showing off his glorious tail
for a peahen. Hmmmm, I'm thinking she's seen this before and isn't too impressed!
The inside of the
San Marcos Cafe
is fairly large,
with plenty of room between tables and multiple dining rooms. We were seated in the small room on the right, which was attractively decorated.
We were very much impressed by the little touches. We asked for water and we got this well worn, but appropriate for here, pitcher.
The excellent hot chocolates arrived in
San Marcos Cafe
coffee mugs.
And the orange juice was fresh squeezed.
Here was the specials board,
with lots of tempting options. We started our meal off with a hot cinnamon roll.
Larger than most, it was extremely flaky and not overly sweet. We loved it! My entree was the Eggs San Marcos,
a dish of scrambled eggs inside a tortilla, covered with guacamole, plus green and red chiles. The chiles here had first rate flavor, with the green being much hotter. Johnny had the corned beef hash,
which was very tender, with a nice crispy outside.
Along with well done potatoes and over easy eggs, Johnny was very happy with his meal. Oh, and some really good homemade, warm and buttery bread
came with the meals.
San Marcos Cafe
has an interesting history. There used to be a black tie wearing rooster named Buddy who greeted the guests and served as unofficial mascot. But Buddy passed away years ago and even without a replacement, we gave
San Marcos Cafe
high marks. Before we left, I did pose in the doorway
in the side yard, but forgot to give the John Wayne pose, like Michael Stern does in the Roadfood review.
San Marcos Cafe
Cerrillos, NM
Time was running short for Johnny's time in New Mexico, but we did make one more stop and that was at the New Mexico Musuem of Natural History in Albuquerque. They have lots of interesting exhibits here, but we were most impressed by the dinosaur displays.
And we couldn't help but take a fun photo outside the museum.
It was time to take Johnny to the airport and say our good byes, since my flight didn't leave until the next morning. But, now that I don't have him holding me back anymore, I can FINALLY do some serious eating!

We had lunch at the San Marcos Cafe about 5 years ago, strange trip because just before we hit Cerrillos we came across a production company filming a video for MTV, I think the guy was Neal Anderson. You just never know what you will come across taking the back roads in New Mexico!

Sunday June 14, 2009 cont.
Since I wanted some snacks for the hotel that night, I made one more stop at
Golden Crown Panaderia
for more biscochitos and cherry empanadas.
Then a nap at the hotel room. For my last dinner in Albuquerque, I chose
Located in the middle of a big shopping district, this is not your little mom and pop Roadfood restaurant. Even at 7:30 on a Sunday night, the place was crowded, although I did get a seat right away in the main dining room.
To start off the meal, an order of the sopaipillas.
These came out cold and just tasted mass produced. Much better were the homemade chips and salsa.
For my entree, it was the carne adovada stacked enchiladas,
one of the dishes they are best known for. Not bad, but nothing special. Considering all the great food I had already eaten on this trip,
was clearly a step below. There are too many other places in Albuquerque for me to eat before I would go back.
6230 4th Street NW
Albuquerque, NM
Back to the hotel for the rest of the night.
More to come.....

Monday June 15, 2009
My flight left mid morning, which gave me time for one more meal in Albuquerque. I headed to
Lindy's Diner
a corner restaurant, right on Rte. 66. The inside is spacious and neat and I like the neon skyline,
although I doubt that really matches with Albuquerque.
Having loved the cinnamon roll from the day before, I decided to try it here, too. This was more of the sweeter, gooey, covered in butter version of a cinnamon roll.
Served hot, it was a pleasure to eat. My main dish was what the waitress called one of their most popular dishes, the Pile Up.
What's not too like about bacon and hash browns, covered with tasty red and green chile and lots of cheese? This was my second visit to
and both times I have been very happy with the food and the service.
is an underrated Albuquerque restaurant.
Lindy's Diner
500 Central Avenue SW
Albuquerque, NM
From there, it was straight to the airport and the end of the vacation.

Don't have time to eat breakfast? Drink it
If you don't have time to sit down for a bowl of cereal in the morning, companies are hoping you'll want to drink your breakfast.
As companies struggle to grow cereal sales in the U.S., Kellogg and General Mills are preparing to roll out breakfast drinks.
At an industry conference Wednesday, Kellogg CEO John Bryant said one way the company will redefine cereal is with its "Breakfast To Go" milk-based drink, which will be rolled out nationally this year. A day before, General Mills said it's testing a dairy-based breakfast shake called "BFast" that has whole grains and the nutrition of a bowl of cereal and milk, including fiber, protein, vitamins and whole grains.
The broader idea of turning meals into drinks is getting more attention as people look for convenient ways to eat on the go.
PepsiCo, which makes Quaker oatmeal and recently got into the dairy business, has launched similar concepts overseas.

After sweeping the Reno Aces, the Nashville Sounds could not carry any momentum over to start the weekend.
They lost 8-1 to the Tacoma Raineers.
Taylor Jungmann went just five innings giving up five earned runs in a sub-par performance.
The Sounds were held to just one run on eight hits and were 0-5 with runners in scoring position.

We're going to play a game. Nobody knows for sure what to expect from the Birds this season. In fact, not many people are even sure whether this team got better or worse.
So let's break it down. We're running down the entire roster position by position, and asking whether the moves the front office made this off-season will result in immediate improvements, or if they've ultimately taken a huge step back. We begin at running back.
Keep in mind, when we ask whether the Eagles are better off without Brian Westbrook as the starting running back, we're talking about last year's model. BWest is a shell of his former self. There was concern all last summer about his health, he wound up participating in only half of the team's games, and he lacked the big play ability that made him special, a 34-yard reception being his longest gain of the season.
Everybody appreciates what Westbrook meant to the offense in his prime, but nobody can make a reasonable argument that the Eagles are going to miss him too much in the present day NFL. His skills are rapidly diminishing, and he's an injury waiting to happen. The coaches only saw fit to give 36 one touch in last season's finale, perhaps sparing him any further physical strain before his release.
That's not to say LeSean McCoy will ever be as dynamic as Westbrook. In fact, it's probably unfair to expect that. Westbrook was a special runner who would patiently duck down behind his blockers, then suddenly squirt through an opening and take it to the house. He created mismatches in the passing game, and he was an incredibly talented pass protector, especially considering his size. He was dangerous in any and every situation.
McCoy may not ever become an elite weapon, and we haven't quite seen enough from him yet to determine what his ceiling is exactly. It's still safe to assume he'll be an upgrade as the fulltime starter though. He was solid enough in his rookie season that it should give him something to build on, and he's simply going to have more spring in his step than a back who turned 30.
Leonard Weaver
When we talk about Weaver having a better 2010, we're not necessarily speaking in conventional terms like developing as a player. The sixth year fullback is coming off his first All Pro season, so the Eagles appear to have already caught him right at his peak. However, he does have an opportunity to put up bigger numbers with increased touches.
Heading into their Week 8 tilt against the Giants, Weave had only carried a total of four times through six games up to that point. He exploded in that contest for 75 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown run, and for the remainder of the season he played a more prominent role in the offense. With an entire off-season for the coaches to design new schemes to get the ball to their fullback, who they happened to lock up for three more seasons, Weaver could shine even brighter.
The Eagles were in a tight spot at last April's draft. Westbrook's health status was a major concern, and his primary backup, Correll Buckhalter, was allowed to leave as a free agent. The organization absolutely had to draft a back, and they had to select one early, because there was a very realistic chance whoever it was would be pressed into action right from the jump.
That shouldn't be the case any longer. For starters, the club added restricted free agent Mike Bell from the Saints, and he actually led the champs in carries last season. Bell is nothing special, but he's a serviceable reserve who has rushed for over 600 yards twice in his four year career, and he's a bit of a bigger back that will show defenses a different look.
The Eagles also used their sixth round pick on Charles Scott. The 6-1, 234 lbs. back out of LSU is expected to compete with the less pedigreed Eldra Buckley for the final spot on the depth chart, and should he win, Scott could become a serious threat in short yardage or on the goal line.
Whenever you lose a Brian Westbrook, even in what appears to be the twilight of his career, you're still losing something. Need a big play at the end of a game? Westbrook. Somebody who knows exactly the right time to release out of the backfield? Westbrook. A player who isn't too selfish to teach and help the younger players who are fighting for his job? Westbrook.
We hope he's passed down all of the lessons from his eight years in the NFL to Shady, but that's sort of impossible. He was a leader who had a natural feel for the game, and those are things you can't necessarily impart to another player. We're confident McCoy is going to do just fine. He's simply not experienced enough to do all of the little things BWest handled without fuss.
We probably won't be able to say this about too many other positions, but it's really difficult to project Eagles' running backs being worse anywhere at all. They went with youth at the feature spot, signed a capable change up/reserve back, added competition at the back end of the depth chart, and extended their all star fullback. That's basically everything they needed to do.

Avent: Letting Wilson go a bad decision for NC State
Posted January 23, 2014
Updated January 24, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Before Russell Wilson was a Seattle Seahawks quarterback, before he attended the University of Wisconsin, before he was a player with the Colorado Rockies organization, and even before he was a signal caller for North Carolina State University, he was a baseball prospect as a top-level shortstop.
"I was in Salem, Va., watching a game on a bad field – the best players in the state of Virginia," said N.C. State head baseball coach Elliott Avent. "I liked this shortstop, very raw, but I liked him. In fact, I kind of said, 'That shortstop is pretty good.' I knew some farmer would come over and say, 'Hey coach, if you like him in baseball, you should see him throw a football. He's the best quarterback the state of Virginia has ever had.'"
Avent immediately called then-Wolfpack head football coach Chuck Amato.
"I said, 'Hey Chuck, what do you know about Russell Wilson?' (He said) 'I'll call you right back.'" Avent recalled. "He called back and said everybody likes him, but he's a little short. I'm like, 'Here we go again.'"
Avent subsequently placed a call to Wolfpack offensive coordinator Mark Trestman – now the head coach of the Chicago Bears.
"I called Trestman and said, 'Hey Mark, I need you to get Russell Wilson in camp and convince Chuck that he's a little taller than he is,'" Avent recounted. "Next thing you know, they sign Russell, and the rest is history."
It was at that point that the long journey for the baseball player – and quarterback – began in earnest.
"Chuck and I recruited him for baseball, football. It was always baseball, football," Avent said. "Now, in the process, Chuck leaves, and in comes Tom O'Brien. I had to go to Tom O'Brien and say, 'This is baseball, football.'"
For three years, Wilson made the delicate balance of school, baseball and football work.
"He would actually get up at 5 a.m. to go to the early workouts for football so he could be out here in the afternoon," Avent said of Wilson's baseball dedication.
It got more complicated the summer before his third year, when Wilson was drafted by the Rockies. He played minor league baseball that summer, reported to fall football camp on time and produced a stellar campaign under center.
He wanted to continue playing minor league baseball the summer of 2011. O'Brien wanted Wilson to spend more time with football. The coach's question: Do I take Wilson for one year or Mike Glennon for two?
"He's not coming back. He'll be a baseball player," O'Brien said at the time. "We have to move forward with Glennon. We've planned for this day. I can't sit here and say we're going to wait for Russell to come back. We have to move forward. Mike is going to be the quarterback. That's how we are going."
That led to the transfer to Wisconsin where Wilson continued to flourish in one season as a Badger.
"It was something I wasn't very happy about," Avent recounted. "I think it was one of the bad decisions in college sports – and not on Russell's part. I'm just saying we should have found a way to keep Russell Wilson here."

WHITTIER >> Even with iPads, smartphones and gaming systems at their disposal, this generation's school children still appreciate a good book.
Their enthusiasm showed Friday as students at Mill School and Technology Academy and Aeolian Elementary School each hosted Read Across America Day.
It's an annual national literacy program, which takes place on or near March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss, aka Theodor Geisel.
"Reading is part of our daily activities," said Reanna Mendoza,Mill School principal.
Students take part in Reading Counts, an independent reading program, she said.
Each of the school's classes visit their respective libraries on a regular basis.
A number of guests, from a variety of professions, read books to classes.
"We love reading here at Aeolian," Principal Becky Speh said. "And today is one day that we can celebrate reading with a lot of fun and imagination."
"We appreciate those in attendance for participating and engaging our students, Whittier City School District Ron Carruth said.
"This is my first time reading to the kids," said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Maria Lucero, of the Pico Rivera station.
Dressed in uniform, she read a book to the fifth-grade class at Mill School.
Melanie Campos, 10, said she enjoys books about adventures, while classmates Geovanni Flores, 10, and Lizae Franco, 11, enjoyed those that inspired laughs and thrills.
"I like scary movies, so I like scary books," Franco said.
Christopher Gonzalez, 10, said mysteries were his favorite books because "you never know who did it. It's fun to find out."
Second- and third-graders from Mary Dishigrikyan's class talked of their joy of reading.
Aidan Heieck and David Diaz, both 7, and Jehielle Osuna, 8, talked of how books can take them on an adventure without leaving their house or school.
"I like to read because you can make believe," Diaz said.

Don't Worry, Be Happy
This season is always kind of hectic with either too much or too little, of everything. I don't know about you but I have few financial resources and not much time. I don't have children though, usually more of a loss but am good with my cats by now. However, I don't have to worry about their needs and my two nephews and niece understand broke because they are too. I do have close friends and a bread machine and love to cook. Oh, and there's that Kohl's credit card which is helping me along the way. So I agree with Bob: Don't worry, be happy!
I am a full time yoga teacher, trained at City Fitness in Washington, DC and Willow Street Yoga Center in Silver Spring, Maryland. I have been writing poetry since I was nine years old. Poetry is my first love and yoga continues to feed my heart. I write because I love it. I teach because I love it. I tell my students all the time: do it because you can. That works for me. I believe in creating opportunity. I believe in helping my self and others. I think faith is the most important gift of life, because when we lose everything else we still have that in our heart. I believe the natural state of being is happiness, or bliss, or Ananda. Life is a celebration. Poetry and yoga help me celebrate. Check out my blog and website here.

Duke Riley: The Rematch
Step aside you sportsmen, writers, bigger boys and comedians who have variously topped my admiration tree – I have a new hero and his name is Duke Riley. The Brooklyn-based artist is the master of quirky, unusual performance and installation pieces which often have a historical angle. They often involve booze but don't be fooled, there's big ideas at play behind the mayhem. His new project will see him re-run the famous Chinese Zodiac animal race with the participants being rowed across a Chinese river (a big iguana will replace the dragon).
The ancient legend about the animals' race across the river gave rise to the custom of years being associated with different creatures and corresponding characteristics projected onto people born under certain animals' years.
Duke Riley's Rematch takes place on April 15, and has been organised "in the spirit of art, community, and competition." Each animal will be placed in a gondola and rowed by an expert while an opera singer performs pieces from the animals' perspectives, giving their version of events from the original race.
Duke says: "No calendars will be reset at the finish line nor will any closer understanding of that mythical day be realised. The only realisation will be a brief moment of divine absurdity between two shores."
He has already made scouting trips to China and is documenting every stage of the process in great detail, as is the case with all his madcap projects.
In the past he has staged a reenactment of the most spectacular type of Roman entertainments – battles waged on water – organised a St Patrick's Day Parade in Havana, retraced a hobo census in a hidden prehistoric river in Cleveland and tried to assail a British ship from a homemade submarine in homage to a similar effort which took place during the American ar of Independence (ending in his arrest, not for the first time).
Aside from the photos and videos he posts about each project, duke also often records his work in hugely detailed drawings or artefacts raising questions of memory, identity and the interaction between myth, legend and reality.

The much awaited verdict of the 1993 weapons possession case is here. And it is now confirmed that Sanjay Dutt has to go behind the bars. The Supreme court had upheld his conviction in the case and awarded him 5 years jail term. It was earlier 6 years jail term but now the court reduced it to 5 years. Sanjay had already spent 18 months in jail and is currently on bail. He now have 4 weeks to surrender before court.
This came as a huge shock to Bollywood as several projects are linked with the actor. The actor is also playing an important role in Ram Charan's Zanjeer and we will have to see if he can allot some dates in this 4 weeks to complete the project.

Naproxen: uses, dosage, side effects and brand information
Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory painkiller - find out how it works, what brands are available and get advice on its use
What is naproxen used for?
Naproxen is prescribed to relieve pain and inflammation in adults and adolescents aged 16 years and over with the following conditions:
- rheumatoid arthritis
- osteoarthritis
- a form of arthritis affecting the joints of the spine (ankylosing spondylitis)
- acute gout
- painful disorders of the muscles and skeleton, such as tendon inflammation (tendinitis), sprains, strains, back pain, neck pain
- period pain (dysmenorrhoea). You can also buy naproxen without a prescription from pharmacies for period pain.
Naproxen is also prescribed for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children over five years of age.
How does naproxen work?
Naproxen is a type of medicine called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the action of an enzyme in the body called cyclo-oxygenase (COX).
COX is involved in making substances in the body known as prostaglandins, in response to injury and in certain diseases and conditions. The prostaglandins cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Naproxen reduces inflammation and pain by reducing the production of these prostaglandins.
Naproxen will help relieve pain and inflammation after a single dose, but its anti-inflammatory effect builds up over a few weeks of taking it regularly.
Naproxen is good for relieving period pain because it reduces the production of the prostaglandins that are involved in making the womb contract during your period.
- How do I take naproxen and what is the dose?
- Who shouldn't take naproxen?
- What are the possible side effects of naproxen?
- Can I take other medicines with naproxen?
What forms of naproxen are available?
Naproxen 250mg and 500mg tablets, naproxen 250mg and 500mg gastro-resistant tablets and naproxen oral suspension are available as the generic (unbranded) medicine. Naproxen is also available under the following brand names:
- Boots period pain relief.
- Feminax ultra.
- Naprosyn.
- Stirlescent.
Naproxen also comes in combination products that also contain a medicine to protect the stomach; these are Vimovo (naproxen with esomeprazole) and Napratec OP (naproxen with misoprostol).

Mossberg 500 vs. Remington 870 vs. Benelli Nova
which one would you choose out of the 3 and why?
for home defense?
for hunting?
the Moss and Rem. seem to be favorites and in the same price range, i just would like to see everyone else's opinion. and i just thre in Benelli in the mix since i have one and its in the same price range.
never used the Rem. 870, but know of its reputation. not much personal experience with the Moss 500...
i use my 500 for hd, hunting and just shootin the breeze:D
i bought the 870 express combo.... have the riffled barel for deer, and the smooth bore for everything else.... all in one gun...
not the best gun... but for the money, i feel i got a good deal
My mossy has been my deer and turkey hunter for years. It is also a gun I would reach for in a hd situation.
I haven't priced shotguns in many years. Have Rem and Benelli come down to the same price range as Mossberg? I got mine when I was 18 and affordable. I wanted an 870, but could not afford one at the time.
I've had a remington 870 express magnum 20 gauge and I have had it for 10 years it still works like the day I bought it. I ran thousands of rounds through it and haven't had any problems.
I prefer my mossberg 500 for anything.
870 is nice, but the price difference doesnt mean anything. Mossberg is cheaper, but doesnt mean its any less durable.
why did I say the same 100 year dealio for the 870 and the mossy 500? Eek. :eek:
I voted 870 because for home defense I have a tricked out 870. But for hunting, the Browning BPS wins hands down!
They are all good firearms, although, I use a Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag because of it's 3 1/2" capability. 20" barrel for turkeys and a 28" barrel for everything else. Picked it up used 15 years or so ago and the rest is history.

" Brand: Cadbury's "
I bought a six pack of these from Tesco's the other day for 75p, meaning each bar costs less than 13p each. They are very small and probably a third of the size of a regular sized chocolate bar, but still a bargain!
*Where does Freddo come from*
Freddo's are made by Cadbury and originate from Australia, although are widely available in the UK and other countries. I always assumed that Freddo was a 1980's invention as I remember him from my childhood, however his conception dates back to the 1930's making Freddo MUCH older than I thought!
*What's in Freddo*
Freddos are made of milk, sugar, cocoa butter, vegetable fat and flavourings (this product has two different e numbers too which should be noted). They may contain nuts.
*What does Freddo taste like?*
Freddo doesn't taste that dissimilar to an ordinary Cadbury's dairy milk bar and has a thick and rick creamy texture. There is nothing wildly exciting about this bar, although I do think it is perfect for a lunchbox treat (for children and adults) as it takes the edge off that chocolate craving. It may fill up a little child but definitely wouldn't fill up an adult though!
You can also buy a caramel version of these Freddo's which are a bit more exciting. Back in Oz there are apparently even more versions like white chocolate and a crunchie version!
The product is aimed at children but good for adults who want to aim portion control. There are 95 calories in each of these small bars - this is 5.3% of an adults guideline daily amount.
*Other useful things about Freddie*
They are suitable for veggies (no meat here)! There is a long best before end date on these - the ones I bought have a bbe of around a year.
3/5 dooyoo stars - good for kids and a quick nostalgic chocolate fix and a good price - but nothing more exciting than this!
Cadbury's Freddo's cost 20p each or can be bought in a pack of six for 75p. They come in a purple packet with a picture of a frog on and the chocolate bar name across the front. They are about half the size of the average chocolate bar and made up of Cadbury's dairy milk chocolate, moulded into a frog shape.
I purchase these in a multipack every so often to keep in the cupboard as treats for my daughter. They are the perfect size for her little two year old self and I am satisfied that the smaller size means they are not so bad for her as the occasional treat. These are a simple chocolate bar being just plain milk chocolate but we all really enjoy them. I like to have mine with a cup of tea sometimes instead of a biscuit and the little size means I don't feel too guilty afterwards! The frog shape adds extra enjoyment for my little girl as she points out that it is a frog about ten times before she eats into it! Although I do primarily buy these for my daughter, me and my husband also really enjoy them so I'd recommend to anyone really.
A nice Cadbury's treat in the perfect snack size. 5 stars
A lot of people will have at least seen this product in their local paper shop or at a sports club as a child although not all of them will have had the pleasure to actually taste this delicious snack, freddo has been around for a long time but in my opinion the brand still stands the test of time as I will go on to verfiy.
Depending what part of the world you are from will determine exactly how the packing looks, in the uk the freddo brand is the instantly recognisible purple that tells you its a cadburies product and in the uk version freddo frog holds the writting "freddo" which is printed in red, in his two hands
Freddo's have always been well known for their affordability for school children and for people who have had a busy finaicial period such as over christmas and birthdays, for a long time freddo seemed immune to inflation with the price stuck at 10 p for a number of years, though a few years back now the price rose to 15p and recently has just rose again to 20p, which seems like a large increase for the same product however it is still affordable for school children and those who want decent quality chocolater without speninding a fortune on some belgian sickly stuff. With the price of a 45 g bar of cadburys dairy milk costing 60 pence, the 18 g freddo represents a possible 36g for 40p or 54g for 60 pence meaning your money goes further as the profit margin for this product is still less than larger bar products (excluding those large bars that are multi use intended I think they might be called "family" bars in days gone by)
Well a single freddo is a lot less fatning than a single galaxy bar because it is smaller and when you have a choclate craving very often that one bar will fill you up and delight you with out much effect on your waistline, as it sort of opperates on the "minimum response to elict change" principle whereas buying a bigger bar preety much ensures you are going to possibly eat moe than you strictly need.
However for times when you are really peckish you may want to eat two of them before stopping, again as this is less chocolate than a single regular bar its still not so bad because it has overshot your minimum cravings by less, if at all.
I do think that both psychology and physically eating two freddos is going to be enough because it gives your brain time to register your full and that your craving for sugar has been statisfied then their is the guilt factor as eating two freddos makes you think "I'm not going to be a greedy guts and eat a third one" inspite of a third bar being not much more than a regular bar you are psychologically disuaded from eating that last bar.
Finally there is the cost aspect, stopping at two bars saves you 20p a day over other stacks and over a year in these finacial times this saving can be put towards going to the gym instead of fattening your self with chocolate! As for the actuall nutritional value of freddo its much similar per gram to any other cadburys product with a single bar providing 1.4g of protein (good), 10g carbs (ok) 5.4 g of fat (about typical) one small negative for the product is it does not tell you how much saturated fat is in the product (as to a certain extent one can overdose on non saturated fat and not get fat but even if one eats less fat than the rda but has a high proportion of saturated fat in their diet they can be at risk of health compllications)
Its all in the eye of the beholder but in my eyes its got a really smooth and milky taste which is not far behind galaxy for texture and has quite a sweet taste too, a little sweeter than cardburys dairy milk but is not so sweet as to be sickly and for the price is actually tastier than cardburys dairy milk but isn't up to the standard of the king of chocolate which is galaxy in my opinion. It is very much a milk chocolate with the taste being nothing like dark chocolates rich and smokey taste instead its nice,sweet and very milky and is suitable for those of us who prefer tasty not prentious chocolate.
Freddo's have got to be one of my favourite chocolate bars due to their distinctive taste and small price tag. However it has come to my attention that the good ol' freddo bar is now at an outrageous 20p! I love freddo bars and they really are the iconic chocolate bar of any childhood.
The packaging of the freddo bar is slightly different than the one shown above as they now come in a purple packet, from where i come from anyway! This works well with the colours of Cadbury's due to purple being the colour associated with the company, and this also draws the attention of the customer as purple is also a very distinctive colour against many other chocolate bars.
The chocolate itself is very good for giving to younger and smaller children for a little snack or treat as they are not too big and will not make your child unhealthy. (Unless they eat a whole box of 60!)
These really are an iconic chocolate bar to any adult in their childhood, however i think it would be time for the classic Freddo to revert back to its original size and tasty price of 10p!
The Cadbury freddo frog is a very popular children's (and adults) sweet. At a small size, they are the perfect treat and chocolate hit that you could need.
I love the fact that the chocolate is in the shape of a frog and the frog looks so happy. It is almost guaranteed to cheer you up if you are feeling down. It is made out of pure Cadbury milk chocolate so taste like a bar of dairy milk, just smaller and frog shaped.
A Freddo is only 95 calories so can be used as an afternoon treat for someone who is trying to eat healthily and it is also a good choice to give to children as it isn't too big.
They cost 20p pre freddo now which is a lot of money compared to what they used to cost. the rice keeps going up and up. I remember that just a little while ago, they were 15p each and then went up to 17p but very quickly after that rise, they now seem to be 20p each. The only good thing is that the price is written on the packet so it cannot be changed by individual shops, you pay the same everywhere.
The Cadbury freddo frog milk chocolate bars are great for a cheap and not too naughty chocolate bar. They are obviously designed for children being shaped into a cute fog character but I often buy them as they provide a chocolate fix but are small enough not to be too fattening.
The price of each freddo frog is 20p and the good news is that Cadbury prints this on the front of the bars wrapper so shops cannot charge any more than this.
The wrapper is the traditional Cadbury purple colour with the Cadbury and dairy milk logo's on with a picture of freddo the frog on the front. Also on the front is some basis nutritional information and as I mentioned previously the price. On the back of the wrapper you can find more detailed nutritional information and ingredients listings.
Each fog contains just 95 Calories and 5.4g of fat, which means that you get a nice amount of chocolate to satisfy your cravings but do not feel too guilty afterwards.
The moulded frog shaped chocolate is just simple of piece of Cadbury dairy milk, it has the same creamy distinctive taste and is just as enjoyable. I think the freddo bar is suitable for children and adults alike and would recommend it for either as a fun quirky treat.
Cadbury's Freddo Frog is a chocolate I remember from when I was a kid (only cost 10p in those days too).
Cadbury's Freddo Frog is basically a piece of Cadbury's milk chocolate which has been shaped and printed to look just like Freddo the Frog that is printed on the packaging. It's as simple as that. Freddo comes in a purple wrapper that has a picture of Freddo wearing a yellow t-shirt on the front. On the back, is a bit of nutrional information. Freddo "bars" are only small chocolates, about two bites worth for an adult, but great sized for children, or for those on a diet needing a bit of a chocolate fix.
These bars are great, smooth milk chocolate with a nice bite to them. They taste just like usual Cadbury Dairy Milk bars, but in a smaller version, which as I said before is great for kids or for those who only want a smaller chocolate bar.
These now cost 15p, and can be found in most newsagents and some supermarkets. There is also the caramel version, which is exactly the same, but has a small amount of caramel in the middle.
==Cadbury's Freddo Frog==
Freddo the Frog has been around for a good number of years now and is something that I might treat Jack to if he has been a good boy. I used to eat these bars of chocolate when I was younger and I felt the main draw when I got old enough to have my own money was the fact that they were a very affordable 10 pence per bar! Bargain.
Nowadays however Freddo doesn't seem as good value as he once was costing 17 pence per bar. The bar itself is fairly small although no where on the small wrapper can I see that they have said exactly how much the Frog weights in at.
Freddo Frog is basically a pure milk chocolate bar which is in the shape of a tall frog. It has the face of Freddo etched into the surface of the chocolate which is I guess supposed to make it slightly more fun and appeal to children far more.
The wrapping of the Freddo frog is very appealing for children especially as there is a cartoon picture of Freddo on the front. He has a bright green face and is wearing some sort of jogging suit whilst holding his name is large red lettering. The rest of the wrapper is now coloured the classic Cadbury purple colour unlike the above shown picture.
The small wrapper has really only limited information. It states that the chocolate bar is suitable for vegetarians and that per bar there are 95 calories and 5.4 grams of fat. It is possible that the bar contains nuts, soya and wheat so allergy sufferers beware. Apart from that and a small bit about the ingredients there is nothing more that the wrapper has to say. But I feel this is enough!
The chocolate bar is made by Cadbury's so the taste is really what you would expect when buying a milk chocolate bar from this company. It has a smooth and creamy taste which is rich and sweet and very moriesh. Unfortunately I had bought this one for Jack and was only able to have a small bite of it before he gobbled down the lot at supersonic speed. Both Jack and I do like these little frogs as a treat from time to time.
The smell that comes from the bar is again very sweet and rich. You can tell just from the aroma that is a solid chocolate bar and the fragrance makes you just want to pop the entire frog in your mouth in one go - (this is possible!) The smell and the taste are really very nice and because the bar is on the small size I would say it certainly leaves you wanting more!
The taste is really very delicious and compared to most chocolate bars this really is a good price and more than enough chocolate for little chops to eat (and especially for those with bigger chops like myself!). Really there is nothing that I could find fault with when buying a Cadbury Freddo Frog and for that reason it gets a top score of 5 out of 5 stars and an exceptionally high recommendation. I suspect I shall continue to buy these for a little while to come!
I do hope that this has been of some help/interest to you
Many thanks for taking the time to read.
When my children were small we used to take them out in the car and tell them that if they were good they could have a Cadbury's Freddo Frog on the way home when we went to the garage, this became a regular routine and they are now grown up and buy them for their children. It's funny what things you pass on too your children.
A Cadbury's Freddo Frog will cost you 10p and you can buy them in single bars or multi packs from the supermarket, they are without doubt delicious mini bites of heavenly cadbury's milk chocolate, just enough for a treat but not enough to spoil an appetite.
The cartoon frog on the front of the stay fresh packet is the shape of the chocolate bar inside the packet. an attractive bar for little children and big kids like me.

They aren't really that healthy for you as you can see the fat content is very high so it's a good job its only a small bar of chocolate eating more than one will help you to gain weight rapidly so be careful as they are delicious.
If you have a nut allergy then also be careful as there is a warning of may contain nuts on the packet as some chocolate bars are packet where the nut products are made and stray nuts could go in them by mistake, but I think it's a rare occurrence.
The web site www.cadbury.co.uk is there for you to have a look at if you have any queries.
On the whole these are tasty little treats, they are also good for hiding between the layers aof a pass the parcel at a childrens birthday party as they are a nice surprise and affordable to make the game more entertaining, as all children love chocolate treats.

Cadbury's Freddo Frog is a shaped chocolate bar consisting of a 15 gram solid piece of Cadbury's milk chocolate shaped into a frog. Introduced in 1930 and remaining popular today, the range also includes versions filled with strawberry, peppermint or caramel. Freddo Frogs can be found in corner shops and petrol stations and you should expect to pay 15p for a standard bar.
The bar comes packaged in an easy open purple wrapper, with the smiling figure of a (dressed) frog on the front. Freddo dairy milk is stamped across his T-Shirt. The bars should be kept in a cool dark place (or the fridge in hot weather) and the chocolate will keep for several months.
Per bar, Freddo Frog contains 105 calories, 11.3 grams of carbohydrate and 5.9 grams of fat. As with any chocolate, proportionately the fat content is high. However, this is a very small bar, so if you are on a diet or trying to be good they can be a good 'quick fix' of chocolate.
Cadbury's Freddo Frog is very straightforward - it is a block of Cadbury's milk chocolate, and as such is milky, smooth and delicious. Because of their size, these are also good for children's parties and goody bags.
I love Cadbury Freddo's, I used to buy these when I was at school, as they only used to cost 10pence, my friends and myself used to scour the playground for dropped pennies and once we had 10p each, we would all go to the shop and get a freddo.
Yesterday I was surprised that Freddos are still being sold, I hadn't seen them around in ages. I was disappointed to see that the price has increased by 50%, now costing a whopping 15pence! For the money, you get a 15gram portion of Cadbury chocolate, shaped like a frog.
The outer packaging is Cadbury purple, and has the smiley green frog wearing a yellow t shirt on it, the 15p is marked on the front too. The bar is around 7cm tall by 3cm wide.
Opening the packet is easy, tears open without a problem to reveal the chocolate itself, if you look at it for long enough, it definitely resembles a frog, it has the eyes and face marked out. The taste is just the same as any Cadbury milk chocolate. Nice and creamy and smooth. I find these are best out of the fridge when the chocolate hardens.
For me these are an ideal treat and you will usually find them by the till in shops and petrol stations. For me they are a bitesize treat, but for children it will probably be a few mouthfuls.
Although the price has increased, I would still recommend these. They're perfect for using up lose change in your pockets. Each bar only has 85calories so they're not too bad for you either.
I used to have freddo the frog Cadbury chocolate bars as a child and now I buy them for my daugther, she loves them just as much as I did.
They are little minature cadbury chocolate bars moulded into the shape of freddo the frog.
The picture above shows a freddo chocolate bar with a turquoise background, mine has the traditional cadbury purple background, mine also shows the price at 17p, this has recently increased as I'm sure they used to be only 15p and when I was a child they were only 10p if I remember correctly.
The chocolate bar weighs about 20g and is 7cm x 3cm approx, each bar contains 95 calories and 5.4g of fat, as long as you only eat one at a time I don't think this is too bad.
I got these for my daughter to have as an afterschool snack, but I also feel they are a guilt free treat for me too for those times when you just have to have chocolate.
You can purchase these from most newsagents, I've also seen them in the super market sweet isle.
They are made from the same Cadbury dairy milk chocolate we all recognise, the one with the purple wrapper, that lovely creamy chocolate that melts on the tongue.
They are aslo avaliable with a soft caramel centre, but I have never tried these.
When I was little I can remember every time my dad used to go up to the local shop to pick up a newspaper I would always walk up there with him. I think it was a source of bribery as I would always seem to come home with a Freddo for being good.
These used to be only 10p when I was younger as were easily affordable from my whole 50p pocket money. I recently went into the Sainsbury's petrol station and saw them tucked away on the bottom shelf and decided to get one for my daughter. I noticed they now retail at 15p.
This cute little frog chocolate is around 2 inches tall and 3 cm's wide. They are fairly thick, I would say around half a centimetre. On the front of the chocolate is the design of a frog that is obviously called Freddo.
Freddo is made by Cadburys and is pure dairy milk chocolate. This chocolate is great to eat as it has a lovely smooth creamy texture which tastes lovely and will always leave you wanting more. I love it when it starts to melt away in my mouth giving me a lovely chocolate aroma which tastes and smell divine.
Not only can you purchase the plain milk chocolate freddo, you can also get caramel versions for the same price.
If you have not yet tried these Freddo's I would recommend giving them a try. Priced at only 15pewnce they are a bargain and will keep you little ones quite for a whole 5 minutes.
Well before I start let me tell you that my Freddo bar looks nothing like this one on here. My wrapper is purple in colour and has a picture of a happy green frog in a white t shirt. Across the front it says Dairy Milk. So I am under no illusions what I will find when I open my wrapper?
Wrong. Upon opening this little bar of chocolate I am immediately met by a frog shaped piece of milk chocolate. Obviously it has been poured out of some kind of mould. I remember similar when I was younger and upon reading up a bit of history these had been around in the 1970's before being withdrawn and returning in the 1990's.
They cost 15p at present, although I do remember it was only a few years ago, that they cost 10p, then 12p, but I guess inflation has taken its toll.
The milk chocolate frog bar has only 105 calories of lovely dairy milk chocolate. You can easily bite through the frog and you can hear the chocolate snap as your teeth go through. The kids love them. In fact we use them for party bags. I love them as well as a quick snack. They are small enough to to ruin anybodys appetite. I fully recommend them to all who enjoy dairy milk chocolate.
Cadbury seem to be changing the titles of all their chocolate bars to include Dairy milk, we once had the Cadburys caramel but we now have the Dairy milk with caramel and where the Turkish delight bar used to be known as Cadbury Turkish delight it is now Cadbury Dairy milk with Turkish delight.
I cannot really see the point for this but hey what does it matter really, well that is until I found out that they have renamed the Freddo Frog bars... Cadbury freddo dairy milks, how ridiculous and a bit sad.
Freddo`s will always be Freddo forgs to me and they will always be a chocolate I buy, I mainly buy them for the grandkids but if I fancy just a little bit of chocolate then these are perfect, there is about the same amount of chocolate in one of the frog shaped fellows as there is in the slim dairy milk bar which was once known as the wildlife bar (another name change) but I prefer it small and chunky like this to long and flat like the bars.
Freddos have been with us since the 60`s, when I would like to say I was just a lad but the truth is my wife and I got married in the late 60`s so I was a little older than just a lad. I have been enjoying these frog shaped chocolate bars ever since they have been around and will continue to till I am not around.
I suppose I should say exactly what a Freddo is just in case someone has just arrived from the moon and doesn't know, it is a frog shaped chunk of Cadbury chocolate cleverly marketed at kids, nothing more, nothing less but like all Cadbury products it is very good.
You can expect to pay around 15 to 20p for one of these today, I remember buying them for less than ten pence but when you consider how much other chocolate bars have gone up i think these remain very decent value for money.
Harry Melbourne invented the beloved Freddo Frog in 1930 - Today Freddo is one of Australias most popular childrens chocolate.

The Lebanese labor ministry and the International Labor Organization (ILO) are preparing to conduct a national survey on the issue. Deputy ILO Regional Director Frank Hageman says there is no reliable data on the issue, adding that it is unrealistic to characterize all child laborers as foreign since many such workers are Lebanese.
A study conducted before the Syrian crisis found that there are around 100,000 children working in Lebanon throughout its governorates in the following percentages: North, 34.4; Mount Lebanon, 36.5; Bekaa, 13; South, 12; Beirut, 8.4; and Nabatiyeh, 6.
The aim of the new survey, according to Hageman, is to identify the exact number of children working in Lebanon [2], as well as the type of work, their employers, and number of hours worked.
Hageman says that the ratio of child labor in Lebanon is low in comparison with other Arab countries like Egypt and Yemen. [3]However, the situation has changed with the influx of Syrian refugees [4] into the country and the absence of political action to manage their problems.
Labor minister Salim Jreissati sees this as a problem compacted by the UNHCR's inability to "fulfill its obligations towards Lebanon in regards to Syrian refugees."
"We do not know the number of children exploited in the armed confrontations," Hageman explains. But he mentions "indications of trauma caused by such exploitation in children coming through the borders."
Not far from the Lebanese hot zones, media strategy expert Issam Azouri describes the situation of a child receiving $20 a day to throw a hand grenade or burn a tire. Jreissati gives another example: a young girl carrying a firearm [5] propped up by a gunman in Tripoli.
"Communities cannot exploit children like this. Decree 8987...prohibits the employment of young persons under 18 in jobs that can endanger their health, safety, or morals," Jreissati adds.
While the exploitation of children in armed conflicts is one of the worst forms of child labor, there are other types of exploitation. Fadi, for example, was a young boy employed by a taxi driver in his village to lure young children and violate them sexually [6]for LL5,000 ($3.33) a day. The story was discovered later by a literacy worker.
However, all attempts by a rights activist to follow up on the situation with religious authorities and police have failed. Today, the activist has lost track of what happened to Fadi and his young friends.
"Begging is nothing to be ashamed of," a 4-year-old boy tells Al-Akhbar. "In this country, there is no money, there is no work, and we are destined to become poor."

That's what I have experienced. Some people don't want to call it a flippy disc, but for me if I throw a teeshot anywhere close to flat, its gonna turn BIG time, and not come back.

Control driver. It has an extremely broad range of useful power for me, I can throw it from a standstill mostly flat and get a good flight but it is also a forgiving (for me) hyzer flip or turnover disc at full power. It has a decent amount of turn but it is easy to keep it on a hyzer for it's full flight. I throw 171g GL's mostly, the max weights are a bit beefy for my tastes.
Ryan C wrote:I always found the River to be sort of decent at everything, but not very good at anything. Ranging it was also a little bit tricky, since at 65-75% power, it just goes straight and fades (rather hard), but any more power than that and the thing has considerable turn. So I would always have to decide if my shot was going to finish left or straight, depending on distance.
Maybe when they get seasoned they hold a nicer anhyzer line, but for me they always wanted to fight out of it, unless I put a very steep angle on it. I think I was hoping it would be more like the Fuse of fairway drivers.
The real positive I can say is that it has awesome glide for any driver. I remember playing a tournament with an Opto River in the bag, after I'd only had the thing a couple of weeks. There was a shot about 350', with only about a 12' ceiling. I parked it with the River, while the others in my group seemed like they couldn't make it too far past the 300'-325' point. The shot actually looked freaky. Just gliding really low and slow. It a good disc, with great potential, but the behavior of its flight varies so much with very similar amounts of power. Just hard to predict for me. My fiarway driver of choice remains the Cyclone. While this disc does share some of the same characteristics as the River, I've found it to be more predictable, and a lot easier to range. Plus, they always finish left.
I've always favored discs that have a very similar flight shape at a wide range of powers, such as Buzzzes and PD's.
mattw wrote:For me its a work in progress. The only shot that I am having problems with is shorter anhyzers that are just out of range for my mid. When I lay off on the River it doesnt hold the anhyzer line all the way to the ground. I think with practice I can get that shot down but for the time being I still have a Leopard in the bag for those shots.
discspeed wrote:I too like versatile molds that behave similarly across a range of speeds. These are my bread and butter, they are my consistency. However, I also see the need to have more dynamic molds in my bag. I can do a lot with a Buzzz, but the Fuse does some magic for me that the Buzzz just wouldn't (that or the window to hit the kinds of shots I'm talking about is very small). I can't rip a Buzzz flat and high and have is slowly sail to the right and forward all the way to the ground. 9/10 times its going to either stall out and fade, or cut anhyzer too hard and not recover or go far enough. I would NOT want to have to use the Fuse as my main mid, or my main approach disc, despite the fact that I CAN make it do lots of lines. I have the Buzzz for that and it does a more consistent and predictable job.
I can say the same things about the PD and River. In my short time throwing a single River (2 rounds), it's clear to me that it can do some magic things that I can't do with a PD. I don't know if my River is different from some of the other posters' discs, but it is easy to get to hold an anhyzer, and it almost always comes out right before it hits the ground. Not enough fade to affect the anhyzer line, but enough fight/fade to make sure it is still a forward dominant flight. I'm probably going to be adding the River to my bag as my PD's dynamic partner for the magic when I need it. I don't ever see myself throwing it half as much as I use PDs, but those times where a PD definitely won't work, it's perfect. My River IS like the Fuse of fairway drivers. It is a yellow Opto that weighs 172 and is fairly domey.
This is kind of like the Kobe vs. Lebron debate...Kobe can explode for 30 points in a single quarter, but may go a half without hardly any stats. Lebron is steady and complete, if he's not scoring he's getting assists and playing tough D. Kobe is the dynamic one, Lebron the consistent one. If I had to choose one for my team, I would pick Lebron, but if I could have them both that would be the obvious choice.

McLaren to investigate tyre drama
McLaren will launch an investigation into the penultimate-lap drama that robbed
Lewis Hamilton of 18 valuable points in Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix.
Hamilton was poised for second place at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya after driving a faultless race until a suspected left-front tyre rim failure plunged the 25-year-old into a tyre wall.
It means Hamilton now heads into Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix 21 points adrift of team-mate Jenson Button when he might otherwise have been only a point down.
"For Lewis, it was just one of those days," said team principal Martin Whitmarsh . "He drove brilliantly, an impressively disciplined yet excitingly combative performance.
"He posted the fastest lap of the race on his way to what would have been a richly-deserved second place had he not been forced to retire within spitting distance of the chequered flag.
"The parts will now be meticulously analysed back at the McLaren Technology Centre. Until we've done that we won't be able to make any definitive statements about what we think it was that caused the problem."
Hamilton said: "This is my third or fourth tyre blow out in my career. More than most people have in their whole lifetime.
"There was no warning, the car felt great, so it was a surprise and a very disappointing end to the race.
"Up until that point it was pretty positive. I was just cruising to the finish line and heading for some great points.
"It was looking like a great job for us, but then it's never over until it's over."

There are a few things that anyone contemplating a cruise must consider before saying "Bon Voyage." The brochures make the thought of going on a modern day Titanic seem like one of life's greatest decisions … It's a no-brainer, right?
My wife and I went on an August cruise to Alaska's Inside Passage. We had some great times but there were also things we hadn't anticipated. First, we paid lots of U.S. currency to stay in a room half the size of a prison cell. Let's just say that child protective services would intervene on the welfare of our children if we expected them to live in a bedroom this small. The bathrooms were even smaller. I had to back out of the shower and turn around and then back in just to be able to wash my other side. The ironic thing was the shower had a safety bar. What was this for? There's no chance a person could fall in there, tilt maybe, but not fall.
Everyone raves about the food, which is good, but there's only so much one person can eat. I think Nathan's Hotdog Eating Champion Joey Chestnut would even yell, "No Mas!" The dining room is like being on a floating food buffet (with two major differences: the food is good and the people are dressed much nicer). I also thought it was ironic that most of the workers bringing wheelbarrows full of food were from third-world countries where their families were probably don't have enough to eat.
The brochures also don't warn you about the possibility of rough seas. Each morning the ship offers a forecast for the wave conditions which are classified as calm, wavelets, waves and rough waves. The last condition kind of counteracts the appeal of the all-you-can-eat food.
Then every time the ship docks into a port you're encouraged to take an excursion. One of these trips offered to fly you to a glacier so you could walk on it. Boy, nothing that excites a Minnesotan more than paying an additional $500 to walk on a big piece of ice.
My wife and decided to take the "Goodtime Girls Walking Tour" in Skagway. It was an old mining town that had once run rampant with miners and brothels. The trip ended with us stopping at the home of some 70-and 80-year old ladies who worked in that specific trade. I figured that they would tell stories of days gone by, but turns out they were the world's oldest exotic dancers. I guess they made some bad investments in the 1990s. Turns out Beanie Babies didn't hold their value like everyone thought they would. I heard that if you did stay for the bloomer dance, then you were offered a 10 percent discount if you presented your AARP card.
We also went on a dog sledding tour, but that will be an entirely separate column. We did debate whether or not to go on a Whale Watching Tour. If I wanted to see whales, all I had to do was sit outside the buffet and watch fellow cruisers walk out, and I also wasn't very excited about going from a large ship (that I was sick of sitting on) to a smaller boat, especially when I heard that they offer snacks like herring and kippered snacks. Wouldn't that be considered whale bait? Is it really a good idea to anger Moby Dick when you're in a watercraft half his size? I don't think so.
If you do decide to go on a cruise after reading this, enjoy yourself, but also consider yourself warned.
