Good morning all. What is your favorite ride? Mine is the Haunted Mansion. Enjoy your Monday!

Past or present...?!
I honestly have never been able to choose an absolute fave. Fortunately, there are still too many good ones to choose from...!

Thanks. Yep, it's been a rough week. He was supposed to come home today, but then got a fever again. He'll feel good one day and then the next, he has a set back. They gave him a walker because he's not strong enough to walk on his own, but they want him to practice with it at home, so now they are waiting until he doesn't have a fever. But all the IVs and such have been removed, so that's a good step.

Sympathy like.
As I am stil so far behind, I just now saw your post about Opa from the 19th, and jumped forward to see if there was an update.
So sorry to hear, but, so glad to hear about the good step.
Prayers for him and all of y'all.

The scary part is, thanks to globalization.. its probable that only a few handful of supercenters/centralized factories manage almost all the food of some countries.

It has been happening here for decades already. Not really any different than the Comcasts of the world. The conglomerates keep eating up the smaller firms. If you look at our grocery store chains they might have 100's of stores and yet that is only one Brand of dozens the Mother Company owns.

I don't want to clean my own resort room for a $40 gift card.

That is all.

back when the majority of the population used common sense?

Back in the day when companies had very little liability. It is still that way on Cruise Ships, very little liability at Sea, Maritime Rules. That is why only a couple Cruise Ships had Lifeguards. A couple years ago when the one boy almost died in a pool on a Disney Cruise Ship-it wasn't Maritime Rules cause the Ship had yet to leave port. Lifeguards now.

It changes day to day, but today I think my favorite is POTC. If I close my eyes, I can hear the music, and smell that smell. (Come one, you all know that smell I'm talking about.)

I do, indeed!
I still even remember it from my first trip to Disneyland at age 6, back in '68...!!!

 

[Gabe1]

hmm? what happened in Missouri?

OK! You are allowed not to know already you live in Mexico! I give you a link. It maybe tough to be a bug but it is tough to be a woman too. It is a flash back to the 1940's only it is 2017.

 

[Gabe1]

? Care to elaborate?

Yes. I will send you a link. You have a daughter. You'll likely care.

I came back to a nice little harvest. 4 green bell peppers, 5 little cherry tomatoes, and a few strawberries. Had to use some cilantro. With our cooler temps, it grew like crazy.

My cilantro, basil and chive are doing well.

It's mostly when I'm laying in bed or wake up and she's not there to cuddle that I really miss her. During the day, I don't think about it.

I miss being kicked in the tummy or the small of my back by my 100 pound of happy dog while he was in deep dream. He got a great deal of exercise while sleeping, those legs were always running.

 

[Gabe1]

What???!!!! That would be a bunch of carp.

Yeah...I certainly hope this bright idea gets royally flushed. I you have the stupid idea of evicting Figment by gosh at least pick an IP that is adored by most. They could really use something for little guys. I'm going to gag if they flip one more thing into a Princess theme. I wish they'd do a Car's or Toy Character Meal.

It's 10:30 pm on a weeknight and my neighbor just started mowing his lawn

 

[donaldtoo]

For that price, I bet they have a GPS locator hidden somewhere.

You'd think. But, if the renter is 100% financially responsible for the "loss", damage, etc., of the carriage, they have no need for the added expense.
And, it probably (maybe?) keeps the price down to a nice even minimum $300 instead of $350...?!

Whoa whoa whoa! Dial it back there, high roller!! The stroller rental is a reasonable $299!

Sympathy like.
WTH?!?!?! Does he have one of those LED lights strapped to his head...or is it a riding mower with headlights...?!?!?!
And, does he drink a lot...?!

Are you sure it's not $299.99...?

The shopping inside Mexico was amazing. Back in the day, I had difficulty choosing what to bring home as a souvenir. The whole atmosphere in there was so festive--especially at night, for some reason. China was nice, but didn't hold my interest like Mexico. Japan was always a favorite of mine--so far, they haven't wrecked that one.

I find useful things, non-Disney things at both China and Japan. I know one year I came home with Chinese

Soup Spoons

A fish ceramic fish grater that I had always wanted from around here, about $35 here, $7 in Japan pavilion-so I bought two. Mine is blue though

I've purchased lots of things in the WS over the years. I liked it cause not everything was Disney or Disney IP. Mexico I'm still collecting those ceramic skulls, fish, birds etc. but in the past I've bought some clothing items that were awesome and a very soft backpack.

My dh wants to go to RP next time we go to Orlando. getting the guys back to Disney may not be easy even more so now with VB open.

Royal is Pretty! I'd stay there. Planning Volcano for our next trip. Did you see they have 2 lazy rivers-one being a rapid? My kids watched the video and said they are glad they'd never have to guard that! Looks like so much fun.

 

[donaldtoo]

Sympathy like. My dh refused to try veggie burgers until we were someplace and I ordered one for him while he took the boys to wash their hands, long story short he eats them now

Got your links, and I honestly been noticing these kind of laws everywhere in the bible belt area.
These groups really love the "good ol' days". Which are only "good" for a tiny percentage of the population.
