We are at my Mom and Dad's eating a traditional Good Friday meal and yes @MinnieM123, I played with Bubba. My mom and Dad's dog, Chloe is a cross between a Schipperke and Jack Russell. She is another dog I got from a nurse friend.

And milk, of course.

One sandwich is not quite enough.
One and a half, is three bites too many.

Not just milk. Chocolate milk.

Anchovies?! Is it really good? My brother always ate his pizza with them.

FYI - Cinderella is even better the second viewing.

We are definitely planning to buy it on DVD for multiple viewings.

Remember to make sure they hold the blizzard upside down to show you how thick it is. If they dont, they are supposed to give you a free blizzard. At least that's what the national commercial said.

I hadn't heard this about the blizzard. I will have to remember it though as I plan to try for the salted caramel truffle blizzard again next week.

I love them!
I always save a few on the side to finish the meal.

Here, liquor is only sold in gov't owned and run stores - the LCBO.
Beer is available from a huge conglomerate, aptly called The Beer Store; as well as independent micro-breweries selling their own brand. There is a law, I kid you not, that mandates that beer, even on sale, cannot be sold for less than a "buck a beer". That being said, a 2-4 will run you about $40 generally.
Wine is sold through the LCBO, and independent wineries.

Nanny State.

We have a LOT of microbreweries and wineries down here (yes, wineries here in Texas). Many of both, that have produced award-winning product.

Not familiar with what a 2-4 is...?

In Canada, we call a case of beer a two-four, as in 24 beers.
The first long weekend of the "summer" is coincidentally called May Two-Four.

Leave it to Canada... take something simple like a Case of Beer and call it a Two-Four. Sometimes one just has to wonder!

Ahhh, thank you!

Woof! $40...

Fredericksburg!

Yep, many over that way!
And, our firm designed one of the wineries just outside of Fredericksburg. When it was finished the whole office went on a tour and we all took home free bottles of wine.

You are lucky. I have not been 98 pounds for a long time. Actually, 98 pounds is probably not a good weight for me, but anyway...

I weighed too much in middle school and the beginning of high school. I vowed never to let myself get that way again. So far, except when I sprained my ankle and could not exercise at all, I've kept that vow. Even after I sprained my ankle, I put on 20 pounds but then lost it.

That is determination. I put on a little weight when I broke my foot and I couldn't exercise. When I was able to walk again I didn't put on any more but the bit I had gained didn't come off on its own. That was the first time I ever had to watch what I ate to make it go away. My goal is the same as yours vowing to never let that happen again.

None at our local Walmart.

Did you check in the foreign import area? That is where ours are.

is it worth to pay extra 40 USD per day for the universal view?

This was what I looked out my window at, the bay is beyond beautiful. I was in the building in a suite right next to the white tower overlooking the bay.

While the parks and CityWalks food prices are what I have come to expect, dining at this resort was very very expensive even for the simple things. We learned for the most part to get coffee, juice and bagels at the store which is just off the left of this photo and have breakfast at the tables around the bay in the morning and dine at CityWalk or in the Parks. When I stay here my food is comp'd as I am on a convention, the family is out of pocket.
