Two of the cups my son and I used today. The top one is from Rainforest Cafe and the other one is Disney.

Love 'em! Especially the one with the Spanish Monorail spiel.
That's another running fun thing in our family. My kiddos know I love it, and they will text me images (especially oldest DD) involving that spiel all the time...!

 

[donaldtoo]

what with these shirts, cups..etc.. that has the "stay away from the doors" in spanish?
I have no idea why they seem popular.

It's fun to say, and a classic little piece of Disney.

We tend to sell veggies on the side of the road, mainly tomatoes and corn, downstate melons. Jerky, no.

Yep, not just jerky here, either.
Vegetables, watermelons, peaches, cowhide furniture, etc.

I think that if I were Canadian (perish the thought) I would be lobbying to go back to Fahrenheit. 70 seems a lot warmer then 21 just mentally.

Ugh. Awful.

Side note: The Richard Petty Experience, either the drive-along or ride-along versions, are in stockcar, NASCAR-style vehicles. Last time I heard, the exotic cars are handled by a different company, but also share the WDW track.)

the cnn article says both are owned by the same company.

I'm hoping that sometime before it go to that big theme park in the sky, (yea, right) all those, scare agenda creators, will finally come to the realization that EVERYTHING we do, everything we eat, everything we touch or breath, from the moment of conception in varying degrees, will eventually lead to our death. And like quoted by Caesar, I think, they took the foil as the culprit when it was the leaving them out, wrapped up, that did the damage and it wouldn't matter what they were wrapped up in. Foil was not the problem... stupid was the problem. As it is with most things.

exactly!

anything left that many hours is instant bacteria breeding house!

Don't want to believe there was yet another college campus shooting.

From what I read.. It seemed more like a targeted murder and not a mass shooting.

A 65 year old woman in Germany is set to make history, becoming the oldest woman ever to give birth to a set of quadruplets. The thought makes me tired.

I hope the babies are witouth issues.

I read that The older you get, the higher the probability of autism or severe dysfunctions like Down's.

Can you imagine being 65 and having more than one kid with disability?

Is it just me or does Tiger Woods seem to have a never ending list of new medical issue excuses for his poor playing these days?

Well, it is likely that he sprained something with that shot. His arms and hands move very fast. The only one that, in spite of being a fan, makes me giggle is the "failure of his gluts to engage" episode. What a clever way to say... I just couldn't get my butt in gear.

In seriousness though, he didn't really put much emphasis on it, the media surely did, but, he claimed to have "fixed" that problem almost immediately. He also said that he wasn't unhappy about how the tournament went and he acted almost human all week long. Smiles, hugs, autographs... the works. It's a new Tiger, near the end of his career. I wonder where he will get money to pay his bills once he stops golfing. The old Tiger did win more though!

If you are referring to the one in North Carolina, afraid so. My daughter works for a college student funding organization and was just on campus for a business meeting on Thursday, last week. To close to home for my liking.

doesnt he has a fortune of 500+ million dollars?
unless he goes full "Pop Diva", he can live confortably for his entire life.

That probably is what he puts aside for parking meter change. Though he may have to skip an oil change or two on his jet.

The only light switch for the bathroom was located on the outside of the door. If you went inside without pressing the switch, you had to lean out to turn it on. Took awhile to get used to that.

That's just an accident waiting to happen.

I couldn't imagine having a baby at 65. No way Jose.

There was a time when they were designed that way for safety reasons. The electrical switches were outside because the theory that water and electricity do not mix, really has a basis of reality. They felt that the further they put them from the water the better. Not necessary any more with all the new switches that will shut down the current if water is exposed, (ground fault interrupters) but, it does have a historical design background.

Just shows that ship needs to be updated so our friends don't fall.

I've only been on one cruise, so correct me if I'm wrong, but, aren't the bathrooms very small and cramped and the actual possibility of water accidentally sprayed about is quite high. You really don't want those switches in there with you.

I don't know because I've never been on a ship because, to me, Titanic was not a romantic movie but a warning or premonition meant for me to stay on land. But yea, I guess you are right. However if the new system shuts off the circuit or whatever then wouldn't that new safeguard protect people?

Depends on the ship. I found the Disney Wonder's spacious enough, but then, I'm not that tall.
I think the shower was the most cramped part (on the Wonder).
