You don't know what's under my stuff!

That is my point... with or without the "confining" undergarments every one knows what I have under my stuff. Stuff like that is hard to hide.

Spoiler

OK, now everyone stay completely away from the double entendre possibilities that I left open in this post. Just read the words, don't try to analyze them. Hopefully, I didn't just do that again!

@StarWarsGirl95...
Any update regarding your step grandfathers health?

I was wondering too. I will hope for the best!

Just heard from my grandmother. She says he is doing better and that it was allergies. The doctor also reminded her that he is 98. We've been used to him seeming and acting much younger for years (he was riding his bike several miles a day when he was well into his 90s; he only recently gave that up). Hard to see his body betraying him now.

Not a what, a where! Port Orleans. Riverside or French Quarter, I'll take either.

oh.. I never see them used individually as "PO". more like POR and POFQ.

definitively is for me!

ITS NAP TIME!!!

Sympathy like. I am glad in this case it is just allergies.

Yup. Mentioned before he's a WWII vet. Surprisingly, he's also in better shape than my biological grandfather, who is going on 80 (and has MS, which has worsened recently), and has been for a long time. It's taken him this long to develop many problems. We're hoping that, so long as he's not in any pain, he still lives for a few more years.

I hope @catmom46 is having the most magical time and feels no need to check in here, but make a full TR when she gets home.

It's funny cuz I do feel weird not checking in as much lately! I'm at Trader Sam's now, enjoying a quick drink and app before dinner at Kona Cafe.

Out to see the 2nd Minion movie, kids except for one, says it 's the best. I love 60's music, so...for me that's a hard act to follow.

Just got back from watching Minions and the 60s soundtrack is awesome. We loved the movie.

Went to Vegas one year. We decided to walk down the Strip, I could feel the heat through my shoes! I wasn't expecting that. Hubby's work took him all over, DD and I went with him during summer breaks. I never went back to Vegas, just too hot for me. It was back in the day when they were trying to bring in families. MGM had a small amusement park. It's been taken out.

Haven't been to Vegas in years, but I have been there 4 times. I visited between March and early May, and I thought it was very nice. I'd never go in the summer though; it is a desert, after all.

I listened to it yesterday.
I bought the CD of all the attraction/ride music last year. Love it!

I feel a little sad every time the PoC track comes on, knowing that it will be closed for our upcoming trip. Last November we rode it 7 times. Even in its current state, I enjoyed every ride through.

Now to find the in-park music CD. I love the different music as you traverse from one land to the next.

Isn't it just amazing all the different "layers" of entertaining things there are at WDW. People usually focus on the rides, some of the shows, landscaping (especially in Epcot) some meet and greets, etc. Then there's the music playing in the background . . . it has a subliminal effect on us all. The music contributes so much to the overall experience, and it's easy to forget sometimes, just how much of an impact it makes.

I think some of my favorite background music has to go back to my first trip to WDW, in the mid-80s, with my mother. I recall one evening we were walking past Spaceship Earth, and I heard that incredible space-age sounding, background music. Between the dark nighttime sky and the twinkling lights as we headed for the exits, I felt like I was walking along in another galaxy!!

Size changes are the reason they stayed in the closet for so long. I really dislike buying clothes, so I never get rid of them. Now that I have lost weight many of those old ones fit again, but, now I have a closet full of large clothes. I may just send those to good will.

I can wear some older clothes, too, but only if they have a lot of stretchy elastic in them! (I've put most of them out of their misery over the past few years, and donated the ones in decent shape to Goodwill.)

Somehow, I just knew that you two would! Glad you had fun watching the movie!

I'm trying to adjust to feeding 3, and that would be my light eater. No one to pick up the slack! Got a little sad Sunday thinking in about a year, this is how all of our dinners will be.

I guess you'll be having leftovers.

Clothing store closer time, again...!

I'm pretty darn claustrophobic. I'm fine with going up in an elevator, just don't let the elevator break down. One of the worst experiences I've had is that Egg contraption to ride up to the top of the Arch in St. Louis. My BFF had to pretty much slam me back into the egg to go back down. It has been a long time since I've been on Mission Space but I certainly didn't enjoy the closeness of that attraction. Fortunately I hated the experience and that over rode the claustrophobic stuff. I was last on the ride before any adaptations happened. Still not going back.

Yep, I remember one of the partners (and others) talkin' about how he was all "HTH!!!" when they closed the doors and everything came right up to his face.
We too rode before any adaptations, and I've always loved/liked it, but, I wish they would, at least, come up with different versions.

If you like a dark drink, have you tried chocolate Ovaltine in milk? It's delicious.

Pass.

My step grandfather was also in WWII (yes, he is still alive. 98.) I have never once heard him talk about it, and he married my grandmother long before I was born. I don't even know where he was. I think it was so traumatic for them that to talk about it, even 70 years later, is too much for them to bare

I too find the first part of 20th century american history very fascinating. The 50s especially was such a cool decade (Possibly explains my fascination with Back to the Future...)

Yep, many still won't talk about it.
But many others will. Seems as they're approaching the inevitable, many are becoming more willing to do so, at the risk of losing too much of that history before they pass.
That was how the WWII vet I worked for at the go-kart track back in HS thought about it. He was already in his late 70's back then.
