I love trying to explain how exciting Pong was to my kids. They look at me like I am nuts. Which may be a little true.

Stay safe, @betty rose . I just had to pick DD up from the pool. I thought it was weird because her text said storm, and it was blue sky here, not a 10 minute drive away. It seems to be blowing in from the South east. Although, the sun is coming back out, I keep hearing rumbles.

what so special about Dysons anyway?
I also keep seeing that " Dyson" joke related to the Terminator 2 movie.
Where the black scientist is all sweating and they mention " Dyson" .

wow, sounds like you had your adventure!Yep, waaaaayyyyyyy too short. It really needed to be at least a week. But, as I posted previously, we were thankful just to be able to make it happen at all.
I was gonna' post about how the move thing went last night, but, I was too wiped out by the time we got back into town at about 10p...
Anyway, Friday while at the coast, DWifey got a call from her mother (she lives with my BIL and our niece) saying that the closing on the house was delayed and that they would not be moving in until next weekend. We assumed BIL was just gonna' pay some weekly rate to keep all the stuff on the trucks 'til then.
Awesome for us! Now, we can check outta' the condo on Saturday morning, and piddle around in town for a bit before heading home, which we did.
Fast forward to about 10a Sunday (yesterday) morning...
DWifey gets a call from her mother asking where we are. WTH?!?!?!
Apparently, what MIL left out of the Friday phone call was that BIL still needed us to come down yesterday to unload everything int o a storage unit, instead...!
I'm leaving out some details, but, by the time we got ourselves (DWifey, myself, an our SIL) all set to go it was about noon. 3+ hour drive to Houston begins. When we got there, he was waiting for us at the storage place with all of the stuff off the trucks (still forgot to ask who helped him with that part, but, there is no way ay he did it by himself - plenty of stuff took 3 of us to put in the storage unit), and about 1/2 of it already in the unit.
I took one look at the stuff still out and how the stuff he already in there was packed. NO WAY IN H**L was the rest of all that carp gettin' in there. so we started to pull things out and rearrange.After 3-ish more hours in the hot, humid, Houston sun we re finally doe and officially wiped out.
We dropped him off at the hotel and started heading back only to run into the craziest horizontally blowing rain storm for about 10 miles. Road construction barrels were being blown over and into the lanes, so a traffic snarl ensued. Finally, and thankfully, after getting through all that, the rest of the drive back was uneventful, and as I posted up there, we got back into town about 10p. Done.
OK gang, gotta' fly...
Have a Magical day...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

That's the name of the scientist, although not sure about the joke.
As for what makes them special, all I know is they've outlasted most of the other vacuums I've ever bought.

Pretty sure that appliances forced quality reduction to push the annoying forced "replacement cycle" . That forces customers to purchase a new one than fix them.
Because.. I swear.. the new washing machines start to fall apart with corrosion in 2 years! not like the 10+ years of the older ones built in the 70's 80's.

Well, I have now done what I swore I would never do.
I walked into Starbucks and ordered a Starbucks product. In WDW. I was initially against even bringing Starbucks to WDW, but their Epcot location is really nice and doesn't even feel like Starbucks. But now I'm wondering, what happened to me?
They can make their lattes with coconut milk here.

You're delirious from all the extra oxygen you're not used to!

I have a couple of EPCOT questions for you. Supposedly they opened a kiosk over by Test Track called Taste Track. It was advertised as going to have grilled cheese sandwiches, soups and salads. I've never see it listed in the dining section of the Disney website. Do you know if it is there? If it is, did you try it?
Have you checked out the breakfast at the Garden Grill? I'm wondering what it is like...

I vacationed many times to Mexico and had a very nice time, always in the dead of winter up this way so tropical was wondrous. Still as my Sis can attest too this year after having her passport stolen at their resort in Mexico there were places she didn't go by herself over those 4 days without a hired escort. Not dramatically different than here though. Trust me there are areas of Chicago I won't drive through let alone visit and when we've been in NOLA our van to the and from the airport took us through some areas to pick up passengers that I don't care to ever see again. Me, never been more scared than I was in Georgia when MLK was killed. Likely most of the world has these pockets. Still there is no reason to be insensitive or tacky.

Although allergies are a serious subject, it did remind me of something amusing; and it is 'somewhat' related to this discussion.
I don't know if it's a "barber" shop thing, but both my father (years ago, God rest his soul) and now my husband both use barbers for their hair cuts (no fancy hair salons--small, independently-owned barber shops). Along with the cheap prices, sports magazines, and no frills atmosphere, the barbers always had free peanuts for their customers, while they were waiting. (Guys like peanuts.
) By the way, there isn't one beauty salon that I've ever been to, that offered peanuts. 
Nothing has changed in this regard at the barber shop where hubby goes, but I wonder if some other non-restaurant establishments put any sort of sign in their window, if peanuts are inside? Something I'd never give a second thought to before; but maybe a heads up (no pun intended) to customers, just on the outside chance that someone has an allergy. The barbers could still keep providing peanuts, but at least a new customer with an allergy, could make an informed decision from reading the sign, and go elsewhere.

Thanks , Figgie. I just love being on this blog. There is something each day that brings a smile to my face. (Including your comment).xoxo I know you've been up for a long time. How is your day going?
Well, you and @figmentfan423 bring a smile to our faces, too!! Come to think of it, most members of the entire WDW Magic forum, itself, do that! There's so many good people; that's why I come back here every day.

Although I will admit that "South of the Border" relies heavily on stereotype representation, it was never meant to offend anyone and was more focused on the south of the border (being just south of the NC/SC border) situation then a slam on the Mexican Public. In fact, since it is allegedly Pedro that is running the place it is way more of a identity of Mexicans as business people. I never thought of it as an insult or an insensitivity to Mexico or it's people as it never really mentioned other then implication that there was Mexican influence and even then it was positive influence of clever entrepreneurial abilities of someone named Pedro. It was done with humor, it never put down anything Mexican even though it might have touched on the broken English that is a reality not a forced perspective. They were just funny and served a very commendable purpose of breaking up the monotony of interstate travel. In my humble opinion if anyone takes offense to it they are looking for something to be offended about.
To me it is no more offensive then when you consider that Fantasyland might be construed as something offensive to people with mental and reality disorders.

If your box mixes are anything like ours there will be variations on the side to alter them to lighter cake versions or chewy and gooey the way I like them. Good luck.
