The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Ugh! My allergies kicked up again and so have my DDs. She was doing that coughing thing so bad this morning I think she pulled some muscles. Good call skipping the meeting, you know your own signs.

I go home if I need Benadryl. It makes me so groggy that it's not safe to drive with it in my system. A lot of times, I'll take it and immediately head home so that I'm home when it's really hitting my system hard.

On the bright side, it is like a miracle med. Asthma cleared up right away after I took it. But the entire day, I felt like I was breathing in chunks of whatever was in the air.

@MinnieM123 You wanted to know what I got on that assignment where I streamlined the FP+ booking process.

Perfect on the assignment. Professor said I should send the suggestions to Disney. Not that I'm going to because I've been on these boards long enough to know I'd basically get a form letter in response, but anyway...

and still do not get it.. I'm braindead on this lol

I really hope someone has PM'd you by now...!

A glass?!?! In my house we call that an appetizer.

In all seriousness, have a great time.

We're going to an event this Friday night at the Long Island Aquarium called Fish and Sips where they have like 20 or more wineries with booths. They give you a glass at the door and you sip all night. So, I guess on Friday I'm just having "a glass" of wine too.

Have a blast and have at it!
Remember, I've got greenhouse livers if y'all need a couple.

 

[donaldtoo]

Goodness, you get to sip all night? You'll definitely be sleeping with the fishes! Sorry, had to crack that joke.

 

[donaldtoo]

Wouldn't it though??!! Of course, if I were to meet him, I'd probably stumble over my words, trying to say something that sounded intelligent and welcoming. (I'd fail . . . )

Reminds me a little of an old Rogers and Hammerstein's TV version of Cinderella (Lesley Ann Warren played Cinderella). I always thought it was funny when the wicked stepmother was trying to "coach" her two ugly daughters about how to catch the eye of the Prince, in the castle ball. She said (something to the effect of) , "Now tell me, what fascinating opening line have you prepared for the Prince?" And of course, the daughter would say something lame like, "Lovely weather we've having, Your Highness." And the disgusted wicked stepmother would storm off saying, "Work on it!!!"

I'd probably blither out something about the weather, too. I get shell shocked in front of celebrities . . .

Hahaaa...!
I remember that show with Lesley Ann Warren.

I've never mingled with enough celebs to have ever been shell shocked.
Although, I do have a nice pic with myself and Craig T. Nelson from a Legends of Golf tournament Celebrity Pro-Am from way back in the day here in Austin.

I haven't gotten called in yet, but here they only call you in about every five years at most. My mom got called two years ago and the last time she had gotten called, she got out of it because she was nine months pregnant with my brother.

What I don't get, here at least, is why they insist on keeping you when there's either no way 1. you would get chosen or 2. you would be able to fulfill the obligation. I had a teacher one time who had to argue with them because they wanted to place her on a jury, and the case would have taken weeks and weeks. She told them, "Look, if I can't be with my classes, this is an issue." They let her off, but still. They've also kept both of my parents there 9-5 recently. With my dad being an attorney, no way would either of them get picked, so what is the point other than wasting their time? Yes, it is a civil duty, but still.

^^^^This. Civil doesn't equate to logical or efficient. We are talking about the government, ya know. End of rant.

I did, although haven't gotten a response, so I hope he's not in shock.

Awww, so cute!! I just want to wrap you up in a snuggly blanket!

I used to love watching Iron Chef! Such a great show. Definitely a good plan not to plan much else the same day you'll be at DTD. Although I thought you'll have your car?

We always have a car as we drive down. Disney music for the adults and Disney movies for the kids the whole way down. Currently we have 2 days put aside for DTD and pool time

 

[Figgy1]

Where is everyone today? It's so quiet I can here crickets around here.

I did some morning errands and I had a full house in the afternoon

 

[Figgy1]

Just wanted to say thank you to you all for letting me be part of your little thread and for being kind. I have really enjoyed coming here and you brighten up my day. I often feel isolated from other people because we live far away from friends and family, so it's nice to have people just to chat with.

Awwwww shucks blushing all over xoxo

That sounds fabulous I'm so jelly!

Remember, no swimming in the fish tanks when you've been drinking.

But mom......... That's what my ds says when he sees the divers in the tanks in the Seas. He wants to take lessons just for that. Another sticker shock moment in my life.

 

[Figgy1]

So I had some great news this afternoon. My jury duty is cancelled!!!! YEE--HAAAAAAAAAAA!!! (In MA, if it's cancelled, they can't call you back for another year.)

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quiet night! Had heavy rain come through for a few minutes and now it's calm here. Supposed to be getting more rain and heavy wind gusts and possibly snow....

Sympathy like
