The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Absolutely. Your phrase, "more measured scale" stood out to me. You're right--DVC works very well for some; but ever since WDW has gone hog wild converting so many existing rooms over to DVC, in some beautiful resorts (especially the carnage now over at WL), it's just a major turn-off to me--and to others, if you read other threads about this topic.

I'm just amazed Disney thinks that there is that much demand for it.
Especially since I've heard that many of the perks aren't what they used to be, and there have been some upkeep and maintenance issues, etc.
But, They've obviously done their research, and believe there is and will continue to be demand.
Also, I don't mind them so much turning some (emphasis on some) existing rooms into DVC, but, what really bugs me are a lot of the new additions and how they affect the atmosphere/ambiance of the resorts...
The SSL Pizza Huts at the Poly, The "cabins" they tore up so much for to put at WL, that monster boxes on boxes on boxes thing at the GF, and to me anyway, BLT doesn't look as contemporary-cool as the Contemporary, and actually takes away from that complex.
Just MHO...

Lidocaine is what they gave me for a local anesthetic when I gouged two of my fingertips with a bow saw several years ago, and needed stitches. Watched the whole procedure and never felt anything but a bunch of tugging.
The scars are still there and both fingertips are still pretty much numb to this day.
Drat, that whole user error thing...!!!

I had lidocaine sprayed on before I got cortisone shots in my hip.

Do you remember these? Clackers. Instead of slamming each other they tended to knock you upside the head, mouth and eyes.

Or do you remember weaving pot holders?

Or remember washing your hair with Lemon Up? each bottle had the juice of a whole lemon.

So how many of you remember what this is?

Spoiler: what is it?

The teachers chalk holder for making lines or staffs on chalkboard

Or that guy's fashion statement

Tube Socks!

or do you remember Notes?

I loved that Lemon Up shampoo and conditioner!!! It was my favorite!!!

I'd have to be knocked out to get a shop in my hip. You're a braver woman than I!

They did a terrible job with the architecture of the DVC at CR. You would have thought they would have tried to match the original a little bit. They just don't go together.

Rain still stopped for now, but big impressive clouds. And a new weather alert for high winds. Did I mention that high winds only happen on garbage night/day?

How about Sequin Art?

You are a sick, sick, person.

Thank you. I work hard at that.

 

[MinnieM123]

You forgot to add extremely and maybe another sick or 2

I know you're jealous.

 

[MinnieM123]

What about paint by numbers...?

I loved paint by number. Not only that, I liked colored pencils by number--easier with colored pencils because I had more control over them, than a paint brush.

 

[MinnieM123]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wore flip flops today in the rain

Your feet must have been soaked. I would have left the flip flops at home and just walked barefoot, in that situation.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

You are doing a great job.

Funny story, the first time the doc said lay down on the table and face the wall so I wouldn't see the needle. Well he had it in his front pocket of his jacket and it was huge like a turkey baster! I faced the wall, he sprayed lidocaine while talking about Disney, I felt a little pressure and he kept talking and talking. I told him to give me the shot and he said he did...five minutes ago. I got to go home ten minutes later.

Just got back from havin' to have youngest DDs SUV towed. She had to park it in a Walgreens parking lot when it started to overheat on the road. Luckily, she keeps an eye on gauges.
The overflow tank was empty, so I topped it off with coolant, but the coolant didn't go down and start to circulate, and it started to heat up again. Most likely the thermostat.
Looked online while waiting for the tow truck, and the part is only about $40. Labor will probably be somewhere in the $200-$300 range, though...it's definitely not as easy to get to or replace as the one on my '71 Olds Cutlass...

Hopefully nothing more than that.
