Last year right before our trip my dh and I needed to renew ours and my older ds got a picture ID. We were in and out in under a half hour. I hope you have the same luck. We were there at rope drop

Our local AAA office does some registry services. It's so much nicer and easier than going to one of the actual registry offices. As long as you're an AAA member, you can use these services. I don't know if this perk is offered in all states though.

@Gabe1 , I recall as a kid, wearing those stupid bathing caps in our local Y pool. (I swam a lot as a kid.) Not only did I hate those (they were too tight), but the water still managed to get inside, and your hair would still be soaked. I think they made us wear them to keep some hair out of the pool drainage system. Apparently nowadays, they've come up with better filters or whatever for pools.

I might be getting a copy of Cars on VHs soon. Fingers crossed!

I wonder if most people are just shopping online and stores are just decreasing their in-store merchandise.

That's what I am thinking.

So do you remember the days when girls had to wear bathing caps in a swimming pool?

or....

or remember home playground equipment that you tried to tip over as you aged?

or the days of McDonald's having ashtrays?

or do you remember Mr. Whipple. Swear Taylor of Gilmore Girls was inspired by Mr. Whipple.

or remember trying to stuff these hotel keys into your pocket or attaching a large Diaper Pin to the key set and attaching to your pool towel?

Yes to all the above. I only wore a swim cap to swimming lessons-never after that. Loved the ice cream. We got that at school on special days. The wooden spoon made it taste better. lol We had one of the swings. My favorite! My sisters and I would have fights over who got to sit in the seats. Since there were three of us, one had to stand up.

@donaldtoo check out this review of the new Polite Pig restaurant in Disney Springs. I thought of you right away because of your love of BBQ and on the menu there are crispy brussel sprouts (there is picture of them in the review) which you would love too.

Thanks! I was wondering if they were there yesterday.

So, Yesterday started as a nice day. And then we got nailed not once, not twice, but four times by torrential down pour, thunder, lightening, and hail. During one, my DH called. He works a few towns over, and didn't know what I was talking about. Street flooded, make shift pond open for ducks. And, as an added bonus, I now have a coyote roaming about, at 4 in the afternoon. It looked like he was stalking a particular yard. So, need to be mindful of that with our pup.

@Gabe1 Did you get a hit, or miss?

And for good measure, right now, 48, real feel 42.

Oooh Sympathy like. Hope the weather improves and the coyote goes from whence he came. We are 80 today with bright blue skies.

That was a sympathy like. And a promise not to mention our weather here.

Mmmm.. Just saw the menu. I could make a great meal out of a lot of those sides. Check it out @figmentfan423 .

Enjoy your lovely weather. And, I suppose I have something to look forward to. Just no more rain for awhile, please. I have puddles on the lawn I have never seen before. Might not be able to step on the grass in back for a few weeks, at least. That is, if it gets a chance to dry out. The ducks are loving it, though.

I remember it all. I had the ice cream cups with wooden spoons at summer camp. Loved the chocolate/vanilla mix.

My favorite is ink, markers (from order of lightest to darkest when drawing), and colored pencil for highlights and accents (no numbers )...!!!

And, no...I didn't do this rendering...

I just love sleeping in

Sleeping in? What's that?

FB is banned in my house. My older ds for obvious reasons and different obvious reasons for James

No FB in my house either.

I liked those potholders too and they even washed nicely. 2 years ago at a Church Christmas craft show I bought 12 of them from a young woman who was cognitively challenged. Her aunt was a crafter and she also had on the side of the table a massive pile of potholders for $1.00 each. I questioned the price and the Aunt said she was delighted to make and sell them and earn her own pocket money and they always sold quickly and that made the young woman so happy. So I bought a dozen.

How sweet of you, Gabe! I love doing stuff like that, too!
And, I'm sure it made her aunt and that young woman very happy...!!!

We got a lot of intermittened rain I here, wasn't home. I unfortunately when all heck broke loose was in route with my DD to Woodfield. There wasn't any storms forecasted for that area so off we went and almost made it. I was about a mile south of Woodfield, wind, rain so hard the first drops that hit my windshield were the size of a silver dollar-then then hail. I tried to pull over into parking lots but out of nowhere the right lanes were raging rivers. Eventually I pulled into an office lot and parked under a tree to deflect some of the hail. When it was done the streets were rivers and there were ponds all over the area. All I could think was 'this is the meaning of FLASH FLOODS."

I'm having one of those days where I strongly identify with the cat in the cartoon at Sci Fi "The Cat Who Hated People".
