Oh, absolutely! :happy: I completely forgot about those exquisite mosaics. Part of the reason is that many times (when I've visited the MK) they've had those corridors blocked off. Maybe I was just there near show times or whatever, but I think it's been at least a few years since I've seen those. I recall years ago that they always had the castle open for people to pass through, or maybe I was just lucky and was there at the right times. I used to also love the "original" gift shop inside; they used to have cool stuff in there.

They usually block it off from the front, but, not the back for a performance. Been in there several times when it was like that. :)

Reason why I should not be allowed to write papers (particularly ones about Disney or Frozen).

Professor: I'll read longer papers, but about 3 pages or so is fine.

It's currently at 9 pages, double spaced, not including title page, table of contents, and reference page. And I still have one section to switch the spacing to double (I do this to keep track of which sections are finished and which are not) and two small sections to write.:jawdrop::facepalm:
You only do this when its Disney or Frozen related?

I usually pass the minimum by good 4-5 pages in all my tests.
Good grades ftw!

I forgot to take photos because I was either busy on the grill, or devouring the results :hungry:

Anyway, chile relleno = A chile poblano which as been cleaned from inside (no seeds) and filled with cheese.
looks like this,but filled with cheese: https://muerdecabras.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/asado.jpg

The chuleta is a type of cut with a long bone and grease with great flavor. they do look like porkshops (http://www.cubanbeansandrice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/porkchops.jpg)

Alitas, are .. easy to guess..Chicken Wings. something like this: http://www.pampagrillcatering.com.ar/images/alitas-de-pollo-asado-ahumado.jpg

That's a whole lot of deliciousness there!

I am the worst cryer! Weddings, funerals, baptisms, confirmations, regular Sunday service, movies, and every time I vote.

I cried at Cinderella, for Pete's sake. Two separate scenes. Both times I saw it.
Does that make Cinderella a four hankie movie? :hilarious:

I might also have been known to shed a silent tear or two during Titanic.
Or great hiccuping sobs. Whichever.
hold on, you .. cried.. when going to regular sunday services? o_O

I know we all cry when voting..
because we're in fear about how awful our life are going to be.. because all the candidates are downright depressingly stupid.

That's 'cause you're not married.
Most sitcom wives are downright mean!
Probably because most sitcom husbands are written as idiotic buffoons.
Nor do I have any desire to be. But I don't think that has much to do with it as my mother has been married nearly 30 years and does not feel that way about them. Ditto on my father.

IMO, they aren't mean; they're strong. If you put a strong male lead with a weaker female lead or one that doesn't stand her ground, the man is just going to come off as a bully. You really don't want that.

yes, well... like smoked with charcoal.
I apologize but my brain aint working very well, been unable to sleep correctly these last days..
I type worse in english when I'm all groggy.
Don't we all?
No worries. Most of us are very impressed with your grasp/use of the English language. More so once we discovered that you were self-taught!

Yes, I always tear up during regular Sunday services. Put me in God's House for any occasion, and I am most likely going to cry.

I cry a bit when I vote, because I feel so grateful for the privilege and freedom to choose the crook who is going to pick my pocket for the next four years. Plus, the advanced polls (I always vote in the advanced polls) are mainly held in the Anglican Church nearby.

P.S. - Just kidding about the crook thing. I am grateful for the freedom to vote, and am ever mindful of the sacrifices that tens of thousands of beautiful young men (and their families) made to afford me that privilege. I am always humbled in that voter's box, and am honoured to be a citizen of this great country.

Oh yeah, I choke up during the playing of O Canada too.

Agree to disagree.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. My Mom said when she was little they had a laundry tub and an electric wringer with a double roller that they sent their clothes through before they hung them to dry. With 12 kids in the family they were taught to wash rinse and wring/hang their own clothing at a young age. She was pretty young when she didn't wring something correctly and her hand and lower arm went through the wringer.

Ouch!

Grandparents on both sides had detached washhouses on the farms. At one time, both had hand cranked washer wringers, and also would wash certain clothes in big kettles of water over fires out next to the washhouse, then take them in to wring them out before hanging on a clothesline to dry. :)

You haven't read far enough to where I say my paper on Amazon.com was longer, 15 pages. I wrote one last semester about the 1918 flu pandemic that was 14 pages (and I could have gone on; there was a LOT of info). I do it with everything where I try to be as through as possible.

Still, something being long doesn't necessarily mean that it's good. If it's long and complete, that's one thing, but there is something to be said for being concise.

And some professors don't really want to read too much, so they would rather that you have shorter essays.

A couple of weeks ago, I was trying to write something for Spanish. I was super tired, but didn't think it would be an issue.

The next day I looked at it and was like, :eek:. Had so many dumb mistakes.

When you're tired, writing in a foreign language becomes almost impossible. Heck, if you're tired enough, your native language is challenging.

Me too and something I never noticed before is that there are skylights as you walk in. I saw it on someone's youtube channel.

Would that be called a skylight or an opening for the tree?

We just call those "open skylights" as opposed to regular "skylights" that have glass, plexiglass, etc., in them. :)
