Just got done making my Disneyland park reservations!!! I actually booked flights and a hotel a couple weeks ago, being hopeful that Disneyland would open to non-California residents by July. I wonder how much prices have jumped now for flights and hotel now that Disneyland will be open to all.
Is that Daisy Duke’s cousin, Minnie Duke...?!!!!!

It was nothing of major consequence.
It was just one of those posts that makes you roll your eyes, then shake your head and LOL. I chose to post the gif here so as not to offend or fuel the member. It was also pretty much political, so I prefer not to refer to it.

We had some hefty thunder and lightning storms last night. Lights off in the bedroom watching TV around 9 PM, and these bolts of lightning flashes came through the window and lit up the room!!We had to give Jack some of his doggie tranquilizers (vet prescribed them), as he freaks out in those types of storms. So, he was out like a light on the rug, snoozing, while I was the one freaking out!
Good thing is that the storms last night also took away the humidity (it was just one day of that), and we're good to go for the next 5-6 days with more pleasant temperatures (50-70) outside.
As I’ve posted before, Belle-ee Crazy Cakes has those same tranqs/benzodiazepines
for just such weather...maybe you should try some of Jack’s...!!!!!!!

Our lockdown is easing next week. We'll be allowed 4 people per day as guests in our home, restaurants are opening, as are movie theaters. Schools are going back to every day in-person. Still nothing about travel, I don't think, but we probably won't chance it, even if it's allowed.

I think it's like anything else over a large span of time. Childbirth used to be extremely dangerous, but because of technology and new information, it's relatively safe today. We used to not have conveniences like refrigerators or ovens....things were cooked over a fire and you couldn't store food at cold temperatures, so food poisoning was a danger. It's all different today because of new developments. If we had known back when I was a kid that it was unsafe for kids to ride in the car without a seat or being strapped in, our parents wouldn't have done that, but we DIDN'T know, and we didn't have the seats? Our knowledge has grown so much that now we can be so much safer. Smoking was supposed to help lower blood pressure, but now we know it can cause cancer, lung disease, etc...Sounds like my childhood with minimal safety equipment, etc.
That said, it is good that newer safety guidelines were developed over the years. Even though we were lucky survivors as kids, I'm assuming that some other children might not have been so lucky. Hence, there was a need for more safety research, in regard to children. It's probably for the best.
It's like Maya Angelou said. You do the best with what you know, then when you know better, do better. That's why I value education so much. You can't do better if you don't learn better!

I like it just a bit warmer than that....it's supposed to be about 65 today and that would be just about perfect Disney weather for me...not so cold that you need a jacket, but also not so hot that you are sweating as soon as you step outside, and also not so hot that they have the AC cranked in the restaurants. We always freeze in the restaurants because they have them on so high! Even bringing a thick sweatshirt isn't enough.It's 54 outside now. Ahhhhh . . . refreshing coolness!!
E and I have talked about how we wish we could go to Disney in the colder period, like November/December. We'd love to hit food and wine, or the Halloween or Christmas parties, but we can't go at that time of year because of school. So as soon as she's done with school, we're going to take a mother/daughter trip. I also want to go for my birthday one year, but I think food and wine usually ends in November, so I'd just miss it if I went for my birthday....might have to take 2 trips!

Anyone else also do this silly move? I make a cup of coffee in the morning, and bring it over to the computer. Drink it slowly, so it takes a while before it's gone. That's o.k., but sometimes after I've finished the cup, I reach for the (empty) cup again -- as if there is still coffee in there. 
And then maybe an hour later -- I reach for the empty cup again!

And then feel sad when you discover someone has drunk your coffee .Anyone else also do this silly move? I make a cup of coffee in the morning, and bring it over to the computer.

Calgon, take me away!!
We're having a day. A had a major meltdown about school. Usually, most of their work is done during classtime. He never brings home homework other than things like book reports. When he started at the special education school, it was explained to us that they don't give homework because he wouldn't necessarily understand why he had to do something for school when he was home for the day. Schoolwork belongs at school. So he's not used to doing homework at all, but now because of Corona, they only go to school a couple of times a week and the rest is online. (Schools open up completely next week, though) This morning, he was complaining that Math was boring as was English because he already knew how to speak English and the Math was too easy. I also got a message from his teacher that he had the same problems yesterday when he was actually at school, and even the more challenging questions for math that they give him were still too easy. Math is one of his best subjects and he hates the repetition of things he already understands, but they have to do it because the other kids struggle with it, so they started giving him some extra stuff that was harder, but it's not enough. Not sure how they'll handle it, but they'll figure out something.
So then he got to his Dutch homework and he just blew up because he has to rewrite and improve a text, and also write his own text, and it's about something he doesn't care about and isn't interested in, and he thinks 350 words is SOOOOO much! I tried to explain that it seems like a lot because he's not used to doing any homework, but he says it's not fair because the kids who are at school today get to work together and have help from his teacher, but he's all alone and has to do it himself. He's refusing to do it. I told him homework is to give us practice so we get better at things and can do them faster, so while this seems like a LOT to him right now, if he practices, he'll be able to write 350 words a lot faster and it won't seem like so much anymore. He just started screaming at me that he shouldn't have to write texts all the time about things he doesn't care about and he already knows how to write, why does he have to do it again??
I wrote an email to his teacher about it....hopefully she'll have suggestions, because I'm at a loss. I told him to take a break and get something to eat and drink and try again later and he's saying he's not going to do it all!

Aren't copperheads a kind of rattle snake? We had a lot of rattlesnakes in Wyoming, but I couldn't tell one snake from another, so I just avoided them all. I know there are many different types of rattlers, and I know I grew up hearing about various snakes, copperheads being one of them, but I just don't remember if they are rattlers or not. I think we had diamond backs mostly.
