Began preping for my 6-month move to Israel. Decided top priority of "must get" item is Apple Watch. If I order it now, I will get it in a week, just on time because I am leaving June 30. Also, I will need to pick an Israeli phone company and replace my iPhone's SIM card. Most cities in Israel have city-wide free wifi service, so I'll be able to call home for free using FaceTime.

And I'm still at my home town (Wellington, FL - a suburb of West Palm Beach)

I just peeked out the back window. Won't be leaving via car for a while. Garage apron has a lake around it down there. Still raining.

Sympathy "like".
Stay safe, Gabe!

When I took that pic of my food, the waiter asked me if I wanted a picture of me with my food. Embarrassingly, I declined.

By the way, has any one noticed that SIRI has been having a bit of an attitude lately?

SIRI?

Yah, the liability thing ruined diving boards (and even slides in many pools) for those of us who like to play on those things. When I was a kid, even the dinkiest motel you'd go to in the summer always had at least a low diving board and usually a slide, too. (That's why I asked her if there was a diving board at her pool, as I was hoping there were still a few places in this country that had them.)

Interesting. Both of our neighborhood pools still have a high and low diving board. One also has a tube slide, and the other has a kiddie area...

SIRI?

Yep. SIRI. She must be having a tough week or something...

 

[donaldtoo]

Nice pools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! They are, indeed!
We spent many an hour at both pools with our kiddos there when they were growin' up.
During the day, and movies and food on movie nights. Our neighborhood is pretty cool...!

Ads drive me crazy, too. But Madison Avenue knows they work, at least to a point . . .

The big thing in marketing is synergy. I find it very distracting when I want to just view a store's web site, and all these stupid ads pop up from "other" retailers, service companies, etc. on the top, bottom or sides of the web page I'm viewing. The ads have nothing at all to do with (for example, if I'm looking at dresses online), and may include ads for kitchen appliances, cars, vacations or even dating sites. All of it turns me off, and I refuse to ever click on those.

I don't mind ads on this WDW Magic forum, however, as it helps to support the forum and the great work of Steve and his moderators. That's different. So I just wanted to make the distinction between ads that I find acceptable (those on here) and those that are just nuisances on retailer's (and other) web sites.

Before I decided to go with architecture, I was considering a career in advertising.
The psychology behind it still very much interests me, but, I'm happy I took the route I did.

The nice thing about WDW is that there are many fun things to do and see, for children of all ages!! Thanks for taking us along on your vacation!!
