Ha! And I bet he is a gentleman, that was sweet of your Dad. :happy:

You have not been around the thread all that long to likely notice my odd word patterns at times, my
Gabe-isms. ManChild is what I have called my DS (on the forums and elsewhere and to him) since my DD was a toddler when I worked with a woman that referred to her son as ManChild and it stuck. A decade later when I heard the term on Gilmore Girls I loved it and laughed! DS is well well into his 20's, a term of endearment as he will always be my child though now a man but I do use the word ManChild for all male kids from time to time. I love the word. :inlove: The first time my DSs girlfriend heard ManChild she thought it was a hoot. Now when referring to my DS to me she too calls him ManChild when speaking with me. :D

Ok now I get it. It's funny I didn't remember that from Gilmore Girl. Like I said guys, I think I am hypersensitive due to girlie stuff. I don't mean to be a drag. I should know better than think people on this thread would be mean to me about my son. Like I said: hypersensitive. Now you get to see another side of me that's not so fun. I am sorry. Like at WDW, the ride has temporarily stopped and will resume motion shortly.

As you know, we ended up going to DAK - on the hottest day of our entire trip. Go figure.
Too hot and too many people for Hubby and Tam-Tam.

Of the three day-of FPP's we snagged, we didn't end up using any of them.
We did the Safaris on stand-by.

Not looking to cause a firestorm here, but I have to comment on something that transpired in line, directly in front of us.
A woman decided to walk through the queue and nurse her baby. And for that, I say good on her ... but seriously lady, how about some discretion?
I nursed my first baby for 9 months, and due to some serious issues, I 100% exclusively nursed Son #2 for a whole year. I am militant about a woman's right to feed anytime, anywhere. But when your whole breast is exposed and everyone can see nipple, I call foul! Nobody else seemed impressed, and the more stares and glances she got, the more she flaunted it. Also, baby was not a newborn who needed to be fed on demand, but a 2 year old who then walked the rest of the way after feeding.
YMMV, but I was not impressed. Kinda felt like she was just making a statement.
But I digress. I know Safari pics get old fast, so here are just a few:

And, while attempting to keep my camera always at the ready, but safely in the truck, I took this shot and five more just like it:

Ha! I have so many photo's of various body parts and scenery at WDW doing the same thing. They now make me laugh.

As far as the Mom nursing, yeah it does bring on lots of opinions. One of my oldest friends a guy had real issues with his older sisters first born nursing when Sis would (in the same manner as above) nurse her DD. His opinion is that a brother shouldn't see his sisters private parts.:jawdrop: My Mom wigs out anytime a women is nursing anywhere in public and as my Mom looses her filter with age, she will say something in conversation to us but meant to be heard in volume by the Mother nursing even if you can't see the child at all. Her era only 'backwards' people nursed in this country and we were not dogs. If you are going to do something like that you should stay home! :eek: Seriously. My sister had colic so badly and so many dairy allergies, that is a kid that should have been nursed. I have serious doubts that open nursing in public will ever not be 'noticed' around this part of the world. Politely and politically correctly accepted but genuinely noted by others.

Oh now I understand. See I never knew about the AK sign prank before coming on this forum so I had to study the picture for a bit to see it. That spurred my joke about being slow. I think I am a little premenstrual so I am more touchy. Bear with me, the hormones should level off soon. :) Or its more :mad: or :cry: right? :joyfull:

There is a promo today running for tonight's double-header movie night on ABC Family where they use the phrase in a specific tone that sparked memories of a song that I cannot get out of my head now. :cautious:

: O
Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
the other is gold.

Silver is precious,
Gold is too.
I am precious,
and so are you.

A circle round
it has no end.
Thats how long
you'll be my friend

Oh my goodness, scouting. :cyclops:

Gotta hand it to you--the voice of reason about this looney craze for 80% and 90% chocolate bars. They're just not sweet enough, and that kills all the fun. "Foodies" are ruining all the good stuff for us! :banghead:

I actually may need to try some of these.
The stuff my mother used to cook with back in the day wasn't actually horrible and didn't make me gag, it's just that I was a kid used to nothin' but sweet chocolate, and the unsweetened stuff really caught me by surprise. I remember liking the mildly sweet dark chocolate even back then. Also, my palette seems to be changing as I age. I like it all, but, if there is a variety bag around, I always grab the dark chocolate bars first. :)

Just heard the weather report for Friday morning: forecast is for a dusting, or up to 2 inches of snow!! YEA! I can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning to beautiful snow falling outside! :) (I've had my winter jackets, mittens, scarves, hats, and boots all ready to go for weeks now.) :happy: I'll give you an update in the morning. Stay tuned for exciting developments.

It was 30 at our house last night with a wind chill of 18. Supposed to get down to 24 tonight, breaking the previous record of 27 for this date. No snow predicted, and no word yet on how cool the wind chill might make my TSSFFBR tonight... ;) :)

ETA:
It's 37 here, right now.

Both of our DDs were in Girl Scouts for a combined decade, so you can bet I know that one. :geek:

Some merchandise pics:

I bought 5 of these. One each for Hubby, the three boys, and my nephew.

Excuse the wrinkles in the upcoming photos:

X2 - 1 for Hubby, 1 for Son #1

Can't seem to upload any more photos - keep getting a 404 error message.
I will try again later in a fresh post.

I bought this for Hubby last year, in light green.
He is going to give that one to Son #1, and bought the "Carolina blue" one for himself.

Hoodie for AS (Too funny because his real life initials actually are AS, but I digress.)
