LOL you are so young. The phone I just got rid of last year was a basic phone no keyboard, just the same buttons that are on land lines.

Yep, that's mine. No keyboard, works fine.

THERE IS A DRAGON IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CASTLE??

There must be an app. somewhere that replicates phone slamming.

If there isn't, you should pursue that...

at least its not CANOE TIME like it happened to @Gabe1 recently.
but better buy a poncho?

I was cleaning out a linen closet this week, a chore I never do. I decided to consolidate the poncho's again as we have a wide selection of these. I found several of the old yellow poncho's from both Disney MGM and the MK, a clear MK, some children's Disney Ponchos but my favorite find was my DD darker powder blue raincoat with Barney the Purple Dinosaur on it. As a preschooler she was way to short to wear a children's poncho without tripping over it so I bought her a rain jacket for Disney. She LOVED that Barney. Likely why I kept it. I stashed it right back in the poncho container. .

 

[donaldtoo]

Nah, it's just a rotary....

Holy carp.
Does it come with a dialing stylus...?!

 

[Gabe1]

The codes again in your images are wrong.
The ones failing have a different code and are not standard links to images.

I think you're doing exactly the same as donaldtoo. Copy and paste doesnt always work because the images are protected or do not let third party websites load them(hotlinking not allowed)

My best bet is use a tool like imgur.com to reupload the images to a hotlink allowed website.

I'm going to have to flip my laptop back to google. It somehow flipped itself over to Bing, wonder if that is messing with some stuff.

while I agree with almost everything, I disagree on the milk.

I bet a lot of vendors got sued by suehappy people, because the milk was expired in the stores(as in smelling bad).
so the thing was mostly health issued.

I don't mean it in the sense of the retailer. That needs to be posted. I won't buy one that is past or close to the date either. Why, because I want to have the time to use it before it does goes bad on me. What I'm saying is that I don't use a lot of milk, mostly in cooking. I have gone sometimes 2 to 3 weeks past the alleged expiration date. It smelled fine and worked wonderfully, it wasn't even starting to turn. However, I bought it when it was relatively fresh. It doesn't take very long to know when it has reached that point. That's all I'm talking about. People just dumping it, not based on actuality but on a date. Somethings you can't always tell, but, that is one product that makes its age known.

 

[Gabe1]

Yep, he kept downgrading it instead of upgrading it.
When I was there the other day, a mod still has to approve every single post.
And, there's only one mod , and he has a life. My posts didn't show up until they were approved by the mod at about 6p the NEXT night.
Ridiculous.

Yeah, the moderator has tried to overcome that. Some of us are pre approved members and our posts don't have to be moderated. Can't tell you when I was there last. Hard to have a discussion when posts are 24 hours apart. I bore to easily for that.

Yep, I do the same thing with eggs, you can tell when they are still fine immediately. I have gone to lactaid milk brand. I can usually purchase a quart that has an experiation date of 6 weeks after I purchase. Rarely do I ever finish a quart of milk around here, nobody drinks it, we cook with it.

Between me and my kid, we go through a gallon of milk every 5 days or so. Sometimes more.

Okay now to the part of my Paris trip you will have been waiting for....Disneyland Paris. The park was nice, it has been a little neglected and they are sprucing it up. My husband compared it to an Impressionist painting...pretty from far away but a mess up close. The food here was terrible at the quick service restaurants and better in the sit down restaurants. Some rides like Big Thunder and Pirates were in my opinion the best versions of the three main Disney Parks I've been too. Ask if you have any questions but I'll get some stuff posted today and post more tomorrow.

Love the Haunted Mansion, the City Hall looks like WDW train station.

I always fall asleep in front of the TV, last night I slept for an hour, then turned the weather channel and listened until midnight.

I'm pretty much the same way. 30 seconds after DWifey's head hits her pillow she's out.
It takes me quite a while to unwind, and I usually end up waking up from a doze to finally turn the TV off and hit the hay.

 

[donaldtoo]

I loved the old rotary phones, I loved hearing the click, click, click....

Hahaaa...!
This is pretty similar to the first phone (and the one and only phone in the house ) I remember us havin' when I was a kiddo.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I remember one year, taking home an end roll of paper, decorating it and wrapping Christmas presents with it. No printing on the end roll. It was also good for lining drawers in the bedroom. Plus it was free!

My ex would get end rolls and take them to my daughter's preschool class. They would have free coloring paper the whole school year.

Hubby would have loved the bypass, he is claustrophobic. He waited while I went up top. Only stayed a couple minutes...didn't want to leave him down in the bunker!

I'm definitely not claustrophobic. I've done silly cave stuff up near Enchanted Rock here in Texas, and other places over the years.
I'd have made a good astronaut.

 

[donaldtoo]

Is that the pink "princess phone"? I wanted one of those forever, too expensive.

Hahaaa...! Yes, I believe it is!
I tried to find a meme with just the plain black, but, I'm secure enough in my manhood not to care.
Heck, I even wear pink and lavender shirts...DWifey likes the way I look in those colors...!!!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I love this, MOXOMUMD! Going to the movie this afternoon, and I can't wait....I missed the first one.

Did you see the second? The first was better.

 

[donaldtoo]

My favorite Star Trek show, I laughed for weeks about the tribbles!

Yes, I'm by no means a "Trekkie", per se (as I obviously had to Google the whole Tribble thing to remind me of those episodes). But, one of the things I have enjoyed very much of the episodes of the shows (and the movies) I've seen, is the sense of humor that is also so prevalent in them. I know a lot of it is supposed to be "serious", but, I really appreciate the humor, too.
