Amen Sir. I do wonder, if left to stand how current they would have kept it or if it would have gone the way of the last scene of CoP. While futuristic now, kinda skype-ish in the 21st century. Funny to see the small Main-Frame-ish thing in there too.

pretty sure there are homes like that.. but they were quickly to vanish.
They were a hit in the 50's and 60's lol.

The "modern" doesnt look modern now. Contemporary seems to be "in".
People still like the cozy feeling of "classy" and "old" in their homes.

Anyway, imho: in our future.. the one room houses might be the usual ( a la fifth element or box rooms from japanese movies) due of lack of space and gigantic leap in prices.

Ginger Cream Oreo verdict: Meh!
The biscuit is the same as Golden Oreo, therefore lovely.
The cream centre however, is another matter.

First, as a trained cookie connoisseur, I sniffed the cookie first.
No hint of ginger, just smelled like Golden Oreos.

It wasn't until I bit into the cookie that the ginger essence was released. By then, it was too late. My mouth was filled with a definite ginger flavour, if ginger were in fact created in a chemical laboratory. Like maybe a Dow lab.

Doesn't mean I didn't eat three of them though. You know, because I'd already put my grubby hands all over them and it would be gross to put them back in the package. And don't forget, I'd already kind of sniffed them, all Stitch-like.

Oooooooh a chili dog would be just the thing to clear this taste from my mouth.

great... I now imagine a jennifer version of Anton Ego (from Rattatouille), writing her cookie review ceremoniously. :hilarious:

Hey there, @donaldtoo , how does the Thursday holiday affect your usual "half day Friday"? If you have to work on Friday, will they still give you the afternoon off? As for me, I'm taking Friday off as a vacation day (we don't get it off from work, only Thanksgiving Day). Anyway, I'll be looking forward to a 4-day weekend next week! :D:joyfull:

Thanksgiving and "Magical" (as I used to refer to it when I was a Disney Store CM ;)) Friday are paid holidays for us, as well as the 24th, 25th, and 26th of Dec. :)
Enjoy your 4-day Thanksgiving weekend! :)

Guessing the majority lacked musical talent? Yikes! So glad those days are gone. Just wait until middle school when they think they are 23 at dances. Oy. I chaperoned one and only one between 2 kids.

My brother's elementary school started teaching ballroom dancing when he was there because the middle school complained about inappropriate dancing at school events. Now that the program at his and other elementary schools has been going on for several years, the problem with the inappropriate dancing in middle school has gotten a bit better.

I never went to any school dances, including prom. They carried zero appeal for me.

Watching Elf.
This movie brings back fond memories of our very first family trip to WDW in 2003.
On a particularly lousy weather day, we went to DTD; spent four hours at DisneyQuest, had a lovely lunch, and then went to the AMC theatre.

Three words: best burp eeeeevvvvveeeeerrrrr!

Probably rounded out that perfect day at MK. :)

If I can't have a rewind button, could I please have a fast-forward one instead?
Pretty please. With sugar on top.

I didn't really find it that big a deal.
Yeah, yeah - some guy and his wife did it on their balcony; to which I say to all overt forms of PDA - get a room!

Even being the prude that I am, I think pics from "Flash Mountain" are kind of funny too.

It has morphed over the years. Some of my oldest treasures are in the light pink and tourquoise range.

Growing up, we always had a picture perfect tree. Red and blue twinkling lights, round glass ornament balls only, silver garland tinsel, star on top. Our only contribution as kids, was helping to swap out the burnt-out lights and handing my mom the ornament balls.
Without realizing it, I sort of headed down that same road myself, long before I even got married.

When the kids were a couple of years old, I thought they might want to help, so I bought a second tree, with "fun" ornaments, multi-coloured lights, no set colour scheme.
Turns out the boys never liked their tree as much as the "formal" tree, and we stopped doing it after a few years. They ended up giving everything to my brother years ago.

Adopted Son (who I usually call "the Extra Kid in the Basement") can't recall ever having a tree growing up, and is somewhat mocking me because I've just started.
"Why are you going to decorate the family room - you don't even go in that room?"

Sadly, he doesn't get it, and I don't think I have enough time to convert him.

I'd say about 8-9/10ths of the homes we design have a heavy focus on entertaining. Kitchen/dining/great room all wide open to each other. Game rooms with blown out, pub-like bars, and wine rooms. Large, tiered home theaters. Man caves with picture windows to a garage with prized cars or motorcycles. The list goes on. :)

The question would now be if these homeowners actually put these spaces to good use..or do they have them just to say they have them?

So, what are your top 5 grocery store items (not necessarily groceries) that you make sure to never run out of?

These are the items that I would get dressed and run to the 24-hour supermarket for, in no particular order:
- cat litter
- coffee cream
- milk
- pet food (kind of a cheat here, as neither my dog nor cat food comes from the grocery store)
- water jugs for the water cooler

Toilet paper almost made the list; except in a pinch, you can use Kleenex.

In my experience, as a person who sells these houses - a bit of both.
A lot depends on the price range.

Keep in mind, these are GTA prices.
Under $500K, they are living in every square foot.
$500K to a mill - lots of living, lots of toys.
$Million plus - need lots of bling and "showy" spaces (wine cellars, media rooms, lofts) to boast about.
