I'm glad Pepsi is bringing back sugar in it's soda. Taking out the corn syrup.

Me too. I saw cases of Mountain Dew with Sugar today.

This still is making me laugh!

I'm still trying to figure out how they even got that picture and what actually happened!

Did you know he was a minister? Not that it makes any difference. He did an interview where he decided that so many kids were sat in front of the TV, that he wanted to do a kids show, with a kind male figure.

Yeah, the minister thing means little to me, I'm jaded. We are the heartland of the Priest abuse of children scandal including 2 out of my towns parish. Seemed to be a habit to stash these dudes in small parishes.

Out of that era of children I don't buy into children were sat in front of a TV for too long. There were only a few hours a day for Children's programming and even then you could count the channels available on one hand. Most of us had little interest in The Guiding Light or reruns of Lawrence Welk. We played outside with our friends.

I think it is a nice picture of you and your husband. As for good hair days at WDW, even when I'm home I never had good hair days. But then again I don't have enough Patience with "doing" my hair anyway.

Me, too! I wash, put some gel in it, comb, and go. I get my hair cut once a year, right before vacation. That's it.

Me too. Although they sadly lost the last two games of the series. I told @JenniferS that her team would win the rest of the series. Sometimes I hate being right.

Ive given up on baseball now that football is starting up lol

Definitely nothing fancy for us. We're not real fancy folk, especially with the kids. One year, hubby got a gift card for this really fancy restaurant as a bonus from work. It was the kind of place where you can't pronounce half the things on the menu and they came and brushed bread crumbs from the table in between courses, etc. The food was excellent, but we felt SO out of place there. It was a nice experience to have one time, but neither of us mind if we never have another.

Even though California Grill is a signature, I wouldn't call it fancy in the formal sense. I felt very comfortable and just enjoyed the nice-ness of it all. Our waiter was totally laid-back, but extremely professional and I don't think he did the bread crumb thing.

I think that he had been in the marines too, and supposedly had a large tattoo on his arm and that was a reason for always wearing long sleeves. I loved Mr Rogers he had a great message. I was also a big Sesame Street fan. I was really disappointed that me niece never watched it, her mother had her watch Dora and Diego, the Wiggles, and other shows.

While I was too old for Sesame Street it was ground breaking for Children's TV. Prior to that it was mostly old men entertaining small children. Sesame Street went at it a whole different way. As time went on it only got better minus the duds. My kids had very different taste in TV programming. My DS liked to be entertained while my DD liked the shows that taught something after she got over the annoying purple Dinosaur.

Funny, I really hated Barney and I tried to limit her viewing of Barney shows and VHS tapes to keep my own sanity. My Mom was annoyed with that. She left my house and came back with a small TV with a built in VHS player for my 2 year olds room so she could watch Barney anytime she wanted to. Oddly I think I was 16 years old before I had a TV in my room at my folks home.

DD and I watched his show everyday. That's another reason he was near and dear to my heart. I did love the message of his shows. I wish they would bring him back for today's little ones.

Thinking bringing him back would be difficult, think he has been dead a long time already.

I'm also in the "I hate Barney" camp. So annoying!!

My best friend and I used to lay on top of her roof to get a suntan.

I use to lay on top of our porch roof top for a suntan too. Because of course if you are 12 feet closer to the sun it works better.
Very different, we were young, limber, tree clim'en kids. I was also a gymnast.

that steak looks awesome!!!
and how hot as been on Orlando anyway?

It was hot! 92-95 every day.

For the first time in memory, I actually broke a sweat. And once I started, it was like a tap had been turned on! (Hubby injudiciously suggested it might be menopause! )

Ive given up on baseball now that football is starting up lol

My football team is very broken and they fired one of guys today. I think I'll stick with rooting for the Cubs for a while longer.
