I never had my own tv in my room, until I grew up and left home! Growing up with 3 siblings, we had one tv in the playroom (basement) of our house. We used to scrap with each other all the time about what show we'd watch. (We didn't always play nice . . . )

Same here. We only ever had one TV in our home growing up.
Now, mom and pop have 3...!!!

I would like to add a Disney vacation in Disneyland. Is that bad?

Nope... that works for me as well.

So I've read the entire book of Disney's Marie by Kitty Richards from 2006 last night. It basically stars Marie and Roquefort Jr touring France. For some reason, I'm imagining a future Disney Jr animated series based on The Aristocats with Marie and her brothers as the main characters and would be in the style of Sophia The First and would contain new characters one is a talking female Poodle. I'm also picturing Marie given a French accent instead of a British accent like in the original film. And Roquerfort would be voiced by Jim Cummings using his Winnie The Pooh voice which Sterling Holloway used for Roquefort in the original film. I really hope Disney thinks about making an animated educational series based on The Aristocats on Disney Jr in the future. Especially since The Lion King will be getting a show on that block called "The Lion Guard".

It's Labor Day...a day with no school...a day to sleep in but no! We were woke by the smell of a skunk in my front yard. At least I can NAP today.

THNX I like yours better than mine as I went early Saturday and mine were still see through

Our Target doors are all decked out too. It was kinda strange to walk up to the doors that flop in and hope that nobody is on the other side going to get clunked upside the head. Then as I made my way back to the seasonal department it had been transformed to Star Warsland. By this time there is normally Halloween costumes in that area. Interestingly there was not one customer in that area but many in the Halloween candy area adjacent to it. Maybe the hardcore Star War fans hit it up over the weekend. I'm one of the few that have little to no draw to Star Wars. *hides*

Hello! I just saw you a little while ago.

Lesson Learned. Don't look at cell phone while walking Pup and become distracted from skunk watch. Don't know who was more startled, Walt or Me?

 

[Gabe1]

The 6 was larger than the 5. I prefer smaller phones (like the ones that used to fit in your pocket)!

I have the newest version of the 5's. Operates just fine so it is likely here for a while. I'm not the type to dump anything that still works well that I paid dearly for. It just fits into my pockets. I feel your pain with the 6's and think most Women's pockets are dramatically smaller than the average woman's pockets.

I rarely carry a purse 99% of the time don't and it be annoying to need to carry a purse for a phone. Still it would be nice to be able to see the screen a bit better, aging eyes and all.

That's a lot of words for a sign. How about one that just says "Go Away!"

Or one that says, "Do not ask!"

 

[Gabe1]

dunno. You will suffer a bit with the changes of the layout and GUI (graphical interface)

That just made my head hurt.

 

[Gabe1]

I have my 9th graders build a catapult in which they have to launch a marshmallow at me as part of the simple machines unit. I don't mind getting hit with those and they think it is fun.

Now that is a cute version of the torture inflicted on my class.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Or ... you could just make up an interesting story.
Geesh, you're no fun now that you've reached your 20's.

If my dad were still here, he would have a dozen stories for you to share - each more outrageous than the one before. And all G or PG rated.

Of course I'm no fun. Never have been

Except in Disney. Then I'm lots of fun.

 

[Gabe1]

Yep, I was too old for Sesame Street and The Electric Company, as well. But, I ended up watching them quite a bit 'cause of my younger sibs.

All 3 of our kiddos loved Barney. We even went to see the touring show twice when it came to town.
He made them happy, so that made us happy.

I look at it as I endured and persevered Barney. Her joy in Barney in no way made me happy but I did indulge, we too went to the Barney Tour.I smiled and bought her the good souvenirs Her bedspread on her toddler bed had a Barney comforter and she referred to it as her Barney Bed. Oy.

I need a sign that says, "Before you ask, I tore a ligament in my thumb. No interesting story to go with it. Yes it hurts. No, I don't want to talk about it."

Here, use this pic instead.
