Bulletin!! Hubby just called for me to go downstairs, and he was standing at the front door with it open. He said, "Look!" OMG--it was SNOWING!!!!!! Wow! What a great day so far!! :joyfull: It was so weird -- the sun was out, the sky was dark gray and it was snowing!! HA! He was all freaked out, but I thought it was wonderful. Anyway, it just stopped a few minutes after it started, but what an unexpected treat on October 18th! :happy:

Here too! It was a perfectly fine Fall day and all the sudden, out of nowhere, the wind picked up and the snow started falling diagonally. It lasted less than 5 minutes and melted when it hit the ground but it is our first snow of the season. It does feel like a treat. It was fun to look at...but only because it didn't amount to much.

On a yuckier note, I have had a migraine headache for three days. This hasn't happened in a very long time. Yesterday and Friday it lessened to a regular kind of headache for much of the day and would ramp up at dinner time. This morning, I woke up thinking it was gone but by lunch time it had come back with a vengeance...full strength. I can't sleep it off because every time I close my eyes I see a black spot pounding to the rhythm of my pulse. So for now, I am just laying back, browsing the boards, trying to relax. If it is still here tomorrow, I'm going to have to go to the clinic.

Hi to everyone. Missed reading the posts on here, I hope to play ketchup this afternoon. I'm 100 pages behind.:eek: We all had a wonderful trip. We met so many nice people this time. Pirates looks wonderful. The land looked pretty with the Halloween Decorations. Of course Magic Kingdom was all decked out. We didn't sample as much of food and wine as we wanted. I found I was getting pretty tired and it was relatively warm too. We had no rain, yea! Most of the people were well behaved in lines and with strollers. They were so plentiful, and I've never seen so many ECV's. There were at least two on every bus, with leaving some behind for the next bus. We were on a long bus, and there were 3 on there. Not many seats left on the bus. We rode in the center standing on the moving parts, interesting when one foot moves and the other doesn't. I almost fell over on a turn, and the guy in his 40's sitting, started laughing. That was the rudest thing I saw all week. I wanted to deck him. He had no disability and no kids. I noticed no one offering anyone a place to sit down. There was a couple older than us, and they had to stand too. It was the most crowded I've seen in October every park was busy every day. So many people, we waited in stand by for Figment for 35 minutes. That's how crowded it was. Fast pass was a life saver. But most wait times were at least 20 minutes. All in all it was a great trip. Pecos Bill's new food is so good, but you have to love cilantro, it was in almost everything on the plate. The black beans were my favorite, a very mild flavor to them so they beans were good. The chicken, was not good to me....way too much cilantro. Hubby loved it, he loves cilantro. The rice also had cilantro in it. So I many had beans a little rice, and guac. red onions, and salsa red. The combination was wonderful. Lots of ways to put things together...we had the fajita's. And got three large flour tortillas. We shared the food on the plate and we didn't finished the rice or tortillas. Oh, there was green peppers and sautéd onions. That didn't seem necessary to me , so hubby took care of those! The food we had at food and wine was as good as I remembered. It was a great time! I'm 4 pounds heavier, and I've got to lose before the next trip. Yikes! Now I'm up 14 pounds from the june trip. :bawling: It was a great time, and Disney bakery is the best. Gaston's cinnamon rolls weren't warm, therefore not as good as before, they had much less cinnamon in the center of the rolls, from the first time I had them, when they had just opened up. All their other baked goods were wonderful, we didn't make it to Las Halles. Going to do that for sure in January. Thanks for interest in the pictures and the trip! Glad to be back, I love it on here!:inlove::inlove::inlove:

So happy you're back!! :happy: My theory about the extra ECVs is that it's Food and Wine Festival time, which would bring in many more adult guests than usual. So that would include adults of various physical levels. Anyway, that's just a hunch. As for younger people not offering a seat on the bus to senior riders, I think that's a disgrace. And that man that thought it was funny that you weren't used to the articulated buses (we've had them in my city for many years now), well, as you said--that was incredibly rude. What the fool should have done was get up and offer you a seat, seeing as you were having difficulty standing.

Keep telling yourself that... won't make it true. I don't drink coffee but I do like coffee ice cream. Those things don't even taste like coffee at all, in my mind. But, you guys like them, so who am I to argue. Just leave them out of my Christmas stocking, if you don't mind. ;)

Ha! (I could make a joke about how much space coal takes up in a Christmas stocking, not leaving much room for anything else, but don't worry, I won't!) :p

On very rare occasions through the years, I'd get a combination migraine/tension headache. My doctor told me to take medicine (he gave me a prescription) at the very first inkling that it was starting. The longer you leave it, the harder it is to get it under control.

Yes...I have taken meds but they don't seem to be helping. Caffeine is the only thing that has offered any released but I can only drink so much.

Caffeine by itself is not as effective without taking aspirin with it. (The caffeine speeds up the analgesic effects of the aspirin.) Aside of that, maybe you need a stronger prescription from your doctor?
