This reception is ROCKIN'...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Not since last night.

Hopefully, just a short-ish utilities outage...

Sigh . . . I miss the old EPCOT.

Me too. I miss riding World of Motion.

I'm at a loss too. It still perplexes me. I think airlines like to screw with people's minds.

perhaps they actually want to screw you right now, aka let the ticket expire so you cant do anything about it.

I'm listening to the radio and they are talking about 'Studies' duh studies.

High heels make feet hurt.

Students that do their homework get better grades than students that don't

Can I get paid to do these studies?

that study sounds pretty dumb. Obviously they will have better scores if homework is part of the work being counted for the overall score.
reminds me I once had a class that homework compassed 40%.. the other 40% was the exams.

Doesn't anyone just use Windex anymore? That's all I've ever used.

I still use it too. I use it on the inside of my car's windows.

Hey all! I just got back from a mini weekend away in Madison (our state capital) with some college friends. It was fun but I'm tuckered out. A lot of shopping and it is a 4 hour drive from my house. But we are at the melting pot restaurant and it was fabulous!!

We have a lot of fondue; cheese fondue, a broth fondue to cook our meat, and a chocolate Heath bar for dessert. I guess there is one of these restaurants in Minneapolis and that is any an hour away! I see more fondue in my future.....

Just heard the eye is disappearing quickly after hitting land, they are hoping with how quickly it is moving that it won't dump as much rain.
190 mph winds as it slams the mountains. Yikes.

the best part was how the wind core disappeared.. it became an oval once it hit the mountain range.. and we got NOTHING of damage.

unfortunately, many other smaller towns were hit hard by insane floods (the town of Mascota) or heavily damaged by winds/sea (Cihuatlan and Mazatlan)

Yay, you're back!
I keep using the search function every hour or two to check.

Glad you're safe.

One of our favorite places. We have one that isn't all that far away. We do the cheese, broth and usually the chocolate fondue for dessert.
Usually have the Liebfraumilch or Reselling wine, it goes well with the cheese and chocolate. Love that place but skip the salad.

@Cesar R M I hope you managed to get some sleep and are safe and sound. sending pixie dust and prayers for both xoxo

yeah, I went to sleep at 5:00 am and woke up until 10.. no damage, mother was back.. showered and restored the house things back to their normal spot. unglued/removed the tape from the windows as well.

 

[Cesar R M]

Thanks for the explanation. Until @FutureCEO mentioned the name change, I really hadn't heard about any of this. Did this just happen, or has the name change been announced for some time now?

for some time by now. was planned for more than 6 months before and unveiled a month ago If I remember correctly.

@Cesar R M , I just got through all the posts here from last night and early this a.m. looking for your updates on the storm. I also pulled up a few web sites this morning about the hurricane. If I understand this correctly, it somewhat appears as though the worst passed by you (or started to break up in the mountains). The weather men seemed to be reporting from Puerto Vallarta (it was dark outside in the background, so I'm not sure what time they filmed those). You mentioned you were somewhat in that general area, so I just want you to know I was thinking about you this morning, too, and I'm hoping you are safe. I'm also hoping any damage to your area was minimal. If you have power today at home, please let us know if you're still o.k.

Well, Puerto Vallarta was hit by power outages and internet outages.
I am in Banderas Bay in the Nuevo Vallarta area (which is next to PVR but in the other state of Nayarit). We never lost power, only internet from one of my connections.
Luckily.. I have 2 internet connections.

Nothing from Cesar in 17+ hours.
Everything okay?

I am ok, just trying to pick up after 17 hours of no work. I had a lot of request to fulfill once everything went back to normal in my home.
no damage, barely any rain..
most of my time was putting furniture back to their normal spots.

So happy you and your family are OK. I haven't seen the news today as it was Spring Cleaning Day and I had to vacate as rugs, windows etc got cleaned. Hate to hear about all those in harms way, sad.

 

[Cesar R M]

@donaldtoo, please stay safe, I hope you don't suffer from all the rain and expected flooding. Tell pop to stay safe too!

someone I know posted images of Dallas, claiming that its under water with heavy floods..
is it true?

 

[Cesar R M]

I was walking home from the Centrum today and someone stopped me and asked me for directions and then asked me if I'm Polish. (probably didn't recognize the accent...a lot of people don't. Most ask if I'm from England) So I said "No sir, I'm from the US" and he said "Oh! America...wow...well you look good for being American." .... Um....thanks? I...think?

probably someone who thinks that all Americans are ultra obese who ride scooters?
