@figmentfan423 We've got a sign!

Yes and it was quite frightening

I like the watch, I'm a watch collector! And never know what time it is! Wow, I was going away eons ago. I love it on here!

One of my mom's cousins worked for the Elgin watch company for a while.

I refer to yesterday as the day @MR FERRET blew up the internet

Sheesh Joisey i didn't do nothing

Family should be a refuge, not a curse. Wish it were for everyone.

That was quite a thought-provoking statement. I also wish it was true for all, but regrettably, that's not always the case.

Well, obviously the wild animals are different species for different areas. I can well understand why this warning is on your island . . .

Here's another warning sign that your local gov't. should make for your island: "Beware of ferrets with fake halos, impersonating saintly behaviours . . ."

Actually, love languages apply to spouses/mates, not parents/children: http://www.5lovelanguages.com

My parents were similar to yours in that they raised me and my siblings the best way they knew how, which wasn't the ideal way, but definitely demonstrated love on some level. We can only improve upon our parents' way of raising us, right?

I'll have to look at it later. I have to go get the kids for lunch break in a few mins.

I think you'd really rock one! Go for it! I'm thinking about getting one for my Disney vacation days My dh threatens to hide my Figment bum bag I'll find something goofy to wear

Threaten DH with the whole Beverley look (and a Tiarra) if he hides Figment from you

November 2nd today and our temperature was 66 today and might hit 70 tomorrow! It was so nice outside I went for two walks and enjoyed the porch a little. Too bad it is supposed to sink back into the 40's by the end of the week.

way too warm

I did the profile and looked at the FAQs and it says it's for children and parents, too. There's even a separate profile quiz for children to do. I want to do it with my kids. I think my daughter is a time person, but she's also very physical...she loves to snuggle up and watch a movie with me. I'm not sure with my son. He's definitely NOT physical. I think he's more of a words kid, but he might also be quality time. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for the link!

23 days until Thanksgiving.

 

[MouseDreaming]

OK gang, I'm about 11 days and 100 pages behind...
That kinda' ketchup just ain't gonna' happen.
So, I'm just gonna' jump in right here, and only go back a few pages, maybe.
Hope you're all well...!

I am in the same boat, @donaldtoo . I can't handle all of that "ketchup", either, so I just jumped in. I guess I hope to figure it out as I go along.

Well after two months of being in the hospital and then in rehab, step grandfather finally made it home today. And he's apparently a very happy camper.

Great news! Happy to hear he is doing well.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

That's a bummer! Is it because they think it's too much trouble to regulate?

Sorry to answer so late (it's been crazy in my house) but it's all PC to me. Can't offend anyone. No Halloween but harvest party. No Christmas but winter festival. No Easter but spring fling. The only holidays our schools recognize is Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Memorial Day and those type.

Now it's up to each teacher if they want to decorate their classroom with ANY holiday and if any parents want to send in holiday treats that's okay. I sent in for my daughter's class Halloween goodie bags with candy, stickers, and plastic bug toys in them.

I'm particularly annoyed at the ridiculous standards set by spongebob.

Thank you for this. I shared it on FB and everyone had a good chuckle.

My husband's firm closed financially at the end of Dec. so no one was allowed Christmas Vacation. My family always really had fun at Christmas, I missed all those celebrations, except my Mom and Dad's 50 anniversary. It's been a while but, I still have ill feelings toward his workplace, this requirement to stay at work was up until the last few years, and my family Mom and Dad were gone when they gave in to Dec vacations. I know it's water under the bridge, but I don't feel good about it. Fast forward, we made the best of it. We went out driving around to look at Christmas lights, went to Candlelight church services, and slept in late on Christmas. My DD was always a late sleeper, even Santa couldn't get her or hubby up. Gave me time to fix a nice big brunch. All things work out in the end!

I also don't get Christmas vacation, other than the 25th, which is a stat holiday and Jan 1.

eeh, but gadget does wear a full body suit! or does it involve the other male characters?

They make fun of the fact that male cartoon characters never wear pants, but females always do.

If you're just doing 3 days, keep in mind all the extra time you spend traveling--even just up to Uni. Maybe you and your hubby might be more relaxed if you spent all your time at WDW, and just chilled out and enjoyed the pretty decorations. I've never been there in the Christmas season, but the pictures I've seen are gorgeous.

It is a beautiful time to go. I love the gingerbread house display in the GF.
