Drink a lot of Gatorade to replace your electrolytes.I'm still a bit bad.. but slowly recovering.
weak after emptying the entire contents of my body x_X
I hear you.Thanks. It was far from what I endured growing up and later in the Church though.
Yeah, I'm one of those that was raised Catholic, I will always be Catholic. When we moved from the City to the suburbs there was some great debate with our then current priest on helping me get into the closer school that was filled mid year, my Dad had given money and construction services to the Parish. The priest told my Dad why should he, he wouldn't be a contributing member of his Parish any more. I guess my Dad had a shouting match with the dude then. When I went to school in the morning we were sat in a circle to pray for his soul. God must have decided it was his time to leave earth, he died of a massive heart attack after his conversation with my Dad. Dad became non practicing.
Me, my own moment came when I found out by the media that 2 priests in a row with the ick stink of child abuse were transferred to our Parish in our little Hamlet. One removed by the police, the 2nd one. I'm as jaded as my Dad became.
What if Disney World WS in England...?I don't like I could go to Disney 2-3 times a year. A week is enough. And I don't even pay for it all. Just the plane ticket, alcohol and parks tickets. Parents have DVC which I will never buy myself. I would rather see the world. One can ride the rides for so long and not get bored with them.
I totally agree with you. I think it's awesome how your family does WDW.I've got parents (well really, a father) who refuse to travel outside of the US, and at this point, I can't afford to go just myself. I've mentioned that I've been to other areas of the country though, including California and Hawaii.
I can't say that I've ever gone on a trip and done every single thing on that trip. Back in June, we did four days, and we did Blizzard Beach, Epcot, MK (for 7DMT) and DHS. In August, we're there for two and a half weeks, but most of that time is spent at the pool, so we'll only go in the parks for a few hours in the evening. In August, we spent the day we got there and the day we left in the parks all day. I went to DHS by myself one day, my brother and I went to MK one day (because my Sheldon-like brother wanted to ride CofP again after it broke down the night before), and we went to AK one day. My parents and brother did Blizzard Beach one day (I wasn't feeling well, so I hung back at the resort pool) but left because it was so crowded. And my brother and I did one partial day at Disney Quest.
This past January trip was neat because 1. it was without my parents and 2. We usually don't go in early January, so when I went, it was the first time I got to see all the holiday decorations, including that gorgeous castle with gorgeous castle with the ice. I also saw Beauty and the Beast for the first time in years. But even over 9 days, we still did not do everything.
This January, we will go back and do stuff we missed in August and do longer park days. But then we'll miss out on Splash Mountain and some others that will be being refurbished, so we'll hit those again in August.
I can't say I ever get tired of going or wish that we were going elsewhere. I've got a brother on the autism spectrum, so Disney is one place that he can enjoy to the fullest. But I also just really enjoy every trip. I love just being there. I have such fun every time.
I wonder how many more people I can pi$$ off today?
Son #1 - "I need your car" - No, you were late for school yesterday, so no car for 3 days
"Give me money" - No, I paid $1500 for your New York trip last week, and you don't get any more until Friday.
($$ BTW is predicated on his attending school. Call it a bribe.)
He then proceded to harrass and berate me for half an hour.
Guess what, I stuck to my guns. No car. No cash. Just lots of BS being awful to me.
Bro #2 called late last night and said he was cancelling his 10:00 a.m. app't for this morning.
I tried to talk him into going. If anyone needs to see a shrink, it's him!
Anyway, he didn't respond to any of my texts last night or today, didn't actually cancel the app't (slept all day instead), and then phones me at 4:30, demanding I change my FB profile pic.
By now, I'm already pi$$y, so I said, "Whatever. Did you re-schedule?"
Get this, he didn't go to the app't because:
a) He hasn't had a shower in over a week (So, take one!)
b) He has no clean clothes (I'm sure the shrink doesn't care, plus you know ... washing machines ....)
c) He's just not up to it (Seriously, how can any of us help you, if you won't even take the little steps to help yourself?)
And, he didn't reschedule ... because he doesn't have their number. Says he has to wait for the office to call him.
I did however, change my profile pic, to one that doesn't include Tammy. I'm not totally heartless.
@JenniferS - making friends everywhere.
Friends of my parents took their kids to Niagra Falls on the Canadian side a few years ago. Kids were most excited about the very nice hotel room in Toronto that they booked.We use to go to Mexico frequently years ago. I never felt Canada as a vacation destination, similar enough to what I am use to and all our ships came through there so it was always work related.
The American-side view of the Falls is vastly inferior to the view from the Canadian side.Friends of my parents took their kids to Niagra Falls on the Canadian side a few years ago. Kids were most excited about the very nice hotel room in Toronto that they booked.
Also, just a comment on that article you posted, that blogger is not wrong about MBs and to some degree spontaneity, but the whole article isn't really logical and just comes across as whiny and selfish. First of all, on MBs, why is she complaining? They had no issues with MBs. You can still request RFID room keys if you don't want to wear a MB, but they are more convenient. Just not worth what Disney paid for the system. They're not without issues, but they do have a positive side, one she conveniently ignores.I don't like I could go to Disney 2-3 times a year.

Actually, I don't gamble. Not a good idea; gambling addiction runs in my family. My grandmother gambled away so much of her money that when she died, my grandfather was in a lot of debt. My uncle has also struggled with it, as has my aunt (both her children). So...not something I plan on trying. Ever. My mom said the same thing. Some of my relatives do it with no trouble. They go out to Vegas, they don't gamble more than they have, and they know when to stop. But unfortunately, just too much of a history there for me to feel comfortable doing any kind of gambling, except for the kind you do using a computer and fake money. So I am sorry to say, no 2% fee for you!The American-side view of the Falls is vastly inferior to the view from the Canadian side.
Well worth the price and aggravation of having to get a passport.
Plus, any cash you win in the Fallsview Casino is tax-free; as are all lottery winnings.
So, if you do head on up this way, be sure to pick up some 6/49 and Super 7 lottery tickets.
P.S. - We don't have amortized payments vs lump sum options. If you win $50 million, you get $50 million.
And if you get $50 million, I am claiming a 2% referral fee. Please.
And thank you.
Call me first. I'll join you. My cousin is a scalper - I can get us great tickets.Actually, I don't gamble. Not a good idea; gambling addiction runs in my family.

As for Niagra Falls...the kids who I'm talking about were about 13 and 9 at the time. Just not good ages for them to really appreciate Niagra Falls. They would be better off taking them at 17 and 13 instead, or just the parents going themselves. The kids really want to do WDW again (they haven't been since they went with us in 2010), but the dad keeps picking other spots. They go on enough vacations, usually where he wants to go, that it puzzles me a bit as to why he won't taken one vacation to WDW for his kids. I mean, when I graduated high school, my dad really wanted to do another long Hawaii trip, but my brother and I wanted to go to Disneyland, so we compromised and did half the time at DL and half in Hawaii. So it just puzzles me as to why their dad won't take their input on vacations. He says, "There are other places to see in this world besides Disney World." My dad had a smart response that I won't repeat here.
As for me, I haven't thought about Niagra Falls as a vacation yet. Maybe when I'm older, but I'll consider doing both sides.Maybe do it when the Orioles are visiting Toronto and go see a baseball game too...

My ultimate favorite Christmas movie is on, The Polar Express.![]()
Darn. If I had only read this 4 minutes earlier, instead of playing my new game first thing.If any of you are up now, I believe the launch of the Orion unmanned spacecraft is set for 7:05 AM (EST) from Cape Canaveral. I won't get to see it as I'll be out the door in a few minutes, but I'm sure the news channels will carry it "live" if you're interested.![]()

It's been on the past two days.They never show The Santa Clause anymore, the original one, not the dumb 3rd one. I don't really know my favorite Christmas movie. I love those old 70's hour specials like Frosty and Rudolph, etc. I saw It's a Wonderful Life for the first time last year and I liked that.
Unless you count Love Actually as a Christmas movie. Then Love Actually it is.
