Wow! Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.

It's been a good 2000+ pages since my last visit. High school band director at a highly competitive marching band school = not a free minute from August until November. Been catching up with the family who I forgot I had for the past few weeks and finally am back to wdwmagic. Read the last few pages and am very glad to see that the more things might change, the more this crew stays the same. Good to see you all.

It really is. One of the best things in the world is to go out for a nice dinner with just him. We are going to a highly rated place with ten tables and ten creative items on the menu that change every ten days. We have wanted to go for years and are finally able to get there. So that makes it even more special.

Can't wait to read how this dinner went.

My mom always did stuffing from a box, which I preferred. My aunt made hers from scratch, but put way too much sage in it.
Green bean casserole has always been my favorite. My mom used to set it at the other end of the table to give others the chance to get some before I hogged it all.

As a kid I would try to pick all the fried onions off the green beans and eat them before the casserole made it to the table.

Ever wonder what the Adam's Family House really looked like. We only ever got to see it in black and white but here it is in all its glory. Unbelievable, eh?

Awe, good to hear from you. How did your Band do this year?

 

[Cesar R M]

I'm having that issue too. What do you do for pain, if anything?

nothing.. I just taco myself in my bed.
Since I live in a town where in winter the coldest is 10 degrees Celsius.. its never that cold. so I rarely get the pain.
But when I was studying in Mexico city , the temps could go as low as -5C in the area I lived.
And I DID get the pain from time to time.

It was a very tumultuous year. There are some real issues and concerns going on with the head director (remember I'm just the assistant at the new school), but the kids pulled though and did a great job. We have such great kids! But, I'm quite glad to be out of marching band season and more in control of my own universe... 7 gigs for my jazz band in the next two months. That's where my passion is and I have a great group of kids willing to go with me!

More importantly...3 weeks until our next Disney visit. Another Xmas-New Year's week. Should be fun!

 

[Cesar R M]

Thanks. My friends adult son just got his. He ordered his collectors toy from France and had it shipped here. I couldn't grasp what it was nor why he was so freak'n excited.

Well, I suppose when you're not a gamer.. you do not get the excitement.
I was pretty happy when I got my Collector's Edition of LEGACY OF THE VOID (Starcraft II expansion by Blizzard Entertainment)

But honestly, I was more happy with my Mass Effect 3 Garrus figurine.

 

[Cesar R M]

I love Bugs Bunny. Always a favorite of mine growing up.

***How do you get images with motion to stick? I can't seem to get that to happen often***

You have to upload the animated images ( in .gif or webm format) to a separate website, I use imgur.com.

This forum only allows static jpg and png images.

Winter cold kicks my arthritis into overdrive.

in my case, its not arhritis.
Radiation left a big patch of my skin on my leg with very thin skin and muscle, and tiny veins. which means blood doesnt flow as good as the rest of the body. hence why I can get colder there FAST.

 

[Cesar R M]

Mine too. I'd rather be in Florida.

My goodness the hours I played shuffleboard everyday as a kid in Florida.

Florida can get cold, I still remember when It hit 1Celsius in February when I went.. x_x
coldest ever!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Yes, but, if I think it's what you're referring to, the head is way too small for the ears.

I was thinking the same thing.

Good to see you. Was just thinking we hadn't seen you in a while. Hope all went well with band. Prepare those kids, and then send some of them over our way for college.

Nothing has changed over here. Besides perhaps more cat pictures.

 

[donaldtoo]

Won't be seeing it until January

Woof.
Sympathy like.

 

[Gabe1]

what? no.. lol XD

What is called Mexican Hot Chocolate up here is actually a good drink

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 vanilla bean, split
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1/4 teaspoon chile powder

I've seen the chile sub'd for cayenne pepper too.

Me, I am a bigger fan for Ghirardelli's Hot Drinking Chocolate. (also available online)

 

[Gabe1]

I'm having that issue too. What do you do for pain, if anything?

I buy that mega bottle of Advil at Sam's Club
