kinda funny, because AK is my mothers and myself's favourite park.

It's definitely one of my favorites, too.

 

[catmom46]

And why would he say that?

To be difficult. I mean seriously, he's going to start complaining about me touching his food after 13 years of marriage??? Not to mention he isn't asking - he's telling me how things will be, not discussing it with me. I get no say.

 

[catmom46]

Sympathy like. Isn't it your house?

It's my mom's house. She bought it so we could live there. But he acts like he owns it.

LOL That's pretty much the face I've been making a lot lately!!

 

[catmom46]

I'm kind of overtired and cranky this morning - you want me to come down there and smack him?
For you, any time!

That would be great. Let me know when you're on your way and I'll give you the code to our front door.

 

[catmom46]

Me too, brother! I like my grey hairs. They remind me that I have fully lived and survived!

I'm just too lazy to color my hair. Plus, once you start, you can't stop!

Christmas is my favorite holiday! I don't even mind the crowds or black Friday crowds. The one thing that does bug me hot glue, I hate getting it off my nails

 

[catmom46]

I was going to suggest she put his food in the toilet, then replace on his side of the freezer!

I like the way you think Betty!

Yup.

Day 12 of the Adventure.... October 31, Halloween (Saturday).. Time to start sailing!

Another change of focus. Left early to catch a train to the Port of Civitavecchia just outside Rome.

This would be a good time a talk a little bit about the street beggars generally in most of the cities in Europe. It is amazing the lengths that these folks will go to just for a handout. I saw people of all ages playing music (which I usually gave too if it were good entertainment), people in weird costumes (like bodies with no heads, one person that was really clever in that he appeared to just be levitating about 4 feet off the ground, people on their knees with their faces planted on the dirty pavement with a paper cup extended in front of them for donations) I suspect the last one was to show a degree of humility and desperation. Fortunately for me, I am, indeed, dead inside and found it amusing instead of worthy. The most aggressive one that I saw or experienced was as we were traversing our way to the train station on our last day. If you remember I told you that I re-injured my arm catching a lady that fell from the stairs on the train back from Disneyland Paris. As we were leaving we had two massive staircases to climb up ladened with two suit cases (about 35 pounds each). As I got to the bottom of the stairs I redistributed my weight load to help my arm and my balance as I carried the bags up the steps. I got up about 4 steps before, out of nowhere, I started to feel my suitcase rise upward. I turned around to find this old lady (even older then me, I think) lifting up on my suitcase on my left side in an effort to help? Instead it was throwing my balance off completely. I asked her to stop by using the universal "NO". She would not! I kept trying to maintain my balance and continue up the stairs and she kept insisting that she was going to help me. I finally had to stop and in my voice that used to stop my children dead in their tracks, literally screamed "NO, NO, NO DAMMIT". She finally got the message and stopped, but, continued to follow us up the stair and attempted to enter the train station. She was turned away by security and stomped away very unhappily. As I said, begging is an art form over there.

Were you also making this face when you were telling her "no"?

Good afternoon @catmom46 I hope today is better

 

[catmom46]

@MOXOMUMD, I just have to thank you for posting that meme. Now that is the face I'll keep seeing whenever I get more inane texts and emails from him.

Don't put it on your nail then Joisey !!!

Thank you! It's not necessarily better, but it is one day closer to when the divorce will be finalized. Gotta think positive, right?

Think of it as natural highlights rather than grey. Most women pay a fortune for that !

That's the spirit and speaking of spirits maybe he'll get a visit from three of them it is that time of year.

Hee-hee. That would be fabulous!

kinda funny, because AK is my mothers and myself's favourite park.

But would it have been your and Mom's favorite park for a full day admission with these attractions only. Remember Lion King is now in its 3rd venue. The Original didn't even have air conditioning. Think of the whole Asia side as not developed yet. A River Boat Ride that went nowhere and you saw little to nothing, same with Wildlife Express Train, Long walk then to a pretty lame and very limited animal petting area. You had basically Countdown to Extinction, Bug, Safari and Lion King.

• Affection Section
• Conservation Station
• DINOSAUR
• Festival of the Lion King
• Flights of Wonder
• Habitat Habit!
• It's Tough to Be a Bug!
• Kilimanjaro Safaris
• Pangani Forest Exploration Trail
• The Boneyard
• Wildlife Express Train: Africa Station
• Wildlife Express Train: Rafiki's Planet Watch Station

You mean that you have more than one tree at home?! Well aren't you lucky!!!

We have a 9 ft tree in our family room and 3 ft tree in my daughter's room.

I would guess that it was something awfully close to that. I was really angry that she refused to let go. So, I am probably one of those ugly Americans now. Can't say I care all that much.
