Personally, I like extra bacon with my extra bacon...

So sorry you're going through the carp.

Yes, your DD needs to be in therapy. She will come out much less unscathed.

Wonder if your ex is worried about what may come out during the therapy sessions. Because thinking that she shouldn't talk about it means that he is worried what will come out if she talks and that he's trying to cover something up.

I definitely had the same thought. Even if I give him the benefit of the doubt that he's truly concerned, that doesn't give him the right to try to control what she talks about in therapy. And there's no therapist in the world who would say that she shouldn't talk about the divorce!

Thanks, Gabe!

I'm a fan of Rieslings, so thanks for the recommendation.
I actually drink more wine during the holidays than I do all year.
Looks like I may need to make a serious flip flop regarding my beer/wine intake ratio...!

On date night take DWifey here, they have Kung Fu Girl

pretty sure that at this rate.. its M. Donkey who needs the therapy.
Maybe good electroshock therapy will make him finally think correctly and reasonably

As a Mom of Competitive swimmers and both have Managed a large waterpark....what humans do in the water?

Ewww.. and yes I agree..

I've had bad encounters in pools so I can agree with you.

My brother's school has that policy. Apparently, some seventh grader who went there eight years ago was trying to go to her locker and walked through a cloud of Axe body spray that had been sprayed. They called 911 and she spent three days in the hospital. It is firmly imprinted on the principal's brain.

You sure she didnt fainted a the Manly Man Smell(tm) (as AXN advertices)?

 

[Gabe1]

My dad wore that every day, I still love the smell of it. Hubby is allergic , so I don't get to enjoy the fragrance any more.

Awe, just buy a bottle of it and leave it in the garage. Go take a whiff when you need to go down memory lane and then put the cork back on. The sense of smell is a wonderful memory trigger. That is why I love my Yankee Candle so much. It reminds me of our long vacations as a kid in southern Florida as a young kid. All that Coppertone that was slathered on me.

Nope. I'll eat tomato sauce and tomato soup, but hate fresh tomatoes and tomato juice. Also not 21 (yet).

I keep forgetting you're not 21 yet! You're definitely much more mature than a lot of people your age.

Definitely agree he needs the therapy, but when someone doesn't want or think they need help, it's useless.

Electroshock sounds good to me. I can't even count the number of times I've wanted to literally shake some sense into him in the last 7 months!

I'm a lover of all things Tomato minus sun dried tomatoes and tomato juice. Still there is something about a well made Bloody Mary that immediately makes you forget it has tomato juice in it. At Disney, a consenting adult, a person of your age, not a real issue. When my son was in college in Wisconsin initially at 18 he could order a drink with us at a bar or restaurant.

Me, I was never a fan of the age being raised up to 21. Illinois was 19 for beer and wine and Wisconsin was 18 till the Feds stepped in. When we vacationed in Mexico I never had any issues at 14 in a resort ordering a Margarita. It actually made the family vacation at that age more tolerable lol. The only time I had an issue in Mexico, my Mom, her friend, her two 16 year old twin DDs and me 16, going into a night club with our Moms. They said no. They had great music and it was a fun spot at night right next to our hotel. So we left, our Moms went in. 20 minutes later the 3 16 years olds went in together. No issue.

We were always served wine as small kids at Sunday dinner at my Grans. The kids got these tiny little cordial glasses. My belief is because it wasn't forbidden, that 21 right of passage, it generally lacked the curiosity and appeal that it does today to many college students. I remember my son being so curious about beer when I was stocking the bar for his birthday party when he was around 10. I opened one let him taste it, wasn't amused he spit it out so quickly all over me. Curiosity Cured for a long long time. He was such a finicky eater my gut told me he would hate it. Just didn't think I'd be wearing it.

We have been having less snow the past few years but we have had this much when I was growing up. Then we had the blizzard of 96 that was deep.

That one shut down most of the east coast! I was not fun at all!

 

[Figgy1]

Supposed to start tonight but we are ready!! I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

THNX be safe!

 

[Figgy1]

Thank you! We are ready so we will see what we end up with. Right in the bull's eye

Please let it fall apart!

Went to Animal Kingdom today. I didn't feel great when the day began, but we had friends who moved to Jacksonville and who were here, but today was their last day. We'll probably see them in August, but I wanted to spend some time with them and didn't want to disappoint their 8-year-old, who latched on to me and talked my ear off. I felt good most of today, but then started dragging in the afternoon. I came back to the resort while my parents and their friends went to Epcot (we're at BWV). Came back and found out I was running a low grade fever (100.5). Well, that explains it.

I have absolutely no desire to leave my bed, but probably will drag myself to Epcot for our ADR. With nothing but my phone and MB. Then back and in either the hot tub or my bath tub, depending on how much energy I have. I feel lazy enough that I might take the boat to Epcot.

Planning on a very slow morning tomorrow.

Take it easy and get well soon xoxo

OK, I just chatted with DVC and my presumption was correct in that I need to cancel my current reservation and then I have to wait until 60 days prior to my potential travel dates to see what's available. And looking at what's available 60 days from now, hopefully Saratoga will still have availability, if OKW doesn't. I guess I might as well start booking ADRs just in case. Hopefully I'll be able to get flights at 60 days!

Isn't 60 day right about Easter time?

 

[Figgy1]

also, went with my mother to pick up her car.. the crash wasnt that bad.. but a lot of ruined paint.
I went to inspect the car and it still had imperfections. the manager agreed after checking.
So the car will stay one day more to refix the lingering issues.

My mother thanked me because she didn't noticed ANY issue (she has kinda bad eyesight)

You are such a wonderful son looking after your mother. Meanwhile at my house

 

[Figgy1]

She's handling best she can, but I really think getting her into therapy will help, so she can talk to someone not personally involved and feel safe to be able to say whatever she wants, knowing that it can be confidential. But Mr. Donkey thinks her talking about the divorce will stress her out even more, which means needing to get a court order because he won't agree with the therapist that she should talk about the divorce.

But yes, on the plus side, lots of evidence demonstrating his unreasonable, controlling attitude/behavior!

Good luck. Might I suggest a lovely walking tour for him

 

[Figgy1]

Thanks!
Much better right now. Great feeling once the pain starts to relent a little.
The med seems to be working.

That's great! I hope you have a pain free day today! xoxo

It's not that bad. Weird and not exactly yummy but not quite that bad. It's always better in summer at least it's cold
