Hard to imagine it without Melissa McCarthy, but I read that too...that it was unlikely she'd be joining the cast. I knew that there was a big falling out with the writers and whatnot, but I don't remember what it was that happened. I guess I need to convince my husband to get Netflix! I have no idea how it works though...can you just watch what you want when you feel like it?
but..but.. Downton has no more episodes
I discovered I really like enjoying my morning coffee at Grizzly Peak.

For some reason this sign made me giggle.

And apparently I never knew before there was this route to Radiator Springs.

Usually I get the Luigi scene, so I was happy to snap this pic on one of my RSR rides.

I had booked the passholder rate for my stay, which included a free Fast Pass for each day, although I got an extra one at Grand Californian (presumably for my bday).

I used one of the FPs on Hyperspace Mountain, since it doesn't have a single rider line.

This porch looks so innocent, doesn't it?

As many times as I tried, this was the only marginally decent pic.

That's so sad, and I'm sorry you had to grow up without a relationship with your grandparents. It's amazing to me how stubborn people can get when they don't get their way. My mom was just so used to me doing what she wanted me to do...I was the kid who didn't rebel. I didn't sneak out of the house at night, I was always on time, I was at the top of my class academically, I was involved in lots of after school activities so I didn't really have time to cause trouble, and because we were pretty poor and lived in a somewhat rich area, I was about as unpopular as it was possible to be, so she didn't have to worry about boys...no one was asking me out on dates. She got used to me being obedient and not going out or dating or doing any of the things that make parents worry. So when I went off to college and she couldn't tell me when I had to be home, or that I couldn't go out with my friends (especially boys), or interfere with my school or work schedules, I think she kind of panicked. She didn't want me to date AT ALL much less be engaged. She liked my boyfriend just fine until I told her we were engaged. So I think it was more about the loss of control. She sent me a letter once...I think it was something like 9 pages long telling me how disappointing I was to her, how she didn't understand why I waited until college to rebel, that she had been so happy she hadn't had to go through that rebellious teenager stage that most parents dealt with, and why did I have to be so difficult, couldn't I just do what she told me to do as the bible says to honor thy mother and father, etc. So I wrote back to her asking how it was possible to be disappointed in me when I wasn't doing anything wrong. I told her it could be SO much worse...I wasn't out drinking and doing drugs or being promiscuous in any way, she wasn't having to bail me out financially, I paid my own way and got good grades. And I told her it wasn't "rebelling" when you were already a legal adult. I did what she wanted when I was a minor, but now I was living on my own and it was time for me to be independent and while she was welcome to give me advice, I wasn't obligated to take it and she couldn't make demands. I told her she might not always like my decisions, but they were still mine to make.
Always a good idea to let someone know where you are anyway, whether it's your parents or a friend or neighbor. We always had that system with my mom that if we were going to the movies, we called before we left the town where the movie theater was, to let her know we were on our way. If we weren't home in an hour, she needed to come looking for us. (This was before cell phones we a "thing" so we just called from a payphone.) There was one time that we had gotten out of the movies, headed to a gas station to fill up and get snacks, and the car wouldn't start. So we had to call my mom and then we walked over to Perkins because it was open 24 hours and it was an hour drive from our town to the one with the theater, so we got pie and drinks at Perkins while we waited for my mom to come pick us up. And there was one time that we got stranded on a dead country road. My dad lived on a ranch 20 miles out of town and he had a gas tank there, so we used to go out to fill up the car before we drove into town, but the car died on the way to the ranch on a stretch of road that is not well traveled. I think we were sitting there for a couple of hours before someone came by, and since the nearest ranch or town was 10 miles away, we couldn't just walk to someone's house and call, so we had to just sit and wait. The nice thing about Wyoming is that if someone sees you stopped on the side of the road, they will almost always stop and ask if you need help. So the guy picked us up and took us to dad's and dad brought us home. After that, I think we also started calling mom when we GOT to town, not just before we left to come home. If we'd done that in the first place, we wouldn't have had to sit there for 2 hours waiting for someone to come by.
Yes you can watch whatever you want when ever you like as long as they have it.
Wow, talk about possessive!
I actually agree with others, the slow speed is relaxing.. when you finally get on top you finally feel "phew.. made it, now to enjoy!".
I tried. For 30 seconds on three separate attempts.
You must reallllllllly love your wife.
