Can I have them all? Please.

Sure it wasn't just a scratch? Was there any nostril penetration?

Ha! That's a classic!

Sad for the basketball fan-nose picker, he was on video on the news for days. As was sleepy dude next to him.

In your case the possibility of hearing your side of the story before expelling you into the hallway? Sheesh

That was the part that irked my mother the most and that still irks me the most is that the teacher assumed she could see what was going on and just yelled at me in the middle of class. I try not to hold it against her because she was an otherwise good teacher, but she obviously played favorites there

Been talking about Disneyland plans tonight. So far, this is the plan:

10 days in CA
Buying 5 day DL passes, then probably 2 or 3 day passes, totaling 7 or 8 days in DL.
At least one day just hanging around the resort and DTD
The Orioles are in San Diego and have a 12:40 game there, so we'll probably drive down to San Diego and see the Orioles (and San Diego). Watching the Orioles at another stadium has been on our bucket list. Seeing a National League team should also be interesting.

Does anyone have a screenshot of Marie looking sad that isn't a gif? I'm referring to this scene for example.

I wish I could be happy about that, but, I noticed a trend in my retirement plans. If the price of gas drops by a few cents, my investment values drop by hundreds. In the last three months alone the value has dropped almost 4K. When the price is up there I have easily gained a grand per month. I don't drive as much as I used to so this is costing me greatly. That is totally true for people relying in Social Security. No raise this year, because they said the cost of living has not increased. The problem is that cost of things that the elderly have to deal with... Food, Rent, Medicine and Medical expenses have done nothing but go up. Energy drops have screwed up the average. It's not all that great for many people. Another question, why hasn't the cost of flying dropped by loads? There is no hesitation to raise prices when fuel prices go up?

Well, we're paying a dollar or more per gallon out here so maybe that'll help offset the loss a bit. You're welcome.

Just a thought...when we went to Disneyland last year it was cheaper for us to get the Premier Pass as we were doing 9 days at DL and planning on at least 14 days in WDW. We have done more in both parks now because of the premier pass, so maybe it didn't save us money... You have WDW annual passes right? Maybe it would be cheaper to upgrade. DL has a lot better annual passholder discounts for dining too. Something to look into maybe.

We looked into it, but our WDW APs are running about $500 right now with the DVC discount, so it's about $1000 per person for DL. 5 day hoppers plus 2 or 3 day tickets (no hopper) are cheaper. The discounts are good, but if we did that, we'd probably just get one for the discounts. But even that might not be worth it; we already get the DVC 10% discount.

I forgot, split stay between Paradise Pier and Grand Californian Villas.

 

[Gabe1]

I dream big I'm gone after two small ones. Yes, I'm a whimp!

Yep, after one Margarita from Epcot Mexico and I'm done. 2 and I'd be asleep in a bush.

It is that thing about being a smaller person, it doesn't take much especially with hard liquor that I rarely have.

 

[Gabe1]

Oh, I do too, but its going to be really cool. One day the low is in the upper 30's. Brrr.

I'm glad you pulled off several really nice days though. Luckier than most the past month. I feel badly for those CMs at Blizzard Beach. Been closed so much, no paycheck can't be good for those youngins.

Hopefully you do the Grand Californian last, you'll want to step up to GC.

 

[Gabe1]

Lake Geneva Wisconsin Winterfest. Parking on the ice. Ooops.

: 0

So ya had a bad day.....

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Oh alright, I'm out for the night. I've been hard at work on photo books and my eyes need a rest. See ya tomorrow!

Yup, half a glass of wine makes me giggle. And unable to play Scrabble without making up ridiculous words.

Yup, Paradise Pier and then Grand Californian. Although I want to see that rooftop pool. My brother doesn't believe me about the rooftop pool. Of course, seeing as how I told him that about Aulani and it wasn't true, I guess he has a right...

 

[Gabe1]

It might be something to look into. We don't have a gifted program though, although we have plenty of kids that could use it.

I can't throw any bouquets at our Gifted Program either other than we have one in theory.

I took my DD to Northwestern University in Chicago along with some other parents/students. We had to pay for it but their base line for their IQ were established. At least everyone knew what they were dealing with if nothing else.

Oh I bet you are a hoot! I favor wine but it tends to make me sleepy where hard liquor doesn't.

The pool is nice - not huge, but the slide should be fun. DD didn't get to go on it because she wouldn't go by herself, so I didn't go on it either.
