The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

So I'm home from work today. I was sick a couple of weeks ago and a cough has hung around. So anyway, since then by the end of everyday I've been on the verge of losing my voice (voice hoarse and throat scratchy) and yesterday I lost my voice. Today it is still gone and things feel strained. Since it is hard to teach without a voice I'm giving myself a break, hopefully those vocal chords will rest up and I will be able to talk again tomorrow. Hubby actually had to call me in since I'm squeaky/whispery. I just wish the weather was better so I could rest up on the porch, but it is in the 50's and drizzling.

Sympathy like. I do hope you can get back to school tomorrow! Get well soon and may sunny skies head your way.

Thanks, I do like being home snuggling with the dog but it is a hassle making a sub plan. If I am able to go to work tomorrow, a couple of my classes are going to be taking tests so it should be a low talking day. Today I had planned review games which meant a decent amount of talking, hopefully the games go well with the sub.

You and me both but that would have it's own set of problems. FAA regs, landing fees, tie down fees and so on.

Hubby just said the same thing, about all the hidden fee's. Great minds!

My mom was born in 1938 and she talked about the rationing, too...and the air raid drills. And there was apparently a Japanese camp in the area and mom said there were times when someone would escape and kids couldn't play outside because it was too dangerous. I have a photo album with a bunch of old ration stamp books. Most of the actual stamps are gone, so it's just the empty books that were issued to her mom.

That was such a tough time for so many people. My Mom liked really nice clothes and a nice home. I think she was a product of going through that time. She had nice things, but washed off gently used aluminum foil.

I'll be honest. The perk of age is a double edged sword. We do all age and at a certain point we have to give into it or do ourselves real harm. Many of us, me for example, will not get old gracefully. We will fight the urge to give in for a very long time just to prove to ourselves that we are not all that old and even if we are, we are holding up better then many of our contemporaries. I find myself doing that all the time and I have to be careful not to over do my ego. I would never ask for a wheelchair at this point if my hips or legs are killing me, it is giving into something that I feel I should be able to control. Foolish? I suppose, but, when you are slipping and sliding down the "other" side of that mountain, you do what you can to make yourself still feel viable and not burdensome. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't take advantage of those willing to help, but, it does mean that we will delay that process for as long as physically possible. Call it pride!

I have a large dose of that also.

Good morning everyone. We are at the 14 day mark. I'm starting my packing. And getting very excited. Lots of new snacks to check out. This is going to be a more relaxing trip. On one of our free days, we are taking the boat to Port Orleans. There is a a powered pasty I want to try.

Our plans for eating at Disney are changing. We are getting an easy breakfast from the grocery store, and have in the room. Dinner's outside of Disney. Thanks to Bob and gang, for all the price increases. We have one reservation for Hoop De Doo , that we are keeping.

Have you decided where yet?

Jimmy Buffet's and the Italian place at City Walk. The boys, are currently looking at City Walk menu's. Son in Law wants to try all the restaurant's in City Walk. This is the first time that Disney will not be a part of our meals. I will get a snack. But we are looking for something new to us. Keep you posted when the boy's make their decisions.

Thank you because you'll be there before us. I keep hearing great things about Cowfish so that's on our list. For us eating at UNI is going to be cheaper for all our sit down meals there.

I only get one pick, so who know's where we will end up? Mostly not Disney this time.
