Thats kinda weird.. Gelatin can come from anything that has cartilage, skins and bones. But to save costs.. companies use the "left overs". So yeah, pork skin, horns, cattle bones..etc..

I still wonder how expensive is to use the alternates like "Vegan Jel".

Well, jello doesn't exist here, vegan or not, so I can't make it. I have some packages my brother sent me for Christmas, but if have the class can't have gelatin, I need to find something else.

Did anybody else see the $43 lunch at Tony's with viewing for MSEP? Seriously??????????????

Yeah I saw that. No thanks. Main street electrical parade is ok but I have seen it so much over the years it isn't a draw for me. And it really pales to Disneyland's Paint the Night.

Good morning everyone! A beautiful day here, the mid 70's today. I have to enjoy it because it will be 90 with a heat index of 100 by Friday! Although that is better than snow! Well off to continue to organize the house, linen and front hall closet today.

If you have been following my posts since February with all I am dealing with my Dad I am VERY aware it is no picnic for him.

Sometimes we need to be compassionate for the other caretakers. I watched all my MIL went through caring for my FIL until he passed. No it wasn't a picnic for him and he became difficult as has my Dad and being considerate to others as they have to make decisions and care for those suffering take their toll. That is often overlooked.

Gabe, stay calm. My comment was not an attempt to say you weren't aware of it personally, it was that sometimes, we all tend to not understand what the declining person is going through and focus on how their problems negatively affect us.

Which is ridiculous. Wasn't that supposed to be free before?

The words Free and Disney are not compatible in any single sentence.

Are you able to wear a flip flop or a slide in flop? That is what my DD did with her aircast (in December-January)

Nope. Since I had drop foot a few years ago I can't wear flipflops or slide in slipper shoes. It's sturdy shoes or bare feet from now on.

Hi everyone, We are back from a great trip. Don't believe the other threads saying how bad Disney is. I didn't see one trash can overflowing, the bathrooms were in better shape than I have seen them in years. The food hasn't been reduced in size. They are using more different brands at the resorts. No longer Heinz ketchup, but I liked the new brand better. Our room was nicely cleaned, and we were supplied with plenty of towels, and soaps, shampoo etc. No complaints. I didn't post as much, as we went in everyday for rope drop, left around 2 pm, to go back to the resort, took a shower and nap. Then we went out for dinner. We only made it to Universal once, as the construction on I-4 was still going on. I will post some pictures each day, so I don't overload the system. On to the first set of pictures!




Daughter and family.








Saratoga Springs, on the path we walked each morning to breakfast at Artist Pallette.

It seems, He Did It, He Started It and Not Me have all moved back in

Sympathy like. I'm betting they move in seasonally during the summer right?

Rainforest for first dinner at Animal Kingdom. Next two are also Rainforest.


This ends the first day, when we flew out.

That's the way I read your post. A little touch of humor towards the health issues you have dealt with most recently.

I feel the same. It feels like October. BRR! I should not have to wear a sweatshirt during the day in June!

I always wear Ryka's tennis shoes. They have nice support, and fit my feet perfectly. No reason to change brands for me.

@betty rose I thought of you yesterday. I made maple sausage links, potatoes o'brien and eggs sunny side up for dinner.

My favorite dinner meal will always be a breakfast thingy.

It's been around 82 every day. Beautiful.

It was in the low 90's everyday in Disney. The humidity was very high too. A little to warm and humid for my liking. But we were able to keep up, with the afternoon nap. Evenings were great! The temperature was just right.

It's been around 82 every day. Beautiful.

Predicted high of 88 here today, with predicted highs in the low 90's for the next 9 days, and a chance for more rain beginning this Friday on through next Wednesday. That's beginning to be a little more of our typical weather for this time of year, except for the distinct lack of triple digit temp days, so far this year. In years past, we'd have already had several triple digit days.

Howdy Bets!!!!!!!
How was the trip...?!!!!!

 

[betty rose]

I can't imagine anyone actually saying you should just deal with it! That's horrible! Sure it's an inconvenience, but not a HUGE one and as you are in tin box in the air, it's not like you can just go to the doctor if you have a reaction. A school is one thing...it's probably big enough to have a safe zone where kids with allergies can avoid contact. But kind of hard in an enclosed space 30,000 feet in the air.

Our grandkids school is peanut free. No exceptions. Good for those with severe allergies.

So my internship is going really well, so well that my boss took me out to lunch today. He spent about five minutes talking with me about work, and then we talked about the Orioles and Disney for the rest of lunch.

But the good news is that they want to bring me in as an enrollment agent, which is part-time and paid!
