Its going to keep trying, thats how microsoft is forcing everyone to move to windows 10.

I hate windows for that, I just want to be left alone. This is working well for me right now, and going to something where hubby has to change everything on my computer may only happen slowly. I just hope they don't do it behind by back.

For which I am anxiously awaiting the trip report.

same!

Drat.

You should let it go.

Frozen lied to us. *sigh* But I think I can let it go.

should have read the entire page first lol.

Thank you, I want to learn before I lose my hearing entirely, my grandmother and aunt went deaf, and they became very depressed. I don't want to follow that route. I do like that I have my friends on here , as I take my journey through life. You all have been so nice, it's one of my best places to visit!

You can always go the route I went. Save money and get an implant.
Theres a lot of eldery people with implants.
If you are not sure, you can always try to book for COCHELAR CONVENTION next year, it will be at Disney World.
They will inform you of everything.

As much as I'd love to go to V&A's just once in my life, in all sincerity, I'd far prefer your restaurant any day--my kind of relaxation and good food, with reasonable prices!

Me too, I don't do froo froo anymore. To lazy to get all gussied up. Never has been my style. Although I had to do that for years, when hubby was climbing up in his company. I hated it everytime. I finally bowed out when I had my stroke, I couldn't hear anyone on one side of me, and it made for a very awkward situation.

Thank you and we've never had a problem finding goodies. I love Babycakes, many places have dairy free sorbet and popcorn is one of my favorite goodies at Disney. Which is weird because I hardly ever eat popcorn at home. I'm also a big fan of the adult slushes.

Your tastes are right up my alley. Just wanted to say we tried do pictures at Figment for you, they all came out too dark. Hubby needs more practice with his new camera. I may post one, just for you even though it's pretty bad. I tried not to forget anything that I thought people would enjoy. I have a couple pics of Marie, the kitty. Gotta love Disney's kitty's and puppies.

My doctor was the founder of that, but it goes into your skull right? I'm allergic to metals, including surgical steel. I wonder if they have moved to plastic. Not sure about that, Disney's magic bands, no matter how large I make them causes a rash and itching after a day. Now I just carry it in my pocket.

So funny, thanks! I love it!

Wow...it looks gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the pictures! I love landscapes and architecture. I grew up in Wyoming where we have gorgeous landscapes and wildlife, but not much in the line of ruins or old buildings. Now I live in the Netherlands and we have visited Germany, Belgium, France, and England, but never Norway. Was it anything like the Norway pavilion in Disney? One of my favorite places we've been was Füssen in Bavaria, right near Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles. I highly recommend it if you decide to go back to Europe. I love to travel, too, and I guess that's one of the reasons Epcot is my favorite Disney Park...you get to see a lot of culture without having to go to so many different countries. Italy is on the top of my list for wanting to visit, as well as Greece, Ireland, Scotland, and I'd like to go back to England, too. What's on your bucket list?

I wish I could have a bigger bucket, and budget to do all the traveling I've always wanted to do. My dad hated to drive, and refused to get on a plane. So we visited Michigan, to a fishing lake every year. I did meet my second boyfriend there!

I want to go EVERYWHERE in Italy. I read The Agony and the Ecstasy, which is about the life and works of Michelangelo, and ever since then I've wanted to go to Florence. I want to see the Medici palace, I want to see the cathedral and see The David. But then DD went to see the Violetta movie and it was filmed in Italy and WOW...I want to see those places too. I scoured the internet one night looking for where they filmed. Taormina and Scopello in Sicily. But I also want to see Rome, and the Vatican. So much that I want to see.

I need to read that book, I have always been intrigued with Michelangelo, he was quite the inventor too.

Most places do yes, particularly the younger generations. Some places are better about it than others. In our experience, people in Paris will pretend not to speak English, even if they can. In the Netherlands, people are quite anxious to prove that they can speak it. We went shopping today because DD needed new shoes and the guy heard us speaking English and automatically addressed us in English, which happens all the time. In Iceland, they are trying really hard to find a niche as a major tourist destination, so they speak English. Germans usually do as well. Most schools start teaching English already in Elementary school. I don't know about Italy, having never been there, but the only place I've had trouble was in Paris and that had more to do with the attitude there about tourists. It goes a long way if you try to learn a few words and make an effort...they are more willing to help you if you aren't the typical "ignorant tourist."

I took four years of French, but like everything so long ago, if you don't use it you lose it. Mostly I have "lost it". Hey, that sounds really bad. Lol

Just a little teaser for y'all

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

We went to Bergen, Alesund, Stavanger, and this small town called Olden, which is where we saw the glacier.

We did 3 of those 4 also . We did Geiranger also . If you saw the Disney Magic it was us

 

[betty rose]

Yeah, see, I'm one of those people who love photos, and I will spend ages looking at them and living vicariously. But I know that not everyone else is like that, so I generally post the thumbnails so people don't have to look if they don't want to. But like @MinnieM123 said, that's just my own personal preference. But by all means, post the big ones if you like...I'm going to look at them regardless, and it doesn't sound like anyone minds.

Thanks, since I found the small format, I love it. So many pictures in such a small place. Easier too!

 

[betty rose]

Where in Norway did you go ? We just took a Disney cruise there

Pictures, and commentary please. It had to be the best! Feel free to share. It' okay, if that's not your thing.

Sympathy like, I'm not going to wear one! Partly on principal and partly I don't like tan lines

I did take notes

You just copied that from the internet--you can't fool us.

 

[betty rose]

Oh hey, would that be an option for you? Do a cruise to Europe? Then you don't have the really long flight, do you? Or do you have to fly to a European port?

I would love to cruise there and back. But, it's very expensive. But, the 50'th is a once in a lifetime event. I hope someone with a lot of money dies before I do! And leaves it to me!
