I made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow to have my left foot looked at. They might just confirm what I already think I have, but then maybe not. Many years ago, I had Plantars Fasciitis, but I am not sure if it was the same foot. Funny thing is, I spent a week at WDW in late January, early February, and my feet were fine. No pain at all. Not the pain I have been feeling lately. Just the usual being on my feet all day pain, which I have become accustomed to after all my trips to Disney World. With my trip to WDW being just 39 days away, I wanted a few solid answers.

Good luck today, sending some pixie dust!

All the storms this week missed us. Even Walt didn't want to walk his little paws down the driveway this afternoon. If nothing else the rain we are getting at the moment should cool the cars, parking lots, roofs and roads down. We have 3-4 more days of this.

Walt on the other hand loves snow. This heat has him walking three or four blocks and he is done. Jumps in his pool and comes in and lays on the A/C vent of his pickings

Walt and I are kindred spirits. :inlove: ;) (By the way, Jack's not a fan of the heat either.) Today is supposed to be brutal--up to 95 and humid. Ugh! :eek: Thank goodness I'm on vacation this week so I don't have to deal with commuting to work in this heat. (Most of this week has been o.k. with only one really hot day--but today will be the hottest day of the week here.)

Yep, I believe @Cesar R M point is the people in charge of creating most of those measurements, lawyers and legislators. I'd add in lobbyists that also fund the legislators campaigns. They are subjective measurements at best, flawed and inconsistent.

exactly, also the part where some hotels do not follow the "21, you're adult" as a set place to accept you in the room.
I've read some hotels even put the 25 years as minimum to rent a room.

So last evening, I attended a community outreach event to support our local police. (A friend of mine from an environmental group that I belong to, emailed me about it the other day.) That's what I like about our little city here (it's more like an oversized town, versus a city, but whatever . . . it's not huge like Boston, for example).

Anyway, many of our elected officials, about 10 clergy from various faiths throughout the city, and I'd say around 600 residents showed up--not bad, for an event that was just thrown together quickly about 4 days ago. Members of the clergy spoke about the diversity in our community (apparently, there are now students speaking up to 50 languages now in our local schools :jawdrop: ) and they also expressed a message of peace and tolerance to everyone--not just the police officers. They also acknowledged our firemen as well. (Children in the crowd had drawn pictures of support for the dept., and handed those to the police. That was really nice.)

My buddy from the environmental group took me over to the veterans' wall and showed me his name carved in the Viet Nam section. I could tell he was very proud of that. (Oh, to clarify this--the veterans' wall was in the same area as the outreach event.)

It was hot out last night and I debated whether to go, but was glad I did. I shook the hand of the chief of police as I left. We see so much turmoil in the news across the country (and world) these days, that it's important to support positive energy in our own community, as grassroots efforts are often where change comes about.

No one is questioning their subjectivity or consistency, I am talking about the reason why it isn't strange that they might use either standard to their advantage. You can vote (and die in a war) at age 18 and then if you survive you can have a drink when you are 21. Both quite adult activities. (this year excluded) That is current set of rules we have and that is the reason that they can and do make calculated policy that benefits their business. The public had the bulk of the say in either of those items. You want to blame any factor you can blame the sanctimonious right. Those that want to be able to feed their military machine and at the same time appear to have a moral stand against the evils of alcohol. We the people are still the ones that allow those things to remain the way they are if it is objected to enough. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Lawyers will only get what jury's give them. Again, we the people.

Good morning everyone! I saved my housecleaning for today, and I totally don't feel it but it must be done! Anyone want to come over and clean for me!? :) Well after I clean I will finish Disneyland packing. The dog will not be a fan of either task this morning.

Sorry no I'm getting my house in order today. I think I found a hotel for our Kennedy stay.:joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull: Sleep number bed and the pool might just be what we're looking for. Waiting to hear back from my dh to see what he thinks.
