Out for me folks, have a fun evening.

So, oldest DDs European Vacation started off on July 6th and they will fly back to the states on the 31st. Almost over, but, she is having the time of her life...!!!
It started in London, then they traveled to Glasgow, Scotland, then by ferry across the Irish Sea to Dublin, then to Ennis, Ireland. Then, it was back to Dublin for a few days before flying to Cologne, Germany for a few more days. They flew back to Dublin from Cologne today and are now staying at a place near the ocean in Brittas Bay, Ireland, south of Dublin.
Wow, what a trip it has been for her...!!!

Hmph. Thanks to a pair of drunk fans, Oriole Park Security's number is now in my phone.

I hope you can get what you need at a reasonable price.

its a 2000 USD discount, so definitively worth fighting for.

And the drunk fans just got escorted out by the police.

Were you singing nah nah nah nah hey hey hey goodbye, as they were being ushered out?

Wish I had thought of that!

They were such a-holes. Normally our fans are pretty courteous. These guys were not. The one guy argued with the cops after they had already been warned by a manager. Real bright.

Walt and I are kindred spirits. (By the way, Jack's not a fan of the heat either.) Today is supposed to be brutal--up to 95 and humid. Ugh! 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.)

I would think with the times of day you commute the "heat of the day" up where you live wouldn't be a major issue. During the summer here it's usually in the mid to high '70's when we wake up. When I go to open my car door at the end of the day in the office parking lot, it's usually like opening an oven door, and I have to step back for a few seconds before diving in.
Although, this summer it hasn't been as bad.
Seems like public transportation would be mostly optimally conditioned/heated when you got on without having to worry about it.
Anyway, you know me...I mostly love the heat...!

@figmentfan423 , looks like just 7 more days until the BIG VACATION!!! It seems like you've been planning this for ages, and now it's only a week away.

OK, maybe a coupla' dreams 'til the actual day...!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, I'm a goner...
Y'all be cool, and sweet Disney dreams to all...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

goddammit, Just tried to order the upgrade kit... and just found that the promotion for discount trade-in for my old processor.. ended 20 days ago. There is nothing of that info in their site! Now I need to find a way to save 1,000 USD more.. which I do not have.. grrrrr

Sympathy like. I hope you can find a good deal or come into some extra money. Good luck

@figmentfan423 Are you suddenly becoming a night owl?

 

[Gabe1]

.

We have Olathe sweet corn out here. I went to the store early this morning, and it was sold out.

Sadness

 

[Figgy1]

@Mr Ferret 88 isn't strange; he's unique -- just like me!

Not like you. You're sweet, caring, considerate, have an excellent eye for seeing the best in everything and he's well @Mr Ferret 88

 

[Figgy1]

@figmentfan423 Are you suddenly becoming a night owl?

Just a bit of pre trip insomnia. I fell asleep by 7 in the recliner. It's super comfy to fall asleep in but not so much for sleeping all night.

 

[Figgy1]

My jaw dropped--are you saying that a full service restaurant at WDW is actually ACCEPTING WALK-UPS??!! Did I read that correctly??

Yes and that is the perfect place to make a walk up. Or at least it was until they changed the menu

I'm so happy she's having a grand adventure

Good! I've seen a few silly people drinking around the world. Nobody loud or obnoxious, just silly. The funniest was a group of you gentlemen wearing shirts with check boxes next to each country. They had checked off a few countries when it started to rain. Guess who didn't use a sharpie and had ink running down their shirts. A small bit of planning would have prevented that, one word Sharpie

 

[Gabe1]

Ah, yes. I was young, and in love with the boy. Age old story. And so far, working out pretty good.

My family moved around a lot growing up, thanks to my Dad's job in sales, so I have lived in every region except South. The way DH talks, that might change in our retirement years. Started off in Jersey (hi, @figmentfan423 ), moved to California--15 minute drive to DL. Learned how to mini golf right across the street. Back to Jersey (hello, again, Figgy!). Then off to Michigan for a few (I mean 2) years, than on to Wisconsin (hi, @ajrwdwgirl. Hope you are having a great day!) And then, after college, he got a job here first, so per our agreement, I moved here. So, I have had a taste of life in a few places.

And speaking of taste--the peaches I get from R and B Farms at the market are just juice down your chin good! The only ones I have bought from an actual store that I like are the fancy packed ones at Trader Joe's. And you have to get those right away, because they sell out fast.

Wooba! You moved a lot woman! Me, always an Illinoisan though I've tried multiple times from young to change that hahaha!

But Dear Lord, I googled R&B Farms. They are all the way down in Marion. Last year I did have a box of the Trader Joe ones last year. There is a Trader Joes where my Mom lives so my timing was good. They were yummy. Are they out yet? Sam's carries 3 varieties of Peaches, they too have the fancy packed ones. I'll have to look at the name on the box the next time I'm there.
