Japanese Olympic gymnast Kohei Uchimura a record 6x world champion may not be remembered for his skills as a gymnast at the Olympics in Rio.

The Gold medalist had run up a $4954 cell phone bill while in Rio-How? Playing Pokemon Go.

ooops.

Oh Goodness. Posted on Daily Mail....handed to parents of incoming Kindergarteners in Hamilton County, Ohio. One mother posted the list on Reddit and added 'I have failed to prepare my son for kindergarten,' the mother wrote.

Me, I read through half the list and spit my coffee.

I'm thinking the parents should write a list. The things a Kindergarten teacher should know before she is allowed to teach a 5 year old and create a list.

Wow, times have really changed. When I was in kindergarten, there were 26 letters in the alphabet.

I'd plop that in your signature on your various forums too. May as well go all out!.

Thank you!
I just got 10 USD from one of my older bosses, go figure.

Also, need to confirm my hearing clinic appointing too.

But better than no Disney at all. My understanding though is Zika has very little effects on people in general. It is the birth defect reality. If your DD is past having children, I'm thinking your Grandsons are way too young to be fathering any children to pass on the virus....there is little risk to your family dynamic from my understanding anyhow.

Thanks for the information, DD is not planning to expand her family. And you are right about the grandsons. Glad to know it's not a killing kind of virus. Yea, back to Disney for us!

We stayed on and off sight when I was a child. Hotel Row had some nice alternatives. My sons first 2 trips were off sight. Then the first moderate opened. I believe it was $89 for the fall pricing. Well within our budget. We never stayed off sight again. We budgeted $100 cash a day and never spent it all. We can't even buy park tickets for what was included in our first trip with my son, tickets, airfare, hotel, rent a car (off airport site car) and a complimentary breakfast and a visit to River Country. There were just two parks that year but the next year the studios was open. The first year we supplimented with Sea World. I still have my booking receipts for all my trips. Our last family trip was with 4 booked without discounts was $7500 at POR with park hoppers at POR. Our first with 4 was 2300 and that one included airfare.

We had some mighty gaps during those college years. I was more fortunate than most of my family as I got to go for short trips to see my son, take my DD for her sweet 16th, back to see son several times and for my DD college grad. Amen to college being done with.

I'll second that statement!

I'm one who hates, really hates the taste of beer. Still I enjoy Beer Batters and Beer based fondues. Like many other ingredients it gets lost in the overall ingredients. But I stop short of your fine use of Beer as a Hair Rinse. I'd be gagging just from the smell.

Interesting. Michael Phelps is to be the Flag Bearer for the Opening Ceremonies at Rio Olympics.

He is a well decorated olympian. He is also quite the colorful gentleman. Grabs headlines on
soooooooo many levels.

Might be nice treats for you guys. And leftovers if you each order your own pizza pie.

Can you imagine Disney marketing these? $200/60 minutes? Lots of water to see fireworks from.

Of course this is what I've been listening to on the news, my source. No claims to expertise. Then again I don't believe there are any experts as it appears scientists are just starting to wrap their own thoughts around Zika.

im going to try, but I swear its my internet provider.
and guess what?

The technicians came back today. And they explained what the hell was going on.
They told all I found to one of the top engineers, they sent a group to the ISP's main office in this area (where all the connections are, all the routers, servers..etc..)
And they exactly found that what I had said was true. They had faulty equipment and wrongly configured equipment making things worse.
But i did not expect it to be so many hardware to be damaged. So they told me top engineers are now going to be fixing all the mess in my zone.. and hopefully by next week the internet is going all normal working in the way it should have.

Thats a relief.

In other news.... I bought my planet tickets, going to Houston next week to buy my implant. going to be 5,000 USD in the hole debt wise.. but the implant processor is worth it.

As for me, even as it hurts my darn ego..
Id love if you guys could share this link: http://www.plumfund.com/medical-fund/help-me-maintain-my-hearing

I wish you all the best with all of the implant stuff.

I like beer cheese soup but that wouldn't be good for you.

Bad is an understatement.

@Gabe1 I am in the market for some good pillows, and I remembered that you were really in love with your pillows so I went back and found the link you posted about them. I also saw that you said that you had four of them. So this may sound silly but do you use all four of them when you sleep or just to relax? I'm a 1-2 pillow girl so I don't want to get something that is really thin.
