I forgot Sanaa. I would get two servings of the bread service with all the dips. And an adult drink!

I think I'd have to try one of the places I wanted to go, but couldn't because DS wouldn't eat there...like nine dragons or one of the Mexican pavillion places...San Angel looked so pretty with the ride going right by, but I think it was the Hacienda one that I wanted to go to. Or maybe that rotating one in The Land....or maybe California Grill since I've heard such great things about it. It's hard to choose!! Is there one that's simply air conditioned rather than refrigerated a la Arendelle, the frozen period?

 

[Songbird76]

Hubby just brought me flowers! He said it was to send me good wishes for going back to school tomorrow (the kiddos are there tomorrow).

That's so sweet!! You have a keeper!

 

[Songbird76]

I'm not a school bread fan either.

*gasp* there are more people out there who don't like it? I thought I must be the only one! Everyone else seems to LOVE it. Oh well...can't like everything, right? And fortunately there are lots of other things that I DID like, so we certainly didn't starve.

 

[Songbird76]

I can understand that--for the "live" entertainment. Sonny Eclipse is THE MAN!!

Oh man!!! It was on my list and I TOTALLY FORGOT TO GO THERE! How did I manage that?? All my lists and planning and I completely forgot that one. It must be because hubby and the kids wanted to go to Pinocchiohaus on our first MK day, which wasn't on my list, and I ended up skipping lunch that day because there was nothing on the menu that sounded good, and I had planned on going somewhere else, but it took so long at Pinocchiohaus that it was past the lunch hour and we had an earlyish dinner ADR and I didn't want to spoil it, plus we were heading back to our room for a nap and I didn't want to take the time. Well...I hope it's still there next time we make a trip.

It is awkward sittinf by yourself. I don't mind when I'm at school or Panera's, but at a full service place, it's just plain awkward. I did it at BWI post-blizzard. I had to change my flight from coming home a day early to a few hours before my parents, so I went to a restaurant inside the airport to eat a decent dinner. It was super awkward. But the food was good.

I hate eating in any type of restaurant myself...I always feel like everyone is looking at me, judging me. They probably aren't, but it feels that way.

I'm so sorry you missed him! I remember you saying it was on your list and was so excited for your kids to see Sunny. I can see with kids your age how easy it would be to spend some extra time in Fantasyland.

christ on a cracker.. so much bad luck.
my first flight was delayed 3 hours because engine problems. the engine refused to speed up and it turned out it was a broken "spark plug".
last time I fly in this company using these crappy russian built planes.
then, they misplaced our baggage because they were marked as connection, but the plane already had left to miami.
it took them 2 goddarn hours to find them, unbelievable.
then took my mother and I 2 hours fighthing the manager..
anyway, lost my connection and these clowns of the airline refused to align me with any other airline (other airlines had available flights) and they refused, im stuck at mexico city until tomorrow early morning.

I'm sorry you are having bad luck! That's ridiculous that they wouldn't help you get to your destination. Are you going to make your cruise? You had a few extra days built in, right?

I was carrying around an expired Epi Pen because I thought that I didn't have a current one. I thought I was going to have to talk to my allergist about what to do with the whole pricing controversy.

Then I went into my medicine cabinet and found I actually have a current two pack that doesn't expire until Dec. 31. So we'll either hit our deductible and I can get new ones, or maybe something will have been done about the ridiculous price hikes. Phew.

Glad you are covered! How often do you need the epi pens?

It doesn't bother me to eat alone if need be in a restaurant. If I'm hungry and have to eat so be it. Sometimes I feel a bit more comfortable at a table than in a bar setting when I'm alone.

 

[Songbird76]

Hey!! I just realized I'm all ketchupped! Good thing...I'm going to be behind again after today because I work tonight and tomorrow during the day. We were supposed to start new hours tonight and I'd have been working from 7 to 11 pm and then having to go in tomorrow morning as soon as the kids were at school, but the delivery company can't make the later pickup time, so I work from 6-10 (hopefully it's not so busy that we go later). An extra hour in there to sleep. Whew!

Here's your Peanuts..

Thanks! (Now I have the theme song in my head)

I have much respect for teachers and the carp you put up with on a regular basis.

Thanks! First day of school today with kids. I'm going to be tired today.

The prices are absurd for a medication that costs a few dollars to make and can be the difference between life and death.

I signed a petition calling for the prices to come down, which I rarely sign petitions. I also wrote the company a strongly-worded letter. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about replacing mine quite yet.

The problem is not just with the epi pens but with a lot of medications. The mark up on insulin is crazy too. But how to change it?

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Good luck and I hope you have a good year and nice kids.

Thanks! I hear the kids are nice but challenging academically, we'll see I guess.

Sonny eclipse better not go away. He's classic!

Doesn't bother me much to eat alone either. Although on solo trips I usually do quick service or sit at the bar.

The school bread at epcot was nice but no where near as nice as the locally baked version in Geiranger

My vacation got off to a rocky start. I won't go into all the details of the drama, but our party of 6 is now a party of 4. Here we are yesterday at DHS. Too much rain for my liking. However our 2nd day was much more profitable. I am slacking in the photo department. However due to all the rain, not too many Photopass pics, and very few on my regular camera. My foot hurt like crazy yesterday, so I started my 6 day packet of medication today. We are suppose to go to the Animal Kingdom today, but I think we should switch to Epcot. I will see what the others say. We planned a noon start today. Not raining now, I guess we should have left early. I have more pics on my iPhone than on my camera. That is unusual for me.

Glad you are covered! How often do you need the epi pens?

I carry them all the time. My friends even know where to find it in my bag if they see me start to shut down when we're out. My inhaler lives in the same place as the epi pen so that it can always be found if I for some reason can't get to it.

As far as actually needing it, I've needed it about three times in my life. Never for food allergies (which is why I initially had it). Twice to medication and once to a vaccine. I haven't needed to use one in more than three years. It's really important for me to have one because anaphylaxis could happen at any time for me.

THNX for sharing and I hope you manage to find ways to have fun and stay dry!

You're one smart cookie. I know somebody who needs one and can never remember where she puts hers, I make sure when we go someplace she has one with her. Or least I try and remember!
