We've never been to F&W, but, I've heard many stories (be they exaggerated or not) about folks on the inaugural night (as well as through the whole "celebration") bein' poop-faced, floor-crawlin', commode-huggin' drunk.
Many face dates with the porcelain God.
Personally, I don't want to be plastered at WDW. A cool buzz every now and then, but, not three sheets to the wind bombed. :confused:
I've heard similarly too. Hell, theres people who boast about "drinking 'round the world" til they cant stand upright D:

so my work is mixed with full time contractors and regular workers. A couple regular workers gave their two weeks yesterday fueling the rumours from earlier this year that the place will disappear soon.

I haven't gotten a job I want since college so....

Weird day today I finally had to sell my Caddy, because it was having some serious engine problems. Problems that I cannot fix due to lack of tools, place to do it and expertise. Engine repair is no where near as easy as it once was. Now days if you have to fix something like a head gasket the engine has to be pulled out and they want 6K to do that for an 11 year old car that, at best, books for $1500. So I finally gave in and sold it to a young guy that did have the space and the ability to repair it for a lot less then that and leased a new VW Passat. Has almost none of the whistles, bells and switches that my old girl had, but, is at least dependable and otherwise covered under warranty. I spent a small fortune on this car over the last few years and believe me absolutely nothing on a Cadillac is cheap, but, it got to be just to much for a retired person trying to make his money stretch out for the rest of my life and at the same time trying to stretch out the length of my live. So I say a sorrowful goodbye to an old machine and hello to a new less impressive one.

In with the new! (not the same color, the new one is a nice tan.) They were out of red, sadly.
May you have many happy years of driving it.

Heard about similar scenarios over the years in various businesses. Sometimes there's truth to it; other times, it's just the rumor mill. People leave, and others replace them. The business goes on. Haven't a clue what's really going on where you work, but just wanted to share that thought as well.

Well, yesterday turned out to be quite the day.

Some sad news today. After a prolonged illness, my wife of 29 years passed away last evening. Although we were divorced several years ago, I spent almost half my life as her husband while we grew a life, raised a great family, operated a business and generally worked through the many trials and tribulations of life.

She was a woman of many accomplishments including two Masters Degrees, one in Nursing and the other in Gerontology and many other talents as well. She was not without her problems, but, overall did the best she could against many personal hardships. I am going to do my best to remember the good times, the dreams and the successes because in the long haul that is all that really matters. Rest In Peace, Gail!

I was just running out to work, but I saw this and logged back in for a minute. I want to express my sincere condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace.

You just described the majority of the singers of the past 20 years.
Also, arent you exaggerating a bit? I can even understand what she is saying and that is a given considering my deafness :p
Most singers I can make out what they're saying enough to be able to sing the song.

Adele might be singing, "Blah, blah blah blah," and I'd never know it.

In some ways, I wish I liked her, but I don't. She's one of the few singers out there who's not a size zero, and that's refreshing. At the same time, I just don't care for her music.

The rumor is true, it's just a matter of when.

Let's just say I work for an organization that should downside and I never cared for this place in my life. I only started working here because I had nothing else.

We went to food and wine last year and by the end of the night there were some drunkies. But with the popularity of drinking around the world at Epcot it didn't seem much different than any other busy Epcot night.
