Oh my gosh, I've never been able to actually find my name on anything anywhere. I've seen my real name spelled wrong, but never my nickname. The only personalized item I have is a shell with my real name spelled correctly that a friend of mine found in the Florida Keys and brought back for me because she knew I could never find anything personalized.

My mom could never find her name on anything either. She finally found a keychain in Epcot China with her name spelled correctly. Did they have my name? Of course not. It'll probably take until I'm 50 to find my name on anything.

Buy a coupla' glasses at one of those specialty shops and have them engrave the correct spelling of your name on them. ;)

So cool! I hope the youngest can ride all the rides at UNI this June, I want to spend a couple days there. I'm not familiar with Harry Potter, but who cares....It looks amazing.

Yep, I'm not really a Potter fan, and we personally have not been to USO, but, from everything I've seen, the theming looks pretty amazing.
Looking forward to getting there someday...! :)

Depending upon the reason why a specialist MD is needed, it can take a few months to get an appt. as a new patient. Unfortunately, that's not at all uncommon.

It's funny. I've never had a problem getting an appointment with a specialist in due course.
I recently had to have an ultrasound (haven't posted about it before) of a lump that was in a place a lump shouldn't be. Fortunately, it turned out to be a benign cyst, but, it was a bit scary.
When I called the imaging place to set up the ultrasound appointment, they initially told me my copay was going to be something like $380...?!?!?! :eek:
I told them I had had similar tests before and it had all been covered in total. She researched it, and said "Yes, you have one of the good plans. You're covered at 100%."
Phew! I need to keep this job, or win the lottery...!!! :hilarious: ;)

And not only is the bacon delicious, but it's served on those elegantly designed paper plates--of which your company must have bought at least 50 cases! I believe that if you're still posting here on Magic in the next 20 years, we'll all still be seeing that same paper plate design for all the food treats you show us!! :hilarious: :hilarious:

:joyfull: :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious:
As I've posted before, I've tried to get the new Office Manager to change to Disney-themed paper ware, but, to no avail. :( :D ;)
And, yes, probably, but, I hope I can figure out a way to retire well before then...!!! :hilarious: :)

That must have been hard to let the car go; I know you really loved your Caddie. But heck, the cost of repairs now is so expensive, that they often cost more than to replace the car. :(

Yep, there's definitely a crossing point. I loved my two Hyundai's, but, just too many things going wrong at 180,000-ish miles.
Keep in mind, these were not the newer models...the first was an '88 Excel, and the second was a 97 Accent.
The Impala I drive now is doing fine, but, those two Hyundai's were the best cars I've ever owned...so far...! ;)

You could always buy those modern mitsubishi or medium end car. they have tons of buttons (most of them useless according to top gear lol) to keep you busy :hilarious:

But yeah, not easy to let a baby go after that many years of having it.
I still havent let go my dad's car. Which was a "high end" (back then, with all electric, all whistles..etc..) Ford Focus rancher style car.
It wont be long until I will have to say good bye as well (tons of repairs lately, so far it has costed me between 1,000 to 2,000 USD on repairs (and trust me, repairmen/mechanics charge here like 10% of what americans mechanics charge. So pretty extensive repairs on engine AND brakes stuff)

Also, you mean BOSE sound system?
I swear BOSE while good, is pretty overrated and overpriced. Kinda like the Apple of the sound systems.
I still remember when Harman Kardon were super popular and the "luxury audio" brand to go for audio stuff before falling down again.

Yep, I too remember the Harman Kardon days...superior audio, big-time...!!!!! :happy:

They're like the first 3 Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies to me, I watch those older Bond movies anytime I can when they come on. :)

The original Bonds (years ago) were much better. I have seen all the Bond films up to the present, and I far prefer the older films. But part of that is because of the scripts, wardrobe, and special effects of years ago were so far "out there" back then. Nowadays, we just take those unique spy weapons, etc., in stride. Back in the day, those various devices, etc., were so cutting edge and exciting--real Bond stuff. ;)
