Congratulations to him!
Hope he enjoys that promotion! (specially if he gets paid way better )

Thank you. I am so happy for him. And yes the leap into a completely different salary category is wonderful as is a much bigger office. Much more space to Display all those Disney 'toys' and pictures.

Well, we went to my mom's dentist and after x-rays and all he said the extra teeth were normal and the other teeth underneath (which all fell out once already) were her baby teeth and will eventually fall out. Ummmmm, no they aren't dude! Darn waste of my time there. So I'm working with my insurance to get a second opinion. In the x-ray it shows she has six extra teeth.

Oh my. Sympathy like.
I hope it all gets sorted out post haste.
I don't think I've heard of this before. How rare is something like this...?

I actually strayed from beer tonight...I had a glass of wine while I had a bubble bath.

Went for a walk on the nature trail around our local quarry today. Slightly up and down but a nice walk.

Today I went to the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens (which I got into for free because of my being an NYU student), and I also walked across the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan. Tomorrow I am thinking of going to Coney Island.

What is everyone else up to?

Not that! It would be a long walk from Austin, Texas...!
Sounds like you're having fun at college! Good to hear...!
I've actually been to NYC 3 times, but, the last time was back in '89 to watch a buddy of mine run the marathon. Good times...!

We have Quarry Lake here. They were digging and they hit a spring...end of quarrying, beginning of lake! It filled up so quickly, a bunch of equipment ended up remaining in the water where it still sits at the bottom to this day...!

I saw them trading other items but it seemed all 3 times my ds traded he got parts. BTW he was very happy about that

Parts is parts...!

If they go any deeper here it will be in the water table.

Happy belated birthday to your dd

Thanks Figgy!
It's crazy that our youngest is 22 years old...!
Where the heck does the time go...?!?!?!

 

[donaldtoo]

Apparently, they didn't pay close enough attention to that here.
It happened decades ago and was posted as off limits, but, us snot-nosed little buggers used to sneak in to go cliff jumping and swimming all the time...

 

[donaldtoo]

Hello roomie! I come equipted with a smoker and some culinary skills

That definitely makes for an impressive resume...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Happy farm market Saturday! I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can still get some really good tomatoes. Hope all of you have a great weekend!

Same to you, Figgy!
Back to the grind tomorrow...!

But they have a tailor there. I do wish DS wasn't turning out to be a glorified mall.

Yea, it looks pretty, but, it sure sounds like it's just another outdoor mall.
We've got plenty of them around here, why would I want to spend a bunch of time at another one just because it's at WDW...?!
Oh, that's right, it's a Magical outdoor mall...
I know we'll be checking it out on our next trip (whenever that is, not my choice ), but, I'm not excited.

Some of the eatin places there look good though.

Our neighbours new ride ...

Is that a Ferrari Testarossa...?!

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

Is that a Ferrari Testarossa...?!

Something like that not sure exactly which model.

 

[donaldtoo]

Yep, I will concede that.
Probably better then the food court at our local mall.
But, are they really worth the premium price...?

 

[donaldtoo]

Something like that not sure exactly which model.

The side fins visible on the left side make me think it is, but, then again, I'm a bit more familiar with those older Ferraris like that than the newer ones. I see them on my commute to and from work all the time, but, I don't really know what models they are for the life of me anymore.

 

[donaldtoo]

Wow! That looks fantastic! You really know all the best places to eat. If hubby and I ever make it to Austin we will have to have you plan our food itinerary.

Hahaaa...!
That would be awesome!
But, I would have both DDs plan it for y'all...they know all the best places, and are constantly discovering more...!!!!!

I noticed last night I only had enough bubble bath for one more bath, so when I went to Wal-Mart today that was the first section I hit. I think this school year is going to be full of relaxing Friday night bubble baths! And I only have 6 Mickey bath bombs for the school year! I might have to figure out how to get to Basin at Disney Springs or the GF to stock up in November.

I'm still not exactly sure what a "bath bomb" is (I know, I could just google it ), but, it sounds intriguing...
