My ex is being whiny about flying through Atlanta to MCO. Granted, I'm not a fan either, but other routes are $200 more a person and the one other flight is Akron to Baltimore to Orlando. Almost 8 hours to get there. Ummm, no. Hello Atlanta.

Good grief. If he doesn't want to "suffer" a layover, tell 'im he can pay the difference for a direct flight. Is that really too much to ask of this guy...?!
We had a layover in Atlanta on our Princess 5K trip back in Feb. It was only about 1.5 hrs., and we just had fun piddlin' 'round the airport for a little bit. No big deal, and it cost us a helluva' lot less...!

Yep, didn't bother me at all. See my previous post about our local bat colony.
It was just weird to find it laying on my office floor.

Me, not such a fan. Yes they eat bugs but those little boogers in our area are 'protected' and yet they carry rabies in our area. My DD has had 2 encounters with bats in the last 5 years. One on her dorm floor hallway and they were confined to their rooms until they could figure out what to do legally with the dude. (and the bathrooms were off the hallway) 2nd in her vestibule of her apartment at least she could use a bathroom for that little bat.

Chicago airports are known for their timely issues. So is Atlanta, where they send us as a connection to MCO. I gave up over the years. We wound up giving up too many hours and a couple time a day over missed connections or getting stuck in Atlanta. Just not worth the aggravation or missed ADRs and park time. We fly now direct only to MCO though we still experience delays especially leaving MCO.
We have gone to leaving out of Midway because SW offers very competitive airfares direct, about the same price as a connecting flight to MCO from Ohare but it is a longer haul by taxi.

Always get an awful feeling when I hear a flight for life helicopter fly over.

Proud wuss here! 50ish and raining Olaf fleece jammies were worn last night and several layers of fleece are going to be on me when I head out, a nice warm(what you'd call scalding hot) bath when I get back with a relaxation Basin bath bomb just to try and warm up. Have I ever mentioned how much I love summer?

Amen Sister Friend.

 

[Gabe1]

Here. I already paid for you. The office is open now.

 

[Gabe1]

Yup ... I don't work Mondays ...

Spoiler: hmm

Although Mrs Ferret would argue i don't work any day of the week

If it makes you feel better my DS works 6 days a week and my DD works 7. Youth do pay their dues to get ahead.

 

[Gabe1]

Some coworkers want to go to go to Haunted Fort Adams next weekend and I'm like

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not a fan of being scared or frightened, let alone paying someone to scare the jabbers out of me.

[Gabe1]

Thank you. She's an old soul in a young body.

Your daughter seems to be following the same path as my DD. Born an adult with wisdom beyond their years.

Go Cubs. I would like to see a Cleveland/Chicago series.

I'm so excited it is Cleveland. My Sis is a loyal Cubs fan and a seasons ticket holder for Cleveland. Likely to be happy no matter how this one turns.

Me either, I love rescue dogs, that's all we have ever had.

Out of the 10 pups we've (DWifey and myself) had over the last 27 years, all but 2 we're pound puppies. Tucker and Abby were registered AKC black lab pups that I bought DWifey for one of her b-days.
We've had Patrick, PJ, Molly, Pepper, Abby, Tucker, Beau, Indy, Belle, and Ranger...
I guess you could say we're a bit of a pup family...!

Me in extreme humididididity!!!!

Yep that is me too. I'd straighten my hair in the morning in Florida and by 9am my hair looked like I had been electrocuted. Thank goodness for ponytails.

My husband is very anxious about the game tonight. He has to perform a wedding ceremony this afternoon and is anxious he won't be back from the wedding/reception in time for the first pitch.

I love when men of the cloth are just like the rest of the guys and gals. The ones that genuinely get life.

It's a good day when you can buy local tomatoes the week before Halloween I know what I'm having for lunch

I wish I were you at lunchtime today. Our tomatoes are getting funky already

 

[Gabe1]

It was real tofu bacon

I was unaware of these. Now I would love these....

Happy shopping. Go look at Home Depot

Wow that is a lot of Pup love. In more years than that we had Holiday, Tuffy, Cinnamon, Jethro Bodine and Walt. Holiday had the shortest life span, my springer that only lived 4 months.

Sympathy like.
You know my biggest heartache was the way Indy went. He was the coolest pup. I still get teary-eyed over losing him...


Yep, a lot indeed.
But, we've also had as many as 3 pups at the same time.
We just love our pups...!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, sorry for that bit of a downer note...I just really miss that pup. I AM actually human, after all...!!!
The sweetest of dreams to one and all...!
Laterrrrrrrsssssssssss...!!!

That wasn't really morning for me, just being an insomniac. Actually fell back asleep after the sun came up and slept in.
