Yea, I'm a bit flummoxed (OK, I just wanted to type "flummoxed", but, I still am ;)) by this latest move, too. So high-priced and so unattractive. :confused:
The only thing I can figure is that this is a relatively inexpensive (OK, flat-out cheapo :cyclops:) test, trying to determine if there is actually enough "demand" :rolleyes: to put in more permanent, themed, units later (for even more money)...?! o_O
I wonder what it would be like sheltering in one of those tents during one of those infamous, vicious, Central Florida summertime pop-up t-storms...?!
Actually, I don't hafta' wonder...
I remember sheltering in Innoventions during one of those on one of our early trips with the kiddos. The automatic sliding doors kept opening with people flocking in to take shelter, and every time they did, in came the wind-blown rain plus the flash and crack of the thunder and lightening right on top of us.
I kid you not, there were kiddos (and even a few adults) crying all around us.
We were OK, 'cause we're kinda' used to it (even so, it was pretty intense), but, I can't even imagine riding out one of those in a tent that I paid $650, in a WDW theme park of all places :rolleyes:, no matter how well they say it's battened down...!!! :hilarious: :cyclops:
There will be always demand for these kind of things.. sort of "a fool and his money..." think of the pizza huts on the poly..

I'm just the opposite. I love cards. :inlove: Actually, over the weekend, I finished writing all my Christmas cards (about 18 this year), and put them in the mailbox yesterday. :) The cards I bought had a pretty Christmas tree, and lots of animals--really cute. I love (fantasy) pictures like that, where all the animals play together (no tigers stalking smaller prey, etc. ;) )

P.S. to @FutureCEO -- Don't have a heart attack that I bought 18 cards -- they came in a box for a good price! :joyfull:

My Christmas Cards (14) have a Squirrel on them. (it is a mother/DD thing) I may even fill them out and mail them this year. Maybe.

You shared some good insight there. We all have a desire to be needed and feel productive.

I'm also independent, and I think I'd make a lousey senior citizen . . . I'd be out there in cold temperatures walking around in a blizzard, just as happy as can be . . . until I froze to death?! :eek: :p

:hilarious:
Just to make it clear, the like is for the obvious humor element in your post, and not for you potentially freezing to death...!!! :eek: :D ;)

Two weeks later (yes, I'm still that far behind on this thread :confused:), and we still haven't had a very noticeable cool front move through. Right now it's 68, and our high today was 81... :cyclops:

Quoting myself because, again, it's almost 2 weeks later, and our high today was 79.
It's 55-ish right now with a predicted low of 48, but that's still quite a bit above normal for this time of year, even for us. :cyclops:

I loved being a Mom too. DD turned out differently then me. I'm so glad she has chose her own path. I hope that means I did my job well. We have a very nice relationship, we respect each other's space, and allow each other to find our way. It wasn't always easy....the teen years were a test for both of us. But we have found a loving place to be. I hope she is my best work as an artist. Go where your heart tells you.

My DS was a pretty darn good teen, it is funny to look back though at the frustrations of him thinking he figured the whole world out. Biggest challenge with him was procrastination and time management. Since his staff is now either way younger than he is or way older than he is, he finds himself having to dig deep for patience. I smile silently.

DD was never really a kid or a teen. Oddly way too mature for her age no matter what her age was, strange wisdom from the get go. I'll take it.

I'm so glad my Mom didn't get into those. But our living room was only used for company. We live all over our house, we use the "formal dining room", to do puzzles as that is the biggest table...we watch T.V. in the living room, with no chair covers. And all the other rooms are used too. A house is to be lived in, right? lol

Yep, we think alike. We always used all of our rooms too. But shhhhh....my formal dining room it a family room-always. A better use of the space. My dining room furniture is at one end of the Great Room closest to the kitchen-the formal dining room as designed is off in another room off the opposite side of the kitchen. Figured we need the family room more than we needed a table to have its own room. Then again my formal china my Mom insisted I must have is still in its quilted zipper containers. Never used. My Mom is trying to unload her formal china on my DD. DD keeps finding reasons not to take it 'just yet.' :cyclops:

Lord said to Noah there's going to be a floody-floody....

It has been pouring all day here and on and off over the weekend. The river is spilling over tonight.

We haven't had any of that type of rain here in a little while...send us half, please...! ;)

Seriously, prayers it doesn't get bad...

We should be fine, the ground isn't frozen yet and it should end soon, it was really coming down the last 5 hours. On the upside this will be real good for the trees before the ground freezes.
