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..

Yeah. But seriously I doubt that that many 'wealthy' people are the ones that will be renting these pup tents. More the guests that have some wiggle room in their vacation budgets and get as much enjoyment out living the wealthy life for a short amount of time. I've stayed in some of the deluxe resorts a few times when the stars have aligned correctly however anywhere near rack rate isn't something I should be doing or pretending I can afford. I genuinely love Riverside and the French Quarter and they serve me nicely for how much time I actually spend at the resort.

If I were to ever splurge on a Cabana it would most likely be at a place like Castaway Cay where I wasn't paying park admission to sit in a tent.

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...

There are large puddles around and the river spilled, lots of water for this time of year but the trees will be happy and nothing seems to have been damaged, no high winds or thunder etc., best of all this could have been a mega snow storm so I'll take it!

Thanks, I knew my former Dr. was right about tequila. My Mom was going bonkers by this time, she didn't approve liquor of any kind. I just take it day by day!

I admire that!

I'm having more issues with my Mom. She has a primary that I don't like. She is nice enough but she knows how churn and send my Mom to all sorts of doctors and tests that rack up the bills, padding Docs income. I took her a few years ago to a referred to specialist to be scoped, throat, tummy etc. I was in the seated in the waiting room. He had an assembly line going of every 10-15 minutes knocking out a patient, scope, talk to a patient etc. I heard the same exact thing said to every single patient (and separated from family coming out of anesthetic.) Something doesn't look quite right, looks like pre cancer small lumps, nothing to worry about now but we will do this test again in two months. Seriously every single patient was identical???? Every single patient was a Senior/Medicare. Insert the word cancer...hook line and sinker. I went back and picked up tests. Took her to see a well know specialist in the same field. His response was he wasn't seeing what the other Doc was seeing. He told her not to worry and she didn't need to come back unless she started experiencing symptoms.

On Thanksgiving she tells me Primary is MAKING her go back and be scoped again. To Primary's group twit Doc again. Frustrated I blurted out MAKING YOU??? You're a grown woman you can say NO, she can't make you and you are not having any issues with throat or stomach. Then I reminded her of the issues with that practice and that Doc and what the other Doc had said. So frustrating.

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.

I love squirrels, they are funny animals. They bring me joy. Unfortunately, we don't have any. Just bunnies, that my neighbor traps, humane and takes them to an open field. So I don't have woodland creatures, anymore. I miss watching them. Thanks for the best Christmas Card ever. I will consider this as my card from you! xoxo

I think that's a great idea! There's cameras on all our school buses and schools. It cut down on kids getting bullied and there's now a stairwell in the high school that gets monitored for other reasons:eek: BTW if they had read what they signed the first day of school they would have known about the cameras:rolleyes:
Stairwells can be a s.. education class. DD had to be at school early for dance team. Often she had to step over students....

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:
For years, when we got into playing pool, our living room housed our pool table. When we got over that we went to the family T.V. and puzzle table.

Ha! I have a set of "guilt" china, too. ;) An elderly aunt gave the entire set to me years ago. The pattern is just so "not" me. I never wanted it, and don't use it. It's a pain in the butt to have hauled it around in storage bins, to all the various places I've lived in, since I moved away from home in my early 20s. I'd love to get rid of it, but I have all this guilt about it . . . :cautious:

Now, I do have a smaller amount of Lenox Christmas china that I love. Bought all the pieces myself, over the years. It's not a complete set (I don't need that), but enough for 6 place settings, and a few nice serving pieces. I use it once a year at Christmas and that's enough for me. (I even use a linen tablecloth & napkins, Gabe! Now that's what I call downright civilized behavior once a year!! :D )
Good for you. I'm like Gabe....for holiday's I love Chinet. No washing and still good for food.

Sympathy like and a warm hug.
Thanks, I hoping you are still getting warmer weather. Nothing in winter is warm. It's windy and cold today. I have on the fireplace, as it has a heater. And the Christmas tree lights. Let's just say I'm in a happy mood! I couldn't hear our door bell anymore, so hubby bought a door alarm when he comes and goes. He has it set for the Christmas Season....It plays We Wish you a Merry Christmas, when he leaves and comes home. Now, I'm not startled when he comes in....
