I don't like the bendy view you see from side seats. I'm surprised Disney OK'd that as good enough. Still from the center I really liked 2.0 but miss the oranges. As they flying into WDW they could have visited a few orange orchards along the way in.

Yep. My kids had some very sad news yesterday. A mutual friend of theirs for a long time was killed in a car crash the day before yesterday. Don't know still what happened but it was 3 cars, 3 dead, 1 car driver OK cause the semi didn't run over that particular car like the other two-just not enough time I hear for the semi to avoid the collision ahead. They were in route to a basketball game, her being a coach. School was cancelled yesterday. Horrible.

I hate winter.

I was not having very nice, warm or seasonal thoughts this morning at 3am. More if I let my thoughts take over my actions I would have been screaming out my front door or window at the fool in my neighborhood snowblowing the sidewalks. 3 O'CLOCK in the FREAK'N MORNING and snow blowers are so loud. My mind was not sending out good tidings for comfort and joy nor Peace on Earth.

So what did I do? I crawled out of bed peeked through the blinds, saw what I thought I was lovingly hearing. Had evil thoughts and crawled back in my warm bed and stuck my head under my pillow.

So . . . on a Saturday morning your lunatic, insomniac neighbor decides to snowblow the sidewalk?? Did I read that correctly??!! :eek: I can understand not getting up, throwing on coat and going out to yell at the loser; but maybe someday when it's daylight, and you see him (or her) out there, perhaps just casually mention how disruptive it was . . . :cautious:

Reminds me of a night a few years ago when one of the neighbors (across the way--set back away from the street) took out one of his toys to play with at about 3 AM as well. (He works for the DPW and has all kinds of trucks, etc. at his disposal.) It was some sort of tractor thing (front loader?) and he decided to knock down trees and brush on his land -- at 3 AM. The noise would wake up the dead from the "pruning" he was doing, and of course, the continual backing up of the vehicle . . .beep . . .beep . . . beep . . :banghead:

So, hubs politely mentioned to him (about 2 weeks later) that he might want to do that sort of thing in the daytime, from now on. :rolleyes:

My Daughter: Sure hope the wreath is OK :geek:

Me: Oh no, why would you put a wreath chew toy (jacks mind) on floor (where things for dog are placed) and leave the wreath unattended? ;)

Yike! Will hubs be able to drive you to work? Be well.

But it's not a chew toy -- except HE thought it was . . . :rolleyes: I literally was out at the closet for no more than 30 seconds when I caught him running with it. Never thought that would happen, but with Jack, one must anticipate bizarre and unexpected behavior!! :banghead:

Love your DD's comment--and yes, the wreath was more important to me than my injuries! ;)

Doing better this morning. Still have some minor discomfort, but I'm much better than yesterday afternoon. :)

That's a wonderful experience all around, and thanks for sharing those pictures. When I see people giving their time and energy to help others, it helps a bit to restore my faith in humanity.

That's one thing I miss from my original hometown:(
Click to expand...

In Rockport, MA, (seacoast town), they have Santa arrive on a lobster boat every Christmas season. It's a big deal and a huge crowd turns out. I went to see that one year, and it was fun!! :joyfull:

P.S.: You can't see from this stock photo, but the other side of the view is high rocky cliffs where many people line up (hundreds of them) and also down into the dock area--the place is packed. What's particularly funny is that the adults in the crowd seemed to be more excited and animated to see Santa, than the kids! :D
