I'm very happy on the days the dishwasher only has to run once:confused:

Ha! Well, you have a whole troop over there, and you cook most of the meals. During the work week, my meals are at work, and then, I just sort of pick at stuff at home at night. Hubs cooks a bit more for himself during the week, but not every meal. Pretty much, it's just the weekend when I cook at home for the both of us.

OMG. You took my thoughts lol :hilarious:
I think it is great that the first person he chooses to target is exactly the same personality. Wishful thinking, but, it would be nice if he got the message that he isn't king of the world and there are others out there with a mindset like his own. He can't just say..."You're fired" and they just pack up and go home. Dangerous, dangerous time we have gotten ourselves into. Godspeed to all of the world at this point.

As an emotional point, I remember vividly the Cuban Missile Crisis. Was here for the Jack Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther Kings assassination. Riots, demonstrations, cities burning. I also spent a year of my young life in Vietnam and, maybe it's my age now, but, I have never been more afraid of the future then I am right now. Not even when people I didn't know were lobbing rockets and mortars in my general direction. We have no hero's to come to the rescue, all we have are spineless people in power to agree with everything, be it good or bad. Sort of the same as so many are accusing Disney Co. of being. Set ourselves up for today and don't even think about tomorrow.

Thanks.

In the meantime, Disney needs to cut prices. Tickets run about $44 currently. We went on Polka Dot day when tickets were half priced. When we first got there, the place was a ghost town. But once people realized that it was half priced, it suddenly got much mlre crowded. I think they should slash prices until they can figure out what to do with the space.

Try $15K for a meal with 21 people but I'm sure people will pay for it.

hey, I'm 35 and I still got TMNT and other figurines/toys *nerdmode*
I keep my nerdgasm, you keep your polka dots ;)
I see your 35 and raise you a 41 and have a lego millenium Falcon/ AT-AT/Shield Hellicarrier :p (and a very understanding DW )
I'll see your 35 and 41 and raise you a 47. I binge watched this whole set this week. (My Christmas present from my ex.) :D

That's cool, so many fun places that close...! :)
A little different here, but, still so many fun destinations within the state, so it's cool! :)
The closest border to us is Louisiana, about a 5-hour drive east. El Paso to the west, on the other hand, is about 8.5 hrs. away by car. :cyclops: ;)
As I posted before, Dallas about 4 hrs.
Port Aransas, our favorite Texas coastal destination, is about 4-5 hours away, depending on which route we decide to take, and how long the wait for the vehicle ferry is on the one route.
And, Houston is about 3, but, San Antonio (my hometown) is only about 1.5 hrs. down the road, with Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and SeaWorld San Antonio.
Also, New Braunfels (Schlitterbahn) is only about 1 hr. away.
New York City appears to be about a 26+ hour drive from here. I think we'll fly for that one. ;) :)

ETA:
I have never been to an opera either, but, I have been to a ballet.
The Nutcracker has been running for 54 years here locally during the holiday season...! :)
I 'm not a ballet fan but I saw the Nutcracker when I was 6 and was enchanted with it. That's when I started my nutcracker collection.

I might have about 500 or so.

I love the Nutcracker too, and I have a nutcracker collection as well. I thought mine was big at 48 nutcrackers! But 500, WOW! Do you leave them up all year or just bring them out at Christmas?

Funny what a few years will do to someone's memories. Modern History is a fascinating thing to look at, all that has happened in our relatively short lifespan.

My DD recollection of 9/11, (the day of) is something very wrong had happened but nothing in her life came into play really. My DS on the other hand had a classroom English teacher meltdown and totally loose it with her classroom when they learned of the towers in her classroom from her. She informed the classroom and proceed to frantically tell the students we were at war now and that every male in the classroom would soon be drafted into the military. She totally freaked a classroom of students out and escalated everyone's anxieties. Normally I would have had her head on a platter for such a lack of decorum and professionalism however 9/11 brought us immediately in our school district bigger concerns overall. I just hope she remembers her meltdown always. My DS remembers his teacher more clearly than all the events that came down that day, get that since he was being drafted. o_O

I was just a baby for The Missile and the Kennedy's. Nam I wore a POW bracelet, my thought of a POW was like being in jail on Gunsmoke. :confused: I remember Nam ending without a great sense of what the heck it was as nobody would talk about it and everyone just knew it wasn't to be spoken of. I was just into school with MLK and I've shared the story before about never being so scared being in Perry GA when his murder was announced. Rocks being thrown at our car by mobs of people in the streets. I have very vivid memories of that day. I believe the very first time being that petrified, driving while white in that area, that day/weeks was pure terror to my family. That vacation in Florida we didn't venture out of the compound much and if we did it was during daylight and in areas my Dad knew well as safe. Driving back to Illinois he was cautious not to get lost and carefully plan our route home and where we overnighted.

Me now I am concerned, very different from my MLK experience though more like that sick feeling in the pit of your tummy like the day of 9/11 being tucked away in the Midwest which was bad but not nearly what others experienced in NY, Pentagon or Pennsylvania.

It's strange what people remember about the big historical events. Yesterday was the anniversary of the Challenger explosion. I remember watching that on tv and I remember watching the explosions, seeing my teacher go over to the tv turning it off and telling us it was time for recess. It was nowhere near the time for recess so my friends and I (4th graders at the time) knew something had gone wrong and I remember sitting on a snowbank with my friends talking about. By the time we all came in from recess our teacher had figured out what to tell us, and after that point I don't remember anything else about that day.

On 9/11 I had a classroom full of kids and I remember telling them about it and we watched a little of it on a VHS tape a parent brought in as our school didn't have cable at the time. Our school board approved getting cable at the the next school board meeting after the event. But it didn't hit me what happened until I went to the gym after work and people were walking around the gym in a daze and some were just sitting at a machine staring at the tv. That's the funny thing about history, there are certain facts that are true about an event and then everyone has their own memories about it too.

Hello again everybody, as I'm currently typing this I'm currently back in the hospital (A different Hospital this time) this time it might have to do with me passing out three times this morning. So far I like this hospital a lot more than the previous one from last March. I will give you more updated about this later today. I will be at the hospital for a few days but I'm more braver this time.

Seeing my dh doesn't want to go back to WDW but does want to go back to UNI maybe I should price out a trip to California
You would love California. Your boys would love Carsland, the Indiana Jones ride...Space Mountain currently has an awesome Star Wars overlay, plus they have a ton of dark rides out there, like Monster's Inc, Pinnochio, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Rodger Rabbit...tons to do. If I can take a vacation this summer, I'm actually thinking maybe going on the DL trip with my parents and then just a long weekend in WDW...long enough to swim in Stormalong Bay, see the new AK stuff, and hop on TofT. Then I would go back to WDW with them in the winter.

The setup of DL is more like Uni, from what I understand. The parks are less than a football field away from one another, and DTD is right there next to the parks. There's plenty of good neighbor hotels that are super close. As in, walk across the street and you're there. There's also more rides in each park than the WDW parks.

Uni out there, from what I understand, isn't as good as Orlando, but it's an actual working studio, which is neat, and they still have Harry Potter World there. You could probably make a day out of it. There's also other parks out there, too, plus beaches.
