I know! No matter what I was doing on any thread this big honk'n gap came up before the post would appear. I quit after that post. I also had issues with Ads popp'n weirdly and I have not had that issue that caused all sorts of problems for me over a year ago, I became a premium member to avoid all that. From what I am grasping????there was a some launch gone bad with a bug today with the ads. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better posing day.

I haven't had any problems with ads poppin'.
At least not on my phone. ;)
I haven't used the new-ish MacBook in a while.
DWifey uses it more than I do. I'm so used to using my phone now, I just mostly stick with it. :)

Oh my, a person who knows my hubby just sent him a message on Facebook. They are planning a trip to WDW this month in 20 days, with 3 kids. They have only booked a flight and an off property hotel, and didn't think they needed tickets until they got there.:jawdrop: She also said the were planning on 2 character meals but didn't have any reservations, because they could just do that when they get there. Lucky for her Tusker House and Garden grill still have openings for character meals. They didn't really know anything about fast pass either. :bored: I don't understand why people don't do a little research before going on expensive trips. My husband is giving this lady a nice little WDW education tonight. :)

I know it is my part, my civic duty, blah blah blah, boy disdain for jury duty I have. I do it but I certainly don't like it.

There was a time, a few years back, when it seemed like I was bein' called at least once a year. One time it was just over 6 months between calls when I got the next one. They're not supposed to call you again any sooner than 6 months from the previous call. I thought my previous call was only about 4-5 months previous, but, no...6 months and 2 weeks. :bored:
Fortunately, that was another one I got out of by simply raising my hand 'cause they had way more than enough people show up for that day's needs. :)

I've posted before about the one time I was chosen as a juror on a fluke.
It was interesting to see the process at work...once. :cyclops: ;)

I had lived in North Carolina exactly one month when I got my jury duty letter. As soon as I had a residence I apparently hit that eligibility list. I was called in for one day, interviewed for one trial, rejected, and sent home. That was it, only the one jury drawing. I guess that is the plus of living in a big city area with a large population. Back in Vermont you were called in for two weeks, whenever they had a jury pick necessary. Sometimes interviewed for a number of different trials. Some people managed to do three or more trials during their obligation time.

Good news, I will be able to return back home today. :) But I will have to be careful eating though. My doctor mentioned that my colitis is pretty severe. So they will be giving me some ambosile medicine that can make my stomach less swollen which explains why my appetite has been gone for two weeks.

So sorry about the colitis, but, so very happy you are feeling better, and got to come home today! :)
Take care...!

I wonder how many people had this issue before. aka not having the knowledge of what you need.
WDW requires extensive planning/kwnoedge to navitage/enjoy now.

They didnt have a travel advisor or travel agent?

Oh, I live in a plenty populated area, believe me.
Plus, for several years now, since our neighborhood was annexed by Austin, on a limited basis, we're now eligible to serve on a jury in 2 counties...:eek:...both the county we live in, and the county that most of Austin proper lies within. :bored:
So far, I've only been called once by the other county, and got out of it due to it having to do with a traffic citation, and because of the fact that a good friend of mine is a police officer, as well as one of DWifeys brothers...they didn't want me. :( ;)

Nope no travel agent or anything. Just thought it would be nice to go since they had never been since they knew about character breakfasts and some rides there must have been some knowledge from somewhere. She just thought she would message him for a few tips. Well she got her fair share of tips! I just find it strange that anyone would plan on any type of trip Disney or anywhere and do basically no research. To each their own I guess.

I've not yet had that pleasure. Hopefully I won't for a while yet. I think it would be interesting to be chosen for a jury, but I know that will never happen, being a lawyer's daughter.

They sat my sister on a jury a few months ago and the trial lasted several days so don't count on the being a lawyer's daughter. They had to continue court cases she had with her clients when she was chosen to sit on a jury. Blah!
