Wasn't the Iphone 7 plus 1,000 USD?

I think under but I'm not sure. Not many are purchased rack rate. It is like paying sticker price for a new car, doesn't happen often.

My only gripe is that the newest ponchos are crap quality wise. They rip apart so easily.
There was a huge difference in my fist trip vs the last trip ponchos (2013 vs 2016).
You could rehuse the 2013 versions a few times.. 2016 feels disposable single use only.

Yeah. I can fault Disney for a lot. Poncho's change in quality has a lot to do with the need to move away from Latex to Silicone type material. With Latex allergies being deadly everyone from fire departments, pools, schools and hospitals have moved away from the more durable Latex, it is just that deadly to some.

Predicted high of 77 tomorrow, and 81 on Saturday.

@figmentfan423 how much snow did you end up getting? Hopefully your boys can go to school tomorrow, so you can have a breather before the weekend.

About a foot and we have a 2 hour delay. They'll be out the door just in time for me to have to run some errands

 

[Figgy1]

It is one of my favorites! Disney at her best, my first 'family' Disney vacation with my kid and my kids first encounter with the paramedics being called for him. Who could ask for more?

Here, I'll post it for you again.

Why couldn't they just stay that age. Sigh

 

[Figgy1]

Well that is curious! Is that their way of staying home.

Some how the phone message was mixed up. The email got it right and he got to stay home

 

[Figgy1]

Oh my. Wish we would have thought of that back on our June of '13 trip. FIL passed well over a decade ago, but, MIL was with us on that trip and still receives full military benefits, but, has only been the one time, so knows nothing of SOG.
She wants to go back in the next couple of years, so thanks for the info...!!!

You're welcome.You can go to the SOG web page for all the papers and info you'll need.

Good morning, it's in the teens, I'm just about out of food, school's delayed, I have a ton of errands to run. Tonight's dinner fried groundhog and waffles(I have some waffles hidden in my freezer)

He was adorable!!

At least you're happy about it. Seem to be a party of One.

As Curley in the Three Stooges used to say, "Hey, I resemble that comment!" I saw on the news, a man interviewed during the snowstorm yesterday, and he said that he liked the snow. So, before you rush to judgement, there's proof that there's at least 2 people in my state that love the snow!

 

[MinnieM123]

Hahaaa...!
With the pic on my small phone screen I didn't even notice the 2 little guys down in front from MST3000, 'til I saw the pic on my desktop at the office...!
I did remember Tom Servo, but not the other robots name...
I'm actually kinda' surprised I got that close...!

The "bots" !! Miss all of them, not to mention the classy movies they critiqued!

"Keep shoveling, keep shoveling, keep shoveling...! "

Ha! Even though that's a stock shot of someone else, I could relate to it--a smile on her face when shoveling snow! Bliss!!

We ended up with a foot of snow where I live (it varied from 8-18 across the state).

And, the city of Boston had 800 plows out yesterday. It was hard for them to keep up with anything in the blizzard; because for a few hours here and there throughout the day, snow was coming down at the rate of 2-3 inches an hour! (The colder temperatures were keeping it the lighter, fluffier snow, and the wind was creating some deep drifts in areas.)

And, aside of the public works guys out there in full, all the private contractors (any guy with a shovel on the front of his pickup) were pulling in the big bucks yesterday, too. (For example, depending upon the size of a driveway to plow, they're getting anywhere from $35 to $100. So you can imagine what they get for parking lots, etc., although most businesses have contracts for the season which lower the price--but still, they're paying a lot of money.)

Any Dunkin Donuts shop I passed by had multiple plows "live" parked there, with the guys running in for more coffee to chug down, during the snow marathon yesterday!

Thats me and my family after finishing the meal and the cake XD

So it was good!

Cesar, was yesterday your birthday? I'm confused, because you mentioned you had quite a few family members with birthdays this month--and I hope I didn't miss yours. Somehow, I thought you were having cake for another family member's birthday.

If it was your birthday, I'd like to extend a happy belated birthday to you, and you can feel free to celebrate with me today on my birthday. I'm happy to share with you!

By the way, I'm taking today off from work, although getting older, I'm not sure what there is to celebrate?

Happy birthday and did you like the snow I sent you

 

[Figgy1]

My dh was supposed to have a 4 day weekend. Was being the operative word. Between the snow and another change to his screwy schedule he's only getting Sunday off. He cancelled his vacation day for Monday before we thought we were going to get any snow In other news the main roads here are meh but passable, back roads are not good at all and some in other towns flat out stink. I'm putting my errands off until sometime tomorrow when it's safe. Mount Laundry here I come

 

[MinnieM123]

Happy birthday and did you like the snow I sent you

Thank you, and yes, you nailed it!!! It was a perfect birthday gift!

Right now I'm trying to truck up to you what I got but the roads are not good

It's cold enough out there now, that it will keep. Just send the trucks tomorrow. Thank you.

P.S.: The roads were so bad yesterday, that in a rare move (in my recollection anyway) UPS, Fedex and mail trucks were ordered off the roads by midday.
