Ivory Tower Squabble EST 2011. WINDMILL SURVIVOR
So I sprained my ankle. And for those that have been on this thread for a long time, you know it's something I tend to do a lot, but this time it really was not my fault.
Earlier today, I was headed for the break room when I heard a crash and then a "Sh*t". I found my supervisor had fallen. As in completely, I found her on the ground. She had slipped. We checked the floor, but found nothing she would have slipped on, so she thought it was her shoe.
Then later, I went in the break room...and slipped. In the exact same spot where she had. Hours later. Except I didn't go completely down; I just managed to sprain my ankle. It swelled almost immediately; it was like watching a balloon inflate. I hobbled downstairs, reported that the break room floor needs cleaning, and then went and told my supervisor she wasn't crazy. Needless to say, she was not happy. We put a sign on the door warning the floor was slippery.
Then I told my coworker about it, and she said someone ELSE had nearly fallen in that break room earlier.
On to more pleasant things: I really enjoyed Beauty and the Beast. Can't decide what was my favorite moment. Musical number, definitely "Gaston". Moment: tie between Mrs. Potts getting very offended at being called Chip's grandmother, and then Cogsworth at the end...
When his wife comes up, and she was basically the village shrew, and she's all happy to see him, and he says: "Please turn back into a clock"
My criticism is still the same: they really needed to dub Emma Watson. Her voice, while very pretty, just didn't match the others. And Belle did too little singing for her part. In the stage musical, she sings two songs by herself. This one, it's one song, very briefly. If they had dubbed her, then the character could have done more singing. Other than that, she was fine as Belle.
But her singing was not as bad as Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia. That's quite possibly the worst offender of all time.
Oh Dear...has the ankle brace come out? Wonder what the heck was on the floor that wasn't being seen yet so slick.
I'm sorry. I haven't seen B&tB yet but at least I'm going into it knowing not to expect the world out of her singing performance.

Yea, the short version from me, IMHO, is that DVC fit a certain niche from first inception, and made sense for certain families with different Disney vacation styles and frequency, (and still does for many), but, in a more measured scale. But, at this point the overconstruction of these units/complexes (and forgive my insensitivity to all affected by this horrible disease), is just a friggin' cancer on the resort, at this point.
They are messing up sooo much of what really made WDW resorts so special with these blights on the resort landscapes and waterscapes...pull your heads outta' your wallets already, you jacka**es...!!!

The suburb I grew up in had both a Ben Franklin and a Woolworth. Ben lasted longer but both were gone while I was still in early elementary school. So I'd say since the late 60's early 70's-goners. Emerging was the huge drug stores and K-mart.

James is very upset about the drawing class going away I hope but do not expect it to come back
As was I. I can paint but I cannot draw. I love my drawings from class. Sure ya can tell what they are but you certainly need a lot of imagination. I did tend to laugh throughout the entire drawing process as I watch my own shortcomings come to life. So much fun.

Sympathy. We are in the mid 30's. I'll take that over 113. I don't have patience for my skin freezing but 113 would make me ill.

Yikes, not again! Your poor ankle!! (I'm thinking maybe you should always wear one of those removable ankle casts, just as a preventative measure.
) All kidding aside, I really hope this isn't a major sprain, and that your ankle will heal up well in a few days.P.S.: Somewhat related, I've slipped on floors before, and I believe that the (cheaper) soles of my shoes contributed to the accidents. I switched to wearing only rubber soles a few years ago, and I think it made a big difference.

Absolutely. Your phrase, "more measured scale" stood out to me. You're right--DVC works very well for some; but ever since WDW has gone hog wild converting so many existing rooms over to DVC, in some beautiful resorts (especially the carnage now over at WL), it's just a major turn-off to me--and to others, if you read other threads about this topic.

Do you remember colorforms?
or Snack Pack Pudding in a can, with a pull top??
Or a library card with a metal plate
Or gas charges when you could afford a vacation and the gas to get you there?
or that didn't come in a box?
I like all of those (except maybe for the Hi-C Cherry "flavored" drink.
Colorforms were the best activity and I loved those! When I was a little kid, I had an operation and was in the hospital for a few days. My parents brought me Colorforms to play with; and outside of "visiting hours" when they weren't there, I'd be entertained for hours--changing up the coats, hats, boots, etc. on the characters.
