Yes. Obviously it is an experience I have never forgotten. That must be close to a decade or more ago.

Yes, the animation studio at MGM/DHS officially closed on Jan. 12, '04.

She was born with four little teeth on top and four on bottom. Then those fell out. All her baby teeth grew in and she lost those like normal through the years and ones replaced them. Then when these extra teeth (set #4) started growing in (without the others falling out) the dentist said all the ones before were baby teeth. Really?

Well I have some kids with the opposite problem. Congenitally missing adult teeth. Orthodontist will be very busy.

So today was the day we could start booking onboard activities & shore excursions for our June Disney Cruise, and at about 6pm tonight I thought I'd go on and see what was available and got an early port arrival time. I wasn't planning on doing anything really. I ended up booking a massage for myself, a brunch at Palo, and there was one cabana left for our first stop at Castaway Cay (it's a double dip). So I snagged the private cabana, it is expensive so I don't know if we will keep it. But I knew for sure I wouldn't be able to book it later, I knew I could cancel it easily later though. I will be turning 40 during this cruise so it might be a nice birthday present to myself. Our second day at Castaway Cay is actually on my birthday so it would have been nicer on that day but it was all sold out on that day.

Sympathy like to that last part...?

Hubs watched his DVD of all the playoff and World Series games this weekend and is watching upstairs. I haven't heard any cursing so I assume he is happily watching.

It was all yummy and I love Brussel Sprouts-everyone is different but these were a little too al dente for my liking, needed a tad more cooking.

Who is old enough to remember

or
brown liquid glue?

or
color coordinated toilet paper?

or the box store of yesteryear?

Yep, remember it all. Pop still has the two keys for his '70 Chevy Camper Special pickup. The oval for the doors, the rectangular for the ignition.

And yet you can buy seeds that spawn only 4 leaf clovers. Me, I've spent a great deal of money to rid my lawn of clover. That stuff grows easier than dandelions here. Upside easier to kill off too.

That's no fun.
Yep, we have both down here, as well.

Speaking of Snow.. who the hell wanted summer levels of heat?
Mexico got like 5 successive alerts of dangerous temps in the past week. Yesterday was an alert for 45+C temps. (113F+)

Woof! Sympathy like.
We reached our record high of 112F twice. Once in '00, and again in '11.
Still behind, hope it's cooled down for y'all...!

I haven't been to a DQ since high school there was one within a block of it. I mostly hung at the diner around the corner

We have a DQ less than 5 mins. from our house.
The main hangout for us in HS was our local Mr. Gatti's pizza place...!

Do you remember playground equipment made of plumbing pipes?

or Viewmasters? I had one each of disc of Disneyland and Disney World

Or
houses that had antennas on their roofs?

Or going to a drive-in movie?

Or the true meaning of a cash register...before items were scanned by cashiers and actually rung-up?

Or remember playing Jacks before they were deemed a choking hazard?

 

[Gabe1]

Seriously...?!?!?!

Don't you sometimes wonder if 'someone' doesn't do stuff like this on purpose just to see if anyone notices? Cheap trills. Hard to believe all day long nobody picked the laptop up and put it back on the desk.

Yep! My mom and dad used their antenna until almost the year 2000.

Hubby has a golf ball collection and one time i turned them all around so the patterns weren't facing out anymore. It took him about two weeks to notice.

Just for giggles, ask a kid nowadays if you can borrow some mucilage. Guarantee he/she won't have a glue what that is!

FTFY

@StarWarsGirl . just wanted to mention that your word game, A Word With Friends, had 29,016 responses as of 5:35 AM this morning. It's my favorite game by the way.

Yep, still playin' along there, too...!!!

Looks like a QS restaurant @figmentfan423 might like. I might, family not so much. Hope it has diversity.

Oh, that is exactly what I was thinking. It's just sitting there perfectly on the floor like it was set there on purpose. Maybe a CM set it there to dust or something, but, you can pick up a laptop with one hand, dust, and put it back down. Maybe some sort of maintenance as well, and they just forgot. Who knows...
