The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

My kids loved that class also. I think they still do it at Art of Animation Resort. Disney has on youtube videos on drawing characters. It is set up like the drawing class they had.

We stayed at AoA in July of '12 when I was a Disney Store CM (60% CM resort discount ), and when we checked in they told us there was a drawing contest you could enter. It was just a kinda' quick thing you did right after checkin in the lobby. I declined at first thinkin' it was just for the kiddos, but, was assured it was OK for adults, too. I drew Goofy's face (I was really good at drawing Mickey and Goofy faces for guests when I was a Disney Store CM).
When we came back to the resort after Park time all day, I wasn't even thinkin' about it, but, DWifey decided to check and mine won first place...
I got to pick a pin from the trading board in the gift shop the next morning, but, refrained from any more of it for the rest of the week.

Eeekk! That's scary. Glad the rotation broke up. I know we have a few members here on Chit Chat who live in states that get tornado warnings, at certain times of the year. But, I didn't think that Texas was one of them.

From what I understand Texas is part of tornado alley

We most likely won't here from her until she's home because she has trouble getting service stateside I hope her trip isn't too stressful

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

Sympathy like

Opening Night! So Excited

I may not be the biggest baseball fan but I'm excited it does bring SPRING But not always, opening day for the Newark Bears brought cold rain

 

[Figgy1]

Yum! (well not the brussel sprouts) But that steak and mashed potatoes!

YEA! We can split the plate, I'll take the brussel sprouts

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...!

It was a miracle not everybody at my school was many pounds overweight because we had 2 pizzerias by mine(one for scicilan and one for napolitano), a sub shop,a Baskin Robins, a diner and a candy shop all within a 5 minute walk

I think the only movie with Sean Penn in it that I've ever seen all the way through was Fast times at Ridgemont High...!!!

View attachment 197736

he has had plenty of good movies. last one I watched him in was SHOOTER.

 

[Figgy1]

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?

Pipe no, veiwmaster(still have one), antenna yes, drive in I know one that's still open about an hour away, I know how to work that cash register and James got jacks at a yard sale

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?

I actually had this issue on some of my molars.. I had 2 sets removed in the same places. (so technically I'm on my third teeth. The first set was removed at my 14th and the next ones when I was around 21..) :|

Ruth's

sigh, I really miss a decent steak.
They arent very good here (unless you want to pay a fortune). I think our local Outback is one of the very few that makes.. sorta decent cuts with no killing your wallet.

 

[Cesar R M]

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...!

eeeh, some areas did, others remained.. theres around 41C in Merida right now, going to get way hotter soon.
The average there is 40C.

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

You're going to sweat A LOT.. but its a very pretty city (my mother says) a lot of culture.

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

Some younger folks are using them as well now--with a number of people choosing over-the-air signals (instead of getting cable or satellite, at least for their local programming). They're making some decent indoor antennas as well now for those purposes; but I read that in some cases (depending upon where you live), a rooftop antenna may be an even better choice.

I have an indoor antenna for our local stations, and it works well. Again, it depends upon where you live in relation to the over-the-air signals. We bought the antenna as a backup, for when a bad storm goes through and interferes/knocks out the satellite. With over-the-air, which is also free, we can at least get our local stations, despite the weather. Also, the over-the-air signals are in HD.

I liked Sean Penn in The Interpreter (with Nicole Kidman). Loved that movie.
