These were pretty common in Volkswagen cars. I guess everyone prefers long single automatic windows now.

Are you certain about that? I'm thinking that people have no choice anymore--the car manufacturers don't seem to be making them anymore.

If I don't see snow until next Christmas I'm good.

Next Christmas? Nope for me make it January if at all.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Because it's sleeting, tonight's dinner, tomato soup with baked garlic bread cheese sandwiches. (Yes, I had two sandwiches. Soooo good!)

Mmmmmm. I would love some of that now!

 

[MinnieM123]

Snow here is not at all usual in April!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So enjoy the phenomenon of this spring!

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Just heard about Don Rickles. We will miss you, Mr. Potatohead.

Oh gosh. I totally forgot he was Mr. Potato Head.

I'm sure you know by now we're all trying to get her some serious help! I can't believe the hospital she works at hasn't stepped in yet

The hospital is probably filled with snow-loving employees, just like @MinnieM123...

 

[donaldtoo]

Oh gosh. I totally forgot he was Mr. Potato Head.

Yea, I heard about his passing on the radio on my commute home. Sad, but, he seems to have had a decent 90 years.
Most of the routines he did on network TV back in the day...there is no way they'd be aired today.

I so want this chair, but the price is INSANE!

Nice!
But, oh my, that price is indeed a bit up there.
Throw in tax and handling...

I know. That is the cost of our room at The Cabins in May! Of course the trip is 8 days and a piece of furniture would last as long as however long it would take for kids and pets to ruin it. That just means I would never get it until I have no kids or pets in the home which will be forever. I can at least imagine having it.

You mean they don't make a plastic cover for it that Disney can upcharge you for...?!

I remember most of those. The library cards were a fun part of my first job in the library.Making sure they were pulled before the book went back on the shelf.

About that slide, it still exists in the UP. It always bothers me a bit. It is at Black River Harbor, right by a suspended bridge that leads to Lake Superior's shore.
Here is the bridge

And, not it exactly, but here is what the slide at the little playground looks like

Back in the day when my pop worked for IBM in No Cal, they had a playground on site that had what we thought was the coolest slide ever, at the time, and it looked exactly like this one...rocket slide+..!!!!!

Thanks! I am doing much better. The Singular, Zyrtec, and daily inhaler seem to have taken control of my allergy/asthma issue. Breathing and feeling better than I have in a year!

Sorry, still sooo far behind, but, that's awesome news! Glad to hear you're feeling so much better...!

 

[Cesar R M]

So did you learn your lesson about going to WDW that time of year?

Yes, but like I said before.. That trip was not for me lol XD

 

[Cesar R M]

Are you certain about that? I'm thinking that people have no choice anymore--the car manufacturers don't seem to be making them anymore.

I honestly believe they were a security issue. They could be pried open and then the doors opened. And could not be secure with electronics.
Thats what I think, not a fact.

 

[donaldtoo]

Yuck and just yuck!! Hopefully, it will get warm up there soon. I am hoping we have seen the last of winter down here. We hit 80 yesterday and already at 70 with rain.

It was only 77 here today.
Up to 82 tomorrow, 85 on Saturday, 86 on Sunday, only to have a cold front take us back down to a high of only 81 on Monday...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Work

That can be kinda' like a cage, sometimes.

See Ferret cage

Good day to everyone. We had a very nice spring break with the boy's. We did things around here, and it was fun.. Now for the bad news...I'm full of it this year, aren't I? Over the week-end my sister called and my brother-in-law, was trimming a tree...he fell off the ladder and broke 6 vertebrae in his back. He is going to be laid up for three month's. Time for a trip with my sister and brother-in-law. If he is well enough, we are going on the Oasis to Puerto Rico this time. It's a new place for us. We are excited to be back on the boat, again. I hope everyone is doing really well, I'm plodding along...helping the daughter get her house on the market. It's nice today....60 with sun, tomorrow...rain and snow. Typical, typical. I just got back from the grocery, and it's time to fix lunch. Talk with you all later....and trying to do some ketchup!

Sympathy like for all the bad stuff, Bets, but, a wooooohooooo like for the cruise...!!!!!

Did you say wine?

Included with Hoop meal - Coca Cola, Diet Coke, Root Beer, Sprite, Orange, Pink Lemonade, Iced Tea, Light Pomegranate Lemonade, Apple Juice, Milk, Chocolate Milk, Hot Tea, Coffee, Draft Bud Light, Draft Yuengling, Chardonnay, Rose, Sangria, and Merlot

A lot of staccato chords, basically.

Blah. Brings back some horrid memories of my first piano teacher. Ever take lessons from someone that isn't qualified to teach? I was still real young, super great reflexes and this old lady is trying to teach the art of getting your freak'n hands off the keys quickly and she couldn't. Made me cringe.

She was real great at rules of sit up straight, proper hand placement blah blah blah, basically great at nagging.

Yup. I love Dumbo and have ever since I was very little. Waiting was not my thing.

I really love Dumbo as a Plush and a Character but really dislike the movie. There are some Disney Classics that have made for some great attractions at the park but in film not so much. I find Bambi to be another annoying one.

Groundhog

Sorry, couldn't resist...

 

[donaldtoo]

Yes, with the tiny marshmallows!

Mmmmmmmm...!!!



And, maybe a little rum...
