The only roller coaster I can ever remember having gotten even remotely close to motion sickness on is Poltergeist at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.
I just call it "Spaghetti"...!!!

You are being flipped, flopped, turned and twisted all along the entire ride. The part that gets me is the the sharp turn into a double corkscrew right at the very end just before the coaster is braked. Has never left me more than a bit dizzy for more than about 30 seconds, so the ride is sooo beyond worth it...!!!!!

OH UGH!! BTMRR gave me motion sickness on our honeymoon. I think this one might kill me!! Good thing I have no plans to go to Texas, or 6 flags anywhere for that matter.

People actually stay in values

Values are all we do. With the amount of time in a room for us it's best. Pop is our home resort.

We cramp ourselves into a cabin (the of us) because we are never in the room that much anyway. I would rather save the bucks but take advantage of the convenience of being a boat launch away from MK and CR to catch a monorail to EPCOT.

Amen. FW is on our bucket list. We've done everything there is to do there except actually stay there.

Awe good Mom. If you ever need Jello I'll send it to ya. Just PM me lady. Nobody should ever live without Jello.

DD wants jello jigglers for her non-party in a couple of weeks so it's a good thing we got a bunch of jello!! She does NOT want a party because she viewed her parties last year as a fiasco, but she DOES want to do something, so we are going to have a Netflix day with her 2 best friends from school and she will do something later with her other best friend who goes to a different school. She doesn't want to invite the 3rd friend to the "non-party" party because the girl has autism and ADHD and is pretty much responsible for DD not wanting a party this year. She kind of hijacked it last year...didn't listen to instructions, made a huge mess, and then asked all the girls who wanted to go outside...so all the girls went outside to play, leaving DD by herself inside doing the crafts she had been really looking forward to for months. She felt excluded from her own party. And knowing the girl can't sit still for 5 minutes, she decided that's not conducive a Netflix day. So we're having her 2 school friends and lots of junk food, including, but not limited to jello jigglers and popcorn.

I'm sorry. We keep getting the warnings but are spared the frost we shall see what the morning brings again. I have early spring flowers in and a few tomato plants that I keep covering with buckets at night. The flowers leaves have turned purple due to the cold but are still thriving despite.

Did you loose anything. Some of our farms have lost everything here 'cause the rain washed away the all the plowed seeds. Not a good start. Winter had nicer warmer weather than we are getting. Everything is still ponding, squishy, or downright muddy.
Oy. Though for about 30 minutes today the sun did come out. Still better than snow.

Eeek!! Do you have a lake again? The weather this Spring has just been crazy EVERYWHERE!!

All this Jello talk makes me kind of want some Jello.

But I don't think I have had Jello in about 5-6 years.

You are so deprived!!!!
DS doesn't like jello, or doesn't THINK he would like it...he won't even try it because it's fruit flavored. But DD LOVES jello. We especially love the black cherry.

I haven't jumped into Instagram yet, but I do use Twitter. To be honest, I've been cutting back on who I follow. The amount of garbage being thrown out there was just ridiculous and I finally decided I really don't need any more people telling me how I should think...

Why is it exploding at the moment? I only follow about 5 people, so I don't know what's going on.

Maybe you should put a big arrow pointing to it and a copy next to their plates. Or even on top of their food! Then they might see it.

They'd just eat the picture

Go to the front page of any American paper. Nuff said

I like mayo but even that is too much for me. I do like a little mustard on my French dip, it adds a little zing.

Ah, well I can't even stand the smell of mustard...it nauseates me. But I'd never heard of ANY condiments on a french dip.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

That looks so good. I need some chocolate cake today!

I'd take some chocolate cake too!

Nothing about what is going on is going to end happy. Sad times!

I looked it up, but the cabins are more expensive than the values...if I'm roughing it, it better not be more expensive than a regular hotel room!!

Yes, totally worried about our peach and apple trees. Our peach trees already had teensy fruit.

I hope they're ok. I love peaches and that's one of the things i like about driving home, stopping to get peaches for the ride home

I have a friend that has determined that it is neither spring nor winter, but, a new season has developed called "Sprinter".

Have you ever tried making your own. I can get mustard seeds from our local health food store so it's easy enough to do by me. There is a big difference between the cheap and the good stuff.

Do you live in an older building that was retrofitted with newer modern conveniences?

Well, our house is older I guess...1969? But it's a typical European row house. There was no laundry hookup when we moved in. Well...ok, there was a hookup for EITHER a dishwasher OR a washer in the kitchen, and there was a hookup for EITHER a washer OR a bathtub upstairs in the bathroom. Hubby does the dishes and wanted a dishwasher, and I thought it was unsanitary to do laundry in the kitchen, so the hookup there is for the dishwasher. BUT, I have to do the laundry and refuse to wash everything by hand, so I needed a hookup for a washer, but I can't live without a bathtub. Most Dutch houses do not have bathtubs. So, we took a large closet upstairs that sits over the kitchen, we drilled a hole through the ceiling/floor and ran a pipe down to the kitchen to create a hookup upstairs for the laundry so we can have a dishwasher, laundry, AND a bathtub.

As long as we don't get swinter. Check out Phineas and Ferb

Oh right.....that was even on OUR news this morning. Should have known it would explode twitter.

My brother reminded me while I was "back home" that Mother Nature in Wyoming is Bipolar.

I can't stand the smell of any of it. And honestly, I'm not fussed...I've never liked condiments. I was that weird kid who DIDN'T eat ketchup on fries or burgers, so I am used to eating things plain. It really doesn't bother me. I'd rather live without it.
