Windows 10 usually warns you when there is a big update that requires reboot.
normally it doesn't bother anyone.

Thank you. Any warning I get about windows seems to make me twitch.

Thank you. Any warning I get about windows seems to make me twitch.

You could always configure Windows to install the updates automatically on reboot and shutdown I think.
Havent waded into that section in a few.

*edit*
Enter your WINDOWS menu (windows key)
write "update". The top option should be " CHECK UPDATES" in the SYSTEM SECTIONS (small letters below check updates)
Check the areas of "CHANGE ACTIVE HOURS" and "RESTART OPTIONS"

Illuminations is my favorite. I will be sad when that changes.

I could never really choose between Wishes and Illuminations as to which one was my favorite show. Both so different, yet both so musically and artistically well done...!!!

Okay, taking a cue from @MOXOMUMD - here are some shots of Union Square in NYC tonight, at twilight. Not as good as
MOXOMUMD's pics, but then again, whose are?

Because I know you are all counting the days to the Tony Awards here is the opening number from COME FROM AWAY, nominated for 7 Tonys, including Best Musical.

 

[BuddyThomas]

And here is COME FROM AWAY's direct competition - DEAR EVAN HANSEN. I feel like I posted this one before, but it's a good comparison to the above COME FROM AWAY number. My money is on HANSEN, but we'll see.

Dibs on the one in the lower left.

I had my eye on that one too, but, you beat me to it by about 2 weeks...!!!

 

[Gabe1]

Yes, it was. I remember it. I didn't eat it then and I wouldn't eat it now. I don't mind jello molds it is just that the combination of jello and veggies doesn't have a high appeal rating for me. Some fruit is OK, like Mandarin Oranges in Orange Jello I can tolerate, but, anything else.... pass!

I'm with you. I'd rather not have any chunks in my Jello, fruit or worse Veggies.
Now additives I like some of them mixed in, ice cream, sherbet or cool whip Jello Molds have been pretty yummy.

My MIL made this icky Jello served almost like a cookie bar. My 2 BILs and their families adore it, we anyhow can't even begin to swallow it, it is a strange texture thing happening and normally I love the mix of savory and sweet.
Its pretzels crushed for the crust, cream cheese mixed with coolwhip and sugar, jello with strawberries on top.

You can never go to Disney too much. Dr's orders!

 

[donaldtoo]

See y'alllllllllll...!!!!!

They haven't said. Perhaps they are keeping the cause to themselves.

Well perhaps. Or....

I would be glad to share. 95 with high humidity, it's like swimming through air!

I had an issue one day back in September. It was the 2nd day of F&W hot, humid full sun. You'd go outside and my lungs just seemed to reject the humidity, so not conditioned to the humidity and over the 90+ degrees. We were in line to go up to the Chase Lounge, (I still shake my head at queuing up to go into a lounge of a bank of mine that use to have sufficient space for guests but a different rant) and I had to leave my family. It was about noon sun overhead, humid and feeling badly in an area not unlike most of the world showcase, no shade, (trees cut down, another rant yet again) and I knew I needed to bail or else...I left the family and went to the American Pavilion and listened to the Choir singers and saw the performance which I had seen the night before during the rain storm from h*ll (it was raining both inside space ship earth and the land attractions, we were getting wet another rant) but I needed to equalize my body temp. If nothing else over the years of touring Disney I've learned one thing, ya gotta listen to what your body is telling you.

So I feel for you woman. It isn't so much the heat it is the humidity that I wish my body conformed more to. Be well and have a margarita for me and possibly a Dad's Electric Lemonade from Prime Time or its Lounge (they do take outs)

 

[Gabe1]

More severe storms this afternoon. I think we will not get to see River's of Light, maybe next time.

Oh I hope you got to see Rivers!

 

[Gabe1]

I agree, ugly, beyond ugly! Disney is killing the golden goose. So many things gone, or replaced with poor imitations.

But today for the first time in a very very long long time I admired Iger and the kahunas he had. Kudos for an admiral day for Disney Leadership. Impressive.

A few pics from Hollywood and Mama Melrose.

I spy a margarita! Was it yours?

l want to be a squirrel, they are funny, and very clever begging for food.

For some reason I've befriend a few squirrel babies that are living next door. Mamma was not afraid of me but the 4 babies were. Now they just stop, look at me, pause and say Oh, it is only her and keep going about their business. Could be the pistachio nuts I've left the here and there. A baby needs to eat, right?

I spent a lot of time sitting in the coat rack, in the hallway. Not much fun. I did learn to keep my mouth shut, after the first painful year. Today, not so much....I still can't keep my chopper's closed.

Nor should you my dear. My Dad, also Catholic school raised spoke frequently about his time (lots of time) spent in the cloak room. So where did he send us...

 

[Gabe1]

A few morning picks on our way out to the Magic Kingdom.

I love water pic's. I love what Disney does imagineering wise with water illusions. Now I want them to step up their game with algae growth. It isn't rocket science.
