Hahaaa...!!!
I've called it Whole Paycheck for years, too...!!!!!
Whole Foods Market started as one store here in Austin in '80 on Lamar Blvd. (just down the street from where their headquarters is now) right next to downtown. We've probably shopped at a Whole Paycheck only half a dozen times over the years.
I hear John Mackey will remain the CEO.
And, I heard the sale price to Amazon was something like $13.7 BILLION...!!!!

I have found the one over by UNI to be quite useful.

Thanks. I miss Walt still so much but now I'm past that mourning time and am able to look back at The Adventures of Walt. As you read throughout the years Walt had a personality like no other and lots and lots of good stories of his antics. Still I think @MinnieM123 Jack's Adventures in Life surpasses Walt's antics.

Nah, Jack didn't surpass Walt at all. Each dog has it's own personality. Walt was a classic. As for Jack--

Remember, years ago we got him on "sale" at the dog adoption place. Yup, he was the "featured dog of the day" which sounds a lot like where I work. (HR will post on their web site, a "job of the day" to give it more prominence. But, those of us on the "inside" know that the job of the day includes all the ones that they can't fill, because no one wants those jobs!)

Jack is special needs, twisted, and dysfunctional on all levels--that's why he fits in so well with us!

Yep, yet another move (if true) I do not comprehend.
Look at EPCOT Center when it opened, and look at Epcot now...

Like I've said before adding to an IP as an addition is one thing, ie Rattatouille ride in addition to what's already there or what they've done with the Seas would/has been a good idea. Frostrom, although I love the ride is in the wrong place and don't get me started on imagination! Figment is timeless!!!

So they pretty much want to generalize their services like they were all DVC, and just charge "on demand" cleaning?
Shouldnt that means these buildings will stop being called "hotels" ?

I love this post--spot on, Cesar.

Did you remember to get extra burgers for him for the 4th?

Can't claim credit . @MouseDreaming posted it earlier in the thread and i just stole it .

Bet you'd like it fried in bacon

No, nothing can mask the flavor of okra.

No burgers for him, me or hubby unless we can get to a grocery store! No car repaired yet, no store. We're all just going to starve this weekend.

Might have to order groceries online for delivery. We have many stores around that offer this service.

Sympathy like. Does the shop have any idea of when you'll get it back

Of course you did! Fits right in with the "Pirates" theme!

They finally got around to diagnosing and ordering a part yesterday (after hubs called a few times raising a fit with them). Part comes in on Wednesday after the holiday.

Hugs, do you have a grocery store within biking distance?

They're all a distance. The issue would be getting all that stuff back on a bike--not going to happen. I'd rather just take a cab at that point. We took cabs last night when we went out to dinner.

Jack's smart just hook a wagon to him and give him the list and money. I'm sure he wouldn't eat any of it on the way home

Most of us didn't start out the fans we are today of WDW. Me and subsequently it was a birth right. My Mom took me to Disneyland frequently starting when I was an infant until WDW Magic Kingdom opened. I brought my DS at 14 months and my DD my second child at 2 months for their first trips. Both of my kids breathe Disney. It is kinda addictive for many.

I'm hoping we find at least a little bit of the love there because I do plan to take my daughter back at least two more times while she's growing up!

Our trips with young children was very very different that our trips as they aged up or trips as young adults. You are wise to recognize that. We changed plans depending on their moods, sleepiness or what they seemed to love. Our trips became about them and us as a family unit. We rarely if at all did baby swap. We went for 2 weeks and just enjoyed the family time in a place we loved, staying on the inside to escape the reality of life. It worked for us way back when with little ones. Now we tour differently. We all get sleepy.

I love this. I've learned a lot of park strategy from trip reports with young children included. This board had been very helpful!

 

[DryerLintFan]

Yeah, that sounds right. I don't remember what they called it in Dutch. He was in the shower, she heard a kind of scream, he called for her, and by the time she got to him he was already gone. Very scary stuff.

@donaldtoo my grandfather died from this. They said the walls of his heart were so thin they were trying to sew the holes back together and they just kept making bigger holes. I was eight at the time and they told us he died of a broken heart.

Candids are the best!! The best photos I've ever taken of the kids were candids. And trying to get the perfect posed picture is murder!View attachment 212934View attachment 212935View attachment 212937 View attachment 212939View attachment 212940

So cute!!

Candids really are the best. Toddlers always find a way to bring it the toddler life in any professional photo shoot

It took me eight months to nail down a time my husband was available far enough in advance and so was my favorite photographer. The day before the shoot my daughter fell and skinned her nose AND I wanted her to bring a stuffed animal that get great grandmother had given her at Christmas, but instead she brought the ugliest creepiest dog stuffie she grabbed at a gas station the week before on our way to the in-laws. But that's life with a toddler. Completely loveable chaos.

You can always do Pizza Hut 3 times a day.
