Today we got the kid a haircut. It's her second one, but it went much better than her first one a year ago. She's told the hairdresser she needed Rapunzel hair to match her dress so she braided it and put sparkles in it. The rest of the day was spent convincing people it wasn't her birthday and this was just her everyday attire

Have I told you she's too cute

Oh he will be so thrilled! He likes walking but hates walking in the boot, it is so uneven and makes his knee hurt. I told him to wear shoes to even it out and yet he still doesn't.

Men Sympathy like for both of you. xoxo

I remember years ago when I Had earned some money crocheting. I opened up a checking account at the bank in my name and I would want to cash a check at the grocery store. They would want ID. Silly me. I didn't have a State ID or a credit card, so I was denied. First I got the ID, and then I applied for a credit card in my name. Yes, I had to put all of my husband's info on the application, because I have not worked outside the home my entire married life. Marshall Field's in Chicago gave me my first credit card, and Discover gave me my first bank credit card. All these many years later, I now have my own cards, and my own credit score, which is sometimes better than my husband's. I pay off my cards each month, and don't carry balance. We even put our new car in my name last year. Makes me feel good. Sure it's all money that my husband earns, but we both manage separate checking accounts. I manage my cards, and he manages his. Technically the checking accounts are joint for security purposes, but i don't touch his, and he doesn't touch mine. Most all of the house expenses come from my accounts, and my husband pays a very small share of things from him. It's a system that evolved over these many years and it works pretty well.

He is going to be happy to go back to school Tuesday.

He's always happy to go to school. He sits next to his bff on the bus

I was watching by peeking over my laptop and disappointed in the Saints comeback. I was hopeful that something exciting might happen in the end but it is the Vikings and they have a history of choking so it was amazing to watch those last ten seconds. And your husband should know to listen to you...women are always correct!



I have heard the story about drinking from skulls before and that being the origin of the Skol chant. It doesn't sound too great to me, but I guess it might have appealed to my heathen forebearers.



I always took it as a cheers type of shout for joy too.

I feel it is only fair to say that I've found an expert who says that what I reported to you last night is just a myth.
I'll present two videos. The first one is a news reporter interviewing the expert.
The second video is a man who presents the "myth" as if it is historical fact. My post last night was based on an online article. I did not see either of these videos until today.

Thank you, I am not familiar with American sport teams so I couldn't place it. I hope your team does well in their game.

They lost. If someone had told me our quarterback threw five touchdowns and still would lose the game I would have said they were crazy, but it happened. On to next season.

It wasn't until the mid 1970s when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act became law that women were allowed to be 'considered' for a credit card in their name. The Doc that brought me into the world and was my Doc for 20+ years could not have a credit card in her name prior. Even when the Act passed so many woman were denied. I remember when my Mom got her first Credit Card in her own name I was in Junior High. So your post doesn't really surprise me at all unfortunately.

I was surprised when I applied for my mortgage and it did feel unfair unfortunately there was nothing I could do about it as I wanted the mortgage. As for women and credit cards etc. things are slowly changing but we are still far away from equality for all. I am well aware that as an educated white woman I have it much easier than many others and I can only imagine the struggles others go through.

Wow! You catch on very quickly.

Yup.

Sorry your team lost, on the positive side I Baby Groot.

That moment when you psych yourself up for a dental appointment and then the dentist is sick ...

That's awful!

I'm glad you found a system that works well for you.

I like that explanation better than the skull bowls. Blech.

We're finally taking down the Christmas tree today. It's going a lot faster since we didn't put that pink pearl garland on this year. (That was donated to the school.)

Ugh. Don’t get me started. Dh was so angry. He has no hatred for the Jaguars, but has been a Steeler fan for life. He kept yelling when the Jags kept succeeding on third downs. His biggest worry is the Jaguars wouldn’t be able to beat the Patriots. He hates the Patriots. He thought only the Steeler’s had a chance to beat them. So he is more upset about the loss than normal because he thinks the Patriots will win another Super Bowl now.

I was cheering against her team.

It's obligatory as a Ravens fan.

Not that I have much room to talk as my team didn't even make the playoffs...

I've adjusted to the FP+ and the ADRs but I liked it how it was originally before all that. When the day of you could make an ADR for what you were in the mood for. If the kid was tired and we planned in our minds to do a sit down dinner we'd do it another night instead of booking an ADR that day. If it was just hot out I wouldn't book LeCellier but go for fish at Coral. Stuff like that. I didn't have to cancel at least 24 hours in advance cause they could only be booked hours in advance. Now I go to some of our ADR and I can wait a very long time to be seated at some restaurants and with good planning for FP+ scrambling to either eat quickly or loose a FP+ I just don't believe Disney does a very good job at keeping to ADR times. We had long waits at BoG, PrimeTime, SciFi and the worst was Garden Grill over an hour. We've had that with FP+ too on some attractions like Test Track, Dwarf and Space Mountain along with Flight of Passage. Some of these attractions are anything but FAST though in fairness a few do it well. Even when the lines were long before any type of FP the lines just continued to move.

I will agree Disney does not do well in keeping ADR times....I don't understand the point. If you are going to allow reservations, you've got to be on time. Otherwise there's no reason to have ADRs at all.

I'm hoping the Jags play the Vikings now and the Vikings win it all.
