I can't like that. Unbelievable. She owes him a mega apology, and hasn't she even inquired about his leg?

Nope, neither of them. He posted a picture of him boot-free on Facebook and neither of them even gave it a like. They are on Facebook all the time too.

I've had some crazy commutes, but tonight's goes down in history.

R train in NYC - rush hour - packed like sardines in a can.

Halfway under the river between Manhattan and Queens, a sudden and deafening BOOM!!!!!!!! Sounded like a bomb went off.

Accompanied simultaneously with the black tunnel outside the train turning orange, as if with fire. And sparks flying everywhere (outside the train).

People screaming, gasping, generally having heart attacks, as the train screeches to a stop. Lights go off. Air conditioner goes off.

Silence.

Then, over the loudspeaker:
"Ummm, okay folks, obviously, something just happened. So we are going to have to ask for your patience while we try to figure this out. Train is in emergency mode, so unfortunately, the air has to remain off."

Everyone starts freaking the hell out.

Two women who were apparently on their way to the airport start asking everyone if they think they will get there on time.

One guy starts screaming that we derailed - gets in a fight with another guy who says if we derailed, we would be listing to one side.
Everyone in their winter jackets sweating their butts off.

10 minutes go by.

20 minutes go by.

Someone comments: "Ya know, if we're sitting here like this, all the trains behind us are all backed up." (What a genius.)

Someone else: "We might be on the news!"

30 minutes go by.

40 minutes go by.

Someone: "Look, they are outside, looking at the train."

Someone else: "I know we derailed!! They are gonna have to walk us outa here."

Airport ladies: "We're gonna miss our flight!"

45 minutes go by.

Light suddenly come on. Air conditioner comes on. Car full of sardines cheers. Train doesn't move.

50 minutes go by.

Train suddenly starts crawling forward at the speed of an elderly one legged dog.

Eventually, we arrive at Queens Plaza.

Insult to injury #1 - "This train is out of service. Everyone please leave the train immediately."
Thus, 15 gazillion commuters try to shove on to a just arriving E train across the platform. Three trains later, I am able get on, and the train I get on is apparently filled entirely with flu patients. Coughing, hacking, sneezing. I should be in a hospital bed by this weekend.

Insult to injury #2 - Something really wacky clearly happened in that tunnel and now I'll never know what. MTA only says it was a "mechanical issue".

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Now I want to know what happened!

OP moaned that with all the infrastructure (big words ) projects ongoing WDW looked like the I-4 .
People said "well it needs doing"
OP said well there is never anyone working and posted pictures.
Someone proposed that perhaps the workers were there overnight so as to ease disruption for guests.
OP said they would provide pics disproving that and everyone else was a child and wrong.
The Mom said no
I went to bed
Thread had gone poof when i woke up ...

Oh it got better. He posted the pics in spite of the Mom's warnings and tried to say he wasn't ignoring the mods. Then when @LAKid53 tagged the Mom, the OP told him he was "calling his mommy". I then told him he had violated the terms of use and asked if he was trying to get in trouble with the mods or if it was a special talent. He must have been sarcasm impaired because he thought I was on his side. Yeah, no. He continued to go off the rails. Wouldn't surprise me if he's banned now.

The thing was it wasn't even about construction in the parks. It was about roadwork. Like, dude, have you never seen roadwork before? Ridiculous rant.

I must set the record straight. I wasn't tagging Mom, just doing the countdown waiting for her to jump back in. My funky keyboard popped in the @...Or I just can't type. Probably a little of both.

What set me off at the end was when he kinda dissed Mom. She has a hard enough job keeping us reprobates in line. But she's fair and usually spot on. It could be a real blood bath on this board without her moderating influence and reminding us we are all adults....well, some of us are.

I started pricing out a trip to Fort Wilderness Campgrounds in September. I think buying this a-frame camper might actually make more frequent Disney trips an option. Of course, it would highly depend on the kid not getting sick a whole ton so I can make it to the end of the year with vacation days to spare for this

But five nights for only $380 (incl. tax) is not bad at all. roughly $400 in gas there and back, plus a campground to sleep in at the halfway point, plus park tickets.... the park tickets are really the expensive part.

Sounds like a great plan. Those thIngs look so cool.

Only if you want to.

Edit: My tablet's keyboard is possessed. I did not type better

I'm sitting here watching the movie Sam. I've forgotten what a great movie it is, Sean Penn's amazing performance, how cute a kid Dakota Fanning was and that it makes me

Hubs was cleared by the Dr. and walked out without the boot! He brought his right tennis shoe with him to the appointment. When the nurse saw him holding his shoe she teased him about being optimistic! He is walking gingerly because he is just a little scared still but I'm sure he will be normal, or at least walking normal by tomorrow.

After the appointment we went to a British pub to celebrate. He still wanted me to drive home because he hasn't driven since October 30th and the road were still fairly slushy with yesterday's snow. So we didn't celebrate with too many adult beverages! He does have a church meeting tonight and was pretty excited to drive himself there, just like a kid with a new driver's license.

That is fantastic news!! Hope he is completely back to normal now!!

@figmentfan423 , how are you feeling this morning? If you caught that cold that a number of us had, it may take a while to shake it off.

THNX for asking. Just tired. Cough and sneezing isn't too bad, then again I'm living on a honey, garlic, lemon combo and an herbal tea for colds that always seems to work for me. Dh had been on commercial stuff and was much worse when he had it

 

[Figgy1]

He might be less inclined to drive down there but he will probably still go. His sister that lives in Chicago said she would send his Christmas gift and hasn't nor has she responded to any texts from him even when it was regarding a question about her kids. Sad really that an adult would act that way, oh well.

I'm sorry they seem to be their usual selves. Christmas cruise sounds good
