Watching the coverage about the GOP train accident. That is crazy and could have been so much worse.

I saw this briefly on the news but my main page on my web browser that shows me the news didn't even have it as a top story. It sounds like it could have been a huge disaster. I'm glad it wasn't worse.

Cute! And so cool that they keep returning and she can feed them. Have you or she named them?

As a reminder the Puppy Bowl is on Feb. 4, at 3:00 PM (Eastern), in Animal Planet. I can't wait!!

Speaking of football related things (including puppies), I wanted to mention to @ajrwdwgirl that our local sports newscasters are all out in the Midwest this week. They've all been televising from the Mall of America.

I know you've been to that mall, and thought about you experiencing the largest mall in America. I could see behind some of the sportscasters that there are even rides (one kinda looked like flying swings from a distance). There were tons of people in the shopping mall, too. Man, that place looks HUGE!

Yes it is a huge Mall. All our "local" news is from Minneapolis/St. Paul and their broadcasters are at the Mall for some shows and also downtown for other broadcasts. It is nice to see it all on the news but I'm going to steer clear of all that hubbub for now.

In the center of the mall is a fairly large amusement park, there is also a large aquarium in the "basement" area, mini golf, glow in the dark mini- golf, there will soon be a luxury movie theater, TONS of restaurants, and lots of shops too. My niece will be coming to visit in a couple weeks so we will probably take her there again for the day because there is so much to do.

yikes, that def looks.. broken?

I'll find out for sure at my doc appointment tomorrow morning, but, yea, pretty sure it isn't supposed to look like that...!!!

The train incident probably was pretty tragic for the man that died and his family. But, hey as long as the useless congressmen are OK.

My new carry on just came.

So let's all guess SWG's favorite color...

If it actually did get broken, they may need to re-break it to have it heal in the proper position. Hope it is something simpler though.

 

[donaldtoo]

sympathy like. OUCH and GWS xoxo

Thanks, Figgy!

I know, but, I'm pretty sure they'll give me a local, and all I'll feel is some tuggin' and here some crackin'...!
I've watched while 2 of my fingers were stitched up before and had no issues...!

We won’t see our duck friends for at least a month or two.

Sympathy like.

But, we'll be ready and rarin' to gooooo...!!!!!!!

My first car was a hand-me-down Accord. I drove it until it got 120k miles. I loved it. It was super speedy. It didn't have many problems until it got over the 100k mark, as far as I remember.

You musta' had a lemon, 'cause Hondas are usually just gettin' good and broken in at around 120K...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Good luck!

Thanks!

 

[donaldtoo]

They look like they're staggering/falling over a bit . . . were they drinking?

 

[donaldtoo]

If these time sheets impact their pay you would think they would remember. Maybe if they didn't get paid because they forgot their time sheets maybe then they would start remembering.

Yea, that one just befuddles me....?!
I, and I alone, am responsible for my OWN darn time sheet.
At our firm we have a program called TraxTime. It is so simple to use. You log in and out of what projects you are working on, leave notes as to what phase, etc. for billing purposes, and etc.
every other Monday morning in our office meeting we are reminded to turn them in before lunch. I turn mine in before our Monday morning meeting and money magically appears in our bank account Thursday morning...!!!
It ain't Rocky science, "Yo!"...!!!!!

Love the last line of "rocky science!" We have a joke at school as one of teacher misused the phrase "it isn't rocket science" and said rocket surgery instead, so we now always use that. But now I have rocky science yo to add to my repertoire.

Donna's "pets" have returned
View attachment 260742

Awe! I'm so happy her pets came home again. We have had pet Robbin's that have came back for as far as I can remember. The last couple years I could really see the female aging. Sadly late last summer she pasted on...I was so sad when I found her. She had a proper laying to rest in my back garden. She was so interactive. I had so many plants and gardens that when I went to water she would come out of nowhere to play in the hose sprinkles. She played in Walter's kiddie pool and was in her glory during any given heat wave when I would turn the sprinklers on for the lawn, hopping around like a bunny. Will miss her. I so understand Donna's attachment.

I more lean to Disney is attempting to 'try' to reboot refurbishments and maintaining while remember major dangerous things over the last 5 years or the last decade as the monorail loosing parts that fell to the ground missing a guest by 10 feet last year. The mountain facade crashing to the ground in the load area of Splash Mountain. The tree of life at AK branch falling off into the queue sidewalk. The light post falling onto the load platform of Everest. 2 CM deaths on Primeval Whirl. The Monorail Crash. So a head falling off an figure really isn't out of the ordinary OMG! for WDW.

A lot of these could have easily fallen by substandard maintenance and training.

Specially the poor monorail..
