That flooding is horrendous. Hope you get a few weeks without any rain.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Yep, now that BOG is going to be a signature for dinner Disney had to come up with a replacement. That will be Pinocchio's Buffet table service for dinner only. QS for breakfast and lunch

And BOG needed to be signature why? I need to go to bed before I get annoyed.

There’s an entire park and large playground beneath the water here.

Holy cow. That's so terrible.

Yes!!! I know Harper is going to love this so much! She loved looking at Christmas lights this year! Although, now when we come home from daycare she yells at the people who still have their lights up!

Lots of people still have their lights up. But do they have them turned on?

Spoiler

I do.

Holy cow. That's so terrible.

Yeah, for reference the second photo I posted is a building called The Current.. the photos below is what that area typically looks like.
Our entire new waterfront park is underwater.

..And the people’s homes and business.. I can’t even imagine.

It’s supposed to crest tomorrow, finally.



It’s the red building here - absolutely crazy that the river rose so high.

We have SIX different grocery stores (most are very large) in my area. Is the population exploding, or are we all just a bunch of gluttons around here?!

I'm goin' with population increase...adult folks are gonna' eventually find a certain somethin' to do when they're snowed-in for all those months...

Great. Now you should find out who gave it to you, and thank them.

thats the weird part, I do not remember meeting someone who was coughing or having flu like symptoms.. but then.. they can infect you when they do not seem infected.

Mr. Ferret, I have no idea why I cant see your avatar. I see an empty one.

As long as you are asking...the backpack please.

Just finished watching "The Best Years of Our Lives" on TCM. Love that movie.

I feel so much for all those people. That's some intense, major damage!

Soup is a staple here. They are the easiest things to make.

I love Soup. Soup is good food.

I was sad when every Soup Plantation/Sweet Tomatoes closed. Great for a quick salad/soup combo.

Went to Catholic school for 8 years as a kid. Basically, everything was a sin as far as the nuns were concerned!

My mother was educated in mostly Catholic school in her hometown of Shiner, Texas. She had her least favorite, and favorite nuns, but, has never told any horror stories.
Pops town was much smaller (less than 1000 population at the time) and he was educated in only a public school. Both started out in two room schoolhouses with mixed grades.
Pretty sure everything was pretty much a sin to everyone back then...!!!

Why does this not surprise me? I've never bought parchment paper in my life, but it figures you'd have a shelf of that (mysterious) stuff?!

Parchment paper is a staple in my life. More so than aluminum foil.

It shouldn't be a great leap...you were discussing snow.

 

[donaldtoo]

Regarding your response above to @donaldtoo , I read that it was around through (at least part of) the 1980s. Guess it just mattered what school or church you went to as a kid--whether it was ever mentioned.

Yea, the only "National Legion of Decency" I ever remember was "Mom and Pop"...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

And, on that note gang, I'm a goner...!
Y'all all be cool, and the sweetest of dreams to all of y'all...!!!
Laterrrrrrrrrrr...!!!!!!!

My mom once told me that she was scared of the nuns during her early grades.. not because of rulers (which they did use on knuckles back then-but Mom said for ‘only super serious offenses’) ..anyway, so she was frightened by their habits!!lol. She said that until about third grade she always wondered what was underneath, because the sound they made “swishing by”, and she also wondered about their hair. Ha ha.

I didn’t have nuns in elementary school, I did have 2-3 nuns who taught a couple of classes in high school, but they wore normal clothes...and all but one was the least scary out of all of my teachers.
My son doesn’t have any nuns at his school at all.

Same.

I wonder what is up with that one car parked the wrong way? Will they get a ticket? They would in our neighborhood.

We can park like this in the UK, as long as it isn't a one way street then you may get in trouble
