No, we drank bitter chocolate from cups. What is the candy bar thing you speak of?

^^^^ the reason who have managed to live so long. No dairy or sugar

Have the meds started to kick in yet? GWS xoxo

Yes, been taking them since 2:00 pm of yesterday.

also, speaking of Tanya, her behavior reminds me of the way the US's female soccer goalkeeper acts.
Rude, dirty and blunt.

Oh that stinks. Don’t you have to worry about Zika in Texas as well? First it was malaria, then West Nile, and now Zika. Can we just breed enough bats to get rid of the darn mosquitoes?

What she said xoxo

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

Because they can I'm reserving judgement until the full menu and reviews come out but I'm almost certain it will stay off my list. $55 per person with kids climbing on tables I don't think so!

going to try to sleep, see you all later!

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

There is a rumor that Pinocchios is going to become a Italian buffet for dinner.

It baffles me at every Italian restaurant, you can easily get a box of pasta on sale for $1 (.81 Euros) but they charge crazy amounts for it especially Disney. Of course other ingredients go in it (like seafood) but it cost enough where waiters shouldn't have to rely on tips.

My daughter's school is actually having a Dr. Suess week!! Just like you all said would happen! Yesterday they listed out who does and who does not like green eggs and ham (i removed the names, but A was on the no list!)

Good morning View attachment 267042

The Yacht and Beach Club and the Contemporary are my favorite hotels. Why? Because you can walk to some of the parks and the atmosphere. I like AK Lodge too because of the animals but the atmosphere is really not that great (like you can't walk to AK or Blizzard Beach).

Well you can now have a table service/buffet at Pinocchio!

There is a rumor that Pinocchios is going to become a Italian buffet for dinner.

I don’t like that rumor. They already have plenty of overpriced buffets or prix fix restaurants in MK.

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

Ugh. No, just no!!

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

Velveeta broccoli soup was the first homemade soup my daughter learned to make. I request it quite often.

 

[Songbird76]

So many pages behind today. Have to ketchup later. Littlest dd not feeling well. She had a cheerteam party on Saturday night, so I hope she didn't catch something there. Illnesses have been going around.

Oh no! Don't worry about ketching up...just make sure everyone gets healthy!!

On our cruise they had a Dr. Seuss character breakfast and I ordered green eggs and ham. We're doing it on this year's cruise too.

Not really, Disneyland Paris is expensive and just didn't deliver the magic for me the one time I went. I might go in the future and hopefully have a better experience.

I wouldn't count on it. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time there in October, but I can't really justify that amount of money for what you get. Food there is hit and miss...most of it miss, and there aren't that many attractions. We loved Carrots (of the Pirabbean) , but that was really the only one we loved. It's just not the same magical atmosphere as WDW. It was a fun vacation for a few days, but I don't really need to do it again. I'd rather save a bit longer and go to WDW or go to a non-Disney place on my bucket list, like Italy. I don't think the lack of pixie dust feel was just you.

On our cruise they had a Dr. Seuss character breakfast and I ordered green eggs and ham. We're doing it on this year's cruise too.

When I was around 8 years old, my mom had her friend babysit us. She made us green eggs and ham, but without food coloring. Like she just added whatever spices and things she could think of to turn it all green. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever had and we all refused to eat it. So she pulled the "you cannot get up from this table until you eat your breakfast" so all three of us ended up just sitting there. All day. Until my mom came home just before dinner time.

I'm on the no column too!

 

[Songbird76]

She was involved. I did leave certain things alone, like there was a cabinet with spices and all that was fine, and the she had her lunch boxes stored in a cabinet, so I moved her tupperware with the lunch boxes. But she had dishes just stored in the dishwasher. I'm like, "No, the dishwasher is for washing dishes, not for storing things". And then she had food under the sink, and I'm like, "No, not sanitary, not doing this." So she would tell me, "I want food to go here" and then it would go where she wanted, and then I would find a place for other things. She hugged me when I was done with it. It wasn't just "Oh, I don't like where this is stored"; no one could find anything, including her. I think she's so overwhelmed with the move that having someone else do some of the organizing for her helped.

That sounds good then. I just know with my MIL, it seemed " disorganized" to her because it wasn't the way she organized HER kitchen. We had done things in a very specific way....dishes go in the cupboard above the dishwasher, things we use regularly go on the bottom shelf of the cupboards above the counter, silverware goes in the drawyer next to the oven/stove. Stuff we don't use often goes on higher shelves. And the pantry in the hallway is where we keep the extra bags of flour, sugar, canned goods, etc. My MIL just moved everything she wouldn't use into the pantry and moved the coffee to the cupboard above the counter and moved our dishes to a different cupboard...she just rearranged it how SHE would want it in her house without even asking if that's what we wanted, and I wasn't home at the time, so I came home and nothing was where it was supposed to be, and my husband hadn't seen her do it so he didn't know where anything was either. I kept having to call my MIL and ask her where the peanut butter was, or where the sugar was....oh hey, where did my plates go? Why aren't they with the glasses? It was a mess. And I know she meant well....she was honestly trying to "help", but she just didn't get that we had actually given thought to where we wanted everything to go. So I'm a bit....sensitive? about people "organizing" for other people.

I don't have time to scroll all the way through before I pick up DS from school, but has @Cesar R M been here? If you are here, I hope you are feeling better!

OMG my parents were CHEAP! All I ever got was a quater

Me too! My kids get 2 euros per tooth. DD just lost one a few days ago and I only noticed she hung her tooth fairy pillow up when I knocked it off the door. She doesn't seem too worried about the money though....the coin was still in there when I knocked it off the door again this morning.
