I haven’t seen any of them...yet.

You must and soon, they are awesome. I would start with the Last Crusade, then Raiders of the Lost Arc. Then you could probably stop. Temple of Doom is ok but skip the latest, but not greatest Crystal Skull.

I mean, he's basically a sugar daddy, but okay.

So my brother was supposed to start school tomorrow. But we have a hear wave and are expecting heat indices in the 100s tomorrow, and his is one of the schools that is unairconditioned. So...no school for him tomorrow. I'm working from home tomorrow, so guess I'm keeping him here. He was actually looking forward to going back and is super disappointed.

Is it just me or are people recklessly crazy on the roads this Labor Day? Today,we saw one NJ woman who was driving alone and texting . She drove off an interstate and into a guard rail. Luckily she lived. Then I saw a couple of traditional 2 vehicle crashes as well. Although today I just took my "girls' to the outlet.....I felt grateful to make it back alive

I don't think Labor Day had anything to do with it -- happens a lot, holiday or not, unfortunately.

Why don't people in your area call the cops? (I don't know the law in your state about fireworks, but there must be a noise ordinance that can be enforced late at night, right?)

The problem is was mostly the people on the other side of the lake and we can't tell what street it's on over there

Best of luck to the children starting up school for the fall, and to the parents who are adjusting their own schedules for work, daycare, etc.

The only thing I don't like about the kids returning to school, concerns my usual workday morning commute. When you add kids & young adults who are unfamiliar with public transit, and it takes them forever to figure out the payment system on the bus & trains, it really slows down the commute. Sometimes I miss my train connection due to these delays. This all straightens out within a month, once everyone has figured out their routine, but man, I hate September!!

and it doesn't get better until spring

@Songbird76 how's your ds's arm now?

Great! He hasn't complained about it hurting at all and he's using it normally. The doctor said that in 6 months you wouldn't ever be able to tell that it didn't set completely straight. He's right as rain now!

I believe it is a manpower issue on holidays. So many calls, so many different things happening, the priorities usually win. DUI's, Drunk domestic issues, crashes usually win in our community of noise.

Or our cop on duty doesn't consider noise on weekends before 10 or midnight on holiday weekends to be an issue

Glad your safe! I wish idiots would stay off the road!

It's not going to be a fun night at all. The rain has stopped so it seems everybody is shooting off fireworks. So much for going to bed early.

Why are they shooting off fireworks? What's the occassion? Just that it's not raining? Or is there some holiday I'm missing?

Thanks for sharing your trip! Aside from traffic and hotel issues, sounds like you had a great time.

It was a really good time! And really, the traffic was more annoying than it was an actual issue. That's the advantage of not really having a set plan. You don't have anywhere to be at a certain time, so you can't be late. The only time it was an issue was when we had to pick up the key to the apartment in Frankfurt. Even the rope drop at phantasialand was more of an "it would be nice to be there early" than that it was really important. The wait was 45 minutes, which we usually wouldn't do, but we REALLY wanted to ride it. We parked DS outside in the shade with DH's phone so he could play games and he was fine waiting for us. It all worked out.
The hotel thing....next time, we just need to do our research. That is the DISADVANTAGE of not having a set plan. But there was nothing so bad we couldn't deal with it for one night. It's kind of funny though....the worst hotel was the one where we actually knew we were going to stay in that town....that and Frankfurt were the 2 planned stops. And the best one was the one that was completely spontaneous....so maybe there's something to spontaneity. You don't know what will be available, but if someone cancels, you can scoop up their reservation at a great rate.
