I play this for my husband at least once a year. We have a laundry chute that goes from the top floor to the basement, and he always jokes that it's a "magic" hole. He says he throws his dirty clothes down it, and they come up clean...it's MAGIC!

On his birthday, wake him up at the time he woke you up on the day he was born. Then, tell him the story, complete with all the glory details.
Or forget his birthday next time. One of those.

Let's get real here, as much as you ladies like to blame people let's go to the proper place. If I hadn't reminded my kids to get a card for their Mothers birthday, mother's day, Easter, Christmas and any other time a card would be appropriate, she never would have got them. Kids only remember the days that directly enrich themselves. So now that you know who exactly is responsible, you know were to direct your displeasure. After reading some of these posts it is obvious that Fathers have no other obligations besides that, so as much as I hate to implicated the male of the family... I must!

When I was growing up, My parents made punzki's the night before Punzki Day. They did fry them.
My dad was taught to make Punzki's from his grandma. I used to each them for breakfast at home and a couple in a bag lunch for school
. Keep in mind that the Punzki's my parents made were smaller than ones in your pictures. I had other stuff in my bag lunch on Punzki Day back my old school days. The Punzki's replaced the cookies in the bag lunch.

Good observation -- I had also wondered about the ECVs. I was thinking maybe they might have (some) of them specially designed for the ECV people, which would mean that let's say (hypothetically) every 8th gondola would be ECV.
But then, that wouldn't make much sense either--so maybe all the gondolas are built exactly the same inside, and the ECV guests may not be able to bring a family of 8 with them, but maybe 4 -- and then the other 4 would be in a gondola directly following?
This is why I'm not in charge of the gondola project--clueless about all this stuff!!
Yep, I’ve skimmed a good deal of that thread from time to time, but, have yet to run into any kind of schematic for the “gondolas of death” themselves...!!!

Sounds like my mom, who refuses to wear her glasses and then angrily claims her phone doesn't work or that she didn't do anything (she did, she just didn't even see what she clicked) lol

I do love the Little Mermaid and I have watched it many times but after realising that Ariel gets married a week after her 16th birthday it lost some of its shine for me.
I love lots of Disney movies but I've never been a big fan of Princess movies and I say that with a broad brush, I don't hate them but I find most of them hard boiled. Your Mom is Dead, there are usually Daddy issues and a Dude somehow rescues you and you are married. The End. Most Princess movies run that same Harlequin romance type of story line. Give me Monsters Inc or Toy Story any day.
And yep, I surprised they didn't alter the Mermaid's age to a more realistic modern time acceptable age, could have easily inserted her just finishing school or something into the storyline for her not to be a child bride in this era.

Sad to hear.
But, glad she is not being neglected, and living in a place where she can get the help she needs.

On the gondola thread if you go back a few days I asked these questions of a couple members that have some solid informtion as I needed to be in a ECV during my December trip. Dan, Martin and Penguin are pretty known to know what they are talking about and have solid sources and they vet their info. They actually posted back to me a youtube of how the wheelchairs, strollers etc load easily onto the gondolas. I further asked if it would require a ramp of if it would be a flat roll on and off. It is a flat roll on. There is more than enough room for a 360 degree roll circle of a wheelchair. I had issues with the ramp make-shift loading coming off the monorail in reverse arriving at Epcot, this won't be the case with the gondolas 'cause nothing is being retrofitted like the boats and monorail they are being built as ADA compliant as available now (unlike the boats Navi River)
Here is the basic area of the thread. I look at it all as good news, no gloom and doom for how it holds and loads people. I thought I'd give you a hint cause the thread is 846 pages long at this point.
News - New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -
The weather downtime issue has been re-evaluated. There’s a possibility of a bare bones bus service to take up some of the slack given the realisation (!) the system will probably close down for several hours a day in the summer. Not the most elegant solution but better than nothing. How on...
That part of the discussion goes on intermittently over the course of 2 days.

Good grief. You can't win, can you? We have the opposite problem here. My dad the past few weekends has insisted on vacuuming the house. It's nice because my mom doesn't have to vacuum. Except that he uses the upright vacuum and uses the wand. Everywhere. Not just on the hard to reach places. Even though we also have a canister vacuum with a larger wand that is also newer. On the one hand, Mom doesn't have to do it (I currently can't because of my recent procedure). On the other hand, it takes him forever. I end up moving to the other end of the house after a while because I can't stand the noise anymore.Feel free to skip over this as it's long. I'm a bit disgruntled with DH. He's gone to play Ingress every weekend for like...the last 6-8 weeks. Last weekend (Feb. 23rd) , he didn't have anything planned and then asked if I minded him going out, because something came up that wasn't on the schedule. I told him ok, on one condition....the next weekend (this past weekend) was MY weekend, because we hadn't gotten to spend time together since New Years, and I've been stuck at the house every weekend because if he leaves, I have to stay with the kids and we can't go anywhere because we don't have a car. He's going to play every weekend, eating in restaurants, etc, while I'm left to make sure the grocery shopping is done, the kids are fed and do their homework, etc.
So he agreed, it was my turn. Then AFTER he put it in the schedule, he realized that there was something he had already signed up for and forgotten to put in the schedule for this past weekend that was supposed to be MY weekend. He didn't even offer to cancel the one that he was now breaking his promise to me to attend, but I figured, meh, we didn't have anything on the schedule and I don't mind being at home. It's only one more week. But it also feels like he's not listening when he's here. DD invited a friend over and I told her she had to clean her room and we needed to clean up our craft stuff downstairs so they could use the coffee table for their junk food while they watched the movies. Friday, I spent the day cleaning downstairs, putting craft stuff away, etc, and I had to work in the evening until 11. Saturday, DD got her room cleaned, but I cleaned all the stuff up downstairs. But in any case, DH then left dishes all over. I asked him to please remember to take them to the kitchen (Dishes are supposed to be his territory, which he has now decided the kids will start doing the dishes to get more allowance) so the coffee table was cleared for the girls. He nodded. I wake up Monday morning and the dishes are still sitting on the table exactly like they were the day before and he's gone to work for the day....so now I have to clean up his mess AND do the dishes before DD's friend gets here, even though I had JUST cleaned everything up Friday.
DD spent all day Saturday and Sunday cleaning her room while I spring cleaned the upstairs bathroom and helped her intermittently with her room, and there were several trash bags that wouldn't fit in the bin. He was off playing Ingress....I had filled the garbage can already, and set some of the bags in front of it because they wouldn't fit. So on Sunday he was home, just playing on his computer and playing boardgames with DS, there was one bag that was a bit heavy and I was afraid I'd lose my balance going down the stairs since my hip doesn't always work well on stairs. So I asked him to get it, which he did...but he set it in the kitchen in front of a cupboard. No biggie, I set a couple more there as it was pouring buckets and I didn't want to walk out to the shed with them in the rain. DD and I rewarded ourselves for our hard work by going to dinner so we didn't have to cook after spending the weekend cleaning. So I asked DH to please take out the trash bags (it had stopped raining) so DD and I could make a cheesecake when we got home....we'd need things out of the cupboard where those trash bags were stacked. And we come home, and DH goes and sits down to play chess with DS. So guess who had to carry all the trash bags out?
Then DD ran out of her cherry yogurt, which the store by our house does not carry. We have to go to the Jumbo to get it. So, yesterday, DD has her friend over to spend the night, and I ask her what she normally eats for breakfast, she says yogurt. So I asked DH to go get some of the cherry yogurt at Jumbo while I'm at choir so they have it in the morning. I get home from choir, and he says the Albert Heijn didn't have the cherry, so he got strawberry. I said No....JUMBO....I told you to go to Jumbo because Albert Heijn doesn't have it! He says "Oh....I missed that. I went to the other Albert Heijn."So we both work all week, and he goes out to play every weekend and leaves me to do all the work at home. I get things cleaned up, and he promptly leaves trash and dishes all over my cleaned up space and ignores me when I remind him to clean up after himself, and when he DOES do something, he doesn't listen to what I asked him to do. And then he complains about the way I handled the garbage, and the dishes, etc. Well then get your nose out of your phone and HELP me instead of leaving everything up to me while you run off to play!
Sorry...I just needed to vent.
And then talking about doing anything fun besides baseball games and vacation is like pulling teeth. We still haven't gotten him to go to Hershey Park with us. We have free one day tickets and still haven't talked him into it yet. sigh He says he has to do yard work.

Thanks for asking. Your husband sounds like a wonderful minister.
I agree. It is what it is now though, I’m trying to be optimistic and make the best of it. I’ve spent a lot of time today reading about what is and is not considered acceptable or respectful. I was on the phone with one of my friends tonight, she said
‘You’re stressing too much, kids dress up for plays, and this project is similar to a play. He is not use something as a fashion statement, or running around playing cowboys and Indians. He’s taking on the persona of a person in history who sparked his interest. It’s coming from a place of admiration, and can’t be construed otherwise.’
I’m going to take her advice and stop stressing. Tonight I read the book that T brought home yesterday, and I just downloaded an adult biography on Geronimo, I’m hoping to get thru a lot of it tonight and in the morning. We’re going to come up with props and a costume reflective of who he was, but I want to let T decide what the speech should be.

We seem to be in close to the same situation. I see what my Sis isn't seeing but it is there if you look. This weekend was kinda an eye opener on two levels for my Sis. One, she went to see a new Doc a young man for a Doc anyhow (her lady Doc just disappeared she had for years and I wasn't a fan, so this is good news) Their first visit he was checking her cognitive abilities and she still has her long term but her short term is marginal. She still lives alone in her house, pays the bills, cleans up home and herself so that is good but she gets into mischief. Like one day she decided to be a plumber and try and replace a pipe. Trust me, my Mom doesn't and never did have a single mechanical skill. She doesn't venture far from house in her car (woot!) doesn't cook anymore, thankful because the last few times the end results of her cooking is nasty. Loosing expensive eyeglasses and believing someone took them. She is starting to make up stories and confusing facts. Also loosing her filter both around us and out in public and her temperament is getting short.
I wanted her to move into a condo, no snow, grass to deal with or trees leaves. An older home needs various repairs and she doesn't say anything until something goes wrong like when she tried to remove part of the bathtub faucet to 'fix' the stopper lever, it wouldn't budge so she used a sledge hammer!!!! Porcelain Tub. She isn't ready for assisted living quite yet but in a good facility she might be happier. My Dad passed 2.5 years ago and the things I was already seeing have just multiplied in a few years pretty quickly.

Moana, Merida, Aurora, Mulan & Rapunzel have both parents alive. Tiana's mom is also alive and she has no daddy issues; she also never needed to be rescued. Moana, Elsa, and Merida have no love interests.
I grew up on Disney princess movies and still love them. I had the princess costumes, the Barbie doll type princess dolls (and Prince Phillip and the Beast) a princess themed room...everything. I still have the artwork and the dolls (Anna and Elsa have been added to the collection). Still love them. I even watched Frozen last night.
Of course, I named my cats Belle and Jasmine, so I guess that was obvious.

Yep, when we were kiddos I can’t even count the number of times when we were traveling/vacationing that we didn’t sleep on a “real” bed...camper bed over the cab of our pickup, pullout, cot, floor...we were always so worn out from all the days fun that it didn’t matter where we slept...!!!!!
