The talk with Mickey was ok, a little stilted. It was midnight and I was tired so I don't really remember anything he said or I said.

he still had shows at midnight?

Two interesting points here: first, I find it frustrating that they used to give you both appetizer and dessert, and tip! too, but now just dessert and no tip. Second, my guess is that it may cost them more to make the appetizers, versus desserts made of mostly flour and sugar. That's just a guess, but I'll bet you that's why you can't choose the appetizer over the dessert now.

I think it's mostly a time issue. If you get an appetizer and your husband gets a dessert you're there for 3 courses instead of 2, and tables don't turn as often.

The last set of pictures from my WDW trip. I had from open to 4pm to be at the parks so I started the day at MK and finished with a food fest at Epcot.

The opening show is one of my favorite things in WDW.

Breakfast at Gaston's. I never had a cinnamon roll at the Main Street Bakery so I don't feel disappointed in this one, in fact it was marvelous!

A big scoop of one, or a small scoop of each?
Decisions, decisions.

ohhh looks really good!!!

so.. ahem.. hows the adoption process coming thru?

 

[Cesar R M]

Quite sure.
You are either mis-remembering; or more likely, someone did you a BIG favour.
The Deluxe Dining Plan includes the app though.

I had the deluxe

and somehow ended with a staggering 18 points left when I ended my week.
I blame all the dinner shows we did

Pigglicious Cupcake, I actually bagged this up and took it home to share with my husband. It was good, I should have gotten two so I wouldn't have had to share.

Leaving Epcot (Ironically, I took a picture of the transportation sign and then went to the wrong bus stop!)

Again, all great, but the cheese and meat from Italy look 'specially yummy...!

So I took this picture at my second job where I had to go to a 5 pm meeting after working all night, then taking a recertification class, and getting 2 hours of sleep. I think it reflects how I feel.

Oh my.
Hope you're finally gettin' some rest.

I'm thinkin' a shaken, not stirred, martini.

I'm goin' for a big scoop of each and replacin' that milk with a brewski...!!!

I like to mix lettuce, dried cranberries and slivered almonds in a bowl then put blue cheese on top and I don't need dressing.

Actually, I think it's a pretty close race between you and @Gabe1.

Sadly more than one would think in 2015

Or, brew ski.
Or, is that ski brew...?

some photos I took today!

I'd say it's just about impossible. To me, it's all in the "intent" of whatever term is not PC. Many people don't have any intent whatsoever to hurt others, with terms that aren't the most current. I think you gave a great example of the man you didn't care for, but you could still put that aside, and realize that he had no bad intentions in his term at all. Makes me kinda sad that so many seem to judge someone else so quickly, when they don't use a PC term, instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt, sometimes. Again, usually I think people can tell if the intent is either positive or negative.

Thanks. It is so hard. The buzz words that are politically correct are ever changing and as much as we try they are ever changing.

When in the middle of a serious discussion the last thing that flows from thought process is the latest term. I guess what gets me is the medical formal terms nice or not were good terms that became slang and then politically incorrect. While doctors are not always sensitive (some are) the terms meant something. Now they are so dolled up it is difficult to wrap your brain around the latest acceptable term and still be able to discuss the freak'n budget without someone wanting to crucify ya. I really did not like the dude whatsoever but all he was trying to do was differentiate so the board would understand and the one word was totally taken out of context.

Context is something that seems to be totally disregarded frequently from forums to board rooms unfortunately.

That doesn't resemble the wine or cheese fests I have encountered coming down the mountains of Colorado.

That's 'cause you're not a middle aged pre-menopausal woman concerned with bone density.

So very pretty.

 

[Gabe1]

Ha!
