Where did you get your recipe for falafel and hummus? I bake my falafel. Hummus never cones out as good as Tangerine cafe’s. Never that creamy.

Looks like a mug shot to me. What did she do?
P.S.: I see they made her take the donut hat off, too.

The weather today is horribly COLD! I shouldn't have to wear fleece in summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come here little groundhog
That's because you wear fleece when the temps are in the 60s -- it's shorts weather!!!!
It's cause they are soft in Joisey

I've also heard similar comments from others. Most people still go to WDW, but not necessarily for the entire vacation--a number of people are now dividing it up between WDW and UNI.
We have always split our time between all the Orlando parks. Uni is taking more of our time now than when we first started going.

Yeah. We may do more Hilton Head or Florida beach vacations and maybe hit Disney for a couple of days as opposed to a week. I don't think they realize that there is a lot of competition out there. I would love to do the cruise again, but dh really didn't enjoy it. He said it yesterday again. He doesn't want to cruise again.

Ever been to Sea World? We went once when our 2 oldest were really young. Don't remember it all too well.

That's the thing -- my opinion only -- they're trying to get back up to speed now, with a lot of new updates to the parks. (That's all good.) Yet, I think they waited too long, and during the snooze period, the competition got right in there with blockbuster additions.
UNI, in particular, lured away even some die-hard Disney fans to their park. Now that they have that market, some vacationers realize that both UNI and WDW are "must do" destinations. Hence, I imagine most families have to follow a budget -- and the vacation money now gets split into two.
SeaWorld is a day out most times. They have awesome coasters and nice sunny places for Mrs F to relax with a beverage. Didn't make it last time as Bermuda took time away we cut that visit.

It's probably been at least 15 years since I've been to Sea World (I enjoyed it). The only reason I didn't go back was because of the extra time it took to get there and back. (When I go to WDW I'm only there about 4 days, so I want to maximize my time--plus, I'm already paying for a 4-day ticket.)

So I was amazed this morning. Think I mentioned that I did Ancestry a bunch of months back. Anyway some lady contacted me saying we were 3rd cousins and a dna match. I am thinking.. But then she told me she is related to my great grandfather on my moms side and she typed out the name of my grandfather and my 2 great uncles and great aunt, all of whom I knew. I was just dumbfounded this morning. I wrote her back of course. This could get interesting.
I want that to happen to me

Did you do ancestry? I did it on a whim for my oldest who wanted to learn more about where our heritage comes from. Dh's sister did hers, so he didn't need to. Funny enough, both our DNA shows that both families stem from Eastern Europe. Our DNA's don't match at all though, which is a good thing I guess. Wouldn't want my dh to be like some cousin a few times removed.

I have an account...the free one. I just haven't done a lot other than to put what family I know in my tree.
