Oh man, that's a real dilemma for a cat. Chase a beam of light, or hang out in a box?
That's like choosing between bacon and more bacon.

Always choose more bacon.

When the kids were still in grade school, we used to go the week before and week of Labour Day, meaning they only missed 4 days of school. The difference between the first and second week was like night and day.
I don't mind the heat and humidity, but I sure wasn't crazy about this trip's cooler temps.

Our last 4 trips (2009, 2012, 2013, 2014) were all during F & W. (Missed 2010 & 2011 as those were the years my parents passed.) 2009 was okay; nice even. 2012, we arrived on the final night, so Epcot was nuts! 2013 and 2014 - Food & Wine crowds and behaviour were intolerable. Even Hubby, who enjoys trying new beers, was completely turned off. Says we're "too old for this ship".

So, September it is. Might even spend a day or two scouting out condos on the West Coast.

Universal this year did a no outside waterbottles into their parks unannounced to patrons during Mardi Gras. Ran out of garbage cans.

Blah as quick as they are posting them the Oscars are pulling down.

Wow. Thanks for sharing that clip. I am so surprised to see her perform those songs, but she was great!! (I was also slightly distracted by the tattoos on her arms though, not recalling any on Julie Andrews, back in the original Sound of Music movie! Heh, heh . . . )

 

[MinnieM123]

There is no way you would end up in H E double hockey sticks!

Any chance that I might slip by is probably gone now; because I just heard that they have built on an even larger addition to H E double hockey sticks, to make more room there!

Later, peeps, and have a great day. Heading out soon (negative 4 this morning, with wind chill of negative 15) to the bus stop. Let's see if the driver decides to show up this morning, so that my bus buddies and I don't have to wait an additional 35 minutes out there for the next one . . .

When you met was it summer lovin'?

Had me a blast.

Yeah I don't like it either, however it's my daughter's favorite.

Would you like this? Banana bread peanut butter at Beaches and Cream. The restaurant was okay. I wouldn't go back but the dessert was wonderful. Extra scoop of PB worked wonderfully.

I don't remember but they used to have burgers. And I wanted the Home Run Burger, 4 burgers in one, (this was when I was a wee little lad) and my parents said no so I cried and cried. The end.

I like a lot of sweets that don't have chocolate in it. Schoolbread, this, Bread pudding, eclairs (chocolate only on top).

 

[ItlngrlBella]

Have you tried sub'ing with Chinese Shirataki noodles?

Yes! I just bought them last week at a health foods grocery and have yet to try them. It's so odd having grown up (and having made) home-made pasta to purchase pasta in a water-filled bag. I hope to try them later this week.

Mine would choose the box. She won't go after the laser pointer. It's like she knows she'll never catch the laser pointer, so she gives me this look like, "What is the point?"

She likes her jingle balls. And if you can put the ball in the box, she's in heaven.

But the way, how are you feeling @Cesar R M?

I am feeling way better
I still cough hard .. .but the sores are gone and my throat doesn't hurt that bad anymore.

Benadryl, like Gravol, is as effective as any OTC sleeping pill out there.
Feel better. Sleep well.

Thanks. A good night's sleep knocked out the migraine. As for the benadryl, not sure why I randomly started breaking out in a rash, but it's all gone now thanks to benadryl

I've had this! I have declared multiple times that this is the best thing I have ever eaten on Disney property.
(Dessert-wise, anyway. It would be pretty hard to chose between this and the steak I had at the Yachtsman!)

IF you like them they are also sold at Walmart in the refrigerator case with the lettuce and veggies, likely cheaper.

I'm dying to know what you think.
My cousin and I made them a few years ago. Once we opened the bag, there was no amount of rinsing that could convince me to try eating them.

I like the baby's shirt.

Oh My! I didn't even see the Seattle! Even better now.

Oh dear... Now I am scared. Olive oil, a little parm reggiano, pecorino and garlic usually makes anything taste good - I'm hoping that holds true for this.

Dare I ask... Was it the smell? If so what did they smell like?

Good to know! The ones I found were at Woodman's (a huge grocery store that carries tons of health and international foods). I'll try them soon - we'll see!

Greetings everyone!
After dealing with blizzards and some very upsetting life changes I haven't been able to post. Hope everyone is well and staying warm. Hopefully, spring will come sooner than later.
