Have a funny confession to make. Even though I've been an adult for quite a few years, I still (secretly) want to ride those silly rides they have outside of grocery stores, or in malls, etc. There's a little merry-go-round in front of a grocery store near me, and I see toddlers on it. (Maybe if I went over there late at night when the store was closed, I might be able to sneak on the ride without anyone seeing me? :hilarious: )

I dont know why I imagine your partner in crime acting like stitch while riding with you :hilarious:

tongue and out and pondering death XD

So on Mondays and Wednesdays, I don't start class unt 1:30. Normally, I set up an alarm for for 9, sometimes 10. Today, I didn't do that. Woke up at 11:30. :eek:

Did not intend to do that. Then again, I'm in college. I should enjoy this while I can.

I got up at 11:30 too ....

Yeah, after I was up from 4:45 - 5:15, and then again from 6:10 - 7:45 ... after going to bed early at 2:30. :rolleyes:

While many of QS restaurants are blah and redundant there are some superior choices within Disney World that rival some of the table service offerings.

Columbia House, eat upstairs - MK

Mara, AKLodge

Captain Hook's at the Polnesian has excellent full breakfasts and amazing lunch and dinners, a good break from parks or going between Epcot and MK

Flame Tree at AK is likely my favorite though QS Yak and Yeti is also a place I enjoy, lots of food for just one person. FT should reopen after a delay in late May.

Sunshine in Future World has so many healthy choices with well prepared food, we hit that one up multiple times during a trip. Desserts are wonderful for a pit stop in Future World and their potato salad is soooo good too.

The Contempo at the Contemporary is similar to Capt. Hooks, with full meals for dinner and great sandwiches for lunch. Also a great break from the parks.

I'm a big fan of Earl of Sandwich in DTD. Seating is my only deterrent.

Yorkshire at UK pavilion Epcot always spot on.

Though harder to get to Roaring Forks at Wilderness Lodge, yum.

Breakfast at the Hallow, MK waffles fresh, hot made to order, a bargain.

The Boardwalk Bakery is good for sandwiches as is Starring Rolls at the Studios, both very share-able.

My experience is you can eat some pretty incredible food at WDW if you avoid the typical burger, chicken places and seek out the ones that offer fresh choices.

We have one (Five Guys) within walking distance of the main campus. In two years, I have not been there. And not because I don't see the appeal; just know that my current method of bringing my lunch or getting stuff that's not fried (except for the fries I had with that sandwich a few weeks ago) is probably better for me. One of these days, I figure I'll go there. Probably when PMS gets the better of me.

Also because when I do go off campus, I either go to Subway to save money or to the pizza place. Because y'all know pizza is its own food group.

EDIT: And now that I've looked at Five Guy's website and the sheer amount of peanuts they have in there, perhaps I'm better off.

Our Five Guys is across from campus too. (I have yet to go there.)

Yea, on plans we always just label them "Tub" or "Free-standing Tub".
But, some folks like fancy terms like that. :)

Now, this is what I call a "Bathing Vessel"... ;)

I'd be afraid that would eventually fall...with me in it. :eek:

After 30 years, Hubby still makes me shake my head sometimes.
Our conversation last night ....

Hubby: I've got an upset gut. Think I'll make some toast.
Hubby: Is this open bread any good?

Me: Probably not. Use the fresh loaf I just bought.

Hubby: This bread is too fresh to toast. It would be a waste.

Me: Okay, make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Hubby: No. I'll have peanut butter and banana.

Twenty minutes later.
Me: How was your peanut butter and banana?

Hubby: Yeah, I didn't make it. I really wanted toast.

* slowly shakes my head

Heh, heh . . . you know, it all seems like so much extra effort when you don't have running water, etc. But when that's all people had, it wasn't any effort at all.

Years ago, my elderly aunt and uncle lived in an old farmhouse up in Maine. They used to pump their own water from a well, and heat up water from the stove. They also had an outhouse. One summer, the family went up to visit them for a few days, and stayed at their house. It was quite the adjustment for us city slickers. I was only about 5 at the time, and I was perplexed by the fact that there were newspapers and magazines on the shelf of the outhouse. Since there was no light in the outhouse at night (except for a little light from an open window), I recall asking my mother how a person could read a newspaper in the dark? I was concerned. :D

Hahaaa...!
I forgot to mention that, even though my grandparents on pops side had running water, it came from a big above ground cistern next to the kitchen, and that water was only used for bathing and the toilet. At least, I don't remember grandma cooking with it. The drinking water came from a well with a hand pump out by the tractor and car sheds.
The water was kept in a galvanized bucket with a ladle (that everybody shared) on a wooden stand in the kitchen. I used to love to go get the water. You had to leave a little water in the bucket to use for priming the pump for the next bucket. That first cool sip straight from the pump was always the best. :hungry:
Good memories. :)
