The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

I might be in the minority here but I don't care for the opening show at MK. It's just not my cup of tea. The fireworks and parade, minus Spectromagic, are my least favorite as well. My kids like them so we watch them but I would choose Fantasmic over them every time. Not because it's better but purely subjective on my part.
I do have a fond memory of DL with the Main Street Electrical parade. I remember standing right next to the American Indian and watching the green dragon go by. A couple of years ago I was at DL and I walked over to the American Indian statue and it just blew my mind that he hadn't changed but I was probably 34 years older. I know he in an inanimate object but the memories he holds. Does that make sense?

I can relate, my grandmother (RIP) on my dad's side was Native American. Blackfoot, and her ancestor's lived in Russia and migrated , after living in Canada, to USA.

Here is a picture of a puppy to make you feel better:

Or a kitten if you prefer

Or a puppy and a kitten

You are making my day, I love all the animal friends in the world. A short story, our car broke down, in a lot where they had guard dogs. Of course my husband told me to stay away...I didn't listen to him, they were doggies to me , I walked right up and patted them through the fence. Animals know who loves them...

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Who, Janis Joplin, The Doors, CCR, Johnny Cash, Motown...the 60s wasn't all cheese.

And besides, what's wrong with cheese?

He had just checked out of rehab, and had used heroin. I'm sure depression was a factor too.

Unless of course you love conspiracy theories - in which case, Courtney did it.

I never heard of that conspiracy.

I think the title is "Domestic Goddess" not unemployed.

I've been the domestic "engineer" in my family for years...painted the house for years, (husband is afraid of height's), outside, took out sod to put in tons of rock, etc. When you come from a farm, you know how to work like a farm animal. I have always preferred work outside, than inside. I looked for things to do over the years, to avoid cooking . Now, life has taken a toll on my back. It's inside chores... I would rather be outdoors. Not the same in a big city. I miss my farm life.

Rope drop. Heh. Who needs it?

Been 2+ times a year every year since I was a baby and have only done rope drop twice, and both times were Blizzard Beach before we got premium APs.

We do rope drop everyday.

Time for me to start to fix dinner. See you tomorrow, I'm very tired today. It's going to rain...I'm a zombie now. Good night, and good wishes to all, and a big, big, hug, to all who need it. I love this "family".

Thank you for all the kind words everyone. My mother was taken to the hospital because they thought she may have had a stroke, which she didn't it was just stress, but one of my sisters decided to put a claim on stuff in her house. Duh, she's fine and coming home, bring everything back! I don't understand people sometimes.

Are you kidding?
Even if (God forbid) she had had a stroke, why would your sister think she could raid your mom's stuff?
Outrageous!

We have had snow on Memorial Day, I hope not this year, I'm looking forward to hubby fixing steaks or burgers on the grill. Just about the only time he "cooks".

That's so funny; my father was exactly the same way! He wouldn't even boil an egg on his own in the kitchen (my mother did all the cooking), but all of a sudden when the warmer weather came--he was out in the backyard grilling up dinner! As a kid, I could never figure out how he couldn't cook inside, but could cook outside?

We have light rail to Denver. I love climbing aboard, and seeing the mountains in the distance.

Oh, that must be beautiful scenery along that route!

With all the budget cuts, our library doesn't even stay open like it used to.

Sorry to hear that.

 

[MinnieM123]

We have a book swap at our train station too. I took a good 4-5 dozen books to the train station about a month ago and shelved them. On Mother's Day not one was left.

Maybe people were taking them, and wrapping them up for gifts for their mothers?!

Oh brother, yet another friend of Jack's . . .

Ha! And here's another one for @JenniferS : A friend of mine who was unemployed for quite some time, thought that it sounded better, if he told people that he was "gainfully unemployed"!! He thought that gave him a bit more distinction and class.

This morning I was up bright and early to take my DDs car to the mechanic. Missed a light and then smiled. In cross traffic I saw the WinnerMobile.

The last time I saw the WeinerMobile it was parked in the Typhoon Lagoon parking lot.

First of all, hugs to you and to your mom. I hope she continues to feel better, and I'm glad she didn't have a stroke. (With the stress everyone is under these days, I'm amazed we all don't have a massive group stroke!)

As for your sister putting a "claim" on some of your mother's possessions, while your dear mother was in the hospital, is just beyond my comprehension. That's just COLD-hearted.

I'm so glad that your mother did not have a stroke...I hope you can work out the family stuff....certain members in every family can be difficult to horrible, I want the best for you , and Mom...

This is funny-looking, and I had a goofy thought: can you imagine how hard it must be to try and parallel park that thing?!
