Can someone tell people to stay home. OMG the traffic! I drove through Providence for four years and it wasn't this bad. Maybe it's the earthquakes fault. And I'm nowhere near the city. Well, technically the town I work in is called a city but it only has 25,000 people, smaller than my town.

tiny roads?
too many cars?
I mean.. what could cause such traffic?

and why would people freak out for a 2.5 quake? seriously.. these are more common than seeing obese people with scooters at Disney World. :/

 

[Cesar R M]

I having the same trouble, being told I have to wait so many seconds.

Perhaps some people post too much and too constantly.. that they had to increase the "flood protection" timer?
I dunno, I've been getting that thing as well.

And Rejoice! MORE RAIN!!!
rained the entire afternoon and everything smells nice and fresh!

No, it's about 8 hours to Durango. But, this was only 1 1/2 hours away. Still a lot of fun. Now, I have the Durango and Silverton train to do, and the Royal Gorge Train to do. I fell in love with riding on the train. So restful and peaceful!

that sounds like lots of trains. Are the tours good in that area?

 

[Cesar R M]

Problem solved!

Weird, cant see the image

Not to steal Moxo's sunset thunder, but I absolutely had to share this pic from Tikiman's FB page:

The poly looks thousands better with no pizza hut shacks blocking the view.

Wow, if Mod doesn't look over 90, then mine (whom apparently I never named) looks absolutely decrepit! Which is probably why I don't sleep with him (her? apparently no gender assignment either, lol) anymore.

your teddy definitively needs a skin transplant :O

That is a really cool effect! I liked the "squirmy worms" at 2:30, "snowflakes" at 2:55, and "swirly twirly" at 9:29 (I'm sure there are technical terms for these effects, though )

Definitely a spectacular show. If Wishes is supposed to cost $60k, then I can't even imagine how much this one cost!

Well, during 4th of July and news years.. all parks go Full WORLD WAR III mode.

I still remember watching that video of the 2014 new year's at epcot.. insane!

Ah, another favorite movie! Especially 2:27 of the escape scene (sorry, couldn't find a shorter clip!):

My favorite part is when Linguini puts Remie inside his suit for the first time.
the laughing, the biting and then when he screams after he notices all the biting on his skin!

That was a horrible article. I feel bad for the parents but then again, they made her that way.

I would have cut her big time and forced her to work to get the money back.

Kinda reminds me of that atrocious girl who cried and insulted his parents... why you ask?
because they did not get the colour of the 2 million car she wanted.
Worse? she ended crashing the car 4 hours after and totaled it when she was driving out of their huge mansion.

I've never been to Vegas, other than hot how was it?

I love Vegas! Relaxing by the pool, eating at all the restaurants, gambling, clubbing. It's definitely an adult Disneyland for me! We took our DD there last year and she loved it, too! We stayed at the Signature, which is part of MGM, and a great place for families because they have 1-bedroom suites with full kitchens, plus you have access to the MGM pools and it's away from the strip so much quieter. And it can be very affordable, too.

I love that part, too! Especially when Linguini goes "ooh" and sort of shimmies!

Well, cats will be cats...

speaking of stuff..

yesterday.. my mother had to pick up my grandmah to go to eat somewhere.

Since her car broke down agaaaaaaaaaaaaaain.....(the jeep)
We decided to just play it safe and went with my car to the beach to a nearby restaurant.

I always order my favourite dish!

Its a platter of seafood (fish, shrimp, octopus, snail, crab and other stuff) in garlic with pasilla chile sauce.

Yum, looks like the Maine Lobster Boil I had at Fulton's - minus the snails/octopus (although I like those, too)!

 

[catmom46]

Well, cats will be cats...

Love it! Even in the wild, kitties still love to smoosh themselves into tight spaces!

 

[catmom46]

Yup, saw it on Saturday. Didn't care for Brave that much (it's okay, but there ae better Pixar movies, and definitely better princess movies) but excited to see what they do with her on Once. She's supposed to be a recurring character.

One of the reasons why I really liked Brave is because it's the first princess movie where the princess doesn't get married! I love that she's independent like that.

We've used Award who has merged with Contempo. Contemptuousness is the sight 3br 2.5 bath condo about 5-10 minutes from parking $108 per night. Fully stocked kitchen living room and each br has a tv. That's the only way we can swing long visits. I'd love to stay on sight but 2 boys and us 1 bathroom for a few weeks NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Downside they aren't themed, no EMH or+10 for diningand, fp+ 30 days instead of 60. VS a much longer vacation the Disney portion will be 14 full days. I hope that helped We got a better rate by booking early and being return customers. But it never hurts to ask for discounts.

Thanks for info.

And yeah, that one bathroom thing not good. At POR & FQ I had been known over those 2 week vacations to sneak out of the room and just go down by the pool and use the showers/bathroom there while everyone else was bustling around the hotel room. Thedouble sinks were helpful there and once they added the curtains/doors in the moderates to separate the sink area from bed area life became so much easier for the 4 of us in a hotel room in the morning and night.

I'm going to have to check it then. I do not like chevy Chase, but I would definitively see it for Bill Murray.

Awww, I love Chevy Chase! Especially in the movie Fletch. Classic Chevy.
