I at minimum skim my Disney Annual Reports in recent years. Can't say that type of info is the focus of their annual reports. What kinda class is he a professor for?

Me, I use to love the old Annual Report. A book of what was coming in the Worlds of Disney, full of photos and concepts. The late 80s and 90s the annual report was fun to pluck out of the mail box, better than Christmas catalogs of yesteryear.

Management. Which, to be honest, my finding with a lot of management professors is that they stopped living in the real world when they became professors. I find that to be less true of marketing, accounting, and other business professors. Don't get me wrong; I adored my one management professor, so much so that I signed up for her twice, but some of the others...Marketing, accounting, finance (ugh), all tend to have a more "real world" perspective. Thankfully, after this semester, only one more management class, and then electives. Marketing electives, I hope.

My favorite was when my marketing professor assigned his group project last year. "The department thinks that you'll function better in the business world by doing group projects now. That's bull carp, but since the department wants it, I have to assign it."

So, we're warchin' "Beat Bobby Flay", and Flay says, just before they pick which chef's gonna' go up against him, "It's gonna' come down to who's food tastes better."
Who'd a' thunk...?!!!

I'm not a fan of that show, he always wins. I saw him on the cooking channel, coming up against regular chef's and he didn't always win. I have a suspicion , it's not on the up and up. JMHO

Has anyone else tried to buy tickets to a really popular concert? I just got done buying tickets to a Twenty One Pilots (twentyonepilots.com) concert, and I had to settle for a re-seller. I was buying tickets to the Orlando concert at the Amway Center, (where the Orlando Magic play), and within 30 seconds, all the tickets to the general admission area near the stage on the basketball court were gone. I had to pay $80 for a ticket from another website. I think it was worth the $20 extra bucks.

I'm currently watching it on Netflix. Is the UK version on Netflix? If so, I'll probably give it a go, but Steve Carell has got me hooked.

I love Steve Carell, he was so funny as Noah, rebuilding the ark, in the movie....Evan Almighty. Now, I'm going to have to watch that series.

Look into doggies that have a low allergy rating and then consider fostering a doggie. It is short term until they can be placed and a good low risk way of testing how you will react to them. If one doesn't work you can try a few more breeds. In the meanwhile you'd be doing something kind for a pup looking for a permanent home.

Hubby is opposed to me doing that, he knows I could never give up a puppy, that I've become attached to. He thinks donating money is a way of helping and not getting too involved.

 

[betty rose]

Can your dh get allergy shots for kitties?

We've both done allergy shots, mine were for 5 years...hubby about two. Our allergies didn't completely go away. Although it's been awhile since then. I could look into it, but I think hubby is over being a pet parent.

 

[betty rose]

Have you tried baby kale?

No, I'm going to look for it at the store. We have a pretty good store about 1/4 mile away, and I can walk there . Fresh air...no sunshine today!

Great news pumpkin is a veggie and canned is a great way to get it. Except canning will kill off a few vitamins as will any form of cooking. If you make the pie sans crust and maple syrup instead of sugar it will be healthier More to the original question one slice of pumpkin pie should yield about a serving of veggie.

I feel that way about apple cobbler.

But then someone has to eat the gross/bland food. I guess I just don't understand why it all can't be good. I think a kid's meal should just be a smaller portion of the regular meal...like in the good old days...when we didn't wear seat belts and played with lawn darts.

I loved lawn darts. And we never killed each other with them.

This is a very good question. I was wondering this just last night. I went to an amazing adult haunted house that had a two hour wait and a very well done queue. They had tables set up selling snacks along the way while you waited. They were also playing a Halloween movie that you could watch while you went through the line which I thought was excellent. I would assume Disney would make big money off of in-queue snacks. Maybe they don't want to have to clean up the mess?

Most likely. Some people don't know how to put trash in a can next to them.

 

[betty rose]

Don't you just love the Halloween movies! We are watching The Shining tonight and Rocky Horror tomorrow.

I loved the shining, it was about the Stanley hotel. We have been there, the music room, was scary spooky. As was the basement. DD and I both heard something strange when being in the basement. No one else was in the area. We felt the air change all of a sudden, to cold then, almost instantly back to warm. It was summer, no air conditioning, in this particular area. This was many years ago, over 20. It's since been upgraded and remodeled. Not sure what it's like now. Haven't been back.

You are so so lucky! What I really want to know is what did you eat in Naples?

I've been wondering about the food too. Great minds think alike.

He explained why he was a jerk to everyone in the same thread. No surprise so many kid starts either suicide or end in trouble with drugs or violent stuff..

He's been hospitalized numerous times because he suffers from schizophrenia.

Pizza.. Curbside!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

So do you keep cats outdoors like in your barn?

Wanta see what was outside my window today? Our varmint control.

That beak of hers has a mighty hook in it.

We don't have cats now but when we did yes. Never had to feed them either. They kept the critters out of the feed and hay that's for sure,

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Spoiler

I think TV should show nudity but Americans will never go for it

That's because you don't have any children.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Yep. I can do without it. A good chunk of actors are best clothed, their talents are not necessarily their bodies. Some things are best unseen. While I can think of several exceptions the vast majority best covered.

I think Betty White is a phenomenal actress but I don't want to see her nude.

These are hilarious! My favourite was the Evil Washing Machine. You wonder how someone even thought of that. But this photo is awesome. Cinder-elephant:

so.. the cosplay is pretty much BABAR the elephant prince?

 

[Cesar R M]

Yes...there was that one incident. You are right.

eeeh, not one.. many times.

It makes sense since many queues do not even have trash bins. And noone likes to leave their spot.
I mean.. theres parents who even let their sons in the waiting line.. unbelievable.
