Where in the World is Bob Saget?

If they are extending cast this early in the day, my guess is those times are expected to climb, dramatically.

Checked again. The official app has everything, but Snow White having under an hour wait. Undercover Tourist is listing the mountains at 80-90 minutes, Buzz at 75, and a lot of 45 minute waits elsewhere.

My next door neighbors cat catches and disposes of house flies.

This cracked me up, because my dog, also, loves fly season. He thinks he's on a big game hunt. He'll spot a fly going by (this is in the house), and he'll run and jump up into the air, and "catch" it in his mouth! Then he stands there after swallowing it (whole . . . ew), and starts smacking his lips!

Video please. I'd wet myself laughing.

Basically, #10 only semi applies to me, so I think I'm good

The oak is down and now a pile of firewood. That made for a fun morning and afternoon.
Upon further assessment, though, it looks like another one will need to be taken down next weekend.
Luckily, we still have plenty of healthy ones.
Thank the Lord for chain saws...!

At first I thought these Pups were Chicken on the barbie.

Optical illusion!

I dont mind almonds myself, but I honestly prefer other seeds.

Noone likes the seeds of other plants like pumpkin? they sell a lot of dried seeds of pumpkin.
also walnuts :>

I used to eat the Indian pumpkin seeds all the time but now they are too salty for me. I prefer to make my own.

I sometimes wonder if (part of) the reason why some family members distance themselves, has something to do with it being too emotionally painful, to see their mother going through this. I'm not saying it excuses them from not visiting her (regardless of her state of mind), and also, from not stepping up to the plate, to give you and your husband a break, too. (If they came over, they could visit with her, while you and your husband maybe went out for a few hours to take in a movie, go walk on a beach, or go out to lunch, etc.)

The situation you shared is not uncommon in families. I also wonder if the reasons for those family members least able to cope with it, are: 1.) They think by watching your mother's mental decline, they are seeing the "future" for themselves, and they are scared to death of it; and/or, 2. ) They miss their mother that they knew, and the happy times growing up. This new, (mentally impaired) elderly person is now perceived as a "stranger" in their world; so, they are confused, and cannot identify with her now. Perhaps some of them are trying to work through their feelings. Reaction times for individuals can vary widely.

You have pretty much nailed it. My oldest daughter avoids seeing her mother. They never were very close, but, there was no bad blood. They got along with each other, but, never really connected in a manner that was emotionally satisfying. Both my girls have actually said that they are fearful that they will end up in the same place because of genetics. The oldest of the two has the same inflexibility of her mother, her world is black and white with no room for gray anywhere. It makes for a very stressful existence where there can be only one explanation for anything and they also cannot be wrong. Even if they are! Thankfully, since she moved to North Carolina I have seen a noticeable change in that for the better. She is much more relaxed and even able to laugh at herself more. I am encouraged. My youngest I am not really worried about, however, she has had problems with OCD concerning her thought patterns when she was in college and therefore is really fearful that she might end up the same way. She hasn't had any problems with that since shortly after her son was born twelve years ago. I think that was more Postpartum Depression then OCD. She holds a very stressful job, but seems to strive on it instead of feel the pressure.

I know that I am planning a trip back to Vermont in July and my sister has told me that I really should go and visit my elderly aunt. She is alone and having many physical problems and is 85 years old. I probably will go but I don't really want too. I hate seeing her like that and I'd like to remember her the way I always did in the past, but, since I am a grown up, I know I have to go and see her all the while thinking that this may be the last time that I do. It isn't easy and emotions are a very intense part of life.

Both are in charge of their mothers care, but my youngest has taken the brunt of the visitation and financial responsibilities. I'm kind of passive aggressive about it since they are 38 and 40 years old respectively and I cannot very well tell them to go visit her. I do make it a point to ask how she is doing though most times that I see them and instantly know who's been and who hasn't. Most of the time with the elder I get the response that she isn't sure, she hasn't been for a while. She then says... that she should go. All I say is... I agree your really should.

I'm pretty tired right now. Yesterday I was on my feet for most of the day, the only time I sat was to eat, ride in a car, and a bit by the fire pit.

The fireworks went well, almost. The Roman candles were terrible, but the big stuff was awesome. After the fireworks were done, someone took the bag full of the empty cardboard boxes (at least they thought that was all that was in there) and threw it in the fire. They didn't hear when we told nobody to touch that bag because it had a defective firework in there (it didn't go off when lit, but it was still full of explosives). All but two people were over by where we lit the fireworks off, and luckily the two who were by the fire didn't get hurt. They were lucky it wasn't one of the big ones we had.

And now bringing it back to the tired thing I mentioned at the beginning of this post. I would take a nap, but then I wouldn't want to sleep tonight. The reason I need to sleep tonight is I have to work at 6am tomorrow, so I have to get up super early. The good news is, I will be done with work at 10:30 tomorrow morning. But is it worth it?

Spoiler

No. Not at all.

You really sound like you need a little NAP. Or go to bed early.

It is only 90 degrees at WDW right now.

My thermostat says 90*. Not complaining.

I live with those fears on a daily basis.

That's the thing I guess - I expect my brothers to act like grown ups.
