Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[des1954]

I'm teaching him how to "fit in" here in Fl.

Alas, Pete.... a particular someone's kid will never be taught how to "fit in" at FtW...:sad2:

If I'd had any children I'd be proud to have them learn from the "Master"!!

You could deliver it in person!! Solve a couple of problems... CJ would get a road trip, and you could have some Kungaloosh, for medicinal purposes of course!! BTW---do you have a Dr's appt scheduled soon?

[ftwildernessguy]

Good (late) morning all!!!

Today's useless fact:

More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes

This is why I always sleep with one eye open and a loaded .45 under my pillow.

[Pirate-Jeff]

1)Drive back to Disney
2) Ride everything in Animal Kingdom

[ftwildernessguy]

It's allready 12:15 if you are going to get all that stuff done today you better get off the Computer and get GOING

I could do all that in like 45 minutes.

[PolynesianPixie]

Well, I don't know right now, because the dr can't call me back...CJ just did something to the phone and now I have no dial tone, internet, yes, dialtone, no.

[PolynesianPixie]

Jen....you have a CELL PHONE! Come on girl! Do you want ME to call the doc for you? Do you want me to call your mother and get her to force you into the office!? How many crackers can you eat before you have finally had enough???? Take care of you!

[des1954]

i'll get to the dr.:sick:

Ya know Jen.... my dad put off going to the Dr when he had gall bladder problems. I remember him getting up in the middle of the night writhing with pain. By the time he finally agreed to surgery, his gall bladder had turned gangrenous!!! Quit messing around with this!!!

HEY JEN------GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am not a Dr. and I didn't play one on TV but I did drive by a Holiday Inn once.

[ftwildernessguy]

In general, I find doctors highly overrated. However, she should probably go.

[des1954]

I guess it's unanimous by default!!! We're all picking on Jen!!

Did you ever notice that, even though the toothpaste tube looks empty, you can still manage to squeeze enough for another round out of it? And even though you think that's the last time, you can get more out of it again?

We just did this for 3 days x two of us - it was like a contest to see who would REALLY get the last squeeze

[BigDaddyRog]

Where's Rog today???

Im suddenly having to "Wait My Turn" to use the laptop since Chris started the kiddie thread!!!! Shes worse than I am. She has a desktop on the second floor but claims "ITS TO HO-O-O-O-T UP THERE!!!"....the A/C unit for up stairs DID go out on us a couple of days ago, its like a jazillion degrees up there, but if she wants to surf with the big dis'rs...shes gonna have to learn the art of sufferring!! Or at least learn that "MY TURN" lasts longer than "HER TURN" because I said so!!!!

[Pirate-Jeff]

didn't you re-order that A/C from Wallyworld yet. Now you have an excuse to get it. Instead of being charged to BDR's toys account it could get charged to the household account.

[Pirate-Jeff]

Better yet you could buy one from Best buy use it for 13 days and return it on day 14 and tell them you didn't need it. or it worked poorly. Thats what my Bro-in law would do. He does it so often that everyone at the Hickory NC Best Buy knows him by name. The last time we visited them I made the mistake of riding with him to the video store (Best Buy). The woman at the register said. " Now Scott honey you know that you can not return this DVD you can only exchange it for the same title if this one doesn't work" he told her ok. When we got to the car he said he would return it next week. But she told you that you can't. He said if it doesn't work and they don't have anymore of the same title they let you pick one of equal value. and this will be the last one they have of this title because I hid the rest of them. There was no way I was riding back to the video store with him ever.

I just wonder about this guy after all he was born in Texas and raised in the sticks in western North Carolina.

[DisneySoccerScouts]

Or at least learn that "MY TURN" lasts longer than "HER TURN" because I said so!!!!

Does that really work? Of course, I just kicked my son off so I could finish this!

[DisneySoccerScouts]

My useless Fact of the day - I have been told repeatedly by my sons this week that your body can't perform any other functions when you sneeze.

Ok...I can't possible catch up on all of these threads (since I am far too busy watching the bat guys seal up my house :lmao: ) but I have to know....did Donnie REALLY get in trouble for golf cart DUI at the GG ?? Did security have to come quiet you all down ?? :rolleyes1

[RvUsa]

I have been looking for plans for bat boxes to put up on my house, I actually want some bats around to eat the bugs. LOL Are you having problems with bats? Our problem is the wood boring bees, they love log houses.

[ntsammy5]

You know, I've been retired from the army for 5 years now and my favorite thing to wear is still an army PT uniform:




http://www.army.mil/symbols/Images/phis.jpg




because it's comfortable, is great to workout in, is great to sweat in because it wicks sweat away, and it kind of defines ME! Plus I have about a million of them - I'm wearing a set now! It's also great to wear as PJs when we camp. It's an all around utility type garb! The only thing I don't like are the sweat pants because I wear the shorts as long as the temp is above 15.

It's kinda like Jen with her Auburn stuff! :goodvibes

[g8trmom1]

NO

No, Stacktester did not DUI!!!
He sat shotgun with Tigger's DH.
It was the horn honking that did the Fort Centipede in....and it was some other kids that were doing that.

[2goofycampers]

For anyone at The Fort recently: Did you see any of the changes or upgrades that are suppose to be happening?

[Gatordad]

They should be starting now, Millermousekeers will be the ones to see it, or MS. Gus.

[des1954]

I just finished "lurking" on the Kids of the Fort Fiend's thread. Pete....Rog.... keep away from the kid's thread!!!! You are NOT cool in the eyes of 8 to 13 year old girls. You are old farts!!! Like Megan said... O.U.T. OUT, dad!!!

These girls are so cute!! Can you imagine the chatter if they had their own little Grand Gathering??? And how do they do the "upside-down" question mark??

[kc5grw]

I had lunch with my cell phone cause I'm cool like that.

[kc5grw]

Sonya,

Glad to hear you guys are safe. We got hit 9 years ago. Took out both air conditioning units in the attic plus tons of other stuff. Almost $10000 in claims. It hit on a Saturday evening so we had to live without A/C for longer than one would like in Dallas in summer. No major structural damage, just lots of dead electronics.

[Us3]

:scared: I would have been camping in the driveway for sure...gotta have that a/c in Texas summer heat! Our downstairs themostat acted "funny" last night...but it's still cooling just fine....but we are still having it checked out! We have ton's of electronics that are either dead or acting funny...so the list is adding up quickly!:rolleyes:

[dean_and_monica]

Hey! I just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone. I know we haven't been too active since the GG over Memorial Day, but we have good reasons! Dean's been out of town for work and I am busy working on a BABY. We are due in December and I'm already planning our first trip out to the fort with the Kid in tow. That'll be a couple of years down the road though. Hope everyone is well and I'll try to check in more often!!

[Gatordad]

The baby was a product of the GG????? WOW, What will the disboarders think of next...........

Congrats again, and nice to hear from you again. We didn't have rain at this last one, not sure if we can blame you for it in May.....:lmao:

[dean_and_monica]

I don't think you could blame us for it. If we'd brought it with us we'd have taken it back. We haven't had rain here in over a month! Send us any you don't want. It's good to be back!

[auntie]

Congratulations on the new baby! What wonderful news. :love:

I let dd9 post on the Fort Fiend kiddo thread. She's only met Donnie's and Rog's daughters...but that's it. She seem's to think if she "get's to know them" on these boards...that it will be "a blast" at the next GG! Too cute! ;)

I like beans.

I like to fart.

I don't think I look at guy's legs any more than anyone else, but I may be wrong. It's not an obsession, though. Just once in a while. You know how it is. Time to go work out and grunt to re establish my manliness.

Yet another baked beans song..... (too bad you can't acutally hear it)

Agatha dearly loves baked beans,
It's a meal she truly enjoys.
But every time she eats them,
She makes an embarrassing noise!

Now she eats more than ever,
Enough to make me and you sick.
Cause she washes them down with pineapple juice,
And enjoys the Hawaiian music!!

Benny Hill

[2goofycampers]

alright boppers, who knows where Scottsboro, AL is?

40 miles SE of Huntsville Al.

[2goofycampers]

No, but I seen that store on Oprah, some pretty nice stuff at times.
If you see a little brown satchel bag that has Frank's name on it from 1982 pick it up for me will you. :rotfl:

[Gatordad]

Frank carries a pocketbook? How Happy!

[clkelley]

alright boppers, who knows where Scottsboro, AL is?

Not anymore he lost it in 1982.

[clkelley]

ever been there? There's a store called unclaimed baggage, where all the orphan baggage from the airlines goes.

I go there every so often. There are some good deals, but as they've gotten more popular, the prices have gone up.

What's even better is their section they have now on unclaimed freight. Where entire shipments of stuff gets sent there. Brand new stuff, at pretty decent prices.

Someone here asked a question about Team Fokker a few days ago. Although I'm usually too scared to venture over to the Community Board, I did find this post and thought I'd post it here. It explains Team Fokker very well.

This is the place for Team Focker Watch members to congregate, chat, etc.

As always, all are welcome. But who are we, anyway????

It all started with one woman's dream... a dream of finding a way to non-verbally acknowledge a fellow DISer across a crowded park...

Summer 2006: a terrific DISer named Lisa posed the question of how to acknowledge all those Lime Green Mickey Heads (LGMH's), lime green Crocs, lime green Baggallini's, lime green DISERS, when one is standing in line or otherwise unable to engage in conversation.

The answer? Robert DeNiro's infamous "I'm Watching You Focker!" gesture from Meet the Parents:

http://www.netzeitung.de/img/0088/166288.jpg

What followed was the joining together of many DISers willing to give The Look to other DISers. We began posting trip details in order to find one another. Then, we started chatting about our trips and building friendships. That's when it got chatty. REALLY chatty. Which is the reason for this thread - here we can chat away, keep in touch with old friends and make new ones. :goodvibes

We are TEAM FOCKER WATCH!

One rule:
Let's keep it clean! We all know how much fun one can have with the name Focker, but let's refrain from inappropriate word-plays with it on the boards, k?

Welcome, and ENJOY!

I don't think so. I've never seen her.

[Gatordad]

Yeah, here's another one for you... dig my glasses, eh? oooh... and the HAT!

My wife just read an article about Richard Simmons turning 60. She says he eats a salad 3 times a week for dinner and thinks we should do that, too. Yeah, right. Only if it's loaded with meat and cheese.

Look what it did to his hair. :scared1:

Me, Mickey and my cousin Magic Kingdom opening day 1971. Notice my fist balled up I was in the striking position LOL whoever was in that Mickey suit squeezed the heck out of my hand and I was quite mad!!!!!

Look at you Ron!!! So cute and dressed so dapper!!! I can't believe you were there opening day!!!! That's pretty impressive!
That beats being the first to swim in the FW pool.

[Colson39]

I haven't seen a Bambi character in the parks forever, however last weekend when we were leaving Epcot around 2 PM, there was a young adult male and a young adult female deer browsing right under the trees right past the parking lot when you're exiting.

We drove by a couple times, not the first time I've seen a deer at Disney, but the first time I've seen one at the parking lot in Epcot...lol.

It would if we weren't on the camping forum, thus being the first to swim in the pool trumps all.

Tips for the ladies in year 2008

1. Aspire to be Barbie - the girl has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy one in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here..

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot, it solves nothing; and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons in 2008 - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.

12. Remember every good looking; sweet, single male is someone else's ex-boyfriend!

Maybe this is how I can entice my DH to go to WDW. I'll tell him that Disney has opened up deer hunting and are "stocking" the World.... :lmao:

[PolynesianPixie]

Hey! I just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone. I know we haven't been too active since the GG over Memorial Day, but we have good reasons! Dean's been out of town for work and I am busy working on a BABY. We are due in December and I'm already planning our first trip out to the fort with the Kid in tow. That'll be a couple of years down the road though. Hope everyone is well and I'll try to check in more often!!

:yay: That's wonderful news!!!! Congratulations!

Here's a link to 316 drink recipes containing "Rumplemintz":

http://www.idrink.com/bying/Rumplemintz.htm

I've had one #$%! of a week. I asked dh to stop on the way home and pick up some Rumplemintz. How do you all like to drink it? I usually drink either wine, beer or absolute...this should be a fun night! :woohoo:

[VACAMPER]

:flower3:

[LONE-STAR]

We where on the monorail in November going to Epcot and we saw like 20-30 deer just outside Epoct.

[clkelley]

2. If the shoe fits - buy one in every color.




Or at least buy several pairs, cause you WON'T be able to replace them when they wear out.

(Shoes are really ugly lately!! Especially sandals!!)

[clkelley]

We where on the monorail in November going to Epcot and we saw like 20-30 deer just outside Epoct.

When I went through the MK toll booth at 2:30 am and made the right turn to go to Ft. Wilderness, I saw several deer on that road (never can remember the name of the road).

This usually happens. I know I've ARRIVED when I see the deer :-)

[LONE-STAR]

When we checked in to FW this past November it was 10 pm by the time we got to our site unloaded the cart and took showers it was 12 am but I had to go for a ride. So about 1am we saw about 4 deer by the 100 loop.

[BigDaddyRog]

Rumplemintze tastes HORRIBLE, like scope mixed with terpintine...so anything you mix it with is only going to make the mixer taste horrible. The best method is to chill the heck out of it, and do shots real fast, and chase it with something immediately. Dont go crazy your first time...it hits you like a mac truck...do maybe 3 shots and see how it affects you after 20 minutes. Its a great buzz...not a drunk.....its a completely different high.

I have my "uh oh it must be late" shot a couple weeks ago while we were all out, it's called an Oil Slick (or a Screaming Nazi, but trying to be PC here :P). Rumplemintze and Jagermeister together, one is clear the other one dark (and they float on top of each other, hence oil slick).

That's what my wife calls the "trouble" shot, and she hates when I take them. They normally mean lots of frivolity ahead....lol

[VACAMPER]

Didn't you get the bulletin, no oil slicks after you become a father. Beth didn't tell you.

[RvUsa]

You know, I got Matt to go to my aunts for the night and we were gonna go to this really cool Micro brew/restaurant in slippery rock and I was gonna sample them all. But E won't get out of bed, she says she has a head ache. She doesn't usually use that excuse this early in the day. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_2_61.gif (*******************************************ZSzeb0 01_ZNfox000)

My husband is headed to upstate NY..to our seasonal site. Bringing the golf cart up. We've had a very late start to the camping season this year. Between family BS that we have going on..and the kids ending school late. We haven't gotten there but twice since May. Now it turns out that I pulled my back..and won't be making the 3 1/2 hr. drive. He's on his own! He loves it..travels at 3 in the morning so he doesn't hit traffic. We have my younger son taking up some friends the last week of July. I've got to get ready to accomodate FOUR teenage boys....
Anyone recommend a good tent? What's brand should I be looking at..or does it matter? I figure the kids will have a better time in a tent than cramming into the trailer with us. Also..they are BOYS..and farting is not only hiliarious(and no, it apparently doesn't matter how old they get) but a favorite past time. I don't wanting ANY of that in the trailer. Suggestions anyone?

My kids need good vibes from everyone. They are heading to our Regional swim meet this weekend and my daughter has an excellent chance of qualifying for State in three events. She's pumped and I'm nervous. My son has about a 50-50 chance (it's only his first year to swim).

Sam swims Saturday and Maddie swims Sunday.

I would get the least expensive thing around...if something bad were to happen...they could always end up in the trailer for an emergency.

John and I have been discussing how great it is that the kids are posting, and would like to offer a pass word protected section over at John's site so that ONLY the kids and their parents can look in on the conversation, so they can talk freely without giving TMI to lurkers. They would also be able to start their own threads and have some supervised fun. Feel free to PM John or me for the password. John has also taken away PM's for the kiddos none in none out.

Hope this is ok Rhonda and Scott.

Maybe your kiddos can join in on the fun.

It was Denise's great idea, I already made the forum, and they can start posting if they want. I like the idea that only the people that we "want" to be there, will be there.

If you guys have suggestions, or comments, just let me know.

Sounds like a good idea:thumbsup2

Great idea!! No need to spread that kind of info out about the younguns, good job!

BTW, Florida had some great weather tonight, not too hot, not too warm, just right, anybody there this weekend is in for some great weather!

[des1954]

Maybe in South Fla it was nice, but it poured like a banchee at WDW & surrounding areas yesterday afternoon between 4 & 6. You know, the kind of rain where everyone goes 25 mph on the interstate? We left Epcot just as it started. A normal 30 min drive home took roughly an hour.

ugh, slow driving rain, that's the worst :( Especially when you're on your way to Disney...lol

If you go to ABC.com or Fox.com, you can watch any episode of popular TV shows for free. That's what I do if I miss an episode of Lost or House. I know ABC has all the seasons from Lost & Desperate Housewives available on-line. There are other programs too, I just don't remember which ones - cause Lost & House are the only two I am "obsessed" with.

Hey Carol - there is a post on the main camping board questioning the electrical service on a partial hook-up site. I can't answer it cause I've never stayed on one. I KNOW you can. I bow down to you, Carol!!! You are a true camper! Most men couldn't set up a site like you do!!:thumbsup2

Thanks everybody for the prayers!

DEB- "Death, where is your sting?" I left MILs Bible open to that page....I hope she sees it. Thanks for that!

Scott's G-dad had a pretty good night last night despite everything. He has a brain tumor and it's growing rapidly. I adore that man! He is the sweetest, gentlest man you could ever meet! With WW2 stories that could curl your hair! I'm really not ready for this.

His Stepdad, on the other hand, isn't fairing so well. He was pretty out of it yesterday.

I have to say, though. Last night, I sat out on MILs porch. She lives just a bit off the beaten path and right next door to her parents. It's quiet out here, except for the crickets and bull frogs and the sound of water rushing over rocks in her pond. Her porch is something right out of an old movie set. Burl himself would be proud. I sat on her rocker with the blueish light covering everything, listening to the sounds of nature and my girls and their cousins chasing frogs and fireflies in the yard, running back and forth between the 2 houses. This is the stuff that makes memories. My kids will always remember summer nights at their Grandparents house. I just can't help but think that the summers just won't be the same after this one.

I didn't know this (and I know I am not supposed to go to Lowes but my pocket book says I have to)...

Lowe's will beat any advertised price on appliances and beat it by 10%, so if you have a washer and dryer on sale for 999.99, they will give you the same set for 899.99. So, I am going to Lowe's to see if they are worth their word.

Jen- Get Lowes to write down their best price & then take it to Home Depot. Our store manager will always out-price Lowes by 10%...but you have to have it in writing.:thumbsup2

but they don't have the washer i want....now what?

see, i had the repair guy come out 8 mos ago (when Chris was off work, BIG MISTAKE) and he put in a new main circuit board...250 bucks...I was so mad he authorized that, but water under the bridge...

anyway, same board made very expensive smell right before we went to the fort and dryer is not far behind...went to consumer reports and they said best value for the money and reliability is the fridgidare gallery series...

we got ours at home cheapo... (sorry deb and now that Tony Stewart won't be driving for them anymore I can say it more).... They do have the best prices...

[Gatordad]

Thanks everybody for the prayers!

DEB- "Death, where is your sting?" I left MILs Bible open to that page....I hope she sees it. Thanks for that!

Scott's G-dad had a pretty good night last night despite everything. He has a brain tumor and it's growing rapidly. I adore that man! He is the sweetest, gentlest man you could ever meet! With WW2 stories that could curl your hair! I'm really not ready for this.

His Stepdad, on the other hand, isn't fairing so well. He was pretty out of it yesterday.

I have to say, though. Last night, I sat out on MILs porch. She lives just a bit off the beaten path and right next door to her parents. It's quiet out here, except for the crickets and bull frogs and the sound of water rushing over rocks in her pond. Her porch is something right out of an old movie set. Burl himself would be proud. I sat on her rocker with the blueish light covering everything, listening to the sounds of nature and my girls and their cousins chasing frogs and fireflies in the yard, running back and forth between the 2 houses. This is the stuff that makes memories. My kids will always remember summer nights at their Grandparents house. I just can't help but think that the summers just won't be the same after this one.


wow, those sound like good memories... now all you need is Burl to sing for everyone.....

Keep your chin up.

It's okay, Pete. They don't give the employees a discount, so Home Cheapo is appropriate!!!

[Gatordad]

I hate Lowes more, if that makes you feel any better... they are a pain in the buttocks to deal with on a business standpoint.

They are worth their word. We got our washer there last year. We just called HH Gregg from Lowe's and they gave us HH Greggs price minus 10%. Of course, ours cost nowhere near that, cause our old one broke at the worst possible time, so we just got another standard washer. Our hope is to get one of those new FL sets soon.

I love the Munsters... which Marilyn was it in the first season, Pat Priest?
The Munsters house was next to Delta House.

Beverly Owen was Marilyn

[Millermouseketeers]

Good luck Jen with the washer and dryer! Great way to get back to the real world isn't it? We returned home to 101 temp and a broken air conditioner downstairs. DH thinks it is the compressor, of course! We are just thankful for air upstairs otherwise we would be in the pup in the driveway. I keep thinking this is gas money for a fort trip.

[ftwildernessguy]

Beverly Owen was Marilyn

I think you are both right. Marilyn was played by two different actresses during the Munster tenure.

[ftwildernessguy]

And so will you....and memories cant be taken away. They are taking the first step of a journey to a much better place...they arent leaving you guys behind....they are just going ahead of you to make sure that everything is perfect for when you arrive.

Surprisingly insightful. You are deeper than you appear, Rog.

Jim, it's not a matter of being right. I simply asked her which marilyn was it, Pat Priest. everyone knows there were 2 Marilyns.... although they are less popular than Dick York and Sergeant.

I'm hating being a college student at 40yrs old right now.

Welcome to the kingdom of "old-fart-dom", Pete. Hang in there...it'll be worth the effort. In today's world, a BA is the equivalent of an AA 10 years ago. If you don't have an MBA...you're worth squat!

My fear is that once I get it, I'll still be worth squat.

You will be more marketable, though. BA=Barely Acceptable. MBA= Might Be Acceptable!!!:rotfl:

That being said, degrees are becoming more and more less necessary. I'm a software engineer, and not a single person in my entire company has a degree, they are all self-taught. Myself, I went to college for a couple years, but found it wayyyyyyyyyyy too slow and absolutely pointless. I've been doing this for over 10 years now, and the lack of a degree has only made me realize how much money I saved...lol. The problem is that colleges have basically become money mills, and the increasing price of education is absolutely ridiculous. It's no longer about putting forth the brightest, it's about how much money can be made.

I understand that degrees are still required for a lot of fields out there, but I even heard my dad say the other day that a degree just isn't worth much anymore (obviously doctorates and the like still are), and he was ALWAYS a huge "you gotta go to college" kind of guy. He was a cop for 25 years, and the only reason he got a degree was for the pay raise. Go figure that he graduated Summa Cum Laude....heh.

I just read a study today that only 15% of the parents of graduating high school seniors had the $100,000 for a college degree. Colleges are outpricing themselves, and unless you are in a field that absolutely requires a degree, I really don't see the need for one.

That being said, let me go deposit some money into Reilly's college fund...lol.

I know it will pay off in the end, setting me apart from others, but dangit the light is a little flicker at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it's not Rog down there with his candle.

[RvUsa]

Every time I see a light at the end of my tunnel, it turns out to be a freight train at full speed, and it runs my *** down!

Why is Rog bending over next to the candle??????

Now I've read your post more carefully and see this. It's Sunday - so what the hell.

Caddyshack - what a great collection of talent. It's a shame some of these greats in the comedy world are dead - Dangerfield, Knight. Even though Ted Knight was not well known for his comedic talent, he was a great character actor.

I remember seeing Dangerfield in 83 or 84 in the Fox theater in Atlanta. What a great show.

Has anybody ever eaten at the Murray Brother's Caddyshack restaurant? I have heard some good things.

Yep, that is it. We went there last week to go to the character premiere outlet store. I can't stand paying park prices for stuff, so I wait and get it there half off. Nice mall, all enclosed.

Rog: IIRC you were asking something about this pic of MM. Disney shopping has it on a wall canvas and other items. You can zoom in and get a look at it.
