    I Just Got Through Planting...

    I live outside of Chicago and just planted some pansies. Taking the chance that we won't have another frost... I just couldn't wait til Mother's Day (My Grandma's day for when it was safe to plant)--I'm ready to get out there! :)

    FREAP CHAT Part 2 ~ Everyone Welcome to our new digs

    I've been known to down a few mojitos and enjoy Bob Jackson's piano show at POR. You might find some kids there, but it's mostly adult. I also like to drink a few at the bar on the Concourse level at the Contemporary. Drink your way around World Showcase? (Hmm...I'm sensing a theme...

    Sunscreen help please

    We've had good results with spray-on sunscreen. Fair skinned and no burns. OP--Have you changed prescription meds recently? Some can make you more sensitive to the sun. Feel better!

    No Country For Old Men...

    What Are You Reading Right Now?

    Give it another try. I loved it--although I believe it took a bit for me to get into it. It has its moments.

    No Country For Old Men...

    That was me. :) Maybe I see it more 'cause I read the book first. Tommy Lee's character (Bell) offers bits of narration throughout--regarding his views on the changing nature of crime and his job/criminals etc. The ending didn't bother me (well, it did when I first read the book--and again...

    No Country For Old Men...

    I LOVE the movie "No Country!" But I loved the book, too, and just about all Cormac McCarthy books. Re: the ending--keep in the mind that the story is told from Tommy Lee character's POV... I'll agree that the ending is unsettling, but that's what I like about the story. It was a bloodbath...

    Disney Splurge On The Travel Channel

    I agree. I've never seen VIPs waiting in line with their guide--always gone to the front or in the FastPass line. That would be worth $100/hour to me if I were going during busy season and had only a few days at WDW. Otherwise, the DIS, TGM and UG have made me Disney-savvy enough to avoid...

    Mind if I ask a WDW trip planning question on this board?

    Here's Bob Jackson's (piano guy at POR) website link http://www.yehaabob.com/Page5.asp I recommend enjoying his show with a minimum of 2 mojitos! :thumbsup2

    Cubs or Sox?

    Your DH is lucky indeed! We just got on the season ticket list last summer--we're something like #14,276. Think we'll see those season tickets in our lifetime? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: And DVCKennyD--Love that pic, even if it was for the Sox! What a fantastic moment for you and your family!

    What Are You Reading Right Now?

    This is a great thread! What an interesting and diverse reading selection we have going on here! I'm reading Fat Envelope Frenzy and Neal Gabler's Disney biography. Envelope is about 5 high schoolers' quest to get into Harvard. I've been working on Disney for well over a year now--it's not...

    DLR: How many days for the two parks?

    We were there for 6 days a few years back and I could've stayed longer! Have a great time!

    I am so upset with dish network (Update)

    I feel your pain, but can only suggest that you do your research before canceling the DISH. I hate the DISH--we were always having errors on our bill (getting charged for shows we never ordered),losing signal, etc. And finally told them to cancel our service--I'm through. Well, then I checked...

    Cubs or Sox?

    CUBS! (Although, to be fair, I don't hate the Sox. Just don't follow them.) We just did a tour of Wrigley last weekend--awesome! Loved seeing the locker rooms--attendant said Babe Ruth is a regular ghost there. :thumbsup2 And who said Cardinals? For shame! :laughing: BTW--this is next year!

    Did you serve alcohol at your wedding reception?

    Yep--open bar throughout the reception. In fact, our bar bill was higher than our food bill. Fun times! :)
