I have no idea which member in our family she is talking about...Ah, I got it, it is our father!!
Unfortunately only one of us inherited his good genes!
And I don't know where I read it, but someone somewhere said something about a good joke about a lawyer from Germany????
I thought this is a good place to state that I would love to hear this joke!!

Magdalene you may be in trouble! 
On our Disney travel day, I wanted to make it easily to Orlando before the discount ticket office we like closed at 6:00pm, so we could get Matthew's Disney ticket. I had ordered AP vouchers for the rest of us that we would pick up at Guest Relations when we arrived at our first park! To make sure we had plenty of time for food/gas/potty breaks along the way my goal was to leave my Dad's house by 9:00am.
Did we leave early, late or right on time? Early
How long did it take Marv to pass DS21 with his GPS and take the lead for the rest of the drive to Orlando? You were nice, and gave him an hour.
Did we make it to our favorite Disney Discount ticket office before they closed at 6:00pm, or did we have to spend the extra bucks and buy DS21's ticket at the gate? I'll say you made it. No way you're ponying up the extra dough if you don't have to.
Our first night we stayed off-property. Which mode of Disney transportation did we take to finally arrive at the MK that night? You took the ferry from the TTC.
What was the very first ride Marv and DW rode after arriving at the MK? Marv really wanted to ride IASW, but DW convinced him to head for Buzz Lightyear instead.
How many pictures did Marv take of Tinkerbelle's flight during Wishes? Blurry ones? 2. Good ones? 0.
What drink did Marv and DW have at MK? (we each had the same thing) Dole Whip Float. Is there any other drink at MK?
Where did we meet DSs when it was time to leave to head back to the hotel? 9:00 p.m.
What color was the first monorail we rode the first night at MK? Red. But I'm writing that answer in a blue font, which feels weird.
What section of the parking lot did we park in? (by character name) Gaston's Discount U-Park-It Center, way in the back corner.
Good Luck!!! Thanks! Oh, I guess that wasn't a question.
Skimmer!
With those answers???what do i win
J/K Dan....... I didn't know you and Katharina had a third sibling????I have no idea which member in our family she is talking about...
Okay, on one hand sadly I don't know said joke. Glenn just said to not make any lawyer jokes with Magdalene around, so I was playing with his comment. On the other hand, happily I hope, I was just really giving a shout out to my good DISfriend across the pond!!!And I don't know where I read it, but someone somewhere said something about a good joke about a lawyer from Germany????

Not sure what you call that, but we call it Monkey Bread, and that is pretty much all we've ever used those dough balls for......
I think we have anotherKatharina,
Are you going to let her get away with this!
in our midst......

Okay, so now you're playing with ME!!! Maybe I need to take a few minutes and come up with one that fits..........Oh, I thought my assorted smileys behind my request for telling the joke was pretty obvious, but it looks like you missed that my comment was meant rather tongue in cheek!

Glad you guys didn't get caugt up or slowed down by any of the snow!! I know this is where the power cord plugs into this computer!!! And then I realize this isnt the power cord that goes to the laptop, but the power cord for an external disk drive we have at home.
Now how in the world am I going to keep the computer functioning long enough to keep my throngs of devoted followers on the DIS Boards 
updated on a regular basis during our trip to WDW without the ability to charge the battery??? I sweetly and politely explained he didnt pack the right one. 
DS18 walked in about that time and asked what we were talking about, and I told him Drew didnt pack the power cord to the computer. DS18 chimed in that it was in the bag because he had put it there. I love it when they rat themselves out like that. It makes parenting so much easier. So okay, while Im out tomorrow picking up the additional things we needed for our family get-together I need to add computer power cord to the list. 
Finally DW located a box that had a rechargeable shredder. This was one strange contraption that was a pain to try and figure out. I really didnt see my Mom purchasing such a thing, so apparently somebody must have given it to her as a gift. Since it had been in the box a while, we plugged it in to charge it up. While it was charging, I read the directions to try and figure out how to use it, which turned out to be just the opposite of what you would expect. 
After two attempts I had probably gotten about a third of the cheese shredded. About that time DW went in one of the drawers looking for something else, and guess what she finds???....a flat shredder! About two minutes later the cheese was all shredded.
The past few years my Dad has given me money to get presents for each of my family from him. The boys really couldnt think of anything they wanted, so we had decided to just give them the money to use for shopping when they got to Disney. DW had something in mind we needed for the house, so we took the money for the two of us, combined it and had gotten that. It came in a larger box, and we didnt want to take it down the road, and then have to keep up with it during the rest of our trip. I had already put it together and we were putting it to use, so we wrapped the empty box and opened it at my Dads so he could see what he got us! After that, he could throw the box away. 
We had presents for my Dad, and then of course we had to get something for the twins. My first stop was at the closest gas station with a canister vacuum so I could get all of the glitter out of the car. Plus Matt wanted some bottled water for the trip, so I ran in the store after deglittering the car and got the water. Next stop was for our breakfast biscuits and then back home so we could eat and hit the road. Everything was going smoothly so far. 
I set the bag in the seat and headed around to park when the bag fell over and out falls one of the biscuits, which of course falls out of the wrapper into the floor
Well, I wouldn't do this for everyone Liesa,
but I guess I will allow it!!! Thanks! Yeah, it ended up working out a whole lot better than I was originally worried about!Great TR so far.
It did make for a very pretty drive! I thought you were going to add a parking section at MK since I linked a picture earlier of the parking lot map that shows all the possibilities. At least you would have a one in about 15 chance to get it right.
With age comes wisdom, right Rosie???I wil stand by my GUESSES and not appeal to the Rules Committee !!
Got to spend a lot of time just talking with Dad, and doing a lot of listening! Even though I didn't get to see my sister and her family, them coming a little later probably worked really well since that spread out the time Dad got to spend with family around him!I hate it when my biscuits drop out of the bag!
Marv, I'm so glad you got some really great, quality time with your dad!! you're right, it's so much more about the people and the time spent than about the gifts. But I have to ask! What was in the big box for you and wifey?
UGH!! Power cord drama!! hate that too!! Something we must have in common! I always have power cord drama, or battery issues.
I have a salad shooter for grating up cheese (I'm about to use if for pizza right now), but it's not re-chargable. And youre' right, if the cheese is too soft they do clog up. The cheese has to be pretty hard like an aged cheddar for it to work well. Oh, and cold. Also works FABULOUSLY for carrots for slaw! and for taters for scalloped jobbies.
They recommend you hold it at a higher angle when using (so why not just design it that way). You hold the block of cheese (or whatever) against the end and the small shredder part moves back and forth to do the shredding. Nothing came out of the end of this thing unless I tapped on it, or pushed it out with the knife.

As for the present, no biggie! We are trying to get some things organized around the house and free up some space at the same time. This was a laundry center that had sections to separate clothes for washing, and a rack above for hanging clothes up when they are done!
Salad shooters are great. This was a rather small device. It was angled slightly and had an area underneath so whatever you're shredding is supposed to slide down and out the bottom end. Not a very large area, and then there was a support post or something right in the middle, which blocks part of the opening???
With age comes wisdom, right Rosie???

It is real difficult anymore to make everyone comfortable at bedtime with just our few. I can't imagine 21!
This thing isn't much bigger than a good sized chunk of cheese. And PITA is a very good description.
Give me an old fashioned grater any day!Well........If age is a key factor in WISDOM I am a GENIUS!!!!
