Something About Nothing ... #12

[BagOLaughs]

Loving the orlando pictures!! Lovely picture of you both in the magic Kingdom. And those rooms look amazing! I admit I don't know what they looked like before but to me, the pictures look very opulent!

It's a bright but cold morning here. Put my bins out for collection for the 1st time last night. Haha, the small things.

Rachel, I'm glad you have finally got decent neighbours.........bad ones can so affect your life negatively. And enjoy the garden.........will be lovely after not having one.........

Mac........glad you made it home safe and sound...........

Marci........what a lovely picture.......hope you had lovely time together......


Tuesday.

 

[Kivara]

Hope everyone is well I haven't made it through all the posts yet.

Marci - lovely picture, have a great time

Mac- glad you made it home safely

TinyD- that bathroom shutter window is obviously a pizza-pass-through. For when you are soaking in the tub & the pizza finally shows up, your family can pass a slice to you

Happy Tuesday Homies!

BagO, so nice you have a garden to enjoy when the weather is cooperating. Sounds like you've moved to a lovely neighborhood.

Kivara - don't give my kids ideas! It's bad enough they've been caught lounging in the bath with their Ipads.

Mac - I hope you are feeling better today. Thankfully your hospital visit was short. That virus really runs down a body. Give those kitties a hug.

Schumi - hope you have a nice afternoon.

TinyD - glad to hear you made it home safely, even though you took twice as long as normal. We have accidents around town all the time. There's a reason I76 is called the Skook Killer Expressway. There's a curve in the road, near the entrance to I95, that is the same grade as a race track turn. So many trucks don't understand the need to slow down around a curve. My DS is getting his driver's license soon. I'll make sure he practices on all our crazy streets. We tend to have fast, impatient drivers. PC, you'd fit right in. LOL

And a funny (and no, I'm pretty sure they're not Mac's cats)

Cute kitties!

morning all!

looks like tuesdays are becoming come home to mom's and nosh day. if nothing else the price is right. I started kemmelwreks cooking yesterday. now to decide on the 'tater then back into trip replanning.

Hi monyk are you feeling better now?
Sure hope so

TinyD I like I 75
It's the only place where all can drive at 90 and not get pulled over for speeding
But I do not like the driving and traffic by Atlanta

Saw on the news about numerous accidents on I 75 today

welcome home. hmmm 90 mph and semi trucks might have something to do with rash of accidents, eeek

lynne hehe saran wrap

tinyd - thanx for the room pics. I honestly don't remember seeing the shutters lol. so many hotels have taken to the frosted glass as bathroom doors, you have to wonder what were they thinking with families.

Last time I got stuck there I had to squeeze my truck through the hole in the median guard rails! Patience is not one of my virtues. Drove back down south to micanopy and hit 441. Made the mistake of coming home on a Sunday after thanksgiving once. The turnpike into 75 at that time was a disaster. Glad you made it home safely!

I bet we passed each other. Was it 2014? It took us over 7 hours to get to Disney. We made the mistake of GOING to Disney the Sunday after. It was a fantastic week, but vacation should have started on Monday not Sunday.

Yes it was 2014, won't make the mistake again!

Haha, cats telling jokes. Is there anything better? Ohhhhhhhhhh, DS getting a license! Are you going to take him out in your car for practice?

It's actually quite sunny here this afternoon. Almost warm.... almost.

I'm looking at fridges on the Internet. There is so much choice! I know my upper budget but even then there is a lot of choice. Like usual I've made a pro and cons list for a few I've liked the look of. LG or BOSCH do you think?

Mom loves our Kitchenaid ones. She has a new one picked out for the new house... it's so fancy I think it even sorts your groceries for you (kidding.) I know you didn't mention KA, but... Our rental houses have all sorts of different ones. The only ones we say NO to are Frigidaire.

You doing side by side or bottom/top freezer?

 

[macraven]

Both of those two are good sellers and reliable products

 

[Lynne G]

BagO, I agree both brands sell well where I live. I have a french door one, and I like it more than the side by side one we had before it. And yes, DS gets to practice in my car. It's old, so I am not that worried. We will be getting him a used car soon though, as I need my car and so does my DH need his truck.

AP's went up today....

 

[buckeev]

AP's went up today....

#@!*

 

[tink1957]

AP's went up today....

Looked at the AP page and no increase in renewal rates so far...fingers and toes crossed as my pass is due for renewal in June.

It's been downright hot here today...had to turn on the ceiling fans

Happy Tuesday homies hope your week is going well.

 

[macraven]

Vicki 88 degrees is not hot
Wait until July for the fans

I'm told that is the hot month

I heard from a TM that AP would increase for new ones but did not hear it would happen for renewals

Time will tell if when that happens

I hate August. July Is hot but August is downright miserable. Didn't renewals just go up last fall and AP prices didn't? Maybe that was just the flex pay stuff.

 

[tinydancer09]

Here's the increase in case anyone was curious:
Florida Resident Annual Pass increase
Power Pass: $214.99 -> $234.99 (9.3%)
Preferred Pass: $299.99 -> $309.99 (3.3%)
Premier Pass: $429.99 -> $444.99 (3.5%)

Non-FL Resident Annual Pass increase
Power Pass: $239.99 -> $259.99 (8.3%)
Preferred Pass: $334.99 -> $344.99 (3%)
Premier Pass: $479.99 -> $494.99 (3.1%)

I try not to complain too much. They have done A LOT in the parks lately and even more to come including the huge land acquisition and possibility of another park? Who knows. I remember when it took me less than a day to do both park through. It takes me a good 3 days now. I also think we're getting plastic passes back.. but that's just my own suspicion. and some intuition added in.

Heck....We'll spend a day & one/half in line for Butterbeer! (On that note...Does anybody else think there should be an "Express Pass" Line for Butterbeer purchases!)

 

[macraven]

The renewal rate will help drop those numbers
My AP was up for renewal but I did it early for $237? Something like that
And the figure I paid included taxes

I have seen a few posts here and there plastic could come back
Don't know it they will be like the ones they did back in 2002 with pictures like the one I have

Tyvek is icky
