View attachment 182819 Random chicken picture daughter sent me. She was checking her hen out as she's been acting touchy lately

@Lynne G - we always do as early of flights as we can get - well within reason when I do the booking. DH did the booking for Portland and our flight LEFT at 5 am!!! I am all for getting there early but sheesh! OTOH we did get to have a great part of the day ahead of us. He did the same for coming home-8 am flight but we were at SKamania lodge a good 45 minutes away so another very early morning to catch shuttle to airport. When I could finally sleep in slept for 12 hours!

Need pics of the new and -hopefully-finished Disney springs from ya'll when you go. Miss Pleasure Island...

Our city is considering allowing us city dwellers to raise chickens... I AM DYING! Silky chicks as far as the eye can see!

That sounds delicious! What is the name of the coffee maker?

I have no idea, lol. I know Starbucks will make the dirty chai, that's the first place I had one.

 

[macraven]

To perry steen our newest homie

We love you stopped in and hope you hang with us more

You will never know if Robbie will remember the name of the coffee maker.....


So stick with us in case he does

Nice chicken picture MonyK. Some day I will try to get one of the neighbor's ones. The big girl likes to chase the squirrels that get into the coop.

Buggy night soccer game. Now I have a headache. Ready for bed, and DD is hungry. Didn't like my left over steak. Cooked just right, medium rare. Oh well, she will get into something. Have to kick her off her iPad, I need quiet soon. Also going to kick the older one off the TV. He needs to end his game. Too noisy too.

Ahh, so have a good night.

 

[RAPstar]

This is pretty much it. I don't know if they're cheaper, or if my company would actually pay for a $3000 coffee maker, but I mean, that's what it looks like

Little bit cooler today, but still in the 80`s which is good enough.........

Bought 2 portable air conditioning units yesterday.......unbelievably the woman seemed to be trying to talk us out of buying them......told her not to worry it was our money to spend!!! Weirdest sales pitch ever..........certainly helped us sleep better last night........

No real plans today, got a friend coming to visit tonight, haven't seen her since before I went to NY.........be nice to catch up. So, will do some baking this afternoon I think........if it doesn't get too much hotter!

Have a great Thursday.........

Pixie Dust for Tink & her booking! I was on the phone @ 7 am. At first was told it wasn't book able yet again. Instructed her to go in under Products/F&W. The 5th was solidly booked but I did snag the 12th. Decided to book a beverage seminar afterwards. Called back and recording said an 83 minute wait. No thank you.

I was up early tossing stuff in suitcase for DS, he & swarm of buddies are road-tripping to Myrtle Beach, in one of my cars. Wheeee

Robo - thanks, yes middle DS is regrouping nicely with the new antibiotics. From what I can tell it's minimal scarring. Goes back to dr today for recheck. Believe he will really have to watch being out in sun going forward.

Carole - bizarre, going to guess the clerk wasn't working on commission. I have friends with central AC who have window units in their bedrooms to get that really icy cool thing going vs using all the energy for whole house.

Andy - a dirty chai just sounds wrong, on different levels haha. Meant to ask, FB crossover. Am I tripping or did I see a pic of u with Alan Cummings?!? He has an upcoming show here-think of the cabaret type? But naturally the last day of our Oct trip wah.

Mac SWA cancelled over 700 flights last evening over computer issues. Still some issues at Orlando today. Perhaps some will post their personal experiences on transportation thread here? You know how I roll...2 hr delay for equipment issues and I'm @ the desk asking for compensation . Wondering if they are going to do the right thing for everyone who was stuck or try to deem it an act of God ala weather issues. Not about to plow thru that contract of carriage to try and figure it out.

Good morning homies

Happy happy day...got up at the crack of dawn to book my Trader Sam's special and got it after only a 20 minute wait

Wish I could go back to sleep but I'm too excited

Hope keisha was able to get it too.

 

[Lynne G]

Yea, on the news Last night, so many SW flights cancelled. Last year, remember when they were having computer issues. That was the day I was flying down. Thankfully or with luck, I had printed out my boarding pass right before the kiosk crashed. So, when I got to the gate, anyone who did not have an airport generated boarding pass had to stand in this really long line to get hand written ones. At least our flight took off about 1/2 hour after scheduled. Those cancelled flights suck.

HeHe, all done. Glad to hear your got your TS ressie Tink. Nice work with that small wait. Seeing others post on hold for over an hour.

Kiesha, how'd you fare? Hope you got TS ressie too.

and have a great Thursday!

 

[Monykalyn]

Love the wake up minions/Thursday minions! DH up and out early to get to a show. Of course I am awake but too tired to get up right away-finally crawl out of bed to get coffee and find the lil guy camped out on living room floor. He's sound asleep so not sure what that is about.
Keisha-safe travels for your big kid, and yay to burn being better!

and congrats on getting those reservations several of you were pursuing! I remember the thrill of sweet victory last year when I snagged all our Star Wars Weekends special events/parties/fastpasses we (well, lets face it, I wanted-rest of family was along for ride) Who knew finding new ways to spend outrageous sums of money could be so fun? That mixology thing at TS sounds like lots and lots of fun! I wonder how hard it is to get to be a Disney CM who take those reservations? I swear the people on these boards know so much more than many cast members-had to walk them through booking Galactic breakfast last year and for adding the kids to my Orbitz booked reservation. Is it a work from home thing??....

Suppose I should be getting ready. First cup of coffee down. Have to shop for weekend float trip after work-Heat advisory through weekend here. Thank heavens we are renting cabins this year instead of tent camping...

TTFN!

Yepper!!! On the 12th.

I'm wired, we should meet for coffee lol. I'll bring the bailey's.

Haven't booked an eat to the beat pkg in over a decade, but don't want to miss out on Blues Travelers. Have seen in concert in past, sounded great. Went with Biergarten as it seems to be best value for lunch. never eaten there as I thought DH would starve, but i do see roast chicken. My German hates German food...moron...I mean oxymoron.

Mac u like that joint don't you? Need a mini review please! Does the oompah band ever show up for lunch? Is the pork ham "ham" or is is more of a fresh, pork roast (which he won't touch). Salads on menu but 'funny' type as he would put it. Hoping for generic salad offering. Would think they have good bread options.

 

[macraven]

Came back to add this was I how I felt over the SW cancellation

 

[Lynne G]

So awful for all those with cancelled flights.

Had to change too. I thought maybe Mac was referring to the hunt for ressies.
that we got our signals crossed. See, I need more food Mac.

The band plays at different schedules times

I make my ressie for 45 minutes before thei show
This way I can graze and just eat desserts when they are on

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha, we ate at the German place once, with my kids. I booked a late lunch, because was much cheaper than dinner. They did have the band playing, and we had a nice couple at our table. DS and I ate fine, but I like most German food, and so does DS. DD, well, picky little one, did eat, but not the amount I would have expected for a buffet. Oh well. I think you will be fine with finding something to eat. The beer came in very large glasses, that we all got a kick out of.

Oh my, we will be record breaking temperatures for the week-end. Over 100 degrees, and oh so nice humidity to make that 100 plus feel even worse. Soccer games were moved to later in the day, but I don't think the weather will be much better. I'm going to pack a thermos and hope for the best. Need to google if there are any food places near, I can hit in between games.

I get to watch Blues Traveler. Shameful thing, I actually think I remember their hit song. I didn't book any Beats meals. No matter, at least I get a reserved seat, via that D23 package I booked. Looked at D23 online the other day, and that package is already sold out. I am expecting lots of peeps. Only part of the package I am most tickled about is The Chew. I hope I get a decent seat. Being short has some disadvantages.

Food please? That breakfast of pie and tea is not doing the trick.

Power pass black out dates have been lifted... Just so you all know for informative reasons.

I'm melting... Just for gone loading the car. Not sure why I straightened my hair as I have to swim through the air outside. Taking the dog out and then hitting the road
Lots of shopping to do before I make it down to the beach tonight. The list keeps growing and my civic doesn't.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Soooo sick of this heat . Triple digits for at least the next two weeks with swampy humidity. I may just stand in the pool and not come out til nightfall!

Yikes those airline cancelations stink!

Happy planning to every one scoring the rescues and dates they want!
