Something About Nothing............ #14

[Charade67]

I’ve been tempted on the few long layovers we had @ ATL to try to visit the coke museum there, never worked out. Have you been?

I’ve been a few times. It’s kind of like a giant Coke advertisement, but I like it. You can sample Coca-Cola flavors from all over the world. The gift shop is pretty nice too.

Ooh, that is an intricate one. I’m curious, looks like a steering wheel cover around your piece.

Good eye. It helps protect the piece while you are working on it. You can buy “grime guards” on Etsy in a variety of patterns, but a cheap steering wheel cover from Dollar Tree works just as well.

Has anyone sampled the Agatha show on Disney+ yet? Have heard mixed reviews.

It looks a little too dark and intense for my taste.

Quick late night stop in!

Busy day today. House is tidied once again. I cleaned up the last of my flowerpots and harvested the last 4 grow bags of potatoes. I got quite a few. Not nearly like last year. There are lots of small potatoes- and not many big ones. They just didn't get very big. Most the size of "The little Potato " potatoes. Oh well.

I toss a roast in the crockpot along with a few handfuls of my newly harvested small potatoes, and then some green beans the last hour. It was highly requested to make that again.

It was a cool, crisp fall day. It was finally warm late this afternoon - but definitely crisp and cool. I think the forecast of much of the same for tomorrow.

I’m going to continue to do stitching today. Dh turned on a football game and promptly fell asleep.
B is working on a project for school. She is only taking one class but already stressing over it.

Tomorrow I'll be trying to whip up some drawstring backpacks for the boys to wear at the park. I am NOT going to be the pack mule for everyone

Sounds like B will have an amazing semester - since her first assignment went so well. What a great accomplishment for her on that project.

Is that a real thing? I’m seriously trying to interpret exactly what it is supposed to cover? Memorial sort of day?

It is. It is to "knowledge, and reflect for all Our First Nations people who didn't come home from the residential schools" And also to acknowledge all our First Nations children - with "Every Child Matters". We wear orange shirts if we can to participate and show our support to our Native/Indigenous people.

I think I'm going to check out Etsy for some cute spreadsheets just to keep all the rides / restaurants/ snacks we want to try. I think I also need to print off some paper maps and mark off some of those choices. I don't want us to get so overwhelmed and forget something we wanted to do - especially since this is our ds's first time at any of the parks!

Well, I will get going. I will leave a light on for anyone wandering in during those dark early morning hours.

 

[schumigirl]

I love that they do that whenever a cast member passes.


Great to hear.

Well, I’m bummed. The football game has been cancelled, so no trip to NC for us. The owner of the motel we were going to stay at called me this morning to see if I wanted to reschedule. The game won’t be rescheduled, but I think we will reschedule the hotel stay anyway just for a little getaway. The problem is finding a weekend where dh and I are free and the motel has vacancy.

Since the whole weekend has been canceled I will spend it working on my cross stitch. Here is a sneak peek at what I am working on. It will probably take me at least a year to finish. I’m not quite 1/3 complete.

That wouldn’t be from a very lovely classic movie would it?

Looks lovely indeed.

After the storm. (The picture does not do it justice.)

That is a very nice picture, I agree, pictures don’t always show how impressive the actual scene was.

I’ve been tempted on the few long layovers we had @ ATL to try to visit the coke museum there, never worked out. Have you been?

The mr is the pop drinker, he’s a Pepsi man. Annoyed major Orlando parks have Coke contracts. I rarely drink either, prefer coke but, am more of a Mt Dew gal if push comes to shove. now I grab diet which is the only diet soda I can manage as to taste.



Same here, rarely anything frozen, fried or breaded. I do boneless breasts, lean chops & steak, fish, shrimp, etc. on it as low fat and it just tastes better to me grilled vs sautéed

Otherwise, it’s usually oven, instapot or airfryer. Do love my toys lol

Is that a real thing? I’m seriously trying to interpret exactly what it is supposed to cover? Memorial sort of day?

Ooh, that is an intricate one. I’m curious, looks like a steering wheel cover around your piece. Have never seen that before…what a good idea, it can be sharp on the ends and start to separate if it sits for me.

One of my kids having a lousy week, girl friend issues. To brighten his spirits made him dinner of old childhood favorites I haven’t whipped up in ages. Broccoli (i put dried cranberries in mine to be “healthy” lol) & ham salad to go on some nice Italian bread.

The sort of food if one ate on regular basis would likely have high cholesterol or a stroke. Between the cheddar cheese, 1/2 # bacon & mayo based dressing, don’t even want to know the calorie content. A splurge every now & then is ok in my book. Can’t wait to see the look on his face when he sees it.View attachment 898760
Off to figure out what football games are interesting to watch tonight.

Has anyone sampled the Agatha show on Disney+ yet? Have heard mixed reviews.

We tried recent civil war last night (not avengers one), awful. Turned it off after 20 minutes.

Did finally watch A Quiet Place, Day One…two thumbs up there, think better than the first two ones.

Tom like Mt Dew and weirdly Dr Pepper??? I like full fat coke and Diet Pepsi but found Pepsi easily everywhere here offsite. Although what the heck is that root beer all about! Tastes medicinal and not nice!

I agree, it’s so easy to eat light when appetites are not the same. My mum is the same, everything fresh and barely uses a canned product of anything, I’m glad as they’re all filled with salt and additives.

That dish looks lovely Janet, I do add cranberries to most salads as we love them, especially the sweet potato salad we had for Thanksgiving last year here in the Club Lounge, it was gorgeous! Minus the kale of course!

We’re going to give the Agatha thing a try when we get home, haven’t heard any reviews on it so far, so will see what we think, sounds like something we might enjoy.

Glad of the light this morning pumpkin, up again far too early, I’m always amazed how dark it stays so late in the mornings here!

I love roasting off little potatoes whole in garlic and Rosemary, they’re always popular.

I forgot it was your boys first trip, yep, don’t miss anything out for them!






Still a happy lizard! Hot hot hot.

It’s been so lovely this trip, weather has been incredible, we’ve managed to catch up with some friends and just enjoy not doing very much. I’m quite sad to say I’m glad we’re not doing HHN anymore, so many negative reviews from anyone we’ve spoken to about it.

No idea what we’re doing today yet, but think St Augustine is in our plans this week sometime, shopping and more oysters for sure!

Trying to decide if we go for the buffet breakfast this morning, or just got to club lounge as usual and go have a brunch later…..that’s our biggest decision today!

Have a lovely Sunday

 

[Charade67]

That wouldn’t be from a very lovely classic movie would it?

Looks lovely indeed.

Thank you. To which movie are you referring? I bought the pattern from Etsy. It’s called Gothic Fairytale, but I have been calling it Gothic Nightmare due to all of the confetti stitches. (Lots of single, spaced out stitches of one color.)

That cross stitch is beautiful Charade. I am still going to post my Christmas trio. I just keep forgetting it??

Thank you. Please post yours.


I have some weirdness going on with the post office. I ordered some cross stitch fabric from a company online. According to the tracking, it arrived at the post office in my town early yesterday morning. About an hour later it was showing at a post office about 33 miles north of me. This afternoon it is in a city about 44 miles west of me. I’m curious to see where it goes next.

 

[macraven]

Charade, hope your package arrives Monday.

 

[keishashadow]

Busy day


the Mr did the honors of grilling the tbonz, in the steady rain today. It's our turn, stuck in the circling bands

We’re going to give the Agatha thing a try when we get home, haven’t heard any reviews on it so far, so will see what we think, sounds like something we might enjoy.

It's sort of a prequel & a sequel to
Wanda vision & Dr strange 2...welcome to the MCU lol

Supposedly, it can be enjoyed as a stand alone entity.

Reviews are definitely mixed

TWD Darryl/carole starts tonight

After last episode of FX grotesquiere, IDK if I can stomach it. A bit much

 

[Robo56]

Good evening everyone

I can’t wait to be back in the vacation bubble again.

Yes, it is always nice to get back to vacation. Then home to think about the next vacation.

Glad you had a nice trip Robbie and hope your husband did well on the tests, hopefully back surgery will be an option for him.

We did have a nice trip Carole. Thank you.

Looks like you and Tom are having a nice time. Always good to have a nice relaxing vacation.

I like your new hair cut.

The fear of God (nee parents) was what kept most of my peers in line.

I know,

Time to start planning the next trip. Actually, I usually find myself doing a bit of it when on most trips (as to checking rates, availability lol)

I’am thinking on the next one.

I’ve been in that demographic for ahem longer than I care to remember. Actually, it really doesn’t bother me one bit as I know 30 y.o.’s that act like they are in the 70’s.

I kept thinking I was not doing bad when I saw the young ones I was guessing in their 20’s dropping like flies to rest halfway back from the Goblins and Eternal Bloodlines Houses. It was a bit of a trek for sure.

DH called, and he’s feeling better. I think almost everyone in his unit got the virus. Got an update from his team, yesterday afternoon, and while he’ll need support when he comes home, the date he gets out is still as planned, as of yesterday. So we get training a few days before his release date. Life will certainly be different, but this too will be our new normal before you know it.

Glad to hear your hubby is doing better.

Just heard the news about Maggie Smith.

So sad to hear of her passing what a wonderful actress. She was wonderful as Professor Minerva McGonagall. Also loved her in Downton.
Abbey.

May she rest in peace.




Ruth so good to hear your back is healed up.


Pumpkin your trip will be here before you know it.


Been busy for past few days. Hubby’s brother and his wife were in for a visit.

Hubby was cleared by Cardiology for surgery so we are waiting to hear from the surgeons office on possible dates.

I had a wonderful day with little J on Friday it was his actual birthday he turned 5, We did all the fun things he likes to do. Breakfast out to restaurant that serves Mickey pancakes. Then to Target for a new vehicle purchase. Then Mall to ride the toys and Carosel. Then a visit to build a Bear and a Bens Soft Pretzel. We had the best time. His big birthday day celebration will be soon.




Yesterday my sister K texted and asked if I wanted to go to the 4H craft Fair so we went and had a nice time. We did find a couple fun Halloween things to buy. It was raining on and off, but that did not matter we walked on looking at things.

We did get some of the rain and winds that came in from the Hurricane on Friday. Very mild in comparison to other States affected. It is always a wonder how a weather system that far away can travel such distance. I saw videos of the poor folks in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.

Lots of prayers going out for all who have been touched by the Hurricaine. I hope the Sans family are ok?

Trying to get caught with everything since I returned home from vacation. Should settle down a little now.

We went for Chinese food this evening to a local favorite restaurant. The youngman and his wife who own the restaurant are so sweet and kind. We had not been in for awhile and it was so nice to see them and catch up. The Food there is wonderful.

Going to go and work on the trip report a little then off to bed.

Have a wonderful rest of the evening everyone.

Then a visit to build a Bear

I miss build a bear, it’s been some time since I’ve “helped”. Have to laugh, there are still several here in spare bedroom on top of an armoire, patiently sitting in their cardboard houses.

lol….your mister is a star!

Never seen wanda vision and I know Dr Strange wasn’t my cup of tea, so now I’m not sure if I’ll enjoy it or not, but will give it a bash!

They’re still making WD episodes???? With just those two?? I need to keep up, but we stopped watching WD several years ago, I think when Negan came into it!!

Good evening everyone

Yep, we are having the most relaxing time here, it’s so lovely catching up with friends from here too and the weather has been so lovely!

Glad your husband got the all clear for surgery, always a concern of course, but if something needs doing and I’m sure he’ll be in the best hands.




Awoke to the email from VA asking to make our meal selections for our flight next week,,…..nothing like reminding you we have a week left in our trip lol…..

Said goodbye to a lovely young man we’ve known for several years yesterday, although he’s leaving the hotel he’s still with Loews and not leaving the area, so we’ll see him next trip at some point. He’s making a good career move though. He was one of the amazing team in the Club Lounge on our May/September 2022 trips. That team were wonderful together.

Then headed to Citywalk last night, wasn’t too busy which was lovely.

Thinking maybe some park time today and maybe get an Uber for dinner tonight somewhere……nice decisions to make today!

Happy Monday!

 

[Robo56]

Great news, hope you hear soon.

He is ready to get it over with. He has been in pain to long.

I miss build a bear, it’s been some time since I’ve “helped”. Have to laugh, there are still several here in spare bedroom on top of an armoire, patiently sitting in their cardboard houses.

It is a nice store for the little ones to pick out a stuffed animal and help with getting it put together. Little J likes to go in there every once in awhile.

Yep, we are having the most relaxing time here, it’s so lovely catching up with friends from here too and the weather has been so lovely!

Good to hear your trip has been nice so far. Enjoy the weather and friends.

Glad your husband got the all clear for surgery, always a concern of course, but if something needs doing and I’m sure he’ll be in the best hands.

He is ready to feel better for sure.

 

[keishashadow]

Oy

We've done one night DVC stays where we receive a hearty welcome home, followed by a check out reminder in the same hour. Buzz kill

This is wild

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Quick Monday stop in!!! The sun is brightly shinning today - with cool crisp breeze. So far - it's bright blue skies.

Enjoying my morning all by myself in the house. I'm the only one with the day off - since it's just a government holiday, not a stat holiday.

I brought my suitcase up and have started adding some items. I have am freshening up some of the items I wanted to pack . I have a small list of items I want to pick up today as well for things we may need.

I can't decide what to whip up for dinner tonight. I have a few ideas, as well as I took stock of what was in the pantry and freezers. I am trying to use up all that is left in the fridge. Poor son-on-law, he may need to go pick up a few things while he's here or he will be skipping the dishes lol.

Good news- the kids have accepted an offer on their home. They had multiple offers, and picked one with a tight timeline. It sounds like the plan is once we get home from Florida - gd will be coming here to stay here, so dd can pack up what's left at the house. Son-in-law will take gd to daycare (she already has a spot at one) and I will be able to pick her up when I'm done work until dad gets back from work.

Still a happy lizard! Hot hot hot.

I had a similar experience with a fed-ex package. It took almost a full extra week to be delivered.

TWD Darryl/carole starts tonight

I seen that!!!! I might need to watch that. I loved both their characters - and loved the series the first few seasons. Then it just got too weird and I stopped.

Hubby was cleared by Cardiology for surgery so we are waiting to hear from the surgeons office on possible dates.

I had a wonderful day with little J on Friday it was his actual birthday he turned 5,

It's great your dh was cleared for surgery.

Awwwww, Little J is 5!!!! That's a big milestone. Build a bear is an amazing place. We could never afford to take dd there when she was little - since then - we have bought several for her and gd I tried to make it up to dd as a teenager/adult.

Thinking maybe some park time today and maybe get an Uber for dinner tonight somewhere……nice decisions to make today!

Sounds like perfect decisions to make while on vacation!!!!

This is wild

Wow Some of the devastation we have seen makes my heart so sad. I am still trying to see how much damage Tampa/Clearwater received. We were planning one day in that area. We will play that by ear.

Well, I should hit the shower so I can head out to pick up those few items I am needing.

Have a great day everyone.

 

[Charade67]

Quick post before going to bed. Today was a crazy day. My boss is out with Covid, so I spent a good portion of the day canceling or rescheduling appointments.

Charade, hope your package arrives Monday.

It did arrive today after a brief tour of central Virginia.

Hubby was cleared by Cardiology for surgery so we are waiting to hear from the surgeons office on possible dates.

Hope all goes well.

I had a wonderful day with little J on Friday it was his actual birthday he turned 5

Happy belated birthday to him.

Never seen wanda vision

It’s a rather odd show. I don’t think it will make much sense if you haven't followed the rest of the MCU.

This is wild

I think that is actually a picture from the flooding of 2009. My first elementary school was destroyed in that flood.

Good news- the kids have accepted an offer on their home.

Congratulations to them.

I brought my suitcase up and have started adding some items.

How exciting. It’s getting so close. I just ordered a new Scooby Doo shirt for my trip.

It’s getting late and I have to get up early tomorrow for bloodwork. One of my least favorite things to do.

 

[macraven]

Getting close to noon….

What’s for lunch today?

 

[Pumpkin1172]

quick Taco Tuesday stop in!!!

Busy day on the unit. Thank goodness the casual gal is here. It has given me a chance to catch up on some other work that needed catching up on.

Cold, windy, rainy day here. No wonder my head feels wonky. When I woke up and looked outside, I instantly knew why. I just about called in sick - but pushed through. I still have a fuzzy head - but working through it. Again, thank goodness for my casual gal who is working. She takes the stress off of me having to pivot in a gazillion different directions all at once.




Have a great day everyone!!!!

 

[macraven]

Really hope you feel better real soon Pumpkin

 

[schumigirl]

I'll just say I heard this over and over again from the employees. That include VIP tour guides and just regular front line employees. Some were in line waiting for houses and I just over heard their conversations. Some were just chatting over a drink in a bar pre HHN. There were also little things I saw that make me think this is true in the parks in general.

Yes they may be separate budgets, that is not anything unusual, but that does not mean they were given the equivalent of what they got in the past.
Talking in depth with someone about the lack of SAs in houses I was told that Insidious was the only house to get a "budget" this year and that is why they pretty much have a full cast (someone mentioned they are actually down two folks from the start and were calling folks in - I think they have to have a full cast as part of the agreement for the IP - dont recall if that was on hear of one of the folks I spoke too - I think it was a VIP guide)

All that said - if Epic goes they way we think then we should see some pretty exciting changes over the years - I still don't think HHN will ever be what it was though.




For those that might be Interested I've mentioned these videos before and they are worth a watch if people really want to understand what was lost.

For me HHN28 is probably the last good year, but not as good as previous years. Interesting that is the year of Stranger Things.
After that you had lots of high and lows in my opinion.
At the end of the day the best house this year is just a rehash of a house from HHN25.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udk1UcwHt9U

HHN29 was the year of graveyard games and they made good use of peoples phones for the backstory. This lead to more use of social media and podcasts to tell the story so you have to do homework before the event.
This mean for me this is the last year I feel they put crazy details into the houses. What I mean by that is ridiculously detailed houses where you would not even see stuff unless you did the behind the scenes tour. Yeah there is still some of that today - but nothing like it was before this. Its a small thing for most people, but for me its part of what I really liked about HHN and doing multiple nights and the behind the scenes tour.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGctPfcuwa8

Obviously we skipped a year and the world changed a bit. I guess at this point you have PRE Pandemic HHN and Post Pandemic.
IMO post pandemic is more geared to folks that go to the event once and become a shadow of what it was.
Yeah Jack was great no doubt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLW5l6W3OdQ

I skipped HHN21 do to a death in the family. It looks like a very below average year and many of the folks in this forum said the same thing. I'm pretty sure that is also the year several of them stopped attending.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUQl9FS8EVA

HHN32 and 33 were not great IMO.
Ill probable go to 34 because of Epic and Ill do the premium night if available and a couple of nights with ROF and skip express - I don't think Ill do the 10 nights I did this year..
Of course 35 since its an anniversary year - but that may be my cutoff for HHN - we will see.
One of my big regrets is I did not go the first few years even though I was at Universal as a day guest.

Anyway these videos are well worth a watch - he also has a lot of good videos on the history of numerous theme parks.
I also found out well watching his video on the Flintstones theme parks that he the SO of Super Enthused - so if you know Sam(?) from those videos that is him. Just interesting since I had no idea.

We were having a morning shopping in the Mall at Millenia, had a hankering for Charleys Philly Cheesesteaks washed down with a Johnny Rocket strawberry milkshake……lush!!




Guess what the weather is……..

Yep, hot and loving it……

Thinking of going and doing some water rides for an hour, then decide where to eat dinner tonight.

Managed to get a few Christmas presents today too, more than I thought I would, so, very happy with the shopping morning!

Still having decent weather with the ac still on.
