Schumi
I am done for the day for doing anything productive
The new crown should be ready in two weeks

Obviously, I am spending my children‘s inheritance as we don’t have dental insurance

lol...........I think they`d prefer you to be happy with your teeth......

Yep, rest up nicely......

We had a dog. He went to the doggy rainbow a year and a half ago.
It felt good to have a poochie again in the house, but I / We LOVE our freedom of being able to go places and not have to worry about getting home for the dog or about kenneling or finding someone to watch while we go away.

It's funny that he didn't like me. Most animals LOVE me. They gravitate to me, and even dogs who can be snappy with strangers etc etc they love me. Scooter - did not!!!! The last few years he would hop up for pets from me...but at the house this week...he couldn't WAIT for me to sit down so he could come up. Such a strange little guy.

I wasn`t sure, I can get mixed up with folks.....lol......

Yes, one of the many reasons we don`t have a dog.....we`d have no one to look after it, although I know several friends would take a dog as they have loads of room too. But, to be honest, we`re too lazy.......I do enjoy walking my friends dogs and petting them, but won`t ever have one.

I remember one of my cousins in NY, they had 3 dogs and this little yappy snarly thing took to me, and they all watched in amazement as it always came and sat beside me and wanted petted.......cute little thing that really did growl at everyone else.



Interesting to see Undercover Tourist is now a Dis sponsor......never saw that one coming.

Dinner over, it was very nice, maple syrup wasn`t too overwhelming in the sauce, would have been maybe too sweet but for the addition of some hot smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and the bacon I wrapped the chicken in, added a little salt as an alternate flavour.

Time for tea and a slice of the Victoria sponge my lovely friend left us........

Love the Ale house Nashville Chicken........it is hot!

Pics are lovely....glad you`re having such a nice and relaxing time there........and yes, stay out of that pool....far too cold!!

 

[soniam]

I wish they had some places that had a no kid policy all day too.......I think we`d visit during the day if we do go there.

We have few places here that have a no kid policy, and they are brilliant. Nothing wrong with kids, but sometimes, it`s nice to have an adult only restaurant.

I hear ya. I have one so that I don't have to deal with other people's Celebrity cruises usually don't have many kids on them. However, Virgin cruises are adult only. I want to try one of those, but they are only 7 nights right now.

I might do Sapphire Falls again. I really liked that hotel. I discovered last year that I didn’t need the express pass, so I probably won’t be staying at any of the top 3 resorts.

I want to stay there, but we like EP and DH and DS always want to stay at Hard Rock.

After 3 hours of dental work done today, finally back home
One more session to finish the work later this month.

sedation dentistry is the only way I can do it

totally wiped out now that I’m back home.

Take it easy and just rest. Sounds unpleasant.

Well, bad teeth can cause all sorts of expensive health care issues, so maybe it's a wash or better to get the dental care. You can tell them that you are saving them money though.

I read about that fire/smoke. It shut down Space Mountain. Oh, so you got stuck in that. Bummer. Food looks good. I have been wanting to hit the beer place. Maybe I can convince DS to eat the pretzel; he loves big German pretzels. Steakhouse 71 sounds great. I need to try to go there, maybe on an MK day. Temps don't sound great, but I guess it could be worse.

 

[schumigirl]

Ever slept great and still woke up feeling like an extra from The Walking Dead! Yep, went to bed early last night and think I slept too long, woke up at 5.30 and felt like I never slept a wink.....I did though.

Made a pot of tea and slowly came to life........I still have all the low lighting on in the kitchen, not ready for brighter lights yet. Not quite sure of our plans for the day yet......will decide after we`ve had breakfast, not time to eat yet, far too early. Feel like croissants....then I`ll have a look at the weather for the day ahead. Not sure if it`s a lunching out Wednesday or not, will catch up with others later.

Fair few weeks of winter left yet.......still so dark this early in the morning.

Happy Wednesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, a wonderful Wednesday is here.

Enjoying the live reports Keisha. Sorry to hear of getting stuck on a ride, and yum, the food pictures. We like the German restaurant. Both my kids took German language in school, so they did enjoy listening, as much a the food. With was a buffet, there’s always at least enough to make me full enough. Liked the pretzel from the quick service part of it too. But that was years ago. Neither kid wants to visit the mouse any time soon, including the SW geek older one. Maybe one of these days, a short 4 or 5 day, and see if we can get a military rate or other that makes it worth going if they request. I may be doing some mouse before the dark side this September. Still seeing if the rates are ones I want to lock in.

I agree Schumi, very dark here now too. Mostly clear and 24 degrees out. As that cold air is still hanging around, the sky will show us the sun all day. And a warmer day, 50 degrees is the high. So while still be wearing my lightweight winter jacket, that lunchtime walk will be with sunglasses too. For February, it’s a nice day. And that cool, and rainy I see in the South. Saw VB was closed for weather yesterday, and probably will be today too. Yeah. Doubt we’d enjoy the pool when temps in the 50’s, but have been to Aquadica and VB when the temps were in the 60’s. Just got lots of towels, and low crowds.

And so, had a very good sleep, and back to that early routine. Tea being enjoyed, and happy it’s already Wednesday.

So homies, get over this hump feeling of a day, and that oh so nice Friday feeling will be here. Still thinking my Friday should be on the lazy side. Scheduled at least. Yay!

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all. Here are yak & yeti St. Louis/Korean BBQ fall off the bone ribs (that’s a mouthful lol) that talked to me all night. Mr loves the sweet & sour chicken that isn’t that bottled glop sort. I really didn’t want to haul down to AK just for dinner in heavy rain. Glad we did, only did the greatly abbreviated lion king show

Have seen some posted they have booked with the September dates that gave them discounts

I priced out many different sept dates/lengths covering once HHN begins. Didn’t see one savvy traveler rate pop up. I did see somebody post they snagged a very low rate at RP end of month. Go figure

Celebrity cruises

We only did one. really liked their all inclusive drink pkg. food was a notch above too. We’d book again if itinerary matched our needs. On negative side, Entertainment was rather lacking. Crowd was of the walking dead sort lol. Probably because one of the longer southern Caribbean cruises

Maybe I can convince DS to eat the pretzel; he loves big German pretzels. Steakhouse 71 sounds great. I need to try to go there, maybe on an MK day. Temps don't sound great, but I guess it could be worse.

Oh, quite happy to just be here. I’m just a water dog. Yesterday, we each grabbed a MM pretzel from stand Wound up tossing them after a few bites

my kids took German language in school, so they did enjoy listening,

That was my youngest DS language too

Still seeing if the rates are ones I want to lock in.

I was shocked to grab a PH rate this trip pretax $95. Paid double that last go round. Our April dates were also high and nearly sold out. Considering switching to DTD hotel if I can catch a good rate They get the booking benefits too

Do u ever do SoG? We could only book sept or jan. Never any availability our dates

OMG!!!! Those ribs are amazing!!! And sweet and sour chicken......lush!!!

German was my language too....it helped having that gutteral Scottish accent so similar to a lot of German sounds, and having folks from there helped a bit too. Most took French when I went to school, so it was nice having a smaller class as very few opted for it back then. I think there were only 6 of us.

What`s a MM pretzel?

Hope you`re still having a blast.......





Didn`t get a walk, it`s just too cold, but did go out for some fresh produce to a farm shop in the middle of nowhere for a load of veg and salad for next few days, it was a nice drive out. One of the gang tried to get some of us together for lunch, but no one was taking her up today......shame as it is a beautiful day, just cold.

Stopped in to a fish shop before we went home in a town further along from us and got some salmon for dinner tonight, always goes down well here.

Enjoyed doing my Wordle of the day......yes, I`m addicted......got it in four attempts last two days, I`d prefer it took 3, but there you go.......shame it`s only one word a day, or maybe it`s a good thing!! I think every one of my friends are doing it now, and one is cursing me for introducing it to her. She`s so welcome......she might be a maths genius, but words are better.......lol.....

Afternoon pot of tea time........

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha, yes, we have stated over Christmas and other times at SOG over the years. Mostly when they let those those that stayed there, parking was free in the parks. We also walked over to the Poly or took Poly bus sometimes. Though will say, when we did use the shuttle service, they generally were on time. Rooms are big, and mostly always quiet, that last part l really like staying in military housing, as quiet kids are so nice to have.

Ack, time is dragging for some reason. DH got his renewed license. Was almost boasting, as he got in the senior line, for those of us over 60. Don’t care, I won’t see that age for a few more years. But told him to go when first open, and was quick, as back in about a little over an hour, as drive to it is about 15 to 20 minutes each way.

Not sure what lunch will be, but looking forward to walking. Not exactly warm, but so nice to see so bright, blue sky.

 

[Charade67]

Another slow workday. I’ve already done everything I need to do today. I’m waiting for the mail to arrive. Hopefully we will get some claim checks and I can work on those.

We`ll be doing a split stay for Royal and Sapphire this September, love both hotels a lot.

Still won`t be without EP though, maybe we`re spoiled......even if there`s 3 folks in the regular line we`ll still use EP. Although sometimes we do like to go through the regular line, just to see the good ones.

I was able to walk on to almost every ride last year, so I am going to take my chances again. I’ll consider the other hotels if I can get a really good rate.

I would love to stay there. It looks soooo beautiful!!!! Enjoy your stay there!

I really enjoyed it last year. Will definitely stay there again sometime.

I want to stay there, but we like EP and DH and DS always want to stay at Hard Rock.

Dh wants to stay at Hard Rock the next time we go as a family. We stayed at Royal Pacific last time and really enjoyed it.

Hey all. Here are yak & yeti St. Louis/Korean BBQ fall off the bone ribs (that’s a mouthful lol) that talked to me all night. Mr loves the sweet & sour chicken that isn’t that bottled glop sort.

All the food looks so good. Glad you are having a good time despite the fire and cheerleaders.

I priced out many different sept dates/lengths covering once HHN begins. Didn’t see one savvy traveler rate pop up. I did see somebody post they snagged a very low rate at RP end of month. Go figure

I just checked my dates and the savvy traveler rate is $199 for Sapphire Falls. I think I paid about $125 last year.

Enjoyed doing my Wordle of the day......yes, I`m addicted...

I’ve been playing that too. I’m much more of a math person then words, but Wordle is easy enough for me.

Is it lunchtime yet?

Of course you should.....I was talking about how we are spoiled and won`t be without EP. We don`t like to line up, many are fine with it. And Sapphire is beautiful, we can`t wait to get back there in May.

Sounds like another slow day for you.....hope your time passes quickly.....shame there isn`t more Wordles every day......I think it`s quite a fun little doodle.






Just spent nearly an hour on the phone sorting out a name issue. Although we have a double barrelled surname, we only use the middle one on a daily basis. But anything legal has to be the proper one.....but it does cause some confusion and trying to convince folks we are the same people on the letter can sometimes be difficult, espcially when they don`t listen to what you`re actually saying.......I could have been talking Russian to this woman and her English wasn`t exactly as good as it should have been.

Finally got through to someone in the UK who got it sorted. But, folks just don`t listen sometimes.......no my name is not Erroll!!!

Got off the phone and it rang immediately. It was our Porsche dealership wondering if we want to change the car yet as it`ll be a long order if we do. Usually we change our cars every 3 years, but think we might keep this one 4 years as we love it. But, said we`ll go have a chat and see what`s new.......it`s a few hours away from us, so might be a little day out for that......not very exciting though, although we both love looking at new cars.

Sun is still shining, but will set soon, losing that daylight again.

 

[Charade67]

no my name is not Erroll!!!

Got a quote for our July trip, and HRH was abou $700/night. The other deluxe weren't much better. I priced out Sapphire and Cabana Bay with regular and unlimited EP. We would either spend more for the 3 of us or only save $50/night. DH decided to stick with HRH. There were Savvy Traveler for some hotels, but not HRH. Hopefully, they will add one or an AP discount.

They have some great itineraries.

MM pretzels are the worst. It's like bad tasting bread. The German in me screams every time I see one; they are not pretzels!

What`s a MM pretzel?

MIckey Mouse pretzels

GET.ME.OUT.OF.HERE!!!
USO and WDW...TWO MORE SLEEPZ!!!

Any SAN'rs gonna be there!?

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Wednesday afternoon stop in - finally.

Seems lots of little things are hitting my desk, but I'm getting them cleared off just as fast - thank goodness. Trying to stay on top of everything before next week - when the others try to cover for me being gone.

Ran home over lunch to grab a bite to eat...I seen the neighbourhood retired men are out in full force chipping the ice to create rivers and hopefully get the water on our street to flow into the gutter/thingys lol. I always giggle a little bit. They have such a great time doing this. They look like little boys with big grins on their faces as they win victory over the water rushing away lol.

Going to stop in my favorite local shoe store on my way home from work. I purchased a hew pair of what I'm hoping will be my park shoes. I should have enough time in the next few days to break them in. I have had them before, so I know the break in time is short. I wore my other pair completely out. Can't wait to get them onto my feet!

After 3 hours of dental work done today, finally back home
One more session to finish the work later this month.

sedation dentistry is the only way I can do it

totally wiped out now that I’m back home.

I hope your recovery time is quick. That would do me in for days!!!!

Into our pool when water hits 64 won’t go into the resort’s. having such a wonderful trip, even tho dodging cheerleaders . Just what the doctor ordered

LOVING the pictures. Enjoy your time there!

Ever slept great and still woke up feeling like an extra from The Walking Dead! Yep, went to bed early last night and think I slept too long, woke up at 5.30 and felt like I never slept a wink.....I did though.

I felt the same way this morning. I didn't want to drag my butt up to come to work. Our forecast is calling for high gusty winds again today - hense why my head and body felt like that. I hope your weather warms up so you can get out walking again. It is definitely a struggle when you want to go out to do it...but the weather just is not cooperating.

Ack, time is dragging for some reason.

Yup...today is feeling like that for me too!

Another slow workday. I’ve already done everything I need to do today. I’m waiting for the mail to arrive. Hopefully we will get some claim checks and I can work on those.

I've found enough things to keep me busy until now. I think I'll hit the shredding and get more of that done.

Well, I should get going and find a few more things to do yet today.
Have a great day/evening everyone!

I was about to send the hounds out to look for youse ….
Happy you checked in here

 

[macraven]

I kept a quiet easy day and whined to Mr Mac I was gonna die
Think he got tired of it and he went with friends for a long bike ride
Lol

Dental work has never been easy for me
Don’t know which is worse, child birth or dentistry.

What plans do you have for Valentines Day?
Do any of you go out for dinner?

We just do a card and call it a day
Years back we did make it a date night but after being married for a long time, we keep it simple now.

Hope all are doing good tonight!

 

[Lynne G]

Nope, for Valentine’s Day, we just say we love each other, and call it a day. Never ate out, as seemed way too crowded, and more expensive meal. No flowers, particularly after older one was diagnosed as having an allergy. No gifts either. Most of the time, it’s a week day, like this year, and going out on a week day is not usual for us, except sometimes a Friday dinner out, or ordered for pick up.

Yay for the Buckeev countdown! Wish we’re having that countdown. Have an awesome time!

Ah, was national pizza day, so snap pizzas for us, for a very late dinner. Tasty, and may have a piece or two leftover, so reheated or cold pizza tomorrow? Good for my family. One of the leftover foods I keep. As most of the time, if I put a leftover in the refrigerator, no one eats it. Hence, we rarely keep any leftover meal items. But Chinese and pizza are the two we tend to eat the leftovers.

Ooh, almost bedtime for me. Older one has been working at the early hour start too, the last couple of days. He took a nap, which is why dinner was so late, that, and the fact that we did not eat lunch until 2:30 this afternoon.

Have a good night, sound and refreshing sleep all.
