I loved giving birth mind you.......wouldn`t let go of that darn gas and air, one midwife tried to take it off me, she failed badly.......

 

[Lynne G]

Good luck with your dental visit Mac. Yeah, lots of better ways to spend an hour.

Awwww......3 hours at a time is a long time to be in a dentist chair!!! Sending you the usual recovery hugs......go sit and do nothing much the rest of the day!




Well I was glad of the sauce and sour cream as my dumplings were a little harder than they should have been tonight, still completely edible though. Think I rushed them too much.

I was looking after my friends granddaughter and feeding her too, only had her for 2 hours, but she is always hungry....and she`s a tiny little thing too, but she doesn`t eat pork so made her something different, she wanted mac n cheese with chicken and jalapenos, very adventurous eater. So all being prepped at the same time.

Was still lovely though and Elise has been picked up by her dad now, love having her anytime.

Wind will die down tonight, but back tomorrow at around 40mph by the afternoon.....will look forward to when we can get out walking again, far too windy.

Pot of tea time and some butter cake.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Mac, long time in that chair. Hugs. And have to go back? I hope you recover soon, and feeling better soon too. Mummy dust healing and good thoughts your way.

Even though wet and warm out, was a soup and grilled cheese lunch for little one and me. Cooked up some chicken, but we were both full, so, thinking steak for dinner with chicken topped salad, with your choice of dressing. As bought a nice head of romaine this weekend. Caesar dressing probably the best choice. Eh, men probably will eat whatever dressing I put on it.

Raining at lunchtime, so a very short walk. Bright enough, but still drizzling now. Heavier rain to fall later in the day, and night.

But as a shorter week, yahoo to be seeing that camel tomorrow.

So, feel like watching some Potter tonight.....but my mister fancies watching the Exorcist......I think it is the most disappointing film I`ve ever seen. Avoided it for years as it was supposed to be terrifying........nope......not in the least bit scary to me.

Will negotiate to see who wins, I do feel like watching something scary now though.....

 

[soniam]

@schumigirl I can always watch the Potter movies. They are very enjoyable and make me feel at home.

 

[schumigirl]

How true. I don`t know how many times we`ve watched them over the years. The first one especially is very innocent almost, they were so darn young. Do you have a favourite Potter movie?

I loved the 3rd book the best, but felt the movie didn`t quite transfer as it went quite dark in that one....Castle changed and Hagrid`s hut was in a completely different place.......different director of course.

Think The Exorcist is winning right now, might keep Potter for a marathon over the weekend now.

 

[soniam]

@schumigirl Oooh, favorite is a bit hard. The first one of a series is usually my favorite, because it's so unexpected and new. So, definitely 1 and probably 3 or 7/8.

lol.....it`s not easy is it. They all have something that makes them all special, but for me I think the 1st one remains my favourite. It`s funny, the American versions are slightly different, when we watched The Philosophers Stone in Orlando we kept saying that`s a new scene...just little scenes that have been added to existing scenes, but quite odd as there doesn`t seem to be any obvious reason why we didn`t get them in the UK version.

Wonderful books and movies all round though.



Exorcist is on........I will say music is creepy.

If you were watching it on cable in the hotel room, it could have been a new scene. The same thing has happened to us in the last year or two. I can't remember which channel it is, but one of them is showing the movie with deleted scenes rejoined in. I think the deleted scenes are on one of the DVD/blu-ray releases. They are referred to as extended versions. I think it was either Freeform, USA, or SyFy, which are all owned by Disney.

It was a dvd we watched in the Club Lounge at RP, yes, you`re right it must have been an extended version with scenes in we don`t get over here in the UK version, as our extended versions are different from that one.

This Exorcist movie is just dull. I keep laughing when I really shouldn`t.......lol......

Good evening. Long day today. Had a fairly busy day at work then went shopping and got some new jeans. WHen I got home I had to do a video call to get approved for an IRS website account. That took over an hour because I was on hold most of the time. I finally got the account set up and it turned out that I couldn't get the form I wanted online.
Tonight after dinner we watched Jurassic Park 3. I can't believe there are 3 more movies of people going back to those islands.

We have T-Mobile and love it!

Sorta! I’d say it depends on the area. I’d ask friends who live in your neighbourhood. When I’m in NY and staying with my brother my Canadian phone roams on T-Mobile in that area for some reason, and reception is garbage. My phone roams on either AT&T or T Mobile depending on where I am. Take it with a grain of salt as I don’t live in the US.

But in wdw T Mobile is fine. I can be in one park on T Mobile and another park in AT&T! So like most companies it depends on coverage in area.

Thanks for the information on T-Mobile. We are basically looking for a plan that will work were we live and also work well at places we like to visit. We were just an hour away from home the other day and could not get service.

Yes, we had words today at the post office as the delivery driver had noted gates not open no one home......gates were unlocked and we were certainly home. Usually they have to take a picture of your property to show they were there, no picture available. It`s frustrating.

Sounds like FedEx here. I once had a FedEx driver forge a signature for a package and leave it at my door. (Wasn't mine) and just yesterday a package was left at out office door that didn't belong to us. The correct recipient didn't even live on the same street.

Heads Up my DVC Peeps...
Just canceled our Spring Break DVC booking...
AKL Savannah View DLX Studio...MAR 5-11

Family stuff rearin' it's ugly head again!

If y'all know anybody with flexibility...let 'em know!

Sorry you had to cancel. I understand family issues.

Hehe, little one asked me when time change. Coming soon. Yeah, more sun to see, but ugh, springing ahead in time. Really wish my state would vote to stop that changing time, but never seems to get any traction to do so here. And the federal government tossed it to the states to decide. Not our whole country wanting that time jumping. Sigh.

I am looking forward to the time change too. I wish the whole country would stop changing the time.

One more hour and I will be back in the dentist chair for more work to be done

not my favorite way to pass an hour of my day

Yuck. Not a good way to spend a day. Sorry you have to go back for more.

So, feel like watching some Potter tonight.....but my mister fancies watching the Exorcist....

I would definitely choose Potter. I think the first movie is my favorite.

I should get some sleep. I have to deal with Anthem and Medicare tomorrow.

Charade how annoying after spending all that time with IRS you couldn’t get what you wanted done. /

Schumi the roast came out delish in the slow cooker Mr enjoyed his meal very much. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a pork roast.
.
Mailman today delivered mail in our mailbox that was for the house below us. Was bank stuff. Not good! On my way out I stopped by to bring it to them. We had the same mail carrier for years. This never happened with her. This year they restructured the routes and we got a new carrier. I don’t like the possibility of having our bank statements ending up in the wrong hands. Especially this time of year when all the tax stuff is coming in. Ugh.

It sure is still worrisome when people get Covid. People are still dying here. And who knows what lasting effects may happen.

Mac thanks for birthday wishes. I hope your dentist appt went well.

Lynne my province has been talking about stopping time change forever! In talks with the US western states. Wash, Oregon, & California. I guess it would be weird if we were on one time, but a 30 min drive across the border was a different time. I hope eventually we can do away with the time change!

Buckeev sorry to hear you have to cancel trip.

Soniam congrats to your DH! 30 min is huge! Hope you get an Arusha view at AKL. That’s been my fav.

Had lunch with oldest daughter today, then later afternoon went to see Death on the Nile with a couple of friends. We enjoyed it. Stellar cast. I was surprised to see French & Saunders in it!
Tomorrow going to get sparkles touched up!
Hopefully this arctic cold front ends tomorrow. This morning my cheElsa were stinging from the cold breeze.

 

[macraven]

I hope your cold weather leaves soon!
I would whine all the time if I lived in an area that was artic cold

i became a whimp when I moved to the south

We had to get some info from the UK Gov tax office last week.....nightmare. You need a code to go to your phone to do some things online, Tom had changed his number and you can`t change that online, so he had to call......74 minutes later he was asked the usual security questions and then the last one was......when did you last call the Tax Office????? You had to give the specific date.....who the hell keeps that date in their head! Very frustrating.

We don`t do our own taxes so it was all very weird to deal with these people.

Yes, I love the first Potter movie too. Hope you slept well.

I was so disappointed in Branagh as Poirot. The movies are beautifully filmed, but so disappointed in the story and the cast. I think I have been spoiled by the originals who had genuine huge stars in them. I like Jennifer Saunders and Dawn french, but not in those roles. Bette Davis and Maggie Smith so encapsulated Mrs. Van Schuyler and Bowers in the original they could never be replicated and of course Angela Lansbury was a fabulous Salome Otterbourne. Glad you enjoyed it though and it`s nice we are finally getting new movies coming out after 2 years of not very much.

Hope you warm up soon too.......I`m so over winter.

I hope your cold weather leaves soon!

I always say I was born in the wrong climate! This lizard likes the warmth that you are enjoying now for most of the year!




Still windy and woolly here........I can`t imagine how excited we`ll be when this wind finally dissipates. Not too bad right now, but this afternoon brings back 40mph winds and same tomorrow.

Going to be reading in school this morning, shorter than usual time frame as they have a show to do for parents later. It`ll work out fine as I need to go get a few things from some different stores.

Some of the pulled pork I cooked the other night for dinner tonight, will make it spicy and make some wedges.....sweet potato for me, regular for Tom. He loves a baked potato, but I hate them so never make them.....wedges are ok.

Can`t wait for spring to get back to seeing friends outside for walks and other pleasantries, this winter although not a bad one has just been so windy and not fun!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday
