I'm not going to be able to finish my Ghostbusters costume I've just ran out of time.

Instead I'll be wearing my Snow White costume.

Greetings from cloudy Milwaukee. Had a great first day-ate at the Milwaukee Brat House and the cardinals won the game.

We also worked on planning our November 2017 Disney trip from our hotel room. My dad made a complete swerve and decided we should stay on site so we're looking at getting a package and staying at Pop Century

Okay so because Michael mentioned it on the disneyland show Sunday I had to find it and watch it. It wasn't on netflix so I rented it on amazon. Waking Sleeping Beauty. The stories behind The Eisner/Wells/Katzenberg era. Every Disney fan needs to watch this documentary. The Eisner era is one of the most interesting and biggest parts of disney history. From the weird disconnect of Katzenberg with Eisner and Roy Disney to Frank Wells' death. Disney animation was failing but (thanks to Michael for this) Ron Miller actually started it on the right path. Eisner and the rest of them took all the credit of course. Just a great documentary overall, and I highly recommend it.

This was on TV a couple months ago, I can't remember what channel, but it was a great documentary. Especially because most of the movies were movies i grew up with so it was interesting to see the work that went into them.

I had a roommate do this. She would eat all my food, use up my tampons, and break my stuff. Then she was confused why I moved out and didn't want to be friends anymore.

I've had worse than just food eaters, This house I lived in the main girl's dad bought it for her but said she had to get roommates too pay the bills. she was 19 at the time I was 21 she stupidly let this chick move in who had no job and was living off of insurance money from whatever. Told both she only had two month of income left (yet the girl still let her move in) The girl the house belonged too was already bad enough with her untrained dogs that would **** everywhere and tear up anything they could reach. Anyway this girl's mom was a total crack head and literally never left the house and tried to act like she was all in charge and crap so we told her if she came back we would have her trespassed, so i'll just refer to the roommate as crack baby. Crack Baby, was a nightmare always trying to get me and the main girl to fight over petty things (tho we tolerated each other well enough) One day while I was at work apparently one of the main girl's dogs had gotten into pasta/tp/paper towels and spread those items all over the house while as usual crapping has it went. Crack Baby kept calling and texting me at work (at a desk job) Trying to tell me I "had to" come home and clean up after a dog that wasn't mine while her lazy bum who didn't even have high school or a ged sat at home and watched tv all day. Literally ever 2 minutes was a call or text. So anyone who knows me knows I don't do this crap, so I told her off for constantly trying to contact me at work/told her to get a job ect. Crack Baby tried to file a restraining order, I still have a copy of it somewhere and as you can imagine it wasn't even looked at lol. It literally said things like "she told me to get a job", "she has a bottle of vodka hidden in her closet and that's against the rules" (Note that I kept it in my closet for when I went over to friends on the weekend and she would have had to go into my room and dig though my stuff to know I had it) "she owns a pocket knife and always carries it and I don't like it" "she called me lazy" ect ect ect. Now that' was much worse than stealing food. lol

I also had somebody eating my food when I lived in a rooming house years ago. With the landlord's knowledge, I made some "special food" to help "flush out" (LITERALLY!) the culprit. He was asked to leave.....when he made it out of the bathroom. Doubt he ever ate anybody else's food again.

I should do that, in this case my roomates are brother in laws. So I can't be too mean.

Hi everyone!

It's just past lunch time here, and I am running late for my break. So I will soon get to log off for a minute and have my home made snack.

It's been a few more couple of busy days here, regarding work and other "obligations".
But I am still around, and I am reading everything peeps!

One of my late night routines has become having a tall glass of chocolate milk and browsing the boards on my mobile one last time for the evening before going to bed and turning off the light! *me holding my mobile and having milk chocolate* --->

 

[Eoywin]

I love chocolate millk!

I really need to be on the boards more - I usually only check it when I'm working (I work from home).

Tomorrow is the big day for my trip...I get to pick our FP+!! I am excited and nervous because I had heard that RnRC is going to be down for refurb the whole time we are there.

Good luck! I was a little nervous about making FP+ - mostly because I had to get a FEA FP for me and my daughter. But I got everything I wanted

Other good news this morning...I have been trying to get a HDDR reservation now since June and nothing was available. This morning, I was just checking on park hours (to see if they changed any...prepping for tomorrow) and thought I would do my morning check for and ADR. Well, they finally showed up and I got HDDR for the Sunday we have off and cancelled my SoA ADR for Saturday night (it was just a place holder and/or substitution for HDDR). I am so happy that I could get it for our trip. I was really looking forward to the food, songs, and most importantly...the Strawberry Shortcake!!!!

That's great you got it and a perfect thing to do on a off day I think

We did this for the first time in July and I absolutely loved it ... we definitely will do it again in the future

(side note, interesting you had trouble finding an ADR as we went on a Sunday too and the place was only 1/2 full - no one upstairs and not all downstairs tables taken. This was for the first seating though, maybe you were looking for a later one)

So fun little thing going on - I had came up for a new structural concept for my company to offer to clients and others felt there was enough unique aspects to it that we are exploring getting it patented

Might not go anywhere but thought it would be cool to have something patented

On a completely separate note, I got a jury summons for next week - and have to call each night before to see if I have to go in or not. Annoying to try and schedule meetings when I don't know if I will be in the office or not

This tropical storm guys...... it's kind of nice, but kinda annoying. Hoping it's gone by Saturday so I can get some roller coasters in.

I love chocolate millk!

I miss chocolate milk.

I'm sitting here at work bored out of my mind and impatiently waiting for my fabric for Rey to come in so I can get started.

Just throwing it out there if you need fabric in a hurry do not order from fabric.com. I ordered their fastest shipping option on Monday and have yet to receive any update. The other company I went through I ordered Monday morning and it was shipped that night and on it's way and will probably be here before the other order with 0 extra shipping charges. Such a different experience from the two different places.

GL with this idea.

I am not looking forward to jury duty in October (deferred from original date) since it will be difficult transportation wise (share 1 car...out in the burbs). I was hoping to had move out of the area by now.

I spent some of past day or so trying to avoid posting because of a certain poster that I keep on wanting to type: really, honestly, and edit button can be your best friend (well...I can't post a few other things that are not DIS friendly). I hope that the person is not really like that in real life and just needs an outlet for some reason. Maybe he needs a time machine to a time when there was a debate board....however, I don't miss that board. I believe that most boards have brought more positive results ---like the supporting GTKW. Some people just like to rain on other people's parade.

I have been working on keeping positive on situations since it feels like there have been too much negativity lately both digitally and in the real world.
example:
I have already added to my future WDW/trips ideas list from today's posts like HDDR and wine walk if MIL comes along. I think my uncle/godfather would love the breakfast poutine. I wish that we didn't have many budget killers--just got the oil change....road trip to see MSEP would had been nice (well not in this this weeks rains/storms).
I need a dose of motivation to finish the dishes and other chores (other that impending MIL visit).

I added smilies to my boring rambling today.

Happy HUMP DAY! Lol half way through my first week of college and things are going very well. If you remember I coach football and we have our second game tomorrow.

I had an awesome chat with Michael Bowling on Facebook last night. He's just an awesome human being. I really hope to meet him some day as well as other members of the team.

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

I didn't know you coach football. So fun.

 

[disneysteve]

a time when there was a debate board

I actually used to enjoy the debate board when it stayed civil. The problem was too often it didn't and that was its demise.

 

[rteetz]

Yes freshman football at my former high school. My grandpa is the head coach, and my dad and I are assistants. I also do all the video work for the varsity as well as stats. I am a busy person.

I hear you about trying to keep things positive

We just did HDDR for the first time last trip and loved it! Can't recommend it enough

The wine passport looks like fun and decent value. I believe those locations offer separate wine tastings where there is a bit of choice in what you taste as another option
