Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

Wave to my DH! He's there for a 1-day visit today. I hope you have a great trip!

DD and I were at WDW from 9/6-9/11, a lot of people appeared sick. I also noticed many CMs wearing masks. One day at EE rope drop I went to the back of a longer line because someone was heavily coughing right behind me. Other times I left lines and moved on. I didn't mask up in the parks often on this trip, but did mask on my flights and started avoiding theatres on days I forgot to bring a mask with me. (I'm 99.99% sure we got Covid from a sick person in a theatre in 2022 at WDW.) When I went the parks were low crowds so it was easy to distance ... mostly.

My adult DD came back with a wicked cold though. She flew back 2 days before me and said everyone on that plane was coughing. She had double-masked but still got sick, but I didn't and she stayed away from everyone in the house for a few days and they didn't get sick either.

I returned from Disney on 9/14 and had Covid symptoms beg on Monday 8/18. I used Purell after and before every meal, ride, and bus ride.

I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. Sanitizing helps but ultimately transmission happens through the air.

We're doing Halloween Horror Nights this Saturday and finishing off our UO APs over the weekend. As much as I hate wearing N95s, I'm bringing some for when inside crowded spaces. At least, thanks to trying a lot of them over the years when cases spike, I finally found some that don't press so bad/are more comfortable.

Some of the 4K blu rays are a decent deal. i like to have some physical media if the internet/power ever goes out. Plus with streaming apps things come and go.

I’ve got an issue where my driver’s license did not show up. I have informed delivery so I saw the scan of the letter and it should’ve shown up Monday (along with 2 credit card bill and something from DVC). None of that showed up, but I did get the junk mail. I’m waiting for the post master to call me.

Same. I want to buy Muppets Take Manhattan in 4K because we're big Muppets nerds lol

We just got back from a 10-day trip to WDW in a 1BR at BWV. Our DD24 and her BF25 joined us for 5 days. I got sick (Covid neg, twice) 4 weeks ago and I still have a lingering cough. I wore a mask on all my flights. I spiked a fever on Wednesday night so between that and the rain, we stayed in and ordered from Trattoria al Forno. I tested again, still negative. I booked an appointment to see a doctor today because I have a feeling my "lingering cough" turned into pneumonia. I really hope I don't come down with Covid on top of this.

I would say that about 8% of the CMs were wearing masks again and maybe 3% of the guests were. We only wore our masks on the plane since I figured I was no longer contagious after 20 days.

There are so many sick kids and teachers at my school right now. Covid is going around along with a head cold virus. I'm currently laid up at home with a head cold. It is so bad and its just Sept!

 

[elgerber]

My adult ds and I leave Tuesday. He is worried because on our last trip we got it and had to come home early. We both just got the new booster, and will mask on the plane. He wants to mask indoors everywhere too. So, we may do that. I also bought some nasal spray stuff, cuz I figured it can't hurt.

I keep telling myself we’re spiking early this year so come holidays maybe we finally won’t all be sick again!

Thanks for this! I was reading an article recently that Google Play GCs can be used to pay for YouTubeTV, so I’ve been keeping an eye out for deals on them.

My friend went to the er yesterday and they had to transfer her to another hospital.

I hope she's okay and you too.

I think there is a concern that a winter surge is coming. This morning, the Biden administration announced that they will resume the free COVID test kit program where USPS will deliver free test kits if you order on the government website which will become operational beginning Monday. Hopefully the link works as an unlocked article:

I think they're getting ready for Fall as the season officially starts Sat, Sep 23, 2023

I think it's just one of those time periods where everyone knows someone who is currently/recently sick with COVID. My DDIL returned from Italy and tested + a few days later. My 95 yo mother (lives in assisted living) had it 2 weeks ago. I'm here visiting her from out of town and decided to wear a mask at airport/in flight for the first time in years? I was also careful before I traveled (avoiding the gym, etc) because I didn't want to get sick before my trip. I suspect there are a lot of people (like me) who have things on the horizon that they don't want or can't miss (not that anyone WANTS to get sick from anything). I travel home in 2 days so hopefully nothing disrupts that.

You take care!

How are you feeling now? Have you seen your PC?

Welcome back!
That lingering cough has not left me since I got Covid back in 2021 after Christmas! No kidding. When I got sick at WDW fall last year I told the ER Doc the same and he took an x-ray but found nothing. I recently had another x-ray and I'm not sure. I have an appt. with the new PC on Friday 29th.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon.

Just FYI, hand sanitizer may help with some viruses, but Covid is not one of them, you need to wear a good mask.

I hope your case isn't too bad.

Speaking of illnesses, Sherlock is a little down. Not eating his meals or skipping breakfast or dinner, so he's back to momma's wholesome cooking goodness. I processed 4 whole chickens and made a lot of bone broth without onions.
Boil then simmered drumsticks and thighs for 30 minutes with scraps of carrots, celery, garlic, fresh parsley and astragalus root. While that was going on I roasted the entire back, neck and wings 400° for 30 minutes.
After the simmer, I removed the meat, cut it in chunks and set aside, covered. Put the bones back in the pot and added the roasted parts and simmered for 12-24 hours.
Liquid gold perfection!

I make bone broth for my family and our pups.
The chunks get added to each 16oz jar.
For the pups I recommend watering it down 1:1 ratio and for the family, sauté onions with a little bit of chicken fat then add the bone broth, heat & serve.


I've got four more chickens to process and I'm just getting started.

That darn lingering cough!

I just got off the phone with my PC, they found a 2cm opacity pulmonary nodule on the right lung, near my heart.
I'm scheduled for a CAT scan on the 28th. I'm not going to worry about anything even after the fact, I am at peace.
