That might be its original origin, *thinking of more O words here* older brother opened up the opportunity for occasions to outspread the usage.

Looking for Puddles to give your TR character a new quirk?

Do you recon Disney could have an information sharing agreement with the FBI, CIA and Homeland Security ? (just a thought from a paranoid brit )

You wouldn't be the first person I've heard suggest that... I just know that if they ever implement that system at Disneyland, I'll be a lot more reluctant to renew my annual pass next time it expires...

I doubt the government could afford Disney's prices on such information, lol. One thing I really noticed this time was how hard Disney tries to pull your money out of your wallet. For some reason it wasn't as obvious to me last time, but this time it smacked me in the face at every turn. Perhaps part of the reason is that my kid is older now and a consummate consumer:

The first (and only) time I stayed in a Disney hotel was for an IBM sponsored conference in 1998 (in Orlando FL). I could not believe how they managed to squeeze out the dollars from you. One of my favourites was the sign near the kettle in our room. "For your convenience make your own coffee $2" I don't think I have stayed in a hotel anywhere where you have to pay to use the room tea and coffee making facilities. Anyway to cut a long story short I thought the Disney Corporation was the worlds best organisation for getting money out of people who were either not noticing or even enjoying it, that is of course until I went to Vegas

Where you can't even find a coffee machine in your hotel room... They want you to go to the coffee shop or cafe, which of course means you need to go through the casino to get to it -- and hopefully run a few dollars through a machine on your way...

Hotel coffee makers are mini Methamphetamine labs. I, personally, never use them. No matter the hotel.

Is that while I feel goooooood all day

I have a pet question for all you experts here. Twink has never liked to be left alone. He's a very sociable cat. He was one year old when I got Muffin and after a lot of initial hissing, he became a mother to her. He gave her baths and let her cuddle with him, etc. They had been together almost 15 years when Muffin passed away last month. Twink still looks for her occasionally. Allie wants a kitten and I was thinking maybe it would be good for Twink too. I asked the vet and she said "give it a try".

So my questions are: Do you know of any older cats that have adjusted to a kitten? Should I get one kitten or two? (to play with each other when Twink doesn't want to play, and they would have each other after Twink passes on). Should I get boy cat(s) or girl cat(s)? What breed? I have always wanted Siamese cats because I've heard they are so intelligent and sociable, but they have a rep for being hard to get along with. Any ideas??

Except, you'd be getting all the toxic chemicals and not the stuff that gives you a buzz and rots your teeth. You lose either way.

Allie got a roboraptor from Santa last year and she was afraid of it.

Another favorite was those little rockets you had to build and then light the fuse to make it go off.

It has been a lot of decades since you set them off with canon fuse. They use electric igniter's for about 30 years now but I remember the neighbors used to use fuse.I still play with those but I generally don't put the parachute in and fill them with some sort of pyrotechnic joy.

Yay go Twink!

No joking here, whatsoever. This is serious business. And it happens all the time. Especially in our area.

Hotel rooms are the ideal setup. They can go, make the meth and be gone before anyone knows what's up. And usually, things are cleaned up and LE is never aware of it.

I thought you were joking too, how does that work then ?

I don't know anything about this but you need a kettle to make it?

That's it. I'm sleeping in the Jeep next time. I get creeped out about hotels anyway....
