I have already seen a lot about the show online, including the winner, and one of the biggest fights that happened.  That is why I might borrow my Mom's Peacock password.

 

I don't think Kate's baby daddy is from The Traitors, I do think it is one of two people from BD though.

Now you have my attention.

Fully agree with you and I'm sure they are abused.  However, a friend reminded me that not all handicaps are visible, so you can't judge by watching someone walk a short distance into a store.


Oh, I totally get that -- my mom has Heart Failure and COPD (spent six months in an iron lung due to polio at age 4yo), and she's been accosted by people before because she doesn't "look" handicapped even though she's had ten heart attacks and a stroke.

But there are plenty of people who use a relative's vehicle / placard just because they can get away with it, or they leave the disabled person in the car but still park in the accessible parking spot.  Those are the ones who grind my gears.

I saw a video once where the cops set up a "sting" operation at a sporting event of some sort, and they stopped every vehicle accessing the handicapped parking lot.  If the person to whom the license plate or hanging placard was assigned wasn't in the vehicle, they issued a HUGELY expensive ticket.   I think if police agencies did more of this kind of thing, they'd find that the fines imposed more than cover the cost of the extra personnel.  (Wouldn't even have to be a full-on LEO -- could just be a "meter maid" type of job.)

Really? Oh do tell. WHO???? I love good gossip.

 

Kate lives in the same building in Ft Lauderdale as Chef Ben and they were a "thing" in the past.  The other guess would be Bobby.  He also lives near Kate, is older than most of the guys on BD and an interaction between Kate and Andy on WWHL last night makes me wonder.

I am becoming convinced that I have an eating disorder. I walked into the Solarium Bistro just to see what they have and ended up eating lunch all over again. 😕

 

I have the same issue anytime I get near an ocean. I become a bottomless pit. 

 

I'm convinced I have a tapeworm that wakes up when he smells salt air.😃

I used to take my father-in-law to a local casino for a day trip. Always took my car but he would  grab the handicapped tag from his car & insist that I use it after I dropped him off at the front door & went to park the car.  I never did but I would  tell him i couldn't use it since all the handicapped spots were taken. Which was true  about 50% of the time.

My Wife has been fine. Was overly concerned about her  on this trip but it was me that really got sick.

 

Arrived on Friday, did the parks Saturday, Sunday , Monday and Tuesday. After getting back to our room around 10pm my stomach really started to feel bad. Diarrhea was first to start, and then severely sick to my stomach. The worse I have ever been sick to my stomach.

 

Chills and hot back and forth. Not until around 3am did I stop being sick to my stomach. Next day was about 85 degrees in the parks and I was much to weak and not feeling right to walk around in the Parks on Wednesday. The plan was to leave for Bradenton on Thursday Morning for my Aunt or Uncle's house or do a partial park day on Thursday before driving down.

 

Still couldn't do that so we extended our stay at Bonnet Creek, but had to move from a 2 bedroom unit to the 3 bedroom unit. Check out now Friday Morning to move down to Bradenton.

 

Still wasn't feeling great, so our park visit's ended on Tuesday Night even though we still had 1 day left on our park tickets.

 

Got to Bradenton around Noon time on Friday, still felt like crap and still couldn't do much. My Aunt and Uncle wanted to drive us around and see things but I just couldn't do it. Still had diarrhea  issues.

 

Flew home at 7pm on Sunday Night, arrived in Roanoke at 8:30pm.

 

Still not eating much and still not feeling anywhere near 100%.

 

I believe I either caught some kind of virus or it was food poisoning from either Joe's Crab Shack near Celebration on something we ate at France in the Countries at Epcot.

 

I mentioned to my Wife after coming out of Joe's Crab Shack is smelled like throw up in there......So maybe that is where I caught something.

 

Friday to Tuesday Night we had a great time, after that not so much.

 

Next trip not until a cruise in September. Hope to make it up to her for me ruining this vacation.

 

She does tell me today she wants me to look for tickets  to go  see ColdPlay,  believe they are coming to Charlotte, NC which is about 2  hours from us.

 

Forgot to say. I also took a Covid Test, It was Negative on Thursday.

So Sorry you went through that while on your trip.   Nothing worse than being sick away from the comforts of home.     

I am sure you Wife understands but that would be really nice if you can get her some tickets for Cold Play.    

My Husband many years ago had a bad oyster and was curled up on the bathroom floor of a hotel for an entire night.    He spent the next day in bed after an exhausting night but he felt much better the next day. 

I think you caught a virus not food poisoning.   But what do I know....Just glad to hear you are slowly feeling more like yourself now that you are back home.    Hopefully you were able to catch some of the Eagles game at the airport and/or on the plane.

Where is @Momof3gurlz? We have Allure, Navigator, and Odyssey represented this week. She was supposed to supply the fourth ship... Even though it belongs to a different blood line. 

She didn't get the passcode from that other cruise line for getting in here while cruising. 😉

Remodel is just about done, just a few things left to do before the final payment is due.

Still waiting for that drawer front for under the microwave. One  wall where the TV still needs a second coat. Plus some touch ups where workers touched their hands here and there.

 

After the painting is done they have some wire shelving to install in the closet by the garage door.

 

It took a long time but well worth the wait, we got it exactly the way we wanted it.

 

Might bring up some of the pantry items from downstairs and relocate them upstairs where they belong............This weekend unloading all the boxes with dishes in them that we packed away many, many months ago.

Saw the first Eagles Score in the 1st quarter at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Bradenton and then all of the 2nd half after the airport lounge in Clearwater.. We boarded as the game ended or fights ended however you want to call the end of the game.

@Jimbo

 

+ 3, I especially like the backsplash and the sink. Jim, I assume there is still some painting to do? 

I know you are thinking of that white  return air duct grate right? It doesn't stand out as much in person as the pictures show. I'm sure eventually we will do something with it.

I have a shirt my daughter bought me for Christmas that says… “I beat anorexia”. I was going to bring it on the cruise as a joke but then was concerned I might offend someone with an actual eating disorder. That isn’t my intent. I offend enough with all my “We the people…” 2nd amendment stuff.
