The burdens of adult life weigh heavily on me, but I would never give up my freedom of choice to avoid them. I have enough trouble living with myself as it is, without losing that last bit of self-respect.

While US doesn't have the great food

That's just ignorant. There's plenty of absolutely fantastic food in the U.S.

I have no idea why anyone would visit us now, but if you manage to get past the fascist scum, there are plenty of amazing places to eat.

They need to come up with enough people to deport to justify their lies about the border.

Annual training credits required to maintain her license. A professional organization would arrange for two years worth of credits to be earned in three days of classes at Disney World, with deluxe room discounts thrown in.

The room discount meant that you couldn't get the Disney Dining plan. The first two times we just paid for meals out of pocket, but the last time we did that, the kids were growing and eating a lot. I had a bill the last time that had me sitting and panicking in a stall in the bathroom on the last day.

After that we would pass on the discounted rooms and just stay at a budget resort hotel and get the dining plan. It ended up being cheaper.

The dining plan doesn't make sense for most people, but we were able to save money by using it.

Speaking as one of the weird adult Disney fans, DisneyWorld is bigger and had a lot more going on. I can spend a week at DisneyWorld and leave wanting more. Aside from all the things I enjoy, I relive memories from when I was young, when my wife and I were young, and when our kids were young.

I've been there 11 times (I think)

1. When I was in elementary school and my parents took the family on a rare vacation.
2. When I was in middle school and my mom was president of the school district's music association, and she took me with when the band and chorus went to WDW because she didn't trust my dad to take care of me without her (ha!).
3. When I was in high school and went in another music association trip. My future wife was on the trip too. It was before we started dating, and we hung out in the pool.
4. After my wife received her doctorate, we went to WDW to celebrate. I convinced her we should get what I think was called the "gold key" plan or something like that. Absolutely everything was included. I knew she would obsess over costs and skip things she wanted to try unless it was all included, so it changed from worrying about costs to trying to get her money's worth.
5. When our oldest kids were 5 & 7, we took them (our youngest was under 3, so she stayed with the grandparents).

6 & 7) My wife got continuing education credits at classes there, so we got discounted trips and took all three kids three more times.

8. The oldest kids were too old to take our of school, but our youngest wasn't, so we did a 4th continuing education trip with her, and the oldest two stayed with the grandparents (keeping everything fair).
9. Another continuing education trip, but this time all the kids were too old to take out of school, so the wife and I went by ourselves. I thought it would be weird being alone in WDW when my wife was in class, but turns out it was fine. Odd thing is, we kept talking about wanting to take the kids again. So, when we were there we started planning another trip.
10. We saved for more than 5 years. Took the three kids and two girlfriends. It was in 2021, so we were masked everywhere. Also, by this time, my wife was no longer working (disabled, had to give up her practice, no more continuing education). Handicapped hangtag for the car, and a wheelchair so she didn't have to do much walking. On the last day, I was starting to feel really tired, and I thought it was just because of pushing get around in the chair all day every day. Actually I had picked up COVID. Of course several people at work got it at the same time, so I certainly had a better time catching it than they did.
11. My wife and I were in the mood for another trip in 2023. Just us this time.

I have much less experience with Disneyland. I've been there once. When my wife was still working, but clearly having medical problems, she heard about a doctor in LA who she thought could help. My mom offered to pay for the airfare. I told my wife I would go even though I didn't really think he would help. However, my price was a visit to Disneyland while we were there.

Disneyland is more "cozy". I definitely appreciated the vibe. People talk about it having something special from being the park that Walt actually knew and worked on, and I definitely thought that was the case. I'd definitely like to return to Disneyland some day.

Or wasn't white.

That's what you get for not checking the "Prime" checkbox when searching for a 737 on Amazon.

Hopefully they kept the packaging.

Guinea pigs too.

You'll be holding the piggie, and she'll curl up and grab a fresh turd right from the source and chomp that up.

I'm curious if China has to pay the return shipping, or did it qualify for free returns.

Perhaps I'm misunderstand your question, but I think in life it's just...life. The editor of the film you experience as your life is your own brain. Anything it does to affect the way you experience it is just the way you experience it.

Even more irrelevant:

My grandfather was named Ignazio. He didn't like people calling him Iggy, so he changed his name to Harry.

How the hell do you go from Ignazio to Harry?

The victims in this case are magats.

"My brother voted for President Trump. What he and his wife regret is the trauma they endured on U.S. soil—both handcuffed without cause, separated, humiliated, and treated like threats instead of citizens."

They'll jerk off to it until it's their turn.

Google 50501!

You know, it's never going to be a happy moment when an animal decides to eat you, but in this case you really have to admire the ambition.

Unless they filmed a flashback to when I was killed, nothing.

People who don't obey the law should be in prison.

But let's try applying that logic to the Constitution for a change.

Yeah, I know it wouldn't be a good thing for the U.S., but they want to destroy everything anyway so they can create their fascist paradise. I'd prefer if they just get it over with already.

If the end is coming, I'd prefer it to get here already.

Why don't they just ban imports from China? Then China can ban imports from the U.S. Then the trade imbalance "problem" will be solved.

You could call it amblyopia.

It's kind of fun to say. The syllables roll over each other like wet pumpkin seeds.

Most people won't know what you're talking about, unless you hang out with a lot of eye nerds. You'll probably find yourself saying, "... which is the medical term for 'lazy eye' ..." all the time.

I just googled "amblyopia" and the result came up as:

Lazy Eye

Also called: amblyopia
