We should rent a place for Postiecon

by

I never thought about it before, but I just found out that you can rent Disney vacation homes. By this I mean vacation homes that are right beside Disney World in Orlando Florida. If I’d known that I might have looked into it when I was thinking about going to P0stiecon at the end of the month.

We could have gathered a small group of bloggers, maybe 6 or 8 and rented out a nice sized vacation home. Hmmm maybe we can do something like that in Vegas now that P0stiecon has moved? Rent a big vacation home or maybe a very large hotel suite and share it?

I’m still not even sure if I’m going to Vegas this fall, it all depends on this darn Crohn’s disease, but if I’m feeling ok by early summer I might start to make some plans.

If any other posties are interested in perhaps sharing a double room with Chris and I – by double room I mean adjoining rooms or a double suite … whatever you call it, let me know.





What happens when you’re gone?

by

If you’re married do you ever think about what will happen to your spouse and or kids when you pass on? Especially if it happened sooner rather than later?

Chris and I have been kind of dumb. Considering how sick I’ve been, and his scare with a heart problem a few years ago we still haven’t taken out any kind of Death insurance. You know, money that would be paid to the spouse or beneficiary in the event of an accidental or untimely death.

I guess I shouldn’t think negatively, but my grandmother on my fathers side died when she was quite young, younger than i am now and what with some of our family history and my being sick I can’t help but think of things like that occasionally. I guess since I’m thinking about things like this it’s time to take care of it.

Have you prepared for the future?

Is pet food safe again?

by

Does anyone know if they ever figured out the problem with pet foods and dog supplies yet? I haven’t been hearing about toxic dog and cat food in the news all that much in the last week. Is it safe to buy dog food again?

Why am I asking? I don’t have a dog. Nope. I’ve got two box turtles though and occasionally we give them a tiny bit of dog food – the kind made for older dogs – it has less fat and it’s healthier for them than regular dog foods. The turtles get a good mix of veggies, fruit and uhm … insects but they do like a teaspoonful of dog food every now and then.

If no one knows if they’ve solved the mystery I’ll hold off buying them any dog food for a while longer. They can live without it. Hmmm maybe I’ll buy them some minnows instead? They haven’t had fish for a while.

Robbing a Donut shop with a Staple gun?

by

I don’t know if this is from a comedy show, or someone that has just named their production “The Bsquad” but I found this funny video on YouTube of a guy, obviously a comedian, attempting to rob a Dunkin Donuts with a staple gun. It’s kind of weird and out there. It got me wondering though if anyone has ever tried that, and if they did – were they successful?

The most disorganized family!

by

Well, it looks like at some point this weekend we’ll be going to my husbands hometown to see his parents. His dads birthday is on the 10th of the month, and of course Mother’s day is this Sunday … double whammy!

What’s really strange about Chris’ family is most of the time they don’t make any plans.

They know special occasions are happening and they’ll call at the last minute expecting us to drop everything, bring this, bring that, don’t forget the folding chairs, and a desert and we’ll see you in an hour. Or else they totally go the opposite way and over plan everything a couple of months in advance. Right down to the smallest detail, but of course the details change daily and are completely different from the original plans by the time the special occasion actually happens.

It’s so strange!

I mean there’s no word yet on what’s happening this weekend but I’ll bet we end up going out for dinner with the whole family or gathering at Chris’ parents place … and then there’s Chris’ brother calling us twice already this week to make plans for early July when he plans to come to Toronto for a visit with his son. By the time that happens his visit will end up taking place at the end of July and he won’t even come to Toronto at all. LOL Happens all the time this way!

Families are so weird.
