Ok one more question before I take a break. This has bothered me for YEARS. I have such a clear memory of part of the Haunted Mansion, in the elevator before you get in the doom buggies. I swear when I was a teenager, I was in the elevator room with the stretching pics at DisneyLAND. And at the end, after it stopped and before the doors open, so scare you they dropped the floor what felt like a foot or so (bet it was a couple inches). I was on it a couple times and it did it both times, so that rules out malfunction. Not a single person remembers this and I have trid to find anyone with the same memory of it. I am SOOO certain this happened, but no one seems to remember this but me. Does ANYONE else? I could see them stopping it in this sue crazy world, but I just want to know I'm not the only person alive who remembers this. Pet peeve literally for decades! Anyone??!!!

It does kind of have a little bit of a jump I guess, like all elevators. It may be more pronounced, now and then! I love Tinkerbell! I actually have a couple of neat Tink items, one is a pic of me at Disneyland holding Tink in my hand, and then I had the model for the original Tinkerbell autograph it. (Only autograph I have EVER asked for, haha), and I also have another photo of her looking thru a keyhole, with the animation of tink looking thru the keyhole..which was also autographed by her. That one I got on ebay! I dont have a ton of Disney stuff, but I love those two things!! I also have the first Mickey Mouse watch ever made, from 1933...and it still runs perfectly!

OMG YAYAY someone else remembers the drop!!! I don't think they have done it in years, but not a single soul has ever felt it. I've even asked on Dis boards and got nothing! And I have some LOVELY collectibles, esp Tink and Figment, my two favs!!!! And I do have more than I should admit to lolol. HUGE Disney snow globe collection too. Plus we used to have the Disney Gallery here. They had SUCH kewl stuff!! And I have almost all of he stuff from the 75th anniversary...fell in love with that line then it went on super sale. Bought tons to Ebay but packed away since time must pass. Now I need the economy to get better.

We can write anything here??? If that's the case may I vent? I hate banks! My friend went on vacation, before he left he visited his bank and they asked him if he wanted this new deal where, if you request it, you will be denied a transaction if you don't have the money to cover it. He said fine, he wanted that, they failed to tell him that this would not kick in until August sometime. He went on Vaca, and from time to time made purchases, which he charged to his debit card. He knew he had some money in there but felt safe against overdrawing because of this new deal. Well, he overcharged, ended up with a negative balance of....wait for it..22 BUCKS!!! For EIGHT days the bank charged him 35 dollars a DAY because of his negative balance! This is not a rich guy, just a working class guy... when he asked the bank to forgive the fees they took off TWO! They also used his entire paycheck (direct deposit) to cover the fees and charges leaving him with nothing for the week. After we bailed out the industry I believe that the banks could be a little more forgiving, especially since his counselor at the bank failed to inform him that the new deal would not kick in until August! When he complained to the bank, they said, "well, we don't want our customers to be embarassed when their card is declined in public..." which has nothing to do with anything! Be very careful of banks, they can be treacherous!

Jade... I just got a letter from my credit union wanting me to sign up for that "protection." They, though, have the nerve to say they'll let me overdraft on my debit card for $20 PER TRANSACTION that occurs over my balance. I thought about it, but decided I'd rather just be embarrassed in public. Besides, I can always excuse myself from a table or line and call the auto-teller and switch around some money... The sad truth is that banks and credit unions seem to be trying to find news ways to "get" their customers since their old ways are being challenged by new laws. It stinks, pure and simple.

Lurk, I took my kids to Disneyland last summer and we rode that Haunted Mansion ride at least 10 times I think. None of us remember the floor of the elevator dropping at all, so, I don't think they do that anymore.

Banks ~ Sorry about your friend's situation. I quit B of A a long time ago because they were charging me $5 a month to have a savings account. A SAVINGS account! It was at a time in college when my funds fell below $200 and apparently in very tiny print, it stated that if you dropped below $200, they would start removing $5 a month for their fee. I didn't catch on until -$30 later and geez, was I hot! My money was SAFER in my frig at home then in that bank! Loved the Haunted House Elevator!

I started to get to chatty in the l=LFD but nothing on Live Feeds so thought I'd resurrect this one! President Obama on The View - Whoopi asked him about the movie Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - the son (Sydney Potier) told Dad that dad thinks of himself as a Negro, and I think of myself as a man - how does this relate to you (President Obama) and then Barbara adds to that with the fact his mother was white, why doesnt he refer to himself as biracial (then he mentioned he wrote a book about this experience LOL) Lajonesin - Hope you are feeling better today! Mummy - hope you are able to get some sleep, and your family is ok!

Wrong conversation for me tonight/morning. My youngest was hit by a car 20 hours ago and I am still a nervous wreck. She is fine. Just bruised and scraped up. Low speed. My daughter was on a side walk, on a bike. The car was pulling out of a strip mall. Now for my food allergic son, speed, speed, speed. He needs air. Dang I am hyped up again already just typing this. I still need a snack.

So far, so good C1. Just scraped up and the EMT's said there was no reason to go to the hosp., but I had to sign a statement that said she didn't need to go to the hosp. Now tomorrow/today, I don't know how much pain she will be in. The bite is that Hubby is off with middle daughter on tour with PFDC (They have a site). They are in NY moving to D.C. My middle daughter was on GMA yesterday morning. My van lost its brakes after they left. I had to have a neighbor take me up to where the accident happened. Head spinning. Still need a snack.
