That's what I thought!

Someone in the forum has mentioned desire to visit Orlando entertainment parks recently. I've mentioned a couple times that I'm a big fan of the Universal Studios parks in Orlando. There are oodles of videos on YouTube showing tours of the two main parks ("Islands of Adventure" and "Universal Studios") that each cost about $100/day to attend, but not so many good videos that show the third and FREE area called "City Walk".
City Walk is located next to the Universal parking garages and between the two pay-to-enter amusement parks. If you willing to fork over $15 for parking and are looking for a good meal or dancing or shopping you can spend a whole visit without having to go into the pay-to-enter amusement parks. In addition there is the permanent nightly (or several times weekly) big show "Blue Man Group" (about $50) in their own theater at City Walk, as well as frequent rock concerts in the auditorium at the Hard Rock Cafe, which is also a great place for a good meal.
There's a new video on YouTube today that gives a complete walk through of all the stuff on both levels of City Walk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJeInnTmaqs The narrator has sort of a sing-songy voice but if you can listen past that he has a lot of information.
And just for fairness, "City Walk" is Universal's answer to Disney's "Downtown Disney" (now renamed "Disney Springs") which has similar types of dining & entertainment and hosts the Cirque du Soleil show "La Nouba" (about $50) as their big draw. (HOWEVER, I believe "La Nouba" has terminated and I don't know if there is yet a replacement show)
Has anyone seen a white taxi? I am looking for one.
How about a lost not in service bus?
...well surprise this morning, my SS benefits were deposited today so no having to wait until Tuesday.
Complaint: Amateur "Yard Sale" signs. Incorrectly placed. Dimensions too small . Lettering too small . Lettering too thin . Confusing information.
Non-complaint: This is Labor Day Weekend. Yay! Well, it would be "yay" if I were in the labor force and had a long weekend. But for me it's just a big yard sale weekend. I drove a total of about 50 miles today and checked on several yard sales. All day of driving and I only spent $1 for a nice beveled-glass display box for some of my "treasures". But I also stopped at the ice cream place and had a chocolate "Mexican Sundae" then stopped at the fruit stand for a half a watermelon. Mmmm... Yum!
Also, I'm celebrating the holiday with a Liver & Onions dinner I bought last night. The place I get it from gives me enough liver for four meals.
I don't know how they make any money.
I only get liver & onions two or three times a year because by time I finish all the liver, I'm so sick of liver I don't want to see it again for 4 months.
...hmm for me celebrating Labour Day means cooking up a big burger and topping it with with all sorts of goodies.
Liver and onions seemed more of a punishment when I was young.
DIM no want to download DAZ.
...new Leela drop.
Picked up Zev0's Molly for G3 (along with the Aging Morphs bundle for G3) in a flash sale a week ago and wanted to try her out as my little troublemaker. Kind of like the more "awkward teen" appearance which suits the character perfectly.
Complaint : There is a cricket in my bedroom chirping it's little brains out and I can't find it!!
Am I too old to find a man and start a family? Should I give up on having kids of my own because I am too old? One of my housemates told me I am too old to have kids or something like that.
Not knowing you or your situation I can not advise, and me being male colors my perspective a bit too.
However, I can tell you that being single and without family is not only a female concern. But being single is an interesting perspective in its own right and is not un-honorable, unproductive or un-enlightening. The energies of one's life just need to be projected in other directions.
Having babies is the easiest thing in the world, any slug, insect, lizard, or monkey can procreate.
But caring for, and rearing children is difficult in the best of situations. There are immensly rich and intelligent people who are terrible parents, and there are people who are unable to care for themselves, much less take the risk of attempting to manage a family. 
In the end though, the reality is, all we can do is work on ourselves.
But I do admit, it would be nice to have to have someone around to trim my toenails that I can't reach anymore. 
In a particular online game, it costs 20 coins to get a bucket of regular compost if bought via a particular NPC, but apparently it is 228 coins if bought in the player market. An empty bucket from same NPC is 2 coins, but on the player market it is 57 coins. One has to be careful because the NPC charges 25 coins for a cabage seed, while it is 5 coins on the player market.
complaint I recieved the wrong noodle bowls in the mail today. It was an amazon package that was delivered today via USPS. o.0 Also they got the flavor wrong. I never had this flavor before as I was afraid it would be too spicy for me. They do not want me to return the wrong noodle bowls. I am now expecting the right noodle bowls tomorrow.
Non complaint: I get to try a new Annie Chun noodle bowl for "free" today. I hope it is not spicy as I never tried this kind before which is why I said it is new as in new for me.
I got Aiko 3 installed but I want to play with Aiko 8. Aiko 3 does not have the same mapping as Aiko 8, but Aiko 8 can use Skin builder 8!
Non-complaint: Feelin' good today, rain has stopped, sun is out for a while. Watching old '30s, & '40s "Charlie Chan" and "Mr. Moto" movies that I missed growing up. But while preparing supper I turned on my music and re-discovered the beauty of Brahms' 1st Symphony. I especially noticed the wonder of the beginning of the final movement (4th) and the theme throughout that movement.
Share my moments of wonderment starting at the transition from the last minute of the third movement (40:00) through the first few minutes of the 4th (to 43:20). It's one of those transitions that sends chills up my spine. And then stay for (or jump to) the 4 minutes of the grand finale beginning at 51:15 with the horns again sending more chills up my spine. A total of seven minutes of magnificent Brahms.
Brahms 1st Symphony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGRqIGOAPcE
2nd movement 18:30
3rd movement 29:30
4th movement 41:10
Once I was lying in bed and there was a cricket somewhere in the house that started chriping. One little chirp. Then a while later another one. Then again. Didn't get up at first because what are the chances of finding/catching it anyway? pretty low. After a while I'm thinking man, that thing seems awfully regular. Nothing better to do, started timing it. The thing seemed to be chirping once every minute and five seconds, how the heck can it even do that? Finally got up and went looking for it, and found... the smoke alarm with a low battery.
In the past week we've captured and released a half dozen of them. They can be really lound when they're in the house! I use a 5 oz. dixie bathroom cup and a piece of junk mail, heavy stock paper/card. I catch it in the cup, then slide the card stock under the cup, hold the cup there and go to a door and sort of swipe the cup away from the card and it's released, outdoors, where it belongs.

Well this is a real cricket ,moved around the bedroom all night and would chirp for a few minutes at a time , the instant I got out of bed it would stop chirping ,finally stoppped at about 5am ,nothing so far this evening .If I could find it I'd put it outside. Kinda glad it isn't the smoke alarm ,I can't reach it ........
...ahh, nobody likes the latest Leela. Oh well.
Not true. I like her, just couldn't think of anything to say. Sorry.
Way cool!
Huh? Oh I like her.
I would think it would take an awful long time to download Daz . BTW did you mean just the Daz store, or the whole Daz site?
Oops did I forget to say "Studio 4.10"?
One of my housemates asked if I can call someone for her. I said no, but she left upset. Even though she said it would be one time, I doubt her.
On other news, Smart content is not started but it is also being used at the same time.
Complaint: Old computer games that worked fine on older computers but crash at random moments on newer computers even after you've applied recommended patches and upgrades and run in older compatability modes.

Complaint: It's Labor Day and the weather is currently bright and sunny and I feel that I should go out and do something hollidayish but it's Labor Day and it's bright and sunny and EVERYBODY is out doing something hollidayish.
Restaurants on the lake will be packed and parking will be as rare as unobtainium. This is the last day of the season for the little old amusement park on the lake and everybody and their grandmother and extended family who are not in the restaurants will be at the park, parked. 
I could throw caution to the wind and have a mini-adventure by driving the 60 miles west to Erie, PA to go to the Outback Steakhouse, but that's a restaurant on Labor Day too.
I could take a drive in the countryside to see what I can see. I might see a turkey or pheasant, or deer, or eagle or even a bear, oh my!
I could drive 25 miles east toward the Indian reservation and go to an aptly named restaurant named "The Hideaway" out in the middle of "nowhere-land" that might have parking and space at a table.
But they currently don't answer their phone and they may be so far off the beaten path that they actually take Labor Day off.
I'll call again later, after noon after they open.
On the reservation I could take a drive down into Pennsylvania along the east side of the Allegheny River, down to where it is dammed by the Kinzua Dam that flooded out all the Indians from their original reservation and forced them up into the hills. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinzua_Dam
I think I'm developing a mini-adventure plan. Possible lunch near the reservation at "The Hideaway", drive down around Kinzua Dam, looking for turkey, pheasants, deer, eagles and bear, find an antique shop open in Warren, PA, then drive home. That should take care of 2 or 3 hours this afternoon.
I hope the sunshine holds out. 
Edited for spelling
Even this Brit knows about Kinzua Dam
Complaint: again: Well, that settles that. Before I even had a chance to call the restaurant, clouds moved in and water started dropping from the sky.
Guess I'll just stay home and watch an old Mr Moto movie and eat the rest of my liver from my two day old liver & onions takeout, now that the onions are all gone.
