[mommytotwo]

Hey, guys! How's everyone been? Patsy, I hope that your family is much better now.

I have to brag, been away with Carol's high school band in Branson for a competition. Those kids are awesome! They are such a well behaved group. We had a great time. And brought back a 4' trophy for best band over all.

Hi Susan. I wish I could say that we are better but we are all still sick. :sick:
Congratulations to all of the band members :banana: .

As for a smile.....a mom preparing a meal then bringing it to the table to feed her family :).

[pennst8r]

Congrats to the band members! That's great!

Patsy--sorry you're all still sick.

While I was at camp last week with DS11, both the dog and DS6 got sick, and DH had to deal with it all. I was not laughing when he called to tell me :rolleyes1

[mommytotwo]

If you were to recieve an edible item from another state and it can not be something from WDW, DL, or DCA-(like a :mickeybar ), what would you like to try?

[Pooh67_68]

Whatever the persons favorite item is. (if it can be sent)
I'll try anything once.

[J&D]

If you were to recieve an edible item from another state and it can not be something from WDW, DL, or DCA-(like a ), what would you like to try? love those choc mac nuts and taro root chips from Hawaii

Patsy- Hope y'all feel better soon!

Hi, UrsulasMyHero! How was your exam back in Dec?

[mommytotwo]

I like taro chips as well :).

I would like some Tim Tams from Texas :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes .

[mommytotwo]

If you were to invent a new dessert dish for Disney, what would it be and how would it look like presentation wise?

[J&D]

I would like some Tim Tams from Texas don't know what that is :confused3

I'll see if I can find some.

[J&D]

my dessert would be a Mickey head-shaped pastry shell filled with fried ice cream

[Kirby]

I would like some Tim Tams from Texas
I've lived here all my life and have never heard of this.:confused3

[mommytotwo]

Tim tams are actually from Australia or New Zealand and there is a store in Texas-not sure where that sells them. They are yummy if you ever get to try them.

As for a dessert that I would invent-

It would be a chocolate souffle in the shape of mickey,with whipped cream, fresh berries, and sprinkled with Mickey shaped sprinkles.

[J&D]

I've lived here all my life and have never heard of this.Glad I wasn't the only one who didn't know what they are. ;)

[Pooh67_68]

I really don't know what kind of dessert I would make, but it would be something with ice cream. :thumbsup2

[mommytotwo]

If you were to be one of the Disney characters for a day, who would you like to be and why?

[Pooh67_68]

Why Winnie the Pooh of course. pooh: pooh: pooh: pooh: pooh: pooh:

I think by now everyone knows why. :yay:

[mickeyfan2]

Mickey, obviously or Stitch. DH says Stitch was modeled after me!!!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I would be Tinkerbell. I would spend the whole day traveling and pixie dusting everyone I could find. :tinker:

[Pooh67_68]

Tell your DH I will believe no such thing.


DH says Stitch was modeled after me!!!!!

[Pooh67_68]

My sisters favorite is Dumbo and she would love the flying involved. But I see her more as Piglet as she is so small.

[mickeyfan2]

Tell your DH I will believe no such thing.

Actually DH is right. I am very much like Stitch.:lmao:

[mommytotwo]

I would want to be Mickey.

[kimbac3]

I think I'd like to be Chip or Dale. They always seem to be having fun!
I'd have to be a short character..I'm only 5' tall!!

Kimba

[mommytotwo]

At a carnival, what game do you enjoy playing the most?

[Pooh67_68]

I don't play games at a carnival.

[kimbac3]

I don't play games at a carnival.

Me either, they always seemed rigged to me! No one ever seems to win. My kids used to always want to play something but now I make them use their own money and they realize it's a waste of their money.

Kimba

[AlexWyattMommy]

Only the goldfish ping pong game. We have a pond, so if we win, they go to a good home.

[mommytotwo]

We play various games so that my daughter can win those cheapy dolls that gets tossed out a few months after :sad2: .

[mommytotwo]

Share a recipe or helpful hint day. Come and share something with us :).

[Pooh67_68]

In the regional exchange I received an English cookbook. I will share a recipe from it.


Yorkshire Pudding
4 oz. flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium eggs
1/2 pint milk and water mixed
2 tablespoons beef dripping, from the roasting pan.

Prepare the batter by placing the flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and break the eggs into this. Using a wooden spoon or an electric whisk, beat the eggs and gradually add the milk and water, incorporating the flour a little at a time. Beat until the batter is smooth and leave to stand in a cool place for about one hour.
Remove the roast beef from the oven and keep warm or transfer to a lower shelf. Raise the oven temperature to 425º Place the beef dripping in an 11"x7" roasting pan and place in the oven until very hot, by which time the oven will have reached the higher temperature. Remove from the oven and pour the batter into the pan. Return to a high shelf in the oven and cook for approximately 25 minutes until risen, golden brown and crisp. Cut into squares and serve immediately.

[mommytotwo]

Since it is Boy's Day, here is a recipe that I made for it.

Baked Mochi
1 pound mochiko-(16oz.box)-mochiko is Japanese flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups water
1 can coconut milk-(12 oz.)
1 tsp. vanilla
food coloring-red or green

Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add water and coconut milk gradually until well mixed. Add in the vanilla and a few drops of the food coloring. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Cover tightly with foil. Place the pan in the center of the oven. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour. Uncover and cool for several hours. Cut into squares using a plastic knife and coat the mochi lightly with mochiko so that it does not stick to each other.

[mommytotwo]

What restaurants do you and your family enjoy?

[Pooh67_68]

We don't eat out a lot. And when we do its usually fast food.

[UrsulasMyHero]

We eat out nearly every day... We like: Pho Quyen (Vietnamese food), Mimi's, Perkin's, Boston's, Denny's, Luptons(The Best BBQ!), Chili's, The Chinese Take out place, Papa John's, Macaroni Grill, This list could go on Forever.

Yum, what do you eat at the Pho restaurant?

We don't have a family favorite, but we like Chinese, Japanese, and other types of foods.

I love me some Won Ton soup - It's different than at a Chinese Restaurant, and for the main course I usually have Braised pork and shrimp over rice vermicelli and vegetables. I love their iced tea too, it's Jasmine! Ian always gets nearly the same thing, but instead of pork & shrimp it's pork and eggroll. SO GOOD!

[pennst8r]

You guys are making me hungry!:)

I've got 2 sickies home from school today. DS6 had his tonsils/adenoids taken out on Friday so he's home for a week. (I'll be insane by then, so if the posts start looking a bit strange....) DS10 has a fever. I'm hoping they both feel too sick to bother each other.

I saw the post about the carnival games...and the goldfish. I always complain that those Carny goldfish you win live forever!

[AlexWyattMommy]

We have a lovely colorful pond. Thanks to those carny goldfish.

[pennst8r]

They must be the tough ones, to survive sitting in those bags all day. After that, everything else is easy!

Sounds yummy. We eat pho when we go to vietnamese restaurants or I sometimes eat the bbq chicken and rice.

[mommytotwo]

Sorry I am posting this late. We came home at one this morning, so I am still tired.

If you were able to experience a day with any type of animal-(dolphin, tiger, dog,....) to swim, do tricks, feed them, learn about them....what animal would you pick and why?

[mickeyfan2]

Dolphin. I loved when I have swam with them in the past. I would also swim with a whale or ride an elephant.

[Pooh67_68]

None, I am not an animal person.

[Pooh Girl 71]

I'd pick a tiger. They are beautiful, powerful and intense.

[UrsulasMyHero]

Normally I'd choose a Big Cat, but they're not treated very well. So in this case, I'd choose Killer whale, I'm fascinated by them.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'd pick bugs. Any kind of bug would be okay. I'm scared of bugs, so I thought maybe if I learn something hands on about them, I'd get over that.

[mommytotwo]

What household chore do you wish you would never have to do again?

What household chore do you wish you would never have to do again?

I am lucky, the chore I wish to never do again DH had done from the begining. Gotta :love: my DH I will not wash toilets.:scared1:

[mommytotwo]

Mines would be vacumming.

[Pooh67_68]

Cleaning the tub.

[Kirby]

Dusting is mine. I do not like to dust. Cleaning bathrooms is next on the list but if it's done every week, it's not too bad.

Hey guys! I'm a drill team mom now. Carol made the drill team. She's going to be in the band and drill next year. :faint:

Do you have any food allergies or dislikes?

[AlexWyattMommy]

No allergies.
But I'm not fond of brussel sprouts, liver, & non cooked onions. (but give me carmelized onions or French onion soup and I might even purr)

[ANTSS2001]

Do you have any food allergies or dislikes?

I have allergies whole year round... cant even see as we chat right now... pollen is killing me right now... also have the dander, dust, mold allergy amd also severe allergic reaction to EGGPLANT :eek: :scared1:

[Kirby]

No food allergies here that I know of. I don't care for turnip greens or uncooked onions. Not fond of eggplant or fresh bananas. But I do like banana pudding!:goodvibes

[Pooh67_68]

No food allergies that I am aware of, but a lot of the other kind of allergies.

I had beef soup with mushrooms once and got sick (for 3 days). Everyone else who had the soup didn't get sick. Don't know what me me sick, but to this day I won't eat mushrooms.

I am willing to try anything (food) once, but I don't like onions.

[mommytotwo]

I don't have any food allergies, but when we go fishing and if I sit on the lava rock, my skin sometimes gets irritated. It could have something to do also with the salt water :confused3 .

[pilikia97]

I don't have any food allergies, but I do not particularly care for pork- I'll eat it but don't enjoy it much. Juniper and cottonwood are my biggest identifiable plant allergies. :surfweb:

[pennst8r]

No allergies. But unfortunately, 2 of the kids take after DH and have them.

If a friend were to bake you something, what homemade baked item would you like them to make for you?

[Pooh67_68]

:wave: Timmy, good to see you. :)

[Pooh67_68]

Depends on the amount of time said friend has. If the friend has lots of time, a baked Alaska. (would like to try it)

If not a lot of time then a cake would be nice.


If a friend were to bake you something, what homemade baked item would you like them to make for you?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Any kinda of cake bread; banana/nut, apple/cinnamon, pumpkin, zuchini, lemon; yup, I'm not picky.

[mickeyfan2]

Chocolate chip cookies

[Kirby]

Depends on the friend. ;) Banana nut bread would be great or maybe snickerdoodles.

[UrsulasMyHero]

Peanut butter cookies... But with plain peanut butter.. and so they're crispy not chewy!

[mommytotwo]

Energy bars

[ANTSS2001]

Thank you-yuck :headache: .

[mommytotwo]

Say if you had a 4 1/2 year old girl who always wants to do this and that, and a boy that is 9 months old, love to put things in his mouth, is teeth-so that makes him fussy, and loves to always be carried...if you had to watch them for an entire day by yourself, what would you do with them?

My husband is going on a fishing/camping trip till Wed. so that means I will have the kids without him, but with the help of my parents. I wish I could go on that camping trip while he stayed at home with the kids and did things around the house :rolleyes: .

[Kirby]

I know what you mean Patsy. My husband is a hunter and heads off to the deer lease several times a year, sometimes just to get away. And where do I have to go? No where. I really don't mind that he does this but it would be nice if I could get away sometimes.

[Pooh67_68]

Lucky Charms, but I behave myself and eat Rice Checks.


What is your most favorite cereal?

[Kirby]

Hmmm, as a kid Cheerios was my favorite. Honey Nut Cheerios would be it now.

[mommytotwo]

My taste changes, but I usually sick with the kids like cereal. Especially since I am not a cereal eatter and we get things that my daughter likes.

[mommytotwo]

If you were to get a belgium waffle, what sort of toppings would you choose to put on it?

Those are very pretty :flower3: .

[Pooh67_68]

Lilies are my favorite. Don't get me wrong I love the roses, but I think next time I would like something different.

[mommytotwo]

I like all kinds of flowers, but I am really into wildflowers now since we don't have them here unless you plant them, so I would like an arrangement like this with an assortment of different wildflowers.

Fruit

[AlexWyattMommy]

Milk

Granola bars

[mommytotwo]

Milk
Veggies

[pennst8r]

Milk, definitely, considering the number of cows and dairy farms in this area!

I can't complain about produce, tho. That's one good thing about living around farmers!

[kimbac3]

Milk
Veggies
Fruit

Ditto! Although it makes me feel a bit better knowing the prices are high everywhere. Now I know my local store's aren't just marking things up.

Kim

[mommytotwo]

:sad2: I also think that the price of bread is high.

[mommytotwo]

Which Disney Channel t.v. star do you like the best, and why?

[Pooh67_68]

I only watch cartoons, on the Disney Channel.

[kimbac3]

Which Disney Channel t.v. star do you like the best, and why?

As far as a good role model for the kids (my daughters anyway) I like Raven. She's not anorexic and she's comfortable in her own skin. Me, personally...I don't know. I think my problem is my kids tend to watch the shows alot so know they all get on my nerves!!:rotfl:

I do enjoy Kim Possible, I wish she were real!! I even think Sheego is cool - in that cool bad "guy" way.

Kimba

[mommytotwo]

What type of veggies do you like to grill, and what types of marinades do you use?

[Pooh67_68]

I don't grill veggies.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I don't have grill right now, but used to love corn on the cob on the grill. Usually just used butter on everything.

[mommytotwo]

We like to make shrimp/veggie kabobs and marinate them in Italian dressing, fresh asparagus in olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced fresh garlic, grilled eggplant, portabello...

I agree, Patsy's sounds delicious. Me, maybe corn on the cob, that's it!

Bobbi:goodvibes

PS. I'm late about the place to live, but I would love to live in Scotland for a year!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Scotland might have been a choice, but I'm sure I would get sick of mutton real quick.

[mommytotwo]

Yum! What time is dinner?

:rotfl: 6:00. And what would you like for dessert? :lmao:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Why, fresh pineapple, of course. ;)

[pennst8r]

I need to get online earlier! I miss all the fun.:goodvibes

I've been so busy with all the end of year events at the 3 DSs school. Then DS6 had his tonsils out--that was 2 weeks of fun! :sick:

Grilling: I like to slice eggplant and sweet onions, zucchini (whatever looks good!) and only put olive oil, salt and pepper on them. I like to put them over pasta, too. Add some herbs.

Where to live? I'd love to live in England. I am just so in love with all the history, I think I'd spend all day visiting the churches and old buildings looking at the architecture.

Welcome Valdan!

Ok...I think I'm caught up now. ;)

[mommytotwo]

Why, fresh pineapple, of course. ;)

I'll have some ready ;).

Lynne, hope your son feels better :hug: .

What is your most favorite month out of the year, and why?

[pennst8r]

What is your most favorite month out of the year, and why?

I had to really think about this, and my answer surprised me! I'd say October, even tho I hate cold weather. I like when Fall begins and there's a crispness to the air.


Jake is doing really well, thanks! He was a trooper and ate and drank, so I didn't have to fight with him over that. The part that was hard was no school for a week, and no physical activity for 2 weeks! Thank goodness that's over with! :rotfl:

He's been a lot calmer, too. The dr said that sleep apnea from snoring and snorting all night could cause him to have been tired all day and act up. I'm not saying it was all tiredness, cause he still talks too much :rotfl2: but he's definitely calmed down.

[Pooh67_68]

Never thought about a favorite month, but my favorite time of the year is Autumn.


What is your most favorite month out of the year, and why?

[AlexWyattMommy]

I like September. It is warm in the beginning and begins to cool off towards the end, but there is still plenty of daylight to enjoy the daytime. Mums are in bloom and trees start to turn colors. Yup, September.

[bobbiwoz]

May and spring are my favorite times of the year!

Bobbi:goodvibes

PS. I'm glad things have calmed down a bit for pennst8er!

[mommytotwo]

My favorite would be December. It is the month of both my birthday and Christmas :santa:.

[mommytotwo]

What is your most favorite type of seafood?

If you are allergic to seafood or dislike it, what is your most favorite dessert?

[Pooh67_68]

Lobster Tail

Favorite dessert, plain vanilla ice cream.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Calamari

Ice box cheesecake

[mickeyfan2]

Australian Lobster Tails. Extremely difficult to find on the east coast.

[2princesscuties]

Shrimp & crab legs are tied for my favorite.
I do not usually do dessert but if it is The Melting Pot then I love the white chocolate amaretto! :woohoo:

[mommytotwo]

Shrimp popcorn::

[pennst8r]

What is your most favorite type of seafood?

If you are allergic to seafood or dislike it, what is your most favorite dessert?

I like seafood...just not fish! :rotfl2:
I don't like finding bones in my food. Again, the Eeyore cloud follows me, and I will get the piece of fish with a bone still in it. Even at Long John Silver's!

But, scallops, lobster, crab, oysters, etc....LOVE them.

[mommytotwo]

Since my daughter and I just made lemon muffins, and I now have strawberry muffins in the oven, the QOTD will be a breakfast related question.


What do you like to eat for breakfast on a regular work day, and also on a special family weekend like day where you have the time to cook a bigger breakfast?

[Pooh67_68]

I am a cereal junkie. Cold cereal though, I do not like cream of wheat or oatmeal. For a special family breakfast, pancakes or waffles.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I get to have the go-tarts, the boys eat egg sandwhiches or granola/breakfast bars most days. More time will give us corned beef hash, eggs, on bread with cheese.

[kimbac3]

For me, cereal or pop tarts. The kids eat the same except my DS loves grits! He makes his own in the microwave.

For big breakfasts, Eggs or pancakes, hash browns, sausage or bacon.

For me the best breakfast is the one someone else cooks!! Especially bacon, I hate cleaning up bacon mess!!

[mommytotwo]

If a chain restaurant were to come to your city, which would you want?

[Pooh67_68]

They are all pretty much around here, just not close by.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Most of them are within a 45 minute drive. I can't think of one we don't have that I would want. Except maybe Jack-in-the-Box.

[pennst8r]

Can I have a Target, instead? :goodvibes

We don't have anything right here, except a really good diner. But maybe it's a good thing Mc D's is 15 min away and so, not an easy dinner? :rotfl:

[mickeyfan2]

If a chain restaurant were to come to your city, which would you want?

Since I live in the country and we have not chain restaurants any would do. Now I would love a Qdoba or Quiznos.

[Pooh67_68]

Thought of one, the Melting Pot.
http://www.meltingpot.com/


They are all pretty much around here, just not close by.

[kimbac3]

Our nearest "food places" (fast food and sit down) are about 25 mins away. I'm ok with that distance because I live in the boondocks and I like it that way! However, I'd like to see a Cracker Barrel or an Outback Steakhouse in town.


Kimba

[2princesscuties]

Cracker Barrel

[UrsulasMyHero]

What is your most favorite month out of the year, and why?

October, I love autumn, And Halloween is my favorite holiday. It's also when I get to participate in Howl-O-Scream. It's a blast!

[UrsulasMyHero]

What is your most favorite type of seafood?

If you are allergic to seafood or dislike it, what is your most favorite dessert?


I generally don't eat seafood, not because I'm allergic but because I dislike it. I can't stand the stink of it. *shudder*:guilty: But I will, sometimes get a hankering for a McDonalds Fillet O'Fish or Long John Silvers platter. And I do like Red Lobster's Shrimp Scampi. So I will eat Some Sea food, It just can't taste FISHY.

My Very favoriteist dessert is a good key lime pie or Peanut butter icebox pie. OMG Squeee!

[UrsulasMyHero]

What do you like to eat for breakfast on a regular work day, and also on a special family weekend like day where you have the time to cook a bigger breakfast?

I'm bad, I don;t eat breakfast, even though it's the MOST important meal of the day. however if I did, it would probably be eggs and bacon. Or if I didn't want to cook i would do oatmeal and yogurt.

**hehehe, catching up with QOTD**

[UrsulasMyHero]

If a chain restaurant were to come to your city, which would you want?

RED ROBIN! I saw a commercial for it on HGTV and remembered them from California! Heck we already have Mimi's and "Panda Express" (not quite the same as the one in California, but close" though I'd LOVE to see a Baja Fresh or DEL Taco out here too. *Cries about Del Taco not being east of Arizona*

[Meriweather]

I am way behind!! Just got back from CA....DDIL is graduated! party: Now to pass the bar in July :eek:

Restaurants...one of my favorite topics!! ::yes::
Dianna....we LOVE :love: Red Robin!! We just got one about 12 miles from here (that is close ;) ). I live 10 minutes from town, so I consider anything within 45 minutes "close".
I see that one is going in FL soon, so maybe they will do more and one will be near you.
Del Tacos are in my state, but none close enough :(
I do see my their locator map they are in some mid west states, so they are expanding too.
We went to Melting Pot for DS's rehearsal dinner, but it is 50 miles away.


What do you like to eat for breakfast on a regular work day, and also on a special family weekend like day where you have the time to cook a bigger breakfast?

On a normal day I have All Bran Buds and either grapefruit or strawberries. On the weekends, eggs and toast.
I would like to have pancakes and sausage .,....and blueberry muffins (but I am trying to be "good").

What is your most favorite month out of the year, and why?

December....I love holiday season time!! Decorations, good food and family.

What is your most favorite type of seafood?

If you are allergic to seafood or dislike it, what is your most favorite dessert?

I don't care for most seafood. If I have it I want it breaded and fried and drowned in some kind of sauce....like Dianna, it can't taste fishy!!

Dessert......a good chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies out of the oven.

[mommytotwo]

Congratulations to your DDIL Nancy :cheer2: .

I would want a chinese restaurant called Sam Woo's to come here. Whenever we visit Las Vegas, we go there once or twice. They have yummy salt and pepper pork chops and mongolian beef http://bestsmileys.com/eating1/15.gif.

[Meriweather]

Congratulations to your DDIL Nancy :cheer2: .



Thanks, Patsy. It is quite an accomplishment.
I am going to AZ to visit them in July :woohoo: They just bought a house even though they haven't moved yet. Nor have jobs :rolleyes:

[Pooh67_68]

Welcome home Nancy. Congrats to your DDIL, :wizard: for the bar.


Dianna, as Emeril says if the fish smells fishy order something else. Fish if fresh should not have an Oder.
I have never eaten fish that tasted fishy either and I even like Sushi.

[mommytotwo]

When you visit WDW or DL, do you have any special things that you do during each visit? Ex.-Eatting at a certain restaurant, having to take a picture with a certain character...?

[AlexWyattMommy]

We've only been one time so far as a family. But our first night, we had dinner at the Rose & Crown and got to see the fireworks from our outside table. We decide then and there that would be our first night ritual when we go back.

[Pooh67_68]

MGM is the park we always go to first.
We always eat at Planet Hollywood and Rainforest Cafe.

[pennst8r]

When you visit WDW or DL, do you have any special things that you do during each visit? Ex.-Eatting at a certain restaurant, having to take a picture with a certain character...?

I can't say we do anything special. We have our favorite restaurants, usually I let the kids pick and Coral Reef is always at the top of the list. I can't tell you how many light-up cubes we have!

I just enjoy that first step onto Main Street---I always say they use subliminal messages in the music, because I'm just instantly happy.

[Meriweather]

When you visit WDW or DL, do you have any special things that you do during each visit? Ex.-Eatting at a certain restaurant, having to take a picture with a certain character...?

I enjoy it all!! ::yes::

We do always have to go have one meal at Le Cellier and one at 50's Prime Time.
Also have to see Illuminations.
And ride the boat between DTD and POR.

[UrsulasMyHero]

When you visit WDW or DL, do you have any special things that you do during each visit? Ex.-Eatting at a certain restaurant, having to take a picture with a certain character...?



Now you'll know the truth about me... I'm really not a fan of the Parks so much. :rotfl: i was employed by them (DRC) and loved booking people's vacations for them, and loved the "magic" I could spread, and the little bits I could tell them about (Where to sit for the best views of the fireworks.. my favorite places... etc) but I honestly CAN'T stand the lines. So I don't go very often. Right now I have 2 employee tickets that expire in 2 months, and I'm trying to find a day to use them. *sigh*

That being said, When I do go, I HAVE to ride all the rollercoasters. The trip isn't complete until I do. Oh and I have to have a Disney Rice Crispy treat, because they are, BY FAR the very best... EVAR.

[Pooh67_68]

Where can I find these? I want a couple to go with all my Disney stuff.


I can't tell you how many light-up cubes we have!

[Pooh67_68]

Oooh ::yes:: Nancy. A boat ride or 2 or 3 or.... :teeth: to Downtown Disney is always a must.

[Meriweather]

Oooh ::yes:: Nancy. A boat ride or 2 or 3 or.... :teeth: to Downtown Disney is always a must.

::yes:: That is DH's dream Disney job :rotfl:

[ADisneygirl]

We always have to visit DTD and eat at Rainforest Cafe, Wolfgang Pucks and Earl of Sandwich.

We always buy the refillable mugs -- use them all year taking my coffee to work!

No matter what resort we stay at, we always have to go over to the Boardwalk area and walk around, eat at ESPN and long for our favorite BWI!

At Epcot we always have to ride the golf ball ride (Spaceship Earth) when we arrive and before we leave. We also always go and send ourselves the free virtual postcard picture!

At MGM I must ride the scary rides a few times and laugh at how I look in the photos screaming.

So many "have to's"!

[ANTSS2001]

When you visit WDW or DL, do you have any special things that you do during each visit? Ex.-Eatting at a certain restaurant, having to take a picture with a certain character...?

- 1st day is a welcome visit to DTD... a meal or just simply sitting there watching peeps walk by...

-the last full day is always and solely dedicated to MK evberything from parade to rides to Spectromagic to Wishes... it has been a tradition...

If you were to add another room to your house, what type of room would it be?

*Hope everyone has a safe and fun 3 day weekend.

[Pooh67_68]

We were actually talking about this Patsy. We talked about having the house raised and putting in a basement and then finishing off said basement.

[mommytotwo]

Good luck with those plans, hope it comes through.
I wish that I could have a gift room. One where I can have shelves, closets...and have things organized so that I can keep track of gifts and things just in that one room. But my second would be a playroom since both kids things are all over the house.

[ADisneygirl]

If you were to add another room to your house, what type of room would it be?

*Hope everyone has a safe and fun 3 day weekend.

I would add a luxury bathroom with a huge spa tub and shower room with multiple sprays like I saw on some Best Bathrooms show on HGTV. Can never have enough bathrooms!

[Meriweather]

None...I actually need to take away rooms ;)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'd want to put a second floor over the garage. There would be enough room for two more bedrooms, bath & office. The office would be my scrap space and the extra rooms for when family comes to visit.

[mommytotwo]

What t.v. show are you looking forward for the new season to arrive?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Doctor Who

[Meriweather]

Csi

[UrsulasMyHero]

If you were to add another room to your house, what type of room would it be?

*Hope everyone has a safe and fun 3 day weekend.

If I had a house... It would have an additional *thinks* Either a really luxurious bath, with sunken lounging tub or a pool room - with a spa and pool in it. Me, love water? no, not at all.

[UrsulasMyHero]

What t.v. show are you looking forward for the new season to arrive?

CSI
CSI- NY
CSI- MIAMI
GHOST HUNTERS
Ghost Whisper
Medium
and
Dr.Who

If you were to make a new law for your state, what would it be?

[mickeyfan2]

If you were to make a new law for your state, what would it be?

There are so many where to start. I would prefer to remove many too.

[ADisneygirl]

If you were to make a new law for your state, what would it be?

That's an easy one:

First new law ~ child predators can not live within a few miles from an elementary school and the neighborhood they move into should be notified of their presence. (right now the law states not living within a few 1000 feet -- but I know a guy who moved in down the street from the school I work at who sits outside his garage every day when school lets out. Creepy)

Second new law ~ ban the sale of private fireworks ~ even for "farm reasons", which is how people get around the law. They scare pets, small babies, and old ladies. I hate hearing firecrackers and m-80 bombs going off late into the night for weeks on end around every holiday. Including today, last night and probably a few more nights until these fools run out of their buy one get three free deals.

[Meriweather]

Opps....we LOVE fireworks party: July 4th is our big bash....but we live in the country.

No talking on cell phones while driving!! Always got ran into...again :rolleyes:
Lots more, but that is the one that is annoying me the most right now.

[mommytotwo]

If you were to have a garage sale, what three things would you like to get rid of?

[Pooh67_68]

Right now nothing, we have pretty much gotten rid of everything we didn't want or need.


I didn't answer the last 2 QOTD, as there is no TV shows that I watch on a regular basis, and even if I could think of a new law there would be people still doing what is illegal and not enough cops to stop them.

[ADisneygirl]

If you were to have a garage sale, what three things would you like to get rid of?

old bikes in the garage too small for anyone anymore
2 old tv's
a collection of Barbie's in their boxes I have cluttering up my closet

[Meriweather]

weight machine

that's about it for now :)

[mommytotwo]

I have clothes that the kids had outgrown, baby things, and toys.

[mommytotwo]

If you were to take a cruise somewhere, where would it be too?

[Pooh67_68]

I would be happy with the Caribbean.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I just saw a cruise advertised that sails to the ports in Massachusetts. I love history, so this would be fun for me.
Now my children however, have been asking to go on a Disney cruise.

[Meriweather]

I've already cruised to Alaska and the Mexican Riviera.
Our next cruise is through the Panama canal (Disney :hyper: ). Really looking forward to that!!
I would also like to do the east coast one in the fall from Boston to Montreal and the Norweigan fjords.

[pennst8r]

My only cruise wasn't even a real one! I was a travel agent in NC and they let us on a Royal Carribean new ship overnight (I think it was Majesty) as a trial run for all the people working on board.

So, saying that.....I would take ANY cruise! :-) Probably a Disney cruise in our future, since we'd have to take the kids.

[pennst8r]

I just looked at your ticker, Nancy and got all excited thinking you would be in WDW when we were....but you'll be cruising, now that I look again.

[mickeyfan2]

We have never cruised and don't seem to have a desire to. I would think the first would be a Disney cruise. One to Alaska would also be nice.

[2princesscuties]

I think if we ever decided to do a cruise it would be a Disney cruise

[Meriweather]

I just looked at your ticker, Nancy and got all excited thinking you would be in WDW when we were....but you'll be cruising, now that I look again.

sorry :( Wish I was going to Disney....don't see that anytime soon.
That is just a little 3 day cruise to Vancouver Island, but it will be fun. I don't have room for my Disney cruise counter up yet :( After the trip to AZ it will be added.

You, know crusing never excited me until I finally did one. Now I LOVE them!! Best way to travel. Take your room with you....no packing to change locations and always so many fun and interesting things to do on the ship.

[mommytotwo]

We have never cruised and don't seem to have a desire to. I would think the first would be a Disney cruise. One to Alaska would also be nice.

Same here :).

What is your most favorite holiday to decorate your house for?

[Pooh67_68]

Christmas. :santa:

[mommytotwo]

I also like Christmas :).

[AlexWyattMommy]

Christmas with Halloween a close second.

[mickeyfan2]

Christmas is our most decorated holiday. Next would be Halloween followed by Easter. We also decorate for New Year's, winter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, birthdays, 4th of July, Summer and Thanksgiving.

Good morning everyone. Welcome to another month....don't forget to change all of your calendars.

Here is today's QOTD-
*What is your most favorite childhood story, and why?

[mommytotwo]

So I guess yesterdays QOTD was not popular huh :rotfl2: .

Let's see if today's QOTD will bring in more answers :lmao: .
If you were to recieve three different types of Disney trading pins, what type do you hope to recieve? And which three types do you hope not to recieve?

[Pooh67_68]

Patsy, I couldn't get on yesterday morning and by late morning I was at my aunts, no computer.

But I don't think I can answer the question anyway. Let me think on it.

[Pooh67_68]

Well of course I would hope to get at least 1 Pooh, but it really doesn't matter because I collect all Disney Pins.
There aren't any that I wouldn't want.



Let's see if today's QOTD will bring in more answers :lmao: .

[kimbac3]

My favorite story would probably be Winken, Blinken and Nod. I loved that one!


If you were to recieve three different types of Disney trading pins, what type do you hope to recieve? And which three types do you hope not to recieve?

Pins...3 I'd like: any Chip and Dale, any Pluto, Mickey as a chef

3 I'd not like: Hmm..Princesses (not my thing), Lion King characters, villian ones

[Meriweather]

I love park attraction pins ::yes::
I would like the new Nemo ride one (both WDW and DLR)
Also any pins from the parks not in the USA

I don't care for pins with Pooh :duck: , and ones based on Disney TV shows (like Kim Possible)
