Uncle John Says: CYA Pg. 37!!!!!

[1gr8mouse]

UNCLE JOHN SAYS:

Hi all, I'm uncle John......some of you already know me, most of you dont......
Bear with me this is my first pre-trippie.........I have usually just hitched a ride on others....(the list is too long, you know who you are :worship: ).

Lets get all the basics out of the way first.......I'm a 44 year old chubby- happy guy......(OK, I'm grumpy at times, yep have the shirt)....(Sorry, ladies I know you were hoping for the 6'4" 185lb cut like a knife stud muffin guy, but I'm not!!) But most important....I love going to Disney.........It's my favorite vacation of all times......when I'm there everything is right in the world.......most of you know what I mean.......Its just good times..........:thumbsup2

The family consists of DW-42 (I think!!), DD-17 (pain in my ***), DS-15 good kid, Stepson-14 every moms dream kid (he is a great kid).
This is a 2nd marriage for both of us.......We have made it 11 years......its not easy at times.......I dont recommend step parenting to anybody!!

We are booked for Sept. 6-11 and are taking advantage of "free dining". As you can see by my siggie, we are not taking the kids.......WOOOOO HOOOOO
The 2 boys found out about our secret trip today......boy were they miffed!!! Oh well, we took them last August......they said they were bored at times.......Teens, too cool for the world.......but now that they arent going, they are mad........go figure!!! :sad2:

Here is the itinerary so far......5 nights at POP......(I might surprise DW and upgrade to POR, we would really like POLY but not in the budget now)
1 day park pass.......Where DW works they told her they might be able to give us free park passes.....yes I said FREE.........so we are going to wait a bit and see what happens with that.....

ADR so far: I need help with a few more.

Ohanna's- its a must for us :thumbsup2
Captain Jacks
We are trying to get into LeCellier....booked up so far....hoping for a canc.

We need 2 more dinner suggestions.....peferrably out of parks....We might just hang at the pools this trip.......drink a few totties.......We plan on hitting a few clubs at downtown disney at least 2 nights......

We fly in early Sat. morning (we wont do a park that day) pickup a rental car, should be on property by noon.....

Some of you ask "why uncle john??"........I have a SIL (Hi Nicole)(LOVEBUZZANDWOODY) on this site, I am Uncle John to her 3 GREAT kids........I turned her onto this site and when she was doing a pre trippie my suggestions all started out UNCLE JOHN SAYS: It just kind of stuck....
Some of you know me as UJ !!

So, with out any further.....bring on the help!!! Thanks in advance!!!

DIS ROCKS!!!

BTW, I will post pictures......(gets them every time!!):rotfl2:

[Tat2ddisneymom]

First!!

Okay, gotta read.

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Wow, I've never been frist on a TR before! I feel like I hit the lottery!:lmao:

Yay! for Disney without the kids! Do you have anything romantic planned with your wife? And YAY! for free park passes! That will be a real money saver!

How about one of the places at AKL for a dinner? I heard Jiko is really good, but it's also 2 TS credits. I don't know if you wanna do that. Are you looking to do character meals, or doesn't it matter to you? As OLD as I am, I still love the character meals. Stay away from Chef Mickey's for dinner. WCC is always fun. ESPN sucks. Planet Hollywood is good. I've never been, but my sister tells me HOB is good. Do you have any interest in doing something like Hoop De Doo or the Spirit of Aloha dinner? Oh, I hear good things about Kona, too. But, that's another one I've never been to. If I come up with anything else, I'll let you know.

I think you should upgrade and surprise your wife with it.:goodvibes

Tell Nicole I said hi and we miss her!

So, how long will I have to wait for those pictures???

You crack me up.....Congrats on being first!!

We have done BOMA, I liked it, DW didnt....too funky...
Did WCC last trip, liked it.....but probably not this time....Yes, ESPN sucks, I think Planet does too....We did the Aloha thing years ago, very good...WE did the Backyard BBQ too...... I dont want to burn 2 TS credits with such a short trip.....Ever been to any of the Boardwalk rest.?? I like that area....we go to boardwalk every trip....

Romantic??? I havent planned anything.....if we do POR, maybe the horse drawn carriage........come on ladies help me with this one!!!

Sounds like you've been to way more restaurants than me. I don't think PH sucks, though. The only one on the Boardwalk I've been to is ESPN and I was not impressed at all. My mom said she really liked Boatwright's at POR, but I didn't go there. Are you into something like Raglan Road? Its not up my alley, but I've heard both good and bad reports on it. I did always want to try the Big River Grille on the Boardwalk.

As for romantic - what about treating Mrs. UJ to a spa treatment at the GF or Saratoga Springs? You could always call the Disney florist and get some flowers or the rose petal turn down service:banana: . The carriage ride sounds great, and I would love for someone to do that for me, however, I am afraid of horses, so I'm not sure I would like it.:laughing: Not sure if its in your budget, but the cruises are always a great idea.

[1gr8mouse]

Wow, just tried to use photobucket.....got the door slammed...it kicked me right off line!! Will have to post pictures tomorrow (honest)......I will look into Big River Grille.......Thanks........
Goin to bed........CYA

[Trentmom]

SHARKY HAS ARRIVED






YOU MAY CONTINUE NOW



:rotfl2:

[Trentmom]

Do you both like seafood?

What about a meal at Coral Reef?

How about getting a diver to hold up a sign for you(It is free:) )

Have it say something like

......"I wanted to Tell you How much I love you, Just Because"

The Horse and Carriage Ride at POR would be romantic, too.

[mkluvsmickey]

Hi Uncle John! So glad you are doing a PTR! :cool1:

[1gr8mouse]

SHARKY'S IN THE HOUSE!! :worship: :worship: :worship:

Thanks for the tips Sharky!!! I have always wanted to eat at Coral reef.....
something about looking at all those fish, makes me hungry!!:)

I will never forget our very first trip to Epcot with the kids.....We had a ressie for CR. We walked up to the sign with the menu and thought "these kids wont eat anything here".......we skipped it.......probably went and ate chicen tenders some where!!! WOW that was a long time ago......before I knew about this site.....back when I got my info. from Birnbaums!!!
Most of you probably dont know about Birnbaums.....its called a book...has pages and stuff:rotfl2: ......Us old farts used them before the net was around!!!

[1gr8mouse]

Hi Uncle John! So glad you are doing a PTR! :cool1:

Michelle,
Thanks, I'm going to give it a whirl........see what happens anyway....
usually nobody gets hurt.........
UJ

[Leger13]

yay!! I found you. Great start to your very first Pre-TR :thumbsup2
I think it's great that you and your DW are getting to go without the kiddies. I think you should surprise your wife with the upgrade to POR. That would be so great!

As for the romantical stuff, my DH and I went to WDW on our honeymoon and we did the carriage ride at Ft Wilderness and had a great time. Or, if y'all actually like to ride horses you could do the horseback riding tour.

As for a romantic dinner, if you upgrade to the POR Resort I think you can do a private dinner in your room that could include flowers and champaign or something like that.

Anyways, Great start UJ!! Can't wait to see those pictures :thumbsup2

[lovebuzzandwoody]

NICOLE SAYS:

I'M HERE! I'M HERE! :thumbsup2

I am the aforementioned SIL..... sister to Uncle John's DW... YOUNGER sister I might add! ;)

I've been told I am not allowed to say "Love Says"... Uncle John thinks that would be... well... I'm not sure I can say that word w/o getting points, so we'll just say "weird". :laughing: So... Nicole it is. :hippie:

UNCLE JOHN SAYS:
Some of you ask "why uncle john??"........I have a SIL (Hi Nicole)(LOVEBUZZANDWOODY) on this site, I am Uncle John to her 3 GREAT kids........


Yes... thank you for this monkey on my back.... your BIL really appreciates the amount of time I choose the DIS over anything else! :rolleyes:

And thanks for calling my kids GREAT! :lovestruc Yours are pretty great too!


Tell Nicole I said hi and we miss her!


Hi Tat! :wave: I should be around a bit more now... we are officially moved in... now I just have to unpack all this stuff and find places to put everything. I hate moving! It's exhausting! :faint:


The carriage ride sounds great, and I would love for someone to do that for me, however, I am afraid of horses, so I'm not sure I would like it.:laughing:

Horses too? :lmao:

SHARKY HAS ARRIVED

Anyways, Great start UJ!! Can't wait to see those pictures :thumbsup2

Hi Carla! Uncle John is off to a great start isn't he? Makes me so proud... remember when he couldn't post pictures? Now if we could just teach him to put a ticker in his siggie! Oh, and a PTR link would be nice! Just sayin'. :rolleyes1

Hi love!! Glad to hear you are finally all moved in!! Hope the unpacking doesn't take too long. That's always one of the longer parts of moving :headache: Took us a few years to actually get fully moved in :laughing:

That's funny about the whole "Love Says" thing. Too bad. How about "Aunt Love" :rotfl:

Yes he is off to a great start! And yes I do remember those days. UJ is really growing up. **sniff, sniff* :laughing: Yes, a link and a ticker would be fantabulous. You can figure that out, can't you UJ?

[Beana9802]

Hiya UJ! I have an Uncle John, and I call him UJ or Uncle JD...but I thought it was cool that you refer to yourself as UJ

[mkluvsmickey]

Hey Michelle! How's that DIS trip coming along? Someday I will get caught up over there!


Hi Nicole! I miss you! Will you hurry up and get moved in already! ;)
We're saving you a spot in December! :cool1:

[1gr8mouse]

Hiya UJ! I have an Uncle John, and I call him UJ or Uncle JD...but I thought it was cool that you refer to yourself as UJ

KIMMY where are you ???????:confused3

OK OK OK....Nicole you can be Love Says.......I just said I wasnt going to refer to you as "LOVE"......I'm calling you SIL or Coley......:lmao:

We are all moved in... well, mostly. I still have some stuff at the other house but I have a couple weeks to get it all out so I'm trying to unpack some stuff in the new house before I bring more over. Make sense?

I would really love to go with ya'll in December but I'm just not sure I can swing it.... I dunno... don't give up on me just yet though! ;)

Now, what if I want to do that?? YOU STOLE MY NAME!!!:rotfl:


I didn't steal it! I had it first! :p



YAY! So everything's all painted and pretty? I don't blame you, I hate moving, too. I always lose things.:confused3

We painted 3 of the 4 bedrooms (remember Abby liked her dis green bdrm.) and most of the main floor. We still have 2 hallways and 2 bathrooms to paint... but no rush.

Yes, pretty much any big animal or small insect. And big insects and spiders....:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

Oh, and pigs, too.:eek:

You are by far one of the funniest people I've ever "met"! :rotfl2:



KIMMY where are you ???????:confused3

Perhaps Kimmy needs to be summoned via PM, Uncle John. BTW I pimped you out on Orangie's TR. :thumbsup2

OK OK OK....Nicole you can be Love Says.......I just said I wasnt going to refer to you as "LOVE"......I'm calling you SIL or Coley......:lmao:

[1gr8mouse]

Sounds like its going to be "Love Says" to me........

Ok, I have been checking out menus for my other ressies.......I think I want to try the Micro Brewerey at Boardwalk.....Big River Grille and Brew Works.
We like walking around the boardwalk, not a lot to do but a very nice area.....ESPN club and a few other shops........We could eat dinner first, walk for a hour or so then take the boat across to Yacht club and get ice cream at Beaches and Cream........How does that sound ladies?? BEER, I like BEER!!

Any one ate at Yak & Yeti...........yeti ??? :lmao: Menu looks good there too......photos of the rest. dont impress me much......It does have good reviews......

Have any of you noticed the menus are starting to all look the same.....
They seem to all have a new york strip w/garlic mashed potatos, slab of ribs, mahi mahi and some sort of a chicken dish..........Whats up with that???

How could you not go to the Boardwalk??? You can get there via boat from Epcot or Hollywood Studios.....Its a nice boat ride to break up the day at HS....not much goes on in daytime though.....but it is a good chance to see other hotels.....Yacht, Beach club, Boardwalk, Dolphin, Swan......You go by all of them......:thumbsup2
Its better at night, they have a few (like 3) carnival games set up.....Face painting, hair wrap etc., shops to go in, sometimes jugglers, clowns, bikes to rent, ESPN club is there!!!......At the end of the boardwalk they have a big building that says "Dance Club" on it......dont know it that is what it is or just a banquet hall or what.....
At Yacht club you can see the big pirate ship that has a huge slide that goes over the sidewalk to the pool.....its way up in the air....really cool.....

[1gr8mouse]

LOVE SAYS!
*Sigh* We'll see.... I'm kinda homesick. I'd like my sisters to take a little road trip and come see me! Can you work on that one for me?


I will work on it for you........I can even plan it for them......You know they are bringing kids right??? Mike and I need some guy time!!!:lmao:

Tat,
She got the picture.......so did Orangie........:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I think you all have seen it now..............I never really did talk to that lady, I should have asked her if she lived on the cruise ship.......
Dont know if you have heard of that or not but old people have found it is cheaper to live on a cruise ship than live in an assisted living community......you can live on a ship for about 35k a year......nursing homes and such are at least 40k/yr.... Not a bad deal if you think about it....all meals prepared, meet new people every week.....maid service, most cruise lines do your laundry for free if you crusie over 10 times with them.....They always have a Dr. on the ship............What more could you want???

hmmmm, I wouldn't asume you scared her off. I don't think she gets on DIS very often right now as she is busy a lot. She makes an appearance on Sharky's thread a lot very early in the morning but only posts on others threads when she has a bit more extra time. I'm sure she found the picture as hilarious as we all did if she got to see it yet.

P.S. Hi Love!!! We miss ya :yay:

[1gr8mouse]

Hi all 4 of you!!! HEY KIMMY WHERE ARE YOU???

Here is my updated list of our ADR:

Sat. - Captain Jacks, Downtown Disney, boat ride from POR!! We love it! ( I have to prepare for my retirement job!!)
.
Sun. - Ohanna's- Magic Kingdom this day...Monorail to Ohanna's, Extra Magic hours in the evening this day!!!:banana:

Mon. - Le Cellier- Lunch, Day at Epcot

Tues.- Big River Grille & Brewing Works- Boardwalk, Animal Kingdom this day

Wed.- Crystal Palace, Character Dinner, Magic Kingdom this day too!!

I know we are terrible, we probably wont do Hollywood Studios on this trip (my least fav. park)..we might even skip a day at MK and do a water park instead......We have 4 days of park tickets but we might just keep 2 of them and save them for another trip (they never expire!!!), that way I can plan another trip!!!

[1gr8mouse]

Here is the breakfast I made my sweetie for getting us the free park tickets!!!!! Her Favorite, french toast with texas toast!!!:thumbsup2

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii201/jph0730msp/100_2465.jpg

BTW, I'm going to slip in a horse drawn carriage ride in there somewhere too!!!!!!

[OrangeBlossom15]

Yay :cheer2: for ADR's !!

Boooo! :mad: for no Hollywood Studios !

Yay :cheer2: for French Toast !

[Trentmom]

that looks delicious. I wish my DH would make food like that for me. He made me toast the other morning and didn't even put butter on it :headache:

BTW, I'm going to slip in a horse drawn carriage ride in there somewhere too!!!!!!

sweet! You gonna do the one at Ft Wilderness?

[OrangeBlossom15]

OMG I laughed out loud at the toast with no butter.:lmao:

[Leger13]

OMG I laughed out loud at the toast with no butter.:lmao:

:rotfl: yeah, it's funny now but it wasn't so funny @ the time. I couldn't understand why he didn't put butter on my toast. I took one bite and looked at him all confused and said "no butter??" :confused3

actually, it is quite funny re-thinking about about the situation. I'm sure if I was an on-looker I would have cracked up :rotfl:

You should have said what the Heck, No butter?? At least throw some Jelly on it then............It was either Jake or Elwood from the Blues Brothers who ate "white toast, No butter"!! LOL Ask your hubby if he is Jake or Elwood!!

We will probably do the carriage at POR...I have a number to call at the 90 day point......they only do it a few nights per week at POR.....We have been to the campgrounds for the Backyard BBQ.....it was great there....and we went there on our first trip to go to River Country (old water park)....

oh cool, I had no idea they did that at POR. I'm sure the change of scenery for the carriage ride will be nice since you've been to the campgrounds for other things.

[1gr8mouse]

I was going through our cruise photos when i found this......
Look a hidden Mickey!!! It's called Chocolate Melting cake...Its a gooey brownie in a little bowl.....the waitress liked me so she gave me extra ice cream........actually she said she thought i was very skinny and needed some extra sugar..........NOT!!!

Nope, she doesnt know about the carriage ride either......its a secret!!
She is grumpy about Disney right now.....too stressed about the move!!
I ask her "what about this restaurant"?? Her response: "I dont care, you plan it, I trust you.....I'm not worried about that trip, it doesnt matter too me"......blah blah blah.............blah blah
She cant even talk about what parks to go to on what days.....:sad2:
Some people just dont understand our type (I think we here at DIS are the normal ones)!!!!:rotfl2:

[Tat2ddisneymom]

:banana: Le Cellier ROCKS! (at least from what I hear)

That french toast looks wonderful! Wanna come to my house? Tell the wifey I'm borrowing you for like 1/2 hour so you can make me some.

That dessert looks YUMMY, too! Where can I get me some of that!?!?!

I told DW today she couldnt come to my PTR, cuz I had some secrets!!! She wanted to know what I was up to on this site :lmao: ......I told her they were surprises for our trip!!! I also told her she couldnt talk to her sister (LOVE) about our trip..........she laughed.......

About my french toast.......I do all the cooking at our house......I love to cook.....I do all the dishes too (we do have a dishwasher)....DW does all the laundry.....she is the laundry queen :worship: .....I call the clothes hamper the magic basket cuz I throw dirty clothes in and BAM within a day or two it is all back in our room all folded and ready to go.......Hey, it works for us!!!:thumbsup2

I went to my stepsons baseball game today and met the lady who gave us the FREE park passes....I thanked her a dozen times!!! And she is the one who got us into Le Cellier!!!!! I thanked her for that too!! She told me she is in charge of Disney tickets for her company.......I told her I couldnt have that job, the co. would always be out of tickets!!!!

I told DW today she couldnt come to my PTR, cuz I had some secrets!!! She wanted to know what I was up to on this site :lmao: ......I told her they were surprises for our trip!!! I also told her she couldnt talk to her sister (LOVE) about our trip..........she laughed.......

About my french toast.......I do all the cooking at our house......I love to cook.....I do all the dishes too (we do have a dishwasher)....DW does all the laundry.....she is the laundry queen :worship: .....I call the clothes hamper the magic basket cuz I throw dirty clothes in and BAM within a day or two it is all back in our room all folded and ready to go.......Hey, it works for us!!!:thumbsup2

hah, yeah, if i was in charge of free disney tickets they'd be all gone too.

:lmao: hope she doesn't sneak on and spoil the surprizes

that's so cool that you and your DW have house chores worked out that way. Me and my DH are almost that way. I'm not very good at getting the laundry done fast but that's my task (along with all the other house cleaning) and DH cooks and does the dishes. I think that's a great way to split things up :thumbsup2

Love the cruise pictures UJ! Looks like lots of fun.

[Leger13]

I forgot to say that I love the pictures of the cruise. That ship is ginormous for sure!! I love the side shot of the ship. So cool :goodvibes

[OrangeBlossom15]

Wow great pics UJ! Makes me want to cruise again. We did a four day out of California for our honeymoon and it was so nice. Unfortunately, DH thinks it's a kinda been there done that thing.

Can't wait to see more ! :goodvibes

Love dollar dog. That is too funny. That is cool that they have a big flat panel tv over the pool to show concerts and movies. They really make you feel like you're in heaven on one of those cruises huh? No wonder that one lady seemed like she lived there....she probably did just for the luxury :rotfl:

Oh I SO think you should post it. I would get a kick out of seeing it again for sure. :laughing:

LOVE the picture of St. Marten!!! That just looks so heavenly. Dollar Dog looks so exhausted :rolleyes:

btw, I have a question for you....not sure if it was on your local news or not but last night our local news did a story on this girl that disappeared from a cruise ship. Apparently she was on a cruise to the Bahamas or something with her boyfriend. He says she was climbing from one balcony to the next and she fell into the ocean. No one has seen her since he says. Is the climbing from balcony to balcony even possible???? :confused: :confused3 And if a cruise ship lost a passenger, would they continue on to their port or would they stick around the area to search for the person??? The family thinks that the boyfriend did something to her and is lying. It seems rather strange to me that the ship would continue on with their trip w/o causing any sort of ruckus about the situation. I mean, losing a person is a big deal! Just wanted to see what your thoughts were on the situation. I'll try and find the story online and post the link.

Yes it is. That's why I was asking. Just sounds too odd

Oh yes, I think you should go to WDW for a day. In order to use her florida discount she would have to get the tickets a week in advance so like, now. I tried the same thing when I was there in March and Disney said in order to get the discount you have to buy the tickets a week ahead of when you are going.

Aw, crap! A week from today is next Friday and that is when I am coming home. :sad1:

I don't think I can justify spending the extra money on gas to drive over there and back and also pay full price for tix. :headache:

Yeah, I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to either. The only reason I still went in March was because I needed an excuse to get out of my friend's house. It was worth paying full price at that point.

[1gr8mouse]

Nicole, What do you mean you dont want to spend the money...how can you go that close to the world and not go......what is wrong with you woman??

OK here is the deal on cruise ships (yep i saw the news on the girl, sad).
They all fly a foreign flag (even Disney) to avoid taxes, work standards, immigration issues for employees & etc.
So, they dont really have any governing (government entity) body over them.....once they are in international waters anything goes....When you are on a cruise ship, they dont turn on the casino until you hit int. waters....taxes on stuff are more when in ports on the ship.
So it becomes the perfect place to commit a crime.....(sad but true)...In the case on TV now, the FBI comes in to investigate but they dont have a lot of authority over the whole thing...The cruise lines cooperate because they dont need the bad rap.......I dont even know what they have for security on a cruise ship. On the one we were on they did have guys with shirts that said security.....but what can they really do.....kick you off the boat at the next port.....big deal, you just robbed or killed someone.......
I'm surprised more things havent happened on them......
It's like the girl in Aruba who is missing (Holloway??).....what has really happened in that case.....people arrested for 30 days...then free....

In my opinon the girl got into a fight with knucklehead boyfriend bruiser dude who tossed her off.......he will probably get away with it too....The news said he claimed she was trying to climb to another balcony....she probably was to avoid getting slapped around by him.....the girls mother had photos of bruises on her from months earlier.....nice huh??

I think all the ships should have 24 hr digital surveillance all along the sides of those ships...so they could review them.

I think cruises are safe for the most part......I would feel more secure knowing a little more about the security training employees have on the ship....if any! Do they have any weapons training??? Do they even have weapons??

OK thats my take on that whole thing.........sorry to ramble.

Oh man, I had no idea her boyfriend was abusing her all along. Your theory is probably right then. I agree, they should have more security cameras on those ships since the "law" is so scrambled on there. I had no idea. :sad2: And as for the security guys, I would imagine they don't have any more training than hired security for concerts. They are basically just big guys that "look" like security so to make passengers feel more secure. Total bull!!

Maybe next cruise you go on you should ask the security guys questions. Or maybe ask someone that knows more about cruises, like a TA or something like that :confused3

Let me tell you something though... I decided to try a new route home from her house and I took I-4 over from 75 to 95... hence driving right by the World. It took everything in me not to just pull in there and find somewhere to stay! :scared: I called Tomato and begged him to just take off from work and meet us down there but we all know he is a stick in the mud so he said no.

Actually, they are moving into their new house soon... so they are busy as beavers (:lmao: ) packing!

John says he has some surprises for me. Am I going to like them?" :rotfl2: I think she already disobeyed and "talked" to me! I wrote back and told her that if he was planning surprises that she wouldn't like I would be the first one to be putting a stop to that! ::yes::

So I think I've reassured her to sit back and relax and wait and see.

That's funny that your sister emailed you about their WDW trip and the surprises that UJ is planning. Good way to not spoil anything. Hopefully you put her mind at ease but from the way you describe her that is next to impossible. I know surprises kill me most of the time.

wow that sounds rough. I can't believe there's no building permits or anything. I don't blame your DW for being :furious: . My DH would say the same thing about the guy not wanting me to have his number. Wives can be unforgiving :laughing:

Good luck buying all of your new appliances for your house. Moving in 3 days....wow! You are some brave people for sure! Hope it all works out for you. But a new house...that's exciting all in itself. :goodvibes

No need to thank....I'm having a great time here!! :goodvibes Thanks for doing a PTR to keep me entertained :laughing:

[Trentmom]

LOVE SAYS~

:rolleyes1 Where oh where has Uncle John gone, oh where oh where can he beeeeee? :rolleyes1

Actually, they are moving into their new house soon... so they are busy as beavers (:lmao: ) packing!

I have a wee little update pertaining to their trip though! My sister (Mrs. Uncle John) e-mailed me last week and said "I'm not allowed to talk to you about our Disney trip. John says he has some surprises for me. Am I going to like them?" :rotfl2: I think she already disobeyed and "talked" to me! I wrote back and told her that if he was planning surprises that she wouldn't like I would be the first one to be putting a stop to that! ::yes::

So I think I've reassured her to sit back and relax and wait and see.

(If you even knew my sister at all you would know what a complete oxymoron it is to use my sister and "sit back and relax" in the same sentence! :rotfl: )

Hope you are all having a great week! Tat, especially, I hope things have improved since the weekend! :hug:

Good Job Love. I Bet it was hard keeping that secret:rotfl:

[Trentmom]

Sounds like you have a lot going on UJ

Those builders don't ever want to mess with a woman...:lmao:


I hope it all comes togther for you fast.

We want to see pictures of new house


or at least I do :rotfl:


Good idea about having Love and her kids come down for a few days:goodvibes

[1gr8mouse]

We looked at a lot of appliances last night.......We will probably buy them at Lowes.......

Quick story on DW!! Please laugh with me, I dont ever laugh at her..she gets very upset if I do!! (Love knows).......:goodvibes

DW doesnt cook much, I do 90% ofl the cooking....I love to cook so its fine with me....

When we first were married she got up one morning to cook breakfast...I came in the kitchen and she was going to cook bacon and eggs....well, she started cooking the eggs first!!......I knew right then and there I was going to be doing all the cooking!!!.......

So, last night we were looking at stoves.....she called me over to one and said "look at this one it also has an element on the top inside".....I looked at her and said "Honey, that would be called the broiler, they all have one of those!!"........She said "I didint know that, that's why you do all the cooking"...She decided I should just pick out the stove myself......!!! I love her crazy but sometimes she has a real blonde moment!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[1gr8mouse]

This is the house we just bought.....or we will officially move to in about 3-4 weeks....if everything goes right with the people buying our house.....
We are excited.......Its brand new......We will have to grow grass!!!

Sorry, I tried to shrink it down....but I posted it somewhere else already and photobucket wont let me shrink it now........keeps kicking me off the net when I try...

Sharky, Here it is...(It was on page 2.....way back when my PTR was just a baby PTR!!) I will post some interior photos later this weekend...we will be over there cleaning today and moving some stuff in Sunday.....

1950 sq. ft, 4 Bdr. up, 2 1/2 bath, living room, family room w/gas log fireplace, kitchen w/island, dining area, full basement w/garden view windows, deck out back...
small lot (85' X 155') but that is fine with me....less to mow!!:thumbsup2

It is on a new street, 5 houses so far....will have appxox. 20 when completed....The trees/woods you see now will all probably be gone when new homes are built.....a street with houses will be behind us......kind of sad because right now we have deer in the back yard!!

It's perfect for us.......2 blocks from the high school..boys can walk home....
I like it because the boys bedrooms are big enough (10X12) but not too big that they want to live there forever!!! (I know ladies, I'm mean.....) Mommies dont think that way!!!:lmao:

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I can't believe you didn't go. You are a much nicer wife than I am. I would have called mine from Magic Kingdom and said "Guess where I am?" :stir:
Me, too!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: I was just talking about something similar (well...kinda???) yesterday with someone I work with. He was saying he just got divorced, but when he was married he could never get a tattoo because his wife wouldn't let him. I was like....WHA...?? I never ask, I just go home with them. Too late then to say anything, right?:lmao:


Nice. I would throw them back. Or better yet everything she throws you get to keep. I hope it's something good. ;) Don't feel bad....my DD is just starting to get the flip mouth. Oh how I can't wait for the teenage years. Sigh.

OMG, she was SO bad yesterday. She's finally understanding what its like to have a mom who doesn't put up with ANYTHING, and she doesn't like it. I have to tell her to do things 15 times, and fight with her before she'll do it. I WILL break her of that before her teenage years. The night ended with her hitting me, and I blew up. :furious: <--This was me for real!

[Tat2ddisneymom]

UJ...

Looks like things are moving along with the house. Sorry you're having problems with the builders.:furious:

:rotfl2: The stove story was hilarious. Does DW know you're making fun of her cooking skills on the internet?

Too bad they're building so many other houses around yours. It would be nice to have trees as your view instead of the street. I'm not too sure about the deer, though. EEK!!:scared1:

No, mommies don't think that way. I do, however, have a daughter I would love to send to a convent or something for the next 15 years or so.

Hi Uncle John! Finally caught up here - I've been slacking on my tr reading lately.

:rotfl: that is too funny! I guess it's a good thing that my DH cooks here too 'cause I have no idea why you wouldn't cook the eggs first :confused3 or maybe as the same time as the bacon? :laughing:

I know but it is soooooo good.

No really, we always wondered how restaurants got there bacon to look all curly and perfect, so we were at a really nice breakfast buffet (Hilton or something) and my DH asked the guy behind the table. He said oh we deep fry them. So we tried it and Voila! a perfect piece of bacon. Not too burnt, not undercooked and all curly. Mmmm bacon. Oh Cheri..:rolleyes1

I love her crazy but sometimes she has a real blonde moment!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

OMG! And she makes fun of my other sister for always feeling like she is driving north. For the record... I know how to cook.

Sad that you are laving the home you have known for the last 14 years but I'm sure you'll make lots of great new memories in the new house :goodvibes Here's to only having happy times in the new place!

omg that is crazy about the bear!! Silly people getting angry at the police for taking care of the problem. Everyone just seems to hate ::cop: They don't realize that their job is to protect the citizens. Tickets are bull but sometimes they get lucky with traffic stops and catch a really really bad guy so it helps in some respects. People just need to get over it and realize that if that bear wasn't killed it probably would have killed one of their children. Geez!

I am back up and running DIS'ers !!! And you know what......moving really sucks....I mean it sucks!!!!! I hated every minute of it......We rented a big Ryder truck......4 frickin loads of stuff.......And stuff is a nice term!!! Next time I would have a 5 yard dumpster delivered to the house and start pitching it in!!!!
The Hot tub was a night mare!!! 6 guys and we had all we could do to move it.......$200 to move it by the pool company would have been worth it....
We scratched it, cracked the side board on one side.......pain in my keister!!!

We bought all new appliances........had them delivered......fridge wont open..it fits in the hole but you cant open the freezer side all the way....hits the wall.....so back to the store, return it, order same fridge only smaller.....wont be in until next week......we have an old fridge we keep in the garage for pop & beer (I like beer!!) & misc. stuff.....

We moved our washer and dryer (about 8 years old) and I started looking at them and how beat up they looked.....I wheeled them off the truck and told momma go to Lowes get new ones.......I'm not putting this junk in the new house!! We ordered them today....at least 1 week to get....so my boxers might start to get a little ripe!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
Momma picked out the new upright ones......black.....she is very excited...
(yes my sweetie gets excited about a washer and dryer!!)

We have found a lot of little things wrong with the house.....Im not too happy.....my sons top window falls down when you unlock it....about 7 inches.. it has to be adjusted......2 shingles falling off the top of the roof...I looked at them....no nail holes in them......which means they werent nailed...not happy about that.....The air conditioner hasnt been charged with freon......so the house is very hot.....and not all the screens are here...(they have them on order) so we cant open all the windows........:furious:

I think it will all work out.....just take some time......

It was tough today, we did a final walk through of the old house....cleaned up a few final things.....left the keys in the mailbox......we got in the minivan and I looked at momma she looked at me and we both broke down.....it was very sad.....we watched our kids grow up in that house....lots of fun times there!!!!

Oh well, off to a new adventure......kind of like a new ride at the world for the first time.....you never know what to expect!!!!::yes::

I hope all is well with all of you!!!! :thumbsup2

I can't believe they left shingles un-nailed and you don't have all your window screens AND the AC isn't charged with Freeon :furious: :furious: :furious: I hope everything is up and running soon!

At least your internet is working. Now, when do we get to see pictures of the inside!?:bitelip: :bitelip: :bitelip:

Wow, sounds like a nightmare. I can't believe you scratched the hot tub! And I would be excited about a new washer and dryer, too. And for the next week, you'll be going to the garage a lot!:headache:

[MickeyCrazedMom]

Hey Uncle John! I have been reading along, just not posting. Life is busy with a 3 month old, 4 year old and 5 year old. :faint: When we built our house 8 years ago we found lots of little things wrong after closing. Keep on them because they seem to forget about you once you close. Good luck!

I hadn't heard that story here in Detroit about the bear. Our news coverage goes from the mayor scandal, to the Red Wings, back to the mayor!!

BTW - I would be thrilled to pieces to get a new washer/dryer and would cry my eyes out leaving my house. I get very sentimental about those things!

Can't wait to hear more.

I posted this over at Sharky's but decided to post it here too... just in case UJ doesn't make it over there anytime soon.

We are trying to adopt a puppy! We've been approved by the rescue and are having him come for a couple days starting Monday to give it a trial run. They like to do this so that we are sure he's the right dog for us and that we are the right people for him.

We went and played with him this morning and Mama Love is in :love: with this dog!

Here he is!

His name is Tank for now... that is subject to change though. :rolleyes1 They called him that because he reminded them of a little tank engine. He is (we think) a lab and basset hound mix and is 5 months old. He is the cutest thing I ever saw! :lovestruc :lovestruc :lovestruc

The house looks awesome! Too bad they can't get their crap together with the appliances. I would be so :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: !!!!

You would think wouldnt you?? The frig will be on clearance I'm sure. Nothing wrong with it...just didnt fit.....I dont know about the washer...could be problems with that (big time dent in back & side)!!

Lowes doenst do crap about retail fraud or shoplifting either.......they dont press charges on any one.....A big builder in my city was caught stealing a bunch of stuff....they didnt do anything about it.....had him on video and everything!!

I stood in line behind a guy who was buying the same Dewalt drill ($300) I was buying......The checkout lady said "wow, you are getting a good deal on that". So when I got to the register she told me he got it on clearance for $125...told me where he said he got it...I went and looked.....nothing, I went to the tool dept. counter and told the mgr. about it.....he said we dont ever clearance out Dewalt drills!!! We went over to the checkout.....the lady said someone crossed out the bar code with a black marker and wrote $125 on the box...she did an over ride on the price.....
The guy from tools was pissed......but they didnt want to do any more about it than that.....didnt want to review cameras, reciepts....anything.....I dont know how the store makes any money with stuff like that goingon....

She wont go back to Boma (AKL) or even try Jiko- The cooking place.....
BIG BABY!!! Whisp. canyon rocks, but we would prob. want kids with us....um, like my niece and nephews!!!!!!!:rolleyes1

Lowe's can kiss my butt!! I was buying some drain pipe yesterday.....I was having trouble keeping it on the pull cart....the girl goes "do you need some help with that"....kind of like I was a moron or something......I said "No, but you could go help the loading dock people, they cant seem to deliver a appliance without it being smashed to smitherines"!!!

OK, some of you dont know this.... but, I work for a law enforcemnt agency in MI....I am on the Highway all the time... This happened to me the other day......get your kleenex ready....

I was on a motorist asst. when a lady pulled up to me and said "you need to go back north and help a little old man out...he is broke down......he must be 85 years old....please go help him".....So, off I go....

I found a 1995 Dodge Caravan with the four ways on, hood up....little old man jumps out...I get out of my car and tell him to please stay in your car....I ask him what is wrong......he tells me his van keeps overheating....wont start.....So I get the info. and call him a wrecker....
This guy is 90 years old, clothes are a mess....yellow stuff all over them.....I look in the pass. seat and see a huge tub of cheese balls (like cheese curls)..he's got that stuff all over him.......I just chuckled.....

The van is packed full of stuff.....I mean everything......I ask him where he is headed....he said "back home to Grand Rapids, I'm orig. from there, been retired living in Florida for 20 years". He asks me to stay there with him until the wrecker comes....I tell him sure.....no problem......He goes on to tell me he is moving back to GR to live with one of his kids....he had 6 kids, 19 grand children and 42 great grand children....He proceeds to tell me about his life.......politics, religion, unions, young people etc....just a great guy.....he had a trailer in the Tampa area...sold it all .....(Basically, he is coming home to die).

He gave me a phone number for a daughter in GR, I called her and when she answered I told her who I was and where I worked, she started screaming.."is he all right"?....I told her he just broke down....he would be home late..I let her talk to him........(all on my cell of course, my depart. cant afford squat)

He then tells me you know why I have lived so long?? He then tells me because of his wonderful wife......she died 10 years ago......He reaches in to his shirt pocket and pulls out some papers, thumbs threw them and locates a photo of his wife...he holds it up and says "Isn't she beautiful", he then looks at it and starts crying.......he told me she passed about a week after the photo was taken.......man, it even got to me.........I had to go back to my car for a minute.....big tough guy cant be getting all flubbery on the road!!

We talked a bit longer and then the wrecker arrived.......I pulled the wrecker driver aside and said "hey, this old guy is going home to die, take it easy on him......he asured me he would be fare with him......

The old guy got out of his van to get in the wrecker, he came up to me and gave me a hug.....said "thanks for staying with me".......

You just dont see stuff like that anymore.......:)

THanks a lot



I thought for sure it was going to be a joke



Now I really have to go and get my kleenex


:sad1: :sad1:


Did you tell your wife that story?

I know you don't bring your work home when you are a ::cop: , but I am sure she would love to hear that story:goodvibes

You know what else we don't see anymore... guys like you that would stay with him and really listen to what he had to say. My dad would've been proud of you today, John. I really, really mean that.


Also... did you get cheese all over your uniform when he hugged you? ;)

LOVE CRIES!!!


:( We might have to cancel our cruise. :sad1: Abby's middle school called today and a class that she needs to take is only offered on another track (which is basically another schedule) and we have no choice but to switch. This means we are not off at the same times we were going to be. I didn't think it was a big deal until I looked to see about making it a month sooner and there IS NOT a cruise when I need it. :sad: :sad: :sad:

Our choices are as follows:

1. Leave it and take the kids out of school ~ which I really don't like because Abby misses enough school due to her asthma.

2. Go in April or July to the tune of :scared1: $12,000... for the same cruise that we have booked for $5522..... I think NOT! :furious:

3. Go in Jan. for $1000 more than what we have booked now. I thought, hey, that is not bad. Tomato thinks differently. :headache:

4. Scrap the cruise and just go to Disney. :( We could do this and then schedule a cruise for the following year I guess. But that really bums me out.


WHAT WOULD Y'ALL DO??????????????????????

I would go for choice number 4, and try for a cruise the next year. Cruises will always be there. And going just to Disney isn't a bad thing.

You actually eat those things?:faint:

Well, if you'd come over to Sharky's new thread, you could party with the rest of us and you'd know where we all are!;)

I really hate to say it but I think this may be what we do. Our DU agent is checking dates and I'm not seeing anything I like time-wise and more importantly price-wise. :(

HEY UJ..... when do y'all wanna go next year? Let's have a grand gathering, shall we? ::yes::

Ok I just pictured someone sitting in their car, the police officer is walking up, they start to say "Officer...I really wasn't speeding..." And they crack up at the site of the police officer standing there with cheese doodle dust all over his uniform :lmao:

I'm so sorry Love. I say GO TO DISNEY! :thumbsup2

Now that sounds like a plan! :thumbsup2

Can I come, too???

Since UJ is obviously busy I'm going to hijack and take a poll! :teacher:

Which month would you rather go to Disney and why~

1. January
2. April
3. July
4. October

Furthermore... which of those months would you NOT go and why?

(Okay, July seems an obvious month to NOT go but maybe some feel differently. :confused3 )

Hm... if I had my choice I guess I would say 4. October. Reason - less busy and the not so scary party. January would run second. I'm not much for waiting in ridiculously long lines.

Congrats on Tank!!!

House Update; Lowe's still cant get it right.......we finally got the microwave for over the range, our final appliance........opened it up this morning to install.......it was broke, had been dropped.......door was cracked, corner was smashed in.....incredible......2/6 appliances damaged and had to be returned......

Trip Update- we still need one more dinner ressie.......dont know where to go....we thought about Whisp. canyon......we have done that.....we want to eat at a resort.....any suggestions???

Where is everyone??? Must be the summer months......everyone is outside and loving it!!

I've been MIA due to lots of craziness. My DH and I just got a Motorcycle so we've been enjoying the heck out of it. I have a quilt retreat to get ready for that is coming up FAST. End of July to be exact. I have so much to do to get ready for it. I've been gone off the DIS so much that I'm even slacking on my own PTR!

I think that is a great story. How nice of you to stay with the old man and talk with him and such. And that is SO sweet that he hugged you just before he got in the wrecker. Thanks for sharing. It's not often that you hear things like this anymore

LOVE CRIES!!!

WHAT WOULD Y'ALL DO??????????????????????

I knew I missed something somewhere when you mentioned canceling your cruise on Sharky's thread. I'm really sorry you have to do that. If it were me I'd probably chose option #4 too. The cruise will always be there and there are lots of updates at WDW for you to look forward to :hug:

The only month listed that I would NOT go is July. Too hot and too crowded. October is fabulous. Nice and cool and very low crowds and also MNSSHP!! :thumbsup2
