Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[Colson39]

The buildings didn't move...so why wouldn't you have figured that one out? When Disney Inn became SoG in 1994, they simply changed the sign out front. No major remodeling was done until 2003. The rooms at the Disney Inn were the same as those at the Poly & CR-Main Building. Just different theming - no bigger or smaller. I've stayed at all 3 resorts. They were all the same "cookie cutter" designs. Just like WL, GF & AKL are all basically the same buildings, just themed differently.

Maybe Kevin would be so kind as to take pictures of his room at the GF and post them when he does his Labor Day trip report. I'd love to see the decor in those rooms. TIA, Kev!

Well, we went back in '92 I believe, and I just never realized that SoG was a renamed Disney Inn...lol. I've never researched SoG much, I thought it was just something new they had built back in the day.

Real men will never admit to liking cats!!! And cats dont mind. Thats what makes cats good people...they couldnt care less what you think of them, and if you dont feed them...they find their own food. We have one cat that only comes home for like a week every 2 or 3 months...what more could a pet owner ask for????

Did Gatordad just call his wife a loser and Rog delusional???? lol. Somebody ain't getting no love tonight....

I'm telling you guys, I'm confused as heck right now :/ Rog hasn't even answered a single thing I've asked...lol

[BigDaddyRog]

I'll never admit to liking cats......it just aint the way.

I did lose a one eyed cat recently though....I never felt the need to kick that animal even once.

The tomcat that only comes home for visits every couple months also has only one eye. I have 3 two-eyed cats as well. The oldest one lays against G's broken leg every night like she knows and is protecting it. Kinda weird!!

Rog....you'll never convince me you're anything more than a sentimental wuss even if you won't admit the fact that you're a cat lover!!

Now Donnie?? He tries to be an otter hater...he even contrived this story about otters running rampant and biting every person in sight. But don't be fooled...Donnie LOVES otters & Rog LOVES cats!! (So does Pete - but this is about Rog & Donnie - and no one else)

[Colson39]

Ive heard stories....Ive watched people bait him...Ive watched him drown in his own ego..........Ive seen him make a fool of himself and not even know it, but now......NOW...it all makes sence. He REALLY is as arrogant and disconnected from reality as you've all said. Ya wont see me defend him again!!!

Seriously, does anyone know who Rog was talking about here? He posted that right after a post of mine a few pages ago, he's ignored my question, and I even PMed him and he ignored me. I really hope that wasn't directed towards me :/

I'm actually trying to rent something at the Fort so I can be there the whole week!!! You guys have made me fall in love with the place and I haven't even been there yet! If I can't rent one, then I'll definately come over at least Halloween night to do trick-o-treatin' with the kids.

Has a night been decided on for the GG?

I've heard of Cushman-Wakefield, but not this company. They seem to be a HUGE commercial real estate investment company...as in NYC, Crystal City, D.C.... but I can't seem to find out anything else about them.

[LONE-STAR]

I learned 2 things today.

1. when you don't use a can of whip cream for a while it gets a crusty end and sprays out the slits on the sides all over you and the kitchen.

2. there is a water guide thingy on the ice maker that if it breaks it sprays water all over the freezer during the night leaving icicles all over it.

I hope I don't learn anything else today.

[kc5grw]

I can relate to the glowing in the dark. Years ago I was undergoing treatment for an eye disease. In order to photograph my retinas they injected me with sodium fluorescein dye. WOW. They told me my urine would be discolored, but I wasn't expecting the bright fluorescent yellow.

Oh wait.....

They must have changed the title of their thread, which confused the heck out of me, especially after they edited it after it had been there all day.

Sorry to confuse myself and everyone else...lol

[2goofycampers]

Ok what the heck happened. I had posted in a thread earlier today wishing someone a good trip that was leaving in 2 days. It's been in that thread all day.

I just noticed some post "Squirrel vs Crockpot" in my subscribed threads, and my post wishing them a good trip had now moved to THAT thread. In fact, half of the threads from the original person posting about their trip were now part of the "Squirrel vs Crockpot" thread, which was an entirely different thread.

Looks like the database is experiencing some hiccups again, except now it's starting to take posts from one thread and put them into other threads...lol.

I think the OP changed the name, it wasn't phrased as a question the first time. Get more responses this way.

[kc5grw]

I'm telling you, it was the otters.

[Colson39]

Yea, I figured that out once I started reading the whole thread again. Since I hadn't read every response, I started thinking I was in some weird Twilight Zone thread...lol

Oh, and yea, the otters too :P

I was planning on watching "Into The Wild" tonight but my DVD player broke, and Beth is watching Deadliest Catch while feeding Reilly, so I just got kinda hooked in here tonight!

[Colson39]

That being said, I have been on here too long tonight....lol. Beth is about to lay Reilly down, so I think I'm going to go read a book for a bit and then check out for the night.

[clkelley]

Howdy all!! Whew, what a crazy couple of days. We had somebody at work (one of my backups) quit over the weekend in a huff and my other backup has been out most of the last month with her terminal mother and was finally back at work yesterday.

So I've spent all day yesterday catching up my coworker, catching up with my boss who was only in town yesterday, and today trying to bring another person from a different part of the company who was brought in to cover at the last minute up to speed.

Then I also had to make sure all the paperwork on my time off was taken care of.

Then had to have an "official interview" with personnel cause of some of the comments made in the exiting employees resignation letter.

As much as I hate leaving the work that's going on to to others, I am SOOOO ready to be away from that place till AFTER LABOR DAY!!!:cool1: :cool1:

Now, I'm going to have a 2nd helping of dinner, as I've only got 3 more hours to eat :-)

Good luck Carol! Can't wait till you come back and tell us everything went great!

Shannone, living in a log home is fun, wait until one of the logs "checks" in the middle of the night. They pop so loud you swear that a bomb went off! When my wife and I first got married, a log right above the headboard of our bed popped one night, and I swear she was half way down the hall before I could tell her what it was. Loggies are fun when the weather changes temp a lot real fast, they creak and pop.

The DC power port on my laptop broke, so I am on the desktop and it is a dinosaur, so this really sucks.

What's all the excitement about with birthdays? I prefer to celebrate conception day. It marks the beginning of 9 months of the best time of our lives - nice, warm, dark, peaceful. You can pee and poop wherever you happen to be. Just floating around in your amniotic environment. Then comes birth - forced out into the cold, cruel world with bright lights and a bunch of people wearing masks and talking a strange language all around you. From that point on, everyone is trying to change you - you eat when someone wants you to, you have to learn to poop in a cold, porcelain chair at acceptable times, you are forced to learn the language so you can communicate and go to school. Then the work force - forget about that. No thanks, I'll celebrate conception day and the best 9 months of my life. No wonder some kids go past term.

KANSAS CITY—Royals shortstop Tony Peña Jr. expressed his long-held grievances Wednesday concerning the unfairness and injustice involved in not having a base of his own to cover. "It's not fair. Why does every infielder get a base but me?" said Peña, who has received two warnings from umpires in recent games to stop bringing out his own base to shortstop. "[First baseman Mark] Teahen gets to stand right on his very own base all day. And [catcher John] Buck gets to wear all that cool equipment and hang out by the most important base of them all. I'm stuck in no man's land, just throwing the ball to everyone else. This sucks." Second baseman Mark Grudzielanek later met with Peña to discuss a compromise in which both players would stand approximately the same distance from second

HATTIESBURG, MS—Quarterback Brett Favre responded Saturday to the question of whether or not he had any football left in him by announcing that he would return for at least one more season at a major college program. "I'd like to win one more championship before I retire for good, and Southern Miss, Tennessee, and Florida all have talented young squads that could make a real run to number one next year," said Favre, who has been recruited by several top programs but will wait until after Signing Day to commit to a school. "I know I still have a ways to go with my decision-making, but I know I'd be the kind of quarterback that could grow along with a program." Although scouts from several Division I teams are interested in Favre, they noted that he played an option scheme in high school and seemed noncommittal about maintaining the required 2.25 GPA.

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell....

[1goofy1]

The DH and I are going to the fort at the end of this month. We are only staying for a couple of nights and even though I know it is not camping we are staying in the cabins. I quess that a couple of days at the fort is better than none, but we are going to the fort in November and should have our trailer by then. :banana:

I do have one question about the cabins. Do they have an electrical outlet outside so I can plug in my Mickey Head Lamp? I too want to know where I get the free beer with my refillable mug.

[PolynesianPixie]

There is an electric outlet. When you find out about the free beer, let us know, ok?

[1goofy1]

Electric outlet that is great. My DH made the Mickey Head Lamp. I know it will only be a couple of days but hey and I can not wait to show it off.

I will let everyone know about the free beer if they do have it. :)

[OK GRUMPY]

Slow day??

[PolynesianPixie]

When camping trips are too few and far between.....backyard camping to the rescue! I've got my white Sangria, a cool breezey evening and 2 of my daughters.

g'night all!

OMG! I've had some wine....but I think the useless chit chat and 1400 loop threads just switched titles! :headache: I have a feeling that a certain moderator is having WAY too much fun at the FORT!

I think Scott has been drinking Kungaloosh while at the Fort! ;)

Seriously...hope you're having a great time! :thumbsup2

Sheesh. Don't you have anything better to do than run around switching thread titles and really confusing those of us are all too easily confused?:sad2:

[des1954]

I am old and confuse easily. If Scott doesn't stop all this nonsense, I'll file a law suit claiming "Elder Abuse"!!! I'm looking up the number for "Morgan and Morgan --- For the People"!!!;)

Hi Carol, welcome back !! Glad you are feeling up to joining us for a bit. I have no idea why the thread titles are changing...I'm just going with it ;)

[Born 2 Fish]

Hmmm,,,let's see,,52 billion or hostile take over. Decisions ,decisions.

[Shannone1]

We are headed out this morning for a week camping with friends. We usually let the girls take turns bringing a friend along. My middle daughter (12) and her BFF have been talking for months about the trip and are soooo excited. We are pitching a tent next to the motorhome for them so they have their own private space.

This morning the friend is dropped off and her mom informs us that her husband didn't realize they were sleeping in a tent and she isn't allowed to sleep outside. He is paranoid about his little girl. So the only way she can come is if she sleeps on the floor inside the MH.

Now I can understand a father being protective. We don't let the girls sleep out in the tent alone and we would never set it up somewhere where we felt unsafe. But the fact that they drop this on us an hour before we are leaving is upsetting. We have the tent/air mattresses all loaded and ready to go. I would NOT have let her invite a friend for a whole week knowing that we had to rearrange all of our sleeping spaces. So there will now be 2 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs sleeping inside the 36 ft MH. We CAN make it work, but it is a big inconvienance and I am annoyed to have this dropped on me last minute.

[Gatordad]

i'd head out of town past her house. send her in to get her bathing suit, then vroooom

I would have said how sorry I was that wasn't going to work out. I'm sure the daughter would've pitched a good enough fit that he would've agreed to letting her sleep in a tent. That IMO was pretty rude of him to do.

[Rhonda]

They are obviously not camping people! It's not like she was going to be in a tent, all by herself! Are they afraid somebody's going to come in the middle of the night and kidnap both the kids at once?

And, really, if somebody wanted to do harm, is a MH that much safer than a tent? If someone REALLY wanted to break in, they could very easily. :rolleyes:

Could you offer to let one of the dogs sleep in the tent with them? We always had our dog sleep in our son's tent at night, so he wouldn't be alone.

[AuburnJen92]

I agree with Rhonda...not campers...

I also agree that it was very rude, because everyone knows that they all discussed it at length before they got there. I would have said no tent, no go. But, that is just me...

[Millermouseketeers]

Good luck and I hope you have fun in spite of the bad parental decision.

[des1954]

There's just no figuring out some people. I hope it doesn't ruin the weekend for the rest of you.

Al just sent me a text message saying that Harps is good. DOH...does that surprise anyone here???

[Shannone1]

I knew my fellow campers would understand :goodvibes Many people call me overprotective too and I'd rather be safe than sorry in most cases. But I just think this could've been handled differently.

My 14 yr old dd offered to sleep in my 12 yr old dd's bunk so that the 12 yr old and her BFF can have the pull out couch We set up the tent anyway and it will serve as a changing room/storage space if nothing else.

It is HOT here !! And my first impressions of Mohican Adventures is not all that great. Our site is bumpy gravel and pretty narrow. The firepit is right next to the road and there is a big electrical box at the back of the site. We will make the best of it though as we do when life throws these curves at us.

Maybe after a couple of hours in the pool everything will look better !! :thumbsup2 If not it will be a long 8 nights !!

[kc5grw]

Anheuser Busch bought out for 52 billion. Is this true?
Yes. They agreed to the buyout by InBev. InBev owns quite a few other brands, http://www.inbev.com/pdf/AR07_GuideBusiness.pdf.

Now if they could only get rid of all the fillers in Bud and make a real beer. :rolleyes1

HOWDY, Frank!!

I have to go in to the office later today m'self & then run the sound system at church for a wedding (to which I wasn't invited). Oh, the joys of being a church administrator!! I gave my Pastor a gentle ribbing about being expected to do the behind the scenes work for the wedding, even though it's technically not part of my job. People just assume that the Pastor & his secretary are always on the job for them. Oh well...that's what they pay me the "big bucks" for. (yeah...right)!!:laughing:

[des1954]

Hold on to your wallets, folks!! CNN business news quoted economists as saying the economy will continue to worsen until late 2009 & then should start to turn upward. How much more can we take???:confused3

[clkelley]

Morning all!! Still hangin in there. I have been reading, but can't sit up too long to type much.

We've set up the laptop on a little table next to the bed so I can surf and watch DVDs, but using the keyboard for more than a few minutes is frustrating.

I can tell each day is getting better though.

I'm just glad to hear that little by little, you're getting stronger. Hang in there. Drugs are friends, not foe!!:rotfl:

Keep on getting better, Carol!

[BigDaddyRog]

Not much......but its good to know they are expecting things to lighten up by 2009! I was thinking this is IT!!! Things are pretty dim, and getting worse....but as long as their may be a light at the end of this hellacious tunnel, I guess I'll have to hang in there.

Morning all!! Still hangin in there.....I can tell each day is getting better though.

Glad you're improving, Carol...wont be any time before youre up & at 'em and making us all jealous of your organization skills and killer site set ups again!!!

[2goofycampers]

Tell Al I said "Hi!"

I got a text from VACAMPER in Gaitlinburg saying she was sitting in a hot tub looking at mountains {sigh} sounds like she is having fun!

I have always enjoyed a hot tub till someone called it "human stew" :scared: and pointed out the "germ factor":scared: . Thanks John. Guess I'll bring my own chlorine tablets from now on. :rolleyes1

[Shannone1]

I am ready to go home !! LOL.

High today is going to be around 90 and it is VERY humid !! The kids are all whining about the heat. The indoor pool is fairly small and the chlorine smell was killing us last night. The kids have to be 16 to go up there alone and I am not going to sit up there with them all day. My eyes were burning last night after an hour !! I told them they have to suck it up...the heat isn't going away. They can go bike riding, to the 3 playgrounds, hiking, hang out with their friends, etc. I will take them to the pool this afternoon for awhile.

Thursday morning (day before we left) my 7 yr old son woke us up at 5:30am because he threw up in his bed. Ewww. Had to completely wash everything and didn't get much sleep after that. He said he was better, but continued getting sick now and then all afternoon. Never had a fever or felt bad. By that night he ate a normal dinner and has been fine ever since.

Now we are at the campground and my oldest 14DD woke up throwing up this morning. Great :sick: She does NOT handle being sick well and has been moaning and groaning LOUDLY all morning. She has an upset stomach and cramps. No fever. Not fun to be trapped in a motorhome with 6 people and someone who is in the bathroom every 10 minutes.

The other three families are all checking in about 5:00 and I am hoping this is as short lived in her as it was for my son so we can all enjoy our week together.

LOL - we call it "people soup". We never go into public hot tubs (resorts or cruise ships), but if they're smaller, and not used by as many people, I don't mind as much.

[clkelley]

Anybody up?? I think my days and nights are mixed up.

Sounds like an "interesting" camping trip Shannone. Those classic buses look cool.

As far as a hot tub, I think any kind of tub would feel good right now, but I can't for awhile.

We are leaving for the cottage up north on Wednesday and DH went to the Dr. today and has pneumonia. Go figure! I guess I'll be doing the driving so he can relax and try to breathe.

[PolynesianPixie]

Oh Goodness! I hope he feels better and can enjoy the trip! I wish him the best!

[PolynesianPixie]

I think we have 2 useless chit chat threads now. I think I should put this in this one.....:confused3

I have a parenting question.

Do I coddle my children too much??????? Actually, that's not a real question, I already know the answer. Anyway...

My oldest DD is on a mission trip. She really doesn't like being away from home and only has a few friends that she will actually sleep over with. This trip is a week long, but it is local. I thought it would be a good way for her to give of herself, have the experience, but still be close to mom and dad. Plus, I sing for them on Thursday, Scott cooks for them on Friday. I did a hike with them on Sunday. Monday night I went and picked her up so she could sleep at home. Last night I slept out there with her (on a concrete floor~now that was restfull!), with the "deal" that she would tough it out the rest of the week. Well, she isn't feeling so tough and really wants to be done with the whole thing. I think she is working WAY more than she expected.

I really want her to be bold here, but I also don't want to turn her off to public service by forcing the issue either! I think this will be good for her. Teach her to stand on her own feet and know that life isn't always cushy.

What should I do???????

Keep doing just what you're doing - it'll work out.

You think so? I hope I'm doing the right thing. She is texting me like crazy saying how much she hates it. She might be mad at me, but I think she'll be proud of herself later.



BTW, how was your camping trip???

[2goofycampers]

Tell her how proud she will be of herself when she fulfills her commitment will be better than the feeling of coming home early and someday saying "I wish I had done that".

I think we have 2 useless chit chat threads now. I think I should put this in this one.....:confused3

I have a parenting question.

Do I coddle my children too much??????? Actually, that's not a real question, I already know the answer. Anyway...

My oldest DD is on a mission trip. She really doesn't like being away from home and only has a few friends that she will actually sleep over with. This trip is a week long, but it is local. I thought it would be a good way for her to give of herself, have the experience, but still be close to mom and dad. Plus, I sing for them on Thursday, Scott cooks for them on Friday. I did a hike with them on Sunday. Monday night I went and picked her up so she could sleep at home. Last night I slept out there with her (on a concrete floor~now that was restfull!), with the "deal" that she would tough it out the rest of the week. Well, she isn't feeling so tough and really wants to be done with the whole thing. I think she is working WAY more than she expected.

I really want her to be bold here, but I also don't want to turn her off to public service by forcing the issue either! I think this will be good for her. Teach her to stand on her own feet and know that life isn't always cushy.

What should I do???????

I think that the first time at doing this is probably the hardest and once she gets through it she' ll realize it wasn't bad and will want to do it again. I think it's great that you and Scott have been there for her. So many kids don't have that and that's why they get into trouble, kwim?

You are both so right! Thank you! I guess it shows that this is my first time with her gone too. I can be every bit as big a baby as my kids!

Ami, hang in there. One day she'll be glad she did it. As a mother its hard to let them go. I haven't let my DD12 join our youth group yet because they go to Granada. She's dying to join though and i think the trips coming up next summer so i might as well get over it. On the other hand my DD wouldn't even miss me. She'll stay anywhere.

She needs to come up and do this one! Despite Meija's issues, it really is a wonderful experience for the kids! Sometimes I cook on Tuesday nights and all the kids are tired, whinning, blah blah....but by Thursday...something changes in them. They are a tighter group and obviously more aware and sensitive. I really hope Meija makes it to Thursday! :laughing:

[ntsammy5]

Very relaxing. I'll post something on John's site and put a link here.

Oh Ami been there and done that, my dd did the same thing, I thought that was the longest week of my life and after it was all said and done " she said she had a great time " ...geez stress :rolleyes:

[ntsammy5]

I just watched a 5er pull about 1/2 mile onto the entrance ramp of I-190 - THE WRONG WAY. No one hurt (yet) but the police look like they're ready to start hurting someone! The idiot is having a real hard time backing it up now. My entertainment for the day.

I always tell my DD that she needs to finish out her commitment, and if she doesn't ever want to do it again that is fine. But she needs to finish what she started. It is hard, I always feel bad making her do something she doesn't want to, and is nervous about. It really pulls at the heartstrings, but you gotta stay strong. You are doing the best thing for her because she is learning to keep her word. If you allow her to back out, she will back out of everything when it is hard, or not as enjoyable. Hang in there Ami, the end of the week is in sight. Besides, just keep reminding her that she will see you through out the week. She will be ok, and like you said, may actually enjoy herself by the end of the week. Good luck!!

[clkelley]

I agree, make her stick it out!!

Hi seabee. Haven't seen you on in a few days!! How is DH doing??

[seabee]

He's doing great, thanks for asking. We go see the doc. on the 1st to see when we will be attacking the right side. Hopefully sooner rather than later, we have a trip to WDW in Oct.

I know, I haven't been around much. It has been nuts around here. Summer is busy for me because everyone has weddings and it's senior picture season. I have photos coming out my wazoo!!:scared1: I have been trying to get them all done before our camping trip to Rangely, ME. We leave Thursday, and come back Monday. Actually, I will be working-I'm photographing a wedding up there, but we are bringing the camper and thought we would make a trip out of it. It's a nice area, nothing to do but relax and fish. Just what we(or I) need right now. I will post a pic of our site, we are staying at Cathedral Pines Campground in Eustis, ME. I have been popping in from time to time to check up on you all!

[Gatordad]

Tell him to keep up the good fight.

[VACAMPER]

Have fun on your trip! We've missed you around here.

[Us3]

Have fun on your trip Nicole!

[ntsammy5]

Rangely Lakes? That's beautiful up there! Good to hear Jim is doing OK. Say hi for us all.

[Us3]

Nice....

Thank you all so much! My resolve is much stronger! She and I will BOTH tough it out! :laughing:

Nicole-it's good to hear from you! I'm so glad Jim is doing better! Have a wonderful trip and let us know when his next surgery is scheduled!!!!!

The thread name of the day

You all can run...........but you can't hide. Muhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[jrandtysmom]

OK I was away this weekend and came back to feeling really confused! I had these weird threads showing up but thankfully I think my brain is working again and I'm back up to speed....at least till the next thread name change. :rotfl2:

[PolynesianPixie]

The hike I did with the kids on Sunday is one we take all our out of town guests on. Everytime I go up there, it hits me how beautiful it is and how lucky I am that this kind of natural splendor is practically in my back yard. I thought I'd share.

The swimmin' hole:

Is there a campground there Ami? Man that's some beautiful land. Break out the oil tanker and I'm there. :lmao:

Ami that place is great! Where is that located?

[tungpo1]

Awesome pics!!! First thing I would do is jump off that cliff but then again it looks kinda shallow:cool1: then take my cart down that trial.

The closest campground is probably my yard :laughing:
There may be something in the Jefferson National Forest....I'm not certain. There is also the New River Junction Campground that is about 13 miles from it. My yards the nicest though :goodvibes

It's in Pembroke, VA. Cute little town!

It does look shallow...but looks can be deceiving! Under the falls is a ledge and then a drop off....I don't know of anyone who has actually reached the bottom!

As I was walking back after our swim, I was thinking a golf cart or 4 wheeler would be nice (one of the trails could handle a cart)! It would at least hush my kids about their blisters!

[clkelley]

Crazy thread title!!!

Beautiful pics Ami!!

[VACAMPER]

Ami, we love that hike too. I have a camera somewhere in the btm of the water. lol.

There's lots of great campgrounds around. Maybe not right next to it but close.

[des1954]

You think so? I hope I'm doing the right thing. She is texting me like crazy saying how much she hates it. She might be mad at me, but I think she'll be proud of herself later.



BTW, how was your camping trip???

Ami... let her go & back off on the texting.

Most kids HATE camp of any kind the first day or two. By the end of the week, they are crying and sobbing all over each other because they don't want to go home. I'm sure you're DD will be the same way.

Remember,,,, this is the same baby who, as an infant, had your complete and undivided attention. Everytime she even "coo-ed", you RAN because you just knew something was wrong.

By the time baby #2 & 3 came along, you knew better. You ran only when you sensed blood might be involved or they were too quiet! (LOL)

This is the same play, but just a different theater. (Like the analogy?)

Hang tough, Mom!!!

[des1954]

Scott is getting on my nerves with all the thread name changes!

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW????

[des1954]

Ha ha, Scott!! Shouldn't you be doing something....anything... of real value & leave us poor, innocent & all "Disney-fied" campers alone! I guess I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing "white-out"!! (Censoring myself in case any kiddies look at this.)

[ntsammy5]

Pete's made the last two changes.

make that the last several changes
