CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW????

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.)

[kc5grw]

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???????

Definitely have her stick it out. It builds character as they say. It may be tough work, but I really think in the long run she'll probably appreciate the fact that she stuck with it. She may even end up with a new appreciation for how helping others can be really satisfying.

My DDs get involved in any of the mission related activites our church has and our budget will allow. They have never had any issue with being away from home or doing the work. Our church has a work camp every summer for JR HIGH in which the kids spend a week painting/cleaning/yardwork in low income neighborhoods. My oldest DD did this both in 7th and 8th grade and even this year even though she's now in high school. Our youngest DD would have also done work camp, but she had to take summer PE so she could do 2 electives (band and choir) in 7th and 8th grade. Our church also does a mission trip for our kids at the end of their 8th grade year where they spend a week in Washington D.C. working with the homeless. They work in a soup kitchen, spend time with the homeless in parks, do a ton of walking. They come back absolutely worn out, but if you ask any of them if they would do it again they say, "YES!".

Yeah yeah.... that's YOUR story & I know you're gonna stick to it.
Actually,,,I discovered the REAL culprit. I just can't prove it!! Someone said he resembled a "Pwetty Pwincess"! I think he looks more like an otter!!

Yeah, you all know better than me. I talked to her a little while ago, and I think she actually had a pretty good day. I am going to go out there to sleep tonight, but this will be the LAST time. I'm also stealing her cot. If I'm going to come out there for her, she gets to sleep on the floor!:laughing:

I'm so confused, my head hurts. You all are CRAZY! I have been scrolling up and down looking for this thread!:lmao:

Polypix and/or VaCamper....what is the weather like there now? I need a get away and my family and I might just pack the camper and go! btw, WAY back in the day dh use to guide on one of those rivers close to you guys (i think its close anyway). I'll have to ask him the name, but I remember him saying something about a gorge, new river and an incredible bridge???

Anyway, is it sunny and hot there too?

[VACAMPER]

It's been in the upper 80' and lower 90's. Today is a little cooler, we finally got some much needed rain last night.

The New River Gorge is in W Va but not that far from us. The bridge is amazing. Come on up. we'd be glad to have ya.

Thanks for the info! Do you have any recommendations for places to camp? I'm not sure if this is going to happen...but a get away right now is just what we all need before school starts in 2 1/2 weeks!

[VACAMPER]

Do you have an exact area your looking at? Close to the Gorge or maybe along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Alot of people love Fairystone State Park. I like Goosepoint Campground thats on the same lake. My kids love Lake Ridge Rv resort. It has alot for kids waterslides, paddleboats, karaoke and Bingo nights. I've never posted links, Ami can probably do that for you.

That sounds awesome!! I keep saving these places you guys post so we can visit them eventually. I just spoke with dh and he suggested we stay further down this way in the mountains. :rolleyes: ...so we can maximize our relaxing time. Makes sense though. So we may end up somewhere near Asheville NC. I'm researching campgrounds now...so if y'all know of any, please let me know!! This will be our end of summer (last minute) get away! :thumbsup2

When we drive to Charlotte that's a must stop place. Great overlook! I'd like to raft there sometime.

[VACAMPER]

I'm not sure how far Ashville is from Ashboro but, The NC Zoo in Ashboro is awesome. It might be worth a day trip for your kids. It takes an entire day to go through.

[VACAMPER]

I haven't rafted because I panic in water but i watched my friends video and it looked like they all had a blast. Maybe one day i'll get my nerve up. I doubt in though i about had a panic attack in one of those water tube slides at splash country last week.

[ntsammy5]

I found this to be interesting. It looks like the economy is having a big affect at Disney.



I've posted this elsewhere.. but I think this answers the OP's question pretty resoundingly..

WDW Resort attendance which is usually at LEAST around 87% for the first three weeks of July (and sometimes in the 92-95% range.. ) ... is hovering around 65% occupancy for the first three weeks of July.

Normally certain resorts are sold out this time of year and for the past three weeks, they haven't even been using all the available buildings .. Now the sources I have who are very well placed to know these numbers do indicate that the attendance picks up a bit next week.. but still doesn't crack the 80% occupancy level.

For this time of year.. that's bad... bordering on disastrous. June & July are Disney's 'bread and butter' months to a large degree and the guests are just not there.

And when you add to that significant drop in attendance, Disney is paying almost TWICE as much in fuel costs to run all those DME buses, almost twice to run the intra-park/resort buses, almost twice to run the parking lot trams ... than they were in August of 2007.

Then.. factor in that the costs for raw ingredients for the restaurants have been on a steady climb, fed mostly by increased transportation costs; and resort laundry and other areas of the parks are facing increased energy usage costs.

Disney got slammed in 2008 with all the increased costs that are directly attributable to the price of oil.. and no way to recoup those hard costs beyond raising stroller rentals and the 'holiday' dining surcharge.

And remember that a 22% to 30% drop in resort bookings can mean a MUCH larger drop in park purchases and food bills ... in part because those who do bother to make the trip are much most price sensitive and consider carefully every expenditure; often forgoing a TS meal or a souvenir that they might have otherwise bought if their own personal budget wasn't also under many of the same strains as above.

Just something to think about... especially as we near August 1st and what is very likely to be a major ticket structure realignment.. and yes, at the very least.. probably a price increase for comparable entitlements...

To sum up - Yeah, it's affecting Disney big time.

Dh has a great story to share with you about being sucked under on that river while rafting. (sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear vacamper!)

I think we may check out Biltmore Estate and then we're going to look for something fun for the kids. I really just want to go camping in a nice place and RELAX!!

Asheville is wonderful! There is so much to do and all sorts of campgrounds! I really love the little town there. Asheboro does have an incredible zoo....but it really isn't too close...like 3 hours or so. We've stayed in campgrounds around there, but it was all primitive camping, not really RV, so I can't think of any recommendations. I'll ask around though!

Are you sure you don't wanna come up to the Blue Ridge????? I'll post more pics and change your mind! I'll lure you with Kungalooshes and Otter Pops! :laughing:

Not thar, "Theyah" Actually I feel like I'm in Fl, it has been so muggy, I can't stand it. Everything feels damp. It cooled down today though, and it says it is going go rain pretty much through out our trip. Wonderful. I told the girls to pack some good board games. Well, off to finish my potato salad that we are taking with us. We never go without the potato salad.

Who knows? The migraines have been better lately. It is kind of exploratory surgery, I think. She had a CT scan done and they saw infection around her appendix so they are going to take that out. She has been sick to her stomache and in pain. They are going to look at her gull bladder as well while they're in there.

Ami, beautiful pic! Looks like we're headed to the Asheville area...still not sure of a campground yet. But we want to go next weekend if at all possible. We've wanted to visit that area for while. A few years back when they built the HGTV dream home there...they showed some beautiful views!

g8trmom1, we checked out the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area while visiting family in Knoxville. Not sure if you guys are looking to camp up there or not...but there were a couple of really nice campgrounds in the Townsend area!

My surgery was only an overnight stay, and much more involved than appendicitis. Technically, I was there on a "23 hour observation", and they just purposely drug their feet to give me as long as possible on Thursday. (For example, they gave my DH my prescriptions right before I was supposed to leave, and told him to go ahead and fill them, and to take his time, then they had to wait on my doctor to return after office hours to sign my actual orders.) My mom had surgery on her hairline fracture on her back, and was home by 1pm the same day.

Anyway, I hope Jen gets better soon!!

I had bilat hernia repairs a few years ago and they couldn't wait to get me outta there. My experience as a patient in hospitals following surgery is not good. The nurse I had attending me was a terrorist.

[ntsammy5]

I had bilat hernia repairs a few years ago and they couldn't wait to get me outta there.

When I had my TKR last year I stayed in for 3 weeks! But over 2 weeks of that was in subacute rehab. That was a real pain, but I was having a problem with range of motion - the surgeon had to remove a lot of stuff that was left from the prior 5 surgeries - my knee was really weird looking prior to the replacement - the surgeon wanted to know how I ever got into the Army in the first place - once I got out of the hospital I really started to get better.

[auntie]

Just got a text from Jen's hubby. Says "Jen's in the recovery room minus one appendix. She's staying overnight, will be released tomorrow morning.

Okay..I've been a bit out of the loop this week, my apologies, I didn't realize Jen was ill. I knew she was having some trouble at the Fourth of July gathering. Is the appendix what was giving her the problems earlier in the month?
Both my sons have had their appendix's(sp?) out. They say it isn't genetic..but I found that kind of odd. My older son had it done 10 years ago..regular surgery and was in the hospital almost five days. My younger son had it done two years ago, and he stayed overnight, it was done laproscopically..and he had a MUCH easier recovery. I don't think he even asked for tylenol more than once. Of course he was 14 at the time..and kids bounce back so easily.

Anyway, just checking in, and was sorry to hear about Jen's situation. If you should speak to her, would you please tell her she is in my thoughts and prayers? Thanks ;)

[2goofycampers]

Feel better Jen, I hope this will fix all that ails you.

Thanks guys and gals! I hope to feel better soon. It seems that my gall bladder is fine, however, they found out some problems related to my c section 4 years ago. Seems that some of my parts wanted to grow together with scar tissue, causing all kinds of inflammation and such. I don't have all the details, but the appendix is gone and lots of scar tissue. Needless to say, the ob/gyn was called in on the phone for consultation (which was also done on Monday, but for additional opinion.) Since I knew there would be nothing on TV, I decided to bring the air card to the hospital to keep my mind occupied.

[auntie]

Oh Jen...how nice to hear from you! I'm glad you're feeling better..or at least hope to be soon! :flower3: Glad everything is okay..you are in my thoughts and prayers, and wishing you a speedy recovery. :wizard: (like you have a choice with a four year old! LOL!)

[clkelley]

OMG!! I just pulled up the EOB from the insurance company. Just the hospital bill was over $26K

THANK GOD FOR INSURANCE!!!!

Thanks! The real trial will be tomorrow when I go home. I remember getting the bill and having to sit down from my emergency c section 37K for the hospital...Carol, I hope insurance is covering your bill

I pray the hospital loses this one...

Take it easy Jen. Glad you are on the road to recovery.

[kc5grw]

Jen,

Get feeling better soon. :wizard:

[PolynesianPixie]

Where is that Ami? Do you ever camp there?

It's McAfee's Knob on the AT. No campsites right there, but you go a little ways and you'll find a primitive spot.

Here's a link that describes all the places I've been posting pics of:

Hiya, Jen! :wave2: I hope you're better soon! kick the nurses out when they come in to check your blood pressure in the middle of the night!

Jen,

Get feeling better soon. :wizard:


Hey! Glad to see you faired ok, despite Dolly!

[g8trmom1]

Hey Jen!
Been thinking of you and was so glad to hear you are doing well. I am glad you had everything taken care of!! Hope your're home ASAP and feeling better!!:flower3:

[TheFlame]

Jen- So glad it wasn't something more serious! Hope you are feeling better soon. Thanks for the words of encouragement on the cardio doc...;) Wish me luck Monday. I am praying for you!:)

[PolynesianPixie]

I wish you luck, too! Scary stuff!

[seabee]

Hey Jen, Glad to hear you are on the right track to feeling better.

On another note, we have checked into Cathedral Pines Campground. It poured the entire drive up, and the entire time I was setting up. On top of that, the girls had a couple friends over last week and they were all in the camper, well, apparently someone played with the faucet in the bathroom because after I had hooked up the water and turned it on I noticed a lot of water draining from under the camper. At first I thought it was the rain, but when I opened the door it came pouring out. The sink was completely overflowing and the floor was flooded. Oh what fun. I hope the weather is better tomorrow. We are right on the edge of Flagstaff Lake, I would like to walk around maybe take the kids fishing. Well, I'm am cold, and a bit wet. I'm off to bed. Have a great weekend everyone!

[PolynesianPixie]

I hope your trip dries up! Have a good night!

[TheFlame]

I wish you luck, too! Scary stuff!

Thanks!

I think my PC Dr. is just being cautious and covering her butt! I had a little incident a couple of weeks ago but I feel fine now!:confused3 We have crappy ins.(self-ins & high ded.) so I feel after the ER and DR. visits 2 weeks ago I have spent enough money on the informative
diagnosis I have been given so far...unknown syncope or fainting!:rolleyes1

I really do hope that is all it was in all seriousness! Thanks for the concern!:)

[clkelley]

Glad to see you online Jen!!! Yep insurance covers everything but $100, and about $20 in Rx

[Born 2 Fish]

Suup ya'll !!
We got us a few drops of rain this morn !! WOOHOO !! Sure need it at our house!
Have a great day !

[des1954]

Who knows? The migraines have been better lately. It is kind of exploratory surgery, I think. She had a CT scan done and they saw infection around her appendix so they are going to take that out. She has been sick to her stomache and in pain. They are going to look at her gull bladder as well while they're in there.


Rick goes to the Doc today, too, doesn't he?

I couldn't get on the board yesterday - too much work!:headache:

Glad about Jen - got the text from Chris yesterday.:yay:

Rick went to the Dr. yesterday, and as I suspected from the radiology report we received in the mail... he has slight adhesions from a previous back surgery. Our primary has referred him to a neurosurgeon - which he goes to next Thurs.

Primary Dr advises against more surgery - but will concede to whatever the specialist wants to do. In the meantime he will be going to a pain management group today - probably for some sort of injection to ease the pain. Rick's anxious about getting a shot directly in the middle of the spine...until I reminded him that I had a spinal tap in 1999 and to suck it up and be a man!!! (No sympathy from me!)

Okay... now I have to go do some catching up on this place!!

[des1954]

Seems that some of my parts wanted to grow together with scar tissue, causing all kinds of inflammation and such.

The scar tissue is adhesions! "Scar tissue gone wild!" That's what Rick has in his spine from previous back surgery.

I can't wait for the next GG when Jen & Rick show each other their scars & compare the horror stories of their surgeries!!:lmao: You know...like the old guys on the benches outside of Publix!

[AuburnJen92]

I wanted not to confuse peoples, as I was confused myself until I got both of them in the room at once to explain. I am waiting on Chris to get here, breakfast to get here, papers to get here and to get out of here...they just wake u up too much! I thought it would be quieter, but my 4 year old and snoring husband sleeps better than this floor does. Oh well. Hopefully I am fixed now.

[3gr8kids]

Jen ~ sorry about the non-sleeping, but glad to hear your feeling better. Wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

[ntsammy5]

Boy I hope everybody gets much better. The smell of disinfectant is making me nauseous.

Does this mean the end of the cracker diet? :lmao:

I sent you a text Jen. Hope you get better soon. I'm outta here for the weekend. We're going to Ginnie Springs with about 25 people for a weekend camping trip. Plenty of cold water and floating down the Santa Fe.

I didn't get any sleep at the hospital, between them coming in every hour or so, then it seemed like right after they left, some machine would beep at me, and I'd have to call them back in, it drove me crazy!!!!

[VACAMPER]

Have fun on your trip, Donnie. After the 4th GG stories. I hope you come back in one piece.

[AuburnJen92]

That's what keeps the night staff awake - don't complain.

[RvUsa]

Jen Hope you get home and get better.

Jim is right, my wife works nights as an RN and she says they keep the beeping just to stay awake ( NOT )

Deb, tell your hubby I have had at least 25 lumbar epidurals for my back pain and RSD in my foot, and it sucks, but it is doable! I have had countless steroid and lidocan shots as well, and they aren't too bad.
The absolute worst for anyone with back pain is having a discogram! OMG I have never had pain so bad, I almost passed out, and that was after demerol, and dilloted (SP).

Donnie have a great time.

Flame, hope everything works out.

To everyone else - either get well, have fun, sorry, or congratulations! I hope that covers everyone!

[PolynesianPixie]

I'm off to NC again peoples......


Everybody have a great weekend, stay safe and healthy. If you aren't healthy, get that way!

What a great picture, Ami! :goodvibes Have a safe trip and a good weekend.

[des1954]

No more crackers! :cool1:

I'll bet you never want to see another cracker of any kind...ever again!!!

Do take it easy on "shoveling in" the food for a day or two, dearie. Too much, too soon after surgery can give you the pukies!!! No fun and lots of pain!!

Milk this for all it's worth, Jen!! Let Chris & CJ wait on you hand & foot over the next few days! Play the part of someone on her death bed! WORK IT, HONEY!! WORK IT!!!

Hugs-Deb

Mommies very seldom can get a break.

[kc5grw]

Hey! Glad to see you faired ok, despite Dolly!

Heck, we're to far north to be affected very much. We didn't get any significant rain out of the system and we need that.

[Millermouseketeers]

We didn't even get a drop at our end. Some nice cloud cover for a while though!

[kc5grw]

I think we got about 5 minutes worth in Mesquite. Nothing where I work at I-635 and 75.

No, I really don't want to see a cracker again. Ever. I am not eating a whole lot, but what I am eating isn't making me feel like my insides want to be outside, so that is a first this summer. I don't really have a choice to do a whole lot. Most of my time is keeping CJ from keeping me from being the normal jungle gym that he thinks I am. Chris has to work this whole weekend, so that should be fun...we'll see...I have actually been told not to be so stubborn and to sit down...

[des1954]

Jen...I think it might be a good weekend for CJ to spend with the grandparents!!

[VACAMPER]

Don't over do it Jen.

[ntsammy5]

No, I really don't want to see a cracker again. .

Better move north then :lmao: :lmao:



How are you feelin now? I hope you get better soon.

Jen, hope you're able to get some rest and feel better this weekend! I don't normally say this...but it might be a good weekend for CJ to watch a bunch of Disney movies!

[Born 2 Fish]

You two are something else! You guys doing any fishing this weekend?

Nope,,we have rain in our area today.(not a complaint)
Denise don't like gettn wet, less it's swimming, and tomorrow I gotta do something to help pay the bills.

[BigDaddyRog]

Bills..........I just came to a realization....the very last bill I get in my life will mean that Im dead!! Im not sure if I should look forward to that or not......such emotional conflict.

The state of LA sent me a letter last week stating that if I dont get my 2007 state taxes paid by August sump'n'r'other, that they were going to "garnish my wages"!!!! I strictly make cash.....do ya think they'll send someone to the stripclub to hang out with me every night so they can get their percentage? Would he be allowed to enjoy himself? Ya think I could get him drunk and steal his wallet and write profanities on his forehead with a red sharpie??? No, I guess not...they could probably arrest me for vandalizing public property.

[AuburnJen92]

Better move north then :lmao: :lmao:



How are you feelin now? I hope you get better soon.

Actually, If I want to see a cracker, I can just look in the mirror, I am a Florida Cracker!;)

I am feeling much better. The recovery is going much faster than my c section did and thanks to percaset. My mom is here this weekend to keep CJ in check and to help out a little bit. They went to lunch, so I have a little bit of a break.

[clkelley]

Glad your better Jen!!!

[Millermouseketeers]

Sounds like you are doing a lot better, Jen. Glad you are!

[AuburnJen92]

Now that I am doing better, and sounds like Carol is doing better, we need to work on Ami getting better. I just got a text from Ami in NC and it doesn't look like her FIL is going to make it through the night and her hubby's grandfather is right behind the FIL. Please have her family in your prayers this weekend. Her family really needs y'all.:grouphug: She just gave me another text saying the minister is on the way.

[clkelley]

Yes, Ami!! Our thoughts are with you!!

[AuburnJen92]

bump

[VACAMPER]

Ami's father in law just passed away. Please, please pray for her and her family.

[AuburnJen92]

Yes, please, please pray for her family. They also have another family member in dire straights and they are really having a hard time.:grouphug: :grouphug:

[RvUsa]

Aww that sucks. I will think about them.

[2goofycampers]

Thinking and praying here for Ami & family also. :grouphug:

[AuburnJen92]

Donnie just called me from Ginnie Springs and sends his condolences as well.

[g8trmom1]

Oh my, Ami I am so sorry. This is just horrible.:grouphug:

[heatair]

Our condolences to you.

Our prayers will be with y'all.

[des1954]

I think this past week has been one of "drama". At church, we had two members die this week...I had to call 911 this morning for another while trying not to interrupt the worship service (he's okay), and at THD... TWO cashiers were fired on Wednesday for stealing and another for no call/no show for the third time. Now, Ami's FIL. Wow!! Bad Ju-Ju this week-not that I believe in "Ju-Ju", but overall, it's been a downer of a week.

Ami honey...if you get on the board, I'm praying for all of you. This will sound a little odd, but now the "other shoe" has dropped and the crisis is over. FIL is in a much better place. Praise God!!

[Gatordad]

these are not useless facts, and they are bringing my thread down..... I'll think of y'all.

[loveDmouse]

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ami and her family during this very difficult time. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Gosh, it has been a bad week.
Maybe that is why we got a #!$%#@#$ nail in one of our tires on the motorhome. :headache: :mad: Could have been worse though. At least we found it and we didn't have a blow out. :scared1: Made it home safely.

[ntsammy5]

Made it home safely.

That's the important part.


Ami, sorry for your loss.

[loveDmouse]

That's the important part.


You got that right!

[ftwildernessguy]

Lot's of bad stuff happening. We all need a camping trip.

So here's some good things that happened to me:

My splint is finally off and I'm doing my own at home rehab for the broken arm

My son is home from his summer ROTC training at Ft. Lewis. He is going for the ARNG option and is now part of the 42nd ID in NY state and will hopefully be commissioned as a Signal officer next year.

Thunderstorms lightened up enough in Eastern PA for me to pretty much finish building my shed in the back yard.

I made reservations for camping in the Poconos the first week of August.

I don't mean to diminish the serious situations some of our friends are finding themselves in. I deal with death and illness regularly and sure do appreciate the pain and suffering the individuals and families involved go through. My condolences to those families and my wishes for a speedy recovery to the ill and infirmed. It's times like this I tell FWGirl - time to drop back and punt, and hopefully everything will take a turn for the better for everyone.

Kungaloosh!

[ntsammy5]

He is going for the ARNG option and is now part of the 42nd ID in NY state and will hopefully be commissioned as a Signal officer next year.

May the Lord have mercy on his poor pitiful soul. Spent quite a few years there myself. What unit?

Signal huh? Probably Div HQ in Latham.

[ftwildernessguy]

May the Lord have mercy on his poor pitiful soul. Spent quite a few years there myself. What unit?

That is my guess. He will be going into his senior year at RPI so it would be right down the road.

I figured you would be familiar with the Rainbow division. Heck, you probably were in when Dougie MacArthur was in it.;)

[ntsammy5]

I figured you would be familiar with the Rainbow division. Heck, you probably were in when Dougie MacArthur was in it.;)

Not quite but close! That old fart was quite the soldier. Loved publicity but one hell of a warrior!

I retired 5 years ago and it has changed a lot since I left - almost no one left that I know well. They got rid of my old brigade and I'm not even sure if the Div is still heavy - a lot of old AR units transitioned to RSTA - not much use for M1A1s anymore. We won't be facing much heavy threat for a while. At least that's the conventional wisdom. Wish him luck for me.

How did he like Lewis? I love that place. Did he have a chance to get to Rainer? I'm sure he was at Yakima though! :lmao:

[ftwildernessguy]

He only saw Rainier from a distance - never got off post.

He enjoyed it. He dreaded going, but now he misses it. The weather was surprisingly good the whole time he was there.

[Gatordad]

Hey! take it to email

[VACAMPER]

Ami says to tell everyone hello and she will be on as so as she can.

[TheFlame]

Flame, hope everything works out.

Thank you John!:flower3:

Ami, I am sorry for your loss and will keep your family in my prayers!

All of this real life stuff sure puts the worries of bills, gas prices and the economy in it's place doesn't it?!!?:)

We should all be sooo thankful and feel blessed everyday we are given....wish me luck tomorrow!:goodvibes

[clkelley]

I went out for the first time yesterday!! We have a fairly new "DTD-like" shopping center in our town called Bridge Street Station. It has some mid-high end shops and some nice restaurants and a VERY nice movie theater with lounge and some adult-only balcony seating with amazing big leather reclining chairs.

We went to the movies and dinner. We saw Wall-E which was OK. I'm really surprised Wall-E is getting the acclaim it got. It thought it was only so, so.

Then we went to Dolce for dinner. While the food was fantastic, the service was sloooooooooow. The place was packed. So what we figured to be a nice afternoon out turned into a loooooooong eh.

[Just Beachy]

Carol,
Good to hear that you're feeling better! The first time out of the house after surgery is so nice. Hope you didn't get too tired out.

[Eeyore'sthebest]

We saw Wall-E which was OK. I'm really surprised Wall-E is getting the acclaim it got. It thought it was only so, so.I agree about Wall-E. I was rather disappointed considering I've loved all the other Pixar movies. I even coerced my daughter into seeing this. She really wanted to see Space Chimps. My 5 yo granddaughter even fell asleep in the middle of the movie. Not even pumping her full of candy kept her awake! :goodvibes

[AuburnJen92]

I know this is kinda geeky (ok, who do i live with here...?) but did anyone see the concept trailer for the new tron2 movie at comic-con this weekend?

here is the link...

http://www.filmstalker.co.uk/archives.2008/07/tr2n_tron_2_trailer_online.html

you will want to look at the second video because the first was pulled for some reason...

[Colson39]

yea Jen, we were watching that at work this morning. I have to say, at first, I was like this is going to be crap, but after seeing that trailer, holy crap I can't wait!

[Shannone1]

:yay: Hi everyone :goodvibes I'm back from our group vacation and I've missed you all. I took my laptop and was hoping to be able to stay connected while down there, but my Verizon air-card malfunctioned and we were in this tiny little town with no hope of getting a new one !! But we are home and I'm online and I am going to try to catch up a little.

Jen- I did see you had surgery and I hope you are feeling better.

Ami- I'm very sorry about your FIL.

If I missed anything else important, please let me know...

[3gr8kids]

Ami ~ our thoughts and prayers with you and your family during this difficult time. :hug:
Carol ~ glad to hear you're up and about and were able to enjoy a nice dinner and movie
Jen - glad to hear you're feeling better and able to eat something other than crackers!

[auntie]

Oh my GOD...I forget to tell you guys...I finally got around to trying


Kungaloosh!

Yep...Bob and I had this last week, while I was feeling a bit under the weather..and then I didn't care about the weather..or anything else for that matter. I told my hubby it's the offical drink of FW...and now he said he has a new respect for the Fort! I think we're gonna like our Sept. trip just fine! :rotfl:

I thought it was very good too. I made some for my friends over Memorial Day weekend. :thumbsup2

[Gatordad]

I'm there for a year, and look at the positive outcome I had already.... although I don't know where they got the studying the least part... The MBA program must not have been consulted. Maybe they asked one kid about it, and he was real smart or something....

GAINESVILLE - The University of Florida has been named the No. 1 party school in the nation. The rankings come out each year from the Princeton Review and this is the first time the state's flagship university has been named in the top spot. The Gators came close in 1999 when the school was No. 2 and 1998, when it was third. It was fourth last year. Florida also came in first this year in the categories of students who study the least and students who pack the stadiums. The only other Florida school making the list was Florida State, which ranked 10th. The rankings come from the 2009 edition of the Princeton Review's annual college guide, "The Best 368 Colleges," which goes on sale Tuesday.

[Colson39]

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The University of Florida can raise a glass to another national title — best party school in the country.

The Gators, known for wild celebrations following national championships in football and basketball, wrested the party title away from West Virginia University and beat out the University of Mississippi and Penn State University, in the Princeton Review survey of 120,000 students released Monday.

The university has made the top 20 party school list for the past 15 years, but has never been No. 1.

My question is, when the heck did West Virginia become a place to party??? lol

[jrandtysmom]

My question is, when the heck did West Virginia become a place to party??? lol

West Virginia has always had a reputation for a huge party school.

[Colson39]

It was just a joke ;)

I know they have had the reputation, I just don't think West Virginia when I think party...lol.

[Gatordad]

West Virginia has always had a reputation for a huge party school.

I heard that as well.... as my former boss put it, there's not much to do at WV, so you have a party.

[Colson39]

Yea, most college towns don't have much to do (I hear that a lot about Gainesville, not a slam on them, I have lots of good friends that went to UF that have told me this). That's why you guys get such big crowds, and down here in Miami we can't even fill our stadium...lol.

[Colson39]

For those of you that like Star Wars + Beer (and I know there are a few of you out there :P)

My question is, when the heck did West Virginia become a place to party??? lol

You obviously have never been there!:cool1:

Actually, I have lots of relatives (my moms entire side is from there, including herself), and have been there a few times. And I still ask "Since when did West Virginia become a place to party?".

To me, that's like saying the Fort is the place to build roaring campfires and roast peacocks...lol ;)

On that note, I think West Virginia is one of the most beautiful states in the country, you can't beat the views. Just a gorgeous state :P Really nice people too, but that's how most of the south is.

Some people use computers to broaden their intelligence, some for business....some for homework, some for dating, most for free porn....I use my computer to gather all the ignorance that the world has to offer!!!:cool2:

[AuburnJen92]

Rog, that is just weird on so many levels, but from you, ok, I'll take it.;)

[kc5grw]

Rog, I really hope your business picks back up real soon. You have WAAAAYYY too much free time on your hands.

[BigDaddyRog]

Ok...my kids found my gay chihuahua licking this thing outside and they brought it in and suddenly think they are veterinarians!!! They looked it up and they all think its a baby possum...but look at it...how the hell can anyone know what the heck its gonna grow into!!! Anyone have any ideas? Im pretty sure its NOT a Chupacabra...but ya never know. I think the little scratch on its face is from the dog carrying it to the house...at its tiny size, Im afrais it will infect and this things gonna die...I sure aint bringin it to a vet. For all I know, this could be a skunk, or an alien or just a regular old rat.

You are sooooo crazy!:thumbsup2

I think it's a kitten!:confused3

[BigDaddyRog]

Hmmmm....not unless its seriously premature..kittens are usually born with some fur. I was thinking its a texas steer, but it doesnt have a septum ring!!!!!

[BigDaddyRog]

Whatever it is...it just stopped breathing...that didnt take too long!!!

Anyone need a dead naked-mole-steer-kitten-possum carcas????

[Gatordad]

Spend an evening at Home Depot... you'll see more ignorance than your brain could possibly process!!! I've just learned to say..."Yep! That should do it!"

[Born 2 Fish]

Rog,
I can't express enough how sorry I am for the loss of your hairless, big snout, long tail, uummm, uhh, "WhatDaHellAmI" .It's a good thing you didn't get too attached to it before it passed.(we all know how hard that can be)
But I am glad we don't have to see one of those everyday !

Are you sure it's just not something the dog puked up ?

[VACAMPER]

Rog, your a good dad to let them bring that in the house. (or did they even ask) My DD9 has a dead frog collection. She's not allowed to bring it near the house. Last I saw of it, it was in a garbage bag out in the field with rocks piled on top so it wouldn't blow away.

[BigDaddyRog]

I get off for good behavior in 20 days.....at which point I will speak my mind...and likely land back in the library for after Dis detention. Hopefully my point will be understood by the DIS-ciplinarian and the sentence will be lenient.

Some folks got together, and got somebody to clean my house for me on Friday. I've NEVER had anybody clean my house for me. While my house is not really dirty, I'm a bit embarrased. There are some corners that have been neglected for awhile. I usually get on a tear every couple of months are really scrub everything, but didn't do it before my surgery. What should I expect?? They said something about the bathrooms, floors, dust, vacuum, and walls?? What are they going to do to the walls?? Are they going to move furniture and stuff??

Do any of you have a house cleaner come in?? Do I need to provide some lunch??

This is all so new to me.

[VACAMPER]

Sit back and let them clean! Don't fight it. Anybody want to clean my house.

Usually professional house keepers mainly do surface cleaning, It's doubtful they will move things or do walls, if they do your friends really like you alot.

Don't tempt me, it is on wheels.:lmao: :lmao: Told you i was a redneck.

Oh boy..you sound like me. I have had some issues with Siatica, and my husband wants to have someone come in every couple of weeks or even once a month to help me out. Mind you..I too have NEVER had any help in the house. I told him I couldn't possibly have someone in the house until we replaced the upstairs bathroom! It's pretty much off limits to guests..and I wouldn't want anyone cleaning it either. He just shook his head. :rolleyes1

My mom on the other hand has always had a housekeeper come once a week(well, after I left home..before that it was ME!) One day I was talking to her on the phone while on my hands and knees dusting the tressle of my dining room table. Very annoyed..she asked me..."Why don't you just have the cleaning people do that?"....HELLO...I AM THE CLEANING PEOPLE MOM! :rolleyes1

I guess I should be grateful for the help..but I'm the type to clean before the cleaning person would come.
My advise is don't be a fool like me...accept the help..you've had some major surgery:hug: ..let yourself be spoiled for a bit. Now..if I could just follow my own advise.:laughing:

[BigDaddyRog]

Carol & Phyllis!!!!! You 2 sound like my wife when she has 2 legs!!! I offered to have someone come and clean the house once a week(this was a while back)...and she refused because she was afraid that if something came up on days that the maid service was scheduled to show up, she'd be too embarrassed if she werent able to clean up before the service arrived!!! My wife straightens up hotel rooms before housekeeping shows up!!! She cleans up so someone can come in and clean up!!!! Wimenz iz crazy!!!

[seabee]

My wife straightens up hotel rooms before housekeeping shows up!!!

I do the same thing! Jim just shakes his head and makes fun of me.:confused3

[2goofycampers]

Can't have someone come in the room with the bed unmade.

[Us3]

..but I'm the type to clean before the cleaning person would come.


OMG, I thought I was the only one like that!!! My dh tells me to have someone come in once a week...but it would be too much work for me to have it all picked up and neat before they got here! :rotfl: j/k

I'm one of those people who will clean the house top to bottom when I know we have guest coming. I feel all kinds of wierd if we have folks stop over when the house is not all tidy. I wish I could change it...but that's just me.

You know, this new thread title reminds me of a nasty old parsimmon tree that was on the property where my parents owned an apartment building. We would go out there every week in the summer to cut the grass. I knew those things were nasty and tart, but would convince my brothers every year that they were now "ripe" and would taste good.
