Our County is having an ariel spraying for West Nile tonight.

I don't know what's worse...not opening the windows or putting on the AC...or West Nile?. It's hot in this house.

[ntsammy5]

We're not spraying - don't remember the last time they did that, but it got down to the low 40s last night - definitely not too hot!

For this bunch that should only take a couple of days.

We used to be able to do that in an afternoon, but now days, it takes lots longer. LOL

Heck, Jim and I did 350 posts in one afternoon just watching a movie.

Just posting to add to the total. Now, we need one less to reach the limit.

Thanks for the link Ami. DW and I love Third Day, but hadn't heard this one. I especially like their rendition of "This One's with Me". I second BDR, post a vid!

Not bad. I tried to copy and paste, but it didn't work. How do you get them in?

[AuburnJen92]

Rob, don't you have kids bothering you today? I know my kid has been driving me nuts, but it is a day ending in y.;)

[BRDof3]

Today DW gets the kids' annoyances!

I'm moonlighting 7-7 today for a manufacturing plant as the on-site nurse. It gets pretty boring, esp on the weekends when there aren't many people working. That is good news, because when it is exciting in here then someone is hurt. The bad news is that 12 hours is a long shift when there isn't much happening.

So instead of the kids annoying me I get to annoy all of you. :cool2:

[AuburnJen92]

Fair enough....I am supposed to be doing things here, but I am on the boards...so, neither of us are doing what we are "supposed" to be doing...

I don't find that all bad....

[ntsammy5]

:thumbsup2

The Bills beat the Jags! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cool1:

[BRDof3]

I thought this WAS what I was supposed to be doing. :lmao:

Actually, I am paying off the camper, one shift at a time. DW said she would be able to match me extra shift for extra shift, and we're on a quest to pay ourselves back during the winter. I figure we can just about have it done by the time we want to use the weekends for playing instead of working.

[AuburnJen92]

I need to find another job to fill in the gap from my lack of coaching...especially with the impending $1200+ repair bill I might be having on the coach. Needless to say, it is not going to Auburn this weekend. Hell, I might not be going and just sending the neighbor, DH and my dad instead. Life sucks.:headache:

I'd venture to say the problem is probably all the "help". My husband HATES it when the "mayor" of our block runs down the street to "help" him get the trailer in the driveway. Now, that I think of it, it's probably one of the reasons we went seasonal. He doesn't have to back it in the driveway and while the mayor doesn't know it.. his life was spared.:rotfl:

I've seen that look where I was sure Bob was gonna run the guy over. Ooops..big sloppy mess on the driveway.:eek:

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were
driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes,
skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other
car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just
smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So I
asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent
us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now
call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around
full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of
disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it
and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage
and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take
over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
(read that line again!)

Have a great, garbage-free day!

Hiya Jen! :wave:

Hey Ami!

[AuburnJen92]

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM
LIVING IN ALABAMA

Possums sleep in the middle of
the road with their feet in the air.

There are 5,000 types of snakes
on earth and 4,998 live in Alabama .

There are 10,000 types of
spiders. All 10,000 live in Alabama , plus a couple
no one's seen before.

If it grows, it sticks; if it
crawls, it bites.

Onced and Twiced are words.

It is not a shopping cart; it is
a buggy.

People actually grow and eat
okra.

'Fixinto' is one word.

There is no such thing as
'lunch.' There is only dinner and then supper.

Iced tea is appropriate for all
meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We
do like a little tea with our sugar!

Backwards and forwards means 'I
know everything about yo u.'

DJeet is actually a phrase
meaning 'Did you eat?'

You don't have to wear a watch
because it doesn't matter what time it is. You work
until you're done or it's too dark to see.

You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH
them.

You measure distance in minutes.

You'll probably have to switch
from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day.

'Fix' is a verb. Example: 'I'm
fixing to go to the store.'

All the festivals across the
s tate are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain,
insect or animal.

You install security lights on
your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

You carry jumper cables in your
car . . . for your OWN car.

There are only four spices:
salt, pepper, Tabasco and ketchup.

The local papers cover national
and international news on one page, but require 6
pages for local gossip and sports.

The first day of deer season is
a national holiday.

100 degrees Fahrenheit is 'a
little warm.'

We have four seasons: Almost
Summer, Summer, still Summer and Christmas.

Going to Wal-mart is a favorite
past time known as 'goin' Wal-martin' or off to
'Wally World.'

A cool snap (below 70 degrees)
is good pinto-bean weather.

A carbonated soft drink isn't a
soda, cola or pop. . . . it's a Coke, regardless of
brand or flavor. Example: 'What kinda coke you
want?'

Fried catfish is the other white
meat.

We don't need no stinking
driver's ed . . . if our mama says we can drive, we
can drive.

[DisneySoccerScouts]

Great list - it was the laugh I needed today!

[ntsammy5]

A cool snap (below 70 degrees)

It's 63 here right now - very nice & sunny. The highest it'll get here in the next 10 days is 70 - It'll get into the 40s at night. good fall weather.

pages for local gossip and sports.
Sounds like the Lakeland Ledger.

We have four seasons: Almost
Summer, Summer, still Summer and Christmas.

This was cute, Jen!

Some more Southern words,


winder = window
tater = potato
mater = tomato

When I moved from NY to Mississippi I made a 3 time rule for myself. If I didn't understand what was said after asking "what" 3 times I'd have to live without that information. :rolleyes1

[ntsammy5]

and of course

BEER = BEER

see we aren't that different after all!

Man these people expect me to work! What's up with that?

[AuburnJen92]

One that was forgotten on that list is directions. I asked for directions once and got...

"It's up the road a piece."

That was a 25 minute drive.

When I was a kid, we had a neighbor farmer who, when asked for directions, would take off his cap, scratch his head and say "well, you jist cain't git thar from here. Let me tell ya where ya gotta go."

You aren't refering to my "Ojo" the wonder eyed wonder. Killer of all birds who dare to chirp or fly in the neighborhood? Who just happened to fall out of my daughters car in front of the house... You wouldn't be talkin' smack about such a tough cat would ya? :rolleyes1 (He's a beast..and would kick your *** as soon as look at ya..he only likes the dog)

Ojo...has his "eye" (quite literally :laughing: ) on a neighbors VERY expensive bird that they let hang out in the yard. I see a law suit in my future, and feathers in Ojo's mouth.:sad2:
If this beast can get adopted (we're suckers)..so can those cuties. In fact it looks as if they've been adopted already! :laughing: You're not gonna let those cuties go! They are very exotic..they have TWO eyes. Way to go! :thumbsup2

This was Ojo at that age..

I need to be pampered....

Last night I came down with a slight sore throat. Today it's a full blown sore throat, runny nose, itchy eyes, and my bronchial tubes have that burny itchy feeling that makes me cough. I have to go work at THD after I leave the office and won't get home 'til about 10pm. The house will be empty, cause DH is out of town in a training class for his new job. Waaaaahhh!!!! I want to go home, pull the covers over my head, and go to sleep - but I can't. Waaaahhh! <sniff, sniff ***HONK*** (blowing my nose), cough, cough). Don't worry anyone...germs aren't transmitted by internet...yet!

Deb, take it EZ, you need to be better by Sat. nite. We all know fireworks are much more important than work.

[AuburnJen92]

Deb, you have to get better soon. Remember, we have a dinner date next week while I am in Orlando! I'll take you out in the trans am!

[des1954]

Awww, thanks everyone!!! This too will pass - by way of my brochial tubes, that is. :lmao: I made it thru the evening at THD with a lot of kleenex & cough drops. I worked the lumber check-out register, so it was easy. Real quiet...and I steal the stool from the Pro-Desk & sit there and do crossword puzzles. Tough job!:rotfl2:

I have a customer that I adore (cause he reminds me of Rog, and I mean a dead ringer for Rog - personality, looks, "cuddle-ability"... the whole package). His name is "Big Daddy John" and I am NOT making this up. A few weeks ago I was telling him how Rog introduced me to Rumplemintz. Well, after I checked him out tonight & he saw I was "under the weather", he went to ABC Liquors next door to THD & came back with a bottle of Rumple!! I actually cried, cause it touched me so much!! He told me that he had to do it because I am one of the few "strangers" he encounters that wasn't afraid or offended by his size, tatoos, hair (he has a curly mohawk) goatee, and a few piercings and was genuinely nice to him. He says he always searches me out because he loves how my face lights up when I see him. I really enjoy this guy due to the fact he is so much like Rog. Just a truly nice, gentle guy, with a very quick wit, but also a quiet, tender side.

Anyhow...I'm glad I went into THD tonite. It reminded me that there are good people in the world!

I'll sleep when I'm dead!! No slowing the ol' "Otter Spotter" down! :thumbsup2

BTW... I don't have to work at THD Friday night...so we're on! Also..I'm going back to FtW Saturday nite to meet Bob & Phyllis & Frank & Denise. This Saturday I get to meet not only our very own Frank & Denise, but also Sonya & her family! This is too much excitement and too great to believe!! I will crawl out of my death bed if I have to!! Yippee!!!

Thanks, Phyllis!! This darned thing has settled in my chest now & when that happens, it's there for awhile.

Wouldn't it be cool to be a concierge at FtW? The biggest thing that would hold me back would be not being given the power to make everybody happy! You know...adequate compensations, free stuff, etc. Like all businesses, the front line person only carries so much weight before you have to refer up to a manager. A little PR goes a long way with people and the bottom line isn't all there is to business. Ya gotta prepare for the future!

Now that WDW is feeling the sting from the economy, I wonder if they will re-institute the Winter Settler's rates at FtW, or go back to pricing sites as they used to. Remember not so long ago if the price for your site the day of check-in was say...$42.00/nite, you paid that rate for your entire ressie no matter how high the price went up during your stay. You didn't have to hassle with higher weekend rates or holiday rates. That would be nice.

Now, as far as Winter Settler rates, I know a gob of people who will never winter at FtW again due to the fact they did abolish these prices. These people were loyal to Disney during their "down" years & when business picked up & they no longer extended these rates, the "regulars" felt very betrayed - to the point of selling their stock and not buying AP's or even setting foot on Disney property. While I know this probably didn't impact FtW that much, the generational trickle-down and word of mouth to friends and family could hurt them. A little "special treatment" to repeat customers can go a long, long way.

BTW....I can't wait for next Saturday!!

Enjoy that Rumple and drink that "weather change" bug thats got ya feeling like ya need to stay drunk......but dont forget to stay drunk anyway!!!:hug:

Hey Al, did you get the email from AFVC about a free week if you book a week by phone?

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately we have so much stuff going on that the next vacation we'll go on after this November will be October 2009. We'll be making trips to NC and Glens Falls to visit grandchildren. Actually, on second thought I'd like to get one in SC or NC next summer and take the boys to the mountains. I forgot what the dates are - I'll have to look now.


OH it's only good from 1/1 thru 3/31/09, for the free week that is. I'll have to give it some thought. It won't cost anything if I don't use it. hmmmmmmmm.

I said he was why i kept coming back. You are definately my favorite. Now get over it!:rolleyes:

Oops! Been there, done that unfortunately. The only cure is beer, lots of it, preferably at least 25 miles from the scene of that conversation. Since distance isn't possible, you just have to stammer your way out of it and hope that the beer is avaibable if the 25 miles isn't. :3dglasses

Here's some good idle chit-chat. We're taking the camper out this weekend!! I finally get to camp farther than the driveway. The kids are out of school Friday. DW works the weekend, and I'm off. I'll get the trailer out Thursday and set up, then work 3-11 and Friday. then I get to take over Friday afternoon and stay for the weekend. How's that for tag-teaming??

We're looking at a local KOA in October, they have Fall/Haloween weekends every year. At least I should get 2 trips yet this season. :cool1:

I'm curious. You southerners, forgive my northern ignorance, but do your stores keep summer/spring type apparel in stock all year, as opposed to the seasonal winter wear we have in our stores already here in the North. In fact..they had it in the stores back the end of July. (talk about rushing the seasons) :sad2:

[clkelley]

Nope, even down here in the South, summer wear is gone. I was trying to buy another pair of cargo shorts a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find any at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart and Lowes' are already starting to fill up their garden centers with Christmas Stuff.

[LONE-STAR]

Around here the summer wear is put out in winter and gone by summer. The winter wear is put out in the summer and gone by winter.:confused3 You can never by the right clothes for that part of the year.

There are no true Floridians left other than my family and maybe a few more so they stock the winter crap for the northern transplants who get cold when the temperature drops to 72 degrees. If it's not below 50 degrees then it is shorts and short sleeve wearing weather for us true Floridians.

Move to Buffalo if you want cold and snow - it's in the low 40s at night right now. We won't stop wearing shorts until it gets below freezing!

Wow..as frustrating as it is to not be able to get shorts or summer clothes past the end of July here, I'd imagine it would be horrible to be in southern states, and find it the same way.

I walked in the other day and I thought I had walked into the University of Maryland because they had all of their football stuff right by the garden center door (that's where I enter cuz no one parks down there. :rotfl: ) Chairs, first up shelters, tv's but no beer. They can only sell beer in a liquor store here. :sad2:

I guess it's official..It's Christmas. Was in Kohl's today..same thing..Christmas decorations. Funny thing is I'm looking for left over summer stuff for our trip! LOL! I knew I was kidding myself with that.

Also..just an interesting observation. It would appear that some middle eastern men think it's okay to walk into ladies dressing rooms. While he was demanding that his wife show him what she had tried on...I saw no reason for this guy to keep coming in to the dressing room repeatidly. I have no idea what they were saying to one another, although it was loud and heated. When I exited the dressing room I had every intention of telling the sales woman that there was a man in there..only, she was of middle eastern decent also. I left the store. I think I'm gonna shop on line from now on. Maybe this is a cultural thing..., but I'm pretty sure he could read, he just didn't care.

[terri01p]

Phyllis your trip is coming up :banana: I hope you have a wonderful time! :dance3:

[ntsammy5]

Oh, I'll have pictures to be sure, Al!

[RvUsa]

Hey Phyllis, aren't you staying in some sort of rental motor home or something? Or were you buying a tent when you get there, I can't remember.... :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Hope you have a great time!

Things that I have noticed how spoiled I am camping vs being in a hotel:

(I have been in a hotel now 4 nights out of the past 9, so I need to vent)

1) Luggage does not have to be carried a country mile to a room
2) Golf carts can be parked outside your RV
3) People are COURTEOUS and don't clank, roll things, yell, bang silverware, play loud music, run up and down the hall, etc. next to you
4) You can run the A/C in the RV and drown out #3 if someone starts anything listed above, which rarely ever happens
5) You don't get charged a $15.00 resort fee for the internet, water, USA Today, and you don't get told NO! when you ask if can be removed because you brought your own internet because your don't agree to their internet policy because they collect your email for solicitation purposes.
6) You don't get charged $12.00 a day to park at the place you are paying $179.00 a night to stay at.


I like being a spoiled rotten camper. I want my RV back. I don't want to be in this hotel any more. WAAAAAAAAH. Please help me.:sad1:

Man you beat me to it. I was going to tell her about this great lady that rents her trailer. You know as much advertisement as she has given Tina she should get a free night.

[clkelley]

Does anybody here watch Survivor??

I've just got one question?? What is with the clothes!!!!!!????????

The only thing I can think of is the producers either go through their closets and tell them to pack the following items OR buy them clothes once they get to orientation and make them wear them.

I just can't believe all 18 of them are THAT stupid!!!

I mean really, if I was on that show, I'd be getting myself down to REI (or wherever) and buying the best multipurpose, multiweather clothing I could find. Pants with zipoff legs, water wicking long-sleeved top, and a water wicking tank top, quick drying socks, and a pair of running shoes that were also good water shoes.

[PolynesianPixie]

I vote Carol for the next survivor episode!!!!! Girl, you would totally win!

[clkelley]

I vote Carol for the next survivor episode!!!!! Girl, you would totally win!

Nope, no Survivor for me. I wouldn't mind the actual "back to the wilderness" part of it, but the alliances and voting off part, I hate.

I would LOVE to be on Amazing Race. That is totally based on how YOU and your partner do, not on the whims of the rest of the cast.

[ntsammy5]

I'd only go if I could bring along all my weapons! I wouldn't play fair but I'd win. That's what the army taught me! Shock and awe, baby, Shock and awe! :lmao:

[PolynesianPixie]

Lol, Al...Can I be on your team? :lmao:

I love the idea of Amazing Race...my hubby wants to do it and already has a partner picked out who is NOT me. I am way too slow! I'd want to stop and smell the roses...

I just wanted to publicly thank Deb for the wonderful company, coke and apple crisp this afternoon. I really needed it!:thumbsup2

I'm tellin' ya,,, Jen can get her little jeep anywhere!! The parking gate at the Gaylord Palms wouldn't open to let her out, so she just squeeked between the two gates - with room to spare. It was worth the drive just to witness that! After what she told me about G.P. & the fact you cannot park anywhere for more than 30 minutes without being charged a $12 parking fee, screw that place!

We went to the Ale House and had a really, really nice visit! AND I found out Jen & family will be at FtW over Halloween! :yay:

They have changed that out also, instead of serving the clams in the garlic butter broth, they are now put in small buckets with no broth to dry out by the time you get to eat them. :sad2: They were not as enjoyable.

[2goofycampers]

DS bought a string thingy [yes that is the name of it John, LOL] and when he got it home it doesn't work. What do we do, it will probably be Oct. 2009 before we get back?

[AuburnJen92]

I need some good vibes folks....Chris got an email from his former employer asking him to call them at the new corporate office tomorrow. They have been sold twice more since he was let go. Seems they need someone with his expertise to talk to them about coming back to fill a position in e-file programming. We so need this.

please excuse my shortsightedness.

[AuburnJen92]

You are excused Pete. Here is the update I got via text about an hour ago...

The phone interview went well with the corporate office and the lady was a little taken back by the fact that she didn't have to explain a lot of things to him. (He had applied for the position that was open for his old job and the corporate lady had to have the dots connected for her, but it was ok, she was cool with it.) She seemed very happy and was going to talk to the head old boss of Chris's today or tomorrow and call him back. So far so good it seems.

[3gr8kids]

Sounds great Jen - keeping my fingers crossed for you!
