Good morning all! Have a great a Saturday. It's going to be a long one for me but hopefully I'll make some good Mickey money.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Page 301 I am impressed.

Good Morning everyone.

[AnneR]

Good Morning everyone-

Wow You guys made 300 pages. Had to check out last night felt a headache coming so went to sleep. Still have the headache today.

Safe travels to all who are traveling.

This morning is very gray. The weather channel says it is 66. Haven't stuck my head out yet to check.

I am off to take my shower and grocery shop. My afternoon is going to be dress shopping for my 15 year old. I'll be checking in and out.

So is the next goal 5000 posts?

John and Kat had a triple last night, 4000, 300 and 4500. Can we let them win them all?

My personal DAP countdown - 62 days!

[OKW Lover]

Wow - page 301 and still going. :cheer2:

[chirurgeon]

I just couldn't hang in there last night. I faded soon after AnneR. Tonya, Katherine and Anne kept it going. Which ever webmaster in charge of closing things must be on vacation. :lmao:

[DVCsince02]

Morning!

[ADP]

Good morning everyone! A little over 2 months until the TSM party. Get your Spring Action Shooters out for practice today.

[krissy2803]

I have never flown first class. I would probably have to use my BIL points to get an upgrade - he travels for business and has a ton of points.
I was in first class once. It was a flight from San Antonio to Houston. A whopping one whole hour in first class! :rotfl:

[Launchpad11B]

Good morning everyone! A little over 2 months until the TSM party. Get your Spring Action Shooters out for practice today.

Morning Aaron. I may be on injured reserve for the TSM meet.

What are the chances of you becoming a lefty in 60 days???
Welcome back!

Thanks. I'll still be there to cheer you on! :goodvibes

[Dodie]

Good morning everyone. :wave2: Past 300 and STILL here I see.

[firsttimemom]

wow- it's true that you all don't need much sleep. I think I was out at 10.

We got upgraded to first class once from DC-Boston when Lindsay was still a baby. You should have seen peoples faces when they boarded and saw her in her baby carseat chilling in first class.

And I used miles to upgrade to first class for our honeymoon- loved the free champagne!

[Launchpad11B]

Morning!

Good morning everyone. :wave2:

Morning DIS wives! :lovestruc

[chirurgeon]

Good morning Paul, did I miss it, what did you do to your self?

Kim

[scarlett873]

:wave2: Morning!

[shellyminnie]

Morning!! :)

[OKW Lover]

Morning Aaron. I may be on injured reserve for the TSM meet.

Paul,
There are actually some HC ride vehicles that have a button to push instead of having to pull the string. You could request one of these if you're not healed by then.

[chirurgeon]

Paul,

I'm not sure about this. I have yet to break 100k on TSM, so I'm sure 1st Sargent Lunny can beat any score I might be able to put up using his left hand. Give the rest of us mere mortals a break why don't you.:sad1:

I need to do laundry today too.

Good morning Paul, did I miss it, what did you do to your self?

Kim

I was wondering the same thing. It sounds like his left arm.

[WDWtraveler27]

Top of the mornin' to ya!

[AnneR]

I was in first class once. It was a flight from San Antonio to Houston. A whopping one whole hour in first class! :rotfl:

My closest experience to first class is I flew business class to and back to Charlotte on AirTran. I had to pay the upgrade which was about $49. The plus was the bigger seats, much more comfortable. My plan is to do this for DAP if available. While it is not the same as first class it is better then coach and the upgrade fee is hundreds less than purchase in advance.

[AnneR]

Watching the weather channel - to those in the west getting snow - be careful, stay safe.

[Launchpad11B]

Good morning Paul, did I miss it, what did you do to your self?

My right index finger was broken, healed wrong, now needs to be re-broken and re-set because it won't bend at all and it hurts all the time. The trigger finger must work properly in my line of work. Thanks for your concern.:thumbsup2

[dpuck1998]

Thanks. I'll still be there to cheer you on! :goodvibes

Hmmm...teaming up against me....:rolleyes1

[Dodie]

Hmmm. I can envision my DIS hubby riding along with me giving me just-in-time professional pointers. "Aim higher. Fire faster. Over here." I think I'm onto something.

That sucks, and the pain of having it rebroken
and reset, ouch!

[katscradle]

I am sitting in the cottage with the smells
of cooking turkey wafting through the cottage.
To go with the turkey, mashed patatoes, turnip,
stuffing, gravy, & corn.
Then pie for desert!:yay:

[georgemoe]

Anyone want a timmy's

I bet 90% of the people here have no idea what you are talking about.

So you were talking about Tim Horton's Donut's or coffee? I buy Timothy's k-cups for the Keurig brewer. Same coffee?

Yikes! This is the never ending thread! Again I'm way behind and hopefully didn't miss anything exciting :)

You missed the Nip / Tuck talk. :scared1:

Good afternoon everyone. :wave2: Can't believe the tread is still going.

My cold kept me in bed until almost 1pm today. :mad:

Trying to catch up on my work email today but I've been dozing off. :)

I'll be working on picture uploads later and will get more F&W posts up. Promise! :goodvibes

[shellyminnie]

That's not good! :sad2: I broke my index finger along time ago and it did not heal correctly either. Lucky for me it was on my left hand (I am right handed).

Good Luck Paul! Do you think it will heal in two months?

summer harvest which has northern spy apples

Yummy!!!!

ouch! I can't even imagine having to have it rebroken. But I guess in the long run if it gets you away from 'it hurts all the time' AND helps you keep your job it's worth it. I hope it's better soon!

Corey is a sweetheart for helping me with this.
My Hero!!!

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

I feel crappy but not crappy enough to not want to do something. My nose is stuffy and I have a headache. Weird to be feeling this way when it is 90 out. Guess the kiddo gave me his bug. Blah

[georgemoe]

I seem to have peaked Katherine's interest a bit when I mentioned that the Canada kiosk would be next with a surprise. Finally I'm getting to it. :goodvibes

So here we go -

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2606-1.jpg

This is what I would consider to be the surprise I mentioned in an earlier post. Most people have had the Cheddar Cheese Soup from LeCellier and had or have loved it. I love soup, I love cheese, and I love beer. This is as close to the perfect trio of food and beverage you could get for me.

BUT I DIDN'T GET THE SOUP! :scared1:

Possibly it was the recent reports I've seen within the last year that this soup is a shell of it's former self. Or it could be that I make similar style soups blindfolded. Maybe a little of both. And maybe the stupid little red sample cups. ;)

So what did Deb and I each get?

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2609.jpg
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2610.jpg

This was a liquid kiosk for Deb and seeing how riesling was on the menu she tried it. Other than 10 & 20 year tawny port, riesling is her favorite wine. The wine was from Chateau des Charmes. She thought it was very good.

When I saw Canada was offering up a sausage I just had to try it. I don't normally think of sausage and Canada together, especially when it's a spicy chicken sausage. It was just too interesting to pass up. While I enjoy it, specially wild pacific, the salmon dish didn't interest me. Especially when you pair it with lentil. I'm not much of a lentil person.

The sausage was a decent portion, atop a very tasty polenta with an onion marmalade and red pepper garnish.

F&W orgasm people! :dance3:

The sausage and polenta played off each other perfectly. I LOVED IT!

I now have a F&W favorite. Thanks Canada! :thumbsup2

Next up. Kiosk #5 Wellington, New Zealand (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=33904953#post33904953).

[DVCsince02]

My assistance comes with a price! I require many desserts for services rendered at TSM!! :cool2:

Did you just say you require "treats"?:eek:

woow 305

[katscradle]

I am glad Deb and you like Canada!
However this only represents one of our
provinces.

[georgemoe]

Our next kiosk is just after the Off Kilter stage and before the UK. The New Zealand kiosk offered both a seared scallop and the "now famous" Lamb Slider.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2611.jpg

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2612.jpg

This has been the busiest booth we've seen so far possibly due to the lamb slider popularity. I would have loved to have gotten the sea scallop but the polenta is getting to me and I'm due for a beer soon. Need to pace. So Deb takes over as she hasn't eaten since Athen's. Greece to New Zealand is a long time between eats. :)

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2614.jpg

So here it is. The famous lamb slider with tomato chutney.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2615.jpg
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2616.jpg

This fan favorite did very little for Deb and I. We both found the lamb extremely bland. So much so we didn't like it at all. Because I've had a few spicy items it may have impacted how I tasted this dish. But since Deb had a fairly clear pallette and didn't like it, I knew it wasn't just me.

So our unexpected opinion is that this little guy is just living a lie. A shame of a lie. :sad2:

Up next is Kiosk#6 - Cork, Ireland (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=33911579#post33911579).

[AnneR]

Evening all.

I see we are still going here. I still struggling with my headache but a nap this afternoon helped to bring it down to a manageable level. I have spent the evening finishing Jaime's trip report. Oh so funny.

It seems kind of quiet around here tonight but than again it is Saturday.

[georgemoe]

I am glad Deb and you like Canada!
However this only represents one of our
provinces.

I know. The one you dislike. ;)

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

F&W orgasm people! :dance3:



ha ha ha this is how I felt about the lobster chowder at Celebration Town Tavern but I didnt know how to put it without sounding really bad. Perfect description.

[georgemoe]

For now we are going to bypass Cork, Ireland and head to the Rose & Crown. This will serve two purposes. A beer and short break from the heat. Deb enjoys a Diet Coke while I opt for a pint of Bass. Don't mind my bug eyes. :)

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2619.jpg
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2621.jpg

Why I took this photo of the hats on the wall is beyond me. Maybe it's the heat.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2622.jpg

Next we head across the street to check out the UK shops. A couple more random meaningless photos. I bet Uncle Joe has the best mint balls. :)

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2617.jpg

What is this for? UK version of Exlax? :confused3

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2618.jpg

Next up will be Cork, Ireland.

[fakereadhed]

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2609.jpg


That looks really unappetizing. :crazy2: Glad it tasted better than it looks!

[OKW Lover]

Gasp! Its 32 degrees here this morning. Time to be headed for Florida.


Wait - I AM headed for Florida today. :dance3:


George - thanks for the food porn. Looks like Val & I have some eating to do. Tell Deb that Val loves riesling too. Me? :drinking:

[tlcoke]

Good morning everyone. I am getting ready to head toward Indianapolis and my flight to Dallas for the first stage of my trip. I'll check in during each leg of the trip.

[katscradle]

Good morning everyone.
George did you get any of the maple suger candy?

[AnneR]

Good morning all.

Safe travels Tracey.

Our day is more close to home. DD12 is walking in the CROP walk today and I have some errands to run. It is chilly this morning.

See you all later.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Oh My the heat is not gonna stop here until next weekend now. Pack light peeps on their way down it is killer hot. Figures my first fall in FL and we are breaking records every day. :rotfl:

[katscradle]

I know. The one you dislike. ;)

you got that right, but don't get me started.
I tried to qoute your post on New Zealend but couldn't so I will
just say I am sorry it was such a disapointment
for Deb and you.

Great pics and updates George. But skipping the motherland of Ireland to go to the UK??? I barely know you anymore! :sad2: ;)

[katscradle]

O.k it is cold here this morning.
John is sleeping and I am shivering, so
I have asked Kenny to start a fire in the
woodstove. I think it is 32 outside, and 62 inside.
This is a dream for Kenny to get to start the fire.
I will be watching him closely.

[scarlett873]

Safe travels to all headed to Florida!

[georgemoe]

Good morning everyone.

Hi Kat. Good morning. No I did not get the maple sugar candy. :eek: If theres anything I hate more than maple sugar candy, it's maple sugar candy. :eek: Way too sweet for me. I gag when I'm near it. :)

Great pics and updates George. But skipping the motherland of Ireland to go to the UK??? I barely know you anymore! :sad2: ;)

I don't care for maple suger candy either, but if you have a
sweet tooth this will satisfy the sweet tooth.

What's the problem!
I am cold, that's the problem.

Maple sugar candy = instant cavity. :scared1:

How's Kenny coming with the fire? Toasty yet?

[ADP]

Good morning everyone. I'm off to the gym. It's Sunday and that means NFL Football! Woot!!! Goooo Deeeeep!!!!

The fire is going now and it is up to 70, so yes I am
warming up. It's still 32 outside.

It's 32 outside, and it was 62 inside now

Hi Shelly. Yes it was hot. I was so hot, hot coffee would cool you down. :)

[shellyminnie]

Hi Shelly. Yes it was hot. I was so hot, hot coffee would cool you down. :)

Ain't that the truth!! :rotfl2: It's not supposed to cool down again until Friday and then it will only be 86!!

[UrsulasShadow]

It's so very nice and sparkly-clear and cool out today. Think I'll take a walk on the beach, and think of all you poor, poor Floridians and Florida visitors, melting in the oppressive heat.



Can you tell I'm trying to make myself feel better about not being in WDW?

:dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3:

"Sparkly-clear"? That's code for freezing! It was 32 in Plymouth at 6:00 this morning.

I'm going to make myself feel better by actually going to WDW!
:rolleyes:

[jen3003]

Good morning everyone!!!

Off to see Toy Story 1 & 2 this morning!!!

It's very cold here too, only in the 30's. Brrrr!!!

[sshaw10060]

Morning all. Just caught up on yesterdays posts. I am surprised the thread is still open. We went to the Toy Story double feature yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I don't think I had ever seen either of those movies on the big screen.

Plan for today is yard work and putting out some Halloween decorations followed by football.

Have a great day (hope you feel better George)

[tlcoke]

Oh My the heat is not gonna stop here until next weekend now. Pack light peeps on their way down it is killer hot. Figures my first fall in FL and we are breaking records every day. :rotfl:

Looks like it will cool down just in time for my Florida arrival. I have made it to Atlanta. I have a two hour layover here before proceeding to Dallas. I will arrive there at 4:15 local time. I'll be meeting up with my Brother tonight in Lewisville. My conference starts tomorrow afternoon.

Hi Scott. Thanks. A little better today but not enough to motivate me for anything. I unpacked and that's about it. Reading Jaime's awesome (80's word) HS Reunion trip report. :banana: Recording NASCAR and football.

Hey George, I am glad you are at least
feeling a little better.

[scarlett873]

I've started the pile...you know...the pile of stuff that I think needs to come with me for DAP...

I've got tons of those little stretchy gloves. They're all a bit girly in color, but everytime I come across another pair, it gets added to the pile...:thumbsup2

And my lanyard...and that nifty bag that we got from that amazingly clever group of folks on PCC 1.0...;)

I can probably add my capris to the pile now that it's a bit too chilly for capris...I'll throw in some jeans right before I leave.

Ahhhh...the anticipation of another trip is building! :cool1:

I have to get this trip out of the way before I start planning for DAP.
30 more minutes before they begin boarding my next flight.

George I am glad you are starting to feel better. I need to go back and read all your F&W posts, so I am prepared for when I go next week.

I am going to meet up with my brother tonight in Lewisville Texas. I haven't seen him since 2006.

I am going to do the same thing today Brandie. I did a bunch of laundry yesterday so everything is clean and just needs to go in the suitcase.
Now that it is starting to get cooler I feel like DAP is just around the corner. Before we know it we all will be at DATW having a great time. :cool1:

Hi Katherine! :wave2: Tell John I said hi.

[AnneR]

I have a trip before DAP that is in, gasp, 19 days.

I am a list maker, so I have started my packing list for DAP. My list has multiple columns including have, buy and packed.

[katscradle]

I thought I would post it is 46 F outside
right now, and it is trying to snow.
It has snowed for a minute so far.
Where is my Indian summer?

[AnneR]

It's sunny and about 65 degrees here. I guess I should not complain.

[georgemoe]

George I am glad you are starting to feel better. I need to go back and read all your F&W posts, so I am prepared for when I go next week.


Thanks Tracey! :goodvibes

I'm glad you are felling a little better today George.

Thanks Anna! Looking forward to seeing you again in eight weeks! :banana:

It's amazing what 36 hours of good rest can do. :yay:

[NancyIL]

For those of you who are organized enough to pack way in advance of a trip - that's great! I'm going to WDW in 9 days, and I'll pack the day before. I'll pack for my Dec. WDW/cruise/DAP trip the day before, too! :rotfl:

[georgemoe]

We are now at Cork, Ireland. Our next to the last kiosk for day 1 of F&W.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2623.jpg

There are two food offerings and a dessert here. A Lobster & Scallop Fisherman's Pie, a cheese item, and the Warm Chocolate Lava Cake. We would opt for the first and last items listed.


http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2624.jpg

First up is the pie. Nice crusted potato topping covering a slightly thickened base containing pieces and bits of lobster and scallops. I consider this a comfort food. I actually consider anything served with mashed potatoes comfort food. :) This was a good dish and had what I expected for seafood content. Enough so that I enjoyed it but wished there was more. I'm sure there were some portions that had more seafood in it than mine. Lucky ducks is what these people are. As earlier with some other dishes, I felt this one lacked the proper amount of salt. I understand why this is done so try to temper my opinion to disregard this.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2625.jpg

Enough said! :banana:

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2626.jpg

The next item is the lava cake and Deb got this a few days later with Shelly and Kim before Illuminations. She took a taste of the cake and a taste of the sauce then handed it to me. It was too chocolatey for her. :eek:

I didn't like the looks of this at all. Sorry for the fuzzy photo. It did have intense chocolate flavor and I was fine with that. What I didn't like was that the cake was like uncooked brownie batter. ICK! :mad:

I'm sure a lot of people will like it just for the flavor alone. It was ok but not for us.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2826.jpg

Paris France will be Kiosk #7 and our next Food & Wine stop (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=33912927#post33912927)!

[AnneR]

Thanks for the update with Ireland George. My DD15 is bemoaning the elimination of the potato and leek soup this year. Her favorite dish from last year.

[katscradle]

George the first item you got looks good
and is probably something I would enjoy.
However the chocolate cake item is something
I would not eat, looks aweful.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I am surprized they did not have
Bangers and mash as an item selection.

[sshaw10060]

Well, the Red Sox lost and are done for the season. Hopefully the Pats will fare better.

Coming soon.

Lava cake was gooood, but it was very very rich!! If it had been a bigger cake I couldn't have eaten it which is saying a lot for me!

Hi Shelly, you can have my share then.

[georgemoe]

This is one of the booths I was looking forward to just for the escargot. :) But it wouldn't be today. I was too full. :sad1: So now it was Deb's turn to try something.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2628.jpg

Deb got the Parmentier de Boeuf Braise' au Cabernet. Long name for a potato cupcake with beef filling. :)

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2629.jpg
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2630.jpg

Deb loved this dish! It is her favorite of F&W so far. Potato's are done nicely. Not dry at all. The beef is tender and described as shortribs. Seems more like a chuck roast but it is possible it's shredded short ribs. The cabernet sauce is kind of like a glaze. It was nice as well. If it had corn in it you could have passed it for shepherds pie. Which is not a knock at all.

Anyone timid about trying different foods and is worried should have no problem with this as long as you like beef and potatos.

Another nice thing about France is Deb got a photo with Marie. She was there everytime we passed France and many have said they have never seen her there. I guess we lucked out during F&W.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/georgemoe/georgemoe/IMG_2627.jpg

This would be our last food kiosk of the day, saving the rest for later in the week. Overall a very pleasing day for our first foray at F&W. :goodvibes

Link to Kiosk #8 - ???????? ** Coming soon **

[katscradle]

George awesome picture of Deb and Marie.
The offerings looked great.
I would love to have tried the escargots.
Thanks again for this!

[apurplebrat]

Great pictures George :cool1:

[kimisabella]

George - love reading all of your reviews! We're thinking of going down next October for a long weekend for our anniversary to go to F&W.

Went shopping today with my mother for some stuff for the December trip. She bought some shoes and tops/pants. She also bought 2 dresses, but, I had to remind her that this trip was not going to be a "dress up" trip. It's going to be more of a "on the go" trip :laughing:

[sshaw10060]

Not a good day for the New England teams at all. First the Red Sox then the Pats. Ugh.

[robind]

Well, the Red Sox lost and are done for the season. Hopefully the Pats will fare better.

Not a good day for the New England teams at all. First the Red Sox then the Pats. Ugh.

Glad I went out for the afternoon and didn't have to see it. Sad day in my house.

[katscradle]

Wow I can't believe they have let this
thread stay open this long.
Well we are on our way home from the
cottage.
We still have about an hour's drive before
we arrive home.
The weekend was cold but sunny, I did not
care for the bit of snow that fell earier today.
Here's hoping there is not anymore of that
until November 1st.

Thanks Andrea! You and Vin will love F&W. Right now we only have PCC 2.0 and 6 days after for 2010 but hope to squeeze in F&W if possible. Actually, Deb is going in April on a girls trip so I may be making October 2010 a "me only" trip. :woohoo:

Not a good day for the New England teams at all. First the Red Sox then the Pats. Ugh.

Some lousy throws by Brady today Scott but what got me the most was the Meriweather taunting penalty. Right before Denver tied it at 17. No excuse for that. I hope he pays dearly for it. :mad:

[exwdwcm]

George- thanks for all the great pics and food and wine mini TR!!

Paul- hope your finger is better soon- ouch!!!

Jeff- hope you and Val have a great time and safe travels.

Tracey- have a great trip- so sorry I'll miss you here in Dallas.

Kat- hope you guys had a great time at the cottage, safe trip home.

just did the TX state fair yesterday- oh fried goodness- i tried the fried pecan pie. I should have gone today, my friend saw Oprah- she is filming at the fair tomorrow. My 2yo son Will loved all the rides, so we are even more excited for WDW and DAP!

also saw Mary Poppins the musical today- fabulous- it was so much fun and my niece went nuts when Mary flew over top of us!:thumbsup2

[georgemoe]

Thanks for the update with Ireland George. My DD15 is bemoaning the elimination of the potato and leek soup this year. Her favorite dish from last year.

You're welcome Anne. I would have loved some of that soup.

George- thanks for all the great pics and food and wine mini TR!!

Anytime Michelle. Please go backto the TX Fair and stalk Oprah. Deb wants pictures. :lmao: It's one of her bucket list items to get tickets and go to Chicago and see Oprah.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

George thanks for all the food and wine pics and opinions. This will save us alot of wasted money. That chocolate cake thing looked nasty. We will get back over there soon hopefully, I just cant entertain the thought until this heat breaks a little. It is really hot right now. As you know first hand. :eek: It is just oppressive.

[tlcoke]

Michelle, I am sorry it did not work out for us to get together while I am here in Dallas. There is always DAP. Visited with my brother tonight in Lewisville. My flight from Atlanta to Dallas was late arriving, since we were 30 late leaving the gate at ATL. Had I known we were going to be that far behind schedule, I would have taken the airline up on the opportunity for a free flight and bumped to the other flight that arrive a few minutes after we did.

I think the rain followed me to Texas.:sad2:

[3guysandagal]

PHEWWW!!!

Finally caught up again!

Safe travels everyone, and DAP can't come soon enough! :cool1::banana::dance3::cheer2::banana::cool1:

Happy Monday!

I lost track of my DAP countdown so I am re-calculating:

My new DAP countdown is:
58 days "](19 days Oct.+30 days Nov+ 9 days Dec)
I am sure those with better math skills will correct me.:lmao:

It's a very chilly morning here. Not a holiday for me although it is for the federal government. My day is probably going to be even crazier than a typical Monday. Generally, my Mondays are yes full of meetings. Today, I am going to have to squeeze him some crisis response meetings. This was a difficult weekend. You probably will not see me much during the day today but I will be back tonight.

Have a great day everyone.

[sshaw10060]

Morning all. This is one of the few Monday holidays I actually get off work. Since the ER and ICU are open on holidays we treat all of them except Christmas and Thanksgiving like regular work days. We're supposed to take another day off instead, but it doesn't really matter since I don't usually use all my vacation time anyway.

[AnneR]

It's gonna be one of those days!

I am all ready overbooked with meetings and other issues...

but now I come into my office, back story. Our central office is located in downtown Frederick, Maryland, a beautiful charming city with lots of historic buildings. We have a campus of buildings many of them historic plus a new office buidling. My office tends to get relocated every 12-18 months. Most recently, I have been relocated to the "cabins". The site of our new office building was once the "Barbara Fritchie Motel". My cabin is one of the original brick motel buildings. It is 89 years old with lots of character meaning nothing is square or level. I have a platform under my chair to keep me from rolling out the door.:lmao:

Long story to tell you that we have been battling late night party animals - we have had traps set and last week I had maintenance over several times regarding a smell. I have not been in my office since Thursday.

OMG the smell this morning - yep we caught one!:scared1::scared1::scared1:

Airing my office out now.

[georgemoe]

Good morning everyone! Back to work day for Deb and I. :sad1:

F&W updates will continue tonight. This time we will go clockwise around WS. :banana:

George thanks for all the food and wine pics and opinions. This will save us alot of wasted money. That chocolate cake thing looked nasty.

Good Monday Morning Everyone! :wave:
Wow! 300 plus pages and this thread is still open. Is that some kind of record? :rolleyes1

2 months from today is the TSM party. Woo!!!

I played TSM for the Wii last night. We barrowed it from a friend. I thought it was pretty good. It was a bit confusing to work through the interactive menus, but we eventually figured it out.

[jeanigor]

So what's new since Thursday afternoon?

[TheBeadPirate]

... Lori made a few headware acquisitions for DATW at DAP. Certainly nothing to compete with the original ... just enough to show team membership :dance3:

You are aware that we will no doubt have our own dedicated security detail provided by Disney... I suspect that they will end up acquiring all ste-e-e-eks and several other "unusual" items :scared1:

Good morning everyone!
Happy Columbus day to all my american friends.
50 day till we are in WDW! :yay::yay::yay:

[OKW Lover]

Morning all!

Val & I got to BWV about 7:30 last night. Trudged abut a mile and a half to our room to leave our carry-on's and then decided to head for Epcot for a quick snack at F&W.

After walking back about a mile, we took one of the stairwells (rather than going all the way back to the elevator) down to the boardwalk level and were immediately hit by a wall of humidity. Val's glasses fogged over but fortunately she didn't run into anything before they de-fogged. :goodvibes

Walking along the boardwalk to Epcot we were surprised by how many folks were out there. We also noticed that we were already sweating heavily. :scared1:

Went into Epcot and stopped immediately at the gift shop by IG to pick up a F&W swipe card and then had to face the difficult decision; which way to turn. Should we go right towards France or left towards UK? A decision further hampered by us not knowing just what it was that we wanted to eat first. In the end (all of 30 seconds) we decided to head for escargot. Well, I was going to escargot. Val was going for the short ribs. Oh, and we got the creme brullee and to drink we shared a cosmo slushie. All and all it was very tasty although the slushie could have used more vodka. All together it was $21.25 for our snack.

OK, hunger is abated, now what? We knew that some other DIS'ers were in the park too, but didn't see any DIS stuff (it was dark at this point) and we were pretty hot and tired so we decided we'd just head back to the room. Stopped at the Screen Door to get a package of bagels and look at the watches for a possible christmas present for our daughter to give to her partner. Wound up also picking up a WDW magnetic sticker to go on the new car (which I pick up on Friday!) and a diet coke.

Back in the room, it was time to wrestle with the internet connection (still free for members - wonder how long?) but to no avail. It was taking several minutes just for it to load the splash screen - when it would even go that far. I called the help line but was on hold for a while and I decided I'd just leave it for the morning. It was time for bed. :cloud9:

Sorry we didn't meet up with the other DIS'ers. Hopefully there will be other opportunities before we leave Thursday.

[tlcoke]

So what's new since Thursday afternoon?

Let's see, my vacation started on Friday, I flew to Texas on Sunday and will attend a conference until Thursday noon, then I fly to WDW for 10 days.

You are now caught up with me.

[chirurgeon]

Happy Monday everyone. Welcome home George and Deb. Have another Cosmo Slushie for me Jeff. Try not to get over heated.

2 months from today we will be going to tea and then to the DAP party. And at this point I will be recovering from DATW. No early mornings for this trip for me (aside from my early morning flight to GET to WDW)

Everyone have a good week.

Kim

[kimisabella]

Thanks Andrea! You and Vin will love F&W. Right now we only have PCC 2.0 and 6 days after for 2010 but hope to squeeze in F&W if possible. Actually, Deb is going in April on a girls trip so I may be making October 2010 a "me only" trip. :woohoo:


A "me only" trip sounds good to me!! We have been down once for F&W, two years ago, but the first day of F&W was our last full day in WDW and we weren't able to really explore and enjoy it.

[georgemoe]

So what's new since Thursday afternoon?

I'm back home. :sad1:

Thought you disappeared Todd. :scared1: Glad to have you back. :)

Hi Jeff and Val. That was our experience with BWV's in May. They put us way way way way way way way way out at the end of the corridor. :mad: The nice thing is you can walk right to Epcot. Once the glasses de-fog. :) Hot enough for you? :eek:

Glad you enjoyed the Paris kiosk. Have fun today!

When we stayed at AKL, it seemed to me that they put us out at the back forty. It took an eternity to get from the lobby to our room!

Wow. Over 4600 posts and 300 pages and we're STILL here! :eek:

Good morning everyone! :wave2:

[georgemoe]

Happy Monday everyone. Welcome home George and Deb. Have another Cosmo Slushie for me Jeff. Try not to get over heated.

Kim

Hi Kim. You do mean, "Sorry you had to come home." don't you? :rotfl2:

:wave2:

Hi Brandie. :wave: I may have missed it. Any news on the face-2-face last week?

A "me only" trip sounds good to me!! We have been down once for F&W, two years ago, but the first day of F&W was our last full day in WDW and we weren't able to really explore and enjoy it.

Sorry to hear you only had one day Andrea. But one day is better than none. :) I wish I could have done later October but my work prevents it. Next year I'm considering the first week of November if it extends out that far. Then I'll be going in November and December. :banana:

Good morning everyone! :wave2:

Hi Dodie! :)

Hi Brandie. :wave: I may have missed it. Any news on the face-2-face last week?


Not yet...still waiting...

[exwdwcm]

Happy Monday All! I have my interview with a marketing staffing firm on Wednesday. I pray they find something else for me like yesterday!

Michelle, I am sorry it did not work out for us to get together while I am here in Dallas. There is always DAP. Visited with my brother tonight in Lewisville. My flight from Atlanta to Dallas was late arriving, since we were 30 late leaving the gate at ATL. Had I known we were going to be that far behind schedule, I would have taken the airline up on the opportunity for a free flight and bumped to the other flight that arrive a few minutes after we did.

I think the rain followed me to Texas.:sad2:yuck on the delayed flight, but glad you made it safely. It has been rainy here for like 10 days straight. We haven't seen the sun in a while!

It's gonna be one of those days!

ILong story to tell you that we have been battling late night party animals - we have had traps set and last week I had maintenance over several times regarding a smell. I have not been in my office since Thursday.

OMG the smell this morning - yep we caught one!:scared1::scared1::scared1:

Airing my office out now.Gross!! hope the smell gets better for you and that your busy day is over with quickly!! :thumbsup2

... Lori made a few headware acquisitions for DATW at DAP. Certainly nothing to compete with the original ... just enough to show team membership :dance3:

You are aware that we will no doubt have our own dedicated security detail provided by Disney... I suspect that they will end up acquiring all ste-e-e-eks and several other "unusual" items :scared1: I am not able to do the DATW, but I am sure i will see plenty of pics on FB or here! can't wait to see what creative things you guys have planned! :wizard:;)

Jeff- hope you and Val have a great day today and hope the humidity lessens a bit. Eat and drink plenty for us!

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Good Mornin everyone. We had a fun day yesterday. We saw Toy Story and the kiddos loved it. My new mommy friend is a Disney nut like me and she is getting passes so the kids can go together. How fun. Whoo Hooo more Disney and Ethan will have friends to go with to boot.

I introduced the new mommies to the DIS. So hopefully they will come over and join our gang.

Still hot. Crazy hot down here. It is gonna break from 92 to 86 on Saturday. Hopefully before the buddy walk for Ferris.

[exwdwcm]

Maybe we aren't shut down yet because they are busy finalizing the plans for DAP? :goodvibes:thumbsup2

[Madi100]

Happy Monday!

Busy weekend here.

Madi had a slumber party for her birthday. We had friends from out of town in. Went to two soccer games in the FREEZING cold weather, but at least the snow stopped. Went to my dad's house. Had family pictures. Went and bought two rats :( :( :( Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!!!

[TheBeadPirate]

Let's see, my vacation started on Friday, I flew to Texas on Sunday and will attend a conference until Thursday noon, then I fly to WDW for 10 days.

You are now caught up with me.

Hey Tracey...... It's Lori (this time!)

Remind me at the buddy walk to talk to you about getting together in Louisville, if our schedules coordinate. I'm looking at heading home to visit my Grandpa in rehab (the physical kind, not the boozey kind) in November and figured if we could manage it maybe we could meet up......if my other family doesn't drive me nuts first...... I am apparently related to martyrs....every one of them....:rolleyes1


I figured if I try to remember and you try to help me remember, then I MIGHT remember to talk to you about it!;)


This cruise is not coming fast enough!:headache:

Good morning everyone!

I stayed up till the Rockies Lost last night. :sad2: Now I am sleepy and it is hard to focus on work. I have a bunch of stuff to do today. Wednesday we are having a blowout sale here at work. We are trying to get ride of all of the special orders people never picked up in the last year and a half. I have to go out to the warehouse and put prices on all the doors and windows plus move them. We just moved them at the end of July now I have to move them again. :guilty:

[kimisabella]

Happy Columbus Day to all of my fellow Italian-Americans!

The kids have off from school today and I promised to take them to the dreaded Build A Bear this afternoon after they went to the dentist. The want the "Jonas" dog, which itself is $25 plus clothes for the stupid thing.

Oh, and I almost forgot...................Go YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cocowum]

yuck on the rats, i saw your posts and pics on FB- i am so sorry!!!! how has it gone so far?


Yeah, right. No camera. :( It's not gone bad, because I don't have to touch them and they are in their cage. They sure do poop a lot, though. YUCK!

[AnneR]

Nicole - can I send my office visitors your way too??:rotfl2:

[chickie]

Nicole,
You're a better woman than I. I did have a gerbil when I was a kid, but I really don't think I could have a rat in my house.:eek:
I'd much rather stick with a dog and maybe even a cat. Millie REALLY wants a cat, but I don't think we can talk her dad into it. With him being a farm boy, I was lucky we got a dog in the house, much less a cat. "Cats belong in the barn", he always says.:sad2:

[TXYankee]

First post--I think

Nice to meet you!


Happy Manic Monday!

[Madi100]

On another note, besides the stupid rats, we might be about this close to coming to an agreement on the house we are looking at. The man is stubborn. He came down a few more thousand, but told us he'd leave us his lawn mower, curling iron, and blow dryer that are in the drawer. You don't know how excited I am about the new curling iron :( What is making this deal work are the realtors willing to take less for commission. He just won't budge. It's a difference of 3000 dollars, and he won't budge.

Tell him to keep the lawn mower, curling iron and blow dryer and lower the price. Heck, to sweeten the deal I'll send you a breadmaker, mop and a 30 piece china set for you to give to him.

Any one else have any thing to donate to the Drop The House Price Fund?

[guynwdm]

It's been a while since I had time to post. Well with it being Columbus day the post office is closed. The drama of the D23 lost package continues and now I will have to file a police report on Tuesday instead of today. The post office will have to provide more information than they have provided so far so I can determine when it must have been stolen. I am still hoping they screwed up and did not deliver it to the right place and it can be found.

Note to self... consider other alternatives, insure the package and send to my office instead of my house so that way there is someone there to claim it and get it to me.

Anything I get at DAP is definitely getting carried on the plane. :laughing:

[kathrna]

Helllo! everyone! Have a great Monday!
We went to the Christmas Carol train on Saturday in Spencer, NC. That was a drive in and of itself! But it was neat. Having gotten home from the airport at 2 am, we didn't make it to opening. So we waited for 2 1/2 hours. UGH! But it was neat and I'm glad that I can say, "been there, done that".
We all have today off and we are enjoying our visit with my mom. We always live so far from home. Visitors are ALWAYS appreciated!
Make it a great day!

Oh my Rob! :eek: I didn't know this was going on! I am so sorry that this has happened. :grouphug: I would be very, very, very upset. I hope it sows up.

Thanks... All my D23 expo stuff for the most part is gone. I am guessing I will be spending some time on ebay trying to find the stuff again. Some of the stuff was signed so that is not possible to get. I wish the stuff would show up or that the post office somehow finds it. I live on dead end private street. The place they would have left it would be seen by maybe people in 15 townhouses. It just seems so weird to have been stolen of my porch.

Nicole, everyone who is "sweetening the deal" is cracking me up. I've got an old faded flower pot that the renters left you can have. Good luck. It's hard to wait. I'm surprised that the realtors are willing to take the hit. --And really, rats, plural??!!

Kat, what has been your beverage for the afternoon?

Rob, I am so sorry to hear about your package. I'd say that if you lived in south Florida it would have been expected. I hope that it turns up.

Must be a pretty deluxe model. I bet if James was able to use it this would be a done deal. ;)

Seriously, hoping the best for you Nicole. :goodvibes

[AnneR]

Nicole - I can kick in a complete fisher price kitchen, a coffee table and a great dog dish left from the previous owner do you think that will do it?

Seriously though - I am home a little early cuzz I got those call a working mom never wants to get - "I missed the bus". Ok darling I can be there in 35 minutes. What:scared1: "I have to wait that long". Well yes you do. And then, "my toes are cold" Why? "I have my flip flops on"

Kids - gotta love em.

This started at 9:30 this morning with Baileys in my tea, and has continued like that right through the whole day.
I would have liked a nap earier, but John's friend Richard is here.
He's a wonderful man.
A excellent carpenter, but he works installing windows for a living.
John's design and Richard's skills are what is making a beautiful entertainment unit in my livingroom.
I will take a picture and post it when they are done.
However I don't think they will get it done today.

Of course, chopped olives and mayo makes a great sandwich but please don't mix the PB with the mayo.

[AnneR]

Where's John???

He has a mission.

No, it is separate. You make it like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich just replace the jelly with the fluff.

Just checking in to see what everyone is up to. I spent the day doing yard work. It made me realize how out of shape I really am. We went to the jack-o-lantern spectacular down in Providence tonight. It was pretty neat to see all those intricately carved pumpkins.Back to work in the morning.

Hey Todd! Are you still around? Just wondering how you were. You've been pretty busy lately. The boards are kind of quiet w/o you. And I miss seeing all the evil female villians so often.

Baileys with tea??!! I've never heard of THAT! It sounds so good. What kind of tea do you use? I've had Baileys and coffee, but not tea. Oh the mornings I could have! :goodvibes

I just use Tetley and steep the tea so it is good and strong.
Then just add a little Baileys.
I minute your fine the next well be careful.
Another favorite is tea and Grand Marnier.
I think that's how you spell it.

Another nice thing about France is Deb got a photo with Marie. She was there everytime we passed France and many have said they have never seen her there. I guess we lucked out during F&W.

Well, I haven't examined the labels too closely but I imagine you will find a good dose of youthful enthusiasm, random joy and a mouthful of fun.

If you are looking for the boring stuff, I would say high in sugar, fat and carbs. A small amount of protein on the side.

Morning all!

Val & I got to BWV about 7:30 last night. Trudged abut a mile and a half to our room to leave our carry-on's and then decided to head for Epcot for a quick snack at F&W.

After walking back about a mile, we took one of the stairwells (rather than going all the way back to the elevator) down to the boardwalk level and were immediately hit by a wall of humidity. Val's glasses fogged over but fortunately she didn't run into anything before they de-fogged. :goodvibes

Walking along the boardwalk to Epcot we were surprised by how many folks were out there. We also noticed that we were already sweating heavily. :scared1:

Went into Epcot and stopped immediately at the gift shop by IG to pick up a F&W swipe card and then had to face the difficult decision; which way to turn. Should we go right towards France or left towards UK? A decision further hampered by us not knowing just what it was that we wanted to eat first. In the end (all of 30 seconds) we decided to head for escargot. Well, I was going to escargot. Val was going for the short ribs. Oh, and we got the creme brullee and to drink we shared a cosmo slushie. All and all it was very tasty although the slushie could have used more vodka. All together it was $21.25 for our snack.

OK, hunger is abated, now what? We knew that some other DIS'ers were in the park too, but didn't see any DIS stuff (it was dark at this point) and we were pretty hot and tired so we decided we'd just head back to the room. Stopped at the Screen Door to get a package of bagels and look at the watches for a possible christmas present for our daughter to give to her partner. Wound up also picking up a WDW magnetic sticker to go on the new car (which I pick up on Friday!) and a diet coke.

Back in the room, it was time to wrestle with the internet connection (still free for members - wonder how long?) but to no avail. It was taking several minutes just for it to load the splash screen - when it would even go that far. I called the help line but was on hold for a while and I decided I'd just leave it for the morning. It was time for bed. :cloud9:

Sorry we didn't meet up with the other DIS'ers. Hopefully there will be other opportunities before we leave Thursday.

Wow- Im sweating just reading this. I hope the weather breaks while youre there. We're staying at the BWI for the first time for DAP- can't WAIT! :yay:

Can't wait to hear more about your trip!

Marshmallow fluff has negative calories due to its lighter than air composition.

When we stayed at AKL, it seemed to me that they put us out at the back forty. It took an eternity to get from the lobby to our room!

We've done that! The walk from the bus stop to our room was a killer! But we had an awesome savannah view so once we got to the room, it was worth it.

Night all - I am calling it quits. I chat with all of you in the morning.

Depends on the type of bread I guess. ;)

Thanks Liz. :wave2:

In calif. the fluff was in the baking aisle. When I moved to Boston, I was very confused to find it next to the PB until someone clued me in to the concept of fluffernutter sandwiches. YUM!

They will have to be on the front lawn because there's not enough room in the back.
