CSE-- Pg. 74 SATAN'S HAMMER, Ch.18, pg.160 "Goodnight Sweetheart" epilogue

[sewmess]

Smidgy, I'm so glad you comment. Sometimes Nebo gets wound up in his own head - and on this trip particularly; there was nobody else around to get him unwound. It was nice to hear that you were glad that he and you were able to enjoy Illumintations together. It was a warm fuzzy moment.

And Nebo - I would probably be right where you left us, vomiting two days after the event, if it had been me who'd banged my head in Libery Square. I have a pathological hatred of hospitals & very nearly that bad a dislike for doctors. However, I would not have been right. If you don't get professional help now, I will be quite put out.

 

[TeresaNJ]

Holy cow! I can NOT believe you didn't go to the ER after that fall, and that the EMTs weren't more aggressive with trying to get you to go. Same goes with the concierge lady, and the lifeguard! As an ER nurse for many, many years, you would have been classified as emergent in triage, and sent for an immediate head CT! I am dumbfounded that Disney didn't take a more proactive stance in your injury! I know they couldn't force you to be seen by a physician, but I just can't believe they let you, a head injury patient, say you didn't want to go to the ER. The EMTs should have clearly explained to your wife what could happen to you, and that you really had to go to the ER! Letting you make that decision in your state was very negligent of them.

I'm anxiously awaiting to hear how everything turned out. I'm assuming fine, since you seem to be having no problem writing your TR, which always makes me LOL! Sorry, again, about the fam not finding WDW as magical as you do. I hate when that happens!

 

[pkondz]

Ok, Tuesday night, Nebo in the stroller, and Epcot on the horizon.

Thanks for the photo. Did Smidgy take that or was it Photopass?

One thing though;
I wasn't buying it.

What?

You'll see, and I was RIGHT!

I find that amazing that you'd suspect that far in advance how it was going to turn out.

But before we left, I really needed one thing done for me, and this I could not do by myself. ( easy out there)

Hmmm.... something you can't do yourself....

That's such a long list that I'm not even going to try to guess.

It's like living in Winnipeg.
In January.

You are so wrong. Winnipeg in January is nowhere close to that dark


It's darker....

And a lot colder.


A lot.

There, I just accurately equated somebody's home town with my behinder so now whenever they think of home,,,,

That's true. Whenever I leave town, I look in the rearview mirror (Hey! Nebo, you could've used one of those! ) and think, "Home's behind me now."


Sorry to burst your bubble, but when you talk about your anatomy that way, the mind just balks.

You know, in retrospect, I think it's sentences like these that I just asked her that cause her to drink, when you never can see them coming, and you know, that sooner or later, it's going to be explained and it's going to make sense, it's got to be a frightening living!

I thought you were going to say that's what led to the first marriage ending.

Nebo: "Diane, would you take a look down here for me?"
Smidgy: "I'm outta here!"

"Oh my goodness, is that what I think it is?"

"Yes, I got in the way of the Lilyputian Olympic Javelin toss"

Okay, let's see if I've got this right. Smidgy had to look down below the belt... and she saw something really small. Small enough that it resembled a 'Lilyputian Olympic Javelin'.

My condolences, Smidgy.

Tweezers would have helped but she got it out with her fingernails.

a. Boy that's really small; and
b. Didn't that hurt?

I wanted to get her to put it on a piece of paper so I could photo it,

but it is a family board after all and we can't have that sort of picture on here.

this wheechair folded up better than a transformer and I put it in my pocket and walked on.

I like the imagery there.

nobody will listen anyway to advice from a person in a baby buggy anyway.

It's not so much the baby buggy as the pacifier you're hoovering

The line to the giant golf ball sucked them in like the world's biggest magnet!

It'll do that.

Test Track is closed still, Soarin' (apost,,, oh never mind),

apostles?
apostasy?
apostate?

:

it's time for listening to the Dench wench.
(I know, I need to fire my writers)

Actually, I like Dench wench.... but... yes.

I mentioned in the commentary section of the report something nobody answered yet, and I want to repeat the challenge, obscure though it probably is:

Sorry, I misread it. I thought you didn't want me to spoil it. I saw where you typed "If Ponzi can't get it" and thought "Ponzi, don't tell it".

Anyway, it's too late. Mrs T already got it.

One ride in and I'm already not likinig this at all, I feel really stupid and wish I had a huge bandage around my head or something. When it was time to get in a car, I threw in a
limp for good measure.

I probably would've done the same. "See? I really do need the stroller. Look! Limping! I'm not just trying to line jump."

This was another major hassle with the wheelchair, especially when I couldn't find which one was mine after we got out, so I think we just left it and thankfully, there was not a big line to go see Crush and got in right away for the next Turtle Talk Show.

You don't mention it, but how did you pick your stroller out after crush? Was there just one left or was it just "best guess"?

And the 3 newbies just weren't as amazed again as I would have thought they'd be.

Do you think that people are getting so used to the amazing (movies with CGI/3D/etc...) that when it shows up, it's just not a big deal anymore?

Even the other night at MK when I had to leave early due to a previous engagement, I made sure to tell them that WIshes needs to be seen from Main Street.
When I asked how they liked it I got a mostly, "Meh" answer. Turned out they saw it from the back in Frontierland near, what else, BTMR.

You gotta learn to let go. They'll either learn... or they won't. And there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it.

Then I practiced making on a dime spins and turns in my stroller, if I had one of those balls on the wheels to spin them I could have really hauled butt.

You should reserve one ahead of time for the next trip. You're probably going to need one, so might as well plan ahead.

Heh. Plan 'a head'.

I saw another old guy sitting out there by himself in a wheelchair and asked him to race. "C'mon, you and me, mano to mano, last one to the beer stand buys" but he wan't having any of it.

Maybe he was more of a hard liquor kinda guy.

A roped off area in the Plaza, FACING all the countries, that, after we asked, is only for handicapped, or WHEELCHAIR users!

Well. At last! A perk!

So, now that we have a terrific viewing spot, the three of them say they are going to go in search of food.

Well at least you and Smidgy had a nice spot for viewing.

So much for Todd taking charge of taking me around.
Oh well.

No offense, but that sucks. If you give your word that you'll do something, then do it. Make other arrangements if you have to, but...

Well it's family and maybe I shouldn't have said that.

While we waited, I did get to talking to an older guy in a chair, who was from?
NO, New York!

But he was born in New Jersey!

Phew! Close call.

It took me a while to warm up to him at first, he wasn't in a wheelchair, but one of those tricked out ECV things with actual MOTORS!
"Yeah, you think you're hot stuff driving around in that at night picking up chicks, but you won't see me stranded cuz I ran out of battery juice."

You should get yourself a nice chair with a v8.

you know how hard it is to find something to eat at Epcot can be.

True. Your options are extremely limited...

Being an EMH night, the race to the busses wan't the same, although I did feel a few times like I was in a battering ram, but Smidgy did a great job driving.

Another perk! Now you get to be the one smacking into people's shins instead of vice versa.

I did have to tell this one little old lady when we got there that she needs to get off my lap now, and she wasn't happy about that, mainly because she was staying at a monorail resort.

But... you were not on rails, let alone one.

Some people just don't get the concept of the monorail.

But you probably wouldn't have shooed her off that quickly if instead of a little old lady, it was a nice young one.

And, no, nope, nope nope, (I'm bringing home a baby, bumblebee,, any guesses why I'm saying that?), I'm not going anywhere.

no, nope, nope nope... I have no idea. I had to google it to even find out about the kids song... and I still don't know why you used it here.

My head is pounding again, I'm sure I overdid it last night, wheelchair or no wheelchair, I was still in and out of it a lot, plus a lot of visual stimulation that can cause a headache on a normal day, then the fact I took my afternoon stroll across the pond for a Mai Tai,

Too bad.

and:

No, I'm NOT letting Todd fake me out again on the pushing me around, no, I don't want to especially, interfer with Diane and Jackson possibly being able to interact more, because Todd is NOT pushing me around, and she has to,

'nuff said on that.

Yes, when I was little, when I got in trouble and Mom asked me, "I hope you had a good reason for what you just did young man", well, yeah, I was always prepared, much to her chagrin.

Why am I not surprised.

Ok, OK, let's hear it!
How many trip reports do you read where the word "chagrin" is dropped in so flawlessly?

This might possibly be the very first TR where such a superlative word has been used.
Bravo sir. Bravo.

(I wonder if he bought that)

Head stil hurts, and now it's wearing me down.

I guess so after 3 days of headaches.

But also cuz even when I am with them, the family I mean, things haven't gone anywhere near like I thought they would.

It never will. Watch National Lampoon... uh, pretty much any or them.

In all the trip reports I've done, almost every time I talk about watching Illuminations, I mention how I cant wait to see this with my grandchild, Jackson. Hoping to have him seated on my shoulders, people behind me be darned!

I know. And I'm really bummed about it. I even told Ruby and she said, "Awww..."

Funny, it never ocurred to me then, but thinking now about it, I probably would have loved to get a chocolate sundae from the food court, I just never think of it when I'm there cuz that's never one of the counters I ever order from.

That would've made the following even more special!

Monymony answered after a couple rings, but was clearly mentally disjointed.

Uh, huh. Sure. She was mentally disjointed. Sure.

I put the phone down, looked at the window as my mind was about to consider, "What next" and LEAPED up!

I've never, ever, had something come on so quickly, and I moved fast as I could.

I didn't make it, vomiting with my hands over my mouth on the way to the bathroom!

Oh, boy. Everyone else has already chimed in but... after that, you must've been a little concerned.

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You vomit 3 DAYS LATER?! What the heck?! Talk about a delayed reaction! There's NOTHING magical about that! It's a good think you were in your room instead of outside reading... or at the bar. They would have cut you off for good!
We're all waiting with bated breath and eager ears to find out if (or WHEN) you called for help!

 

[nebo]

You better tell me right now, young man, that you immediately called the concierge zombie and had her call the Reedy Creek gang to get you to the hospital, pronto. You are in so much trouble if you didn't call for help!

Um, well, I was considering before, calling for a pizza, does that count?

The so called dumb wife from my TR (aka: Lady H) is sitting with her foot elevated at the moment because she may have broken her toe. She thinks she has the answer to your question. She asked me to pass on the answer. If it don't come out right, remember, I'm just the messenger. Please don't shoot me?

Ok here goes.

The reference to 11/22 is the date John F. Kennedy was shot back in 1963.
Ruby would be the reference to Jack Ruby who killed Lee Harvey Oswald.
Oswald as we all know (or should know if we studied history) assassinated JFK.

Is she right?

She also said the reference to the grey matter was just bad.

And for the record, no she didn't break her toe trying to kick me. She missed.

As my mom would always say, "time to call the Toe Truck".

And tell Heather she nailed it. My next clue was going to add it to be Ruby Lee, so atta girl. You win Thumper Man for an evening.

What Margy said!

How disappointing when others dont feel the love like you do, especially after you looked forward to this trip so much.

You know I don't go to Disney parks much, but right now we have CM previews for the new Fantasyland expansion. I asked hubby if he wanted to go. He said "not particularly" (he is also a CM). I guess maybe I will see it sometime before I die, maybe....

Don't get me wrong, they still liked it and had fun, it just didn't turn out the way I expected it to.

I think that bump also messed with your memory. I never said or gave any impression oh you again. I smile real big when I see your name on the caller ID.

and we chatted for awhile

I did lose you or thought the phone went dead so now I know why, you sure play a good bluff, you never let on how serious of a situation this was for you.

I'm teasin'. You weren't unfriendly, but you most definately were distracted and distraught and some other Disses if I think of them.
Ok, so now you say I hid how serious it was, but at first you thoiught I was dying from my phone calls. Where is it? Oh, here.
But you're right, even I had no idea how bad it was, and I guess I still don't. Looking back at it now, I definately should have gone to see someone, but at the time, well, I figured "this too shall pass". And I wasn't talking about the bad hot dog.

Marita and Nebo, before you guys start guessing weight I need to give you some inside scoop on the birth weights of DS and DD. I was overdue with both of them by seven days and to be honest, I guess I'm a little like everything in Texas when it comes to babies. DS weighed 9 pounds 8ounces and DD weighed an even 10 pounds! To say I am "all baby" is putting it mildly! Anyway, you both are free to adjust your guesses based on the new information!

I can give you more scoop based on what the midwife just told me on Tuesday, but I will wait and see how/if you alter your guesses!

Ten Pkondz? Wow, that's a dumbbell. I mean, that people work out with. Ok, my new revision bumps it up to only 7-11, final answer.

Dang !! I would have loved to have that primo Illuminations spot on our last trip. And here I thought I did all my research and I find out we could watched them from the handicapped area. Curses ... foiled again !! I will have to remember that if I ever have to be Scooter Mom again. Which I hope I don't. Because this whole not walking thing really sucks.

Dude ..... you really should have gone to the ER. How horrible that days later you were still feeling so badly.

Sue, yeah, it was a great spot, but it's still better to walk. But should a stroller or scooter be needed again, we know where to go now. What's great is the flaming barge is right in front of you, and you don't have to look behind to see any of the countries light up. The spot didn't fill up either, there was still plenty of room for more buggies when the show started.

Nebo, before I read the latest chapter I have to tell you about the "run in" I had with a ferocious "pack" of yellow jackets. I left work late yesterday evening and as I approached my car I noticed there were 7-8 yellow jackets on the hood. I immediately had two thoughts. The first was "Oh crap, Nebo would have a fit if he could see this" followed closely by a second thought that this was a dramatic re-interpretation of "Lord of the Flies" ala "Lord of the Yellow Jackets" on my car!

I seriously experienced inner turmoil over how in the frick to jump into the car without antagonizing the little devils into stinging me. I stood there for a good 30 seconds contemplating my best strategy and finally just went for it. A few flew angrily away as I slammed the door shut, but several remained on the hood while I drove out of the employee parking lot and onto the road, hanging on through sheer evil until I accelerated to about 55 mph.

The whole time I found myself thinking "Nebo is never going to believe this"!

I hate yellow jackets!

Double D I hate all bugs, ALL. Even cute little ladybugs, I would probably be still standing there.
But I'm not sure going 55 in your workplace driveway is a good idea.

Nebo, I just finished reading the new chapter!

I agree with Margymas and Marita. This vomiting you experienced is unsettling!

You think?
This is my dilemma usually when writing chpaters like this;
I knew when I added that at the end that mostly just that is what is going to be mentioned, and anything before it will mostly be forgotten, right? And I understand it and why, but sometimes I want to go and rescue a couple lines from chapters like that which I think might have been funny, and use them in another chapter, know what I mean?

Then again, sometimes there just isn't ANYTHING funny or interesting in the chapter worth quoteing anyway. But it was just the perfect spot to throw in the throw up, and I dind't want to start a new chapter by throwing up, although, I guess I can am going to anyway, aren't I? Oh well, resume.

 

[nebo]

And, I know that I never told you where I was working now. I didn't because I was pretty sure I wouldn't be there long and I was right. Found a new job! I start at Ditka's in Oakbrook tomorrow.

Hey Shan, that's just great, tips there have got to be good. Here's to everybody ordering the Surf and Turf on your six tops.

DH has cerebral palsy which causes partial paralysis on his right side. He went through many surgeries as a child, and his mom was a librarian, so he read a lot. Follow My Leader definitely resonated with him.

I was a big fan of The Outsiders and the sequel, That Was Then, This Is Now. My best friend in 7th grade, Celeste, lived across the street from the main library. We were bad girl nerds. We used to check out books like The Outsiders, then sit in the below-ground level patio to read and smoke! Oh, we were rebels!

I'm waiting to find out how soon you told Smidgy about the vomiting. Are you the type to hide it from her, only to mention it casually later, or did you let her know right away?

Boy, you both sound so much like how I was when I was young. Tell him I totally get it with that book, I wonder what it would be like to read now?
Next chapter I'll talk more about the art of regurgitating, and spousal disclosures. And why am I talking now like Dean Koontz?

<3 you really are a mess dude...


LYMI. cmj.

Well thank you Colleen.
Yes, I'm getting more and more like that prehistoric fish you let me order at Rose and Frown.

Smidgy, I'm so glad you comment. Sometimes Nebo gets wound up in his own head - and on this trip particularly; there was nobody else around to get him unwound. It was nice to hear that you were glad that he and you were able to enjoy Illumintations together. It was a warm fuzzy moment.

And Nebo - I would probably be right where you left us, vomiting two days after the event, if it had been me who'd banged my head in Libery Square. I have a pathological hatred of hospitals & very nearly that bad a dislike for doctors. However, I would not have been right. If you don't get professional help now, I will be quite put out.

I'm out of excuses, but I do like the phrasing, "quite put out" though.

Holy cow! I can NOT believe you didn't go to the ER after that fall, and that the EMTs weren't more aggressive with trying to get you to go. Same goes with the concierge lady, and the lifeguard! As an ER nurse for many, many years, you would have been classified as emergent in triage, and sent for an immediate head CT! I am dumbfounded that Disney didn't take a more proactive stance in your injury! I know they couldn't force you to be seen by a physician, but I just can't believe they let you, a head injury patient, say you didn't want to go to the ER. The EMTs should have clearly explained to your wife what could happen to you, and that you really had to go to the ER! Letting you make that decision in your state was very negligent of them.

I have to agree with you; and even before they left I had to do all the question asking as they weren't forthcoming with head injury info at all.
I dunno, Diane said I was a real jerk when I was just coming to, maybe they took it personally?
I really wish I knew now, how the "Henry" incident played out at Epcot, from my Jingle Bells report when he went down and I tried to tend to him and revive him. Yeah, now I wish I had stayed around to see what happened there.

I'm anxiously awaiting to hear how everything turned out. I'm assuming fine, since you seem to be having no problem writing your TR, which always makes me LOL! Sorry, again, about the fam not finding WDW as magical as you do. I hate when that happens!

Thanks for posting Theresa, glad you 're still finding some laughs.

 

[nebo]

Thanks for the photo. Did Smidgy take that or was it Photopass?

Well, that's odd, the darling picture you took didn't transfer here right now. And no, have never used photopass in my life. But if I may be critical? No pasifier?
plug, noochie?

I find that amazing that you'd suspect that far in advance how it was going to turn out.

Experience.



You are so wrong. Winnipeg in January is nowhere close to that dark


It's darker....

And a lot colder.


A lot.

It's funny, now that I know somebody from Winnipeg, I can't help but check the daily temps now on the weather page in the newspaper, and yes, Winnie is listed.
I actually find myself going all over the country, and heck, the world now, especially in winter, to see what's it's like where different people live.
"Hmm, Winkers is in Wash. , what's it like there today? Buzz and Susan are S. Carolina, hey, how's Bunny Boy and his wife doing down in the south east? " yeah, I'm taking a long time now on the stupid weather page.
And if MacBrew and that German lady who disappeared posted more, it would be longer still.

I"m sorry, did you say something?




Sorry to burst your bubble, but when you talk about your anatomy that way, the mind just balks.

I know, but that line had it's 15 seconds of fame.

but it is a family board after all and we can't have that sort of picture on here.

Fine, belittle my yellow jacket attack, you never know when it may be your turn.


apostles? no, 12 of them, only one Soarin'
apostasy? Wasn't he a character in Happy Days?
apostate? No, gotta have that checked out in a couple weeks again.

:



Actually, I like Dench wench.... but... yes.



Sorry, I misread it. I thought you didn't want me to spoil it. I saw where you typed "If Ponzi can't get it" and thought "Ponzi, don't tell it".

Anyway, it's too late. Mrs T already got it.

Sorry, I know I knock the shovel out of your hands a lot.





You don't mention it, but how did you pick your stroller out after crush? Was there just one left or was it just "best guess"?

Really, that wasn't too hard to do, on the back in big bold letters my stroller said POP, meaning it belonged to Pop Century. Hmm, seems gender specific now, doesn't it?

Do you think that people are getting so used to the amazing (movies with CGI/3D/etc...) that when it shows up, it's just not a big deal anymore?

A little, but I also think that some people just aren't as amazed as others, and if they are also non demonstrative, it can come off as indifference.

You gotta learn to let go. They'll either learn... or they won't. And there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it.

I know, I know, I know

You should reserve one ahead of time for the next trip. You're probably going to need one, so might as well plan ahead.

Heh. Plan 'a head'.

Yes, we got it. Thank you.





Well. At last! A perk!

Yes, a park perk quirk this jerk wouldn't shirk.

Well at least you and Smidgy had a nice spot for viewing.

That we did, best EVER!



You should get yourself a nice chair with a v8.

Actually, believe it or not, I was damn good on a Segway when we took those tours, and one of the only peple that didn't get tangled up with someone else, or smash a bunch of helpless marigolds.

Another perk! Now you get to be the one smacking into people's shins instead of vice versa.

If I begin to skin some shins with a grin is it a sin if I win?
sorry, can't seem to stop this now,
and how.



But you probably wouldn't have shooed her off that quickly if instead of a little old lady, it was a nice young one.

guess we'll never know.

no, nope, nope nope... I have no idea. I had to google it to even find out about the kids song... and I still don't know why you used it here.

Hmm, ok, not sure now why I said that. But the Nope nope nope part we both say a lot, from the old cartoon starring Virgil the Buzzard, I threw in the "bringing home a baby bumblebee" part to maybe energize some people's memories of Virgil saying nope nope nope, cuz he also sang the bumblebee song, and geesh, WHO CARES?


You see, Mama buzzard sent out all her kids to go out and bring home dinner, and all the smart, good younger buzzards were flying home dragging rhinos and hippos and cows,,, and here comes Virgil singing "Im bringing home a baby bumblebee",,,,,,, it was a heartwarming moment.


'nuff said on that.

I couldn't have put that in a better spot!


This might possibly be the very first TR where such a superlative word has been used.
Bravo sir. Bravo.

(I wonder if he bought that)

no, much to his chagrin.

It never will. Watch National Lampoon... uh, pretty much any or them.

Didn't you just feel so bad for Clark? He tried so hard.

I know. And I'm really bummed about it. I even told Ruby and she said, "Awww..."



Oh, boy. Everyone else has already chimed in but... after that, you must've been a little concerned.

You are right about that, to be honest, I wanted my mommy.

Thanks Dude, great job

 

[pkondz]

Well, that's odd, the darling picture you took didn't transfer here right now. And no, have never used photopass in my life. But if I may be critical? No pasifier?
plug, noochie?

It didn't transfer 'cause I nested it inside your quote.

I thought long and hard about the pacifier. I really, really wanted to put it in... but even more, I wanted to place you and the scooter at epcot. So to put you at epcot, I had to make the scooter smaller... I figured that if I put in a pacifier I'd have to make it large enough to see... and you wouldn't be able to tell it was you anymore.


On another completely unrelated note... The pkondz family went to see Hotel Transylvania tonight.

meh.

 

[smidgy]

No offense, but that sucks. If you give your word that you'll do something, then do it. Make other arrangements if you have to, but...

Well it's family and maybe I shouldn't have said that.

**************

ok, I have to say something. steve left out that , when we were bythe fountain, todd and kim said that Jackson needed to eat, or he would get cranky (todd knows his son better than we do). and they wanted to go into Electric Umbrella and get him something to eat.

but steve said that then there wouldn't be time to get a good spot for illum. so we agreed that we would go get an Illum, spot, and we woudl guard it, and they would go eat.

well, now that we are in worldshowcase, they didn't find anything jackson might like until the AMerican section (he doesn't care for tacos, sauerkraut,etc.) and by the time they got in oine, ate, etc. it was too late to make their way back around again..

so.. it wasn't "planned" to ditch nebo and the wheelchair pushing... sometimes stuff "just happens".

if we had eaten at electric umbrella like Todd and Kim wanted to, we probably would have all watched illum. from the handicapped area. (granted, not in the first row).. but of course, we didnt' know that at the time, about that great handicapped area right there.

 

[smidgy]

Oh, LOVE the nebo in the stoller picture...but, geez louize, ponz, you keep messing with my sex life! gives me the "yuddies"!

 

[orangecats2]

When I read the title of the last chapter I thought you were talking about a phone!

Ponzi-----love the stroller pic!

I know I said it over on the bunny's TR but I am having major post-vacation withdraw and depression! DH won't even talk with me about another vacation!

 

[pkondz]

so.. it wasn't "planned" to ditch nebo and the wheelchair pushing... sometimes stuff "just happens".

okay, that makes more sense. I know what it's like when a little one has needs.

 

[pkondz]

Oh, LOVE the nebo in the stoller picture...but, geez louize, ponz, you keep messing with my sex life! gives me the "yuddies"!

Thanks Smidgy. Eventually I'll get you to the point where everytime you see Nebo, you run screaming in the other direction.

Hmmmm.... maybe you do that already...

Okay, you run faster.

When I read the title of the last chapter I thought you were talking about a phone!

Me too!

Ponzi-----love the stroller pic!

Thanks!

I know I said it over on the bunny's TR but I am having major post-vacation withdraw and depression! DH won't even talk with me about another vacation!

Aw, ya just need a little of this: ... and another trip.

Whoops! Don't say 'trip' on this TR... vacation.

 

[monymony3471]

At the time I posted pray for steve all I had from you was, I signed forms so the EMTs couldn't take me to the hospital.

I didn't know you smacked your head on the concrete!!!!!!

You said you fainted and hit your head. When I think of fainting I think of a person crouching over like in a slump.

You didn't say you did the Nestea plung on the concrete!!!!

You were very evasive on the details and even I wasn't completely privy to those.

Otherwise you would have been driven to the hospital by myself.

And now that I think of it, you left me a voicemail when I was at Blizzard Beach and I called you back, we lost connection again, and you called back and we talked some more.

Then later you show me a little scab on your head. What am I supposed to think.

I guess you really hate doctors.

You didn't say you did the Nestea plung on the concrete!!!!

That's it! That's what it reminded me of!

when we were bythe fountain, todd and kim said that Jackson needed to eat, or he would get cranky (todd knows his son better than we do). and they wanted to go into Electric Umbrella and get him something to eat.

OK- that makes more sense. I was thinking, "If they just wanted a burger or nuggets they could have gone over to the Electric Umbrella much quicker than schlepping to America." But this is how thing evolve.

I've been in that primo viewing area - often it's reserved for private parties or special groups. In our case they had cancelled our ADR last minute when Teppenyaki was becoming Teppan Edo and it took months longer than expected, so everyone who was inconvenienced got special access to this area on the night of their cancelled reservation. You're right - it's a perfect vantage point.

It's also tough when you want people to see the everything "just right" and finally understand WHY you love WDW so much, and they just don't. Not everyone gets it and not everyone has to do things the way the experts do in order to have fun, so there's adjustment on both sides. This always happens to us when we bring non-believers with us, only we make them wear matching T-shirts to boot. Much to their chagrin.

you hit the nail on the head. (oops, shouldn't mention hits on the head)

Hi all!!

Just back from our trip to CSR (Casitas, bldg 5 - a great location!). This was our first trip at this resort and we liked it a lot. It was an exhausting week, but another great trip. We tried lots of new rides and have discovered that my boys are roller coaster daredevils. Unfortunately for my 7 year old, he just missed the height for Rock n Roller Coaster. But I think they rode everything else. They managed 11 trips on their favorite "Big Splash" (they get Splash and Big Thunder mixed up, so they call them to Big Splash and Big Thunder).

I don't do Splash, so while I was waiting I visited your favorite spot. Unfortunately it was raining, so the rockers were busy. But here you go Nebo...

I'm not a fan of taking pictures of myself and it was the end of the week and rainy, so please excuse my appearance.

Waiting for your next installment to find out if you went to the hospital and hoping you did. At least to get something so you can rest. And sorry Illuminations didn't go as you planned. You can only give the advice, you can't make family/friends take it. MHSweb79 said it best!

It didn't transfer 'cause I nested it inside your quote.

Yeah, I knew that, I just didn't notice it at the time.

I thought long and hard about the pacifier. I really, really wanted to put it in... but even more, I wanted to place you and the scooter at epcot. So to put you at epcot, I had to make the scooter smaller... I figured that if I put in a pacifier I'd have to make it large enough to see... and you wouldn't be able to tell it was you anymore.

Ok, glad ot see you agonized over that decision.


On another completely unrelated note... The pkondz family went to see Hotel Transylvania tonight.

meh.

That's the opinion I got from almost all the reviews I've read, but the worst thing they say is it just isn't funny.

When I read the title of the last chapter I thought you were talking about a phone!

1971, The Who releases the greatest rock album ever made, Who's Next, Going Mobile is one of the cuts off it, about selling the house and living in an RV. It's good, but Baba O'Reilly, Bargain, The Song is Over, Won't get fooled again and most certainly, Behind Blue Eyes are all better on the same album, just ask Mitch.
sorry

I know I said it over on the bunny's TR but I am having major post-vacation withdraw and depression! DH won't even talk with me about another vacation!

Then you have to start planning the nexty trip, he doesn't need to be involved yet.

At the time I posted pray for steve all I had from you was, I signed forms so the EMTs couldn't take me to the hospital.

I didn't know you smacked your head on the concrete!!!!!!

You said you fainted and hit your head. When I think of fainting I think of a person crouching over like in a slump.

You didn't say you did the Nestea plung on the concrete!!!!

You were very evasive on the details and even I wasn't completely privy to those.

Otherwise you would have been driven to the hospital by myself.

And now that I think of it, you left me a voicemail when I was at Blizzard Beach and I called you back, we lost connection again, and you called back and we talked some more.

Then later you show me a little scab on your head. What am I supposed to think.

I guess you really hate doctors.

See? That's whty I didn't tell you everything, I had enough people yelling at me as it was.
And hey, what happened to your picture in your avatar?
You mad at the kid or something that she had to be cut out?

And did you know, Cabrera was almost a Sock a couple years ago but at the last minute the deal fell through.

OK- that makes more sense. I was thinking, "If they just wanted a burger or nuggets they could have gone over to the Electric Umbrella much quicker than schlepping to America." But this is how thing evolve.

Chagrin? Ok, what does chagrin mean?

Boy, I haven't even started the next chapter yet, best get t o work.

Nancy, that's a terrific picture, thanks so much for posting it. We've stayed in Casitas 5 too on our first trip there and loved it, so glad you liked the resort too. So what did you think of the buffets there?
Jackson just barely cleared the height I guess for Rock n roller coaster, but the one thing they did try to shut him out of for being too short was Crush and Gusher at Typhoon.
