You my dear are the only one that got that! I would say, you win the prize, but being from NM I don't have much to offer...We are famous for Chili (Red or green) or Pinon Coffee. Can always send a chili flavored candy or chocolate? your choice.
Just think how much trouble you would've been in if you were sitting that close with
baited breath!
You have no idea how hard it was to not write baited when i was typing that out.
That's what marriage is all about; compromise. Which in this case seems to mean that you compromise while he rubs his hands with glee. (The emotion, not the television show)
If compromise means I follow dutifully wherever he may take me, then yes. That is what marriage is all about.
Your title? Oh, you mean 'Lady H', as in, "Oh, H... I'm going to get soaked again, aren't I?"
Ding ding ding! That's pretty much what runs through my mind in these instances.
They did? That's quite the show they put on. Not very family friendly, but educational.
That's why they have others doing flips and trying to catch your attention. So you don't see what happens back stage.
I'm with Nebo here. I can't stop thinking about that poor girl. Wouldn't stop me from seeing (and enjoying) a show, though.
It's always difficult to keep those images out of your mind, but the show must go on, and as tragic as the events were, there is nothing we can do to change the circumstances. So yes, while I thought about it, I also smiled and clapped and got soaked, enjoying the show.
So you're saying T-Man is just a big kid at heart, right?
I don't think the heart has anything to do with it. I'm saying he's just a big kid period.
There's only one Shamu (yes I know there's also a "Baby Shamu")... but it seems no matter which water park you go to, people think of the whales as "Shamu".
Plus Shamu died back in 1971 (thanks Wiki).
Amazingly I knew all that. I always laugh when they call out Shamu or reference the show as the Shamu show, and they do it at every park, because how can one whale be in every SeaWorld park, everyday! But it's the legacy that lives on!
Check. T-Man was laughing and jumping up and down for his princess.
What? They're drawn? I thought you would have to go to Disney for animation.
Huh.
Learn something new everyday.
I'm sure there's a storyboard somewhere in the vaults of SeaWorld regarding the show and how it is supposed to go. So yes...I'm sure at one point they were drawn. It's a good thing it wasn't by me. Since I can't even draw a stick figure correctly, it would have been an interesting show to say the least.
Heh.
"trickles out" huh? Is that a reference to the water or the pee?
I was wondering if anyone else would have caught onto that. And technically, if you have to go pee...water will just instigate the need. And if you don't...and there is water around, you will have to go eventually just because of it.
You have no idea how hard I laughed when I saw that clip. I haven't heard that in ages. However, afterwards, that song was in my head for hours.
Didn't you have just a little desire to run up and flash them?
Go on, admit it. You'll feel better.
Now that would have been interesting...but no...Unless you are referring to taking the paper bag off my head, as flashing...
Nothing worse when you need a bathroom and you don't have enough change.
Yeah, that leaves you in quite the predicament.
Oh stop it. You're beautiful. Just ask Mike.
I can't...He's bias. He only says it because he's married to me.
Never heard of it. And I see by their website that they don't have any in Canada.
That just means you will have to take a trip to one of the places they do have one...preferably a disney-fied area, and while you are there...might as well enjoy Disney too. Right?
Usually people go on vacations to relax. We go on vacations to punish our bodies and test our stamina!
That is the truth. One of these days I'm going to go on vacation and relax and my body will have no idea what is going on.
How big do softballs get on an airplane?
Big...it's not pretty.
Saves time when TSA asks you to remove your shoes. You're just being pro-active.
It would if this was something that would happen before the trip, when I would have to go through security. However, at the end of the trip, we don't have to go through the scanners to get to baggage claim, so it does me no good.
Oh, dear. That does not look comfortable.
Looks can be deceiving...if it is uncomfortable, I wouldn't know, they get numb after a while.
I'm not a podiatrist but I'm pretty sure that when your feet are that swollen, skipping is not a good idea.
Good point. I'll try to steer clear of skipping when my ankles are the size of softballs.
Whatever happened to "location, location, location"?
I'm pretty sure they figured the location was perfect. Out of the way, no one to see them. Only those who really were kids at heart, and were loyal customers could find the place.
I've honestly never heard it called that. Up here we would say "pull a u-turn", "make a u-turn" or maybe "pull a u-ee" or "make a u-ee".
make a u-ee is a common term here as well. However, it is more commonly referred to as Flip a B (think female dog in correspondence with the B). Don't ask me where the reference comes from...I just know the lingo.
Sounds like fun!
It is. It's like an adults version of Chuck E. Cheese.
awww.... You're taking all the fun out of it.
I left it open for you. If I had taken the fun out of it, I would have left it out all together.
Love that mental image.
Maybe you didn't use your off hand. Maybe you used the other hand... or possibly a fork... or a spoon...
It's possible. but i've always followed the general rule of thumb...if you can't eat it with your hands, it's not worth eating.
So is it your typical "spend $40 to win a $3 prize" kind of thing? Or is the ratio a bit better... or even good?
You have to have a lot of tickets to get the good prizes. So it's the typical. But it's not hard to earn or get tons of tickets there. It's also not hard to spend a ton of money trying to earn those tickets...
I see you and Ruby both went to the same good wife school!
Hey now...The school of falling asleep in the car is a tough school. You have to be able to pass the tests and everything with flying colors.
I can't wait to see if you can stuff your eye in your tennis shoes. Thanks for the chapter Lady H!
I may surprise you...
Thanks for taking the time Ponz! Enjoyable as ever!
Fun SeaWorld update! I love your ring story, and your rings are stunning indeed!
Thanks! The ring debacle was definitely something we will remember for a very very long time. I just could't imagine not having these rings.
Just went to SeaWorld here in Texas today - the Blue Horizons show is Azul here - alot of strangely dressed acrobats, but I enjoyed it. We did see One Ocean here. Those whales are amazing!
On the rides, our Journey to Atlantis here was just a high ramp, the platform turned you around backwards, you went down a little dip, turned you around frontwards and then a screaming water fall ala Splash on steroids! it looks way better in your arial shot. We tried the Steel Eel, which I think is the same - I thought I was really going to die, I pulled a muscle in my shoulder blades from tensing up so much - haven't been on that crazy of a coaster since I was a kid!
I want you to know that as soon as T-Man saw your response the very first thing he did was google SeaWorld San Antonio.
He was oohing and ahhhing at each ride and attraction, and as we speak is probably trying to figure out how to squeeze in a trip there sometime in the near future.
JoA in Florida, as well as in San Diego are both pretty much the same. It takes you on a small ride, a few dips and turns, and then you get the big drop/splash. Then it speeds up and takes you through the dark tunnels like it's transporting you through time almost before ending the ride. The one in Texas sounds and looks pretty interesting.
I told T-Man while looking at the rides online that while he and his sister go on the other rides, I'll stay with the Shamu Express. That seems like my kind of coaster.
