Best wishes with that.

If anyone offers you a Chiclet on the way, politely decline.

So, I've been wondering why you're not posting.... All caught up now! I love how you got to spend quality time with each of your kids - time well spent for sure. Marlene's beret is really stylin'! Too bad no one would answer the phone. Thanks for those numbers, they could be alot of fun - I'm thinking a slumber party game for some grown women on a dismeet

[FauntleroyFAN07]

enjoyed the update, and i can already understand your words at the end,

glad you enjoyed your time with each kid.

next time you go the picture should be of you sitting on the fountain with a newspaper.

Judy posing - yes! Judy somewhere in the crowd - yes! Reflections of Judy in a glass table top - yes! Judy in a video game - yes! Judy parts somewhere in the edge of a picture - yes!

All of these actually occurred because Judy was present when the picture was taken! Edited into a picture that Judy was nowhere near is NOT finding a Judy!

SHAME on YOU!!!

i totally agree with you marv, just glad you typed it first so glenn could understand it without any spelling mistakes.

Nope, no sour grapes here. I just don't think that fits any of the criteria used to spot a Judy in the pictures for the rest of the contest, which has to be an actual Judy, Judy part or Judy reflection. So I still say there were actually 0 Judy's in your update, as I pointed out! If someone that posted before me (and there were many) had said zero, I would have sided with them (even if that had been Molly's answer).

I was on the DIS boards but slow had nothing to do with it. Matthew called to give me an update on his meeting with the Naval Rear Admiral for selecting job openings (vessel type) and locations when he goes into the Navy after graduation. I wouldn't have been in the fray, regardless.

I still call bogus and Molly is still entitled to the point on a technicality! She was the first to respond to what she saw. That's not her fault......

Amazing isn't it??? I get on a plane it takes me places. I had been in Houston that spring and then connected through Houston again to San Antonio. I guess I had Houston on the brain.

Sorry Tammie! But I'm glad you found your way over. Just this morning I was looking at the list of who's posted and noticed a couple of regulars who haven't appeared yet...you were one that I noticed. Maybe I should give a heads-up.

Yes, those numbers could be great fun from long-distance!

I know you are cherishing the time though.

That's a good one! I just may have to do that.

But if you want it authentic, and I'm sure you do....it would be more along the lines of this:

Ah, you left out the Judy's in the computer game, which were computer-generated images of Judy from previously photographed...um, photographs. Which is essentially what these were. The Rules Committee has spoken!

Wishing Matt good luck on getting a good assignment.

That's a common problem for you jet-setting high-society types.

Amazing how I could strike the same exact pose on two separate occasions huh?

On that we can agree!

I had no idea this was a DIS "tradition", so this is the first time I've seen this gag. Holy cow, that's funny!

The tile work in Morocco is awesome.

Yep, Voices of Liberty are awesome, too. Did the singer catch you looking at him like that?

But like I said before, I'm sure it was a very interesting doorknob.

I seem to recall a similar picture somewhere... yours is centered better, though.

(Good luck getting that out of your head now!)

Oh, it could be worse. Much, much worse. I never noticed Smilley the Terra Cotta Warrior before, though.

P.S. It's a world of laughter, a world of tears... (See?)

Hmm. I'd just call that "pouty".

I’m beginning to realize how quickly the time goes as I watch my children grow, and I hope that when they’re older they’ll look fondly back at moments like these.
....I know I will.

Amazing how much kids light up when they get that one-on-one time with Dad. Makes you feel adored...and a certain weight of responsibility at the same time.

And because your DISMeet hostess had unlimited long distance () we could actually DO that!!!! After a bottle or 2 of wine or those tasty homemade GG slushies.... we'll see what other kinds of good fun we can have.

Ok, so I gotta wonder, how is brushng one's teeth/gagging in the morning any different?? Just sayin'

Thanks for the good wishes! I am back, and although he says it looks healthy, I dont' know how they're going to explain the pain of the US wand touching my belly?? Surgeon on Monday- we'lll see.... I can say, I finally took one of the scrips the doc ordered for pain (hydrocodone??) and had the best night's sleep I've had in MONTHS!!!! WOW!! No back pain, no gall bladder pain, just sweet, long rest.

But if you want it authentic, and I'm sure you do....it would be more along the lines of this:

that would be good, im sure there are a bunch of good "JOHN" books that you could take with you.

the tricky part would be to time it with out anyone there so you could get your pants down for the picture without anyone noticing.

or were you thinking of leaving them up.

Ugh. So they have no idea why you are in pain?

Glad the meds work though!!

[winkers]

I'm not sure if I should be proud or offended that when you think of Morroco you think of me and urinals.
I can't realy complain because when I think of shrimp with poop sacks..I think of you.
I guess I've left my own legacy at Disney World.
