Yes we're very close. Let us know if you want to do Primanti Brothers while you're in town.

OUR FRIENDS WHO WE ARE SAILING WITH HAVE A HOME FOR 2 MONTHS NEAR FORT LAUDERDALE. WE WILL BE THERE FOR MAYBE 2 DAYS BEFORE CRUISE. THE CRUISE IS FROM FEB13th To FEB21 OR SUNDAY TO SUNDAY WHATEVER THOSE DATES ARE. WE PROBABLY WILL FLY IN 2 DAYS BEFORE THAT SUN.

Thanks Dan!

This is my DH Jim.. He sits dressed like this just about every year for Halloween.. The sign says.. Please take only 2 pieces of candy.. Happy Halloween.. The unsuspecting child reaches for the candy.. and lo.. he make a noise or jumps to them..

This evening as I was watching from the kitchen a Dad approached telling his children.. look it's just a dummy.. Grabbed Jim's arm shook it and said see..It's not real.. Good job on the stuffing but not real.. he proceeded to reach in and Jim simply said I am too real.. He jumped about six feet and I started looking for the AFD device..
The other funny one was when a 12 year old girl reached into take 3 or
4 pieces and Jim said" The sign say take 2 can't you read?!" I think the scream was heard for about 3 blocks!

Too funny!

Good trick. Hoosier John (John) use to scare kids that came to our house also.

Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever carved a pumpkin. I did it all on my own from start to finish, nobody else wanted in on the fun! They aren't perfect but I'm happy with them! Like I said, it was my first time, and here they are:

Very nice job.

 

[DizDragonfly]

Congrats on and

Thanks!

Hi! Everyone I am joining you because I have the best sister ever. who is taking me on this cruise. My name is Kristen I am a special education teacher and I live in Williamsburg VA. I have 2 children (age 4,7) who will not be joining me but I will not feel too guilty because we are sailing the Dream on Oct. 27th. So I will enjoy this girls only trip. looking forward to all of the fun and relaxation!

Hello, Jennifer! What an exciting morning!

Thanks for posting the images for posterity, Jennifer!

Exciting and you're welcome!!!

Great pumpkin carving!

Wonderful pumpkins! I really like the bat!

Thank you, my daughters are very creative

Well, since we are up to our necks in trick-or-treaters, I thought I would take a moment to share something. This is one of our pumpkins: I don't know what the inspiration for that was...

IF I EVER FIND MY PHOTO OF ME AS A KLINGON I WILL HAVE TO POST IT. I USED TO DO OUR GARAGE AND DRIVE WAY AS HAUNTED DUNGEON BUT CHANGED IT EVERY YEAR. ALL MY OLD OUTFITS BECAME PART OF THE DISPLAY. WE USED TO gET BETWEEN 300 TO 400 KIDS. THE YEAR I WAS THE KLINGON I WENT THRU DRIVE THRUS AFTER TO HAVE A LAFF. I MISS DOING IT. GETTING TO OLD

Never too old!!!

Thanks Dan!

I love you're
and

Did y'all get done in by vampires?

Yes, was it Edward or Jacob?.......Actually, we had to put a sign up because we ran out of candy!!!

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Fried truffle? I like mine broiled or baked. But then Dan has always been a bit half baked ... (I get to say that, he is my brother .. )

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Ok. off to go clean out the garage so we can get both vehicles in it before the snow flies.. Need to find the scrapers as well.. It's going to be a looong day!

You said a 4 letter word!

JUST MADE MYSELF A BUTTER TOFFEE COFFEE IN MY KUERIG AND PUT SOM JAMACIAN CREAM RUM IN IT

Is that coffee or dessert? Sounds yummy.

 

[Hoosier John]

Good trick. Hoosier John (John) used to scare kids that came to our house also.

Yeah, that was the MOST fun I have ever had for Halloween. Very similar to what Jim (lpotter's husband) did. Different mask (Jason), overalls, and showing more stuffing.

I learned not to do anything to the very young ones. They lost too much candy in the yard. And the young, but experienced Tric-or-Treaters seemed to take the maniquin coming to life with little problem.

It was the seasoned trick-or-treaters that I really enjoyed. When they first saw me, they talked amongst themselves trying to decide real or fake. Once they convinced themeselves that I was fake, they went about collecting candy, and were VERY shocked when I came to life. I got the sense that the younger ones were less scared because they never had to decide real or fake. Thus coming alive was less of a surprise to them.

Like I say, and I'm sure Jim would agree. This is too much fun not to try at least once in a lifetime. Get them when their eyes are on the candy. They are very distracted at that point. I was slumped next to the door. So two of us could enjoy the reactions, because the candy was passed out as normal from the house.

Hi all,

If you wouldn't mind, could you send prayers and pixie dust for my brother-in-law? He's very ill and in ICU at the hospital. His twin girls are just 15 months old.

Thanks!!

Karen -Sending prayers and pixie dust to your BIL

Karen -Sending prayers and pixie dust to your BIL

Thanks! He's doing much better now. I got a message from him that said he was in the exact same hospital room that my sister-in-law was in when she was in a car wreck back in 2007 and broke her neck in several places. We're hoping for the same miraculous recovery for him as well. You'd never know that my SIL was almost killed (shouldn't have even survived the crash, never mind all the injuries to her spinal column) by looking at her. She had the Christopher Reeves type break as well as others and was internally decapitated. She now has full mobility after a new procedure they tried on her.

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

About to chow down on cornbread, fried chicken, BBQ beans & ribs and finish it off with strawberry shortcake @ HOOP-DEE-DOO REVUE

Does anyone else see anything wrong here?

Anyone?

Isn't Wally on vacation?

Didn't Terri mention how excited she was about vacation and not having the phone or computer.....or something along those lines?

Didn't Wally just join the DIS as a result of booking the SSMC11?

I think someone has a serious addiction.

Wally hope you, Terri, and your friends are having a great time. And, I hope you leave WDW with some food for the rest of us on our upcoming vacations.

Off work today, but did not accomplish much. Still tired from working the weekend. Checked out K Cup supplies at our Super Target. They were $1.00 off, but did not find any I liked in particular. Husband's pirate costume came in and it does fit. My vest is just a wee bit tight. Reason for me not to overindulge this holiday season. Ordered our limo service to the airport for our Dec WDW
trip. Our DME came today as well. Love when everything comes into
play. I want to wait one more week before pre- ordering our
photopass CD. I want to make
sure our Sept pictures are all
cleared first. Tonight is hand bell
ringing practice. We are getting
ready for Christmas. I must say,
I am having fun reading everyone's
posts and getting to know a little about everyone. Have a great
evening and hopefully your phone will not keep ringing. I must have
had 10 political calls already
today.

<snip>And, I hope you leave WDW with some food for the rest of us on our upcoming vacations.

Me too! We arrive on Friday, and I don't think that leaves much time for WDW to replace that food before we get there!
Have I mentioned that I love to eat?

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

I WAS LOOKING THRU MY SCARRY DISNEY HALLOWEEN PHOTOS. FOUND THIS ONE THESE 2 CHARACTERS LOOK SO REAL

Ian based on your photo editing hobby I think by the time SSMC11 arrives you may be banned from taking photos.

WOW!!! That sounds like it was a real life nightmare! I'm glad she has recovered so well!!! What a scary ordeal!!!

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Have a Blast!!! Wish we were there.. Oh yeah..29 more days and we will be!

WE ARE ALSO THERE IN 29 DAYS. DID I MISS OR FORGET WHEN YOU SAID YOU WOULD BE THERE. MAYBE I HAD BRAIN FART

16 days till my Thanksgiving trip Dreaming of a great time in some great resorts

17 days until my Birthday trip. That one hour drive to WDW just takes too long.

21 days, 12 hours, and 56 minutes until my flight takes off for WDW.
