Would you like to talk to her?....

 

[cntkg1]

IF we do mnsshp it will be on the 22nd also. We're still deciding on which one to do...mnsshp or Cirque.

Tony wants to just get off the plane on the 22nd and head right over to the Radisson and maybe do the Kennedy Space Center. I want mnsshp AND Cirque,(surprise, surprise) Stacy wants Cirque and Tuna will go anywhere I tell him to go.
(We don't talk "cruise" in front of the other two).

Would you like to talk to her?....

If she wants to call me now, tell her to call me at work, I'm still here and not busy at the moment, otherwise she can call me later at home, whatever works best for your schedule.

Hey Chris, got your wallet ready? I'm heading over to WW this morning and you're going to pay up.

I hope you're keeping track, or are we supposed to keep track ourselves and pm you occasionally?

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Looks like the early riser group is on this morning.

With all the times we've been to MCO, I can't remember, who let's you pick your own car in the class you've rented?

Do both Avis and Budget allow that at MCO?

Or does one assign you a car?

Since we'll have a ton of luggage when we arrive, I'd like to pick a car that I know can handle it.

I know budget in Tampa tried to put me in a Dodge Charger as a full size care once. You'd be lucky to fit 2 suitcases in that trunk. Give me an Impala or Ford Taurus (the former 500). Those have great trunks. Had a Cadillac STS after the repo - what a joke. Never again.

The only ones that I know of that let you pick your car are Alamo and National which won't help us for the cruise. I know that Avis doesn't unless they changed things since Oct. 2007 and I'm not sure about Budget.

My car has only done 34000... it only goes to the supermarket and back

Sounds like one of my mom's cars. When my dad died in '96, they were already looking for a new car, so I got the old one off my mom. It was 10 years old and only to church, the grocery store and an occassional run to Green Bay. It had only 550,000 miles on it.

Well, when I started to drive it on the freeway and doing 20,000 miles a year with it, it started having problems. Cars are made to be driven. When you don't do it for so long and then start to, they can't handle it.

As long as you keep yours to just chasing around, you'll be fine. I wouldn't have Neil start driving it to Wales all the time.

However, I wish I could keep a car that was driven low miles. When you work 25 miles from work, it's hard to do.

Budget assigned us a car in 07.

That's a lot of trips to church, the grocery store and GB in 10 years.

Am I on IGNORE?

Morning Jeff.

Morning Nancy.

I would have been on earlier (up at 5:15), but I was going through my emails and we got one from L's little league with the team rosters and schedule.

They have 5 teams with 11 or 12 kids on it. It is a league for the town north of here by a couple miles (actually out my back yard, but the school is that far away). Anyhow, we always put DS down as going to the school the neighborhood kids would so that he can play with them. There are 5 from that school on his team. However, there are 5 more in the leagure, 2 on one team and 3 on another. Why the Heck don't they just put all 10 on one team? There were 3 oddball kids (only one from their school) who you could have put one or two on that team then. Just makes no sense.

Guess I think these things through too much.

20th will probably be your quietest date. However, if you go the 22nd, we'll be there.

I'd shy away from the night before the cruise. You'll want to be up early on the 24th, so staying up late on the 23rd would be good. Just food for thought.

You're going on the 22nd?! - ooooh might see you there then!

We are planning on going on the 22nd. Sean and Cath too.

Karen we are going on the 22nd with Scott and Lori. We will all have to meet up.

Don't want to go October 22nd as your other time?

I know Cheryl's family is planning that night. I can't speak for AFEG, but I believe if they go, it will be the 22nd also. Just a thought.

Yep we are planning for that night Now if only Disney would release the ticket prices

That's a lot of trips to church, the grocery store and GB in 10 years.

2 minimum to church each week, 1 to the grocery store and probably 2 more to the department/specialty stores on the weekend. Maybe one trip to GB each month.

I'm sure there were some more trips in there, but nothing out of the area except the tirps to GB (although there were a few to my brothers 20 miles north of them or my sister's out near Madison, but not more than once a month, probably every other).

The point is, if it is driven locally only (for the most part), it doesn't do well when "opened up". Then again, this was an '86 Olds, so the newer cars ,especially foreign ones, will fare much better.

 

[JLDSMD]

Am I on IGNORE?

I'm actually trying to do work-work while I'm on this morning. I have to get the Financial Statements to our Board this morning and also have a conference call at 8:00 a.m. So much for being on vacation.

Morning Jeff I finished scanning a patient around 5:30 and I'm not tired now so I figured I might as well try and catch up a little here before heading home in a little bit. I think I will need a nap later, this was the second time I got "called in" this morning which doesn't make for much sleep.
