And Jen, you thought YOU had a problem I plan for trips that I will probably never take Like a week at the Atlantis Resort, a week on Turtle Island, a week at The Hapuna Prince Resort

sigh

The lotto is 25 million on Friday...need to get me some tickets

Cass, that makes me feel like I'm not so strange after all!!!

What are the odds for your top prize up there?

They are insane down here.

I don't think flights would be too bad if we book early and book out of Chicago - that's what we did for KK, and it seemed to work fine. And, they ususally have convention scheduled a couple years out, so I could confirm the dates.

Last week of August might be ok too - free dining would be awesome! I wonder why that's a slow time, just because of the heat or everyone's getting ready for back-to-school?

I think the FL kids are back in the last half of August, so it gets quiet down there. Plus, a lot of other states are probably starting back.

We went last Labor Day and it was really nice. Suz wants to go again next year. We'd do it this year, but we will be a little pre-occupied.

cassie lives 4 1/2 hrs away(if we time it right, traffic wise.)
michael lives about 10 minutes away.

Not too bad, but not 10 minutes either.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Guys and Gals

Walt with Miller Girls (sorry Mike the true Walt rocks)

thats what i've been telling everyone for years. underdog has a bad "rep"
but walts the bad boy. i'm just lucky he lets me hang around to collect his scraps.

They are insane down here.

Thinking of buying some Canadian lotto tickets???

I usually play Powerball and Megabucks - Mega has smaller prizes but a bit better odds.

Hey, now here's a question for Numbers Boy...would you have better odds playing the same group of numbers every time, or getting randomly selected numbers each time? Or doesn't it matter?

Hi everyone I just got back from the eye doctor a little bit ago so if my typing seems worse than usual its because everything is still very fuzzy looking

 

[Dyerneeds]

great pics walt and di... but di......
you would look a lot better without that boston hat.

 

[Walt & Di]

Hush!!!! I'm going through Disney withdrawals as I type!

me too. I could just live there. I always joke about getting a job there with Walt. Diane

 

[Dyerneeds]

Lori, I added your pic to the Bober site.

Only three missing pics now hint hint nudge nudge

who could that be?
we are waiting for a good pic of me. could be a while.
we still have 17 months. it may take that long to get one.

Melody, I know how you feel...it just KILLED me that we couldn't do the repo this year. When we couldn't do the first one, I swore we would do the next one if there was one. Just didn't have the money or time off for Rob.
I was very sad on the weekend when the Magic left, that's the one I wanted to book. I hope to be one the next one for sure

Cass, us too. We couldn't go on the last one because of just having Amelia. We swore we wouldn't miss the second chance after missing the first chance, but we couldn't do the second round because we thought Ernie was too young for a two week long cruise. There is NO WAY we are missing the next chance. We really want to do the PC!

The numbers you play don't matter. The odds are the same either way. However, if you play specific numbers, I would recommend you play those, because the time you don't, they will win and you won't live with yourself.

The best odds of any game here in WI would be Badger 5 when it gets over $100,000.

Second best would be the Megabucks, especially when it gets over $6.0M.

Third would be Super Cash - top prize $350,000.

Last would be the Powerball - that's just nuts, but very big prizes.

 

[Dyerneeds]

I will be in WDW and DL in the same month. There is just something wrong with me........

well if thats wrong, i wouldnt want to be right.

Whatever. I'm sure your hangover has nothing to do with it.

 

[CRSNDSNY]

thank you I am reading your trip reports right now. how much fun you have. Diane

Hope you're enjoying them!

It's called Disneyitis and I have been afflicted since early childhood When I was in my late teens, I printed a sign out that had the word Disneyitis and it's definition and I hung it on my wall. But I used a scripty font and it didn't look like Disney-itis...my brothers and sisters (who oddly enough don't suffer from the same disease ) used to make fun of me and say that I had Disney-*its, cus that's what it looked like with that font...(it's a bad slang word for your chest area, if you can't figure out what letter the * is replacing )

believe me, i had no trouble figuring it out.

 

[CRSNDSNY]

So, can we take a poll among the BOBers...what is your favorite WDW resort/hotel? We don't own DVC, so those don't count

I think our favorite resort is a toss up between Beach Club and Wilderness Lodge.

So far we've stayed at the Dolphin, Swan, Fort Wilderness Cabins, Saratoga Springs, Beach Club, Beach Club VIllas, Boardwalk Villas, and Wilderness Lodge.

In hindsight, do you think Ernie would have been fine?

Wonder how often they will go through once the new ships are done? I know the new ones can't go through the current canal and the modification won't be done until 2014 or 2015.

I knew you'd have the answer!

I've never played Supercash or Badger 5, but I might have to take another look at Badger 5

We stayed at POFQ last October. It was really nice but it isn't CBR. CBR is our favorite!

3 months and we're going no where!!

CBR is my fav too. but these days we just stay at the value resorts.
we get more "bang for the buck" as a wise disser would say.
