Well you could always throw the bone at the kids and hit them on the head...that'll shut em up! Just Kidding!

Note to self, put muzzle on DS at dinner on the Repo or risk bone stuck in his head.

Don't worry Jeff he'll be too busy learning the Queens English to worry about the odd flying bone....

 

[JLDSMD]

Hazel proposed to me this morning,she proposed we divorce with her taking 98% of the family assets along with the kids and the DCL booking numbers, with me getting visiting rights to our 2 cats on every other weekend....

Sadly, that 2% that AFEG gets is probably more than any of us have joint.

And Chris, it could be worse, she could stick you with the kids.

 

[JLDSMD]

Old neighbours just left...new neighbours van arrived 2 minutes ago.

So far so good - no kids screaming.....yet

That's because the kids haven't seen you yet Karen.

 

[JLDSMD]

Don't worry Jeff he'll be too busy learning the Queens English to worry about the odd flying bone....

He's going to learn your English Chris? Are you the Queen (or a Queen)?


No, he'll just sit there, smile, and laugh along with us and thne ask me what you said.

 

[JLDSMD]

O.K. All caught up. Nice job UKers in giving us a few pages.

I'm off to do nothing now. DS has off school (planned day off), so I'm home with him.

I'll check back often today.

Easter is early this year. Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.

Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here are the facts:

1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones who were around for that!).

2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year

Woody usually gets the shaft every couple of year as his Birthday is March 29 and it falls around Easter.

A bit of sparkle and I'm there...Rick calls me a magpie. I quite like this one

or this

I like the top one. Very elegant and understated.

He grew his famous mustache at age 25.

He was the voice of Mickey Mouse for two decades.

He often ate lunch at his desk -- his favorite meal was chili and beans, which he ate with tomato juice and soda crackers.

He admitted to being "scared to death" when he had to face the camera to introduce episodes of the "Disneyland" television series.

He won more Oscars than anyone else -- 32.

When I worked for Disney we had to learn about "Uncle Walt". I have some really great pictures of him from DL. There is something about him that makes you feel good. Like your favorite relative. In a way he is part of every family.

 

[DISNEYDUET]

We get new neighbours today - leaving are a nuice couple with two doga, arriving are a nice couple with two children - not sure which is best - 2 dogs or 2 kids

I'll take the dogs over the children any day! Unless they are as cute as Ellis or Kira!

Thanks for this Heather. The students do morning announcements and have a fun fact everyday I'm going to show them this one.

From staples I gather.

I have something similar to this, doesn't have the top thing though

Quote from Mousesavers:

Using Walt Disney World Tickets at Disneyland

Interesting, unpublished fact: you can use any unexpired, leftover days on a Walt Disney World ticket at Disneyland or DCA! Present the Disney World ticket at the gate on arrival -- they will take it somewhere, deduct a day from it, and give you a one-day Disneyland Park Hopper ticket. You can repeat this day by day until the Disney World ticket is used up. They will not give you a multi-day ticket all at once, even if you have multiple days left on your Disney World ticket. Also, MouseSavers.com reader Danny P notes that any Disneyland ticket obtained from exchanging a Walt Disney World ticket must be used on the same day it was exchanged.

This policy has been in effect for at least 5 years, and the information was last reconfirmed by a MouseSavers.com reader as of December 2007.

Disneyland tickets are NOT accepted at Walt Disney World, and Annual Passes are only good at the park where they were purchased (WDW Annual Passes are NOT good at Disneyland, and vice versa).

Well we will see if this works in August. Sean and I have tickets left over.

You know they're a chatty bunch those americans....you just can't shut them up!

Hey now my grandmother is from Ireland, I get my gift of the gab from her. And since it was the Brits who settled here first I guess that means we Yanks get our chattiness from over the pond!

Mother's Day in the USA is the second Sunday of May.

Father's Day in the USA is the third Sunday in June.

I was born on Mothers Day!

 

[GOS]

I'm guessing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Dopey)

Guess Again

I'm guessing Mickey Mouse's head and ears.

TA DA....Winner

So, what plans does everyone have for the weekend?

Since Hazel's birthday is this coming Monday, Angelina and I will be taking Hazel out on Sunday for her birthday dinner. Haven't decided where we are going yet, thinking about Olive Garden or maybe Bennigan's. There is a new Nifty Fifty restaurant that opened a short time ago not too far from us, was thinking of maybe even giving that a try. Afterall, Hazel was born in the 50's and, she is in her 50's............

Happy Birthday Hazel for Monday

Rick and I are visiting his parents on Saturday in deepest darkest Eseex and on Sunday after picking up Rick's new suit, we're visiting my parents as it's Mothers Day. I know the US have theirs in May

Whats this about a mini meet for the Brits - no nothing about it, is it a select few or can any rif raf join
Will Mr Victor Meldrew be there, i so love watching him on the tv.

Care to join us on the inaugural sailing of the Independence of the Seas in May? That's where the mini meet is Sean.

 

[GOS]

Beauty and the Beast?

Guess again

Mother's Day in the USA is the second Sunday of May.

Father's Day in the USA is the third Sunday in June.

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.

Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man.

He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.

"Oh my, I am so sorry, " the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.

"Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you," she says.

They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theatre followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.

After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast.

They have a wonderful, wonderful time.

The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible!

"You know, "he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet? "

"No, "she replies. . . "


"You just happened to catch my eye."
