Trying to make us feel old huh? I remember them all from first run TV not reruns! I also watched Amos & Andy (a very politically incorrect show today)

I remember them all too. Clear back to Space Patrol, Ramar of the Jungle, Beanie and Cecil when they were puppets, Howdy Doody, Burns and Allen, Gleason, life of Riley, all good stuff.....LOL.

I remember the original Bonanza. How about Big Valley? The question becomes do you remember them in B&W or in color. No comment on Amos & Andy - and he's not talking about the radio personalities. Not PC would be an understatement

10 worse toys
No surprise on Heelies (I still would like a pair for myself)

 

[pyramid2000]

This is from the 11/11 live report from faireygod mother:

We asked for APL early seating and we got it. Our dinner is at 530pm.

That would also be for the 8 pm dinner.

 

[Bella2000]

I just don't think anyone would have a case against Sony, but I am sure I am wrong.

We live in a litigious world.

 

[Bella2000]

I missed GA last Thursday and watching it online keeps erroring out grrrr.

Is it playing on Thursday? Is this a good enough reason to get home earlier?

 

[lbgraves]

okay - I'm 20 pages behind here and 100 emails behind at work...but I ran across this one..

what have you guys heard??? HOAX???

DRUG RECALL INFORMATION

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.

This is an old one. According to snopes it is out of date.

Origins: On
6 November 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health advisory warning that phenylpropanolamine (PPA), an ingredient found in many over-the-counter cold medications and diet aids, may cause strokes and thus should be avoided. Although the FDA has not yet issued a mandatory recall of PPA-containing products, they have asked drug manufacturers to voluntarily stop selling products containing PPA and provide safer alternatives. As a result, most products that formerly included PPA have now been discontinued or reformulated without PPA while the FDA proceeds with the regulatory process necessary to remove all PPA-containing products from the market.

Dody, I looked back at the 6/24 Navs and got this:

1st seating - APL (5:30 & 8)
2nd seating - PLA (5:45 & 8:15)
3rd seating - LAP (6 & 8:30)

An example of just one of the things I love about Lisa..... I read the original post- thought oh I think that's out of date on snopes. I'll check that later and post. Then I got tied up and thought I won't worry Lisa will post on it.

My MIL also took the downgrade to an inside room. They saved $1200!!! She decided to take it to have some extra bingo money!!!!

Brandi....IDK if she will still be seated with you. The girl who does the dining went on vacation last week so I can't notify her about it. PM me with her resie number and I will put it on my list of things to check when I board.

 

[lbgraves]

Someone at church last night ask what we were doing on Sunday the 10th (because they wanted us to do something) and we told them that we would be in the Bahamas! You can imagine the look they gave us!

 

[MrsMork]

I've never in my life dealt with tolls so I'm not real sure what to expect myself.

Take lots of quarters, drive up and throw your money in the bin, but not too hard or it will flip back out and you will have to get out and pick it up and throw it back in. Tying up traffic yet again!! It works better if you have Georgia plates and you can just at the folks behind you and say "Sorry, we are from Georgia!" No offense to Patsy, but this worked well for us. Folks just shook their heads and did not flip us off or yell obsenities.

One post before I leave to take Sophia to CiCi's for dinner . . .

Here is what I saw on an email tech newsletter that I get . . .

No Wii for you, Ralphie; you'll put your eye out: The final entrant in this holiday season's game console war, Nintendo's Wii, launched over the weekend with the requisite campers rushing the shelves, though thankfully without any of the bloodshed that marred the launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 last week (and may lead to Sony getting a bill from the city of Boston). Early reports were that the Wii, priced at about half the cost of the PS3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360, was moving briskly and selling out at some locations -- a pleasant surpise for Nintendo because while PS3 shortages were expected, there were plenty of Wiis in the pipeline.

The lack of any reported felonies among Wii fans did not mean that the launch was without casualties, however. The Wii's unique controller is motion-sensitive, letting users interact physically with a game, like slashing with a sword or swinging a bat ... or rolling a bowling ball, which was what one new user and his buddy were doing when the friend uncorked a throw vigorous enough to snap the safety wrist strap and send the controller flying out of his slippery hand smack into the screen of a 60" TV, leaving an impressive crack. Count on it -- with the Wii turning couch potatoes into jumping beans, this will be the first of many stories involving property damage and physical injury to users and bystanders. Then the feds will start making kids wear helmets when they play, and it'll all go to hell.

I'll tell you, I have not played a video game since that silly little PacMan chased me around and made me very nervous, but DGS and his friend were just having a ball (no pun intended!) playing baseball and bowling last night. I might even try this one!

 

[lbgraves]

First I'd like to thank Becka for not being here for my first pirate ...I actually had a chance...

And I thank Frederick County Government for having slow computers... DW!

Ok, now I need to work, and calm down...breathe breathe...

All the rest of you for rooting me on...ok, you were trying just as hard as me!

Andy, there's no denying it now! You've got it bad just like the rest of us.

Thanks Caroline. We requested the PLA, hopefully we get it without any problems.

Can anyone tell me where you go if you want something changed with your dining? Like, if we board and see a different rotation on our KTTW card where would we go to request PLA? I like to be prepared.

 

[MrsMork]

OK, one more . . .

Who other than Carla, Dennis, and I remember Chester from Gunsmoke?

How about Hop Sing from Bonanza?
(or was it Bananas?)

John1

OH I do!!! Bonanza! Woo Hoo. I belonged to a Bonanza Fan Club! I still have my Bonanza scrapbook (this was WAY before the current scrapping craze). It is leather and has a saddle on the front. Inside are numerous movie mag articles about all three brothers and Ben. I can tell you birthdates, favorite foods and any other info you might want to know! Oh, such a crush I had on Adam. Broke my heart when my sister found out he was BALD!!! and wore a toupee! Now, I still loved him because my love was true and not superficial, but boy would I get mad when she would laugh and say, "baldy, baldy, baldy!"

Angie is a closet techno geek - first the iPod now Wii! Go Angie!

 

[DisneyVegas1]

I never thought I would get so excited about this, but with the contest and all...

Theres a contest ????

 

[lbgraves]

am I supposed to be getting a zip or flash drive? Something that transfers or downloads?

Flash drive. You need to be able to download images to it.
