Oh, I let them have it when they wanted me to check the stroller in at the desk. I told them that they would have to provide someone to carry the car seats or the kids thee. They insisted that they couldn't board the plane & the flight attendants couldn't leave the plane....pre 9/11. I told them that they could then check the stroller at the door of the plane like the CSRs told me. Other passengers couldn't believe it & carried the seats & our bags onto the plane for me.

Becka,

Love all those smiles - I know you and Aaron are off playing the price is right, but I thought I would post it anyway.

BTW...I got the package of Zizzlingers today! I finally opened it up & there are 24 but I am missing one of them because there is a dup. I'm just glad that the girl finally sent them...after I filed a complaint with Paypal to get my money back.

DH is one of those camera people like many of you... Every year for his birthday I get to auction an internal organ off to pay for a new lense. I hate converting them to jpg's but no choice. He does take good photo's though! There was a huge barrier and she was pretty far away....

Kim

Now I know why Ariel is her favorite too - you have a little Ariel of your own!

Does he keep his photos in RAW format?

[lbgraves]

Another camera geek!

 

[waltsgirl]

Lisa, you need a john lesson on this one. It is all about the look. You can practice your favorite. Mom on the verge of tears, always works. &*(^* do what I say or you will not like the result. Or, my personal favorite at lowes, I am so lost can you help me? I don't know what to do and my husband is gone and I don't know what to do with these children..... I am sure you are a pretty good reader of people, just work it girl! My other one is just to act like I know exactly what I am doing and walk on anyway.

am i annoying or what!

kim

Exactly...
When they call the first boarding call just walk up and get on.
I always say just act like you know what you are doing or that you are supposed to be there and no one will question you!

Quite often... I hate it when he does that because they are hard to get printed...

USAir in Raleigh, NC. I was surprised to find some very helpful people at the Dallas airport. They told me that all I needed to do was request help on the trip home & they would assign someone to assist me onto the plane. Thankfully DH was able to meet me at the gate there since it was pre 9/11. He also took us to the gate, which helped alot!

Kim,

It was comical to read your and Bella's posts this morning . . .

I remembered how tired I was doing that last year at 3:00 am, and how nerve wracking it was.

and how much we are looking forward to doing the same thing in 2 weeks.

I just realized that I will be away from the computer for 5 days!!!!! YIKES! Withdrawls coming on!

We are taking Sophia and her BF from school Dominique to Cedar Point on Monday. I have been promising Sophia we would take her all summer, and I am finally doing it on the last Monday before school starts.

Everyone else's school has already started, so I am hoping for less of a crowd. Cedar Point is the largest Amusement Park in Ohio, and has some of the best roller coasters anywhere in the US. It is a small peninsula right on Lake Erie, and about a 2 hour drive for us. Sophia likes roller coasters, but not the big ones yet, and not anything that goes upside down.

Me, I love them all. I especially like the ones where your feet dangle, and you feel like you are flying. The only one I have not liked is the ones where you stand up. Amy and I rode one once when first married at King's Island in Cincinnatti, and it is the only time I have been scared on a coaster. I felt very insecure on that one.

If Becka were here, I would ask for a coaster smiley . . .

BTW PJ, my HS team is playing a team from Waterdown Canada next weekend. We have been playing them every year for quite a few years . . .

Are they anywhere near you?

We absolutely trounce them every year, but they like coming down because we really draw a crowd ($$$$) and the kids get to see the football hall of Fame. I am told THEY are a powerhouse in Canada, so we get lots of points toward playoffs by playing them.

Maybe they get confused without 12 guys on the field?

[lbgraves]

Hope you guys have a great time! Coasters are my favorite ride.

 

[Jhalkias]

Hope you guys have a great time! Coasters are my favorite ride.

Not counting the one Kiddie Coaster, they have 15 roller coasters! They have three of the top five rated roller coasters in the country too! Sometime, you guys need to come to Ohio so that we can take you there.
