Ahhh, you youngsters are wearing this old man out. Been dancin' all day, now you're getting ready for hockey and then talking about disco dancin'. I think I'll get the puck out and head to bed. See you tomorrow.

Quiet party, Juli - you must have the hockey team stuck in the penalty box. That's okay, sal-ute.


Ya know Dean, it's gotta be the ice theme. I can chip a hole in it for anyone who wants to do a polar bear cannon ball.

We are new, you don't know that we can be fun, fun, fun! I am definitely an extrovert, DH is definitely an introvert, but very freindly and sociable. I drag him out of his shell for some on the edge living from time to time. Argh!

I'm having fun with the folks who are here. Laid back and livin' easy. Thinkin about that cruise.

Sal-ute!

Juli

Oh my! Having too much fun to read the next page. Glad you are all here.

I live next too a bunch of single folks. No one will call the police if you want to skate in speedos and do cannon balls into the lake.

Go for it!

I was so there in the 70's Annie. Now I just do the "middle-age shuffle bouncie thing" I have none of my cool outfits either. Oh, that would be an awful sight. Don't want to scare anyone. I'll just sing along with all the songs.

My oldest, Nick, just came in and wanted to know why there was a bunch of frozen speedos strung across the fireplace. Some people just don't know when to call it quits!

Thanks for the fun time guys! Good Night.

It's too early, go back to bed!!

 

[dheller97]

Wow! Didn't think anyone else would be up this time of day. Hope your day goes well today.

INikki, I am having some problems loading this thread also, and I have broadband and lots of PC memory. I think that 1200+ post threads are stressing the server. I do know that Pete has placed an order for server and front end upgrades for the boards, so that should help once they are installed.

That's good news. It's not the # of posts, that's just a bunch of zeros and ones stored in a database - it's the # of people trying to HIT the boards, and this is a programming language called Perl - which is HORRIBLE for large groups, to be honest - it doesn't do very well at memory allocation, etc. So that's why the boards are speeding along now, but hurting in the day - ah the price of popularity!! *grin*

The car cost $484. *sigh* But now I would think I can do well to trade it in - DH is getting a company cargo van type thing with the catering company logo on the side (ah the joys of being an owner) so we'll trade in the Quest and my Elantra for something bigger that can cart kids and friends around. We're looking at the Toyota Highlander - and I want to load it up with fun things so we will want to keep it a long time. We'll see!

Off to shower and head to Boston...

 

[dheller97]

I'm impressed - techie talk before breakfast. Won't be able to post as much today, so got my quota done early. Wil check in as time allows.

Anybody seen my speedos?

Dean

Thanks for the explanation, Nikki. In fact, as I pulled up this thread this morning, I realized the key is to get on early when everyone else isn't on yet. The thread came up very quickly.

I'll bet it's really fast in the middle of the night. Maybe we should pull an all-nighter tonight to rack up the posts!

Good Morning everybody!!!

I had to remain out of sight yesterday. I heard from a few of you, would love to have a few more cards or cybercards for Miss Jill. I can't wait till we can talk about all this openly.

The party was fun last night, Juli! I'm sorry that I was so quiet no one noticed I was there. I think I fell asleep after the first glass of Boones Farm. That was quite a trick you had with the red shoes and the no-place-like-home trick - except I found myself all alone in my new house in WA!!! Oops! (I had to use some flue powder to get back. Or was it that some Eagles gave me a ride on their way back from some mountain called Doom which is nowhere near Ranier?)

I have a friend coming over to help out today, I think we can get most of the downstairs living space packed. Trouble is, she's bringing a bottle of champagne to ease the pain . . . at 8 am?

Ooh la la Nikki! A new car? That is so cool! I love new cars!

Well, everybody, I'll hang around some this morning. please cover for me mid-afternoon on!

Where's the party tonight? Saturday it's here at my place. . . .tho, I'm not sure where I live now.

Karyn

 

[kmc33]

Karyn - I am glad you mentioned about the cards again. I would have forgotten - again - to let you know that I would be glad to send a card. PM me Jill's address and I will get one in tomorrow's morning mail.

I'm a techie dork, and have installed and run a few of these boards...and I just took a class in Perl (I'm self taught on all this tech stuff, my degree is actually meteorology) and that's where I found out that for large groups, this is probably not the way to go - BUT, it is FREE, whereas the stuff for large groups is definitely NOT (thank you Microsoft!!) so I understand why they use this stuff. I'm part of the new internet generation, I'm afraid - if it takes longer than 10 seconds, I get annoyed...

So anyone read the post about the person who got food poisoning in Animal Kingdom and then was refused passage on her 3 night cruise, because they couldn't prove that it WASNT Norwalk? I sympathize, what a terrible experience - but I was wondering at the "rules" of this board, because she has quite the story and in it, calls many professionals "liars" and basically defames Disney and DCL. Here at work, posts along those lines would be pulled in 2 seconds, as that's libel (or slander, I forget what's written and what's spoken!) and WE could get sued for it! I also wonder that they didn't have her sign something to say she couldn't talk about it, as that's Disney (and many other major corporations), because she talks about dealing the claims dept - she might have lucked out in that.

Makes me double check my packing list for meds. for stomach illnesses, I'll say that!!

Karyn, I can do an ecard, just let me know when/where!! I'm terrible at mailing things the "old fashioned way".

Off to eat my bagel w/strawberry cream cheese and go through emails! Ta ta!

 

[goofyaboutmickey7]

hi everybody,, I am amazed that I feel as good as I do considering the party last night. I"m no worse for wear, hey did anybody see my speedo? or was I wearing a thong last night. Oh Well everybody have a wonderful day! Arrrggghhhh Eh! Randy

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Good morning everyone!!! I thought I would check in. Great party last night, Juli!!! So THATS where I left my Speedo, over the fireplace! I'll have to come get it before Karyn's party this week-end.

HADD!!!

 

[Cap]

Juli, thanks for the great party.

Team, great job on posts. I'll have to check in later. Broke my glasses and am off to the Optician, wearing my old back up ones.

Dean - the UPS truck just drove by and I didn't even get up from my chair. Shows that old habits can be broken.

 

[The4OfUs]

So what's anyone's guess as to whether or not the new Disney flick Teacher's Pet will be showing on board? That'll stop the kiddos from asking me to take them here... *grin*
