Patty,
We were all born and raised in Omaha. My brother has always loved Kansas City. He's a die-hard Royals fan. He finally got to the point where his company could move him down there, the kids are grown, and his wife loves him so much, she'd follow him anywhere. Lucky dude.

Hopefully the Royals will do better for him next year!!! We all thought we'd be in the World Series this year ---- oh well.

We will be at WDW the 17th but we aren't planning on going to the parks -- thought we'd check out the Boardwalk and DD. We'll be getting in around 2 or so. My DH asked be the other day why we didn't book the 5:30 am flight --- guess I thought we might want to sleep the night before. But I never sleep the night before vacation -- too busy repacking in my head and worrying that I'll forget something.

Stacey - I will go read your email before I sign off. Here is a link to the post on the main page http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=666877

It has some great pictures. And in the post someone said they had talked to Shirley and her and Norm and the shop were all okay.

Mary Ann - it's the same thing. It was pretty wild but it was also neat. I couldn't believe the stuff that came out of my ear.

DD has always had major speech issues that have improved drastically over the years. Well, she also has always had this ear wax issue that is so bad that the way we can tell her ears are in bad shape is her speech issue reverts back to DAY 1. Then we have to use medicine for two weeks and bring her to the doctors to have them flushed out.

Well, the whole time we were doing this we were saying, "come on Julia, let us do this to you, you'll love it"!!! She was of course, mortified (she's 8).

It IS amazing what comes out of your ears.

Virgil - glad to see you are home safe and sound. I thought about you yesterday when I saw the reports about that plane going down in MO. It hits close to home when you read that it had physicians on it going to a seminar. Very Scary!

Okay, I really need to go clean, so I will try to check back in later.

 

[justmestace]

Going to go look at PC, and then signing off for now....
work to do, believe it or not!

 

[DVC4US]

Mary Ann - I know what you mean. Mine has ear issues also. Hers are more in the area of her tubes getting blocked and it hurts when she swallows. When I heard about the ear candeling she was the first one I thought of. I would like to see if it would help her, but I am sure she would freaked out at the thought of having a flame that close.

I'm going now.

Ok. Here's a joke for the day. I apoligize in advance for this one. Remember, it's just a joke. I didn't write it. I just pass them along.

GOT TO LOVE VERMONT



A Texan, a guy from Massachusetts, and a Vermonter are riding
horses out on the range.. The Texan, just to show off, pulls an
expensive bottle of whiskey out of his saddlebag, takes a couple
drinks, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it in mid-air.

The guy from Massachusetts is shocked and asks, "What are you
doing? That's a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!"

The Texan replies, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and
bottles are cheap!"

A little while later, not wanting to be outdone, the guy from
Massachusetts pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few
sips, throws the bottle into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots
it, just like the Texan.

The guy from Vermont can't believe it. "What are you doing? That was a very expensive bottle of champagne."

With a wink to the Texan he says "In Boston, there's plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap."

About 15 minutes later, the Vermonter pulls out a bottle of beer.
He opens it and takes a sip. Then another sip. Then he chugs the
rest of the bottle. then places the bottle back in his saddlebag,
pulls out his gun and shoots the guy from Massachusetts.

The Texan is visibly shaken. "What did you do that for?!?!"

The Vermonter replies, "Well, in Vermont, we have plenty of
people from Massachusetts, and bottles are returnable.

Hmm, did we just offend a whole state? Bad enough picking on blondes.

Are there really cooking classes on the ship that you can sign up for? That sounds like fun! It's probably Stacey pulling our leg again though.

Garsh! I forgot to sign out again.

TKD LISA - I just read your post on what excursions you are considering. Lisa (DD 10) and I will be doing the Horseback Riding in St. Lucia and the Seafari in Antingua as well. But, for my peace of mind, I am using Disney for both excursions. Whether or not you use Disney, I hope choose to go on them.

 

[scuba.mom]

Diana - I don't think you can sign up for cooking classes on the Magic, but they certainly have them. Jim loves them. I obviosly encourage him to attend as many as he would like since I reap the benefits of his cooking them at home after the cruise. I sometimes attend with him so he can have whatever drink they give me (since I don't drink).

Anyone have a link or can post a map of our cruise itinerary?

Yep, I learned to read menus and found it much more satisfying than reading recipes!

Did I seriously offend someone? I really wasn't trying to. If I did, I apoligize. How about we insult men instead? Let's try this one:

Train ticket


Three women and three men are traveling by train to the Super Bowl.

At the station, the three men each buy a ticket and watch as the
three women buy just one ticket.

"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one of the men.

"Watch and learn," answers one of the women.

They all board the train. The three men take their respective seats
but all three women cram into a toilet together and close the door.

Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around
collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket,
please."

The door opens just a crack, and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.

The conductor takes it and moves on.

The men see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea;
so,after the game, they decide to do the same thing on the return
Trip and save some money.

When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip but see, to their astonishment, that the three women don't buy any ticket at all!!

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed man.

"Watch and learn," answer the women.

When they board the train, the three men cram themselves into a
toilet, and the three women cram into another toilet just down the way.

Shortly after the train is on its way, one of the women leaves her
toilet and walks over to the toilet in which the men are hiding.

The woman knocks on their door and says, "Ticket, please."

I'm still trying to figure out why men ever think they are smarter
Than women!!

 

[MrsMork]

It is very hard to offend me!! Keep 'em coming, I am enjoying the laughs

Ok. Here's one in honor of Halloween.

LOUISIANA GHOST STORY

(This happened about a month ago just outside a little town in the bayou country of Louisiana, and while it sounds like an Alfred
Hitchcock tale, it's real)

This guy was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a real dark night in the middle of a thunder storm. Time passed slowly and
no cars went by.

It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his
face. Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly approaching and
appearing ghostlike in the rain. It slowly crept toward him and
stopped.

Wanting a ride real bad the guy jumped in the car and
closed the door -- only then did he realize that there was nobody
behind the wheel.

The car slowly started moving and the guy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running. The guy saw that the
car was sl owly approaching a sharp curve, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and begging for his life; he was sure
the ghost car would go off the road and in the bayou and he would surely drown, when just before the curve, a hand appeared
thru the driver's window and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend.

Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve. Finally the guy scared to near death
had all he could take and jumped out of the car and ran to town.

Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quavering, ordered two shots of whiskey, then told everybody about his
supernatural experi-ence. A silence enveloped and everybody got goose bumps when they realized the guy was telling the truth
and not just some drunk.

About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar and one says to the other, "Look Boudreaux, ders dat idiot that rode in
our car when we was pushin it in the rain."
