Thanks for advice. I have been getting some pm's from people saying it was totally blown out of context and people were very rude to me. Not all but some. Its not worth trying to aruge because once they have there view it doesnt change. I am not ready to toss my forums down the toilet though because of this.

Hey gang, just arrived this afternoon in Orlando. Am at WDW/Cornado Springs right now and the weather is pretty nice here... but the cold front is on the way with a high tomorrow only in the 50s. Oh well, we have a private party tomorrow night in Epcot and we're gonna get close to freezing here! Yikes! Can't imagine Epcot fireworks with near freezing temps! Things are not crowed at all here! The parking lot is almost empty so come on down there's plenty of room but bring your coats!

Cheers!

You gave a scare about the wrapped packages. Only the wine is traveling as a carryon.

I always carry on my wine and hope they make me open it.

Good. Keep up the hard work.

I need to make sure I have enough $$ for this cruise....
Shirts are $15, right?
Mr. Scuba...your wine is ? $22??

What else do I owe ppl for???

 

[scuba diver]

UNTIL YOU ARE AT THE PORT AND THEY SAY.........WHY THE ********** DOES THIS GUY HAVE 26 BOTTLES OF WINE AND WHY ARE HIS MINOR CHILDREN BACKPACKING IT IN FOR HIM?

Of course, we will be right behind you in check-in, so you can just blame it on the "OTHER SIDE OF THE FAMILY"

Guilty as charged.

The typed word is SOOOOO difficult to understand right now and lacks key elements of communication such as body language and facial language. For example, people probably can't tell from my posts that I'm a much bigger smart alek than I come across as on these forums!!

Most times I have trouble heeding my own advice of "shut your mouth and drop it!"

No, I think you come across very nicely as a "smart alek". Yes, I'm looking in a mirror right now.

 

[ohiominnie]

Oh, yeah...that's right.

Note to self: Pack an extra $0.82

Sure you could say that! You could also say that about nearly EVERYBODY on this thread!!!

Guess that's the reason we're having so much fun!!

Seems like I've had to do this a lot to you lately:

RASPBERRIES!!!!

Alright I am bringing it up again but have to get this out. I dont understand why people just keep on posting on my thread the rude remarks. Some are just out right mean. I dont understand. I said sorry a million times, I admitted I made mistakes(still belive original person over reacted) Why do people continue keep replying with rude things. I just hate letting it go, its like people talking behind your backing ruining your reputation.

I talked to GaRy today.

It looks like we are going to work out some diving before the cruise. Hopefully we will be able to make it to Blue Springs and see some manatees. It's sure is cold enough that they might be there.

One word "human nature."

It's a lot easier to post bad things than find the good in ppl. Do this....Don't go back to the thread and read anything. Let it go. Even if you're curious. Let it go. These ppl don't know you, there was a big miscommunication...if you lay low things will blow over. If you go and post in response to their rudeness, it'll escalate and it could result in your getting banned. You don't want that.

A scripture I use with my kids OFTEN ...."overcome evil with good....by doing so you're heaping burning coals on that person's head" (paraphrased)

GREAT NEWS, MATT!!! We shared a TOP!!! Now there is a sparkle of goodness in your day!!!

The water will be 72 degrees. He has a 3 mill.

I hope he doesn't mind the cold.

3 MILLION?

 

[scuba diver]

3 MILLION?

You figured it out. We are talking about cold cash, not water.

Matt:

I saw your post over on the community board just before I left work today. I didn't open it because I sensed that it was going to get ugly. CB is a kind of unique area. About 3-4 months ago they closed the debate board, and a number of people who used to "debate" are now on the CB. Those people tend to shoot quickly, and then escalate anything that the OP says. There is also a strong tendency not to read anything that gets said in reply.

There were also a couple of teens that posted there for a while that stirred up some controversy, so you may be feeling a bit of that backlash.

Relax, take a deep breath, and remember that in 5 days you'll be on the Magic with a great group of DISers.
