8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 15

[micmse2003]

Can you say Sucker! My oldest DD is not as social as her littler sis so this is her B-day party every year. I take Megan and her best friend and my youngest DD and we spend the day at 6Flags. Last year we caught Aly and AJ in concert which they loved. This year it was Coobrila. OMG! They were incredible.
It was SOOOO HOT yesterday! I was getting strange looks since my shirt has a huge sweat stain in front- just from standing in line. At one point, after standing in line for over an hour for that dumb re-done bobsled ride- I was willing to pay $20.00 for a cold bottle of water.
Anyway, I am $250.00 lighter but, they had a GREAT time- and I survived. All good things.

Did you hear Disney raised the park prices today!!

I thought I asked you to come to our meet in Dallas a couple months ago? Aren't you the one that said you lived a couple hours away and could not come? Am I thinking of someone else?
There are a good number of Texans on this cruise.

Will you be leaving on September 1st from Florida or can we convince you to stay til the 3rd???

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

I do? I need one?
Well I have no imagination whatsoever. I didn't even think up BIP- I just went along for the ride (once it was clear there was no use fighting the masses on that )
No clue what my freak flag would/could be. I'm a little scared of what you might think up though. LOL

Do you want to stick with the FGM theme or maybe Texas?

LG thank you and I Miss You TOO!!!! I appreciate your words of wisdom and insight!

I miss sooooo many of you!!!

Maybe this can be a time for healing on our thread. Somethings are sooooo hard to do in writing! Things are easily confused and even less easily explained away, but do know the following things to be true:

1) Many good friends feelings are hurt.
2) Many goods friends are confused, even bewildered.
3) Many good friends feel underappreciated.
4) Many good friends feel they've been thrown under the bus.
5) Many good friends NEVER want to see our thread CLOSED down EVER
6) Many good friends feel so strongly about the items above that they are no
longer cruising with us and/or no longer post here.

If you read back through the posts, LG is absolutely correct, there is hurt behind what appears to be anger in some posts.

It is sad, deep down to the core sad. I have passed away many a day and night posting, chatting, laughing and crying here and I miss it!

We are a large group and it is NOT possible for us all to get along and like one another, life just doesn't work that way.

I think some people deserve apologies and some people ought to offer apologies. I think I fall of both sides of that, but today I am offering my apologies, for things I posted and things I thought, for not being as grateful or as understanding as I should have, for being a chicken when I should have stood up for some, and for trying to sway popular opinion when I had no right to do. For these things, and for many things I AM SORRY!

Alas I am MR and so I will leave this serious subject with a little funny. I will approach this thread from this perspective from now on: Opinions are like Butts...............we all got 'em.........and they all STINK!

MR, you put this so well that there is nothing further that I can add except my own appologies. As the FGM said, I am proud to call you my friend.

If it was the one on a sunday afternoon..then yes, yes (sorta, I don't live a couple of hours away but an hour & a half drive each way), and no.

Do you want to stick with the FGM theme or maybe Texas?

Like I said... no idea here. So don't ask me! LOL

So I have a raincheck for our tickets- and the flash pass. (Yes, flash passes are expensive but do you think I want to stand around in line for over an hour and get a huge sweat stain in front of my shirt? uhuh no way! LOL I'm kidding.... )
How is La Vibora dumb and redone? We obviously didn't get to ride it the day we were there- it was closed at opening due to rain the day before and they said it would be open later- and it promptly started pouring again. I like that ride, but I like others too and I wait for none of them. I wish they had free fast pass like WDW but they don't- so I pay for flash pass (we usually just go once or twice per summer) and we be-bop from ride to ride all day. It's hard for me to spend that much money on it- but it's worth it because I don't think at my age (and my weight, etc. blah blah blah) my sanity could handle standing in that heat for such long periods of time. 2hr lines? puhlease... so not for me!

I really wanted to see coobrila though...
OMG $20 for a bottled water? That's beyond highway robbery. I knew things were expensive there but I had no idea $20 for bottled water. (I bring my empty water bottle and refill at the coldest water fountains. I'm so cheap eh? LOL)

Maybe sometime I'll "see" you there and not even realize it? LOL Glad it didn't rain on ya!

Unfortunately the Flash pass does not work on kiddie rides. The most exciting thing we rode was Judge Roy Scream (almost walk on) and the La whatever thing. The ride has been around since I was a little girl. That whole section is probably at least 30 years old. The ride is down right painful! It is a bobsled on no track so you get slammed around so much! The ride stopped so fast in 1 section that the bar slammed against DD's chest.
The water was not $20.00. I was willing to pay that much since I was stuck in line w/ no access to water. I did not want to carry anything around and so we grabbed drinks wherever.
Believe me one time a year is enough. Although to give credit due- much better experience than last year. Only 1 person walking around smoking. All employees wear buttons that say NO SMOKING and in little print it says "only in designated areas. Also signs saying bathing suits tops have to be covered. It was a child predator's dream last year. Almost all girls from 8 to 18 had tiny bikini tops and their shorts rolled down and up so barely more than a bikini bottom would cover. Yikes! Not exactly what I want my 'tweeners to see.
