We didn't get to do the coaster at DCA when we were there in 05. It was shortly after the accident and still closed down. I am looking forward to it this time.

Accident????

Accident????

Yes from what I remember and it was a long time ago two trains hit each other, no one baley hurt but Disney closed it fora week or so to check. When I was there they were running trains but no people on just sandbags or something like that to test.

They didnt know why two trans could bump each other, I remember it being in UK Papers so a big story.

Well Good afternoon everyone ...I know I havent been around much cause the MIL has been in town and they left for Frisco yesterday , and Today I got the News that my real Father past away ...We were never really close but I knew him in my teens and early 20's ...I hadnt spoke to him in 14 years cause we had a fallen out ...I wont be around much over the Next week , I am flying up to Buffalo for the service on Monday , hopefully I will be back tuesday or Wednesday. I need to go back for myself for closure , I'm not going back for him or relatives as I have not really talked to anyone in that time as well ....I have mixed feelings , but I think I have to say goodbye for myself ...Melissa or the kids never knew him ....If I sound like I am rambling im sorry , I have had a world of emotions over the last few hours , but I knew I could come here and at least escape it for a moment ....Thanks For listening ...

So sorry to hear this, Todd. I hope that you find what you are looking for.

 

[lbgraves]

Todd - I'm really sorry. I do know what you mean about closure, I haven't spoken to my "real" father since I was 20. There are days when I think I should reach out to effect some kind of relationship and eventual closure but then I remember how toxic he was and don't want to expose Pete or Joe to that.

Hear I thought that I was the only one in this situation. That is exactly how I describe my birth parents. We haven't seen them in 6 years.

Just seen this on the picture of the day thread so nice..

One more sunset, this one was of Skull Island

Your way behind us - ours was deposited a week ago yesterday! Right into the vacation of a lifetime fund.

Well, if the investment firms had an earlier deadline for getting their information out, it would be done already.

Well I'm back.. Good Afternoon to all

I need to go back 200 pages and ketchup up or go to the summaries.. yep I think I'll summary..

That was on our list until I saw that the ticket prices were twice as much as we have paid for our WDW tickets per day. What the kids don't know wont be missed. We will do an extra day at DL instead. I doubt that they will complain.

Lisa, Legoland has lots of specials with discounted tickets and free child tickets. I just had certificates from our local Dairy Queen. Burger King was giving them out for awhile as well. These all expire before next summer, but I'm sure I will come across more this coming year. If you or anyone else here is interested I will try to grab a big stack next time I have a chance.

Plus you get discount offers from being in the LegoManiac club..

Todd, I wanted to say sorry for your loss. I too, am one of those kids who has no contact with their real father. I decided that he wasn't someone that I wanted to be around nor let my kids be around. I just couldn't take the chance of them being hurt. I give you credit for going to the funeral and I hope that you find the closure that you are needing. You will be in our prayers.

Note to self: cancel any vacations where you do not have internet access 'cause there is no way you can catch up with cruise meet thread .

Read the summaries (Thanks, Lisa ) and congrats to the wenches for making an (almost) clean sweep on the milestones.

Well going to sit down with my bottle of wine, (er, I mean rum) and do the speed reading and see how far I can get before I pass out .

I miss those Cub Scout days! I was a leader when my DS was a Wolf and Bear Cub. It was a lot of work, but now I cherish those memories. Now he's taller than me and about to be a teen. It just goes so fast!

Yep.. I was den leader for both boys and Popcorn kernal and committee chair for the cub scout pack.. now i am committee chair for the boy scout troop and help run many other things too..

Pete has been on days for 8 or 9 years now. When we first met he was working days but the following year went to midnights (they have a policy here that if you are employed with the dept. 30 months or less, they assign you a shift every year). He was on mid's until 96 - Joe was born in 95 and he took care of him during the day, they each took naps and then when I got home from work he went to sleep again until it was time to get ready - we only live 4 blocks from headquarters so it only takes him a few minutes to get there. Anyway, after the first six months or so Joe wasn't sleeping enough for Pete to get enough rest so the following year he went to 4-12 which worked out much better.

Pete also works a ton of O/T throughout the year - averaging about 1 1/2 shifts every week which does help out but means that we see that much less of each other. Right now every time it becomes available he takes and it and says X$ more for our vacation.

My DH works a ton of overtime for the dept. It's what allows me to be a SAHM, but I hate how much he works.

Good night from me!

 

[allshookup]

Have a great time tonight BIP. We saw the Cirque show at WDW a couple of years ago. My hands actually hurt when we left from clapping so much.

And I am sure Ruby will do a great job for you.

Same here!
