Our stinky teens say....get a two bedroom villa!!! The nerve What do they think we're made of money? Maybe we should just pick some money off the money tree in the yard. Well, it's official...I've become my Mother

Hey Mary let's hire Cleaning Ladies YAY!.............no, but wait, then I couldn't afford the Trip of A Lifetime.................back to cleaning the turlets

Hey, that reminds me, did you ever get the Turlet of a Lifetime repaired? (It was you that had the world's most expensive potty, right?)

 

[Diznyfan68]

Reading over all the condolences for the loss of Todd's Father, I must just reiterate how much we truly have in common. It's amazing really.

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[Diznyfan68]

Okay, I just Ebayed our Audiobooks for our WDW Roadtrip next month. Whatd'ya think?

A Paper Life - Tatum O'Neal' Bio (DH is thrilled with that one )
The DaVinci Code - Resisted reading or go to movie waiting for this trip.
Bob Newhart's Anthology - 2 CD set of his best routines
Rocky Allen Showgram CD - skits from his Radio Show
What Remains - A memoir by Carole Radziwill. She was married to the cousin of JFK Jr., and he had cancer. The book is about losing all three of them in a short time and then being alone. (DH not thrilled here either)

Personally I can't wait to listen to all of them. Gotta love Ebay. Total Cost: approx $50 for all 5, less than I'd pay for 2 in the store!

Sounds good to me.

I just received word a few minutes ago that our DCL CM friend Tanya passed away this afternoon.

Andy, I'm so very sorry.

Yes Enna that's me with the really expensive turlet After seven, yes count 'em, seven visits, the turlet is fixed. It took another new tank to finally fix the leak but it's done. While the plumber was here one of the times removing the old toilet, he was telling us the many times teens shove things done toilets that they don't want their parents to know about. He then left and went to get tools out of his truck. Immediately me & DH turn to our kids and say if you put anything down there tell us NOW!! No, no they both say, and we hold our breath. Plumber removes toilet turns it on it's side and says "I got something" I SWEAR the legs just about went out from beneath me. My husband says "something bad"? Plumber says wait, wait (while we are dying) wait, what the heck is it? Oh it's a pen. Me & DH: Sigh of relief.

Now, it's not that we don't trust our kids, but they are teenagers, and I do try to keep one big toe in the real world. But I kept thinking to myself. What in the world would a teen flush down a toilet.

All's well that ends well!

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 ...

Todd...I am so very sorry to hear your news. When my family goes to church tomorrow we will light a candle for you and your family...you so that you continue to have the strength and character to be who you are, regardless of how someone else was to you...and your family that they can continue to provide the love and support that you need.

I just received word a few minutes ago that our DCL CM friend Tanya passed away this afternoon.

Andy...I am sorry for your loss.

Well, I'm sure that teens might flush a LOT of things. When our DCL potty went Amtrak on us, it was because a couple of teens decided to flush a t-**** just to see if they could. Apparently, it flushes, but blocks up the plumbing closet, which was right next to our cabin.

Any idea how the pen ended up in there? I know I've heard that cell phones are forever ending up in office potties because they fall out of shirt pockets & belt clips. I suppose the same thing could happen with a pen?

I had to actually search for this thread. What's going on tonight?
We have a new addition to our family today. His name is Stitch and he is a Beta fish. Very pretty I might add. I really missed the Beta I had next to me at the office for the last 2 years. He finally died. My work DH (the guy who gave my the diet grapefruit breath spray) had to give him a proper buriel. Yes, I think flushing was involved. Anyway there is a New Petco that opened real close to my house today and I got the little guy for $1.50. I bought a new tank that has a lid as I did not have Sprinkles (cat below) at the office and if she does to this fish what she did to Miranda's Sea Monkey's - it will not be pretty.

Our thoughts are with you. Closure is needed to heal all wounds.

Well - is there such a thing as pseudo-ketchup??? I am still missing all the pages between 27000ish and 31000ish - but I just caught up with everything from when I collapsed last night until now!

We're making our usual spring trip to WDW in June. It's possible we would have skipped this due to the "trip of a lifetime" next year and its cost - but we bought new APs in January before our last cruise and before we knew about what we would be doing in Aug 08. Since we have the passes, we're going to do the trip

Actually, I'm really excited. We were planning for 8 nights, but DH has just found out that there is a good chance his company is going to send him to Microsoft's TechEd conference (5 days in Orlando). By a weird stroke of luck - TechEd ends the day we were planning on flying down to Florida (after work). As long as we don't have more snow days, DS and I could fly down on the Tuesday and get 3 EXTRA DAYS of vacation! We could stay with DH, so no extra hotel cost. We were already planning to fly down on the Friday, so there isn't any extra cost there. We already have AP's, so no ticket costs. DS & I would get 3 extra days of vacation for pretty much the cost of our meals. How cool is that!?!? Of course, DH would have to be at the conference all day, but he could probably join us for dinner and evenings at a park. Plus, as soon as the conference ended on Friday he'd be on vacation and already there and ready to play. I'm going around with my fingers crossed hoping this really works out!

Although it was probably DS, Our extended families are very large, we have many holidays and this Thanksgiving and Christmas we had around 30-40 for each holiday, so maybe one of the small kids. DS would probably tell you it was happened while he was doing his crappy homework in there. Sorry, that was badddd

Family Movie Night!! Yay! See you later guys!

 

[dahuffy]

It would be very easy to arrange a meet somewhere outside of the parks for people to get together & say hello then. I'm sure many have the same plans that you do. If you would like to organize something LMK & I will include it in the first post.

I'm not very good at "organizing" things, but somebody else wants to we're game. We've never been to the area,so we have no idea what there is to do. Not renting a car. I just got a note back from Double Tree about port shuttle service. They charge $8-12 round trip. Not sure what one way would be. Also will have to find a way to get from the airport to the hotel. Checking on "Super Shuttle".

l She sounds adorable. I just realized I called you a "sweat" heart Sorry! In my defense, I had 4 kids running around me.

Mary

Didn't even notice.

Family Movie Night!! Yay! See you later guys!

Have Fun! Watching anything good?

 

[dahuffy]

We're planning on flying in the Thursday before and doing Legoland on Friday and DL on Saturday. If I take off anymore time than that my boss is likely to end up in a psych ward, especially as I'll be incommunicado for the majority of the trip.

We're planning on coming in on Sat. the 16th. Not really too interested in DL. Would rather save the money for excursions and gifts.

Congrats on the new fish...
