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

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

So AI is now over everywhere.......

I am a survivor and AI addict and it is killing me that they compete......
Survivor was good nice little twist on the tribal council thing......

So did I read correctly that Alaina was voted off AI? Was she the one that was such a smart add to Simon about our girl Jennifer Hudson.......I hope that was the one.....

No. The one that said that about Jennifer Hudson was Antonella and she can't sing as well as Jennifer's left smallest TOE! ugh

What happened BIP, you couldn't find a 20th quote? LOL

Against what same may believe, I'm not aiming for lots of multi-quotes. I just reply to what I feel like replying to. I just happen to do it in one post instead of multiple posts.

Yes, we're all fine. No damage reported on the tv reports yet.

These little ones are actually fun....guess it's the adrenalin (sp?) junkie in me. You just shake around a little bit then it's over. They actually make me sick to my stomach if I'm at work when it hits. Our building is on rollers that take the shock of the quake, which makes the building sway for a few seconds longer than the actual quake. I get motion sick.

But I'll take an earthquake any day over a tornado or huricane.

ditto that... and we're more likely to have a tornado here than either earthquake or hurricane.

Why is it half an hour into it? It is midnight.....what time does it come on there?

I would assume it would come on at 8:00 like it does everywhere else..... I am sorry........guess I will just shut up for awhile.....can't seem to make anyone happy......

Sorry, I always forget the DIS clock is weird so it was later than I realized. But as I was typing my repsonse, it was just 9pm here. (came back to edit, the DIS clock is even farther off than I thought...used to be about 6 min behind, now it appears to be close to 20 min behind)

But remember Alaksa is an hour behind the west coast.

I don't watch AI anyway, so no harm done to me. Sorry Judy, I wasn't really upset, just pointing out that it wasn't quite the end of the hour.

I keep trying to get to bed by 11 PM, but then I want to see what's up with you guys . . . I'd like to get up earlier .. before kids . . .

 

[poohmomof5]

Well, I am caught up for the day! I can't believe how many posts are on here, I last checked at about 1:30 central, and I spent well over an hour trying to see what happened since then.

So now, I can only thing of one thing to say...Good Night! I'll be back in the morning, I have to make sure the kids are up at 5:30 (bus comes at 6:30am!). So, sleep well and be safe, especially you guys on the West Coast!

Poohmom

Again, thanks for all the kind welcomes! I am thrilled to have gotten to know so much about so many of you, (maybe a little too much too!!!! )

Good night!

Judy,

I'm happy that you are here. See, I'm doing the happy dance.

Ok you all I am still trying to get my scrapbook stuff together. I sure haven't been very productive.

That's the down side of scrapbooking....the getting it all together part.

I went to a scrapbooking weekend in January and haven't touched the stuff since I brought it home. Yet, somehow I still need to get things together before I go to an all-day crop on 3/17. How on earth do I need to get things together when I never unpacked from the last time? I just don't get that at all.

 

[DiaLady]

Judy,

I'm happy that you are here. See, I'm doing the happy dance.

Me, too, Enna & Judy . . .
I can do a happy dance for you both being here . . .

I know the feeling . . I have everything spreadout on my extra desk in my office . . I keep looking at it thinking I'll have time to at least finish another page. I'm about half way done with our trip in January. The crop for this month was cancelled (mainly b/c it has been me and my CM consultant . . LOL)

Have you tried the CM power box? It really helped me get me act together for my trip. . .now it's just spending the time to get it wrapped up . . soon . .

You made me figure it out and when I am 49 the kids will be 15 & 17.

Good thing you've got those little "miracles in a bottle".

 

[justmestace]

There's really no telling where they will pop up. They wander around all day. I love to just hang out and talk to them. It's a blast hearing all their stories. Anyway, just look for the blue people, they are all in blue. But if you ever see them with vests on, hightail it over there. The vests mean they are about to give away a "dream". They never know where they will be assigned to give one away either. The award time is randomly generated and could be something like the first 10 people to exit Haunted Mansion at 3:17pm. Or whoever is sitting in front of Mr Toad's Wild Ride at 10:36am.

Prizes are fastpasses, lanyards, mouseears....then the big ones, DVC memberships, cruises, a stay in the Mickey penthouse....

Here's a link to the official rules with all the prizes.

I told DH tonight that something must have been sorely missing in my childhood....I get so excited about things like this...well, all things Disney!

 

[justmestace]

When I'm 49 DS will be 22

That's more like it!

 

[sk8ingmom]

Evenin' pirates.

Did I stumble into the witness protection meet?

 

[allshookup]

Oh, I see you're checking the quake maps.

I didn't even feel the aftershocks, but I knew they were coming. I'm sure we'll have a few more tonight before it finally settles down.

My son is really upset he didn't feel it. As soon as it started, I yelled to him but he had his tv up so loud he didn't hear me. By the time he did, it was over. He's been wanting to feel one, but he never does.

That would be me! I guess we have tiny ones here in Mass, but I've never felt one! Glad you're all okay there.

Has anyone seen the comic musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"?? We got nearly free tickets for the show tomorrow night. . . even DH is going to go! I'd love to hear what you thought . . .

We have some friends who just got back from WDW last week. They got the golden fastpass for MK. With two young children, it was a HUGE blessing for them. .. It is so cool what Disney is doing . . .

 

[justmestace]

Um.........hello guys........when I am 49 I will still have a 14, 11, 8
Stacey does that make you feel better.

Not really. It just makes me feel sorrier for you.

 

[sk8ingmom]

Are these two titles synonomous? I know what they do to a Rugby Queen . . .(and it's very off key . . .LOL). Wouldn't want BiP subjected to all that unprepared That's why I dated the captain of our team in college . . protection from being "queen"

Oh she knows. I filled her in, so she gave the title to Crash.


We didn't all have the captain's girlfriend protection.

 

[allshookup]

Phew I'm all caught up! That was tough! I'll be 49 in less than 6 years & my DD will be 17 & my DS will be 14.

 

[poohmomof5]

I need some scrapbooking motivation! Any ideas on how to get caught up when you have never really started? What is a good way to start?

Thanks,

Poohmom

I;ve heard good things about the Putum County Spelling Bee... but I have not seen it personally.

Let me tell you a funny story... Feb 10th was my 11th wedding anniversary. But last year (on our 10th anniversary) my MIL passed away. Since I know the DW may not be up for it, I did not formally plan to do anything special on our 11th anniversay.

Well come the evening I ask DW if she wants to go out. She said sure. So I call my mom to watch the kiddies and decide to come into NYC and go to TKTS to get Bway show tix... I was hoping to get Putum COunty tix... but they had just sold out.

Most of the other shows we had seen except for the Color Purple and some other show called the Laughing Dog (or something like that). Well the DW did not want to see the Color Purple and the "Dog" was supposed to be a comedy. So we went for it on a whim.... well the show was about a male homosexual couple and yes there was frontal nudity....

Needless to say it was a memorable evening...

But I will make it to Putum County sooner or later!
