Luckily, our room is way aft....so hopefully I won't need a designated walker.

I'm not sure that matters for me. I get all turned around on the ship. Don't know my aft from a hole in the ground.

My theory is that they are displayed in order of popularity - when a particular smiley gets used a lot it moves up the list which of course moves all the ones behind it. Of course, this is just a theory and I have absolutely no evidense to support it

So let's all agree to use some obscure smilie in all our posts and see if it moves up the leaderboard.

VOTE FOR !

Good Morning Crew

Waiting to see the birthday list for this week to see if there are any birthday wishes to make for today.

Since I know my darling Disney Daughter will get a huge kick out of seeing birthday wishes for her:

Happy 5th Birthday, Princess Rebecca!

 

[lbgraves]

yes, I did.. in my post... which you apparently didn't read either. I don't think anyone is reading my posts!

I post when I read the original post. Since I was over 1000 behind yesterday I wasn't going to go back & edit it when I finally got to your post. That is what is happening...not people not reading your posts. They are playing ketchup & responding as they go along.

 

[Enna]

Thank goodness! Finally ketchuped here and need to get some sleep. It is yard sale pricing time at school tomorrow.

How do you decide what to charge for each of the kids? Do teachers cost extra? Is the Principal on clearance?

 

[lbgraves]

Wow 50 minutes since the last post and it was mine!!! Kinda scary!!!

Consider yourself lucky! That was an easy ketchup.

I used to sing "Little Bunny Foo-Foo". SWMBO thought it was disgusting and thought I had made it up until we were at Biltmore Village and some woman was singing it to her son. The look on her face was priceless.

It seems like an appropriate lullaby for you to sing.

We can't price our own kids because that might lead to lowballing the total. Teachers are priceless. The principal may end up costing us a bundle to get rid of her.

I have this haunting mental image of you with your sharpie in one hand and a pack of those little brightly colored circle stickers in the other sticking prices on their little foreheads. Just make sure to use the blue ones for the boys and the bright pink ones for the girls.

Good Monday Morning Everyone!

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Andy - did you get your yard cleared of the tree.

MR- I hope you have a good Monday at work. I know exactly what you are going thru. I worked for a company for 10yr for two partners who were constantly making sure neither one got more then the other. I would go home every night and cry I decided to leave(no job to go to) and two months later they desolved the company. It was the best thing I ever did. 15yrs later I have my own business and the only one I have to answer to is myself and make sure my clients are kept happy!
I am sending you pixie dust today

To all my fellow disers have a "Magical" day!

Morning everyone
There was a funny article in the Orland Sentinel yesterday about Judys area Windemere.Her area is very upscale and it appears someone played a prank on the residents by dropping chickens and rabbits on the street. The story went on about how the residents were woken up by the chickens crowing (I'm sure they meant Roosters) and how they were chasing the chickens and dodging them with their expensive cars.The chickens were in the trees and they didn't round up all the rabbits as they said they were too hard to wrangle. I see lots of rabbits around for easter. They only pics they had were of the chickens in cages. Too bad someone didn't have a cam for that!

 

[Enna]

Happy Birthday, Rebecca!

 

[Verandah Man]

I thought they were saying she was one of Gladys Knight's backup singer/dancers...

No, no, no, no, you don't want Hazel to start singing..........

I had to find the text for that article, and wanted to share:


Farm living -- Windermere's startling ****-a-doodle day
Erin Ailworth
Sentinel Staff Writer

March 4, 2007

Count your chickens.

You might want to check on the rabbits, too.

Residents of Hawkshead Court think a prankster either pilfered or purchased dozens of the furry and feathered critters before dropping them in the upscale neighborhood near Windermere.

The first round of crowing started about 3 a.m. Saturday.

Soon, residents were -- dare we say it? -- running around like chickens with their heads off trying to capture bunnies and fowl.

Wildlife catcher Ben Cassan was called about 10:30 a.m. He said he doesn't usually handle such animals, but was persuaded to hop to it.

"When I got there, they had some in a cage already," Cassan said, "but me and some guys were running around, cornering them in garages and grabbing them by their feet."

Hawkshead Court resident and Orlando lawyer Mark NeJame laughed uproariously about his Looney Tunes-esque morning.

"I've been out catching rabbits and chickens," NeJame said. "It's weird."

Throughout the antics, NeJame said, the pecking order was obvious.

"We were all just running around," he explained. "Some of them were smarter than others, and some of them seemed smarter than us. . . . The chickens were a lot harder [than the rabbits]. They were sitting up in the trees and they were crowing."

Many are still on the lam, NeJame added.

"We just drove by a chicken," he said. "It's kind of funny that you've got suburbia up here and you've got all these people showing up in their BMWs and their Hummers and showing their kids the chickens and the rabbits."

However, 13 rabbits and 16 fowl did end up in cages at Palmers Feed Store on Church Street in Orlando.

Owner Bill Palmer took the animals in, figuring he'd be able to sell them.

"We keep chickens, but not this many," he said, wondering aloud if there would be fresh eggs today.

By Saturday evening, neighbors were coming up with chicken jokes.

"We hear ****-a-doodle-do and we see roosters coming through," one woman chuckled. "I thought we were on the farm."

No one made the most apparent quip, though:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Obviously, to get to the rabbits on the other side.

Could be, who knows anymore?????????
