Hey @Octoberbeauty, are you a band director? I teach HS but the directors here are good friends of mine. They are gearing up for marching contest this weekend.

No, just a very active band mom! lol I work band camp every weekend for our competitions.

Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't been around. Funny thing is that I was just explaining a nonpology to Noah (8) last night. He told me he hurt a little girl's feelings. I asked if he apologized, and he told me that he told her he was sorry that she didn't understand he was kidding!

Band season and packing are keeping me very busy!!

Bad mum warning: #sorrynotsorry but I'm laughing at this. Gotta love little boys

That looks lovely. How long are you in Hawaii, what island? It's another place on mine and the kids hit list to visit.

6 days total on Oahu staying at Aulani. My favorite island so far has been Maui, but Aulani has enough stuff to keep everyone happy with minimal planning on my part.

Welcome to the Mid-Week version of WORD OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's WORD is again inspired by a common occurrence on The Dis--OVERDONEDANCY: The repeated posting of a response by multiple people that goes way beyond redundancy.

An example:
OP: How late is the Magic Kingdom open this Saturday night?
A1: MK is open till midnight this Saturday.
A2: Midnight
OP: OK, Thanks!
A3: It's not always open till Midnight, but this Saturday it's Midnight.
A4: We'll be there and plan to stay all the way to Midnight!
A5: I haven't read the other posts, but MK is open till Midnight on Saturday.
A6: As others have said, MK will close at Midnight this Saturday

A3-A6 are examples of OVERDONEDANCY

Oh I have the classic one. Back when Tour Guide Mike was a thing, the answer to every question.

Is Disney open until Midnight this Saturday?
Tour Guide Mike.
yes Tour Guide Mike.
Like someone said upthread Tour Guide Mike.
Should I go on Space Mountain?
Tour Guide Mike.
Chef Mickey's or 1900.
Tour Guide Mike.

Oh man it was so annoying. Just answer the question. I felt like making an account at TourGuideMike Just so I could answer every question with The Dis boards. See how they like it.

Similar to some forums on trip advisor.

OP asks a question.
Poster tells them to look at FAQ.
OP comes back and informs them there isn't an answer in the FAQ.
Second poster tells them to look at the FAQ
And so on.

I don't bother asking any questions there, it seems to be too hard for them to answer and I don't want to be referred to a FAQ document that I've already read and was written in 1856. Ok, slight exaggeration but close enough

Tripadvisor is the worst. People constantly reply suggesting you perform a search &/or read the top questions on the right. So, you perform a search & find thread after thread where the only reply is to perform a search. You read the top questions at the right only to discover most of the threads are at least five years old usually older. I've seen threads in the top questions from 2005. It's like they refuse to acknowledge restaurants & tour companies open & close frequently. As a side note, if I ruled the message board world, anyone replying only to tell someone to perform a search would be banned. If you don't want to answer the question, don't reply. It's really pretty simple. Okay, off my soapbox now.

WORD OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's term is something we've probably all experienced at one time or another--SHEET FACED: A term for the appearance of someone who has just risen from bed, and is bearing the marks of their pillow.

In a sentence: I woke-up late for work, and left the house still SHEET FACED.

 

[Kitty 34]

Waking up at my age really makes me looked sheet-faced!!

This is what usually happens when I've had too much to drink.

It's my birthday!! And I've thrown myself a grand pity party today! LOL My life sucks...that is all....

 

[jevs]

Happy Birthday Sherry

Is there anything we can do to make it all a little less sucky?

Find me a boyfriend? I don't think I could get a date if I paid them!!! LOL

 

[Disney_traveler]

Find me a boyfriend? I don't think I could get a date if I paid them!!! LOL

Happy birthday!!! If I were there we could stay in with pjs, junk food and alcohol and commiserate about guys. Currently, I don't even know what to call that I'm involved in. I think I hear the HS kids call it "talking to" ??? But basically I feel like we are two 30 year olds in some kind of relationship a 13 year old would be in! Boys are stupid and icky!

Hmm that would be a case of the blind leading the blind

I sure wish I could help you feel better.

Hey Sherry I'm a day late but Happy Birthday! I have just the WORD OF THE DAY for you...

RUMANTIC WEEKEND: Life sucks but it's the weekend and there's some rum in the cabinet. Some Coke or fruit juice and you're all set for a RUMANTIC WEEKEND.

In a sentence: After work Sherry will be picking up some snacks, ice cream, and Pina Colada mix and begin her RUMANTIC WEEKEND.
