Conservative Thread: U.S. Steele - Back In Business

[JB111107]

Good to see ya back, JB!





So your b-day is May 10th? Mine is April 25th, about 2 weeks before yours.

April 25 is my mom's birthday

not only did WE miss you, but there's been lots of talk on the lib board asking about you.

Oh really?? Do I need to go over and say hi?

When I go for a summer CP (fingers crossed) in 2010, I am going to specifically tell my recruiter to put me at HM no matter what strings they have to pull. You think I'd want Soarin', but noooo.... HM. Don't ask me why. I love the costume (yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys are all going "It'll be 110 degrees in the shade in the summer in that costume!!"- I don't care). I WANT TO WORK AT THE HAUNTED MANSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rant over.

So they have.... a lot. but now that they are all safely on Ignore, I have no clue what crap they're spewing. My BP sure has been down since putting all them on the beautiful Ignore feature.

I'm going for an English/Spanish/political science major.

HM will probably always be my favorite attraction at MK. I could ride it a dozen times in a row and still giggle through it. The heads in the cemetary make me laugh every single time.

Might be a school for you to check out. Just one more option you could have

Funny, I didn't think it looked like him either! But he released a statement a bit ago apologizing for his "youthful and inappropriate" behavior, so it apparently was him.

Also OT, but I had totally forgotten the Steelers' head coach was the guy who spoke at my Commencement last year. Wow, I'm getting old if my memory's going that fast!

That is really disappointing that he would do that, do that in public, and do that knowing how many little kids look up to him. Something tells me this sort of behavior would make his momma go a little crazy. She didn't strike me as the kind of lady that would tolerate this sort of behavior out of her kiddos.

So the Steelers coach spoke at your commencement? According to Obama he was a huge campaign contributor and supporter for him during the elections.

I love HM- love it love it love it!!! If you ever make it to WDW during my CP, you must ride it with me.

I'll definitely look into it.

WHAT A GREAT PHOTO!!!!

did you stop to look at madam leota's eyes open and close at the entrance?

I did I did I did!!!! I rode it once and wish I had had the time to ride it again. I hear it is wonderful source for hidden Mickeys.

That's not being old - since when does anyone remember who spoke at her commencement?

Thanks!! Finally figured out how to take nighttime shots with my camera. And that pic was actually a mistake- I wasn't intending to take it but I sorta pushed the button and got that result.

I always do!!!!!!

Definitely before I go back, I will work on that night time shot thing...it was real guesswork on this trip...

ok send me a note at :

quilts.for.OFR @ gmail.com

Done here, too..

I'm a Florida Southern alum! Go Mocs! (short for moccasins, the snake, not the shoes!)

BTW, snakes were all over WDW - Honey, I shrunk the audience, Jungle Cruise, The Great American Movie Ride - bunches of other places and I HATE snakes!!! Like, Indiana Jones I hate snakes....

OMG!!! One of my friends has this on her MySpace- I LOVE IT!!!!

It might have to join Glenn in my signature.

You go girl! So what's up with you not riding Mission Space? Surely after riding RnRC umpteen times in a row, MS would be tame by comparison.

Ohhhh, that's one cool photo! I've never been on HM. I don't like rides with skeletons and such... I have to close my eyes at the beginning of POTC.

Oh, SD - I wanted to commend your food recommendation. You had mentioned the chicken Caesar salad so I got one at Sunshine Seasons - it was really good. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[JB111107]

That is an awesome pic!



I don't know how and I don't have a sewing machine. Is there anything else I can donate or help with?

Tink if you wanted to donate backing fabric or the batting (the filler between the front and back) for a quilt or two that would be great. No sewing involved! Send me an email at quilts.for.ofr @ gmail.com and I can give you more specifics on what we need and where you can send it.

Point 1: Agreed.

Point 2: Didn't know that. Blah. Then again, I can count on less than two hands the number of people I know who came out of that college (undergrad or grad school, I did both there) a conservative. Our ex-President was a big buddy of the ambulance chasing cheating trial lawyer, otherwise known as John Edwards.

His speech was okay. I hate football, so it wasn't a big deal to me. Now, if they'd had a baseball manager or coach speak, then I'd be interested! We almost had Tony Blair, but his schedule supposedly didn't work. Someone else was the other top pick, can't recall who. They had Gates (Defense Secretary) speak in 2007. He's also an Alum. I'd have much rather heard him than Tomlin.

Hey SD- someone wants to say hi to you.

That's from the new MK afternoon parade.

"Snakes.... why did it have to be snakes?"

Gotta love Indy. And I hate snakes too.

You go girl! So what's up with you not riding Mission Space? Surely after riding RnRC umpteen times in a row, MS would be tame by comparison.

After reading what all the orange team part of M:S can cause, I'm like NO FREAKIN WAY!!!! Any ride with barf bags is an instant no-no for me. RnRC is different. I've ridden it so much I'm used to it. Ok, that sounds weird.... it didn't bother me when I first rode it. And 17 times later , it still doesn't affect me in the least.

 

[Mikelly1221]

I'm the same way-hate snakes! Mascots are supposed to be scary, I guess, so for a mascot it works!

 

[SorcererDonald16]

Oh, SD - I wanted to commend your food recommendation. You had mentioned the chicken Caesar salad so I got one at Sunshine Seasons - it was really good. Thanks for the heads up!

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to hopefully getting it again in April. Will probably order it at Pizzafari. I like a lighter meal at AK, since it gets so hot there.

Hey SD- someone wants to say hi to you.

Donald! Thanks, Soarin! I'm not lovin' the new outfits though. I hadn't seen a picture close up of Donald, but the Chip and Dale picture I saw was kinda .

And I see this is about the 53rd reinvention of those parade floats.

Donald has been everywhere!!! Everytime I see a character greeting place, Donald is the character doing the greeting.

So I noticed.... you'd think WDW could get new ones.

 

[Humphrey Bear]

Oh, thought I'd share this- took this tonight at HM. Doesn't this look like the ultimate Halloween setting?

Wow. What a great pic!

Thanks for letting those of us that aren't going to WDW anytime soon, be part of your adventures.

 

[JB111107]

I gotta be at work in 7 hours so I need to head off to bed guys. I'll catch y'all tomorrow

 

[DisneyMomOK]

For the quilts, I suppose someone could donate fabric for the backing or batting if they didnt want to sew. As for what else goes in the backpacks, I'd send a message to Transparent to find out what else they include. I'm not really sure.

I would love to help, except I cannot sew. [PSA: My mother had to make my dress for me in Home Ec or I would have failed (luckily our teacher let us bring them home since there were not enough machines in the class).] I would feel privileged to help in any other way possible.

G'night!

"Snakes.... why did it have to be snakes?"

Gotta love Indy. And I hate snakes too.

Am I the only one who when I hear someone say that or read that quote, I think of Dave (aka Bench Guy) from the 2005 & 2006 WDW planning DVDs and NOT Indiana Jones himself? I miss Dave. The last 3 planning DVDs have been so boring without him.

Donald has been everywhere!!! Everytime I see a character greeting place, Donald is the character doing the greeting.

So I noticed.... you'd think WDW could get new ones.

Good news, good news. I never saw Donald around much last year, except at AK. Otherwise, I only saw him at Chef Mickey's. Tragic.

TTFN!

I'm about to watch a movie myself folks. I may or may not be back later. If not, happy Monday!

Sent.


And to whomever won't ride HM...I'd make you ride.

Some Random thoughts:

Welcome back JB. WE have missed you.

Soarin - Great pictures.

I like the new thread title.

So sad for Curt Warner and the Cardinals. They played a great game but lost. I have the utmost respect for the Warner's. Many were sad to see him leave StL.

 

[wonderlanne]

Oh really?? Do I need to go over and say hi?

yeah...they'll know you as "jelly beans".

 

[Soarin08]

Wow. What a great pic!

I've got loads more where that came from!!!!

Just to get everyone drooling....

They think they're so cute.... uh-huh. Sure.
