Conservative thread: We're still smiling!

[MeghansMommy]

Hi, y'all--I'm a very loyal lurker on the Conservative threads since before the late lamented election, but never felt witty enough to post.

But--#1Hockeymom--it's my anniversary, too! Happy Anniversary! Ours is the 27th--we passed the "married longer than not" mark last year.

Anyway, you all have made me laugh, cry, and think a lot in the last few months! Thanks!

And P.S. all you Debbies: I will be at WDW the first week of February, too, to celebrate my birthday. I'll be on the look out for lime green Mickey heads

Congrats on the anniversary soldiersmom and welcome to our thread!

Happy anniversary to Debbie #1 and her DH too.

Happy Anniversary! My birthday is Jan 4th. If it weren't for a BRAND spanking new job, I'd be in Disney with the rest of the Debbies! I need a Disney Fix bad, and I'm not afraid to meet new people! Some of my best friends started as net friends. Disney vacations fit in well with that sort of thing!

Wine flight= new glass of wine with each course to go with the course. I didn't order it. We just had a bottle, then kahlua/bailey's and coffee for dessert. Feeling good but not over the top. Dinner was fabulous! Even better that I'm on over forty days of not smoking so I have new taste buds!

I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! Way to go!! Do you feel any different? You should be so proud of yourself.

I have five digital albums to finish by 12/31. Think I can do it? I've been working on my son's since 7pm and I'm sick of it. Almost done though...

Random thought:

MM, Hil, and ward... if my garbage cans land in your yard due to these winds, please return them! Man, you'd think the winds would end sometime! Now the world looks all ugly. Yesterday I said to DH as we drove home from hockey looking at the bleakness, "I guess we start winter over now?" It was nice getting rid of all that snow... but now its sooo ugly!

I've had a few "NEED" moments, but basically I've been fine! I haven't cheated since the first week cheat! Between me quitting, and DH, who quit smoking years ago but got hooked on nicorette finally quitting his nicorette habit, we paid cash for Christmas! WOOO HOOO no surprise bills!

Way to go!!!!

I must confess that while I am looking forward to going and know that I will have fun, I can't help thinking it's going to feel really weird there without my family.

It may be weird without DH since he is pretty good about not minding the way I am. But, it was after being there two weeks with bickering 16 yr olds that made me think an escape would be nice.

 

[mfd25wife]

That's why I can't wait to work down there. I'll be able to go to the parks whenever I want, and if I want to stand in line for 2 hours to ride Soarin', well gosh, I can do it and no one will complain!!

. I would like that, too. And, you don't have to explain why you want to either.

Deciding I want to try something from every food service would be great for me cause I like to try new things. Not everyone in my family is as adventerous.

It's a nightmare going to WDW with my sister. She appears to.... be prepared guys, your eyes might burn if you read these next words, HATE WDW. So she makes a total a-- out of herself when she's there. My brother on the other hand, loves it.... he pitched a royal fit this time because we ran out of time to do Space Mountain (yet again.... I'm destined to never ride that, I suppose.... )

My roommate and I really want to try pretty much every WDW restaurant. I especially want to try the ones at WS- I really enjoy ethnic cuisine.

 

[studentmom]

Soarin- I am so jealous. I wish I would have done something like that when I was younger. You are going to make some great memories.

Wait until you see my TR after next week's trip. Can you imagine?... Zip + a digital camera + two days solo in the parks.

You're going to have a great time. I can't wait to hear about it.

Hi there! Happy Anniversary.

Here is the page at Sony with it.

It is really cool. It doesn't have wireless or a keyboard like the kindle, it has to be connected to a computer to download books. It is also smaller, lighter, about $100 cheaper but made of metal not plastic. Also the kindle is out of stock until some time in the spring I think. You can also download some third party software to enable it to pick up newsfeeds for free from all over the world. It is super easy to use and the screen is fantastic. I find myself picking it up more than I would a book.

It comes with 100 free downloads of classic books plus mine came with two Ian Flemming Bond books since mine is the James Bond edition.

That sounds like a wonderful gift. How neat!

You are doing great! I am so happy for the both of you.

Hi all. I come bearing bad news, so I really need your prayers and good thoughts. My mom was the family member I had been talking about. I didn't want to say who it was just because I didn't feel like talking about it. She got the call this morning, and she has breast cancer. On the good news front though, it is very small, non-invasive, and differentiated. The radiologist thinks she might not even need radiation, just surgery to remove it. I am really upset and worried (and we still don't know what the second area is), so please pray for me too. I know it could've been much worse though, so I am grateful and praying prayers of thanks right now. Please pray that they treat her fully and correctly. And on my end, please pray that the genetic factor doesn't come into play in my life and I don't get it as well. Thank y'all. Y'all have been a great help to me, and I'm going to need your support in the weeks ahead.

I'm so sorry for the news, but...it sounds like it is something they are feeling good about regarding treatment. My mom went through that over 12 years ago, and she is doing fantastic. I'll be praying for your mom, and you. I know it is hard on you.

Just wanted to say "Hello" to the Conservative thread.
Im 38 and a Professional Firefighter/Medic. (another Republican Union member)
I am married and have 2 children 3 and 1 years of age. My wife is also a disney nut (but me mostly).
I am an optimist through and through. And, i will remain optimistic concerning our (the USA's) future despite the recent election loss.
I believe that in the end, we will prevail and regain our footing.
I am a Republican mostly because i believe the Republican party most represents the "core" principals that our founding fathers had and wanted this Nation to become.
i am also pro-life. and a Veteran of the USAF.
Yep, i STILL support G.W. and am hoping for a great candidate in '12
Regards,Shawn

Welcome!



Well, my trip has changed a bit. My step-dad has gotten ill while we've been here, so we are headed home early (tomorrow) instead of Saturday, so he can do what he needs to do.

 

[mfd25wife]

I'm so sorry

 

[Saxsoon]

Hi!! OMG well I start my WDW CM job in three weeks so I'll be at WDW.... every day! Yet another DisCon I can't wait to meet!!

Do you start on the 19th?

I move in on the 12th. I am thinking of Chatham. You?

And what are you doing down there again?

 

[blestmom]

I'm so sorry

Thanks. We're hoping it's a reaction to a medication he is on. If not, he's headed to the Mayo Clinic. We'll know more tomorrow.

No, the 21st- I'm just rounding up. I'm excited about the 19th too, but not because of the CP. Yup, Chatham as well. I'm in QSFB. I can't remember your role either.

I'll say a prayer for him right now.

Thank you.

I really wanted to do that, but alas, my two years' experience in food service hindered me. I got slapped with yet more food service. But I don't care, I'll be at WDW!!
