CSE-- Pg. 74 SATAN'S HAMMER, Ch.18, pg.160 "Goodnight Sweetheart" epilogue

We're in a Little Mermaid room right now, and it seems more like a mile to the food court :rolleyes1 especially when you make a wrong turn out of the food court and walk all the way through cars land before you realize you went the wrong way :rolleyes:

We're in the Ursula building, so I knew exactly what you were talking about! And thanks for the tip on the refridgerator, we hadn't found it yet!

YAY,I was actually of help to someone. Hope you have a great vacation.:beach:
 
one of my favorite Saturday night tables came in (finally!) tonight. haven't seen them since before the trip.(I worked the party for their mom's 80th bday, and they called and aske dif I could be hostess/bartender at a party in their home, but it was the last day of our trip....they love me.. but I digress)

anyway, they usually expect some sort of "story" from me, and who am I to disappoint? now the last story I shared with them was the reunion with the twins. the 21 year old daughter was in tears, literally. and they all teared up with me about my dad passing while we were in Florida, too. it was right around the time the guy's(robb) dad passed away.

(why do these people like me? I sure make their dinners depressing! :rotfl:) Ok, I usually make them laugh, like my story about losing my squooshy pillow in southern Il a few years back,(payment for stealing the lightbulb from our first room).

ANYHOO.... I started telling them the story abput what happened to nebo this trip and I got further into it than Nebo has here, and the wife (Julie) stopped me dead. she is usually kinda laid back but she yelled, "WAIT! cut to the end. tell us if he is OK; THEN you can go back and finish the story!".. apparently she doesn't like cliff hangers, either.....:crazy2:
 
for about a year and a half, I also cleaned house for this family. (now she retired from teaching, so doesn't need me:sad2:).
one day I was cleaning on my birthday.. there was a balloon and a birthday card, and it said "we love you!" I was like "AW! they LOVE me!!! how sweet!"

that sat. they came in for dinner. the parents told me that it was Kristen's bday this week(I bring out a dessert with a candle and scare all my other customers away with mysinging) me:"really? . mine too! when was was yours?" " wed, oct 14.." me:"holycow! mine too!"

then the nickel dropped in.:eek:.."um I think I stole your birthday card....."

they all cracked up..(boy, they really MUST love me, sheesh)
 

I agree - it was a cute and really funny story.

(Note to self - don't let Smidgy near my birthday cards on Oct 20)

-Bob
 
Wow! We have a lot of October birthdays! I'm on the 25th. Save some birthday cards for the rest of us Smidgy!

Jill in CO
 
Sounds like a mostly pleasant day. :goodvibes
I'm still not liking where this is going. :sad2: I hate it when my friends are hurt or become sick, and I certainly don't want them sick or hurt in our magical place. :guilty:

And for the record, posts are coming at a good rate, is there such thing as posting them too soon? :confused3

Great post! :)

Yeah, yu need at least 3 days between posts once you get esablished to give everybody a chance to read and post.

my first report? shoot. I could have posted a chapter twice a day and both of my readers would have loved it.
Well, not Smidgy, she complained.


What!?! Another cliffhanger? Are you having fun yet, Mr. Nebo? :groom:

C'mere you, :hug:, there, now, feel better?
And yes I am!:cool1:

Hey You, we'll be there in April I think, In LM section so take lots of notes for us, like is the pool any good?

Post it! I can't take it anymore. I am betting it is somewhere between "Nebo was air lifted to the closest trauma facility", and "Nebo wil have one whiz-bang of a bruise". Put us out of our mystery.

Gold Star for Margie,,, great use of punnage!

O Kitty, have a wonderful trip and keep the place nice for us...we'll be there in two weeks!! :cool1:

Love the AoA pictures, Nebo. Thanks for taking the walk and the pictures. We may be staying there next trip, if we have my niece with us. Dreading the next chapter, but interested to know what happened.

We are almost home Nancy, almost home. But you do realize I had to tell O Kitty that I'll hold off on the next chapter until she get's back, it's only fair.

psst JK


Ack! I haven't even looked at the last chapter! My job finally is going to go back to normal (Do not ask about today... just... don't) and I'll be reading and commenting tomorrow... then I've got to read T-man's, Shan's... oh, and I have no idea who else.

Ack? Ah, I see you have the Thesaurus out and you learned a new action verb. C'mon, get back here and fight! It's the last chance for a while cuz then you won't be able to help feeling sorry for me and you'll be,,, "There, there Ponzi." And probably be pathetically sickening nice.


or not:lmao:


Ha! I'm so far behind that I don't even know how far behind I am! :crazy:

OH, sorry, didn't realize you weren't done yet.
Um, yes you are.


YAY,I was actually of help to someone. Hope you have a great vacation.:beach:

you are right, it's normally all of us giving you info just to help you get to work each day, but you did come through this time. :cheer2:

for about a year and a half, I also cleaned house for this family. (now she retired from teaching, so doesn't need me:sad2:).

I'm so glad you didn't pick up the other letter that said
"YOU, are overdrafted," and bring that one home too.

I love it when something happens and everyone else but you has the pieces put together... and like 2 years later, you're thinking about that and you say "oopps... I think that was meant to go another way." I think that's one of those moment God builds into your life to make you realize that A. you can't take your life or yourself too seriously and B. to make you laugh at yourself. :rotfl:
 
Well kids, I am basically done with the next chapter, gone look away for a bit and re read it one last time tomorrow for last additions and changes. You will have it , for butter or wurst fairly oily tomorrow nacht.
Well, when I switched over from the other report to this one, I said it would probably be 5 to 7 chapters before I got to it, and I pretty much knew then I was under bidding, but really, not too much.

Although some of them are a lot bigger chapters than I would normally do. As they say, times change.

Anyway, yeah, I'm just shooting the bull right now, if it seems like
I exaggerated things and over did the drama, I'm sorry, but I can tell you in all honesty
that everything you are about to read is complete and total truth, maybe some dialogue was made up from me filling in the blanks, but that's it. But I do PROMISE you ALL, ! there really is a lesson to be learned coming up, and if you don't take heed, like I didn't, there's a real possibility this could happen to ;YOU!

I'm kinda hanging around hoping Ponzi or Laura gets a post in, but that's ok if they don't, I'm aware some people have a tad more going on in there lives than I do.
But if they don't, that's ok, and "Hey You two, " don't worry about it, you don't have to dissect every chapter and I do know how much time that takes.

Either way I'll still post it tomorrow.

After I re write the ending another dozen times!

Yes, I'm not satisfied with my own writing.
I've got a situation kind of like way too much of:

"And then the castle blew up and we all went home!"
:lmao:
For the record, if anyone remembers Jaime, that was a Tiggerbell line from years ago. And it was her and Colleen, "Tiggerwannabe" that made the Bruce Willis picture and me a hero when I first joined the Dis during my first report when they used my picture in a DISBOARD contest, WAPASADI or something like that. You can't believe how flattered I was about that.
And embarrassed. And MonyMony made sure I kept up the embarrassment. As you can see, she still revels in making me blush pegging me as the "Sleaze of the Sixties Section."

Well, maybe she's not too far off.

I do have to say i'm not sure how long this report wil go on after we get past the down and dirty, not much to really talk about, or much I WANT to talk about, but knowing me, I'll probably do a skim.

Right, yeah Marita, I can see you laughing. You tell me yo don't care what I write about, you'll read it, and somehow I believe you.
Can I borrow a page from Smidgy's book and say that I, also, feel loved here?

And it's all of you that made me feel that way. You have no idea how much I appreciate that.
I also hope that in some small way, you can tell and realize that the feelings are totally reciprocated, even through the sarcasm and snarky comments, well, just like the kid in 7th grade that kept on picking on a girl or friends and put them down, well that was how he showed his affection. Yeah, that's me.
I found a toad out front this morning in a bush and put it in a box in the garage.
It may be time to really prove to Diane again how much I really love her!:littleangel:

Ok, that's enough babble from an expert babbler, we shall be re-connecting tomorrow, fersher.
 
I love the pictures from AOA.... I told my DH that that's where I want to stay there the next time we go.... however no one else I talked to wanted to stay there- specifically because of what Nebo said- it looks like a fancy painted jail block- no balconies or outside walkways. But I just want to see what the rooms are like.

Looking forward to the next chapter.. waiting with baited breath... (never totally understood that one.. guess someone that needs an altoid.. i'd say baited breath would be pretty bad!!). I loved your pictures you posted so far of the AoA.. seems like a pretty awesomely themed place.. whenever we can't get DVC, this is definitely on the list of places to try.. of coures we've only done moderates (well moderate).. it's either been POFQ or DVC.. i know.. how un-nebo-esque not to have stayed in every resort in central florida.. i will try to do better.. i still have a few years to catch up with you guys so i'll keep trying..

Yeppers, can't agree more. As you can tell, I always take myself way too seriously, and someday I hope to be able to actually laugh at myself. :upsidedow

Right, you know that I learned that a long long time ago, to laugh at myself and THEN I can laugh at others.
Hmm, well, something like that, but you know what I mean.
The best thing about being able to laugh at yourself is that when you tell a story and you are a main character, you don't have to worry about that person getting offended.

C'mon back tomorrow night Becca, it's really gonna be fun when all my remaining readers turn on me.
PS, can you hide me in Indianapolis? And you aren't too close to Fowler, are you? They may be the ones leading the assault! I'm pretty sure "Marie the Librarain" and "Yellowtink" are simple aliases along the lines of "Jack the Ripper" and "Calamity Tink".
 
Ack! I haven't even looked at the last chapter! My job finally is going to go back to normal (Do not ask about today... just... don't) and I'll be reading and commenting tomorrow... then I've got to read T-man's, Shan's... oh, and I have no idea who else.

Ha! I'm so far behind that I don't even know how far behind I am! :crazy:

Pkondz, that smilie reminds me of SideShow Bob!! SideShow Bob is hilarious!! ;)
 
Aww Carrie, I hate I missed wishing you well on your trip! I hope you are having a fantastic time in the World!

That is hysterical! They must have wondered,"What the hey, hey, hey?" (Isn't that from the pre-show on Rock 'n' Roller coaster)?

I found a toad out front this morning in a bush and put it in a box in the garage.

What a considerate hubby! Smidgy is one luck gal!:eek:
Next chapter tomorrow? I haven't looked forward to a Monday this much since Labor Day! (I know that wasn't that long ago, but you catch my drift, right?)
 
I love the pictures from AOA.... I told my DH that that's where I want to stay there the next time we go.... however no one else I talked to wanted to stay there- specifically because of what Nebo said- it looks like a fancy painted jail block- no balconies or outside walkways. But I just want to see what the rooms are like.

That's why I am so happy that at least the Mermaid isn't enclosed, she's still openfaced, and that will feel like home staying there

Looking forward to the next chapter.. waiting with baited breath... (never totally understood that one.. guess someone that needs an altoid.. i'd say baited breath would be pretty bad!!).

Even as a kid when I first heard that expression I used to say, to the point of being annoying, "You mean their breath smelled like nightcrawlers? YEWWW"

I loved your pictures you posted so far of the AoA.. seems like a pretty awesomely themed place.. whenever we can't get DVC, this is definitely on the list of places to try.. of coures we've only done moderates (well moderate).. it's either been POFQ or DVC.. i know.. how un-nebo-esque not to have stayed in every resort in central florida.. i will try to do better.. i still have a few years to catch up with you guys so i'll keep trying..

Frank, you came intot he DVC early on in life , compared to most folks. If that would have been us we'd probably be like you, but since we started out looking for any and every deal we could catch to go there, we ended up with the "scattergun" system, trying all of them, whichever was cheapest at the time.

But I'll e honest, our friends have OKW as a home resort, and we never want to stay there. Visited it a couple times, but , uh uh, and the feeling is mutuel for Saratoga Springs, they just seem too much like an over 55 retirement community in Arizona.

But man,, when the DVC opens at Grand Floridian,,,, that would be a dream come true.
 
Come on Down! If I'm thinking of the same Fowler, it's about two to two and a half hours away- so, no, it's not really close. Lucky for you, I've got a guest room. You can hide out there. I don't usually read the DisBoards in Mondays- usually Friday, Saturday, Sundays and Tuesdays.
 
Nebo, so I'm not going to quote your last post but I will respond to it. I hesitate to say I "look foward" to the next chapter because it sounds terrible to write that I anticipate an event that causes you pain. I DO look forward to how you will present said event in written form. You have quite a talent for story telling Nebo!

I get the wit, sarcasm, and snark because it's my "go to" as well, much as I suspect it is for most of us in your TRs. Something sure is the connector that forges the tie that binds. That's part of the reason that I like to post individually sometimes rather than multi-quote. There are so many good people in this TR and sometimes I think I can convey a little extra care when I respond specifically to folks. Gah, excuse the prior sentiment if it makes you feel queasy, blame it on the hormones! ;)

And really, I would love, love for you to have a TR open when little buzz arrives so I am staunchly in the Marita club as far as keeping the TR open goes or heck, any TR you may can open due to an upcoming trip. I promise I won't give a blow by blow account of the delivery!! ;)
 
. And MonyMony made sure I kept up the embarrassment. As you can see, she still revels in making me blush pegging me as the "Sle
aze of the Sixties Section."

One little mention of eye candy.......as a compliment!

I think you twist my words.

No I know you do.

I never said that nor insinuated that you are "sleaze", a tease...
Maybe.

I can come over and hold your hand while you type that last chapter. If it's ok with Diane.

Wait, I think I have a baseball game to watch. A very important one at that.
