DDA Chapter 25

[my3princes]

I really need to get to bed as it has been a long busy day. I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. I was supposed to sub, but the retreat that the teachers were going on has been cancelled so I'm not subbing as of now, but that could change in the morning. We managed to get the lacrosse equipment that we needed today. We upgraded Hunter's equipment since he plays a lot of Goal Tender and I want him to be protected. Colby now has Hunter's old stuff. They are excited to start next week.

I wonder if the bathroom police are one in the same with the parking lot police. There is a thread on the CB where people, well mainly the OP, are complaining about people who back into parking spaces.

I started to read that one, too, but I decided it was saner to stop reading. Do you think these people are like that in real life. I can't imagine being so annoyed all the time over so many little things. These people who go on and on about how selfish others are don't seem to realize how self-centered they really are. How can it be selfish to back into a parking space (taking maybe an extra 20 seconds) and not be selfish to be complaining about people making you wait while they back into a parking space?

I told Dana about this & he had the best response for people who think that those bathrooms are only for certain people.

"Its an accommodation, not a reservation."

How do they know if they backed in our pulled through? I'm a pull througher if I can help it!

I almost never back into a space, because I'm just not that good at backing up. I will always take a "pull-through" when available even if it's out at the back of the lot. If I arrive somewhere when there is no one else around, I will back into a spot, especially somewhere like a parking garage. Backing into traffic can be so dangerous. In my experience, people don't stop to let you back out if there is a long line leaving.

I pull thru in a parking lot too. I have trouble backing especially if I have suvs or vans or trucks parked beside me. Pulling out is just plain easier.

Stephanie and I made some changes on our cruise. We dropped DCL transfers and upgraded our cabin. For $55pp extra we are now a cat 4 on deck 8

I am soooooo looking forward to this cruise.

Well, I'm back from the 5K. It was a fun experience! Alan and I just stayed together and jogged a bit, then walked a bit, then jogged a bit, etc. We talked and talked, and just enjoyed ourselves, without killing ourselves. Our goal was to finish in a time under an hour. We managed to finish in 45 minutes! When we got our race cards, we found out that I placed 10th in my category, and Alan placed 11th in his. Not too bad!

After the race, we went to the Blue Fish for sushi. I've never had it before, so I was a bit nervous about it. I ordered a California roll, and it was pretty good! I didn't really enjoy the seaweed wrap around it, but other than that, it was really tasty. We ordered some edamame for an appetizer, and I'm telling you that I could make a full meal of that stuff! I'm officially addicted to steamed edamame! I'm off to the store tomorrow to get some and try it out at home!

Anyway, now we're home, and my muscles are all seizing! I'm going to take a hot bath and go to bed. As we pulled into the house, Alan asked me if I'd be up to another 5K a week from Saturday... I really don't know what to say. While I had a good time tonight, I wasn't really prepared for this. It would be nice to do some training before trying again. We'll see!

Night everyone.

Great job!

I think I'd just throw back that they can use it too as they clearly have a mental disability

Good morning

 

[mommykds]

Glynis,
Congrats on the 5K!!!

Terry,
for the cabin upgrade!! You girls will have a great time.



Well I must be a selfish so-in-so because I always pull through in parking spots even at Disney. It is way safer to pull out going forward when you leave than backing out. Why do things like that bother people? Weird..I guess they are so blessed in life they have absolutely nothing else to worry about.

 

[tinknme]

Anne Marie sounds like you did a great job with dinner, I love my crock pot!

Glynis great job on the run

Becky glad you made it to Ny & had a good time.

Gary & I went out last night so I could get my corned beef & cabbage fix & it was so good!

Vent ahead


I'm furious!!! I was scheduled to work a full day at school today, but they called yesterday to say they didn't need me. So I reorganized my afternoon yesterday and my day today to compensate for a little additional time to get things done for my meeting tonight. Apparently the secretary called back yesterday afternoon before school got out to tell me that she needed me afterall. Unfortunately I wasn't in the house so she left a message on the house cellphone. Well no one used that phone last night so we had no idea that she had left a message. I worked pretty late last night so it was after 10:30 PM when I got home. I wasn't sleepy as I had been busy at work. I took some tylenol PM and a hot bath, but didn't actually get to be until 12:45 am. No one called this morning as Chris was home until 7:45. So the phone rings at 8:10 and I missed it. Checked the messages at that time to find the one she left. She actually left a message saying not to call her back unless I counld do it. Hmmm great if I actually got the message So when I got the message it was 8:10, I hadn't showered and I have things that I have to get done this morning. I told her I could go in at 11am and was told in a not nice way not to worry. I really don't think they will call again for me to sub, but it is not my fault. She also claims that she doesn't have my cell number which I find amazing as it is on every piece of paper that has to do with any of the 3 boys
I never ever assume that someone got a message and certainly would have wanted verbal communication. Okay vent over.

They probably don't like the "bonus pull-through" parkers either!

ETA:

How do they know if they backed in our pulled through? I'm a pull througher if I can help it!

I should have kept reading! I am a pull througher too!

I know you two are going to have an amazing time on this special trip.

 

[PNO4TE]

Glynis - You rock, lady! Good for you and Alan!!

Becky - I am glad you got to go to NYC after all.

Janet - I am glad you and Gary got to go out last night. I love corned beef too, but with rehearsal last night, and dinner at an American/Italian restaurant that was not on the menu for me!

Deb - I would be angry too. Your school system is not so large that they wouldn't know how to contact you directly. There is no excuse for that assumption.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Tammi67]

If any of you get an email from Chanon with some crazy link, please don't open it!!!! Like an idiot I clicked on it and now I've got trojans, viruses and worms!

Also, if any of you get some crazy email from me now, DON'T OPEN IT.

 

[my3princes]

Facebook has a new virus. You click on the link and they get all of your personal info including bank and credit card passwords. I think the link asks you to change your facebook password. We didn't get it, but it is all over the news this morning. I hope that is not the one the Tammi got

I've spent several hours this morning cleaning all of our computers and changing from McAfee to Norton as that is our new free software through comcast.

 

[Tammi67]

I haven't been on FB in several days so I should be safe from that.

I wonder if Channon has been on. Maybe she got the facebook virus which then got into her email contacts? I know that viruses suck and can destroy a computer. I've lost way too much info from viruses

I got one from the director at my preschool like that a few days ago. Fortunately, I didn't open it. Do you have MalwareBytes? There is a free version that works well. Dh uses it to make sure he gets all the spyware.

Yes it is very good. almost 40 more square feet in the stateroom.

We are now on deck 8.. AND....We are four rooms down from the Walt Disney Suite.
