G’afternoon all…

I’m waiting on someone who yesterday told me he’d be here at 3 (that’s an hour an a half ago). Not a good start.

I am still waiting from about 6 weeks ago, when someone asked me how to keep a Canadian in suspense.

I STILL DON'T KNOW!

it seems to be working great now. Hopefully, I will get over my initial impressions. It was just the perfect storm.

That is good news. Know how frustrating tech issues can be. I usually give up. Will wait until the furor of the new I-Pad slows down to buy so they can set it up for me.

Home from soccer opening day. For those of you who don't remember, the team went undefeated last year. I lost 3 of my top players and returned 4 this year. First, my dd is goalie and gives up a goal. The team looked terrible. I am worried. I rotate my dd up to midfielder where she scores 3 goals. Turns out she was so mad (& competitive like me) that she was going to make up for the goal. She pulled the team together and went on to score 2 more goals. It was one of the most dominating performances I have seen.

Then, I center ref 2 games. I am exhausted. I ate 2 bananas and drank 5 bottles of water and I still had hamstring cramps. Tonite, it a dance performance with both dds. They have bit parts in the Owensboro Dance Theater Spring production. So, a few hours to play with my iPad before a shower and night on the town (that ends by 9).

Another easy day for you Norm? Are you going to actually do anything tomorrow?

Look at it this way, you will sleep will tonight.

DD update. She is feeling better but suffers from migraines and severe headaches. Still hurting but better. She needs to be, because she has French orals this week and do a bunch of work reporting her community services hours.

Tomorrow is 1 more soccer game and ref 2 more games. The true March madness is here.

If I have to I will...

Just send that Keg to Canada...I promise I will take care of it...

You can have it this time. A few more weeks.

I know! We'll blame it on a time warp!

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Good job, making sure everyone else is confused what day it is..

I wish more people and kids had that competitive drive...excellent job!

Damn where are these Auctions ?
you win some great prizes

Where are you going for these? Care to do some long distance bidding?
.

Where are the gift auctions (tricky trays, they have a bunch of names) held, Schools, Churches,Firehouses, VFW etc.

95% of the people there are women (in this case this gives me a upper hand)

The items are all donated and range from $5 - $1000 almost anything you can think of you might find there, I've seen sporting event tics, concerts, Disney, Airlines, weekend getaways, catering, 32in Flat Screen Tv's, bikes, tools, dinners, GC, patio sets, fishing trips, signed sports items with coa, lap tops, kindles, nooks etc,

Every table has a different color ticket that you drop into a can (each table is a different level of prizes and the tickets get more expensive at each level) example the WDW tickets were $5 a pop I bought 4

Then they pick a ticket if your number is the one they call you win

Right now and the Fall are the prime times they run these, so check your newspaper, or search on the net for ones in your area

I went to one the first time a couple years ago with my wife, and I got hooked, I don't spend more the $60 at them and I get a lot for the money, but that might just be luck

It has beena godo day here. We had a St Patricks Day BBQ with some friends and one of the families was telling us how they went to WDW a few weeks ago and just could not understand what all the hype was, and how they did not like it at the MK...The said that they gave it one more try and went to Epcot and as luck would have it...they were selected as the Family of the DaY1 They are still anti Disney and admit that Shari and I should have been in their shoes that day instead of them

Family Of The Day, now thats cool, how can they possibly be anti Disney after that, I guess some people just won't let the Magic happen

I agree Ron!!! There were "unimpressed" by it all...I would have been excited about it~~~ The had an opportunity that others would love to have and did not enjoy it like someone who appreciates and "gets it" would

Some people just don't get it at all... and I understand that.

You have to immerse yourself in the magic, and you have to WANT to believe.

I appreciate Disney for the details, for going the extra mile to make the magic real.

Some people just don't see it, or when they do see it, they don't even know what they are looking at.

I came up with a idea the other day,that my wife doesn't agree on, but on the past track record of listening to others instead of my gut I've missed out on a few prospects that did pan out So with that I'm just going to go with this one

The local firehouse is raffling a 2012 Harley, only 300 tickets $100 a pop, I don't ride but I like the odds, I mentioned it to someone I know who rides and knows the bike, I wanted to know how much it was worth, and say I won it if he would be interested and what he would give me for it

He said it was worth 20Gs and he would give me 14Gs cash, so with that in my mind I have to buy a ticket
