So guess who we saw today?

Today was the Grand Opening for the Disney Store at the mall near our house.

Mickey and Minnie were here for the official ribbon cutting.

Excellent picture.

Here's the letter.

They were excited... but not "YOUTUBE - HOLY COW excited". The excitement is building through the day though.

Cool idea.

Sorry to her about your daughter. Hope it heals fast

Thanks.

I shoulda asked them if Mickey wants his pic taken with ME again. :lmao:

Someone has a high opinion of themselves.

I think all you can do is raise them to always do their best. At the end of the day, you just have to be satisfied that you did that. Some things are just out of our control.

I reckon so.
 

Hot dogs and beer tonite for dinner. Ever since I saw that show on hot dogs I have been craving them. Had my hot dogs with mustard, pickle, and tomatoes. Anyone want to start a hot dog thread? Ymmm. I could eat that way all the time,or until I am dead.
 
My Peanut Butter and Beverly moment. Printed out my travel docs last night and I found Enterprise had me picking up the car on July 30, not June 30. Called them and they quoted me a price $375 more than I was originally quoted. The agent could not do any thing about it nor could her supervisor. They put in some kind of action thing and "someone will get back to me." Probably when I am in Kona. So now I do not have a car in Oahu. We will see what happens but if it is $600 for a compact, I will just rent a car at the resort on a day by day basis. Screws up my plans though.

sorry to hear. hope somehow it gets worked out.

Sometimes, just sometimes my job is cool.
Me and my boys Tim Brown and Matt Leinart in Vegas on Wednesday.

And another thing, this means I figured out how to post a picture!

very cool!

Nope, just me and all my awesomeness. I'm sexy and I know it. The giraffe knows it. And now, you know it. Sexy enough to make a giraffe drool, all 15 feet and 3500 pounds of her.

:rotfl2:

Click Please... :wizard:


looks very cool!!

Click Me too... :cool2:


ooh... this looks good too!!
 
But these are Disney movies. Did anyone think Stinky Pete or Lotso would win in Toy Story sequels? Think Lightening McQueen would get compacted? Think Ariel would be caught and served for dinner?

i certainly didn't think it was likely, but even when i watch them now, i hold out a little hope that ariel will get fried up and served with chips!

And, it is a Disney princess film that has both parents present. I guess Rapunzel did, but with the kidnap angle, it was still a single mom raising her.

both parents??? how is that possible?

Right. This one has a strong family message. There is a nice dedication to Steve Jobs at the end of the credits. I forgot to mention that the soundtrack is very well done. The music really helps transport you to Scotland!

would love to go to Scotland someday... for now i will settle for being "transported"

Oh, I'm not worried about everything not turning out okay, with maybe an important life lesson learned, characters growing and changing a bit in the process, etc. I'm just on the fence about it - the only real sequel to Monsters, Inc would involve an older Boo (who we will still maintain is Bonnie, in Toy Story 3), but a lot of prequels (Lucas, I'm looking at you!) just leave me flat, even when I enjoyed the original film.

I think they can get away with it because they didn't have a lot of backstory in the original (or sequels to the original that allude to the backstory) They have A LOT more freedom with Monsters University.

Hey, Mr. universe controller, will you post less here and work more on getting those lotto numbers to come thru for me?

thanks for reminding me to break up my multi-quoting a bit more.
 
Well, the luck just keeps on rolling for me. Oldest dd broke her right arm (buckle fracture). She was wearing her flip flops riding her Scooter and flipped over the top. She is left handed, thankfully. I tell her not to wear her flip flops when she is on her scooter, so I hope she leaned from this painful consequence.

sorry to hear this. hope she mends quickly so she can enjoy the summer!!

And yours truly... with my best friends wife!

very nice!!

So as you can tell by my ticker, we are going to WDW this August.

What some of you don't know, is my kids don't know about this trip.

My DW had a great idea :idea:

What if Mickey invited them personally?

So I wrote up a letter, and was going to hand it off to some Mickey's Peop's and have him present it to my kids.

Well, when I spoke to the CM's at the store, and gave them a copy of my letter, she went to ask the Exec's who were in from Orlando, and they said they couldn't do it.

Reason: Mickey can't extend an invitation to just 1 set of kids AND besides that - EVERYONE has an OPEN invitation to join. But they said we can tell the kids with Mickey, and celebrate together.

Anyways, after seeing them I told my kids Mickey gave me a letter to pass to them.

Here's the letter.

good job on the letter!

Thanks and congrats on the weight loss goal.
 
DW reports that we received our cruise documents today for our 4 nights on the DREAM!! Just over a month away.

In other trip-related news, I purchased the photopass+ with the pre-order discount. Still the small matter of purchasing our park tickets, and putting aside money for the trip.

Also looking to purchase a few items for the trip. A new larger backpack to carry all our stuff in the parks. Some portable charging equipment and extra batteries for things i can't easily charge. A light-weight tripod. A waterproof flip-style camera.

suddenly, just over a month seems like not enough time.
 
Evening all...at the in-laws tonight, got here last night, spent the day with father-in-law at the river. Just sat in the shade, watched the boats go by, relaxing.

Had a bad day yesterday at work, kinda blew my cool. ( 5 or 6 times) Sure I'll hear about it Monday, although to my credit, it was not in view of customers, in the warehouse only. Didnt help that it was my last shift with my buddy-co-woker, she's now Full Time and in a new store, and she was the one to keep my grounded there. Gonna be a long-hot summer methinks.:scared:

Didn't know people went to Sarnia for R&R. ;) :rotfl2:

I do, no work, and quiet times with the in-laws, no stresses. We had bridge fries, watched the boats, and I got through a good book on Maritime Disasters. (so educational too!) Been a while since I could start/finish a book in a day.

ok another getting to know you.. what would you do if you opened the fridge door and there was only two beers left?

1] would you real quick drink them both cause there are not enough for all three guys?
2] would you speak up and say ok guys time for beer run?
3] would you offer it to the other two guys?
4] would you just quickly close the door so that one of the other guys could find this travesty?
5]other?

other dads feel free to chime in lol

I'd be worried I'm not at home, always have a dozen of beers or in there at any given time. Work Research.

My answer'd be 3

Click Me too... :cool2:



I can't wait for this for some reason.

I'm hoping for a wardrobe malfunction.

And me without my shell pic handy. :blush:
