Son of a.... BRB

Haven't heard anything about this. We better have some on check the garbage disposal on the Death Star.

Sounds eerily similar to our performance evaluations. And no, he won't notice.:

Maybe you send me your evaluation and I can type that into mine. Still wouldn't notice.

What we do to sacrifice for others.

Sitting right now in our cabana. This is too cool. Water, fridge, TV, couch and lounge chairs. NCIS is on right now. Cocktails in a bit.

My life doesn't suck.

Why are you watching tv? Scenes of the ocean too boring already? Any babes on the beach? Cocktails always.

I was going to ask the same thing!

It probably would still work. On the bad news, the netbook still isn't working. The good news is the AC is working.

Because I can? Actually taking time to walk around the pool area and beach then chill out at the cabana. No babes. I have a new line if I find one, "Care to check out my cabana?" First vodka/tonic down. Probably a few more to go.

I saw the cabana on FB. Looking good. Next time, take me.

Hi Nick!

Well hello there!!

I'm on the new app and finding it much easier to access the boards and comment from my iPad and iPhone, so here I am.

Plus I have had the weekend off. Had some friends over and just got back from a boat ride out on the lake, we went for a swim and had BBQ on the neighbors boat.

Good day. Saw Amelia off to her grandparents for two weeks, then took Audrey to the pool. Man, was it crowded, it hit capacity at one point. Afterwards put some movies on to watch, Despicable Me, and The Muppets. Finished off the long weekend with a great dinner: Grilled steak, potatoes roasted in garlic, onion and butter, and grilled bell peppers, with peanut butter cup ice cream. All and all a good weekend.

Did anyone see the article in the WDW news section, where a father kicked his son in the face at Epcot, If this guy tries to join DDC I'm sure that everyone would feel the same way that membership would be denied, man card revoked, and should not be allowed to be a dad, this is just sad that someone would do this To top it off the guy's a doctor

Yeah DW showed me that... disgusting.

Two hours til I go see Spidey. Not as excited about this one as Avengers, but most reviews have been good.

Hello friends - long time no visit.

Life has been very, very, very busy. In the midst of Scouting's zenith right now with all of the summer-time activities. Just got back recently from Summer Camp, where I took 104 youth and 46 full-week adults, plus another 8 partial week adults. We have an amazing Troop. Coordinating it all is very much like bringing in a small army... but I LOVE doing it!

The business continues to grow, even if it is a bit slowly right now. Several new clients looking at cruises and other vacations into 2013 now, so that's good news for the pipeline. The referrals continue to come in as well. The FB page continues to grow in size, having just recently surpassed 300 likes, and the blog is creeping along getting new subscribers. I continue to add new content to my website, as it's grown to over 60 pages of info now. It's getting a bit more difficult to maintain personally. Soon I'm hoping to turn it over to an actual webmaster. I'm in 2 different networking groups, and after many months they are finally starting to pay off... that whole trust thing is important, and now that I'm regular and known and trusted, the group members are beginning to refer folks my way. I also have a couple of big new paid ads that I've placed in publications recently that are starting to generate... both have an 8-10 month lifespan, so hopefully they will reap the desired dividends. And I'm working hard to hopefully be in print in the next 3-5 months, but hopefully less time than that. I'll let you know when that time comes.

We are heading south in just 12 days now. Can't wait to be there once again... even if it will be hot and sticky. (Doing Florida in the summer has NEVER been something we enjoy... but it's the only week in the entire summer when the entire family would be together... so why not be hot there instead of hot here?) We'll be at AKV - Kidani. No parks this trip - just the pool, the resort, some mini-golf perhaps, boating, Hoop Dee Doo is on the short list, or Cirque du Soleil... we're still debating.

I haven't spent much time on here in the past couple of months - hardly at all honestly. But for those of you on FB, I do keep up and watch what's going on in your posts. I hope the rest of you that aren't on FB are well.

Take care friends. I'll try to pop back in before we leave for Florida...

Oh yes - and Happy Independence Day! ( a tad early).

Looking at my plans on the 21st I'll be at HS in the morning & Epcot at night, on the 24th I'll be in MK at night, and on the 25th I'll be in the bar car
Oh and on the 22nd I'll be at your resort for dinner at Schula's

Maybe the 24th. Definitely the 25th!! I will PM you with my cell # and E-Mail. I always have my phone and I am a huge text message guy.

Oh, please settle a bet for me - where is the best place to watch the Main Street Electrical Parade?? My wife knows where I suggest, and wants her family to see that I am right.

 

[Disney Commando]

Next May I am buying my wife a new car, I want to jump her up a few notches, so she will be going from a Dodge Grand Caravan to either a Caddy STS or a Lincoln MKX (used of course but with less then 50k)

 

[SAHDad]

Hope everyone is staying cool - it's well past nightfall, and it is still nasty out there.

Two random thoughts for the night - when BIL and I go beer shopping, we buy some odd beers (and a lot of them). Second random thought - when my kids are complaining when I am mixing a drink, I pour in a lot more alcohol than I might otherwise.

For me there's only one spot to watch the parade, between the shooting gallery & country bears, most likely you will even be able to sit at bench height if you get a spot near a tree right at the rope, less crowed better interaction, plus it's darker there so the floats really pop

Thank you!

My wife told everyone that I said we have to watch the parade from Frontierland near the Country Bears.

I told them it is less crowded, you can maybe get a seat and it is near where the parade ends, but it is still the same parade!! Also, since we will probably be going to the parade after dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern, it is closer and makes more sense.

Bottom Line: "You mess with a Disney Dad, you get the ears!"

You also have a great escape to POTC, Jungle Cruise, Splash Mountain, or Thunder Mountain, and more then once Big Al and and a couple other bears were hanging out taking pics and signing autographs while waiting for the parade to get there, that's a plus since you don't see them much
