[Goofy + 3]

OK, I'll be the one to say it:

Timmy, Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Yeah, that was next on the list. And yes, I'm glad someone else said it.


Welcome home, Ryan.

Welcome home! Not DVC home, which stinks, but real home, which is pretty ok too.

I'm pretty sure that to any other attractive female other than Mrs Trike I'm invisible. I travel a lot for work but DW remembers my flirting from when we were dating so she doesn't worry at all.

This isn't a concern for me, either. I married the first woman who would actually go out with me.

So is your class about the components that go into making a road, like how thick it should be or is it about laying out a road, (when to build tunnels vs going over something)?

A little of both. We start out with choosing design speeds, design vehicles, how to lay out the geometry of the road, choosing the best path, etc. and then get into more of the details like lane widths, shoulder widths, drainage concerns, and so on.

Yeah, that was next on the list. And yes, I'm glad someone else said it.

Nice job on all the Airplane quotes, guys. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

Welcome back nemesis. Congrats on the BLT purchase! We love it there. Good to hear the trip was so successful. Do any marathon training down there?

Iamtrike - congrads on the DVC buy and "Welcome Home" (DVC style)

I hope to buy at BLT soon, always a hard choose we're to buy.

With little ones BLT is terrific because of the walk to and from MK, as well as the ability to watch the fireworks and the water parade from your room when the young ones crash early.

I think there is a pretty wide range of flirting. Some people could consider things flirting that are just being polite.

I'm pretty sure that to any other attractive female other than Mrs Trike I'm invisible. I travel a lot for work but DW remembers my flirting from when we were dating so she doesn't worry at all.
)?

DW doesn't worry about me. I am not a cheater. She just gets made when I do. I tell her that I am trying to keep in practice for when I flirt with her.

Yeah the DVC purchase was something we had been thinking about for a long time, but I hadn't intended to spend that much money while I was there. For the reunion my uncle had used his DVC points to rent 3 Grand Villas. The experience of having 4 generations together at Disney was really amazing. I have been thinking about buying it for a while but that experience put my over the edge. I still bought the smallest points package possible from Disney. I am hoping to ad to it over time through resale.


Thanks. We really liked the contemporary so I am very excited to stay in BLT.

Congrats and welcome home. As a fellow BLT owner, I can say that you made an excellent choice. The only problem with BLT is that I'm worried I won't outlive the contract.

That would be great, plus I fell in love with BLT when we toured the property in 2011. We just choose for financial reasons to buy AKV and may upgrade points at BLT latter.

I certainly hope you do, then we can all be old and complain together about the new generation of DVC members.

Wednesday evening ownage.

Well, that's what you get for laughing at implied highway worker jokes.
!

Implied highway worker jokes are one thing, but the pictures of Clinton on FB with the "binder of women" statement is hilarious. I don't care what your politics are, that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Mourning guys, home from work nap in the plans then the afternoon with DM And DS.
Waiting for a response from the X about our Mar Disney trip, I screwed up and we planed the trip for a weekend I don't have DS. So we wait and hope the X will trade a weekend so we can go without big fees involved.

Hope you get her to switch weekends. Good luck.

What kind of hotel is this where the desk clerks get to drink at work? Sounds like the kind of job I need.

You've never brought a drink to a desk clerk at a hotel? Now, I didn't do this as I think that goes a bit beyond flirting.

Well they did score one goal in the 77th minute, unfortunately Honduras scored 8. It is a good thing we have a good womens team at that level.

Sorry to hear it.

Question: Do Caribbean Beach Resort rooms have doors that open to the interior of the building or the exterior? What about other moderates? Thanks.

You heard the answer- yes to the exterior. But, the second floor still have a balcony type area, just a walkway. If you book at CBR, I would recommend requesting near Port Royale. That is where the feature pool is, the QS, shopping, nearby quiet pool, and of course, the bus stop. Whatever you do, don't eat at Shutters. Yuk!

Sweet....if August is still on for us though, we'll miss you, the plan is the end of August. Everything now is up in the air, gotta see how this job I applied for works out. If I get it, then trip is out for the time being, DW will need to quit hers and find something else, likely not going to make what she does now. We will try to aim for October though. If not, hopefully the next year. Might even attempt to see if we can buy/borrow some points from her parents to helpout.

Mind you if everything stays the way it is, I still might try to find a way to go October instead of August. Oppressive heat VS MNSSHP and Food & Wine Festival..

Anytime is a great time to be in WDW. I think October is great, but I would pick Sept and it's bad heat with MNSSHP, because it has better crowds than even October. Hope the cough has suppressed.

You never say that about me Chris, and I'm almost as old as Mike!

You should hear what Doc does say about you.

Bad experience at Shutters? Never been, so would be interested to hear why you don't recommend. Do they keep bacon off the menu????

 

[moose615]

I love my DD so much! On the way home she said Miss Tera is her new teacher, so I was trying to think of who Miss Tera was so I ask "is Miss Tera the really cute brunette teacher?"DD gives me this mean glare in the rear view mirror and says " Daddy don't even think about it!!" At 4 she's already staking her claim and not wanting me interested in any women lol

Worst meal ever. I didn't like Tony's because the food was bland, but Shutters couldn't even cook a steak. I think my steak was cooked in three different temp zones, but even worse, it was layered in fat. I forget what DW had, but she didn't eat it. When the waitress offered to take the steak back (& I know what happens when you send it back), but it was so dreadful, there was no hope. I just went over to the QS and bought a sandwich and brought it back to the table.

Look at you - using your daughter as game. Hey, whatever works!

I know you weren't - but it was the moment.

Sounds like an awful dinner. Def will keep off my list, thanks for the heads up.

Haha hey if DD happens to tell her teacher I said she was really cute then so be it, knowing my DD she would prob say the exact opposite just to mess with me and then it'll be awkward on parent teacher meetings lol

Then I read the reviews on DISboards and others said how bad it was. I wish I had found that sooner.
