DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[BilltM]

Good morning everyone.

Two more nights and we head to F&W for six days. Poor Deb caught a cold a couple days ago and had to go see our doctor to get a micro sliver out of one of her fingertips. Complete with tetnis shot.

Have fun at F&W. I hope Deb is better by Sunday (or sooner). No fun travelling with a cold. I've been under the weather since Monday night but getting better.

Morning!

Not much excitement planned for today. Have to finish up the homework for my Old Testament Survey class today. This class is so hard to just get through. The work is easy, but it's just time consuming and I'm in the class with very narrow-minded people. It's their way or nothing...One gal keeps posting differing opinions on the same thing this week. She reads me the riot act on my post and then praises someone else who has written the SAME thing that I did. Go figure...I just hate having to defend what I believe, even if it is a bit different than what they believe...I'm not nearly as outspoken as my husband is about it, but it's really becoming old...lol...just two more weeks of this class...and then I'll be done with it...until my Biblical Archaeology class in January. The perils of attending a faith-based college...

Good Morning Everyone

So, who thinks Chicago will get the 2016 Olympic bid? It would be pretty cool to see the Olympics come to this region.

I hope that would be the case. The entire Midwest would stand to benefit, not just the wonderful area of Chicago.

This would be the closest that I will probably ever get to an Olympic site!

I think it would be great to have the Olympics in the U.S. I have a feeling Rio might get the nod. But ... we have the Prez & Oprah campaigning for Chicago.

I soooo hope Chicago wins!! It would be great to have the Olympics in the states again!!

Matthew outspoken? I don't believe it!!

Hang in there, you're almost done!!

I actually visited Lake Placid, NY in 1980 just before the Winter Olympics started. It was pretty neet to see the Olympic rings all over the village and city. Can you just imagine the traffic in Chicago during the Olympics? I'd probably want to drive to Gary, park the car, and then walk to the Lake Michigan to see the water craft events. Of course, the train maybe a better option.

I would even give up a WDW trip to go to the Olympics. We could have a DIS meet there.

I would have to agree. The Olympics are in the top 5 of my bucket list.
Rounding out the rest of the list:
•Visiting all seven continents.
•Seeing the seven wonders of the world, or what's left of them.
•Touring all the Disney parks.
•Visiting the hometowns of my ancestors in Europe.

Good idea Kim...You know the rules, you mention it you're in charge. Is 7 years too soon to start planning?

I vote we meet at the Grand Luxe Cafe off of Michigan Ave. I just love that place.

From what I heard, you were passed out!!

You need to clean your ears missy.

Thanks Bill. We intend to. She's getting a little better and the FL warmth will be welcome for her. She's been freezing with the weather we've been having this week. I won't turn on the heat until November. It must be the Todd in me.

Now you're talking Kim!

I've been near Olympic sites pre and post the Games, but have never seen them in action. I was in Atlanta about a week or two after the Summer Games had ended there...and that was really cool to see the torch and everything. They had re-lit the Olympic torch for the Paralympic Games, I think.

And I drove through Salt Lake City a few months before the Winter Games were set to begin...I could see where everything was being built...it was pretty cool!

I would love to attend the Olympic Games at some point in the future...it would be one of those once in a lifetime kind of things for me!

Nice!

Did you see the article in the Indy Star this morning. They said if Chicago is picked there's a possibility that Indy might get to hold some of the sporting events. Now that would be very cool!

I figure that anything within a few hour radius is really going to benefit in some way!

 

[Minnie Lor]

Seeing the Olympics is pretty high up on my list too. I would love to see it come to Chicago. I went to school in Southern Illinios and I still have friends that live in the Chicago area. It would be great to see them again as well.

Brandi - that class sounds very interesting. We have a Christian college here in town that most of my friends attended and about 20 people from church work there. I would love to take some classes there but it's so darn expensive. Good luck getting thru your class.

It's 48 degrees thia morning. We still slept with the window open. I slept so well under a down comforter.

Errands this morning and then hopefully an easy afternoon. Have a good weekend everyone.

Pull out the Disney big screen during the 1500 Meter Freestyle. You can entertain the crowd while the race is in progress. That thing RockX!

It has been dark all morning here. The skies opened up and it looks like water is being poured in buckets from the clouds. Eww.

I selected the program because it was the most convenient for me to get my degree. One night a week and the classes, on average, are about 5 weeks long. One class at a time (usually) so it's easier to focus on that subject. Going back, if I had the choice, I would NOT have chosen this school. Don't get me wrong...I have enjoyed getting to know new people and making some new friends, but I do not feel as if I am getting an honest to goodness education. They focus things so heavily on the religion aspect that I'm getting very, very little out of my regular classes. They tie everything into religion and not about the real world. It's just frustrating. Thankfully I am now in Managerial Accounting...there's not much religion in that! I'm considering getting a Master's degree after my Bachelor's is complete, but I will not choose the same school...
