20. Something someone would be surprised to know about you I had a 10 pound tumor removed ( along with my right ovary) 3 years ago...gross:eek:

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

i don't think that's embarassing....i think it's really sweet!

and i think my DH would argue that football season counts as a season! in fact, we always have a superbowl party....he's celebrating because it's the superbowl and i'm celebrating because i get my husband back!

Thanks. Somehow, I knew I'd get a few responses like that from the women.

Yeah, my wife feels the same way after the Super Bowl. There is a two month gap in there after the Super Bowl and before baseball season starts that she knows she'll get my full attention. But the other 10 months out of the year, she has to share me with ESPN.

Aaron - those would be fresh Johnsonville brats - right??

Absolutely! Those are the ones I prefer. Although, I know quite a few people who have other sausage allegiances. But they aren’t welcomed at my house.

 

[punkin413]

Aaron - those would be fresh Johnsonville brats - right??

okay....so i know people that love brats really LOVE brats, so i hope i don't make anyone mad here. but the one and only time i tasted a brat i actually had to spit it back out.....it was so gross!!! it was the only time i've tasted food and have not been able to actually swallow it! i guess i could never live in germany!

 

[eeyore45]

punkin, that would be because you've never had a Johnsonville FRESH brat grilled outside - now there are white brats, that are hot doggish - firm and pepperish, not so much from me - there are brats that are slimish that dont get my vote, and there are beer brats, cheddar brats... and I would spit out one that was boiled in beer and onions - fresh or otherwise - I just dont like them that way!!

but once you get a fresh brat, grilled to perfection - you'll know it - do you like breakfast sausage? The Johnsonville brats have a sweet flavor, and texture similiar to your Bob Evan's breakfast sausage - good flavor, not over powering, and definately on the sweet side (not overtly sweet... just yummy!!)

i'm not a big sausage person. i can take it or leave it really. the one time i tried a brat i was camping with some friends and the guy had grilled them. i don't know what kind they were though. i definitely forgot my southern girl manners and spit it out on the ground!

 

[dance2874]

What a great idea Tara!!

20. Something someone would be surprised to know about you - i used to work for kenny rogers

OK, spill it! I have to know some details here!

20. Something someone would be surprised to know about you- I sang on stage on Broadway. DH's uncle is a musician in the musical "Chicago" on B'way, and he gave us a backstage tour and had us sing on stage to an empty house so we could say we had done it.

WOW! That is very cool! Replace sing with dance and that would be a dream come true for me!

20. Something someone would be surprised to know about you
To follow up on number 16, my wife is the only person I have ever dated. I've been told that I'm a pretty good looking guy; but I've always had single friends, so why would I want to give up going out with the guys to spend time with a girl? But when all of my single friends got married I realized it was time for me to enter the dating scene. I met my wife about 5 years ago, and I knew pretty much from the start that she was the right woman for me. We got engaged three years later, and we are into our 2nd year of marriage.

I think that is awesome! Very special to be able to say that!

)I took a picture with my digital camera of our first WDW trip - and yes, there is too much polyester in the clothes!!

Thanks for the idea!! Off to find the digital camera....

[punkin413]

OK, spill it! I have to know some details here!

when i was in college i was the office assistant for kenny rogers productions in hendersonville (close to nashville), tennessee. basically it was the office for his accountant, the person who made all the travel arrangements for his tours and his fan club headquarters. i answered the phone and made copies and ran errands and stuff. and i did certain things to pictures that involved a sharpie that i can give no more specifics on without the risk of being sued!

get this - my schedule when i worked there was as follows:
monday, wednesday & friday - i worked at kenny rogers productions from 9:00 to 5:00 and then i'd have the night off to study.
tuesday and thursday - i'd go to class from 8:00 in the morning til 5:00 at night, then i'd wait tables at night.
saturday - i'd wait tables at night.
sunday - i'd wait tables during the day.



no wonder i stayed so skinny!!!!!!!! i could never have a schedule like that now.

 

[UtahMama]

Sorry Aaron, can we call you Aaron, WI_Disneyfan??. Maybe it's because you're the "thread hunk", I must comment!

1. Name
Aaron

2. Favorite food
BBQ Baby Back Ribs
Double brat on a Sheboygan hard roll

3. Fav movie of all time
Godfather
Monty Python and the Holy Grail <WAIT, can I change my answer?
Finding Nemo

4. Fav TV show of all time
Golden Girls
Simpsons

5. Biggest Pet Peeve
Slow drivers
People who can't think for themselves, and always have to follow what others around them are doing and saying.
People who argue just for the sake of arguing.What the Heck?! You tryin' to SAY something?

6. Fav WDW ride
Space Mountain
Pirates of the Caribbean
Haunted Mansion

7. First WDW trip
Tough one. I think my mom was pregnant with me in WDW in 1976. But the first trip that I remember was 1981.HA! My mom was pregnant with me in *COUGH*1967*, and rode the Matterhorn in Disneyland, which explains alot.

8. Fav WDW hotel
I've only stayed at the Contemporary, so that is my favorite by default.

9. Your kids names (or future kids names?)
No kids, and we haven't really discussed possible names.

10. Fav WDW TS
I really enjoyed the Liberty Tree Tavern on my honeymoon.

11. Fav WDW CS
Casey's had some really good hotdogs. OH, But Yes, the do have the yummiest hotdogs

12. Fav magazine
TV Guide
Mad Magazine

13. Best advice you have given
Be yourself. Don't let others dictate who you are and what to like and dislike. So, do you want ribs for lunch or sushi?

14. Best personality trait
I'm very easy going and it is tough to get me mad. (But when I do get mad, the German in me really comes out so watch out!)I'm so German. I know of what you speak.

15. Best physical trait
This probably sounds goofy, but I think I look really good in a baseball cap. The shape of my face really lends itself to that. Also, I used to shave my head bald and I have a pretty good looking cranium.Nice skull, Aaron. Don't believe we've ever seen'd it!

16. Age of your first "real" kiss & what was his/her name
This will tie in really well with number 20. As embarrassing as it is, I was 25 and it was with my now-wife.Awwwww! How cute!

17. Goal for the next year
Move in to my new house!!!
I would love to reach my goal weight (I've got 34 pounds to go).CRAP, is that ALL? That's like 10 slim fast shakes and a stomach flu away!!! YAY!

18. Goal for the next 5 years
I honestly don't plan that far ahead.

19. Fav season
Does baseball season count as a season? I'm a Milwaukee Brewers season ticket holder, so I would say baseball season. If that's no good, then I'll say spring because the weather is getting warm, the snow is melting, and everything is coming alive after a long winter.

20. Something someone would be surprised to know about you
To follow up on number 16, my wife is the only person I have ever dated. I've been told that I'm a pretty good looking guy; but I've always had single friends, so why would I want to give up going out with the guys to spend time with a girl? But when all of my single friends got married I realized it was time for me to enter the dating scene. I met my wife about 5 years ago, and I knew pretty much from the start that she was the right woman for me. We got engaged three years later, and we are into our 2nd year of marriage.

 

[dance2874]

1. Name Jen
2. Favorite food
Anything chocolate, and Italian food too.
3. Fav movie of all time
Shag (as we discussed before) and a close second would have to be Dirty Dancing. (anyone see a theme here?)
4. Fav TV show of all time
Golden Girls, Once and Again, and a random old show (from when I was maybe 16?)that was on maybe one season called Dolpin Cove. I love dolphins and the star was a really cute boy
5. Biggest Pet Peeve I have sooo many, but here are the top two-
-Slow drivers in the left lane!! (DD has repeated me saying "its the pedal on the left!" one too many times )
-Being late. My dad was always late bringing me places as a kid and now I absolutely obsess over it.
6. Fav WDW ride Soarin and a close second Small World.
7. First WDW trip Ahh, back when I was maybe 10 or 12...I will be back to tell more on that trip later.
8. Fav WDW hotelNever stayed there, but the Poly and GF look amazing! We have only stayed at Pop so far.
9. Your kids names Amanda Grace. I always new Grace would be the middle name, from the moment I got pregnant. Her first name was either going to be Juliana or Amanda. When she was born, I told DH to choose. She is defintely and Amanda though! We had/have no boy names picked out. Took us 10 months to decide on the 2 girls names!
10. Fav WDW TS Hmm, we had a ton last time but none that are really standing out that I can recall. How sad! Looking forward to trying Ohana in Sept though!
11. Fav WDW CSSorry, but to me they are all pretty much the same.
12. Fav magazine Magazine? Who has time for those? I am still reading unopened issues from 2005 that are clogging up my bedroom Way back when, I had subscriptions and never had time to read them! Mostly parents, and O magazine with a few Glamors thrown in there.
13. Best advice you have given You will never know unless you try!
14. Best personality trait I have a good sarcastic sense of humor and I am very caring/giving...sometimes to a fault.
15. Best physical trait My legs...all those years in dance training gave me something after all!
16. Age of your first "real" kiss & what was his/her name 15, Larry. I found out about 10 yrs ago he is GAY and has been for a LONG time...I refuse to think I had anything to do with that however Anyways, I remember being so embarassed about 'the kiss' that we broke up not long after it happened. Not sure why but I was very shy about it all.
17. Goal for the next year To finally lose the weight I have been talking about for YEARS. And hopefully work on Baby #2
18. Goal for the next 5 years To maintain a healthy weight and also really go out and try to make my dream of owning a studio come true.
19. Fav season SUMMER. I love all things summer. Pools, the beach (oh, how I miss the CA beaches!)BBQ's, long days and summer nights.
20. Something someone would be surprised to know
Gosh I am pretty boring I think! The best I can come up with is that when my now DH and I were dating (for about a yr) we decided we were ready to leave Ohio. We were at a restaurant talking about it and they had a map on the placemants (no clue why) and we literally closed our eyes and picked a spot to move to. CA it was, and we picked up and moved over 2000 miles. It was the best thing we ever did and completely changed our lives, for the better!

 

[UtahMama]

I love all these! It's a lot of fun getting to know all of you!

Love the surprises like S.Poppins had a wild past. Love you Stacey!!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Do you realise that most of the names you guys are choosing are never heard over here!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Sorry Aaron, can we call you Aaron, WI_Disneyfan??. Maybe it's because you're the "thread hunk", I must comment!

I gotta say, I am quite honored (or honoured for our friends in the UK) to be the subject your 4500th post! And to steal my dad's favorite joke - you can call me what ever you want, just don't call me late for dinner! (Sorry, my dad is a real corn-ball and I guess a little bit of that rubbed off on me.)

As for not seeing my skull, there's a good reason for that. Any and all recent pictures of me are trapped in that darn digital camera, and until I get my computer out of storage that is probably where they will be staying. That is, unless I can dig up the picture CD our wedding photographer gave us. But that is probably in one of the 25 boxes sitting in my parents' basement right now.

I have really enjoyed everyone's answers to the questions.

I am sooo down right now.It looks like I am going to have to cancel our family trip this September. I just told the kids, because they talk about it every day,and two started crying.I feel horrible.DH's truck has to have the transmission rebuilt,it broke down Saturday and we had to have it towed home.I wonder if chocolate would help.......

 

[lexmelinda]

I am sooo down right now.It looks like I am going to have to cancel our family trip this September.

Don't give up, Amy! Don't cancel til the 45 day mark! You might get some money you're not expecting.....ya never know!

And STEP AWAY FROM THE CHOCOLATE!

 

[dance2874]

OK, first Disney trip back in the 80's sometime. Went to daytona beach first...we stayed in the Aloha Motel I got a HORRIBLE sunburn, and I never burn, so I had to stay inside for a whole day in the hotel. Then stay covered up the rest the week. We went to a tourist trap there called Xanadu, house of the future. Anyone else ever go there? For some reason I still remember it....it looked like an igloo or something from the outside and had cool gadgets in the house itself. Then it was on to Disney. All I truly remember is waiting in long lines and it being very hot. And of course, my Goofy Hat, which I still have! This is my sister and myself on that trip...no clue where the horse was we were standing by!

Thanks Melinda...I won't cancel until then but it would take a miracle.

That picture is great.I have never seen any pictures of us on our childhood trip and that is strange.My dad managed the photodeveloping plant for Eckerd and there are tons of pics from us growing up.
