Welcome Magic! When you get to 10 posts you can send us the link to your video if you'd like us to take a look at it. So post away!

Thanks for the welcome! What I really need to do is brush up on tech skills to use all the cool little tools on the forum! Truly am 101 in this department. The age of technology left me behind but I'm inspired to learn! One of these posts I'll surprise you with a little smiley or something!

OH, that is soooooo not fair!

Has anybody seen that before... or bought it?

Patrick... you are welcome for the free publicity!

Gee, that'd be great-I wouldn't feel so green...say, we used to live in the D.C. area...our first 2 were born at Fairfax Hospital..one almost in the car during rush-hour! I worked at Dulles. We miss the area! Does anyone out there have a guess what magic125 refers to?!?

'No clue on the "magic125" reference. (Can you throw us a little hint?)

'Looks like you, Marshay and I should form a little Fairfax-Innova triumvirate, because both my kids (DD5 and DS2) were born there, too. Excellent hospital! (And I really "dig" the option to ask for a private room. ) My OB -- a friend of my in-laws -- works in Northern Virginia and has privileges at Fairfax. At the time my kids were born, we were living in Rockville (two Metro stops away from Bethesda).

We've since moved a little farther north. Suffice it to say, if ever we try for kid #3, I'm gonna have to find another doctor. I already thought it was a bit of a hike to the hospital at the time, but our new location would all but guarantee a road-side delivery!

Yikes! I'm impressed! (Okay, fleagle, now is the time for you -- and all of the other semi-finalists -- to panic! )

Thanks to all my new online friends for your expressions of concern and love.

To update you all, the Mom who suffered with cancer for the last month (Bonnie) passed away early this morning.

That is very sad Kenny, but it is so nice of you to spend your time with them during this whole ordeal.... my thoughts are with you and them.

Yep... not looking too good. All we can hope is that Patrick accidentally pledged his allegiance to Universal during his interview, or that the DVD contains an anti-careerbuilder rant and violates a bunch of Disney trademarks.

I don't think we're all ready to give up quite yet!!! But looks like an uphill battle!

Oh... I'm ready to take my best shot at it! But you have to think that David at least gulped a little when Goliath came walking out!

Patrick's been doing the "At Home Imagineering" thing for quite some time. He's very talented at recreating Disney magic at home. He used to have a web site that detailed many, many excellent Disney-themed crafty projects. Unfortunately, that site has been gone for a while now.

 

[limabeanmom2003]

Kenny,

so sorry for your loss.

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

So is Brady a finalist? He has never said!

Brady - nice to put a face on you!

My impression is that he isn't a semi-finalist. (I believe fleagle mentioned somewhere that Brady actually withdrew his entry. I'm not sure where fleagle got his info, though. ... during his phone interview, maybe?)

I do think, though, that Brady's experience with the video-making process gives him an unique appreciation for all of the work that went into creating each entry. (He basically said as much in his last post, which I thought was pretty cool of him. )

I've dished out my share of criticism (and praise), so I should be able to take it, too.

My 7-year-old daughter, Hannah, shot all the video. I'm very proud of her.

Making the video certainly gives me some perspective into the work involved. I suppose that's why I'm blown away by Patrick, Andy and Kerrie (and even the pixie dusters).

But I do agree that video-making and animation ability will have no bearing on the rest of the contest. Marketing skills, Disney knowledge and personality are what's needed from here on out.

That's hard. (I'm sorry.) Know that there are a lot of people who are praying for you, Bonnie's family, and the family of the 35-year-old friend you mentioned earlier.

Yes he mentioned to me that he had entered while I spoke with him on the phone. Not sure of the details on him withdrawing... but he said something to that effect.

More jokes... more entries into our Mega-Disney vacation plan!

Disneyfalcon really made me laugh with:

This one from FirstTimeCaller in honor of Kenny the Pirate:

There was a Captain in charge of one of her majesties finest vessels. The seas being fraught with peril, he was often faced with doing battle with pirate ships that were hoping to plunder their ample booty.
Each time a pirate ship would appear, the Captain would call for his First Mate and send him down to his quarters to fetch his red shirt. After a particularly brutal battle in which the Captain once again emerged victorious, the curious First Mate asked why he always donned a red shirt before entering battle. Was it some sort of good luck charm? No, replied the Captain. He wore the red shirt so that if he should get shot in battle, the men would not see his bleeding and panic.

Well, one day an enormous pirate shipped appeared on the horizon. Then another. And still another. The First Mate ran up to the Captain and asked if he should go get his red shirt. The Captain nodded and then added: "While you're at it, you better fetch my brown pants too."

And another gem from Timothy the lurker:

Hillary Clinton was visiting a nursing home here this week on the
campaign and she asked a little lady sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway
"Do you know who I am?" and the little lady replied, "No, but if you'll ask
the nurse at the desk, she can tell you your name!"

Keep those entries coming (you'll have to look a few pages back for details on what you can win... well, what you'll have a 1 in 175 million chance to win and how to enter)

Oh, does that mean I get the Captain's double share now?

Thanks again everyone for all the love and concern and prayers!

Sorry, guys but I've not had much time for research the last couple of days. A dear friend who was a member of my church died suddenly at the age of 35. She was the mother of a dear 4 year old. I've been spending time with the family to prepare for the funeral. I have another member whose Mom is about to die of terminal cancer as well. Your prayers would of course be appreciated for these families.

Very sorry, Kenny. Our family will include you in our prayers as well. Can't imagine how difficult it will be for these families...my heart breaks at the thought.

Dearest Fleagle,
Definitely DO NOT give up. You are one of the wittiest people I've met/read! I am sure your comic genius came through in your phone interview.
You are truly hillarious!

Uh oh! That is one of my key constituencies! I've got 5 blondies at home and I need their votes in addition to all of the online blondes! I'd better cool it!
