Diser's for CMO!

[fleagle]

But I swear if I hear my DD say "my nose is running!" in her whiny voice one more time, I may scream! JUST KIDDING! For some reason, although she is fully capable of blowing her own nose (since I've seen her do it), whenever I am nearby she becomes completely helpless, throwing herself on the floor or doing the consistent whining.

Yes, I know -- welcome to life with a 2 year old!

The best part about the whining and crying about the runny nose is that it creates more runny nose, which creates more crying, and on an on. Its a Mobius Snot Loop.

Since tonight is Lotto night, don't forget to stake your claim to your 1 in 175 million chance at our big prize. The prize and how to enter are listed in the quote.

If you enter and I hold the winning ticket... you will receive the following (changes in bold):

7 Days 6 Nights at Deluxe Resort for you and 5 guests (more if your family is bigger)
7 Day Park Hoppers with Water Park Options
Dining plan with Wine and Dine Option
$2,500 toward airfare (so you can go first class, as is your birthright!)
$5,000 spending money

This will take the prize up to... well... alot more! (Guessing in the $20,000 range since it will take two rooms to hold all those people.)

Bigger prize means bigger entry requirement. You have to do two things:

1. Go to erickidwell.net and send me an email via the front page of the site. In your email, include a joke to cheer me up for being 12th out of 13 in Brady's ratings.

2. Become a part of The Penny Project. You need to pass out three "lucky days" To do this, just leave three pennies in high traffic areas, even around your house. Just make sure they are heads up! The idea is that when somebody finds the penny, they will feel lucky. Get it?

Anyway... get those jokes in to me by Tuesday at 11PM EST to enter. I'll post the Disney friendly ones here. The Penny Project part of the entry is on the honor system. (Edit: don't forget to give me your DIS screen name if I don't already have it)

New folks and lurkers... you can get in too! I know it is a long shot... but at least its a shot! The point is not the winning, it is the dreaming. Think about who you would take on the trip, which resort you would stay at... what dates you would go... etc. Definitely worth the dollar, just for the dream!

And then.. when we win? BONUS (kind of a big bonus)

Speaking as the mother of a 20 yr old, 10 yr old, and 8 yr old, I can assure you.....

It doesn't get better!

(Sad, but true! Now there's a disturbing visual!)


More "Angst" (from a Toddler's Mother): Each weekday morning, I allow my kids to watch Sesame Street while snacking on bowls of dry Cheerios. Today, I noticed that my DS2 had excused himself from the room and returned -- with a devious look in his eye -- pushing his sister's baby-doll stroller. I intercepted him just as he was about to steamroll over the mass quantities of "O"s he had dumped on the floor, grinding them to powder. This isn't the first time he has tried this little "stunt."

Now what would possess a kid to do that? (His older sister never tried it.) I'm not sure if I should be amused or annoyed...

To answer a question from a couple of pages ago, I'll definitely be there when Top 3 get here as well as when the winner is announced... since I live in Orlando!

Patrick, loved your Nerdz video. Very funny. Wish you well!

Let me start by saying...AHHHHHHH! You found my Nerdz videos! :-D Good job super sleuth! The second thing I'd like to cover is my joining this board after getting tapped for the top 20. Believe me, I didn't sign up for votes. Somehow I have gone this long and just never knew about the board or I would have been here a loooooong time ago. Seems like a REALLY happy community. I was pointed toward this board and invited to join by one of your members. And to be honest it was your enthusiasm for my video that brought me out of hiding. It's possible that I've even met some of you. I was at Mousefest the last 2 years and we had a table for our show right next to Ricky's at the Mega Mouse Meet. You may have even brought home one of my Window to the magic "Patrick" buttons! I'm going to be sticking around long after this CMO thing is done. Here's hoping the top 10 calls start coming in in the next day...fingers crossed!

Thanks Patrick! But as you call me a "super sleuth" my husband just thinks I am a "cut out guy" STALKER!!!

I must admit "finding" you has been fun - I especially like the last seen in the restaurant filming your faces.....still laughing at that!

When I first found your site, Window to the Magic, I was really scared to "out" you --- Haunted Mansion Fan really likes the use of that --- and didn't link to it, because you seemed to want to keep quiet.

But everyone was talking about you so favorably that you just needed to know!

I will back away quietly now.......my family thinks I am certifiable as I continue to follow this contest as if I am still IN IT!!!

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

Hmmm.... maybe if I'm off that week from school and can find a cheap enough (c'mon Southwest, show me what you got) flight.... perhaps I will try and skip down for that week.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR!! We will be there 4/6 - 4/13! Trying to put the final arrangements together right now.... Land/Sea, because I don't want to go to Florida without a DisCruise, and the DS loves the parks, so compromise!!!

BTW - True Disney fans love all of the movies, characters, parks, miscellaneous items like kitchen timers.... Did anyone else have a tough time picking their "favorite"?? Everytime I see someone's choice of favorite I say to myself, "Yep, I love that too!"

125 is magical for on December 5th (12-5-1901) Walter Elias Disney was born!!! The number 125 has way too many ties in my life: my god-daughter's b-day is 12-5, my house # is 125, grandma's house # was 125, life's mentor's house # 125, my paycheck is issued at #125, travel agency I worked at was #125, and the day I bought a Flip Camera to record an entry for Disney CMO was January 25th(1-25)! So, that's why! Forever the optimist, I thought for sure that was a sign!

That's really cool!

Very interesting how all the 125's are in your life! And no, I didn't know that's when Disney was born -- but now I'll always remember it!

 

[Marshay]

Ok, admitting my ignorance.

I did not know what a Mobius loop was...so IM'd my geek DH who IMs back -- you made that up yourself??? ...a Snot-22 would be more appropriate and then proceeds to tell me what a Mobius loop is...

I think Fleagle needs to pick the numbers tonight... 1, 12, 25, right? Sounds lucky to me!

I actually already bought the ticket... but if I get time, I'll run and get another with those combinations. It would be brutal if I didn't get it and then the numbers came up!

BTW, the numbers are 17 19 37 46 53 megaball 28

You are right... in a strict scientific sense, a Snot 22 is definitely more appropriate. (and also funny) Something about the words Mobius and Snot and Loop all together is magic though.

By the way... do you think that anyone has ever written or said "Mobius Snot Loop" or "Snot 22" before today? We are making history here at the DIS.

I'm completely with you on that one CalDisneyFamily! You'll notice that I still haven't committed my "favorites" to writing!
