From Oil Wells to Jingle Bells-Bells,pg.66, See you in September!

[Backstage_Gal]

Hey! A fan! That makes 1 for me to Nebo's thousands. Seriously though, this is Nebo's TR not mine. Nebo, if you feel I'm getting too much airplay here, say the word and I'll tone it way down.

Noo, seeing you two play together is fun!

Nebo, just saw this posted on the restaurant board and thought I'd share:

We ate at Ohana this past Tuesday. Do people actually eat that nasty shrimp? Not only was it incredibly hard to peel the shrimp looked like it had just had a big meal if you know what I mean! Just for the record, that dark filling in the middle isn't some kind of yummy stuffing. YUCK!

At least you didn't bother with the hardship of peeling them first....

Ruh Roh, I feel that I may have just lost two posters, they both may have to be checking into a "Reality Anonymous" group, and I don't blame them. Yes, my Bears are going to the NFC Championship game against the Packers, but who in the world thought that the Jets would beat the Patriots?
I'm sorry, Nancy and Jay, I was looking forward to a rematch.

I think if the tickets weren't on my card, I would pay to go into the park and then fight with Disney to reimburse me. Those days are limited, and $50 doesn't come close to making up for Disney time. Especially if it's too cold to swim.

Danielle, not sure what I would have done, Disney can be really unpredictable when it comes to stuff like making it up to you. And that would have been mighty expensive to make a point.

"After SW Smidgy wanted a bathroom so I followed her over by the side of the castle to have a smoke while she went." By the side of the castle? Couldn't Smidgy find a restroom?

Ok, it took me two readings to get this, yes, Smidgy often just squats behind a garbage can if it's not too busy.
But ONLY if it's not too busy.

Thanks Danielle, what trouble did you get me into now?

I am cold just reading this. It still beats Disneyland Paris, though, where they have tunnels down the backside of Main Street because they get snow in winter.

That had to be cool, though. To this day, we are dying to see what DisneyWorld looks like in Disneyland, with me and my "comparison list" passion of all things Disney, "I need to KNOW!"

love the doll comments about small world. zuli doll, isn't that the one that chased karen black around with a steak knife?

Absolutely correct! I think she even ended up microwaving the thing.
if it would have been me, though, I would still have to hit 222 more on the timer.

I was surprised that you didn't make a run for the casserole of progress to warm up.
It was considered. But we were saving that for later in the early evening,,,, it's always better with a Sunny D or Fuzzy cup in hand.

Oh yeah thanks for the image of the finger scanner. Lance and my oldest daughter say the same thing.
hope the eye is healing up ok

Allright, I guess it's time to sneak in an eye update here:
Two days after the injection, it seemed to get worse. 6 days after, I thought maybe, just maybe it might be getting better, but I kept it to myself just in case. And today it seems a lot worse. I dunno, maybe I'm using my eyes too much lately? We'll see what happens.

ha ha,,, Oh, I made a joke!

Aw, man, why'd ya have to go and do that?!?!



Great update Neebs! You brought the funny, as usual!

I'm sorry Nicole, I butchered up your post. But let's face it, Lance and I aren't the only ones that think about the finger thing, I'm sure.
And I'll take it a step further: Sometimes, not always but sometimes, I try to think ahead.
No, I'm not this paranoid, but when the thought pops into my brain, then i have to act on it.
The proper way to wash your hands is to hit the lever a couple of times on the paper towel dispenser FIRST: then, when all the fresh towels are hanging down, wash your hands. Now you can grab some disease free towels with your clean and antiseptic hands WITHOUT having to touch the smallpox, anthrax, malaria and typhoid infested lever on the towel dispenser, just to dry your hands.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to sanitize the cats in the microwave.

Loved the update, great as usual.

And I never thought I'd see the day of you posting pictures in your favorite DSA without actually smoking.

Maybe hell froze over?

Marita, being the always warm and considerate guy that I am, always thinking of my good friends and fellow **** sapiens first, I have understood how difficult I have made this report to read for you, someone who is stil in the quitting smoking process and really doesn't need to read about all my stops to a smoking area. Really, I was just thinking of you, and made sure not to have a cig in my hand when she took the picture.

Or my hands were just too cold to take out of my pockets!

How is your eye doing?

I've been home all week taking care of my 20 yr. Old dd.

she had her tonsils removed.
Her dr gave her liquid vicoden and it isn!t taking away her pain.

Liquid? Dang, I didn't know there were recipe's for it now!
Does it come in Itsakadoozies?

I remembered you take 2 or 3 at a time so we doubled her dose and she seems to be doing a little better. My dh freaked out and called the clinic and her Dr said that was fine.

Geesh! Ok, just call me next time. It's no big deal. Remember when you were little and sometimes if kyou were lucky your mom would give you cough medicine with codeine?
Basically same thing.


I took warm clothes to Phoenix, and I did not need them. so you are damned if you do and damned if you don,t.

Yep, that's the way it works. Hope your daughter is feeling better, keep an eye on your husband, he wants that stuff,,,,,"saved".

Loved the update nebo. You may have been in last place, but one time I wasn't even on the board.

Ok Tinkeryell, what have you done to your mother? Not that I don't like your contributions, but I'm starting to get a bit worried, something seems suspicious.
(gonna keep her talking now while the Feds get over there)
Yeah, you know the Leaderboard only goes up to 33, just like in Indy, and we know they have a lot more than 33 cars running at a time usually on the Raceway.......
(are they there yet?)
so obviously they can't have all the cars programmed into the Leaderboard, would't all fit,,,,,,, duh,,,,
(hello?)
but so far, our cars have always been listed,,,,,,
("Yes, YES, they're in Indiana, ,,, Oh c'mon, of course you've heard of it,,,,,"Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there, Indiana wants me,,,,,"

[nrod]

Well now my original post is gone. It's just like the game...everything going kaflooey.

So anyway, I don't remember what I said in my first post...but I am depressed today. This is not "reality," it's some sort of Jets dream. I would have loved a rematch withn the Bears - that would've been some good trash talking!! Going to be a tough one next week for you - but will be a really good game. To top of my depression, I'm taking the boys over to Patriots Place today to go ice skating. Doesn't seem to have the same sense of fun it did when we planned to take them last week. Things may be a bit somber over there today. I don't think the kids will notice or care though. Good luck to your Bears next week!!

Sorry to hear your eye isn't getting better. Hope it starts to improve soon!

Apparently I am more up to date than she is for once. BTW nebo, I couldn't get rid of her that easy.

 

[smidgy]

um, Marita, I have a confession. Nebo rarely goes disboard surfing, let alone post. Twas I, on the restaurant board. "nebo" often accidentally posts on other threads when he doesn't log out, and I forget to check. oops!

and, for the record everyone, I have NEVER squatted behind a garbage can to pee anywhere, let alone at WDW!! sheesh. never behind a bush, either (at least not at WDW on that one).


Nebo, you didn't smoke cause your hands were cold? you would smoke if forced to use a cigarette holder made from an icicle!

Smidgy, I figured that he was exagerating for effect... I, for one, did not think you found a bush or trashcan.

 

[nebo]

I hate alarms. There was a commercial for a lottery up here that posed the question, "What will you do?" They meant with the money you won. They showed this guy asleep being woken by an alarm clock. He then smashes said clock with a bat and goes back to sleep. The camera then pans to his closet which is crammed full with hundreds of alarm clocks. I would so do that.

When I was younger, I used to set my alarm anyway on my days off, just so I could turn it off and go back to sleep.




GoOoOOood MooOOooOOrrRRrrnIiiIIng. TiiIiIIme tOoOOoo waaAAaaAke uUuuUUuuUp!

The more I think of it, the more I like it. Or, they could change it for different times of the season, I.e.,,,when the Brazillian tour groups, or Pop Warner are taking over the resorts, you could wake up to Scar singing "Be Prepared!"







No kidding! $50 bucks? Is that all it costs for a family to visit a park? I'm in!

I did the math, that 50 dollar gift card they were going to give him is equal in value to 2 pina coladas from the Petals Bar and 12 Itsakadoozies. Nope, not worth it.


That's easy. So they can abbreviate it. Abbr. If the word was short, like say, dox. How would you dox it? Here's one for you. Why do they call it a lisp? "Thorry, I have a lithp." "You have a what?" "A lithp! A lithp!" "Nope, sorry, don't getcha."

Yeah, seems cruel doesn't it? I once had to go to speech class because I couldn't say my "S"s. I told eveybody my name was Thteve. One day my speechologist or whatever she was called leaned over and said, "Now I want you to say your name, STEVE."
"Huh? Excuse me, did you say Steve?"
All this time I thought my name was Thteve! That's when the brilliant minds in the public education system decided to give me a hearing test. Voila!





Uh, oh. Now the Universal police are going to show up at your door.

I'll just tell them it was Thing 1 and Thing 2.




Shhh.. She's concentrating!



Way to go Smidgy! I'm heading down to see the Indy 500 in May. Maybe Smidgy should try out?






I totally agree... except for the Spackle part. I've never eaten Spackle. But mashed spuds are merely a way of keeping the gravy from running all over the place. Otherwise, why have 'em?

That's exactly right, same with baked potatoes,,,,taquitos,,,,and Ruffles. Just a means of getting sour cream into your mouth. And let's face it, popcorn was invented as a way to eat salt and butter without making too much of a mess.


Thanks for another Great update Nebo!

Great post Ponzi, since you're no longer a woman does this mean I can't flirt with you anymore?
Don't answer that!

Guess I will be taking Sanitizer wipes with me in March.


Just wondering, what do you mix in the Sunny D bottles?

THe BEST time I have ever had in the MK was after one of those 45$ Backscratcher drinks at OHana's.....I think it was pure alcohol and gave me a whole new perspective on Wishes....

Kiersten

What in the heck is the Backscratcher drink, never heard of that.
Our Sunny D's are usually just some vodka added, and I try to jam a few small pieces of ice in there as well. You don't want to change the color of them in case you get asked to have it looked at.

I have to admit, I find Pkondz's commentary almost as enjoyable as Nebos reports, LOL

I agree, he's helped make the writing part a lot of fun for me.

Hey! A fan! That makes 1 for me to Nebo's thousands. Seriously though, this is Nebo's TR not mine. Nebo, if you feel I'm getting too much airplay here, say the word and I'll tone it way down.

I never occurred to me that they can't fit all the cars on that board before, guess it's just been a coincidence that the cars we are in are up there.

How easily we are amused! I guarantee there would be no dripping on the sidewalk though.

Sorry again about the Pats, Nancy, and I can see how the feeling wouldn't be there now for skating. Ask any Cubs fan how interested they are in watching the World Series when the season ends.

Apparently I am more up to date than she is for once. BTW nebo, I couldn't get rid of her that easy.

Ok, I was afraid "Mother" might be sitting in a rocking chair up in the attic or in the basement.

!

She's right, she's never squatted behind a bush or trash can in Disney.
Budt there's a reason that "sword" slides ever so smoothly out of the "stone" now.

Smidgy, I figured that he was exagerating for effect... I, for one, did not think you found a bush or trashcan.

Yes, that's it, I exaggerated. See Diane? Nobody believes it. Really. Honey?

 

[jcc0621]

Ok, first off Stitch ROCKS! Love the wake up call. Or at least my 7 year old does

It stinks that it is so called. I went one year during Christmas week. At night it was about 35 degrees in the MK the friend I was with and myself could not believe there was no line for Splash Mountain so we rode it several times. Um, yeah we regrettes that when we were waiting for the parade to start

Please tell me you at least had sweatshirts or something warmer UNDER the jacket?

Not exactly sure what was in it other than Spiced Rum and everything else from the bar and one of those bamboo back scratchers. It was a MAGICAL NIGHT with extra magic hours!!!

 

[mrsksomeday]

I know what you mean about looking out the window and it looking warm. Then we stepped out and wanted to run back in and crank up the heat. Florida is not supposed to feel that cold especially in the daytime, it is not right I tell ya.

 

[burly]

Hello Nebo. Great posts, as usual. Just catching up on all the chatter.
How is the eye?
I completely understand about being upset with the cold in WDW, being from "Chicago" myself.

Looking forward to more, as always.....

Ok, first off Stitch ROCKS! Love the wake up call. Or at least my 7 year old does

Yes, I like that idea, I should save this for an actual chapter, but, I like the concept of "Stitch Rocks."
Everybody who enters the queue for Stitche's Escape gets handed a basket of rocks,,,,,then,,,,,,,,,

It stinks that it is so called. I went one year during Christmas week. At night it was about 35 degrees in the MK the friend I was with and myself could not believe there was no line for Splash Mountain so we rode it several times. Um, yeah we regrettes that when we were waiting for the parade to start

We have avoided Kali River Rapids for a long time now, it's just not worth getting soaked to the skin for a ride that is INCREDIBLY short by the "raft in the tunnel" ride descriptions. Believe me, if you like this kind of ride, which we do, Popeye's Bilge Barge Rats at Universal just blow this one away by being a lot more fun and a couple of minutes longer.
One time we rode Kali for the heck of it, we were leaving soon anyway and if was a miracle, neither of us went under a waterfull, got blasted by water canons or waves gushing over the side, even the kids with the water guns didn't get us, the rest of the boat was drenched though. When we got off we couldn't figure out why we were as wet as we were, though.
And still getting wetter.
It figured, in the middle of the ride it started to rain.

Please tell me you at least had sweatshirts or something warmer UNDER the jacket?

My entire winter attire,,,(hey, I like that for some reason, entire winter attire, sorry) consisted of the jacket you see and a light hooded zip up sweatshirt and a light, thin, flannel shirt, that's it.
That stuff didn't really matter though, if you're legs are cold, "YOU"RE cold, and not much else you can put on except a pair of jeans.

The more I think of it, the more I like it. Or, they could change it for different times of the season, I.e.,,,when the Brazillian tour groups, or Pop Warner are taking over the resorts, you could wake up to Scar singing "Be Prepared!"

Sounds like it. I would find it intrigueing if not for the 45 dollar price tag.

My biggest gripe on the Disney fancy drinks is that there's little alcohol in them, for the money you pay.
One of the things I remember the most about falling in love with Disney was on our first trip. ]
Stayed at CBR, Martinique section and a couple times during the week, when the kids were watching tv Diane and I would walk down to the Captain's Tavern next to the food court.
It would be empty and we'd sit at the bar.
While we were there I would order two Mai Tai's with 151 rum poured on top, Smidgy would get a banana thingy and something else. But then, the drinks were 5 bucks a piece, and I've never had such potent Mai Tai's since.
Just two drinks and that walk back to the room was a riot trying to stay on the sidewalk.

From now on, when the need arises to get a couple of fancy drinks, I almost always have a little bottle in my pocket to add to it, especially when the margarita stand by Mexico starts calling out to Smidgy on a hot day. Without the added "vitamins" those drinks are useless as an ancoholic beverage.

I know what you mean about looking out the window and it looking warm. Then we stepped out and wanted to run back in and crank up the heat. Florida is not supposed to feel that cold especially in the daytime, it is not right I tell ya.

Yeah, we both get it. How can you have a pool outside your door, the sun blasting down on the concrete all around the lounge chairs, of course it's hot out there. I've talked to the Florida Tourism Chapter but they insist there's nothing they can do. I will be living there the next time you see me in Disney during the winter months, no way I'm gonna ruin an expensive trip down again to freeze.

(Hi Smidgy)

Hi Kim, I know a lot of people think I overdo the cold thing down here, I'm going to go more into that in the next chapter.

Okay, enquiring minds gotta know. Did that really happen? Wouldn't surprise me, just...



All righty now, here is whatchacall yer God'sDurnTruth, the real deal, the 100 precent bonafide skinny on that day in the speech therapists classroom, swear on a stack of bibles, Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a nee............"HEY! You set me up for that!"

Really, it's all true, as far as I can remember. '
They couldn't figure out why I could say some words with S's but not others. When the nickel dropped in for the therapist, she hastilly scrawled a note and sent me back to my main classroom, I was in 4th grade I believe.
I left the other "S" girl sitting there, (She sells sea shells by the seashore), and left the two kids with "R" hangups still sitting there, (Richard gave Robert a rap in the ribs for roasting the rabbit so rare).

I remember walking into the room in the middle of a story reading and ;you could hear a pin drop.
Then: "Hey, Thteve's back!"

Ah, class mates. The only good classmate is a dead classmate.
I handed the note to my teacher and said, "Why didn't you tell me my name was Steve?"

A couple of fistfights later in the next two weeks, "Thteve "was officially pronounced dead.


I asked my DW. She says it's okay. So go right ahead. Whatever floats your boat, ya know? .... Not that there's anything wrong with that....

Hands over my ears,,,,,La la la,,,,,Mary had a little lamb


Whoops! nevermind

 

[Thumper_Man]

Yeah, I remember asking you that. So what poor, defenseless, cute little God's critter did you blow it's head off?

Around here, they have rules that you can't shoot anything without horns. So wouldn't you know it, didn't see anything with horns the whole time I was there. I saw plenty without horns, but then again; I wouldn't want to lose everything I own for breaking the law. So no defenseless critters were harmed in the posting of this post.

Finally got all caught up again. I cringed reading the part at the eye dr. I hate needles as well. So how's the eye doing? I'm guessing better since you're keeping up with the TR.

I bet Smidgy purposely finished the race last to kill some time; waiting for the grill to open.

I'm routing for the Bears as well. Brian Urlacher is from New Mexico. Would like to see him win at least one Super Bowl.

 

[Thumper_Man's Wife]

I've caught up on the posts, and its only the middle of the month, I'm proud of myself. Can't say that my desk looks any better, however, filling in for someone else who is on vacation at the moment and I've got to say that his desk looks better than its ever looked...Now if only someone would do that for my desk if i took some time off....

Anyway, goosepimples are fashionable. i hear they are making a come back.

I'm keeping happy thoughts about your eye, although personally I don't think any good can come out of someone sticking a needle into it. But then again, I'm not a doctor, and it's a good thing since I don't like needles, or blood, or doctors for that matter.

I'm going to crawl back under my paper pile now before I start rambling...
