GUESS WHO'S COMING TO FREE DINNER, or, Feeding Nebo,,,,completed

[Kay7979]

This was a very funny episode. Since the worker never said a word to you, I wonder if he was deaf and couldn't hear how loud and annoying the generator was! And that would also explain how he could be dumb enough to come back outside and try working again with the machine shut off! In any case, he must have flunked Customer Service school two or three times. I'm surprised you didn't get up, trip over his hose, and "accidentially" knock him into the pool, or at very least grab the hose and pressure wash his uniform for him.

AH - Nebo you did me proud, hey I even got a props out of that one!! Thanks for thinkin of me, no offense taken, some folks just dont get the same adrenaline rush as those of us who like it loud, pipes that is...

I especially loved the bus ride gentlemans gesture you made, how very humble and considerate you are...

Between you and Kay I laugh to hard to be able post a coherant sentence..thanks for the laughs!

 

[harleygirl]

Seriously, I can hook you up with a Dr that can fix that little back problem you have there...my DH had surgery oh bout 7 yrs ago...and went from 2 yrs of mr hunchback slump, gotta put zippers in his work boots cause he cant reach them to tie them, to coach dad with windmill arms jumping up and down as his players round the bases, doing whatever else he wants to do with his new spring chicken self (ok so that parts a lie)

I was talking about my back at the time. I thought the C word was obvious.
But after Diane used me to wipe up the kitchen floor, with me as the mop, I was informed that you never, ever, make any references to the # word.
Ok, I'm sorry. For the record, the # word was "chiropractor."
Night all

 

[tiggerbell]

"chiropracter". Oh. Yeah. I didn't get it.

Riverview... wow. Rhonda, I don't remember it, you wanna help the man out here???
I have one, just one, very hazy memory of Old Chicago.

 

[RHONDALEE]

Riverview - wow - Mom took us once. It was the longest d**n bus ride down Western Ave from Archer Ave on the south side to Belmont on the north side. (wouldn't take half as long now with the expressway and owning a car). That's really all I remember about it.

Nebo, for no reason I can explain, I just checked to see what day you started writing your trip report. November 6th. By some strange cosmic coincidence, that happens to be the same day I started mine. I wonder who will finish their epic first? Maybe me, due to your back injury. Smidgy has come over to the dark side and is reading mine. You treat her nice, now. She's been awfully good to you for all the you subject her to!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I found Kay's report...sorry, story. due to your back~

I check here and there, every day now.

I am only on day 2, tho~

You are a great writer Kay.

Nebo taught you well

 

[smidgy]

aha!!! I caught you! Just cause kay happens to be ALMOST as funny as nebo and he is laid up- you deserters! (um, ok, me too but shhhh) he is trying REAL hard to be funny and cherry (no, not cherry cheery, cherry is that marischino thing he does NOT want in his manhattan, just a little of the cherry juice) ok, I give up .. I can't remember how to spell cheery .. or cherry or.. chim chim cheree chim cherre chim cheroo.. hey, i just got off work! lexmelinda!!! help me here! tee hee!
ok, I take that back.. don't ever let nebo know I didn't know how to spell something... we've been married almost 30 years, (ok, give or take a few 4 years, but who's counting?) but he still thinks I'm almost perfect and i'd like to keep it that way.
my beloved nebo did download (upload?) a bunch of pics of us at that evil place down the road and will post them really soon.
in the interim... you all know me as "she who must not be disturbed"!!!!!!!
for those of you who haven't read (in completed trip reports) if this is tues this must be epcot.:
nebo awakens at 4:15 AM (an ungodly hour) I clean houses during the day and tend bar 3 nights a week. anything before 10 AM and I am NOT responsible for any "exorcist" remarks that come out of my mouth. when nebo "sleeps in" on weekends, that means 6 AM.
now nebo is a SNORER. normally, I will do anything I can to STOP the snoring. a jab here, a nudge there, a rollover. once I took my life in my hands and put my fingers over his nose.... that was many years ago.. he almost suffocated and I almost died. ok, not a good plan!
but, with his injury, with him groaning in pain every few minutes, when he finally falls asleep, even if it's on his back, no WAY I'm touching him. so now HE is "HE who must not be disturbed"
hey! I'm not sure if I like this role reversal! I actually was at the gas station the other day getting him coffee and a newspaper. when I returned, I was expecting a wavy dream sequence and thought when I pulled into the driveway he would be in a lounge chair (by the pool) with a noisy generator, screaming children, uncle john's bathroom reader, silly grin on his face........ and all would be right with the world!
ahhhh! the worst days at Disney are better than the best days at home..

 

[smidgy]

ok, not that the good days at home aren't good, but you all know what I mean, you too honey, right? right? kiss kiss (girls, think he'll buy it?)

Aahhh, Diane! My husband is a snorer, too! The rollover usually works but to some degree I've learned to sleep through it. I have covered this mouth a few times hoping he would breath from his nose and he almost suffocated, too! Why do I think that is funny???

but, with his injury, with him groaning in pain every few minutes, when he finally falls asleep, even if it's on his back, no WAY I'm touching him. so now HE is "HE who must not be disturbed"

One word....hydrochodone. That's the only thing that worked for my husband. Good luck. Hope he feels better soon.

Somehow, I think the ability to be funny comes naturally to Nebo. You haven't gotten to the funnier parts of my report yet, and as I have mentioned, I'm funnier by third draft. The cool thing about Nebo is he is live, first draft, when he writes. No word processing for Nebo and the "Aptiva." I have mentioned him in my report and how I love his writing, and how reading his stuff actually brings out the zaniest part of my own sense of humor.

Okay, I think you are rivaling Nebo for funny with this one.

actually was at the gas station the other day getting him coffee and a newspaper. when I returned, I was expecting a wavy dream sequence and thought when I pulled into the driveway he would be in a lounge chair (by the pool) with a noisy generator, screaming children, uncle john's bathroom reader, silly grin on his face........ and all would be right with the world!

That did it! You ARE as funny as Nebo. I'm not laughing at your desire to have your problems go away, but the wavy dream sequence and the generator and the rest of it are cracking me up. You guys make a great couple. BTW, I discovered the other day that there is such a thing as Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. I always thought that was something he made up!

 

[smidgy]

the wavy dream sequence is ALL nebo's! (just to clarify - wouldn't want to be accused of plagerism here!)

 

[monymony3471]

If my DEAR HUSBAND blamed me for that, this is what I'd do.

While he was asleep, I'd arrange for that generator to be brought into the room and turn it on in the middle of the night. Then I'd roll over and go right back to sleep.

That might even put that disk right back into place or the siatic.

Hugs!

 

[Wyndale]

Bravo, Bravi, Bravu, I'm tuckered out!

I got started on last May's report, and just got up to date on this one! I've not gotten any work done in the past two days!

A wonderful TR, by a very funny guy!

What am I going to do when you're done?????

Thanks for the great read!

 

[nebo]

a couple thots.
Ok, wow! Did that all come from my wife? Hmm, what is she taking that she's not sharing, I mean telling me about? And just for the record,,,,,,,,, SHE SNORES TOO!!!

It just doesn't bother me, I just figure it's just another truck driving by, or somebody is cleaning out there sumpump, or China finally got fed up and launched there missiles, in which case who's going to sweat the snoring, then?

Tiggerwannabe: I just recently noticed under your name, "Optimistic Realist." I like that. I used to say that about myself. I forgot that line. And we are 220 miles further than you from Orlando.

Wyndale, glad you like, we'll be here for a while yet.

Melinda, my pal, with the one word answer to all my problems,,,, Hydrocodone.
And my one word response.... Gotany?

Yes, the back ate up my monthly allottment way too soon.

And K? You have been a great contributor to this nonsense. I told Diane she outta start reading yours. You know, so she doesn't get hurt. I got a kick out of yours in the very beginning , about how it needs to be a "story", to make it interesting. I got the impression that you had tried once before, and it didn't work to your satisfaction. I found out when I started that guys, older guys, and without kids, didn't really work out so well either. If it wasn't for Jaime, you probably wouldn't be reading this.

When I can only sit here so long, man, how I wish that I could have all the trip reports in a paperback form. To take with me to bed, and read without being hunched over a little monitor.
Of course Utah Mama's would have to come out in a nine volume set!
We actually have little stacks of printer paper containting pieces of peoples trip reports, all over the house. It's pathetic.

But it was so cold today in the shop, all by myself, and I just spent the entire day, reliving every Disney resort pool that I spent time at.
Ok, I'm pathetic.

And finally, I promised some picturesl,,,, This is funny, you guys want to see some pictures,,, and we usually have to tie down our friends and family to look at them. oh well


Diane in our favorite smoking spot behind the castle.

did it work? did i do good?

Here's a Nebo, in front of the Dolphin.

And now it's going to get ugly.

You know thing 2 and thing 1,,,, well meet thing 3.

Just Diane in the Dr.s land, I just love this area, it is so pretty and colorfull.

And finally. The only guy that seems to be able to appreciate my sense of humor.
I said guy, kay doesn't count.

There you have it. Let the quasimodo and the other shots, (hopefully, not Marge) begin.

Goodnight all, going to go and slam my hand in the door to take my mind off my back.

 

[Disneygrl36]

Nebo, I have never been to the park that shall not be named.....but that Dr Seuss land looks really cute.

Oh your poor back......don't slam too hard or you won't be able to type.

 

[Kay7979]

Great pictures, Nebo and Diane!

Diane, as I said before, don't cut your hair! It looks great! Of course my opinion is slightly colored by the fact that I have long hair and bangs just like yours, only light brown. Don't let Nebo get away with those slanderous lies about you snoring! I'm sure none of that is true.

Nebo, you don't look like you're in pain in your photos, so those must be PPP photos: (post pain pill).

I would tell you how to cut and paste a gazillion trip report segments into one document for easier reading, but you'd only tell me your "Aptiva" is incapable of such a sophisticated function.

And K? You have been a great contributor to this nonsense. I told Diane she outta start reading yours. You know, so she doesn't get hurt. I got a kick out of yours in the very beginning , about how it needs to be a "story", to make it interesting. I got the impression that you had tried once before, and it didn't work to your satisfaction. I found out when I started that guys, older guys, and without kids, didn't really work out so well either. If it wasn't for Jaime, you probably wouldn't be reading this.

Hmm, I don't get what you mean by "so she doesn't get hurt." I think it's true that male trip report writers are vastly outnumbered, but Zzub is one of the best. Yes, he's somewhat younger and has a child, but he still has beat the odds. Then there's DISUNC who takes his nephew to WDW, and he also has a loyal following. And now you are joining the group of nearly-as-rare-as-the-extinct-Dodo-Bird men who are popular writers here. So, thanks Jaime for keeping Nebo going so he didn't give up before he was "discovered."

While you're recovering, you could actually try writing your reports on paper. Maybe if you don't make anymore "snoring cracks" Diane would type it when you finish.

 

[harleygirl]

Great Pics Nebo and Smidgy!!

 

[UtahMama]

Nebo and Diane- I am really loving getting to know you guys!!!! AND, you briefly mentioned me in passing! I'm honored!!!!

You crack me up! It's like a mini-Celebration at our house everytime you update!!!! Well, it's more of a Celebration in my kitchen, in my computer chair, in my own head...but it's a hoop de doo, for sure.

Now everyone's going to share how their spouses snore, I predict, so I'll jump on that band wagon. I've been married 10 years and I can NOT get used to DH's snoring. I figure I have 13 minutes to fall asleep before he does or I'm doomed. I know better than to plug his nose (for fear of his wrath) but do stare a hole through his head and plot his unfortunate death by feather pillow!!!! I have to have a white noise machine softly drowning out his snoring. I figure I lose at least an hour's sleep every night. I'm getting pissy.


Thanks for listening to me, how mush do I owe you for this therapy session?
