"Having a GRAND time - The Official GF Chat Thread"

[Cinderumbrella]

Kristin...how about a late night Thursday flight?? Sometimes it's so worth it to leave a tiny bit earlier. I hear you on the DH 1/2 work thing, though...I am married to a workaholic.

NEVER!!! He is trying to only take off 5 days for the trip, thus why we were leaving on Saturday. The Friday night thing came into play when the airfare difference was so drastic between Friday night and first thing Saturday morning (and even then he wants to stay at Pop on Friday!!!)

I am hoping to get the 30% bounceback for all 9 nights at the GF (thus picking up 1-2 extra days of DxDDP since we only have 7 days now thanks to my STUPID room only at the GF on Saturday because our pin didn't start until Sunday, KWIM) The price is the same for 9 nights at 30% as it is for 7 nights with 20%, 1 room only (full price) at the GF, and 1 night (full price) at Pop...

okay... this will be a fun question

WE ALL LOVE OUR HUBBIES WITH ALL OF OUR HEART BUT...

What little things does he do that tick you off? What little funny quirks do you find yourself growling at when he does them?

He is a procrastinator!!!! OHHHHHHH it ticks me off... we have upteen million projects around here HALF complete

He argues for the sake of arguing... if I say the sky is blue, he will say it is aqua

Off to get DS from preschool!! See ya!

OOHHH! I have to stay for this one. PROCRASTINATION is my husband's middle name. We just got in an argument last night because I hired a landscaper to put in our patio and bushes etc. He was going on about how he could have done that etc.... WHAT...in a million years???? He would never get it done. He constantly complains about not having enough time and how much he has to do but he never finishes anything! Makes me soo darn mad. (Brook-good topic..I am now ready for my walk!)

Thanks! Not to stay on the serious subject too long, but I just wanted to say that all churches have problems. And all figure heads, too! It's cause they're all filled with people! We're all imperfect and that's who the church is for. Jesus said "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." We all screw up, even the leaders of the church. They aren't immune to sin, they were just called to a different position than the rest of us. (not to excuse what they did) I hope you find where you belong...

Gosh, I don't want to come across as a downer on the thread! It just got all serious right before I came in!

YOU hit the nail on the head! In my opinion we put our ministers up on a pedestal way up high and then when they fall they fall far and hard! I have a dear dear friend that just had a member arrested for molesting a girl..... he is devastated b/c he feels like he let the church down by allowing someone to work with youth like that. What can you do when a background check comes back clean

Don't worry Brook likes to blame me for everything that goes wrong around here I did open the flood gates. Actually she opened them when she asked that innocent little question, so it's her fault!

OMG...where do I start. We have been together for 24 yrs so we can really grate on eachother's nerves....the latest thing that is really driving me batty is he BREATHES THRU A STUFFY NOSE.....it is so loud and annoying and I am waiting for him to drop due to lack of oxygen to the brain ...it doens't sound like he can get any air through.....

ANOTHER THING....He is totally addicted to his blackberry (crackberry)...he is constantly cuddling it....he can sit and be looking at ME and I think he is LISTENING to me & we are communicating, but he's playing solitare on the stupid thing.

ANOTHER thing....HE LOVES "Wild Wild West" (you know the oldie show with James West ).....that is all he has had on before bed lately and it gives me freakish dreams. I HATE that show.

OMG>...his car ...he inspects it for dings and he had a trunk full of store bought 'rags" to wipe it with...and any time before he goes anywhere or when he comes home he wipes it down. Geek.

NEVER!!! He is trying to only take off 5 days for the trip, thus why we were leaving on Saturday. The Friday night thing came into play when the airfare difference was so drastic between Friday night and first thing Saturday morning (and even then he wants to stay at Pop on Friday!!!)

Huh?? Well, I understand Thursday won't be an option.

Well...off for a walk (so I can fit into my french maid outfit) Then to the eye doctor's office YUCK!

I am with ya on the rooms Channing. I just went upstairs and it is a DISASTER!!! I do not even know where to start. My problem is that I never just have my kids. I also have everyone else's children and A LOT of kids in your house means one big MESS!!

have a good walk! It just gets so disgusting...I haven't been able to vacuum Jojo's room a long time....ick. Tatum loves her and thinks she's her "Baby" so she tries to feed her by leaving snacks of dry dog food and other dog cookies in Jo's room. She's gonna get mice. I need to be able to get in there w/a vacuum.

Just found this:

For Disney Visa cardholders, a special free private meet & greet is offered daily 1:30 - 4:30 pm at Epcot. Located in the Innoventions West building, just past the Where's The Fire? and Play It Safe exhibits is a curtained off area. Guests with card in hand may join the line for their own private meeting with 2 or 3 of the fab five. Not only will there be a Disney's PhotoPass photographer onhand to take as many photos as you wish, but each account (up to 2 accounts per family) is entitled to a free 5x7 print available later at the Camera Center. While each account is limited to one print a day, cardholders are free to visit multiple days of their vacation if they wish. Depending on the Cast Member at the Camera Center, many guests have reported to be able to receive a print of any Disney's PhotoPass photo instead of the Visa Meet & Greet photo, especially after expressing disinterest in the latter. This offer has been extended until at least 9/30/08

[Alicnwondrln]

[praline3001]

I am in a giggle fit if I ever had one
I'm in Pm's with Mandi about her and I getting the kids together..... well she pm'ed me this

I'm sure they can play around at the hotel and would love to watch Wishes from the Marina unless your room has a TP veiw!

HMMMMMM Mandy... I know you love the GF but to come just to stare at my TP?!?!?!
They do leave an extra roll so maybe I will have to frisk you before you leave

 

[SleepingUgly]

My husband can open things up, but hasn't quite figured out how to close them. Kitchen cabinets -- he will open to get a plate / glass. Door left open. Pantry -- he will open to get somethign. Door left open. Closet doors - he will will open to get his clothes. Door left open.

I asked him once if he also forgets to close the barndoor after doing his business in the bathroom. He didn't think that was so funny.

Channing -- I too, am addicted to my crackberry. It is so sad. Even when I am on vacation, I check it constantly for work. I need some therapy ...

This is a fun perk and has been going on for years. The line gets CRAZY long though...

My DH turns on the shower before he gets in and I swear it's FIVE minutes before he gets in. That's a lot of money going down the drain!!!!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

OK, so I got SOAKED going to get DS from school. The rain was coming down sideways so the umbrella was virtually useless I had to change my clothes when I got home.... and do you think it is raining right now?????????????????? NO!!!

 

[praline3001]

I am guilty of this one My master is on the complete opposite side of the house from the water heater and I SWEAR it takes at least 3 minutes to get hot water to our bathroom DS's bathroom is 2 floors up, but right above it and he gets water in NO time at all!
