[jluvsdis]

Great post Nebo, LMAO

Told John he had to read it, but couldn't refrain from reading it to him, just too funny!

Lovin it, keep 'em comming.

 

[DisneyJo]

On arrival inside of the motel lounge, I immediately knew why they call it a "Continental Breakfast."

There were two hispanics, an Asian, and a guy that looked Pakistani already in there. And I'm not counting the hillbilly
Hey, we're an equal opportunity offender.
But not a donut or bagel in sight.

OMG

Wanna guess what's coming up?

You got it!

"Hi again." "Went to the ol Mickeyds', huh?"

By now I'm thinking we are his sole entertainment in life.
"Nope,went to Microsoft, just had dinner with Bill Gates and he let us take home the leftovers."

Just think how boring your day would have been with out him

SHE RIPPED IT OFF THE TOP OF THE DRESSER!

Wow Solved the problem though

 

[Piglets Mommy]

Thanks for a great update, Nebo! It was awesome as usual!

Way to go with ripping that microwave right off hte dreser, Diane!

 

[McDisney]

To anyone out there that loves me, or at least likes me just a little, I need help.

You have no idea the torture I just endured. After 3 hours of writing this last chapter, when I hit submit reply, that little blue line that slowly fills up stopped filling up. This was followed by "this page cannot be displayed". THis has happened to me before, so now I always copy it first just in case. But this time it also kicked me off of AOL, and froze up the entire puter. So I knew the copying was deleted. Luckily, this time it went through, or I'd have a smashed computer and monitor right now.

my question is this.
If when I'm done writing, and I send it to myself in an email, which I know I can do, what will it look like when I paste it into a trip report when I boot up again? I'm not sure if the margins will all be messed up, and if the pictures will then go through, no what I mean, Jean? Has anybody tried it this way? No, I don't have "Word", I've never used it. I just sit here and type, then hit submit. So, any thought on posting a chapter from an email, just in case? Thanks, neebs

Yea, what Colleen said.... not sure I'd even try to email it to myself, should just be able to save it to your computer ("save as") before you try to post it.

p.s. - remind me to not anger Smidgy, I've seen my wife move logs around but I really don't think she'd have it in here to rip off something that was bolted down! But I guess that's why I usually just say "yes ma'am" and move on

Go Diane!

 

[snowbell]

Great installment. That is awesome about the microwave. That is something I would do... But I would defintely break something. lol
That worker was a weirdo...

 

[whogirl'smom]

Ok, this installment was priceless! I'll even forgive the hillbilly reference since the rest was so funny!

Aren't the Bathroom Readers great? My DH got one for Christmas from my aunt, and I keep it in the car to read while waiting for little whogirl to get out of school. Yesterday, one of my friends tapped on the window and said "whatcha readin'?". Now, how do you explain that? "It's so interesting reading about the Pilgrims that I didn't even see you standing there!"

Your stalker cracked me up, as did the microwave. We women can always find a way!

(And we'll compromise on the BC Powder--go ahead and mix it into your Sunny D bottle.) Thank you to Maraena and Rhonda for backing me up!

 

[Maraena]

Great installment! I was laughing about your stalker but then I started feeling really guilty. In my home state, we just call that friendliness. In fact, I've been guilty of asking such obvious questions just to get a conversation moving. I've also been guilty of striking up conversations solely on illegal immigration just to goad some of my more conservative family members into an argument. Yeah, I'm evil.

What I want to know is if Smidgy, after ripping the microwave off the bureau, did the whole muscle-man flexing thing. You know, where you bow your shoulders and flex your arm muscles and make some sort of manly grunt noise. Yeah, I can just picture that. Go Smidgy!

I'll just be the oddball here. I love, love hotels with free continental breakfasts and coffee makers in the room. I end up traveling a bit for conferences and I loathe the high-priced convention hotels that don't even have a coffee maker in the hotel room. (Seriously, I'm paying $150+ for a room and you can't give me a stinking coffee maker?! Yeah, that irks me.)

Anyhow, great installment! I had to read a bit of it to the DFi and he was laughing along with me.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Nebo, great story yet again!

SHE RIPPED IT OFF THE TOP OF THE DRESSER!

One question though (as a hotel employee I have to ask). Did you get billed for the damage done?

 

[monymony3471]

HUBBA! HUBBA!

Never give a woman too much whiskey!

Dem fightin' words!

 

[dismorgh]

Nebo, great update!! Thanks for posting. I still have my no drinking while reading your report rule going!

Here's the menu:

Fake cheerios, milk, coffee, frozen waffles, hard boiled eggs, bread and oatmeal. The closest thing to any kind of meat, was the dead cockroach in the corner. The only thing that came hot was the coffee, it was more of a, "You make it hot" continental breakfast.

Pretty typical for a "continental breakfast".

I had coffee, a waffle I stuck in the toaster, and bread I stuck in the toaster.

Yup, that's the "hot" part!

Anybody still there? Hello?

By the way, I'm the one in the middle.

Hmmm, thought you were the one on the right?!?! Guess I should've paid more attention to your previous reports.

turned on the radio, I couldn't understand a word they were saying.

Awww, Nebo, Nebo, Nebo. What are we going to do with you.

"Construction ahead 2 miles"

then

"Speed limit 50"

"Construction for the next 32 miles"

"Speed radar timed and enforced"

"SPEEDING FINES DOUBLED IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE"

it was the last one that got me to shut down the cruise though

"DID YOU EVER SEE, 'MACON COUNTY JAIL?"

A real threat. Impressive of them.

We turned into true believers of President Bush's policy of "No rest area left behind".

Our boys were this way when they were younger. Just saying.

Just don't like the helplessness feeling about being packed into an aluminum cookie dough tube with wings.

What a visual!

Then found out he was the pilot.

That's ok, I'm happy just to be here. To me this was just incredible, we knew coming down this time of year can be a bit dicey with the weather, and any pool time would be a plus. It was about 66 that day for a high, but as long as the sun was out, it felt great.

After she saw everything I said was true, she stood back and looked at it, then she solved the problem.

SHE RIPPED IT OFF THE TOP OF THE DRESSER!

WTG, Diane!!

 

[PrincessV]

And the Santa Fe is still the best vehicle I've ever driven down there in.
It's made in South Korea, and we bought it new in 03.

Hey, I've got an '03 Santa Fe, too! Looooove my car...

But this small SUV isn't happy unless it's totally packed, and crossing many state line borders.

Strange that a car made by a company headquartered in such a small country seems so stinkin' happy to make road trips, isn't it?

On the way to it, we passed the other one, and it looked really nice. So did that part of town, also, a real touristy look was everywhere.

I think I know where this is going...

But our motel was still a couple miles down the road, and this area wasn't quite as "spiffy".

Ye-ep.

After she saw everything I said was true, she stood back and looked at it, then she solved the problem.

SHE RIPPED IT OFF THE TOP OF THE DRESSER!

Leave it to the woman. Way to go Diane!

 

[GreatLakes5]

Hey - who's the stud with the spuds?

$35/night with bolted microwave....you didn't need to put quarters in the bed or anything did you? Can't wait to find out what kind of towel animals the cleaning staff leaves you guys!

 

[Tissa]

Nebo I'm reading your older trip reports first before I start on this one but, I wanted to say how much fun I have had reading the last few days. I have been laughing my head off, you guys are a riot! You are now my favorite writer.

OK back to Still Feeding Nebo, you just checked into CBR.

 

[nebo]

god, you sound just like my husband. whenever i "verify" what he tells me he always says, "what.....you don't trust me??????"

nope, that's why i vowed before all our family and all our friends and god and whoever else happened to be walking by the cecil b. day chapel in athens, georgia on april 13th, 2002 at 8:00 p.m. that i would spend the rest of my life.....with someone......i don't trust!

.

Punkin, that's a great line. I love you! For loving him I mean. Geesh.

Nebo you are too funny!!!

Harley, that's a great line, I love you!
"Um, Steve, you sure you want to do this after the manhattans?"
"Maybe you want to wait until tomorrow?"

"No honey, I'm ok, did I tell you I love you?"

WTG!!

Javamom, I'm not allowed to say I luv you, but I can say I like you! By the way, is WTG an acronym for way to go girl?

Hey, whaddaya want for $35 a night?

CJ'smom, I like you a real lot. And yes, this was exactly what I expected for 35 a night.

I'm getting to the point that I think that the free motel/hotel breakfasts aren't worth it any more. I would rather find a donut or bagel place and get something instead of the "free breakfast".

You got that right! Honestly, all I want is a cup of coffee before I hit the road. Anything more than that, and you're asking for it. Hang on, gotta refill.

A regular UN delegate meeting huh?

Was it was of those creepy laughs?

You go girl!

Mo, I know I just butchered up your great post, but when the rest doesn't come through, what can I do?
And yes, he not only had the creepy laugh, but the really side smirk/smile to go with it. As far as the "you go girl", part of it goes with her ripping the microwave off the counter, I guess I was a fool, (imagine that), to be explained next chapter.

 

[nebo]

Ok, I just saw that one of my favorite people just posted, and it reminded me.
Tonight is the night that our very own beloved Philadisney becomes famous, she is profiled on the tv show, "WHat not to Wear." From what I know, it's on The Learning Channel at nine tonight, what I'm not sure of is whether it's nine eastern or nine central. So tune in early. I give her a lot of credit for letting us all know this, so please, hold all the snide remarks until after we see her.

Then? We get her!

No, really, for me, this counts as a famous person that I almost know. And a nice one at that. So be nice.

Nebo, if you are using a Windows machine you should have either Notepad or Wordpad (or both).

You can type your stuff in there and save it to your hard drive before you paste it into the DIS. I usually paste the image links in and all.

As for the formatting thing, I am not sure if it will transfer over using notepad or wordpad. Sorry, I do use Word when I do this. Experiment with this and try it, see what works.

Thanks Javamom, to be honest, I'm not even sure I have notepad or notebook here anymore. This lousy confuser turns ten next month, and a lot of things have come and gone in the hard drive. This thing is like the old car that has 175000 miles on it. I just can't turn "Old Betsy" out to pasture!

wow i can't even pick a segment to quote from this last installment because it was all HILARIOUS "No rest area left behind"....dining with Bill Gates...Pontius, the Pilot...
I love that Smidgy ripped the microwave up...that is awesome.
Nebo, I have to go to the DMV on Saturday - want to come? I bet you could even make that interesting

My dear, trust me on this. People that have to go to the DMV do so not for entertainment, but because there is a reason they have to be there.
And I was just there last month. Celebrated my birthday there as a matter of fact. You know, to get my license renewed.
By the time I left, there was nobody that wanted to be near me, not even for entertainment, but , ,,,, I did get my license!

 

[Tinkabella]

Hi Nebo,
Another Disappearing Peep. I see Wendy, Melinda and Dawn have already checked in !
I LOVED "still feeding Nebo" and was delighted to see this latest trippy.

Smidgy sounds like my kinda gal...takes care of business. I Hate when hotels nail stuff down. I have pried off numerous TV controllers from hotel night stands in the past... but a microwave...impressive !

Have you tried Tylenol with codeine ? Up here in Canada we sell it over the counter and many of my American friends get me to bring them a few bottles when I head south. Hey...its no vike...but it may help.

I can't wait to read more.

Kim

 

[javamom]

Javamom, I'm not allowed to say I luv you, but I can say I like you! By the way, is WTG an acronym for way to go girl?

You betcha... although technically that would be WTGG! But what's a G between friends?

Thanks Javamom, to be honest, I'm not even sure I have notepad or notebook here anymore. This lousy confuser turns ten next month, and a lot of things have come and gone in the hard drive. This thing is like the old car that has 175000 miles on it. I just can't turn "Old Betsy" out to pasture!

In that case, go with the email plan and work the bugs outta that system.

Hmmmm, now I am wondering if my desktop in the bedroom is nearly that old??
I usually DIS on my laptop, in the recliner. That way I can DIS, drink a beverage, watch TV all at the same time. What can I say, it's a new Millennium? Thou shalt multi-task!

Pardon me while I answer my cell phone and answer this IM as well... need to refresh this drink too. Maybe I should install a mini-fridge (bolted to the floor of course) next to the recliner, then I could stay here all evening (less bathroom breaks)?

 

[HaleyB]

Wait.
It is only Jan 11th.
How can I be this far behind again? Already?

I will try to catch up.
We were there a bit later in December for our first ever WDW at ChristmasmyGodwheredidallthesepeoplecomefrom trip.
Imagine that.
