Just a silly little TR - Run Away!!

[Backstage_Gal]

Well....

For those of you who might be wondering...

The party was a HUGE success... all thanks to Ruby and Elle who did 99% of the work.

There won't be a chapter tonight after all... because with all this talk of stomach virus... guess who was up all night becoming intimately acquainted with a certain porcelain household fixture.

Well, the Disboards ARE infectious to some of us. Congrats to Ruby and Elle for pulling off a great party. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

 

[queenbetsey]

Been away too long! first off thanks for all the compliments about shawndell's artwork. you can look her up by name, shawndell pickard. she is on the street painting pages of the link.
Ponzi your daughter is the best! can't wait to hear if you get to do your hike on diamond head.
love the snorkeling pics. Now THAT'S turlte talk!
Disneyland was great btw. But I think we are going to avoid it for a while with summer school in session, just cannot get there early enough to even have a chance to see carsland. (who am I kidding we will go before our passes block out for the summer to just see the place)And we even found another place to have the kids wedding so busy couple of weeks but we got alot done. and now I am caught up here now I have to head over to nebo's tr.

Gee! Thanks guys! I'm a little verklempt, now!

And Happy Father's Day to all the other Dads out there!!

 

[Sandy Mouse]

Real quick post to let ya'll (I feel so southern when I say that) know that I haven't fallen off the Earth.

Sorry Ponzi, but you cannot use "ya'll." You're not entitled to it; it is trade marked and registered to true southerners. Sitting up there in Canadia, you're just not one of them.

Now, I am entitled it use it. I live in the great southern state of Louisiana, and before that, I lived in southern Montana.

Hope y'all feel better soon, bless y'r heart.

Gee! Thanks guys! I'm a little verklempt, now!

May I use it? I live in SOUTHERN oregon

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Happy Father's Day to all you dads! Hope it was a great day!

 

[Sandy Mouse]

May I use it? I live in SOUTHERN oregon

There are rules, you know. Are you willing to cultivate the accent? And when you say something derogatory or gossipy about someone, you must end the statement with "Bless his/her heart." (the latter is not so much a Louisiana thing... more in the Carolinas, but I'm trying to promote it here in the Gulf South. It's so snooty and fun.)

Now, raise your right hand and repeat after me. Ah, insert your name here, being of southern mind, do swea - ah to drawl my way through e-vah-ry word of e-vah-ry sentence for as looonnnnggg as Ah shall live, or until Ah am not feeling as southern as Ah am today.

 

[Thumper_Man's Wife]

Holy cow I am waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy behind... Darn work got in the way. What are people thinking, going on vacations and what not and leaving me in charge?! Don't they know I have TR's to read and smiley faces to find?! Geesh.

OK...Now that my rant is over, I'm off to catch up....

 

[pkondz]

Okay, quick! I've got a couple of minutes to spare for some shout outs!

Pkondz, now it's your turn for the Buzz babblings that relate to you. I'm going to warn you that the main "happening" that made me think of you isn't as out loud funny as the Nebo one, it's more of a . I think I can explain why it made me think of you though so here goes.

Got it. You equate me with headaches. Check. Please continue...

I thought of you every single time we were at the WL dock waiting on the boat to MK. Yes, without fail, when we were waiting in line I would find myself gazing out at the water, thinking how would I make certain I didn't ingest a brain eating amoeba if, heaven forbid, the kids fell in or I fell in.

My advice? If they fall in... just let 'em go.

I remember joking to DH that it would be my luck to survive a fiery boat explosion only to perish later from a brain eating amoeba. So thanks for those thoughts Pkondz, they were well planted.

So glad I could be of help...

I thought of you when the kids and I went shopping in the Canadian pavilion in WS. DD really wanted a Christmas ornament with a large moose on it saying "Merry Christmas, eh" but I wanted to wait to buy it until later in the trip. Sadly, when we went back, they had replaced the ornaments with hats. I wanted a Wunderbar badly and completely forgot to get it the 2nd time through.

I haven't had a Wunderbar in years. Do they even still make 'em??

I thought of you when we drove to AKL to look around and went inside "The Mara" and saw zebra domes. Oh yes, I was trying to work out in my head the possibility of bartering zebra domes for Wunderbars.

You saw... you... saw... you... you... saw... them!

"Oh Stacy, you are so unpatient waiting in lines!"...He caught on and everyone, including four year old DD, began using the word "unpatient" throughout the trip anytime we were joking around!

I thought of you immediately upon hearing the word because you are a great wordsmith and I knew you would appreciate my reaction.

That's pretty funny. And of course you would think of me as a great wordsmith. 'cause I use words good.

Please note that Elle, Kay, I pray to goodness my own children, and many other children/young adults of today are well developing examples of a bright wordy word future, but sadly there are others that are a little less bright.....

I must admit, that in this age of texting and tweeting, I've seen some very dim examples of young shining lights.

No worries! I'd love to see you over there, but I understand!

Some day... some day.

Good luck with the party! You are a brave soul Pkondz!

Try to keep the unpatience at bay!

Actually, the party went really well. All thanks to Ruby and Elle. None to me. I was just eye candy.

am getting very unpatient.

Take your time General Pkondz.

Ugh! I know! I'm catching up as quick as I can! Darn stomach virus/food poisoning/whatever the heck it was...

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

Pecans,
I'm back in the game... or report as it were. Sorry you were sick on Father's Day... that's not fun. I went snorkeling on my vacation as well and took an underwater camera with me... can't wait to get it developed. Didn't see anything cool like a sea turtle, but I saw a sting ray napping in the sand... and a handful of fish I didn't recognize.
Can't wait for the next chapter!

 

[Thumper_Man's Wife]

Finally caught up...You can see how productive I'm being today at work...

Just have to comment on a few things...

Let me now introduce you to Witchin’ Betty… except her name wasn’t Witchin’ Betty.

It wasn’t Baby Betty…
Or Blue Betty…
Or Bingo Betty…
Or Bratty Betty…
Or … you get the idea.

Betty was our brand spanking new GPS. Betty could be very helpful sometimes… and other times…

Like this time.

I wanted to go back down on the road we came up on and continue West to Honolulu. But Bit… Betty insisted that I go down a different road.
“You sure?”
“Yes I’m sure. Don’t question me. I have millions of dollars in satellites telling me. You on the other hand are merely human… and really... not that bright.”

I couldn’t argue with that logic. So I took the other road. We of course came out right back on the Highway that we were on earlier… going East.


Ummm.. weren’t we going West before?


Betty’s got it all figured out.

We continued East for about 10 minutes until we came to a T intersection. We then turned left onto another highway. Ha! Look at those poor suckers heading in the opposite direction! Sucks to be in that traffic jam!

Betty then takes us into a residential neighbourhood and we weave through backlanes and sidestreets only to emerge back onto the highway… and into the traffic jam.

Eventually we get back onto the original highway and half an hour after visiting it… we see the turnoff for… Pali Lookout.

“Hey kids! There’s the Pali Lookout! Anyone want to go?”

Chorus of boos from the back seat.

Geez, it was just a thought.

[/b][/color]
Ours is named "Bossy". Nuff said on that. Well maybe not...

Have you ever noticed how her voice seems to get more strident each time she says "recalculating"? recalculating, REcalculating, reCALculating, RE.CAL.CU.LATING. I'm still waiting for her to say "Oh why do you even bother to switch me on if you are not going to follow my directions?"

If you want to have some real fun, switch the language to Mandarin. Had the kids in stitches one day when I did that without them noticing. We finally settled on the Australian female accent. Somehow doesn't seem quite so bad when she mangles the pronunciation of all the French street names around here. I've even started calling on-ramps "slip roads" like her.

I just had to squeeze into this convo, even though it's probably from a long time ago and dead in the water...The first trip we took to WDW, we took along a friends TomTom GPS...One of the first times we used it, we plugged in SeaWorld and asked it nicely to take us around the toll booths, so naturally it took us straight through the toll booths, and then we had to make a U turn and go through the toll booth again because it remembered we didn't want to go through them.

We finally get to SeaWorld, and somehow, TomTom has diverted us around to a secret back entrance only used for employees or something, we had to turn the darn thing off and find our way back to the actual entrance and parking area on our own. From that point on, TomTom was referred to as DoDo (Or for me and those who speak spanish, Tonto).

from Pkondz....There was a SNL skit with Steven Seagal (who was arguably the worst SNL host ever) where a boy comes to pick up his daughter and every time she was out of the room he'd say something like:"See this tattoo? You get that for being in the elite killing squad in the military." "I once killed a man with my bare hands." etc...

I think I'm going to try and be like that.
______________________________________

Pulling a Smidgy here....

so DD who is now 22 tells me that EVERY one of her boyfriends was always afraid of me. I have to tell you that I NEVER did anything (nothing like above or baseball bats by the door etc.) to give them cause to be afraid and yet they were more afraid of me and what I would do if they were mean to DD. Makes me wonder what the %@#*#$*#$ she told them when I wasn't around LOL.

The moment I read this, I thought of the country song "Cleaning this gun" by Rodney Adkins, I've told T-man would be his song if we ever had a girl, and now can totally see you in this roll after reading about your family. The lyrics are below.


The Declaration of Independence
Think I could tell you that first sentence
But then I’m lost

I can't begin to count the theories
I've had pounded in my head
That I forgot

I don't remember all that Spanish
Or the Gettysburg address
But there is one speech from high school
I'll never forget

(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That’s what she'll get
Ain’t it son?
Hey y'all run along and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Bet I’ll be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun

Well now that I’m a father
I’m scared to death one day my daughter
Is gonna find
That teenage boy I used to be
That seems to have just one thing on his mind

She’s growin' up so fast
It won't be long before
I’ll have to put the fear of god into
Some kid at the door

(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That’s what she'll get
Now ain't it son?
Y’all go out and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun

Now it's all for show
Ain’t nobody gonna get hurt
It’s just a daddy thing
And hey, believe me, man it works

(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That’s what she'll get
Now ain't it son?
Y’all run along and have a little fun
I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun

Son, now y'all buckle up and have her back by te- let's say about nine...thirty.
Drive safe.

Ok..after T-man saw my post, I was corrected on the park DoDo took us to. Evidently it was Universal Studios not SeaWorld. This is why I haven't done a TR and am skeptical about doing one, since I seem to remember things way off the mark from the way they really happened, sometimes not remembering things at all...

One of these days, you will remember the bus ride. When we go in December, we'll take the exact same bus ride again and see if that helps you remember.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Welcome back to Mr. and Mrs. T

 

[pkondz]

Well, the Disboards ARE infectious to some of us. Congrats to Ruby and Elle for pulling off a great party. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Feelin' better now... trying to catch up everywhere... then get a new chapter up.

Been away too long!

Yes! But welcome back!

first off thanks for all the compliments about shawndell's artwork. you can look her up by name, shawndell pickard. she is on the street painting pages of the link.

You're welcome... any other places we could see her work?

Ponzi your daughter is the best! can't wait to hear if you get to do your hike on diamond head.

She is... she really is.

love the snorkeling pics. Now THAT'S turlte talk!

I would've been crushed if I'd missed it.

Disneyland was great btw. But I think we are going to avoid it for a while with summer school in session, just cannot get there early enough to even have a chance to see carsland. (who am I kidding we will go before our passes block out for the summer to just see the place)

Glad you had a good time.

And we even found another place to have the kids wedding so busy couple of weeks but we got alot done. and now I am caught up here now I have to head over to nebo's tr.

Oh, that's good. When is the wedding?

Sorry Ponzi, but you cannot use "ya'll." You're not entitled to it; it is trade marked and registered to true southerners. Sitting up there in Canadia, you're just not one of them.

I laughed and Ruby said, "What?" I told her and then she said, "Well, we live in southern Manitoba... doesn't that count?"

Now, I am entitled it use it. I live in the great southern state of Louisiana, and before that, I lived in southern Montana.

Got a chuckle out of that. Southern Montana is farther north then southern Canada.

Hope y'all feel better soon, bless y'r heart.

I am, thanks... and that, ladies and germs, marks the first time anyone's said 'bless y'r heart' to me.


cool.

happy father's day daddy!!!!!!

Thanks, honey!

Happy Father's Day to all you dads! Hope it was a great day!

It was! And thanks!

There are rules, you know. Are you willing to cultivate the accent? And when you say something derogatory or gossipy about someone, you must end the statement with "Bless his/her heart."

Wait. So when you said, "Hope y'all feel better soon, bless y'r heart." were you being gossipy or derogatory?

Now, raise your right hand and repeat after me. Ah, insert your name here, being of southern mind, do swea - ah to drawl my way through e-vah-ry word of e-vah-ry sentence for as looonnnnggg as Ah shall live, or until Ah am not feeling as southern as Ah am today.

Done! Now ahs fixin to git goin' on the next chaptah, ma'am. Bless y'r heart.

Holy cow I am waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy behind... Darn work got in the way. What are people thinking, going on vacations and what not and leaving me in charge?! Don't they know I have TR's to read and smiley faces to find?! Geesh.

The nerve of some people! Welcome back!

Pecans,
I'm back in the game... or report as it were.

Nice to see you again, princess.

Sorry you were sick on Father's Day... that's not fun.

It was the Saturday that was bad. Father's day, while I couldn't eat too much, I was feeling pretty good.

I went snorkeling on my vacation as well and took an underwater camera with me... can't wait to get it developed. Didn't see anything cool like a sea turtle, but I saw a sting ray napping in the sand... and a handful of fish I didn't recognize.

That's cool! Share the pics when you get 'em.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

As soon as I can.

Finally caught up...You can see how productive I'm being today at work...

Work is an excuse to get caught up with TRs. Didn't you know?

The first trip we took to WDW, we took along a friends TomTom GPS...One of the first times we used it, we plugged in SeaWorld and asked it nicely to take us around the toll booths, so naturally it took us straight through the toll booths, and then we had to make a U turn and go through the toll booth again because it remembered we didn't want to go through them.

Ouch! That musta cost ya. In time, money and aggravation!

From that point on, TomTom was referred to as DoDo (Or for me and those who speak spanish, Tonto).



The moment I read this, I thought of the country song "Cleaning this gun" by Rodney Adkins, I've told T-man would be his song if we ever had a girl, and now can totally see you in this roll after reading about your family. The lyrics are below.

Thanks for that Mrs. T. I'm going to have to see if I can find the song on youtube. I don't have a gun, so I'm going to have to think of something else...

Ok..after T-man saw my post, I was corrected on the park DoDo took us to. Evidently it was Universal Studios not SeaWorld.

Did he call you a DoDo?

Just wonderin'...

This is why I haven't done a TR and am skeptical about doing one, since I seem to remember things way off the mark from the way they really happened, sometimes not remembering things at all...

Oh, that would make a good TR. Just make it all up, it could be the greatest TR ever!

One of these days, you will remember the bus ride. When we go in December, we'll take the exact same bus ride again and see if that helps you remember.

Bus ride? Sounds like a story that needs to be told.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Welcome back to Mr. and Mrs. T

I never left. Just haven't has as much time to respond. Can you believe they actually expect you to do work at work? Who knew? Busiest time of the year for me. Hopefully I'll be able to post more soon in the next couple of weeks. I have been keeping up. Ponzi got eaten by the sharks finally. Elle and Kay had to climb Everest. See, I know what's going on.

Glad to see someone's paying attention.
