We are in Bourbon County, but Hubby works in Georgetown. Too bad we are the only ones "skipping" school. Would have liked to see some of you!

Hey everyone!! We're from Johnson County, Ky, about 1 hour south of Ashland. I usually try to remain fairly quiet otherwise we may blend in with the others here in this part of the state. Anyways, a big howdy ya'll!

Greetings form Danville everyone.
Don't post much. but did just return 2 weeks ago from a 9 day trip.
The world is nice place to be. Even if it hot and rainy.

LOL!

It will be football and basketball season soon enough....

There's a football season in Lexington? Who would have thought it possible?

LOL!! That is hard to believe in the middle of Tubby country, huh?

Yes, I read the article in the "daily disappointment". Everyone knows what a Disney fan I am that they gave me their articles!

I live in Lexington , KY ...just off of Alumni drive...always get stuck in the football traffic so I KNOW that they are playing . It is just a nice warm up before basketball season. GO CATS!!! Our seats are second row behind the visitors bench in Rupp Arena.
I grew up in Shelbyville, Ky.

We have a daughter that plays soccer for Centre College so we hit Danville almost every week end during the fall.

Going to WDW on my birthday!!! July 20th. Can't wait to get the button.
Going to DL in September for the half marathon. Need to start training for that .

Much prettier day today than the storm last night. Shew.

So glad that there are other Disney fans in Lexington. I am an AP and DVC lover. Always take my tennis buddies in December but haven't made the ressies yet.

We will be going to DW 10/14-10/22. We weren't aware that it was fall break but are happy to join the masses. To the person who lives in Canewood - what part do you live in and have I had the opportunity to meet you? I would love to meet anyone in Lexington or Georgetown. Do we have enough people and any interest in having a disboard get together.

Good to hear from all y'all Kentucky folks. I used to live in Kentucky myself, but moved down to Florida upon retirement. (Taught 30 years in a Kentucky public high school.)

Still root for Tubby too.

Just another Ky Diser saying hi!!

HELP! I received a summons in the mail today............for jury duty in SEPTEMBER! If you take a gander at my ticker you'll notice that our vacation is scheduled for Sept. 23-30. Does anyone here locally have any experience with jury duty or my chances of having it postponed until later? Will the fact that our vacation will be paid in full before I have to appear in court Aug. 31st help my case? Thanks!

 

[nisiemouse]

Another hello from Lexington. I work at UK. Our next trip is a long weekend Oct 19-23 when the kids are out of school.
lexmelinda: Let us know what happens with jury duty. I would think they could at the very least move you to another month.

lexmelinda, I work at a law firm and I would think that you would be able to call the Circuit Clerk's office and explain to them that you are scheduled to be on vacation the last week of September and I am sure they would excuse you from jury duty that week. We will also be the the last week of September we are staying at CSR and going to MNSSHP on the 29th!! I hope you are able to get everything resolved.

 

[tennisnut]

Yes, I have been chosen for Jury Duty twice. I had to show my reservations aka flight tickets to prove that I had a trip planned.
I didn't get out of Jury Duty or Judy Duty ( as DS called it!) but they did move it to another month. I hear December is a good month as there are not many court cases that month.

I feel once you get picked ...you seem to get picked again and again....yuck.

The new court house is VERY nice .

I am hoping now that I have a nephew that is a policeman my chances of getting chosen to stay will be less.

Good luck. $12.00 does not go far at all.
District or Circuit?

Thanks for the kind words of support, everyone. Not looking to be excused but just postponed would be fabulous. Susan...got chosen for district court and apparently inflation has hit the court system. The pay has gone up to $12.50!

Hi! We're in Louisville here. My daughter is also at Centre. She's the one with the U of L license plate on the back and the Duke University plate on the front. I'm surprised her car hasn't been egged yet down there in big blue country! Have to speak up for all of the Cards fans out there!

We'll be at WDW Aug. 15-22 and maybe we'll be going back in Dec. I too am surprised at the number of Kentuckians on the board.
