Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too........ Part 2

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Ok now you're all making me laugh tonight ... I say you go for all your ADR's why not .... and bless him did Woody make him feel better vabout missing lightening?

Oh sure... it is only a kazillion dollars. I should go to All 30 of them

Hey Kara, I need you to update mine. Add in. "And will weigh 1100 lbs if she doesn't quit eating McDonalds thinking she is going to actually win something with one of those blasted Happy Meals!"

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Oh, I forgot, Kara probably isn't going to read this for a while. She is too busy downing beer in her bikini at the pool. Either that, or finding a new wierd spot to hide the dish soap. I say mess with her Kara. Keep it in the Fridge and tell her to get it out for you with a straight face. Tell her a psychic told you to do it to keep evil spirits out of the room that they sleep in.

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

and bless him did Woody make him feel better vabout missing lightening?

Thanks for asking, and yes, he said that "having a Woody that you pull the string and he talks makes him not so sad that Light Light McQueen will not be there to see him." Bless his heart. That is a big thing for him. Probably much bigger than Mickey. Poor little guy.

VERY FUNNY!

Poor kiddo! Will you see him in the parade???

 

[Debbie6221]

I think I am going to try and pull off the monorail in my siggie until I get yelled at. How long do you think it will take??? I love that monorail!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

VERY FUNNY!


Poor kiddo! Will you see him in the parade???

Nope, McQueen has went to CA for some reason for 6 weeks. I tried telling DS he was on vacation. That flew like a ton of bricks!

 

[Camster0307]

Man, you guys were chatty today! From what I can tell, Kara's planning a "grand gathering" for all of us? Very funny! Seriously, though, it would be a hoot to do! (Just make sure you count me in on getting hooked up to the Fusion IV!)

Thanks to all who suggested leaving notes for my girls in their luggage when they leave. I actually used to do that every weekend they spent with their dad when they were younger, but then just stopped doing it. I think I definitely need to start that up again.

Can't believe Kara's out drinking again! I think I need to move to Florida!

Debbie - why do you have that blank photobucket sqare in your posts? What happened? And thanks, for the smaller pink mickey head. I may be able to get that to fit better in my siggie.

Ok - off to spend some quality time with the girls; our usually bonding over picking on the couples on Dancing with the Stars!

Good night!

ITS SNOWING AGAIN!!! THEY SAY 10 INCHES AGHHH!!!!!!!!!

Well it's rainy & dreary here and I can't complain because it's not snowing so.......

I can relate to the DD problems. Mine talks like she is Hannah Montana to me and she is only 5!!! It sounds a lot cuter coming out of Hannah's mouth. My DD isn't afraid of any punishment. I've tried them all and she just never knows when to stop or cut her losses. I LOVE the kid to death but she is a piece of work. Yes, I blame myself for spoiling her but I always thought I had it under control. I wonder if that is the problem or if it's just her personality. If you tell her to stop something she will NEVER stop the first time. It's always one more time..... She has a GREAT life but I don't just hand her over everything she wants or constantly give her her way. I don't know.....

Okay I'm not the only one with a child that has gone mad. I love her but I think she flucuating from a high to a low. I have chart that shows that kids are on high emotionally on the half year and in a low on the whole. The lows bring emotional instability, crying ect. I keep telling myself this is normal but I don't remember acting this way....

Remember how I told you guys how to save pix? I just save them as I see them. The Mickey head was made for me on the design boards. You know we could all make matching shirts!!! One day we will all meet or something!!!

Love the shirt idea.

I found it on the menu via "music". I would have to look for details.

I think you mean DirecTv or the other satalite company

I'm thinking B) we'd all be fighting because we would all be trying to control the trip! OR C) we'd all be drunk because nobody had any control over the trip! Either way, it'd be fun to be a fly on the wall, huh?

We'd make Erin and Tessa eat biscuits and gravy the American way!

And I'd be forced to "relax."

You would not be allowed any XFusion! Or maybe you would be given an IV tube!

Let's see, we'd stay at Cammies DVC resort! Tammie, you there, too?

Jillian would have to bring Badookie cause he's so darn cute! AND it's fun to say "badookie!"

Renee would not be allowed to eat at any character meals since she's got 27 on her itinerary for 4 days!

Keahi would be way too tanned so she'd be banished to the indoors for 3 months before the trip.

Laura would get a sunburn on her neck for the first time since there' no hair hanging there! So she'd need lots of XFusion to feel better.

And anybody who brings a child relinquishes all control!!!!! That'll make you leave kids at home!

OK, now that my lovely daydream is over.......

I'm at work. I laughed out loud when I read this! People started to look at me weird

We'd wear our new shirts. We'd be drunk and trying to run the place You're right I am going to have to have my neck coated in sunscreen.

Oh, I forgot, Kara probably isn't going to read this for a while. She is too busy downing beer in her bikini at the pool. Either that, or finding a new wierd spot to hide the dish soap. I say mess with her Kara. Keep it in the Fridge and tell her to get it out for you with a straight face. Tell her a psychic told you to do it to keep evil spirits out of the room that they sleep in.

 

[Debbie6221]

Hi Laura!

No, it's my TIVO but I think that any service where you are linked via an internet signal then you can get it.

SNOW! I feel for you!

Can you guys all see my siggie OK now???

Good night girls!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Debbie - appears to be working now. So am I missing something about your comment that they would turn it off?

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

We'd wear our new shirts. We'd be drunk and trying to run the place

And when we all run out of money, I know where we could go. We could all just jump down to Jacksonville. I hear there is a sucker there who will let you drink like a fish on her tab.

 

[CRdisMom]

Hi Laura!

No, it's my TIVO but I think that any service where you are linked via an internet signal then you can get it.

Good night girls!

Love the new siggie

I will have to have DH look into that... We get XM on our Directv. There are so many chanels that 's what I thought you were talking about

back to work

OK, now that my lovely daydream is over.......

I LOVE IT!!! I am cracking up!!! Cammie and I could combine our points and add extra days....

I love the T-shirt idea - and I would love to see how long it would take us to plan, with everyone wanting to be in control!!!! Then we would drive each other crazy worrying about what could possibly go wrong!

But seriously, we should really try it some time! Debbie will need to be the bartender, I think! I'll bring the sunscreen and do make-overs, Badookie definitely needs to come!

We'll have to take Erin and Tessa to Fort Wildnerness for S'Mores, too! I think they may have a new appreciation for "digestive biscuits."

How do you get it through Tivo???? And when will my hubby get our Tivo set up? We've only been here for 5 months!!! And we paid up front for 3 years!!! So that is just wasted money! Aarrgghh!!!!!

TIVO has an evil life of its own! I bought the 3 yr contract about 17 mos ago. It took over our TV lives - it randomly recorded shows we didn't want to watch, then changed our channels randomly while we were watching something else, because once I watched something with a certain actor in it. Then it started interfering with our cable box and wouldn't let us change the channels at all! When I did the troubleshooting, the website said it wasn't compatable with our cable box. I'm not switching to sattelite, cuz everyone around here has so much trouble with it, and my internet is bundled with it. I totally disconnected the Tivo when my TV needed to be repaired and haven't reconnected yet. I'm going to get regular cable put in the bedroom and put the TIVO in there. I wish I had just gotten the one that goes with our cable box. I was just angry with them at the time and didn't want to give them any more money.

Oh, I forgot, Kara probably isn't going to read this for a while. She is too busy downing beer in her bikini at the pool. Either that, or finding a new wierd spot to hide the dish soap. I say mess with her Kara. Keep it in the Fridge and tell her to get it out for you with a straight face. Tell her a psychic told you to do it to keep evil spirits out of the room that they sleep in.

Have some with your beer Kara!

I think I am going to try and pull off the monorail in my siggie until I get yelled at. How long do you think it will take??? I love that monorail!

Watch out for the DIS Nazis!'

Cammie, I'm sorry about the deal with your girls. I'm with everyone else - you do so much for them - take the time to really do something for yourself and enjoy your peace and quiet! Maybe your best friend could join you for a spa weekend or something? You are a very special mom!

Jillian! If you check in, hope you're having a great time!

Kara - I LOVE the MIL stories! You always wondered how that person raised your hubby, right?

Renee! Don't overplan - it's no fun to be upset because your plan isn't going according to plan! If your family misses out on some stuff because they don't want to listen, it's their loss - I think it would be good to agree in advance to split up once in awhile for "free time" and then meet back at dinner and share stories! If your "touring style" doesn't match, it's too hard to try to do everything together!

Well, I'm off to watch that trashy Bachelor - Happy Tuesday!

 

[tttessa]

Hiya all -

Kara you made me laugh too -but I will never ever eat those disgusting "biscuits" (tasteless scones) with "gravy" (white goop) again!!!! Hash browns however - the US ones outstrip the UK ones ANY time!!! And talking of breakfast over there - last time we saw someone pouring maple syrup on crispy BACON - yuegh, what is THAT all about....

Erin - you getting excited???? I am!!!! Especially since it is sooooooo DULL over here right now..... I've cancelled the papers, photocopied the passports, cleaned the sunglasses, paid the credit card bills - today am going to print off the opening hours of all the parks to take with us..... I had my hair trimmed this morning -skipped the colour though - I am not paying out to have it fade in all the sunshine out there -probably jinxed it now - mind you, the 10 day forecast out there covers the start of our trip now and it is OKish - some thunderstorms but 29 degC, link is below http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/USFL0372?from=36hr_topnav_business

Fun fun fun....... at least we are going from Gatwick not Heathrow - so there's a chance we might travel WITH our luggage!

I WANT TO BE THERE NOW.....

Tessa

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!

And when we all run out of money, I know where we could go. We could all just jump down to Jacksonville. I hear there is a sucker there who will let you drink like a fish on her tab.

I nearly spit out my coffee when I read this! Man, were you all on a roll last night - what were you all drinking? You guys truly bring sunshine to a cloudy day. It's so much fun reading this thread!

Laura - I CANNOT believe you're getting all that snow! Very cruel April Fool's joke Mother Nature is playing on you. We're supposed to be up in the 60s today - but rainy. Dare I say - spring may finally be here? Regardless, my girls have taken out the new spring clothes; we were so tired of the winter wardrobe already!

Tessa & Erin - So excited for you both - less than a week! When do you both get back? Hope you both take lots & lots of pictures because we like to look at them here! And, btw, made yorkshire pudding with my roast beef for Sunday dinner - YUMMY! That's probably the last time for the season; once April rolls around, I usually crack open the grill for most dinners.

Debbie - Yes, your siggie looks normal again. What happened? And, seriously, on my to-do list today: get myself hooked up with the LIVE365.

Tammie - So funny to hear your TIVO story. We kind of had the same problem but we easily fixed it. With DirecTV Tivo, there's a function called "Wishlist". Evidently when we first hooked up the Tivo, the wishlist function was activated w/out us knowing; my ex watched one episode of those "shark week" shows and the darn thing wound up recording EVERY program that came on about the ocean. It took us about a week to figure out how to make it stop. It's creepy though - it's like Tivo is telling us what to watch. Any way, no problems since and now - I COULD NOT live without it! I love my TIVO!

Have a good day everyone. Hope to join in on the fun later!

 

[karajeboo]

OK, I nearly had coffee shooting out my nose this morning, just reading these last 3 pages of posts!!!!! And my smarty responses are below!

The inlaws are leaving, the inlaws are leaving!!!! The car is packed and we're just waiting for them to pull out! Of course, I haven't even showered yet because sure as I get in there, they will want to leave, so I'm just waiting, and waiting, and waiting. And DH is running late this morning, too (which is why everything has been thrown out of whack!). He was up with the dog about 6 times last night, and I was up twice with the puppy. I'm ready to take Bella to the vet today and now DH is dragging his feet again. Y'all should see her, it's just not fair. She is barely hanging in there, but we can't tell if she's in "pain" or not. I may have to be the bad guy one day and just take her without telling anyone. Not that this will be easy for me either!!!!! But I also can't take the stalling....

I can't tell you how hard I laughed at this!!! I had tears rolling down my face. DS was asking what was so funny and I was laughing so hard I couldn't even tell him!!!!!

Kara, guess what??? I have two ADRs for lunch that I hadn't mentioned JUST IN CASE! I tell you. I think I am going to drop them down to one a day. This is crazy. On a good note, I think I will give the breakfast CM to the lady who has no CM for DD bday trip.

SO.. I told DS about Lightning in the car thinking that would be the easiest way. He is in a good mood after school. CRYING BUCKETS. For 20 minutes. In the car. So what do I do? Come on Kara, you know what I did. I took him to the store and bought him a Woody of course!

I need more therapy than this board!

Just make sure he knows there's a Buzz there waiting for him the next time you break his heart!!!

Hey isn't Badookie and Jillian in WDW right now!!!

YES!!!! And I didn't have time to get her little "gift." Stop laughing, Tammie!!!! Hopefully I can send it once she gets home...

Oh sure... it is only a kazillion dollars. I should go to All 30 of them

Hey Kara, I need you to update mine. Add in. "And will weigh 1100 lbs if she doesn't quit eating McDonalds thinking she is going to actually win something with one of those blasted Happy Meals!"

HOney, McD's is a staple on my diet!!!! You've got everything in the food pyramid! Your protein (2 all beef patties), dairy (cheese), veggies (lettuce, pickle, onion), carbs (on a sesame seed bun), and not quite sure where the special sauce fits in, but I'm sure it's healthy, too! Now how many of you were singing the Big Mac song as you read that????

Oh, I forgot, Kara probably isn't going to read this for a while. She is too busy downing beer in her bikini First of all, I'd be evicted if they caught me in a bikini at the pool. Either that, or finding a new wierd spot to hide the dish soap. I say mess with her Kara. Keep it in the Fridge and tell her to get it out for you with a straight face. Tell her a psychic told you to do it to keep evil spirits out of the room that they sleep in.

How funny!!!!! Right now she is saying "goodbye" to Bella. Gimme a break! Just LEAVE!!!! For crying out loud (pardon the pun!) they both just came out SOBBING - let's think about DD now, she has NOOO idea what is going to happen soon, why make such a big deal out of it?

Man, you guys were chatty today! From what I can tell, Kara's planning a "grand gathering" for all of us? Very funny! Seriously, though, it would be a hoot to do! (Just make sure you count me in on getting hooked up to the Fusion IV!)

Thanks to all who suggested leaving notes for my girls in their luggage when they leave. I actually used to do that every weekend they spent with their dad when they were younger, but then just stopped doing it. I think I definitely need to start that up again.

Can't believe Kara's out drinking again! I think I need to move to Florida!

Good night!

OK, if our CFAWW grand gathering works, it was my idea, if not, it was Debbie's idea! And heck yes I was out drinking!!!! Actually, last night our neighbors invited us over to roast marshmallows - they just dug out a big pit, filled with sand and palm trees and added a firepit. We NEEDED to go over there for awhile to get away from the inlaws!

I love the idea of notes in your girls' luggage. I used to do that occasionally with DD's lunch. She would come home and show it to me with that little smile that just melted my heart. That was BEFORE she became the possessed child that she is now!

And when we all run out of money, I know where we could go. We could all just jump down to Jacksonville. I hear there is a sucker there who will let you drink like a fish on her tab.

I laughed so hard when I read this!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!! I am cracking up!!! Cammie and I could combine our points and add extra days....

Have some with your beer Kara!

Kara - I LOVE the MIL stories! You always wondered how that person raised your hubby, right?

Renee! Don't overplan - it's no fun to be upset because your plan isn't going according to plan!

Too funny! Now what does that tell you about our overplanning? When the plan doesn't go according to plan????

DIGESTIVE BISCUITS!!! I couldn't remember what they were called! Yes, when we all come to Jacksonville to drink off the poor sap's tab we'll stop at my neighbor's house for s'mores!!! We are actually getting together this weekend for this!

Hiya all -

Kara you made me laugh too -but I will never ever eat those disgusting "biscuits" (tasteless scones) with "gravy" (white goop) again!!!! Hash browns however - the US ones outstrip the UK ones ANY time!!! And talking of breakfast over there - last time we saw someone pouring maple syrup on crispy BACON - yuegh, what is THAT all about....

Tessa

Tessa, I ALWAYS dip my crispy bacon in syrup when I have pancakes!!! But then again, we Americans are such food connoisseurs (sp?) - our claim to faim is pizza and hamburgers! Can't argue with that, huh?

OK, as the inlaws were leaving, FIL dumped his entire cup of coffee all over my foyer!!!! Yeah, it seeped into the carpet in the living room, too. Good stuff. And MIL would take off one paper towel at a time, to try to stop the flow of a full cup of coffee! You're right, Tammie, how in the h*** did my DH make it to adulthood???? Or maybe now I know where all his "issues" come from!!!!

Well, off to work now. I had a lot of fun reading and writing - y'all have a great Tuesday!!!!! In fact, I apparently had too much fun because the DIS nazis won't let me post until I take out 5 images (can only have 25 and I have 30 right now - oops!).

 

[karajeboo]

But wait, there's more!!!

See Debbie? I do pay attention!!!!

 

[karajeboo]

Evidently when we first hooked up the Tivo, the wishlist function was activated w/out us knowing; my ex watched one episode of those "shark week" shows and the darn thing wound up recording EVERY program that came on about the ocean. It took us about a week to figure out how to make it stop. It's creepy though - it's like Tivo is telling us what to watch. Any way, no problems since and now - I COULD NOT live without it! I love my TIVO!

So THAT's what caused that!!!!! With us it was every cooking show, because DH loved to watch the food network. I think I may play around with Tivo today, if I'm not busy. Drives me crazy to have something and not be able to use it! And, I need to watch the first season of Lost - I got the DVD from the library and it's due back today. Guess I'll be planted in front of the tv today, huh?

 

[karajeboo]

Did it work??? The only problem is that I can't get these to save to my computer somehow???
