It squirts out just like whipped cream would. BATTER BLASTER It is super easy to use and no mess to clean up. Just heat the pan up and you are ready to go. Kids really like it and it makes mornings easier for me. Hey anything that means we can eat more pan cakes is a great thing! Two thumbs way up from me!

What a wonderful invention!! Too bad it's not sold around here! I just looked at the website and it's about an hour away to get one!! So I guess I'll have to wait for awhile!!! Enjoy them though!!!

I know, I didn't want to lose my big number, but my vacation plans came up when a few students googled me.

It's wise to be careful about posting on public boards.

well --- I am a curse on drivers I feel....I loved Alan Kulwicki, Davey Allison...then went on to Dale. IMO Teresa screwed everything and everyone over, but that is another thread entirely. One of my dorm mates in my freshman year really got me more into racing than Polk county did (imagine that!) So I follow it, and yes, I follow Dale Jr...but his teammates as well.....also Nemawreck.....(Joe Nemechek....)

I LOVED Davey Allison. After he died I have never really had an absolute favorite. Just a handful that I cheer for. Dale Jr., J.Gordon, I have more that I don't like then I do like I was hoping that Jr. would get this first win with the new team. But boy, with Daytona, you never know until the last lap who is going to take the checkers.

But, I just had to copy the link to this . . . the picture was just too funny!

Well, gotta go pick up Sophia at Grandma's - she went to a church event with her. Maybe I can catch up on this one later . . .

If we didn't have kids I would be all over that ...how fun. We used to watch eco challenge marathons when we didn't have kids all the time(its from the producer of survivor prior to survivor really cool extreme adventures we like watching the mount everest documentaries too...very cool)

 

[woody73]

I don't like that once the thread is closed you lose your quotes, I had a few replies selected and lost them....I wish we didn't have to keep changing our thread.

It's lousy that our threads get locked. And it's absurd that we cannot access our original thread.

I agree the orginal thread being gone is bad. I wish it was at least available to view.

 

[woody73]

And now we're having cereal for dinner so no cooking!!

Wow, haven't done that since college either!

I have a question here:

How many suitcases are we allowed to bring on the ship.
I know about the airlines but does Disney put a limit on bags?

 

[txSleepingBeauty]

Anybody watching Extreme Home Makeover? Patrick Henry, the boy that somebody posted a YouTube link about, the one that is blind and plays the piano and trumpet, is who they are making a home for.

. . . I am wanting to get into geocaching. From what I have read online it would be a lot of fun for my daughter and I to do together.

We have a friend who goes geocaching. He has a blast!

We joined him once when he found a cache at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. It was very clever the way the cache was disguised.

Great post all around! Sounds like you all have had a great day. I am wanting to get into geocaching. From what I have read online it would be a lot of fun for my daughter and I to do together. Are you able to do it with gps from a iPhone or Blackberry?

Aarrgghh... Just typed up a big long response only to get kicked out by the disboards!!! It seemed just like being on the DCL website except no fishies to keep me entertained!!!!

Anyhow here goes attempt #2 at a response!

I really enjoy geocaching and if my wife woudl let me, I would probably be quite addicted to it. I really like that it gives us a good family outing (we are careful not to try and do caches that are too difficult for the kids). We also tend to do them when we are a long road trip as it helps to break up the monotony of the drive for the kids. And in general I don't like walking just walking's sake, so this gives me a purpose to the walk. Also, sometimes you can find out about places and things that are right in your own backyard that you never knew existed!

I will warn you however, it can be quite frustrating. One cache took me 3 attempts to find it. I thought it would be an easy find one day, so I went out on my way home from work to find out, traipsed around the bush in my shirt and tie and dress shoes and came up empty. took my nephew with me another time and still no luck. Took the girls out and find out it was right under my nose all 3 times!!

Here are a few pics of us geocaching:

Our first geocache find gave us a viewpoint of our fair city that we hadn't seen before. GCRAY8

The one that gave me all the headaches. GCN2YP

Ammo cans are the best because they hold all sorts of treasures! GCNAJ9

Sometimes it's just the things you can see while geocaching that make it worthwhile. This guy didn't help me find the cache at all. GCXQZY

It's fun to do with family. Here is Shannon with her Aunt out geocaching. GCGBKY

Did I mention it was fun to do with family? Here is my dd3 (Kaleigh) having some fun caching. GC106KH

And this is a travel bug that I sent out to commemorate the life of my late cousin. Hopefully it will find it's way to Scotland, where he wanted to visit and learn about his ancestors. VTBD40

Geocaching can be fun and rewarding and really doesn't have to cost that much.

If you want I can talk to you about it while on the cruise. Heck, if there are others who are interested in the sport, maybe we can hold a group get together on the ship and I can try and answer some questions. Just one caveat: I am by no means an expert. I am still pretty green at this myself, but I think I have gotten most of the basics covered pretty well, and can at least help a few people get pointed in the right direction. I will be bringing my GPS and geocaching stuff with me on the cruise as there are some caches I want to try and find on the cruise (no not on the ship but in the ports ).

Some of the hides can be quite clever. We found one that was hidden as a bird house. The hole where the birds go in wasn't really a hole, just an indentation (recessed) that was painted black and the roof was on hinges so you could open it and see the treasures inside.

I've seen them dressed up as rocks, and one nasty one had leaves and underbrush glued to it so it blended in with the bush. A buddy showed me one he did up that looks like a power post. Some can get quite mean. But I really like looking for ammo cans. They are the best because they have the best stuff left behind.
