Next trivia question: Where was this taken?
Pinocchio Village Haus???
hmm, inside the castle? crt ??
I still have no clue where the tink topiary is
Hi gang,
Well it finaly happened. I was # 14 in a class of 60. Now i'm #49, i failed my first test. I 'm so stressed about it too, which i did not think i would be. I got a 73, passing is a 75. I missed it by 2 points. I was just starting to feel comfortable and thought i had it all down pat. Now i'm terrified i will fail more and be kicked out. We are allowed 2 failures, after your 3rd they remove you from the class. we have a 100 question test every friday. We were all told that this program has always had a 50% failure rate and if 60 got in, only 30 would most likely make it. The thing that gets me is the number one guy in the program, well everyone knows him and he is a weasel when it comes to street work. I hate to say it like that,but it's true. He is book smart, but lacks common sense, something you must have in the streets to survive and help someone else survive.
That is driving most of the class nuts, On one job 2 years ago, someone ran up to him screaming thier baby was trapped on the second floor of a house fire. What were supposed to do, if go in the building for the rescue and announce on the radio that every FDNY guy on duty has, were your going(floor, room, front or back of the house,etc) so they know where you are or are going. A real FDNY street smart guywould do this, call oon tyhe radio and let them know he is going to etc for a possible trapped infant, this guy runs to find the chif and tells him that he thinks the chief should send a crew in to look for the baby,common sense would made anyone else go do a search and rescue or recovery for the infant.
The baby was trapped with the babysitter ,both made it after being rescued out of the blaze thru the 2nd floor back windows with a ladder truck. Thanks to my guys there, i was off, but if it was up to this guy, i almost sure that the baby and sitter would have died. He lacks the drive to get the job done or do anything smart or usefull at runs other than stand back like he is watching with the crowd. Yet somehow this guy is #1 with test scores. I'm not the only one that feels like this, the whole class which consist of 5 captains, 3 chiefs and 3 lieutants and the rest of the class out of 60 who knows this guy has all said this. The call him the laziest FDNY guy in the dept, HE might work for the FDNY but he is not the FDNY meaning its not in his blood, but just a job for him. That was said by one of the chief 's in the class .Ok, face it you don't here me vent often, so here it is. It just drives me nuts to know that someone will most likely pass this rescue class and most likely never use it to help someone or make a difference. I have another test next wenesday, instead of friday, so wish me luck.
Morning everybody!!! Today is orthodontist day!Everything will be fine. Of course I woke up at 4:30 with a panic attack that I am doing something to jul that will make her life suck for a while.

see ADR's are easy for me! The girls are still so into the character meals, that we use the TS credits on those....so al 18 of my credits will be for character dining....that doesn't go far! I was thinking maybe for Casey's 16th bday I'd take her alone & she & I could do some more of the grown up dining things...
I think your plans sound awesome!!!
Last day...we always end with CM's....but this time...I don't know yet either....

I am officially sore! That workout is kicking my behind. I can't do every exercise and not all of them for as long as they do on the video, but I am proud of myself for getting up and doing it everyday! Getting thinner is NOT easy!![]()

No - totally.
Think about it... dont feel any obligation.
Ive always wanted to do one of these, so Im crazy excited. Im actually nervous to tell Lora what we're doing.... I think she's gonna be like 'you made me pay for dining to hang out with a bunch of drunk, monkey carrying, mojito-drinking women, and now you wanna do WHAT? When we are PAYING for dining?!?!"
Soooo.... Im feeling ya! I wish it were cheaper.... I wish we could just rent the spot, and forget the desserts.
You know, he will remember that freaking duck for his entire life, is he's anything like Danny. Danny remembers quirky little things like that, so if it's THAT special to him, then it's worth 2 points!![]()
MY EAR HURTS!
I think Im gonna suck it up and pay the 100 bucks for that stupid antibiotic. LAME!!!
And you think you live an exicting life...HA! I just finished watching HOUSE, then Danny put ear drops in my ear...woo hoo!Ever had your son do ear drops? THAT is a goooood tiiiiiime!!!
Yes! I had braces as a teen and never wore my retainer after I got them off.I can't believe I did that now. My top teeth look nice and straight but my bottom teeth, the 2 front teeth, one is slightly in front of the other.

2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas,
and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of
dragons When tempers flare up you whip out your
saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of
humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.
/QUOTE]
This is my DH!!! I had him pick. Its so true! He can't switch jobs because he's too loyal!
Ahhhh haaa.... that was my next guess!Hahaha! It is in Morroco.![]()
If all of the desserts listed below were sitting in
front of you, which would you choose
5. Strawberry Short Cake
5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving
You care about other people, can be counted on in a
pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. Can
be very emotional.
Ahhhh haaa.... that was my next guess!![]()
Yeah, pretty darn accurate! I can't believe Strawberry Shortcake says all of that about me!
I am TIRED (if anybody cares!) But Lost is on tonight so I won't be in bed early tonight either. Darn late night phone callsActually, I am just glad someone enjoys hearing me as much as I love hearing myself. (kidding!) If you can't tell, I am in a spunky mood.
OH AND GUESS WHAT????????????????????? Terry called last night. Said MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE and not to get my hopes up, but rumors are going around they might send them home FOR GOOD in December. PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for us. I am not telling Ryan anything. If he does come home early, it is going to be a total surprise!![]()
K, time to go make dinner!
