Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[LaLalovesWDW]

Hey all. Just came back from a weekend in the Poconos... I realize that place is no fun alone, but I enjoyed myself nonetheless.

Found a club to go to last night. Quite ghetto for my taste, but got 2 free drinks out of it. Then went to the little bootleg casino. Lost $20 and then left...lol

Window-shopped at the outlet mall 't'il it started thunderstorming and then brought my tail home... off to pick up DD!

Oh, and been following your convo closely on the relationship thing. My thing is.. I have no problem meeting men or getting into a LTR, its them who usually have the problem keeping me. We get too comfy too quick and stop doing the things that attracted you in the first place..when I get bored, I lose interest. Thats my problem.

Hello!

I have been lurking around this thread for months.
I was inspired by Darcy's earlier post about being meek and decided to stop lurking and just introduce myself.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend as Monday creeps closer and closer.

Welcome to the boards!

Question: What Disney movie(s) have you never seen that seems strange that you haven't? I had received that advertisement in the mail where you can order Disney movies and realized how many I never actually saw but feel ashamed, in a way, that I hadn't.

Bambi
Fox and the Hound
Song of the South (I had to actually look up the name since I had no clue what "Splash Mountain" was based on. I thought it was the song, Zip a dee do dah -which I knew)

Am I the only one?

I've never seen Song of the South.... but I'm honestly not surprised or ashamed of that since the movie has pretty much been one that Disney has tried to hide my entire life. I THINK it may have received 1 VHS release when I was a kid, but I don't think it's ever been released on DVD or any other modern formats. It's just too....non-PC... for today's audiences.


Beyond that, it's hard for me to remember what I have and haven't seen. I know there were a lot of old-school Disney movies I saw when I was younger than I can barely remember these days, or just remember bits and pieces of.

I haven't seen anything released in the past 12 months. I'm pretty sure I've seen every other animated feature ever made by Disney. I used to own Song of the South on VHS, but had to order it through eBay from someone in England. I do remember it from my childhood though, and think it's silly that Disney is trying to pretend like it doesn't exist. I think it's actually a great story, even if it does depict the slave life in the American south. Really?! There was slavery 200 years ago?!

Yea DC prettymuch same for me.
Growing up with The Wonderful World of Disney on TV you pretty much saw everything. Apple Dumpling gang, Old Yeller, Shaggy Dog... I could go on.
As far as animated films, I am not sure there are any I haven't seen, but I know I don't rememeber the details, like the second Rescuers. "Down Under" I believe.

Song of the South acording to Wiki:
The film has never been released in its entirety on home video in the USA,[3] because of content which Disney executives believe would be construed by some as racist toward black people, and is thus subject to much rumor. Some portions of this film have been issued on VHS and DVD as part of either compilations or special editions of Disney films.

I used to love me some Apple Dumpling Gang.

And I think it was the combination of Wonderful World of Disney, and the Disney Channel back when it wasn't just a breading ground for the latest batch of Disney clones.

I have seen all these. There are a few out there that I saw years ago and some that are not really big hit movies, but I loved them. Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Aristocats, The Sword in the Stone, The Incredible Journey, The Love Bug movies and The Computer wore Tennis Shoes are all movies I saw when growing up. We used to get free tickets to the "summer series" at Fox Theatre in Covina, where I grew up, and there would be a matinee weekly that was always a Disney movie. We would get these tickets at the end of the school year. I think it cost like 5 bucks for 10 weeks of matinees. It was a great way to get to see all the old classic Disney movies, though I should say that I am old enough that most of these movies came out after I was born (1961)

Welcome Candice. It is great to see more Virginians publicly admit their love of Disney.

Welcome to the boards!

I know how you feel, except for me it was after 11 months.

I used to love me some Apple Dumpling Gang.

And I think it was the combination of Wonderful World of Disney, and the Disney Channel back when it wasn't just a breading ground for the latest batch of Disney clones.

I have often wondered why Disney hasn't caught on to the fact that they have a large collection of fans who enjoy the classic Disney. They could either go back to the strategy they once used on the Disney Channel where as the night got later they began showing more of the classic programming. It was a one point called "Vault Disney." But I have also noticed that the merchandise offered at WDW seems to be moving away from us aging Baby-Boomers.

Hey Dave, the relay was absolutely inspiring and a lot of fun. If I remember right, they said we raised 116 thousand dollars. I made it until almost 2:30 a.m. before crashing.

Definitely consider me signed up to do it again next year.

I'm glad you had a great time! Congrats on a successful event & welcome to the wonderful world of Relay.

We did have this conversation before ya know. . .lol.

I know but I keep hoping that if I say it often enough it will come true.

That is exactly what I mean. Permanent companionship. Its tough because I truly know that I have some things I need to work on to make me a good companion in a LTR but I still want one NOW. . .

It is good to hear a woman say she wants a relationship. I can't tell you how many women I have met since moving to Virginia 18 months ago who say they don't want a relationship with any man. I have even seen them right it in their Match profiles. Why would you post that on a dating website?

I used to be this way, but I have learned to trust again. I choose to believe that most men are good people and good natured.

Personally, I hope you guys keep looking at women. Its a normal trait. I have a tendency to look at men. Its just a natural reaction. We are wired that way. Doesn't mean I want to "play" with every man that I am attracted to.

I too would think it was weird if guys weren't looking at girls. Please don't stop doing that!

OK we have permission to look...

Ok Geek moment...


I LOVED this weekend's episode of Doctor Who. i think I may have a new favorite episode.

It's been a long boring night here. Beyond that, i'm trying to get an issue with my start date at work straightened out. They have me as starting in 5/2009, when I actually started in 9/2007. somehow things got screwy in the system and I need to get it straightened out so I get my extra week of vacation next year.

Wow. I would've gone insane by 11 months. I've been stir crazy for the last 6 months. lol. I hated not having anything to do all day after having not had more than 2 weeks off in the last 6 years.

Good morning! I'm doing great. I in-process for my job today, am throwing my buddy a bachelor party tonight(it's just the 2 of us so it'll be low key), and then I start work tomorrow morning/afternoon(hoping for the afternoon lol). I say get the donut! You only live once right?! haha. Have a great day everyone! I won't be back on here until sometime tomorrow.

It is mostly sunny, but very chilly here (it was 45 degrees when I woke up, brrr), I imagine its a bit warmer there

As for the donut, I have to wear a swimsuit in public next month, so no donuts for me for a while....but you can have one for me

That doesn't sound like much fun to have to get straightened out, but definitely worthwhile! I don't actually get vacation and taking time off is a bit complicated. I normally work for 4 hours on Friday mornings, but can make slight changes if I warn my boss well in advance (ie, for my June trip I'm working Thursday morning the 9th instead of the 10th). My boss doesn't even know how to turn on the PC, lol, so checks won't get written if I'm not there. The only Fridays I definitely don't work are the week of July 4 (get paid for it, so I guess it is sort of my vacation ) and the day after Thanksgiving (work Wednesday instead).

Good Morning all,

New to this section of the boards here since I am new to being single. Wife is walking out after 12 years of marriage (20 years together) after an affair on her part. Still very hard to deal with since she is still living in my house for another month. Biggest concern in my life is my DD (5) and the affect my ex's decision will have on her. Will be taking a daddy/daughter suprise trip at the end of June before custody arrangement begins. Hopefully this will be a good time for her and give me a chance to bond with her.

Finding the 'single life' very lonely after 20 years of being together but learning to adjust and find my way. Decided I need to put myself out there and with my love of Disney what better place. This is all new to me and I am looking forward to developing a new group of friends.
