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

Another thing though to keep in mind.... I'm someone who likes to "wing it" when it comes to the parks. I never really do much planning.... to the point that I have a nasty habit of waking up and then figuring out what I'm gonna do that day.

I did more planning this past trip than I have ever before..... and even that planning was more along the lines of asking the people I was with what park they wanted to do the next day, and then getting an ADR the day before so I could make sure they had a more "magical" first disney trip......


....you know... before we started drinking around the world that evening.

Ummmm....details?

Yes! Let the dateless single people live vicariously!

Yea....what they said!!!!

LOL! The date went very well!

We have gone out a few times so the first date jitters were not a problem. The last time we went out she had mentioned that she loved Mexican food so this time we hit up a new Mexican place that I had heard was fantastic - and it was! Our food and service was great - dinner conversation also great. Tons of fun flirting and lots of laughter. We still have had zero conversation about entering into a relationship or becoming exclusive, but we always have a wonderful time. I was in a long term relationship up until this past December. I am not quite sure that I am ready for another relationship just yet.

She wants to hang out this Saturday after her aerobics classes (she is the instructor!). I will keep you posted on how that goes.

Yup... GF isn't as popular for the fireworks... but you also don't get as nice a fireworks view. The nice thing about the Poly is that you are looking straight down mainstreet, so you can see the castle and the fireworks going off behind it. With the "180 degree fireworks" for the 4th, you also can get the nice panorama from the Poly that would be slightly off at the GF.

It might depend on when we get done with dinner, but we may be able to catch the monorail over to the Poly for the fireworks. Although, I also read the GF music isn't as loud, which is a plus with a 4yo


And, I am a mega planner, lol. I consider it winging it that I've only planned 1 ADR per day

Sounds to me like you need to take her to a romantic starlight mexican dinner on the waterfront. Might I recommend the San Angel Inn.

The music isn't that loud on the Poly beach either.... and if you are worried about loud noises, keep in mind that the Poly is further from the firework launch points, so the "booms" won't be as crazy loud.

Good call!

I love me some San Angel. More importantly.... I love me some Mexican margaritas.

I will be in the world in October too! First round is on me if our trips overlap!

I will be there the first weekend

Not much planning for me either, often I will go to the bus stop and get on the first one that shows up.

So much for springtime, rain today with a chance of snow....

The guys I was working with this morning had about 5-7" up in Scranton this morning.

And it was the heavy wet crap.... so they've been dealing with power outages up there this morning.

 

[ahoff]

I will be surprised if we get any snow at all, just a little rain now. Hey, I love to go skiing but I am so ready for warmer weather.

I see you are from York. Used to be a great drag strip there years ago. They are all closing now. Used to be two near me. But there is still Englishtown.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Well think about it.... Who's gonna pay better for their advanced medical care.... Some guy high up in the mob? or the Gov'ment?

While that all sounds plausible, most of the casino's (resorts) these days are owned by "corporations" (read: legitimate mob business - lol).

Why are they all closing? I haven't followed drag racing in many years, but I used to go with my dad to the Drag races at Pomona County Fairgrounds in California (aka; Los Angeles County Fairgrounds). Are they just not getting the sponsorship that they used to get years ago? I love me some Nascar, but I miss the Drags. . .lol.

 

[nurse.darcy]

I'll be there the first weekend in October too!!! Oh wait, I live here. . .lol. (Sorry Augie, couldn't resist).

you are a "MEAN GIRL"

Yes, I am, but you know you Luv me. . .

First.... WTH people? Why are you guys slacking so much. NO new posts between the time I go to bed and wake up?

While that all sounds plausible, most of the casino's (resorts) these days are owned by "corporations" (read: legitimate mob business - lol).

It's still mob money.... just it's mob money being reported, instead of mob money that noone admits to having.

If i had to hazard a guess... It might be because kids today in their rice rockets aren't into the same ole' style of raw horsepower drag racing of years gone by. Drifting is also the bigger fanbase for a lot of those kids these days than straight line drags.

Sorry... I just haven't had anything to add today because my experience with both the mob and street racing is very limited.

See, this is how I felt after I got off work yesterday. I got online around 5 p.m. and there was only one page of new posts. Some days this board EXPLODES and I come home to 7 pages. Even after I got back from church last night there was no new posts.

Get it together people. . .no more slacking off.

Sorry I'll try harder!

Hope everyone has a great day....didn't get the 4 to 7 inches of snow we were suppose to!!! only got about an inch...so its a great day...And almost Friday!

 

[DIS_MERI]

Sorry I was slacking, although today probably won't be any better....was making caramels for dessert today; one of my girlfriends had a baby last week and it is my turn to take them dinner. She loves caramels, so I made those last night, and then since it is chilly here today I'm making homemade noodles this morning for chicken and noodles. Plus I have to do the 3+ hour round trip for my allergy shots and all the regular stuff homeschooling entails, should be a fun day....

Noise and escalating real estate values. There was one a mile from my house, and I knew it was there when I bought. But many buy in the dead of winter, and then are in for a shock come spring time. So they started a petition to close it, which they were successful at. And now there is an upscale retirement community there. Many existing have noise curfews, can't start before a certain hour and have to be done by a certain time.

Pomoma is still in use, season opener and finale. And there is a nice one out in Vegas.

Only about an inch of snow, hopefully will be gone by tomorrow. Yea for Friday, heading into Brooklyn to see Perpetual Groove at Brooklyn Bowl. They played there for the first time last September, and appropriately opened with 'The Man in Me', a tune featured in the Big Lebowski, which sort of all ties into the Lebowskifest they hold there. Love that movie.
