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

Hmmm, would you go to Magic Kingdom on October 1 (40th anniversary) to see the special stuff, or skip it and maybe not see any of the stuff? I think we will avoid Epcot on the weekends to keep out of the F&W crowd and do our food tasting during the week when it is less crowded....

I think I would go to the MK because an anniversary like that doesn't come around very often. Hopefully, the experience would be worth the crowds.

 

[DCTooTall]

That is one way to do it!

Heh. I'm posting this from my phone. Who knew I could do this?

I look way younger than I am. I got carded trying to buy sparklers once, ha ha.

We seem to have a few phone posters here.... damned addicts!

Hey, I like your pics. Glad you found them. I just went and checked out your Facebook, too, so now I've seen tons of pictures of you. Do you really get carded for movies? I still do at bars because I look way younger than I am. People always think my younger sister is older than me. it used to really bug me, but not anymore now that we're in our 30's.

The one that got me the most was when I had shaved and was at walmart to buy Boondock Saints on DVD. Since I pretty much never got carded buying cigs or liquor, I had left my ID in the car. Wouldn't you know it, they carded me and wouldn't let me buy the movie without running to the car to get my ID. I also got carded a few times at a movie theater trying to see an R rated movie.

Honestly.... after dealing with the carding trouble enough when I was younger, I don't find myself shaving it all off much anymore. Between that, and the Legolas comments I got when I shaved (and still had my hair), I pretty much got comfortable with the way I have my facial hair now.

And can i just say I'm glad you're going back to working nights?

Now you have an idea how I felt when I'd go to bed, get to work, and find 4 pages of posts to catch up on!

Fly up to PA and you can go with me..

Haha. I *wish* I had the freedom and the money to traipse on up to PA just cause I felt like it.

Oooooo.... I had forgotten about the anniversary.... Maybe I should try to be there for that weekend.

I'd say do it. If nothing more, you might gain some extra memories since you can say you (and your kids) where there. if you have park hoppers, you can always show up to see whatever special thing they do, and then jump parks if the crowds are too bad.

1)

2) yes, but I was also being bored this morning and was like, "maybe I'll messenger Daryl" and then I remembered you were at work so no yahoo.

3) you crack me up. You're never going to be able to pick dates because you want to be there for everything. "maybe I'll go that weekend" "maybe I'll go that weekend."

Wait, it is bad thing to have a resemblance to Legolas/Orlando Bloom

I typed up a reply to this then closed the wrong window, sigh. Yes, we will have hoppers and waterpark/DQ visits available. Homeschool Day is that Monday so we get 6 day hoppers with 4 WP/DQ visits for about $200 each *and* we get to attend a class about cooking and nutrition with Epcot Chefs. I'm so excited about it!

Ah.... Well I'm headed back to nights a week from Monday, and I'm always on Skype while at work if you get bored.

3) you crack me up. You're never going to be able to pick dates because you want to be there for everything. "maybe I'll go that weekend" "maybe I'll go that weekend."

Well I was hoping for late september/early october for my HHN trip, so this works. Since I have a AP, running over to the MK for 40th anniversary stuff won't be that big a deal.

yes..... yes it is.

Cool..... so just see what's going on for the 40th, and you can decide if it's worth running in for it. Odds are it'll be something "small" like a rededication or special rope drop ceremony. Anything bigger and I'd almost expect Disney to make it more than a day thing..... you know... like a birthday cake castle!

So far the 1st has Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade (3pm, the whole time I'm there) plus Wishes Fireworks (9pm, not shown 10/2 or 10/6). There is also the Main Street Electrical Parade (8pm, not shown 10/2, 10/4, 10/6). EasyWDW says Disney hasn't announced anything else yet, but it *is* almost 6 months away, so it will be interesting to see what they have on offer. I don't have a room reservation yet (will probably use DVC once my contract closes unless they want to be nice and offer free dining....) so I can't even book dining yet for the 5th and 6th, lol. We won't fly in until after 8pm on the 30th, so I'm not counting it for anything.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Sometimes they do. Thankfully i'm usually the one with the camera, so I get to avoid having the picture taken. lol

WTH. I am sorry. You look absolutely great now. These pics are just uh, well, uh.. .lol.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Its a good thing my church loves me. . .I am sooooo depressed right now.

 

[MICKEY88]

do you need me to be your life coach

 

[DCTooTall]

WTH. I am sorry. You look absolutely great now. These pics are just uh, well, uh.. .lol.

I miss my hair... but I also realize that not every woman likes a guy with long hair. And those were also pics taken from a cheap webcam back in '04, so it wasn't the best quality.

Its a good thing my church loves me. . .I am sooooo depressed right now.

We love you too. Think happy thoughts!

 

[nurse.darcy]

Yes, yes I do. . .really bad. . .

I didn't even know that was happening, I am going that weekend for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon.

Its a good thing my church loves me. . .I am sooooo depressed right now.

I think my church loves me too. And I hope your mood improves, the weekend is here!

DcTooTall - I think you look better clean shaven and your hair was gorgeous!!

Darcy - Do something that makes you feel better. I know there are times when things aren't going our way or we feel hopeless about a situation, but if today is the absolute worst then tomorrow surely has to be better. Go for a walk, call a friend, have lunch with someone. Do something that will lift your spirits so this way you can't say it was all bad. You'll have something positive to hold onto. I know it's hard to find the sunshine when there's clouds, but I assure you, it's always shining.

On an unrelated note - I also have a profile on disdates. Here's hoping for something better than the usual. I hooked up with a cop when I first got divorced. He and I have been on and off for two years now including our most recent hook up. I think this is the 3rd time we've done the "dating" thing. He comes and goes as he pleases and I'm an idiot because every time he wants to come around, I'm single and have nothing better to do anyway, so I play along. I am so tired of being filler for people until something better comes along. I'm naive in the sense that I take people at their word and trust them until they give me a reason not to trust. So, when someone tells me that they have feelings for me, I believe them. I didn't realize feelings could be so fickle for some. Anyway, this guy knew I was single because my recent ex boyfriend also works with him. When the old cop asked the ex boyfriend a general status of my well being, the ex told him we broke up. Next thing I know, here comes old cop. Ugh!!

What is this Disdates thing I keep reading about and should I sign up or not?? I want to have fun too!

Sorry to hear about this. Sending hugs from SoCal.

I just confirmed a weekend trip to run the F&W 1/2 marathon so I'll be in town. I'm not sure if I have enough time to visit MK, but maybe I should consider it?

Try to enjoy it for what it is. If it serves a purpose to you, what's the harm? As long as you're not trying to fool yourself, let it fill whatever part of your life you need it to. (Then kick him to the curb when YOU'RE done!)

Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but I know that when I try to convince myself it's something that it's not, or that I can change the person or situation by sheer willpower, that I have the biggest letdowns. Fortunately, I've managed to avoid anything even close to those situations for a very long time, so there's no chance of that happening to me.

DcTooTall - I think you look better clean shaven and your hair was gorgeous!!

Told you guys that some people liked the hair. Funny thing is I actually had someone ask me once if I was interested in modeling. I never followed up on it, but i'm guessing the hair was a big part of the question.

Just think of it this way.... You always have a get out of jail free card handy.

What is this Disdates thing I keep reading about and should I sign up or not?? I want to have fun too!

Basically it's a dating site that "caters" to the Disney nut. I'd heard mention of it ever since I poked my head into this forum, but finally decided what the hell and decided to join up.

I just confirmed a weekend trip to run the F&W 1/2 marathon so I'll be in town. I'm not sure if I have enough time to visit MK, but maybe I should consider it?

You know, I was thinking about this last night, but since that's a Saturday in October, will the MK be closing early that evening for the Halloween Party?
