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

I want to soo bad move down to Fl
#1 WDW
#2 There is actually stuff to do there, all we have around here is a mall, movie theater and food..it does tend to be boring

The Lack of stuff to do is definately a killer. It also makes it a complete ***** to meet people since there aren't a ton of things to do which are really conducive to making new friends.

isn't that the truth,

I AM moving to Orlando , I just need a few more pieces of the puzzle to make it happen

I'd move in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the job situation. damn my highly specialized skillset!

LOL, well if all of you end up moving south, then there won't be anyone from PA left to take over the board.

Just because we'd no longer be in PA, doesn't mean we still can't take over the board.

I believe you are sadly mistaken. . .remember, I actually live here in Florida so truly I know the experience. Not sure I could be jealous of people from the Northeast.

You are jealous and you know it. How could you not be jealous knowing that we have massive amounts of Chocolate... a chocolate Mecca if you will... in our backyard. And that's on top of the very cool people in our little PA group.


(Hmmmm.... Chocolate on top of people.... Oh go ahead, make the comments I know you are all thinking about. )

Ok I finally caught up!

I'm in the process of doing that now.

I still want a pink tank with lime green Mickey head....Mickey88 let me know when they are hot off the presses.

Hmmmm..... Do i need to set up a Cafe Press store or something to let people get their shirts?

Plenty of talking about 1 of my favorite things FOOD....Everything in moderation and plus I work my azz of at the gym 5 days a week. Tried a new machine at the gym tonight and it kicked my butt!

i REALLY need to get back to the gym. Unfortunately it's so difficult to get into a gym routine when your schedule is jumping around like mine has recently. And when I'm on the 4x10 overnights, It's kinda hard to get the motivation to go to the gym after being at work for 11 hours (including lunch).

Ok, let me repeat this again, I am not making tshirts, I can supply the graphic, then anyone wanting a shirt can buy a shirt, and iron on transfer paper , print the graphic on the transfer paper and iron it on to your shirt

That sounds like it requires work....

.... And maybe a bit of skill.

I think I like the Cafe Press idea better. Overpriced Tshirts where someone else has done the work sounds much easier and more desirable.

Well I went and bought a motorcyle tonight! It needs a little work but it'll be nice to get riding again! It's an 84 Goldwing GL1200 and only has 110k on it. Hope everyone had a great day

I'm SSSoooooo Wanting to get a bike. The fact one of the major Harley plants is in town....and I pass it daily on my commute to work, doesn't help any. That, or the fact that i'm literally the only person in my department who doesn't have his motorcycle license.

Unfortunately I doubt I'm going to be able to get one this season either....even though the gas prices would make it oh so desirable right now. Unfortunately between debt payoff and my need to replace the vehicle, a motorcycle falls down the list a bit.

 

[Offsides]

I feel like I've missed so much and I was only gone for 5 days!

Coming back here to 50 degree weather after being in Florida is not fair. I miss warm weather. And wearing my shorts. And seeing green instead of brown.

Let's all migrate south!

Welcome to the SSC, where if you step away for more than a day you'll have pages and pages of posts to catch up on.



Ssoooooo.... If we all moved south, Do you think we'd be able to make a living selling our Florida park know-how to tourists?

I guess so! I tried to keep up on my phone, but it was irritating me since the screen is so small. And our hotel is apparently a black hole for my phone because it worked well everywhere else but there.

That is a fantastic idea. We should start a company.

I thought about doing the cafe press thing, however, then you run into the whole copyright issue with Disney, and cafe press would most likely shut it down..

if people make their own shirts it shouldn't be a problem.

not much work or skill required to do it yourself, trust me I've done it numerous times, transfer paper is readily available at walmart, kmart..etc..

printing it is easy, since I've already flipped the text..

ironing it on just takes a little patience to do it right,

oh and the shirt should be a blend, rather than 100% cotton..

I have decided that when I move if I can't be a Wdw nurse then I'm working in the main street bakery!

hmm that would make an already sweet place, even sweeter..

Thanks for the sweet words! After the day I'm having I need something to make me smile

considering it's just a mickey head without any details, would it really run into copyright issues?

Oooooo.... Then we could enjoy your tasty cupcakes on main street.

yes, I tried getting a simple lime green mickey head emroidered on a white baseball hat, to wear to the parks, and I couldn't find a single shop that would do it.. they all refused because it's obviously supposed to be Mickey Mouse..

it's funny you mention this, every you talk about being in York I keep thinking "my company is working at the Harley plant" and you want a bike from there! too bad they're going to eventually close the plant
I have a couple that works with me that have Harleys and everytime I travel I get them new Harley shirts...based on my contribution alone it looks like they have been all over the country!

I haven't decided yet if I want an actual Harley or not. In some ways, I'd love to get one.... but I think ultimately it's just too damned expensive to get one right now. At least for my first bike. I'd much rather risk laying down a $10k bike vs. a $25k bike.

but at the same time, I can't help but wonder if there might be a law on the books about riding a non-harley cruiser in this town.


As for the plant closing..... I know there was a LOT of talk about that over the past year or so, but from what i've heard....at least from the local media chatter, it seems that the immediate threat of the plant closing has been averted. They downsized the plant to make it more "efficient", but I think I heard they are throwing some money into renovations at the plant as part of that process (automation, and consolidated operations into 1 part of the building), so i'm not so sure if the place is actually in danger of a complete shutdown now.


Interesting trivia though that i learned over the past year. It seems that the factory that Harley is now operated out of in York was actually built during WW2. At that time, the factory was used to build the infamous 40mm Antiaircraft guns used by the navy. (you know... the ones you see in every WW2 movie)....

Let me echo the comment that printing out your own transfer from a desk jet and making a custom shirt at home is really easy. Just be sure you buy the "dark shirt" transfers unless you're putting the design on a white shirt.

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Hello all! I hope you're enjoying your wenching Wednesday! I have that Black Eyed Peas song My Humps stuck in my head...

1. Yes, damn your highly specialized skill set, of course, this would mean you would actually have to look outside your comfort zone. . .lol

2. You may still take over the boards, but you will be here and I will be right there with ya'all.

3. I rarely eat chocolate so not jealous of that. . .sorry, just not my thing.

Shoot, if I miss coming on here during the day while I am at work, I can miss 5 to 10 pages. . .forget a week. . .lol.

I have done the iron on transfer thing many times. It is very easy. If you don't have a color printer at home, go to a fed ex office and print it out on transfer paper. Its super simple and the ironing instructions come with the transfer paper kit. Just don't forget to wash the tee first to remove sizing residue.

I have decided that when I move if I can't be a Wdw nurse then I'm working in the main street bakery!

I couldn't work in the bakery. . .In a months time I would not be able to fit through the door. . .lol.

Next time you want something embroidered on a ball cap, find a seamstress friend you know - I am sure there is someone out there who sews that you know. She will most likely know someone with an embroidery capable machine that will do this for you. Heck, if I still had my embroidery machine, I would do it for you.

 

[Mandyjg20]

I think it really depends what you do for a living. I am a nurse. Nurses make less here, but living here is worth it.

I didn't like living in Las Vegas. I don't gamble and I hate that everything there is to do, except for hiking and biking, involves the casinos. Not really my thing.

Not my thing either, I hate throwing away my hard earned money!!

It is hard to meet people, so I am taking a break from the whole dating scene, for this reason haha Love being single

The guy I work with is sick and his voice is all low and sexy and now I cant concentrate at work. I catch myself just spacing out and listening to him. Not good at all, lol. Im in trouble

Why do i get the funny feeling everybody here is trying to domesticate me? What if I don't wanna?

Hello all! I hope you're enjoying your wenching Wednesday! I have that Black Eyed Peas song My Humps stuck in my head...

i've had several songs by the Muppets stuck in my head. Thanks to another thread elsewhere on the DIS, I rewatched the Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody video yesterday, and then I just HAD to watch a bunch of the other ones they did.

1. Yes, damn your highly specialized skill set, of course, this would mean you would actually have to look outside your comfort zone. . .lol

It's not just a comfort zone I'm worried about, It's my ability to make good money. For various reasons, going back to school would be a real pain. Beyond that, if you get past my specialized skillset to the core skills behind it, I run into a VERY crowded and flooded skillset that makes it almost impossible to make a decent living off of.

I can kind of deal witha job outside my comfort zone, but I do quite enjoy the comfort of being able to have a roof over my head and eat.

2. You may still take over the boards, but you will be here and I will be right there with ya'all.

Hmmmmm..... Assuming we let you into our exclusive club.

....Though something tells me you would be able to find a way in.

4. NO COMMENT

Oh you are no fun!

Shoot, if I miss coming on here during the day while I am at work, I can miss 5 to 10 pages. . .forget a week. . .lol.

There is a reason I actually found time to log in when I was in Florida.


Well....That.... and to keep Darcy from spreading too many rumors about me and my harem.

Doubt it, there are too many others trying to do the same thing. . .lol.

Drat! there goes that plan.

I have done the iron on transfer thing many times. It is very easy. If you don't have a color printer at home, go to a fed ex office and print it out on transfer paper. Its super simple and the ironing instructions come with the transfer paper kit. Just don't forget to wash the tee first to remove sizing residue.

Wait! hold on a second...

So you are telling that not only do I have to IRON, but I gotta do LAUNDRY too?!?! Are you sure I can't just buy something?

2. NO COMMENT. . .

Wow.... I managed to get 2 NO COMMENT's in a single Darcy post? impressive.

She will most likely know someone with an embroidery capable machine that will do this for you. Heck, if I still had my embroidery machine, I would do it for you.

Unfortunately for me, the only person I know who did a lot of seamstress/sewing kinda work ended up getting a job a couple hours from here. Though, now she's making leather costumes for the Cirque Du Soliel and Victoria Secret Fashion Show.

Why am i almost picturing you intentionally getting him sick again once he gets better so you can just listen to him?

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

I'm a sucker for a voice like that, too. I heard a guy in the library a couple weeks ago who sounded awesome. I was all peeking around the stacks like some kind of spy trying to see who it was.

Now I'm wondering if I should stop smoking....


...i'm much more likely to get sick, and therefor develop that low "sick" voice if I'm still smoking.
