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

[stitch1986]

thats cool yea I am going also early november as well but a friend is getting married at the grand floridian so i am super excited

 

[DCTooTall]

Oh... and based off what you guys mentioned about southwest... I'm seriously considering booking my trip from Sept. 28th (Wednesday) until Oct 4th (Tuesday)..... though maybe i'll do Tuesday to Tuesday.....


Southwest nonstop from BWI for those dates is still under $200....

hmmmm... or my Preferred Delta I can get a flight out of DCA for under $200...

Why must it be so tempting to go to florida and spend lots of time there?!

Either way that's a killer price! It'd cost me almost $500 in airfare alone from Vegas. I wish I had the extra money to go this year but it's still looking like it'll be October 2012 before I can get out there.

Only problem is it's at least a couple weeks before I can get the tickets.


I'm too damned nice for my own good. I've lent some friends in a tight spot over $500 in the past month and don't know when or if I'll ever get repaid. i'm not really hurting as a result, but since that money came out of my "I can blow this however I want" fund, it means I don't have it to throw towards Disney trips right now.

(True.... I could blame my recent Amazon spending spree... but then I'd have no one to blame but myself. It's more fun to blame others. )

Ah, well hopefully they'll go down in price and not up.

I know that feeling all too well. But look at it this way, you're paying it forward so to speak.

It's always more fun to blame others and a whole lot easier!

Since we are still a few months from the trip, i think I'm safe from any dramatic changes in airfare for the time being, with at most a $10-20 type fluctuation. in the grand scheme, not that big a deal.

Tempting.... but sadly, couldn't do it. need to behave.

I'm invited to a wedding in St Augustine July 23rd, so if I decide to attend the wedding, the sale is definitely a possibility

I don't see myself getting any wedding invites anytime in the near future. All my friends are either married at this point, or Divorced and in no hurry to get re-hitched.

I'm in the same boat as well. I know lots of folks that are married (few of them other people are getting divorced) and quite a lot of them have gotten on the children bandwagon (I know of one mother on my Facebook page who's already a mother of four who just turned 32 nearly two months ago) that the idea of me getting a wedding invitation is the most laughable thing I've ever heard.

Well, time to head off to work. I don't know why, but it feels like, over the past several days, that I've been hit constantly by a MACK truck: coming in from work brutally tired and just as tired when I wake up in the morning. I hope there's nothing wrong with me and it's only just my job trying to kick my butt.

Did you get the PM I sent you?

Me too! I am in the no hurry category myself.


I need to get up out of bed and get ready for work. Is it Friday yet? I am looking forward to it. My son is going with his grandparents on Friday and his Father on Sat night. Now I have to figure out what to do with myself.

Good luck figuring out your dates. Hopefully we can all coordinate at least one overlap day.

As far as the extra money, yes its definitely more fun to blame others on them dipping into your Disney FUNd.... I stopped lending money a couple years ago when I would lend THEM money, then within a couple of weeks they would find a reason to have an attitude with me - even though I hadn't even asked for the money back. That's always been a phenomenon to me, so I just stopped doing it. If I have to give, I just give it and don't even expect to get it back. BUT, since you so nice... can I get a dollar?

Well I know I'm going to be there over that weekend. I'll be starting off the trip onsite at Universal for HHN before probably moving onsite at Disney for the rest of the trip for MK's Bday, and probably some F&W. I'm really leaning towards planning for a Tuesday departure so that I can devote Monday to F&W to avoid the opening weekend crowds.

The biggest issue is waiting for them to announce passholder room discounts for that time frame so I can figure out if I'm in a value, Moderate, or Deluxe.

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Good morning! I am staying home from work today because I spent the night barfing. It was terrible. At least it seems to be over. I still feel pretty weak/dizzy though. And I haven't been able to eat anything yet so I'm just sucking down Gatorade.

I hope you all have a happy, healthy, nausealess day today.

 

[TekMickey]

Sorry to hear that Belle. Hope you feel better soon. Looks like you have 29+ days so get your strength up.

I have exactly 1 other single friend, and she's never been married and is childless, so we either hang out with my horde of children or if we want to do something without kids, on my off weekends (or, more likely, we do things in a group of our married friends with kids around). Neither one of us can remember the last time we had a date (and the only single guy we know is the 24yo new guy and she's a year younger than me, so still a 10 year age diff there....), so no weddings on the horizon for me either.

I had to chuckle at the 32 and "already" a mother of 4 thing One of my closest girlfriends has 4, her youngest is 2.5yo and she turned 28 in January and, our other friend her age also has 4. Several of the girls that got married about the same time are having or just had their 3rd and are around 25. So, 32 doesn't sound young to have 4 to me. Out of the "still of childbearing age" women in my circle of friends not already mentioned, one is 38, has 6 and will probably have 1 more, one is 37 and done at 5, one is 33 and done at 4, one 32 and newly pregnant with her 6th and the 2 31yos have 5 (one with a newborn and the other's 4th/5th was twins who will be 4 next month) then they range from 28 on down. Needless to say, adults are nearly outnumbered by kids at my church

Ewww, sorry to hear that, Louisa That went around here a few weeks ago. We somehow managed to avoid getting it at my house, but my friend's 7yo had to be hospitalized she got so dehydrated, and to stop the vomiting (she vomited 19 times in an hour, they had to give her all kinds of stuff). I'm so thankful I've managed to avoid every tummy bug that has come through in the 3 years since XH and I split, although the kids have had a couple. Hope you feel lots better and get plenty of rest!

Hmmm....

Tell the truth, Today there was suppose to be a test at school, wasn't there? Aren't you a bit old to be playing test-hooky?

Sooooo, i just have to ask.... Has anybody up there heard of Birth Control? it's this amazing invention that is available in many different formats. You can do daily pills, injections, patches, and there are also some more basic (and ancient) methods involving one-time use devices.

also, despite popular belief, the "pray" and "pull out" methods aren't really valid forms of birth control.

 

[CoasterAddict]

I will be visiting from September 30 (evening) until October 3. As far as I know, DC will be there, too, but he hasn't bought plane tickets yet so I don't know his exact dates. And I think some other people will be there doing the marathon. You should definitely try to come down.

Ah, wrong end of September. I'll be there over Labor Day w'end.

I was thinking there was something in the water... and it is contagious.

But in all honesty I wish I would have had more. Don't get me wrong, its easier to spoil one than to try and make 3 or 4 happy. I don't have to listen to the "Mine..Mine..Mine" "she did this or He did that", but the rest of it would have been the greatest adventure.

Thanks! I am currently collapsed in bed praying for sleep. And Tekmickey it looks like you will be down around the same time and Missy and me.
