Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

[Ryan1989]

to the group! Feel free to pull up a chair and pour yourself a drink!

Welcome!!!

Welcome to the group! I am going in Dec as well, Dec 16-21. I dunno if anyone else is going at the same time, I haven't been on the disboards as much as usual lately...

Congrats! What a great time to go. I went a few years ago around that time and it was nice because it wasn't too crowded yet. I am so jealous-I love the decorations! .

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited about seeing the decorations! I've only ever gone in the July and August heat!!

Hello from insomnia-land! I have to be up in a little over an hour to get ready for this fun and exciting election stuff, ugh. So need to remember N-A-V-Y = Never Again Volunteer Yourself....although reenlisting twice probably shows I was a bit slow on that one anyway. Of course, I didn't voluteer, I was asked....


Anyway, thought you guys might like a funny at my expense....I was trolling POF (yes, feel free to have a laugh at me) and saw someone that seemed interesting to me....sent him a message (totally not my normal M.O.), a week later he wrote me back (apparently he's not a regular, lol) and after a few messages back and forth we are friends on facebook, as of like yesterday....so, while browsing facebook on my phone earlier, instead of hitting the "see more posts" button to go to the next page on my newsfeed, I accidentally "liked" a photo album of his (Family, has absolutely nothing to do with me). Oh. My. Gosh. He's going to think I'm a total psycho stalker now. Although, it could be worse, at least it wasn't something rude, crude or lewd, lol. So, that made me wonder...what is the worst/most embarrassing thing you've accidentally done on facebook?

 

[MICKEY88]

Would it help if we called in a bomb threat the day of the meet?

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not even something to joke about..

you could have just unliked it,

 

[DIS_MERI]

Would that undo the notification? I would rather not make it more confusing that it already is

 

[ahoff]

The next question would be do we have a particular timeframe we'd like as a group? for instance... special events like Flower and Garden, Food and Wine? Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party? (Halloween Horror Nights?), Mickey's Very Merry Xmas? Festival of the Masters? RunDisney Event to be named later?

I will most likely be down in May for the Everest race (and the F&G) and October for the W&D Half. And again in January, probably.

Here in NY the people at the polls get paid. But it is a long day.

Had some good luck and bad luck at POF, no longer there. But still on FB once in a while.

Taking some time off from work today, going into the city to see the Colbert Show (again, was just there last week). A friend of mine had tix for the Stewert show tonight but somehow she lost them in computerland. The guest tonight is Bill Clinton, would have been interesting.

Yes, the poll workers here get paid too, and I get paid more because I am on the election board....but I think it works out to about 15c an hour I think we (the board) had 8 meetings and a 2 hour training before the election, will be at the polling place 5am-6pm and then go count the votes.


I have bad-mouthed POF before, but I read some on the forums at POF this time and changed my approach. That has helped tremendously. This guy might end up just a casual friend and might be the only person I have outside POF contact with, but I am okay with that. So, I am admitting I was wrong

You did not learn from the navy...shame shame. But then good to give back, also with Veterans day around the corner many free meals and good deals for Vets. Take advantage of those and thanks for your service.

I am pretty sure you can't like the unlike on FB and no notice will be sent. I think that FB make some assumptions on users, and some may have had one too many cocktails and been surfing FB and accidentally hit the like button and the quickly the unlike button ndno notice sent.....so I have been told

I would be up for a DIS meet at WDW, no preference on time,other than off peak to keep the crowds low. My schedule is flexible enough that I can fit it in wherever, so keep me posted and I can help where needed

Right now I am sitting in lounge in Madrid airport waiting for a flight. I will be Home late tonight and then will "work" from home tomorrow before leaving in evening for Germany. Next week back to Tel Aviv. Good news is that I have hot Gold Level In Star Alliance now, and running full speed at Platinum.

I am getting closer to returning to states the first week in December, to pretty much take the month off. December is looking to be a great month.*

Hope everyone is having a good week.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Well then... it looks like we have a request for an off-peak (meaning... during the school year) meet I have no problems with that since it means we can be much more relaxed and just go where the urge takes us instead of having to plan out everything. Do we have anybody who knows they wouldn't be able to make it anytime school is in session and wants to go? ( thinking maybe if we plan early enough, maybe most with kids can make arrangements to ensure they can make it).


The next question would be do we have a particular timeframe we'd like as a group? for instance... special events like Flower and Garden, Food and Wine? Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party? (Halloween Horror Nights?), Mickey's Very Merry Xmas? Festival of the Masters? RunDisney Event to be named later?

I definitely think it would be fun to meet some fellow DISers but if you do it during the school year I'd be one who is stuck to a teacher schedule. But, if anyone is going over Easter...LOL! In all honesty spring break is not that bad since it's so spread out.

Ok there's finally someone else that travels just as much as I do.

 

[ctnurse]

Are we doing a 2012 meet in Florida?

I think this is a great idea. My vacations are booked for 2012. I will be in Mexico in Feb, then I will be hitting Europe in July, and WDW at the end of August. I should have a couple of days which I could add to a weekend to get to WDW for a meet. I think this is a great idea.

It is very easy to unlike something on FB. There are no longer notifications through email on FB. If you had unliked it right there, and unless he was on his FB page the exact moment that you were liking his photo, status,etc. He wouldn't know that you liked it. I hope this makes sense. Good luck with POF guy. Its good to take a chance, you never know what road it will take you down.

Happy Hump Day. It is going to be another beautiful day here in CT. There are still 20,000 people in CT without power after the snow storm. That makes day 11 for some people. The power company has promised by midnight today everyone's power would be back. They also promised it would be on by midnight Sunday.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

I'm flying into Hartford tomorrow for a short business trip. I hope the weather hangs on for a few more days!

Had a great time with DC and POTCAddict at Food & Wine and Hollywood Studios yesterday. See below for a pic of DC's knees on Maelstrom. . .too funny. . .

It was hilarious to see him try to cram that 6'6" frame into the boat. I was dying from laughter. At Rock n Roller Coaster at least the cast member was kind enough to let him have a front seat for more leg room. . .lol.

I understand that feeling! I'm almost 6' myself & my sisters are all taller than I am. We look like that on almost every ride!!

I'm pretty flexible on vacation plans for 2012. I'd love to be there for MNSSHP/Horror Nights or Food & Wine (especially if it was when Sister Hazel was playing ) or MVMCP!!!

I've dipped my toe in the POF pond myself with some results!!
I keep the faith though-my sister met her husband on Match.com & they are now happily married with 2 little boys so you never know!

Heh.. Funny to see someone mention POF on here. I just quit that site because I was kind of bored with it. I'm on OKC still. Anyway..

Hi everyone I'm new to the DIS boards. I'm just starting to get into the Disney thing, and I would love to meet people to hang out with when I visit the parks. Actually I might be heading up to MK tomorrow if I feel up to driving to Orlando. I want to check out the xmas lights, and see the fireworks.

I'm jealous! I have to wait 2 more weeks to see the Xmas lights!! Have fun!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. The weather looks to be great this weekend. I am going to lay off the candy, I have a 5K in the morning, and a duathlon on Sunday. And if Tracey and Robin are lurking, good luck with the Jets on Sunday!

It was a great weekend, weather-wise.
I hit NYC for a vinylmation meet, so that was ncie to talk Disney with other peeps.

Wow for all the running! I haven't tried running outdoors yet, it's all in the gym.

Had a great time with DC and POTCAddict at Food & Wine and Hollywood Studios yesterday. See below for a pic of DC's knees on Maelstrom. . .too funny. . .

O.U.C.H.!!! Hope the ride was worth it!
Sounds like you are having a magical time.

I got 29 days (I think) until I return to the World.

Well I'm now jobless again. They ran out of work and walked a few of us off the site today. I do have a phone interview on Friday but we'll see how that goes I guess. Hope ya'll had a better hump day than I did.
