Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to the boards, and sheltering Irene as I type. Looking forward to making new friends on here.

I just got home from going roller skating. I haven't done that since I was a kid, was too much fun!

Well, happy Saturday night! Waiting for the hurricane to hit, they are saying now it will be here tomorrow morning. Just some light rain now. I guess the thing I am most worried about is having a tree fall on the house. Mywhole neighborhood is heavily wooded. Hope all of you on the east coast will get thru this. How did Darcy make out?

morning all-
so I spent my day shopping yesterday (yeah no big surprise there) today I'm doing laundry and heading to Dow Gardens and later catch up on some paperwork. my parents are weathering the storm (no pun intended) and when I talked to them this morning they said that my room has some standing water in it....which really sucks. the house we rented is on a hill, and my room happens to be below grade so everytime it rains water leaches up from the ground and into my room. normally it's just squishy when you walk but now there are actual puddles in my room! the landlord is suppose to be there tomorrow to assess the situation and hopefully will fix his floor before fall, we tend to get a lot of rain in September and October.
Again, would rather be dealing with the rain and wind than be here dealing with micro-managing customers.
so of course my bffs are siding with DC and TDB about going down to FL for the 40th anniversary especially since this has been a sucky 3 weeks. trust me when I tell you I've been online checking flights and passholder prices for that time so I am seriously considering it. again, it comes down to finance. between this last minute trip and having to deal with the rebuilding of the house I'm trying to be financially responsible (don't tell my mom that!). it may be something as simple as I don't stay the entire week but I really do want to go to MNSSHP & F&W only because it's probably one of my favorite times to be down there (ok EVERYTIME is my favorite time...) so don't count me out just yet, you may very well get a text from me saying I'm in the airport picking up luggage on my way to MK!
Sorry to hear about the flooding.
But as for the sept/oct trip, the 2nd bedroom is still open, and it has 2 beds just like a hotel room. If you can manage between sept 27th-oct4th, you don't need to worry about paying for a hotel room as you are welcome to stay at the resort.
eh, I can deal with the flood thing, that's why we have landlords. and if they ever want to sell the house, they are seriously going to have to fix the problem. my parents are fine...hey it can't be any worse than loosing an entire house!
it's funny you say that about the room, I was planning on flying down after my concert on the first so I would be there in the afternoon for the 40th anniversary and the original thought was to stay all week but I didn't want to pay a huge amount of money for the resort and the dining plan. so if I did stay with you the only thing that would be affected is my dining plan....hmmmm.....![]()
And there is a kitchen, so you could always eat breakfast in the room before heading out (cheaper than disney).
And seriously... F&W is going on. do you REALLY need the dining plan?![]()
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was filled with bikes and beer.

Mine was filled with hurricanes--the weather kind and the potable kind. The latter was better. Actually Irene had only minor effects. About half my neighbors lost power--their fridges were kept running by extension cords from the houses *with* power. Cable went out, so no internet except through our 3G devices. Lots of board games. Could have been worse!
