Something About Nothing..........#11

[Sparkly]

I don't use freestyle cups or anything like that but is that the ones that you can refill all day? If it is I think $11 is a fantastic price for a days drinks!! We buy everything when we need it as I am not taking a cup around with me. We must spend at least $40+ a day on drinks in the park every day......our choice though so I'm not complaining. $11 is around £7-8 a day.......doesn't seem insane to me, that's good value.......

As for park hours macraven has it spot on. Depends when you go. I think the price of the UK tickets for 14 days makes Universal a bargain even if it only opened till 5 every day.......I like their hours......suits us quite well.

Disney does the same thing.

No, the red cups are good value and I'm considering getting one. It's just a shame the freestyle ones are so much money because it looks a super cool machine!

And yes, 14 day tickets for Universal too is fab!! No rush to fit the new HP area into one day because we can pop over when we want. It's just a shame they're not hoppers, or at least I don't think they are.

In response to Macraven, I wouldn't have paid for the Disney resort mugs but we have them for free because we're on a dining plan. We were never at our resort to fill the mugs and the food court closed at 12, so no filling it when we returned from the parks.

The 14 day tickets are park to park.

Most definitely will stop by afterward and share pics.

Look forward to your pics KS......hope you have a blast

A very soggy (freezing rain) hello!

 

[clsteve]

You know folks, there are almost too many reasons to count why going to Uni in the middle of January is such a great thing - rates, crowds, and on, and on.

But, there's this one huge negative - flu season - and DS11 just came down with it - and we leave Friday - with DS8 and DW in the danger zone (I already had it back in the middle of December).

All three had their flu shots, so this is that strain that the flu shot isn't covering, go figure.

Sorry, had to vent, but wish us luck (and antibodies....)

 

[macraven]

A very soggy (freezing rain) hello!

well, your weather is no fun at all !!!
don't you hate being on the road driving in freezing rain?



don't answer, i can read your mind and you are saying yes....


stay warm and dry Lynne G!

 

[macraven]

to clsteve....

glad you stopped by to chat.

newbies always welcome here!
even when they have the flu


hope you don't have any problems in flying this friday.
maybe son will be past the worst part of the flu by then.

one of my sons had the flu and it dragged on for him about 6 days.
he had the flu shot but like you said, what is going around now is a different strain of it.

hope the MLK weekend doesn't bring in crowds to the park for youse.

if you stay on site deluxe, express will make it worth it for the family.


go and have loads of fun!

sending you mummy dust for good health and weather and low crowds and no btg....

Glad to stop by! I just wish it was a much more fun reason to do so.....


And thanks for the M Dust! - and we do have some leeway if the rest of the family gets the bug. Our current sched takes us to Sarasota Springs to visit my MiL over the holiday weekend and then on to RPH for a week.

Worst case, we can look at delaying the trip 3 days, going to Uni first, and then visiting Sarasota after Uni.

It just messes up the kid's time out of school, flight change fees, etc. But what can you do. We all have to deal with one of these trips at some point...

And, now don't get me wrong here - I really enjoy time with my MiL. We've always hit it off. But, it's just better for the Psyche to end the vacation with Uni, if you know what I mean....

you are preaching to the choir here.......

i have 4 sets of relatives that live in florida.
up to now, i have always avoided going to see them as my vacation are the parks, not sitting around chatting with the families.....

i do love the relatives but when i go to orlando, i'm on a mission....
i always say i will make a separate trip just to hit the family in florida but never do.

probably will hit them up this year sometime on a separate trip.
i'm in the process of taking my parental units to florida this year.


hope all in your family stays well and you don't have to alter your plans at the last minute.
but, having someone sick, being in the park isn't fun at all.

Ugh this tooth!

48 hours later and the antibiotics are doing squat! My face is more swollen and the pain is agonizing. I just took a Percocet an hour ago and its barely taking the edge off. I made an appointment for tomorrow and they better yank this thing out!

i know your pain.
tooth pain suxs.

i am assuming it is a back molar and not one of your front teeth you have the infection in.

the grinder teeth usually wear out first.

sometimes a doc will pull a tooth if you have been on antibiotics for a couple of days.
less chance of infection spreading to the other roots

take another percocet and ibuprofen so you will get relief from the pain and inflammation
can you use a cold compact to relieve the facial swelling?


i had a molar go bad but it broke off at the gum line.
it's much easier to yank the tooth and it come out all in one piece than to cut the gum and pic out the roots.

instant relief once tooth is out.
well, not really instant but you'll feel a whole lot better later.


hope you make it thru the night without severe pain.

 

[KStarfish82]

This tooth has had 3 root canals in 12 years.....its always been a problem and I am pushing them to just yank it. I also want them to yank it because I do not want to have problems with infections when I become pregnant again.

Thanks for the well wishes and let's hope relief will come quickly!

 

[macraven]

that was a lot of work you went thru on the root canal on that tooth.



hope the doc yanks it out tomorrow.

sleep well and painless tonight kfish...

 

[Lynne G]

Hope Kfish finds relief with her tooth. Waiting for pictures of Christopher. He's a great age to interact with the characters.

Hope clsteve and family get better before their trip. Our family is now sharing a cold and sore throat. It's that time of year.

Rain has left, but not the cold. Only snow showers today.

Saw the line up for Uni's Mardi Gras. Looks like some good shows.

Have a great day everyone!

Needing a very hot cup of tea this morning.

 

[schumigirl]

Kfish......hope by now you're all sorted with the tooth gone and you're pain free

Lynne........hope your weather is not too bad



We have snow, gritters came out late.....as usual........we are right beside the sea so don't get it too bad usually but it's fairly heavy.......and Thunder and lightning too Roads in next village on the hill is bad, much worse than us......don't need to go out tomorrow if we don't have to.


How do you lose a giant Jenga set?

I bought it last year and it comes out now and again when we have a certain group of friends round. So, they're coming Saturday night and I went to get it out of the attic.........can't find it anywhere. No one remembers putting it away last time and we've looked everywhere it's not exactly small

So, hope all is good with everyone

 

[KStarfish82]

Hi all!

So went to the dentist and the dentist was shocked that my swelling had not gone down at all! So they decided to yank the already broken and crumbled tooth. Oy! The procedure was not so bad, but the aftermath....

Between the infection (which should now clear) and the pulling, the right side of my mouth feels like it went through the war

He said take Tylenol for the pain......sure, luckily I have some leftover Tylenol with Codeine left over the the back injury Now I have to sit with cold vegetables on my face to help reduce swelling.

Hopefully by this time tomorrow I will look and feel a little more normal!

 

[macraven]

Kfish, glad to read the dentist saved the day for youse.


you gonna cook the frozen bag of peas for dinner tonight?

 

[tink1957]

Hi

Kfish...ouch ...hope you feel better soon..at least you have some good drugs to get you thru it. I always have to go to an oral surgeon to get my teeth pulled because I have tangled up roots in the back molars not fun or inexpensive.

Carole...hope you find your Jenga...maybe someone borrowed it and forgot to tell you.

Lynne...wishing you warm weather but probably the only way any of us will get it is to get on a plane to the darkside....Mardi Gras sounds good

I had to buy a new battery for my car yesterday since the cold we had last week didn't agree with it. Now I have to wait to book our fall trip at RPR for a few weeks but at least I have my dates set ...Sept 30 - Oct 7. I know it's early but I like to get it done so I can dream about Orlando when I have a bad day or it's 10 degrees outside.

Happy hump day...where's the camel?

 

[schumigirl]

KFish.......glad you for sorted with the tooth, you should be back to normal today I hope

Hey Vicki.........not too early to book.......we had this year's trip sorted out and booked before we left RP last year.........
sorry about the car battery though..........no one seems to have borrowed the Jenga.......it's a hard thing to lose


I would like to wish our lovely son a very Happy 21st Birthday

Where did that time go? So proud of him

Having chinese takeout tonight and having a kind of party Saturday night......he didn't want a proper party so I've invited a load of people over and said its a get together not a party......lol.......

Snow has cleared but my goodness it's cold........

Happy Wednesday

 

[Bluer101]

At least kfish got her mouth straighten out. Chinese , yum! Oh by the way..... This is for tink.
