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

[KStarfish82]

Hi everyone! Hope all is well and having great trips, happy birthdays and anniversaries, and getting back in the swing of work (if you work in schools).

Solemn day here in NY as you can imagine. Hard to believe 13 years have passed even though it seems like only yesterday. I was telling the experience to my high school students, who at this point, were only toddlers when it happened. Two days before the attack, I was driving down to the beach. If the weather is clear, then you could see the city skyline. And that particular day, I remember randomly thinking to myself, "what if that wasn't there?" Who would have thought two day later that it would not be.

I have been to the memorial....beautiful and peaceful. Hope to get to the museum at some point, I heard that it is very moving.


In other news...I tested negative for gestational diabetes and all the tests for the bambino are coming back normal. I am hoping to know the sex in about a week!


Well have a good night everyone!

Thanks to those who have posted 9/11 remembrances. This day has mixed feelings for me. 9/11/2001 is etched in my memory as the day the world changed for me and mine. But 9/11/2006 is etched in my memory as the day I first became a grandmother. My daughter labored all night long as I watched footage of the towers coming down and tried to sleep on and off in the family lounge. However, my grandson, the flags flying at half mast, the patriotic displays on the interstate overpasses and stories shared by you DISers and my friends and family, the television specials remind me that this is a day of shared pain and shared patriotism. It is a re-commitment to what it is to be American. It is a day to remember that as life marches on, new joys and new sorrows will happen but in the end...the American Spirit will prevail. It cannot be vanquished. Never Forget.

Hi

Thanks to everyone for the 9/11 remembrances... we will never forget.

Hope Carole is having a blast on the darkside and the bluers & miss mikki...leave the light on for us...we'll be there soon

I can't believe that we have only 12 days to go till our trip.

I still haven't found a car but am trying to talk my friend into selling the one I've been driving for the past month. I've looked at so many crappy cars that looked good online only to discover that in person they have major flaws...guess I'm too picky for my budget..

Have a great weekend homies

Happy Friday all! May everyone have a great week-end.

Fall soccer has started, so now my week ends are soccer mom mode.

Hey everybody

Can't believe the collective we will be spending so much time at the parks soon. Pretty awesome if you think about it though... how many of us here will be in Orlando or already are.

Been busy on the home front in advance. I hit 40 (My folks sent me Tony and Ann's pizza down from MA. I was beyond impressed). Dora turned 30. Got a cat wearing the Cone of Shame (doing fine though).

Very excited to be hitting Howl-O-Scream 7 times and HHN 5 very soon. Looking forward to running around with Marquibi here in Tampa!

Headed to the other parks tomorrow to boat through some trolls. Sunday'll be a day of hard work in the garden. Veggies demand their time.

Have a great weekend all! Off to an imported pizza.

Pax

I know all of you that are at USO or will be soon will have a great time!
I dropped by Tuesday afternoon and rode a few of my favorites. However, I was going to ride RRR and was stopped heading up the stairs. The TM working that area asked me what was in the back pocket of my cargo shorts. I told her my wallet and she insisted I put it in a locker. I have never had that happened and it really pissed me off. It is in a buttoned pocket and I would be sitting on it! I have been going for years and multiple times each year. I have another onsite trip scheduled for my family of five over Christmas but, I'm thinking of cancelling. This is the first time I have ever had a bad encounter at Universal and it left a really bad taste in my mouth. Anyway, have a blast to all those there and on the way!

last time i was there, someone had their iphone in their back pocket and it shot out like a missle on RRR.
just missed a few guests on the ground.

maybe they are becoming very strict when they notice objects in the back pockets??
i just don't know.

i have gotten really pissed at some of the things that happen at the darkside when i have been there.
but, when i get past it, i don't want to deal with it anymore.
if they had an express line at guest services, i'd probably use it if i was really upset.


on one of my past trips, i had a small folding umbrella.
at the mummy i was told i needed a locker for it.
didn't like that at all so i tucked in under my back bra strap.....
i got on the ride but it was really very uncomfortable.


you could email guest services and let them know you thought the TM was out of line in what was done in your situation.
if UO knew about the little things that were aggravating for the park guests, they might work on it so it wouldn't happen to others then.
it won't change what happened to you, but you might get a response back from them.

sleep on it before you cancel your next trip.
you might feel different in another month.

you can cancel 5 days out without penalty.

Of course I won't cancel! I have to much fun with my family at the parks!
I know this can turn into an argument with some so I will drop it. I know the TM's have a job to do but....one thing I will never do is leave my wallet in a locker. So, I left and rode the ROTM again.

Enjoy HHN! Wish we could make it to meet up with all the homies!
