Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Dead as a door knob here.....

lol


Keisha, have fun at the motherland!

I was waiting to go back out for another errand today and now skies look like a shower is passing over...

I did my running around earlier today and forgot to stop to pick up a prescription.
Well, yesterday I forgot to get the prescription so this is day 2 of not picking it up.

 

[schumigirl]

Popping in before I head to bed..........

Been writing most of the night, helping with an article for the University..........my brain is melting!!

Think my dh is very keen on new Dyson..........think he may want to do all the vacuuming from now on....... Must say it is fabulous..........light and easy to use, especially with no cord.

Yawning my head off now.........

Stoped atresort desk this morn to add CC & MB info to room

Onto mgm, scored prime time for lunch & ride our favs. Slinky down again today for hours

Gave up waiting for room ready text and headed back to rom 1-1/2 hrs ago. Locks broken on our room. Got sick of waiting for maintenance after an hour and pounced on housekeeping lol.

A person finally shows up a half hour later, knocks on door and says their phone system is down. Um ok, Good of an excuse as any. They could only get one MB to work. Told to stop at desk for room keys JIK

Thinking if I do security may very well be summoned not sure why I’m so irritated.

Every time I stay at sports have some sort of annoying issue with the room I’ve booked. Didn’t even get an ‘I’m sorry for your unconvenience’ from the handful of people I’ve dealt with at sports. Glad to be moving on tomorrow

Nappie time and DVC party at Epcot later woot

Got the front yard cut but unfortunately I found 4 fire ant mounds in spite of having treated the entire yard earlier this year. I didn't see one of them until I felt the bites on my feet. Now I have around 20 bites on my feet calves and a few on my hand from brushing them off I give up...time to hire someone ...I'm getting too old for this stuff.

I don't have any tequila....time to break out the Jack

My youngest DS wound up in ER after afire ant got him in our room at RPH when he was a tween. Never saw somebody swell up that much from s bug bite

If u hadn’t developed s tolerance to them living in the south, probably would’ve really been touch & go for you Glad to heAr ur ok

Robo...….Nope, no real worms in any bottles here!!!! Gummy worm....maybe......lol

Vicki.....glad you got your grass mown, but ouch!!!! Glad you had Jack to help out...……

Lynne, glad you got fed and have full tummies!!!!

MonyK sounds a busy day......hope your weather gets better soon and enjoyed a nap or two!!!! Naps are wonderful...….

Charade......yep, I might manage a picture or two of the sombrero/poncho look...…..maybe!!!!

mac...…. Bet you don't miss flooded basements!!



Wednesday rant!!!!

So, our vacuum cleaner gave up the ghost...….so went down to buy a new one this morning...…..vacuum cleaners have changed over the years!!!! I knew I wanted another Dyson, but did I want a rollerball, cordless or something else we saw I have no clue what it actually was......I just want a vacuum cleaner.

Long story short, we bought Dyson`s brand new cordless......time will tell.

But what an awful experience making the darn purchase...…..do you want to pay it over 18 months.....no thanks we`ll just pay it today......she then tried to persuade us to take out this 18 months interest free......no thank you, we just want to pay it today.

Do you want the extra protection for almost half the cost of the vacuum.....a very firm no thank you, we`ll just buy a new one if something happens out with the guarantee......….her reply, are you sure because...….I stop her there and tell her no thank you. She tries again.....at this point I`m starting to get annoyed...….she finally realizes she isn't getting any extra profit out of us there...…

Are you needing to upgrade your mobile phones.....no thank you. Oh we can give you a good deal......no thank you. Can we give you a quote for cheaper gas and electric...…..by this time my head was almost exploding ...….I just want to buy the flipping vacuum cleaner!!!! I stop her there and tell her this is why folks shop online...……I politely tell her unless she takes payment right now with no more questions we`re off...…..

She takes the payment while grumbling she`s only trying to save us money!!!! Yes, of course you are...…..

What a carry on.

We do get the Dyson and on the way out the manager asks how our experience was this morning...…..so I tell him...….he wasn't interested. They make money out of selling anything they can to consumers...…..but from now on, it`s online shopping for me. I really just wanted to see the thing before I bought it.....

This was one of our main chain electrical stores, not a little dodgy store.

Vacuum is now charging...….

Meanwhile hung out two large loads of laundry as it is hot and breezy...…..too darn breezy....it`s blowing a hoolie and my washing is wrapping itself around the lines!!!!

Time for early lunch I think...……

Have a great Wednesday...…………...

But have you done the test and sucked up s bowling ball with it? Lol. Inquiring minds need to know

What a headache Janet!!! Hope all your woes are sorted out.......and yes, glad you’re moving on........

If I had a bowling ball I would.........with toes well protected!!!

Enjoy rest of your trip and hope it is issue free.......

Nothing like getting the unpleasantries out if the way lol. Nowhere to go but up

I expect my share of issues, it’s how they respond that ultimately shapes my opinion. They struck out

Shouldn’t have to haunt them to get results. Not the type to march to desk and start whining to get their attention. That’s ok, plenty of other options out there next time I need to book a room thru WDW resorts CRO

 

[Lynne G]

Janet, had the same issue at the Poly last year. Took them until 1:30am to fix our door reader. I was not a happy camper, as had to get a manger open the door for us three times, promised to be fixed at 4:00, one hour after we checked in. Older one felt sick when he returned from MK at 9, and had to go to the manager to let him in. We all fell asleep by 1am, only to hear a loud knock at 1:30am, we were checking out later that morning. We left the room shortly after 11am. Kids now refuse to stay there.

Glad you got all straightened out.

 

[Tgrgrl]

Hey Everyone, so how does a cordless vacuum work? I’m too lazy to google it right now. Is it on a charging station? Half the excitement of vacuuming is accidentally running over the cord & worrying if it’s going to get sucked up enough to rip out from the outlet. Hehe

I’m jonesing for that peanut butter pie now. A recipie for chocolate lasagna keeps popping up in my FB newsfeed so I may have to just have a chocolate cooking day soon. Like tomorrow.....

Janet, travel issues are the worst! Glad they seem to be ok now. The weather over here is beautiful beachside so hopefully it’s nice over your way too.

I don’t have anything else to chat about, I’m boring today. Cats are fine, dinner is done & kids are finishing homework. Husband is at the gym so I may make a small cocktail & call it a day. Have a great night!!!

 

[Robo56]

Good evening Sans family

Keisha glad to hear you all made it safely to WDW. Hopefully that’s the only issue you have on this trip.
Have a great time at your DVC get together this evening.

Couple of years ago I made reservations for POP and paid for room upgrade. I called 3 days before we left and told them I would be in late on the day of arrival. I was assured there would be no problem. When we arrived I was told by Resort desk person that they gave my upgraded room away and there’s were no upgrade rooms left. She offered no apologies and I told her I wanted the money I paid for upgrade back since I would not be getting an upgraded room. She was sarcastic and it was not a Magical experience at all.

Tink sorry to hear you got bit by those pesky fire ants

I received my initiation to the fire ants about 3 months after we bought our home in Florida. I truely understood why they call them fire ants, because as you know it burns like heck where they bite. Then the bite sites blister up with pus....then weep......Hope the Jack helped.......I used benedryl and Cortisone on my bites.......I had heard folks say to mix baking soda and water and make a paste to put on them, but that did not work for me.

I found out that one ant can bite multiple times and like Mac said, when hill is disturbed they move and build a new one. We have a lawn company that service our yard to keep them under control.

Hope they heal up soon and the pain isn’t to bad.

Lynne I’am looking forward to visiting the roof top bar at Aventura too. For sure take pics if you go and tell us how you liked it.

Keisha- So sorry to hear about the hotel issues!! Very frustrating indeed! Have a great evening at the EPCOT party!

I’m jonesing for that peanut butter pie now. A recipie for chocolate lasagna keeps popping up in my FB newsfeed so I may have to just have a chocolate cooking day soon. Like tomorrow.....

Chocolate lasagna?? I would love that!!

cats are fine, dinner is done & kids are finishing homework. Husband is at the gym so I may make a small cocktail & call it a day. Have a great night!!!

That's great news all around!

A cocktail sounds divine!!

So excited!! Tomorrow Troy flies in from Orlando!! All of the big furniture is in a storage unit. It will be nice to have him home for a while! Joe and I will go back in a few weeks to get the rest of his things out of his apartment and into storage- and turn the apartment keys in! I think I need to go grocery shopping!!

 

[ckmiles]

Good Evening!

Im relaxing on the sofa tonight- was going to do some cleaning but I sat down. Now I wont get up- until bed time.

I had the cordless Dyson and ended up returning it- not a fan, as it did not clean as well as I expected.

Keisha- I agree that hiccups on vacation happen but the response is what makes or breaks it. Disappointing the mouse did not handle it better. Glad to hear its not tarnishing your trip!

Tink- sorry to hear about the fire ants- that sounds very painful. I hope you feel better soon!

Waving hi to Tgrgrl and Lynne and Robo and Mac!

Hope everyone has a great night.

 

[Robo56]

Ckmiles, Mac, pattyw, Lynne, Tgrgrl, Charade


Keisha is partying at Epcot


Schumi is sleeping


Monyk hope you have your foot propped up.


Tink hope the burning on those bites is easing up some.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Everyone has gone to bed except me and Caspian. He is currently curled up next to me on the recliner. I took a nap this afternoon, so I will be up for a while.

Think my dh is very keen on new Dyson..........think he may want to do all the vacuuming from now on....... Must say it is fabulous..........light and easy to use, especially with no cord.

How long does it run on a charge? I don’t think my dh has ever touched the vacuum.

I’m jonesing for that peanut butter pie now. A recipie for chocolate lasagna keeps popping up in my FB newsfeed so I may have to just have a chocolate cooking day soon. Like tomorrow.....

Ooh, chocolate lasagna sounds good.

I just set up an appointment for mold inspection for our basement. We didn’t think that we had gotten any water in the carpeted rooms, but B mentioned having wet carpet about a week after the flooding happened. We have a small room in the basement - too small for a bedroom - where she has an art desk and piano. We call it her “studio”. The room has a funky smell right now. One of my coworkers suggested checking for mold. We were planning on eventually removing the carpet and replacing it with some sort of flooring. We may end up doing that sooner than planned.

 

[schumigirl]

Tgrgrl, yes it goes in a “docking station” to charge..........I was wondering what the heck I was buying at one point!!! Tom moved some electrics yesterday and it’s now very conveniently placed in the cupboard under the stairs.......

It is fabulous!!! Will never have another vacuum with a cord again..........the power on this is excellent......

Janet......yes, it’s how they deal with problems!!! Have fun tomorrow..........

Ckmiles..........this one cleans with amazing suction!! I vacuum every other day (whether it needs it or not) there’s only 3 of us and we don’t make a lot of mess........but even I could see the difference from the old classic Dyson........it has a much smaller plastic cylinder for holding “dust” but it’s the brand new version from Dyson........I’m a bit of a clean freak according to some ........and with a couple of goes yesterday we were delighted with it.......And it goes under some of the furniture units that don’t move easily which the standard vacuum didn’t.........I’m a fan!!! And it’s so light!!!

Charade the charge on the newest one is an hour. Older model was I believe either 30 or 40 minutes........doesn’t take me an hour so it’s ideal.


Up early as DS is leaving early for work today, just 40 minutes earlier.......and guys are calling to say what time they are picking up the garden furniture we ordered that’s just too small.......it was delivered around 7am so wouldn’t be surprised if they called early again........although more likely it’ll be later........

Breakfast in an hour or so...........it’s quite cool today......not a nice day at all.........

A nap sounds good already............

[buckeev]

Not so sure about that, but thanks!
It's kinda-sorta a bizness-ish trip. (But I may or may not have both my "Northside & Southside" APs with me.

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! Schumi's up and perky, sorry for not such a nice day, but hoping all will be good after breakfast. Happy Thursday, indeed.

Another big WOOT! Buckeev is on the road, and has APs burning in his pocket. Safe travels and have some great fun.

Keisha, how was the EPCOT soiree? Busy? Hope all is better and fun is the word of the day.

And speaking of fun, hope Bobbie and gang are having an awesome time riding those coasters by the lake.

Lest you think I don't think of the weather, here's our weather report, with a bit from the news guy right before him, it's Thursday, that's awesome, the week-end is loading up, and the feel like temp today is 100. Clouds and sun, no rain, but excessive humidity today, but no rain. Chances of rain for the next three days, when another front arrives from the South.

Um, clouds start to the day, lights on the whole ride. Almost cool at 79, but you can feel the moisture in the air already. But not only a very bad hair day, but one that drinks are needed routinely. So fitting, it's Thirsty Thursday.

hehe,

.

So, all have fun today, tomorrow is Friday, and all is right. Make it a good Thursday, and be sure to drink.

Me, tea. Yep, it's time for tea, the AC is in crank mode, so I will surely be hydrated. Later homies.

 

[ckmiles]

Good Morning!

Im at the office super early this morning because I couldnt sleep. Ugh its going to be a long day!

I have a laser hair removal appointment this afternoon- I guess thats my one thing to look forward to! And Yoga class at lunch.

My weather report - is hot and humid with a chance of rain- tomorrow supposed to get lots of rain-

Well- at least tomorrow is Friday-
