Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

That's so funny Keisha. My DH is absentminded with dates too. So, we got married the first day of the month, so he wouldn't forget. He still does sometimes though. LOL He didn't want to get married on Valentine's nor around Christmas. Didn't matter to me. Was colder than hell that day. And I agree with Schumi, 1992 was the best year to get married.

You got married in 92 too Lynne? I know so many people that got wed that year........we were so lucky for our wedding day..........

Sept 5th for us and every Saturday for 8 weeks leading up to our wedding was chucking it down with rain........our day was beautiful........sun shone from first thing and it was lovely and hot.......we were lucky. Next day as we prepared to fly off on honeymoon.......heavy torrential rain again........

Got beautiful outdoor pictures and video of our day........wouldn't have been the same in the rain.......

 

[Mrs bluer101]

You and Keisha share the same anniversary? I must have known that.........when is the actual anniversary?



We are September anniversary...........1992 was a good year for weddings........

Really, really cold here today.........not going out......dh is still off but heading back tomorrow......his cold is improving.......he laughed when I said it was all down to my nursing him better.........what could be mean!!!

Thursday........all day..........bbq chicken and sweet potato wedges tonight.........

Our anniversary is the 15. We got married in 1998. We didn't really want to get married by Valentine's Day but we wanted some family from up north to be there so we picked that day. I'm happy with the day.

As for pictures my other half knows I don't post them. Lol I leave that up to him. I'm not as good on the computer as he is.

Yep, it will be 24 years next week. Can't believe it sometimes. For a change, it's supposed to be 52 degrees on Monday. Would be probably 30 degrees higher than when we got married. At least it was a clear day and night. Just frigid.

Hope your DH is feeling better. Not fun to be sick when you also have some bad weather too. And lucky us, we are to get more snow this week-end. Winter is still here. LOL

He is getting better thanks Lynne ......you're brave getting married in winter!! Went to a cousins wedding back when I was a kid on Christmas Eve........was such a bad winter and we had about 3 feet of snow........she was beautiful but it was bliddy freezing!!!



We have to get another storm......Gertrude this one is called......high winds and rain........not looking forward to that.......but better than snow......

Spent ages tonight telling my friend how easy it is and how much fun it is to drive in America........I love driving in Orlando......even the busy bits........it's the only thing DH and I ever argue over.......who gets to drive........love the open roads and no roundabouts........and everything is so well signposted.......but she won't do it.....leaving it to her husband after all..........will keep trying to persuade her as I think she would be fine.......long as you remember what side of the road to drive on..........its easy over there!!

Watching old episodes of Ally McBeal...........

Funny, this thread has a ton of August BDs & Feb anniversaries. Maybe that's why we get along so well, excuse me while I have a kumbaya moment.

lynne - those gloves turn up yet? I'm down one of my favorites I thought I tossed on couch...yeah I know, everything in it's place, serves me right for not putting them away in the first place.

carole - have realized it can be a very good thang that my mr tends to forget most things.
Robo - I vaguely remember 72 degree days. Appears we are catching a big break and will have a few day of mid-50's this weekend. DS & I tried Tamiflu last winter, shocked how well it worked. I did get flu shot since my mom's nursing home insists upon it. Can't blame them, last year they lost many patients from it on my mom's floor. She was got bug due to shot being not exactly 'right', but pulled thru. Scary when the elderly and young to be so sick. I've had some stomach gunk for over a week off & on, starting to think it may be my last nerve going bad.

filed our tax return this afternoon. As soon as I did, got a request to do another. Looks like the W2s are coming out quicker this year. Shocked I had everything I needed over a week ago to file.

 

[macraven]

so right keisha, feb and aug are hot months in this thread for special days for homies.
and you have both of those months locked up.

gloves, did someone say they needed gloves.....
i opened a box and have 10 pairs of gloves i can donate to any of you.
won't be needing them anymore....

robo, wish it were that easy to take a pill and feel better fast.
i can't take tamiflu or the flu shot and quite a bit of the over the counter stuff per my internist and endo's statements.

i just suffer through the symptoms and wait it out.
i'm drinking so much water i get to sleep about 2-3 hours then up for the bathroom......lol

mrs bluer, why bother trying to learn computer things when you have mr bluer to handle it all for you.......
you have it made.

 

[schumigirl]

Ok Janet, now I have kumbaya singing in my head........least I'll have pure thoughts heading to bed tonight.......

Yes mac tamiflu isn't for everyone..........so many issues for folks on other meds or issues.........liquids and rest are hard to beat for the average person........always exceptions of course.........

I got the warmest pair of gloves ever as part of my Xmas gifts........they are toast!!! My friend got the hump as she bought me a red leather pair that don't keep you warm at all.......no competition really........I wear the warm ones when it's bitter.......other ones will be nice to go out dressed with.......

Almost bed time here..........grocery shop tomorrow.......not very exciting at all.........

 

[Lynne G]

Nah Janet, we just were all in love and wanted to be valentines to each other forever.

After a nice pink sky the dark has let us drop below freezing for the night. Time to snuggle on the couch after a good meal of Chinese food and hot tea.

Take care all, and Robo, thanks for sending some warmth.

 

[macraven]

Only a couple more weeks til waking dead is on
Quite poetic the show returns on valentines day

 

[RAPstar]

Went to see If/Then the musical last night with a college friend. It was quite enjoyable. And got to meet Anthony Rapp (from Rent, both the original Broadway cast and the movie), and Deedee Magno Hall (the voice of Pearl in Steven Universe, and was also in the 90's Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears, Timberlake, et al).

Every day I go into work I'm always slightly surprised how many people still smoke. And how bent out of shape people get over anything free. (I do customer service for Altria, who owns Marlboro, L&M, Black & Mild, Copenhagen, Virginia Slims, and some other tobacco brands)

 

[macraven]

I think if you worked for Jim Beam or Jack Daniels it would be great
Especially if you got the company freebies

Long ago now, but I did work retail. Made me never want to work that again. Yep, crazy, rude, what?, etc. is what I had to deal with.

 

[Lynne G]

Ok, it was a short week, thanks to the Storm.

Yes indeed, and another cold and snowy day. And yes, DD did return my gloves. Busy day, DD has her basketball game this afternoon, then soccer game at dinner time. I am praying the roads stay clear, as we'll be below freezing most of the day.

And, do you believe, every hotel I looked at around Sea World for Christmas break does not have availability for all the days we wanted. Ended up at the Hampton Inn. Which is now owned by Hilton, or maybe was already? Either way, that's fine, as I can cancel if I find something else. Now I guess I should be stalking rental cars. I don't remember having to book so early, Oh well. I will still see if I can get a discount for RPH or Portofino. We'd spend a few days there and then move to Sea World area instead.

Hope all are feeling better, and Mac's truck has left. Stay warm, keep dry, and relax, it's the week-end coming up!

And this should be your goal:

Can you tell I'm happy and can sleep late tomorrow?

Woke up to snow on the ground this morning, they pushed back our warm weather to sunday, i'll still take it!

andy u do lots of interesting stuffs, will have some tales to tell after working as a call rep. Smoking habit is truly insidious.

another member here of the '92 Valentines Together Forever Club

lynne - Found out one of DH's vacation weeks is mandatory over Xmas this year. Can't imagine not being home for actual holiday but starting to look later in week and having sticker shock since it's likely all the spawn would want to pile on - my dime lol. Wonder how crowded SW gets over the holidays compared to the other parks? might have to revist that oncce things settle down here. Have never priced flights during that time period either, what has your experience been?

Both rental and air fare where higher than in the summer and fall, but what can you do, it's the holidays. I've already booked hotel and car, but hoping and checking for the next couple of months to get some prices down. I found booking SW when it opens is good, then once it went down a month or so late, I rebooked and glad I did, as prices kept rising as time went on. For rental, I think the lowest price I got was in the summer, and then prices ran higher and higher too. I think all the parks bring crowds. We don't mind, we're early birds and go with the flow. We did Discovery Cove on Christmas Day last time, and it was bliss. Last year, we did SW SD, and the crowds did build as the day went on, but we still got to do all and see all that we wanted. I really like the decorations at SW. We bought the Super Grover passes again, so doing Aquadica, BGT, SW, and Discovery Cove. I think we're do Discovery Cove the day before Christmas this year. Starting to etch my plans slowly. If you do come to Orlando, we'd be up for a DIS meet. You may get to see my online gaming DS and foul mouthed DD. Oh yeah, and low and slow DH. He humors me and makes a big deal about not going, but does. He's not good with crowds or flying, but he's so good at not stressing in crowded driving. That's why I stick with Alamo and National, free second driver. I pay for the rental, he drives.

 

[keishashadow]

lynne ok doesn't sound as bad as i feared. Do you think the Dec airfare will come out in next round. I seem to recall when waiting for October, it cuts off around Thanksgiving, but not sure. used to be a thread here on the SWA release dates historically, but can't find it. We've been to DC several times, but it's been awhile. That's a smart move for guaranteed elbow room.

are you Hilton honors? did you price MVP or one of the sports' team affiliations? One or the other is usually best rate i find and they are qualifying for honors points. A new hilton property opened near SW last Nov that had low rates, can't remember which one off hand. Not much of a pool but when you have aquatica passes, really doesn't matter imo.

Ha, your kids are the norm. Even tho mine are adults I make sure to read them the riot act before taking them anywhere together, they tend to egg each other on to try and irritate me for sport.Little monsters, now bigger and badder lol. Will let you know if I get it together.

Rates i use don't give 2nd driver for alamo any longer. No costcos nearby us to make membership worthwhile. I've been using the vegas brazil code and whatever $ off coupon for rates last few years lower than i've paid in years.

 

[Lynne G]

yep Keisha, I am Hilton Honors, and got the Honors online rate for the Hampton on Sea World Drive. Suite with 2 beds and fold out sofa. HeHe, DS usually gets the sofa bed. Fee parking and breakfast. I'm sure the pool is nothing to write home about, but like you said, water park five minutes away, that we can go to as many times as we want. I'd rather be at the Residence Inn, but all booked already. I am going to keep trying, as people change their minds on hotels all the time. I may get lucky, if not, Hampton is okay. I think it's newer, right near the Hilton, and much cheaper than the Hilton. And yeah, I do have a Costco card, I have 2 within 25 minutes away. Right now I used Costco and a Visa code for one free upgrade at Alamo. Was almost $100 cheaper than National. With the kids, we need at least a midsize car. I think it stinks that Alamo took away the free driver from the insiders club. Anyway, get ready, it's a waiting game for SW. I think the December SW fares opened around June. I always stalk the transportation board and SW does list when they open on their website, so I check both frequently.

 

[schumigirl]

Robbie, I agree......always amazed how many people smoke nowadays........horrible habit........we were amazed when one of my husbands work colleagues said no one would guess he smokes........you can smell him a mile away with the cigarette smell off him! He must be oblivious!



Wind is hopefully dying down tonight...........where my mum lives the ferries in and out have been cancelled all day again today........

Wine and nibbles ahead tonight.......hopefully all cuddled up with a good movie.......

 

[RAPstar]

Knocked out 160 something emails today. Is it wrong it actually makes me care less when people talk about how "loyal" they are? Like that's gonna magically make me be able to change something in the system that's i have no way to change just for them. Idk. I'm a cranky customer service person. Which is why I'm glad I don't have to talk to them face to face lol
