Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

Heck....We'll spend a day & one/half in line for Butterbeer! (On that note...Does anybody else think there should be an "Express Pass" Line for Butterbeer purchases!)

HAHAHA go in the hogshead the line is usually much shorter. Or the hopping pot

The renewal rate will help drop those numbers
My AP was up for renewal but I did it early for $237? Something like that
And the figure I paid included taxes

I have seen a few posts here and there plastic could come back
Don't know it they will be like the ones they did back in 2002 with pictures like the one I have

Tyvek is icky

Idk ive only see the back redesign that's supposed to be happening. They accidentally posted it online not too long ago and supposively pulled it. Idk. I don't see the point of the picture honestly. Seems like a lot of unneeded work for GUest services

By using the photo of the one that owns the AP, made it a great way for catching those from borrowing ap's to enter the park

I've heard many years back of friends chipping in to buy one AP then sharing it

Hotels use the self made ep cards
For a reason

Yeah, but it can't be easy to do now with the finger print, right? I completely understand the picture for non-finger print entrance. But our paper ones don't have pictures and they aren't seeming to have a problem with people sharing. I'm wondering when they're going to start putting finger print scanners on the coke machines
My friend had trouble getting into the park on the second day of using his pass because his fingerprint wouldn't scan. The guy had to check his ID and reset it for him. Turnstile guy wasn't very happy and kept telling him he wasn't using the same finger. I know he did because we had a discussion about which finger to pick because you have to use the same one every time. Lordy lordy

I just can't imagine the headache that it would be to get everyone a new pass with their picture. Can you imagine the lines
I do wish I could find my old plastic pass. It was only valid for two years... kinda wish I could still use it. Kinda don't care.

i had to do the fingerprint for my ap.
but when i did it, i used my left hand not the right.

each time i go thru the turnstile, they say put your right index finger here....

i do and it doesn't take.
then i tell them i use my left finger.
and it works.

one time it did not work at all and they had someone walk me to guest services inside the park.
no issue with the fingerprint with the machine there.


i prefer the hard plastic cc style of the ap.
it fits in my lanyard nicely and i can show it easily thru the lanyard.
the tyvek ep, well, i'm glad it isn't something that is reusable for another trip.
but, it is a cheap way for UO to have it done for ep and the ap's they have now.

tink only issue you would have if you did find your plastic card, it would not scan.
bar code changed over to a new system once they did away with the old ap's.
mine is in the system now so i no longer have the rejection of my ap.
the first ap's had i think 6 or 8 numbers on them.
numbers now are very long.....

i found it to be a very boring night on tv...
started watching the voice and zoned out during it.

weather today was lovely and due for rains thur/fri most likely.
i need the rain for my flowers so this is something i am looking forwards to.

tried to read back and i think all are healthy again.

Crap!!!!!!!!!!!

Uggggh. This is what I get for falling off the SAN wagon. I meant to grab one for my daughter early to help spread out the costs (the rest of us have renewals) Hate that I missed it by 1 day. Oh well. If we are going back to plastic I think it is may be worth it. 10 ish is not horrible but still. Grrrrr. I was so close.

@tinydancer09 I am this close to flying next time. I live in GA and those drives back are horrid. But now that the baby is 2 it costs sooooo much to fly I just keep suffering through it.

@macraven hope you are getting some rest and feeling better.

 

[macraven]

thanks homie doing much better...



so glad you found your way back here to us..

remember, once a homie, always a homie....




to all the homies here, goNDmay9 used to live on this thread......
even though she is not a newbie, want to spread the mummy dust and say, back home!

 

[BagOLaughs]

Arnt plastic passes like way better then paper ones? I would think after a year paper would be like major damaged unless you were really particular about keeping it in a plastic case, which in that case you might as well just have a plastic card. Lol

Lynne, I love love love kitchen aid but it's a bit out of my price range. I'm going for a top/down combo because that's all I've got space for and I prefer it because it puts the fridge at a nice height.

Pretty much decided with Martin to get the Bosch one. Partly because it's supposed to be reliable, being German and all. And the LG one needed a special kit to reverse the door. Once you factor that into the price it ends up being about the same price as the Bosch.

Wednesday! Hump Day. I saw last Wednesday something came up on Facebook about it. Haha. It reminded me of this thread.

Rachel we have some Bosch products.......never had anything go wrong with them. Washer is Miele, but used to be a Bosch and lasted years. Even bought a Bosch iron recently.......didn't even know we could buy large goods from KA in the Uk. I know we can get all the smaller appliances, but never seen the larger ones offered. Then I never looked. Have fun choosing.......


Wednesday already...........

My friend just popped in to borrow my vacuum.......hers has broken and new one doesn't come till Friday.........she came in, ate half a pack of biscuits, a doughnut and drank a can of fanta..........said she missed breakfast......thing is she`s slim......really slim and eats everything in sight.......had a mooch to see if she missed anything picked up vacuum and left......lol

Told her I`d have more doughnuts if she brings it back tomorrow...........she`ll be back!!

 

[Lynne G]

That's too funny Schumi. We had a birthday celebration with cake and ice cream yesterday. I told my coworker, nothing wrong with ice cream for breakfast. No, I actually had a bagel.

And since it is Wednesday, Keisha needs her camel fix:

Cooler morning, but oh what a beautiful sunrise. I need my shades already. Rain to come tomorrow, with a cold front coming in later today. So sad, will be in the 60's the next couple of days. Glad I still have not put away some of my sweaters.

BagO, that's okay, I hope you find one you can afford and like. I get sticker shock at more and more places now. Many places don't have stock of appliances. They want you to order online. I'd rather take with me most of the time. Hope the rest of the house is getting into shape.

Mac, hope you are feeling better and better. And speaking of online ordering, did you check out IKEA Mac?

 

[Lynne G]

AP's went up today....

and the bearer of bad news. Thanks for the heads up though PC.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne.......sounds good!! Ice cream I could probably eat anytime........not that I have eaten it for breakfast but could I think! I prefer pancakes and bacon. Or toast.


She's just brought vacuum back, told her I hadn't been out for more doughnuts yet! So the other half pack of biscuits is gone now.........what a girl. She's a good slim friend.....she is not one of these people who always complain they think they're fat when they're blatantly not.........don't like folk like that.......

Now I need to vacuum.

We are having the most beautiful weather last couple of days........warmish and very sunny......hope it stays that way over the weekend........would be nice.

 

[keishashadow]

lynne - how'd u get my old glamour shot?

carole - what- no doughnuts? I am lusting for a piece of boulangerie's cheesecake.

should have one more nice day before the much needed april showers head in here. was a nice run indeed, tinkered with 80 degrees one day.

re AP's, don't get in line behind megeneral apologies to all. I'm one of those shifty characters whose fingerprints don't 'read', same as at WDW...too much trolling the internet must've worn them off. Always have my photo ID in hand when approaching the turnstyle, but do miss the old card w/photo, they'd usually just glance & wave me thru.

will renew DH's PAP in few weeks when there, a month prior to his expiration date. Wonder if they'd let me do mine to before the inevenitable renwal price hike?

 

[Kivara]

Morning all! And HIYA goNDmay9! Got to get to the kiddos school for a meeting, just passing through. (Had to get my camel pic fix! hehe)

I have to post this one (love Yosemite Sam!)

 

[schumigirl]

Keisha......I'm whooping here visualising you as a shifty person..........lol.......Dick Dastardly is in my mind now........the epitome of shifty........

DS is just home........he brought me in a box of maltesers........aww, bless, said since I'd been a bit off colour yesterday I deserved a little treat! Yum! Mine.........


Laundry all dry after a day in the sun........

 

[macraven]

Such cute pics this morning

Camel with lipstick ......lol

 

[macraven]

Rachel, buying kitchen stuff is always a dreaded chore for me

If I buy appliances then I have to use them which means cooking all the time and cleaning all the time

Did buy a fridge in January as the one in the house stopped working
Do have to replace the Dw, stove, and microwave this year as they are on their last legs

No wonder the seller left them in the house
The fridge died two weeks after we moved in

I agree that the plastic passes are better than the tyvek ones
So not to overload my UO wallet with lots of cards I would put the hard plastic cards in my bra
Tyvek would probably stick to sweaty skin so that would be out for me

 

[goNDmay9]

It always feel so good to come home!!!

@Lynne G love the lashes on that CAMEL!

@BagOLaughs let us know how it all works out. @macraven we are using the existing appliances the sellers left in the house. i swear we have the LONGEST dishwashing cycle known to man. I wish I could afford to change them out.
T
Those paper APs are impossible! Get caught in the rain once and they are done for. One of ours had to get replaced because the barcode blurred. They told me they would give us ONE for free and then it would be a fee to replace after that. Soooooo - you expect me to keep up with this piece of paper for multiple years in pristine condition?? We had already had it two years at this point.

@schumigirl okay - i tried using the context clues... .had a mooch to see if she missed anything picked up vacuum and left......lol.. Does that mean she looked around to see if there were any more pastries, saw none and decided to leave?? BTW - i am using the word mooch in a sentence this week.

@keishashadow you and i should plan our trips accordingly - if we were to go at the same time i think attendance would drop. I fail the fingerprint scanner at both the motherland and the darskide! My dad has an issue too. i follow all the directions i promise!

@Kivara Yosemite!!! YAY!

back to work...

Lol........that made me laugh........I sometimes use words and don't think they may not be generally used words in the States.........yes, mooch means exactly that........it's a word I use a lot!! Usually when DH is searching through cupboards or cookie jars to find goodies........I ask what he's mooching for.......

My friends are very comfortable coming into my home and mooching for goodies

Same if someone is after borrowing something from you, anything from shoes, handbag or goodies......they're on the mooch!!

I used it once on here years ago and said we were mooching around the park.......just meaning walking around slowly looking in shops and stuff.......one guy who had about 2 posts said that wasn't a word he had ever heard of and I shouldn't use it.....lol......yeah ok......wonder what happened to him.........
