[schumigirl]

Congrats Chuckers..........RPR is an amazing hotel.........I'm sure you'll love it.......

With EP sometimes it's just nice to have it even when it's not too busy......we use it every line we go through......even if there's 2 people in the regular queue........lol.......

And even in September it can get busy and some rides are always busy like Despicable Me, you'll be glad of EP with certain rides........

I can also use the single rider lines so i'll have plenty of options. RPR does look beautiful.. plus it has a water tax and a 10 minute walk to the gate.. Sa-WEET!

Just checking in so you know I'm still around. Here's a cute picture I took yesterday. We took this rat in in December. He had been coming to our bird feeders since March. He was living under our front steps and kept digging the dirt and sand out from under it. One very cold day I was unloading the car after our Universal trip and he came up and sat on my foot and looked in the door. He was cold I guess and we figured he'd freeze if we left him outside. So we managed to capture him and took him in. Got a cage and stuff but he still isn't really friendly. We'll probably take him somewhere and let him loose once it warms up.

Happy humpty day!

I'm wearing red, supporting the cause & doing squat other than making a few meals to toss in freezer. Least I have an excuse for being a slug for it today

Lynne something about that new hair do to lift the spirits.

I looked at flights in January - for September - and it was $200 round trip. I didn't book. A week later it went up $60. I booked.


I was never an alcohol drinker.. but when I did, it was the sweet drinks.. I LOVED Long Island Iced Teas, but I have no tolerance.. 1 of those and I was turning cartwheels in the middle of the street. (Seriously). I was mostly a diet Pepsi drinker. However, since I have had gastric bypass surgery, there is no room for carbonated drinks (or alcohol) in my system. So, now I am a Crystal Light Iced Tea (Raspberry preferred) drinker. I wish I liked water more, it would be much easier.

Re Long Island iced teas, it's the crappy liquor quality they tend to use in those well drinks that will lay you low

Do u do SWA for the possible price drop credits? Every little bit helps.

Atlanta is also considered North Georgia but the heavy rain skipped around to different cities

I was on I 75 when it shut down today
Pile up due to blinding rain

Usually all the pile ups are due to speed

But it is still easier driving 75 than the toll way 294/94 in upper Illinois

Another reason to never go back north again

How many times is that now? Do the surface roads, well that's if they have them down there lol

But I don't drink beer so guess will only see you at the coffee table.....

You need re-educated comrade

Wednesday came quickly this week

Trying to kill my headache with stronger coffee this morning


When is April going to deliver ?

Ouch, maybe some chocolate will help? . I'm on #4 of my cup that holds 3 cups per. No headache, just slept crappy, storms again all night. Never understood how people say they sleep well listening to rain.

Friends not food?

At least Squirlz was nicer to that rat than I would have been. We don't like the field mice that try to call our home theirs.

Yay! to Chuckers. Solo with RPR's express pass is how I do it when solo at Universal.

I drank Long Island iced teas because you really couldn't taste the alcohol. I did SWA for my last trip.. when I priced trips this time, Delta came in at the lowest.

Thanks Lynne, it's good to hear that someone else vacations the way I am going to vacation

I did not get the memo we were to wear red today

Still in my Mickey Mouse Jammies



Happy squirlz came back!

And thanks to Robo for the help

 

[schumigirl]

Have I missed something? Why are we wearing red?

I'm wearing blue......

 

[macraven]

I'm wearing blue......

Janet said she is wearing red for the cause


Have no idea what the cause is and wonder if I am missing something

All I know is today is hump day
Joe camel and all.....

 

[schumigirl]

I will be getting changed to go out tonight........I can wear red then........

Unless it's a don't eat meat or drink wine cause...........that I won't support.......

Nah.......oh wait is it National Women's Day?

 

[wagman67]

Nah.......oh wait is it National Women's Day?

Was just in a meeting where one of the women said (jokingly) they were all supposed to take off to protest not making as much as there male counterparts. I asked if any of the women in the room (about a dozen) wanted to switch salaries with me...no takers.

 

[macraven]

Out of jammies and wearing blue

I don't do "causes"
Not my thing

 

[Chuckers]

So, I made my reservation through the Universal Call Center. they have this 'new' service where they will allow you to send in a text if you have any questions. They send you a text, you respond with 'Yes' and if you need an answer, you don't have to call you can just send them a text. Well, I signed up for it. And, I had a question. I texted it and got a response almost immediately. they said they would call the hotel to get an answer to my question. About 30 minutes later, I had my response. Awesome service!

 

[macraven]

Some may like that new system but I prefer the old system

What was the old system? You can still call them....

Good Morning All! Happy Wednesday!!!

I have paid for my vacation! I upgraded to RPR to get unlimited express!! I'm so Psyched!! Although, I bet I won't need it going in September But I am happy with that!! I just need to look at any package discounts that may come out between now and then as I might be able to take advantage of them and lower my cost.

It's a wonderful day!!!

Though express isn't a need in Sept, it's still fun to walk by the people in the other line. Also, RPR is a lovely resort. That used to be our Universal home away from home. The boats are so relaxing. And if it's taking too long for the boat to come, then it says a 6 minute walk. Being so close is nice during the pop up rain storms or to escape the heat off the day easily.

I'd give up vino before red meat lol

I'm all for one supporting a cause...good, lost, or otherwise...as long as people respect each other it's all good in the neighborhood. Naturally, no political/religious discussion here, a fun place for all. Leave it at the door as they say.

Will say that red clothing makes me think of Nancy Regean and her power red dresses she favored, always thought she was such a classy dame. The first Friday in February is also a wear red day here, one near & dear to me that draws attention to heart health.

Hi all! Been a while since I have checked in so here I am! But let's face it, these are the guys you want to see!

Lucas is ONE TODAY! Can you believe it? Time goes so fast...


And Chris will be four in April and is going to preschool!

 

[tink1957]

What good looking young lads you have there kfish!

Congrats to Chuckers on booking RPR...always nice to get express.

I'm still debating on how much time to spend at the motherland so I have either 185 days or 188 days till fun time.

Airfare will be bought when SW drops their fares near Memorial day.(I hope)
