[macraven]

Yea, if I can afford to!! lol I'm also sending my mom to vegas next yr for her bday. but since im not going to HHN for the rides, I don't have to stay onsite, but will budget in the FOTL pass for the houses. when do yall usually plan the trip?

don't laugh but i book my room january 1 or 2 each year for the october stay.

i buy my tickets when they go on sale on line.


the express pass is the fotl for hhn houses and rides.
they can only be used once per night.

i do the same, i booked my sept trip this yr in Feb., and last yr booked in March for an August trip. So.....if you stay onsite, do ur keys still work as express for HHN, or is this negated due to the high crowd level? how long do u usually stay? and what part of the week? bombardment!!! (random Simpsons reference)

 

[bubba's mom]

BTW, Barb who ya voting for?

voting for who in what? I can't remember...

I'm kinda surprised that the TF hasn't nabbed that crab quote......

You're just itching to be tagged with crabs...ain'tcha??? (is 4 the limit?)

question time

I like pistacio pudding sometimes. If i make it, can it last a couple of days in the fridge if i put it in individual servings?

wouldn't see why not?

You're sweet, blind, & have fantastic hair too.

Maybe that's the tag fairy's way of saying you're always here & never shut up.

What do you guys mean.... I'm not a yakker....i wuz quiet today

j/k You know I luv ya.

We are also going to do Aquatica

I would like to request TWO maps of each park please...will pay ya for shipping when I see you in July

Thanks

Yes...the starter went bad. The labor was as much as the part. I KNEW I should have gone to the tech classes in high school.

Sorry to hear of yer troubles....kinda makes ya wish you bought a new car when you first shopping around and thinking about it...huh...

You're in good company here. Most of us have no life.

i'm in that minority

No, just green. That was bad enough. That was a nice catch though

It's 'what I do'

The truth is I finally realized that when mom & dad said it would hurt them more than us, they meant it. I just couldn't make myself do it.

I had great parents. They didn't beat on us by any means. Dad spanked me 3 times, & I still haven't done those things again. We knew they loved us. They never went anywhere w/o us. To be honest, they just did a better job disciplining us than we have done with Kenny. They put their feelings aside, & tried to do what was best for us in the long run.

nobody said 'parenting' was easy

I have a prayer request. Kenny's girlfriend has been really down & he's worried about her. He & Kenneth are gone to her house now to see her. He can't phone her. I posted earlier what she's goes through. Please, pray for her.

got it That is such a shame....it's good she has him...she really needs him and how wonderful he is to be there for her... It's real easy to dump the baggage, but he is truly there for her...keep us posted...

hehe...i just remembered to take my panties out of my purse....

What a day - MIL crashed her power wheelchair into the huge fish tank at the nursing home. Luckily neither the fish or gram suffered any damage.

Yesterday she crashed into her bed and caught the oxygen tank (on the back of the chair) on the tv that is mounted on the wall and ripped off all the wires, put a big gouge in the wall and broke the light switch cover.

DH is going down there tomorrow and bringing home the power chair and getting her a regular wheelchair.

okay....that was REALLY close to needing to change my pants!!

Yea gads, this thread is like a full time job! Who do I see about getting paid to keep up with it???!!!!!

I don't know...but if you find them, tell them they aren't getting paid enuf for it!

First, "I just remember to take my panties out of my purse" should be a TAG.

Second, I'm getting a mental picture of your MIL as a granny version of Speed Racer. Okay, it's gone now. I hope you get everything sorted out for her. You guys have really gone above and beyond to get her settled and cared for.

I agree with both of those....you cannot imagine the image in my head of MIL buzzin' around bouncin' off of everything like a pinball

(sorry Sharon...not funny what she's going thru...but the "image" in my head was funnie....)

She drove a school bus for 30 years!

holey moley!

Hey - everybody that just came on tonight.....

did you see my tag!!!!

It's so cool.

Yes...I did!! CONGRATS!!!! (see, next time you won't be MIA for so long...hhmmmm....)

YAY Penny....another great to add to our book!!! AWESOME one this time!!!

The movie was good. We went to see Horton, if you forgot.

Dinner after was Sonic. Bleech. His choice not mine. We made it home in enough time to medicate him and now everyone is in bed.

Payroll is done. The rest of the bookkeeping will have to wait because I would make too many mistakes tonight.

So, a good day all in all. I'm wearing my new butt ugly Wal-Mart pjs. They are soooo comfy.

Happy to hear you enjoyed the movie....will have to watch it when it becomes available to me.... Sounds like Joshua had a 'better' time w/ Mom...got his dinner of choice!! So...you gonna show us a pic of you in your new butt-fugly walmart pj's (I got Thing 1 pj's....)

With all of this not taking panties out of the purse talk, I'm thinking one thing .............CALLING DR. PHIL!

That's funny....I was thinking about 'another drink'......

Of course they realize they'll have to make those ADR's at least 18 years in advance...it IS Disney after all.

Yep....that doesn't happen at Universal.



"Oh...there's a 45 minute wait? Well, <flashes roomkey> I'm a resort guest."

"Oh you are? Sorry...that'll be 10 minute wait then."

That's why we prefer to take our chances and *gasp* not make any ADR's - if we don't get to eat at a certain place because it's full, we'll just go elsewhere .... no biggie

Long story short: Couldn't get LeCellier adr for Jan. 31...only like 8pm open. I had a plan and it worked perfectly. Decided to swing by LeC at 3:55 (the time lunch ends and dinner begins). I was about 4th in line and noticed the peeps ahead of me getting tables w/o adr's. So, my turn and I asked if they had any room for 3? She said "last table" or "one more after you left"...something like that (refer to TR link in sig for Jan/Feb trip). Anywho....they must not book/take adr's for the time right before dinner opens up....good time to try w/o adr.

Yea gads, the board is moving a little slow for me tonight. Disregard this post. I'm not here.

okay

 

[bubba's mom]

Okay...before I turn in....

I'd like to welcome all the noobies
Please do not feel insulted I have not addressed you each by name.....

To all you other regular/original redheads out there.....

It would seem my schedule does NOT permit me to keep up anymore....I can read, but simply cannot reply to each person/post like before. Please do not be offended if I don't say "hi" or address you personally, but it just may not happen. For that...I'm sorry.

For those who don't know, I work 6 days a week between 2 jobs. My 9 yr old is very active in soccer (pretty much year round) and karate. He has one or the other every night...only free day is Sunday (but, that is my laundry, cleanin' up, runnin' around, spend time w/ family and food shoppin' day..... )

So, I am not being rude, I am just very short on time...and with spring finally starting to peek around the corner....that means yardwork....and lots of it. Need to get it ALL done before our vacation at the end of June.

So, if you need me, best PM or email....as, I may not catch it on the thread

Jodie....I'll take a 'permanent' "Free Pass" thingy now

Again...welcome to all our new friends....

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

we left the cameras in the room last year due to fear of rain......

i took the camera for the day tour. still need to post those pics....snap

Yep then it didn't rain

Yes you do - ours are posted .... have you seen them? If not, I'll post a link to them for everyone to enjoy?

might, what is this might stuff.
you will see me there.

... yes you WILL

Yea, if I can afford to!! lol I'm also sending my mom to vegas next yr for her bday. but since im not going to HHN for the rides, I don't have to stay onsite, but will budget in the FOTL pass for the houses. when do yall usually plan the trip?

If you don't do the RIP tour, you almost need the Express Pass to see all the houses in one night

don't laugh but i book my room january 1 or 2 each year for the october stay.

We usually plan our next annual October trip on the plane back home from our current annual October trip

i buy my tickets when they go on sale on line.

... which is usually in July/August, I think - right Mac?

how long do you usually stay. If I plan it right (and don't change jobs) I will have 2 weeks of vacation. If I do CA in like Aug., I should hopefully be able to take another week in Oct. Or I can use my 2nd week from this year earlier next year (Feb/March should be pretty light crowd-wise, hopefully. I'll ask the DL board later). Anywho, I'll cross that bridge after Sept, lol.

Well the last few years we usually went down for 2 weeks (15 days actually) ... this year cutting it down to 12 ... usually the first part of October (this year 7th to 20th) ... I think Mac goes down a week before us for 2 weeks ... so we basically overlap a week

What a very nice and welcoming post, thank you Brab, for taking the time to give the warm wishes. I know it's hard to keep up with real life, I'm trying to keep up with mine!

the most i could do is 9 nights (leaving fri evening, returning on Sun). my company doesnt let us take 2 weeks at a time. but still, that's a whole other year away.

brab is super mom..........she is always busy and always nice.


i had to step away from the computer for a bit and take care of some things at home.
but i am back now...

good to see outlander here tonight.

i keep thinking of the sta puff man when i see your screen name. i do that so i won't say what name is on the tip of my tongue.
i'll pm it to you as if i say it here, one of the homies will use it.

it's a silly name that keeps crawling in my little mind.
i'm sure you will think it is stupid.


looks like the night shift is coming on now.
jodie was here but became invisible.......still can't find her.


brab, that was a sweet post you made.
i just blame my blondness for not addressing everyone on the thread.
when it is at a fast pace, i forget a lot of what i read.....oh vey.....


i'm supposed to work in the morning, be at work at 7:20 am

why do i work when i stay up too late at night........

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Well homies ... time for me to say g'night ...

Sweet dreams all

i hit the columbus day weekend for the last 5 years of my trips to orlando.
i hit the motherland for 10 nights then the darkside for the next 5 days.

what ever the columbus day weekend hits is how i plan it.

i book my room on site for universal january 1st usually.
since the dates for HHN are not out at that point, i go the 2nd weekend for planning room and air. it is a safe bet for me.

when hhn started the last few years in september, that threw me off but not a problem.
i have done 3 years of hhn on opening weekend.
usually in the past, hhn was not on a sunday for opening weekend.

i like to hit hhn at least 3 nights while i am there. in 07, hhn started on a thursday so i was able to do 4 nights in a row.
fantastic.

staying on site does not give fotl for hhn houses, rides, attractions.
the express pass is the way i go for hhn. it is costly with no ap or aaa discounts. the hhn tix are discounted by ap . so are the tours.

i forgot the rest of andy's question.

 

[RAPstar]

why do i work when i stay up too late at night........

i do the same thing all the time. tho I am going to bed not too much longer (1-2 hours tops). have to go to the bank in the morning, then going to cici's pizza because it's cheap and will fill me up for most of the day........if i can learn not to scrf down everything in site.

 

[macraven]

bonny, in most past years hhn and the express went on sale late july/early august. express can be sold out by mid september depending on the night.


last year the sales went out early.
i think i bought mine in late june.
i waited til the second week to buy so the ap rates were out then.


g' night bonny


g' night homies.


time to lock up
all green lights out....


sweet sleep

cool. ill keep that in the back of my mind somewhere. and prolly bring it up again in '09. Not sure how far in advance they'll let me ask for vacation, since we seem to have a bit of a turnover in our company lately. but i also plan on finding a new job sometime next year, so it might have to wait til 2010 (with the super crowds due to WWOHP).
