Something About Nothing #3..........

[tlinus]

Morning..... already??

Not that it helps, but it IS Friday Morning!!

Hey Penny....hows come I got plasticwear AND chips/dip duty..... That's okay....I am superMom...I can handle! (if I can't, someone catch me and take over!)

If you fall - I got yer back, homie!!

Have the house to myself..... since there was no skool yesterday & today, Ry's coach that runs his Sat. morning soccer clinic, has a mini goalkeeper camp going on Thur-Sat mornings. THREE hours (9-12noon) and it's outside... ..which would be okay if we lived near Tricia, Lori or Todd...but, we don't and it's VERY windy & chilly out there....DH wanted a 4 day weekend, so he took Thurs. off and took him yesterday and today again. (From what I understand, he is sitting in his car watching movies on his Zune ) Tomorrow he will probably go back indoors to his last 2 clinics....he missed last Saturdays game due to the clinic. (Thought he'd learn more at clinic than in the game...Coach agreed.)

Enjoy some quiet time With your schedule, it is a rarity

We had an incident Monday nite.....
So, we get an email from the teacher stating she was sorry she ran late, but heard there were not nice things said about her and she didn't deserve them?? WTH??? We never said anything bad about HER...esp. in front of Bubba....gggrrrrr..... She said she would be willing to have us come in Tues. nite (couldn't do, I was working) or a phone conference and (get this) she said she would be 'more comfortable meeting with Ryan's Mom'.... DH about went thru the roof!! He was pi**ed and I don't blame him. SHE screwed US...how is my DH the bad guy?? Okay, rant over....

WTH??!!??!! If she truly knew what was going on, she would realize its not "all about her", but about inconsiderate parents who cannot stick to their allotted time frame. Whatever

- tell Randy to shake it off, he is one of the good guys in my book

Other than that, it's been soccer, karate, working (I didn't get off from the new job for the holiday AND they fired a gal (wrongly I might add) and the new hire I trained, quit on her 2nd day....and they WANT to fire the other guy who opens the days I don't, but can't find anyone to work 'days' and ..... ...sigh...

That is alot!!! I still have to do Easter Bunny Stuff

well, off to salon today...gonna be busy cuz everyone is off work today and is coming in today instead of tomorrow......

catch ya's later....

Happy Friday all!!

Bye Barb - have a great day!!!

I'm going to have to leave soon for Joshua's class egg hunt and party.

I have to finish cleaning the house and prepping the food today and tomorrow, so wish me luck. I've done most of the big stuff... but what is left is still alot.

Oh, I almost forgot a story! I started getting out our Easter decorations yesterday. I have a resurrection set (think nativity scene, but Jesus and the tomb instead of Jesus and the manger) and when I took it out of the box, Jesus' hands fell off.

Everyone else still has hands. Jesus is the only one. If I get time, I'll post pictures. It freaked me out for awhile, but I think I'm over it.

If the hands are back on when you come back, then you should really be freaked out.

If at any time his hands return, I'm going to sell the set on eBay and make a fortune.

You should have seen me holding the handless Jesus and trying to figure out if it meant something.

Kindergarteners searching for eggs and then loading up on sugar. I'm thinking it'll be a good time!

HI EVERYBODY!!!!

Bet you're all just wondering how exciting the Milwaukee airport is, aren't you? Especially if you've been here since 5:30am after getting up at 4:15 to catch the shuttle. Especially after going through security, boarding the plane, de-icing, getting on the runway, going BACK to a different terminal, getting off the plane, going back through security to get back to yet another terminal after being told the first flight was cancelled, getting rescheduled on another flight, which is now cancelled as well, and just in general sitting here right now while DH tries to find out if there are any other options!

Meanwhile it's a blizzard outside. We were hoping (especially since it was just flurrying when we left the hotel) that we'd get out ahead of the storm, but evidently no such luck. We just rebooked with our hotel for tonight (at a rate more than 50% higher than last night! ) just in case we can't get out until tomorrow.

AAUUGGGGHHHHHH!

Well, I read everything, but can't really take the time to reply since I'm on the stupid Mac Book and I'm backspacing more than typing, and DH wants to save the batteries. Catch you all later - from Boston hopefully at some point!

 

[tarheelmjfan]

You betcha!

I've got people!

Right now in Orlando...it's a balmy 79 degrees under clear skies and a nice breeze blowing.

homies.,,,,,,,,,,,
i tried for a real long time to post here.

i ended up sending it to brab in an email and told her to post it here.
well i told her to pass the info on which means powst it here..



i see it is about 11 pm for most of you.

yhou are 6 hours ahead of me....


hopefully this will post..................

i kept getting errors on disbioard type of ;message.

Hey Mac, (big wave so you can see it from FL to HI)Sounds like you're having a great time. I didn't realize Mr. Mac was joining you. It will be good for you guys to get away together.

Definitely, forget the real world exists. You deserve a break from reality.

That's a seriously long flight. We flew nonstop to San Diego & my DH said no more nonstop, cross country flights. (We usually change planes somewhere along the way.) Yours was much worse. No wonder Mr. Mac was tired.

Barb, thanks for posting Mac's email.

great progress - now could you send some of that energy my way??

When you get done with it, will you forward it on to me please.

holy crap - getting home improvements, going to Vegas AND Florida within a short time frame? when did I do something to deserve all this????

Just being you is more than enough.

Hey everyone!

Leaving for PA tomorrow....don't know if or when I'll be able to get back on because we have no internet soooo....

Happy Easter to all and to all a good night!


Isn't that the way it goes?

Have fun!

G'mornin everyone and Happy Spring!!!!!!!

Barb: There's nothing wrong with PA. We're both summer babies and love warmth, but instead of going to somewhere warm this vacation, we're going to PA where we you may be getting snow on Saturday. We'll also be hitting up Camelback to try snowboarding for the first time ever!! I already told my students that if I come back with broken bones, they'll know why!!

Hope you make it home in one piece.

did you hit the lottery Sooo, . Where r u staying in Vegas? I'm rather anal when it comes to picking a hotel have switched packages/joints out a couple times...figure it'll happen @ least a few more times before June...it's a sickness lol

Yes, more Vegas info please.

Anyhow....the boys are off to a soccer clinic this morning (splain later....remind me if I forget) and I'm off to work 9-4 .... sigh.....

Consider yourself reminded!

Dear Threaders- This is your chance to own a handless Jesus manufactured right here in North Georgia! It can be yours to sell on Ebay for the low , low price of .........a weeks stay at either Uni or Disney World. The seller preferes upgraded facilities and dining included, so make your offer now! This will go fast once the ebay folks hear about it. Again, Jesus with no hands! No hands needed to perform miracles! Come on down and make your bid!

 

[yankeepenny]

Brab, I would not be happy about that teacher situation.
Not at all. let us know what you are going to do.

Awww. That is so sad!!!

 

[tarheelmjfan]

i'm not stressing about calling the school, hopefully boy will know when he comes home today. I looked at the calendar again today & realized that he has a tennis match scheduled for both friday & monday (which were school holidays ). They did the same thing with basketball. I can understand a tournie; yet regular games should be during school dates imo.

Good thing you guys didn't plan on going out of town for the holiday.

Chris and I have already given our comments....feel free:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1760460

I read the thread, but refrained from posting. I hate to question anyone's intelligence, but some people....... The comment I despise the most is the comparison to Six Flags. Either there's some Six Flags parks that are MUCH better than others, or these people don't have a clue. I also love it, when people say, "I'm a WDW person, & have never been to UO, but WDW is definitely better."

To me, the linked thread is a no brainer. I love both resorts, but MGM isn't nearly as nice as US. The person who said both UO parks combined equals one WDW park obviously missed a lot of stuff at both parks. FWIW, we think MGM & AK are both 1/2 day parks at most. That doesn't mean everyone thinks that. I just don't get some people. They act like there's a reward for the DISboard member most addicted to WDW.

Trust me you do not want to get close to Diamond Head. I will never forgive my husband for telling me that my sister & I that we just had to hike that stupid crater. Some day I will scan some of my pics and post them for you guys to see. You know, when I have some free time!

We're waiting.

GUYS!!!

HELLOOOOOO how is everyone!??! Missed me?? Just got home a few days ago and have had internet trouble recently.

Saw that the old thread got closed...why? Internet got caught out before I could read why. And since when are we on the 3rd one?? You guys are good yackers!!

Im home for easter now until the 1st April and then I start my new job in Liverpool on 7th April and working full time over summer (no holiday for me this year...boooo)

So....tell me the gossip!!

Hey Gemma,
Welcome back! Sounds like you're leading an interesting life. Enjoy the ride.

So now you know my secret, which will get me lynched if anyone outside this thread finds out You guys all posted so eloquently. I was thinking it is too bad the OP didn't come here and post

My DH would agree with you. My DS would too most of the time. (He likes going for new rides.) Other than new rides, he's also prefers UO.

My house is reasonably clean and so am I. I am, however, freaky tired. Do I need to go check the other thread again or do you guys have it covered?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Yeah, Tricia! Now, come & clean my house please.

Been reading those threads about Universal v. Disney, and I'm stressed out! I just wish people wouldn't jump to conclusions and label Universal "just like Six Flags". Same old, same old, rude castmembers, dirty, blah blah blah. Just had to get this out!!

We all feel the same way its just another lets bash Universal and Disney and gets real old at times

 

[tarheelmjfan]

PM me your snail and I'll send it down....

Done!!! Thanks again

I don't think it's just FL anymore....seems like everywhere they are developing something....no tiny morsel of land goes undeveloped if they can help it

You're right! Fortunately, my sisters & I have land in NC that our parents left us. I'm not selling any of it. Land is a novelty most people don't have. We definitely don't have any here.

yo! still waitin' here.....

Has it arrived yet? If not, I'll have to check the tracking number to see what the holdup is.

Morning all and happy Friday!


Here we go again with the name calling. Now Universal employees are slimeballs:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1761461

That thread was even more ridiculous. I'm glad it was closed.

Jodie - I signed up for the Fox Sports Bracket. I see that someone else also picked West Virginia to go to Final Four. So far, so good - WVU plays Duke Saturday @ 2pm. This would be a HUGE win for us. You know where I'll be Saturday. The office will probably shut down at 1pm for Easter and THE GAME.

They have a great chance of beating Duke. Coach K plays his players so hard in the regular season that they have nothing left for the tourney. I can't figure out why he does that, but it works for me.

Morning Jennifer. I hope WVU wins...I can't stand Duke and was very upset Belmont couldn't finish them off last night.

BTW....My brother is a WVU grad.

That makes 2 of us. Of course, it's obvious why I don't like Dook. I was so conflicted last night. I chose Dook to win, but was really hoping Belmont would beat them.

 

[Metro West]

Excellent post Tracie. And the point being made repeatedly is that NOBODY said anything bad about MGM/DHS! The only "bashing" was aimed at Universal. Saying "here are the reasons why I like this place vs. that place" is one thing... saying "ewwww, don't go to Universal" is another.

Yup...same old song.

If you read the second thread (the one that is locked where he refers to employees as slimeballs) It appears that he is bent because allegedly a TM was hitting on his girlfriend who "cursed him out" and "stuff like that NEVER happens at Disney" - yeah if gf is cursing at Uni, she's cursing at Disney, Seaworld, home, work, etc.

Yeah...the mod locked it but that's the thread where TheCaymanIslands bonehead was calling all the names.

one could only hope that he realizes that he is being an absolute butt head and confrontational

Couldn't agree more.

Well they can say what ever they want about Universal cause as for me and my family we are hooked on Universal and yes we like Disney but ask my DW and DS's if they want to go somewhere else then be prepare to hold your ears for the screaming and not to mention I can't wait or how excited they get everytime the DW sees a comercial on Universal

Good to hear Lawrence.

The mods already locked that one and are sending people over to the first thread you posted. That Cayman guy sure has a personal bug up his butt, doesn't he? He's relating experiences from when JN was the Hanna Barbera ride? How many years ago was that? Puh-leez.

I know...he's a freak alright.

regarding those two threads- someone must have wizzed in the caymen dude's cheerios years ago, cause he is giving the impression of very angry , argumentative person....

(just my opinion)

that's Mr. Slimeball to him Might have to call the MIB out on this one...they can make him forget

I'm done now.....but wanted to shout to:

Todd (Done smoking at work yet?)

No...I haven't quit completely but still only allowing myself three at lunch. I haven't crossed the other bridge yet.

I just want to add a word of thanks to the homies who posted on that thread. The one this morning REALLY got me upset with the "slimeball" comment. Otherwise, he can post whatever he wants but that really did it for me.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Good morning homies and Barb the smoking is getting a little better and I am down to 7 a day I guess thats not too bad

That wonderful!

Tammy, plates and garbage bags

I'm on my way out the door now. Didn't you hear me leaving?

Dear Mac,
Hope you are having a wonderfull time on your holiday.
Everything is fine here at the house. Love and miss you,

the Peeps.

Yeah Mac, no need to worry about us. We're all angels!

i'm ashamed of what the TMs/CMs must think of the "ugly" tourists...hope they know most of us appreciate how hard they work every day to make our experience memorable

In all our trip to WDW & UO, we've better treated special exactly once. That was at UO.

if i miss anyone, have a blessed Easter!

You too!

I'm beginning to feel the Universal hate may stem from a TM hitting on his girlfriend? Or that was how he interpreted what a TM was doing many, many years ago? Maybe girlfriend left him and he has decided it was all Universal's fault.

How ridiculous would that be, if it is the reason?

We arrive at skool just before 6 for our conference. Conferences started at 5:30 and they run for 15 min. per parent/student. Well....we left at 6:15 because the people ahead of us were still in with her and we wouldn't have time to talk about Bubba's skoolwork anyway...IF the people she was with walked out then...but, they showed NO signs of leaving anytime soon. Now, I am and DH is really fuming. He said how ridiculous it is to be running 15 minutes behind schedule on the 2nd person of the night. Haveta agree. The next parent came and asked if we were 6:45? (after him)...Told him, no, we were 6...ahead of him. Well, when we decided to leave, he asked if he could give her a message. DH said, 'no. she'll figure it out when we're not here." Now, my DH was a bit loud and let his anger be known about how the whole thing runs.... IF you need more than the 15 minutes, alloted, SCHEDULE ANOTHER CONFERENCE!!!!

So, we get an email from the teacher stating she was sorry she ran late, but heard there were not nice things said about her and she didn't deserve them?? WTH??? We never said anything bad about HER...esp. in front of Bubba....gggrrrrr..... She said she would be willing to have us come in Tues. nite (couldn't do, I was working) or a phone conference and (get this) she said she would be 'more comfortable meeting with Ryan's Mom'.... DH about went thru the roof!! He was pi**ed and I don't blame him. SHE screwed US...how is my DH the bad guy?? Okay, rant over....

Wow, I'm surprised she would say that in an email. Sounds kind of immature of her.

 

[Metro West]

That makes 2 of us. Of course, it's obvious why I don't like Dook. I was so conflicted last night. I chose Dook to win, but was really hoping Belmont would beat them.

I picked Duke as well but wouldn't mind my bracket getting busted if Ferret U was out in the first round.

 

[ky07]

You know its pretty bad how narrowed minded people can be just like Todd the slime ball part got to me and now someone said they couldn't imagine anyone spending 7 days at universal like there is nothing to do at Universal and just gives me a try to tell these people that there is
