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

[bubba's mom]

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.

I thought that too...they must be some real "classy" people...

Well they can say what ever they want about Universal cause as for me and my family we are hooked on Universal

I agree...they love Disney SO much, and HATE UO so much...let 'em stay at Disney...it'll keep the lines down at UO

I'm trying to be good on Good Friday. Tomorrow can be bad Saturday.

BAD SATURDAY ...get ready damo.....

Barb - I would straighten that out so that it doesn't spill over and Bubba get treated different.

I need to be careful because we DID have an 'incident' with his first grade teacher and SHE DID hold it against Bubba the rest of the year.... beyotch..... Don't worry...I haven't replied to her email yet, but I intend to be very careful with my words

 

[bubba's mom]

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

'quiet time' Surely you jest?! My 'quiet time' this morning was paying bills, running a couple errands, making chili, etc...not "me" time...."my" time is at night at bedtime (like now)

I still have to do Easter Bunny Stuff

Are you done Easter Bunny shopping?

Oh, I almost forgot a story! I started getting out our Easter decorations yesterday. I have a resurrection set when I took it out of the box, Jesus' hands fell off.

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

EXCELLENT one!!!!

damo, I think you deserve:

....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

(line of the day! )

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."

Couldn't agree more

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!!

Feel better now We all feel the same way.....

 

[bubba's mom]

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.

What are your plans with that land?? Are you going to put a house on it and 'retire' there?? (I hope not...cuz if you don't stay in FL, a flogging is in order for you )

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

It's okay....arrived today

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.

THREE?? How many WAS it?? Either that...or I'm hoping you have a really loooong lunch (keep at it tho )

I always have a homies back...I just usually need a link to it cuz I don't get much chance to venture out of the house

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

'point' to UO

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

Don't try to explain it.... What I can't imagine is spending 7 days at WDW....running for this fastpass, running to that ride/show, running back, uughh...just too exhausting for us. We want to 'stroll' around the parks and relax... If I feel like sitting down for awhile people watching, I don't want to feel guilty like I should be doing something because there is SO much to see and so little time to see it all.... You have to do what works for you. Everyone's opinions are different and that's what this board is about....facts (information) and people's opinions (personal experiences)..... (again...another reason I 'don't get out' a lot )

Hi there.

I'm sorry I haven't been around.

I'm sorry I don't have the energy to read and catchup right now. I don't even know what day it is.

For those participating in the March Madness Fantasy league, congrats to Tammy for currently being in 1st place! Tricia, Janet, and me are currently tied for second. Macraven and my cat are tied for 3rd. Ignore the Jodie/Jodie entry ... I picked, but wasn't sure if I picked, then it wouldn't let me re-log in as Jodie, and I still can't. The site sorta sux. Looks like Alison didn't get her picks in on time. Sorry about that! This wasn't the easiest site to use, and if we do it again next year, I'll look elsewhere.

So sorry Belmont didn't beat Duke last night. What a great game, and what a terrible upset that would've been! Coach K looked like crud last night, but I guess he had the flu. Anyway, I hate Duke. My brother was denied admission there, but the dingbat he tutored got in on a full scholarship for wrestling, so they kiss my you-know-what.

Happy Easter. I will try to catch up with your lives later. It's 2:52 pm and I feel like I should be sleeping right now.

xx

Hey Jodie...we know you are a working fool....till Easter anyway...then you are OFF baby!!

Okay..now, I hate Duke too (unless of course, my Bubba ends up going there )That was a rotten deal your bro got! How do I check how bad I'm doing?? I barely remembered how to GET to our page to put my pix in

Get some rest...ketchup later.....oh btw...Gemma is back

I made Kenny's basket last night, but still haven't decided on the gift. Like you, I can hear that clock telling me I'm running out of time. Hope you find some good "bunny" stuff.

I don't think I know how old yer Kenny is?

We'd love to spend 7 nights at UO.

I wouldn't mind either....most stayed is 5 nites .... someday

If that one doesn't count, I'm only talking to 2 of you from now on. Tricia & Tracie are my peeps. The rest of you stink!

 

[bubba's mom]

It was about some guy who went to Disney three weeks ago and came back to the room and found his wife in bed with the lifeguard. She told him to come back in 20 minutes. Now, three weeks later he's got a divorce and full custody of his child.

At Disney? NOoooooo!

A divorce in 3 weeks? I've never heard of one going that quickly... especially with child custody involved. I had no kids and we worked out the arrangements and division of property between ourselves and it still took months.

sorry I missed it But, I agree...prolly just a joke....

Our eggs are colored. The boys have had a bath and *most* of the egg colors have been removed from them.

Joshua asked me again this evening when Easter is. I told him the day after tomorrow. He said, "So tomorrow is Easter Eve?"

Well, yeah... I guess...

Our eggs will be colored tomorrow...

Hey...gotta love the Easter Eve comment....from the mind of a 6 yo

My daughter and BF painted her bedroom today. That was all the painting we had going on.

What color??? If she's repainting her room, does that mean she doesn't plan on moving out for awhile?

Hi again!! We're HEEERE! Unfortunately, I wish I could say that "here" was Boston, but it's not.

We are back home in Green Bay.

Wow Marcie...sorry about the travel woes At least you're back home tho Best place to be! Maybe the next attempt will be successful

 

[bubba's mom]

I've got my pics.

First up, the resurrection:

And a closeup:

Oh my! Maybe he broke his hands rolling that huge stone out from the entryway?

And the party in his classroom:

Is it me, or does he look a little frightened about that cupcake?

They were great pix He looks like he had a GREAT time!!! And, got quite a few eggs too What memories.....they grow up SO quick

 

[bubba's mom]

We mailed in the tuition deposit to his first choice this morning! It feels really good to have this behind us now.

Of course, his first choice school offered him the smallest scholarship. I emailed them and included the offers from the other schools and his first choice school upped their offer by $12000!

Guess I had better be looking for airfare to Daytona for August!!!

Hey Sharon!! That's GREAT news!!! Glad to hear you were able to 'negotiate' a scholarship Congrats!! Guess they REALLY WANTED James to attend their school.... If I need help in that area in about 8-9 years, I'll be sure to give ya a ring! You must be a smooth talker to convince them to "up" to offer.... He will love it...AND Fla. Yet another reason to visit

Oh what a brilliant coach, an outdoor soccer clinic in PA in March?

Yeah.... it's not normally WARMER on CHRISTMAS than EASTER! Oh well...he was running around and he didn't mind the cold.....

Here is a copy of my post from another thread:

I went to the baseball field to get the concession going at 8:30 this morning, went to the inlaws at 12:45, stayed until 4:00, back to the ballfield until 5:00, to bank & then grocery store and finally back home at 7:00. Dh is finally doing something to help out and is cooking dinner. UGH!

Yep...sounds like a day in my life.... You poor girl

HEY! That was my Sooners they were playing!

uh-oh

Barb asked about Mikey's MRI. Sorry I forgot to update you guys. We are not doing an MRI yet. This doctor (actually his pa) is much more thourough and I felt very comfortable with what he was saying. They want to try simpler things first. We are going to do therapy 3 times a week for 4 weeks. He also gave him some exercises to do on his own and then showed me the diference in the tightness in his arms. He has to lay down on his side out straight, he then is supposed to put his right arm out to the side and with his left hand push it as far towards the table as he can and hold it for 10 seconds. He has to do 3 sets of 10 a day. When he is doing this with his right arm he can not even get it to a 45 degree angle. When he turns over and does it with his left arm he can go all the way to the table and flatten it out. I guess there is a little tightness there!

Sorry if I missed anything. It has been a very long, stressful day complete with more crap with the ex son in law.

I won't be around until tomorrow evening again it at all. Just in case I don't make it back in I want to go ahead and wish you all a super fantastic Easter. I have some pics of a great Crucifixion & Resurrection scene I took on my way back from Albuquerque to post for you guys. I will do that tomorrow evening if I can, if not I will try to do it Sunday.

Night everyone!

I hope this PT doesn't hurt his arm more than it helps Hope this PA is right. If surgery can be avoided, all the better....but if the exercises and PT alone aren't going to make it better, it might be best to have the surgery now while he's young and has plenty of time to heal and 'bounce back' Either way, I hope it gets better soon....He's waited all winter for baseball, now it's here, and he's not enjoying it

Ex son in law stirring the pot again, eh?? What a d**khead! I just don't get that! But, you go get 'em Lori...nobody messes with our Madie

Will look for yer pix if ya have time...if not, I/we totally understand....

If we miss you, have an enjoyable EASTER yerself

 

[bubba's mom]

Well...that does it for me....long day at work today...didn't even get home till 9:40pm! Oh well....got tonz of $$ in my pocket tho!

Gave myself a short day tomorrow will catch you all then!!! Have a GREAT Saturday y'all......

Pets are in. Locks are locked. Lights are out!

Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugz bite

 

[JawsCPA]

Haha, no. It was about some guy who went to Disney three weeks ago and came back to the room and found his wife in bed with the lifeguard. She told him to come back in 20 minutes. Now, three weeks later he's got a divorce and full custody of his child.

That would never happen at Universal.

sorry I couldn't resist

 

[JawsCPA]

Good Saturday morning gang.

Marcie - so sorry that your trip is not working out. Hope it changes for the better soon.

Tricia - that is a neat Easter set. I had never heard of Easter resurrection scenes before.

To the Universal defenders - Thanks - I didn't have time to read all the comments - just the first few posts of the thread. I don't know why people feel they must "trash" something they don't like. DH and I would never go camping - yet many folks (a few on here) camping, and it is big here in WV. Just because we don't like it doesn't mean there is something wrong with it or with you if you like it.

I also don't understand the people who say do both Universal parks in one day. Am I the only one who likes to go on repeat rides? I don't know when I will get back to Florida, so I want to ride my favorites many times. On our trip, DS went on MIB 6 times and Spiderman 4 times. And on "water ride" day, we did Jurassic, Popeye, and Ripsaw twice each. We spent Sunday afternoon until Friday morning, and I could have spent longer.

Anyhoo - hope you all have a good Easter weekend. I took DS to mall last night for dress clothes. We have now graduated to men's sizes. Only problem is - he takes a size 14-15 shirt. We had to really look to find one this small, and most start at 16. We are going to church with FIL who is singing in their church cantata that morning. (usually, DS can wear jeans and a nicer shirt to church- but for Easter, he needs to dress up a little).


Oh Yeah - GO WVU BEAT DUKE Game time is 2pm)

Another 13" of snow yesterday....we are close to 120" for the year. Our average is 45.

 

[Metro West]

Good morning folks!

 

[bubba's mom]

Runnin' late....

Quik mornin' and HI to wings91 Make yerself at home.....rulz: play nice and no politic talk

[tlinus]

morning all!!!

i am a bad easter bunny - still have to shop.....ds told me he wants the eb to bring him the nerf basket he saw in the toy r us ad hopefully i can find something for him.

the girls are a bit harder (of course)

boiling our eggs here shortly

contractor/friend is here putting this on for my front doors

and this on the side door

he is also going to put these on all the bedroom doors (4), bathroom doors (2), ds's closet (1) and basement (1) -

not too sure if that will happen today, but the interior doors were on sale at Home Depot for 19.00 each and I bought em so we could install em when he can.

 

[tlinus]

St. Joes out in round one.....oh well, there's Villanova! GO Nova!!!

very busy day on tap - have to go to MIL house for a brunch, kids going out with my Mom so that is when the shopping will have to happen....got laundry AND cleaning to do.....at some point.....so my pictures tomorrow show a somewhat cleaned up house

haven't visited the other thread since late yesterday - don't know if I can handle it this early

have a great saturday everyone!!!

I like those doors and for $19.00 you can't go wrong. I've been thinking about putting a storm door on the front but I haven't found one that I like. My neighbor has a white one that has this hideous palm tree and crane (bird...not the machine) on it. That's not for me.

 

[RVGal]

Hi again!! We're HEEERE! Unfortunately, I wish I could say that "here" was Boston, but it's not.

Awww, Marcie that stinks! We've had trouble with flights being delayed, but never anything like that. I hope you still get to go and have lots of fun!

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

This game is making us crazy!!!

Of course, his first choice school offered him the smallest scholarship. I emailed them and included the offers from the other schools and his first choice school upped their offer by $12000!

Guess I had better be looking for airfare to Daytona for August!!!

That is GREAT news! You must be incredibly proud of him.

So, remember how I told you my mil took care of the Easter basekts? Well this year she decided to just do bunnies instead. So yesterday I got to go buy stuff for baskets for Ally and my granddaughter.

I went to the baseball field to get the concession going at 8:30 this morning, went to the inlaws at 12:45, stayed until 4:00, back to the ballfield until 5:00, to bank & then grocery store and finally back home at 7:00. Dh is finally doing something to help out and is cooking dinner. UGH!

Sounds like you had a busy day and more to come. Take a breath and enjoy it if you can. I try to give myself that advice. I don't always listen, but I try.

I'm glad you are comfortable with what the doctor had to say about Mikey. I hope this works for him.

And the ex is STILL giving you guys problems? Does he actually care about his daughter or does he just want to be a butthead? I can't imagine going through that stuff.

I need to be careful because we DID have an 'incident' with his first grade teacher and SHE DID hold it against Bubba the rest of the year.... beyotch..... Don't worry...I haven't replied to her email yet, but I intend to be very careful with my words

It is a fine and crappy line we walk as parents, isn't it? We have to take care of our child first and always. I remember when Joshua was being picked on by the boy in his class at the beginning of the year. Remember that? I had to go in and tell the teachers that another boy was hitting him at recess? Oh, how I dreaded that. I just knew that if I came across as angry or accusing them of not doing their job that they might treat Joshua differently. I had to do it. I had to stick up for my little guy, but I also worried that I might be creating a new problem. Sigh. It's never easy.

Is it me, or does he look a little frightened about that cupcake?

That is his "Mom is taking my picture again" forced for the camera smile.

Anyhoo - hope you all have a good Easter weekend. I took DS to mall last night for dress clothes. We have now graduated to men's sizes. Only problem is - he takes a size 14-15 shirt. We had to really look to find one this small, and most start at 16. We are going to church with FIL who is singing in their church cantata that morning. (usually, DS can wear jeans and a nicer shirt to church- but for Easter, he needs to dress up a little).

Don't get me started on shopping for boys clothes. When Joshua crossed over into boys sizes... ugh.

We're the same way with church around here. They can normally wear jeans and a shirt with a collar, but on Easter they need to spruce up a little. I'm going to use the nice clothes that I bought for the wedding rehearsal in January for church tomorrow.

How nice that your FIL is singing. I think it is neat when someone I know is performing. It makes it that much more special.

Another 13" of snow yesterday....we are close to 120" for the year. Our average is 45.

wings91

This is a happy place with lots of nice people. Normally Mac (the founder of our thread) would be here to join you, but she is currently on vacation.

If you want someone to compare snowfall with, I'm sure Penny or Marcie or... well, I'm sure there are a lot of people here that will trade snow talk with you!

 

[Metro West]

Morning Tricia...everything back to normal after the storms last weekend?

 

[ky07]

Morning Homies and wings

 

[keishashadow]

morning, getting ready to pop the ham in the oven...then i'll give it the bird-turkey that is . Always cook it a day early so it cuts down nicely for the buffet next day.

still haven't read thru the thread, hoping for later today spidey senses tingling in anticipation.

 

[loribell]

Yeah.... it's not normally WARMER on CHRISTMAS than EASTER! Oh well...he was running around and he didn't mind the cold.....

No that is not normal. I hope!

Yep...sounds like a day in my life.... You poor girl

Thanks. I have a lot of really busy days but yesterday it just wouldn't stop. I swear if I had received 1 more phone call I was going to scream!

I hope this PT doesn't hurt his arm more than it helps Hope this PA is right. If surgery can be avoided, all the better....but if the exercises and PT alone aren't going to make it better, it might be best to have the surgery now while he's young and has plenty of time to heal and 'bounce back' Either way, I hope it gets better soon....He's waited all winter for baseball, now it's here, and he's not enjoying it

I think the thing is to wait for the season to be over with to have surgery if it is needed. I really think that when he fouled the ball off his shoulder last season he just overly favored it instead of working it out and it has just continually got tighter. Once I saw what he could do with one and not the other it really made sense. We go back a week from Tuesday. I'll keep you guys informed.

Oh and the jerk coach told him yesterday he sure wished he could play or at least hit! He feel bad now that he knows something is really wrong.

Ex son in law stirring the pot again, eh?? What a d**khead! I just don't get that! But, you go get 'em Lori...nobody messes with our Madie

Oh yeah. It is getting bad again. And he still has not signed divorce papers. He has not paid his last 3 child support payments and Mirandas lawyer is not doing her job. I am fit to be tied.

Will look for yer pix if ya have time...if not, I/we totally understand....

If we miss you, have an enjoyable EASTER yerself

Got them uploaded but I am running out of time.

Well...that does it for me....long day at work today...didn't even get home till 9:40pm! Oh well....got tonz of $$ in my pocket tho!

Gave myself a short day tomorrow will catch you all then!!! Have a GREAT Saturday y'all......

Pets are in. Locks are locked. Lights are out!

Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugz bite

Well your 9:40 was worse than my day by far. Glad you gave yourself a short day today.

Another 13" of snow yesterday....we are close to 120" for the year. Our average is 45.

Welcome to the gang!

St. Joes out in round one.....oh well, there's Villanova! GO Nova!!!

very busy day on tap - have to go to MIL house for a brunch, kids going out with my Mom so that is when the shopping will have to happen....got laundry AND cleaning to do.....at some point.....so my pictures tomorrow show a somewhat cleaned up house

haven't visited the other thread since late yesterday - don't know if I can handle it this early

have a great saturday everyone!!!

Sorry we had to beat you out. Of all the schools in the NCAA how do I kepp getting put up against my buddies teams?

The doors are great. Have fun shopping.

My neighbor has a white one that has this hideous palm tree and crane (bird...not the machine) on it. That's not for me.

I am so glad you aren't putting that up for your door.

Sounds like you had a busy day and more to come. Take a breath and enjoy it if you can. I try to give myself that advice. I don't always listen, but I try.

Yeah it is easier to give that advice then it is to follow it. I will enjoy today. Yesterday, not so much.

[quoteI'm glad you are comfortable with what the doctor had to say about Mikey. I hope this works for him.[/quote]

Me too. Thanks!

And the ex is STILL giving you guys problems? Does he actually care about his daughter or does he just want to be a butthead? I can't imagine going through that stuff.

Gee, Miranda said the same thing to him.
