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

[Metro West]

Are you feeling better today?

Yes thanks...Memphis is going to be tough to get rid of. I think if all four # 1 seeds make it...and they should, it's anyone's game.

 

[loribell]

Would I do that?

I'm thinking you would.

Sounds like it's a good thing he's an ex-sil. Wouldn't it be nice, if we could pick our kid's spouses?

Well we actually thought he was very nice. Seems dd kept a lot of things from us for several years. She won't be doing that again!

Hey Tricia - You live in Cleveland, right? I am looking up info on gold mining for Mikey for this summer and there are two mines that were mentioned outside of Cleveland. Do you know anything about them?

 

[macraven]

Good afternoon, Lawrence, Katie, Patty, Rob, Bonny, & Emma. I hope I didn't miss anyone. If I did, please forgive me.

you forgot me......

There's a Cleveland in Georgia? If there's gold outside of Cleveland, Ohio, i'm heading out in the morning. ...with a pick & shovel; 7 dwarfs and a hag

as they say in my neck of the woods - your outlaws have stones

you could drive to Cedar Point, then swing over easily to Niagara Falls (not sure how long driving wise, thinking 3 or 4 more hours?). We like to stay on Clifton Hill for the whole honky tonk vibe (usually @ one of the Choice Hotels)...the kids always have fun & the casinos are "loose".

I met the one & only Jimmy Hart "the mouth of the south" and some huge monster wannabee who's name if forget @ Universal . He was so cool, strolling the avenue; autographs/pictures - very cool...he looks the same as he did on TV back in the 80's.

had to take DS to get hair cut "short"; he could put it in a pony tail; in order to attend caddy school @ the country club . Noticed the owner/my hairdresser's hair looked great (usually nothing to write home about); it was "au natureal"...what I term "beach hair". Decided to get a perm tomorrow to try & recreate the effect. I'll call it my mid-life crisis ; probably will wind up looking like a poodle.

barb - how long between perm & color - 2 weeks?

Davidson will give Kansas a run for their money. We played them earlier this year, & they played us strong. I do expect Kansas to win though, but it should be very close. I underestimated Memphis, because I didn't really know how good they were. Yes, they only lost one game, but they also played a weak regular schedule.

I'm thinking you would.

Okay, maybe I would.

Got to go cook just wanted to say HI to the Homies .

Hey, Mary

you forgot me......

I didn't forget ya. I replied to one of your posts, which in my small mind meant I was saying "hi". Sorry, you thought I forgot ya.

I'm sure it will look great! Congrats to your DS. Being a caddy is a good gig.

Hey Tricia - You live in Cleveland, right? I am looking up info on gold mining for Mikey for this summer and there are two mines that were mentioned outside of Cleveland. Do you know anything about them?

Dahlonega, GA is the site of the first gold strike in this area... and that is maybe 25 miles from us. Which mines are you looking at? There is an active Gold Camp that Brad delivers trailers to every so often. Serious gold miners are there. There is the tourist type Gold & Gem Grubbin' not too far from here. What do you want to know? They are nothing big or important... certainly nothing worth traveling very far just to see them.

Yep! And they have gold I have found today! Now wouldn't that be great? Instead of taking the kids to NC to pan for gold I can do it right by Tricia nd maybe even get to see her while I am there!!!!

That is probably what we would end up doing if we ever make it up there.

Mikey has been screaming for a hair cut for weeks. Don't know how we can do that with baseball every day.

Can't wait to see pics of your new do!

Okay, maybe I would.

Yeah, that's what I thought!


Hi Mary. I forgot to quote your post so I'm going from memory. I hope you make it through the rest of the day without the kids driving you nuts. I bet it is the meds that are making you go to bed so early.

Hi all-
Quick fly by....
I see I have about 15 pages to catch-up on
I really don't have the time to read up, sorry.
Maybe someone can do cliff notes for me please?? Thanks!

Chrissy is doing alot better from the flu bug she had all week. I'm pretty sure she is ready to go back to school tomorrow(at least I'm ready for her to go back ). Went to church last night, have your backs.
We all went to visit FIL in nursing home today(he has dementia/alzheimers).
He recognizes us. He knows DH's name but doesn't remember the rest of ours names, which is understandable. Had a good visit with FIL.

I have to get school stuff and backpacks ready for school tomorrow after we eat dinner. Going to eat dinner now.
Gotta run.
Not sure if I'll be able to be back here tonight.

Have to do some cake shopping tomorrow for the kids' birthdays on Friday.

Mac- if you ever want to PM and ask about you know who, just PM me. thanks.

Hi to all

 

[keishashadow]

you guys have kept me from chickening out (so far lol) on the perm

i keep checking out the styles on tv...everybody has flat, straight hair i'm swimming against the tide.

i learned something new today re the gold...there's gold in them there hills of Georgia...all we've got in PA is coal

i'm not looking forward to the actual caddy school next week. There's quite a bit of construction in our area & what normaly would be a 1/2 hour is anybody's guess. People have been stuck in single lane of traffic for hours on the commute lately. Guess i'll pull out map & do one of my back road short-cuts . The classes are only 2 hours each for 5 days. I'm thinking of bringing a book & sitting in the parking lot...wonder if i'd look like loon/stalker/obsessive apron string ma? It's in the middle of nowhere sure don't want to drive around & burn gas aimlessly.

sorry to hear of the sickness still running loose it's spring, enough already.

don't become a poodle.......

Well Gem & Gold mining are how we are starting out our trip this year. Mikey has been wanting to do it for years. So we will be going to one or two no matter what. I just want a nice place where he can really pan in the rivers and such and have a decent chance at finding something.

I saw the Gold & Gem Grubbin' website. It looks lke it is a lot like what we were going to drive up to NC to do. There was also mention of the LDMA Loud Mine. It may be the one that the serious guys go to. I don't know if they allow amateurs to go there.

Hi to all

Glad Chrissy is feeling better and ready to go back to school. I bet you are ready too! Good luck shopping for the cake. And what is up with your secret message to mac???? Shame on you!

Yup gold in Georgia. Who knew? Well I guess Tricia did!

I think I would sit and red myself if it is that far of a drive. You would barely get home before you had to go back. I used to sit at the gym while Ally did her gymnastics for 2 hours. I miss the alone time I got when she did it. Who cares if you look like a stalker! Use those backroads!

Looks like Kanas is moving on by the skin of thier teeth

 

[coastermom]

Janet ..DON'T DO IT Please don't perm your hair . I did it years ago and well I STILL REGRET IT . I had stright hair now it has a wave to it I can never get straight again .


Ok so here is my issue . WDW annoying me already and we didn't even get there yet . I posted on the DIS Disney section ... They were talking about the refillable cups from their resorts . So here it is guys the cups are EXCATLY the same as last year EXCEPT the year 2007 is on mine and this year there is no year on the cups. SO I asked and someone told me that you CAN NOT reuse the cups from last year. My question is WHO IS GONNA KNOW ?? The only difference is the year so if the year just happened to come off of my cups would they still know ?? Really don't we give that dam mouse enough just for the joy of staying there ?? Ok rant over ...

Hi to all

You are one very busy person.

 

[RVGal]

Well Gem & Gold mining are how we are starting out our trip this year. Mikey has been wanting to do it for years. So we will be going to one or two no matter what. I just want a nice place where he can really pan in the rivers and such and have a decent chance at finding something.

I saw the Gold & Gem Grubbin' website. It looks lke it is a lot like what we were going to drive up to NC to do. There was also mention of the LDMA Loud Mine. It may be the one that the serious guys go to. I don't know if they allow amateurs to go there.

The Loud Mine is the Gold Camp. Members only, no amateurs allowed. Gold & Gem Grubbin' is honestly not that big of a deal. It would be fabulous for you guys to come here and do the gold panning thing, I just don't want you to be disappointed. Over toward Dahlonega, I think there is a gold panning outfit or two... plus there is the Consolidated Gold Mine you can tour. My town is not much. It is a pretty little town, but it is just that... a pretty little town. Ally would probably get a kick out of the Babyland General tour. They do a cute bit about how the Cabbage Patch Kids are "born". They have the adoptable hand sewn dolls for $200 and up, but they also have the mass produced kind you can buy in the toy stores that are only $25 or so. Just throwing that in there because girls generally want a doll if they do the tour.

If you do one of the tourist type gold panning things, I can almost guarantee you that Mikey will find something when he pans. Many of those places make most of their money by taking the gems that you find and cutting them and setting them into jewelry for you.

I did the gold & gem panning thing in Cherokee, NC many years ago. It was neat, but the whole process takes maybe 30 to 45 minutes. You buy a bag of dirt. They show you how to pan it. Then, they show you if any of the rocks you pan are actually anything of value.

If you want, I can check with Brad and see if he know more about the panning places around here.

Davidson will give Kansas a run for their money. We played them earlier this year, & they played us strong. I do expect Kansas to win though, but it should be very close. I underestimated Memphis, because I didn't really know how good they were. Yes, they only lost one game, but they also played a weak regular schedule.

Yeah...I think Kansas was lucky to win that game...Davidson played their butts off. That's the bad thing about the tournament...one loss and you're sitting a home.

Oh good heavens! You posted a refillable mug question? On the Disney side???

Seriously, the refillable mugs are supposed to be valid for the length of stay only. Technically, that means if you visit in March, 2008 and then return in June, 2008 you are supposed to buy a new mug. Now, is that what everyone does? Ahem. I have seen people filling a Wilderness Lodge mug at the Pop Century food court. I don't think everyone adheres to the rule. Do the CMs enforce the rule? I have yet to see anyone questioned about the mug that they used at the soda stand. I have, however, seen posts by some people CLAIMING that they saw people turned away from the Coke machine because they had old mugs. Maybe. Maybe not.
