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

[RVGal]

I think the launch on Hulk is worse (or a better thrill, depending on your perspective), than either side of DD. Of course, I love them all, so I'm not the best one to ask. Haven't been on either one in over 5 years. Not since Joshua was a baby. Won't likely be on another rollercoaster any time soon either. Sigh.

Actually, since the christening of it, everytime someone mentions "beans", I think of Tracie's 3 and mine (cuz Coach calls him "Bean")



Yep....i know too....I could sit there and listen to it all day.... fascinating.




Mom came in an' yelled at mac & bonny for yakin' instead of sleepin'

it has been a long day already. all stressed out and moving like a snail here.
ended up going to bed at 5:45 this morning. but i did get up at 10 so that's a good thing.

brab we think alike. whatever i start to post, i see you posted the same thought.

Well guys...Im off to Liverpool once again!! Not sure when I'll be back as Im working full time over summer so not sure when I get time off to visit!

For anyone who has holidays...esp to Universal...have a fab time!!

Good luck...have fun...work hard blah blah blah


xxxxxxxxx

we are keeping this note of yours forever. we expect you to come back when you can. steal the neighbors wifi and keep in contact with us.

if you don't, penny has her passport and will come over there and hunt you down.

we saw your pic, we know what you look like.


and,
you will be greatly missed here by all the homies.


ps, stay out of the ditches

It is a good thing that someone is the disciplinarian around here or things would just go amok, amok, amok. That would never do.

damo, that is a fun word to say like you posted before.

Lori - Brad talked with his dad today. He doesn't know of anywhere, in any of the tourist spots, that they let you pan in a stream. He also, as is usual with the locals, never been to any of the gold places around Dahlonega. He has, however, heard several people tell him that Consolidated Gold Mines is the best spot around. I looked them up and it seems interesting: http://www.consolidatedgoldmine.com/

The other place he said that he has heard of is Crisson Gold Mine, but he doesn't really know anything about it. http://www.crissongoldmine.com/

And everything you could want to know about the area around Dahlonega can be found here: http://www.dahlonega.org/visitors/visitors.html

I hope that helps!

Todd beat me to the wake up punch. But Good Morninganyway.

where's your tardy note from home....................

Morning.

My ears are still ringing from Penny yelling at me. I said it was gross. I left it up to you to Google it. Not my fault if you DID... it is?

I ate about half a biscuit for breakfast. I still can't get much food in. Yesterday I ate a grilled cheese sandwich and some mashed potatoes. I weigh 5 pounds less than I did on Friday, which should be a good thing, but since I know that it is just the kind of weight loss that will come right back as soon as I eat... pfffft... who cares.

It is April Fools Day. Joshua has already informed me that I have a frog on my head, a banana peel on my head, and a pancake on my head.

It's gonna be a looooong day.

g' morning miss skinny..........kind of makes me want to get sick and puke my guts out too.

when my were little, they always would say my shoestrings are untied.
i was barefoot but they learned that from their teacher and had to say it to me.

your kids say the cutest things

Yes - I am around - the couch did not swallow me up.

Trying to get back in to some sort of functioning human being today. The girls have the PSSA testing this week (standardized testing). Can you believe they actually had a pep rally for this thing last week

Way back in the day we were just told about having the STS testing and to bring in 4 sharpened #2 pencils.

Whatever.

Fbean is being a real PITA right now, let me feed him this stinking soup he keeps asking for and I will be back (um - he had breakfast about an hour ago - growth spurt anyone???)

feeding him bean soup?
let me tell you with boys. it doesn't get better.

Yes, the concept of pulling a prank is a little murky at this age.

He just told me I have a tomato under my hat and then laughed himself silly because... I'm not even wearing a hat!

To Those of You Born
1930 - 1979


TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight.

WHY?

Because we were always outside, playing...that's why!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times,we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!



These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers problem solvers and inventors ever.

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.



Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

what a hoot!!

surely, this earns you the golden homie award!!

We are going to do the MK pm emh and try to stay till 2! Now that should be fun.



He did say that he "used" to post on. We stole him away!!! Cause were special! Who wouldn't love us!!!!

i think i used to post on those sites also.
it is exactly like todd said except for the csw board......and another board...

I rarely ever go to that site...those people are more screwed up than our friends on the other side of this board.

Good Almost Morning

hung over, eh..............

Ok Maybe everything else but this one

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever....


Morning all had to stop in and say HI . So I havent had a call to sub in a while and well I am thinking that my Starbucks has to be cut to at least twice a week now instead of like three or more times a week .


Our middle DD is getting annoyed with her best friend and is haveing a hard time this week . I really hate this age . Some girls are just so mean . A big Is all this is gets me kind of mad but they will have to work though it.

DS is still talking about his 300 on the WII . I have to say he is also very excited about our trip to Six flags this Saturday . He has been looking forward to it for a long time since OCT. . He told me at school this morning that there were only 4 days till Saturday . I guess he really wants to go .

Glad to see the talk of the family cloth has passed .... PLEASE NEVER SHARE THAT WITH US EVER AGAIN . I need to shower after just thinking of it.

Gotta run and ruin someone else day now . BBL

it is very hard to be a kid today.
the "she said, he said" stuff can drive a parent nuts.
and then they make up a week later and when you remind them, you get the deer in the headlights stare at you.

six flags is fun. ours opened march 17th. snow and all......

usually jobs are slower right after spring break mary. your calls will start coming in next week. teachers want to use up their "sick" days before the end of the year. you will probably work every day in may....

for me, when they call, i tell them i'm still on vacation and hula dance time.

Apparently, other than classes/clinics, May thru July is my break. Soccer practice starts in Aug and games start in Sept And you can bet that Bubba will WANT to do clinics He decided last nite he wants his name/number on the breast of his warmup jacket...we were all set to order it, but I thought his number was 30, DH said it was 40....so, we didn't order it (will do so next Wed).... (note to self: DH IS right....some of the time )





[/COLOR][/SIZE]

as long as you get your UO breaks, all will be fine in the house of bubba


ok, so mr bubba's son got one thing right in the past year.
let him gloat
it will make him feel like a real man......... jk guys.....i'm just a big kidder...

Oh I am lurking around and going crazy from the lack of nicotin

take up drinking jack, you will feel better and not miss the smokes then.

Personally I think the Hulk is worse than DD. Am I the only one?

i adore dueling dragons!
i can do repeats on that ride and not get tired of it.

i really like the hulk too but prefer to do it early morning when the mist is out over the water.

on the hulk at picture taking spot, it is kind of like getting a face lift when that force hits you.


and i totally love dr doom which is one ride most people hate.

deleting due to my stupidity.

[damo]

i just read this from a friend.
i am omitting all names.

now i have to figure out if this means HHN will not be on the weekends this year?




I received a press release from Universal detailing HHN 2008 dates and
prices, they should be up on the Studios site soon:

Cast Preview: September 29th

Opening Night: September 30th

Normal Operation Dates:
October 1 and 2, 6-9, 13-16, 20-22, 27-29 and November 3 and 4

"We've responded to guest reaction about crowds and set this year's
Halloween Horror Nights dates to allow guests a less crowded and
scarier experience. Due to the reduced number of guests, we will be
raising admission prices to $100 per evening and limiting the number
of admissions sold in order to further enhance the Halloween Horror
Nights experience this year."

"We're planning the best event ever, culminating in a special,
one-of-a-kind closing ceremony on Election Day, November 4th which you
will not want to miss. The election is such a scary proposition this
year according to our guest surveys. We will be featuring special
events such as Bill and Ted's Election Edition starring John McCain,
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Ralph Nader."

Mac, is that dated today?

Thanks so much Tricia and please tell the family I said thanks too. I will check them out and decide what to do.

i think i used to post on those sites also.

I was at the point that I spent very little time on any boards...until you made our home here!

I agree totally, if that cue just wasn't so long! Hulk is best in the early morning hours. I think my favorite ride is Popeyes though. I know, strange!

lori, last year the tickets were less. the ap gave a discount.
the express pass was expensive and i wonder if they will have that this year since they are limiting admission.

you saved the family cloth..............

you saved the family cloth..............

Hey I thought we were trying to forget about the family cloth. If we keep talking about the cloth how can we forget about the family cloth? By the way, my family DOES NOT use a cloth!












Now where did I put that cloth?

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Hi everyone!

It's taken me forever, but I finally found some pics of Mac. I'm so excited to finally know what she looks like. I happened upon some other pics too. If I can get my DH to scan them, (I don't know how) I'll try to post some of us. Knowing what so many of you look like, makes our friends in a box seem more real.

Now, I'll go back to read where I stopped yesterday. Catch you in a little while.
