GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!!

Here is a healthier breakfast for our health-nuts!

Let's see how much fighting goes on over this! :laughing:
*Keep the cooties and crabs away from the food, please!*

Thank you for a delicious, nutritious bfast. Very refreshing! And easier to clean up after a food fight than frosting.
 
Tinker-Tude...you crack me up! (Glad to see you are not one 'blinded' by the pixiedust :rolleyes: )

I tried to make Bubba's soccer game today, but clients ran late, and then so did I! :sad2: Got home the same time the boys did. Then, we decided to go to the elementary school and work on skills. We were there about 2 hours and did I RUN

Bubba would be in goal, DH defense and me coming (w/ the ball) in on goal. What a workout :thumbsup2 We all had a good time together and Bubba got some pointers. (Hoping to do it again on a nice evening or day again!)

I'm glad I'm not offending everyone. I know we have a lot of Disney fans here, too. :rolleyes: The thing that sucks is I'm still a big Disney fan. But the spirit of Disney is a philosophy, not a place. Sounds like you had a great day playing with the fam!

Gotta run for awhile, I have a two hour church conference online that started ten moinutes ago....
 
Morning. Okay, it's afternoon. Give me a break.

Beautiful day here today. We'll be getting out in it soon.

Glad to see you guys are melting some Marcie. I've never heard of snow mold either, but I doubt it would be a problem here. When we get snow, it doesn't stay on the ground for more than 24 to 48 hours at the most.

Lawrence, where did you see the question? If it was someone from the UK, that would make sense. Kids can go everywhere in that part of the world. I'm not sure what the rules are state by state here. We can take the boys to Dave & Busters, where there is a bar... we can sit at a table beside the bar... we just can't sit AT the bar. Depends on the location, I guess.

As for donuts, I love to go to Krispy Kreme. The new kids pack with a donut and milk is great. Not only that, you get to watch them make the donuts... so, no fear of Jodie's friends getting spit on my donut.

The thread here Happy Hour at the parks and someone asks do they allow kids in the bars and I ask why would you want to take a kid to the bar but thing is at first I thought well maybe the person was thinking like nascar grille or m'ville but I don't know :confused3

That's what I was thinking too.

No offense here. I stopped seeing life through rose colored glasses a long time ago.:3dglasses it's all in 3-D now--right in my face!!!:rotfl:
 
Lawrence, My deepest heart felt sympathy. I hope you are feeling better.
 
Mac, I know what you mean...I don't know how to post a link or a pic or anything for that matter. I don't even have a digital camera. I'm so amazed when y'all post the cute little pics in your posts and wonder where you get them from. I'm still stuck way back in the 20th century somewhere......help....
 
Is it me cause what kinda question is it to ask can you take a child into a bar in florida and if I am not mistaking thats not allowed in any state

That's a really weird question.... Maybe they're foreign? :confused3

mine also.

weren't they great!!
we did repeats on those didn't we...

DO you people NEVER sleep? Oh, to have your energy.... I'm a night owl myself, but after a long day chasing kids and dogs, 1 AM is about all I can handle anymore.

that is why we are like motel 6.
we'll even leave the light on for you.

lately, i have been locking the joint up to save the $$ on electricity.

i went to bed at 3 this morning and up at 9. went to church.
have your backs covered for the week homies...

i wouldn't dream of going to orlando and not doing both parks.

i absolutely love universal the best though.
at disney, i bus around to the different parks and hit the highlights of what i enjoy there. i have my fun at disney.

we have some on this thread that have not been to the parks before.
i can't see how anyone can be offended by what you said. some of the regulars here are DVC owners.

when one of us makes a trip to the darkside, we all do talk about it for quite a few pages.

No offense here. I stopped seeing life through rose colored glasses a long time ago.:3dglasses it's all in 3-D now--right in my face!!!:rotfl:


you fit in fine here...........rose colored glasses are kewl.
bifocals are not kewl........but i don't wear them. just reading glasses for the fine print...

i'll drive down to texas and we can muddle through it together.
change is hard for me.
 
being blonde and all with that red in my hair now, makes me forget things.

i'll highlight here:

marcie, when you go to six flags by me, you can go to krispy kreme up the street. they have not closed the KK places in northern illinois or southern illinois.

i loved them when they first came out.
now i don't live there anymore.

overload on doughnuts. so much, i am looking like Homer.



nice day today as long as i don't step on the brown grass. i would sink it is so wet.


lawrence, whatever you decide to do on the funeral will be difficult.
i know you are torn about this. hang in there. the homies are praying with you.

fruit for breakfast, ok, tanks i guess......i prefer chocolate but as i always say, if i don't have to prepare, cook it or clean up after it, whatever is put in front of me to eat is the best food i have ever had. never look a gift horse in the mouth

i even say that when i am in the hospital eating hospital food.

alison, that tag fairy will come some day for you.
you know in your heart you are another fake redhead like the rest of us.
except penny. she's really a redhead...


a big sunday hello to all my homies out there.
if you are a reader or poster, hope all goes swell for you today.


lori, when you see the cousin in law today, give him a big hug and thank you from me and the other homies here.

no matter how the politics are in it, we all appreciate him serving our country. i'm glad he is home and safe.
salute.......
 
Afternoon everyone ... :wave:


Oh, and on the snow topic - here's where we are after 3 days of 50-60 degree temps:


IMG_1939.jpg
That's about where we were ... before we got the dump on Friday evening/Saturday morning :headache:

Spent awhile yesterday raking "snow mold" off the lawn. Nope, never heard that term before. Means all the matted down dead grass on top of the grass killed by the snow.
And don't forget all those leaves that "someone" forgot to rake before it snowed :rolleyes1

Yeah MAC, Marcie is right! Photobucket is easy and we want to see your Hawaii pics!
I have all my online photos at Photobucket. You can do it Mac!


My favorite from last year was Psychoscareapy: Home For The Holidays followed closely by Dead Silence: The Curse of Mary Shaw
Mine too ... we even went so far to take a couple of the pictures from Psychoscareapy this year and put them into Christmas cards as a joke to Lee's folks ... they thought we sent them out to everyone :laughing: Nothing like opening a Christmas card only to find Santa dead upside down in the fireplace :rotfl2:
 


Sounds like this is a good place for you to be hanging out! ;) I'm amazed you weren't flamed more over on the Disney side because it seems like most folks over there don't like hearing things like this and always imply if anything went wrong on a trip, it must have been YOUR fault, not Disney's!

While we didn't get outright flamed, there were plenty of insinuations that we (all posters complaining about that week) did everything wrong. But there were quite a few of us with all the same complaints. Food that made us sick for days, bad service at the Grand Floridian, bad maintainance all over the parks, monorail taking an hour to make the circle for three days straight, rude frustrated employees with no authority to solve a problem of any kind (and we had several EVERY DAY), and the list goes on. It was a complete turn-around from all of our previous Disney vacations. There was no contact info for management anywhere to be found. I swear they had to have hidden it in anticipation of the complaints. It was mind boggling that we had saved up and spent over $6,000 for constant stress and aggravation. And still, we were the ones who had done everything wrong, and maybe we had, "...just planned too much and anticipated too much." :sad2:
 
Hi all! Won't be around again today. Inlaws family has left now have to run to my families for a get together. Cousins dh just returned from iraq and we are going to see him.

Have a terrific day everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING YOUR COUSIN'S HUBBY HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!!!!!!!! Tell him thank you from my family. My husband is ex-Navy and served on a nuclear sub during Desert Storm. Hope you have a great time with your family. And I'm glad you survived your giant cookout.

Thanks Mac and its tough but after talking to a few family members I thought it best to stay away due to my uncle and his sons cause they are the type that want to fight and I think a funeral is no place to do that so I just told them I am very sorry she passed away and they will be in my prayers and with all the stuff I am going thru with being sick that I am not nicest person when they want to start with me and I am really not a bad guy just the type that wants to treat people the way I want to be treated but anywho hope you and the rest of the homies are doing well.
 
Hello.....Quick Question to my new mates :Any one know when Spring mite just show up,snow this morning followed by icy wind and rain.

Been wondering the same thing myself ... almost all our snow was gone then we got another dump late Friday/early Saturday ... sheesh!!!

But there were quite a few of us with all the same complaints.

I know what you mean. When I used to hang out on Cruise Critic a lot (kind of like DIS but for cruises), whenever someone would complain about something (poor food, poor service, etc.), people would always jump all over them because they should consider themselves lucky to be able to go on cruises and there were a lot of people in the world who would never have that opportunity. :confused3 Just seemed like, um - okay, I spent $4000 on a cruise, but I shouldn't expect anything out of it because other people will never be able to? Just never got that concept, but it seemed to come up on every complaint!

The thread here Happy Hour at the parks and someone asks do they allow kids in the bars and I ask why would you want to take a kid to the bar but thing is at first I thought well maybe the person was thinking like nascar grille or m'ville but I don't know :confused3

That's what I would be thinking too. Although in the Disney area I saw a lot of kids actually at bars. I think the rule there is the same as someone else mentioned - okay in the bar but not at, but it didn't seem to be enforced around there.

Hi Marcie! :wave:
We took the kids Tuesday evening to look at an Accord and it has about as much room in the back seat as the Chevy Trailblazer that I was driving. The back seat leg room is only about an inch less than the front seat on the Accord. You ought to go look at one! The kids and I sat in the back seat to test it out, since normally we take our nephew with us who is 15(and my behind is wider than his!). DS14 (Zack) is about 5'9" and he fit comfortably in there. DH is 5'11" and he sat back there comfortably. So it looks like 3 boys will fit comfortably back there. I think your two older boys may be taller than Zack, but you ought to go to a Honda dealer and take them with you to try it out. I was really surprised!

14 year old doesn't even want one, but the 10 year old tells me that everyone at his school has them, even the nerdy kids! I just don't think he could keep up with one and he has not proven that I can trust him to follow whatever rules I set for him. I'm scared I would have a $300 cell phone bill! :scared1:

Do you normally get snow in April? My mom said it actually snowed here last week for a little while, but it's been way to warm to stick here.

Unfortunately at this point we're looking for something to pull a camper with. And take ski trips with. The minivan is getting very old and very "iffy". I just wouldn't feel comfortable taking a long trip with it. But it should make it the 2 miles to school each day for Matt. So we want to get a new one for us. Looked at SUV's, but I don't like the size (driving-wise) or the lack of storage in the back or the gas mileage, so we decided to stick with minivans. Hence the Odyssey. DH has been pricing them all week. We're hoping to get one by this summer, but need to get something by the fall because Matt will be driving to the college for a class 3 days a week then.

EVERYONE has cell phones here. You can set it up so they share your minutes. We really never had a problem with the phoning, just the texting. We just set Eric up with it a couple weeks ago since his friends are finally at that point. Matt has unlimited for $15 a month, Eric gets 350 for $5 a month. That was the only time we got hit with a huge phone bill. First month we set up Matt with 1000 for $10 and he made closer to 4000 texts. :scared1:

I don't think April snow is normal - at least not large amounts that stick, but I wouldn't rule anything out after this winter! :rolleyes:

I think Marcie left, that's Stephen. (the middle child)

That's Stephen, who's sitting here with me reading. He says thank you that at least one person knows him! And he wants me to use this smiley: :dance3:

Out to enjoy some more of the good weather. Supposed to be 40 and rain tomorrow, currently 60 and sunny. Gotta take advantage while I can. Although I start jury duty tomorrow, so I guess I won't complain about the crummy weather. Rather sit inside if it's crummy than nice!

when one of us makes a trip to the darkside, we all do talk about it for quite a few pages.

I've actually been toying with the idea of spending a day at Animal Kingdom on our next trip. My two-year-old is absolutely obsessed with Mickey Mouse, and we haven't been to AK since he was born. But then I don't want to support the beast that has taken over Disney. I'm not bitter! I'm not! I'm not! :snooty:

I think one of the biggest things effecting my opinion about it is the fact that I've seen lives and reputations trashed by other companies who have the management style now being practiced by Disney's management. It will be their downfall if they don't get back on track.
 
Hey Peeps :wave2:, I hope everyone's having a great weekend. It's stormy & nasty here. It's 71 deg., but that's cool for us, especially when you add the rain.

I'm going to attempt to ketchup. See you guys in about a week. :p
