Janet- me and some friends are going to our local Six Flags to celebrate. Today, I'm just at home resting. I just got a lil sick. :( My nose is all stuffy and my throat's a lil sore. Ooh, and one of my customers let me borrow his copy of Alfred Hitchcock's Sabetour, so I'm watching that in a bit.
i've never seen that one! must've missed it, i luv Hitch

i must be weird.

i have slept in a tent alone before.


once you are asleep, you never know what is happening around you.....

it's safe up there in the camping area around the dells.
don't worry about that part marci

beware yogi bear...he likes pic-i-nic baskets

never have take girlfriends on trips, im old fashioned; just not going to happen
Yeah we already started to cut his salt and I don't know what the normal bloodpressure is for a 12 year old but his was like 145 over 79 but has been much worse cause the last time they checked it the bottom number was 90 so I guess we are doing something right to make it drop .
glad to hear, continued well wishes for him! ps soda has lots of hidden sodium, do a google search for list
 

Hello all

Well we are STILL in school and I have had enough .

My DD is having her last final today .. BIO .. I hope she passes all these test and her regents so we can go on Vacation .

My Dh and his school went to the local SF on their 8th grade trip yesterday and with no test and hardley anything going on in our schools I took the kiddies out and went for the day . I think I needed the veg out type of atmosphere there yesterday .. Too stressed over the chance of summer school.

Mom is having a moment again .. I think I am gonna be very moody this week . My sister has us going to try on our dresses for her wedding tomm. Needless to say I am not happy . I am too fat to wear this dress and I did not lose enough on my diet.. That dam starbucks keeps chasing me down ... :rotfl2: :lmao: :drinking1 and well this motion doesn't help either popcorn:: .But it wan't me :rolleyes1


I need to get two new tires on my van and get it inspected and an oil change all this weekend does this not sound like fun guys ?? :confused3

Ok off to finish cleaning and getting the little darling (DD16) to her test on time and praying that she does well I don't think I am going to make it to next friday i need lots of :wizard: :wizard: and mummy dust.

Hi all!
Leaving tomorrow for UO/ Disney! :yay: :cool1: :banana: :banana:
Can't believe the time went by so fast! I feel I haven't planned as much as I should have, but RL the past few months got in the way of checking out TRs and doing some reading here on the DIS ::yes:: .
I just hope and pray everything runs smoothly for us, esp. getting off the plane late tomorrow night and getting our rental van at Tampa/ St. Pete airport tomorrow night and driving late tomorrow night from Tampa to All- Star Sports resort. Pray we don't get lost :worried:
I still have a ton of packing to do today.

Happy belated birthdays to RAPstar and I forgot who else that had birthdays lately! :cake: :bday: :cake: :bday:

Janet- enjoy your trip! :yay:


Asking the homies:
If any of you homies can give me any last-minute tips on rides and attractions at UO, please let me know. Chrissy is afraid of anything scary, like Jaws and such. She wants to check out Barney at UO :rolleyes: :sad2: She is a huge Barney fan still, don't ask :rolleyes:
I see there is a Jimmy Neutron area I'm sure my kids will like.
I do have that Universal book I'm still borrowing and reading from homie Wendy(wwessing). Thanks, Wendy! :thumbsup2 The book is alot of help :thumbsup2 :) Any suggerstions appreciated, thanks! I do know about Mythos restaurant, but DH doesn't want to spend too much money.
Never been to UO before, so of couse we are UO virgins, that's why I'm asking
of any last-minute tips :)
Been to IOA before, but only 2 hrs at Suess Landings only, during Chrissy's Make-A -Wish trip 4 yrs ago.
We will try the Meal Deal when we go to UO and see how that goes. We already bought the 2- day 2- park passes online the other day.


Here's is our itinerary so far: DH wants to do this on limited budget.
Coming in very late Sat night to All- Star Sports Resort.
Sunday- Go to Magic Kingdom. Have dinner ADR at the Plaza Restaurant at 4:30pm.(This is DH's idea to go there, as LTT was already booked all evening for ADRs that day :( ) Been to LTT before a couple of times.
Hope to stay for Wishes at night :love:

Monday- go to UO all day.
NO ADRs anywhere, probably do the Meal Deal.

Tues- Hollywood Studios (used to be Disney- MGM studios).
ADR at 50's Primetime Cafe at 4:30 pm (I LOVE this place!!)

Wed- Fri, playing it by ear as when we are going to DTD and IOA.
May do resort pool and DTD this day? NO ADRs for dinner anywhere.

Thurs- probably IOA, no ADRs anywhere for dinner.

Friday- walk around resorts, etc, maybe do DTD? Drive back to Tampa in afternoon to take flight back home at night.


Gotta get off computer now. Hope to bbl for any last- minute UO trip-planning answers.

Oh, where to buy refiillable mugs at All- Star Sports resort and can I use the mugs in the parks? Also, can we pool hop with the other All Star Music and Movies? I know, :stir: questions :rolleyes1 not trying to :stir: We will problably just use pool at All- Star Sports.

yup, she leaves in just a few sleeps.

did you check out the youtube videos i mentioned?
and be sure to check out the interactive map of the parks on the UO site.
hope you did, a wealth of knowledge there rose.


I see there is a Jimmy Neutron area I'm sure my kids will like.

It is a ride. front row is motionless, all other rows are motion. tell a TM you want a motionless ride if necessary.

I do have that Universal book I'm still borrowing and reading from homie Wendy(wwessing). Thanks, Wendy! :thumbsup2

how sweet of wendy. we haven't seen her around here since she got back. that was very nice of the two of you to work that out and borrow the book.

The book is alot of help :thumbsup2 :) Any suggerstions appreciated, thanks! I do know about Mythos restaurant, but DH doesn't want to spend too much money.

check the menu out under the meal deal plan.
it is also on the UO site.

did you go to the disney site and see if wishes will be on that night?


Monday- go to UO all day.
NO ADRs anywhere, probably do the Meal Deal.

UO doesn't have the adr system, disney does.
you don't need ressies at UO necessarily but can make them for city walk at the booth on the day you get there.


Tues- Hollywood Studios (used to be Disney- MGM studios).
ADR at 50's Primetime Cafe at 4:30 pm (I LOVE this place!!)

Wed- Fri, playing it by ear as when we are going to DTD and IOA.

do IOA first in the morning. get there early at the parking garage at 7:45. if not, you will have a very long wait to get in and park your car.
do dtd at evening time.

probably t-w-th are the lightest days at UO

May do resort pool and DTD this day? NO ADRs
for dinner anywhere.

Thurs- probably IOA, no ADRs anywhere for dinner.

Friday- walk around resorts, etc, maybe do DTD? Drive back to Tampa in afternoon to take flight back home at night.

Oh, where to buy refiillable mugs at All- Star Sports resort and can I use the mugs in the parks?

you buy them at the resort food court. when you check out at the register, just put the mug on your tray. they are only valid at the value resorts.
last october they were $12.99 or $13.99 per mug.


Also, can we pool hop with the other All Star Music and Movies?

yes you can and you can use any of the food courts there at the values. take towels from your room with you. none of the pools give out towels there at the pool area.

the mugs are allowed at all of them if you buy them from one of the value resorts.


I know, :stir: questions :rolleyes1 not trying to :stir: We will problably just use pool at All- Star Sports.


have a great time!
 


Good Morning/Afternoon everyone! Thanks for all the birthday wishes here and also the PM's. Yesterday was the day of my birth and I was travelling home! On the way home I stopped by a car dealership and bought a vehicle (I thought why not, it was my birthday....LOL)

Picked a Kia Sorento...for next to nothing and can't find anything wrong with it. Pick it up today in about 4 hours.

Thanks to all for the well wishes, prayers and thoughts since I have been to 8 different cities under water. Many of these are disaster areas. So many rescues, too many to list, along with those are many recoveries (which mean the person has passed away). It is very sad to see that some people would risk their lives for their home, etc. ALSO, I did rescue some animals...dogs cats...and that is also hard, for their owners either left them behind or the animals tried to return home.

Having said all this, it will be a welcome vacation. We leave Tuesday and return Saturday and I dont have to be at work until July 3. I look forward to the new ride. in fact I have talked with 2 people that just got back from universal and they said it wasn't too crowded. let's keep our fingers crossed.

Thanks again everyone!

:goodvibes

Good afternoon Homies
Good news just got back from heart doctor and they said his heart was fine but the only thing was he was boarderline on his high bloodpressure but we can work on that by cutting out the salt and things he wants that is real salty :faint:

Kinda know were your at on this.My DS14 was told by the fam doc about his blood pressure was a little high for his age.Change of diet was the 1'st thing he said.But the biggest thing is be active.Unfortante in Florida they have no PE in the schools anymore:confused3 So the doc said sign him up for somekinda sport.Football it was.In 3weeks everything was normal.
You kinda have to picture my son.@ 14 he is 6foot tall wieghs around 235,and after football is built better then me:confused3 Must of gotit from his moms side.
Want to talk about shoe size,special order 15EEE.:( Alot of $ putting clothes on him...

I do know where you come from cause my DS is 12 about 5ft2 and weighs 150 lbs and thats down 2 lbs cause we are watching what he eats and when he eats but as far as making him to be more active is tuff when all he wants to do is play video games so I guess the next step is taking that away from him and making him get out and play.
 
It must be something in the water:lmao: But my son is huge!!!@ 12 he was only 5'3 or 5'4 around 140-150.But he had a growth spurt in the past 2yrs
woot.gif

Now as far as video games;I'm sure he is racking high scores on his PS3.
But when I come home it's work time..He listens does his chores and gets rewarded for it.We got to keep him active.

Now if I could get my DD17 to listen,all would be good in my world:lmao:

your wife is 6 ft?
i didn't know that or i wouldn't have posted above don't listen to her and go ahead and buy the computer.......:rolleyes1


second thought, you better NOT buy the computer or she will make youse guys cancel out on HHN......

I do know where you come from cause my DS is 12 about 5ft2 and weighs 150 lbs and thats down 2 lbs cause we are watching what he eats and when he eats but as far as making him to be more active is tuff when all he wants to do is play video games so I guess the next step is taking that away from him and making him get out and play.

he is at that age where the kids eat what they want and when they want.
so hard to motivate a youngster at 12...........

at my home, i took away the remote to the tv and made them walk to the tv set to change channels ...........


that was their exercise during the winter time......
 
rose princess~ i read your pm and thank you.

make notes on the tips for your trip.


and most of all, have a great time.
:thumbsup2

Hey mac,everytime I'm on I cann't see your green light.I know your on-line but are you invincable??
 
Oh Mac,
One more question. Does All- Star Sports have computer/ internet access in the lobby? Just asking, as we won't have a laptop(don't own one) nor have a Blackberry with us. THanks!
 
Going down to the watering hole.BBL

clap.gif

But it seems like the only time I sound good is when everyone has some
beer.gif
in them.Including me:thumbsup2
