Something About Nothing.......#4

[Sharon G]

Mac - at work unfortunately! But just following along and saying hi! Happy birthday too to Tink and to Mary's daughter on the sweet 16! So when do you get to do the drivers' license thing?!

Not an exciting day here but have to look busy! I know as I've been reading that there's a ton of stuff I meant to comment on, but of course now I'm completely blank!

James got a speeding ticket the other day. 54 in a 40. He just turned 18, so I don't think he will lose his license. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Just got some pics developed. Just had to share this one of my nephew. Ok, and one of me and Sierra Boggess who plays Ariel in The Little Mermaid on Broadway. And the third is me, my lil brother and his golden retriever Annie.

I think you posted as I was.... Your nephew is a cutie...how old?? You look like you have a great time together!

Dear Katie & Patty,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to remind you that we are anxiously awaiting two, yes two, trippies and lots of pics. Notice I said anxiously, not patiently.


WHAT'S THE HOLD UP??????????????????????????

Love ya,

Lori

Patty claimed that she needed your permission or something to post pictures. Would you get her the notarized document or whatever (I'm a notary if you need my services ).

yea, where in the heck are those trippies......!!!

i see you are trying to put up the smoke screen and get our minds off the pics and two sets of trippies..............



blame it on poor patty.
she's the one on the bottom bunk?

she might poke you with a stick if you blame her for the lose of the pics.


but tricia on the other hand means business.
i just glanced at her last post.

i'm scared now

TRIPPIES!!!!

barb - luv day #2, there's lots there to do...take a walk up the hill & see the fort, or the cheesy pirate museum. We did ardrasta gardens, was fun since i got to dance with the flamingos . I'm thinking we'll do cable beach or perhaps Atlantis if i can snag a decent day rate @ the Comfort inn . Beware, the crazies seem to like the kiddos in nassau. DS had a woman wearing a newspaper hat follow him around...all clutchy . He doesn't want to get off the boat @ all this time. likes his foreign countries sanitized & tied up in a bow lol

off to tan, hopefully, not burn this time

ps the secondary bank account is now "unlocked"; primary one has assummed the position...it's payday @ midnight. If the money doesn't post & I have access, all heck is going to break loose. They still don't know if the system is overloaded by peeps checking for their govt stimulus checks or if "corporate" has a fraud lock on it. Ummm, i worked in corporate banking (another bank) for over 10 years...it's not that hard to figure it out...if only they try. They keep telling me, not to worry...they'll cover all my debits/checks pending resolution. i think it's time to start digging in the couch for loose change.

st l - hope DS doesn't have much pain tonight...is the tooth fairy coming?

Why are peeps checking for their stimulus check...my accountant told me it would be deposited on May 9th.... May 10th I'll start lookin for it Never thot THAT could be the reason for the banking problem???

Will definately keep in mind the pirate museum....seems popular...we'll 'wing it' and see how we feel at the time....good to know it's "walkable"...do they charge admission?? I fear the locals..with my long hair and all Last visit to Nassau was frightening for that reason....locals will probably want to braid Bubba's hair

I wish you mummydust snagging Comfort Inn rate... we stopped by Atlantis via boat on an excursion last cruise....looks beautiful from the water

didn't fry yer bum tonite, didja?

Thanks to everyone who asked about Kenny. He's feeling better, but not 100% yet. At least, the anxiety is gone, which is a blessing. That was a really bad experience for all of us.

I'm happy to hear he is coming around....did you ever figure out what he had?? He has been sick for a long time.... How's the trip plannin' coming?

Nope no tooth fairy cause he is too old for her (16) and besides I can't afford his prices

Tell him "IOU on vacation"

crossing fingers that jason gets booted.

uh....okay

Barb they decided that anyone that was on direct deposit was getting their checks tomorrow. They are trying really hard to convince us we are not in a recession. They want everyone to go out and spend that money asap!

 

[marciemi]

James got a speeding ticket the other day. 54 in a 40. He just turned 18, so I don't think he will lose his license. Keeping my fingers crossed.

If he hasn't gotten any other tickets (or at least a few), I can't imagine that he would. I'd be more concerned about the insurance rates! Incidentally, for those of you wondering, here's our insurance story and how having a 16 year old male driver "helps" your rates!

Previous 6 month rate for 2001 minivan, 2006 Civic, and pop-up: $500
New rate with son added with "good student" discount: $1000
Rate when we purchase a new Odyssey, with DS as primary driver on the old minivan: $1350

DH was pricing out ways to reduce it, but basically if we change our deductibles from $100 to $1000 on the all the vehicles, we can get down to about $1250. That just seems pointless as the first accident (and you KNOW there will be one!), we'll just be out way more than that!

Mac - if you're looking for controllers, they'd love the old "Wavebird" brand for the gamecube. Especially the wireless ones. If anyone sees any anywhere, just let us know!

 

[ky07]

Oh no here we go DS is feeling the pain from the wisdom teeth being pulled
Gave him pain meds and bags of ice to hold on his cheeks and hoping it helps

I haven't received anything either and I checked the IRS website for an estimated amount...it said I was getting $300! WTH!

Maine has an 18 month graduated license. But I think since he turned 18 years old he is ok. Won't have had his license for a year until mid March.
We insure 5 vehicles, one only liability, and we pay $500 a month. It makes me sick. I wonder how long it takes for the insurance company to find out he has a speeding ticket.

It's plain and simple Todd - you made too much money!! Our's is being reduced too.

Mary (Coastermom) had hers out recently. I think she said it hurt for a couple days. Maybe you should buy some babyfood. The pureed bananas are pretty good! My son likes the protein drink ensure (he's too skinny and has to gain weight, I told him he could have some of mine!)

Hope he's feeling better soon.

Yeah I am feeding him stuff like warm cream of chicken soup and pudding
He got mad at me earlier cause I fixed other ds chicken nuggets and he went thru the house saying stupid pulled teeth

Evening ...

Well, got out all my shorts and t-shirts for the trip next week. The shorts still fit so I guess I didn't gain that much weight over the winter

Unfortunately, while my legs aren't quite pasty white, I still fear that I will blind everyone at the parks with untanned legs


... maybe I should try that Jergens natural glow moisturizer


... but then I might end up with orange legs and really scare everyone

 

[loribell]

Lawrence I hope the pain pills knock him out. Tell him to stay away from regular food until the wholes heal. He DOES NOT WANT DRY SOCKET!

I haven't received anything either and I checked the IRS website for an estimated amount...it said I was getting $300! WTH!

That sucks!

For you to Sharon. Also hope your insurance rates don't go up and James doesn't have problems with his license.


Marcie welcome to my world!


Bonny my legs are very white to and it has been warm here for a while. I guess if your legs turn yellow you could just tell people that it was either that our blinding them.

 

[Metro West]

Yipee...now I can put that down payment on the Leer jet since I'm sooooo wealthy!

Unfortunately, while my legs aren't quite pasty white, I still fear that I will blind everyone at the parks with untanned legs

Look at it this way...it will be easy to find you at DHS!

Hope he's feeling better soon.

Make sure not to use a straw! That could pull out the stitches and he does NOT want that to happen. I had mine taken out in my teens and had no trouble. My sister had hers done two weeks before mine and hers got infected!

Thanks for the warm welcome you gave our newest homie, Brook. You all are a great bunch.

Been home sick today with the stomach flu. Feel like cra...

Talk to ya soon.

 

[keishashadow]

Janet - good luck on getting the game cube controllers. We have a couple old ones (wireless) and a couple wired ones. Anything you can replace them with now is complete junk, and the old ones like we have are running $70 plus on ebay, if you can find them at all. (Wavebird I want to say?) I don't understand why they don't go back to making them!

Okay, all - day is over here and I'm heading home!

crap, of course they're now mia

Nope no tooth fairy cause he is too old for her (16) and besides I can't afford his prices

fairy came when i had a molar pulled a couple years ago , think i got $5

i have a box full of controllers in my garage.

what type does he need and i will look for it.

it will have to be after AI is over tonight.
crossing fingers that jason gets booted.

aw, how nice of you...game cube

now i hesitate to say i like jason ; not sure why....probably because he sang the hallelulia song & it reminded me of Shrek
paula needs a new stylist, what's up with her?

James got a speeding ticket the other day. 54 in a 40. He just turned 18, so I don't think he will lose his license. Keeping my fingers crossed.

maybe the officer won't show up for court

i use it often, they've got a new product out in smaller container...bit more "oomph"

ps avon sells sim product as jergens...there's doesn't smell as funky and they have one that insists it reduces hair growth on legs...i don't think so

indeed, no insurance hikes!!!

if legs turn yellow peeps may think you're jaudiced/contagious and they may get outta your way @ WDW lol

yinz peeps need to know how to reduce your AGI , if they're a-giving, i'm a-taking . we got notification that we're getting something, not the whole thang though guess it gets phased out, yadda, yadda.

Well unfortunately that seems to come with being a part of this great group. We just keep passing it around the internet. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

 

[Metro West]

Well...I guess I'll head to bed now.

Have a good night!

Some advice for when you get a ticket, from personal experience:

Got one for running a stop sign about 4 years ago. It was the first one I'd had in at least a decade, and DH has this legal benefit at work, so we contacted them and they said I wouldn't have to even appear in court - to just send the ticket to them and they'd get it bargained down. And they did - got it changed to something like a parking ticket instead, which wouldn't result in any points and all I had to do was pay the (now much lower) fine.

Always good to remember to do this. Before a couple months pass, and you get a notification that since you didn't pay the ticket, it has now reverted to the original citation (running the stop sign), plus the fee is now DOUBLE that higher price since you didn't pay it, PLUS you get cited with a civil ticket for ignoring the ticket so you get an extra fee, PLUS now you have points and your insurance rates go up! I bet you can guess how happy DH was with me over that!

Then I went and got a ticket a couple months later for speeding. Yeah, some example I am! But it's been almost 4 years now and I'm being much more careful!

 

[brookelizabeth]

brookelizabeth, later today, i'll try to figure out the best answers to your questions.

if you want to do day trips from wdw to universal, mears charges about $12 a person for the round trip shuttle. that was the price last year but i read on a thread it went up to $14 now. i'm not sure of the price but it should be in that range.

if you stay at american inn or days inn or somewhere on the major blvd which is across the street from UO, they have shuttle services from their hotel to the park/UO

Thank you mac! I look forward to your responses-and I will check out the hotels across the street. That would be ideal! Then we can even walk.

Welcome to all the newbies! If you're just a little crazy, you'll fit right in.

I guess I'll fit right in!

Thank you again to all of you for your very warm welcome. Blue, you sent me to a good place!
