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

[bubba's mom]

Those guys at the car lot were being butt heads and wouldn't fix it so we wound up using our spending money to put a down payment on another car from a diffrent car lot and its a older car and runs better than the one we had and also half the price we were going to pay for the other car but I guess thats what you get when you get a used car

uh...no silly...I MEANT your car needs on vacation....remember you were trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B....

Happy Wednesday all ...

It's a lovely sunny day here ... hopefully all the snow we got over the past 4 days will melt soon

Tricia - hope Daniel feels better soon!

Brab - good to hear Bubba is being Bubba


Check the dates from last year ... odds are this years dates will most likely be the same days of the week - at least the days have been the same over the past couple of years (if I'm wrong Metro and Mac will correct me I'm sure )


... we had one - then took in a second when our friend was looking for a new home for one of her three shepherds, and when that same friend's other female shepherd had puppies, Lee just had to have one ... as he said "they're so cute"

This one is suppose to be a doberman mix

 

[loribell]

I only have a minute, but I wanted to give you a quick update.

The nurse called back and told me to bring Daniel in. They gave him a shot of the antibiotic for strep (since he couldn't keep the oral meds down) and we have suppositories for the nausea. Let's hope things improve from here.

I'm off to get Joshua. His neurologist appointment is this afternoon. I hope I will have some answers, or at least a better understanding, after we see her.

Well I am glad they finally gave that poor baby what he needed to get well. Now maybe mommy won't have to clean up any more pukey messes.

As you know I am anxiously waiting to know what the neurologist has to say.


Hi Bonny!

 

[ky07]

uh...no silly...I MEANT your car needs on vacation....remember you were trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B....

You have to watch me I can get pretty stupid at times but no not yet but was thinking of mears or one of those guys and when it comes time to go to RPR just take a taxi over cause I think it would only be $10 bucks or so

Happy "Belated" Birthday, Katie
&
Happy Birthday, Kait.​

Let the teenage fun begin.​

​

well as of tonight, there have been 22 after shocks and the last one hit 4.6 tonight.
i'm hoping it will still be happening later this week when i am in mt carmel.


no options on taking my folks. its my mom's brother and she wants to be there of course.

Sorry, you lost your uncle. There is another option for some people, but a good daughter like you wouldn't choose it.

Is it common to have an earthquake in your area? I didn't think so. That's a lotta aftershocks.

no need to scan it ... I'll just bring some with me in Oct

Nothing like being wealthy with Canadian Tire money. I remember Damo sharing her secret to Canadian Tire wealth on here once before.

We went to Sci-Fi our last trip. The movies were great, the food was only fair. We also went to Tony's, which was surprisingly good for the prices. We were very happy with our meal and the service. We love the Brown Derby and have never had anything but a great experience there. I think we've been there five times?

I keep hearing Sci-fi has a fun atmosphere. I booked an early lunch. How bad could a burger or similar be? I hope we don't get stuck in one of the "nobody wants" tables I've read about.

I'm glad you enjoyed Tony's. Did you go for lunch or dinner? The lunch menu looks a bit better to me, mostly for the flatbreads. It's too bad they don't offer those. Oh well, I'm sure there's something we'll enjoy.

We ate at BD once & all got sick that night. I'm sure it wasn't that meal, but that's the one we associate the unpleasant sickness with. My 2 guys have said a definitive "no" everytime I've brought it up since. I decided to ignore them & give it another chance this visit.

sci fi: have been there for lunch and dinner probably all together about 10 times.

for me, the reuben sandwich was the best value and taste.
i usually only hit sci fi once every 3 years now.

desserts are good here, so is the chili.

Did you say dessert?

Which are the best? We should have 4 people. That means 4 desserts in this house.

Who needs a burger anyway?

tonys has good days and bad.
i lost interest last year when the menu changed.
when the steak i liked left, i left.

the inside of the place is fab
take pictures of it when you go there. nice little fountain in the middle of the main dining room.
you can sit on the far end that has the windows and people watch outside while you eat. it's kewl

Tony's does seem to be a love it or hate it kind of place. Hopefully, we'll be the on of the good day.

tusker house, only have been there prior to the change over.
it was my favorite place in ak.
from what i read, i won't do tusker house the way it is set up now.
reminds me of a mini me boma

The only time we've eaten at TH was for a special "DDE" event, so it wasn't really like eating at TH at all. We mostly want to get breakfast over with & not have to stand with the masses at the entrance. I'm considering eating at RFC instead. Who know what we'll end up doing?

le cellier, used to love this place and go every trip there for dinner.
didn't care for the lunch menu but the dinner menu was right up my alley.
in march, they changed the menu. my favorites are no longer available.
i have adrs for it in october and will be canceling them due to the menu change.


never did brown derby.

What are you switching LC for? I'm considering Tutto Italia. All the reviews I've read have been very positive.

We did SciFi and we had a great time....came home with glow in the dark souvy cup and glow ice cube for Bubba....food was, mediocre. We did LeCellier last January...it was awesome...we loved it! (AND, getting in w/o an ADR just 'made' the whole thing!)

You should have bought a lottery ticket that evening. Lady luck was definitely on your side.

For those who missed what happened with Bubba.... last Monday after doing a suicide run at soccer practice, he collapased to the ground and couldn't breathe. He had been sick and his colds hit him in the chest. He had been using an inhaler, but I didn't think about the hard running at practice Coach has them do. He didn't have the common sense to stop and kept going. I took him to the doctor the next day and he didn't have bronchitis or pneumnoia brewing, and he said I was doing right by giving him the inhaler...HOWEVER....the doctor didn't think he was getting all the medicine just using the inhaler itself...so, he prescribes an AeroChamber for him to use, and it worked wonderfully for him...he was getting 100% of the meds, and by the next night, he was almost completely better..... So, it really wasn't anything, but it did scare us initially...... He's right as rain now and did a normal practice last nite

That's scary! I'm glad he's okay. We can't have bad things happening to our babies.

vote for me brab

You've got my vote!!! I've been hoping someone would come along that was worth voting for.

Sorry, ive not had a chance.

Have some crappy stuff goin on the now.Pretty ruff week.

I will try this weekend..

Sorry, you're having a bad week. I hope things are going better now.

I need some to make them little again ...Just for a day or so .

I wish I could make Kenny a preschooler until we were too old to take care of a small child. He can grow up then. I'm not ready yet.

He's been sick on & off for 3 weeks. We've taken him to the walk-in clinic, but he's still vomitting & has other symptons. He's going to another dr. tomorrow. I hope they give him something to help. It's breaking my heart to see him so sick & worrying us that he's missing too much school.

 

[Sharon G]

Glad to hear he is ok and atleast you only have 1 my 2 are now wanting another dog and think they talked DW into it

Earth to Lawrence.....you're allergic to dogs.....!!

 

[ky07]

Earth to Lawrence.....you're allergic to dogs.....!!

Thats what I told them and I think its a plot to do old dad in
No I just got word she doesn't think we are getting the dog now

 

[Metro West]

Earth to Lawrence.....you're allergic to dogs.....!!

I don't have a problem with dogs...I'm allergic to cats!

Nothing like being wealthy with Canadian Tire money. I remember Damo sharing her secret to Canadian Tire wealth on here once before.

Nothing like getting your change PLUS Canadian Tire money - then the Canadian Tire money goes in the drawer and sits there for months until you clean ... and it's like found money

 

[tarheelmjfan]

On the first note - what would you recommend for my friend who's going to WDW for the first (and probably only) time? They want to do one or two meals at Disney and that will really be it. Her kids aren't really into characters (ages 9-15) and they're not into gourmet type food. They're looking for something that's not too expensive (less than $25 per person) and something that's "Disney" - that they won't get somewhere else. My suggestions so far for her to consider have been:

Garden Grill
Sci-Fi (along with others, we were not impressed here but went back nearly every trip)
Ohana
50's Prime Time Cafe
Whispering Canyon

Which of these would you choose, and what other ideas do you have for her?
[/SIZE]

Does she have boys, girls, or both? I think 1900 Park Fare dinner @ Grand Floridian would be a blast for older kids, especially boy. I've heard Cindy's stepsisters make a big deal about finding a boy to marry. The stepmother is supposed to be on the prowl to find them a beau as well. All the characters are supposed to be really good at their roles. For girls, there's always Prince Charming.

If she's looking for server interaction, 50's & WCC would probably fit the bill. We avoid them for the same reason. Enjoy your trip!

hiya mac. notice the change in my siggy. pm me for the long story........that prolly isn't that long. eh.

I noticed that! I hope you're happy about it. It seems to be what's best for you, but I want you to be happy too.

It's a pineapple flavored soft-serve ice ream treat .... YUMMY

We've tried the float & didn't like it at all. Is the juice always room temp? We thought it would have been much better, if the juice was chilled. We may try just the Dole Whip minus the juice next time.

Hey Homies -

Going to be in skool all day for Dinosaur Day with the littlest bean. Not too sure how well that is going to go with my nerves shot about this trip on Sunday.........but The saving fact is that on Wednesdays the skool bell rings at 2:15 instead of 3:15

So you all have a great day and be sure to keep cliff notes for me

Did you make it out of there alive? How are you feeling? I hope you're all better by the weekend.

Sci-Fi really does have a fun atmosphere, but I expected the food to be ALOT better after all of the other Disney dining we'd done over the years. Maybe we were there on a bad day, but it was very blah, cold, and our server was clueless. The movies and atmosphere were great though. I'd go again for a snack just to be there.

We went to Tony's for lunch and had a really wonderful meal. Mac says they have their off days, too. Guess it's a hit or miss thing. We were lucky enough to get a good day! For us, enjoying the food is a HUGE part of enjoying the vacation.

I hope you have a good experience at the Brown Derby this time! The first time we went was for lunch on a whim. We were so impressed we made reservations for dinner that night. We've made it a point to go every trip since then and have always had a fantastic meal.

I wish I could make Kenny a preschooler until we were too old to take care of a small child. He can grow up then. I'm not ready yet.

Sorry Kenny is sick.... Hope he's feeling better soon and back to bouncing off the walls.​

Hey Lori, Todd, & any of my other peeps I didn't address personally today.

tammy - i probably will wind up cancelling @ least 1/2 of my ADRs, don't think we're picking up the DP. Will probably just eat @ U 2 days & some places outside "the world" once i figure out when HHN is (note doubles are booked via virtue of having 2 DVC ressies ; shameful...i'll go to heck for sure) I will cancel as soon as i know what U is doing;

Sat: CM or CP for dinner
Sun: LTT or CP for dinner
Mon: Boma or CP for dinner
Tue: LeCellier or CP for dinner
Wed: Boma or CP for lunch

Oh no, Janet's going to WDW heck. Wait, that's Universal to most on the DIS. I wanna go too! I'm calling back & triple booking my ADRs. Maybe, I'll win a trip to the darkside.

So....................................... do ya like CP? We have a 4:30 ADR at LTT on Sun., 10/19. I'm hoping we'll finish eating, just in time for most of the non-partygoers to start clearing out. What's you plan for that day?

I only have a minute, but I wanted to give you a quick update.

The nurse called back and told me to bring Daniel in. They gave him a shot of the antibiotic for strep (since he couldn't keep the oral meds down) and we have suppositories for the nausea. Let's hope things improve from here.

I'm off to get Joshua. His neurologist appointment is this afternoon. I hope I will have some answers, or at least a better understanding, after we see her.

I'm glad they were able to see Daniel & give him the meds he needs to get better quickly. Let us know what they have to say about Joshua.

Those guys at the car lot were being butt heads and wouldn't fix it so we wound up using our spending money to put a down payment on another car from a diffrent car lot and its a older car and runs better than the one we had and also half the price we were going to pay for the other car but I guess thats what you get when you get a used car

A better running, cheaper car...... That's what I call a win, win.

This one is suppose to be a doberman mix

We have a mini-doberman & she's a baby doll. She's very smart & loving. I don't know about the bigger ones though. I guess it would depend on what it was mixed with.

Nothing like getting your change PLUS Canadian Tire money - then the Canadian Tire money goes in the drawer and sits there for months until you clean ... and it's like found money

Found money!!! While you're at it, find me some please.

 

[Tinker-tude]

hiya mac. notice the change in my siggy. pm me for the long story........that prolly isn't that long. eh.

Don't know whether to say congratulations or condolences, but I hope you're okay. Now you're free to find someone who really appreciates you.

What did you like & not like at Sci-fi & HBD? It always helps to know if a menu item is consistently good or not-so-good.

Sorry Kenny is sick.... Hope he's feeling better soon and back to bouncing off the walls.

Thanks He's never been one to be sick often. Now that he can't seem to kick whatever this is, his imagination is running wild. He's convinced he has all kinds of horrible diseases. It's been a challenge for all of us. Hopefully, the doctor he's seeing tomorrow will be able to ease his symptoms & his mind. Then, we have to deal with the missed days of school Teachers of honors classes just aren't real forgiving about missed days. This should be fun.

 

[loribell]

Tammie I hope Kenny is feeling better soon.


Hi Macadamia!

 

[wwessing]

HEY GUYS AND GALS!!!! Anyone miss me

Sorry I've been absent. . .I have no doctors notice or nuthin. . . just been working like crazy but I got THE BIG PROJECT finished and everything cleared off my desk soooooo. . . . I'M FREE TO LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!! Well, I was going to leave regardless, but now I can leave without any little thing tickling the back of my conscience. I'll only have to deal with whatever piles up in the next two weeks and I can handle that.

I'll be back to yak at ya on the other side. . . .

 

[bubba's mom]

Dole Whip =

there's MY 2 cents

Found money!!! While you're at it, find me some please.

me too pleeze

Well...what the heck?!? Does it matter if he's in HONORS classes....the boy is SICK....whether honors or kindergarten...for cryin' out loud....somebody needs to slap a teacher....OR better yet....cough on 'em and let THEM get his sick....

HEY GUYS AND GALS!!!!

Have a great trip Wendy! We are lookin' forward to lots of yer pix and TR!

 

[RAPstar]

I'm home!! Note: Next time I plan a trip I'm going to make sure I know for sure who all is going before I book it. Called last night to add my friend Chip to the hotel ressie. Was told operations handles that and to call tonite to see if there's an increase in hotel price to add him. Now I've been told to call tomorrow cause I have to be on the line with the operator and operations to say yes or no (or something like that). Oh well.

 

[Tinker-tude]

What did you like & not like at Sci-fi & HBD? It always helps to know if a menu item is consistently good or not-so-good.

At Sci-Fi, I had the Reuben (blech, no flavor), my husband had a Club sandwich that was gross, and my son hated the dry chicken fingers. At HBD, we tried something different almost everytime. We had steak twice, which was perfect both times. We each had a tuna steak at different times, again PERFECT when cooked as the chef recommends it (rare), my husband loved the linguini and clams, I loved the duck, and we had a hard time choosing desserts because they all looked good enough to kill or die for. I'd just ask the server what their favorites are.

Thanks He's never been one to be sick often. Now that he can't seem to kick whatever this is, his imagination is running wild. He's convinced he has all kinds of horrible diseases. It's been a challenge for all of us. Hopefully, the doctor he's seeing tomorrow will be able to ease his symptoms & his mind. Then, we have to deal with the missed days of school Teachers of honors classes just aren't real forgiving about missed days. This should be fun.

Anytime I get sick my husband asks, "Is it a brain tumor?" I hope he feels better soon. When you said you wanted him to be a preschooler again, I was imagining him as a first grader. You should be able to get a form from the school to allow him extra time to make up his work. Teachers of honors classes are generally trying to be just as mean as college professors, even though their class will only allow their students to test out of ONE semester college class. Not as big a deal as they would have everyone believe.

Hi Macadamia!

Hi, Lori! I can't keep up with this place! But it's fun trying.

Hey Lori, Todd, & any of my other peeps I didn't address personally today.

Howdy!
