Something About Nothing.........#7

[Tizzy_Meliss]

Morning homies.

Have a great trip Barb! I'll be looking forward to your trip report when you get back!

Sad news about Billy Mays, wonder what killed him?

Niki hope your hubby is feeling better. Food poisoning is the worst.

I think DH and I may take a trip to Universal when we visit Tampa in two weeks. It will all depend on how soon he finishes up his meeting with his new boss, but we may be able to swing over to US for a couple of hours. Or at least dinner at the Hard Rock! We get to pick up our AP's and I get to use my new All Access card.

Now to find a decent hotel close to the park so we can have a couple of hours Saturday at the park before we fly out.

Good morning homies
We got in last night about 10 pm so after the flight and drive home we hit the sack but we had a great time.
Super hot but none the less we loved it

 

[Tinker-tude]

Good morning!

I'm getting the kids settled and going back to bed. Junk in my lungs, sore throat, chills and fever, aches and pains. Going to the doc tomorrow.

At least Jared's art camp is in the afternoon all week so I can rest in the morning.

Welcome back, St. L!

Happy Trails, Barb!

 

[tlinus]

Happy Monday all!!!

Today is Court's 10th birthday. Have to change her age in my siggie! On to the double digits. DH is home and taking her and Frank to see Transformers. Hope they survive the 2 1/2 hours

Baltimore was fun. Had a great time relaxing with friends. The seats for the game were AMAZING. Felt like I could reach out and goose the catcher/umpire at home plate!!

Tooth is better. Still a little tender, but more than that it feels weird having a big void there where the tooth used to be. Thank goodness its all the way in the back.

Glad to "see" Donald and Lawrence hooked up!! Great picture of the four of you!! Lawrence, got to do a tripppie.....Welcome Home!

Barb - have a wonderful vacation! Look forward to all the pics upon return!!

Happy Belated Anniversary to Minnie and Tamie - glad to see you got dinner out!!

I told DH last night, as we were watching the Haunted thing on Eastern State Penitentary on Travel Channel, about Chucky and Saw being part of HHN this year. He said that would be awesome if you can get a good deal - well, don't have to tell me twice!! I will be looking all week for a great deal - need to talk to my guy at HRH and see what can be done. Homies will be there when?? the second weekend in October?

Hitting the stack of work now, talk to you all later!!!

i'm making a cake also today for one of my sons.
i'll add her name to the cake and let son guess what the heck was i thinking.

we are due for big storms today and tonight.

i have 3 tomatoe plants in big pots on my patio.
hope they don't get blown away.

i don't know why i do that every year.
the tomatoes don't get ripe until late september.

Yep that surprised us too. It`s not pleasant reading is it poor man

Just wanted to ask you guys, not sure if this is the right place or not. I`m looking to get DH a camera for his special (50th sshhhh) birthday. It`s quite difficult as I know nothing about cameras at all

Now I know some of you must have good cameras because the quality of the pics are excellent on here, so can anyone recommend me a few cameras that are decent.

Price wise I have no idea what to expect to pay, I mean could I get a half decent one for around $700-$800? Or is that not enough for a good one.

It doesn`t need to be all singing all dancing, but a good standard all the same. Not fussed on a certain manufacturer, it can be any make.

Thank you for any help

some of my friends besides myself order our cameras on line.
we use

Beachcamera.com


if you see a camera in a store and then go to beachcamera.com, you will find it much cheaper usually.

I use the SD630 digital cannon ps.

it is small and takes great pics besides videos.

mine is 2 years old. i love how i can color change and reorganize the background in my pics.

 

[macraven]

heard on cnn that billy mays died of heart disease.

i'm guessing he didn't know he had it.
very sad.

 

[scotlass]

scotlass, didn't you say before you will be staying at universal for the time period i am or did you say you will meet me there before you do the motherland side??

for part of it ... the first few days we're at the Wyndham at the corner of Sand Lake Road and I-drive for Screamfest. Then we head over to Pop on the 11th.

Hey youse...

Mac - we are staying at POP the whole time.

I do think trips from now on we will try and have some days at a Universal Hotel coz the boy is loving coasters and he is a big rock dude so he would love HRH.

Bonny - we are at POP the same time !!

I am so hoping to meet up with all the homies but as i said we WILL NOT be doing HHN !!

 

[macraven]

scotlass, i just want to meet up with youse.

some don't do hhn and that is fine.

i just want to see youse and the family.

i leave the motherland on the 8th for the darkside.

we need a meeting place.

do you have an idea of what dates you will be at universal?

 

[macraven]

scotlass, i see you will be at the motherside the 9th to 2?


i leave orlando on the 13th.
pencil in some dates between the 9th and 13th to be at universal

 

[Tinker-tude]

Hi, Homies.

I LOVE FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're all pyros here anyway.

[Niki Andiokno]

Happy B-day to Courtney. Hope she has a good one.

tlinus - glad tooth is better. Those are the pits.

Barb - Have a great trip. I will expect a full report with details, details, details.

Sorry I folded my handup last night. DH needed more attention than I could give and still keep my poker face. I felt so bad for him. These stupid drugs I take for my AS leave my immune system in shambles. If I am near anyone sick, I might as well french kiss them as look at them. I will get sick, too. Then I have to get off my meds, my back and feet get stiff and my eyes start bulging out. This is genetic modification therapy, so hopefully my genes will morph soon and I can cut down.

Due to my over-active immune system, I NEVER used to get sick. I was always the one to take care of everyone. My DH, my Mom, my Grandmother, my friends. I was always the one everyone called to come over and give them TLC. Then I started chemo, and I was sick all the time. DH was a doll, helping me as I hurled while I couldn't even stand on my own. Then while he was doing a hurling marathon, I could only stand by and watch. It was really frustrating for me, making me feel useless. Thanks mac for the kind words. DH says the same thing. I just feel like I should have done more. Typically I would have.

DH is much better today. I just made him some chicken soup, that seems to be going well. Tomorrow will be better, I'm sure. He has a trial about 2 1/2 hours away, so he had better be.

Going to eat some of that soup myself. Have a great evening.

I got just a simple HP PhotoSmart M525 that fits in the palm of my hand,so its easy to carry around.Its a digital with 5times zoom.But it is limited to shutter speed and night time pics can be difficult to dial in.But with a big enough memory card I can take up to 20 min of video and up to 250 pics.But its been very durable.We had it for 3yrs now and it got its dings,but works everytime.It was $175 back then.

Now thats my take on cameras.Bonny is the expert!!
