Something About Nothing...........#8

Outside my office window..........Yeah, I am ready to join the "hate winter" club

​

 

[DISNEYLOVER70]

My goldendoodle begs to disagree.....He thinks the snow is great. He is a house dog and we literally have to drag him back into the house. So sweet

​

 

[Coach81]

I will be hating winter tonight as I stand on the sidelines during our soccer games.. we will be in the "teens" tonight with the wind-chill.. virtually unheard of here in South Louisiana...

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Afternoon all ...

So this is where the 'We hate winter" club is at! Where do I sign?

Wednesday, we received 5 more inches of snow. Tomorrow's high temperature is expected to be -1F and Saturday's low around -18F. I think that last day that the temperature was above freezing was Christmas Eve day, when we received 8 inches of snow. And the wind chill is suppose to be around -25F.

Looking forward to next week when temperatures are forecasted to finally rise above freezing, which is suppose to be the norm!

Hey ... that's more like our weather up here

My goldendoodle begs to disagree.....He thinks the snow is great. He is a house dog and we literally have to drag him back into the house. So sweet

Same with our shepherd ...

as i have spent my morning and afternoon doing my usual "hobby" of shoveling snow, i see i have missed out on the action here with the homies.......


i would like to take this time to invite all of you to come to my dump of a house and i will show you how much "fun" shoveling snow is.....


i used to say that to my kids when they were younger so they would fight with each other on who got to shovel the drive way first.
i really don't think any of you homies will fall for that though...

Hi all. Sneaking in here 'cause everyone claims that when I get on here I give the computer a virus. But here's the fantastical news!!! Planning a Disney trip for August and the DH said we can go to Uni at Christmas!!!!


Kids went to school for one stinking day this week. Aargh--no Easter break for them.

DS14 sang with B. E. Taylor (remember Vitamin L) for his Christmas show--way to go Triadelphia Middle School.

DS16 is ready to take permanent drivers test, but now the weather won't let her... (personally I think more time with the parallel parking is in order). She's trying out for All-state orchestra next week and then governor's school for writing after that. Send some mummy dust her way.

got my new purty wooden floors--thanks to all those Canadians and their great floors!

Well that's my quick drive by...

Any thoughts on Contemporary versus Poly versus Yacht? Worth splurging on club for any of them? Decisions--can't stand them--even the floor was picked out by the salesman. He even picked out my carpeting several years ago.

so great to see you here!!

since you asked for our thoughts, be prepared to get an assorted amount of them.
i have checked the prices for the motherland hotels many times but always stick with the value resorts.

for me, it is too much money for the contemporary, poly and yacht club.
i have been in one of the deluxe hotels before as visiting a friend, not staying there.

they are lovely but for what you pay, i just couldn't do it.
i hate to pay jacked up prices when i could use it on food, souvies, entertainment while on vacation.

i have no issue spending the money for the Loews hotels as their service has been exceptional and less than the motherland deluxe hotels.

from what i have read and heard from homies that do stay club at the motherland deluxe hotels, only the Poly has had an outstanding club offering of food treats all the time.

i think it would be cheaper to use one of the outside delivery places to have snacks, bakery items, etc, delivered to your room than go with club.

My thots? ... depends on how much time you're actually going to be spending at the resort. Since we basically use our room to sleep and shower, it's not worth splurging to stay at one of the Deluxes or Moderates - so we stay at Pop - and with just the 2 of us, we don't need the extra room.

If you are going to be making good use of the room (for naps, etc), using the pool, then go for it ... my choice of those would be the Poly just because I love the atmosphere there

listen to bonny.
she is smart.

i would also agree with using the poly if you did go deluxe and club.

see what happens when you form a new club.......all the proud redheads come out to join in.
yes, patster is a proud redhead too.

what can i say patster, the weather suxs all over the place now.

and of course, join the "We Hate Winter" club.
membership is free

You may add me to the list as well! Actually...I LOATHE winter...so there!

adding another red head homie to the club.

of course, metro is adding class to the club by saying loathe instead of hate.
i think that makes it sound more grown up.

Outside my office window..........Yeah, I am ready to join the "hate winter" club

​

to our newest homie:

DISNEYLOVER70

to the thread and the club.....

kick off your shoes, put your feet up and sit back and yak with us.
but, if you just came in from shoveling, take the shoes off at the door.
i already vacuumed the rug this morning and i am hitting a lazy streak right now.


love the doggie!

 

[donaldduck352]

BRRRR from A place that used to be called the sunshine state!!Was Al Gore rite?

 

[macraven]

he did invent the internet/computer, eh................

 

[macraven]

we don't really need the weather channel to tell us how bitter cold it is for everyone.


we have this thread for that!



i know i can handle the heat a lot better than the cold.

 

[keishashadow]

revenge of the hanging chads?

never heard of a goldendoodle, very cutecan't say the same for the snow pic, sorry

of course, i remember BE Taylor, believe he's segued into christian music?

my fav WDW resort is the CR. Unfortunately, when the MK facing rooms went from $250 a night to over $450 w/a AAA rate mid October within 2 years; it soared out of our reach. It's indeed magical, just not sure it's priceless. To be fair, can't say i've scored what i consider to be a good rate onsite @ U either, due to not staying more than a few nights and staying mostly weekend dates...still, never more than $300/night as i recall.

how much snow did we get? i need higher bootsor maybe i'll just stay indoors until it melts

 

[macraven]

i understood the sentence about the snow.
the rest i need to reread......



it's most likely my brain is numb from shoveling the drive again.

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Evening all ...

Sorry to hear about all the cold/snow down south ... on the bright-side we had a heat wave today ... right now (6 pm at night) it's still -2°C (or about 28°F). We even had melting on the streets and most people were out in their "fall" jackets rather than bundled up. Unfortunately give it a week and we'll be back to cold temps no doubt.

 

[patster734]

We lucked out on the lows in KC the last couple days. We only got down to -5F here, although some of the surrounding areas did reach negative double digits. Now, we're looking forward to the warming trend that suppose to start today that will return our temperatures to the normal range.

 

[macraven]

went to church this morning.
your backs are covered for the week..........



i won't go and up patster and say we had -10 w/wc this morning.....

Yea, that same cold air that hit us at the beginning of the weekend headed towards Illinois.

The middle of Kansas actually reached into the 50s yesterday, and that heat up is suppose to head our way in KCMO. But with the snowpack, we'll be lucky to reach 40.

 

[Coach81]

We're going to hit the 50s today... and a gradual warm-up will begin for us in the south by the end of the week.. good news indeed...

 

[keishashadow]

i am here

in my head

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Still in our "heat wave" here

... hubby and I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood this afternoon it was so warm

 

[macraven]

all i know is that it is snowing here again right now.

 

[donaldduck352]

Good evening all..

 

[minniejack]

quit your bragging...



think we'll be staying at Poly--tall family of 4--AND even though we're from WV--I don't think the kids want to share a bed...


We decided that since this will probably be the last time as a family for the motherland that we'd splurge. And Disney special needs has assured me that they can accommodate my gluten free needs at club level--and that, to me, would be worth not having to forage for food in the morning hours. Just not a morning person.

Keisha--I haven't been following the indoor football news--is your son still the coach?? Do we even still have a team?? Just past you guys up the road, Laurel Highlands, they were hit with 20" in one night...eeks.

My little 10 pound Sheltie, Jack, loved the snow so much that he took off in the temps that hit a low of below 0 wind chill; gone for almost 24 hrs. Someone from about 8 miles away, as the crow flies, found him on their door step. Poor little guy.
