That's awesome!

One two Freddy's coming for you. Three four better lock your door. Five six grab your crucifix. Seven eight better stay up late. Nine ten never sleep again.

Bonny..................those pictures are amazing, it looks fantastic there. I am quite jealous. The tour looks fascinating too.

Confession time..........I have never seen any of the Nightmare on Elm Street films At that time, when they were all coming out I was too racked with fear of Michael Myers and the Halloween movies.........My brain couldn`t have taken any more maniacal maniacs in my psycho fearing imagination!!!!

Maybe one day I`ll watch them. Maybe not though.


125 days till Orlando I`m not allowed to mention it at home as it`s "Too far away yet"

Hey, it`s a countdown .....so I`m counting down

Hey all ... I've done some post-processing on some of my photos ... I posted a few in the Ultra Wide Lens thread if you want to check them out to see the difference

Morning friends! One of my fondest movie memories of my teen years was when I took my girlfriend (now my wife of over 18 years) and her friend to see "A Nightmare on Elm Street".. I had each one sitting on either side of me.. I looked like such a stud.. Until the "scary parts" happened and each one dug their finger nails into my arms.. When we walked out the theatre my arms looked like Freddie got a hold of me!!!

Life is good, school is slowly winding down.. only 5 days left until our Spring Break.. then we get a week and a day off.. when we go back the school is basically in "shut down" mode for the last few weeks...
Really enjoying my new TV.. it is fantastic.. especially the "3D" effects... WOW..

Have a great day everyone!!!

how cool is that? admit to never hearding the term before lol, for those results it probably falls into category of "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it" for me lol

I get to visit dr death aka my dentist today, have ignored one of my longstanding fillings telling me it requires attention for over a year...darn needy teeth

good day all

 

[minniejack]

No hot tub yesterday...store ordered wrong ionizer...next week. DD is just worried that it won't be here in time for the after after prom.... Maybe that's a good thing for us

LOL at Dr Death

When I was about 10 we had a dentist who must have been about 103, well he looked it and he was known as the Butcher!!! For very good reason. I think he was the reason kids from that part of the west of Scotland had bad teeth and now spend a small fortune on crowns!!

Howdy all! Got my travel agent card today! Still not a real travel agent at work...yet...but I do book hotels and rental cars so I'm able to get the card. Which equals out to cheaper tickets to Uni ($146 for 4-day park to park as opposed to $157 with the AAA discount). And I also get a free 2-day Disney ticket with park hopper and the water park and more option. So now I have to schedule a Disney day in, lol.

Edit: I think I will go to Animal Kingdom from open till 4 or so. Then go to Disney Quest (I've never been and want to) and head back to RPR aroun 7 or so? Then pool hop the rest of the evening. I thought about going to the other parks, but I spent a lot of time in all of them last trip, except AK. I'll probably swim a little Wed evening as well. Studios close kinda early that night so I think I will have time, in case I extend my Disney day (Illuminations anyone? Or maybe Wishes since I missed that last year as well).

I've been on that board since I started.Learned alot of great recipes for cooking there and added some of my own.

The sad part is nobody looks at that part of the boards.One poster on the CB said "It is too boring there to post".Well there loss our gain!!!

Here is a great dinner idea that went over big in my house I got from there:
And, my current favorite (not form that website):
French Dip Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1 (4 pound) boneless beef roast
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 beef bouillon cube
1 bay leaf
3 whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
20 slices French bread

Directions:
Remove and discard all visible fat from the roast. Place trimmed roast in a slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, bouillon, bay leaf, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder. Pour mixture over roast, and add enough water to almost cover roast. Cover, and cook on Low heat for 10 to 12 hours, or until meat is very tender.
Remove meat from broth, reserving broth. Shred meat with a fork, and distribute on bread for sandwiches. Used reserved broth for dipping.

i'll say congrats, but it's my understanding the industry is cracking down on the TA ID card thing as it was being abused. Pretty sure that in order to earn an actual IATAN card (the one you need to produce when you check in to receive hotel discounts) you must work in industry for 6 months & produce minimum of $5K commissionable income. Just being an affiliate of TA only gives u access to the # to book travel not the TA IATAN discount. Any TAs feel free to comment, i had seriously thought of signing on with an agency until i found out i'd never be able to produce the $5k working homebased.

According to IATAN's website, to be eligible for an ID card you must: "Meet the legal minimum working age in the jurisdiction where duties are performed; Work at least 5 hours per week; Be regularly on the payroll or commission disbursement records of the accredited location." And "Any person working at the agency location who is drawing a salary. However, he/she must be currently involved in the administration and/or sale of travel." Also mentioned: "Be working at a Travel Agency location with an IATA assigned Inudustry Numeric Code, and Be 16 years of age or over (18 years of age in Canada), and Devote at least 20 hours a week to the business of the agency in a remunerated position" all of which I do meet.

And one of our corporate travel people confirmed I'm eligible.

working @ a B&M is different if you're salary (the TAs working even @ AAA in these parts are all subcontractors so they must meet the above minimum commision requirements)

It's quite the nice job perc for you!!! So do you have a 'real' IATAN card you can produce @ checkin? if so, directly pass go & start booking those heavily TA-discounted U onsite hotel rooms If not, whine until they give you one.

no daggers thrown ur way, just know of people who have gotten scammed by paying a hefty fee for what they thought was an IATAN or CLIA card on the internet & then found out it was worthless when the providers wouldn't honor it.

yay andy--just being on these boards IMHO gives you a heads up to most agents who don't know a thing about the parks (but they're experts, right?) Good luck
