You win again!!!

i just read them and i know the answer also.....
am i too late to win a prize?

Technically, I won the first one.

what did you win?
did she send you snow for first prize?

Good Morning Homies

Hi ya St L.
hope you are on the mend and the place where the teeth used to be don't hurt anymore.
i see your weather was good then it went bad.
you'll be back to great spring temps probably by the time you read this.

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.

i love that poem......!

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

woo hoo, countdown's are kewl......
you will be there before 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!!!

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]if i have the dates correct, you should be hitting the road tomorrow.
i know you will have a great time.
be sure to take pictures for us.[/FONT]

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

how was the date with Dr. Death?
was he hot?

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

put ice in that hot tub so the teens don't stay in it very long........

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.

congratulations andy!
you're the man that will give us the deep discounts, eh......

Hey youse......I got a ticker !!!

i'm all ears.
tell me when.
i'm not good at counting pass the fingers and toes so figuring out your date is taxing my little brain.
i hope youse will be there when i am.
finally get to meet youse then.

Hello all!

Well I am on my way to the Motherland!

Well, that is, I was.....a hose broke in the car and we are stuck in Maryland!!

Luckily, we got to a Walmart and met a gentleman whose son is a mechanic. The son came over and checked out the car. He is going to get us the parts we need and fix the car tomorrow. Luckily, there were many hotels and that's where we are...a Holiday Inn Express.

oh my goodness!!!!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love 37 degrees with steady rain and occasional bursts of sleet? Yeah I didn't think so!! Anyone want to swap weather!

marci, i know weather.
we have it here also.
just like youse.
but maybe not as much snow.

Not I said the little one. However I would like to swap allergies!
It's been highs in ATLEAST the high 70s since groundhog day and my allergies are going nuts! They usually don't get this bad til summer... but apparently the plants missed the same memo as the weather and decided its summer in April. What a glorious Summer this year will bring. *has a heat stroke*

i would love a heat wave..........

Sure ... we had a spring snow storm yesterday and got another 15 cm of snow (which for you non metric peeps is about 6 inches) ... and it was WET so very heavy ... I'll swap with ya

i bet the doggies hate it too.
that is unless you shovel a path for them outside.

good thing it didn't snow on your CA vacation.

Today is opening day for our local Six Flags but we are going to hold off until tomorrow. Today it's overcast, in the mid 40's with 30 mph wind gusts. Tomorrow is supposed to be partly sunny and in the lower 70's. I think we can wait a day.

Today's weather won't stop me from grilling though. I currently have some chicken legs marinating in Walkerswood Jerk Paste to grill up tonight. I'm also making Jamaican Rice n Peas and grilling up fresh sliced pineapple dusted with some Pineapple Head by Dizzy Pig.

i miss 6 flags over mid america.
i let my season pass there expire last year.
i have great america that is a 10 minute drive from my house but like the one in Eureka better.

Hey all !!

Been busy here SPRING BREAK is here ... Now I wish spring would join us too !!! LOL
Cold and rainy here ... Our Six Flags Opened last week MH and we had great weather ... we were suppose to go back today but no luck it is way too cold and rainy to go ... I do believe they are still open as of now though ..UGH

Looking forward to a small trip to Hershey Park this up coming weekend !! DD the middle one is going to be Sweet 16 this Friday so we are bringing her friend along with us OH JOY 4 Kids !! ...

Planning her trip to USF this Nov is becoming a challenge .. Still no air fare on Jet Blue yet What are they waiting for Release the Nov dates already !!!


Have a great day everyone !! Out to dinner soon with the family !!

i found american having the best fall rates so far.
check them out if yhou can use them.

And it's STILL snowing. Sorry about complaining about the rain yesterday. Guess it CAN be worse!

i know, the snow here started at 3 in the morning.
right now, not much on the ground here.
whew......

Thank you!

your daughter looks like a model.
she is gorgeous!

Great pics gals! interesting to see the variations in style of dresses in different parts of the country. ps im pretty sure DS isn't going to the promi'm secretly thrilled not to go thru the hoopla again as he's not dating anybody & already has one under his belt lol. limo's are better idea than the kids driving distractedor in our school's policy if no limo you have to ride a chartered bus to the prom, not exactly elegant.

i was lucky.
only one of my boys did a skool dance.
fall festival and i got off cheap.....

WE ARE FINALLY HERE!

So we got the car fixed and left Maryland around 1 pm.

We hit Virginia and got slightly past DC, and then traffic begins......supposedly 40 miles of it!! We had to take a detour, but that was back up as well. 60 miles = 4 hours!!!

We finally get out of VA, and into NC (which was crazy rain and storming at this point) and we notice that around exit 116...the traffic has stopped again! We jump off and take side roads.

We stop at a gas station and the locals told us that there had been a tornado and I-95 South was a mess....trucks flipped, power outages, debris, etc. We had just missed it.

So after yet another detour...we finally got back on 95 and it was smooth sailing to FL (whew)

Sorry for the dull story, but it took us a day and a half to get here from NY

yay........Kfish is there and safe and sound.
take pics.......

Yay!!! Finally got my upgrade on my phone and I'm getting a refurbed 3GS iPhone for $19!!! I'm so excited!!

i'm not getting one but chocolate excites me.

morning all



i have a hard enough time getting my kid to put his laundry away

i hear ya on that one.......

Good Morning homies, I have a busy day of cleaning, packing and what not, leaving tomorrow for the beach, won't have internet access.....boooooo. Anyways, I'll check back here after Easter. So, have a great week and a wonderful Easter. (save me some chocolate)

have a great time at the beach.
pick me up at the corner. i wanna go too.
i'll be waiting for youse.

6-10 inches tomorrow night into Wed?! WTH Mother Nature?

I know, it's all my fault for getting the snow tires off my car on Friday and having DH drain the snowblowers this weekend. Sigh - you'd think by late April you'd be safe!

ps - that's 15-25cm for you "Bonnie" types!

Although they're saying the actual amount may be highly affected by the amount that falls as freezing rain or sleet instead. Oh, that sounds SO much nicer!

i know, the weather sucks here.
sometimes we get snow in May.
something to look forward to.

 

[RAPstar]

Hey Mac!!! Sorry to hear about the loss and your sons accident. Hope all is getting better. <3

 

[macraven]

thank you andy.

 

[keishashadow]

mac - im so sorry to hear of your losshow are you?

 

[Coach81]

Hey guys.. just a quick check in..

Spring break is just around the corner.. hopefully I'll grab some time to catch up and hang out a bit more.. I miss you guys..

 

[minniejack]

Mac sorry to hear of your loss
Hope your son gets better quickly

Andy just either keep hitting "back" button until you see Do you want to exit browser highlighted and just ok it or just pull up close and do it that way. Most people close it out. It's just like turning off the lights; you just do it and it's done without even thinking about it.

Spring break...what's that? Kiddos went to school a week early this year to factor in a break for once, but it was all taken away due to the weather. We have Good Friday off and Easter Monday and that's it. And coaches who schedule games on both. DD is throwing a fit about how sacrilegious it is to have games on Friday; her father said to go--I said to skip. She's old enough to figure it out for herself.

Good day everyone on this terrific tornado-like Tuesday

[minniejack]

New teeth...I remember when my mom got new dentures. She kept practicing, "Sally sat by the seashore selling sweet sh**"

 

[Mad Hattered]

Hey....we're going to be having tornado-like Tuesdays this afternoon again!! This morning we awoke to golf ball sized hail!

 

[keishashadow]

i'm off to the dentist now.
or as keisha calls it, 'dr. death'......

dr death is cheap & does good work but looks exactly like Mr Blonde of Resevoir Dogs

 

[Mad Hattered]

We gathered up the kitties and are currently hunkered down in the basement while the tornado sirens are screaming. It's hailing it's *** off right now!!!

[EPRV We love Disney]

hello......hello.........hello perv.....i mean eprv......

it is soooo good to see youse here.
did you bring a note from mom to explain your absence?



jump in anytime and join us here.
once you have posted, you are a homie.
homies are always welcomed at anytime!

i had a death in the family and have been mia for some days.
this weekend, one son had a car accident and you know, life gets different priorities then.

but, i am back and need to read and play ketchup here.


next time you come, bring a box of doughnuts for us hungry homies.......

Tanks for the shout out!!
i feel special.

Oh Mac, so sorry to hear of your loss... and an accident too... not fun. I hope your son is OK..



I have brought you'all a donut. Yep, just one donut, cause it's really, really big....

I know it's not much, but looks so dang good...

My mom did write a note. It says "This one runs with scissors". Ha ha Mom, very funny...

I'm harboring trip report guilt. I came back from our trip in Nov. '09 with all good intentions of writing one... had started a pre-trip report and all... and then life caught up with me... that old story.....

Life's not any calmer, maybe I'm adapting

Been enjoying reading everyone's trip reports and maybe, just maybe contemplating an eventual return to the Darkside.... but maybe a solo trip...

So, you'll be hearing more from me for sure...
E (aka perv! )

[Mad Hattered]

Thanks for the thoughts! We made it through but there have been tornados all over the place, and I hate to do it to you Minnie and Keisha....but it's headed your way. We tied a high record for today at 88 degrees f (that's like 50 something C for Bonny). It's currently 56 degrees and another round of severe storms kicked up which is really weird with it being so cool now.

My parents REALLY got nailed with the hail this morning. They live about 30 miles south and had tennis ball sized hail. It wasted their vehicles and damaged the roof pretty badly. Mom said she ran out and grabbed some pieces of hail (hopefully after it STOPPED hailing...but I'm not putting it past her) and she currently has them in her freezer. I will try to get pics of it. We just saw it on TV and it made me really crave a snowcone.

 

[macraven]

perv, you crack me up.....


i hope the scissors were the blunt type they have in kindergarten.......not the pointy ones...


i have been doing annual trips since 1993.
i have good intentions of posting my trip reports but just haven't gotten around to it yet.............

but i still have my notes from each year if that counts for something.

solo trip?
i do them, started going solo in 2004.
i love it that way.
i end up finding homies that will be there when i will and meet up with them.
and still love meeting up with the locals there that i have met online here.

thanks for the kind words on son and car.
car is replaceable
son isn't.
he will be fine.


since i am the first to respond to your post, that means i get the first bite of the donut....
