Something About Nothing..........# 9

Me thinks those lights on the awning look like the electrified, terrified pumpkin lights you can buy at Wal-mart during a certain time of year

Yeah.....and they don't play the Halloween theme music at all either

Mr Mad, the pics of your camper need another viewing.......

it looks awesome!!!


sleeping over the cab gives you a good view.


i know you'll enjoy taking that baby out all the time now...


btw, do the cats like it?
you do bring them with youse don't you.....?

We have felt a quake or two in my lifetime here in St Louis. Mac pretty much explained the fault that we live on.

Here are a few pics of the new camper set up from last week. We are also going back to that same park for the Labor day holiday...

how's your butt today andy?

erm....what have I missed or is it better no tae ask ??


Hey Youse, wanted to make sure all ma homies were safe after the funky weather and quakes youse are havin.

Mac, we don't have a bed above the cab. We have an entertainment center with a 25" tv and dvd player. There is a single bed that can pull out in front of the TV in case of emergency but I don't plan on using that. It has a walk around queen bed in the back of it.

I will go out right now and take some pics of the inside and post them later tonight.

 

[Mad Hattered]

OK, here are some pics of the inside. We feel like the Jeffersons since we left the tent life behind.

This is entering the door...

Looking toward the front...

Looking back towards the bathroom/bedroom...

The bathroom...

The bedroom. Dana is upset that the sheets and bedspread are not on but they are being cleaned...notice the vintage Mickey nightlight that came with camper

Not too shabby if I say so myself. We got this thing for a steal!! Put it this way, it was $11,000 less than my Dodge Stratus!

MH - that's one spiffy camper if I do say so

 

[coastermom]

OK here is what I got from the air line as I was trying to figure out the size of my daughters carry on .. ".The maximum combined linear measurement (L + W + H) of the carry-on bag is 45 inches (115 cm)up to 14 in x 9 in x 22 in. The maximum weight of the carry-on bag is 40 pounds (18 kg)." or so how do I measure the COMBINED LINEAR MEASUREMENT ?? I am so confused .. Does the bag have to be 14x9x22 when I measure with my measuring tape ? She has a duffle bag from Brookstone and wants to use that as her luggage so how do I know if it is too big ?

Ok now on to figure out how to get another night at the BC and change my flight so I can get to this dam vacation !! Sunday is not going to work leaving from NJ so now we try to get out on Saturday !

Measure the length, the height and the width of the duffle bag - it should add up to less than 45 inches. However, if the duffle bag is longer than 22 inches, or wider than 14 inches, or more than 9 inches high, it will be too big to fit in the overhead compartment and will most likely have to be checked rather than used as a carry-on.

THANK YOU !!! You know I am not a plane person when this question is asked ! LOL ... Now on to see if we can escape the storm and get to Disney before she hits here !! Not sure if this is going to even happen now !! SO STRESSED this is way too much more money for me to even think of spending !!

Edited to add - Oops, sorry about the language - I honestly didn't even notice - guess that's what happens when you have three teen boys. Don't click the link if you're offended by non-DIS-friendly language!

marci, good to see youse here.
wanna play a hand of old maid with me?
going on 2:00 and i have insomnia....



well, i read the cartoon.
did you notice the F bomb in it?

that's okay, i laughed when i saw it.
kind of made the cartoon real, if you know what i mean...


how's the boys doing?

 

[marciemi]

"Boys" is doing well - just not for the most part HERE! Matt completed jump school (and had a blast):

And also Global Engagement and Survival Training:

Stephen left last weekend for Boston and MIT - out in Rhode Island actually this week for NROTC "Indoc" (mini basic training). A pic of him in his dorm room Saturday:

Which actually looks like this on the outside (it was voted one of the top 10 "coolest" dorms in the country this year):

Meanwhile, if I didn't tell you guys, Royce accepted a job with Amazon.com in Indianapolis and moved down there around 2 weeks ago. Plan is for Eric and I to finish out this year of HS here for him so we've been super busy with college applications once again. Yes, he's technically going to be a junior, but he's just going to try to see where he can get in this year. Got a 36 on his ACT in June and has a 4.0 and 7 AP's already after sophomore year so we'll hope for the best. The school will allow him to graduate a year early so that's not an issue (since he's been taking classes at the HS since 6th grade and had enough credits to graduate last year!). We'll see what happens! Also been working really hard toward getting the house on the market (which happened a few weeks ago) and to keep it clean daily!

But the house seems awfully quiet these days!

Morning all!

Marcie: seems like you're raising 3 genisues there, lol. Congrats on you DH's new job (I love Amazon, BTW. I do almost all my non-grocery shopping there, lol).

Today is pay day!!! Only 2 more pay days after this till I'm in Florida (and one while I'm there, haha!). I can't wait for this trip!!

That's exactly what I was thinking, you must be so proud of them marci. Congrats on DH finding a job.

Just stopped in to say Hi to everyone, and hope everyone stays safe in the upcoming weather this weekend. ttfn

 

[macraven]

marcie, i remember seeing your boys when they were 'littles'....
well, kind of as they were a lot younger then.....

proud mommies should be about to brag about their kids all they want!!

i enjoy hearing about how they are progressing in life and accomplishing many great things.



i would not mind living in/around indianopolis.
i liked it there.

WOOHOO. Just booked an impromptu trip to Disney for 9-10 thru 9-15. Our friends have been hounding us to show them and their kids around Disney since they have never been. Yesterday we got an offer to stay here for $33/ night. Dana just came back and told me to book the trip. She didn't have to tell me twice!!
