Why this wound up on the Fox station in Colorado, I'll never know. The report and hotels in the piece are all from the Atlanta area. Anyway, I am in no way a germ-phobe or anything, but... ewwwww...

Hi guys - guess where I am? Yep you got it - work!

Enjoyed the tombstone/drinking, alien stories! I'm again at least caught up on reading all the replies, if not responding! Mac - why do you stay up so late? I can understand Lori because I think she's in a different time zone (I could be wrong!). But I know you're in my zone!

Chicago would be a great place for a meet because I could drive down. Don't know if I'd be able to get away with flying anywhere (okay, I'm pretty sure I couldn't). We could all do the Segway tour along the waterfront! I've done it a few times already and it's a lot of fun. If not I'd vote for Orlando and bring DS14 along!

My uncle (and godfather) is in the process of moving to Celebration believe it or not! They're remodeling the house this year, but have told us we're welcome to stay (they have a guest apartment) once it's all done! Maybe that would reduce the cost enough to get it to fly with DH?

And I'm too busy working on my real (snail mail) Christmas cards to try to figure out virtual ones! Anyone wants a real one, just send me a PM! Although I think you guys have already seen all the pics in it and probably aren't interested in the rest (or have already heard it and more here!). I managed to shrink our 16 days down in Orlando to less than one paragraph so detailed it isn't!

Okay, back to pretending to work!

either place fine with me.
lots to do at both cities.

i suggested a date this summer as it is a long time to wait until october to see the homies. and, i thought it might interfer with those with the kidlettes and their school schedule.

can anyone go for a few days in oct?

i will be in philly a few days in oct. don't know the dates yet as meeting mr mac after his business conference.

i stay up late as i can't sleep until everyone in the house is asleep. it's a long story. don't want to bore you.
i have had to get by on as little as 3 hours of shut eye some days. on those days i start the coffee very early so i can stay awake in the classroom.

i quit posting at 2 and 3 in the mornings here as i know someone will ask how the card game went......


i like playing pretend too marcie!

Sharon - I was responding to the two things that Todd said. The singing rocks in response to the annoying ditty at WDW... and the Airplane! comment in response to the "stop calling her Shirley" bit. The two aren't connected, I was just too tired to divide his one post into two quotes.

Raven - I have a drunks-saying-thanks story, but I don't think it will compare with a tombstone. How drunk do you have to be in order to think breaking off a tombstone and depositing it in someone's driveway is a good idea?

Here is mine. Well, it isn't actually my story. This is one that an old friend of mine used to tell. When he was still in high school, he and his buddies used to gather in a vacant lot to do their drinking. Sorta the same theory you had... they were away from everyone else and never got bothered by the law. One winter night, they were standing around an oil drum burning whatever scrap wood they could find to keep them warm while they were drinking. Scott (my friend) drank way too much and passed out. His buddies drove him home and dumped him on his front lawn. They started to drive away, but being concerned friends, they decided that he might get cold lying there on his front lawn all night... so, they drove back to the vacant lot, put the burning barrel in the back of their pickup truck, took it back to Scott's house, and set it beside him on his front lawn.

Scott used to say that his parents were "less than pleased" to wake up and find their teenaged son passed out on the lawn with a barrel of junk smouldering beside him.

i like that story a lot.
mind if i send it in to readers digest for the $25 reward?

i'll change the names to keep them protected..



that story is a real hoot!

 

[macraven]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!

Don't worry, your story is safe with me! (I promise I won't call the law)

i see you are checking out the invisible writings........can't fool ya'

How do I make my pickle and snowman smaller? I tried to resize them in photobucket but that didn't work...

have never heard of anyone wanting their pickle smaller





tricia, love your family pic.

 

[marciemi]

I am bored! I am SO bored! Where is everyone?! Just two more hours of excruciating excitement here!

Sharon - I don't know! You might try the tech board, but they've never been too much help for me! I can't figure out how to get more in my signature - I obviously have a lot of wasted space, but I didn't have room for pickles, etc.

Hey - Tricia's here! Hi Tricia! I'm so bored I've been hanging out on the Community Board and even responding!

marcie if you would have looked north, you would have seen i was here.


or maybe she did......

 

[marciemi]

Hi Mac! Didn't see you there without your light on! I'm sorry, I guess I'm blond too because I'm pretty lost on your secret writings?! I did find it on one where someone's quoted it and the white showed up on yellow, but sometimes (like in the tombstone story) you reference them and I can't find any. Help me!

And, by the way, still bored!

 

[macraven]

ok marcie, i'll deal the cards, wanna play.......winner take all

 

[macraven]

marcie, i use the white color to do invisible writings.
have done it off and on for some time.

i noticed someone found another one of mine in the tombstone story.




my mother told my children about the tombstone story.
she still is a tad peeved about it.

 

[marciemi]

Mac - I'd figured it was the white on white, but still couldn't find it anywhere in the story. Maybe it's the small monitor here at work and my eyes! I'll try harder when I get home!

What're we playing? Do you play Euchre or is that too much of a Michigan thing? Guess I could probably find solitaire on my computer and just play all by myself!

 

[Sharon G]

Hi Marcie - are you still at work? I have those days too where you have to try and look busy. I think it's more tiring than actually working!
Where I work, they have blocked the games on the computer..
Have a safe trip home.

 

[marciemi]

I am here, I am here, I am here! Work, that is! Yep, still here and still fascinated! Got about another 45 minutes to go. I think I can, I think I can!

Don't know if the games are blocked here. I'm just hoping they aren't tracking the sites I'm on. Although, most of the tmie I'm doing stuff simultaneously - typing and reading here while stuff is scanning and loading.

Basically the way my week works is that on Monday I work like crazy and manage to get everything done by the end of the day. On Tuesday, I can work at a normal pace, read the DIS, and still get everything done, but also kind of have enough to do (yesterday was an exception). Wednesday and Thursday, I finish what I have in half an hour and spend the next 5 doing busy work.

I really don't think I need to be coming in an hour early like they have me, but they keep insisting things will pick up after the first of the year. If they don't, by Feb or so, I'm going to ask to go back down an hour. And maybe even beg to have that hour at the end of the day so I could get home to the kids. Right now our after school time is impossible. But we'll see. For now - just bored!
