Something you never heard of until you read the DIS

[Robinrs]

do you mean brand new clothes? because they are full of chemicals to make them shiney or easy to fold or whatever. you can even get chemical burns sometimes.

I'm sure everyone has their reasons but I've been wearing clothing for 54 years without a chemical burn...

Okay, I have to share a funny story here that even you child haters (or at least seat-kicker haters ) will appreciate. When we flew home from Disney in 1997, youngest son was 23 months old. We'd bought him a separate ticket and of course brought his car seat on the plane. Well, when we were boarding, the woman in front of us took the window seat. A man came a bit later and pointed out it was his seat and she got all huffy, telling him she had been there first and maybe he should board on time (they were still boarding ), etc. and raising her voice and eventually refusing to move. Deciding not to make a scene, the man just sat down in the middle seat.

Well, of course since my son was in a car seat, his seat was the window one behind her. And of course since he was 23 months (and we're all pretty tall!), his feet in that car seat had no trouble reaching her seat. Now normally I would have done everything to keep him from kicking - including holding his legs down if necessary and/or removing him from the seat once we were in the air. But in this case, I just spent the entire flight saying in a toneless monotone, "No, no, dear. We mustn't kick." And when she kept glancing over her shoulder and glaring at me (since of course I was in the middle), I'd just smile, shrug my shoulders, and give her a "Kids - what can you do?" glance! I'll bet that although it probably didn't prevent her from doing the same thing in the future, it at least ensured she made sure there wasn't a kid in a car seat behind her before doing it!

Now that is the perfect kicking story : ) I liked it LOL I love kids just the kind like I had . The kind of kid that knows "the look" bawwahahaha The" do you need to have me take you to the bathroom look " My 18mo Grandchild is a busy busy child so we bought 1st class tickets so she would have lots of room in her seat and we got the front row so there was no one to kick . She was really into looking back at the other 4 rows and also wanted to see what was behind that curtain. But she was pretty good

I've learned some wonderful tips about WDW on disboards, which helped me become a Disney fanatic.

I've learned about people from all over the world, and was surprised at the different ways we do even the simplest things. I also learned a lot about the Catholic faith, for a paper I had to do for grad school. I asked my students if any of them were Catholic and would they mind talking to me about it. The most common response I got was "I'm not Catholic, I'm Christian." So yes, that belief is common down here. Luckily, my fellow disers were kind enough to answer my questions!

Unfortunately, I've learned just how small minded some people are as well. Just tonight (since I seem to have insomnia) I learned that we southerners have a very poor work ethic, and according to the wise poster it is well known. Oh, and teachers are part-time workers who only work 6 hours a day. I guess my school missed that memo! Before I forget, I'm cruel for taking my baby to WDW in the summer. I'm cruel for even having a baby at my age (37)!

We do graduation invitations, show up for the viewing the night before the funeral, and don't double up on wedding/shower gifts BTW!

I learned about the paint brushes at Tom Sawyer's Island.

If you get to the park early and go over to Tom Sawyer Island you can search for the "hidden" paintbrushes on the island. You find one you get fastpasses for either Splash or Big Thunder for you whole party.
It was a fun thing to do.- ask before you take the raft if there are brushes left. To save you the trip.

I've never heard of someone getting angry over a person backing into a spot.

I think it is part of the same phenomenon that causes kids to get sick from going outside without a hat on.

Ok, I missed the Catholic not being Christian debate--what is that all about. Being Catholic the whole thing is news to me. The guy hanging on the Cross in the front of our church is who then? Did all the nuns LIE to me about believing in Jesus????

Well, if you ever venture out of NJ, you open the gas tank door, turn the gas cap to the left to take it off, take the hose from the pump and insert into the hole (unless of course you are afraid of holes ). The tricky part is knowing what kind of pump you have, you either have to lift a handle for the pump to turn on or push a button. If all else fails, there is a call button to the store clerk and you can just call in and say "I'm from New Jersey, I don't know how to use this" and they will come help.

Well, back in the days when we had religious debates on here, at least one person would make a comment about how Catholics really aren't Christians, because that's what their pastor told them, and how the Catholics would burn in hell. Here's a thread from a few months ago:

I've never heard anything about burns, but manufacturers do use all sorts of chemicals when making clothes, so I prefer to wash things before I wear them. And I always wash jeans first, simply to wash out the extra dye. Otherwise, I end up with blue legs!

I normally wash but sometimes you just can't. one time my son had a nose bleed at walmart and the front bathrooms were closed and the GUY that was cleaning them refused to let son in. He bled from the front to the back bathrooms. he got blood everywhere on him and the floor! I told the manager what had happened and also told him that I had to buy son new clothes b/c we had plans and had no time to go home. I don;t know what happened to the guy but the manager gave son new clothes. So he had to were them then!

I consider myself a worldly type of gentleman but I do not believe I have ever seen another thread dedicated to the disturbing fantasy of necrophilia outside of the Dis Board. Disturbing in deed.

I remember that when I was younger, my parents would buy me a new pair of wranglers and if you worn them before washing, you got some really nice blue legs out of the deal!!

hmmm, wonder if that is where the idea of blue people from Avatar came from?
