[smidgy]

Monica, if this is a soap opera, can I bring Erica with me on the next trip?
My luck I'll get stuck with David Canary.

.

wow! he really DOES listen to me- what a guy! of course, he's the only 52 year old man I know that looks VERY yummy in a tank top and still knows who "belle" is! (how did I get so lucky? )

 

[smidgy]

Your lives are like a soap opera. I can't believe I missed all the excitement.

Here's to reading about bigger and better things.

So if our dates overlap at all in September, please let me know. I will be on the lookout for you. It would be great to meet a fellow Diser.....especially one as creative in writing as you

everyone!!
Howdy Neighbors (Nebo Smidgey -
Guess we'll see you in the World - just so you know its a small world!!

At least I can count on Nebo to make me laugh (even if it's about a poor little baby, with a really bad name!) Thanks!

So sorry to hear this, Nebo. Employers are very stupid sometimes.
Gives you the opportunity to open that next door, right?



:

Seriously, I"m sorry for all the crap you're going thru. We've been through uneployment before, and it inhales greatly. (my mom hates when I use the word suck, soooo unlady like!)

Will your Sante Fe hold all those tools to take to FL for your upcoming move? See, I'm optomistic that you guys will move to where you've wanted for a long time.
All us followers are rooting for you. Angela

Nebo!
Oh... and I am very sorry about the job situation too... but glad you just might get to the happy place even sooner than planned!

Boy, a girl goes to Disney for 10 days and she misses alot.

Great updates

Sucks about the jobs.......My parents live 10 minutes from Disney, so PM me if you want info on the area. They live in a 55 and older community at the end of 192. They both work for Disney and LOVE it there.

Janet

Sorry about the job Nebo, at least the waiting for the other shoe to drop part is over. So, it looks like we're going to be at WDW the exact same dates as you and Diane so that makes it just over 3 weeks till our happy place!
Maggie

I really feel for you about the job, Nebo. I have lost two really good jobs in my life - in areas that were supposed to be "layoff-proof." I started to wonder if I was a jinx.

But I can honestly say that each layoff, while traumatic at the time, led to a better place, and a better me. It also taught me that I could handle adversity and come out a happier person on the other side.

Prayers and pixie dust to you and Diane. I hope it won't be long until you both find your new and better places.

Nebo ....I just read the My Stupid Job ...Is gone Update......I know you knew it was coming...& I hope All is well.....


Any way...You Know I will hire you ...& Diane...Just come on to Georgia....& you have Job with My Company!!!!!

& heck...You will be Closer to the Promised Land!!!

OK I shall say good Night!!!1

[/QUOT

thank you all SO much!!! you guys and this stuff keeps us going! no kidding here. your love, hugs, prayers and pixie dust... well ... shucks!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Sweeties!!! I hope it all works out! That just sucks!!!
I freaked out too when I saw the words Final Chapter"....sheesh!


Diane! I LOVE All My Children (the soap and my children...all of 'em) Been watching that for years!!!!

 

[celerystalker]

I'm a little late to the party.
I love Utah so much! I have to play her "Stupid game" now.
I was -1 in 75.
But I feel old now.
As someone said awhile back, Celery is no longer crunchy.

I see Marita was talking about the villages again. We should pool our resources and send her there for her vacation.

Your list made me laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I disagree with Space mountain - isn't it pretty much a straight line?
if you held onto the rail, I think you'd be ok.

I think ASSports is my least favorite.

I don't get the simon reference. I call him scar.
but I'll go look it up.

Ahh. Haven't seen that trilogy -or are there four of them now?
But I will. Soon. I promise.

[Piglets Mommy]

Thanks for another great Update, Nebo. Sorry about the job. My computer's not letting me multiquote, so I'll just make it short and sweet this time! Thanks for all the laughs!

 

[myrsfmly]

Hi Nebo, I'm reading your report from Disney!!! I laughed to myself thinking of your mishaps (and moved carefully) on each of the ride lines you mentioned, and moaned right along with my whiny kids during the preshow of HISTA!

[nebo]

I'm sorry, it's been a little bit hectic here, what with me feeling sorry for myself, but still running around and trying to get things done for next week. And it's kinda hard to run around and get things done when you can barely stand up straight. Yes, I can't believe this happened again. And I need to save some of "my little friends" for the upcoming trip. But they keep calling me, calling me, neeeebooo, over here, in the drawer.

Yes, insanity has won out over sanity. When I met the new owners the other day, and they said they didn't have time to talk now, but maybe , even though we are no longer employed, they might call us in next week. That's a seventy mile round trip for me, just to talk to someone who might offer me a job that will then turn into a 180 mile round trip to Wisconsin. Not only is that the wrong direction, but I don't think I could take listening to Packer talk all the time. That's when I decided the heck with it, we're leaving Thursday morning, taking our time to drive down, and checking into Pop for 5 nights, starting Sat. Then, we get to keep those ressies Diane made back in April, for 3 nights at the Dolphin for 125 a night. We will pull back up into the driveway on Monday, and on the next sat. , we fly down for the regularly scheduled free dining trip.
If you think you're confused,,,,,, oy vey!
No, the Dec. thing I recently mentioned is out. Damn. And a value for 45 a night. We just have to take it now, since if we do start over, who knows when the next trip will be.

Is there a way to defragment my brain? I know how to do it for the computer, but my brain really needs it. I'm so tired of walking into a room and then wondering what I came in for. And it would be nice to actually finish a sentence now and then. Usually I don't have to worry about that, that's what Diane is for, but lately even her brain needs defragmenting.

So anyway, I will have an actual new chapter up tomorrow, but in the meantime I want to say thanks to all of you that gave us kind words. Even though I'm only going to call out a few here, all of you have helped make a trying time a lot easier to cope with. ............steve

Triple Z, I think I have said, that it's been my experience that when one door closes, a manhole cover opens up, so , can I have what's in the box, instead of door number 1, 2, or 3?

We were in the 70's building -- maybe the mousekeeper was having a sixties flashback? :hippie

That's good stuff Z, Diane knows all about the flashback things.

Sounds like you're having some "depends" moments...............sorry, I just couldn't help myself. My fingers get ahead of me sometimes.
Seriously, I"m sorry for all the crap you're going thru. We've been through uneployment before, and it inhales greatly. (my mom hates when I use the word suck, soooo unlady like!)

Somehow, I just knew who was going to respond to the "constant", "incontinece" line. And don't worry, we will never let your mom know that WINKERS, A.K.A., CHERI, used the word suck, where millions of people can read, and then wonder what kind of upbringing this young woman has had.

Boy, a girl goes to Disney for 10 days and she misses alot.

Janet

Thanks Janet, I do hope to get over to your thread soon as I can, cuz I saw you have now started your own trippy. ANd I do have many questions for you.

Sorry about the job Nebo, at least the waiting for the other shoe to drop part is over. So, it looks like we're going to be at WDW the exact same dates as you and Diane so that makes it just over 3 weeks till our happy place!

Maggie

Yeah Maggie, getting excited? I still do. Where are you staying again? We'll be in the POR bayou, yelling at Lexy and Disneydad, "Hey, Wait Up!"

See, you're not "old" your memory has not failed you!! You may recognize me by my 6,000 posts (shhh dont tell dh, he already knows I'm crazy!) I am a follower - - I made it to a Maelstrom Meet... and I follow Utahwendythreadmomma!!!

Interesting about swimming at 3am in your neck of the woods!!

We may run into you at Ohare on the 22nd... if you hear a child scream, we're not torturing her, really... just a bad experience last year on Ted... they felt so bad about that experience they gave us vouchers for this trip!! DD doesnt trust United for some reason!! Hey, its not like its at Midway and a short runway on a stormy night eh?!!

Spiffy, absolutely spiffy. Wanna guess what airline we booked this time for the very first time? DING DING DING! Yep, you got it. TED. For seven in the morning. Well, at least it sounds like that screaming kid that you spaketh of won't be on our flight. Good.
I hate competion.
If you're around the same time, let me know, I'll come down to your terminal and make you realize what a good idea it was this time not to fly TED.

Nebo ....I just read the My Stupid Job ...Is gone Update......I know you knew it was coming...& I hope All is well.....


Any way...You Know I will hire you ...& Diane...Just come on to Georgia....& you have Job with My Company!!!!!


& heck...You will be Closer to the Promised Land!!!

Cool, Patrick, thanks for the offer. And I'm trying very hard not to quote the W.C. Fields line,,,, " I'm not sure I would want to join any company that would have someone like me for an employee." Well, something like that. See ya at Riverside.

wow! he really DOES listen to me- what a guy! of course, he's the only 52 year old man I know that looks VERY gummy in a tank top and still knows who "belle" is! (how did I get so lucky? )

gummy? did whe just say gummy?

Sweeties!!! I hope it all works out! That just sucks!!!
I freaked out too when I saw the words Final Chapter"....sheesh!


Diane! I LOVE All My Children (the soap and my children...all of 'em) Been watching that for years!!!!

Uma, you do realize that when we meet you, we want a picture of that same , exact look on your face that we have been seeing for a year and a half. I'll even bring the pepsi bottle.

I'm a little late to the party.
I love Utah so much! I have to play her "Stupid game" now.

Very good miss Celery. You were right about Scar, and you got the Simon ref, we both agree about AS Sports, and it is through one of my informants, that you have been working hard at becoming "crunchy" again. AND,,,, we cannot send Marita to the Villages until we get her to actually go INSIDE of Disney World.
And, no, there is nothing straight about the Space Mountain line. Groping along the rail doesn't work when you have a cheerleading troup behind you that has just consumed a case of Red Bull.

Welcome Aboard Longneck. You do realize that if you tell your mom some of the things you read here, we're both going to get in a lot of trouble, right?
I am jealous though. In a little over 3 months, you are going to have the time of your life. And it will all be brand, spanking new. I wish someone could erase my memory, so I could experience that feeling again.

Don't say it Jaime or Melinda, don't say it!

huh?


So. What you are saying is back to back Disney trips. Right?
That is most excellent.

 

[roberrl187]

I heard about this wonder TR at DD99's TR. I am really enjoying your report.

Subbing

DH and I will be at POR 9/22-10/1.

Is there a way to defragment my brain? I know how to do it for the computer, but my brain really needs it. I'm so tired of walking into a room and then wondering what I came in for. And it would be nice to actually finish a sentence now and then.

I went over to Walgreens tonight to tell Rhonda something. After she went back to work, I stood in the back of the store for 5 minutes trying to remember what it was I was going to pick up while I was there. I put money in my pocket for a reason when I left the house...

I ended up walking the ENTIRE store before I remembered it was a nail buffer I wanted - and those are right by the entrance!!!

I was in Walgreens about 20 minutes for a $3 item and a 1 minute conversation!!!

Don't say it Jaime or Melinda, don't say it!

Say what?

Hang in there, Nebo!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I am still here nebo!

Hubby and me are in nc for one more week. My Disney enabler friend rose is here with me and has revived the possibility of me going to fl at the end of Sept!

Are we still on for Friday night?

I am also sending more prayers and pixie dust that this upcoming trip is fruitful for you two.

 

[smidgy]

see, we first booked the free dining in early sept. that conflicted with a guy at nebo's work, so we moved it to mid sept, also partly because we found a deal for $125! a night at the dolphin ,(which we sandwhiched between 2 mods for free dining and ME) cheaper than a mod! walking distance to epcot and mgm!
alas, that was not to be . it conflicted with one of the owner's daughter at the bar. so on to late sept! but nebo was not ready yet to give up that dolphin deal. don't cancel just yet.
man, when they changed to no smoking rooms! it hurt even more. dolphin is the ONLY onsite hotel with smoking rooms.
sowhen nebo lost his job we thought, we have the time now, go on a recon mission, enjoy some pixie dust and...... the dolphin!!!! can't cancel the late sept free dining, airfair booked, guess we do both aw darn!!!!

 

[tiggerbell]

we have the time now, go on a recon mission, enjoy some pixie dust and...... the dolphin!!!! can't cancel the late sept free dining, airfair booked, guess we do both aw darn!!!!

And you both have all of our sympathies for having to ENDURE TWO SEPTEMBER TRIPS...

any of those new owners looking to acquire a roofing company, too???

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

wow! he really DOES listen to me- what a guy! of course, he's the only 52 year old man I know that looks VERY yummy in a tank top and still knows who "belle" is! (how did I get so lucky? )

gummy? did whe just say gummy?

Hey, I think that qualifies as dirty pool!


Seriously Nebo, I hope your back straightens up (pun most definately intended!) before you take off for the motherland. You and Smidgy have quite the adventure before you and we'll all be here cheering you on and waiting to hear the details. (Garsh... I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy today...
)
