Still Feeding Nebo: The may trip final chapter pg 122, Dec. 31

[lexmelinda]

Sorry I'm so far behind. Been busy this week so just getting caught up!

Meet little Nebo, from 1965!

You are so cute, Steve! My husband looked just like that when he was that age...blonde hair, glasses and all. He does not, however, play the accordian. But we did have a crazy neighbor lady who used to play it for us kids. Diane!!! I can just imagine him at a 90 degree angle on the piano bench!?

Fine, let it go man,There will be other corn dogs, on other trips, many months, or years, from now.

Told ya....never, never pass up a corn dog. You'll live to regret it.

And I always wondered what it would be like to stay in one of these hotels. Well, now, I have the answer.

We stayed at the Royal Plaza in 2000 and it was not good. Transportation is not Disney transportation and is shared by all the hotels...terrible! We drove after the first coupla days. We also had a room with a view of I-4 complete with sound effects.

And, now, I know this is the hard part for you guys to believe,,,,,
My knee exploded!

Now I am shocked! Weren't you in your 30's then???

Let me just get this out of the way, now, and say, "shut up , Melinda."

heh, heh. I must say I take no satisfaction in your cell phone dilemma. Obviously, there is an assumption that everyone has one! That's why I finally caved and got one. Not because I like to talk on the phone...which I don't...but because they are a must for safety and convenience. Go to Wal*Mart today and get a pay as you go. Please!

Question #1- Were you born when Nebo played the accordion?
Yes....I was 2. I have no pride either....

Question #2- Crunchy or Puffy.
Crunchy! Duh! The puffy ones are really just styrofoam with cheese coating.

Question #3-Do you know anyone who doesn't own a cell phone?
My 6 year old son and my 97 year old grandfather.

 

[Disneydad99]

And now for yet another reply to the Nebo poll.

Question #1- Were you born when Nebo played the accordion?
A-I was 2!
Question #2- Crunchy or Puffy.
A- Crunchy. In fact my nickname in school was Pat Rat because I had them everyday in my lunch box
Question #3-Do you know anyone who doesn't own a cell phone?
A- Just my Kids...thank God

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

I started the Great Cheeto Debate!!! (sorry Nebo... not really... well, kinda... nope, not really.)

Now I want to play along with the survey!

1. The accordian pic was 2 years before my time.

2. Crunchy... we already covered that one. Jaime - as for cheezits - have you tried the monterey jack ones??? yummo!

3. My great grandmother doesn't have a cell phone - she's 96 and hasn't left the "home" in over 5 years. My DD(10) doesn't have one either but she asks me almost daily if she can get one. Not happening anytime soon, kiddo!

Where's Nebo? Anyone found Nebo?

 

[SoonerGirl]

Wow - I'm gone for a week and I had pages and pages to catch up on! It was a great read as always though! I enjoyed Uni, but I'm glad you're finally in Disney. I love CBR too

Now for the survey...

1. Was I alive when Nebo played the accordian
Nope, by the date on the photo I was -3

2. Crunchy or Puffy
Crunchy of course!

3. Do I know someone who doesn't own a cell phone?
Only my kids, and my oldest asks for one daily - cause ALL his friends have one!

 

[nebo]

Nebo, old buddy, old friend (in all ways), I just want to say I barely started reading today's report. I just want to say, it's just what the Doctor ordered. I am in need of a Nebo report.

Hey. care to share some of those pills???? Don't tell the mod's, but I'll pay under the table. I am in need about now!

I'm sorry, Marita, but I'm all out. Have to schedule another doc visit, myself.

Yes Nebo I am older than even you. I will be 58 five weeks from tonight and proud of it. One year closer to retirement and moving to the DisneyWorld area and getting my dream job of cleaning up after the horse's on Main Street.

Rhonda

Yes, Rhonda, I have seen a lovely closup of your future employer on Jaime's tr.

Ok, this had me smiling and laughing. But I am too tired to quote, just take my word for it. I worked around there before (CB, not directly, but close).

Dr. Phillips by the way is an area mostly inhabited by wealthy folks working in upper jobs in Tourismn locations. He was a someone (dont know who), no University involved.
Another great chapter, Nebo.

Now may I have some pills, please? I am in dire need!

You know, sharing is the thing to do!

Thanks for the info, and, unlike Jaime, I'd be happy to share. If I had any.
JUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? C'mon, you can share, it's just the two of us, I won't tell a soul.

WOW! Sometimes people are just dense
I'm suprised she didn't suggest sending you a text message on your "Cell Phone" informing you your room is ready before she really listened to Diane.

Congrats on the upgrade!

Keep it coming!

Mike

I think next time, I'll go in with her, and just hand the checkerinner a paper cup with a string attatched to it. And then just start playing out the string when we leave.

Hey Nebo if we are going to meet @ POR you can call me on my cell phone the # is 555-867-5309 oh thats right you all don't have a cell phone

Great update loved the stroll down memory lane!!! see ya later

You know, unlike Marie, Melinda, Diane, Tracy, Nicole, Kathy, Marita, Mike, Shawn, Kyle, and so on and so on, you have refrained from giving us any name to call you. And Disneydad99 is a bit much to write all the time. Sooooo's, gonna have to come up with my own name for you.
Hmmmm,,,,,OH! Clever cell phone number. Thank you so much for posting, Jenny.

That's why I love you Nebo! You always throw in subtle things to see if we're paying attention! Oh and by the way, even my great grandpa has a cell phone!

I'm so happy for your great grandpa.
Have him call Jenny.

 

[nebo]

oh, this is fun! I was -11! my mom was 7, perhaps you two knew her? I know the world was smaller back then



You could have given you shoe phone number agent 99
awesome report!

Shawn, the world wasn't really smaller then. It just seemed smaller cuz we were all afraid of driving off the edge!
quoted from Shawn.Last edited by McDisney : Yesterday at 07:49 AM. Reason: LOOK, I CAN MULTIQUOTE

Yes Shawn, today, you are a man.

What about the monorail driver job???

I had a friend who drove the Monorail at Disney. One night the cops pulled him over and tried to give him a DUI. They said he was weaving.

LOVED the description of pulling up to CBR!

And I don't own a cell phone either.

I knew there was something I liked about you.

[

Love the update and I love the flashbacks, they are what make your trippies so fun to read.

Welcome Home Nebo!

(and going by the date on the pic, I was a month old)

Thanks for the kind words, Mo, boy, have you got a lot of upcoming trips to look forward to.

Heeyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
I Love The Puffy Cheetos !!!
Whadaya Mean You Never Listen To Me?
You Bought The Puffy Cheetos Didntya Huh< Huh???

Yes, I listened to you. And I bought those nasty things. For the last time.
See below:

Eewww... don't the puffy cheetos squeak on your teeth? Kinda like cheese flavored styrofoam! ICK! I'm with Nebo, I prefer the crunchy ones! Alas, to each his own....

Can't believe I didn't have anything better to do with my time than to comment on my cheeto preference... sad, very sad.

Carry on... when do we get an update? I forget the schedule!

Hi Nicole, normally, new episodes are brought to you almost live on mondays and thursday nights, with an occasional sat or sun thrown in. Check your tv listings.

 

[nebo]

Now Nebo, you could make your report installments surveys.

Question #1- Were you born when Nebo played the accordion?
A-I was only 1 year old.

Question #2- Crunchy or Puffy.
A- Puffy, picking it out of your teeth is half the fun.

Question #3-Do you know anyone who doesn't own a cell phone?
A- my mother does not have one. I have one but if it helps, I don't know how to retrieve messages on it.

Another wonderful installment. Soooo excited you're in Disney!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mikamah, your survey was pretty clever. Um, how do we turn it off, now?

Man, I'm so looking forward to the Thursday installment. Get home from DS#1 baseball practise and nothing-nada-no internet. Finally got it back on tonight (almost tomorrow!)


So accidents have been plaguing you your whole life or only when you got old
er.

Yeah we're at Disney. I really did enjoy the Uni part though.
Angela

Yes Angela, it didn't take me long for thiings to start going wrong. It took like, oh , not until birth.
I came out backwards.

Ok, I'll play along with the Nebo survey..............

1. Was I alive when Nebo played the accordian
a. Nope I think I was -9

2. Crunchy or Puffy
a. Puffy

3. Do I know someone who doesn't own a cell phone?
a. Does Nebo & Smidgy count?

yes

And now for another reply to the Nebo poll.

Question #1- Were you born when Nebo played the accordion?
A-I was in Jr. High School

Ok, hold it, hold it right there! Isn't that my age? Seventh grade?

You are so cute, Steve! My husband looked just like that when he was that age...blonde hair, glasses and all. He does not, however, play the accordian. But we did have a crazy neighbor lady who used to play it for us kids.

See the stigma we had to live with? And our only role model is named Weird AL. Weird Al Nebovic, at your service.

=Lexmellinda We stayed at the Royal Plaza in 2000 and it was not good. Transportation is not Disney transportation and is shared by all the hotels...terrible! We drove after the first coupla days. We also had a room with a view of I-4 complete with sound effects.

I see. Now I understand your hatred of even getting a parking lot view.

Question #3[/B]-Do you know anyone who doesn't own a cell phone?
My 6 year old son and my 97 year old grandfather.

Thanks for reading and posting, Lexluthor, I just used your post to try a few different methods for multi quoting within the same post, hope you dunt mind. Now , to see how they came out.

 

[nebo]

Wow - I'm gone for a week and I had pages and pages to catch up on! It was a great read as always though! I enjoyed Uni, but I'm glad you're finally in Disney. I love CBR too

!

Michelle, I think the closest thing to Dislike", that I have for a Disney resort would be the All Star Sports, I love them all.

Question #3-Do you know anyone who doesn't own a cell phone?
My 6 year old son and my 97 year old grandfather.

By the way, Melinda. loved your picture!

Work stuff, $1 million over target in expenses for next year! Drastic surgery or explanations to do. Review is Tuesdayy afternoon.

RE:Survey
If the pic was 1965, I was 13

Puffy all the way

Mom and FIL don't own cell phones. I have one, but only use if for emergencies (and then it's out of juice most of the time, anyway). Hubby hardly turns his on either. Oh, come to think of it, neither does my boss, who is in his 30's!

I dont get this whole texting thing either..........

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Clever cell phone number. Thank you so much for posting, Jenny.


I'm so happy for your great grandpa. Have him call Jenny.

Nebo... that is funny stuff right there!

 

[myrsfmly]

I was -8

if forced to choose, I'd pick puffy

My DD3 doesn't own a cell phone... she thinks she does, she carries the Little Mermaid toy cell phone around to call Prince Charming. I own one but does it count if it is always dead, turned off, or oops... left in the car? My DH would think NOT!!!

 

[kath1210]

1. If it was 1965, I was 5; if it was 1966, I was 6.

2. Both! Crunchy if I had to choose, though. I do love the puffy ones when they are a bit stale. (Weird, I know).

3. Only my 91-year old grandmother.

I don't post much, but I check your thread every day, Nebo, for more posts by you or by your witty followers. Thanks!

 

[UtahMama]

So? How low did ya go? Before your knee imploded? WHAT where you thinking? He was 5'9? You are a sky-scraper compared to him.

Thanks for all the little details you include. Now we're all feeling sorry for you not having a cell phone. WILL you in Sept? I can lend you my 5 mile range walkie talkies so you can say "over" after every sentence if you want.

Napoleon, this is one awesome story! More please!

 

[nanadeb]

Ok, hold it, hold it right there! Isn't that my age? Seventh grade?

Nebo, let's look at the clues. My screen name is nanadeb. As in Nana Deb, short for Nana Deborah. I have grandchildren. They call me Nana.
I graduated from Jr. High (eighth grade) in 1965.
Nebo, this California born, hippy dippy chick who grew up in the San Francisco Bay area outranks you in age, number of children, number of grandchildren, and the first time to Disney (I remember the House of Tomorrow in Disneyland).

I do, however, bow to you in Trip writing-dom.
You da Man.
If I ever get off my overly wide keister (why do you think they call them hippies?!) I may challenge you to a trippie duel.
That could be lots of fun.
Do I have to fall down a lot, though? Or ZZUB into a fanny pack?
Sigh. I couldn't even challenge Jaimie to a Croc duel. I only have 2 pairs.
Guess I'll just have to put on my Birkenstocks, dust off the love beads, and see if my husband can put his 8 tracks of CCR onto the MP3 player.
Peace, dude.

 

[lgcountry]

I was 8 in 1966, hate cheetoes, and forgot the other question. Memory starts going when you get up there, I guess

Miss the reports Nebo, hope all is ok.

 

[lexmelinda]

By the way, Melinda. loved your picture!

Thank you! Just a little photographic evidence that I did exist in 1965 and I see there are plenty of folks here older than you! Here's a lil suggestion for you. It's free-ish!

So did you know your husband back then?
ewe!

NO! I wasn't dating him then if that's what you mean. But I've seen some pictures.

 

[Donald is #1]

1) I was 1 in 1965.

2) Puffy, but I prefer them the second day after the bag has been opened.

3) My mother unless the one my father used to use but is just sitting next to the TV counts.

 

[nebo]

I don't post much, but I check your thread every day, Nebo, for more posts by you or by your witty followers. Thanks!

A big Howdy Doo to Kathy, and, over here, there are no followers. We prefer "contributing columnists". By the way, according to your ticker, you are joining a growing list of contributing columnists that will be at Port Orleans the end of Sept.

[

=UtahMama;19746320]So? How low did ya go? Before your knee imploded? WHAT where you thinking? He was 5'9? You are a sky-scraper compared to him.

How low? Straight down to the floor after it blew up. You can't get any lower than that.

Thanks for all the little details you include. I can lend you my 5 mile range walkie talkies so you can say "over" after every sentence if you want.

Napoleon, this is one awesome story! More please!

Boy, I always wanted to do the "roger" "over and out" thing.

Uh huh, I see someone's been back into the mushrooms again. And I always thought it was funny that CCR, who are known as a bayou swamp band sound, not only are a California group, but had never even been near New Orleans or the bayous.

Miss the reports Nebo, hope all is ok.

Hold on, let me check.
Yep, all is ok. I maybe mighta have a new installment later on.

Work stuff, $1 million over target in expenses for next year! Drastic surgery or explanations to do. Review is Tuesdayy afternoon.

I don't get the texting thing, either. And another thing, people don't want to leave a message on the answering machine, but when I call their cell phones, nine out of ten times, I'm on their voice mail. ISN'T THAT THE SAME THING?

Thank you! Just a little photographic evidence that I did exist in 1965 and I see there are plenty of folks here older than you! Here's a lil suggestion for you. It's free-ish!
NO! I wasn't dating him then if that's what you mean. But I've seen some pictures.

See that Shawn? Hope for Geeks everywhere!

 

[winkers]

I'm so happy for your great grandpa.
Have him call Jenny.

You really need to stop being so funny! I tried explaining some of your episodes to a group of friends the other day and they all looked at me like I'd lost it. They all had "intervention" written all over their faces!


by the way, gramps is meeting Jenny at the bowling alley monday at noon.
