Sweet Home Saratoga: A Happyhaunt Haunted Hootenanny!

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Reply guys!!!...

First of all... Happy American Thanksgiving!!!! Hope everyone is feasting to bejesus and being truly truly thanksfull that y'all pretty much disseminated the native American population for you own gain! And to build a nation.

Don't worry. LOL. We do it too. On... Canadian Thanksgiving in October tho. we're happy too. So... double edged sword. There.

Prolly not very politically correct but EF-it.

(Most reasonable people should have tuned out by now)

So... just replies now.

YAK!!! YAK CANADIAN ATTACK!!!: You're prolly doing the same as me today. No feasting. It's not our holiday. You're prolly watching a hockey game and wishing you were reading more stuff about Charlie Sheeno's exciting past online. And... shuddering. Deeply. Me too. Borg.

And still... I like to watch his shows. Very funny. He's decently talented he is. Poor Charlie. And... everyone he knows. Or has shared a Coke with. That can be more than one meaning tfi.

I think the old show should have been called: One and a half men and a Liability.

Moving on...all that to say this:

Thanks for your sweet texts these last couple of days. Appresh.

And...I DO speak of the pompitous of love.

Just like Charlie Sheen heh heh.


GreatBiscuit!!: I got it... thank you thank you. And I will put it in when I can decompress from my horrible week enuff to try it. This week was the pants.

Tfi.

Means: it was **** tfi.

Thanks for your help and following.






Tinkerellabella or Tinkerbellarella: Whew. DED. On the sleeping thru a cat vomit. You're a hardcore sleeper it seems. Cause, they give you a good few minutes notice usually. DED.

Why did you tell Ashypoo not to go to Wegman's when it's busy????? Don't you know how friends be friends??? Heh heh.

Nevermind. Happy Thanksgiving. Unless u slept thru it. It's Black Friday soon. NoWhiteSaleSears.


MaryyouNut! You Disney Nut Mary!!!: Welcome! It WILL be a long haul. Glad you are in.

It's always a long haul.

Unless my messing with the spelling of **** actually spelled ****.


Tonga Toast!: ha ha ha! Yes u must find a Texas de Brazil nearbyish. Your husband LOVED it. Borg again.


REDHATLADY!!!:

***????? Where'd u get PORK CHOPS????


Put your proper readers on Ma'am!!! The ones u use to find your scooter. NOZZUB.

Cheers, Mel

Especially escargot.

Thursday October 8th aka Day 1 aka Part 4 aka Gettin' DRUNK! At a sketchy airport hotel bar. Avec other travellers. And blue collar workers.

So... we drove back to our crappy hotel and Mellyman went in and was directed to park the crappy van in a fenced in area for security... because we would be leaving our van for a bite. for park and fly. and apparently... it had to be stowed somewhere safe.

It got stowed.

We weren't particularly worried because who would want to steal our van??? OUR OUR VAN????? Really? Maybe someone who didn't have a family yet????? Who hasn't had the blessing of teenagers who are dirty and messy and leave things like socks...also... just "sock" (not even prolly one of ours... they have dirty messy friends tfi)... and sweaty t-shirts and a bag(s) of Burger King/McDonald's/Tim Horton's garbage, thousands of used kleenex and...a razor. waste. in the very very back??? {And they just need to get in the zone of "family" filth. And feel whole to get into it???? long thingie there... hope u can follow.} Idk. Firstly... why is there a lady's razor on the back bench of our van??? Why why why???? Why??? And... What I know is I don't even want to drive our van(s) plural. Me(l)self. Without putting Vicks VapoRub under my nose. Like at a crime scene. So there.

Wasn't that worried about it being jacked. But nice to know that the hotel was being very considerate of the guests and stowing their rides safely with security.


THEN.


We went up to our hotel room and lay on the beds. One for me and one for Mellyman. We were sooooo soooo sooo full. And I said, "Whatcha wanna do? Watch tv? Go to sleep? Text your boyfriend Eric about next year's brokeback turkey hunting? Take turns playing Tetris in the bathroom?????"


Mellyman said, "I don't know but I'm pretty awake still."

Then I said, "Wanna see if we can get drunk?"

Mellyman, "What??? Whatcha mean?"

Me(l)self said, "Well. We're sooo full. Prolly can't get drunk. Wanna try????"


Mellyman laughed. And laughed... and said something along the lines of I was a idiot and whatnot. But it seems kinda a funny challenge and why not and we're on vacation and hella YESS!

WE HIGH FIVED!!! And took a few weird pics of the freaky phone. The push button phone from the 70's to remember our crappy room and also a few pics of his foot.

Ya.


The bunion guard. That. He was sporting for the trip. It's super sexy and I just needed pics for the bank. TFI.

Then we hit the bar at the hotel!!!!

BAYYYYBEE!!!!

It was the scariest bar i'd been in a long long long time. Full of groups of scary men. Who clearly were already drunk or *always* drunk. And did love to wear their vests fluorescent *don't hit me vests* (because... I'm DRUNK or HUNGOVER) 24/7...even when they were finished working. They glowed. And lit it up. They sure did. They were kinda scary and we didn't sit with them.


We sat at the bar with ourselves. 2 selves.

Then we were joined by two other british folk who were sooo drunk idk if they ever made their flight that they were worrying about not making in the morning because they were so drunk.


What I do know is this: Their accents were sooo cute and so were they. And... I needed to be refrained from talking to them from Mellyman because he just knew that I'd be "gone" for awhile. Between their being cute and drunk and me being a talker kinda person. TFI.

He said, "If you talk to them I will splash your purse."

What you need to know is this: I bought a very expensive purse. It is suede. Purple-luscious suede. $very$ suede. Purse.

Worst plan evah. Now... it's his hostage and he threatens the life of my purse daily. He's gonna sneeze. Splash. Spill. Cough. Fart. Squart. Super squart. Bleed... or worst ever... FATMAN sweat near or *on* it.


I will never buy suede anything again.


Very stressful. FBI.

We ordered pints of beer. And they were set in front of us.

And we looked and looked and looked at them for a long while.

They were cute pints not unlike the drunk british folk who gonna be missing their plane tomorrow. ISH.


And... we sipped and enjoyed the very scary bar atmosphere and then agreed on this: We were way tooo tooo full to drink anymore. Let alone get drunk but if we were 20 years younger we would have...


And. We headed for bed.


Defeated and feeling our age.


Right before a bunch of days of Food and Whine.


Doesn't bode well. Not well at all... When we're all "Whine". (and old fat tired people)

Can we recoup? REGROUP? And SUPERPOOP?


Ya, BAYBEEE we can!!!!



Cheers, Mel.



edit: SQUART = squat and fart. Very caveman. Only bad bad men do it.

 

[tonga]

Your night of wanting to drink reminds me of the time DH and I had an unexpected layover in LA during a flight delay. Typical Tonga travel luck. We got to the hotel at about 11 pm, and felt like we should do something because when would we ever be back in LA. Hotel bar was all we had the energy for, and not for long.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Meeeellll!

Lookie - I'm here and it's not zero dark-thirty in the wee hours of the am!!!

U.S. Thanksgiving. I was at work. Checking FB for posts of all the turkey and goodness that I wasn't going to eat that day.

Thursday October 8th aka Day 1 aka Part 4 aka Gettin' DRUNK! At a sketchy airport hotel bar. Avec other travellers. And blue collar workers.

It got stowed

And there you have it. I tried to multi quote reply and that's all I got on this iPhoney

Not tech savvy, savvy.

A Disney chapter about bars at Buffalo Airport. Prolly Disneyish to some. At least the florescent guys at the bar.

Lol BTW.

And why are there alway drunk British peeps in bars?? Don't answer that. We found some once too. And they were sunburned redredred. Which is the other thang about British peeps

Anyway love them and could BORG talk to them all day long with no threat of MrYak splashing my purse. I usually carry a Roots.

The state of your Van made me throw up in my mouth a little. But the razor part - a lot. Yikes!

Ahhh tales of Buffalo....

All the best for tomorrow!!!

[Backstage_Gal]

Good wishes for Mellyman sent!

 

[tonga]

Best wishes to Mellyman for a fast recovery! Best wishes for you in dealing with a man patient!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Update!

Mellyman's surgery went well. Was a big big mess and lotsa repair. He is home and in incredible pain. But being a trooper.

So... we're all pretty happy here.


except Mellyman. And... his nurse.


It's Me(l).


I opted not to be like... sexy Hallowe'en nurse. Like he had requested. Heh heh.


I'm going with Sandi Wilkes. Not Annie.

Role play. And he hasn't noticed yet lol!!!


Cheers, Mel

 

[RedHatDisney]

Thanks for the update....hang in there, Nurse Ratchett! olo

 

[tonga]

Glad to hear all went well! And hoping he's back to 100% in time for your next trip!

 

[AshClan]

Hi Mel! I'm back!

First, so glad that Mellyman's surgery went well and I hope he's feeling better every day.

Second, The first thing I did after catching up was to Google Texas de Brazil. None in my neck of the woods, unfortunately. I will have to find one in my travels at some point! Good call on your part, for sure.

Third, this:

We ordered pints of beer. And they were set in front of us.

And we looked and looked and looked at them for a long while.

They were cute pints not unlike the drunk british folk who gonna be missing their plane tomorrow. ISH.


And... we sipped and enjoyed the very scary bar atmosphere and then agreed on this: We were way tooo tooo full to drink anymore. Let alone get drunk but if we were 20 years younger we would have...


And. We headed for bed.


Defeated and feeling our age.

Isn't it sad? I hear ya and can unfortunately relate. Even worse, I was sitting here thinking "how could they go to bed when they were still that full?!" I would've at least had to pop a couple of Zantac first....

Looking forward to this one Melly. When you can. I know you have a lot on your proverbial plate ATM.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Sooooooooooo.....

Did y'all get on the plane?

Or is this really a TR about Buffalo?

It's not like a Mel TR to be buried way on page two

Or Ash killing a thread??

I know you are busy playing nursemaid to Melly... Hee-hee

But I'm getting anxious


Edited to add: i just gave Mel a bump to the first page...do the bump. Hee hee

 

[Sneezie]

I'm already bored.

I'm sorry, Mel, but I screamed when I read this!!!!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Hola Fiends! And Friends!!!

Checking in and reassuring y'all that I'm not dead and have not abandoned this trippie. Like I tend to do sometimes. Heh heh.

Just.

Ummm.

Well. Lotsa crappy stuff lately. To add... Alex broke his leg last Sunday too. And not in a good way. lol. Anywho... I sat down the other nite and wrote a chapter.

Then deleted it. Cause it didn't sound like Me(l) at all.

It was savagely boring. Tediously goring. Wordy. Preachy. stagnant. Not. at all. funny and it was total CARP!!! It was a shopping list basically. Of the day. It was... as if ZZUB wrote it. TBH.

Like... it was "good" ZZUB. tho. Even the punctuation. Was spot on. But... certainly not Me(l). If you follow.

Anywho... I trashed it. And decided to try again.

When I feel more like laughing.

Hopefully soon. Cause I'm eating too much cheese and feeling crabby.

What I'm sayin' here is this: I'll be back in BLACK!!!

#1 with a bullet I'm a power pack (?????)

Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas (NOXmas) spirit!!!

See ya soon!!!


Cheers, Mel

 

[RedHatDisney]

Oh CRAP! Broken bones, bone surgery.....I could make a Bone-type one word remark or three..but........I shall remain a lady (yeah...) and let you use your imagination.

It never rains but it pours......thanks for checking in.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Thanks u RedHatLady!!

And... for checking in too!!!

Cheers, Mel



edit: throwin' you a festive redhat!!

 

[tabrizia]

Oh no, hopefully Alex feels better soon. Broken bones are never fun.

 

[tonga]

Sending good wishes that the crappy crap is over soon - and if not, sending vibes for strength and support to get through it. Lots of good Christmas wishes to the happyhaunts!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Hey all! Thanks and things are mellowing out now. A bite!!

Mellyman is on the mend. So is Alex. finally.

So... that's all good.

My General took a bite of a turn for the worst. But dealing with that. It happens.

My friend got diagnosed with cancer.

Mellyman's dad had a stroke.

Dealing with the first Xmas without Mellyman's older brother. Passed away unexpectedly in May. Two small kids.

So... been a bit of CARP. tbh.


That being sad... I'm finally feeling like Me(self) Again. Finally. BE BACK SATURDAY!!!


Thanks for checking in and staying tuned.


Cheers, Mel.


Edit: Roll XMAS tide!!!!
