Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[Muffinygood]

Hope everyone has a great night! If I don't talk to you before you leave, Mel, have a wonderful trip and drink a Lapu for me! In fact, can Flat Jodi go along again???

So, this is VERY funny, Jodi! I just (how sad, it's been almost 7 months!!! LOL) threw away flat Jodi. I was going through my desk and thought, "What am I going to use this for?" So, I pitched her! Sorry!
Though it is funny that I just happened to do it....
I will have that lapu for you.

If I don't see you have a fabulous time!

Thanks Janet! Have a good week!

T look away.....

I still haven't packed.

We leave very very early on Thurs.

I am so ready for this vacation, I need to just get away. I have so much crap in my life right now that I know being in WDW will help.

Change to the Cabanas....Hopefully we'll both be there. Who knows since they "don't guarrantee requests..."

You DESERVE this vacation. I can't wait to see you!

************************
Ok, this is my last post before my trip. Really!!!

I'm packed. I tucked Gus into bed. SD will be going there shortly. I have to leave the house at 5 am. Ugh! However, that's a small price to pay for being in FL by 9:30 am!!!!

You guys behave while I'm gone. I'll be back about 10 pm on Saturday night.

V: Feel free to text me if you're going to make it over on Saturday. I'd love to see you!

Hello Fockers! Another busy night at work for me. I'm off the next 3 nights.

MEL is outta here! She'll be back Sunday.

CE got her Kindle. Now she has to be careful not to purchase too many book dowloads 'cause it could cut into the boat budget! Good luck with tennis.

JODI had nothing to do yesterday. Oh except go buy "Bolt" at Wallyworld. Oh and taxes. And the financials for the PTO. And get one of the kids ready for school. Like I said - nothing to do.

ROSIE had a bunch of errands but stopped in to say 'Hi' any way. She had an interesting interview with a potential employee. He/She had a nice wig and a husky voice. I couldn't have kept a straight face, Rosie!

V is Disney dreaming. Wants B-fast somewhere in the world without the buffett and characters. Is this a Focker Foul?

JANET and Jim are happy with Jimmy's report card. She is also Disney Dreaming. She got a text from Dawn. She's chillin' with a Colava by the pool. I read your article, Janet. Not good!

KATT says Scott has a chance at a big account. It would be some extra money for them. Good luck!

JO placed 8th in golf today. She gat a 'Heck-of-a-bore' plant.
I bet Rosie still thinks your the bestest.

KAT actually got some sleep and had a 'normal' morning. She was out and about town. She cleaned closets and made some sandwiches. There is a Magicmeet April 7-9. She'll get more info. if any one is interested. Glad you did better with the sleep. I hope it continues.

LORI's just been hangin'.

Hi Sharky!

Z is leaving for WDW early Thursday. She is not packed yet. OOPS! I wasn't s'posed to say that. Have a great time and don't think about anything but fun!

Cel Bel wants kilt! I mean she wants a kilt. Hey Kat you didn't run across a kilt in your closet anywhere? What ya' need a kilt for, Sam?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I'm supposed to be getting new windows put in this week. I've been taking all the cutains in rooms we don't use down and moving funiture out of the way. I need to wash some of the plain curtains anyway. We had a shelf/table along one window with plants on it. OMG! You could tell it hadn't been moved in a while. Major cleaning. I guess you could say I am Spring cleaning.
All I have left is the living room curtains and couch and the bedroom. Now I hope the suckers come and get it over with.

Doug is going to Indy today to pick up a truck with a snow plow. It's just for our drive. I'm tired of havin' snow up to my keister every winter. Shoveling is really starting to hurt me. He looked at the truck yesterday. It's at a dealership. They settled on $5000. I told him he better call and make sure they know that we are not paying a dime more. Taxes and fees be damned. He gave me a look. He has promised to get rid of 2 trucks we don't use anymore. 1 runs, 1 doesn't. We'll see what happens.

That's it for me.
Have a great day!

That cracked me up! Nope no kilt, but you never know in KCs closet!

I'm off to bed! Night all!!

 

[CelticBelle]

FYI! Im looking for places to get kilts because marc (DFI) said he might want to wear a kilt when we get married. Just thought I would start researching, but then I realized I had no clue where to start!

I seem to be making this faceconfused3) alot. I hope you guys dont think I'm a complete ditz!

 

[englishrose47]

Night All Off to bed! Chat tomorrow !!

 

[DisneyJo]

Wow am I first for once????

Jo---you got a hella-bore? We probably need a picture of that!

I raided photobucket and here's a Hellebore!

And up close

They come in all colours but mine is a pinky creamy colour!

Why? I gotta blame somebody

I blame you, too.

Hey you two

Is this how normal people live? LOL. I usually sleep through the am hours!

Yep Hope you slept well last night too!

Ooops, forgot to say "no characters" in my notes! V can't handle characters when fully awake - half asleep might be very, very dangerous for the critters.

Didn't know about the wave, the decor is pretty cool there!

It's August 7-9 (fri to sun). KCs boss runs it. There is all kinds of cool stuff they do over the weekend. I'll get more info from KC today and let you know. They offer discount hotel rates for the hotel it's in if you wanna stay the weekend. The tix go on sale in April. You can check magicmeets.com.

Anyone else interested????

Some of the Mom's Panel are going, more 08 than 09 though!

I have quick question though. I know ADR's are 90 days now. DOes that include the Dinner shows too (HDDR)? Think I am going to give Dining a call and see if i can at least book that one. I thought I had read that it was remaining at 180 days.

I think they've all changed to 90 days too, there was an overlap but I think that date has passed!

I thought I quoted V....darn. Thanks for the tips on Coronado. I called and requested the Cabanas!

Hope you get it and have a great time

PS we liked all the answers and put the application thru but that wig and the boxes we had to check were too much for us ! I don't care what they are I would just like to be able to check the right box !!

Oh Rosie

Scotland !!

That's what I was going to say

I bet Rosie still thinks your the bestest.

Are you jealous Good luck with the cleaning and new windows, it's amazing what chaos that causes!!!



Well I wasn't online last night as Jess dropped my laptop and it wouldn't work, she was in floods of tears saying she'd buy me a new one etc etc. I tried everything and it switched on but said couldn't find operating system. I tried again this morning and still nothing. So me being me I opened up the back and noticed the hard drive had come slightly off so I pushed it back on and voila it worked that saved me about $800 for a new one And Jess will be so relieved, it's taught her a lesson though. She was using my laptop on her lap and leaned to get her drink and it fell on the floor. She said she won't be using it again!!!!

 

[askelton]

I'm back! We had a fabulous time, of course! Mitch was so relaxed with no cell phones and cell service. I so wanted to book another cruise while on board, but the one we want only has dates until next Feb. and for some reason M wants to wait until next October. I have to get all my pictures organized and then I'll post some. Today I'm off for lunch with, Mel, Dawn, Jen V, and I'm not sure who else. I wish you all were going to be there too.

 

[cmp1111]

Good luck with tennis.

Thank you!

Good luck with the windows and the truck.

Hmm. My BIL has a kilt. I can ask where he got it. He wears it for Christmas sometimes.

[englishrose47]

Good morning all !! Fly by post on m way to work !!!

 

[kykatt2]

Wow am I first for once????

Well... You USED to be all the time.. something about at 5 hour headstart on the rest of us.

I raided photobucket and here's a Hellebore!

That is a gorgeous plant I see why you got one.

Not on that scale but Sarabeth was using my "Yoga Ball" and it popped... and she felt horrible... Scott went and got me another one... and the first time she was using it... the second day I had it you guessed it... HAPPENED AGAIN...

She swore that she would NEVER NEVER NEVER..EVER sit on one again...
Yeah.. that lasted about a week

 

[kykatt2]

OOPS!!!! Sorry.... Forgot somebody

WELCOME HOME ANGELA !!!!!​

 

[cmp1111]

I need to leave in about 2 hours for my tennis.

I woke up early this morning, feeling afraid to look at the clock, thinking it would probably be 10 minutes before the alarm or something. It was only 5:00, though, and I went back to sleep, but now that it's time to be up, I'm sleepy again.

It's suddenly occurring to me that my mom will be here in two days, and I'm in no way ready. I might go do some cleaning before I shower and leave for tennis. I don't wanna.

OK... I guess I've got to do something. Everyone have a great morning.

 

[DisneyJo]

I'm back! We had a fabulous time, of course!

Welcome home Angela, can't wait to hear all about it and see the photos! Have a good lunch!

OMG! Poor Jess. I bet she was freaked. I'm glad you got it worked out.

She cried loads bless her, maybe it's taught her a lesson though

Well... You USED to be all the time.. something about at 5 hour headstart on the rest of us.

It's only 4 hours at the moment Our clocks change this weekend! The plant is pretty, I need to plant it though Whoops about the yoga ball, did she put it on something sharp as they're pretty thick aren't they?

It's suddenly occurring to me that my mom will be here in two days, and I'm in no way ready. I might go do some cleaning before I shower and leave for tennis. I don't wanna.

I have been on the PC for hours this morning I'm going to have lunch then do the ironing!!!

Morning Fockers!

Not much going on here. I'm still pondering the Great Breakfast Conundrum. I don't even know why I want to book a bfast, other than having read other's dining reports and thinking it sounded fun. And it would be nice to be inside a park before opening just once...

Leo had his riding lesson last night and two interesting things happened:
1. Gramma offered to pay for his next package of 8 lessons! I just shelled out a ton of money for horse camps this summer and didn't have the money to pay for another package of lessons yet. Gramma stepped up and covered it so Leo can keep riding for the next month+.

2. Leo cantered! I wasn't there - Gramma took him because my allergies are beyond horrendous this week. She said he cantered for about half a lap around the riding ring and proclaimed it "AWESOME!"

Nothing else new. I need to come up with two story titles for work. The stories are written, but I'm stumped on titles. Bleeahh.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

'Bye Mel! Have a wonderful trip - I probably won't make it over, but I'll let you know if that changes.

Welcome back Angela! Can't wait to hear all about the cruise!

We have only done one breakfast meal and it was not worth the hassle for me. But every family is different. Two kids ( esp Joshua) that are NOT normal breakfast food eaters helps that one. If I could go kidless.. then I would do it for sure.. but make it a late one.. we are not the early get moving ropedrop people we used to be.

OK... Yeah for Gramma Bangladesh can wait another month !! Just Kidding

2. Leo cantered! I wasn't there - Gramma took him because my allergies are beyond horrendous this week. She said he cantered for about half a lap around the riding ring and proclaimed it "AWESOME!"

The Canter was my favorite to watch the riders execute when I used to hang around Horse Shows as a young girl. I always wondered HOW you get them horses to do that one.

[PrincessV]

Exactly!

I always wondered HOW you get them horses to do that one

Me too! I suspect it just happened with Leo - maybe another horse broke into a canter and his horse followed suit? But now he can start learning how to make it happen, I hope!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh carpitty carp carp.

I was in my email - Yahoo - just now and an IM popped up form my step-mother. First of all, since when does Yahoo automatically set up IM's to come through? I don't want them and have myself displayed as "invisible." Second, this woman was horrible to me when I was young, spoke nothing but ill about my dad's family, and I've since learned said some really awful and untrue things about me to them. When my dad died 10ish years ago, she ditched his entire family because they didn't offer her money. Over the past 10 years, she and my half-brother (16 years my junior) have had virtually no contact with me or Leo - I tried to stay in touch, but it was totally one-sided and I gave up eventually.

So now I get an IM form her all of a sudden saying "Hi! It's been so long since we've talked!" Bleeaahhh. I just closed the window so I wouldn't say something truly nasty in reply.

 

[ncsjodi]

Good Morning!!!

The girls are off to school and I'm headed out to do some stuff on the Wii Fit. I'm sure it will yell at me as I haven't been on it since last Wednesday! That doesn't mean I haven't worked out though. I went to the gym on Monday!

DD7 has a half day of school today, so I think I'm going to take the girls to the Y for some swimming this afternoon. That will keep them busy. I can catch up on some reading while they're swimming.

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[cmp1111]

I need something sort of like that for Woody. He is NOT careful with things, and he needs a good scare.

I have been on the PC for hours this morning I'm going to have lunch then do the ironing!!!

I cleaned both bathtubs before I showered, so that's something.

Yay for Gramma! Yay for Leo!!!
