Eeerrr by the way Glen what is your Shiny Title ???

It's in my signature..."Supreme Movie Quote Spotter of the Universe!" I either won it in a contest on Capt. Oblivious' TR thread, or in a poker game. I forget which.

I think you won it in my contest and then almost lost it in a poker game. Then the other players said you were supposed to bet something that actually had value.

Okay I understand now my "shiny' title is "COMPUTOR WHIZ!!!!"I should try losing it in a poker game , which should be easy as I don't know how to play

Hey, that's like saying my shiny title doesn't mean anything....

 

[All7OfUs]

You know I may not be around often these days but I have to try to make the appearances count.

That was worth a lot! Thanks for the chuckles!!

Very snazzy!

Why thank you, my dear! Remember them....

Wow, I want that for breakfast. YUM!

I can make it for our spring Meet, if you're still up for that.

I must say, if and when I so suffer from MFPP....and I do....I can't wait for the landing to deal with it. I suppose you shall be known henceforth as "bladder of steel" who apparently has plane stall aversion (PSA, a known condition).

Then again, a pre-flight latte will do it every time!

BOS isn't such a baaaad nickname. But, in my defense, I (like many an 8 year old has said) didn't have to "go" until right before landing- when sadly, it is too late. I don't mind the stalls so much, except when the passenger before me has not "kindly wiped down the sink or seat for my comfort".

Love your pink toes!

Thanks, Lessa!! I liked the color I chose- it went well with my tiara.

I still need to comment on your update... Not just enjoy being a winner (please do not get into any hassle about a prize for me! I would be happy with just a shiny title like Glenn got from Captain Oblivious!)...

Ok, I'll get to work on that right away. I actually may need Rosie's help with this... she seems to always have such fun twinkly things she posts.

Love your toe nails! How did you get those ornaments on your nails? Are they like stickers? And all this talk about feet compliments reminded me that I had a similar think happening to me. When I was in Canada in 2003 I had this rather dark rad nail polish and twice people complimented me on the colour of my nails... At first I was rather shocked but then I decided that a compliment is always nice...

They are stickers I found at a Korean import store in Kazakhstan. I had bought them specifically for my trip many months before and had practiced with them. You apply them just like a sticker, then use clear polish over- they are pretty hard to remove once on, and i do love them!!

Yes, the compliment was nice, but it was more fun just knowing that I was having them look good for my special trip. It was the event associated with the effort that was so neat!

I am impressed that you planned your breakfast! The quiche looks delicious!

Sometimes when I look back at the things I planned for, I shock myself.

I am quite sure that you had a real ME bus, not a cruise line one - the red pattern with yellow stars is the ME bus seat. The cruise line busses have a nautical pattern.

You are most likely right!!! I hadn't thought of that clue before!! I WAS on a REAL bus!

Hooray for your arrival in WDW!! Congratulations to Magdalene, you really DID do your research!

LOVE the pretty pink toes!

Hot diggity!! More fun stuff coming up later!!

Take a good look at those toes... remember them well... duh, duh, duh....

 

[Flossbolna]

Take a good look at those toes... remember them well... duh, duh, duh....

Now I am all nervous... I can hear the drama in the background music increasing....

Thanks for the info on the stickers... Need to hunt through Asian shops here (well, maybe they have them at other places as well....).

Looking forward to my shiny title - btw, Rosie, I love yours as well! How did you get this, is there a story behind it??

And thank you to all of you who congratulated me on my win in the alphabet game!

Let's just say that some "chronical-ing" happened.

I'm sure you can probably find them at other places too, but it may take some hunting. Perhaps the internet?

This whole finding fonts thing, may take a bit of time. I was sidetracked for a bit as I went out the library just now, and Anara bashed her head on the door! She has a goose-egg the size of a dinner plate, and won't keep the frozen bag of peas on it no matter how much I plead.

First, Congrats and Happy New Year, Magdalena!

I don't know if you have beauty supply stores there, but I have seen those stickers there, and also at Wal-Mart near the nail polish, I think. I have used them before, too - very festive!

Oh, and Liesa, your toes did look very cute, BTW. I am getting worried about the drama -

 

[All7OfUs]

Congratulations Magdalene!

She ought to be sporting her new Title very soon!

Wow! You have really cute feet!

Oh, I'm sorry. Was that too forward?

You're on dangerous ground there, Pal.

This is your trip report. Nothing is unnecessary if you don't think it is. But if you're going to include this, we need details, such as: color of toothbrush, type of toothpaste, soft/medium bristles, and whether you use the dentist-recommended circular brushing motion or the good ol' American back-and-forth Industrial Quickie Scrub.

Hmmm... color, can't remember, but I'm sure whatever color it was, was responsible for making me gag.

Toothpaste: Probably mint, becuase I was gagging.

Soft and medium all go down the throat just the same and make me gag.

Whatever motion it was, it was FAST, because, well... I was gagging.

Well, at least that guy isn't nailing boards on the windows of the Grand Floridian. Then I'd have been worried.

Maybe that would be good idea- to keep the guests hostage until they spend a little bit more. Marketing at its best.

Now THAT'S how you do it! Details matter.

I've gotta keep my readership somehow.

I bet he didn't even notice your feet, anyway.

Probably not; I'm sure he was completely caught off guard by my arm flab.

Me too! But my squeals are very manly.

Is that somewhat the same as when one is underprotected at homeplate?

Is this heaven?

Very close to it.

Oh, and happy new year!

You too- to you and Mrs. Knowitall, and the gang!!

Congratulations Magdalene! (I did get Tower of Terror, though.)

How about MOST EXCELLENT DISNEY ALPHABET DE-CODER (and shiny, too!)?

One point is very impressive!!( I should know... that's exactly what I got in your game, I think.)

I went with your title, except added "Supreme".

 

[All7OfUs]

From me too!!I also would like a "Shiney Title"especially if I knew what one was How about "Glowing Granny" or Rainbow Rose !!
Eeerrr by the way Glen what is your Shiny Title ???

OK, I guess I should be "Supreme Granter of All Useless Titles".

And so it begins.

I can't tell you how happy I am that you have finally made it "home". It's I am and for the and the and the to begin.

You will have more than plenty of all of those in the coming weeks (months, year?) depending on how busy I get.

It's in my signature..."Supreme Movie Quote Spotter of the Universe!" I either won it in a contest on Capt. Oblivious' TR thread, or in a poker game. I forget which.

Now, you can use those letters to ante up!

I think you won it in my contest and then almost lost it in a poker game. Then the other players said you were supposed to bet something that actually had value.

Value is in the mind of the "holder".

Okay I understand now my "shiny' title is "COMPUTOR WHIZ!!!!"I should try losing it in a poker game , which should be easy as I don't know how to play

Rosie, you can come and play poker whenever you'd like, Dearie!! I'm not so good either... eh-hmmm..

First, Congrats and Happy New Year, Magdalena!

I don't know if you have beauty supply stores there, but I have seen those stickers there, and also at Wal-Mart near the nail polish, I think. I have used them before, too - very festive!

Oh, and Liesa, your toes did look very cute, BTW. I am getting worried about the drama -

Yes, I would imagine they won't be so hard to find.

Be worried...

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Oh no, I'm afeared! Hurry up with the drama!

 

[maroo]

Ok...Dorky title...hopefully those will get better as this little (ok, large) Trip Report gets started!

Thinking back to the beginning of our big trip, I recall the uncertainty of the weather forecast…

As you probably remember, we had Hurricane Earl threatening to cause some significant issues for our whole trip, including my flight to Orlando.

But the evening before I left, this was in the sky above my condo complex – which should have been a sign of sorts of the type of week that would unfold.

**Imagine a picture of a rainbow...I will add it when photobucket decides to cooperate.



I dropped Muffin off at my friends house…Isn’t she cute? I missed her!

**Imagine a picture of a precious little Yorkie with sad eyes...


She was a bit depressed, I think – because I had gotten the BIG red suitcase out and had been packing for a week – but she got dropped off at my friend’s house and I was officially ready to pack my car and have that last sleep before DISNEY!!


The next morning I headed to work for a few hours. I promise I accomplished very little! Then I headed to the airport. Security was a bit of a pain because I had the big black boot on my foot which had to be taken off, put through the scanner, swabbed for bomb residue and put back on – while juggling my carry on, computer, iPhone, etc, etc. I am sure I looked pretty crazy to the people around me.


I had the best flight attendants! Their spiel was really funny…

“Please remember to remain in your seat at all times when the light above your head tells you to. As flight attendants, we, of course, can walk about the cabin because we have special shoes and you do not.

The fine for smoking is $2500 and let’s all be honest, if you had an extra $2500 you would not be flying here with us.

If this Southwest airline should become Southwest Cruise Line, we have provided each of you this designer life vest. To inflate pull on this string. If that doesn’t work, you may blow it up with this tube. If that doesn’t work, then you are having a very bad day.

If we should lose cabin pressure, these lovely things will fall out of the ceiling. Stop screaming and hold on to your neighbors leg and put it on. Breathe normally (yeah right!) and the flow of alcohol…I mean oxygen…will begin. If you are flying with small children WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!? You should put the mask on first and then on your child. Ladies, this is what husbands are fore. Or maybe help your husband.”


It was great! It was so funny and the passengers were all laughing and enjoying it. It was probably the most entertaining flight I have ever been on.

Landing…Magical Express and POP check in was pretty uneventful.

Up next…an awesome meeting with a former and famous Wish Family.

 

[Poolrat]

Magdalene- congrats on the title

Liessa- You are on property. Let the games begin

Mary- Hey stranger- Long time no see. Glad to see you here. Yes that swirlie had us all nervous.

What a pain at the airport. But then - you could have been groped or complimented on your feet.

 

[maroo]

Wow! As always...exquisite writing!

There are few things I lose sleep over in this world. Some are important, like trying to remember the name of “that group” who had that one hit in 1985 (can I tell you that happened WAY too often at POP!), and won’t get out of my mind at 2:30 AM; and some are not, like when I wonder if I put the load of laundry from 2 days ago into the dryer. As you can guess I did not get any sleep the night before I left, because I was stewing over important things like whether the hurricane that was brewing over the Atlantic and slugging its way up the coast was going to delay my flight, and whether I was going to get a Mear’s bus or some slick ME Mickey wheels or not. I also felt bored and anxious enough to have the urge to re-do my toes. As “cute” as they were, I was feeling the need to bring on the sassy, and ended up with this:

CUTE nails!

Except I remembered I needed to brush my teeth again. So I did. I’ll bet you think that’s an unnecessary little tidbit of information, don’t you, Dear Reader?

Uh...yeah...And for the record...the FIRST of MANY tidbits of information that the Dear Readers will just be so glad that they now know...

Really, this was such a momentous occasion, and I contemplated kissing the bus driver on my way in. But I didn’t, thinking he’d be so flustered he’d take me to All Stars Sports instead of POP.

There might have been some other consequences, too.

The only thing I had hard wired into my day was a date with myself at the Derby. Before that I had a lot of adventures which might include another famous episode of The Battle of the Undercooked Shrimp!!!!


Tune in next time for: Bring on the POP!

Ok...I was THERE...and I am on the edge of my seat.

 

[maroo]

Magdalene- congrats on the title

Mary- Hey stranger- Long time no see. Glad to see you here. Yes that swirlie had us all nervous.

Hi Pat!!

Yeah....I am a bum. I should be back for this week, though. I get some ME time!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

As you probably remember, we had Hurricane Earl threatening to cause some significant issues for our whole trip, including my flight to Orlando.

Yes, I do remember your swirly watch!

**Imagine a picture of a rainbow...I will add it when photobucket decides to cooperate.

I'm imagining.....

**Imagine a picture of a precious little Yorkie with sad eyes...

still imagining.....

I had the best flight attendants! Their spiel was really funny…

How did you remember all that?! Hilarious!

 

[jenbear123]

The Eagle - I mean - Maroo has landed! WOOHOO! You're in WDW!!! Those sound like hilarious flight attendants! Sure makes those with a fear of flying a bit more at ease. I can't wait to hear more!

 

[All7OfUs]

Oh no, I'm afeared! Hurry up with the drama!

No hurrying this slug of a TR.

Magdalene- congrats on the title

Liessa- You are on property. Let the games begin

Mary- Hey stranger- Long time no see. Glad to see you here. Yes that swirlie had us all nervous.

What a pain at the airport. But then - you could have been groped or complimented on your feet.

The next installment should be all about POP- that hip, groovy and far out place where kitchy paraphenalia abounds, as well as great retro hits that some people love to ummmm... sway to the beat.

Or both...

 

[All7OfUs]

Ok...Dorky title...hopefully those will get better as this little (ok, large) Trip Report gets started!

Nope, if it starts with "A" it works for today.

And, where have you been?? This is A Squared, now!!

Thinking back to the beginning of our big trip, I recall the uncertainty of the weather forecast…

As you probably remember

Yes, all too clearly. Totally ruined a good night of sleep!

I dropped Muffin off at my friends house…Isn’t she cute? I missed her!

**Imagine a picture of a precious little Yorkie with sad eyes...


She was a bit depressed, I think – because I had gotten the BIG red suitcase out and had been packing for a week – but she got dropped off at my friend’s house and I was officially ready to pack my car and have that last sleep before DISNEY!!

She is cute, and I can picture her little face and sad and pathetic- begging to go with you.

The next morning I headed to work for a few hours. I promise I accomplished very little! Then I headed to the airport. Security was a bit of a pain because I had the big black boot on my foot which had to be taken off, put through the scanner, swabbed for bomb residue and put back on – while juggling my carry on, computer, iPhone, etc, etc.

What a huge pain in the patooty!! I can barely tolerate it without any of that.

I am sure I looked pretty crazy to the people around me.

Really??

I had the best flight attendants! Their spiel was really funny…

“Please remember to remain in your seat at all times when the light above your head tells you to. As flight attendants, we, of course, can walk about the cabin because we have special shoes and you do not.

It was great! It was so funny and the passengers were all laughing and enjoying it. It was probably the most entertaining flight I have ever been on.

That was HIGHLY entertaining!! My family really enjoyed that! I wish my recent SW flights were that funny!

 

[All7OfUs]

Wow! As always...exquisite writing!

Thanks!!

CUTE nails!

Loved them!!


Uh...yeah...And for the record...the FIRST of MANY tidbits of information that the Dear Readers will just be so glad that they now know...

You ain't seen nuthin' yet, Honey!

There might have been some other consequences, too.

Well, maybe a few...

Ok...I was THERE...and I am on the edge of my seat.

you're gonna love the meal experience at POP... I promise.
