The Battle For My Wallet V: Beyond the Number IV (Chapter Eighteen, p.75, 5/18)

[Yzma and Kronk]

Zzub - very nice chapter!

We too are "boat people" and have rented the pontoons as a family since the kids were little (great idea TFI - I'm sure Mrs. Zzub and Baby would love it) and the speed boats. I'm happy that the kids are oldish now and next time it'll be a pair of speed's for us!

I loved this paragraph:

I’m an observer, or hadn’t you noticed that about me? I watch the world I’m moving through and occasionally, frequently even, I'll consider what it is I'm experiencing. Juxtapose it with other images and memories in my head. See how it all connects. I’ve developed a habit, perhaps an annoying one to those around me, of commenting on the scene we’re living. I’ll give voice to my inner monologue as I connect that moment in time with other scenes, other events, other times and other people.

Very Borg. However, usually when I give my inner monologue voice, people gift me with strange looks. It's all part of the process. I want gum.

Keep it coming!

Zzub - I have read all of your reports as you have posted them but have never posted, until now. I just want to thank you for taking the time to share your Disney (and non-Disney) adventures with us. You are truly a talented writer. In a (big) way, I think you are ministering to the lost when you share your love of Jesus and his blessings. You may not know until you reach His throne how many are out there that may have given Him a second thought because of you.

Although I do not know what you physically look like, I want you to know I think you have a beautiful family!

Oh, and ROLL TIDE from a fellow alumni (class of '95)!

I guess we have been lucky not to have come across Carla Crappy Attitude during our recent trips.

Hey, I like that name. I may "borrow" it in a future installment.

Hey, my name is Carla! Does this mean I might get to be in one of ZZUB's famous installments??!

Oh wait, he wouldn't be talking about me because I don't have a crappy attitude.

...or work at Disney.




Okay, I got ahead of myself there. But really, I just wanted to say I have been along for the 'whole ride' and (insert here: ba da ba ba ba) I'm lovin' it!

God Bless you and your family.

 

[Frickles]

Gawsh, this is pretty darn close to being a Hootenanny.

I know where Haley is. I'll pass the message along.

 

[ZZUB]

Time to break out the good china.

I didn't realize you had good china. Ooooh! You mean the Hefty Plastic/Paper plates with the little dividers, don't you?

I think you are ministering to the lost when you share your love of Jesus and his blessings.

I sure hope so. My prayer is that what I write encourages my brothers and sisters and is a witness to my friends who don't yet know the Lord.

I want you to know I think you have a beautiful family!

You're half right. My wife and my girls are quite beautiful. Inside and out.

Oh, and ROLL TIDE from a fellow alumni (class of '95)!

Back at 'ya.

YAK:Sorry to hear that you're "boat people." I didn't realize any boat people settled in Canada.

I figured it was some kind of rebuttle but I think maybe he's just turning into a nice guy who appreciates his readers. Speaking of.....

Here's the last post from UK Wildcat. (If we're gonna make it bold, let's at least make it blue.) Which wasn't all that long ago actually....about 3 installments ago.

Well, I guess being late is better than not showing up.

I wasted my entire afternoon catching up on this TR. By choice, but still wasted.

And Z, don't be ashamed to take a 6 month old to WDW. We've taken our little one 3 times over this past summer. She's spent 15 days of her first 6 months in WDW. Does that make me a Disney lunatic? Probably.

Good to see you back, and good to be back. Looking forward to more installments.

I'll guess he's still bleeding UK blue and loving life in Florida. As it were.

Thanks for worrying about me too.

I haven't been on the TR board in a while but hopefully I'll get caught up soonish. I can see I've got lots of reading to do to get caught up here. (They're still paying you by the word apparenty.)

Take care.

 

[Sleeping*Beauty]

You would think I just asked Paula Abdul if it was going to be her and me forever. She looked at me like I was caught in a hit and run.

Now I'm going to be singing this all day.

I figured it was some kind of rebuttle [sic] but I think maybe he's just turning into a nice guy who appreciates his readers.

I've always appreciated my readers. Well most of them. But I haven't always taken the time to respond.

Evidently, that light up blue drink you're imbibing is filled with snarky fluid.

I remember seeing UKWildcat's post from here a few weeks back. Haven't seen him since was my point.

They're still paying you by the word apparenty.

Where do I collect that check?

Glad you deigned to stop on by Lexmelinda. Feel free to drop on in more frequently.

 

[flafan]

Jumping on board real late, better late than never, caught up and enjoying. Thanks for sharing. It's all about the simple pleasures. Those are the best moments in Disney or anywhere else for that matter.

We love renting the boats at the Beach Club marina and riding around the Boardwalk and you can take it all the way to MGM Studio's ( I know they changed the name why do they do that).

Looking forward to the next install

GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Zzub!

Hi Zzub!

Well it's about dang time!

close...

OMGosh. I am DED.
the seller's name is haley22222 (or something like that).

Dang, she has it listed for $4.50! I could fund a trip with them.

Let's go over this once again. I do not live in Alabama.

Nope. I don't think so.

But you MIGHT could find a Bojangles napkin if you looked hard enough.

Ain't that right, Frick?

 

[LaLa]

Since we've already determined that UKWildcat still comes around from time to time when he's not busy entertaining the crowd gathered 'round the waterslide, let's move onto the next "Where are they now" contestant, shall we?

Has anyone seen ZZUB around lately? Do yall remember him? Whatever happened to that guy? I used to enjoy his posts. Maybe I'll start a thread about it. On the Budget Board, of course.

Or else I could just take him off Ignore.

FHOAM.

FlaFan: What are you a fan of? What is fla? Is that what FlavorFlav's homies call him. "What up Fla?" Are you a FlavorFlav fan?

Judging by the smell of things, I'm guessing LaLa has been here. Oh look it! She's right there. P-U!

Hey LaLa! Welcome back. When are you going to start writing about your last trip to Disney World? Some people (not me) might want to read about it.

Sleeping*Beauty: Sorry about that. But sadly, the whole time I'm suffering through American Idol, that song is in my head. Straight up.

Frickles: Don't front. We KNOW how much you love you some KFC.

But look at NM bringing the Bojangles. I would have thought you'd go all Churchs on me.

FWIW: I love me some KFC. Not so much the chicken. But the skins. Call me Joey Tribbiani if you must, but if they sold a bucket of skins, I'd be all over that. I also like their mashed pots and coleslaw (not so much the new recipe as the old, but it's still good). Their potato salad, however, leaves A LOT to be desired. Like starting a Trip Report and not finishing it. Twice.

Hi Mel!

 

[Frickles]

NM knows me well. I like Bo better than the Colonel (or as Zzub would spell it, Kernel).

Whatitdo Lakisha! I think now would be a perfect time for you to post that picture of you loving on your big tub of kfc!

 

[pongoperdigirl]

Howdy!

 

[pongoperdigirl]

I could go for some Krystals right about now though.
