Disneycrazymom, I'm so sorry that happened to your son. My daughter called me today to tell me that someone smashed out the back window of her car.
It was my husband's car, he basically gave it to her when he left for Iraq (she got to officially have it as soon as she could pay the insurance, so she's had it since August). Poor kid. She only his liability insurance because of her age...insurance is so screaming expensive. I feel awful for her. Of course, nice mommy that I am, I used to opportunity to reiterate my firm belief that they need to get OUT of the neighborhood they are living in.
I'm sorry to hear that too!
1. you're not a spoiled brat
2. putting together all the information and doing all the research for the trip was a very sweet thing to do.
3. it is okay to feel disappointed...you wanted the trip to be special and different.
4. sorry you didn't like riverside
5. i hope you end up going and having a really wonderful time.
6. what is the job you have lined up? are you excited about it?
Thanks, wonder. I'm *hoping* I'll be placed at either the elementary or high school level. No guarantees I will even be placed though, since I'll also be competing against a new batch of applicants. There should be at least 13-15 openings in the area that I'm aware of though, as opposed to a whopping four this past year.
Since Debbie requested...
Here is Jack in his polar fleece (which is needed, as it was -8 this morning)
...and "au naturel"...
Adorable! He's got such expressive eyes.
at the Sully pic.
does everybody else see the same commercials i do while watching fox? these HEINOUS gold coins and plates?!?!?!?
can't believe it, "yes you can own a piece of history..." paleeze!
They have been on my TV almost nonstop. Even during my soap opera, GH!
You are not being spoiled. If you are going to spend a lot of money on a vacation, it should be exactly how you want it. It's hard to compromise on that.
I was under the impression that only certain rooms are Nemo themed at CBR. I imagine they are highly desired by people with kids, so maybe if you put in a request to NOT be in that section it would be easily honored. Call them and see what they have to say about that. Good luck!
The Mod issue is moot for us now, but from what I've read all rooms at CBR are or will shortly be Nemo themed or Pirate themed. Pirates does fit, but we have no interest in those rooms. Don't get me started again on the Nemo ones.
Yes, because that's clearly an intended vote for one of the other 2 people.
Also adorable! Such a sweet face.
As a court reporter, and a Citizen! I am very disturbed by Obama promise to put judges in the Supreme Court who will be "more sympathetic" while coming to decisions. SYMPATHY HAS NO PLACE IN LAW!!!!!!! JUSTICE IS BLIND!!!!!!
I can see it now: Tom shot Mary. But Tom's gonna get off with a slap on the wrist because, you see, Tom grew up in foster care and the system has let him down, so he's a product of his environment and he didn't realize right from wrong. Mary's family, her husband and two little babies? Well, they can go straight to hell because, after all, Mary's husband has a great job and he's making $150, 000 a year and he can afford to hire a full-time nanny. But that poor Tom, he will only suffer more if he is incarcerated.
Yup, that's what we need. Sympathy coming from the bench...
Good luck with school, Corryn! I agree with you about justice being blind. Coulter's book "Godless" has a section on the usual liberal approach to the justice system/criminals, with lots of examples. Very enlightening, to say the least.
Okay, can I do a totally off topic vent? Totally off topic. Oh, and yes, I'll probably offend someone here (or someone who lurks here) so here goes....
Why does my mother ask me for detailed Christmas lists for me, DH and the kids and then buys nothing from them? She's offended if we give the same lists to other family members, so whatever is on the lists we give her we are guaranteed not to get? Do you know how hard it is to make up several lists for various members of the family and make sure there are no repeats on lists (MIL can't have the same list that my mom gets).
I could care less if I get gifts for Christmas, but last year I made an effort to make up a list of things I really DID want. I didn't get a single thing off the list - and these were all easy things - like DVDs or Soundtracks or a jewelry box. Nothing special.
Why ask for a list if you're not going to give anything off of it?
No flaming from me. I agree with you. A nutty relative who shall remain nameless always liked to give stuff with the tags cut off and no receipt. If it didn't fit, she would say
she would take it back and exchange it for something else she thought you would like. And that's among the most minor and trivial complaints I had about her. I am glad said person no longer lives near me. Ahem.
Alright, y'all are going to have to stay on top of some the nutcase OSers. I'm leaving to attend my Mom's retirement celebration that her coworkers are putting on for her. She's retiring next week after 40+ years of teaching elementary school.
She has my admiration! Most of my work has been at the ES level. It's not easy.
Anyway, I took my daughter to Chick-Fil-A. To make a long story short, she streaked through Chick-Fil-A after going potty.
Fortunately, it was after the lunch rush so the place was fairly empty, but still.
maybe we should start having voting classes for all those disenfranchised "people" who can't figure out how to fill in a circle. it could be a five day course, from 9 - 4, and it could cover the filling in of circles of all sizes using crayons, pencils, magic markers, and ball point pens. that would be in the morning. in the afternoon, they could advance to coloring in other shapes, beginning with ovular shapes.
now i'm not sure, but it seems to me if you can't figure out the "fill in the darned circle" thing on your own, that perhaps you can't understand what you're even voting for, but maybe that is evil, vile, hateful, and bigoted. dunno.
The first thing I thought in terms of that ballot was it could've been filled out by a disabled person. My grandmother has bad tremors in her writing hand and arm, and she thankfully has touch screen voting. If she had to fill in a circle, it very well could end up looking like that ballot picture.
Hi everyone I haven't been able to get on here much because school has been really hectic. It's crunch time as we have finals in two weeks. Bleh.
SD- I am so happy that you were able to convince your dad. We visited the WL last year when we ate at Whispering Canyon and it was stunning. When are you going, again?
I checked a bunch of dates and the only ones in April and May that came up that had a Standard View room at WL (read: cheaper view room) was at the end of April. We just
finally finished booking it!
SORCERERDONALD!!!! i am listening to the tower of terror loop you just requested!! isn't it fabu?
I could barely hear any of it!
I just endured almost an hour long fight with the WDW website's reservation system. It randomly started saying there were no rooms available in all of WDW from April to May.
