The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 6

[bear74]

At the primate house there is a silhouette of a gorilla and my kids like to see how they measure up. So, here is this year's measurement.

cute kids

I've read everything over the past few days, but just haven't been able to comment on everything. We've been very busy. All the pictures are great, the kids look so adorable.

Welcome back Marti!

Kristine - After further inspection of the ME stuff, I think they are correct. Your yellow tags have my name and your name on them. I think the reason my name is on them is because the room is in my name. I also have the voucher you need at the ME check-in counter to board the bus. I did call and give them your flight info, which they did not have, although I gave it to them when I originally called and reserved it. So, the nice WDW luggage tags should come this week, and then I will send everything off to you. I don't know why they don't send it all together.

Denise - thinking about you all this afternoon. Let us know how things went.

This has me worried, since she hasn't answered yet!!! Maybe she pm'd you to tell you in private how horrid I am?!?!

But I will let you know that Elin is just as nice a lady in person as she is here on the thread. We met for coffee during some of the free time I had today, in between my Monday runnings around. It was only for 45 minutes or so, definitely not enought time! I did notice that we both have Mickey Mouse watches. This must be another DDA thing. Who all has one?

Tammi - I am a little worried that she hasn't answered as well!!!

I do I do!

I love it. I got it on sale Thanksgiving last year, and I had never seen one like it. I used to have the leather one with the Mickey whose arms make the arms of the clock (which I also loved). My new one is a platinum-like color (or should I pretend it's real platinum ) which matches other jewlery I have and it's got Mickey heads as links and a really pretty face. It was originally $50 something dollars and I ended up getting it for about $9 It's my favorite Mickey purchase ever!

You look fantastic!!! That is the first place I noticed my weight loss - in my face!! I don't mind looking in a mirror anymore.

I decided to post a Before and During picture of myself to help Denise make up her mind about NutriSystem

Actually, I was cleaning out my pictures and saw the ones from Christmas and was shocked at how different I look now! I do realize that the angle of the second picture is a bit different, but now I know why my friends are suddenly taking notice.

Cinderella teaching Bethie how to curtsey

I love how cinderella is showing her how to curtsey and then in the next picture she is doing just that.

I do I do!

The one I have is about 12/13 years old, and has the gold and silver face and metal band, with his arms moving around the clock. I love it. A few years ago John got me a nice watch for Christmas and said something silly like "I'm tired of seeing that Mickey Mouse watch." Needless to say, just for that comment alone, I continue to wear my MM watch.

 

[lmartin2711]

Don't worry Marti - you have a whole stash just for you!!!

Jen - I know we talked about these - they are just like the big one just in bite size pieces!!

[bear74]

Jennifer I hope you had a great time. yes I am posting it this way because I know she is already gone. This is for when she gets back.

My brother just sent me this email - DO NOT READ THIS AND DRINK AT THE SAME TIME - You have been warned!

Here are 6 reasons why you should think before you speak - the last one is great!

Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the word back...or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are the testimonials of a few people who did...

FIRST TESTIMONY: I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a Shampoo and a blow job?" I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word...he knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY: I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."

THIRD TESTIMONY: My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No,I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY: While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY: Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. The realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in awhile, so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No". I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident? "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. So, I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled
"SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST TESTIMONY: This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any... a true story... We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

Reminds me of when my mother went shopping with my sister and told her they needed to get a g-string for my grandfather. My sister was horrified wondering why in the world my grandfather would wear a g-string (he was in his late 80's at the time). The g-string was for one of his musical instruments. My mom had so much fun in the store with my sister on that one.

Ok, does anyone know of a free video hosting site? I found the email with the funny video, but it's just a .wmv file so I can't share it

ETA: Nevermind, found one! I'll work on getting it upoaded

 

[UP Disney]

I seem to rember a picture of you in the queens mrs potts costume.

Funny you should mention that now. I just read about that costume.

I have lost my mind!!

So you all know Julia is a Belle Nut - well - she always tells me I am Mrs. Potts when she dresses up like Belle - look what I just ordered for 14.99 from Disney Direct - she is going to flip out the first time I put this on!!!

and no - I will not be posting pictures!

Though, I do seem to remember seeing a picture of the queen in the costume at one time.

Ok, so here is the link to the video. Because it's actually a family member's friend, I'm not going to leave it up for more than a day or two. There are other versions posted elsewhere online, but they are poor quality and I really want you all to see this clearly.

It does have a little "crude humor" but the relative who sent it to me is the Dean of Southern Seminary (a baptist seminary) in Kentucky, so it's not really inappropriate, don't worry It just uses a word that maybe kids should not hear, so listen/watch cautiously. As a way of warning, the word is just something that refers to a body part that might occasionally be painted blue Nothing more harmful than conversations we have around here!

If you do decide to watch it, be SURE to watch his facial expression after his little goof. It's by far the best moment of the video, but the entire minute or so is definitely worth watching!

I have a Cinderella watch that I had when I was a little girl. Of course the gold is faded and the sides are scratched up but to me it is priceless!!

I finally found a picture on amazon of my watch! I took one to show, but you can't see the details of the face at all. I couldn't find it on any of the various Disney watches sites
