A little off topic here but I had to say although I don't remember who it was for sure that used to have a pic in the siggie recommending "The Shack" thank you. What an amazing book!

Actually I can bring this back on topic...It would be a great book to read curled up in front of a fireplace at VWL!

That, I think, would be me. There is a thread on the community board and it seems that most people didn't like it! But a few of us did. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It wasn't a fun book to read (to keep on topic, not fun, like going to VWL!) but a good book nonetheless.

I thought it was amazing also and am going to join a book club in a little while when they read and dissect it.

Good Thursday Groupies!! Blossomz,

WDWJWEB2 , take care of our Beloved Wilderness Lodge!!

The community board can be a very scary place. I try not to venture over there very often.

Thanks for putting the pic in your sig for a while. It is an amazing book.

Too cute!

Hey folks!

Just had to share, Im under 100! 99 days to go and counting! Yippeeeeeeee

 

[blossomz]

Hooray Jimmytammy!! I need to start my group thinking about next year's trip! I can't stand not having a countdown!

Anyone hear how the weather has been in the world the last few days? Sounds like LOTS of rain!

Thanks Disney Loving Iowan ! I am back ! Just rolled in the front door about an hour ago. When we left Orlando (WDW), it was drizzling to light rain and very dark skies. Not even a hint of sun. This would have been 3 yucky days in a row for gloominess due to Faye. My dd said her campus is bad. Flooded, down trees and debris all over. The campus is closed today and tommorrow and they are hoping to be able to open on Friday. She told me students are using rafts and kayaks to ride up and down the flooded creek.

I will post some pics of my trip when I get some time. I was supposed to have all of today to recoup and unpack before I went back to work.....but now I have to go back tommorrow with no "down" day (or post-vacation day blues day as I call them !)
We did really like the AKV---very heavily themed. But dh thinks he prefers VWL over AKV by a bit. It's the extra years with AKV that is pulling him in that direction as far as more points go. But he said he got a better feeling at the VWL---just atmosphere-wise.

I'm SO waaayyy behind on the thread. Just want to say "HI" to anyone new who joined us while I've been in FL for 19 days

Thanks for letting us know. Glad you got home okay and that DD is okay. Boy the folks in eastern Iowa sure can sympathize with what Florida is going through right now.

Hey WDWJWEB2 how is the weather?

Muushka loved the picture! I have to check out the LOL cats and dogs everyday.

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Just had to tell everyone a funny thing that happened at work today. I had to change my background picture (had a picture of Montana but need to change it for now). So I made it one of my pictures I took of our lodge. A coworker saw the picture and jokingly asked if that was my summer home! I wanted to say summer, winter, fall and spring! I didn't really go into how it really is my home cause I knew he wouldn't understand. You know how that is. Then another coworker later in the day asked the same thing.

Muushka when did you say you are going in Dec 09? Still trying to figure out when we can go. We would like to go in Dec but I don't know if we should take DD out of school with her being in high school. Also they have finals right before Christmas break. I sure would like to stay at the lodge at that time of year though.

Hi DLI

We are going to be at VWL from 12/6 thru 12/12 or 13, 2009.

We leave for WDW (not VWL though) on 9/19!! Then the Magic!!! And guess what we are going to do....we're going to Universal and Islands of Adventure!!!! We have our APs. I am so wanting a coaster. I have not been on a good one in a couple of years. I may be old, but I love thrill rides!! My husband won't ride with me but my cousin wil!!

Oh, and by the way, since I'm among friends, I will admit that we got Guitar Hero for the Wii and I can finally do something better than my husband!!!! I had to duel with Slash last night and I whupped him!!!

OK, shutting up......

as most of you know, im in WDW right now. so to answer your question, the rain isnt too bad, and neither is the wind. the rain has been on and off (mostly on).on a 1-10 scale, 10 being the worst, i give the rain a 5 and the wind a 4.its a lot cooler here though

 

[jimmytammy]

Hey Muushka

We have had Guitar Hero for 2 yrs now and Im still in easy mode. Does it ever get any better? DD picks it up and rocks out on medium right off the bat, and she doesnt like the songs. I know every note in my mind of some of those late 70s, early 80s songs, but just cant get my fingers to transpire what my mind tells them to do

Thanks for the weather report! Are you hitting the parks despite the rain?

Here's wishing all the Groupies a great week-end! Promises to be in the mid 80's in Ohio.

WDWJWEB2 - I hope the sun shines for you and you can stay dry and warm!

Muushka - I really, really don't like cats.....your pic was quite cute, though!

jimmytammy - Keep the countdown going! Before you know it, you'll be in single digits.

Hey Muushka

Hey JT. Well, we got it a couple of weeks ago and I am almost done with the easy career, about 3 songs left. They are getting more and more difficult!

Back in my Tetris (my all time favorite) days, I would start out on 9/5 (the most difficult for those who never played) and die very quickly, but it forced me to do better. I don't know if Guitar Hero will be as kind to me. But once I am done with this easy, I will report back about my miserable failure on Med.

Wow, your daughter started out on Med? She Rocks!!!! i can't imagine!! I do not know most of the music that they have on GH. I sort of got stuck in the 60's and 70's and a few 80's music! The punk or whatever it is is just plain torture to me. I was so excited for Santana and the Stones!

To bring this conversation to VWL, I wish it had some Lodge music on it! And WDWJWEB2 I hope the weather improves!

You don't like cats??? That does not compute??

Hey Groupies just wanted to say my parents are currently at VWL and they paid cash for the room. They originally booked a 1 bedroom and got upgraded to a 2 bedroom. Lucky them. One of the cm's at the front desk said there were a few cancelations because of the storm. Everyone who is down there stay dry.

 

[wildernessDad]

Speaking of cats, when we got our little little kitten, we thought it would be cute if she came up on the bed at night....

Granted, this little kitten was smitten with me from the get go. When I had to sleep in a recliner chair because of an operation, she came up and got between my legs to curl up and sleep.

Anyway, back to the story at hand. She now is a big cat and she sleeps with us every night. Fortunately, not on the bed, but she runs up the stairs to sleep in our bedroom.

Oh would my DD be so jealous. She has X-box and would love to have Guitar Hero. Maybe for Christmas?
Thanks for letting me know when you will be in the World next year. I knew you had said something before about having a meet. You don't have much longer till your next trip! How exciting! Love coasters!!! I haven't been to Universal in quite awhile. I don't know I am just so turned away by their anti-Disney commercials. Haven't been to IOA you will have to let me know how you like it. Saw a commercial today for the Simpson's ride. Okay back to VWL talk...

Haven't heard anything about our mascot Lodgeloafer in forever.
