Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

Do they bring their own winnebagos, or use your clubs?

 

[Gatordad]

I have you pictured as a closet revolutionary.

 

[ftwildernessguy]

As I suspected - there you are, training a mercenary in handgrenade techniques.

 

[Gatordad]

We later trained on small arms techniques @ the Magic Kingdom Frontierland.

So here is the promised picture, this is from an ultrasound 2 weeks ago. We hopefully should find out the sex of the baby right after we get back from the Fort when we go in for the 20 week ultrasound...

Congrats Colson We had identical twins, twin A and twin B!!! WOW I asked the doctor if hes was drinking and maybe was seeing double. Great for you Disney will take on a whole new meaning now that you will be brining your child

 

[Colson39]

it's a boy

That's what they said, although they only gave it 60-40 odds. Let's just say the DW REALLY wants a girl, which means now we'll have keep on trying. But I told her she only gets 3 shots, I'm not raising the Brady Olson Bunch.

And thanks Tungpo, I'm very much looking forward to reliving Disney! Too bad I can't get the same experience with my dog...lol.

I agree with gator, it's a boy. I have a 6th sense about these things. Your DW will love him just the same! Plus, its fun to keep trying

 

[BigDaddyRog]

My, thats a handsome kid ya got there, Colson!!! Congrats, buddy and, although it IS fun to keep trying it gets expensive....I kept rolling the dice for a boy...ended up with 4 girls before I finally gave up!! Alls good though, finally got a grandson that I raise like my own, and I dont have to change too many diapers this time around!!

I think it was on a different thread, but this is more like useless chit chat.

There was talk of motorcylcles and ntsammy's umpteen broken bones.

Anyway, after my DH wrecked his this weekend, his co-workers gave him a gift of pink and yellow training wheels. Thought you all might appreciate that.

The back of my helmet:

May actually increase my risk, I'm not sure.

the first time i had my truck parked on pine straw, and was told to move it. Meanwhile, there's cars parked all over the damn campground. I told the guy if they had given me a decent spot I would have had room.

The 2nd, they told me i couldn't have my golf cart where it was, i told the guy to cool his jets, i was just taking a picture.

You must have encountered "Mean Gene" - the Ft.Wilderness self-appointed loop nazi! If he was wearing a straw hat & driving a pick-up truck, that was Gene!! He LOVES giving out those nasty notes tell you that you cannot park anywhere but on the pavement or coquina shell.

 

[Gatordad]

Well I was Mean Pete, because I griped to him that my site was small, and said i'd move the truck, then went back to grilling, refusing to look at him. I was pissed I had just lost a burger into the coals.

 

[des1954]

Well I was Mean Pete. I was pissed I had just lost a burger into the coals.

You??? Mean??? Perish the thought!

Better to be pissed off, than..... well, you know!!

Do you still work for the Tel-co?? The happiest day of my life was 10/24/03 ---- or the day I retired from Verizon (formerly known as GTE). My "official" retirement date was in February 04 - but my last day worked was as posted above. I HAD to get all my vacation time in!! Collecting a paycheck for approximately 9 weeks without showing up for work was pure bliss!!

My DH retired from the Tel-co in 02. 30 years was enough!! It was a good living, though. Sometimes I miss it - (NOT!!!).

 

[Gatordad]

I'm still with AT&T...... what a sorry existence.

 

[des1954]

I'm still with AT&T...... what a sorry existence.

I feel your pain!!!

Trust me.... there is life after the phone company.

I was a service rep - in various departments - most of my career. I never took management because I didn't want them sucking all the life out of me.

DH was a carrier, special services & CO tech, spending his first 10 years in I&M.

What do you do & how much time do you have left?

 

[Gatordad]

Right now, I'm in ICB Pricing - I hold the purse strings, hehehehehehee... I formerly was in Sales and Project Management. I've got many years to go.

So here is the promised picture, this is from an ultrasound 2 weeks ago.

Hey Colson --

Neat picture!

Don't they do these in color yet?

Looks just like you!

I agree with Rog tho, grandkids are great because you don't worry about the diapers!

Well we see the 4D one in a couple weeks, which is supposed to be amazing cause it's like you're actually there. Although I really don't know if I would want to see it in color..lol
