I feel so cheap and used.

cheap and used.... I was only trying to make you feel used...

No worries, it has nothing to do with anyone here, I just needed a bit of a breather is all.

Plus I visited the Fort 3 times in November, so between that and the DIS it was like all that was going on in November...lol.

The Thanksgiving trips were fun, they just weren't great trips. I don't know what it was, something just felt different. Might have also been other company that was with us, but I'm sure everything will work itself out

I WAS WRONG! He's only 6'7"!

6'7"??? Maybe if you measure horizontally!!! It was GREAT meeting you guys....I really wanted to get back and slam a few back with ya'll......but them dang kids wore me out it wasnt till our 4th day in a park that I could feel my feet again....and they didnt feel good!!! Al, I was a bit surprised at your appearance too....you look just like me!!! Except taller, wiser(nicer than older), and in much better shape....ok,ok,.....but at least were both bald!! And I definately think we should start a "Catch Colson" thread!!! Colson, you're like a living legend...catching you on film may be as rewarding on the DIS as getting a clear shot of bigfoot on film!!!! .....AND....YOURE BALD, LIKE US!!!!! GATORDAD, BIGDISNEYDADDY and FWGUY....you guys gonna lose those locks, or what? des1954 and hubby were a blast....my kinda folks. Down to earth, well grounded, real people with hearts o'gold!!! I've got some photos to post, and lotsa unpacking to do....I'll post a mini-report soon.....oh yeah...WOLFGANG PUCKS was awfull!!! I was looking so forward to it, and it was bland....even the ice cream was tasteless!!!! I enjoyed some of the counter service meals more than WPucks!!!

That's OK. I look like Princess Fiona. Only, I'm not green. Well, usually I'm not.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Ive been waiting to see if anyone commented on the Butterbean reference...Ive met Butterbean a couple of times, nicest guy in the world. I havent seen or heard about him in a long time...saw him as a commentator on hbo a while back...but as far as you looking like him, I think I gotcha beat on that one....n'dat aint nuttin'a be proud of, eeder!

Okay, you made me feel used. I'm just cheap by nature.

As far as my hairline, BigDaddyRog, if you notice, any picture of me I am wearing a baseball hat for good reason.

I was up with you, would have loved a good snake game, but the dis was so slow on my end that I gave up and watched "That's so Raven"

Oh no. It's starting -- 18" - 30" of snow this weekend to add to the roughly 12" on the ground. Not unusual but unwanted! Just finished snow blowing the driveway. At least it's not too cold.

ADD: The bad news continues: The list of cancellations for tonight included Miss Cathy's School of Dance! Oh those poor kids!

On October 2nd, 2006 SurferRat started the PICTURE OF THE DAY FROM THE FORT thread that has always had the highest number of posts, CURRENTLY AT 1,090 or so....due the the heavy picture content.........ALWAYS,that is...TILL NOW. GATORDAD, being the ingenious uberslacker that he is, has created the greatest thread on the face of the planet...no...in the entire universe...with one sole intent.......he was too lazy to continue starting new threads every time he felt the urge to bare OFF-TOPIC(which is quite often for our group) or had random thoughts(much like those of Jack Handy)and had the master mind intelligence to have all the cutting edge of importance combined right here with a phenomenal 1,253 posts and going strong. Congrats to GATORDAD and a heartfelt thank you for all of us being able to benefit from your laziness and lack of motivation...its great men like this that have provided the world with things like the television remote....keyless entry, cruise control and automatic windows in vehicles....the clapper. Some say NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION, I think this thread proves that LAZINESS is the true power that makes the world go 'round! Heres to another 1250 posts!!

Oh great, now the ego is going to be even bigger.....

I'v waited and waited with no response. Do you think the Ego could have gotten so big that we are not worthy???????? Nah, must just be a busy weekend . Even with Gatordad not responding yet, I didn't think Stacktester could let this go without one comment.It must be the warth of the christmas spirit. .

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Is it possible that his ego just cant GET any bigger??? He wouldnt disapoint us would he? That SOB is always a step ahead, aint he?

 

[Gatordad]

I apologize, I was in class all weekend.......

and my ego isn't that big...... just because I'm the coolest guy to post on the disboards, and I heard they were secretly looking to make me uber-monitor with power to pardon people.

who am i kidding, we live to go off topic!

Plasma vs LCD?

Ive had a 42" Panasonic plasma tv for over 4 years and it has been great despite the critics at the time saying they wouldn't last more than 10,000 hours or some junk. We hardly EVER turn it off...I only work 3 nights a week so its on at least 4 nights, the kids watch it during the day....it literally hardly ever gets turned off and still has a razor sharp picture.
Ive gotten my kids one of these WII game things for xmas, and its suposed to be very physically interactive which I think is GREAT since it will get there lazy butts up and make them excercise something more than just their thumbs. So, they will need room to move around and the only room in the house that has enough space to accomodate something like this is the formal living room...which NEVER gets used CUZ WE AINT THE FORMAL TYPE!!!! So I need another TV to put in there. Plasmas and LCDs are very close in price and size...but I know basiclly NOTHING about LCD except that they look pretty nice.
Now, finally, I get to the point: Whats the difference between the two? Does LCD have benefits that Plasma doesnt. Should I try an LCD, or stick to what I know is tried and true? Ive done some web research, but cant really find anything more than "I LOVE THIS TV BECAUSE...", but then you come to find out that the moron has only owned it for a month or so, and ya really dont know how good a product is till after a year or more. Do any of you have any experience with LCD? Any opinions? Any personal reviews?
