If all goes well....you should be able to check back here in another 5yrs and this thread will still be thriving.

Maybe useless chit chat #37 will be!

I'm cheating on my camping trip I know. But when I came inside to use my...{ahem} comfort station, I thought I'd check in. We had a good night. Nobody got freaked out and wanted to come inside because Daddy wasn't with us. By 'nobody' I mean me.

It's so nice that your "comfort station" in equipped with a computer.

Thanks 2goofs....Ive heard alot about Mythos...cant wait to try it....while on the subject...I havent made ANY reservations for ANYTHING for my May trip...but the only thing I even plan on doing is Mythos....the rest will be played by ear....I want to do as little planning as possible for this trip,....the last thing I wanna do is have to follow a schedule. BUT I dont wanna miss out on getting to try out Mythos, since its the only place in USO/IoA thats really gets any mentions anywhere. Does Universal DO ADRs or even better, ACTUAL RESERVATIONS? Have any of you guys tried Mythos.

BTW....ive been keeping my fingers crossed because my wifes job has what they call "black out" dates....thats times when no employees are allowed time off....and the entire month of MAY was blacked out because of Mothers day, and Memorial Day, and the Poker tournament they are going to be televising from there. We THOUGHT she was just gonna have to quit her job, not that it would have been a big deal because they had been treating her so bad anyway....but all the supervisors that were giving her a hard time have been fired and they granted her our vacation time off!!!!! We're pretty proud because she has NEVER been anything less than one of the most valuable employees at EVERY casino she's ever worked at, and apparently the SUITS at Harrah's have realized that and canned the trouble makers and are making it up to her by letting her off during a black out time!!! Yay for Gina!!!

And yay for us not having to stress over her finding a new job when we get back from the fort!!!!

 

[VACAMPER]

Good for Gina!! Everything always has a way of working out.

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Yay! For Gina!!!!!

Only the finest in my comfort stations!

Yay for Gina!!!

I'll drink to that. What does she do at the Casino? We have the Seneca Niagara Casino within walking distance of where DW works and we've never even set foot in it. Not much of a gambler, but not for any reason other than I'm not good at it.

Thanks 2goofs about Mythos. Think we'll try that one too.

Well, I'll finish catching up here the go back outside to clean up more. Gonna be 81 here today and sunny. Should set a record high!


An Ami, what kind of throne is in there?

 

[lisa8200]

Im not trying to be mean but... is this thread ever going to end!! this.. what number..2054 or is it 2055 i hane no clue?!?!?!?

I can't think of any reason it should. You could also probably call it over 5000

They didn't want to sound mean and then I re-read my post and I thought I sounded mean. Completely unintentional if it did...

 

[RvUsa]

I just wanted to let everyone know, I feel a little less like death today. Not great, but better....

Well, we have 4 different ones, so you can take your pick. None are particularly nice, though.

Several pages back, y'all were mentioning Fire Ants. I'm lucky enough to not have ANY in my yard.

Here's the secret:

An environmentally friendly cure for fire
ants has been announced by Walter Reeves on his
Georgia Gardener radio program. Testimonial that it
REALLY WORKS are coming in.


Simply pour two cups of CLUB SODA (carbonated water)
directly in the center of a fire ant mound. The
carbon dioxide in the water is heavier than air and
displaces the oxygen which suffocates the queen and
the other ants. The whole colony will be dead within
about two days.Here's the good side: club soda
leaves no poisonous residue, does not contaminate
the ground water, and does not indiscriminately kill
other insects. Not harmful to your pets ,soaks in
ground . Each mound must be treated individually and
a one liter bottle of club soda will kill 2 to 3
mounds.Spread the word.


I was questioned a couple of years ago as to size of the party I was throwing because I was walking out of the store with about a dozen bottles of Club soda. When I tried to explain to the questioner, I saw the glazed look of non-belief in the eyes. I gave up.

I did find out that it did take a couple of treatments to finish off a mound or two.

I try to keep up with y'all.

Glad your feeling better.

Heatair- Thanks for the advice about fire ants. We have found no bitemarks on my daughter and this morning she is completely broken out and swollen again. I guess will be calling the doctor back. The prednisone is only holding the breakouts off for a few hours after taking it.

Glad you are feeling a little better John.

We've decided to put our house on the market. Our agent is on her way over to do the paperwork. This house is just too darn big to maintain. 7000 sq ft, 7 bathrooms, 6 bedrooms, etc, etc. Our 14 yr old is already talking college. How can we pay for college AND trips to FW ?? So we are going to look for a smaller, more manageable house.

An Ami, what kind of throne is in there?

Shes a cocktail server. She has worked at 4 casinos in the last 15 years: Treasure Chest in Kenner, LA
Paris in Las Vegas, NV
Casino Magic in Biloxi, MS
and Harrah's in New Orleans, LA

We are dead set against gambling too. She has seen many people lose more than we've ever even had in mere moments, has seen people get arrested right off of the gaming floor because they had they kids waiting for them in the car in the parking lot, heard stories of her regular customers committing suicide after big losses.

I, have on occassion when waiting for her to get off of work dropped a 20 into a slot machine, but its always been more of "lets see how fast I can lose this $20" than "Im gonna try to double my money". When we lived in Vegas, we were shocked that ya couldnt go grocery shopping without passing the slot machines....I would even bet that they had them in churches and librairies!!!!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

7000 sqft??? That aint no house!!! Thats a mansion!!!!
