Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

[Gatordad]

I just saw this on a news update on another site, looks like the Travel Channel has some new Disney shows coming out in April!! I like Samantha Brown too, she's a good host....



She's also the only one to ever do a show that actually showed Fort Wilderness (she did a holiday tour of all the campsite decorations last Christmas season), so she's A-OK in my book.

Samantha Brown, hubba hubba

 

[Gatordad]

BTW, whats wrong with France?

It looks nice, but it is in france NO THANKS

You sound like my step-dad. He hates France too. But he raises chickens, so they are all over his house. We were living in Ohio, my mom had us paint the kitchen & about half the house, & the colors she picked are that deep red & tan. W/ chickens & roosters all over the kitchen, it's just like a French Country kitchen, all they need to finish it is the toile curtains....

(PS--I don't think he realizes that it's that type of design either.)

 

[RvUsa]

Sorry, hows musketmickey coming?

Rog, dog is cute, our other dog is 1/2 huskey, and is a neurotic mess. Hope its not a genetic triat....

Woo Hoo!! I have some of the other Disney shows taped from the Travel Channel. DH complains that I aways watch them when they're on, even if they're repeats, and "we've seen this before."

He is too cute. My DH had one growing up & still loves them, but doesn't want one, especially in FL. That's just too cruel for that kind of dog!!

Yeah, Lupin Remis was a friend of Harry's dad & is a werewolf. He's cool, I like him.

Ha, great pic and cute pup. Your dd looks really happy

Samantha Brown is great...I'm looking forward to the shows! Of course, we'll be at the Fort when the first one airs....OH WELL! That's what DVR is for!

ME too!!! We were planning a trip next year (or trying to), but now w/ the economy & stuff, not sure if we're going then or not. We never got a honeymoon, so that would be ours. We just have to find someone to watch the boys. I don't know that we'd stay on propery or not. I found a company that does tours out of Paris. One is to DLP. It's actually cheaper that staying on property & they have a good reputation.

We actually talked about taking all the kids for about a month or so & renting an RV over there & camping our way through Europe. Of course, that wouldn't be for 5-10 years, & not until after we go by ourselves & over to CA to the Original DL. A lot of people seem to do this from here (sometimes taking the entire summer). They say its really the best way to tour Europe & you really get to know the locals, etc.

That caravan around Europe thing sounds fantastic! Maybe one day.......

I've read about people doing that, and some of the gorgeous places they camped.

I ended up booking a "partner" hotel and not one on Disney property. It looks very quaint and provincial (which is the decorating term~ French provincial.....and my favorite style ) I got a deal on travelocity


BTW, I hear parisians don't care for us, but those in the French country side couldn't be friendlier! Maybe they appreciate us bailing them out!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Rog, that dog is almost as beautiful as your daughter!

 

[We4mickey]

Rog, That dog is beautiful. I wouldn't have been able to say no either. At least you were quick enough to put a spin on it and get something out of it.

I've looked at those too. There's one that almost looks like a old country hunting lodge that I really liked. But I want to go see my castle in the Loire Valley & go to some of the museums in Paris, so I think we'll be staying in Paris & venturing out from there. But next trip will be getting more into the country side. DFIL is 100% German, so that's definitely on the list for the caravan trip. I'm part German, English & a whole bunch of mutt (aka 100% American blend) From what I've read, when you're camping, even the French are nice & the ones outside of Paris are not so full of themselves . So, it's not all the French.

Rog, the puppy is gorgeous and very cool name too! My DS4 loved the picture because he just got the Webkinz version of a husky.

Yea, that puppy is a looker

I know this is supposed to be "Chit Chat" so forgive me. Only I don't want to get in trouble for an off topic post...So, I'll make it quick.
My husband Bob (see handsome smiling man in my signature photo.) He is going to have some surgery tomorrow. While we've known about it for about a month or so..we are really nervous. Basically his stomach is in his chest and they need to bring it back down..to where a stomach belongs! Long story short..there have been some other complications that were discovered while preparing for this surgery..and we have reason to be concerned. I'm worried..okay ..I'm scared. Without boring you(which I've probably done by now..sorry ) there are reasons for my apprehension..hospitals/surgeries have not always been kind to us..and my fear level is starting to kick into high tonight. Trying not to show it..being strong and all that. Anyway, I've come to enjoying chating here with all of you. You're a crazy... but kind hearted bunch. Even the grumpy guys out there..and you know who you are! In any case, if you wouldn't mind keeping my Bob in mind..or if in your prayers if you are so inclined, I'd really appreciate it. He's just a hardworking guy who breaks his butt for his family and enjoys the simple things. He knows what's important. His favorite saying is "This is the life!"..and it's usually while enjoying little things that most people take for granted.

Okay..don't want to suck the life out of this thread..I know you guys wanna get to at least 1000 tonight!

Hope things are going well for you today Auntie, I just got back to the boards today and found the posts. It's no fun waiting for surgery, and I trust that your surgeons are doing the best that they can. When our oldest son went through 12 + hrs of surgery last fall (anticipated 4 or 5 hrs) we almost went insane. We knew we had the best surgeons available (4 of them, one flown in the night before), but a last minute review of CT scans showed tumors in our sons chest. They managed to get to everything in his chest by doing a 3-inch cut at the base of the neck so that he would not have a huge scar on his chest. We got that bad news at 6:30 am. First in surgery and last out that day. Over 100 surgeries per day in that operating wing, and the surgical waiting area is well staffed with RNs who gave us updates once per hour. When we had a question, the RN actually called into the OR to speak with the surgeon. We were so glad to see the smile on his face later that night - guy looked like had just thrown the winning pitch in a 12 inning game.

Forgive the long winded response, just saying I hear ya on the stress part and I'm saying a prayer for you and Bob.

Ok, this might be the funniest story I've ever read in my life. I'm literally in tears, I can't stop laughing.

A New Zealand man has been sentenced to community service after telling police he was raped by a wombat and the experience had made him speak "Australian".

Arthur Ross Cradock, 48, from the South Island town of Motueka, called police on February 11 and told them he was being raped at his home by the wombat and he needed help, The Nelson Mail newspaper reported.

The orchard worker later called back and said: "Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right, you know."

Oh yeah, Chris!!! I forget about that place! And yes - we still call it either Lake Buena Vista or the Disney Village.

I remember when there was a hamburger joint where Ghiradelli's now sits.

I remember that place! They used to have a quadruple cheeseburger. Kevin loved those!

Beautiful pup BDR. I'll ask in a couple of months if you still love him. Our pup was cute for a week or two before he turned satanic.
