Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

Whew! I think I'm caught up! I had a busy weekend with not enough time to devote to this board.....what was I thinking????? Thanks Deb, for your strategically placed summaries!

I am so in for the weight loss! Just like the rst of you, my oldest DD is solid and hitting puberty and by definition, self concious! My youngest is a mile a minute, eats like a horse and may never have weight issues!

I want to loose 10 pounds by Europe....I've got 3 weeks.....can I do it???? I am presently very hungry....I think I'll have strawberries.


Most importantly:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DD ALEXIS!!!!!!! AND TO VACAMPER'S DD!!!!!!!

ANOTHER VACATION !!!!
this just illustrates what I have been saying, I really dont think you have a job, like some others on this board, I think you are a professional bum.

I know you think I'm a loaf BDD. I'm feelin the crunch like everybody else on the fuel prices so if you see me going somewhere it's probably going to be a joint effort lol. We split fuel 4 ways and the cabin 5 ways as my cousin drove up alone. There was a time when it wasn't a problem to hook up the camper and go for a weekend to ride 4 wheelers or to FW but it's just crazy with the fuel prices. I don't think I'm alone when it comes to ways to make a trip more reasonable. It makes me wonder if things will come back anytime soon. Lowering fuel prices I think would do more to stimulate the economy than the tax rebate. The tax rebate is a one time deal and will be spent quickly. Lower fuel would make people feel better about getting on the road to spend money. I wonder if WDW will run any specials at the fort this year even at the peak times to lure business.

BTW Scott, I cooked 4 pork tenderloins on charcoal Saturday that turned out great. I didn't even drop em lol. I marinated them overnight in my usual dr pepper and they were so moist and tender you hardly had to use a knife. I think I figured out my heat problem. The grills at the fort have no grate to put the coals on therefore you get no heat under them. My grill does and after seeing that I figured it out. No more using the forts grils lol.

Thank you!!!!!!

 

[VACAMPER]

Thanks, Rog! My birthday girl is bouncing around the living room on this big bouncy ball thing she got at her party yesterday.

Stacktester, Dr. Pepper? Really? That's my husbands favorite drink. I would think it would be really sweet.

I think I am going to buy a new Weber for home andd relegate my old one to camping duty. The grills at FW are usable but they require more charcoal and more attention than my Weber.
Too bad fuel is so crazy high, I could come down there and teach you how us Yankees can grill

I have 6 Confederates in my lineage and no Union, where do you suppose my allegiances lie ?

There isnt much roadkill around, they use it in the prisons, if it was left around they would find a way to tax it anyways

Happy Birthday VACAMPER DD and PP's DD!

You know, if you marinate road kill, it cuts down on the toughness, and speaking of toughness, you always have to fight with those darn buzzards to get a piece of the meat!

I'd love to see a special like the one WDW ran in 2003. I think it was 7 nights for 4 deal?? We stayed at GF for 8 days and 7 nights for LESS than what we had paid for 6 night at ASMo earlier that year!

Happy Birthday girls!!

I remember that! We got a great deal on the Poly in '03!

What part of it ? the first part is true, the second is a product of my sardonic wit

With the gas prices like they are, I am wondering if the Florida residents are going to bail out WDW again. I remember in 2002 and the early 80's when FL residents came in droves, and also right after the hurricanes.

I know that going up to FW is not much more of a big deal because of gas prices because we live close, but we are seriously considering not going to football games because of the price of diesel. We actually drove to the next town north to get 25 cents off diesel and my debit card would only authorize 75 dollars.

I hope WDW will run the specials again, however, with the Euro so strong and the foreign jobbers coming over with the dollar so weak, I tend to doubt it.

OK, off my soapbox...
