Who here is not in the "clique" like me? Part 4

[DznyFan]

Does anyone remember what they were doing when they first posted on the cliqueless thread? I was at work on a Thursday...same clinic I will be at tomorrow. I was was so excited to find a thread that wasn't already hundreds of pages long with insider info/ jokes. I try not to post much at work but I had to drop a quick line to say hi that day.

Yeah, I was at home lounging on the couch, looking around on the DIS.

What a great cake, Donna! thanks!


Nicole - cute dress!


Michele - wow - that is really cool about getting to meet 'DeVine', I too, am surprised she said anything, knowing how they are about CMs who are 'characters'. I don't think that we've ever met a Disney 'celebrity', I think the closest we've come is Erin's friend Ben, who is currently a lifeguard, but who is up for the part of Prince Philip for a show.


Hope everyone had a great 4th!

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Good Morning!

Thanks for the breakfast cake Donna!

Does anyone remember what they were doing when they first posted on the cliqueless thread?

I was here at work I believe.

Remind me, when is the party???

The party is Friday the 13th. And we are going gambling the next day.

I just can't believe how fast this past year has gone by...I think its because I've had such fun posting with some of my best friends

I feel the same way about you guys too!

Thanks for the compliments on the dress everyone!

HAPPY 1ST ANNVERSARY!!!

Nicole: I love your dress, it's very pretty!

I have no idea. I'd have to check the time on my post. I was either at home or at work. I was fairly new to the DIS and had been just randomly posting, I think I found the DIS when I was trying to figure out if the new stroller I'd just bought (the very same one that the NAUGHTY LADY broke at the Omaha Zoo) was any good. Little did I know I'd stumbled upon a place not only full of stroller experts, but of good friends as well. This was the first "clique"ish thread I dared to post on, and of course it wasn't one yet. The title of it just really resonated with me.

Well said. Even Lyzzie considers some of you guys friends - and she just looks over my shoulder occasionally. She is in love with Miss Ruby!

They told us to wait 10-15 mins outside to see if she would throw up the charcoal- she didn't and we thought she was safe...then as soon as we got home and I was trying to take a better pic, she started puking everywhere!

Whew, I was thinking that was going to be the next picture.

Is anyone off on Thursday and Friday?

I only wish!!

And that was post number 17700.

That gives us an average of about 49 posts per day. We are a typative bunch!

Speaking of which... I had a nice post all typed out last night, and then I lost my internet connection. I'm guessing all the firework vibrations messed with my wireless - I have no idea if that's even possible but I'd rather think that than that my computer is on the fritz. I restarted and it seems fine, but by then I was into watching my movie and didn't repost. I watched The Devil Wears Prada - it was cute but reminded me so much of Ugly Betty, which IMO is so much better.

So after we did our little fireworks last night, Emma asked, "Can we go see the fireworks now?" I explained that those were it, and she got upset and wanted to see the BIG fireworks. So my parents packed up the kids in the car and it was off to the Burger King parking lot to watch the fireworks and make a quick escape, and then have them sleep over at their house. Yay for me, a quiet night alone! Not to be... 20 seconds later they came back and unloaded a tearful Emma - she wanted her Mommy and wanted to sleep at home. Ok, so now they are just taking Lyzzie to the fireworks. As soon as they drove off, Emma started crying, "I want my sister back!" There is just no winning with that girl. I, being the resourcful parent that I am, stopped her tears with ice cream and Benadryl and she was fine.

So then this morning I slept in, because my mom told me at LEAST 5 times yesterday that she would come over in the morning. I woke up to the sound of my phone across the house - whoops I missed 4 calls from Mom. "Where are you?" Uh-oh, she forgot to tell me that the plan changed and I was supposed to bring Emma over - not happening. She finally showed up, Emma was still in bed and I was ready to go... no Lyzzie! I also forgot my car was on E and I was out of milk, so off to the Quik Trip on the way to work. Oh, and Emma woke up with a Morning Surprise rolling out of her pullup. Lovely. Everything turned out ok, but it was quite the hectic morning. I get to work, and am told that my boss might be coming in today, but nobody seems to know - seems she told one person she is, and another that she isn't.


Over the weekend you may remember my car got all wet from a leaky water bottle. I got it all dried out, and lo and behold the car was all wet again yesterday, just under the passenger side front & back. I'm talking SOAKED. I pulled out a pair of socks that must have weighed a pound from all the water. Now I know it was dry, and there are no more water bottles in the car, so this is a mystery. My parents seem to think it's an a/c problem but my dad can't find the line he suspected was leaking. I of course know nothing about a car besides you get in, turn the key and drive. Dad's solution: "I think I found it but I want it to dry out, so don't use your a/c for a couple weeks." Yeah right, not in THIS weather. I just hope he can fix it, I really can't afford car repairs right now. The car does get sluggish in the heat and takes a while to get going, so it really does need to be looked at, but I want it to wait until AFTER WDW!!

Does anyone know where I can buy a memory card for a decent price? I need a new card for my camera that I bought the other day.

 

[DisneyGirl4188]

Lyzziesmom, your car problems sound like mine. My passenger side is also wet and I'm told it is leaking antifreeze (I don't know the exact name of the problem). I'm told it will be $350 to fix, but could be more because some Saturns have a special part that is an extra $50. They have to go in through the glove compartment and may have to blow out the a/c line. I'm suppose to get it fixed in the next couple of weeks, but I am not looking forward to it.

I hope yours isn't the same problem.

buy.com usually has really good deals. I just got 4 SD memory cards (Kingston) for $32.00.

Happy Anniversary Everyone!!!

 

[MI mom of 3]

I love Disney's guest service!!

When we were on our way to OKW from the airport the first day I realized that I had forgotten one suitcase at baggage claim It is a smallish bag that only has 'stuff' in it, no clothes. So when we counted off everyone's bags ( just my family had 7 suitcases!! ) we had them all, or so we thought. This one had all the shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, my make-up All the essentials!!

Blake said that after we got checked in he would run back to the airport and find it. Well, Lesa had a great idea! We asked the manager at OKW if it was possible for Magical Express to get it for me. He said that if I could bring him the luggage claim ticket for that bag they would be happy to!!

When we got back that night it was waiting on the island in the kitchen with a bright green Priority ME tag. They were the best!!

 

[lyzziesmom]

Michele: What a good idea asking ME to get your bag for you! You gotta love Disney customer service, especially after going elsewhere and not getting that level of service you really miss it.

Amber: I hope that's not my car's problem! It doesn't have an oily feel or any color or any kind of smell, it really seems like it's just water. Doesn't antifreeze have a colorant and and a bad smell, to discourage kids from drinking it?

I've got a few pictures from yesterday to share, if y'all don't mind:

Waiting for the parade to start

Emma loves her new sunglasses from the Disney Store! I tried to put them away until our trip so they don't get lost, but she found them.

She was very happy after all the school's bands were done - it's just noise to her.

What's a parade without some candy?

Coming up.... the girls discover sparklers.

 

[DisneyGirl4188]

Lyzziesmom, I never smell anything in my car. The only time I can see a color is when I use paper towels to dry everything up.

The pictures are great!

 

[lyzziesmom]

The girls had never seen sparklers before and didn't really know what to do with them. My mom gets so nervous and stood in the corner ready to either run or toss the girls in the kiddie pool in case they caught themselves on fire. The girls of course had a great time.

Despite all the noise, Emma was very worn out and slept like a baby. Here, she is just pretending, but when I checked on her five minutes later she really was sleeping just like this!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Lyzziesmom- Great pics!

Thanks! It's easy to take great pictures when they are so cute, the hard part is deciding which ones to keep so I don't end up with 10,000 pictures.

I don't think my leak is antifreeze then, because even when we dried it all, it was still clear. It soaked a few books and they didn't have any color on them either. I hope it really is just water! My dad thinks some sort of drain cap came off but he can't find it, he said the same thing happened in his car but it was easy to find.

POZEY - Was Mickey Mantle from Oklahoma?

Morning UnderDog.

Yes, Mickey Mantle is/was from Oklahoma. He was born in a small town called Spavinaw - which is about half an hour to 45 minutes northwest of Tulsa. But he moved to a town called Commerce where he went to school and I think claimed as his hometownl. Commerce is in the very northeast corner of Oklahoma - just north of Miami, Ok (pronounced Mi-am-uh here).

Does anyone know where I can buy a memory card for a decent price? I need a new card for my camera that I bought the other day.

What kind of camera and what kind of card. My camera uses Compact Flash cards.

I have four (4) 1 Gig cards. But I found a 2 Gig card on Ebay for less than $20, so I bid and won it. So, with shipping, it was about $25 for a 2 gig card.

Cute pics lyzziesmom!! (thumb)

I had the camera out to take pictures of the kids doing fireworks last night, but I ended up lighting most of them myself.
