Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[AuburnJen92]

I agree with Rhonda...not campers...

I also agree that it was very rude, because everyone knows that they all discussed it at length before they got there. I would have said no tent, no go. But, that is just me...

 

[Millermouseketeers]

Good luck and I hope you have fun in spite of the bad parental decision.

There's just no figuring out some people. I hope it doesn't ruin the weekend for the rest of you.

Al just sent me a text message saying that Harps is good. DOH...does that surprise anyone here???

I knew my fellow campers would understand Many people call me overprotective too and I'd rather be safe than sorry in most cases. But I just think this could've been handled differently.

My 14 yr old dd offered to sleep in my 12 yr old dd's bunk so that the 12 yr old and her BFF can have the pull out couch We set up the tent anyway and it will serve as a changing room/storage space if nothing else.

It is HOT here !! And my first impressions of Mohican Adventures is not all that great. Our site is bumpy gravel and pretty narrow. The firepit is right next to the road and there is a big electrical box at the back of the site. We will make the best of it though as we do when life throws these curves at us.

Maybe after a couple of hours in the pool everything will look better !! If not it will be a long 8 nights !!

Anheuser Busch bought out for 52 billion. Is this true?

Yes. They agreed to the buyout by InBev. InBev owns quite a few other brands, http://www.inbev.com/pdf/AR07_GuideBusiness.pdf.

Now if they could only get rid of all the fillers in Bud and make a real beer.

HOWDY, Frank!!

I have to go in to the office later today m'self & then run the sound system at church for a wedding (to which I wasn't invited). Oh, the joys of being a church administrator!! I gave my Pastor a gentle ribbing about being expected to do the behind the scenes work for the wedding, even though it's technically not part of my job. People just assume that the Pastor & his secretary are always on the job for them. Oh well...that's what they pay me the "big bucks" for. (yeah...right)!!

Hold on to your wallets, folks!! CNN business news quoted economists as saying the economy will continue to worsen until late 2009 & then should start to turn upward. How much more can we take???

 

[clkelley]

Morning all!! Still hangin in there. I have been reading, but can't sit up too long to type much.

We've set up the laptop on a little table next to the bed so I can surf and watch DVDs, but using the keyboard for more than a few minutes is frustrating.

I can tell each day is getting better though.

Good to "see" you here today, Carol! Me thinks they made an incision???
I'm just glad to hear that little by little, you're getting stronger. Hang in there. Drugs are friends, not foe!!

 

[Millermouseketeers]

Keep on getting better, Carol!

Not much......but its good to know they are expecting things to lighten up by 2009! I was thinking this is IT!!! Things are pretty dim, and getting worse....but as long as their may be a light at the end of this hellacious tunnel, I guess I'll have to hang in there.

Morning all!! Still hangin in there.....I can tell each day is getting better though.

Glad you're improving, Carol...wont be any time before youre up & at 'em and making us all jealous of your organization skills and killer site set ups again!!!

I have always enjoyed a hot tub till someone called it "human stew" and pointed out the "germ factor" . Thanks John. Guess I'll bring my own chlorine tablets from now on.

 

[Shannone1]

I am ready to go home !! LOL.

High today is going to be around 90 and it is VERY humid !! The kids are all whining about the heat. The indoor pool is fairly small and the chlorine smell was killing us last night. The kids have to be 16 to go up there alone and I am not going to sit up there with them all day. My eyes were burning last night after an hour !! I told them they have to suck it up...the heat isn't going away. They can go bike riding, to the 3 playgrounds, hiking, hang out with their friends, etc. I will take them to the pool this afternoon for awhile.

Thursday morning (day before we left) my 7 yr old son woke us up at 5:30am because he threw up in his bed. Ewww. Had to completely wash everything and didn't get much sleep after that. He said he was better, but continued getting sick now and then all afternoon. Never had a fever or felt bad. By that night he ate a normal dinner and has been fine ever since.

Now we are at the campground and my oldest 14DD woke up throwing up this morning. Great She does NOT handle being sick well and has been moaning and groaning LOUDLY all morning. She has an upset stomach and cramps. No fever. Not fun to be trapped in a motorhome with 6 people and someone who is in the bathroom every 10 minutes.

The other three families are all checking in about 5:00 and I am hoping this is as short lived in her as it was for my son so we can all enjoy our week together.

Sick kids are no fun, in more ways than one.

LOL - we call it "people soup". We never go into public hot tubs (resorts or cruise ships), but if they're smaller, and not used by as many people, I don't mind as much.

Yeah, I'm going to think about that every time I get in one now. Chlorine can be a good thing! I think Amanda's is in a house....so not as many people using it!

 

[clkelley]

Anybody up?? I think my days and nights are mixed up.

Sounds like an "interesting" camping trip Shannone. Those classic buses look cool.

As far as a hot tub, I think any kind of tub would feel good right now, but I can't for awhile.

It's 4 in the am, go to bed.
