Love the new avatar! But please don't equate me with chopped liver - yuck!

Oh Lorri I was giving M a hard time. You are important too. I just have to stand behind the head PIP.....MR has to be herself or chat would not be chat......

IIRC a couple of you here are daycare providers? I gotta know if I'm overreacting or what...

DW called and told me about the latest visit to the Y. Our Y offers 2 free hours of Child Watch which is nice because we don't have a babysitter as of yet. (One advertised on CraigsList and she's in our development but that's a story for later). Anyway, she went to sign DS in and the lady said he can go join the 2-year old group. Evidently he's not a baby anymore and can play with the big kids. The main difference is they have more structured activities but he could still hang out in the baby area.

So DW put him over there and asked the lady to please put his hat on him should he go outside. Yes, he'll probably take it off but he's pretty good about wearing it. She said no problem. Well she left and didn't pass the word to the next girl who came in. Yeah, you know where this is going...DW said a lady came up to her and asked if she is "Nathan's Mommy"--yes, that's her name now --and that she should go check on him. Well he was outside and when the girl went to bring him in...he was red as a beet!!!!

Not only that but he was sopping wet from sweat and his diaper was about 5 pounds (not dirty, just wet)!!!! The girl sloughed it off saying he must have been playing hard...

Well the mommy behind DW demanded to see her tow headed child and she was just as bad or worse! Well she started to raise holy hell

and I guess there's going to be a big pow wow tomorrow. Turns out the lady who normally runs that side wasn't in that day so I don't know if this was lack of training or what.

DS if feeling fine now...he had sunscreen on, sucked down his entire sippy cup in about 2 seconds and DW says he only has a little sunburn on his cheeks. Not sure how that other little girl will fare because she didn't have sunscreen on...

Hopefully this was a one time incident and they get their act together.

Kind of caught up and finished downloading pictures from yesterdays trip to Disneyland. Was walking by this and thought of Judy and chat and had to take a picture.

Does anyone here play VMK?

Good Evening Everyone!

Thanks for all your welcome homes for Taryn. We actually didn't get home from picking her up until 1:45 am! She hops in the car and announces "Tomorrow is an excused absence" Yeah, well, where is mine and your father's excused absence haaaa??? Got to bed at 2, fell asleep at 3 and the alarm went off at 5:30. Needless to say, it was a stellar Monday for DH and me. Taryn however, slept in til 11 and lunched with friends. STs YOU GOTTA LOVE EM!!! I am glad she's home safe and sound and very delighted that she had such an awesome time with her great buds. They are all going to different colleges and this was a last hurrah of sorts which is kind of sad..........

I had to have dinner now and still need to catch up some more, but I have decided that this Friday in chat I will definitely be the grand dame of manners and decorum. I swear you will not recognize me! Then the following week I'll go back to being my uncouth self

You all did have a late evening. Everytime we have taken a later flight out of MCO we always arrive. Glad she is back in the nest.

First let me start with the new Finding Nemo Submarine ride. It offically opens next Monday, but they had the subs out running yesterday (no one on them) but it was exciting seeing them again. They even have a bouy seen here with seagulls and "Mine, Mine, Mine".

Looks like it will be fun. I can't wait to head back to DL next August.

 

[PBader]

What WIND post? WHat are ya talkin' about??? Over where exactly? CAn I collect any ROYALTIES? WHo shall I have my booking agent contact for the negotiation?

 

[O'BWV]

Wow I had a little dinner sat down at the computer and immediately had me a little nap! If I didn't know any better I'd think I was turning into the old people I work for


Okay now I will try and ketchup again!

 

[PBader]

What a wonderful place! I have been a long time fan of Tom Sawyers Island and was not thrilled when the change was announced. They did a great job with the conversion of the island to a pirate theme. The main area (where fantasmic takes place) which was never anything special has now transformed into Lafitte's Tavern. You still can't go inside but a great feel for a staging area for the pirate show.

I am betting next August this area will be over run with us pirates.

Now we have already discussed that you are not middle aged, so don't go comparing yourself with the old geezers.

Thanks guys, but you know that know matter what I say I always gotta let the FF Fly

What a blast from the past! We use to have DUnkirk and when we moved it was AVenue. Then we moved in the house with AV my parents had to call to get a regular line. It was a party line still in 1972! And we got our first push button phone.

I was BUckminster and my DGM was DEwey. Once in a while the lines would get crossed and we would listen in

Like the new med Banner, Disser-formerCPer -made it for our Med cruise, really great.

It's Cool!

For all the people who are confused by math and statistics:

"I was reading an article today where it said 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese.

There are five people in my family.

I wonder which one is Chinese?"

At a computer software training course, a group of computer programmers were asked "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your company's software was responsible for the flight control software, how many of you would remain onboard?"

One man raised his hand. The instructor asked him why he would be willing to stay on board.

"Well, with my company's software, it's highly unlikely the plane would be able to taxi to the runway, let alone take off".

Just don't post this again next August!

Oh Lisa.......we have MUCH better BBQ here than that. My favorite being from Texas is a place called Cecils Tx BBQ.....wonderful.......we always use them to cater parties. We won't go near a Sonny's.

I don't like Sonnys either.Always wanted to try Cecils.

Does anyone play VMK?

Actually my grandkids all have players. They haven't been on it for a long time. They got tired of trying to find all the codes.

 

[FINCANTIERI]

I have a question. How old do you have to be before people will say "He/she died of old age"?

[The FairyGodmother]

Did you guys hear about the 3 soldiers that were captured in Iraq and the video that was released that claims they were murdered? This hits close to home for us. The stepfather of Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, is a member of our choir at church. I have never met Byron but I know his stepdad from my years in the choir. Please keep this family in your prayers as well as the family of the other two boys.

OK...

I still don't know what to make of this deal... but here it is. If you buy $125 worth of MENS Dockers at JC Pennys by saturday (6/3 to 6/9 only) ... then you'll get a free round trip flight good to Boston, New York City, Washington D.C., Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, Orlando, or Dallas from a very large selection of cities! IE... the list of departure cities in Califonrina spans 13 cities including Bakersfield, CA; Chico, CA; Fresno, CA; Long Beach, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Oakland, CA; Orange County, CA; Palm Springs, CA; Sacramento, CA; San Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; San Jose, CA; San Luis Obispo, CA..


I am still evaluating this but my spouse is HOT for this deal ... and she wants to run over to JC Pennys' soon to evaluate this. I'll see if I can't get her to come on line to chat when she's back from her walk in the neighborhood.

Tell me what you think.... I believe we're gonna buy $500 of stuff and use 2 addresses to get 4 tix. I kno... we're nuts!

In the quoted terms of the deal below I highlighted lines for special attention - such as ONE POTENTIAL TRAP... where they reserve the right to SUBSTITUTE the offer with something else IF they run out of airline vouchers. What can the substitute which I would have $300+ of interest in? Or rather $1200 since we are thinking of going for 4 tix with 2 addresses?

Sorry O'blender. Even Mark knows of your exploits!

I didn't even have to tell him anything. He saw it all with his own eyes.

Monica I like Mark already


Please tell him I said that, and also, that I am a nice, church-going, conservative middle-aged woman. Thank you.

 

[O'BWV]

You could be right, not sure what the director was looking for. It broke my heart to see her cry, but I know you don't always get what you want in life. It's better for her to learn that early in life, so when other things happen later she will be able to handle them. Besides, I always feel better after a good cry.

Tina I am sorry about your DD's disappointment. I agree with you wholeheartedly though. It's better to learn early that life isn't always a bowl of cherries. Still is it human to want to scoop our kids up and make everything okay for them. Glad she's sticking with it too!


Oh and I'm sorry the I called you middle-aged Pal! Forgive me?

Hi Everyone!

Well.... I think I may be invisible, but I figured I'd stop by and wave goodbye

DS8 and I will fly down to WDW tomorrow. DH left on Sunday and is at the TechEd conference down there. I just about have stuff packed and decided to take a little break and check in here on the board.

I've totally given up on trying to "ketchup". When I have a little time I stop by and read the last 5-10 pages, but since that is usually only a couple times per week, I am missing TONS of stuff.

Of course, when we are at WDW it about the best I can do to keep up with email and I probably won't make it onto the DIS at all. If I get a chance, I'll hop on and say "hi" from there.

I usually have trouble sleeping the night before a trip. I also usually have trouble sleeping when DH is away. Sooooo, I may be back later tonight!
