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?
Here is the link and a quotation of the offer:
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!

Paula (if I don't say this J.R. or Tom will)........so what happens when you take an earlier flight? do you just keep going around in circles?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.
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.

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!

I think I would stick with the late ones......
Anyway my point is that I think we all feel like that from time to time.
Pamela-Can't wait to hear about your adventures. I sometimes feel invisible too. I think it is just that so much is going on and although people are interested they just do not respond. I know personally after reading numerous pages I forget what all I wanted to respond to........a good example is I have been meaning to tell Brack that I am so sorry that JoJo is not feeling well. I hope the aches and pains get better. ........I just honestly forgot. Sorry Brack!!!!!!
I think we all feel that way sometimes. Sometimes I feel like an outsider too. Sometimes I feel like I am going to seize when they start running formulas and numbers......Sometimes I even feel like I have got to be the only one not going to Europe. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one without a tattoo around here. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one sober at chat.
), and I have a libation or 2 in chat, but I bet I could pass a field sobriety test!
and prayers
Looks like it would be well worth the purchase of $375 of Dockers. May work out perfectly for a November trip tp WDW or Las Vegas. Thanks, Tom
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 helland 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...
Hey everybody - somebody probably has posted but take at look at my siggie line?
I think I'm within guidelines - ok - don't laugh ok - but I calculated bytes and it looks like I'm in - but I'm a techno-phobic.
You all like?
Is your DISboard Signature Legal?
In order to keep the DISboards both friendly and efficient, there are guidelines users are to follow when developing their signatures. Many users are unaware of the guidelines and unknowingly create signatures that in many cases exceed the guidelines.
NOW is the time to check your signature and make certain you're legal.
While we send out notices to those users who have signatures that do not meet guidelines, this is time consuming for the moderators and Tech Support volunteers on these boards. In some cases when a user does not correct a signature, it is necessary for us to delete their signature entirely. This can be unfortunate if someone has put a lot of effort into creating their signature.
The MAIN violations we commonly find are listed below:
1. No more than three images are allowed. All of the following each count as an image: (1) A photo, (2) A Clipart, (3) A Countdown, (4) A 'sparkly' signature, (5) Any non DISboard smilie, (6) Eggs. Note also that WISH images each count toward the maximum of three images allowed.
Thus if you have a sparkly signature line, 2 photos, 3 countdowns, 2 eggs, and 1 WISH, your total image count is 9, or triple the allowed number.
Remember, if you add any type of Holiday decorations to your signature, it all counts toward 3-image maximum.
------------------------------------------------------------
2. No single image may exceed 550 pixels in width nor 200 pixels in height. The old standard was that all images combined must fit within a single 400x400 square. This was changed earlier this year to the current requirement. If you have a signature developed to the old requirements, you need to fix it to meet the current requirements.
The most common item we find are users with an image that is greater than the allowed 200 pixel maximum height requirement. Be sure you check ALL your images in your signature to be sure none of them exceeds 200 pixels tall.
------------------------------------------------------------
3. The TOTAL filespace of all your images combined must not exceed 50KB. (That's 51,200 bytes).
One item we commonly find are uses of animated gifs which can have very large filesizes. If you have an animated gif such as a sparkly signature, or other 'moving' image, be sure you add up all the filesizes for all images. If you have highly detailed photos, it's also easy to exceed the 50KB combined filespace limit.
------------------------------------------------------------
4. The TOTAL number of lines in your signature may not exceed 12. All of the following count as a line: (1) a line of text, (2) a blank line, (3) an image of any kind on it's own line (such as photo, countdown, smilie, egg, etc), (4) any type of spacer such as a dashed line.
The most common item we find here are users with a long vertical list of their WDW trips. Instead of putting all these on separate lines, one on top of the other, it's suggested you put them on one horizontal line going across the page. Many users do this and differentiate the trips by using different colors, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The above items are not all inclusive. There are other signature requirements. You can see the full Signataure Guidelines with samples by clicking HERE . This also gives you an explanation on why the guidelines are important.
If you don't know if your photo, countdown, etc meets guidelines, you can look at your signature in one of your posts, and right-click directly on the image, and from the drop-down menu, select PROPERTIES. The image's properties will show. There you can get both it's filesize and it's dimensions ( Width x Height). If the height dimension is greater than 200 your image does not meet guidelines.
If you add up the filesizes of all your images, and the total exceeds 51,200 bytes, then you do not meet guidelines.
You can see a typical Properties screen in the example below.

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?
