[donaldtoo]

We interrupt your regularly scheduled thread with a sales report...
Just sold a scarf and a pullover sport shirt...!!!!!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread...

 

[donaldtoo]

Yeah, and this system I'm building is to replace the failing one I'm using right now. I cant wait until AFTER the christmas hours. I need those free days to build this thing and install all the stuff I use for work x_x

Sympathy like.

 

[donaldtoo]

From what I have been reading your kid can sure keep things interesting.
Washed your hands yet?

Indeed! Our oldest was just a little beyond 3-years-old when we had our youngest of 3. Like tryin' to herd cats, I tell ya'...!!!!!

Wow. The mall is really dead. Almost 9 years ago when I first started workin' here at the Disney Store and other places, it was always pretty packed during all of December, even on weeknights. Kinda' sad, actually.

 

[donaldtoo]

The mall used to be the place to go. No longer. Yes it is sad.

Oh boy! Christmas should be fun! At least I will be at Disney.

Yeah. Worth it but come on. Upwards of an hour to Tap to enter Epcot? Studios are still a half day park at best so getting in isn’t an issue AK so many guests just heading to Pandora and out So for the moment only Epcot is a major pain in Tushie.

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm right there with you. We most likely won't be going much of anywhere for the next 4 years.

Sympathy like.

That's gotta be one very large pie!! I guess the heat from the pie would really warm up your muscles though... like a hot tub!

Peach cobbler in a VERY large Dutch Oven...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

I learnt something new today.

I didded too!

 

[donaldtoo]

My husband makes fun of me because I pronounce the g at the end of words. Like going doesn't sound like goin' from me,... its more like goin-ga

Hahaaa...!
I post words like runnin', doin', goin', livin', etc., all the time...might as well just post the "g", right...?!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, out for tonight...!
Sweet Disney dreams and/or mornin' to all...!!!
See y'alllllllllll...!!!!!

I'm really looking forward to trying the Fire Nog!!

I like the sound of it but I have never had eggnog, not sure if I like it.

I agree with you. At my workplace it's great though--they use WORK TIME (around lunch, midday) on a weekday, and about 50 of us are taken to a local restaurant. (I really put on the feed bag, too!! ) It's a huge buffet and people just pile up their plates and sit with anyone at large tables. There's no pretense--people just have a good time and chow down on free food!!

Now that is my type of celebration! Getting paid and free food

Well friends, hubs dr. appointment for his ankle went pretty well. The bone isn't fully healed but is at the point in which the dr thought it should be. Hubs still can't drive. Incrementally he can start putting weight on it, 25% this week and building up to 100% in 4 weeks. So we will NOT be travelling to see his family this Christmas. He texted them and told them, and has only heard back from his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law's response is that we should fly to Chicago. He tried convincing my hubs a couple times. He even tried to convince him by saying that he would give up one of the full sized bed so we wouldn't have to stay in a hotel. Problem is the bedroom are all up a steep set of stairs, hubs can't even go up our stairs! But there was no response to hubs' invitation for them all to come up here.

So I think it will be a Merry Christmas for me this year!

I am sorry your husband's ankle hasn't healed as much as expected but I am happy you get to stay home for Christmas this year. I hope the in laws won't give you too much grief about it.
I understand they might be disappointed but I don't understand why they would try and make you feel bad.
My oldest brother usually goes skiing over Christmas with his family. Of course I miss them but it is often the only time of year that they can go and they absolutely love it, so I wish them a nice time and that's the end of it. He has invited me along but I don't like to ski.

Alright, everyone has an opinion, and I am actually looking for some. As some of you may know, my DS is a music major at college. One of his trumpet teachers was asking him what his plans over break was, and he said he was headed to WDW. Teacher asks when. Long story short, so now DS has been in contact with one of the percussionists for Candlelight. As an aside, she also did the percussion for Little Mermaid, and her husband is also a percussionist for Candlelight. DS told me at her suggestion, we should do a dinner package. He is more interested in the music, than the story. I would rather not spend that much time with it on a short trip. But, now, I don't know. Do I do it, or tell him sound carries?

Personally I would do the dining package, the lines for Candlelight get crazy long for stand by and you don't want to spend half your day waiting in line. I do think it is a must see if you like music and Christmas.

Since my appointment was at 8:20 a.m, and the medical building where I see her states their hours are 8 am to 7 pm, I figured I was one of her very first appointment's of the day. As I was sitting there, a few people came in without appointments, and were looking for orders for bloodwork. I noticed they were attended to before me, which really annoyed me. However, I waited patiently. I did ask the nurse why I had to wait so long, but that question was not addressed. My blood draw in the lab only took a few minutes, so I was thrilled about that. I did feel like my doctor rushed my appointment today, and she normally doesn't do that. it just wasn't my normal experience.

Let's hope it was a one time thing, everyone has off days perhaps yesterday was your doctor's.

Loving the retro card

Sympathy like.

It got delivered yesterday and I finally assembled the box today.

Funny thing is, the vendor is confused. Because he supposedly was to SHIP the box TOMORROW to get it the 20th of this month.

So someone sent it before he knew...
Because it has the name of HIS store and HIS own name.


regardless, I'm destroyed body wise atm. this thing weights good 10 kilos, plus the computer, fans, gaming video card.. and the monstrous
heatsink..
This thing probably weights 25 to 30Kilos.

Heres my equipment before it went into the box case. I had to test everything this way to ensure it worked.
And so far it behaves beautifully.


Funny thing is, everything happens in my life AT SAME TIME.

My boss was on vacations on the weekend.. and suddenly I got a huge influx of requests on Sunday late night, monday my boss arrived and so did the Box for the computer.
So I have been rushing to fulfill the things that needed to be done part by part.
It took me a few hours to insert everything correctly.

Sure. Is it ok if we hit EPCOT first? I am tired of adulting, but an adult beverage sounds good.

Last night I was up until after midnight and had to get up and cook food to pack for the guys to take with them today. One of each please
