Just Questions: Can We Make It To The Fourth?

[drummerboy]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehah. And here we are. It's anytown USA and we're starting to pull out the bunting and spruce up the picket fence. Can this yackety crowd keep this thread until July 4th? , I love to make a good joke. But we'll try anyway.

I just got done with a little sprucing in the back yard. We get more leaf fall here in the spring than we do in the fall, but I think the worst of it is over now.

Are we ready for the weekend? I know Jasper is. What else is going on?

Geesh, Ken, I was about to post to the last thread and here you went and close it.

When I saw can we make to the 4th, I was thinking , June 4th, yeah we might be able to make it to then!!!!

I don't post much so my goal is to just get to 100 by the end of the year Can I borrow a few posts from anyone?

Tina, if you hang out with this crowd long enough, you'll have enough post by the end of the month!!!!

Hmmm.. with the cost of gas these days do you think we should switch to a horse drawn wagon?

Di, are you trying to give Ken ideas? If you don't watch out he'll have us all wearing those pioneer dresses.


I'll get the chocolate ravioli recipe on the cooking thread later tonight or tomorrow. I'm in the mood to cook (which in this house is a rarity). I'm making potato salad and macaroni salad, and debating if I want to make something else.

Just adding this back in on the planning front, in case you guys missed my comment on the other page -- and maybe I'm wrong -- but I thought I'd read somewhere that Pop Warner reserves DHS on the Friday night they are at WDW... that would be the Friday night you guys are talking about doing the Osborne lights. Just wanted to put that back out there so you guys could check into it...

Eek, if that is the case then we are going to have to revise our entire itinerary. Thanks for the heads up Blythe, I would hate to have it all set in stone and then have Disney or Pop Warner have DHS closed for us.

Anywho, I'm ready for the holiday weekend too. I have Sunday off which normally doesn't happen on a holiday, but I'll take it no problem. Looks like we will have a nice weekend around these parts, maybe some storms on Monday. We are actually grilling, if you can call using a George Foreman grill on Monday at work for hamburgers. Since we are stuck at work, why not have some comfort food.

Anything else that I missed?

I was thinking of something more in the harness line.

Did somebody mention potato salad?

Guys , Did we leave few lists back at the old thread?

I looked for them, but I need to go to bed now. I went to the Dr and I 'm feeling very sleepy, cause of some meds.

but, b4 I go :Happy Birthday, Harry!

I'm going to quote myself because Blythe really has me thinking about the Lights. I checked the Archive dates for December 2007, 2006 & 2005. For 2005 & 2006 it is indeed a Friday where they close at 7pm, but last year unless it's a typo they closed at 7pm on Wednesday. Do you think that is right? The other days DHS closes at 8pm. When does the December hours come out? In June right?

WOO HOO made it!!

We have to make it until July 4th? Not gonna happen. What's the limit on a thread?

So what's for dinner? I'm making a meatball pizza calzone type thing. Looks and smells good, can't wait. Hope you all have a great evening, I'll try to check in later before I hit the sack.

4th of July?? Maybe 4th of June the way things have been going...

We're not doing too much... yard work, I've got a wedding shower to go to on Saturday and I'm working Sat/Sun nights. But friends are coming over to bbq/picnic with us on Monday, so that'll be fun!!

I'm headed in for OT tonight... gotta love the rain! Lotsa, lotsa babies!

[Nascfan]

Is it unanimous? Do we all agree there's no way this will make it until July 4th? Heck, I don't even think this one will be around long enough for it to make it to my vacation, which, is in only 22 short days!

I didn't know that potato salad would get your attention, Ken!!! What about cookies?

What about just flip-flopping the days - doing CP on Saturday am with DHS Saturday eve at DHS, and doing the mini golf on Friday am - with a possible dinner that evening?
That way those that are going to MVMCP on Thursday evening wouldn't have to get up so early to make the first seating at CP. Just a thought.

Its been a rough week at work. Think good thoughts that things go better tomorrow....and next week....

Not a bad idea! I'm on my way to work, so I'll think about it and see how it matches in with our schedule - what does everyone else think? (Are we the only ones doing MVMCP Thurs night?) Good thinking, T&G!

Here's hoping tomorrow will be a better day for you... sending some your way! Maybe I'll catch you later from babyland...

[pogo]

We will never make it to the fourth of July, will we ?

Here's our input for planning:

Friday: Breakfast at CP / works for us but if we're going to reserve as a group, it will have to be within the first 40 minutes they are open... which also works for us.

Friday evening: Osborne Lights

Saturday: 11:00 AM Mini Golf w/ pint to follow / could that be a bit earlier?? Like 10:00 am? Also, pints aren't exactly kid-friendly but don't let us hold you back

Saturday evening: Dinner / may I suggest dinner someplace at EPCOT (but not China or Morocco), how about Garden Grill so we can get a character meal together? That way we can go see IllumiNations together (the holiday version is wonderful).

Hey..... we love the Garden Grill and staying for IllumiNations together sounds great !

[offwego]

Hi all, I figured the new laptop should geert used Sat or Friday am for CP works for us, I'm fairly sure talking DH into Garden Grill may not work for me as the menu doesn't really work for him.

Did anyone see Grey's? Happy B-Day Harry double digits sure is fun isn't it Jenn? And happy milestones to Deb & Pogo.

Is there coffee left? Did the comic have shoes or just called shoes?

I think Mary said she was doing MVMCP on Thursday. As for us - we have no confirmed anything yet - so who knows.
Has everyone else already bought their air tickets before the prices go through the roof from the fuel cost?

Pogo - you really cheered me up this evening - thanks!

And happy milestones to Deb & Pogo.

Thanks Natalie !

Was it the last line of the PM ???????

Who wants to go to work for me tomorrow? I promise I'll take one of your days for you another time!

[drummerboy]

I didn't know that potato salad would get your attention, Ken!!!* What about cookies?

Oh man, pair potato salad (at least the way DW makes it) with tollhouse cookies and I'm a happy boy.

* Did the comic have shoes or just called shoes?

Actually the comic is called 'Shoe'* (I believe it was named after a newspaper editor named Shoemaker, who retired to a town near where I am but who died a couple of years ago).* The character in the strip is reading about a sports team called the Possums that does really well at home but "gets killed on the road".* Anybody else think we should bronze that one for Alex?

Do you like coffee that much ??????

I'd work for you tomorrow but I'm playing golf.

See you all in the morning....nitey, nite....

[Beast_fanatic]

Did you know that you can quote posts from other threads?

Emily and Rhonda, I've added the recipe to the cooking thread.!!

Thanks! It sounds delicious! And, so many variations too!

Flu seems to have left our home -- and yesterday my firstborn turned the big 1-0! He's such a terrific kid!

Congrats on the flu moving out, and Happy Birthday Harry! Hope you had a great 10th birthday!

Friday: Breakfast at CP.

Friday evening: Osbourne Lights

Saturday: 11:00 AM Mini Golf w/ pint to follow.

Saturday evening: Dinner

As I said last night, we're pretty flexible, so this or the flip would work for us.

Rhonda and Robert are picky...so do you 2 have any specific suggestions?

Nope. We like 'Ohana although we did have very bad service there last year and we weren't planning to go this year, but we would go with others if that's what we decide.

(Anyone know a good counter fitter?)

Have you asked at Home Depot or Lowe's?

I stopped looking at the fireworks cruises because I was under the impression that people thought they were too $$$. BTW, you don't need to be a GG group to book one. However, GG does have other perks that we might want to look at (like a site for group planning). Question in case someone knows the answer off-hand, are DVC reservations included in the count?

I don't know if DVC is included in the count or not. The 2 of us would likely be interested in the fireworks cruise if we get enough people. I've always wanted to do one, but it's pretty pricey for just the 2 of us. My only concern is that it would be cold on the water.

When does the December hours come out? In June right?

Well, that's up for a little debate since they haven't released the November hours yet.
