    IFly Deals?

    I did an Ifly Orlando search online a couple of nights ago. The really good deals had expired already. And the others were only around 5%. Was hoping for better. Florida is the one I was looking at because he lives in GA and we could drive down. If I could get him here, we could drive up to the one in Colorado. I think it's still a SkyVenture, but not sure. I draw the line at the ones in places like Gatlinburg. I went to one once and the fans are puny. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

    Yup. Still in that area. Any clue what the completion date is on the Austin one? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

    IFly Deals?

    Hey everybody...my son is about to be 18 and will be going into the Army after his graduation in May. Many years ago, I promised him a trip to a wind tunnel and I guess it's time to pay up! I always buy my kids a tandem when they turn 18, but I can only afford one thing and I think he'd like the wind tunnel. Anyone know of any deals, preferably for two people, that I can find for the IFLY in Orlando? I'm also going to have to bring my 2 under 10 lb. dogs because I won't have a sitter for them. So I need a pet friendly hotel in the area too. Suggestions? Deals?
  4. I hope you're having a great birthday! Love you!!! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

    Nope. If I was a know-it-all, I would have told you how to spell the word correctly! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

    1. Liars and cheaters. (nuff said on that subject) 2. "Know it alls" (or those that just *think* they know it all) and then proceed to lecture me on the subject when I really couldn't give a rat's ass! 3. Being late. For God's sake, set your clocks fast if you have to...but be there when you're supposed to be! 4. People who blow their nose at the dining table. Get your lazy ass up and go to the bathroom before you blow! 5. "One Uppers." It doesn't matter how good, bad, sick, healthy, poor, rich or lucky you are. They've always been better, worse, sicker, healthier, poorer, richer or luckier. And they have to talk really loud to make sure you know it!

  9. Hiya Billy! How's things in your piece of the world?
  10. I'll come out of my hibernation long enough to say that I checked and I've been around over 10 years now. Back then I was a CRW freak. Then progressed to being a CRW and sex freak. Now I'm just a recluse. Wow...I'm boring now! But just to be exciting one more time, I'm going to use something that Skymama hated!!

  11. I'm getting a new house, so I should be practical and spend it on something for that.
  12. Hope you had a great birthday!
  13. [B]MOO!! That's cow speak for........ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!![/B]
  14. Personally, I probably would've turned down the offer as politely as possible as it does sort of sound like he was hitting on you. I doubt that he meant you any harm... at least not at that particular moment. Any single guy who sees a pretty woman probably wishes they had the guts to do the same thing! As far as doing for others? Remember my "Stop and Smell The Roses" contest? About 20 years ago, I was a single mother with a 3 year old daughter and a deadbeat ex-husband who wouldn't pay child support. I was a waitress and struggled to pay bills and daycare. I can remember taking her to "Long John Silver's" one night. (C'mon folks...don't give me any grief about being broke and going out to eat...I at least had coupons!) There was an older man sitting at a table behind me. He talked to my daughter from there, but kept his distance. When he got up to leave, he walked over to my table. I was a bit concerned, but he leaned over and slid a religious flyer on my table. And then he left. I picked up the flyer and when I did, there was a hundred dollar bill under the flyer! I can remember how thankful I was for that gift and only spending a few dollars here and there of it when I was really desperate. Nowadays, I do quite a bit for others. I've bought for people behind me in drive throughs. I bought groceries for an old couple in front of me at a Walmart who were having to put stuff back because they couldn't afford it. I've given to people I know just because I have and they need it. I have adopted multiple soldiers and send stuff to them on at least a monthly basis. I don't have mega bucks. But my life is very comfortable at this point in my life. If giving up a few dollars here and there brings a smile to someone's face, I say it's money well spent!

    geocaching

    My daughter did it for a while with her six year old daughter. They thought it was fun, but you can use up a good bit of gas trying to hit a lot of them. A friend of mine also did it. He complained about the gas thing too, but seemed to enjoy it for the little while that he did it. I haven't tried it, but I'd like to one day!
  16. "A Fistful Of Charms" by Kim Harrison. Fourth book in the Rachel Morgan series. Witches, Dead and Undead Vampires, Werwolves, Elves, Pixies and Faries. What's not to love if you love fantasy?

  17. My info is more than 5 years old. Scary that it was all true at the time, though. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  18. See? It works. Good job!
  19. That was absolutely the cutest thing! And a great way to start my new year off with a smile. Thanks!
  20. I have three things that I constantly tell my 15 year old son. 1. You are only as good as your word. If you tell someone that you Will/Won't do something, stick to it. If you break your promise, you are reducing your worth in your own eyes as well as someone else's. 2. Broaden your horizons. Do, Read, Watch or Eat something new every day. 3. Say something nice to someone every day. Number three is my challenge to you all. Starting today, make an effort to say something nice to someone every day. And mean it. It doesn't have to be fancy. It can be as simple as, "you have pretty eyes" or "that's a pretty shirt" or "you have a beautiful voice" or "nice car." You can be creative, but you need to mean it. You have no idea how an unexpected compliment, even a simple one can raise someone's spirits (trust me, I know). Not only will you have made them feel good, but you will get your own sense of pride knowing that you helped someone smile. Good luck! Feel free to report back here with your experiences.
  21. I have a Maine Coon also. She weighs around 15 lbs now. Of course, after this photo, I think I saw her packing her kitty pan and toys and plans to run away! Oh...and I agree with the others. Put up some flyers. Surely someone will come and claim it! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
