If the guys who pick up your trash are anything like mine, you better have your family call ahead and give them a heads up there is a bulk pickup coming :D:

But we passed up vacation this year to save up for a new kitchen. My oven is only 15 inches wide and I can't put a regular cookie sheet in there. I am sooo tired of working with an easy bake oven.
We will be in Orlando in March to visit WDW but the next bit of fireworks we will be doing will actually be for Fleet Week in the San Francisco bay on Oct. 10th.
Too bad ... i hear that the show WDW is going to put on for the APA folks is bigger than anything we've ever done before.

It'd only be fun though if that could be your last living act :)

If I was still alive I'd want to do it in a fire engine. Hook and ladder preferred.

With sirens going!
I'd want to do it in some sort of disc shaped object, just to see how far I could skip.

We've decided that's what we plan to do too. (Go out with a bang!)

Yep. And I think the cannon was shaped like a fist if I remember that right.

yep, thompson had it designed years before he died...if you can find it (or see it on cable/satellite) there's a documentary called "buy the ticket, take the ride"...it's a pretty good one[/font]
