Stupid Guest Tricks

I drank green tea with my dinner one evening. Didn't know it had caffeine. I was awake until 3 am!

When will ktulu and family be at the DLR. The answer is...

Oct 11-19 we will be in SoCal. When we arrive, we will hit DLR for a bit. Originally POTC was going down for refurb, but that had changed the last time I looked at the DL calendar, and we were going to ride it like 50 times since it is one of our favorites (my 3 year old loves it!). I am going to be attending NANOG in LA from Oct 12-15, then we go back down to Anaheim from Oct 15-19. We'd love to get together with peeps! I was telling my wife that there were some CM's that I *have* to get to their area and at least say hi since the last two trips I missed them.

Susi, if you and Ralphie can come you can spoil away ;)

Right now the only plan we have is a character breakfast and the halloween party, if I get off my butt and buy tickets. I think we are looking at the one on the 16th or 17th, whichever has the discounted tickets for the Disney Visa holders.

I think it would be AWESOME to get a DLR meet going. If only we could get our favorite CM's from WDW to come out to the BEST Disney park it would be really cool!

We can either start a new thread, or use this one:

If an admin could change the subject to something more descriptive ;)

Cool This could be lotsa fun! So I will talk to Ralphie bout the dates, we plan to visit the folks and of course Santa Cruz as usual and then head down to DL for the grand finale of the vacation. So we can plan to be at DL when you are. Oh now I am getting excited for the next trip!
We can start to get a list together of those who could possible make it and be there! Let's do that at your thread. We can decide where we want to eat, (I vote for Blue Bayou! then off to POTC!) and meet!
YAY! It could come together nicely....
hobie, are you gonna fly in from the islands? :p:
Yeah it would be great to get the WDW CMs to the BEST Disney Park! hehehehe

Now how does it feel, especially if your feet normally sweat?

(any side effects?)

[font="Palatino Linotype"]no side effects...that i know of...your tootsies just stay dry elimating the friction that causes blisters...i've tried using the stick stuff on my feet...kinda squishy and slippery...it didn't feel great, but it worked...the spray works better for feet...it's dry...just be sure to use it on any part that the shoe may rub (and wish me luck cuz my last pair of dl shoes broke not long after we got there last tuesday ...so i'll be wearing new ones on friday [i get to take my granddaughter along with a friend of mine and her granddaughter...both girls are in their early teens...hmmmm...maybe i should ask for luck with the girls instead of my new shoes ]) [/font]

WRT the weight loss tangent... I'm a lazy butt... pretty much the only exercise I get is on stage in theater. But I just bought the Wii Fit, (21 days ago, as it tells me each day how long I've been using it,) and I love the thing. The board can take anyone up to 350 pounds and the Step Aerobics in it are great, it's like... step aerobics meets Dance Dance Revolution. Or the virtual hula hoop, where you try to get more hula rotations than you had last time. Also you can unlock a kickboxy type thing.

It also weighs you really accurately, and plots it on a line graph for ease of referance. The only trouble I've seen is it tells you via old fashioned BMI calculations if you are Underweight, Normal, Overweight or Obese, which offends my roommate, because she has a high muscle mass that throws the readings and makes her come out nearly Obese. It plays a little musical riff that sounds like something for circus clowns if you're in the "overweight" section... I guess the idea is to encourage you to get out, but it can be discouraging. She's ignoring it tho, and concentrating on making the line on her weight graph go down toward her goal line (you set the goal and time to complete it, yourself.) And the clown music is working as intended on my SO... he just gets more determined to get out of the overweight section. I'm in the normal range, (don't hurt me!) so I don't have that issue. It just encourages me to move toward the middle of normal.

But if you have a Wii... the Wii Fit is great, because once you get good at the step aerobics part you can unlock "Free Step" with which you can take a half hour long power walk, in your house, while watching TV (the controller plays a metronome noise to which you step on and off the board, letting you switch the TV channel off the game to watch a show.) The strength and yoga exercises are pretty nifty too, but I think the "Balance Games" like snowboard slalom, that are all controlled by leaning, are more fun than helpful workout wise.

Warning: If you are 6 foot tall or more, do not do the yoga under a ceiling fan.

Yeah,when I saw that Wii fit, I thought I WANT that! Still gotta get it. Of course we don't have a Wii yet, so gotta get that too if I want to do Wii fit.
Oh well, Christmas is coming! :D:

Yeah, Wii Fit is fun. Oh, and it holds up to 330 pounds, at least that is what mine says. Mine is going to yell at me, it has been a while since I've been on it :(

I tend to avoid standing under ceiling fans to begin with. The majority of them are to close to my head for comfort.
