Peek a boo.

Oh, you know....I would love to go to Kennebunkport for vacation.

Next year we are either going to do a "week at Disney" (like every OTHER American family does) so that the boys can experience it just like tourists. :-) OR...we are going to go to Williamsburg, VA for a week. I went there as a child and I remember it so well....I thought it was so cool seeing all those people dressed up. I wanted a sun bonnet like Laura Ingalls had..but alas, my mother wouldn't let me get one. Instead I got a stupid silver bracelet and my brothers got muskets. Do you know that a couple of years ago on my birthday my mother gave me a sunbonnet???? ROFLOL......I never let her forget about that, I guess....hahaha.

#11...What do I do with it?

I get this notice, Checking to see if you ....something to do with a cookie, I think.

I don't like cookies.

But it looks interesting....how do I get through?

[CONSERVE]

Or cook or parachute packer. all of those are there.

Lorena, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about, except mine was in a tiny town in South Carolina (btw, I LOVE South Carolina).....but this town had seen better days, and the place was a pithole, and it was late at night.....

..and well.....

...my kids still laugh about it...UGH

....DJ, Williamsburg is lovely, and quaint.....but as you know, it's not Disney World :))

Okay, I just re-read this "article" about the AOL/Time Warner "miscommunications" deal.

"On Monday, Time Warner spokeswoman Karen Hartley said the company would charge customers $300 for cable boxes destroyed by flooding.

But on Wednesday, President Kevin G. Kidd said the company had decided not to charge customers for the converters.

"There clearly has been a lot of miscommunication on this issue in the last few days," said Kidd, who replaced Navarra Williams as president last week.

Okay, 3 things stick out here and they really don't add up: 1. Kidd just last week replaced Navarra Williams as president, so he'd only been there (at the most) 1 week.
2. On Monday, the SPOKESPERSON announced that they would be charging customers for the boxes.
3. On Wednesday, it says that Kidd had decided not to charge the customers and had set up an "executive response team" who these customers were supposed to call.

Now, are they telling us that they just decided this on Wednesday, or are they telling us that it was already in place before Kidd replaced Navarro, in which case the spokesperson should have known about this policy, or are they just making this whole thing up?

I don't know why I am so stuck on this issue, it just really ticks me off. I think it's called CYA time.

I LOVE Williamsburg. I hope we can get back there again someday. Busch Gardens (amusement park) and Jamestown (more history) are nearby, as you probably already know. I expect kids, being kids, might enjoy that experience more when they're older and would opt for Disneyworld next year. So, who gets the final say?

[Lorena]

I think it's called CYA time.
Me too, definitely! Gotta go get some things done around here. Back later.

[DJ88]

Yes, I know....I don't think we stayed there the whole time....I think we made some other side trips....like to Busch Gardens, etc. All I remember about that part of the trip was the big PINK FLAMINGOS.

We also used to go up to Cape Cod quite a bit when I was young; I don't remember it at all. My parents (don't laugh) were quite the Kennedy fans, and they used to drive by the street they lived on every year...big deal. You will never, ever be able to convince my mother that John F. Kennedy was a womanizer....she had the biggest crush on him. Oh well. ;-) At least she's become a Republican (and I have no idea who helped her with that...) *WINKS*

[DJ88]

"So, who gets the final say?"

Me. :-)

Thanks for the info on spacing the posts, I was thinking along those lines.

OK - - I gotta "rant". I have a bookmark for the Excite homepage that I go to occasionally for weather reports, to see how the stockmarket is, etc. They always have a "poll of the day". Their question (my, my, is their bias slip showing) is: The president is going to Crawford Texas for a month long vacation -- do you think that's too long to be gone?

What???? Like Bush is going to Texas, fergit about our country, and just clear brush, fish, bbq and let the world go to heck in a handcart....

They never asked those kinds of questions when Bubba was spending tens of millions on his junkets, or was mootching off friends at all the "toney" vacation spots for weeks at a time.....

I just want to find a media type person and just punch 'em.....

But, maybe the Bush PR team should start referring to Bush being at the "Texas Whitehouse" instead of being on vacation......(of course, the poll didn't mention that Congress has adjourned as well......no one wants to be around this place in the summer.....it's 98 outside, not a cloud in the sky, and I'm sitting in A/C and still sweating.....On a scale of 1-10 for sun brightness, it's a 20!!!!

</off rant>

You may all return to your regularly scheduled program......

[gulfcoast6]

Did you hear? The FBI wants to put congress type people on the lie detector. Quick, everybody run and buy stock in the companies that make them cause there is going to be a lot of machines broken when they put them on them, a lot of replacements will have to be ordered. If they open their mouth, they lie.

[Lorena]

All those media hacks are more than deserving of a good smack. I think everybody, including Ari Fleischer, is pretty sick of the media's mantra about the President's vacation. No matter what, they are just never going to give President Bush a break on anything. The following is from Wednesday's Press Conference:

"Q Ari, why are you reluctant to say flat out, as you were this morning, that the President is going on vacation next week?

MR. FLEISCHER: The President is going on vacation next week. What I enjoy pointing out to everybody is Presidents are entitled to take vacation. And people in Washington, I suppose, are entitled to take potshots. (Laughter.) And the fact is, I've seen countless stories that call it a month-long vacation. Believe me, I work for him. Would that it were a month-long vacation; I wouldn't mind one.

But, you know, this is part of the silliness of Washington, where President take a look at something that's not a month long. The President, who is going to bring the White House with him to Crawford, who is going to do an awful lot of work down while he's in Crawford, who's going to travel to 12 cities during the 25 days he's there, and when you subtract out all the days the President is traveling or the days that the President is going to welcome foreign leaders to Crawford, or the days that he's going to have an economic forum in Waco, the fact is he's probably going to be down to about two weeks, just like everybody else, like most people.

The fact of the matter is, the President of the United States is entitled to a vacation just like everybody else. Washington is just a silly town sometimes, where people don't let a good man have a vacation without having to make more of it than it is."

Idiots!

big PINK FLAMINGOS. Sounds like the ones my NEIGHBOR just put up in front of his house!! UGH!! Now do you see why I am putting my house on the market?

[A Citizen Reporter]

"KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — President Bush will mark the Sept. 11 terror attacks anniversary by visiting New York, the Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania where United Flight 93 crashed.

``On Sept. 11, America was attacked and the president will be going to the three locations that were hit to continue to rally our nation and to mourn and to pay respects to the memory of those who lost their lives and to their families,'' White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said Friday."
