Well my hubby was more Ian-like and I've been free of him for many years, but I certainly appreciate hearing about the good guys, so probably that did pull us away from ol' Ian.

Obligatory on topic..

"Teri, COME"

Hoo-Rah!!

"Don't berate me!"


(ooooh... Cutie Pie Anderson Cooper is on CNN.. gotta concentrate)

Tabby, Pamy, mine is retarded from the army. So all branches are now accounted for.LOL

That Ian would have made one heck of a drill sergeant.

Speaking of Military people....if you live in Calif, you can go to Knotts berry farm for free until 11-24.

okay, it's free for hubby and me and we could get discounted tix for the kids (who are older than 11) at food 4 less. i sure wish i had known earlier--this would have been a great weekend to go. next weekend will be full of things to do and we already promised help to habitat for humanity for saturday, and need to get ready for company for thanksgiving. next year, i'm looking earlier! (i thought it was closer than disneyland, but it's about the same, so maybe as much as 5 hours from here.)

Sorry I didn't post it sooner, Tabby, I just found out last week. Yes it is only about 15 min from Disneyland. I also found out that Knotts does this every year at this time, so you can plan a trip here next Nov. Also there is a Radisson hotel across from Knotts and they give military rates of 69 a nite, not bad for that hotel and location.

Isn't it Knotts or Magic Mountain that during December if you take a new, unwrapped toy for toys for tots you get in for free.

Pamy, you're 15 minutes from Disneyland??? Woo hoo, that must be fun! I'm a big kid at heart and look forward to our annual trip every year, LOL.

We'll be down December 11th with our huge group of family and friends and I just can't wait, LOL.

War..I meant to say Knotts is 15 min from Disneyland, I am about 40 minutes from both, but I workand grew up about 15 min from them. I think you are right about the unwrapped toy, I think it was Magic Mountain.

that's okay, pamy, and now i know to check next fall. it would be a good (although crowded) place for veteran's weekend, as they now have the monday off again...for a while they went back to the 11th itself, now are back to a 3-day weekend here.
you do get a good deal on disneyland, don't you? i know there are certain zip codes that get a 'local' rate. we are over by a couple of numbers...but we go every few years. i like disneyland 100 times better than california adventure, and so do my kids. (although my son could have lived at the espn zone in downtown disney between the 2 parks! he spent about half an hour in the bathroom, because each stall has it's own tv screen!)
oh, last summer, my husband was in alaska fishing. i took the motorhome and the kids to disneyland for 4 days. i am terrified of most rides (i love peter pan and dumbo and the haunted house! lol) but my kids finally got me on splash mountain...and the damn camera was broken for our ride, so i couldn't even prove to my husband i had gone on it! the people at the park offered to let me go to the front of the line and ride again, but i said, 'not on your life!' and the kids won't tell my husband i really did ride it! the splash into the fog and huge antlers or tree trunks or whatever they are that look as if they will impale you, but no one will see you die because of the heavy mist...too much for me! i wanted to climb out and sit with the chipmunks and other stuffed animals on the la-de-da parts of the ride! the most wild ride i like is the pirates of the caribbean--i love the drops there--however, i don't recommend breast-feeding when those drops come along! we took our kids the first time when our daughter was 11 weeks old.... lololol

ian teri, ian teri....

Wargod, it is Magic Mountain that does the Toys for Tots drive every year. I prefer Disneyland though. I grew up about 20 minutes away from Disneyland and its still my favorite place on earth even though I live about an hour away now. Still go every chance we get! Have fun on your trip this year!
Pamy, I grew up in Westminster. Did you grow up close to there?
Ian needs some anger management classes!

I wasn't sure which it was. Since having kids, we've been to Magic Mountain (without them!) once. I'm only about 90 minutes from Disneyland, about 45 from Magic Mountain. I just can't help it....I love the rides, love the characters, love the make beileive!!

What can I say about Ian? Uhm, he seems high a little high strung.

Cjr

Monday, November 18, 2002 - 03:19 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yes, high strung is the right term lol. I don't care much for Magic Mountain. I ride a few of the roller coasters and then I am bored stiff there.
But Disneyland, I never get bored. I'm with you. The characters are cute and fun and I have to go on It's a Small World when we get there so I can drive everyone nutty by humming it the rest of the day!
Maybe that's what Teri and Ian need, a day at Disneyland lol.

Tabby..they now have a pass that you can buy that gets you into both Calif Adventure and Disneyland, I think it is about 50.00. I am lucky and have friends that work there, so we usually get in for free.
I was really disappointed in KNotts, I haven't been in a while and it seemed so run down, a worker told me they were bought out by a new co. and it's been going down hill, but for free it was still a fun day!!
CJR I grew up in Santa Ana(I still work there)but now live in Riverside.
Yes Teri and Ian need a day at Disneyland, but I have a feeling Ian would be walking 10 feet ahead of her yelling "COME"!

we got the flex/hopper passes (4 days, and i think i walked 30 miles over those days because we also walked to the rv park from there and back again at night....still tired! also, i aways end up being the 'hall tree'--you know, holding cameras and drinks and hats and jackets and sunglasses and purchases and the movie camera...lol, i asked if they had a 'hall tree' pass, but they don't!!) but other than 'california screamin' and the ride that they felt they were hang gliding in, the kids did not like california adventure at all. i think we spent a total of 4 hours there and 3.8 days at disney. i would say, if someone does not have the hopper pass, and can only do one, go to DISNEYLAND over california adventure.
our passes were 111 bucks each for the 4-day hopper passes. not bad considering how much it can cost for one day!

oh yeah, ian and teri teri and ian

my niece was buzz lightyear and the bear from 'jungle book' and snow white one year in all the parades....

Pamy

LOL Tabby That is cool about your niece, I wanted to do that when I was young, but never did.
I agree Ca Adventure is not for kids, and disney must have known it because they just added 'A bugs land' which is a play area for kids, but it is fun for adults to look at all the stores and stuff.

Pamy, I lived in Santa Ana twice; went to 1.25 school years in Jr High and then had a condo there as an adult before i moved on over to Fountain Valley, where I still remain. Also lived in Corona del Mar for HS and a bit more, for a few mo in Yorba Linda, a long long time in Modjeska, 10 years in Fullerton ..

I had annual passes to Disneyland for quite a few years with a couple of friends.. we'd go often. At one time they even had special parking and we could park close, wander in for a parade, eat, do a bit of shopping. They live in Key West now and my knees went south (probably Ian hit them with a bat or something) so.. no more passes. I've been to Calif adventure once and that "hang gliding" ride is wonderful. (one of these guys was Mickey Mouse for a time..)

I don't think Ian would get into the disney mood, to be honest :( Besides they live in Florida so they can go to Orlando.

My parents managed apartments on McFadden for many years btwn Brookhurst and Euclid I believe (or Harbor and Euclid??) Can't remember now its been so long. The neighborhood got pretty bad and they moved to Colorado.

Well, Teri can go to Disneyworld without Ian and probably have a lot more fun!

Disneyland was wonderful when we were there 5 years ago, the Adventure park was just in the planning stages then. It was a long trip for us, we live in eastern Canada. Disneyland was a highlight for the kids, I liked it too but I loved the Grand Canyon.

I don't think Ian would do well in Disneyland, you can't be there and not be happy, and that might hurt him.

I lived on Edinger between Bristol and Harbor until I moved here and I was VERY happy to leave, I must say.

Pamy, I went to Willard way back, lived way North east of there above 17th and near Lincoln..

And of course I worked for the county and then for CSC at the Civic Center too.

I never ever saw Ian in Santa Ana.

(speaking of Ian.. I'm worried because it doesn't sound like he and Teri are the ones who go this time.. they start in first and we know both brother teams have blow ups, and one team gets a flat tire racing to the pitstop and that one team loses a clue, another finds it and returns it, but later that team refuses to help the helping team.. Aiee!

I realize that if Ian got a flat tire, he'd just make Teri push the vehicle into the pit stop..

LOL Sea about not seeing Ian in SA!

I never see Ian in Fountain Valley, either.. I was at Ralph's for a good long time yesterday and he was NOWHERE to be seen. I checked for him.. he wasn't in with the turkies or the hams. I looked with the saurkraut and the saurbraten and the sourdough bread.. nope. Maybe he was down the street at Albertson's.

Anyway, we'd best be sharp tonight since TAR starts an hour early..
