hehehehe  
Not from Orlando - I’m about 3 hours away from there - just outside of Jacksonville. It’s a dull place. Not worth visiting unless I’m around. Not that I’ve got an ego or anything. So when were you in Kissimmee? Visiting Mouseland, I’m guessing?

No, they have a classic car show at the weekend, in the town centre.

Not into car shows myself, but hubby is a biker on occasion, so we’ve been to Bike Week and Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach. It’s boring for a non-biker _\<stifled yawn\>_ but the people-watching is great.

I’m running out of conversational gems - care to share a fascinating tidbit about yourself? I won’t laugh - I promise.

\<shudder\> I had to ask… My kid drives me crazy when she cracks her fingers.

Well, my dear, sorry I couldn’t push you over the top, but I have laundry to fold and a dishwasher to load. I’ll be checking up on this thread tomorrow.

Ciao!

The first rule about Magical Posting Bunnies is you do not talk about

When it comes to a bad post count, i think i take the cake.  
(Im just doing this because i want another post, bear with me)  
I think I signed on in july of 1999.  
My post count hasent even broke 80 yet.  
I spend more time lurking than posting.  
dont bother with the posting bunnies. I ate them.
