MAM Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 2 gigs for us. One in the early evening with my wife at the Soldiers & Sailors home, and then back to the local watering hole for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordharris Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I'm sitting back and clipping my toe-nails, and hope they grow in full during the NEW YEAR. I watch the NEW YEARS specials with the most and well known music guests, like Nickelback and others. other wise I watch another program.It's the rap that gets me to change the channel.I like some, but not all.

mannoman Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 If the weather holds up and I feel ok, Ruthie and I might drive 60 miles to see Billy Sullivan play drums for Gary Lewis and the Playboys in 'beautiful' Plant City FL.

James Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Ted, when I took my nephews to Disney World in 2003 we stayed at Day's Inn in Plant City. Thought I could trust Day's Inn but I had to have them turn my phone off in the middle of the night as I got several drug related phone calls...probably to the previous occupant.My nephews thought it was funny (and I kind of did too).

James Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 We like to do different things. I took them to a Miami Hurricane football gave once etc etc.They're really interested in history. There's a place in Missouri...Corn, Wheat, errr Rice Valley or something like that..can't recall exactly the name...But anyway the travel books say that this place is still in the 1700s and going there is like traveling right into history! My nephews keep begging me to take them there but traveling the dirt roads to get there really doesn't appeal to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY TUNES Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 For the last 3 New Years Eves we have held a big bash at our house with 50 -60 people, entertainment, and food for 200. This year my cousin wanted to throw the party in his new house. I will gladly save the thousands of dollars spent on the party and my wife will not miss all the work involved. Instead we will enjoy being entertained rather than entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessieboo Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Ted,Plant City? Wrong time of year for strawberriesWe have property in Beverly Hills FL,and Minneola,FL.James, why would anyone stay in Plant city to go to Disney? There are do many Hotels right there in the area?Back on the Topic,We are going over to a neighbors party. I do not want to be out driving. About 15-20 people, lots of fun, we all bring an appetizer type dish, to keep it easy. I was asked to bring "I was Born to Love you" CD. I'll pick one up as a hostess gift!

James Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Bess, we spent one full day at DWorld...drove up the evening before from Naples so we could get an early start...stayed in Plant City to save $100+ on a hotel room as we were to only spend 8 hours in the room.Like the Stein Mart shoppers on EC.Com, I don't believe in spending money unnecessarily..

Tiggsherby Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 The Eagles are playing the Falcons at 4:15 so I'll start off the evening selling COLD BEER at the game and then it's back home with some family and friends! My wife won't drive on New Years Eve so we usually invite everyone doing nothing, over to our house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I heard the story was that James is dating 2 Bears cheerleaders, so they are working most of the day. And the Bears players get jealous and unfocused when James uses his well-earned comp tickets (Rex, What are you looking at? Get your head in the game!)So, for the good of the team, James stays home with his Swanson Dinner and watches the game on his 13 inch K-Mart black and white...
