.....but I don't want to shower.....j/k
I will bring a sleeping bag but I am going to claim the other bed with whoever...I am pulling age, my knees and back don't handle the floor like they used to and well I am not afraid/ashamed to sleep next to another dude as long as said dude does not stink.

Hence the requisite shower, deodorant, & clean undies.

I mentioned PJ's right?

Yeah, those are also <b>not</b> optional.

(& no, as good of a rape repellant as they may make, nasty stinky day old clothes don't count)

Fees? If you are fileing a 1040 you should be able to do it free. I looked on the IRS websites list of tax sites & found one that even did my state free, there was only that one for the state taxes though.

It was taxslayer.com if anybody wanted to know.

I already got my return & my stimulus cheque. Still waiting for my State though.

as an addendum to Haley's most excellent list (thanks for posting that, hope it was entirely unnecessary)...

I have 2 pieces of luggage in functional condition (don't ask what happened to the others because I am not sure what he did) that are available for use...

Small 24"x18"x8"
Large 30"x24"x10"

I am taking the large one at least because I have boots and other leather/wooden items to pack but that will by no means take up all the space and the boots will be wrapped to protect the rest of my garb... so there will be space for others items... also I can bring the small one along for someone else to use... just let me know..

One would hope, but better safe ...

Particularly as I would hate to be the one driving a car turned lynch mob.

I can handle the floor or harness if I have to so either way is fine... or let cassie share with him, doubt he will complain much... only recently improved my sleeping conditions to something better than abysmal so the floor will not suck so much... I was stupid not to get rid of that futon months before I finally did.. stubborn I guess..

One more thing I think someone should bring is a power strip or two... lot of people with few rooms and threfor few outlets for charging electronic devices... I know I will have phone and 2 portable gaming devices (to make sure I am not bored on the driving portions) and I am guessing at least phones will be used by others and may need recharging... I can bring 1 strip since it is exposed but others may be needed...

while taking cheyne's advice and peeking at the parks rides they had the Flash Pass advertised... if a pass good for 6 people is bought it costs 111 dollars (18.50 per person)

this allows you to virtually wait in line and be notified when your turn is close...

just an option for people to consider

I looked at the flash pass thing & it really only applies to about 6-8 rides. All of them are the parks biggies, but as none of them are really my favorites I think I'm going to pass. I'll probably ride them once, but not over & over.

(as Cheyne hates rollercosters, i'm willing to bet, he will be doing the same.)

If people want to do that though i'm sure that will work out fine, I figure we'll divide into groups anyway. The flash pass people can trek toegether & I can convince Cheyne & any who accompany me to ride "Runaway Mountian" like 20 times. ...love that thing. *wistfull look* And now it's old enough that it's lines shouldn't be all that long.

& if we need other ways to divide groups, I will give this warning: I <b> do not</b> ride wooden rollercosters. Ever. At all. <b>Peroid.</b>

So if there are people who love those rickity, whiplash inducing, pices of shit, I am not the girl you will be walking around with.

If you are into things that are minimal on the sudden stomach clenching drops, the teacups, the sidewinder, the swings, pirate ship & steel rollercosters then I'm your girl. I'm also more than happy to do the water rides, they are not my favorites, but I was broken in at a young age, so I don't mind them either.

Also, Jason. You, Me, and that big ass carousel have a date.
Do not mistake this for a request.

*goes back to reveling in the fact that this will be one of the only trips to sixflags without having to ride judge roy scream*

I could not find a hat to buy today...

what kind were you looking for? Like a panama or something?

Did you check burlington coat factory? They're usually a good place to buy mens hats, if you are not looking for a baseball cap.

If you have something specific in mind,you might call them and see if they have it in stock.

Also there is a store called Hatworld which has locations near both crossroads mall as well as quail springs.
