GARDEN, I FINISHED ALL THE COMMENTS (3100 something), ARE YOU HAPPY?? XD
HI!!!!!!
I’m back from DC!! It was fun. =)
So yes, I was gone from 6/29-7/3, that’s why I haven’t been replying or anything. I got 33 emails total.
We saw memorials, museums and went on a dinner cruise. We had to go through those security checks like 20x this week. But we got to see a lot of cool historical things.
On the bus, the nice Coach, we were like having a wild, dance party and they said we were the most quietest group they had. They also said we were the best group they’ve ever taken to DC. =D
I won a happy smiley award for always smiling and not compalining. Coughs, which is really ironic, cuz I’ve been complaining to only one chaperon… Haha.
Food was AWESOME. I went to this restaurant called Vie De France, try their breakfast, it was great. Try the French Bread and Garlic spread. Try jumping off a cliff. XD
We went to a place called Medieval Times, I don’t know if you guys ever went there but FIND IT AND GO THERE ITS AWESOME. Haha, 10 people lost their voice from screaming though. There, they served half a fried chicken (leg, thigh, breast, wing all still attached), spare ribs, garlic bread, tomato soup, half a baked potato and a apple roll thing for dessert. All hands on food, no utensils.
Dinner Cruise, awesome but it rained, Ha.
When we went to the Lincoln Memorial, it started downpour with T-Storms. We soaked wet.
I went to the Smithsonian’s zoo, Air and Space and Natural History. Although we sat on benches most of the time on the last 2 museums cuz we were bored ad tired.
I probably walked 20 miles this week.
But I saw the Giant Pandas!!!!! =D
Tai Shan and Mei Xiang
They had Tian Tian but he wasn’t there.
I bought a lot of stuff, haha. 3 shirts, one very addictive thing to stare at (it has water and color), a snowglobe, a map, something something something.
The camera died in the middle of the week so I have 4 disposable cameras.
My iPod died on the airplane but thats cuz I had to sit next to a newly wed couple who… AHHHHHHHH its disturbing so I listened to iPod most of the time.
Went up the Washington Monument, walked around WWII memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, stood in front of the White House, went to the Holocaust museum and had lunches at the Pentagon Mall, Union Station and Ronald Reagan Trade Center. Probably more places I can’t remember.
We saw the Pentagon Memorial too.
Don’t ever take pics of the Pentagon, it’s something to remember.
Hmm…
Hotel was big but small rooms, we were crazy trying to take quick showers and stuff. We had 5 people in the room (originally 4), we just decided to add another person without telling anyone. SHHH XD
You don’t know what hotel we stayed in so whatever. Haha.
Hotel Room has Plasma TV. O.O
There was this one restaurant we went to, a Sports Pub (Yes, there was drinking and smoking there, but we didn’t, they put us upstairs next to a bar XD). It had 30 something TV’s in there.
We saw Obama’s Motorcade! We were 50 feet away from him but we didn’t see him, he was in the car with his family. It took 10-20 minutes for him to cross one intersection so they can sniff out bombs, make sure the road is safe.
……..
It must take an hour to get to McDonalds and back then…
I have about 500-600 something pictures. I’ll do something to show them.
I bothered my chaperon a lot, it was fun. I pecked him with a eagle.
Airplane tiring but it had TV’s! Ha.
Oh and the airport confiscated one of my snowglobes cuz it was “too big”
WHY?! I don’t know, haha.

Nochia can I add you as a temporary editor on my blog? I’m gonna need help unmoderating 2,000+ comments. It could take maybe 30 minutes – an hour and lags my computer. The contest is gonna be over on July 10 and I need someone to help me unmoderate the comments on my blog.
And yeah, I know how to check all in one column and remove the 20 comments. Last time I did it, there was 200 comments and it really slowed down my computer. If you make a mere accident, and delete 20 or 40 by accident, I don’t care. If you say yes, please don’t let Pengy use your account or computer. I don’t trust her with my blog.

Are you saying I’m stupid enough to delete your blog? I don’t bother doing anything to it… just read it… and maybe comment.
Posted by gardenax on July 8, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I meant unmoderate them not delete them. It’s okay if you delete by accident, I’ll forgive you, but don’t delete them all. I will give you Match87055’s comments to unmoderate. I will do Were 2’s. Out of 10 people in my contest and 3 that dropped out, they commented the most. Were 2 had 1,003 and Match87055 has like 750 right now, Idk if he’s stopping or continuing. You just commented recently after he did. And yesterday’s his was 600 or 700. I don’t know how far is he going.

No you don’t just unmoderate one person, I’m trying to get it finished in one day. First you click on pending comments, then click on their name in the person’s comment on the comment board and it will give you all the results of the comments they’ve ever made. When you are done, do another person. And don’t worry, most of the people only commented like 100’s, 30’s, and some just gave up at 3. I think we will finish in 30 minutes, and please don’t ask anything else in return.

No you don’t count. It’s pointless. I will only announce the winners on 1st and 2nd place comments which were already counted out. You just unmoderate. I have your email in the comments already. So is that your real email, old email, or fake email (like Hannah’s)? Final question and I will add you tomorrow night.

Okay, I will add you know. This were 2 dude commented 600 more times. I have 3,300 comments now. That beats Shyshy’s record of 3,100 in her last contest.
Posted by gardenax on July 10, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Can you unmoderate Match87055, just search him name on the pending category of the comments and click on his name or unmoderate his comments.
Posted by gardenax on July 10, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Last thing, to unmoderate all of them in one page, click the check box where it says author and where it says bulk actions click the arrow and click approve and click apply then do the next row.
Posted by gardenax on July 10, 2009 at 6:18 pm
If you delete any by accident, it doesn’t matter. If someone bumps into the page from search engine, their computer lags less.
Posted by gardenax on July 10, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Now???? Depends whenever you want to do it. Nevermind about unmoderating someone’s comments, you can just go straight to unmoderating whatever’s at pending.
Posted by gardenax on July 11, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Thank you very much! It was slowing down my computer! I still can’t believe I went up to 3,300. It was unexpected!
Posted by gardenax on July 11, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Wait you had a record of 4,000 comments… in one post?
