[gaylean93]

I went shopping today. I keep finding dress clothes and nothing casual. I did get a jean skirt that I really like so now I just need to find a casual but cute shirt to go with it. Everything is so long and it doesn't go with short skirts. I tried on the cutest skirt and shirt but it was pretty dressy and I already have enough of that stuff. Don't ask why I tried it on! Anyway, I wanted to catch up a little because if I let it go too long I don't know what's going on. In about ten minutes I have to go and get the kids and take a few of their friends to the park for a play date. I will be back after that but I need to pack for this weekend but I'm sure I'll check in.

[vtiffany]

Ok, joining in on the first page. Our reservation says 'main' dining, is that early or late? Looked on the cruise website for clarification, found none. Anyone know?:confused3

[gaylean93]

Someone posted about the pink tee at the Disney Store. I thought it looked purple but that isn't why I'm posting. For some reason I was picturing hot pink. Does it matter?

[MouseFaninQueue]

Wow just looked at my countdown (on Facebook) and it reads 39 days 17 hours! We're under 40 for our vacation. I'm not sure if I should be excited, scared or sad ....

Excited that it is coming up soon
Scared that it is coming up soon and we've still got lots to do
Sad that it is coming up soon which means it will be gone sooner and nothing else to look forward to ...

[gaylean93]

I can't believe "I" am answering this but we are early and it says main on ours as well.

[lillygator]

Ken are you rebooking onboard?

[ibouncetoo]

Found you!

...however...lunch break is over......

...catch ya later......

[granmaz]

Mary, in reply to your post on the old thread that I can't copy here(!), I use the Dove moisturiser with tanning and I find that the best.

[Tink rules]

We're on a new thread????????????????? Oh well...

Another note from Shirley just in case nobody saw it... for those who are driving to PC...

OK ANOTHER REMINDER FOR THOSE THAT FORGOT OR STILL HAVE A HEAVY FOOT.

AS SOON AS YOU PASS THE CRUISE SHIPS AND START TO COME OVER THE OVERPASS, TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS LIKE RIGHT NOW - there is a patrol car that is going to make sure you go from a higher speed to a MUCH LOWER ONE. Just before you go over that overpass to the other side, the area is being patrol super heavy so if you don't want an invitation to our courts, SLOW DOWN ;-)

ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE A FINE - DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT CARRY ANY GLASS CONTAINERS ON TO THE BEACH - YOU DO AND FOUND, ITS GOING TO COST YA $100.00 RIGHT OFF THE BAT and you could have brought a few gift basket for that amount ;-)

OK thats all the warnings for today
always
Shirley

Not likely. Just not sure when we can take another big vacation. My DD6 is moving up in school and we are hesitant to take her out, Shannon is looking at changing jobs (decreased income) and we are looking at moving to another city (increased cost of living).

So there is gonna be too much going on to even begin to think of another trip right now.

[Tink rules]

& a quick note to those suffering from TMJ....

I just remembered... ok... I just brushed my teeth....:rolleyes: that my dentist (who is also a very good friend of mine...) told me to use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth... I use Colgate Total Sensitive and it works great!!!

Just a thought...

[lillygator]

ugh, I have to clean house tonight, my mom is babysitting tomorrow night as I have an awards of excellence dinner to go to.

At current pace, we should be in our 15th by sail date.

So before you actually get to the port, not the flyover at the port? I guess if we go slow everywhere we will be ok.:confused3

Not sure if you got the information about the Airport Express.

Here is the website: http://graylineanaheim.com/airport_info.cfm

There is a link in the middle of the webpage to a really nice brochure with the bus schedule.

You can book online or call to make a reservation. (If you book online, you can save a couple of bucks.)

Your post reminded me to call them and find out if you need to make a reservation for going to the airport or if we could just show up when the schedule says to.

I just called and we DO need a reservation made at least 24 hours in advance. It can be done by the hotel staff.

thank you that is what I was looking for.

With my whole car payment fiasco, I am now making a list of everything that will need to be set to pay....most all our utilites are on th 15-20th right smack in the middle of when we are gone!

[luv2cruzsus]

are there atm's or a bank of america close to DL?

There is a Bank of America on Katella and State College. It's not walking distance, but just a couple of minute from Katella and Harbor if driving. DL is on Harbor and Katella (well up the street a little) so it's not far. There are ATM's outside DL and also inside DL and CA, but they aren't BofA.

[IAmAHiddenMickey]

Anyone see this thread about the eco tour at CC:

Heads Up! PWC (jetski) tours cancelled on CC (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1767361)

I'm not sure if it's just for a while or not, but it doesn't sound good!

[luv2cruzsus]

DH and I went to Ruth's Chris for dinner last night to celebrate my bonus - we ordered a bottle of Veuve Cliquot Rose champagne - oh my gosh it was delicious. We are definitely going to try to find it somewhere to take on board. It was pricey, but worth every penny!

[cquick]

Gosh! Here we are on page 3 of the new thread, and I just found out!

I got 20 of the fuzzy mickey bobble headbands today. So if there are other girls who want one, I'll have some extra.

I actually found a couple that light up very weakly! so I know all they need is batteries. Connie

You have Ruth's Chris in Corona!!!!!

My brother in law and my nephews all live in Canyon Lake and Johnny used to have his business in Corona, but now it's just outside of Lake Elsinore.

That is who we are going to visit after the cruise.

[scillacc]

Hi all,

My hubby and I are leaving that night, after disembarking, at 11pm to take a red eye back to the east coast. Does anyone have any idea what happens to our bags? Will disney take them to the airport? Also, if anyone else is doing the same, whatare you planning to do that day. I did find that there is a company that will pick up and deliver and store your bags for the day.

Thanks!

[EllaEnchanted]

John got home from his class early today. He made me some mac and cheese.....yummy and easy on the tummy so we don't have any repeats of yesterday.

All the new clothes I ordered for him came today. So he took his suitcase and put all the clothes that just came into it. Now he said, he has officially started packing for the trip. He needed everything because he gained some weight too since we stopped smoking. So I got him four pants, four shirts, three bathing shorts and four tank tee shirts. It's all packed and ready to go. Now he just has to add some clothes that he already has that still fit him and he's done.

[luv2cruzsus]

Actually I went to the one in Anaheim - just down the street from DL. We don't have one in Corona - that goodness because I love it!

all right guys - you are making too too hard to keep up with you all! PLEASE STOP TALKING! :lmao: :lmao:

Just Kidding - I checked in last Friday and you were all into part 8 and I missed the tail end of part 7.

Sorry - have had to deal with life - its not cooperating with my DIS time - don't they know that this is how I keep sane? Its all a conspiracy - they want me :crazy: - I just know it! ;)

Anyway, just checking in - doing a :drive: by as I have an appt to keep - wish I could miss it but they'd charge $65 if I do - stupid, stupid person (ahem - that would be me :rolleyes1 ) that scheduled these things.

One quick question - is everybody gearing up for their eye exams, doctors visits, shots needed for this trip?

And why do I feel like I'm 10 days late for school? :confused3 Anyone else feel this way?

[scillacc]

Hi,
We do have transportation arranged to the airport. Do you think we can check in as soon as we get there, and then take a cab to disneyland?

[EllaEnchanted]

DH and I went to Ruth's Chris for dinner last night to celebrate my bonus - we ordered a bottle of Veuve Cliquot Rose champagne - oh my gosh it was delicious. We are definitely going to try to find it somewhere to take on board. It was pricey, but worth every penny!

You should check with Karen/been2marceline. She was going on this cruise but had to cancel. She's still supplying us with the champagne for our champagne girls tasting. Here's her website: http://www.winemiles.com

If you don't see it on the site, I'm sure she has it or can get it. You should definitely give her a try. Oh, and DISers get a 10% discount.

I can't believe "I" am answering this but we are early and it says main on ours as well.

Where do you live outside Phili? I'm up in the Poconos. We're about an hour to an hour and a half away from each other. Who is sailing with you?

It's me, Deb, and my DH, John, sailing. We're flying out of Allentown into Sanford Int'l. then we pick up a car rental and drive to Cocoa Beach for two days before boarding.

What are your plans? Are you flying out of Phili into MCO? When are you leaving? Where are you staying?

We could plan a mini meet if you're interested before we take off. We could meet at King of Prussa somewhere.

Do you have Disney Transportation? If you do, they will take care of your luggage. but if you are not going until much later that night, are you still taking Disney Transp? That's what you need to find out first.

Yes, on the Disney ships, "main" dining is early.... most ships have "main" dining later, and there will be little coupons in your stateroom to let you know what times the dinners are at the different dining rooms.

[luv2cruzsus]

There is a Bank of America on Katella and State College. It's not walking distance, but just a couple of minute from Katella and Harbor if driving. DL is on Harbor and Katella (well up the street a little) so it's not far. There are ATM's outside DL and also inside DL and CA, but they aren't BofA.
the bank inside disney use to be a Bof A way back when!!!

[EllaEnchanted]

Very cool!! Thanks for the tip.


You are very welcome.....tell her EllaEnchanted sent you so that she'll know you're a DISer!

You have Ruth's Chris in Corona!!!!!

I live in Murrieta...not familar with a Ruth Chris in Corona. In San Diego and Irvine, yes; they probably went to one of those!

Happy Birthday!!

We're on a new thread????????????????? Oh well...

Another note from Shirley just in case nobody saw it... for those who are driving to PC...

OK ANOTHER REMINDER FOR THOSE THAT FORGOT OR STILL HAVE A HEAVY FOOT.

AS SOON AS YOU PASS THE CRUISE SHIPS AND START TO COME OVER THE OVERPASS, TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS LIKE RIGHT NOW - there is a patrol car that is going to make sure you go from a higher speed to a MUCH LOWER ONE. Just before you go over that overpass to the other side, the area is being patrol super heavy so if you don't want an invitation to our courts, SLOW DOWN ;-)

ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE A FINE - DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT CARRY ANY GLASS CONTAINERS ON TO THE BEACH - YOU DO AND FOUND, ITS GOING TO COST YA $100.00 RIGHT OFF THE BAT and you could have brought a few gift basket for that amount ;-)

OK thats all the warnings for today
always
Shirley

Anyone see this thread about the eco tour at CC:

Heads Up! PWC (jetski) tours cancelled on CC (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1767361)

I'm not sure if it's just for a while or not, but it doesn't sound good!

Oh I hope not! I had booked a double for myself and Jacinda and a solo for the nanny later in the day. That it would be great fun! :sad1:

[taysmom]

are there atm's or a bank of america close to DL?
Someone answered and yes, but there is an ATM inside DL, just your normal charge.
Hi,
We do have transportation arranged to the airport. Do you think we can check in as soon as we get there, and then take a cab to disneyland?
Depends on the airport...LAX is not so close to DL, expensive cab ride.

Do we need to get shots for this cruise?:scared1:

Vicki
According to my phsyician...I don't need anything, neither does my child. BUT thats for me...I'd ask, better to be safe than sorry! You just reminded me that I need a prescription for antibiotics...I was so sick on the med..thank goodness for those nice folks from georgia...they were pharmacists and loaded me up with good stuff on board! I can't remember their disname..they were in our group, they were the ones who didn't get their luggage until the end...like florence or rome?!...they had 2 cute girls anyways, they saved my butt!

PJ, From the last part - I am not sure if Airbus will pick it up or not. They usually don't fly to major cities. At least not yet.

Happy Birthday Ian. Great pics of the family Deborah.

We are doing the same thing. It is me and my son DS18. I am thinking of renting a car from the port to DL to the airport and then we could leave the luggage in the car. Are you at all interested?
Lisa

Hi all,

My hubby and I are leaving that night, after disembarking, at 11pm to take a red eye back to the east coast. Does anyone have any idea what happens to our bags? Will disney take them to the airport? Also, if anyone else is doing the same, whatare you planning to do that day. I did find that there is a company that will pick up and deliver and store your bags for the day.

Thanks!

[gydell]

DH and I went to Ruth's Chris for dinner last night to celebrate my bonus - we ordered a bottle of Veuve Cliquot Rose champagne - oh my gosh it was delicious. We are definitely going to try to find it somewhere to take on board. It was pricey, but worth every penny!

I love Ruth's Chris!

What year was it? You can get the 2000 at Bevmo for like $85.00. I'm sure you paid much more at Ruth Chris especially if it was the grande which is like $400.00 at the stores. I, of course, have never tried that one!

[gaylean93]

You have Ruth's Chris in Corona!!!!!

My brother in law and my nephews all live in Canyon Lake and Johnny used to have his business in Corona, but now it's just outside of Lake Elsinore.

That is who we are going to visit after the cruise.

They have one in Anaheim, right by the DL.

[HollyTyler]

From the last thread, posted by V:

"Holly - I thought Bobby was with Heather already? I am confused? Did he bite the dust?"

V, Heather just told me last night that she never received him, but she does have his passport & stuff, so she told me she'd send me that stuff, but I told her since Jan made the passport and provided the suitcase & stuff, she might like it back. Then I remembered that you mentioned you'd like him to visit. John says he has a stunt double that can become the new Bobby, so maybe he can send him out. The old Bobby died and would not hold enough air to stand up and was quite flat after about 10 minutes. :lmao: Poor Bobby!

[gydell]

Ok I changed my flight to MCO and my hotel at the port. All to do now is pack and wait!

[lillygator]

ugh, I tried squishing in a formal....NOT it looked like I had four ****s! I have to get something for tomorrow night.


scottishwee = your DH didn't know about the cruise?

[lillygator]

we were out swimming....the boys next door were playing frisbee....they don't belive in shirts and I think they don't believe in undies either. they are so skinny their pants are falling down.

[lillygator]

d'uh, I just realized I can out our passports and documnets in our Passporter!!!

[lillygator]

who's bringing Bobby to the port?

[Mom323]

so how many parts do you think we will have prior to boarding?

I guess 19.

[Mom323]

Someone posted about the pink tee at the Disney Store. I thought it looked purple but that isn't why I'm posting. For some reason I was picturing hot pink. Does it matter?

Here's another one that is definately pink

I seem to have the same problem with my pants falling down and I'm sure I am much older. (Do believe in undies though!!) Somewhere between 45 and 55 my hips got smaller than my waist. :rotfl2: :scared1: :rotfl2: However, I don't think I am the only one that may have this problem... :confused3

What great pictures! I want to plan a surprise cruise now. Looks like it would be so fun to catch someone off guard with a present like that!

A few years ago, we booked the DVC member cruise and didn't tell Patrick. We packed in secret and said we were going out to lunch. We drove and drove and drove. He finally saw the water as we crossed the intercoastal, then he started asking all kinds of questions. Then he saw the WONDER! He said, when do I get to go on a boat ride? We told him today! He was so excited! :joker: Also, his birthday is in October, so it was a great gift!

[Mom323]

One quick question - is everybody gearing up for their eye exams, doctors visits, shots needed for this trip?

And why do I feel like I'm 10 days late for school? :confused3 Anyone else feel this way?

Eye exam - done, new glasses ordered, should be ready in one more week
doctor's visits - done, have copies of all prescriptions, and DH med form
shots- tetanus up to date, Hep A and B done.

About the immunizations, DH was in the Marines for 20 years and all his were up to date when he retired. He has gotten a tetanus booster since then.
I'm a nurse and have had the hep A and b as well. Did get the tetanus booster though for the trip.

Immunizations are not required. I would make sure your tetanus is up to date. Talk to your MD.

It is too sad to think about. :sad2:

[gydell]

gosh, I wish I could find more info on this Chico's Paradise in PV, I really want to go there.

It's the restuarant that I told you about. It is off the beaten path and the stream that goes by it you can play in but it is freezing. There is no electricity or gas, so everything is cooked over fires. It is a bit of a walk once you park your car. The food is mostly seafood which is the food of Puerta Vallarta. There are birds along the path from your car to the restuarant. Take bug spray because it is in the jungle! I would do it again. It has been about 6 years since we went.

[Mom323]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN!!!!

Gosh. That's awfully nice of you, thank you. But my birthday isn't until August (Just kidding! I know it's another Ian. I'm just used to being the only one :rotfl:)

[HollyTyler]

who's bringing Bobby to the port?
Must be John. But I think there's another one floating around somewhere too.

[iankh]

I'm afraid I've been shopping. Some packing cubes arrived today.

It turns out that eBags has their own brand of cubes, and the price was very reasonable so I bought the set of 3. I also bought some Eagle Creek Folders that were on mark down because they were discontinued colors.

Also, eBags is having a sale, 10% off, even sale items, and free shipping. The promo code is:

EMSPRING70

____________________________________________

Also a bit of unusual news today. I may be in the local Chicago press or something like that because of WW. They are trying to promote men and WW. I had to write up my success store and send before and after pictures to someone in corporate.

Not quite sure how I feel being interviewed or having my "before" picture splashed around.


_____________________________________________

Regarding the tuxes, Tuxxman is sending me the missing black vests and bow ties via priority mail. I'll be glad when I finally have all the pieces and can at last schlepp everything to the dry cleaners.

I have started to assemble the other accouterments for the formal nights.

We are on the west coast just south of seattle...but in the foothills of Mt. Rainier. Scott is heading to the airport tonight and said as soon as he drove down off the plateau it was rainy...figures it is just our area.

OK I'm crazy. I am packing for a four day weekend and I just wrote down all the days so I knew how much to pack. I think I'm truly stressed about packing for the cruise.

[pjpoohbear]

So Kaylee, that should be hitting Toronto in about four days, eh?

Pj

We had snow on Monday morning, Tuesday night and we are getting more on Thursday night maybe.

[fourmcds]

please Kaylee.......I need some friends here!!!!!

Find me a job and I'll be there in a heartbeat! You know I am serious. I just asked the girls if they wanted to live near the Mouse and they both got excited. I have so much going on right now around here I have stopped looking in the area for possible locations, but I will be back to looking again sometime in the summer. I'm trying!!!!:goodvibes

"Holly - I thought Bobby was with Heather already? I am confused? Did he bite the dust?"

V, Heather just told me last night that she never received him, but she does have his passport & stuff, so she told me she'd send me that stuff, but I told her since Jan made the passport and provided the suitcase & stuff, she might like it back. Then I remembered that you mentioned you'd like him to visit. John says he has a stunt double that can become the new Bobby, so maybe he can send him out. The old Bobby died and would not hold enough air to stand up and was quite flat after about 10 minutes. :lmao: Poor Bobby!

So did the old Bobby get mailed away yet or did he die and get thrown away? Is the new Bobby making the rounds yet?

[HollyTyler]

So did the old Bobby get mailed away yet or did he die and get thrown away? Is the new Bobby making the rounds yet?
The old Bobby died and had a private funeral. He was unable to continue on anymore. Yup, I did the unpleasant duty of tossing him while Tyler was gone one night. He believes Bobby left us to continue his travels. :thumbsup2 BUT the new Bobby never came out to replace the old one, unfortunately. :sad1:

We will be in Seattle from the 26th April, and I had NOT planned on taking anything for weather like that!!!

Being from sunny Sydney, I have only seen snow twice in my life, when we went on vacation to the snowfields in the south of the country when I was a kid, so I own nothing to pack!!!

Winter clothes aren't out here quite yet (not that we ever get anything in the shops for weather like you are having), only light autumn stuff - looks like I am hitting the shops!!!:scared: :scared:

Being from sunny Sydney, I have only seen snow twice in my life, when we went on vacation to the snowfields in the south of the country when I was a kid, so I own nothing to pack!!!

Winter clothes aren't out here quite yet (not that we ever get anything in the shops for weather like you are having), only light autumn stuff - looks like I am hitting the shops!!!:scared: :scared:

Oh I wouldn't go buy too much for that portion of the trip. The weather out here changes it's mind so often you never can tell if it is sunny or rainy! :lmao: By the end of April you should be fine....not warm weather but not cold either. Make sure to have a windbreaker/waterproof type jacket and you should be good:goodvibes

[disneylover5]

I have a very nice friend in high up places who is going to help me out! :goodvibes So, all will be good soon enough!
How is Frank today?

Awesome news!!! I know this will sound silly, but that makes my night!!

Frank is terrible. They say he has Failure to Thrive. He has a fever and his blood pressure is about 70/40. He is throwning up and coming out the other end as well. He has had the hiccups since Monday non-stop. They say he is becoming septic, which I am not to sure I understand. They told me the infection is racing though the blood stream. He is weak and miserable.

Vicki..it wasn't carolmb, but she was cool. Do you keep up with the other post. We still go there every once in a while to check it out.

You're right, I think it was Wonder-Caroline. They were on deck 6 near where we were. I do go back and read whenever there is a new post. Brings back memories. What a special cruise that was.:upsidedow :)
Decided to can the massage on the ship. I should have it before and save lots of $$$.

My dad had sepsis as well. They say you actually get it from being in the hospital. I don't know a lot either but I know it is like a poisoning of the blood. My prayers are with you and your family.

Hello Lisa

My name is Leanne, and I have been reading your story with much sympathy.
I don't want to intrude, but I thought I would let you know what I know about 'septic'. This happened to my grandfather years ago, and septic means that the body is not coping with the infection he has, and his organs are going into sort of shock, and toxins are getting into his bloodstream. This, with other factors, can make his blood pressure go down. He is in the best place for this to be fixed up, and since he has been getting treatment for a few days now, he should be getting better soon.

Hope that things improve for you and your family.:hug:

Oh Lisa, you're right it doesn't sound too good for Frank right now, but anything can happen.....it might be a miracle, but a miracle could happen. You have to hope for the best and be prepared for the worst and always have faith.

Septic is when the blood is infected, he probably has a low blood count too. My mom had it many, many times over the course of four years from when she first got sick to when we lost her. She had many quarts of many blood transfusions. Hopefully they are doing that for Frank too.

Chin up and don't give up the fight.....be positive for Frank.....and remember that it's in God's hands.

I'm thinking about you every minute of the day and sending lots of hugs and love. I'll be waiting for your updates.

. . . we ordered a bottle of Veuve Cliquot Rose champagne - oh my gosh it was delicious. We are definitely going to try to find it somewhere to take on board.
Had Veuve Clicquot Champagne over the holidays. Exquisite!

I do realize for most on this list, this is nothing...but it is almost APRIL and I thought we were done with this. There are accidents galore on the roads right now and we are getting snow (you getting anything Angie?) UGH The PNW doesn't ever really get snow so why now when it is supposed to be spring?:confused3
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t164/fourmcds/clear058.jpg

We got some snow too today. I think most of it is gone as I don't think any stuck around. But it was snowing pretty heavily after work today.

I will be so glad to go home after work. No idea why but I just haven't been into work this week at all. Hopefully it is just this week as I do have lots to do, just no desire to do any of it, and I am really missing my bed right now ...

[woody73]

Do we need to get shots for this cruise?
Ask Ian about shots.

Woody

[lillygator]

I know you all think I am stupid, silly, etc..

I am 33 and I will never be able to grasp weather that is not my native FL weather. I LOVE looking at the great pics of snow and what I would dream of a white xmas...

[lillygator]

John will go where I say, and I say......ANNE of Green Gables next. She is my kindred spirit.

[woody73]

You should check with Karen/been2marceline. She was going on this cruise but had to cancel. She's still supplying us with the champagne for our champagne girls tasting. Here's her website: http://www.winemiles.com

If you don't see it on the site, I'm sure she has it or can get it. You should definitely give her a try. Oh, and DISers get a 10% discount.[/COLOR]



Very cool!! Thanks for the tip.
We cruised with Karen and Ted (been2marceline) in November, and they are wonderful. They'll take good care of you.

Right before my grandmother passed they had said she was just choosing not to thrive. Very hard to hear but sometimes people get so down they cannot get up again. Only time will tell honestly but I hope for your familys sake that everything works itself out. From your posts I have read Frank has had a bad time of it of late and it has taken it toll on everyone I am sure including him mentally. I have no advice but tons of hugs. :hug:

Even if it's not on their website, it doesn't mean that they don't have it or won't get it. You should try to email them on their site and ask for it. I'm sure they'll get back to you with a reasonable response. Don't forget to mention the DIS.

Bad, bad day here. I really thought 2008 was going to be better but... I got a call from DD this morning that DGD12 was being transported from Salem Kaiser dr office to Dornbecker's Childrens Hospital. She has a very serious case of pneumonia. :sick: The Childrens Hospital is attached to the one DD and I work at by a skybridge so an easy walk over when she arrived. Her right lung is completely full and they were talking about putting in a chest tube, but after a second xray thought that might not be necessary. They have her on a couple of IV antibiotics and we are praying for a quick recovery. She is on oxygen, had a reaction to vancomycin and had to be put on benedryl for that. She is quite the trouper. When they were trying to get an IV in at Kaiser to transport they kept sticking her and she finally said "could you just try a different place?" I spent a bit of time with them, then decided I would go back to work for awhile while the docs worked her up and decided what to do. As I was walking back to my office I got a call on my cell from my sis telling me our cousin had commited suicide this morning. :sad2: This was as huge shock, the last person I would expect this from. His dad (my favorite uncle) has lost 2 wives in the past 5 years and now a child. :sad1: How much loss can one person endure? He can use lots of prayers. He is 82 years old and plans to fly back to Delaware for services. So far no one has been able to say they can go with him. I will talk with DrHug when he gets home and see if I can do a couple of days.

Ok, now I am going to try to catch up on this new thread. I will skip the last 10 pages of the old one.

Hi,
We do have transportation arranged to the airport. Do you think we can check in as soon as we get there, and then take a cab to disneyland?

Airlines normally don't allow check-in until 4 hours before your flight - some have an even shorter check-in time frame.

Must be John. But I think there's another one floating around somewhere too.

One sailed with us in Dec and returned to OR with us. No leaks and he could definately travel back to FL with us.

Winter clothes aren't out here quite yet (not that we ever get anything in the shops for weather like you are having), only light autumn stuff - looks like I am hitting the shops!!!:scared: :scared:

You won't need snow gear in Seattle by April 26. But you do need to bring a jacket. Sweatshirts would be all we would wear, but if you are not used to chilly weather you will probably want a jacket.

I was searching for a few more knit dresses for the cruise (they travel well and expand as you eat your way through the cruise) and I noticed www.coldwatercreek.com has a bunch of good prices on stuff in the outlet section. Also I found a discount code. Coupon Code WXP1482 will take 40% off your order. It works in regular or clearance sections. I found two knit dresses that were $12.99 on sale minus the 40% they became $7.80 each!

Awesome news!!! I know this will sound silly, but that makes my night!!

Frank is terrible. They say he has Failure to Thrive. He has a fever and his blood pressure is about 70/40. He is throwning up and coming out the other end as well. He has had the hiccups since Monday non-stop. They say he is becoming septic, which I am not to sure I understand. They told me the infection is racing though the blood stream. He is weak and miserable.

We had snow on Monday morning, Tuesday night and we are getting more on Thursday night maybe.

Snow? I've heard of that, cold lumpy stuff that comes down from the sky? I'll stick with Sun Diego.

[CameronsDad]

Yes, on the Disney ships, "main" dining is early.... most ships have "main" dining later, and there will be little coupons in your stateroom to let you know what times the dinners are at the different dining rooms.

I wonder if we have a problem then. Ours says "main" dining, but we have been told we have late dining. Guess I better get on the phone to DCL. . . . Never mind, I just checked DCL, and it now says second dinner seating, seems right now.

Also I found a discount code. Coupon Code WXP1482 will take 40% off your order. It works in regular or clearance sections. I found two knit dresses that were $12.99 on sale minus the 40% they became $7.80 each!

There is nothing green in there.

[Making_Memories]

Oh my gosh I think I want this. I can see having parties in the summer with the kids watching movies. Where in the heck whould I set it up though and I would need to buy the projector set up too. Hmm it is $198 at Walmart.com for the inflatable screen.

Yes there is!!! Not dresses but they have some lime green tunics and tees I saw them!

[MrsMork]

Oh my word Angie, that's a lot for one person to deal with in one day. You take a deep breath and stay strong for your loved ones. I'll keep you and them in my prayers and I'm sending you big, big hugs. Keep us updated when you can. Where in Delaware will you be if you do go?

Bear, DE. Not sure where that is, but he worked as an Asst Warden in a Federal Prison in PA, I think. I'll have to look at a map.

I'll have to check again. I need to find something really lime green for Nan.

Just let me know when to be there...tay and I will bring the popcorn!:thumbsup2

[woody73]

I looked to see how much it was and they don't have it. It does have a place where you can email them so they can find it.
Too bad they don't stock it, but I'll bet they can get it.

Karen and Ted are wonderful, and we'll miss them on this cruise. Please let them know Woody and Mrs. Woody say hello.

Woody

[MrsMork]

OMG you guys - if you don't mind some pixiedust: from a lurker - your welcome to have mine - I'll send some prayers up high to see if they help. I agree with Mrs Mork - no one should have to deal with all this in one day.

Here's hoping tomorrow brings just a little ray of sunshine.

:flower3:

Thank you all for the kind thoughts, prayers and hugs. :grouphug:

That's not far from the PA border.....it's outside of Wilmington just southeast of Newark. Everything is relative, but that's not far from me. I'm probably one and a half to two hours from there. If you do go and you need a shoulder for support, you just let me know and I'll come down there to meet you.

[Making_Memories]

Oh they don't have anything really bright just regular lime green!

Hmmm that is intriguing. I have the projector already. The only problem here is that when it is warm enough to go outside at night, it is summer, and then it doesn't get dark enough until after 10pm... Kids will be asleep and in bed.

[woody73]

Hi fellow shopaholic - I'm your brother - err...... sister shopaholic - Laura!

We started a shopaholic support group on another thread I'm on. Are you starting one here too?
Oh, no! I'm leaving all shopping issues -- good or bad -- to Ian.

Woody

[Making_Memories]

Just let me know when to be there...tay and I will bring the popcorn!:thumbsup2

LOL I would have to find somewhere to put it or move to have a place. I think I may be moving in the next year so I will have to plan having enough room for these wild parties I wish to throw!

[gaylean93]

Oh they don't have anything really bright just regular lime green!

I want something florescent!

[gaylean93]

Too bad they don't stock it, but I'll bet they can get it.

I'll do that. My DH wants to know if you guys will be at the meet in April.

Well you could use it for grown up parties too! I would come by if I didn't live in Northern California. :lmao:

[Captain Jon Sparrow]

I'll do that. My DH wants to know if you guys will be at the meet in April.

I'll be there!

[gaylean93]

I'll be there!

We will see you there. Our annual passes expired so we won't be as tired this time!

[gaylean93]

OMG Jon is my DH and we are talking to each other right now.

[ozdisneyfan]

You won't need snow gear in Seattle by April 26. But you do need to bring a jacket. Sweatshirts would be all we would wear, but if you are not used to chilly weather you will probably want a jacket.

thankyou so much for letting me know!!:flower3:

Also, my thoughts and prayers for your granddaughters swift recovery and my deepest sympathies for your loss of your cousin. Sometimes I wonder what God is thinking!!!:hug:

[taysmom]

Too funny...can't just look across the room...;)

[taysmom]

Marr ...where r u moving too...not too far I hope..

[gaylean93]

Too funny...can't just look across the room...;)

He was trying to trick me but it didn't take long to figure it out because he always says "but you have heard of me".

[calmom]

Great Pics Deborah.....tell Ian we said happy 40th birthday!

I'm sure he and the whole family is going to love having the verandah to sit out on for this trip......especially PC crossing day.

Ditto! Great photos. Lisa

[Captain Jon Sparrow]

Sorry I can't play...there's a Woot OFF!!!!!

[Making_Memories]

Marr ...where r u moving too...not too far I hope..


Most likely in the same town as my parents so not really any further away just a little different direction. I have to prepare for the future and the kids will not be attending junior high or high school in my town!

[Making_Memories]

Have you really spent so much time here he had to make a screen name to talk to you? LMAO He must think we kidnapped you. :lmao:

[woody73]

Oh oh! Am I in trouble?

Woody

[gaylean93]

I did ask him if he needed attention but he said no. I'm pretty annoying so I think he is happy I have something else. It was really funny though.

[Captain Jon Sparrow]

Have you really spent so much time here he had to make a screen name to talk to you? LMAO He must think we kidnapped you. :lmao:

Just because she spends more time on this site than in her real life doesn't mean she's been kidnapped! Altough I was thinking about calling those guys from "Without a Trace."

[gaylean93]

Oh oh! Am I in trouble?

Woody

Why you aren't coming?

[Captain Jon Sparrow]

Oh oh! Am I in trouble?

Woody

As long as you guys keep her company on the cruise and out of my hair; no ones in any trouble!

[Making_Memories]

Sorry I can't play...there's a Woot OFF!!!!!

Hey I know............. but I already have a gps waiting on the next item!

[Making_Memories]

There's a Woot off?


www.woot.com watch for it on your bank statements!!!!

[Making_Memories]

So weird. I hope I didn't say anything bad. He knows he doesn't pack for himself, can you think of anything else?


Hmm well we won't tell him anything! :laughing:

[gaylean93]

Hey, I have been packing! And I did cook tonight!

[gaylean93]

You are as crazy as us. BTW I have to call Bec and tell her.

[gaylean93]

Hmm well we won't tell him anything! :laughing:

[Making_Memories]

What's wrong with the schools?

Well I think the schools in my town are crappy. very high drop out rates and all the suburban wanna be gangster kids drive me nuts. Even the middle class kids wanna cause problems and try to look like something out of a rap video. :rotfl2: Just very "ghetto" especially considering the area is not bad at all. Don't get me wrong I am young, far from uptight and into the urban scene but when it comes to my kids I am going to try and shelter them and get them the best possible education I can.

My daughter is very quiet usually and more of a follower at this point in life. I do not want her following the wrong crowd in the wrong direction. I can't hold her hand forever but if I can at least have her in a school where 99% do finish school and most go on to college at least if she follows along she can't do too bad I hope. :scared:

[taysmom]

Too too funny...don't worry jon, we'll keep her outta your hair...for a DOD perhaps?????

hahahaha

[LisaG520]

Yes there is!!! Not dresses but they have some lime green tunics and tees I saw them!

I found a lime green t-shirt dress there :thumbsup2

[taysmom]

I feel ya marr..you know my situation..my kid will keep me in debt all the way thru private high school...

[Making_Memories]

Just because she spends more time on this site than in her real life doesn't mean she's been kidnapped! Altough I was thinking about calling those guys from "Without a Trace."

No really we hold her here against he will. She is always saying how she should go and sleep or eat etc....and we always say NO. :thumbsup2

[Making_Memories]

As long as you guys keep her company on the cruise and out of my hair; no ones in any trouble!

:rotfl2: and what will you be doing on the cruise all alone then?

[LisaG520]

We'll be there!

He may have to splurge on something more expensive. :lovestruc and my bananas still aren't dancing :confused:

[Making_Memories]

It's funny when I use the word woot around other "normal" people they always say whats a WOOT? :rotfl:

[Captain Jon Sparrow]

hahahaha

If she has too many DOD's than you may ship her back, but I'm down to pay out a DOD!

[gaylean93]

:rotfl2: and what will you be doing on the cruise all alone then?

He'll be right with us. I need someone to carry those cases of wine!

[gaylean93]

I found a lime green t-shirt dress there :thumbsup2

Are you a size 4 or 6?!?!?!?

[Making_Memories]

I feel ya marr..you know my situation..my kid will keep me in debt all the way thru private high school...

YUP I know and agree 100% with you and your plan too. I would rather make a big investment now in my kids then pay the price later in life.

[gaylean93]

No really we hold her here against he will. She is always saying how she should go and sleep or eat etc....and we always say NO. :thumbsup2

Because everyone loves Gaylean.

Wow, sounds like our area and my daughter too. I have been ok with the schools through elementary, but our district is falling apart. There is a small private school in the town next to ours that I hope I can get the girls into in 2009. I promised Jaide she could stay at her school through 5th grade so she could finish up there with her friends, but there is no way she'll be going to middle school here....just too much drama, drugs, alcohol and such. She to is a follower....

She my have had too many DOD's already because the bananas are dancing here too!
