12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 8

[lillygator]

wow - the hospital that administered the wrong dose of medications on three newborns killing them, just administered a wrong dose of painkillers on an 18 year old mother to be in for an induction.

Scary!

[bubbasmom99]

Joy and Tana will appriecate this...

I FINISH MY FIRST CJ CIRCLE TODAY! And it was a DIS DCL CJ, we had 8 members and we are only one month behind, woo hoo. It was a blast, I have signed up for a second DIS CJ and really find that it makes me scrap instead of thinking about or just shopping for scrapping, lol

Pj

That is great! I gave up on my CJ... out of 12 people, we had 2 go MIA almost immediately, and a couple others who decided not to return CJs once we decided to end the group early. Out of everyone, I think not even half got their CJs back. How pathetic is that?? (DisneyFreakJackie didn't get hers back, and that sucks because she does such great work in everyone else's book!)

[BuzzBoyMom]

wow - the hospital that administered the wrong dose of medications on three newborns killing them, just administered a wrong dose of painkillers on an 18 year old mother to be in for an induction.

Scary!


I read an article that it was the doctor's fault...but did the doctor write the wrong scrip or did the nurse program the machine incorrectly. I read that the machine was programmed to put out pain meds in 1 hour when they were supposed to be dispersed over 10 hours. Yikes!

[MrsMork]

My aunt had hers delayed for a payed in full vacation. It really wasn't a big deal.
Jury duty can be delayed here for vacation also.

[BuzzBoyMom]

Alright fellow creative Disers...need your help...

A friend of mine's parents will be having their house destroyed since the kind State of PA is taking over the land for a highway. They live near Philly. She is looking for an idea of what they can take/do as a keepsake from the house before it gets destroyed.

I mentioned take window moulding/doorframe moulding and create either a picture frame or mirror.

Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!

[MrsMork]

wow you are brave!

I took the girls to Chuck E Cheese once for a birthday party, I was alone....and OMG. They needed some kind of drug for the parents at the door. I have not heard so much screaming and carrying on in my life. I was so worn out at the end and the girls were just raring to go!
Hate Chuck E Cheese. That rat scares me. Almost as bad as math! ;)

[lillygator]

Lisa - on our cruise website....precruise plans section...we are actually arriving on the 7th, MVMCP that night and staying at the Poly. :)

are we (anyone) meeting at the party? You'll get to meet my zany Drama Queen sister (among a few others I am sure) I think my mom and Grandma are crashing our good times as well. But my mom is staying through the 10th...so maybe some alone time out!

[MrsMork]

wow - the hospital that administered the wrong dose of medications on three newborns killing them, just administered a wrong dose of painkillers on an 18 year old mother to be in for an induction.

Scary!
That is scary. Wow! three deaths and still making same errors.

[Jhalkias]

I don't hear a tiny implication that we don't "work" do I? :teeth: Technically, I did put in over 40 hours a week on PTO business last year.

Now Lisa would I EVER imply that? ;)

Ooh I almost forgot - DD loved her first iceskaing session. She and DH unfortunately did have a bit of a commotion en route to the rink. He hit something (thinks the manhole cover was off in the street) but what ever it was ripped the tire to shreds. He was fortunately by the rink when it happened to he could get into it and call AAA. Another unfortunate mark to replace the Saturn sooner vs. later (bummer) and reminds me that since it has a donut on it I will probably need to drop DH off at the train station...
OK - really got to get to sleep then....

So glad your dd is enjoying ice skating! Last year my oldest took a class, so my ds4 (3 at the time) just skated around the other end of the rink with the training thing. He picked it up quite a bit faster, I think it was better to start him so young and with a big snowsuit for padding so he wasn't afraid of falling! There are little 2 year olds out there whizzing around. Now I take them to open skate as much as I can. I do not enjoy it at all but they sure love it and I'd rather be skating around then sitting on the bench watching them and freezing my tush off.

I can't believe the tire was ripped to shreds, wow. What a bummer!

[TanaL]

About 3 years ago I had terrible pain in my upper stomach I thought I was dying. Nothing helped, hot, cold. eating, not eating, it just kept getting worse. Finally I had to go to the emergency room and I had pancreatitis(not sure of spelling)... Of course, before the hospital told me I had this they sent me home. They gave me some pain medicine and some Flexall, a muscle relaxer and sent me home. After being home about 1 hour the phone rings, keep in mind it is now 3:00AM, I answer it and it is the Dr from the hospital who proceeds to tell me that I need to come back to the hospital to be admitted. They had released me using someone elses chart, some guy with back spasms, and I had to be admitted since I had pancratitis, thought to be caused by a gallstone.

Needless to say I was a little upset and after having the Flexall that was meant for the guy I had a hard time standing because my muscles were really relaxed!!! Anyway went in and had to have complete "belly rest" for 3 days!! Do you know that every TV show and commercial has food in it! i couldn't even have water, Just IV's.

I was like Carl for the first year. Watched everything I ate, cut out all fat and lost about 60 lbs. Well the memory of the pain has faded, like with childbirth, the reason you have more than one child, and I have gained weight and eat everything in sight!!!

Oh well.. I hope I didn't jinx myself by telling the story!!

What an amazing story Amy! I can't believe they discharged you in error. I have heard of patients getting the wrong medication but not being sent home! Thank goodness they called and admitted the mistake, and the Flexall medication didn't hurt you.

We pirate: in the morning,

:rolleyes1

[TanaL]

Well I am turning in for the night... Morning will be here too soon and I have to get Sophia off to school and finish getting ready to visit St. Paul Minnesota! I will call you, Tana, once I firm my our plans for tomorrow.

yay!!!

That is great PJ!! How cool. Are there pics posted anywhere? I have never done a circle Journal but would love to see it and get some ideas!!!

[pyramid2000]

Now I think even Lisa may admit that trying to work 60 hours a week and being a single parent might just make a teensy difference . . . :rotfl:

It is only 3 days John...and one little girl! :teeth:

Brack, your one man runoff to this pirate made me chuckle, not easy to do on a Monday morning so thank you!

Chuck E Cheese is an evil plot to drive normal parents absolutely insane. I refuse to go there. The two times I have been there have been the worst headaches I have EVER had.

John1

[pyramid2000]

YES!!!! Then you can go on the 12/1/07 cruise! :cool1: :rotfl:

I think that Caroline still hasn't watched DH due to AR being delayed.

Oh don't worry about talking about it because of me. I am not very into it anymore. Got a little crazy! :crazy:

Just give me my AR, Survivor, and GA and I will be happy. :teeth:

[mum of two pirates]

Mrs Mork, I think we are heading to see the big cheese today after school. The boys want the skate shoes and I told them when they went on sale I'd get them, well in yesterdays paper they were on sale so here somes the hour and a half drive to get them.

Caroline, Did you get your package I sent?

[pyramid2000]

Did I read...oh....several hundred pages ago... :rolleyes1 ...that someone took the manifest and the ships layout and put people's name on thier cabin locations?

Just asking b/c I wanted to start to do that but I'm having trouble pulling a readable ships deck layout.

If someone has done that - let me know so I can cross this off my list.

THANKS!!!

I believe PJ did that! :thumbsup2

[pyramid2000]

wow - the hospital that administered the wrong dose of medications on three newborns killing them, just administered a wrong dose of painkillers on an 18 year old mother to be in for an induction.

Scary!

:eek: That is scary!

[tynkerbell]

Well, we aren't watching any of them either - TV for me is either what Sophia is watching (Disney), or Sports.

Unfortunately, Carla has now hooked me on Heroes though . . . however, since I keep forgetting what night it is on, and when, I keep buying episodes on iTunes for my iPod - something I NEVER thought I would do - pay for TV (other than cable that is).

I am very afraid to check out Battlestar Galactica . . . one show a season is enough for me!

John1

The Sci-fi channel reruns Heroes every week. I forget which day though. I believe the first run episodes are on monday (tonight) but our DVR is full at the time it airs so DH set DVR to record the sci fi channel reruns.

[tynkerbell]

DH & all 3 of his brothers have had kidney stones...the youngest was the worst with surgery. He definitely doesn't stop eating chocolate...or drinking caffiene.

DH and I both have had problems with kidney stones. I didn't change a thing either except I do try to drink a lot more water.

The key for me has been to go when they aren't busy... I can take the boys and a a friend for each and it's fine. If we go on a weekend night, we need 1 adult per child just to keep track of them and I get really creeped out thinking of all the germs on the video games!!

[TanaL]

my sister....drives me crazy. Somehow she thinks the whole world is supposed to revolve around HER....

She just called, got her Halloween party tickets and wants to know if I included her and her boyfriend in our dinner plans which I made like 150 days ago. That would be a no dear.

She hung up on me! Brat!

LOL, she hung up on you for not anticipating her plans 150 days ago??

[TanaL]

My grandmother always said, "A shot in the glass is better than one in the __s!"

Live Well - Laugh Often - Love Much

This too should be our Dis Group Motto!!!!

I like shot in the glass better than 1 in the a** for a motto!!

I haven't read the background on the jury duty thing but I can tell you what goes on in Atlanta. If you get Jury duty in DeKalb or Fulton counties (Atlanta), they don't care about childcare, prepaid vacations, work, home, family, jury duty in other locations, or illness you have to show up. There are a few exceptions but they are very restricted. In Gwinnett County, where I live, you can get Jury Duty delayed for up to a year for almost any reason at all just for asking nicely in a letter. I got it delayed once because it was the first week of DD's school and I didn't want to miss it.

[MommyMinnie]

Alright fellow creative Disers...need your help...

A friend of mine's parents will be having their house destroyed since the kind State of PA is taking over the land for a highway. They live near Philly. She is looking for an idea of what they can take/do as a keepsake from the house before it gets destroyed.

I mentioned take window moulding/doorframe moulding and create either a picture frame or mirror.

Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!
It depends on the age of the house. A friend of mine keeps a collection of glass door knobs. Or, she could keep the cabinet hardware in a shadow box.

[TanaL]

here's the tiny violin that was promised to John:

[TanaL]

I had jury duty and I just had to call and pick my own time within the next 6 months. I suppose it depends on your county's rules. I kind of enjoyed jury duty -- I got to talk to adults all day for a change, I got to go out to lunch -- that's a nice change of pace! There were 14 of us that were in a jury pool and had to sit in a small room for an entire afternoon waiting to be interviewed. Most like me were struck down... an attorney used a strike to get rid of us. So the next day we were back in the pool. One gal brought Grey's Anatomy on DVD so we watched that, did a puzzle, and chatted all day. Not a bad day!! After 4 days I was put on call in status and they never called me in. I was disappointed not to be on a case. But the case I was interviewed for was a murder case and could have gone 6 weeks.. that would be too long to have to find babysitters!! Another time they pulled us for another jury pool so we lined up, went through security, yada yada. But the case settled before we even got in the elevator to go upstairs.

yes!
We probably will get to Orlando in the AM sometime that day. I hope to have a nice new phone by then, but the same #!!

[MommyMinnie]

Lisa,
Last year I finished 7 years of not having a "paid" job. I couldn't wait to get back to "work" so I could get some rest! Isn't it funny how non "paid work" stuff can fill your day and burden your life more than "paid work" stuff? The trouble is you can't leave it at work because it is at home with you!

But, The school was lucky to have you there for PTO. It sounds like the current president is leaning extra heavy on you this year too. I hope you are pacing yourself.

On the types of stones that are produced calcium something or other. I'll find the paper. Anyway most of DH's diet is on it. He used to eat a peanutbutter sandwich everyday, have tea and chocolate. All of those things are on the list of HIGH producers.

Peanut butter is on the list? I remember the tea and chocolate on there. I believe cola and apple juice were also on the list. There are some things you'd never suspect.

[lillygator]

I went to the gym for lunch and wow is it nice out!! I miss my w/o buddy, the time goes much quicker when you have someone to gab with. Had to watch the view...man I've read Rosie took it over and she really has....

[tynkerbell]

I love jury duty and always hope that I get called!! It just seems that most times I get called we are going on vacation and I have to be excused! Alathough the last time I went I was in the courtroom but never made it to the jury box and another time I sat all day waiting to be called and the defendent ended up taking a deal at the last minute.

I have a question... if you're called to jury duty when you have a vacation scheduled will they excuse you? I've never had to deal with this type of situation.

[tynkerbell]

Chuck E Cheese is an evil plot to drive normal parents absolutely insane. I refuse to go there. The two times I have been there have been the worst headaches I have EVER had.

I hate that place with a passion!!! I'm glad my kids are now getting older to where their friends are less likely to have b-day parties there.

[87Heel]

We started out today in Louisville, KY and drove up through Cinncinati & Columbus, OH, Wheeling, WV, Washington, PA down the PA Turnpike then down to Hagerstown, MD on to home. We tried to wave in each town to our DISFriends.:wave:
That's neat! And you did it without becka's map!
But that's quite a drive for one day (but I guess you're a determined driver.)

gosh - the boards seem really slow...or is it my connections?!!

And where is everyone?

[87Heel]

Ooh what is that Amy? if it involves a sapphire I am ALL over that ring. :rolleyes1
I had the perfect 15th anniversary ring/mom ring planned when I was pregnant with DS. My first two kids are September and April (sapphire and diamond). DS was due Sept 10, so another sapphire. Beautiful 3-stone ring, right. Both girls were late, induced, and the due date of the 10th for the third should have been a safe bet, right? Count on the boy to mess up MY plan. Walt chose to be born at 9:30 pm on Aug 31, so no sapphire for him. (And sorry, I don't like the August peridot birthstone!)

[ds2Mom]

Extra lobster, MMMMM good

So, we have you, Angie, me for any extra lobster tails we can find. Any other takers? :goodvibes

[klineyqueen]

I also wanted to do jury duty. I never had the chance yet, but I want to. Always cancelled or excused before. Call me crazy, but I think he it would be very interesting. My mom has been too many times to count. She always gets picked! :crazy:
I was called and picked for a jury. It was all rather boring.

[ds2Mom]

Maybe you should come to my church...the sermons are wonderful. I would feel like I missed something if I didn't listen! ;)

That's how it used to be at our church. Then the Pastor we loved left for another church. We just got a new one and (sorry God), he's a bit too "glib" for my tastes.

I probably just lost my corner suite in Heaven, didn't I? ::yes::

[klineyqueen]

Gosh....ever since Date Night...you just keep wanting to be with that DH. He's getting in the way of Dis-bonding!!! ;)
What can I say....I like being around my DH!

[klineyqueen]

will Santa Claus 3 be on our ship?
and they will be playing Pirates 2 right?
I was thinking that Santa Claus 3 will be showing.

[klineyqueen]

and Desperate Housewives is so not meeting my expectations this year. I wish Six Feet Under were still on and SATC.
What happened to all the juicy stuff? Was it too much for regular TV?
I agree. DH is not very exciting this season.

[ds2Mom]

...Everyone this week should make sure they have all of their birth certificates and/or passports.

Great reminder! :thumbsup2

We all have passports. Had to get DS10's renewed a few months ago. Decided to do it early and man, am I glad I did. For whatever reason, it took forever to get back!

[klineyqueen]

Hate Chuck E Cheese. That rat scares me. Almost as bad as math! ;)
We had the best time there that I have ever had at Chuck E Cheese. We arrived at 10 AM and ordered our Pizza for 11:15. We were literally the only people there. The next family came in when we were eating!!!!! Our kids had the entire place to themselves! They had a blast running around and playing.

[ds2Mom]

I was thinking that Santa Claus 3 will be showing.

I wish they'd show both POTC1 pirate: and POTC2. pirate: pirate:


We should definitely see Santa Claus 3, maybe Cars will be on, too.


They do have that phone # you can call ahead of time and find out what's scheduled.

[MrsMork]

I went to the gym for lunch and wow is it nice out!! I miss my w/o buddy, the time goes much quicker when you have someone to gab with. Had to watch the view...man I've read Rosie took it over and she really has....
And I have not watched it since! :rolleyes:

See I forgot you were discussing Desperate Housewives and I thought you were talking about Jason here for a second and right after she just said she liked spending time with him too. :lmao:

[MrsMork]

I have a question... if you're called to jury duty when you have a vacation scheduled will they excuse you? I've never had to deal with this type of situation.
they will here. In our county you are called for a 3 month period. At the orientation day you give them dates you are not available. If you are not available most of that time (i.e. surgery scheduled or something) then they would not excuse you, but would delay it to the next 3 month period. By the way, I was just on a jury and I will not do it again. I will say whatever it takes to get out of the jury box. :sad2:

[becka]

Great reminder! :thumbsup2

We all have passports. Had to get DS10's renewed a few months ago. Decided to do it early and man, am I glad I did. For whatever reason, it took forever to get back!

I was going to go to the bank over lunch to check on the passports and then last night I remembered that I didn't think I had taken them back after our last cruise. I went to my planning folder and there they were. DH was MAD at me! :furious: However, at least I now know for sure where they are! :thumbsup2

[bubbasmom99]

<sigh>

Is it December yet?????


ETA: mini pirate:

[ds2Mom]

:lmao: :rotfl2: This is funny! I let DrHug do his own packing for a trip once. We wound up at Walmart in Washington State buying new jeans, pants and unties for him. :rotfl2: ;)

This is SO my DH! Every now and then before a trip, he'll decide he wants to take back control of HIS packing. :sad2:


I then spend the trip answering "no dear, I didn't bring ______ or ______. You wanted to do your OWN packing, remember?!" :lmao:

[becka]

<sigh>

Is it December yet?????


ETA: mini pirate:

No. :( But we only have 523 days to go until the cruise! :boat:

Oops that was a typo! ;) Didn't mean to give everyone a heart attack. I have a case of sticky keys apparently.

There are only 53 days until we cruise! :boat:

I totally understand. I always wanted a gorgeous family ring -- sapphire, emerald... I got THREE orange topaz and one diamond. No thanks!

[MrsMork]

Oh I don't think so. I've never read that being honest about a pastor's ability would affect which suite you get. :)

Did the rat show up?

[ds2Mom]

I will say this. Right before we left for our last cruise there were at least 50 empty rooms if I recall correctly (say about a week prior). I got to the check in line by, say 11, and they said there were no upgrades. I don't think they make all the rooms available. :sad2: KWIM?

I've always wondered about this, too.

In March, there were lots of rooms available before we went......no upgrades at the port and we were one of the first ones in the terminal that morning. :confused3

I understand where you are coming from! The pastor prior to the one we have now was so boring it pained me to get through a service! We are very fortunate...we all love our pastor!

[ds2Mom]

It is sad what we will do to get our DIS fix! :sad2:

What?!? We need a DIS fix?!? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[becka]

I also want a mothers ring but I want to make 100% sure there will not be any more kids before I get one. ;)

DS in May so an emerald and DD is January which I believe is garnet so I will have a Christmas colors ring! ;)

[Jhalkias]

I agree. DH is not very exciting this season.

Except on "Date Night"? :confused3

You guys better start using DHW for that show . . . you are confusing us!

[ds2Mom]

Hi Brandi! :wave2:

I do feel bad that I'm not "connecting" with the new Pastor. I know it's the message, not the messenger. But, the message 'aint getting through to me right now. :(

[ds2Mom]

Oh I don't think so. I've never read that being honest about a pastor's ability would affect which suite you get. :)

Thank goodness, 'cause otherwise I'm in for an inside Cat. 13 in Heaven about now.

I am debating about whether to get baskets from Shirley for the kids. I think I am leaning towards getting them. Should I get two small baskets - one for each kid or get one really big one they can share? :scratchin

On our Christmas cruise in 2004, we used Shirley and had a smallish pre-lit Christmas tree sent to our stateroom. It was great and was a wonderful night light for the kids!

[klineyqueen]

Did the rat show up?
Nope! We didn't even have to see the rat!

[klineyqueen]

I also want a mothers ring but I want to make 100% sure there will not be any more kids before I get one. ;)

DS in May so an emerald and DD is January which I believe is garnet so I will have a Christmas colors ring! ;)
I was going to post the same thing as soon as I was done catching up! Although I am 100% sure there will be no others! ;)
I told DH that I will need a christmas ring! But you knew that...right twin!

[lillygator]

9 more sleeps for me....:)

My darling sister called me back. She made reservations at Tony's and since she knew my phone number she had full access to my dining reservations!!! Luckily the CM said it would be up to me to add her....could you image the damage someone could do? And it wasn't like she faked being me - she told them she was my sister.

[klineyqueen]

Except on "Date Night"? :confused3

You guys better start using DHW for that show . . . you are confusing us!

John1
Sorry John! I will say again...my DH is awesome but DHW not doing it for me!

[lbgraves]

Thanks....I don't think it will be too bad...at least I hope not!!!

You are a proper Diser...making your kids get their own food!!! :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2:

Yes & Yes. :thumbsup2

wow - the hospital that administered the wrong dose of medications on three newborns killing them, just administered a wrong dose of painkillers on an 18 year old mother to be in for an induction.

Scary!

OMG! I hadn't heard about that. :(

Do we seem like unstable individuals to you? :rotfl: :banana: :confused3

Nah.

Hi Brandi! :wave2:

I do feel bad that I'm not "connecting" with the new Pastor. I know it's the message, not the messenger. But, the message 'aint getting through to me right now. :(
Hi Charlotte!

Our old Pastor spoke so slowly it was killing me to listen to him. Nick (our current and awesome pastor) is awesome. He and his DW were taking ballroom dance lessons. This past sermon he was doing the waltz (alone) and saying that is how many people move through life...they just try and glide along. Then he started to do the tango and he said that God wants us to be bold like the way you dance the tango. There were many other points but that was the best!

I realized I only represent DH as this person who thinks this side of me is nuts. He is actually such a sweetheart. He just brought up a lemon square for me. He just made them this evening. He cooks by the way. I do not. Well I could but he's better at it and he actually LIKES it.

Can I clone your DH? :lmao:

[lbgraves]

Now Lisa would I EVER imply that? ;)

I didn't think so, John. :rotfl:

[pjpoohbear]

Did I read...oh....several hundred pages ago... :rolleyes1 ...that someone took the manifest and the ships layout and put people's name on thier cabin locations?

Just asking b/c I wanted to start to do that but I'm having trouble pulling a readable ships deck layout.

If someone has done that - let me know so I can cross this off my list.

THANKS!!!

Done, you will get a copy at the terminal. :surfweb: .

Samantha's is Opal, Haley's is Amethyst - love that one! My grandma had huge superstitions about opal's, can't remember what exactly....but instead of opal they now do some pink thing which I don't care for.....and my birthstone = yuck! topaz/citrine....

I don't have lots of jewels....but diamonds, dark blue (black) sapphires and tanzanite are my favorites.

That is great! I gave up on my CJ... out of 12 people, we had 2 go MIA almost immediately, and a couple others who decided not to return CJs once we decided to end the group early. Out of everyone, I think not even half got their CJs back. How pathetic is that?? (DisneyFreakJackie didn't get hers back, and that sucks because she does such great work in everyone else's book!)


We had two groups and the main 12 person group is having just awful times too, some books haven't been moved since the spring. And to not get your own book back, just bad CJing, and I am a rookie. I hear that mine is on it's way back to me next week, I will take pics and post them on my .mac account. I hadn't seen a cj since July and was really getting worry, but they started moving again in September and now we have finished up.

Did you join the 2006/2007 Cj, I am in the second group of that CJ?

Oh busted... DH just came upstairs...He "sent her up at 7:30 - why is she still up". because your wife is addicted ADDICTED I tell you. In her masd quest to catch up she has ignored everyone and everything. DD can stay up until 10P sure that's fine - gotta read gotta read. Doesn't anyone understand I can't be behind any more than I am........ Gotta Go. He just asked whether I put her clothes out for tomorrow. May I say I HATE it when he's an adult I mean COME ON!! I'm an adult 24/7 7 days a week is it okay to break tradition for 30...uhm 60...okay 90 minutes!!!??? It's just so terribly unfair.... :rolleyes1

This was me yesterday afternoon.

I'd snuck back in (library) to catch up on posts. DH was taking the boys to their baseball games and I was going to meet them at the ball fields. I get a call on my cell from DH saying "Where are you? Aren't you coming to their games?"

(No dear, I'm STILL catching up on my DIS addiction. I'll be there in a minute, thank you very much.)

Jeez, it wasn't like I was missing their WEDDING or something!

And you'll be happy to know I got there with one whole minute to spare! :rotfl:

[klineyqueen]

My engagement ring is just a plain stone (I love it don't get me wrong) but I told DH for our 10 year anniversary I want a wrap.

I also want a mothers ring..but like I said before...I don't know if I want a Christmas ring!

[lbgraves]

Lisa,
Last year I finished 7 years of not having a "paid" job. I couldn't wait to get back to "work" so I could get some rest! Isn't it funny how non "paid work" stuff can fill your day and burden your life more than "paid work" stuff? The trouble is you can't leave it at work because it is at home with you!

But, The school was lucky to have you there for PTO. It sounds like the current president is leaning extra heavy on you this year too. I hope you are pacing yourself.

Not really. :) She bounces ideas off me since noone else has organized a carnival there. I am saying no way to some stuff & she is a friend so is fine if I don't want to do anything.

[kimerinc]

From everything that I have seen posted on the main board, he could get jury duty delayed with a non refundable cruise.

I have never been called for Jury duty.

[kimerinc]

Now I think even Lisa may admit that trying to work 60 hours a week and being a single parent might just make a teensy difference . . . :rotfl:

John,

It's ok, I understand. DH is leaving for a week again tommorow. I am getting pretty good at this single parent gig though. The trick is to never sleep and only use the restroom at work so you can focus soley on her at home.

[pjpoohbear]

That is great PJ!! How cool. Are there pics posted anywhere? I have never done a circle Journal but would love to see it and get some ideas!!!

Tana it was my first CJ, I did it because I still had 12 long months (started with 23 months,) until the cruise and needed something to do, and what a great way to use up my paper scrapping supplies (heading to digital soon.) I will take pics of CJ when it come home next week!

I should have taken pics, of my pages in other's books, as I went along, but hated my camera at the time and always finished late at night, too tired to snap pics.

No haha! They are a single parent family with 9 kids. The dad died in 1992. They are from Tonga and the run a catering truck that does polynesian food at all the fairs and football games. They are on 2 private yachts cruising the virgin islands.

wow - bummer on that. Actually I think she may have only charged me for one even though I had three baskets, two for the girls and one for DH.....although the one for DH was signed SANDY....I thought that was very funny!

[ds2Mom]

I read an article that it was the doctor's fault...but did the doctor write the wrong scrip or did the nurse program the machine incorrectly. I read that the machine was programmed to put out pain meds in 1 hour when they were supposed to be dispersed over 10 hours. Yikes!

So sad and scary.

A few years ago, I had to have foot surgery and the doctor actually wrote ON my leg with a sharpie pen "THIS LEG".

I kid you not. :sad2:

[lillygator]

I miss SATC, too!

I miss it alot, and the reruns on TBS just don't cut it. Some of the bad language and risque content is imperative to the funny factor. I mean, quite a bit of Samantha's words are cut out and sometimes they so make the scene.

Alright fellow creative Disers...need your help...

A friend of mine's parents will be having their house destroyed since the kind State of PA is taking over the land for a highway. They live near Philly. She is looking for an idea of what they can take/do as a keepsake from the house before it gets destroyed.

I mentioned take window moulding/doorframe moulding and create either a picture frame or mirror.

Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!


When this happened to my Grandparent's barn (on a farm that was being taken for highway), we saved some of the weathered barn wood. My Dad still has it at home in HIS barn just waiting for me to make it into something, someday.

Get the whole family in front of the house for a group picture, then frame it in wood from the house? Too weird?

I talked to my BF today... she and her family cruised in June and were going to rebook onboard but didn't. She tells me the CM said that I could rebook for her on our cruise if she changes her mind and get the 10% off and stateroom credit. So BF wants to give me a check for the deposit and have me book another cruise for her. Is this really possible? I thought if you didn't rebook while you were there you are out of luck on receiving the discounts? Anyone here know? :confused3

[becka]

What's for dinner tonight?

I need to run to Wal-Mart after work so I guess I am picking up groceries there as well since I don't want to make two stops. So that means DH is picking up the kids and by the time I get home they will be starving so I will probably just have him pick up McD's for the kids on the way home for them. I may just eat a Lean Cuisine or something later.

I love so many of them....the first season, where Carrie narrated alot kind of drove me wild.

But I love when Big went to Paris to sweep Carrie off her feet!


Love Smith too!

O.K. - pardon me, but I'm going to whine for a minute.

I WANT MY COMPUTER BACK! :furious:

There, I feel much better! Don't know if it's the DIS or the Library's computers, but it's taking forever to post. The keyboard keeps freezing up, then I get "server is too busy" messages. Must be a hint to get outta here.


But, before I go.....one of my all-time favorite SATC episodes was when Carrie goes to Mr. Big's apartment, discovers he's leaving NYC and moving to Napa, she makes fun of his taste in music, he plays "Moon River" on the stereo, she says it's corny, he says it's classic. They go on a last NYC "date" -- carriage ride through Central Park, Big says it's corny, Carrie says it's classic. Same episode where Miranda has her baby. Carrie tries to get back in time to say a last goodbye and he's already gone. She walks into an empty room and finds he's left her the Henry Mancinni album and a 1st Class plane ticket to CA. :sad:

Of course, the "go get our girl/find her in Paris" episode is right up there! :thumbsup2

Well, I'm all ferklempt. Time to go. Catch up with you all tomorrow! :wave2:

[brack]

that is what they do here...DH had knee surgery earlier in the year and they marked it with him awake and he initialed it as well.


I also painted his toes on the leg in question the night before just to be sure his memory was working!

Right before my hip replacement last year I had to mark my hip and initial it. I liked doing that!

[becka]

I have been trying to plan my meals for this next week and the only things that sound good are not WW friendly. :( I really need to find some new exotic way to cook vegetables where they taste good. :sad2:

[kimerinc]

Todd,

An update just for you. MY FLAGS ARRIVED TODAY! I have 2 for my balcony. Ready to go CJS!

[TanaL]

Someone I know once tried to make spaghetti in her microwave....including boiling the water. :rolleyes1


(Hey, the microwave was brand new, it came with a cookbook, there was a recipe for spaghetti....seemed like a good idea at the time.)


LOL.. just someone you know?!

[brack]

Can you guys hit the milestone in the next 20-25 minutes or so? ;) A challenge! :rotfl:

Not at this rate ......

[becka]

So you need a co-pilot with an internet-enabled cell phone (but even then the coverage in the tunnel is questionable!)

:rotfl:

I do have to say that I thought Internet on a phone was just the strangest most unuseful thing I could ever imagine. Now I am starting to feel like not only is it useful but that it may soon be a requirement!

I am a sick person! :lmao:

[TanaL]

Tana -- That is so cool! :thumbsup2

thank you!! :sunny:

[brack]

Are the boards painfully slow for everyone else as well or am I just being punished? :lmao:

I thought it was my connection here at the office.

[brack]

What's for dinner tonight?

SUBWAY .... eat fresh!

[becka]

SUBWAY .... eat fresh!

I love Subway and it can be so WW friendly. You know there is a Subway near Wal-Mart maybe I should pick me up a sub on my way home. I even have enough points left over that I could splurge and get a foot long. :thumbsup2

[ds2Mom]

LOL.. just someone you know?!

Nah, never heard of her. Probably some whacko that spends most of her waking hours at the Library to feed an online addiction! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Man, I'm gonna miss the next milestone! Try to keep it under 39,000 before tomorrow! :surfweb:

[becka]

Well from the looks of it you guys will hit 38,000 while I am on my way or at Wal-Mart. :sad2: Do you think they have an Internet connection in the computer department I could use? :lmao:

[brack]

OK I give up! Someone will have to pirate: the next major milestone. I can not spend the night in the office. Everyone else is gone!

I'll check to see the sneeky pirate: when I get home.

[tynkerbell]

Are the boards painfully slow for everyone else as well or am I just being punished? :lmao:

Painfully slow for me today also. :crazy:

[lillygator]

the day has been painfully slow for me. :(

[MrsMork]

hmm....mother's ring or diamonds? I'll take diamonds.


Samantha's is Opal, Haley's is Amethyst - love that one! My grandma had huge superstitions about opal's, can't remember what exactly....but instead of opal they now do some pink thing which I don't care for.....and my birthstone = yuck! topaz/citrine....

I don't have lots of jewels....but diamonds, dark blue (black) sapphires and tanzanite are my favorites.
I recall some superstition about opals. I think you are not supposed to buy one for yourself, only should get them as a gift. Now I am not sure what was supposed to happen to you if you did buy yourself one.

[TanaL]

I was kind of concerned about having only one bucket. I guess I could always pack a small one.

I wonder if she could stack 2 buckets?

[lillygator]

I wonder if she could stack 2 buckets?

that's a great idea....Becka I bet you could just pay for an additional bucket within a bucket!

[tynkerbell]

SUBWAY .... eat fresh!

Mmmm, I love subway. That was our lunch yesterday. :)

[lillygator]

alright - I am going to do something constructive with the kids until bedtime! Maybe run them up and down the road to wear them out!

[tynkerbell]

I wonder if she could stack 2 buckets?

That's a wonderful idea!! I bet Shirley would do that for you. :thumbsup2

[kimerinc]

I ran again this morning and I feel like the living dead today. I just want to put my head down on the desk and close my eyes! I can barely keep my eyes open! I have tried rootbeer jelly beans, but no luck. I have my huge Diet Coke, nothing... Um this wasn't this hard 7 years ago. Is this an age thing? I thought after 2 weeks you were not supposed to be sore anymore. Is is that I have more stuff moving around than I did 7 years ago? Anyone? Is there enough ibuprofen at the grocery store for me today? NO!

[MrsMork]

So sad and scary.

A few years ago, I had to have foot surgery and the doctor actually wrote ON my leg with a sharpie pen "THIS LEG".

I kid you not. :sad2:
They do that now with the patient awake and aware, just to be sure. :thumbsup2

Did you get enough sleep last night? Have you eaten enough today? Sometimes when you work out and don't eat enough you can become fatigued.

Maybe try a multivitamin... could need more B vitamins or iron.

[tynkerbell]

I am getting so excited and antsy now that the cruise is less than 2 months away!! :yay: :yay: :yay:

Another silly from the Morkerts...DrHug had a quad bypass and when they came to take him to surgery my BIL put a sticky note on his forehead that said "cut here". :lmao: :rotfl2: The surgeon had a great sense of humor and thought that was very :rotfl:

Only 6 hours last night. Too much laundry! Had a great salad for lunch and of course my little jelly bellies.... Probably ate too much salad. It was from Cafe Rio. Do you all have those there?

Never heard of Cafe Rio.

[tynkerbell]

Ok, who's responsible for passing around that virus? I think I'm getting sick. :(

[tynkerbell]

Close to a big milestone and no one posting??!! :confused3

[MrsMork]

No Cafe Rio here that I know of

[87Heel]

No Cafe Rio here that I know about...

[MrsMork]

I was so busy, back to back patients from 11 to 2. At 2:15 I just told the clerks that I am NOT available for the next half hour. I had to get some food in me. Oatmeal for lunch for me today. :sad2:

[MrsMork]

My lunch is over. No way I can stick around for the milestone. Have fun with it. :surfweb:

[87Heel]

Working on some homemade chicken noodle soup here... no bad colds, but everyone's a little sniffly because the nighttime temps are cold!

[tynkerbell]

DH felt blah all weekend. DD woke up with a sore throat today and I feel congested and blah. I guess the silver lining is that hopefully we're getting the illnesses over and done with before december. ;)

Well that's wishful thinking! Way to be positive! You go girl!

[kimerinc]

Did everyone's internet go out?

[kimerinc]

Y'all better hurry. Becka will be back from Walmart and Brack will be out of the tunnel.

[kimerinc]

Just keep posting, just keep posting....

Oh when the saints, go marching in, oh when the geeks go marching in...

Hey Kristina,

Think we can get there before anyone else gets on?

[elaineteresa]

if your kids are anything like mine, you better get two!


Vanessa and all - can you help me with the basket issue too - I'm not that into getting al ot of food items and candy since we will be eating all week. What else would be fun and practical for the ship?

Lisa had said before that Shirley will do just about anything but I don't even know what to ask for. Are there sand toys available at CC or should we get them in the baskets?

thanks.

There will still be a band on the Magic.

1 day down..... 1 witch to fry in a half hour....

So sad and scary.

I kid you not. :sad2:
My dad had knee surgery and he wrote on the good leg..."not this one the other one." He wasn't told to he just did it on his own!

Please not let me go to h-e-double hockeysticks for calling a catholic school parent a witch....

[klineyqueen]

They had so many people volunteer to help they had to cap it at 8,500. All the roads are blocked of and the bus is here.
I think I missed something while reading the posts...what is going on Kim?

She offered me all kinds of choices I had not even considered when I called. DD is getting crayons and coloring books and lip gloss and glitter and on and on.... Call them they were GREAT!!!! She offered popcorn and pretzles and all kinds of candy but DD is not big on food at all. She is putting the sand toys in, beach towels, sun block, etc...

[goofyforlife]

IT's TYE brandi :rolleyes1

[klineyqueen]

OK, Finally figured out, Sex and the City.

It is like doing crosswords trying to decode this stuff.

And Kim - how cool is that to have the bus there? I DID used to watch that show. It did bring tears to my eyes sometimes.

Amy will probably ask if you have seen Tye with his shirt off!

Okay..now I know what is going on near Kim. That is so cool!!!!!

You are not horrible. And no religion has a copywrite on witches, all have them. Good Luck!!

[klineyqueen]

I miss it alot, and the reruns on TBS just don't cut it. Some of the bad language and risque content is imperative to the funny factor. I mean, quite a bit of Samantha's words are cut out and sometimes they so make the scene.
::yes:: that was a great show!

[goofyforlife]

ahhh got to go to more p/t conferences

[kimerinc]

Yes, extreme home makeover is 6 blocks from me right now!

If we don't hurry and get to the milestone soon, How will I be able to stalk the cast?

Hi Kristina, good to see you again. I got to chat on Friday just as you were leaving.
