"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

[scoutsmom99]

Well I'm glad he is feelling better in some way. Let us know when he has to go in for the cath ablation.

The picture book was really easy to put together! Your mom will LOVE it! It was by far my Grandmother and mom's favorite Christmas gift. I can't tell you how many times I saw them go back and pick it up. While you're at it, get one for you, too! If you go with Snapfish, they will give you 25% off any additional books after you buy one. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Thanks Kimberly I will let everyone know how things go in a couple weeks. I'm going to look into doing a snapfish book for mom as well!

Went in to have my follow on my foot. The bad news is it is still broke No magic healing for me. But the good news is it is healing as expected and I will be almost Good as New in about 4 weeks.

I hope this post finds everyone well and happy in this New Year. I can say how thankful this has made me for all the blessing I have. My life has been good. Lois

Sorry to hear your foot is indeed broken Lois. I hope it heals fast:goodvibes

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow, it looks like Christmas around here. I dont know how much snow is out there, but it keeps coming down too. My roads havent even been plowed. ( I am guessing 6in so far?)

Better you than me. I'm so over winter at this point. They were thinking we were going to have that storm on Friday, but it missed us (YAY!!)!

Howdy all.
Surprisingly, we've had no medical disasters since the kidney issue. In fact, his last surgery was a breeze-- he was on the table for less time than it took to put him under. And also- no more kidney stones as of last ultrasound. The second one is gone.

We're planning a surprise cruise for the kids (can't believe they haven't figured it out yet) for 9/12/09, and as of this moment, I'm still taking the two big kids on the first Med cruise so we can go to Tunisia.

Not too much else, just plodding along.


Glad to hear everyone is doing well Julie!

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for thinking about me while I was having surgery. Right now I'm sitting up but my knee is killing me so I don't know how much longer I'll be able to sit in this position. The surgery was more painful than last time and for the first 24 hours, the pain medicine they gave me didn't even hit the pain. It was horrible! I'm taking perkaset (spelling?) and it seems to be helping but I forgot to take it in the middle of the night so my schedule is all thrown off so I"m in some pain for now.

I"ll try to update ASAP. Please know that I've been thinking about all of you!!!! Thanks again for thinking about me! :)

Amy thanks for checking in. I'm sorry the surgery was more painful this time. I will be keeping you in my thoughts that the pain starts to subside:goodvibes pixiedust: pixiedust:



3. ONLY 3 MORE DAYS TILL WE FIND OUT THE GENDER!!! :banana:

Arin how exciting! My brother and his wife (not the one that got married before the cruise) are expecting a boy at the end of May).

I am *SO* bummed! So are many others here in Columbus. We were suppose to get 6", and we got s slight dusting. Maybe .25" of ice overnight Friday, but it was nothing really. I was *SO* looking forward to having SNOW!

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Just stopping in really quickly to say hi to everyone! Thank you for the well wishes! The knee is getting better. Dave came up last night and spent the night on the aerobed by me while I slept on the sofa. My knee is getting better...slowly but surely. Still taking the pain meds though!

Hope all is well with everyone!!! :)

So Val you really dont like hearing it was in the 80's today here in Cali then huh lol

[TheDisneyGirl02]

So Val you really dont like hearing it was in the 80's today here in Cali then huh lol

The 80's?! LOL! OK...granted I haven't been outside all of that much in the last week, but I can tell you for a fact that it's no where near 80's outside here! LOL!!!! Actually, the low later this week is 0 degrees! Little chilly!

Had physical therapy today...my second session. I even put a little weight on my foot. It's starting to hurt a little now, but the pain is going away slowly everyday.

[Buckeye Gal]

Arin, on the side of my seat waiting to hear about your little peanut! :cloud9: :cutie:

The 80's?! LOL! OK...granted I haven't been outside all of that much in the last week, but I can tell you for a fact that it's no where near 80's outside here! LOL!!!! Actually, the low later this week is 0 degrees! Little chilly!

We finallly got a nice blanket of snow overnight! :goodvibes We'll all be cuddling as the day goes on though. Throughout the day temps are to just go down down down from the current 32 degrees with the Arctic Blast coming in today. Like Amy, we're getting an Alberta Clipper on top of that later, so it will be a high of 10 and 8 Thursday and Friday, respectively, and -2 as a low. BRRRRRRR

Amy, I'm amazed that you're already able to be even the littlest amount of weight on that leg! Let's take that as a good sign!

[Magic3forme]

We got more of the white fluff stuff, and it is still snowing. I am soo ready to move right now to Atlanta..... just ship my stuff later. lol. :)

[Buckeye Gal]

Sorry, Val! I would take it from you if I could!

So is there a date for moving to Atlanta?

[Magic3forme]

we are not moving until the summer, but if this cold weather keeps up..I am ready now. :lmao:

our house goes on the market in March. (and I am no where near being ready for that. lol.) I need to start cleaning/decluttering.... all the fun stuff.

We will be going to Atlanta in April to further house hunt. we now know the area. :)

[TheDisneyGirl02]

How did I miss that you were moving, Val?! I'll blame it on the pain medicine! LOL!!!

[scoutsmom99]

So Val you really dont like hearing it was in the 80's today here in Cali then huh lol
OMg I'm so jealous! When I went out and turned my car on at noon (noon mind you) it was -10 for the actual air temp (so not factoring in the wind)!!!

The 80's?! LOL! OK...granted I haven't been outside all of that much in the last week, but I can tell you for a fact that it's no where near 80's outside here! LOL!!!! Actually, the low later this week is 0 degrees! Little chilly!

[Buckeye Gal]

Lisa, have you recently been visited by the tag fairy? I can't say I noticed the quotes before.

[scoutsmom99]

Nope they are all old from 3 or 4 years ago!

[Buckeye Gal]

LOVING the snow we are getting today! It's so beautiful. Big fluffy flakes! Of course I'm not liking the negative numbers for temperatures that are on their way tonight through Friday night. High tomorrow: 8 degrees!

Nope they are all old from 3 or 4 years ago!

LOL!

I guess you just need to post more often so I pay more attention!

[Buckeye Gal]

We got a wonderful snow storm yesterday! It's our first real snowfall of the season.

However, we're waking up to -3 degrees F this morning. Tomorrow it's to be even worse. Knowing this is around much of the US or on its way to you, be careful out there if you're in this Arctic Blast's way!!

STAY WARM!!

We are in this mess with you. Woke to -4 degrees and our high is expected to be 9 degrees. I don't do real hot but I hate this even more. Please everyone be careful and stay safe. Cold like this can be deadly. Everyone please stay warm and safe. Lois

[Grandma4ever]

Forgot to say that we get all the fidged cold and are not having any snow to make it at least look pretty. Well need to shower and dress in my layer so I can go to work. Lois

[Magic3forme]

Congrats!! My favorite boys names are Jeremy and Shane!

School was cancelled here due to cold weather -2 and then the windchill, but we are headed to an indoor water park...I hope the heat is cranked on in there. :)

So I was trying to price out a 3day kids free just for the heck of it... LOL. Well they have no 4person cabins available... YET I can book 1day for 1 adult and 1 child, then another cabin for 1 adult and 1 child (1P's age and 1 J's age) BUT not together.. thus forfitting the kids free since they charge the 1st and 2nd passanger as an adult LOL... oh well

[Buckeye Gal]

[anc22]

Yeah, Jack is on our short list, I just don't really like it with our last name.

Keep the names coming y'all :thumbsup2

[Grandma4ever]

Yeah, Jack is on our short list, I just don't really like it with our last name.

Keep the names coming y'all :thumbsup2

OK I'll put the name I was going to use if I had had a third child and he was a boy out there. What do you think of Steven or Stephen ? Lois

[TheDisneyGirl02]

IT'S A BOY !!! pirate:

Now we just have to pick a name (I like to let Mike think he has a say ;) )

Any ideas for cute boys names?

Yay!!!! It's a boy!!!! I wanted to check yesterday but it was a crazy day...not busy just strange.

I started out my day by taking a pain pill and then nearly passing out at physical therapy! :scared1: I thought I was going out for sure! It was scary. My therapist even brought over a bucket for me to throw up in just in case...after about 20 minutes, I was able to walk (well, walk/crutch) to the waiting room. My big outing to Wegman's ended at that point. Needless to say I wasn't up to doing anything the rest of the day...not even coming on the Dis! (I know I commited a Dis Sin!!!!)

Now for a name...what about Mickey? Just kidding...hmmm...I'll have to keep thinking. :)

Well, I haven't been outside since yesterday, but I've heard it's very cold outside! Stay warm too!

:)

[anc22]

Well, I think we have picked a name. Those of you who know me, also know that I tend to change my mind (change plans) so who know what name we will end up with but for now it is:

Kade Michael-Bradley

Michael after my hubby and Bradley is my brothers name. Both of my kids have 2 middle names, so I had to do the same with this one. (I think Bradley-Michael flows better, but DH wants his name first ;) )


Drea: Weather in the 80's!!?? I am jealous! Our winter storm passed a couple of weeks ago, but it is still cold. In the 30's at night and 40's during the day.

Those of you in really cold temps: Be careful out there. I love the snow, but I hate the cold!

[anewmac]

Arin I like the name either way. Very cute!

its weird with the warm, weather.. not that im knocking it just were usually not like this. Its normally cold... well for us.. 50-60's (HEY thats cold for us LOL) Have to break out the parkas mittens and ugg boots LOL) Ok more like a hoodie and uggs. But still cold LOL

so ya this warm thing is nice but supposed to be cold again starting this weekend... ok starting to drop is more like it! :)

Wanted to tell you all a funny I had while talking to E. He has Monday off as do most lucky people. Unfortunatly I dont. But im ok with it, he and the boys can bond while my job will be dead and i can just play online and get paid for it.. im ok with that. ANYHOW he was suprized i was working and he said you should just take it off, I said no ill save that for something better... and he goes oh great that means while your dead at work your going to be on the DIS all day searching differnt cruises, vactions, etc... IT really is cheaper for you just to take the day off WITHOUT pay then for you to work and get paid... you will have us book on the 1st Disney plane to the moon LMAO I loved it. Had to share with yall!

[Buckeye Gal]

:cold: OMG...I just stepped out to get the newspaper. It's -13F, windchill of -32. :cold:

Well, I think we have picked a name....
Kade Michael-Bradley

Oh Arin, I love it! I can't believe you came up with such an awesome name 2 days after you learned it's a pirate...not that you weren't thinking about it already, I'm sure, but wow! Another sign of your planning abilities!

...so ya this warm thing is nice but supposed to be cold again starting this weekend... ok starting to drop is more like it! :)

Your DH is soooo funny! I love it!

I can't blame you for enjoying your unseasonal temperatures. I have to say I'm totally cracking up that the UGGS are needed at even 50 degrees!

[TheDisneyGirl02]

:cold: OMG...I just stepped out to get the newspaper. It's -13F, windchill of -32. :cold:


OMG! It was a balmy 11 degrees when I want to physical therapy today! I thought that was bad! Last time I checked it was 9 degrees outside...not too bad! LOL!!!!

[Magic3forme]

Well its only -3 degrees right now, no idea what the windchill is. fun fun fun, I have gotten more emails telling me how cold it is in Atlantar right now...25! well that would be a heat wave compared to this. :rotfl:

Arin: cute name, my friends lil boy is Kade, and he is adorable. :)

The waterpark was great, I didnt have to get wet this time, I was able to just sit and watch and chat with my friend. :)

Dh is getting ready for the big game, he needs to go buy wool socks. The stadium gets awfully chilly. :)

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Wow...25, that is a heatwave! :)

I turned the weather on this morning (I was up earlier than I wanted to be because my knee was bothering me, probably because of the cold weather) and the dew point was -3! I never knew the dew point could be a negative number! I'll try to remember that when it's 90 degrees and humid this summer! :)

Anybody doing anything interesting this weekend? Today I'm probably going on my first big outing (the last one was canceled thanks to the fact that I almost passed out at PT), we're going to Walmart! LOL!!! They have the motorized wheelchairs that I can ride in, so it will be a nice little outing. :) Dave is coming up later tonight and spending the rest of the weekend up here with me! I'm so excited because I haven't seen him since last weekend and I miss him so much!!!!!!! :)

[Buckeye Gal]

Woo Hoo for Walmart! :rotfl: I'm sure you are more than ready to get some new scenery! Glad your honey will be there with you to make it that much better.

Those of you on Facebook have probably seen this already, but my "interesting" plan for this weekend is a mini high school reunion tonight. Since I joined Facebook, I've learned just how many people live here in Columbus, so I decided to organize a gathering. One of my friends mentioned that a popular local '80s band, Reganomics, is playing tonight, so we thought that would be a great background with all the tunes of our young years playing.

...how cold it is in Atlantar right now...25! ....The waterpark was great....Dh is getting ready for the big game, he needs to go buy wool socks. The stadium gets awfully chilly. :)

Atlanta is 25?!?! Geez! It was -3F when I got up at 8:30 this morning, but it's already up to 10!!!!

My Passat had sat outside on Thursday night when it was around -15F. I let the car warm up 15 minutes before I left for work. Twenty minutes into my 25 minute commute to work, I was at a stop sign. Hmmmmm...what's that smell? Must be the truck in front of me. So I get to the parking garage at work, and I notice the smell indeed had not gone away, and in fact, suddenly became quite overwhelming. It went from smelling similar to oil burning to a toxic fume. Bottom line: The cold air froze the air injector pump, when in turn backs up the exhaust into the cabin of the car. UGH! The Volkswagon dealership said this is not extremely uncommon with these temperatures we're having, and before deciding to get a new pump (approx $500 w/labor) it should sit in their garage overnight to see if it unfreezes. Besides....there's not a pump to be found in the area, so it will have to be ordered. grrrr

STAY WARM OUT THERE...that includes you, Drea, in your 50 degree weather!

[MagicMe]

Came on to get away from the TV. Thought things looked really bleak for my Eagles and they're starting to turn it around. I'm so nervous!!! Had to come in to the computer to try to relax a little. It's just a game, right?????

Since a Giant Fan can't root for the Eagles, I have to root for ARZ..
Not over yet.

[MagicMe]

Well, considering how bad they looked early on, they at least made a game out of it. Just came up a little bit short.

[anewmac]

I tried cheering for your Eagles... but guess they didnt hear me! Was really going for that PA Superbowl. BUT now ..think im going for the Ravens, let 2 birds fly to the bowl LOL. Sorry Val!

[Buckeye Gal]

I tried cheering for your Eagles... but guess they didnt hear me! ...

Me too. Sorry Iggles fans. :sad1:

[lenzs4]

WOW - Did you see the Cardinals? Yea AZ. We needed that. Loved that sign - Shock the world!! LOL :happytv:
Do not watch football except for the bowl - love the TV commercials but had to watch AZ finally get somewhere.

[Buckeye Gal]

Congrats, Shirely! I forgot we had some AZ people in our group! :grouphug: I guess it's likely Sandi (Hoagie Pie) and Darrell might be Cardinals fans, too, but I'm not sure.

Congrats to those cheering on the Steelers, too!

I really didn't have any investement in either game today other than I have a lot of Eagles fans surrounding me!

[anewmac]

congrats steelers fans (thats you right val LOL jk)

Should be a fun bowl. Im really hoping for some exciting commercials and half time show.. I too like you kimberly dont really have much care for who wins since my team isnt in ti (Ram fan, brainwashed as a kid LOL, then a Charger fan gots to go for the hometown too LOL) so just hoping i have some fun moments to watch during the bowl! (how that for PC for me LOL)

[Magic3forme]

Wahoooooo!! Dh was at the game! ( he was at the last AFC championship where they lost to the Patriots.) -- that was a miserable ride home. :( tonight was very pleasant!! :cool1:

I was rooting for the Eagles for a PA superbowl, sorry Philly group!
Congrats AZ, a game well played.

now to plan what to do for the Superbowl... party at our house!!!

[MagicMe]

Yes, congrats to those Cardinal fans (okay, I guess it didn't hurt too bad to say that!!!).

What can you say, it was very apparent that they played the better game. Being from PA, I now have to route for the Steelers!!!

[scoutsmom99]

Hey all I hope the cold has lifted for everyone. On Saturday we finally got above 0! It was heavenly to start my car up and see it say 19 degrees! Seriously felt like a heatwave. Of course now that the cold has lifted in the past 24 hours I feel like I'm coming down with something.

I hope your car is doing better Kimberly. A couple mornings last week my car was less than excited to start up in the below zero temps. I was warming it up for like 20 min before I would leave so I could hop into a warm car!

Wahoooooo!! Dh was at the game! ( he was at the last AFC championship where they lost to the Patriots.) -- that was a miserable ride home. :( tonight was very pleasant!! :cool1:


This made me LOL...I once dated a guy who was a huge sports fan and I can remember a few of those car rides when his team would loose a big game:rolleyes:

[TheDisneyGirl02]

How did the outing go Amy? Have you been back to work yet?



My outing was fun! I ended up going to Walmart and then for Chinese food with my sister. I was VERY tired when I got home though. It's funny, we went to the Chinese buffet and my sister had to get the food for me! LOL! Dave came up and we had a wonderful weekend together.

Dave is my Prince Charming - he has been so wonderful to me since the day we met and he has taken such good care of me since the surgery. I am so lucky that I met him and that I'm going to marry him and I'm so thankful that MagicMe raised such a wonderful son. :goodvibes

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Gotta bump us up to page one!

He had become a wonderful man. It wasn't always easy but I'd like to think that I had something to do with how he turned out. He has a big heart! But the best thing in his life has been finding you. I don't know what stars aligned but I will always be greatful that they brought him you.

BYW - It's been strange not having you around but I'm sure your Mom loves the extra time!

[FatCat]

Ok..I know I haven't been able to be around much of late but you CAN'T leave me hanging like that.

Sorry guys...work has been EXTREMELY busy. (in fact during Christmas mom watched Elliott for me so I could make it to the office for 6 am and I would not leave until around 8 at night).

BYW - It's been strange not having you around but I'm sure your Mom loves the extra time!

It has been strange not being at your house! I miss talking to you! I've been spending a lot of time with my mom...she's basically been taking care of me when Dave's not here. He takes such good care of me and will sadly need to drive me around for a few more weeks...my physical therapist told me I won't be able to drive for another month most likely! Oh well! I'm sure I'll get to see you before then. :)

You Guys will never guess what I bought!!!!:confused3 :confused3

Wait...wait...wait...I got it! Underware made out of mayo?! LOL!!!!

Wow, I was WAYYYYY off.

[Buckeye Gal]

.....Sorry guys...work has been EXTREMELY busy. (in fact during Christmas mom watched Elliott for me so I could make it to the office for 6 am and I would not leave until around 8 at night).

It's wonderful seeing you though!!!!

Now about work....this is just wrong. I'm so sorry it's been that ridiculous that you've been away from Elliott for such a long time.

Wahoo I was right!!! :cool1:

(dont send me any mayo packets or undies!) :rotfl2:

Chris....WOW! That announcement was a disappoinment! :rotfl2: Glad to hear it though because you can work that mayo off your heart!

Val....how the HECK? Go buy a lottery ticket, girl!

[Buckeye Gal]

....My dad went to have a procedure done at the hospital the week of Thanksgiving and ended up in the hospital for a week at Thanksgiving and ended up leaving with a pacemaker....he's having catheter ablation surgery at the end of the month....

Lisa, just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking of you and your dad on Monday. I pray it all goes with no complications for him!

It's wonderful seeing you though!!!!

Now about work....this is just wrong. I'm so sorry it's been that ridiculous that you've been away from Elliott for such a long time.

Val....how the HECK? Go buy a lottery ticket, girl!

It has been crazy but hopefully it won't be for much longer. After the holidays I settled back into a somwhat more regular schedule (I drop Elliott off at School then head to the office, leave the office around 5:30 and spend some time with him before he goes to sleep). We are just very short handed and with the new VP and the new computer system there have been many changes in the way we do things. I just keep counting down the days until the next cruise (and TRYING to get DH to plan a 3 dayer for this fall...that isn't happening).

[crissichef]

Hello everyone - Just doing a quick drive by.........miss you all dearly. I am now addicted to Facebook so that is where I spend most of my computer time.........talking to old friends...........and some new friends especially my DIS family members!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Have a great night !

[anewmac]

OH and Crissi, i am right there with ya totally addicted to Facebook also. When I 1st got on it I didnt like it, was more of a myspace girl but now I love fb.. specially since my phone connect right to it much easier to update my status LOL

So let me know about those cross stich things LOL

[anc22]

Hey all. Just checking in :). I have been having the "don't have a vacation planned blues" lately :sad1:. In the past I ALWAYS have had something in the works, even if it was a whole year away ;).

I am actually thinking about surprising DH with a trip to Vegas for his 30th birthday in September, nothing like a cruise, but I think it may hold me over until MY 30th birthday in October of 2010, when I plan on taking our next BIG trip, with no kids :rolleyes1.

Anyway, pregnancy is going well. I am more than halfway there :cool1:. Baby Kade is kicking a lot now and DH is even able to feel him :goodvibes.

I hope everyone is doing well. Ta-Ta for now ;).

Hey FatCat - how are you making out with the treadmill????? :lmao:

Just bumping us back up to the first page!!!

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Arin, I can't believe you are half-way through already! It's crazy! Where did the time go?

I'm going back to work tomorrow...one crutch and all! LOL! I'm afraid I'm going to be exhausted until the end of the day and then sleep all night...but I need to go back. Cross your fingers I don't fall asleep at work! :)

[Buckeye Gal]

I'm sure you will be exhausted, Amy, but I'm also certain you've been missed!

Good luck!

[anewmac]

Arin omg half way.. time does fly when you puking your guts out huh LOL

Amy good luck tmrw ill hope you dont fall asleep if you hope I dont.. I was totally doing the head bob thing at my desk today.. my coworkers phone rank and I jolted awake, then did the whole look around to see if anyone caught me... LOL so on that note I think im off to bed!

I'm at work right now...and I've made it through the day so far!!! Only 2 more hours!!! Probably will nap when I get home though.

There's snow and ice coming! Fun fun! There's the chance they may close work tomorrow...so come back for one day, have off the next! Not too bad! I'm not counting on it though.

Hope everyone is having a good day! :)

[crissichef]

Hello all - giving us a bump up to page 1. I got the call at 5:45 this morning that school is closed today. We about 2 inches of snow but now it is turning to ice! Not good for driving weather! I am not looking forward to getting to work today. Everyone with snow and ice, be careful today!

Crissi

[Grandma4ever]

Ditto: Everyone please stay safe in the clod winter weather. Be safe if you need to go out in the snow or ice. These latest storm have been deadly. Be safe and I will see you again some time. Lois

[MagicMe]

Well, the weather is fun here!!! I'm not far from Crissi so we have similar weather. Took me awhile to unearth my car from the frozen snow. I actually didn't have any issues driving into work but boy - our parking lot was like a skating rink. I had to do that shuffle walk to get to the building!!!!

[Buckeye Gal]

It's very icy here in Columbus, and even moreso south of us. It's snowing quite heavy at the moment. However, from about 10:30 last night until 8:00 this morning, it was all sleet/freezing rain/ice coming down. Some surrounding counties are in a Level 3 Snow Emergency, which is the most dangerous. For those of you in sunny states, that also means it's illegal to be on the roads. We are still on a Level 2. So, it's a work-at-home day.

I so not looking forward to unearthing my car, either, Melodie. I heard a neighbor trying to get into his truck this morning. It made me look outside to see what was going on. He was body slamming the door to help break the ice. :eek: There's a lot of snow to shovel around the car, too. I guess I know where I'll get my exercise tonight! This morning I scooped up the slush and chipped away at the ice underneath on my stoop and steps. It was HEA-VY. I was going to do more of the sidewalk, but abandoned that idea. It was just too hard.

Be safe and warm everyone!

BTW, who can share a sunshine story?

[Magic3forme]

Well we have about a foot so far, and it is still snowing. it goes great with the foot of snow we all ready had. It must be waist high in some of the snow drifts!!

Once upon a time (4 mos ago.) a great group of people got together to share a ship ride!! it lasted 7 days and the weather although rainy at times did not hamper anyone from enjoying their vacation. On the last day they went back to paraside... aka Castaway Cay!!! then the journey ended and we all to go back to reality. the end.

That's a great story, Val. Thanks!!! It's also so perfect that today's foot coordinates with yesterday's snow. :upsidedow

Well I just spent 50 minutes outside chiseling ice off my car and steps as well as shoveling snow....and I'm still not done! Thankfully the car is cleared off. However, I still have more snow to shovel. I'm whipped, sweaty, and my back hurts! You walk and you hit soft snow. CRUNCH. Soft Snow. Then finally when you make the complete step, you're down to 3/8" of softening ice. It's super heavy stuff. The snow has stopped falling for now, however.

Has anyone seen the footage on The Weather Channel of this man inside his car as it slowwwwwwlllyyyy was sliding into the Ohio River? Poor old guy! He's there holding his door open waiting for an opportunity to get out, but as he moved, the car would move. The car's tail end was in the water, but somehow, it stopped at least long enough to get him rescued. Not sure if the car made it or not. I would imagine it would have had to have totally slipped in. Great footage though.

[Buckeye Gal]

Hey there...

In case you didn't see this posted on the main forum, I thought I would let you know that the DIY channel has an episode of Project Xtreme that is dedicated to the Magic's dry dock right before we got on it. It started tonight at 10:00 pm EST, but it's being show at the following times as well (all EST). I'm DVR'ing it, and I'm only 10 minutes into it, and I think it's cool!

Well, my job was actually closed today because of the snow but of course, I still went into work to get work to do at home! So technically I had a working snow day! I am glad though because with the ice, I was really nervous I'd fall.

Hope all is well with everyone! :)

[Buckeye Gal]

Since I piqued some of your interest in the photo books I had made, I thought I would pass along that I received an email from Snapfish with the following sale notice:

"From now until February 5, take 20% off our photo books. Just use coupon code VDAYBOOK09 at checkout.* "

[Magic3forme]

It is 84 right now in Tampa, now I really wish I was going to the Superbowl!! :) (maybe I just can justify the 2000 price tag per ticket!!) My uncles and a few others I know will be there! Lil John is soo excited for Sunday.

[beachbratt]

To make you feel a little better today is pretty warm in Fl but tomorrow it's changing highs in the 50's lows in the 30's...sometimes your weather makes it all way down minus the snow...stay warm and safe...

[Buckeye Gal]

BeachBratt and Val, thanks for the warm weather updates! We're getting another snow storm after midnight. That's one thing I love about our country. It's so diverse in climates that you can get away to an entirely different kind of weather if you choose to!

Maureen, I agree. I thought it was really interesting. I saved it because I know I would like to see it again. I think that's one of those shows where you hear something you didn't catch the first time you saw it. I so badly wanted to correct their report that the ship was all ready for passengers after it left BAE! Nice try, but we DISers know better! I'm just thankful that by the time we got on the ship, it and its amenities were in good shape!

[Buckeye Gal]

OH! One more thing. I know Hadley hasn't posted on here in awhile, although she may lurk. :confused3 She's been pretty active on our WB TA thread though. I just wanted to ask you all to have her and her family in your thoughts tomorrow. They are off to call Germany home! Sounds like they're all pretty excited. Of course not all things go as planned, including Rio's broken wrist that just got casted this week! Hopefully the long flight won't cause any swelling problems for him.

So Happy, Safe Travels to Dave, Hadley, Marika, and Rio!

yes things were not all ready as Joe and I experienced first hand but it was much better when you all joined us it is so funny to see the crew and yell hey I know you!!

[anewmac]

hola all.. from the Sunshine state LOL todays was a nice 74... supposed to warm up this weekend! I LOVE IT... yet from all the time off of getting snow days THAT would be a nice thing too.. minus trying to dig out and drive through it.. no thanks!

Kimberly thanks for posting the Dry dock schedual.. I never catch when they have the magic on the travel channel so hopefully I can catch this one..

Miss you all being back on that ship does sound nice.... I could go for another vacation right about oh.. NOW lol

Oh and Hadly in Germany.. oh my.. how did that become. How exciting. poor Rio!

[Buckeye Gal]

....Oh and Hadly in Germany.. oh my.. how did that become. How exciting. poor Rio!

Dave was offered his dream job. She said it's right in line with what he wants to do when he grows up. :) (Okay...I added the latter, but she did say it's exactly what he's wanted for his career.)

[anc22]

Drea: Are you not going on your cruise in June? I must have missed something.

[anewmac]

Drea: Are you not going on your cruise in June? I must have missed something.

Pretty much ya.. Im bummed.. I would love to but the WDW offer they have for military just is not to be missed compaird to the military cruise deal.. I would love to do both just dont have enough vacation time :(. Well that and E would never go for both LOL. So for about half the price of the cruise we will be doing 8-9days at the world! The boys dont know still and im keeping it that way incase anything changes ... AGAIN. Depending on their school schedual (its always been the same week to start, well of COURSE this yr they have 6different calanders proposed that were supposed to be deceided on already but havent.) Once they figure out when the start day is I will book our stay. Was looking at doing more or less around August 9th-19th (thats when it goes to off peak pricing LOL) and they usually offer free dinning then so if we can get that it would be 7-8days at pop with dinning, then 2-3 at Animal Kingdom.

WHAT sucks is since I changed our booking from when we rebooked on board to the military rate cruise, we lost the $200 and 10% off. (this is cuz like a retard I listened to E... since we already put down the $500 deposit and paid the CC off. NOW if we are to switch it, we lose the $200 and 10% off... So im just going to get my money back from the deposit. THATs what I get for listening to someone that doesnt know jack squat about planning, I dont know why I did it to... DUMN ME :confused3 ) Oh well live, learn and dont listen to E lol.

So now since the magic will be in the Med in 2010 not sure what we are going to do. LOL

[TheDisneyGirl02]

So now since the magic will be in the Med in 2010 not sure what we are going to do. LOL

[TheDisneyGirl02]

believe me I keep looking into it.. I just hit a road block with that dude im married too LOL

Hmmm...I'm sure there's a way around that road block...hmmm! LOL!!! Oh wait! A 14 night 'business trip' to Spain and across the Atlantic! That might work! LOL!!!! :)

[FatCat]

Hey FatCat - how are you making out with the treadmill????? :lmao:

Actually I am averaging 20 minutes 4 times a week.
Also doing some free weights.

My goal is to actually need the flotation device for snorkeling

[nenner1]

I feel like I have been gone FOREVER...

My computer is still nowhere near done, but we couldn't take it anymore and
broke down and bought the $350 Best Buy special! So I'm back with two laptops, lol!

What have I missed? Is anyone in the 'hood for the Super Bowl today?? (Val???Cough Cough)OMG, traffic is unbelievable, and Winghouse....fuhgeddaboutit!!! (I did have my naked Dallas...yummmmmm)

Drea, I see you did WDW, that's great! We only have a couple of weeks til we go (can't wait)!

I saw Arin is having a boy...CONGRATS!! :goodvibes

What else did I miss?????????
:flower3:

[Buckeye Gal]

Happy Birthday, Erica!!! I hope you had a fab time at the Poly and the rest of the World this weekend celebrating!

Shirley (lenzs4), I know you're ready for those Cardinals to win tonight. There's a load of you with your yellow and black on, too. GO TEAM! :rotfl:

I hope you all have your 3-D glasses! I scoured Kroger yesterday trying to find them. Finally, an employee and I stumbled upon them.

Actually I am averaging 20 minutes 4 times a week.

Woo Hoo!!! Good for you, Skinny Cat!

I feel like I have been gone FOREVER....What have I missed? Is anyone in the 'hood for the Super Bowl today?? ...

Thank goodness you returned! I was thinking about you this week as the media was talking about the idea of the Postal Service going down to 5 days of delivery. I would hate to see that happen as it means it cuts income for so many government workers.

I personally don't know of anyone down in your hood today. I can't even imagine how crazy it must be there!

Hmmm...off the top of my head, other misses I can think of include Lisa's (Scoutsmom) dad did very well with his follow-up surgery post-pacemaker! Another biggy is that on Friday, Hadley and family moved to Germany. Dave got a dream job there, and everyone was excited about their new adventure. One of the downside for them is that it's illegal to homeschool, so they were fortunate to find a great private school.

Well, the game is starting...ttys!

[Magic3forme]

:cool1: We are doing the happy dance in Ohio. ( after nearly having a heart attack watching the game!!)
I just wish we could have gone to Pgh to watch the game...the entire town went crazy last night. :)


congrats Fatcat soon to be skinnycat.

[anc22]

Well........I'M doing the happy dance because FOOTBALL SEASON IS FINALLY OVER!!!!:cool1: I know the Pro Bowl is next weekend, but wooooo-hoooooo:cheer2:
My household can finally go back to "it's regularly scheduled program" ;)
6 whole months of no football coming my way! Don't get me wrong, I am a Greenbay Packer fan (by marriage) and I don't HATE football, but it just takes up soooo much of my hubby's time and attention. Maybe it is just the pregnancy hormones talking :lmao:

Congrates Steelers fans!

Welcome back Jen.

Happy belated birthday Erica.

[Buckeye Gal]

Erik posted this on the WB TA thread this afternoon, so I thought I would share it with you guys, too. :)

....I thought I'd log on quickly to let everyone know that I got an email from Dave (Hadley's husband) on his blackberry this morning. They have safely arrived in Germany and are now neck deep in preparations for their new home, settling in, getting ready for work and school and everything....but they wanted us to know they're well and excited about this new chapter in their life!! (despite the fact that some of us are already missing them on OUR continent!!! ;) )

[skoi]

Howdy all. Just stopping in. I never get notifications so I have to remember to come by and check the thread.

No medical disasters, and we did get dh home for a two week leave over New Year's. It took him over a week to get back due to bad weather, but he made it.

Still hoping for our 11 day Med cruise with the two big kids.

Wow- our life seems so boring but I never have time to do anything. Weird.
Julie

[TheDisneyGirl02]

I'm glad to hear that Hadley and family are in Germany safely!

I just wanted to wish MagicMe a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I know it's late in the day and I wanted to do it earlier but I had a migraine all day and didn't get to a computer. We had a wonderful birthday dinner tonight at the Olive Garden with her family and my parents. It was great! :)

[Buckeye Gal]

Julie!!!! So good to see you and better yet, hear that things are going well. Great to know that DH got to come home for a bit. I see your ticker, and it's looking better and better!!

MELODIE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Amy, get some rest girl!

[anewmac]

Happy Birthday Melodie!!!!!!!! hope it was a great one!

Amy feel better

Julie yeah!!!! so glad hubby got to come home for a bit!

Arin - totally feel ya on the football thing.. yet now March Madness is coming up... so E is engulfed in that.. OH JOY.. I can do football, and I watch baseball (he doesnt LOL) but I hate basketball!

Val great game.. was on the edge of my seat!

[Magic3forme]

Happy Birthday Melodie!!

Dh will be lost in 2 weeks without football on. Atleast he normally only watches the Steelers. and he isnt into college football at all. so far my son has watched the Superbowl 3 times!! ( I just watch the big plays!!)

[MagicMe]

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Except for the fact that it was still a normal work day (yuck), I had a nice day. Dinner was with about 20 people and it's just nice seeing everyone again. And this year, it was nice spending it with Amy's parents too! It was so nice of them to come down just for my dinner.


Julie - so happy for you that you got time to spend with your guy!!!!

[TheDisneyGirl02]

I am feeling better...thankfully!

We have a snowy day here but it's not sticking to the cars or the streets. It's a pretty snow! :)

I HATE basketball. Sadie plays it and loves it, so I get to go to all of her games. Fortunately, she's not very good, and there aren't many leagues for less than talented girls her age in our area, so I think this may be her last year. But she's going to assistant coach the littler girls next year. I wish she played something I liked, like field hockey or lacrosse.

Oh well, at least she won't get her teeth knocked out with a stick in basketball.

Well, no doubt each day counts! It's still a wonderful sight to see those lower numbers!

Noooooooo!! We thankfully have not had any snow fall in a week or so, but it has been uber cold. I don't know if I can take another 6 weeks. We went from Dec 29-Jan 31st without going above freezing.

Hey Kids! Can you believe that we’ve almost approached Page 250, which is the limit for the threads?! I’ve established Chapter 5 (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2081191) for us, so meet me over there and carry-on!

Lisa, a mod, will be closing this Chapter out for us soon.

Have fun in your new home!
