8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #15 /Life After the PC

[cruisin'Mike]

All out of surgery and all is well. Actually it was wayyyy too easy.
I was uncomfortable coming out of anesthetia and the oxygen mask always makes me feel clausterphobiac so I ripped it off quickly.
I went in at 8:30, was in my room by 1:00 and at 1:30 they gave me some great knockout drug. That stuff was GOOD!!! When I woke back up and 4:00 I was 95% myself again.
Went home this morning and glad it is over.

Glad everything went well for you!!

[micmse2003]

That's not too bad..... ;) Did I mention I have a drink maker???? :rotfl:



:hug: I am so glad that you are doing alright!

John mentioned you said you had a drink maker. :worship: I told him it was for Margarita's and that might convince him.:rotfl: :rotfl:

[captaincrash]

All out of surgery and all is well. Actually it was wayyyy too easy.
I was uncomfortable coming out of anesthesia and the oxygen mask always makes me feel claustrophobic so I ripped it off quickly.
I went in at 8:30, was in my room by 1:00 and at 1:30 they gave me some great knockout drug. That stuff was GOOD!!! When I woke back up and 4:00 I was 95% myself again.

Glad to hear that you came through this without any complications. :banana: You go ahead and rest for a couple of weeks and let Bill get everything ready for Christmas :rotfl2:

Cherie had a scare this week. She went for a stress test and the cardiologist was sure that he saw a tumor in her heart on two separate ultrasounds. She had to go in yesterday for an esophageal ultrasound so they could get a good look at it in preparation for open heart surgery. Fun thing, it wasn't there after all just a shadow or something. Needless to say we went through a lot of emotional swings this week. Miracles do happen!

This is for Cheryl and John: :banana: It's snowing! All the snow from a few days ago was gone already! Time for more :rotfl2: We're supposed to get snow for like the next week, which is unusual. Just hoping we can make it to my parents on Wednesday and the airport and off the ground on Thurs morning.

Dear Lord
Thank you for sending me to Timmy's House

This is not meant to offend anyone.

That was really cool!

We met up with Tom, Ellen, and the boys yesterday at the place where they put on the Pa Renaissance faire to see "A Dickens of a Christmas". I'm just waiting for Tom to post a video of the 12 Days of Christmas. Let's just say that I'll never be able to hear "Six Geese-a-Laying" again without smiling.

Thanks Tiny Tom! I knew you wouldn't disappoint.

God bless us, everyone...

[micmse2003]

Okay.........Cheryl is officially out of Facebook........or until I can get someone to fix my computer!!:headache: :headache: We went to defrag computer. This happened once before but my java script is not working. I fixed it once before but I don't remember how I did it. I got my Control X enabled but my computer will not run java script. Without this my face book and youtube will not work.:sad1: :sad1:

John and I have been both working on this since we defraged computer on Saturday both have :headache: :headache: .

I guess it will be back to phones for me and now you all will not have a million little gifts I send.:rolleyes1

Just figured it out!!! I am back!!! Woo Hoo!!!

I'm so glad that y'all had a great day!!! :)

[Stepht5]

I wanted to let everyone know that my brother is doing so well that they were able to lower his dose of a couple of his chemo meds. :goodvibes

He still has the problems from the chemo but, at least now we know it's working! And that in the end it will have been worth it all!!!

He had his chemo last wed/thurs (his is a 2 day process). I took him today to get his shot (he thought he drive himself.....hhhmmmm...he couldn't!) and I'll take him tomorrow. He is hoping to hold out until Thursday to come to my house to stay for a while -- probably through the weekend, again.

His last chemo will be the week of Jan 1st. :yay: I don't know what will happen with radiation, etc....

He has a friend coming in town late tomorrow to spend Wednesday with him and I am sure he would rather visit at his house then over here -- with at least one nosey child and really no privacy since he can't walk up the stairs (where there are areas to visit with people in private).
I guess if I had totally finished the guest room it would have at least a small chair in there.........
Although the friend is someone I know since they've been friends since...Jr High!!!!! :) But, I'll respect his wishes.

Thank you all for the prayers and support!!! A few weeks ago I was having a really rough time -- and I KNOW this isn't about me! ;)
Poor Tom happened to be online when I really was at the *end* of my rope that weekend! And so I yakked with him and felt like *me* again. Of course the drink I was drinking helped some too.... ;)

Jon just wants to make it better for me -- he kept reminding me that Greg is doing soooo much better then last time. Last time he ended up with severe port infections several times that came close to killing him. This time he has been healthier overall. But, being 10yrs older just made it seem like a real posibility that I would lose him this time, kwim?

Today my mom sent me a really sweet email saying that she was glad that I was able to do all of this for him and that I had a great heart, etc.... I asked if she was dying. :rotfl: I have never heard my mom give a compliment EVER! LOL! She isn't *mean* at all but, she just isn't the type to say nice things about you to your face! LOL!

I've rambled enough.....

Thank you!

This is for Cheryl and John: :banana: It's snowing! All the snow from a few days ago was gone already! Time for more :rotfl2: We're supposed to get snow for like the next week, which is unusual. Just hoping we can make it to my parents on Wednesday and the airport and off the ground on Thurs morning.

It's unusual here as well. We came home from DL to snow. Yup, the "S" word that Victoria doesn't know how to deal with, as we rarely see it. Like Terri - it comes and goes very quickly if we do get it. It's very icy here and more snow is apparently on the way. Brrrr! It's cold.

Watching the weather forecasts over the weekend in the hotel - it looks like the majority of the USA is getting ugly weather right now. Woke up this morning in LA to a torrential downpour and accidents on a lot of the roads. The lady at the front desk said it hadn't rained like that all year.

Very depressing waiting at the bus stop this time around and knowing I was heading for the airport and not the MAGIC.

Stop deleting stuff :lmao: .Maybe I will need to send Chad over there one day.Oh he got an email from that company in Calif. Apparently one of the guys sent in his resume and they are calling him today for a phone interview. Boy is he scared. I think he is scared he just might get the job and may have to pick up and move.He has always wanted a job like that but the thought of leaving at this time is screwing with his mind.We both hate change.

My mom has always done the opposite. So I always felt I wasn't living up to her expectations.

BTW. Haven't done a stitch of shopping yet.Friday is DHs birthday as well. I have Sunday off so I guess it will be a busy weekend.

Hope everyone is safe from these winter ice storms. Has anyone heard from Diane?

I was sooo tempted to call Chad. :rolleyes1 I did not delete a thing this time.:rolleyes1 John just went to defrag and I lost Java again. Somehow I was into security tabs and custom and did a million things.:headache: Finally got it to work and John asked what I did. I don't remeber.:sad2: :sad2:

Chad is sensible and will do what is knows is best!!:goodvibes Just think...you could have somewhere to stay in California.:cool1: :cool1:

My mom has always done the opposite. So I always felt I wasn't living up to her expectations.

We don't even want to go there!!:hug:

I've always tried to stay positive/encouraging with my children...... Maybe that's why Michael (oldest ds) has never felt like he could be what *he thinks* I expect! :eek:

I just started shopping this week....and I have more children to buy for then you do....;) Unfortunately everything I've bought so far has been our *family gifts* from Santa.....
Jon figures that if I don't get around to gifts for all the adults that it is no big deal.

Hi Arlene! Thanks for asking about me, but I'm fine. Just having been on much because I am soooo far behind on getting Christmas stuff done...as usual! I did a bit more shopping than you, but that's not saying much! ;)

You don't have to *accept* people as friends if you don't want.... I've done that......
Of course I now can't *gripe* the way I would prefer since there are a few of my *friends* that are way too judgemental...... They are friends of mine from 10 - 15 yrs ago.... the funny thing is that they *friended* me and then when I saw a couple of them this past weekend I tried to say *Hi* to them and I was ignored! UGH!!! The funny thing is that the reason they act this way to me is that I am not *Christian* enough for them! That always cracks me up! LOL!

I may delete them from my *friends* list...and yes, I've done that before, also! LOL!

You don't have to *accept* people as friends if you don't want.... I've done that......
Of course I now can't *gripe* the way I would prefer since there are a few of my *friends* that are way too judgemental...... They are friends of mine from 10 - 15 yrs ago.... the funny thing is that they *friended* me and then when I saw a couple of them this past weekend I tried to say *Hi* to them and I was ignored! UGH!!! The funny thing is that the reason they act this way to me is that I am not *Christian* enough for them! That always cracks me up! LOL!

I may delete them from my *friends* list...and yes, I've done that before, also! LOL!

Ack I don't get people like that at all. What does Oprah call them? I think it was toxic! Toxic friends you don't need! ;)

How does that work if you don't "accept" them? Doesn't it show that you didn't accept them? I mean I don't want to talk to these people, but I don't want them to know I don't want to talk to them. KWIM? :laughing:

[Stepht5]

That's funny...:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'm pretty much lucky the church confirmed my DD. (guess they don't hold me against her :lmao: )

LOL! Well...me being Catholic is the reason they don't think I'm *Christian enough*! LOL!
And I'm such a....it just makes me want to whip out my rosary in front of them and then say a few Hail Marys! LOL! But, that really isn't very nice...... :upsidedow

No. Just don't accept their *friend* request. Or press the ignore button. ;) They won't know you did it and just don't ever bring it up with them! LOL!

Can I join too! We got 4.1 inches and they say there is more on the way Thurs night! :scared1: So here is my dilemia I have 5 dozen tree shaped sugar cookies made for Kate's class. Was going to make another batch shaped like stockings for the kids to decorate Friday afternoon after the field trip. If it's bad and they call off school I'll be stuck with 10 doz cookies! :scared1:

I also shoveled the sidewalk in front of the house so my stupid postal carrier doesn't have a fit. Love shoveling snow before going to work.

Right now I'm so sick of snow I don't even want to see a snow globe! :lmao:

Did you share the link with your wife?

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It's unusual here as well. We came home from DL to snow. Yup, the "S" word that Victoria doesn't know how to deal with, as we rarely see it. Like Terri - it comes and goes very quickly if we do get it. It's very icy here and more snow is apparently on the way. Brrrr! It's cold.

Watching the weather forecasts over the weekend in the hotel - it looks like the majority of the USA is getting ugly weather right now. Woke up this morning in LA to a torrential downpour and accidents on a lot of the roads. The lady at the front desk said it hadn't rained like that all year.

Very depressing waiting at the bus stop this time around and knowing I was heading for the airport and not the MAGIC.

What happened to me this evening.....

Samantha had youth group @ church....the only store close that was still opened was the Hallmark store.
As I am checking out the idiot teenage girl behind the counter asks me the usual questions
*Do you have any coupons for htis purchase*
*Do you have a Crown card*
*Do you qualify for a Senior citizen discount*

:scared1: :eek: :scared1: WTH??????

Jon said that I should have answered yes. ;)

[m&m's mom]

Glad to hear that you came through this without any complications. :banana: You go ahead and rest for a couple of weeks and let Bill get everything ready for Christmas :rotfl2:

Cherie had a scare this week. She went for a stress test and the cardiologist was sure that he saw a tumor in her heart on two separate ultrasounds. She had to go in yesterday for an esophageal ultrasound so they could get a good look at it in preparation for open heart surgery. Fun thing, it wasn't there after all just a shadow or something. Needless to say we went through a lot of emotional swings this week. Miracles do happen!

Oh my! How scary! I am so glad all turned out well. What an emotional rollarcoaster that took y'all through.

I only wish I could turn Christmas decorations over to Bill.
Thankfully our house is as Griswaldy as usual on the outside so the neighbors are happy. We counted over 20 cars driving by looking at our decorations Saturday in an hour period. I just have so much fun seeing everyone get so excited about our tons of Dalmation yard art.

Holiday wine. You serve it hot, either as is or with a little extra unsweetened grape juice and mulling spices in it.

[Downrivermama]

Ok, the funny thing is when you said "Kate" in your earlier post I immediately thought "Who is Kate?". Took me a full 5 mins and then it hit me... Kaitlin!!!!

She likes to be called Kate. Well this week at least! :lmao:

Well my jury duty lasted a whole 20 minutes! 21 of us sat in a cramped conference room plotting ways to get out of serving, cause we only saw 8 chairs in the jurior box! Than the judge came in and said the defendant was rushed to the hospital! So it's adjourned till February. But I did find a small butt end Smithfield ham at a very reasonable price. And then I shoveled the rest of the snow from yesterday!

I've seen it all now. The trash truck was way late today. As I'm taking my trash bag out to the curb I see the trash guy tossing the trash bags and cans with one arm as he is holding and talking into a cell phone with the other! :confused3

Thanks for worrying about us Tina.:hug: We got caught in the middle of heavy snow and ice storm. We got some ice last night but only c aught about 5 inches of snow here. :headache: John is off today and is snow blowing the drive as I speak.:thumbsup2 Where he does got to work.....they got about 10 inches of snow.:eek:

Say a prayer.....my DSIL has another interview today. :flower3:

[Nutty4Disney]

I don't have the opportunity to get on often, but wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas. This afternoon is our company carry in luncheon so I am stuck covering the front desk and nothing is going on. Fortunately we didn't get hit by the snow, but are expecting ice over the weekend. Tuesday it took me 2 hours to go 15 miles.

It has been a pretty rough holiday season as Brett got laid off the Monday after Thanksgiving. We are hoping things will pick up after the first of the year, but things are tight for now. We cancelled our Jan. trip to WDW. Sorry for being such a bummer. Hope everyone is well...including John's b*tt.

[Downrivermama]

I think he needs bluetooth! LOL!

Yeah! A couple of years ago they made a big deal about your trash bags could only be 33 gal and 50 pounds. Didn't think it was so they could talk on their cell phones!

I knew you guys would get it first. Went out and dug out with my trusty electric Toro snowblower! Kaitlin and I made snow angels. Really not a good idea at 48! Still snowing some. It has probably snowed another inch or so. Kaitlin came home yesterday and her winter jacket zipper died! We went to Meijers and they had some on sale for $16! Got some salt and couple of food items. Lot of people there stocking up.

Glad you guys are OK! :)

We've never had it diluted before, but it actually tasted really good. I think we'll add some extra mulling spices next time, even if we don't dillute it.

That just bites. I speak to so many people with similar situations. Some of them only had 1 salary coming in so that is harder to recover at all. Best wishes to the both of you and tell Brett lots of luck for the new year.

Rich celebrated his 62nd Birthday yesterday.We had doubts he would make it a while back. And DS got some good news yesterday so it was a double celebration.

Busy weekend as I still haven't done much shopping. I have made decision to just give mostly gift cards this year. Worked out great last year.

OK, It is now official. I am the worlds worst mother.
Last night we went to a birthday party for our next door neighbor. Kids were welcome as they have kids the girls ages too. We are a very close neighborhood where all the kids regularlly sleep over at everyone else houses.
Well. thankfully, even though next door, I chose to not drink last night.
We stayed for a few hours and the kids played upstairs and the adults watched the disastrous Cowboy game downstairs.
The kids periodically would come down for snacks but mostly stayed upstairs.
Well All of the sudden Miranda was wearing different clothes than she was when we went to the party. I asked her about it and she said she wanted something more comfortable so she went home and changed.
Well at about 10:30 Bill goes home because he had to work at church pretty early this morning (he volunteers running the AV dept). I stayed until about 11:15. Megan was downstairs and I thought Miranda had already gone home when Bill did so Megan and I went home.
The house was pitch black so I sent Megan up to her room and went to bed.
Fast forward to this morning when Bill calls me from church and says we should go out to a steak place for lunch and when he would be back to get us and go as soon as he got finished with the last service.
I go upstairs to wake up Megan and when I get to Miranda's room- she was not there! :scared1: Ok, after I run screaming for her through the house I try to mentally retrace my steps from the night before. There was no way I was calling Bill right in the middle of the service when he is in a control room with 5 other people to say "Do you know where Miranda could be?" :sad2:
The possibilites were either that Miranda was:
a) kidnapped on my frozen porch while waiting for us to let her in the night before
b) She froze on our doorstep and hungry wolves carries her away
c) One of my neigbors had realized what a deadbeat Mother I was and taken pity on Miranda and she was still there.

I throw on clothes, run next door and there is Miranda - in the same clothes as the night before, eating at the next door neighbors!! Oh yeah! Imagine how stupid I felt saying "Uh, thanks for letting my kid sleep here since we locked her out of the house last night" :sad2: Did I mention it was 25 degrees here last night?
Turns out she tried to come home and the door was locked and house all dark. She went back to the party and played until my other neighbors left and walked her home to our house. When the house was locked, they took her back to the party where they just kept her all night.
yep- Mother of the year!!!! :scared:

Hey, you are probably way up there on the "cool meter" with all her friends, letting her do whatever she wants.....

Glad it worked out ok, good thing you have responsible neighbors....

Just curious, did they knock or try the doorbell?

I shouldn't laugh! I am so glad it ended well...although I think I would have pounded on the door until you answered. Don't worry...the worst you will have to do is live down .."let me tell you about the time my mom forgot me at the Christmas party" for the rest of your life ;)

[smeecanada]

Ken has posted some images up on our website of what this place we call home looks like right now.

Victoria rarely sees snow and if we do - usually only lasts for a few days and then it's gone. We have over 12 inches on our deck right now and it's still snowing. According to history, we only have a 7% chance of snow for Christmas and they are already confirming that we will have a white Christmas along with all the rest of Canada for the first time since 1971.

I was teasing Miranda that she is bound to remember (and remind) me of this for years to come.

[mkygrl]

Come find us and we all will be your friends!!!;) How are wedding plans :confused3 going??


I have to figure out how to find you all over there!

Wedding plans are going well... I think Brendan has his grooms men chosen (just has to "officially" ask them!) I designed my save the dates (magnets) just have to design the card...all the other stuff will have to be done starting in feb!

We are looking at houses and are hoping to lock in a rate in a few days...

(and I think he is warming up to a WDW trip after our st lucia portion of our honeymoon!!!)

Take care every one!

[tom31b]

So then they all wanted her to sleep over.....

Sneaky.....

Well, given the Eagles disappointing performance today, there is only one goal left this season, beat Dallas and knock them out of the playoffs!

You know they don't deserve it. I cannot imagine they will get very far this year. Disappointing.

I feel quite sure the quiet knocking had something to do with wanting a sleepover. Good call! :thumbsup2

Wendy, I agree with Coral! LOL! And I know for certain I would NOT be leaving the house for quite a while! LOL! I don't even own a coat that would keep me warm in that weather! LOL!
Jon keeps saying that since we've had severl *cold* days (like today!) that if it is going to be cold why can't it be really cold and snow for a day! LOL!
The kids would LOVE it! :thumbsup2

Both of you make very good points.
My suspicion is the rest of the adults were in a little worse shape than me.
They were partaking much more of the alcohol than me.
Miranda said my other next door neighbors stayed until at least 2:00 am and just left their kids too (although I think on purpose and not forgotten like me :rolleyes1 ).

This is where you need to change your story and it should be about how nice you were to let her stay the night.....

[micmse2003]

I don't have the opportunity to get on often, but wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas. This afternoon is our company carry in luncheon so I am stuck covering the front desk and nothing is going on. Fortunately we didn't get hit by the snow, but are expecting ice over the weekend. Tuesday it took me 2 hours to go 15 miles.

It has been a pretty rough holiday season as Brett got laid off the Monday after Thanksgiving. We are hoping things will pick up after the first of the year, but things are tight for now. We cancelled our Jan. trip to WDW. Sorry for being such a bummer. Hope everyone is well...including John's b*tt.

Sorry Terri to hear about Brett's lay off. :sad2: We all know how rough it is out there by just some of our peeps losing jobs earlier this year.:scared:

We all wish you and Brett the best of holidays and a prosperous New Year. ( I mean a great job):flower3:

I don't have the opportunity to get on often, but wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas. This afternoon is our company carry in luncheon so I am stuck covering the front desk and nothing is going on. Fortunately we didn't get hit by the snow, but are expecting ice over the weekend. Tuesday it took me 2 hours to go 15 miles.

It has been a pretty rough holiday season as Brett got laid off the Monday after Thanksgiving. We are hoping things will pick up after the first of the year, but things are tight for now. We cancelled our Jan. trip to WDW. Sorry for being such a bummer. Hope everyone is well...including John's b*tt.

I'm sorry ...

... about Brett getting laid off... and I thought about an article in yesterdays' USA Today (or LA Times?) about how Northrop was having trouble HIRING folks. They have a lot of vacancies now (for specialized positions) and as such were engaging in very aggressive tactics to get folks to interview with them. I have no idea if Brett has any experience which Northrop could use - but I took the liberty of checking if Northrop has any business in Ohio - and it seems they have 14,500 enployed in Ohio http://www.irconnect.com/noc/press/pages/news_releases.html?d=128550 and maybe you'd want to check thier site and send a resume - or ask around for friends who might be employed there about openings?

I hope my thoughts were not in error or diplomatically incorrect. It's just a stab in the dark in trying to help. :confused3

That's what I wanted but, since Jon couldn't seem to wrap his mind around that idea I'm buying for myself! LOL! :lmao:
I wish we all lived closer and we could share the cartridges! LOL! Because that is going to add up FAST! LOL!
I think one of the Mickey ones will be my first one! I need a Disney fix anyway I can get it! LOL!

I'm probably going to get her the Sure Cuts A Lot program so that she can use all of the fonts that she has on the laptop instead of buying font carts.

[m&m's mom]

Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas!!!
We had a totally laid back day. Stayed in pajamas all day. We fixed steaks for lunch and ate on the couch while watching Ironman. Probably a bad choice for watching while dining. We watched it a ton on the cruise but I forgot how gruesome it was.
The girls got a Wii and the dual Guitar Hero so they played for hours and hours. Too fun!

That sounds like a wonderful day! Samantha (17dd) loves *stay in pajamas all day* days! LOL!
We had a house full of people (my family) and it was lots of fun. DH's parents and an Aunt/Cousin came by to do something next door (their house -- but, only FIL lives there right now) so, the kids & dh went over to talk with them for a bit and bring them their gifts. And I didn't have to since I had company! :yay: :woohoo: :yay:

Nobody would have cared if I was chatting online instead! LOL!

You know when the phone rings at 12:30am it is not good. Hysterical Daughter telling me her DH got rearended on his motorcycle and was calling her from the ambulance. They were taking him for scans on his head. Good thing he wears a helmet. Was a hit and run. Someone got the plate # so that was the only good thing. Meanwhile she is driving over to the hospital. Just called DS to see if she needs any help. I'll keep you guys posted.

I went to sleep near 2am and see she posted on her facebook they were home close to 4. Will get the info later.DH spoke to him and he was in a lot of pain. Said he got hit from behind,flipped over the handlebars and thinks he flipped in the air but when he was coming down, saw the bike and the car coming right at him so when he landed,he had to drag himself off the road. One of the bystanders chased the car but lost him as he ran every red light. Cops can't pull the # either. Probably some thug. Hope they catch the creep.

Thanks for your concerns.........

That's so scary! Obviously, I wish it hadn't happened at all, but at least it doesn't sound as bad as it could have been. I hope he's feeling better soon, without any lasting aches or pains. I hope they get the guy who did it.

Spoke to Steven today and he is bruised pretty bad on his hip. A bit of road rash on his arm but he was really lucky. Testament to wearing a helmet and an expensive one at that. He is luckily a very cautious guy. She was supposed to post the pics of the helmet on facebook but as of a bit ago nothing.

Hate to have to be asking again, but I need your prayers.

I've been at the hospital all weekend. My mom had a mild heart attack on Saturday. Not sure of the course of treatment yet. They need to do a stress test, but they don't like something in her kidney levels. Hoping to regulate it by switching her medication. She's not a candidate for bypass surgery since she's had too many already.

Hoping to know more tomorrow when her usual cardiologist is on duty.



Arelene, sorry to hear about the accident but thankful it wasn't any worse. Prayers for continued healing.

Hmm- I really had no clue you could have 9. Is that 9 separate surgeries? What do they do for veins at that point? I would thought he would be striped clean by then. I am sure hoping we never have to find out.
When Bill had his open heart 3 years ago they mentioned they were working on artificial venis instead of stripping your own.

That's AlanasPapa (sp?) Carapoohs dh!!!!! :yay:

He is one of us! How exciting for his family! There's the way to start off 2009!

I get to start off our New Year at a park too....I am currently packing..going to take my Sis to DLR for a couple of days with a couple of nights at DGC. Looking forward to it!

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Day!

I am green with envy!!! Have a great time!!!

We are being really lazy today! I'm the only one that is showered and dressed! LOL! Claire is trying to talk me into going to B & N -- FIL gave dh & the kids gift cards to B & N. DH gave his to me since several people gave him good books for Christmas.
Jon has said that he will hook up the wireless part of my new printer (an Epson Artisan 800).
And then Jon and the kids are planning on playing GH world tour today. Jon said that it is really fun. ;)

Thank you all for the prayers, they definitely were answered!!!!!

After numerous tests they determined that there was no further damage to my mom's heart. In fact, they think that it was so mild that if it had happened just a few years ago, they would not have been able to detect it. They've made so many advances in their tests over the last few years. Mom has been home since Tuesday and getting a lot of rest.


Cheryl, we've been told that 9 bypasses is the limit. (for the uninformed, not 9 surgeries, but 9 veins bypassed). My mom has had 2 surgeries with 7 veins and they told her on the last one that they would not be able to do any more, even though she's not up to the 9 limit. I don't know why they cut it off at 9 but that's what they've told us. Don't want to scare you, but maybe you should discuss it with John's doctor. Maybe John's case is different?


Debi, thanks for the picture. I have a similar one but mine didn't come out as good. I also have one of Todd's son Destin feeding Trevoy. On a sad note, Geddings, the server pictured, is no longer with DCL. I don't have all the details but I believe he has hired an attorney so it's not pretty.


To everyone else, let me take this opportunity to thank this wonderful group of people for getting me through a very difficult year. Thank you for the laughs, the tears, the drinks, the games, and the prayers. I love you all! Happy New Year.

Hopefully John will not need anymore by-pass. It took him 10 years to clog his arteries(he gave up all red meat and fat when this happened 20 years ago)
from his first 5 bypass. You are right about medicine and the advances made. The newer drugs are much better today than Mevacor. Crestor has been keeping his Cholesterol to 135 for the last 3 years.

Glad your mom is feeling better. :hug: Sometimes your heart will just have a little bleep.:flower3:

From what i remember.....lunch was good (at least the chicken and other meats; wasn't brave enough to do the salad parts.)

Elvis has never met my Abby... She's all lapdog... (of course she's also 118 lbs)

But it's like having a real live bear in the house. (i've always wanted my own circus.)

She's real gentle with all the kids we meet though. (The kids at the dog park always love to come over and pet her.)

Hi Everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We just got back today from an awesome WDW trip. At some point when Sydney and I have recovered I'll find time to go through all of our pictures and give a better summary... For once, we had beautiful weather for almost the entire trip. We had 1 day that was just cold and Sydney and I weren't feeling great so we went back early. We didn't have any rain or freezing temps at all down there. As of the 1st, they are REALLY into the Celebrations thing. We had a couple of restaraunts give my SIL and I certificates or free dessert since we're both expecting (we just found out about her) and BIL and Sydney dessert and cards for their birthdays.

We had the worst travel day ever today geesh! We actually got to the airport early for once, but then it took Steve an hour to return the rental car and get back to the airport. He also sat in something that really smelled like pee on the shuttle back. We then decided to do the curbside check-in to save time and barely made it to the gate as they were boarding. We got on the Southwest plane with the family boarding and found the last 2 seats together - in the very very back where the seats don't recline. Sat next to a family that was vomiting the entire time - apparently some sort of virus :scared: They lost Sydney's carseat that we gate checked so they couldn't lose or damage it.... Then while trying to figure out how to get the SW loaner seat into the car, a taxi backs into us! Then the lady could care less... My dad went and knocked on her window and she's like oh well (at least we didn't see any damage!!) So on our way back to my parent's house, we had to get around a good accident... Not 2 blocks later there was a little OLD lady driving the WRONG WAY on the road... A cop was trying to hold traffic so she could turn around, but she kept driving the wrong way... Then steve narrowly avoided an idiot that ran a red light. Phew made us want to curl up at my parents house and not do anything else today. After that was OK, except for people driving weird and coming home to snow. I haven't been able to warm up all day!


The pictues are adorable!

IS that a park across the street from you??? I would HATE for my kids to be able to see that! LOL! Claire would cry everyday for me to take her there! LOL! I thought it was bad enough that at our old house there was a park a block away......I had to go there ALL THE TIME! Some months I took her everyday........:eek:
I HATE the park! LOL! Jon tells the kids all the time *Your mom must really love you because she HATES the park!* :lmao:

Yeah we now realize that moving across from the park was a BAD idea... It is always busy! I can't believe how many people come and go from there all day long. It's always weird to work in our front yard with an audience. And the park is still too advanced for Sydney (or I'm too paranoid, but either way...)

Awwww Mom! I can't put my arms down!


:lmao: We kept saying that all day!!



Well since I've been up since 2:30am NM time and it's now 9pm, I think it's time for sleep! So if this all made no sense or I'm really rambling, that's why! Keep your fingers crossed that Sydney sleeps OK tonight... We decided that it's time for the pacifier to go away so we "forgot" to bring it home from WDW. So far, so good since she only took 20 mins to fuss herself to sleep.

[Stepht5]

Elvis has never met my Abby... She's all lapdog... (of course she's also 118 lbs)

But it's like having a real live bear in the house. (i've always wanted my own circus.)

She's real gentle with all the kids we meet though. (The kids at the dog park always love to come over and pet her.)

He would freak. There is no reason at all for him to be afraid but, he is.....of cats, too.
He's never been tramatized by an animal and he knows that there is no LOGIC for his fear. :sad2:
Just seeing a dog puts him in *fear* mode. I will say that in the past year he can finally be in the same house with the dog of his best friends. It is a rather small dog that leaves the room as soon as the boys arrive. ;) But, it took a year of them putting the dog in the garage every week when we would come over. And then gently introducing him to the dog -- they would wait until after we arrived to put the dog up and then after a year....he finally wasn't bothered. :goodvibes He still doesn't want the dog to come near him. ;)

Now Claire would LOVE your big dog! LOL!
Elvis uses Claire as a defense with animals -- he puts her between him and the animal. :rotfl2:

I can't figure out which was the worst thing to happen.....I think the vomit family wins....... I can't wait to really hear aobut your trip!!!

If you never take her over to the park she will never know that she CAN play on some of it! LOL!

Good luck with the *no pacifier*!! I have a thumb sucker....you can't get rid of a thumb......

Well.....It looks like we were all too optimistic..too soon.

Greg is back in the hospital....All over something so minor to most people...

He had developed a pimple right underneath one of his nostrils. He had put a band aid on it yesterday (becasue the plastic tubing from the oxygen irrated the area). During the night he started feeling really terrible....night sweats....vomiting.....the works. His lip then swelled up to about 5 times its normal size - he says he looks like a duck ;) . He is now at the hospital waiting for a room. :sad2:

Yesterday afternoon he was feeling better then he had in months. He could see an end to all of this -- his last chemo is scheduled for 2 weeks from yesterday.

He could use any and all prayers.

Yesterday afternoon he was feeling better then he had in months. He could see an end to all of this -- his last chemo is scheduled for 2 weeks from yesterday.

He could use any and all prayers.

We're trying to see if we can make this one. We have a WDW trip in 4 weeks and will have to see how the pennies hold out. We might end up off property for this one.

Well.....It looks like we were all too optimistic..too soon.

Greg is back in the hospital....All over something so minor to most people...

He had developed a pimple right underneath one of his nostrils. He had put a band aid on it yesterday (becasue the plastic tubing from the oxygen irrated the area). During the night he started feeling really terrible....night sweats....vomiting.....the works. His lip then swelled up to about 5 times its normal size - he says he looks like a duck ;) . He is now at the hospital waiting for a room. :sad2:

I am so sorry to hear it! I will keep him in my prayers!

We NEVER stay on property at Disneyland! Can't afford it!

If it wasn't for DVC..we would never be able to stay on property.

Not sure if we will make the meet...definitely know we aren't staying the night. It's right in the middle of cookie sales for Girl Scouts and I will be swamped. Will try and make atleast dinner and some time in the park.

Steph, we'll definitely continue to keep Greg in our prayers. We'll also say an extra prayer for you as well. From our involvement with the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and Linda's previous work in radiation oncology, we know that one of the most important things for people dealing with chemo is to have a good support system of family and friends. Greg is very lucky to have you there to help him through this.

Oh gosh Steph such a roller coaster ride for DB! I will definitely keep him in my prayers! :hug:

Thanks y'all.
Yes, this has been quite the roller coaster ride and Monica, I do want off! LOL!
Right now Greg is just *sick & tired* of being sick and tired! And I don't blame him!
He is sounding much better this morning -- and the swelling has gone down so, he doesn't look so *freakish*. His upper lip was at least 5 times its normal size........
He is responding quickly to the antibiotics -- since this time around his blood cell count is close to normal :yay: -- and they expect to release him tomorrow. :thumbsup2
I'll be going up to the hospital later (Claire has a playdate today & Girl Scouts! :) ) to bring him some real food. Knowing him he probably wants some fried shrimp & french fries w/ a Dr Pepper! LOL!

I was trying to find a pic of Greg (where no one is making some wierd face or has their eyes closed....). Here is Me & my siblings (I'm the oldest) and my mom & dad at My dd's wedding last year. Greg is the one standing next to me. And yes, I am the only one with dark hair! LOL! The rest are natural blonds! LOL!

I do not know how people without close family even manage! I know that Greg (and my parents) really appreciate me helping him.
Our brother & sister appreciate it because it means they aren't asked to do anything........ :rolleyes:

[MrsScooby]

I hope the cats get over it soon! ;)

Nothing would make Claire happier then if we bought a dog! LOL! Of course then Elvis would have to live somewhere else....... He actually prays every night not to be afraid of dogs/cats anymore so that Claire could have a pet. :goodvibes
What a bummer:sad2: My Mom is afraid of the water and will never cruise with us because of it. But a dog/cat phobia has got to be such a pain for Elvis. Is it easier for him just to tell people he is allergic:confused3

Punch? was there punch in my rum? :rolleyes1

From what i remember.....lunch was good (at least the chicken and other meats; wasn't brave enough to do the salad parts.)

:rotfl2: :thumbsup2 Gotta go back and do it again:woohoo:

Hi Everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We just got back today from an awesome WDW trip. At some point when Sydney and I have recovered I'll find time to go through all of our pictures and give a better summary... For once, we had beautiful weather for almost the entire trip. We had 1 day that was just cold and Sydney and I weren't feeling great so we went back early. We didn't have any rain or freezing temps at all down there. As of the 1st, they are REALLY into the Celebrations thing. We had a couple of restaraunts give my SIL and I certificates or free dessert since we're both expecting (we just found out about her) and BIL and Sydney dessert and cards for their birthdays.

We had the worst travel day ever today geesh! We actually got to the airport early for once, but then it took Steve an hour to return the rental car and get back to the airport. He also sat in something that really smelled like pee on the shuttle back. We then decided to do the curbside check-in to save time and barely made it to the gate as they were boarding. We got on the Southwest plane with the family boarding and found the last 2 seats together - in the very very back where the seats don't recline. Sat next to a family that was vomiting the entire time - apparently some sort of virus :scared: They lost Sydney's carseat that we gate checked so they couldn't lose or damage it.... Then while trying to figure out how to get the SW loaner seat into the car, a taxi backs into us! Then the lady could care less... My dad went and knocked on her window and she's like oh well (at least we didn't see any damage!!) So on our way back to my parent's house, we had to get around a good accident... Not 2 blocks later there was a little OLD lady driving the WRONG WAY on the road... A cop was trying to hold traffic so she could turn around, but she kept driving the wrong way... Then steve narrowly avoided an idiot that ran a red light. Phew made us want to curl up at my parents house and not do anything else today. After that was OK, except for people driving weird and coming home to snow. I haven't been able to warm up all day!

What a nightmare:scared1:
Glad you made it home ok.

Did you all hear about this?

Disney Celebration (http://www.sun7news.com/index.php?firstname=Monica&lastname=Goodrich&celebration=Holidays)

Love those:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
Didn't Father Mike have something similar last year, except it was for the election.

Very cool:thumbsup2

[Stepht5]

Yea!! Glad to hear it is a "minor" setback:thumbsup2

Mmmm, I like Dr Pepper too:thumbsup2 :lmao:

Have you ever had Dublin Dr Pepper? Dublin, TX has a Dr Pepper plant that still uses cane sugar.

What a bummer:sad2: My Mom is afraid of the water and will never cruise with us because of it. But a dog/cat phobia has got to be such a pain for Elvis. Is it easier for him just to tell people he is allergic:confused3


That's a good idea! Then people wouldn't constantly try to *help* him with his fear! UGH!!!!!
As soon as someone finds out that you have a phobia some people feel like they have the *answer* for you! LOL!

[dahuffy]

Just checking in. :)

[MrsScooby]

I usually drink the diet and they have come out with a bunch of different flavor mixes (cherry, vanilla, and others). I'll have to look for the Dublin Dr. Pepper just to try it:woohoo:

I tried to teach my Mom to swim when I was about 12. It was shallow water and she really tried, but it was torture just for her to put her face in the water:sad2: I now leave phobia treatment to the professionals:rolleyes:

Linda decided to try to conquer her fear of heights by ziplining in PV. She ended up threatening to walk down the back side of the mountain with all of the snakes because that was preferable to continuing on the zip lines. She eventually made it by zipping through the jungle with several Mexican men wrapped around her.

I'm proud of her for doing it, and I thank God that it was her idea and not mine.;)

I would have walked down with her! there was a reason I didn't go zip-lining with you all! My other fear is flying so this summer will really test that.

I just have to keep thinking.if I fly I get to be with all of you! And with all of you - there is rum! :woohoo:

Well, even IN CONTEXT it sounds pretty great . . . when I ziplined there the videographer zipped with me on one of them (and let me hang upside down without holding onto anything) and it was a fairly memorable experience;) Hmmm, Mike, maybe I'll have to pretend to have a fear of heights and see how many Mexican men I can get wrapped around me next time:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Give my congrats to Linda:goodvibes

I don't think any of the 5 of us would have been able to do it....Well...Claire (7) probably would do it! LOL! Elvis would look at me and ask *Are you TRYING to kill me?* Samantha would of had a panic attack (she is afraid if heights).... I'm the type that would just close my eyes and do it! LOL! Jon would probably look at me and say *I'm a little old for this ___.* :rotfl2:

Phew what a day. So I woke this morning still feeling really bad as I have for the past week. So I went to urgent care and came home diagnosed with bronchitis and pink eye in both eyes. No wonder I wasn't getting better! At least I have antibiotics now so hopefully I'll get better and not worse. If it triggers my asthma I'm in big trouble since I'm pregnant!

We gave Sydney a piece of cake for her birthday (2 today!) with 2 candles. She wanted to keep blowing out the candles and wanted nothing to do with the cake! *sigh* someday she'll want to eat!

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: I really thought about including myself in the zipline, but the anxiety was awful:rolleyes: After weighing the disappointment in being left out with the anxiety and fear of going,
I settled on chips and a pina colada at the bar:cool1: With Pamela and Chris to hang with:cool1: :cool1:
I somehow missed a few others that day (Enna and Julie and her gang:confused3 ) But I had fun anyway.

You should have joined us at the bar instead of ziplining.
My Mom is also afraid of flying and I've developed that fear as well:guilty:


That's what Xanax is for! Too bad I forgot mine on the ship before we went zipping that day!!!:scared1:

Now I found xanax to just make me sleepy, so I was sleepy and anxious on the plane. I guess it did calm down the pounding heart and sweaty palms though:laughing:

I was kicking myself for forgetting my bonine for the Jolly pirate excursion. DCL has so spoiled me (with those stabilizers) that I've been forgetting it:headache:

Is there a fingers crossed smilie????? I KNOW this feeling!!!! We weigh Claire all the time........ She is 7 1/2 (her b-day is July 1st) and weighs 38lbs.....

Bonine works well for me, when I remember to bring it:rolleyes1
That day it was sitting in my cabin, not with me on the pirate boat:rolleyes:

I probably would have been ok, except for the combo of empty stomach, sea water and rum punch (or punched rum):upsidedow

That was an excellent excursion though.
Thank you to whomever suggested the Jolly Roger Pirate ship:thumbsup2
