I had to wait until the old thread was closed to come here. My OCD won't let me come here until I'm sure absolutely no more will be posted on the other one. ;)

[HollyTyler]

I've been sitting here at work for an hour, having a nice leisurely breakfast, bagel and OJ, with no work to do yet, waiting for the work day to start for everybody else in another 1/2 hour so some work might be generated. :rolleyes1

I'm not sure what you are doing on the 22nd but if it is something exciting you should let us know.

[gaylean93]

Hello everyone. We are going to Laguna Beach this weekend so Friday night chat for me. I hope we leave tonight anyway. Jon is trying to get off early. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend.

[gaylean93]

Good morning/afternoon everybody! :goodvibes

I had to wait until the old thread was closed to come here. My OCD won't let me come here until I'm sure absolutely no more will be posted on the other one. ;)

That's OK because my ADHD won't let me sit here any longer :lmao: OK I have to get dressed ;)

[mishoe01]

Gay - hope you have a good weekend - I've heard Laguna Beach is beautiful.

[mishoe01]

KATHE - (response from the last thread)...

I think a DIS meet at some point w/ you & Serenity and Sydney & I is a GREAT idea! I can tell you tho that it'll be years from now -- Lisa won't allow it before that, and when she does allow it it'll be the entire family is down here, but I'd be able to take Sydney off on my own.

[mishoe01]

Jackie - how's the sitting going?

Deb - how's the laying down going?

Who else is having to be in different positions? (remember this IS a family thread, people!)

Hope you have a good time!

IF (and that is a pretty big IF) we get in earlier than expected on Sunday we'll give you a call to see if you are home. Don't wait up expecting it or anything, because I'm expecting to be pulling in around 10pm, but if we manage to get there sooner, we'll 411 you.

[LuvBaloo]

Joining the new thread.:wave:
I came to work early today so I can leave early to get some more studying done before the exam. Today is day 1 of an extended shutdown at work, so things are quite calm. Just have to wrap up some things and then I should be able to leave even earlier than hoped for :cool1:
Very difficult to stay focused on studying when we're leaving in less than 24hrs:banana:

Now I must get back to work :sad2: but the sooner its done the sooner I'm on vacation :goodvibes

[scottishwee35]

Hi

I check with Royal Caribbean and it cost half price from disney Cruise....

the ship called Jewel onthe Sea...

I will talk to my husband because it is pound money, not dollars...

Same date and sailing from Harwick...

Scottishwee35

[HollyTyler]

Uggghhh.....It never ends. More bad stuff with Tyler, but I suppose it's good in a way because the principal called me, but also called his dad too, so if his dad still thinks Tyler would do just fine at camp, he's even more of a moron than I thought.

I received a phone call from the principal at about 11:40. His teacher was out of class for meetings today and he felt he didn't have to listen to the parapros. He was very defiant, and threatening kids, making stabbing motions with pencils, pushed over tables, had to go to the timeout room, took about 20 minutes to de-escalate, afterwards he had to go clean up the timeout room because he had been spitting all over the walls, was unable to remain calm enough to go back to the resource room and was taken to the office to sit with the principal and work on schoolwork there.

The principal says her goal is to try to keep him calm enough to enable him to remain at school today, but she's not sure that will work out in his current state. I don't have to pick him up because it's his dad's day. The principal told me this is the worst she's seen Tyler since he switched schools. Things seem to be building back up with him, so I'm going to request a med increase next week at his med check.

I pray that this is an eye opener for Chuck to finally see that camp is not a good idea right now.

Thanks Monica. I think that is similar to the Celebrity one I looked at earlier in the week. Much better prices. That will be 3 ships leaving the UK on the same day for the same destinations. I would scream when I saw the Magic though.:lmao:

To be honest, I am going off cruising to the Baltic. After a cool week last week on vacation I really want heat. I also have decided I don't want anything so port intensive. Plus I will be saving for the 2011 Panama Canal cruise with Michelle!!:rotfl2: :cool1: :dance3:

Oooer, just read Ian's final post on the last thread. Ian, you were a tad grumpy!!!:scared1:

That means another one way air fare!!:sad2: Might have fancied that otherwise.

Perhaps the maiden voyage out of Cape Canaveral.

Actually out of Port Canveral is the one I meant - do they allow guests on the ride over? I thought it would be only CM's (to get all the kinks out).

Marilyn - let me know if you want me to get some ears for the grandkids before you come over.

Marilyn - let me know if you want me to get some ears for the grandkids before you come over.

I hadn't thought about that Monica. Sounds fun. I'll let you know.

Perhaps on the Monday 18th May you can pop round to the villa in the evening. The rabble doesn't arrive till the 20th so it should be calm.:lmao:

Sounds good to me - will pencil it in :thumbsup2 :goodvibes

Of course - that's if you still want to see me (and so closely) after our meet on the 16th. :-)

[iankh]

Joining the new thread.:wave:
I came to work early today so I can leave early to get some more studying done before the exam. Today is day 1 of an extended shutdown at work, so things are quite calm. Just have to wrap up some things and then I should be able to leave even earlier than hoped for :cool1:
Very difficult to stay focused on studying when we're leaving in less than 24hrs:banana:

Now I must get back to work :sad2: but the sooner its done the sooner I'm on vacation :goodvibes

You and Ken are going away?

[granmaz]

Of course - that's if you still want to see me (and so closely) after our meet on the 16th. :-)

Of course. It will be much more relaxed of course. We might just be in our cossies in the pool!!!!!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[granmaz]

We might get in the Villa on the Friday, but not sure yet.

This is one of my teachers in High School on the Ellen Show... Yes, he was that crazy in school... :thumbsup2

Michelle, what was that thread that got locked?

[Tink rules]

If Ian says Jump, in that tone of voice on the other thread I think we might just do that!!!:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:



Yes sir. Please don't send us to the corner. http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m86/maz48/Smileys/naughtycorner.gif





Well I went to bed and you were around!!! Or, because you are always naughty!!



What is(was) the GF thread? Sometimes the catty threads are fun to read.



Hope you feel better today.

Marilyn... if Ian is going off a cliff... please don't follow him...

Also.. the GF thread WAS the Grand Floridian Faq thread... The girls over there are a bit, shall we say... dogs in the female persuasion. They get in trouble alot and keep the mods busy by reporting every little thing on each other... it's a good thread when they stick to talking about the GF, but when they get OT, they get into cat fights...it's not pretty...

Plus one of the women was "advertising" her own website over there too much... The Dis doesn't like it if you openly do that too much... (I think it's because she opened a travel agency of her own... competiton, you know...

Welcome to Friday!
Your Gateway to the Weekend.

Now go forth and frolic.

Hey everyone!! Ian has spoken.:scared:

WE CAN FROLIC!!!

:dance3: :banana: :cheer2: :banana: :dance3:

YES!!!!! :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

Hello everyone. We are going to Laguna Beach this weekend so Friday night chat for me. I hope we leave tonight anyway. Jon is trying to get off early. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend.


Gay - hope you have a good weekend - I've heard Laguna Beach is beautiful.

Isn't that where Woody lives??? If you see him... tell him he owes me postcards...

[Tink rules]

You and Ken are going away?

I'm sorry... but I scrolled past this really fast and all I saw was

"You and Ken are gay?" :rotfl:

(Put your glasses on Michelle...)

[Tink rules]

oops. :headache: Yep you are right that should read the 21st. Forgive me for wanting to spend even more time with you!

I think on the 22nd the song would be:

We're days away from getting our project to go through... We've been working on this for almost 4 years and we did get caught up in all the banking crap in the fall... BUT... it's supposed to go through really soon and I'm sitting here on pins and needles...

Please say a prayer because it's a really good project (we're bringing water into the SW of the US...) and we really need to get this thing moving...

IF (and that is a pretty big IF) we get in earlier than expected on Sunday we'll give you a call to see if you are home. Don't wait up expecting it or anything, because I'm expecting to be pulling in around 10pm, but if we manage to get there sooner, we'll 411 you.

Go ahead and call. We'll be at the aquarium until 9:30 :eek:

Have fun and think of me on Friday night.

[HollyTyler]

Our office manager just told me that words have been said about my tattoo and that since my annual review is coming up, I should consider keeping it covered until after my review. I said, "So....it took them 4 years to notice it?" :rotfl: And I politely refused because I'm not going to go buy shirts with longer sleeves to cover something I've never had to cover before. I told her that if it comes up as an issue on my review, I'll protest it because tattoos are just a part of today's society. TWO other secretaries have tattoos, one has THREE tattoos that are visible every day. It's just the way things are in today's world. :headache:

[HollyTyler]

Have fun and think of me on Friday night.
I probably won't have a drink because I want to exericse tonight, but I'll still have fun and think of you! :thumbsup2

[gaylean93]

I'm drinking champagne out of a disposable red cup :eek: It still tastes fine. I wouldn't want to dirty any dishes before the trip :rolleyes1

I need to finish packing but I wanted to say hello to my friend Venetia. I haven't seen her in two weeks :eek: and I haven't talked to her much either.

[gaylean93]

I don't think I could ever get one that wasn't covered by normal summer wear but then why get one if it's covered up :confused3 So I guess I don't really believe in them :lmao: I think it's dumb that they are just saying something now after 4 years.

[Tink rules]

Thanks Monica. I think that is similar to the Celebrity one I looked at earlier in the week. Much better prices. That will be 3 ships leaving the UK on the same day for the same destinations. I would scream when I saw the Magic though.:lmao:

To be honest, I am going off cruising to the Baltic. After a cool week last week on vacation I really want heat. I also have decided I don't want anything so port intensive. Plus I will be saving for the 2011 Panama Canal cruise with Michelle!!:rotfl2: :cool1: :dance3:

And Planky... and Mom... and anyone else we can talk into it... (like that will be hard...)

Oooer, just read Ian's final post on the last thread. Ian, you were a tad grumpy!!!:scared1:

(he needs chocolate...)

I want the maiden voyage on the Dream :lmao:

ME TOO!!! :cheer2:

That means another one way air fare!!:sad2: Might have fancied that otherwise.

Perhaps the maiden voyage out of Cape Canaveral.

That would be a very quick ride...

Actually out of Port Canveral is the one I meant - do they allow guests on the ride over? I thought it would be only CM's (to get all the kinks out).

That's the way they did it last time.

Of course. It will be much more relaxed of course. We might just be in our cossies in the pool!!!!!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Hello

Just finish cup of tea and glad that finish working...

Monica - sorry for interup you as you see that here at UK money exchange is not very good... We don't know that if we afford it for Baltic next year

Ian is talking that he think we should change the cruise ...

Oh i dont know as Ian said okay we wait until later this year.. he said he would like to go to RC for a chance... also it will help us less money too...

I'd never get one either that's in a spot where it's covered up because to me, the whole point of one is to be able to see it....sort of like an accessory. :thumbsup2 I've had the one on my arm for 8 1/2 years and the one on my ankle 5 1/2 years, so I had them long before ever working at my current job and I never made any effort to cover them, mainly because I rarely wear shirts with sleeves long enough to cover the one on my arm. And in the summer I wear capri pants and sandals all summer, so the one on my ankle shows at work all summer long. I just can't believe nobody mentioned it when I first started working there. Good grief!

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi All.....happy Friday night.....guess there's no happy hour since Gaylean and Holly are not here, Bubba and V have been missing all week, Ken and Shannon are packing.....Shannon hope you aced your test and are ready to start VACATION!!!

Ian, I hope you got home safely, Jackie I hope you're sitting for longer now.

Monica, John and I are thinking about driving in Sept now instead of flying. We checked the flight times and don't like them. We'll talk about it more over coffee this weekend and I'll let you know by PM what we decide.

Hi Michelle, Marilyn, Deborah, Nan and Kathe. Hi to everyone.

I'm happy it's a weekend. John worked last weekend so it'll be good to have him home this one. We don't have any special plans.....just running errands and John will cook corned beef and cabbage for St. Partick's Day on Tuesday. Maybe I'll find more pictures to post. :goodvibes :goodvibes

Hey Holly, can you take pictures of each of them and post on here??? I would love to see them.

Can do! :thumbsup2 But in the meantime, here's one from the PC cruise where you can see the one on my arm. But the colors don't show very well because of the bright sun I think. It goes all the way around my arm and the flowers are all different colors with yellow in the center, and green leaves. It's my first one. My ex-husband Nate and I went on the same day to get tattoos in June 2000.

OK, this is a better picture of the one on my left arm:

And this one is above my right ankle, I got it the weekend of Tyler's first birthday (Memorial Day weekend 2003):

It's funny how my freckles can be seen through the colors. ;)

KATHE - (response from the last thread)...

I think a DIS meet at some point w/ you & Serenity and Sydney & I is a GREAT idea! I can tell you tho that it'll be years from now -- Lisa won't allow it before that, and when she does allow it it'll be the entire family is down here, but I'd be able to take Sydney off on my own.

Monica, that's okay, it gives us something to look forward to in the future! I wouldn't want to take Serenity for a few years yet either! I'll probably end up having to take her mom too,especially since she's never been :headache: but I'm sure she would love me to take Serenity off to the park for a day by myself to give her a break :thumbsup2

Uggghhh.....It never ends. More bad stuff with Tyler, but I suppose it's good in a way because the principal called me, but also called his dad too, so if his dad still thinks Tyler would do just fine at camp, he's even more of a moron than I thought.

I received a phone call from the principal at about 11:40. His teacher was out of class for meetings today and he felt he didn't have to listen to the parapros. He was very defiant, and threatening kids, making stabbing motions with pencils, pushed over tables, had to go to the timeout room, took about 20 minutes to de-escalate, afterwards he had to go clean up the timeout room because he had been spitting all over the walls, was unable to remain calm enough to go back to the resource room and was taken to the office to sit with the principal and work on schoolwork there.

The principal says her goal is to try to keep him calm enough to enable him to remain at school today, but she's not sure that will work out in his current state. I don't have to pick him up because it's his dad's day. The principal told me this is the worst she's seen Tyler since he switched schools. Things seem to be building back up with him, so I'm going to request a med increase next week at his med check.

I pray that this is an eye opener for Chuck to finally see that camp is not a good idea right now.

:hug: Hope everything works out Holly.

Well, I'm headed to bed. I only had diet coke with my friends after work, no Friday night beer for me because my stomach wasn't feeling right towards the end of the day. Then I did eat chips & salsa while out with my friends, but that was a big mistake. I could barely make it to the bathroom on time. Yeah, I know, TMI, sorry. But that misery has continued and I just feel the need to lie down under my covers in bed. Goodnight all!

[LuvBaloo]

Popping on for a last :wave: before heading off to do the final packing and get some sleep.

The exam is done, definitely didn't ace, not even sure if I passed, and I don't find out for 6 weeks!

Shaelyn definitely knows about the trip, my misdirection didn't work.
When Ken picked the kids up from daycare, Shaelyn's teacher said "have a nice trip!" :mad: And when Ken put the kids to bed, Shaelyn said "if we go on a trip I can't bring my library book, so I should just finish it".
Darn kid is too smart.

Michelle - :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: here's some positive thoughts heading your way!

Holly - your arm tattoo is cute. I'm surprised they have decided to notice it after 4 years. :confused3

Hi to everybody else, I must get my butt off the couch and finish packing.

[MouseFaninQueue]

Ken... you DO have 10 hours of Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers downloaded, right???

and a dvd player. Our van is nice, it has the ability to play two things at once. The girls can listen to a movie/cd on one channel under headsets while Shannon and I put on what we want to listen to. Both are happy. It is a REALLY nice feature.

ANd with only 10 hours - that means I have to listen to it all 2.5 times!

[LuvBaloo]

:wave:

:wave: See you next week :)

[BubbaGrump]

:wave: See you next week :)

Supposed to be in the mid to upper 70's for you guys when your here!:cool2:

[MouseFaninQueue]

Ok folks we are gone. Time to hit the sack as we have to get up in a few hours. Want to be getting up at about 4:30am

[iankh]

Good morning all.

I woke up in a start, I was afraid I was late for work and had forgotten to turn on my alarm. It was quite a while until I realized it was Saturday. I even had to go look at my computer to be sure of the date.

I rather like it right now. The total silence in the house.

[ibouncetoo]

I also forgot it was Saturday when I first woke up. Then I realized I could sleep in. Then....I couldn't fall back asleep. Ah well, there is always a NAP to look forward to! :lmao:

.

[lillygator]

morning all!

Have a great weekend!

[iankh]

We're back from our Saturday errands, and I've also been out and had my hair cut. It still isn't even 11AM!

Today is (Über-Yuck) tax day here. I'm going to work on my taxes. Phooey!

[HollyTyler]

Supposed to be in the mid to upper 70's for you guys when your here!:cool2:

OK, this is a better picture of the one on my left arm:

And this one is above my right ankle, I got it the weekend of Tyler's first birthday (Memorial Day weekend 2003):

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a14/hollyntyler/P1010419.jpgIt's funny how my freckles can be seen through the colors. ;)


wow, I remember your arm tattoo's but I don't see your right ankle...

Do you know that colour will be fade later? My friend had the thistle tattoo's in her back and they told her that the colour of tattoo's purple with green will be fade..

I don't have any tattoo but I like one in picture of the day on lady ankle of Disney but I don't think I ever have a tattoo...

but I do have TWO W at my bum, when you bend down WOW!!!


Well, I'm headed to bed. I only had diet coke with my friends after work, no Friday night beer for me because my stomach wasn't feeling right towards the end of the day. Then I did eat chips & salsa while out with my friends, but that was a big mistake. I could barely make it to the bathroom on time. Yeah, I know, TMI, sorry. But that misery has continued and I just feel the need to lie down under my covers in bed. Goodnight all!


Hope you feel better today

Where is everybody???

As it is quiet here

Scottishwee35

[granmaz]

Hi Deborah. It is quiet isn't it. It usually is on a Saturday, but more so with a few away on vacation or for the weekend.

Boring isn't it?:rolleyes1

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi All! Not much going on at home here either. John is cooking corned beef and cabbage and potatoes in the crock pot in BEER. He's using a dark stout and it adds great flavor. We're ready for St. Patrick's Day.

Marilyn and Deborah, do you guys celebrate it over there like we do here?

Ken and Shannon (I know you're away, but you'll see this eventually) how about you guys??? Kathe how about you???

I talked to my brother recently and he told me he finally got a permanent placement on a ship in Corpus Christie, TX. That's great news. Now he'll get paid vacation time when he's off the ship and he knows he has a job to go back to. I'm very happy for him.

Sandi sent us an email update. Tom is living with her Aunt down there (her mother's sister). She said he's doing well. He went back into school and will gratuate in May, he has a date for the prom and he joined the local volunteer fire department. I'm glad to hear that he's making some positive progress.

My daughter was bad behave this week and I always wonder if part of her deaf....

My son is great but he keep telling me I am fine.... my daughter blah blah to me...

So very unlike you Deborah....usually you have the best parties!!!:laughing: :laughing:

My friend came over and very upset as she was dating with a man didnt work out... oh dear...

That's hard, but better to find out now instead of later. She just has to be patient and the right Prince will come along.

I end up show her about Panama Cruise :love: She was saying awesome...

true it was...

How sweet!!!

Tomorrow we will be tidy up at our car as I will picking up new car on wed as i am nervous *** first time I drive new car:headache:

Good Luck with the new car....wishing you many years of safe and reliable driving.

Had been looking around cruise for Baltic and my heart still with Disney...

I didn't want to cancel it so Ian... so he said wait until this year....

I dont know what to right way yet....

I agree with Ian, you still have lots of time and things can turn around. The markets were good this past week and some of the banks and automakers said they have turned their finances around and are seeing profits. Hang in there. It's worth waiting for Disney.

Anyway, we are relaxing tongiht and time for bed soon

Take care

Just remember that all the "bad" kids will one day grow up and become adults and parents. Then their outlook will change. They're not really all that bad, they're just very spirited!!! hahahaha!!

[nskjerven]

Deborah, I had to laugh about you saying Olivia was like you when you were little...I always worry about Molly dating...I dated TOO Much when I was a teen and I'm very nervous about when she figures out about boys.

I think we all worry that our kids will have our worse habits :rolleyes1

Funny thing here is Molly is so much like Paul and I can't stand it in her, but love him so much for it :guilty: Willie, just like me and I love him to pieces. Not that I don't love Molly of course, I just find some of her traits annoying...it's ok I guess because she isn't loving me at the moment either :rolleyes:

Parenting kids who would have thought this is what it would be like :scared1:

We are in for the night. Quite boring here.

Tomorrow Willie and Paul go to the big track (Infineon) to practice, very exciting. I wish I could go, but Molly and I have Girl Scouts. We are bagging up some travel toiletries for a service project. The girls have been collecting them to give to a local house for families that have kids with cancer. Families get to stay at this house while their child(ren) are sick. It's called JW House http://www.jwhouse.org/

Next week we(girl scouts) are going to cook a dinner for the families that are there. Should be a nice event. We are doing all this in preparation for our bridging, which will be in May over the Golden Gate Bridge. Can't wait for bridging event :banana:

[mishoe01]

Hi everyone!

I ran around doing errands today, went to the library, treated myself to lunch at Chili's & just finished watching "Milk" with Will & Mickey.

Did a little bit of work on my scrapbooking room - still have a ways to go before it looks decent & somewhat organized.

Talked to my parents today - Dad in the morning (Mom was out), then Mom in the afternoon (Dad was out). Lisa also called me today so the entire family checked in :goodvibes

[mishoe01]

I have a medical (prescription related) question for you (don't worry - I will also be calling the Dr on Monday)....

Can anti-depressants cause rage?? :mad: :mad: :furious::furious: Real rage - at just about everyone? Yesterday I could feel the blood pumping through my system, could feel my blood pressure rising, and my hands were actually shaking. I at one point was even thinking about walking out of work (after talking to my mgr of course). Coworkers, clients, people on the road - every thing was getting at me. Of course then I clench my teeth more, which leads to a sore jaw & headaches.

Thoughts??

[mishoe01]

:wave2: Nan!


:wave: Deb!

[mishoe01]

Holly - thought about you & Tyler today.....was going to recommend that you try to make a res for the TRex Restaurant.

[mishoe01]

Deborah - :hug: :hug: for you

Hope you like the new :car:

Yes, some can.

You may (or may not) remember that I was being treated for the "phantom stale cigarette smoke?" The medication was some sort of antidepressant, that the neurologist had said he had good experience with other patients, who had similar false data symptoms like me.

Well one of the side effects (among others that I won't go into) was increased irritability.

I was much more irritable and lost my temper (getting pretty angry). I finally took myself off the medication, deciding that the "cigarette smoke," though annoying was preferable to the side effects.

I feel much better since stopping, though many times a day, it starts to smell like a smoky bar at 3AM after it's closed and everyone has gone home.

[mishoe01]

I guess I'm talking to myself tonight :upsidedow

It just kind of freaked me out yesterday.

I don't think I can give up the meds tho.

Hi Deborah. It is quiet isn't it. It usually is on a Saturday, but more so with a few away on vacation or for the weekend.

Boring isn't it?:rolleyes1
I was reading and took a nice long 3 hour nap! :cloud9: Then after I picked Tyler up, we ate a quick supper and were outside a couple hours doing yard cleanup. It was so warm today, we only needed to wear a sweatshirt! FINALLY! Tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice, so we'll do more yardwork. We did the front yard and one side, including cleaning up the areas under my front windows where flowering plants grow, and I started on the other side of my house alongside the driveway. Tomorrow we'll do right in front of my garage, there's an area with lots of flowering plants and I'm going to pull out all the dead stuff to make room for the new stuff coming up soon. Then we will tackle the back yard. That's the biggest project because tulips come up all along the fence surrounding the back yard, so we need to rake up all the old soggy rotten leaves from fall that we weren't able to clear out before snow came.

If felt go good to be outside in decent weather! We also have to clean out the garage too. Tyler took a couple toy lawnmowers across the street to see if our neighbor wants them for her daycare kids. She was very happy because she has some just the right age for those.

Yes, I still have the "cigarette smoke," some days more often than others. Sometimes I'll be sitting at my desk and all of a sudden it starts to smell like a bar after closing time.

It happened today when we were out for a walk.

I have come to the point where I just accept it, though it is sometimes annoying.

I had to wait until the old thread was closed to come here. My OCD won't let me come here until I'm sure absolutely no more will be posted on the other one. ;)


I understand that!! I am over there still.

Thanks to everyone for the Birthday wishes. I celebrate a long time. The Tortola cruise will be for my Birthday. I wanted to go to WDW but we cannot get away so we will go when Tom's Birthday rolls around and pretend the free ticket is mine--isn't that romantic!!

Holly, I do not see any posts on the Tortola cruise thread from JANDAVE. What cruise is she going on in September?

Jan :confused3

[Tink rules]

I think she's on the second week, Jan...

[Tink rules]

Ok... you're useless information of the day... (Michael said I couldn't find this....)

Is that the Disney Magic can make up to 1200 tons of desalinated water PER DAY... and they have storage of up to 82,000 gallons. So... next time, feel free to flush to your hearts desire... :thumbsup2

I talked to my brother recently and he told me he finally got a permanent placement on a ship in Corpus Christie, TX. That's great news. Now he'll get paid vacation time when he's off the ship and he knows he has a job to go back to. I'm very happy for him.

Sandi sent us an email update. Tom is living with her Aunt down there (her mother's sister). She said he's doing well. He went back into school and will gratuate in May, he has a date for the prom and he joined the local volunteer fire department. I'm glad to hear that he's making some positive progress.

:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

Excellent news about your brother and Tom.

No, we don't celebrate St Patricks Day. Only the Irish and their friends do that here. I've always been surprised how you all celebrate over there, but, hey, it is a party for you all I guess. :confused3 Still think it is odd.

Hi Deb and John

We are having a quiet tonight (I know not like us):rotfl: :rotfl:

My friend came over and very upset as she was dating with a man didnt work out... oh dear...

I end up show her about Panama Cruise :love: She was saying awesome...

true it was...

Tomorrow we will be tidy up at our car as I will picking up new car on wed as i am nervous *** first time I drive new car:headache:

Had been looking around cruise for Baltic and my heart still with Disney...

I didn't want to cancel it so Ian... so he said wait until this year....

I dont know what to right way yet....

Anyway, we are relaxing tongiht and time for bed soon

Take care

Scottishwee35

Thing is with what you save you could have another vacation. You should read some reviews of the other cruise lines and some of their cruises.

Deborah, I had to laugh about you saying Olivia was like you when you were little...I always worry about Molly dating...I dated TOO Much when I was a teen and I'm very nervous about when she figures out about boys.

I think we all worry that our kids will have our worse habits :rolleyes1

Funny thing here is Molly is so much like Paul and I can't stand it in her, but love him so much for it :guilty: Willie, just like me and I love him to pieces. Not that I don't love Molly of course, I just find some of her traits annoying...it's ok I guess because she isn't loving me at the moment either :rolleyes:

Parenting kids who would have thought this is what it would be like :scared1:



I think if we got a university degree on child rearing we still would have problems getting it completely right, but we do the best we can, and from what I see that is fantastic in your case!!

I have a medical (prescription related) question for you (don't worry - I will also be calling the Dr on Monday)....

Can anti-depressants cause rage?? :mad: :mad: :furious::furious: Real rage - at just about everyone? Yesterday I could feel the blood pumping through my system, could feel my blood pressure rising, and my hands were actually shaking. I at one point was even thinking about walking out of work (after talking to my mgr of course). Coworkers, clients, people on the road - every thing was getting at me. Of course then I clench my teeth more, which leads to a sore jaw & headaches.

Thoughts??

Not sure, but it doesn't sound nice. I'm keeping away!!!! I would check with the Doc as it can't be good for you.

Don't hormones suck???

Maybe I'll be just be happy with my hot flashes... :furious:

It sucks more when you don't have those hormones any more!:sad2:

My computer is freezing up on me... I hate it... but if I smack it one more time, maybe it will work better... :rolleyes:



Get Nan over. The computer would stop freezing after she slapped it!

[iankh]

Good Morning All!

I'm getting ready to leave for my Sunday morning WW meetings in a bit.

I worked on taxes yesterday. I think today I'll do the electronic filing.

During the week, I ended up getting the Sanyo camcorder that Holly had found. Amazon still had the warehouse deal and were down to 3 units left, so I thought, why not? Plus, it had gone down another 20 bucks. It came out to being $150 cheaper than the list price and $90 less than the normal Amazon price.

It's also tiny and weights 8.4 oz, which is much less than my much older digital-8 Sony camcorder. I did not use it much because it was a pain to schlepp around and taking clips off of a tape could be time consuming. It was an ease of use thing.

I was out and about for a bit of the afternoon playing with it. I took some sample video of Sukie. Not sure I can post it, as it is probably offensive.

Not a bad little camera, better outdoors than indoors, but suits what I wanted. It's palm sized and very easy to take video clips off and onto, in my case, my Mac. Plus it's waterproof, and can be submerged for up to 30 minutes at a shot (to a depth of 5 feet).

Taking video off of it was remarkably easy. Much more like working with photographs than the old video tape. I went from the camera to iMovie, to do some editing, but it's possible to go directly from the camera to Youtube.

It also takes 8 mega-pixel still shots, so it could double for me in pinch for snapshots (I still prefer our Fuji cameras for stills).

I think there will be videos from Typhoon Lagoon during this next trip. I never take my camera because of the fear of getting it wet.

Today is going to be an Ebay day. A few things are going up for sale. Now that we have iPhones, my old iPods are going on the block as is the Sony Digital-8 camcorder. My iPod was a 40gb and Sukie had a relatively new Nano. The Sony Digital-8 recorder is also in fantastic condition, so I'm hoping all three items go fairly quickly.

Sukie has created a new rule at Eastwood Manor .... "If Ian brings something into the house, that means something must leave the house."

[HollyTyler]

I understand that!! I am over there still.

Thanks to everyone for the Birthday wishes. I celebrate a long time. The Tortola cruise will be for my Birthday. I wanted to go to WDW but we cannot get away so we will go when Tom's Birthday rolls around and pretend the free ticket is mine--isn't that romantic!!

Holly, I do not see any posts on the Tortola cruise thread from JANDAVE. What cruise is she going on in September?

Jan :confused3

It's not the Tortola cruise, but I can't remember which one. I think it's the first week of the 2 weeks that a few on here are doing a back-to-back. I don't remember, sorry.

[HollyTyler]

BEAUTIFUL day today! We needed our coats on our way to church and there was ice to scrape off my car windows, but by the time we got out of church we were able to go without coats! I opened a window when we got home, and Tyler's going to take his firetruck out for a spin. Then we'll do some more yard cleanup, and will go watch a bunch of firefighters shave their heads for Locks of Love. I always thought Locks of Love needed long hair, so I'm confused, but we'll go watch anyway because I'm sure Tyler will get a kick out of it. Who knows? He might even want to shave his head too! :rotfl2: I'd let him do it, and it would make his dad go through the roof! :rotfl:

Oh, we still have to go buy a shamrock cookie cutter to do cookies tonight. That's not an easy item to find.

OK, we're headed out to enjoy the sun! :goodvibes

[scottishwee35]

Hi Holly

That is good that you have a lovely day...

I was ironing and tidy up today... Ian was cleaning the car and empty things...

Ian is watching football on tv:happytv:

I am relaxing now and we are thinking to change our planning for cruise...

We are waiting to hear from DU...

I believe the reason we still celebrate is because of so many of us are decendents of the Irish people who imigrated over... and we like to party.. what else is new...

THIS is a Public Service Announcement from the Planky Board of Kitchen Safety... :teacher:

When one is microwaving left overs, it is strictly advised that one does not stick two fingers into said leftovers when the plastic wrap on such is blown up something short of a jiffy pop ready to explode... :eek:

(for our over seas friends... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTNXpxR25D0)

Doing such can cause scalding of such fingers, causing them to swell up like big old sausages, turn red and make you say things that are only heard on cable TV... :headache:

(I'll give you one guess who did this today...:hippie: :rolleyes1 )
(and you should have heard the words that came out of HER mouth :sad2: :sad2:)

In addition to bad language... lunch was ruined... (what a pity...):guilty:

Our advice to said stupid person :crazy: is to spend the rest of the day with her fingers in cool water and to refrain from taking any heavy utensils and beating the microwave up.

This PSA was brought to you by the non-profit Planky Council for Stupid Mistakes... all claims, complaints & product endorsements are the property of the PCSM... Please forward all comments to our offices... Our hours are from M-F 12 noon to 12:05 PM... (be nice to our secretary... she has a boo boo on her fingers... ) Void where prohibited...

They are the ones he and Nan posted in the old thread. Plus some great Tyler ones.

When I feel that way inclined I mean to go though our old ohotos and get some scanned. They should cause some amusement.

[Tink rules]

Marilyn... if you need to make any more ADR's for your upcoming trip... let me know... the wait time is horrible and I wouldn't want you waiting too long on the phone... I can give it a try for you...

[katypop]

Hi All! Not much going on at home here either. John is cooking corned beef and cabbage and potatoes in the crock pot in BEER. He's using a dark stout and it adds great flavor. We're ready for St. Patrick's Day.

Marilyn and Deborah, do you guys celebrate it over there like we do here?

Ken and Shannon (I know you're away, but you'll see this eventually) how about you guys??? Kathe how about you???

Glad to hear Tom is doing better! Encouraging news :thumbsup2

Parenting kids who would have thought this is what it would be like :scared1:

We are in for the night. Quite boring here.

Tomorrow Willie and Paul go to the big track (Infineon) to practice, very exciting. I wish I could go, but Molly and I have Girl Scouts. We are bagging up some travel toiletries for a service project. The girls have been collecting them to give to a local house for families that have kids with cancer. Families get to stay at this house while their child(ren) are sick. It's called JW House http://www.jwhouse.org/

Next week we(girl scouts) are going to cook a dinner for the families that are there. Should be a nice event. We are doing all this in preparation for our bridging, which will be in May over the Golden Gate Bridge. Can't wait for bridging event :banana:

Nan :hug: I hope I don't cause you any more distress by telling you that the worrying and stress as a parent never stops :scared1: ;)

Sorry you are missing the excitement of Willie's practice, but sounds like you and Molly have a very worthwhile weekend planned :thumbsup2

Kathe

[granmaz]

Hi Kathe. A very good day thank you. Went to church this morning and that was really nice, then a quick lunch before phoning DVC to book our last 3 nights in October. After that we went off to see our son, daughter in law and little Molly, which was lovely. We haven't seem Molly since the day after Christmas Day and she has changed a lot. She was very cute of course. We had just over 2 hours there and an hour and a half hours travelling each way, so a longish outing.

How about you?

[katypop]

I've worked all weekend, but it has been a very sad weekend. A woman I work with, whom I have known for quite a few years, is having a horrible weekend. Her son was in a horrific car accident late Friday night. The truck he was a passenger in hit another truck head on. He is very bruised but will mend physically...another passenger in his vehicle was killed. So were two young boys, 12 and 13 from the other vehicle. The driver of the truck he was in is charged with all 3 deaths and numerous other charges related to driving under the influence. Both trucks were demolished in fire from the impact. I am so sad for all of them. For the young boys killed in the other vehicle on their way home from a hockey game, for the parents of the young adult killed, for my friend's son who will live with the memory of this terrible night forever, and for the family of the young man who chose to drive while under the influence :sad1: Why, oh why, can we all not make a difference and stop impaired driving? The message is out there, time and time again. It is just so sad and senseless.

Yes, he is very lucky to be alive. His mom said she went to see the trucks, and can't believe that anyone survived. Of course she is very thankful her son survived, but very worried about his emotional state. My son used to work with her son a few years ago.They are close to the same age. He will be very upset to hear of this too. I can't believe his mom was able to come to work today, but I think it helped to keep her mind busy.

So are you definitely coming in May? Do I expand our brunch reservation and do I also change Raglan Road on Friday evening to include you and Barbara?

When one is microwaving left overs, it is strictly advised that one does not stick two fingers into said leftovers when the plastic wrap on such is blown up something short of a jiffy pop ready to explode... :eek:

(for our over seas friends... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTNXpxR25D0)

Doing such can cause scalding of such fingers, causing them to swell up like big old sausages, turn red and make you say things that are only heard on cable TV... :headache:

(I'll give you one guess who did this today...:hippie: :rolleyes1 )
(and you should have heard the words that came out of HER mouth :sad2: :sad2:)

In addition to bad language... lunch was ruined... (what a pity...):guilty:

Our advice to said stupid person :crazy: is to spend the rest of the day with her fingers in cool water and to refrain from taking any heavy utensils and beating the microwave up.

This PSA was brought to you by the non-profit Planky Council for Stupid Mistakes... all claims, complaints & product endorsements are the property of the PCSM... Please forward all comments to our offices... Our hours are from M-F 12 noon to 12:05 PM... (be nice to our secretary... she has a boo boo on her fingers... ) Void where prohibited...

We had such a great time today being outside! Tyler was driving his firetruck up and down the sidewalks. He's finally figured out how to steer pretty well, so after him having it for 3 years now, I decided to tell him the little secret about his firetruck. It comes locked into 2.5 mph, but there's a screw you can remove under the shifter that makes it to 5mph. So I did and he was just giggling like crazy at how fast he was going! Well, not fast for adults, but twice as fast as he's used to going, so he was just having a blast! ;)

I did more yardwork, filled a total of 6 big paper yardwaste bags. The front and sides are done, and about 1/4 of our back yard. I have no idea when I'll be able to finish since tomorrow is our late day getting home, Tuesday we're going to one of Tyler's friends' house, so maybe I can finish Wednesday after I drop him at his dad's if the weather stays nice. :thumbsup2 It was nice to see my tulips and lillies starting to pop up when I cleared the leaves away!

Quite a rock and rolling trip. Then I got sick on the last night.....you don't want to know the details....but think Norwalk virus symptoms.....I am better today, but yesterday was not too good......

But the rest of the trip was great! talk to you soon! Connie

[cquick]

Good morning all.

I woke up in a start, I was afraid I was late for work and had forgotten to turn on my alarm. It was quite a while until I realized it was Saturday. I even had to go look at my computer to be sure of the date.

I rather like it right now. The total silence in the house.

Oh face the truth. You woke up with a start because yo realized it was Saturday and I was going to be on the road and thus you wouldn't get your tweet from. That's what truly had you concerned. ;)

Hi All! Not much going on at home here either. John is cooking corned beef and cabbage and potatoes in the crock pot in BEER. He's using a dark stout and it adds great flavor. We're ready for St. Patrick's Day.

Marilyn and Deborah, do you guys celebrate it over there like we do here?

Ken and Shannon (I know you're away, but you'll see this eventually) how about you guys??? Kathe how about you???

I talked to my brother recently and he told me he finally got a permanent placement on a ship in Corpus Christie, TX. That's great news. Now he'll get paid vacation time when he's off the ship and he knows he has a job to go back to. I'm very happy for him.

Sandi sent us an email update. Tom is living with her Aunt down there (her mother's sister). She said he's doing well. He went back into school and will gratuate in May, he has a date for the prom and he joined the local volunteer fire department. I'm glad to hear that he's making some positive progress.

:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

We're doing Minnie's character breakfast for St. Patrick's Day. I guess the girls will be dressed up in their Minnie outfits, so I'm not sure how much green they will be wearing that day.

[MouseFaninQueue]

Can't post much as Shannon is reading over my shoulder. So that leaves me not able to post all the juicy details and keep it secret from her.

I'll post more tomorrow, but tonight I'm bagged and ready for bed. We made it down here and I think I got less than 6 hours sleep since Friday. And yes that will include an pdate on how it went with the girls and the big secret!

Tomorrow is first day in the park - I'm even too bagged to post pics (that Shannon took) tonight. Look for an update tomorrow night afte we get back. I'll make this thread mini trip report as we go along...

Night all. Morning Deborah and Marilyn.
