[LisaG520]

Hi there :wave2:

[MouseFaninQueue]

checking in between reno work and packing. Can't stay long.

I hate plumbing...

I think we have settled on a house - or at least of all the ones we have seen within our price range this one seems to be the best.

So now the real decision is if we sit and wait to see if anything better comes along or dive in on this one.

Does having a politician live 2 doors done increase or decrease the value of the house?

[ibouncetoo]

Is this a politician who may become a TARGET?????

HI LISA! :wave:

Only possibly by rotten tomatoes...

[katypop]

Hi Michelle :yay: Thanks for doing this!

Hi everyone :yay:

I'll have to get caught up tomorrow. I worked late and have to get up early for golf tomorrow...wish me luck...I think this is just the second time I've ever played, and it's been a few years since the first :rolleyes: Hopefully I'll still be able to move when the day is over :laughing:

[MouseFaninQueue]

so???? House 1, 2 or 3? Come on... I need to go and see so I can let you know... Sauna or no Sauna...


I think it was house #3. No sauna. No hot tub. But it has 2.5 baths. And the main bath has 2 sinks so Shannon likes that for the girls.

And it has a vaulted ceiling in the living room - perfectly suited for a big Christmas tree.

But I will have to move the patio stones where they have the BBQ right now. But I could leave the stones in and expand them so it can fit a hot tub...

[Tink rules]

Only possibly by rotten tomatoes...

That's all that survived my garden this year... ohhh and 1 red pepper and basil... I have to start to miracle gro earlier and get the electric fence up earlier so the big fat bunny wabbit doesn't get into the garden... :rolleyes:

Hi Michelle :yay: Thanks for doing this!

Hi Kathe!!! :yay:

Ohhh Golf... I don't play it unless I have to get a little ball through a windmill...

Good luck!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Tink rules]

Hey Ken...

Cool... Where's everyone else gonna sleep when we visit? :rolleyes:

[DisneyRN1]

Hi Vicki!!!

Best of luck on the house... get a St. Joseph and bury it in the back yard... I hear upside down...

Good Evening Your Majesty... princess:

[Tink rules]

Ken...

While you are reconstructing...

I figured I'd give you the list of upgrades/repairs I must make to the townhouse according to the board of directors... (that's the last time I run for the board...:rotfl:)

(and Kaz is going to say... "NO PROB.. you should be at MY house... :rotfl2:")

(btw... I knew of most of these...)

Replace driveway
repaint all the trim
replace the roof
replace the garage door
fix the light in front of the house

I also need to....

Fix and powerwash the deck
install a planter around the light in the front (so I can finally put pretty flowers in...)
Get rid of the crab grass that insists on living in my front yard no matter WHAT I put down to kill it.
install screens in 4 of the windows (2 currently have A/C's in them...)
They want me to take the a/c out of MY window, but I've threatened to sue every time I get a hot flash... :sad2:
install ceiling fans in all bedrooms


&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& If there is any time left (and money...) I'd like to gut the kitchen and my bathroom... and put a Bay window in the living room. Fix up my office...

Other than that... it's a really nice house...

Ohhhh and paint... FINALLY get the paint samples off the walls and actually put some color on them!!

Just a few ideas... :idea:

[Tink rules]

Deb...

How are you doing??? Just wanted to make sure you made it over here ok...

Hope your leg is doing better... :hug: :hug:

[LuvBaloo]

Hi folks!
I'm checking in :wave:

It was a rough day of bathroom reno's, but the old toilet & shower are out, and the rotten gyprock is down, and I've officially put up my first wall of gyprock and got it mudded. Tomorrow will be a busy day.

And as Ken already posted, we've mostly decided on the house we want, but haven't put an offer in yet. And yes, Michelle, you read correctly its 5 bedrooms, 3 upstairs and 2 downstairs. The 2 downstairs would end being the toy room and the craft room :thumbsup2

Time to head off to bed.

[granmaz]

Shannon, that is exciting news.

Hi!:) Its been a long time. Matt and I will be in WDW Oct.6-10th.

Hi. Lovely to hear from you. How are things?


I'm here!

Where have you been? What was wrong with the old thread?;)

Captain Spanx checking in!

Old Key West...

Are you in Old Key West in October? So are we!

[granmaz]

Captain Spanx checking in!

Hi John!!! I have to say on our next cruise meet thread Spanx is a popular topic of conversation, together with eye patches(not the pirate kind I might add:rotfl2:)

There is going to be a large number of Spanx onboard by all accounts!!:lmao:

[granmaz]

We are staying at BWV from Oct 2nd to 9th, and an offsite villa from 9th to 17th.:dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3:

[mishoe01]

Good morning all!

[granmaz]

Good morning Monica. You sound all bright and breezy.:thumbsup2

[fourmcds]

Following Michelle's request...and checking in :goodvibes
We will be at OKW from 10/9-10/24....with a mini retreat for Scott and I to BLT 10/12-10/14! (My mom and dad will be with us for the first week, so we get to sneak away and leave the girls with them).
Count us in for Hawaii...hoping to buy some points there when we go in October!

Hope everyone is doing well!
Michelle....if you promise not to laugh at my appearance (I am having another flair up with Bell's Palsy) I will give you details of our trip :) ...you will be there, right? It might not be much more than hanging in a hotel room, but would be fun to say hi!

So sorry to hear about the Bell's Palsy. It can be quite distressing I know.

I wonder if there is a date where a large number of us are all there.

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Friends....it was a very painful day for me yesterday and Uncle Teddy is in ICU today. So things are not going all that great.

Just wanted to check in at our new home. Thanks Michelle.

In October, we're staying off property at Staybridge Suites near downtown Disney both before and after our cruises.

Is anyone besides me and John and Lisa and Darrell doing the Food and Wine on the 17th?

I'm excited about the news for Hawaii. Marilyn, Lisa and Darrell were just there twice for work and they both loved it. They are not beach people and they found lots to do. You should check with Lisa.

It's near the end of Summer and October is right around the corner. I'm so happy. I need this nice long wonderful vacation. January's short, cold, getting sick time off....really didn't feel like vacation. I need long and warm and well time off....that's vacation.

[granmaz]

What did they say about your leg Deb?

I will certainly be looking into Hawaii if DCL do actually go, but I also fancy the Eastern Med, and that would be cheaper for us.

So if I come to stay... I can have the craft room???? I promise not to come out until I have something sewed, crocheted or at least glued really pretty... :flower3:

I'm just ignoring everything's that wrong with mine...




Just what did you think I did with mine?????

Oh and the QM's toilet is leaking... I see a trip to lowes in my near future...

This never happens to Betty Windsor, does it Ian?

Ohhh you're going... since when is it that you only take one cruise a year?????? :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 Start putthing those extra coins in a jar and count them up when you want to go... (american coins left over from Oct trip are also acceptable...)

[granmaz]

When is the expected 2012 announcement?

[Tink rules]

isn't something supposed to be rumored for when you are sailing next month?

[granmaz]

That is a pain as it is always a bigger pain to actually book onboard! OK, I know you get the onboard thingies, but all the waiting around.

Lets hope they give a little longer to think about things after the announcement before booking commences.

[HollyTyler]

Michelle, Heather says you need to add her, Tom & Bethany and also me & Tyler to the B2B list please. :flower3:

[ibouncetoo]

Chelle....Gayleen and John cancelled the 2 day cruise to nowhere.:guilty:

AND I just found out on facebook yesterday that my friend Pat is doing the 3 day portion of the Nov Dream B2B. :woohoo:I cruised with her on my first 7 day cruise and then a mess of us met up again for a three day the following year. I believe she is on the WBTA with some of you in a few weeks!

[katypop]

Hi all!

Vicki, John and Kaylee, nice to see you posting again!

I had an excellent day today! It looked like rain this morning but cleared and turned out to be a beautiful warm and sunny day! I had so much fun golfing :thumbsup2 We had a fun group of people, we played best ball and it still took us 5 hrs to get through 18 holes of golf though :rolleyes: I haven't had this many laughs all in one day for a long time. It felt good :goodvibes Of course I played horribly! I did have best ball three times over the course of the day though! We sat out on the patio when we were finished and had drinks and soaked up the sun. Then we were served a BBQ dinner of steaks and salads. Finished off the night by spending a few hours at a friend's house out in her yard, where she has a lovely pond. It was so relaxing after a busy day.

Deb, sending hugs for you and prayers and pixie dust for your uncle :grouphug:

V... I promise not to remove said Neville's from the list without at least a certified notarized note from said Neville's explaining why they cannot make it on your birthday.

Then and ONLY then will I remove them from the list...

Please tell them not to blow it...

Deb - sorry to hear about the pain. Just a month and a half until we see you guys :cool1:

And yep - we loved Hawaii and I never went in the ocean on either trip :lmao:

That is a pain as it is always a bigger pain to actually book onboard! OK, I know you get the onboard thingies, but all the waiting around.

Lets hope they give a little longer to think about things after the announcement before booking commences.


I agree about the pain of booking onboard - I think last time we just did the - drop the request in the box and then had them send us the info to the cabin so no actual face time with the desk.

Good to know about Hawaii.

Yes, we have dropped the request in the box, but don't you still have to see her to book?

[EllaEnchanted]

I will certainly be looking into Hawaii if DCL do actually go, but I also fancy the Eastern Med, and that would be cheaper for us.



The leg is the leg. The infection is gone, but it still keeps weeping and it's very painful. When I go for a doctor visit, the nurse scrubs the surface clean for the doc to get a good look. When they touch it I scream, much less scrub it. I only take half a vicodin and it's not enough. I don't like taking any more, it makes me sick. Then it hurts for 3 to 4 days after the appointment and I try not to take any more pain meds, but sometimes I do. The doctor told me I should get aggressive with it and keep soaking it in chlorine. I came home and soaked it right away and really screamed with pain. So I didn't soak it yesterday. I have to do it today. I dread it because it hurts still. The chlorine cleans it up nicely, but it doesn't seem to make a difference with the weeping.....so I don't know. I have a feeling that it's got a mind of it's own and it's going to do what it wants when it wants and there's not much we can do to change that. This time it's over a year since it has gone away completely. Then even when it does, I know it will only come back again. It's a good think I like this doctor because I have a feeling that he's going to be in my future for a very long time.

Then it hurts for 3 to 4 days after the appointment and I try not to take any more pain meds, but sometimes I do. The doctor told me I should get aggressive with it and keep soaking it in chlorine. I came home and soaked it right away and really screamed with pain. So I didn't soak it yesterday. I have to do it today. I dread it because it hurts still. The chlorine cleans it up nicely, but it doesn't seem to make a difference with the weeping.....so I don't know. I have a feeling that it's got a mind of it's own and it's going to do what it wants when it wants and there's not much we can do to change that. This time it's over a year since it has gone away completely. Then even when it does, I know it will only come back again. It's a good think I like this doctor because I have a feeling that he's going to be in my future for a very long time.



Aaaw, sounds horrible Deb. Knowing it is going to hurt so much is awful, but you're a star for doing it anyway.

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi all!

Vicki, John and Kaylee, nice to see you posting again!

I had an excellent day today! It looked like rain this morning but cleared and turned out to be a beautiful warm and sunny day! I had so much fun golfing :thumbsup2 We had a fun group of people, we played best ball and it still took us 5 hrs to get through 18 holes of golf though :rolleyes: I haven't had this many laughs all in one day for a long time. It felt good :goodvibes Of course I played horribly! I did have best ball three times over the course of the day though! We sat out on the patio when we were finished and had drinks and soaked up the sun. Then we were served a BBQ dinner of steaks and salads. Finished off the night by spending a few hours at a friend's house out in her yard, where she has a lovely pond. It was so relaxing after a busy day.


What an excellent day Kathe. Naturally, you played horribly....that's why you had so many laughs all day long. hahaha.:laughing::laughing: I'm so glad you had a great time.

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb, sending hugs for you and prayers and pixie dust for your uncle :grouphug:

Thanks Kathe, I'll take them. Uncle Teddy is still in ICU. I was arguing with my grandmother and my mother yesterday. I told them that they can't have my uncle. I told them that they had Brian and they weren't getting Unc. I told them that we needed him here with us.

It's so strange the things you do when you're scared of losing a loved one. I paniced yesterday. I called my cousin at work. He's an xray tech in Bradenton Florida. He asked me to please text. He said it's hard to explain to a patient when his cell rings. I found out that my uncle's lungs were filling with fluid. That paniced me. My cousin, Doug, was wonderful. He put my mind at ease when he called me back after he was done with his patient. He got all the hospital info and contacted them. Then he got back to me and let me know that it's not like pneumoneuia. His fluid is building because of his shallow breathing from his 3 broken ribs. This makes me feel a little better. They have him on a respirator.

I can't believe how strong and brave I was for my mom, but what a basket case I am for my uncle. I don't know why.

I'm going to go to the hospital on Long Island to see him this weekend.

[EllaEnchanted]

Sorry to hear this, Deb... :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Thanks Kaz....I know, it's so sad.

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb - sorry to hear about the pain. Just a month and a half until we see you guys :cool1:

And yep - we loved Hawaii and I never went in the ocean on either trip :lmao:




I agree about the pain of booking onboard - I think last time we just did the - drop the request in the box and then had them send us the info to the cabin so no actual face time with the desk.

Hi Lisa.....it won't be long now. I'm counting down the days. Does Lila wear tank tees? I got her some nice tink ones. I thought she could do the layered look and wear another tee under. I hope that works. They're really cute. I keep forgetting that it's only 3 days. I have way more than just 3 things. I'm having WAY TOO MUCH FUN buying for a GIRL. I'll have to fill all the pockets of the FE. haha. Of course, Lila has all the gifts....haha. I have to still pick up stuff for the adults. :rolleyes1

[EllaEnchanted]

Aaaw, sounds horrible Deb. Knowing it is going to hurt so much is awful, but you're a star for doing it anyway.

That's why I dread doctor appointments....I know that it's a day of pain with many more days of pain to follow. But it is a necessary evil, so we do what we must and we're thankful for drugs, even if we only take a little.

[mishoe01]

:hug::hug::grouphug::grouphug::hug::hug: to you Deb - sorry that you need to go through all of this crap w/ your leg as well as dealing w/ your uncle. Prayers going out to you & him. Glad your cousin was able to help you out yesterday.

[mishoe01]

Kathe - sounds like it was a great day :goodvibes

Hi V, Bubba, Nan, Shannon & Ken!

Hi Michelle, Kaz, Maz, Kaylee, Gydell!

Hi Cheri, Jackie, Ian, Lisa!

I'm getting so excited for all the people coming to my neck of the woods soon!

I get to see Gydell, Bill, Brent & Betsy at Chef Mickey's on the 4th of September (830am :scared1:) :cool1::dance3: then may hang out a bit at a park with them too. Not too sure exactly what I will eat on the buffet (really trying to be good) but will plan for it :thumbsup2

[mishoe01]

I walked 4.2 miles last night w/ Will & Mickey. I'm a tad bit sore today but happy about it.

We met at the bus depot near the parking lot at the Ft Wilderness campground. It's 1.1 mile from there to the Settlement (where we stopped, used the facilities & got some water) before heading over to the Ft Wilderness Resort (1 mile). Stopped there for a few moments (Mickey needed to show his ID at the front desk) then headed back. I wasn't sure I'd make it, but I did :woohoo:

My friend Marlene (who is doing the Alaska cruise w/ me) will be walking w/ me either tomorrow or Saturday. I'm going to Epcot Saturday to say HI to Emily, Jason & her parents who are doing the pin trading event at the World Showplace. Figure I will walk around the lagoon atleast 1 time (1.1 miles if I remember correctly).

Thanks Deb - I'm down almost 11 lbs....must keep it going. Talked my sister out of the 1/2 marathon in February and into the 5k - I KNOW I can do the 5k - maybe the 1/2 in 2012.

[granmaz]

Well done Monica!!:thumbsup2

[mishoe01]

Forgot to post - re: Hawaii

I'm in for the cruise - I've been on Oahu & would love to see the other islands w/o having to do the puddle-jumpers in between. Plus I want those sea days. I'd go in May.

Is May the best weather wise?

You could be right. Parents seem to like taking kids out of school at the beginning of the year rather than the end. All depends on the actual DCL dates of course.

TBH, I kinda like the idea of September - but I'm biased as it would be our 30th Wedding Anniversary that month... :goodvibes

I'll take just the 3 of you then :)

[EllaEnchanted]

Do you think that they'll put one ship en route to Hawaii in May and leave her there and island hop all summer? Then bring her back in September? Is that a possibility since they will have four ships in the water by then AND they will have the hotel operating. I'm just saying....then we could do a B2B with a hotel stay.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[granmaz]

I think that is what has been rumoured the most Deb.

OH Good!! Then I better save up my deposit money for next month. I'm sure it's going to be steep, but well worth it. I have the 2011 WBTA to cancel and can use that deposit money to transfer.;)

[HollyTyler]

Psychiatric appt. today. Last one was almost 3 months ago. Instead of monthly, he started spreading them out since things have been stable. Reduced dose of one med last time and he said he's hoping to eliminate one dose completely at today's appointment. I think that would be good. Although there are still problems with aggression and physical stuff (last week he threw a chair at a child and tried to push over a tall cabinet onto a teacher), things did not get worse when we reduced the med last 2 times, which is GREAT! Anything left is really stuff he needs to work on learning controlling himself (which is what he's working on with the psychologist weekly), so I feel comfortable reducing the dose again. :goodvibes PLUS, he's going back to school in less 2 weeks, where he's comfortable and feels secure, so he should be fine. :goodvibes

Yes, it is up and downs but I just want to saying that you done your best with your leg... I think it will take a long times but please patience with it...You are nice lady and good heart too.... sometime not fair on you with your leg can be frustrated but it take times....

I sometime frustrated with my hearing as I see people laughed and I don't know what is it about as I missed out lot and sometime I have been patience and another time I get so frustrated....All through my life and sometime I just wish I born with hearing...sometime I asked why me why I missed out lots but I am lucky to have a lovely family... that is me...

Thanks Deb, you are so right. We are who we are. Sometimes it can frustrate us if we have hard things to deal with, but we have so many good things too and we should always be thankful for those. My mom always told me, "I know all of your strengths and all of your weaknesses and I love you no matter what." I guess that's what it's all about. That's all that matters. Hug that family of yours and know that you are blessed....and Deb....we love you too!

A resort might be the easiest, at least to get room for all of us. We're staying at Old Key West on this trip.

I've haven't been very engaged in what's been going on since honestly nearly all of my energy is spent just trying to get through each day at work and coping with the stress.

Ian, sorry that your vacation is over and that you've had to come back to reality...and that your reality is your current job :sad2: :hug:

I think a resort or downtown disney might work best too. Anyone have ideas :idea:

I have to say goodnight now. I'm done for the day! Worked all day and have to be back to work at 6:30 am. Was it only yesterday that I was saying what a wonderful day off I had :rolleyes:

I can't believe how strong and brave I was for my mom, but what a basket case I am for my uncle. I don't know why.

I'm going to go to the hospital on Long Island to see him this weekend.



:hug: :hug: :hug: You were strong because you had to be. It probably never even occurred to you to be. You just were... :hug:

Thanks Deb - I'm down almost 11 lbs....must keep it going. Talked my sister out of the 1/2 marathon in February and into the 5k - I KNOW I can do the 5k - maybe the 1/2 in 2012.

I know you can do it!!! :cheer2: :cheer2:

TBH, I kinda like the idea of September - but I'm biased as it would be our 30th Wedding Anniversary that month... :goodvibes

YOU'RE GOING IN MAY...KNOCK IT OFF!!! :lmao:

Yes, it is up and downs but I just want to saying that you done your best with your leg... I think it will take a long times but please patience with it...You are nice lady and good heart too.... sometime not fair on you with your leg can be frustrated but it take times....

I sometime frustrated with my hearing as I see people laughed and I don't know what is it about as I missed out lot and sometime I have been patience and another time I get so frustrated....All through my life and sometime I just wish I born with hearing...sometime I asked why me why I missed out lots but I am lucky to have a lovely family... that is me...

That is life....

You are very special and you've also opened up a world to US and those of us who have never had a friend with hearing loss. :thumbsup2

First of all:

:grouphug:I LOVE YOU GUYS!:grouphug:




Second...and in the same theme, I wanted to show what sweet Kaz did for sweet Mandy (who often felt a little sad when she would see a WBPC Champagne girls photo).

Good 'photo shop' job, Kaz!


.

LOVE the pic... but couldn't you have put her next to me??? Then we could have gotten rid of HER!!!! :scared1:

Isn't that just brilliant?! :dance3:

See Deb...I was there really!!!:rotfl:

Lovely!!!! :littleangel: :littleangel:

[EllaEnchanted]

We arrive on the 9th and leave on the 23rd so I'm sure we'll be available.

We'll take your cell numbers and check in with you each day to see if we can coordinate. We have no set plans. We would love to hang with you. We're available Sun-Thurs 10/17-21. Isn't Lucy and Ben going to be with you and Sukie?

[katypop]

oops duplicate!

Goodnight!

[Tink rules]

So what's the scoop with a get together in October?

A resort might be the easiest, at least to get room for all of us. We're staying at Old Key West on this trip.

I've haven't been very engaged in what's been going on since honestly nearly all of my energy is spent just trying to get through each day at work and coping with the stress.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

Ian, sorry that your vacation is over and that you've had to come back to reality...and that your reality is your current job :sad2: :hug:

I think a resort or downtown disney might work best too. Anyone have ideas :idea:

I have to say goodnight now. I'm done for the day! Worked all day and have to be back to work at 6:30 am. Was it only yesterday that I was saying what a wonderful day off I had :rolleyes:

Just tell me where to send the QM...

[Tink rules]

Hi Kathe! :yay:

[EllaEnchanted]

:confused3

Are you able to meet up on the 15th? I am cruising on the 16th but am hoping to meet up with Monica and Marilyn and John and anyone else that might be available on the 15th.

I'm going to miss you this trip, aren't I? We'll hope to see you in April for the LA Repo then. Have a great trip in October. Know that you will be very missed.

The leg is the leg. The infection is gone, but it still keeps weeping and it's very painful. When I go for a doctor visit, the nurse scrubs the surface clean for the doc to get a good look. When they touch it I scream, much less scrub it. I only take half a vicodin and it's not enough. I don't like taking any more, it makes me sick. Then it hurts for 3 to 4 days after the appointment and I try not to take any more pain meds, but sometimes I do. The doctor told me I should get aggressive with it and keep soaking it in chlorine. I came home and soaked it right away and really screamed with pain. So I didn't soak it yesterday. I have to do it today. I dread it because it hurts still. The chlorine cleans it up nicely, but it doesn't seem to make a difference with the weeping.....so I don't know. I have a feeling that it's got a mind of it's own and it's going to do what it wants when it wants and there's not much we can do to change that. This time it's over a year since it has gone away completely. Then even when it does, I know it will only come back again. It's a good think I like this doctor because I have a feeling that he's going to be in my future for a very long time.

I walked 4.2 miles last night w/ Will & Mickey. I'm a tad bit sore today but happy about it.

We met at the bus depot near the parking lot at the Ft Wilderness campground. It's 1.1 mile from there to the Settlement (where we stopped, used the facilities & got some water) before heading over to the Ft Wilderness Resort (1 mile). Stopped there for a few moments (Mickey needed to show his ID at the front desk) then headed back. I wasn't sure I'd make it, but I did :woohoo:

My friend Marlene (who is doing the Alaska cruise w/ me) will be walking w/ me either tomorrow or Saturday. I'm going to Epcot Saturday to say HI to Emily, Jason & her parents who are doing the pin trading event at the World Showplace. Figure I will walk around the lagoon atleast 1 time (1.1 miles if I remember correctly).
Monica, you are amazing! :goodvibes :thumbsup2

[HollyTyler]

Thanks Deb - I'm down almost 11 lbs....must keep it going. Talked my sister out of the 1/2 marathon in February and into the 5k - I KNOW I can do the 5k - maybe the 1/2 in 2012.

Well, yeah, you did MORE than a 5K last night! Woohoo!!!! Wow, 11 pounds is SUPER!!!! :goodvibes Great job!!!

[HollyTyler]

Is May the best weather wise?

I decided on May because I figure it will be easier on Tyler to miss school near the end of the school year rather than at the beginning. :thumbsup2

Of course, since we're doing TWO cruises next year, I doubt I'll be able to swing paying the deposit for another one so soon after paying for the two, but certainly want to try! :thumbsup2

[iankh]

The venue that springs to mind it the restaurant at Saratoga Springs. It's looked quite room to me and they have a very large outdoor patio, one of the only restaurants in WDW that does have one, aside from Olivia's at Old Key West.

It also has never looked all that busy, which is important because they are going to want to usher us out at a busy place to free up tables.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I just keep focusing on the thought that "this too shall end," and eventually I'll move on, or just have to slap the crap out of them!

[HollyTyler]

Things certainly sound to be improving Holly.

I told the doctor today that I've only been called at work to pick Tyler up early TWICE this summer, as compared to at least once a week last summer. It certainly helps that he's in a better environment, because they have so many more options for him when things aren't going well, since there are so many more adults and different activities. Tyler asked me today if he can do the YMCA for summer vacation next year too. :thumbsup2 This week is so fun for him, they go to the bowling alley EVERY DAY, before lunch, come back to the Y for lunch, then they're taken by bus to a park for a while, then they come back to swim in the pool the rest of the day. Next week instead of bowling, he'll be going to an IMAX theater EVERY DAY! :goodvibes Last week was cooking every day and learning about healthy snacks and healthy food choices.

Anyway, the psych told us today he doesn't want to cut the dosage on one med right now when school is about to start. Scheduled us to return in October, but if things are going well in a month, we are to call him and he'll give us the OK to cut the dose then, which will just be eliminating 1 of the 2 doses of one med. He told Tyler that it's all up to him this time (because he knows Tyler wants to keep decreasing meds).

[HollyTyler]

:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

[HollyTyler]

Holly, I'm glad that things are stabilizing and that you can now look at reducing the meds :thumbsup2 Is Tyler excited then about going back to school?

No, he's not looking forward to it. He's a nervous wreck. Although I say he's comfortable and secure there, I mean relative to a daycare setting. In his classroom, he can have the outbursts and explosions and know he's not going to be made fun of or get in trouble. They expect it and are prepared for it, there's a padded room (literally) with shatterproof glass and a steel door, the kids go in there and rage, then return to their desk and can move on and continue with their day. But school is not a fun place for him because of how he struggles academically. Even though he's had such major improvements academically, he knows he's way behind his friends and other kids his age, so it really bothers him, and he'll keep trying until he's overwhelmed and frustrated and angry. It's exhausting for him.

BUT.....we were shopping today and he found some gifts he wants to bring for his teacher (who he loves to death, and he's her favorite), and he wrote the alphabet (both uppercase and lowercase) and a couple math problems because he wants her to see how well he's doing. ;) Such a cutie pie!

AND.....we went to a whole bunch of stores until he picked out the perfect outfit for his first day back (knowing we can't get it until payday, but he's fine with that). This outfit includes a hat, sort of what I think looks like an old fashioned gangster hat, LOL! :lmao:

[HollyTyler]

Deborah, I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you, but you are almost always upbeat and enjoying life, and have the best smile :) (which Olivia shares by the way!) :grouphug:

Hey Deborah, notice how she said "almost always upbeat"? :rotfl2: I think she's saying you're crabby sometimes! :lmao:

Just kidding, we love you! (And your smile!) ;)

I don't know what Club 33 is, but have a great time!!! :dance3: Yeah, yeah, I know, I should google it. Too lazy when I know somebody here will fill me in. ;)

[HollyTyler]

So I picked up some flyers when I picked Tyler up from the Y a couple days ago and have decided on payday I'm signing up for some exercise classes. I'm motivated by Monica's walking! :thumbsup2 I know I should start with just one, but I'm afraid if I do that, I'll get lazy the other 6 days of the week and end up not wanting to go back to class the next week. So starting Sept. 7 I'll have Beginning Belly Dancing on Monday evenings, Women on Weights Tues & Thurs evenings, and Zumba Saturdays at noon. I told Tyler he's stuck coming with me 4 days a week, but he said "That's OK, I want you to get healthy, I'll just swim in the pool while you do that". :thumbsup2 He's trying to steer me away from donuts too. :rotfl2: That's an impossible job. I told him I wanted to stop for a donut one day recently, and he told me he's made a deal with himself that he's not going to have any donuts for 3 years and wants me to join him. :eek: He's completely lost his mind. :headache:

[nskjerven]

I don't know what Club 33 is, but have a great time!!! :dance3: Yeah, yeah, I know, I should google it. Too lazy when I know somebody here will fill me in. ;)

you have zero memory :laughing:....it's the Private Disney club. I think Marilyn and the Morkerts have shared their adventures there. I'm not sure who my friend got the resservation from but I'm grateful for it :banana:

[granmaz]

Deborah, I missed your post about how you feel sometimes being deaf. Lots of love to you. I forget you are deaf you know, even when I am with you!! You're a star.

Yeah, Maz but I think it's Mandy's inner glow. She is an angel after all... :angel:

Or maybe I forgot to balance the skin tones.

Don't rebalance her, I like that she is lit!!!

Deb, sure wish we could just wave that magic wand and make everything better:grouphug:

Me too!

Are you able to meet up on the 15th? I am cruising on the 16th but am hoping to meet up with Monica and Marilyn and John and anyone else that might be available on the 15th.

Great!!

:thumbsup2 Great! We haven't decided where to meet yet. Any ideas would be welcomed! I think Monica has to work during the day but is able to join us after 7:00 . So, in park or out of park? Downtown Disney or resort??? Dinner??? Let's get planning :cool1:

Out of a park would be best for us.

A resort might be the easiest, at least to get room for all of us. We're staying at Old Key West on this trip.

I've haven't been very engaged in what's been going on since honestly nearly all of my energy is spent just trying to get through each day at work and coping with the stress.

I do think the Turf Club is bigger than Olivias, and if the weather is good then the patio would be lovely!!!

One of our grandsons is struggling, and the worst thing is seeing him know he is so behind everyone. He makes comments about being stupid etc. Though the school is really good, they kept ignoring his mum's concerns until they started looking at his younger sisters. He is worse than them.:confused3 Anyway they did test him and he has dyslexia, which his parent's thought, but he could have been having help for much longer and his confidence might have been better.

you have zero memory :laughing:....it's the Private Disney club. I think Marilyn and the Morkerts have shared their adventures there. I'm not sure who my friend got the resservation from but I'm grateful for it :banana:

How about Portobello at DTD? Or Wolfgang Puck Express? Or there is that room at Capt. Jacks...

There's food for Sukie at Saratoga Springs. Captain Jack's has absolutely nothing he would eat, we've checked it out before.

You can mention the pumpkin ravioli from Wolfgang Puck to Sukie. I promised to help you get up off the ground after he knocks you down.

Portobello is a possibility.

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Deb. How's your leg this morning? Is the pain settling yet. I hope so.

Good Morning Marilyn, no actually it's not good this morning. I'm considering taking a pain pill, but I'm trying not too. I'll see how long I can tolerate it or if it subsides.

Speaking of pain, you are one to talk. You're living with it constantly now too. How do you cope?

[EllaEnchanted]

Portobello is a possibility.



Good Morning Ian, I hope today at work is not as taxing for you. After all it is Friday. Hopefully they will ease off just a bit. ;)

If I were you I would take the pain pill Deb. If you don't and then if it gets worse it takes longer for the painkillers to work.

I'm doing ok thanks. Didn't have a good weekend, but had 2 decent days. Not too good today though. At least the pain meds do work, but it does take 1 and half hours to really feel comfortable and I think that is a looooong time!!

I'm going to have to be really careful what I eat on the cruise though this time, and that isn't what cruises are for is it?:lmao: Can't be airlifted in the middle of the Atlantic.:eek:

When I get back I will go to the doctors unless I am much better. That puts the next vacation in jeopardy though, and we have to pay in a few weeks, plus get flights. Don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry you're feeling so poorly too. But we don't let it slow us down. It's amazing what you can get used to, isn't it.

If I were in your shoes, I would cancel the PC and sign up for the LA Repo and first Alaska B2B and join all the Thieves. hahaha.

It is amazing how you can get on with life with a background of pain I agree. I think there are many many people out there doing just that. There happens to be a lady on our TA cruise with chronic pancreatitis. She is on morphine all the time and does have to pace herself. Occasionally it flares up worse and she has to go to bed for a few days, but otherwise I think she does get out and about, and has already done a DCL Med cruise this year. She can't get insurance though, so she is playing with fire as imagine what a stay in a US hospital could cost her, particularly if she has to go in ICU or even just have serious care and medication etc!!!:scared1:

Hey, well tried about the cruises!!! I think we might be on Crete with friends at their place at that time. Looks like a busy year for us in Europe. Hopefully will be booking France for early June too.

[BubbaGrump]

Why does any one even waste their time conversing with that guy! You know the one. Telling people not to waste their time going to a Palo dinner on the Oct 12 2011 thread. That guy doesnt like anything but himself! Poor first time cruisers need to stay away from that guy!!!

[BubbaGrump]

And he is NOT a pirate:, so why is he included on the first page???:snooty:

[katypop]

I'm going to miss you this trip, aren't I? We'll hope to see you in April for the LA Repo then. Have a great trip in October. Know that you will be very missed.



Yes, I'll miss you :sad2: But I will definately see you on the Repo/Alaska next April :thumbsup2

The venue that springs to mind it the restaurant at Saratoga Springs. It's looked quite room to me and they have a very large outdoor patio, one of the only restaurants in WDW that does have one, aside from Olivia's at Old Key West.

It also has never looked all that busy, which is important because they are going to want to usher us out at a busy place to free up tables.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I just keep focusing on the thought that "this too shall end," and eventually I'll move on, or just have to slap the crap out of them!

I vote for slapping the crap out of them, at least that would be fun! ;)



Out of a park would be best for us.

Sorry things still aren't good work wise for you Ian.

I do think the Turf Club is bigger than Olivias, and if the weather is good then the patio would be lovely!!!



Ian I think you should do both, slap the crap out of them, then move on ;)

Saratoga Springs would be fine with me. It's one resort I have not been to yet, except to ride by on a bus. Are you staying there this trip Ian?

Monica, would this work for you?

[katypop]

Hey Deborah, notice how she said "almost always upbeat"? :rotfl2: I think she's saying you're crabby sometimes! :lmao:

Just kidding, we love you! (And your smile!) ;)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I think I am recalling once or twice when you have spoken of work Deborah, you may not always have been upbeat , that's all I'm saying :rolleyes1 :laughing:

[katypop]

No, he's not looking forward to it. He's a nervous wreck. Although I say he's comfortable and secure there, I mean relative to a daycare setting. In his classroom, he can have the outbursts and explosions and know he's not going to be made fun of or get in trouble. They expect it and are prepared for it, there's a padded room (literally) with shatterproof glass and a steel door, the kids go in there and rage, then return to their desk and can move on and continue with their day. But school is not a fun place for him because of how he struggles academically. Even though he's had such major improvements academically, he knows he's way behind his friends and other kids his age, so it really bothers him, and he'll keep trying until he's overwhelmed and frustrated and angry. It's exhausting for him.

BUT.....we were shopping today and he found some gifts he wants to bring for his teacher (who he loves to death, and he's her favorite), and he wrote the alphabet (both uppercase and lowercase) and a couple math problems because he wants her to see how well he's doing. ;) Such a cutie pie!

AND.....we went to a whole bunch of stores until he picked out the perfect outfit for his first day back (knowing we can't get it until payday, but he's fine with that). This outfit includes a hat, sort of what I think looks like an old fashioned gangster hat, LOL! :lmao:

Oh, I'm sorry he is so anxious about school :hug: I bet that he'll do so much better this year though, and gain some confidence.We will definately need to see a pic of him in his new outfit :thumbsup2

[katypop]

I'm taking tomorrow off and headed to DISNEYLAND to meet CHERI and another Diser friend Brenda ....Cheri hasn't spilled our beans - we are having lunch at Club 33 on Saturday :cheer2: details to follow on FB - please copy and paste the pictures for my dear friend Kathe (who is technically impaired :laughing: love ya Kathe :upsidedow


Thanks Nan (and Michelle) for taking care of me :flower3::flower3:

If I were you I would take the pain pill Deb. If you don't and then if it gets worse it takes longer for the painkillers to work.

I'm doing ok thanks. Didn't have a good weekend, but had 2 decent days. Not too good today though. At least the pain meds do work, but it does take 1 and half hours to really feel comfortable and I think that is a looooong time!!

I'm going to have to be really careful what I eat on the cruise though this time, and that isn't what cruises are for is it?:lmao: Can't be airlifted in the middle of the Atlantic.:eek:

When I get back I will go to the doctors unless I am much better. That puts the next vacation in jeopardy though, and we have to pay in a few weeks, plus get flights. Don't know what to do.

Marilyn, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were still having such a bad time of it. I hope the pain goes away very soon so that it will not even be an issue :grouphug:

[HollyTyler]

you have zero memory :laughing:....it's the Private Disney club. I think Marilyn and the Morkerts have shared their adventures there. I'm not sure who my friend got the resservation from but I'm grateful for it :banana:

I honestly DO have a rotten memory! :lmao: I think I remember hearing about it. Hope you have a great time! :thumbsup2

[HollyTyler]

One of our grandsons is struggling, and the worst thing is seeing him know he is so behind everyone. He makes comments about being stupid etc. Though the school is really good, they kept ignoring his mum's concerns until they started looking at his younger sisters. He is worse than them.:confused3 Anyway they did test him and he has dyslexia, which his parent's thought, but he could have been having help for much longer and his confidence might have been better.


It makes me so sad to hear of any child having such a blow to their confidence, how sad that the school wouldn't help him sooner. But maybe now he'll get some help and things will improve for him. Good that they caught the sisters now too. Does he feel better knowing he'll get some help? :thumbsup2

[HollyTyler]

Good Morning Marilyn, no actually it's not good this morning. I'm considering taking a pain pill, but I'm trying not too. I'll see how long I can tolerate it or if it subsides.

Speaking of pain, you are one to talk. You're living with it constantly now too. How do you cope?

:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: Sorry Deb. OH......I have to PM you.

There's food for Sukie at Saratoga Springs. Captain Jack's has absolutely nothing he would eat, we've checked it out before.

You can mention the pumpkin ravioli from Wolfgang Puck to Sukie. I promised to help you get up off the ground after he knocks you down.

Ok.. no to the pumpkin... I don't think I'd like it either...

Portobello is a possibility.

I just spent a bunch of time reading about it on their website and seeing all the pictures. Nice! But $59.00 for a kids meal, holy cow! :lmao: Oh.....and the waiting list to join is closed, but they said it's about a 14 year wait! :rotfl: VERY cool though! :goodvibes

OK now I know who you're talking about.....he's on mine and Lisa and Darrell's October 14, 2010 cruise too. I just ignore his posts, but it is hard if he's posting and the newbies are listening to him. I agree. He's like sandpaper. Ouch!:headache:

So I broke the news to Tyler about the Mars sighting being a hoax, found info about that on NASA's site to read to him. But we ARE going outside to watch the space station go buy. 4 minutes of staring at the sky. He's struggling to stay awake, but only has 13 min to go. ;)

[LisaG520]

Good Morning Lisa, but I hate taking those pills. They make me feel sick and then I fall asleep. The pain is only because I saw the doctor on Tuesday. It will get better and go away. It won't get worse.

Good to know it won't feel worse. I have problems with a few different pain pills too - make me very sick so I ended up feeling worse than just the original pain so I understand that.

[LisaG520]

Lisa, did you love BB last night? I thought it was going to be Matt and Ragan and surprise it was Brendon and I was elated!!!!!:goodvibes

I was soo happy! Now we won't have to hear about Rachel any more :cool1:

Oh, you do really have issues, though as you have actually met him you know more than i do. I ignore his annoying posts and appreciate anything helpful. I laugh more now!!! One or two on our thread now make an odd comment in reply to him, so he isn't having everything his own way!!:lmao:

Marilyn, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were still having such a bad time of it. I hope the pain goes away very soon so that it will not even be an issue :grouphug:

Thanks Kathe. The pain is a pain to be honest, but it really does help to focus on the fact that there are so many others out there much much worse, including our lovely neighbour with terminal bowel cancer.

John helped put up some wardrobes, desks and drawers for his room when they moved house and had Nathan reading the instructions. At first Nathan said he couldn't read it, but John gave him some pointers, and in the end, he even managed to build a small chest of drawers himself!! He was very pleased with himself and proved he could read more than he thought. A while later his dad made a chest of drawers up, and Nathan pointed it out that he had done it wrong. His dad said 'don't be silly it is fine'(as dads do), but later had to go and apologise as Nathan was right!!!!!:rotfl2::rotfl2: Nathan is a little entrepreneur and has had a few mini businesses(he is 10) and only wants to own his own business. I bet he does it too.

Uggghhh......I've been trying to reach my mom for a month, and finally got hold of her. She doesn't have long distance, so she doesn't call me. She only gets online about once a month, so emails aren't a good way to contact her either. I've been trying to call her, but her phone was acting up. She told me in an email that when she answers the phone, she can hear the person calling, but whoever is calling can't hear her. I told her she's probably accidentally pushing the "mute" button or something strange. She emailed me to tell me that somehow she figured out that if she uses speakerphone, that works, so I called her. She was complaining about the damn the phone not working, so I told her to get a new one. "Oh no, can't do that, it's only 4 years old, so there should NOT be anything wrong with it." I told her 4 years is a long life for a phone and she about went through the roof because her last phone before this one was bought in 1991 and worked up until 4 years ago. Good grief! She certainly acts like she's 90 instead of 60. That woman is NUTSO!!!!! :rotfl2:

Good Morning Friends.....I spent the weekend on Long Island visiting Uncle Teddy in the hospital. He's doing ok. He's out of the ICU and into a standard room. Hopefully, he will go home today. So that's good news. Thanks for all your well wishes.

In three more days Casey and his girlfriend Brittany are coming for a visit. It started out as a trip up north for Casey to visit family and his girlfriend has turned it into a trip up north for her to visit NYC. They extended their visit by one day. We're doing Long Island one day, PA one day and now NYC one day. That's recently added. Casey was only going to do LI and PA to see relatives. Brittany has added a day of them doing NYC. I'm not going with them to do that. They have a million places they want to see and I just can't and won't go running all over Manhattan anymore. I told them that I've done it a zillion times, you go and have fun. They're clueless how much everything is going to cost, but they'll find out. They don't have the budget for it. This should be enlightening. Also, they have no idea where they're going so they will get lost. I hope they don't look so obvious and get mugged.

I'm a little upset that all the plans changed four days before they were due to arrive....with the focus on her wants not his. But he's paying. This should be a lot of fun. Casey is henpecked already.

Good Morning Friends.....I spent the weekend on Long Island visiting Uncle Teddy in the hospital. He's doing ok. He's out of the ICU and into a standard room. Hopefully, he will go home today. So that's good news. Thanks for all your well wishes.

In three more days Casey and his girlfriend Brittany are coming for a visit. It started out as a trip up north for Casey to visit family and his girlfriend has turned it into a trip up north for her to visit NYC. They extended their visit by one day. We're doing Long Island one day, PA one day and now NYC one day. That's recently added. Casey was only going to do LI and PA to see relatives. Brittany has added a day of them doing NYC. I'm not going with them to do that. They have a million places they want to see and I just can't and won't go running all over Manhattan anymore. I told them that I've done it a zillion times, you go and have fun. They're clueless how much everything is going to cost, but they'll find out. They don't have the budget for it. This should be enlightening. Also, they have no idea where they're going so they will get lost. I hope they don't look so obvious and get mugged.

I'm a little upset that all the plans changed four days before they were due to arrive....with the focus on her wants not his. But he's paying. This should be a lot of fun. Casey is henpecked already.
Well, I hope it still manages to be a nice visit with Casey & Brittany. This is the first time you'll be meeting her, right? Glad to hear Uncle Teddy is out of ICU! :thumbsup2

I took the offender out... enough thieves agree....

I'm sure there is something written in our official Charter... maybe in Chapter 3 sub paragraph 684 about throwing someone out of our group... :rotfl:

who are you talking about ALAN??? :stir:

I know you've already had your party, but hope you are enjoying your special day :hug:

(At least ONE of us remembered... :scared1:)

Best of everything Holly!!!! :dance3: :dance3::dance3::dance3:
Thanks! But it really feels like it was over after that weekend, so today doesn't feel like the real day. I've already been wearing my "40" pins from Deb, so I've been treating it as if it already happened. ;) Today was a long day at work and a little necessary running around afterwards, so I didn't get home until about 8:30pm. Long day.

[HollyTyler]

Oh, and my mom surprised me by showing up at work this afternoon with flowers and a birthday card for me. :thumbsup2

[Tink rules]

I already told him off... besides... it's Monday... wait a couple of hours and then go at it!!! :thumbsup2

You know... usually we give you a birthday "month"... but August ends TOMORROW!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Awwww that was sweet!!! :flower3: :flower3: :flower3:

Yes, that was sweet of my mom. SOOOOOO unlike her! :rotfl2:

And since August ends tomorrow, that means I have to go to the Secretary of State on my lunch hour and renew my license plate and driver's license! Oh.....and I switched to Geico and saved a couple hundred bucks. :rotfl2: Seriously, I really did. I hate those commercials, but now I can do my own. ;)

Marilyn & Deborah won't have a clue what Geico is, I'm sure! ;) Car insurance company that has a cute little talking Gecko as his mascot doing funny commercials, and most of their commercials have people saying "I switched to Geico and saved $400". LOL!

[Tink rules]

Marilyn has spent enough time stateside to know what Geico is...

BUT...
she hasn't seen the latest commercial.. I LOVE the piggy... (until you've seen it like 100 times in a row...:rotfl2:)

I like Marilyn's suggestions. Definitely change the font. Maybe you could do just one more....with Mickey and Minnie and a full moon. Those are always so romantic. Thanks sweetie.

He is a sweetie!!

Deborah, I love that one. A FB friend posted it last week and I had such a good laugh. I wouldn't have been laughing though if I had sat on the bed!!!:eek:

[1Grumpy John]

:wave2: John! How's your head?

head much better no more spinning (Doc changed the dose on my blood pressure meds)

I'm liking the idea!!!



I would agree. How about a little deeper pink for the rose garland. Perhaps the year they got married on the left hand side? I guess that would be 1985? How is my maths?;)

We are so impressed here. John is in the middle of printing out our magnets for this cruise, and the two you did have come out wonderful!!

thanks and will try on this one :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[LuvBaloo]

Jumping on to say a quick hello!

Life has been busy.
I started my new job yesterday. It was not a good first day. I got my HR paperwork done, did a safety orientation and was sent home because my new boss was sick and there was nobody available to train me. But that was okay to get paid for a full day and only work for 2. Ended up working out really well, as I went and met with the realtor and got the paperwork done to put an offer on a house. It was accepted, so now we just have to get the home inspection done, and if its all good, we'll be moved into the new house by mid-October at the latest! :)
Today was day 2 at work, and I actually was very busy learning and doing stuff. So far, I'm enjoying it :)
Hope everybody is doing well. I won't be able to read much and get caught up, as tomorrow is family dinner at Ken's dads. Ken's grandparents are in town for his sisters wedding on Saturday. Ken's mom arrives tomorrow, and his aunt &family arrive the next day. Its going to be a busy few days, but hopefully it'll be good weather on Sat for the outdoor wedding.

:wave: Hi everybody! I'm missing being up-to-date, but I will get there again when life calms down.

[Tink rules]

Glad to hear from you!! Wondered how the first day went...

So... which house???

Have fun this weekend!!! Take pictures!!! :thumbsup2

Hi Shannon, and thanks for the update. Sorry your first day wasn't too good, but it looks like things are improving.

Great news about your new home. Have you sold your own already?

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Shannon....it sounds like all good things are happening...as they should. I'm so glad for you, even though it's really hectic....a new job, a new home and a family wedding all at the same time is just crazy, but a whole lot of fun too. Enjoy!!! Can't wait for all the pics!!!

[EllaEnchanted]

So Earl is coming. He's currently a category 3 hurricane expected to hit the Carolina coastline on Friday. Casey and his girlfriend, Brittany, are supposed to be driving up here from Virginia on Thursday. That's cutting it a little too close for me and his mom. The hurricane is 125 mile an hour winds and it's 90 miles in radius. Even if it never hits land, he's going to be driving in strong winds and heavy rain the whole entire drive. That's dangerous. He thinks he can outrun it because it's not due until Friday and he's leaving on Thursday. Me and his mom still think he's cutting it close. Better to be safe than sorry. But him and Brittany are young and think they are right and invincable and they're both 18 so they're coming. I'm terrified for them and so is Casey's mom. I'm not sure what Brittany's parents are saying. Am I wrong? Am I crazy for worrying? Me and Jane, Casey's mom, both tried to talk him and Brittany out of coming, but they are stubborn and swear that they will be fine. I know Casey gets the stubborn trait from my mother because I do too.

[Tink rules]

No... Deb... you're right... & he's young and stupid.... (we never wrere were we???)

& It's hitting the coast Thursday... not Friday... Tell him to watch the weather channel more...

[EllaEnchanted]

I'm watching the weather channel. I hope he doesn't come. He said he'll decide tomorrow. He thinks he'll be fine though.

Since that chat, there has been a new development. He has been fighting with his mom so he's 18 (for two weeks now) so he's ready to move out. Ugh. He's moving his turtles (my turtles) to a friend's temporarily. I'm extremely upset about this. I don't think I want my turtles out there somewhere that I'm not sure of where they are. I'm sure he will do just fine. I'm not so sure about the turtles. Should I be an indian giver and take them back? He's moving in with a friend until he can move out on his own. Then he'll take the turtles back. That could be a while. I should get them shouldn't I? At least for now. I worry about them being cared for properly.

Deb, if you are going to worry, and it looks like you will will, then there is only one thing to do, and that is to take them to look after. A shame though. Aren't families a problem at times.:confused3

[1Grumpy John]

some changes, will whip up another soon :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

I think you're right Marilyn. I need to know where they are and if I don't then I need to have them here until Casey can take them back. Thanks that helps.

[EllaEnchanted]

If he's moving out it looks like he might think it's ok to neglect schoolwork. I have to honor our initial agreement with his mom. It's looking good for you Michelle and Monica. He starts school September 7th.

[Tink rules]

Well... I'll keep fingers crossed he pulls it off.. not that I wouldn't love to cruise!!!

We'll be charged a change fee....based on current rates....because we'll be less than 30 days. Oh well!! Rules are rules!

[ibouncetoo]

NO...the 'name change fee' is a SET rate. You are NOT cancelling a person then later adding one...that would be the sceanerio that would incur higher costs. If/when you do it only refer to it as a 'name change'.
