Naples is really nice! Chris does a lot of work there.

I've only visited his Fort Myers house. I don't know if we're gonna take a trip to visit him in Naples?:confused3
Anyways I'm gonna eat some dinner here. Glad you're alright Lisa and I hope Erica is fine too!:hug:

Yea, we are supposed to take a serious nose dive in temps. that should last a week or so. I don't think we will make it out of the teens all week:sad2:

Yea, that is a little strange. Must be those WV mountains :rotfl2:


I didn't really see much of you guys until that last night! I have pictures of Lisa, Taeja and I don't know who else exactly :confused3 ... leaning against the railing in the atrium. They didn't turn out too great but they're still pretty neat..
I saw Keri all over the ship though! That was neat :)

I can talk on here but I'm all kinds of shy when it actually comes to meeting people :rolleyes:

I was *just* looking at my cruise photos and I saw the back of Erica's head. Strange how that made me nostalgic!

Where is she? Now I'm going to be fretting all night. Erica! We need to know you're okay!

[suzannef]

I keep thinking about her too and hoping she's just out doing something fun for her birthday!!!

[LCTsMom]

I just emailed Erica. I asked her to check in here or drop me an email. I will keep everyone posted if I hear first. :grouphug:

[LCTsMom]

Watching the rerun of ER right now. All I can say is :eek: :scared1:

[suzannef]

Watching the rerun of ER right now. All I can say is :eek: :scared1:

[LCTsMom]

Wow! Great as always!

[suzannef]

wasn't it great? You never want it to end

[zweihund]

Hey all - real quickly thank you so much for your concern. We are fine here. Actually, our area was pretty well untouched apart from some wind (that woke me up at 5 am) and a few downed trees (not in our yard though). My Mom called me all worried. I thought it only hit Volusia county (Daytona area) from what they were reporting that morning, but later in the day they said Seminole county was hit badly as well. That's us! Ack.

But we enjoyed a lovely day-after birthday at WDW today. And I got a warning from lbgraves that my signature is in violation. Oops. Note the current lack of photos that were apparently 40 pixels too high......ah well.

Catching up, and then starting on taxes :sad2:

[suzannef]

Erica so glad to hear that you guys are ok. Thanks for getting back to us so quickly. Now I can go to bed and not be worrying about you and Lionel:goodvibes Good night all!!!:cloud9:

[LCTsMom]

Great to hear you're okay, Erica. Thanks for posting! Sorry to nerve out on ya!! :grouphug:

If they're warning you about YOUR signature, I'm next sister! ;) :eek: :scared:

[LCTsMom]

Waaaaaah, I don't want to change my signature! :rotfl:

[taeja71]

oh no the signature police are out again :badpc:

[zweihund]

Great to hear you're okay, Erica. Thanks for posting! Sorry to nerve out on ya!! :grouphug:

If they're warning you about YOUR signature, I'm next sister! ;) :eek: :scared:

No worries Lisa! I was touched that everyone was concerned - sorry it took me so long to say I was ok :goodvibes

I must admit I got concerned when I saw "warning! click here" - I was like WOW, if IIIIIII offended someone, then WOW. 'Course, there was that whole trip report involving drunkedness.......

I resized my images. They are now within official standards.

[taeja71]

Waaaaaah, I don't want to change my signature! :rotfl:

you don't have to change it, just resize it.

[zweihund]

Oh, and Taeja......I have a surprise for you :santa:

[LCTsMom]

I have so much crap on my sig, I am certain it violates something! :lmao: I'll work on it so I don't get snagged, too. I'll consider your warning my warning. ;)

Again, glad to hear all's well!

[LittleBlue22]

Oh, and Taeja......I have a surprise for you :santa:

Blech, I used the DIS setup for my sig pic and now I hate it. :sad2: :scared1: Oh well, I'll have to mess with it on my own when I have time.:goodvibes

Looks like we can put down that DCL deposit after all :woohoo:
Just checking a few sites online to make sure I have maximized my deductions!!!! Last year we owed money, which totally stunk.

[LCTsMom]

We did ours last weekend and got our refund on a Mastercard.:goodvibes

[purplern]

Do you have to go in today?

Yep. Today, tomorrow and Monday! I'm off Tuesday! We are going to see Stomp!

Yea it does! We have extra taken out of both of ours because there for a while we owed! Now we get a healthy refund!!;)

[zweihund]

Sadly I have been waiting and waiting for weeks for Lionel's W2 and student loan info to arrive. I guess his employer likes waiting until the last minute. Usually, we got his student loan info BEFORE mine, but not this year. When we got home last night all of his info was sitting in the mailbox and I ran inside to start :rotfl:

I think I missed my calling as a CPA because I love crunching numbers. How I ever ended up in healthcare is beyond me :rotfl2:

[zweihund]

Yea it does! We have extra taken out of both of ours because there for a while we owed! Now we get a healthy refund!!;)

This was our first WHOLE year in the house and without the mortgage interest and taxes we would have owed $1600!
But then I put it all in and the numbers turned green and we cheered. Now I get to call Dreams Unlimited and tell them to book that room! :woohoo:

Heidi hows Holly doing? We don't hear from her anymore. Is her new job going well?

She's doing good! The new job is also going good. I don't know why she never stops in every once in awhile.:confused3 I guess she's just too busy with her guy.:p

[suzannef]

That nice that she found someone she likes so much. Good for her.:cool1:

:rotfl: We get in trouble quite often for *fighting* but really...what is wrong with a little playful banter?:lmao:
But yeah...I wouldn't trade them for the world.:rolleyes: Sometimes I wish I had an older brother to look out for me though. Beat up all the guys that try and break my heart.;) Though if I had to pick I would want my sisters even if they did gang up on me when I was little!:lmao:

I love my brother, but I sometimes wish that I had a sister for simple, simple reasons. Seeing as how my mom and I couldn't even make it through a 5 hour trip with me on painkillers (meaning, I slept. A lot).. I just think it'd be nice to have someone to break down and talk to sometimes. Gets a little frustrating venting to my dog time and time again. He just doesn't get it! :rolleyes:

Greg's good for that brotherly protection thing... sorta. He's got more wit than muscle.
....I do hear stories daily though about the different ways he reminds my stalker that he'll never be a member of my family. So I guess, in a way, he's doing his brotherly thing.

Ewww is the creep still at it?? Get him locked up! That is just scary Patsy.
Yeah sometimes I can't exactly talk to my sisters though.:rotfl: Sometimes I'm afraid they'll tell my mom for *brownie points*!:lmao: And sometimes I have a hard time opening up...:rolleyes: But I know they are ALWAYS there for me when I need them!:goodvibes

Yeah, he's still at it. Apparently the spare bedroom of his trailor is piled up with gifts he's buying for me but can't since he promised the police he'd stay away.
We're going to get married, in Disney World, have four kids and live happily ever after :rolleyes1
Apparently he makes a lot of comments to my brother at work along the lines of "When we're brothers for real..." and Greg goes crazy on him. Understandably! :scared1:

See, I wouldn't have that problem if I had sisters because they probably wouldn't talk to my mother either. Greg and I both pretty much ignore her.. sad but true. :confused3 No need for brownie points when there is nothing to gain, lol.

Who dosen't have a hard time opening up, seriously?

Umm...yikes. Yeaaah...if someone was sayin things like that to me about one of my sisters I would be punching them and telling them to back off! Or maybe I'd run away from them myself cause that's creepy...

Yeah I don't know who doesn't have a hard time.:p Sometimes it just can be weird to talk to them about my problems.:laughing:

If I go to the movies and Ralph, the general manager, is on duty and Dustin (stalker) is the one selling tickets.. I just bypass the ticket line and walk right into the theater. Ralph doesn't even usually give me a ticket at all, he just waves me in.. so it's never been a problem. Until one night, I guess.. when Dustin broke down into uncontrollable tears when I walked past him.
I was walking down the hallway towards my theater when Ralph yelled at me. I asked him what he wanted and he was like:
"YOU MADE MY EMPLOYEE CRY!"
I was seriously shocked that a) he cared and b) he was yelling at me.
Then he finally came all the way up to me, smiled and said "Thank you, I could send him to the back where I don't have to deal with him now."

How sad is that?:confused3

I was seriously shocked that a) he cared and b) he was yelling at me.
Then he finally came all the way up to me, smiled and said "Thank you, I could send him to the back where I don't have to deal with him now."

How sad is that?:confused3

Very...:sad2:
I feel for you Patsy...I'd be terrified if I were you.:guilty:

He doesn't scare me. People tell me that I am naive and I should be scared, but he's too afraid to even come near me. Creeped out and annoyed, yes. But not afraid.

The police wanted me to file a restraining order in magistrate court.. but i don't really see what good it would do :confused3

Hey you guys!

So I'm back on my Hawaii kick. Where all have you been to Suzanne?

[PirateCutie05]

Oh hey Suzanne since you were asking, I got a call from my mom about the cruise my grandparents want to take us on. I guess my Oma called and asked if Dec 21st would work for us. So it looks like we might get to go on another a Christmas cruise!:goodvibes Nothing's final yet...just talk.:rolleyes:

[suzannef]

Patsy I was in Oahu (Waikiki Beach) It is beautiful and the northern shore where all the locals go is even prettier and far less commercialized.


Heidi Wow another Christmas cruise that would be awesome for you guys!!!

[LCTsMom]

I'm watching Pirates (again)! pirate: :cloud9: :love:

[suzannef]

Actually when I was in Hawaii it was near Christmas time and it was fun seeing all the Christmas decorations near the beaches and whenever I hear that Hawaiian Christmas song I have such fond memories of being in Hawaii.

[suzannef]

I definitely wasn't at my bikini best on that trip:rolleyes1

I was there for almost 3 weeks and I had gotten so big while I was there I was afraid they weren't going to let me on the plane to get home.:laughing:

Wow. Three weeks. That would be awesome.
Well, I'm trying to find something to do. I keep thinking-- DCL! No. I don't have a family and I'm better to wait until I do. Disneyland! Again. Probably not a fun alone vacation. Then I thought about just going to Greece through that tour company but then I remember a) the problems last time and b) I have a free airline ticket for the US/parts of Canada and SA. So it makes sense to use it, yes? Yes.
So I think I've settled on Hawaii.

[suzannef]

Aren't you not allowed to fly during the third tri-mester?:confused3

You're not really supposed to travel after your 34th week I think?! Plus I was traveling with just Angelina who was 2 at the time so here I am this huge thing with a toddler and a stroller and a car seat etc. I was frightening I am sure.:lmao: :lmao:

I've been researching alll day. I have trouble believing things too (I'm a terrible cynic!) But there are all sorts of reviews on TripAdvisor (my GOD to booking vacations-- it's how I found my hotels all summer) and it's listed on the official tourism site of Hawaii (thats how I found them in the first place)

..and I've been playing online monopoly with Michael andhe wants to go with me! I'd feel much better a) having someone with me and b) them being male! :rotfl:

[Piecey]

Oh, and the young thing. Totally what I was thinking too. Disney is something that I love to do now but thinking of how much more I would enjoy it with a family someday.. makes me want to wait and not let myself get burnt out. I could never do this with my family, though. Go stay in a hostel and lay around on the beach. That is something I've gotta do now :)

Hey Heidi, wanna teach me to snorkel?

Yeah I don't think I wanna do it.

So I was wrong and I'm short about 9000 miles.. but I can buy them at 3.5 cents per mile or start charing my entire life to that credit card and try to earn them before December... still, it'd save me like $500 if I wanted to fly from my hometown, on the ticket. Amazing! I love frequent flier miles.

Haha yea, I hit the level to get a free ticket to certain places when I flew home form Amsterdam. All the rest is icing on the cake. Mine are through USAir and she said they just recently started flying to Maui and so tickets to Maui require 35000 miles instead of 25000 miles like everything else. Not a huge deal, really.

Darn, Maui for being so pretty. I've been sitting here for hours!

Hi Jessica
We are actually going on the Wonder Aug 24-28th 2008 so we wil miss you by a couple of days. That 5 day cruise looked so temptimg because of the pricing but I can never make my kids miss the 1st 3 days of school again. They start on the Wed after Labor day and it really didn't work out well for us last time. I'm going to miss seeing all the friendly faces around the ship

[Luv2Travel]

I'm a little worried about taking my kids out of school again too. We will have been in school for 3 or 4 weeks, and I know it'll be tough on them. I have been looking at other cruises in the summer trying to find something as good (and affordable), but I'm having a hard time leaving the double dip on the Magic. I really want the kids to get to experience Ocean Quest before they're too old (they'll be 14 on that trip :sad1: ). It is a shame for a lot of us to be booking cruises and didn't any of us make it on the same cruise. :rolleyes:

[LCTsMom]

Well Jessica, you can always avoid pulling your kids out of school and cruise in say... JUNE! ;)

[Luv2Travel]

Okay, this is ridiculous - Erica, Suzanne, and I are going within the same 4 weeks, and again none of us are on the same cruise! :confused3

Patsy - I LOVE your new picture of Rink too! My family got a new Shih Tzu just before the holidays that looks a lot like Rink. :cloud9: She's losing her "bandit mask" though (white hair is replacing the black around her eyes).

Erica - I wish you were cruising sooner, I can't wait for another trip report! :sail:

[Piecey]

Shih-Tzus are great! Their personalities get a bit strong, but oh well.

I LOVE his bandit mask. His coloring hasn't changed much since we got him. A lot of people told me that it would but it hasn't.

Rink, the day I brought him home:

Patsy - Rink is ssooooo cute in his "first" picture! Tell me more about his nose surgery. Was it aggrevating for him? Did he recover quickly? How old was he when he had it done? Was it expensive? Sorry for so many questions, but Mulan is my 4th Shih Tzu, but my first to have a snort. She sounds like she might need that surgery. :guilty: I was hoping she would out grow it.

[LCTsMom]

Jessica, have you been watching the Super Bowl? Have I missed any GOOD commercials (;) ;) pirate: )

[Piecey]

Ahhh, Mulan! Thats so cute :)

He did just fine on the surgery. I had to watch him because he had one of those Elizabethan cones around his head for a couple weeks. He'd get so frustrated, he'd lay the rim of the cone flat on the ground and try to pull his head out. He was so small, though, that he'd end up flipping over the cone and smashing his face against the ground mid-flip. Silly dog. It was amusing, but I think it hurt him.
The worst part was definitely having the stitches removed! He bled for a couple hours that day and was very upset with me. He was... about 4 months old when he had it done.
I'm really glad I chose to have the surgery. We noticed an instant improvement in the way he breathed, how long he could play.. He still snorts but the Vet told me he probably always would, even though he's medically fine.
Afraid I can't answer the $$ question. Rink is insured and they covered all of the surgery... Sorry.

[Luv2Travel]

Jessica, have you been watching the Super Bowl? Have I missed any GOOD commercials (;) ;) pirate: )

I watched a little, saw half time, and then moved on. I read earlier that the commercial from Disney was for some other movie. :sad2: Now the latest rumor is that the trailer will be shown in previews before "Ghost Rider." :confused3 We'll see. I'm sure as soon as the trailer comes out in theaters (or anywhere) it'll magically appear on YouTube. :goodvibes

Patsy - I have a solid black male (Mushu) and a white/gold/little black female (Mulan). If they had puppies, I'm sure they'd have one to look just like Rink. :cloud9: I must admit that I laughed (while I also thought "poor baby") when reading your description of how Rink behaved with the cone around his head. I can see mine acting the same way. :upsidedow

I agree. My mother thinks that the amount of care Rink has needed has equalled that of a child. (He's gotten sick a couple of times and I've had to leave work or call one of my parents to take him for me.. which they do NOT appreciate at all..
of course, my parents aren't as involved as most so I guess that doesnt really say much.

I'm cleaning up my old laptop and found a couple of pictures of him with his cone. He was very fluffy! If I remember right, he was looking at me, like.. how am I supposed to eat with this cone on my head? Look. i've got food all over me!

http://farr.pihost.us/piecey/Rinkfood.jpg

[Luv2Travel]

Oh Patsy, bless his heart. He's still cute! :goodvibes I wish I had a picture of Mulan downloaded on this computer, but I don't yet. I'll try to get some downloaded so I can show you how much Mulan and Rink look alike. They can be like raising another child and it is a pain when we go out of town and have to take them to a sitter. Fortunately my mother loves them too and doesn't mind keeping them. :)

[Piecey]

My dad doesn't mind having Rink around. I think Rink has been his blessing through this strike.. he comes home and goes in the backyard and runs around with him and they play. Rink is his major stress-relief. Luckily, I've been able to leave Rink with them for all my trips because as long as they don't have to go out there way for him, they don't mind him :)

I would love to see Mulan!
Do you keep them shaved or what? I can't find a good way to keep Rink groomed. He shivers when his fur is short but when its fluffy, he tracks all sorts of things in the house and has to be brushed constantly! Looking back at these pictures, he looks quite FAT! Hehe!

[PirateCutie05]

My puppy had a cone once too.:guilty: So sad and whimpery looking.:sad2: :laughing: She had cataracts and we had both her eyes fixed. She was just a puppy so it was either put her down, let her go blind her ENTIRE life (actually I don't think that was ever really an option...too much work and such...and suffering on Spirit's part I'd say), or get them fixed. Needless to say it was expensive to fix the eyes (2000 an eye? or I could be making that up:rotfl: ) but my grandparents actually paid for it. It was supposed to be a secret to us kids I guess but my mom told us like a year or two afterwards.

[Luv2Travel]

Needless to say it was expensive to fix the eyes (2000 an eye? or I could be making that up:rotfl: )

WOW! That's a GREAT grandparent! (But mine would've done the same - they couldn't have put a puppy to sleep or let it go blind :guilty: ).

Patsy, we let Mushu's hair grow as long as we can stand it - which is right about when it starts to get too matted up to keep brushed. He's about 1 1/2 years old so he's full grown and has a thick coat. Mulan is only about 5 months old, so she still has that puppy fur that doesn't mat up yet. I'll have to get a picture of the two for you - they're pretty cute. :goodvibes But it's hard to get a good picture of Mushu, he's so black he just looks like a dark blob in pictures. :rotfl2:

My user name over there is Mrs. Jack Sparrow (how original huh?). :goodvibes I think it's been around since the first movie, but I only discovered it last summer.

WOW! That's a GREAT grandparent! (But mine would've done the same - they couldn't have put a puppy to sleep or let it go blind :guilty: ).

:goodvibes Yeah they are! It was a total shock to me. I guess it's cause my parents were debating the situation for awhile and not sure which way they were going to go, and my grandpa LOVES dogs and had asked what my parents were deciding. And I guess he just offered to pay for the surgery. I was completely shocked when my mom told me they paid for it.

[Luv2Travel]

I don't remember having the option. :confused3 Mine is free, what do you get for paying?

I really was never a huge fan of dogs until I saw Rink that day. We fell in love and he was mine. I now have an appreciation for all sorts of dogs.

I noticed that about Rink, too! As he gets older, I've got to get him groomed more often because his fur mats terribly. The last time he went the lady clipped him because his mats were so bad but I couldn't get him in before I left for WDW.. and he was SHAVED as close as I think he could have been. Poor Rink. Not a good way to start winter in WV!

I've had a dog since the day I was born (except for a little less than a week when my first dog had to be put down :guilty: ). So I've always been a big dog person! Some dogs though...are just a little too...not pretty...:rolleyes1 I want a pomeranian some day. I know some people don't like them. But I think they are absolutely adorable!:goodvibes

So, has anyone seen that Park Audio thread? I was a big follower of that from the beginning and all the music on this laptop. Now I'm sorting through it and some of it's pretty neat!

I didn't finish my thought about Mushu. :rolleyes: We had to get him shaved too last fall, he was so matted up. :guilty: He looks like a skint (is that a word?) rabbit when he's shaved. :rotfl2:

I'm always amazed at how much smaller because he's usually quite the little fluffball when I finally get around to taking him :rolleyes1

The first time we did it, my brother told me to go back to where I got him and demand for the rest of my dog!

See that's what my parents always say. But I've seen the Disney Original Movie Hounded...and the dog in that movie barked not yapped.:confused3 And Ivana on the Suite Life doesn't seem to yap... I don't know...I think I can put up with the yapping. After all...I do put up with Spirit's howling.:lmao: Actually I do enjoy her howling...just not while I'm on the phone...:rolleyes::rotfl:

Rocky isn't bad to groom, except he gets those huge mats by his ears and legs. I love having him groomed, he comes back gorgeous! When we got him, his name was Tinkerbell. We named him Rocky to give him some dignity! :lmao:

They don't really shave pomeranians do they? I've thought about just having them "clean" Rink up to where he'd be all pretty, but I can't justify the money. He'd just be back there in a few weeks all matted and miserable again. :rotfl:

I think this was Rink at his most perfect fluff-level.

Noelle looks like a little fox, she only weighs a pound less than Rocky but she's short and chubby! He has longer legs.

Yeah my mom's first dog when she was little was a great dane. But her second dog was part husky and part something else. I just know she wasn't a pure-bred because she had big ears!:rotfl: And she's had siberian huskies ever since!:goodvibes They are my favorite. I'll get a picture of Spirit...she's pretty fiesty for a *big* dog.:rotfl:

White, black, brown, tan, reddish? White and tan...Let me google image search and get back to you...:rotfl:

*edit*
yeah...pretty much those colors. White and tan combos seem to be the most popular. They have some black and tans. Pretty much any combination of white, black, and brown/tan. Sometimes the tan has a reddish tint to it I guess.
