So sorry about Bob. I swear my DH can't go anywhere without forgetting something .... wallet, sunglasses, etc. Yep he's even gone to the store, loaded up the cart, gets to the checkout and discovers he doesn't have his wallet .... Even the dog has gotten use to him walking out the door only to return to get what ever he's forgotten!
linda so good to know their is another like him
Hi Rcers! I'm back from the 4th and it looks like I didn't miss a thing! Of course I won't catch you all right now, but:
pas130: Thanks for being our Queen. Not long for you.
WDWKOOK: WL. Not long for you either. Toot toot!
Koh1977: Wow! Not long for you either-either! Who else?
Minnie&Nana: I am so glad to see you here.
Wookie: I am sorry for your loss.
chimo2u: Hope you sell the dirt bike. Glad your son is a "man with a plan."
Missoutandabout: Don't forget we women-folk become "martyrs" in our hobbled old age. I feel your pain with parents. It's been rough here on that front, too.
JanetB: Enjoy the peaceful beauty of nature.
Gwynne: That Sept dining deal sounds fab. Thanks for the news. We'll need to pop over for BlueZoo. Funny that we over here in west FL eat out almost every night in summertime because the restaurant "deals" are so fantastic that it is more expensive to stay home and cook.
basketlacey: What a lovely 9 days. Sounds positively relaxing.
hstrickland: So glad for some pleasantly pleasing painting.
GGrandma: Funny even the dog knows... that's badddd!
Willows909: September will be here before you know it.
sjs314: I think Bob is depressed. .....On my dad's last WDW visit (he swears NEVER again ), he wouldn't use a motorized chair either. Pride. Stubborn. Combination of the two. He agreed to a regular wheelchair and we could push him for longer stretches. But then he was so mortified when the first WDW bus stopped for him and put the back ramp down, that he refused to use that either.

Arrrrrgh... Hard Rock just came available for us for Universal next week for just a couple more $$ ... what should I do????????? I'm such a sucker for hard and loud music.
MAGIC I really do think with Bob it is pride but he did say he is afraid of running into someone... Geez Louise if I can drive a scooter anyone can I am a major clutz
Is Hard Rock Hotel as loud as the restaurant? I've read a lot of DISers say they love HR but my heart's desire is Portifino Bay
Hello ladies... Happy Friday!
Wookie: Thinking of you guys.
Heather & Koh: Keeping it in mind in case the dance thing is a flash in the pan with Miss M.
Lacey: Thanks for the tips! It's kinda just an "intro to ballet" sorta thing just to see if she likes it. I'd love for her to find something she looks forward to -- instead of WHINES about every time we're getting ready to go. She wasn't keen on the soccer at all -- though loves Girl Scouts and the art lessons she had after school. Guess I'll find out tomorrow!
Sheila: Maybe some of the meds are having an adverse effect? Sorry. I hope it resolves itself before your trip -- or at least he agrees to rent a scooter. When we visited with my parents two years ago, that first afternoon, I convinced my dad to rent one. We went with Apple Scooters upon the recommendation of the CL concierge and they dropped it off right at the hotel bell services the very next morning. (Includes insurance, drop off and pick-up at the hotel.) Anyway, just wanted to let you know you can decide to get it last-minute if you need to when you're already there. My dad was so much happier and easy-going because of it (which is saying a LOT for him )... my only regret was not getting one for my mom. It was far too much walking for her.
Magic: Oooooh, that is tempting. We've only stayed at HRH in Vegas. The hotel was very nice but they had the most annoying hallway decor ever... cymbals every couple of feet along the wall. In Vegas. With people up at all hours of the day... coming and going. Usually sloshed. Who thought that was a good idea? All of those Universal hotels are very convenient walking-distance to the parks, aren't they? So many perks with staying there on-site.
GG & Willow:
Miss Apple is who I have rented from 2x now. Last trip we were staying at BWI and you can rent a scooter right on the Boardwalk just for a day or whatever and he still refused. Refused to rent one at the parks too!
Did I mention that I left him leaning against a railing in MK during MVMCP last year. I was so awful but so tried of his having to stop and rest like every 10 minutes
I would take the name & # of a scooter company with me. Once he figures out he won't be able to o that much walking, maybe he will relent.
sue If he doesn't tell the Dr about his ailments before we go and maybe get some pain meds He is just going to have to give in and get a scooter.
