Flo - sorry about the water. Hopefully it has stopped and the damage is minimal..

Thanks Mary! But don't think it is going to get better till tomorrow. We were just talking to neighbors. We went to find out if they know of a plumber. They are havingthe same problem and a few others to. Also, one of are neighbors don't even have water. I think the Village needs to come out. There is a major problem here. but I am being told that it is New Years it will have to wait till tomorrow. I think they should come out today.

Hi Flo

Sorry to hear about the water problem....
Here is some pixie dust and hoping all gets fixed


Take care.....Monika

 

[wltdsnyfan]

Thanks Monika We are going to need the pixie dust.

The Village was here. The sewer pipe is frozen! He called some one and then left. I have no clue what they are going to do! How would you un freeze a sewer pipe?

I dunno, but I will say it's probably not going to be an easy fix. Reason being sewer lines are *supposed* to be buried below the frost line just for that reason. Sounds like yours is too close to the surface and might need to be dug up and buried deeper. Hopefully they find some easier reason, good luck!

Mark,

I think we got lucky. The Village just left about ½ hour ago. They came with this big truck and went into every sewer on the block then went to the one that they are connected to witch is we are. The put a snake in and heated it I think and we now have water. Only two houses were affected by this. My neighbor across the street and ours. That is what is so strange. But I do agree with you I think once spring hits they may have to do something. Time will tell.

So I am a happy camper for now. But I do panic when this happens because when Rosemont flooded we lost are house.

OMG, Flo, I hope everything works out OK for you. No repeats of Rosemont; that would be horrible .

Thanks Joanne! I am sure it will. In Rosement we had creaks by us here. It is just a terrible feeling. This happened at least 18 years ago. I still feeel liek it was yesterday. I am working on remembering that.

take care

Good morning everyone - happy Friday!

Flo - how awful that you lost a home to flooding. Definitely something that I'm sure stays with you. Happy to hear that the problem yesterday seems to be fixed. Not the best way to start the new year but let's hope that is the worst thing that happens to you this year and the rest will be great!

Back to work for me for this one day and then I have the weekend. I'm hoping to pull out my scrapbook materials and maybe finish up my '06 book this weekend.

Mary,

How true not the best way to start but at least it is fixed. What I am happy about is that we were all going to go out to the store together and the boys decided to stay home. It would have been worse if they came with me.

Good luck on your 06 book. We will have to get together to see each others. Mine is not to detailed. So it will be good to see yours.

Happy Weekend everyone.

I agree with Mary, hopefully the rest of the year will be great for you. But we know it will be great in September!!!!

And, yep, back to work today. Kinda stinks, one day of work then the weekend. But working for the county government, we don't get very many holidays. Our next day off now is not till Memorial Day. Long stretch. Oh, well.

Have a great Friday!!!!!

Hey everyone, hope the New Year brings a fresh start to all!

Not sure if the info is available but for those who have done this before, can us Membercruisers do the normal DCL pickup & transfer from the hotel, like we would if we were just normal cruisers?

Yes the DCL buses still run from the different hotels to the port. You might want to check out the very first post on this thread however as Annmarie is looking to organize a bus for the DISers. We did this back in '06 and it was a lot of fun and a LOT more affordable.

Good morning everyone! Happy Saturday!

I pulled out what I need for scrapbooking today. Yikes I got a lot to do. I'm hoping to finish up 2006 this weekend. Our blabbermouth cruise is almost finished but I still have to do the Member Cruise and then our December trip to the Poly that year!

Then I still have 2007 and 2008 to do! Maybe I should take off a year of traveling and just work on my scrapbooks. NOT! Anyway I can't think of any better plan for a January weekend than doing a scrapbook at looking at wonderful pictures of cruising and WDW!

 

[danandnan]

Just thought I would jump over and say HI. We just found out from Kathy yesterday that Farther Frank will be joining us in OCT.
You and Mark have a great Weekend and stay warm in Chi town.

Ps Miss you guys
