And the funny thing is I never see it as I turned off signatures etc so pages loaded quicker! And it is usually the way my mind works too but I just liked the look of it - maybe I will change it?!

Wendy:

No need to change it - its still cute....

 

[wendym]

Now it's in mind I had to change it - won't be able to look at Tigger in the same way again!

How do you get those little pictures anyway?

Go to user CP at the top left of the page - it will be under edit avatar, there are 6 pages of ones to choose.

Jeanne, Thanks for the congrats! I can only hope I keep it off! This week is a "hand over the chocolate and no one will get hurt week" so maybe next week will be better yet! Congrats to YOU for grabbing post 4300!! Do you think we'll make 10,000 by cruise time?

 

[jeanneg]

4300,eh? I guess Eric was sleeping! I never even look at the numbers!

 

[cdnmickeylover]

She changed it and the tigger was entertaining after Arlene pointed it out!

[wendym]

Sorry - maybe I will change it back some time!!

Nope,
I was at the gym - Where else would I be on a usual afternoon

And anyway: For me a post must have at least three trailing zeroes
But my most precious post on this thread so far was 666 - The Number of the Beast

Just returned with Anja from the hospital. Before that I saw the preview of 'Must love dogs' starring John Cusack and Diane Lane - That was a great movie!! Must have the DVD as soon as it is published.

Just went to the US Air website to see if the price of our tickets had gone up again and they have gone up $35 each since Friday evening and $45 since Friday morning. Glad we booked when we did!

It looks like several of us are going to be @ WDW in Oct. Is everyone going to do MNSSHP. I will be there on 10/31 and there are still tickets for that night and 10/30. It costs $5 more per person for 10/31. Not sure if we are going either of the nights. I wasn't that thrilled with it when we went 2 years ago. I could eat a nice meal for the price of the tickets. We are going mostly for the Wine and Food Festival.

Jeanne--- Sorry to hear that you passed a kidney stone. I have never had one but know from the patients that they are very painful. Is that a common thing with people who go on the low carb diets especially Atkins? I might be interested in the Oldies cruise. I just wonder if you can still see the groups perform without doing the Oldies package. I'll have to investigate that.

Michele--- Daisy is so cute, but I am way beyond dealing with puppies. When our 2 beagles are gone, we are done with pets. We like to travel to much. Congratulations on the weight loss.


Wendy--- Maybe you should take the hint and not go to school until it is time for the school year to start. I missed the Tiger thing? But I noticed that Jeanne found the avatars.

Jean--- It is to bad that Southwest doesn't fly out of your area, they now have their $49 one way fares up. However, I am just as happy to be on Air Tran since I can avoid the cattle call lines. Air Tran lets you pick your seats 24 hrs before your flight. Plus I only paid a few dollars more for the Air Tran.
Even Pittsburgh which is a US Air hub now has Southwest.

Nancy - Mum and I enjoyed MNSSHP last year but would probably spend the money in future at the Food and Wine festival. However I did get enough candy to fill my pumpkin at school for my pupils!
And yes I should take the hint about school but I just know that my colleagues somehow expect me to work wonders and have everything done for them by Monday - and I am the one that isn't promoted!

Nancy - I tried to go back to Tigger but he no longer bounces as it used to so think I will keep with Tink. Jeanneg - I love your one!

We are going to MNSSHP on Oct 2nd. We got an AP discount on the tickets. Love the trick or treating and then the sorting of the candy esp. since I'm not supposed to eat it. Last year went with Kim and Bette and then we traded the candy -- they don't like a lot of it but Jim sure does.

We will also go to the Food and Wine Festival although we won't go to any of the special events that cost extra. $185 for a party is a bit much times 2.

Doing laundry and cleaning the bathroom tonight. Beats doing it on the weekend but wish some bathroom fairy would come along and do it for me.

Jim tried out his new crockpot today and made lots of yummy things that he's now going to freeze for the future.

Must go let our dog out. I'm betting she's going to go after a squirrel or something that she has no hope of doing anything to.

My co-worker is going to WDW for the Food & Wine Festival with her new beau. She is a Disney novice. I think they will be there from 10/21-24 or 25. They are going for a timeshare spiel outside of the World.

Although her new beau has been to Disney many times with the ex-wife and kids (even after the divorce!) he is now looking forward to experiencing Disney without children, most especially Epcot. He doesn't want to go anywhere near the MK. I say, HOW can one go to Disney and not go to the Magic Kingdom? That's just sacrilegious!

I am trying to share my info of The World with her. Any tips for me to pass on from you guys who have been to the food festival (we need to leave wine out of it; he gave that up).

Hi!

I've been cleaning house and doing some yard work all day. Getting ready for my parents' visit. I figure the more I do ahead, the more time we have to play when they get here.

Ave'--(Can't figure out how to make the ' over the e on the laptop) No notes, just opened two browser windows, one for reading and one for the reply. And here I thought you were going to say I had a good memory after reading all of those pages!

Wendy-- You've got the right idea about the kids. That's why we like grandkids so much... we can send them home! Well, we do still have the 12 year old at home, but he's so easy compared to those toddler grandkids!

Mike-- Thanks for the link! Our gas is at $2.65 today.

Jeannie-- Not sure if cranberry juice is old news for the kidney stones, but I know it's still recommended for UTIs. I didn't want the extra calories, so my dr. suggested the cranberry pills and, so far, they've done the trick.

Nancy-- We are going to MNSSHP on 10/16. This will be our first one, so I hope we enjoy it. Josh is so excited, once he realized he wasn't missing school to go! He has a long weekend off.

Rosemary-- Don't think I could go to WDW and not the Magic Kingdom! We've never been to the food and wine festival, so can't help you there. But, if you get any good tips, pass them on to me too, please.

Shower and bed for me.

I think I have the Tigger!

Anyone going to be a WDW October 6, 7, or 8? Going to F&WF (just what a diabetic needs ), MNSSHP, and hopefully, on a safari. We will be there after the Oct. 2, 4 nite Wonder.

Exactly our thoughts, Nancy: I think it's a kind of rip-off that Disney wants you to pay twice for admission to the parks. We usually have 30Day-Park-Hoppers and somehow aren't willing to pay a second time just to get some candy
The only thing we're willing to pay forr additionally are E-Nights. Do they still have them?
