Good morning Susan

I was at work and found out when our receptionist came in crying. I have a tv in my office and everyone gathered around for the entire day just watching. Such a sad sad day. (I had a customer that was in Tower #2. I have not heard from her since.)

My TA was at the Animal Kingdom when it happened. They heard the announcement for everyone to leave quickly. She thought an animal got loose so the adults formed a circle around the children and quickly left the park. She said some people were indeed panicking and running but for the most part everyone else was just stunned and didn't even know why they were asked to leave.

WOW! I never heard that Disney closed up.


I would have been one who didn't hear about it until later if Matthew hadn't been home (scheduled for an afternoon shift). At the time, I really only got to watch Nickelodeon... which thankfully continued to show regular programming. I split my time between the kids in one room and the tv in the bedroom for the rest of the day.

I missed the boards yesturday for the most part (never got to 9/11 posts). But definitely had the day in my thoughts. for everyone as we continue to remember.

Matthew was telling me about that game the other night. Perhaps you read about it as you caught up on the thread.

I am dreading catching up over tomorrow and Saturday. I have a funeral to officiate tomorrow, then I have to go to NYC for a meeting at 7:30 PM, then I am gone all day Saturday for a Men's Fellowship Camp day. When I get home Saturday, after Elaine rubs lots of Ben-Gay or Icy-Hot (playing softball all day) on me, I will have to settle in and devote an hour or so to catching up on a lot of pages.

What Matthew didn't mention is that now there is a 4-way war over the computer.... which just happens to be MY computer! It is the newest one so it is the most up to date with hardware: speed, video and audio, etc. Plus, you are logged on to the spore site while you play so you can't run another game with the same disks anyway!

for Saturday.

Yeah, it worked for Julia. She turned 3 on her first cruise. Harrison seems to be another story. I keep telling him if he wants to go on Mickey's boat he has to pee pee in the potty. He finally told me he doesn't want to go on Mickey's boat. he wants to go on Goofy's boat.

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

Okay... I finally caught up all the way.

Gotta head for my email. I have to start planning for my Brownie troop soon. I think I missed a service unit meeting and need to find out what happened.

Back later!

Well, Lina didn't get the hostess job, they didn't mention you had to be 18. Lina fell a few days short, she won't be 18 until this coming Monday. They said she could come back after Monday, but as for right now, all hostess positions are filled.

 

[Verandah Man]

What makes it tough being Lina's parents, and the fact she is turning 18 on Monday, is, Lina is not a mature 18 year old. That's one reason it was so difficult leaving her home last week, if it had not been for Samantha staying here with her, Lina would of had no choice but to go to Florida with us.

Hazel and I are probably going to be called the meanest parents in the world in a little while when Lina finds out that we are not going to pay for her to attend bartending school. Neither one of us feel that she is mature enough, at this age, to handle being a bartender. I have a feeling Hazel and I are in for another "rocky" weekend.

Did she definitely decide she's not doing massage therapy?

 

[millerpjm]

Hello everyone....

I just have a couple minutes..I should be working.

Heather - for your dad....

I hope all of our DIS friends and their families in the South are safe....please keep us updated.

I'm sure I missed something I was going to say...oh well!

 

[Verandah Man]

Did she definitely decide she's not doing massage therapy?

The school director from the massage therapy school called yesterday and asked Lina to come to the school and talk to her next week. We scheduled an appointment with the director for Wednesday morning. Should Lina still decide she doesn't want to do this, then the director will give us a check on Wednesday refunding us our money, except for the $75.00 non-refundable application fee.

We are hoping Lina has a change of heart, but we'll see what happens next week.

Well, that was nice of the school director to call - hopefully she will change her mind. if not, has she shown an interest in any other career choices?

I thought you had to be legal drinking age to serve drinks. Just this week, I was buying a bottle of wine at our exchange, and I had to change registers because the cashier couldn't check me out because she was not legal drinking age. Of course bartending is different, but somehow I thought the same rule applied.

Good luck, Andy and Hazel. Here's hoping she chooses a path that will be best for her and for y'all, too.

Hi Paige,

Hope your family is not in harm's way...

My Mom's confidence in her past experiences and "the direct line upstairs", so, she is staying put. Just spoke with her and she has the two generators in the pickup to avoid high water and for quick escape to higher ground. I am afraid of her situation since a "canal" is in our yard.

Just before we leave to visit with Bev and Dave, I just wanted to say:

Stay safe everyone, especially with all this horrible weather hitting your shores this weekend

Here's some hugs for all those that need it.
