Cheryl/Jeff - can you let me know the website that you tracked the plane, it may come in handy for next year.

When I'm on my work computer again, I'll post them. I have them bookmarked there.

The one I found last night actually shows the plane the whole way. The other two I had only shows data for North America (US and Canada). Once it gets 1/2 way over the ocean, it doesn't track the data any more.

Fo?

HI all,

DH is stuck in Atlanta over night. Weather had flights cancelled. Ds # 2 arrived home today. Went out for dinner and boys are off at the movies. Both boys have lots of laundry I havn't done this much laundry in ages.

Have a great night all.

Joanne - Olivia flew out of Atlanta yesterday evening and was delayed due to weather, but her flight was early enough she made it out. It was a rough night here weather-wise.

Cheryl - Glad Rachel made it fine. I know she will have a great time!

Oh, don't feel sorry for him....he tortured our other cat Slinky for 5 years...now he has to put up with the wrath of Kira and Lilo humping him all the time Payback is a b*tch eh Goof?

Oh here's a pic from last year where you can see Stitch's red face and blonde bum

Question for all you UKers. DS is planning a trip to London in July, what is the cheapest airline? Expedia is saying delta for $ 940.00. Is that a normal rate?

You dont put "UK" and "cheap" in the same sentance....

Most people use British airways or Virgin. July would be our peak time aka full fare prices.... I hope his credit card limit is high

Hey, my goal is 3-3 1/2 stones. You may want to team up with me.

Yeah, my goal is 3 stone aswell......doesnt mean I'm gonna get there though....especially when boxes of easter goodies turn up

Hey Jeff, we've just given Ellis his wii Nitro bike for Easter. Do you know how to get connected?

Thanks for all the grad congrats everyone. I'm so excited. I plan on doing some major mindless net surfing when it's all over.

The first one will be Sully.hunk!

We're at Cassie's now. She and I sat next to each other on the love seat until 1 AM playing on our laptops. We were on ITunes. I was looking up songs I'm planning on putting on my IPOD. She was laughing because, I was looking up recent artist's song that I like. Cassie said who is Leona Lewis? Then she said. "OMG...here I am listening to oldies and my Mom is jammin to recent artists".

As Sgt Schultz would say on Hogan's Heros: "I know nothing".

I did an hour wii fit today

My "wii fitness coach" arrived this morning too. Apparantly it takes about 30 minutes to set up, so I havent had time yet, but I'll let you all know how I get on

Its got really good reviews

Haven't looked at it yet, but I'll get Suz on that (she did the other ones for us - I didn't take the time to research it).

BTW, Mario Kart at 4:00 your time. Ellis around?

Suz was looking at getting the "fitness coach". Let me know how it is. Her B-day is in May, I might get it for her.

Sounds like Ellis and Neil are having fun on the wii. I can hear them yelling in the lounge from up here

I bet I'll be even worse than on Mario karts

Ellis just told me on Nitro - if you click on multiplayer and then click on wifi

Might be worth trying

If not, we'll play Mario

I read reviews and they all say its better than the wii fit. Harder, more like proper exercise than the fitness games on the wii fit. I believe the pauses arent so long either. Thats the one thing that annoys me on the wii fit... it takes too long to switch between sections, so your heart rate comes back down, although I've just unlocked the super advanced boxing - 10 minutes - thats quite a good one

 

[Karen Mouse]

Oh wow! - its stopped raining!

 

[JLDSMD]

Cheryl/Jeff - can you let me know the website that you tracked the plane, it may come in handy for next year.

Here you go.

The first one is the one that tracks the flight the whole way. What you need to do after you put the flight in is click on the "Launch Live" button in the "Arrival" section to bring up a closer map screen.

This second one let's you look at the changes in altitude and speed. Just click on "Enroute" to the left of the map.

This last one is o.k., but not as good as the first two. What I like about it is you can put in the arrival airport and see ALL the flights that are going to that airport on a given day.

I've given up on trying to race the kids anymore on the Mario Kart.

No codes to enter like on Mario Kart?

I have a funny story

Over a week ago I bought myself two new planting troughs to put more plants in.

Since then, I have been asking Neil to drill drainage holes in the bottom for me.....and asking.....and asking...and nagging.... and nagging

Well, he finally got round to doing it for me today. He got his drill out of he car, connected the electricity extension up etc, got them under cover (it was raining)....

It was only then that I realized the holes were already there and had been pre-drilled

A week of nagging and I didnt need him after all

Sorry Neil!
