I'm telling you, she wants me dead. We just got the confirmation that the new life insurance policies went into effect. She started talking about his excursion after that.

be careful!!!we had increased ours and then 2 months later i'm having heart surgery. gotta watch them girls....they're sneaky.

We've been talking to lots of people about going in '09. I have one family booked, and showed her the boards, but I think she hasn't come on yet. We have a couple other families interested, but not booked yet.

Suz just had dinner with a friend (tax client of mine as well) and Suz said they are very interested too and wants me to send her the info.

Looks like we're building Team WI up.

We are getting our Hep A series (2), then I have to call the travel nurse in June to set up an appt to see if we will need anything else, like malaria meds, which are just pills from what I understand. The nurse said you only need your first Hep A to be ok, we will get our 2nd shot before the cruise though.

DS's doctor (just had his 8 year check up) mentioned something about possible pills and no shots for him.

I forgot to ask Suz when I was talking to her if she talked to the nurse yet.

Congrats on the weight loss Becky!

20 minute miles is my pace when I walk too. That is 3 mph. I could go faster, but I use the walk as a warm-up and cool-down.

10 minute miles would be 6 mph, you'll be jogging at that pace. That is about what I was (key word "was") doing. I need to get back on the treadmill. Once all the taxes are done, I'll be so conditioned to get up at 5:30, I'll have to do something with my time.

 

[JLDSMD]

Sometimes you get your best ideas when you are strung out on meds!

Yeah, that's what they said back in the 60's and 70's.

You really like to rub it in Cass Michaels sale and I'm miles away. Have fun anyway.

Your MIL and SIL's sound like serious shoppers - I assume it's a long way away.

I know, I'm sorry I know how it feels. I feel that way everytime someone mentions a wdw or dcl show on the Travel channel I LOVE travel shows but all we get here is Canadian crap

Do you ever make a Michaels stop when you are in the US? One day I want to stop at AC Moore, never been to one of those

Oh and Spokane is about a 8-9 hour drive from here. They are very serious shoppers! I didn't know how serious until we went to WDW with them last year. You ever see that shopping magazine on airplanes called SkyMall? Well we had two 3-hour flights and just as we were about to land in Orlando, they had JUST finished that magazine I looked it over too, I was done in 15 minutes


Jen, just got back from Michaels and the t-shirts were on sale from $5.99 to $2.44 I gots me two of them for the cruise

I also got a snotload of ribbon, hopefully my diaper-cake business takes off or I will be doing a lot of scrapbooking with ribbons

Oh my goodness, 1 mile in 10 minutes is faster than I run!

A big congrats to you, Becky.

I've been trying to think of something special to do for my personal upcoming DIS milestone. I was first thinking of stopping at post #19,999 and then sign on a new userID, or maybe going to post #20,000 then starting all over again...Verandah Man2... just silly things running through my mind.

Maybe I'm just too strung out off cough meds and the like, I don't know.

Gotta think of something to do.......

Why don't you charter a double dip cruise for all your BoBer friends?

As soon as I hit it BIG, that will be the first thing I do!!!

Got to open the windows this afternoon to let some fresh air in and some germies out of the house!!!

 

[JLDSMD]

I remember Heather mentioning she got some Mickey Mail this week.

Went to the mailbox today and we got some too.

Suz opened that up quickly and is going through it.

We do too. It is just beautiful here in WI today. Low 60's and sun. Must be why we're not hearing from the WI BOBers this afternoon.

We got a Disney Rewards flyer in the mail today, it was our only piece of mail today at that............

 

[JLDSMD]

We got a Disney Rewards flyer in the mail today, it was our only piece of mail today at that............

Were they telling you, you can get the bonus 5% on purchases?

We just ended ours for Suz' card. Our hurdle was only $450 (helps when you only use that card for the Disney vacations - keeps the balance low as well as the hurdle ).

I was reading I think the Budget Board about the promo and some people were saying it included travel besides Gas, Groceries and some other category.

Well when we got the bill today, it had $28 bonus rewards from January (takes 6-8 weeks to post). The only way I can get to that, since you only get the 1% on the first $450, would be to add the payments for the Feb WDW trip (even if I got 5% on Gas and Groceries, it would calc out to more than $28).

So now I'm wondering if, since I paid the Repo off in March, if I'll get an extra 4% on my June statement. That will be almost $150 bonus. Not holding my breath though.

I was kicking myself because my Discover Card sends a flyer for bonus rebates for next quarter (Apr-Jun - they have something different each quarter) and on the flyer, it says travel would have been 5% cash back in the first quarter (Jan-Mar). If the Disney Visa thing plays out, I will be so happy. Plus I get 6 months at 0%.

Our flyer states, "Get 5X Disney Dream Reward Dollars on eligible purchases in the categories of Dining, Gas, Airlines, Groceries during the months of April, May and June. For every eligible dollar you spend above $2,250 each month in any of the above mentioned categories you'll accumulate Disney Dream Reward Dollars at 5x the regular rate.

I'm still waiting to see what extra reward dollars we will be receiving from the Oct. Nov. Dec. promotion they had. Our April statement should be posted either tomorrow or Monday, we should have our extra reward dollars on that statement.
