11/24/07 We are Better Than Leftovers!!! Nana Head reunion Part 4

[Jaime]

AWESOME
i read directions on how to make these and it sounded a bit involved. Were they easy to do? I just bought mine

The first time I made them was back in 2000...I had no instructions to follow. I drew the Mickey head on the shirt...stitched it...and used elastic bands on the rest of the shirts...then I followed the dying instructions as per the kit...it takes about 30 minutes prep work for each shirt...and 24 hours for the shirt to be done. Now the girls help me make them...they love it. If you made patterns with dye before no it's not hard.

 

[POOHWHORH]

Ok Dawn Jaime Kathy time to add to my song

[mom x4 grandma x4]

here is an OLD AGE ALPHABET
hope you get a kick out of it




A's for arthritis,
B's the bad back,
C's the chest pains - perhaps car-d-iac?

D is for dental decay and decline,
E is for eyesight, can't read that top line!
F is for fissures and fluid retention,
G is for gas which I'd rather not mention.

H is high blood pressure - I'd rather it low;
I is for incisions with scars you can show...
J is for joints, out of socket, won't mend,
K is for knees that crack when they bend.

L is for libido, what happened to sex?
M is for memory, I forget what comes next.
N is neuralgia, in nerves way down low;
O is for osteo, the bones that don't grow!

P is for prescriptions, I have quite a few, just give me a pill and I'll be good as new!
Q is for queasy, is it fatal or flu?
R is for reflux, one meal turns to two.

S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T is for Tinnitus - there's bells in my ears!
U is for urinary... big troubles with flow;
V is for vertigo, that's "dizzy," you know.

W is for worry - NOW what's going 'round?
X is for X ray, and what might be found;
Y is another year I'm left here behind,
Z is for zest that I still have - in my mind.

I've survived all the symptoms, my body's deployed, and I am keeping twenty-six doctors fully employed!

I am up because I couldn't quit thinking about Shell and Bill today. I wanted to give them my support. This is going to be a hard day and my thoughts and tears are with you. Most of us have gone through this and have great empathy. Love from us all.

Dawn,

My sentiments exactly. It's been weighing on my mind all week.

Shell & Bill. We love you.

Did we already figure that when we start our Nana Nation business that you'd be making shirts to sell? (It's been so long!) Robin? Kim? Christine? Help me out here!! My mind is mush.

Now Dawn can make fish extenders to go along with the shirts.

We also need to add positions for the newbies.

Terri, we decided we should start our own Nana Nation travel consulting business -- we have travel planners, lawyers/legal secretaries to get us out of trouble, photographers & writers to market us, a woman who will whip us into action, etc., etc. What special talent do you want to add to our merry little bunch?? (the same goes for Sherri, Meme, Wendyleigh, Karen, and anyone who has joined in since we last discussed our venture!!)

 

[tiredmomof6]

Well everyone sorry its been so long since I posted, but we have had some exciting news here. I recently found out we are having another little blessing, so we were unsure if we would be able to cruise. But the doctor assures us its fine, plus its not like I have never done this before. So we will see you in a week.

I can make drinks at the end of the day I am a very good cook! My husband works on Porsches so when we make the big bucks he can keep them all maintained!!

 

[dsparks]

Dawn,
are you and the boys ready to go to the world??
It looks like your going to have great weather this coming week.

Love the cooler temps during the day. the 70's are perfect for the parks.
Have you seen the new NEMO show at AK?
I havnt seen it yet.

kathy

We can't wait. You'd think we'd never been before! Yes, we saw Nemo once last November when it was previewing for the passholders. Great show! But it has always been so busy everytime we were around so we skipped it. Surely it will slow down one of these days.
