12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 12

[BuzzBoyMom]

We are doing ok. Autumn had her MRI on monday and it looks like she will be having a series of 3 surgeries after the holidays. They will be doing brain, neck and back surgery on her. They are changing her meds around to make her more comfortable for the next month. It looks like she will have alot of down time on the cruise but I plan on packing some of her favorite games and sitting on deck 7 with her during the day. We will also try to hit the pools when they are less busy so she can enjoy it. One good thing is that her spirit is high right now.

Thanks for asking

Jill

Just wanted to send you the biggest ......did ya get it?!!!!

I think what you are doing with your turkey is awesome. I can not tell you how much it means to people. We have had some bad years here and we were so thankful for strangers and are neighbors for thinking of us. Last TG our neighbor brought over a huge box with all the fixings for TG and at Xmas brought over homemade cookies and stuff and even a wreath for us. I balled my eyes out. Last year was a rough one for us DH got hurt at work in oct and i lost my job in nov, we had no idea what we were going to do for the holidays. I had never been so thankful. Also one time when Autumn was firt sick we were having a rough time, my dh also just had his first back surgery and I was not working at the time due to Autumn. The kids knew xmas was going to be small and they were ok with that but when we came home xmas eve there were 4 garbage bags filled with gifts for them. I still have no idea where they came from. Still to this day i tell the girls santa did it. One other act of kindness to tell you about.
Brian and I were married almost 4 years ago. We had to change our wedding plans because autumn was very sick at the time, so we decided to get married in our home with just close family and cut back on the cost. well the night before our wedding Autumn went in for emergency surgery but before surgery Autumn made me promise we would still get married evn if she wasnt there. She wanted mom to be happy. so saturday morning my wedding cake was delivered and i asked the person what the total damages were. he said it is paid for, i said it cant be. he imformed me that someone else already paid for it. the weirdest thing about that is, NO ONE knew where i ordered my cake from. still to this day i have no idea. all of these days in my life were made unforgetable by strangers. I have never been so grateful in my life. With the exception of receiving a surprising check that paid for this cruise.

Sorry for babbling, I just have so much to be thankful for this year. I have 4 wonderful girls and a great husband and a wonderful family that you will all meet in about 2 WEEKS. And the wonderful people on the disboard that have offered so much to me.

Happy THANKSGIVING all

Jill

Good morning from the heart of NC! I'm off to catch up on last night's "episode".

 

[brack]

Ummmm Brack, Chat is at about 9:00 tomorrow night . . . Just how much rest do you need?

John1

To keep up with guys at my age I need a lot ...... maybe a cruise even!

 

[brack]

Well . . .

DS is leaving to camp out in search of his Wii, with a thermos, DVD player, and iPod in hand . . .

Ahhhh youth . . .

John1

If he comes home with two of these is that considered "Wii Wii"?

 

[brack]

His trigger always goes off too early!

We knew that we could count on you to help your DH out

 

[Jhalkias]

If he comes home with two of these is that considered "Wii Wii"?

He did not even get ONE!

He was #9 in line. An employee in line in front of him told him they had just 9, so he stayed all night. When the Manager came at 5:30, he told them they had FIVE Wii's! DS was NOT a happy camper. They also had 3 PS3's, (one only per customer either/or) of course he was number 9 so he got nothing but a night out with one of his buddies waiting in line.

He came home and went right to bed.

Another buddy who works at BBuy told him they had a bunch in the backroom, but not allowed to put them out until Sunday after the BF blitz.

Did all you shoppers have fun today?

You've been a real sport and I think you will fit in with this crazy group. After your first chat you'll be fully "assimilated"

 

[brack]

we're at the top right of that NASA pic. given how small NJ looks - maybe not even the top.

I was up at this time but did not turn the laptop on.

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

Kristina - no one needs a vacuum badly enough to shop today for it,

relax, go out for breakfast, enjoy.

At the time of your post, she was crawling out of bed...heading for Walmart.com. The site supposedly crashed and then she was on her way to Walmart...

I tried to convince her that the black Friday thing was a wste of time and that we should just save the money this year...but noooo..that digital crockpit will come in handy. (but where? )

 

[princessy]

Good Morning from beautiful Colorado!!!!

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

You obviously don't have a Berner.... do you?

Someone's grumpy at 5 AM......

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

Okay Andy, I'll go first, but if you are wearing an underwire and decide to whip it off at the security check point....we're walking!

No, going wireless....its the new thing! Brack was going wireless at 70mph yesterday on his way to MIL!!

 

[princessy]

Two weeks from today we will be on a plane flying to Disney to go to MVMCP!!!
