[dh chrisva]

I am not sure I am going to make it to 62K. I am going to have to leave that task in your capable hands!

Well I don't know if I have to go in to work in the morning or not but I will have to be up before 6 to check the road conditions, etc.. to make a decision. I should get to bed before tomorrow!

 

[DrHug]

Yeah, like i said, I am trying to figure all of the shutter speed, etc stuff. Our camera isn't top of the line (not an XTI ) but its good enough for the casual photographer...Canon Powershot A95...

I think a small "class" would be neat...just as long as its not aimed at you professionals out there...

I see all the special scene settings on our camera but there's one I know I'll need, but just can't find it...."Uninformed Spouse"...Would that be under the Sports setting (I imagine there will be some running...)

That would be the mode DW uses. Uninformed spouse. She likes to put the camera strap in the pictures.

I know. A boy in DS's preschool 3 year preschool class had a problem where he could't blink. His eye lids were drooping too so he had to hold his head back to see. In the 4 year class he had surgery. His mom & I sat down with DS to explain it because he couldn't wear bandages and we didn't want DS to get up set when he saw his friend's face. DS's first question was what was wrong with the boy's face. He had NEVER noticed it...or any stranger's questions when out. He hardly noticed the scars either. People say that kids have a lot to learn. I think that adults can learn a lot from kids.

Out of the mouths of babes.....

Dh is sitting here chuckling because of Becka's nagging Andy. He wants everyone to know that we are not much better off than you, Andy. We have the formal items hanging all over the house. we have pirate stuff all over the house. we do have one suitcase packed. it has pirate items, some non wrinklable semi dress items, and the items for the school. DD & I finished the xmas cards, magnets, and name tags for everyone. I finished the stateroom door magnet. we are having a bit of a problem finding sunscreen that we can take through security. DD & DH cannot go out on the deck without some sunscreen. they burn in the shade. I can't seem to find any tubes that are 3/4 oz. I guess we can get it in the airport in orlando. I just can't believe how close we are.

Our sunscreen will go in our checked luggage.

 

[DrHug]

Me too! Me too!

Okay, Okay! LOL. I think the same site will apply to all, since it has a few cameras listed there. Only problem is that it costs $$$. All of the old free sites are long gone. Rats!!! There used to be some very good ones.

 

[87Heel]

I'm out, too. West Coast, the next milestone is yours! (Or you could leave it for Brack and JoJo.)

 

[MrsMork]

As formal as you want to make it - everything from tuxes to suit and tie.

(no shorts on this group)

What?? Are you saying Dennis is too old to wear his shorts in the diningroom? OY! Back to the drawing board I guess!

 

[lbgraves]

I am going to try to sleep now too. I need to hear the alarm later today!

 

[becka]

[MrsMork]

Hey thanks you guys! I had a really bad day too and since you will all see me I am going to tell you why. I have skin cancer on my face. Not a really big deal because they take them off really fast and it is just an hour office visit, but today I had 3 "problematics" taken off and I have lovely black stitches on both sides of my face. The stitches come out Tuesday, but today I look a lot like frankenstien. I am hoping they will all be perfect by next monday, and they should be very very light then. The plastic surgeon who takes them off is really good and has done a great job in the past. I am bummed because I figure if I am going to a plastic surgeon I want something good. Anyway the anesthetic is wearing off and I am going to take a tiny pain pill to sleep for just tonight. Really this is not a big deal, I am just telling you why it was so cool to read all your posts! (and in case I still look like frankenstien)

Glad you get them taken care of quickly, Kim. Frankenstien, probably not.

 

[DrHug]

I can't believe it!!!

I just called WDW again, to see if we could switch to a value resort next week knowing nothing would come up and ready to cancel and bunk with my mom...well, she found ASMusic!! So I am getting back $200 (well on my room credit, my Poly deposit covered two nights and $200 back!! Yippeeeeeee!!!!)
My reservation number stayed the same??!!! and CM Ruby, remembered me by my email address!! Anyway I am happy we are not going to stay with my mom!

Woo Hooo! Sounds like your luck is changing. Now get out there and get the Next milestone!!!! <----------Me, rooting for YOU !!!!!!

 

[MrsMork]

Perhaps you should email one to me, Angie, dh chrisva. Always have to keep your backups offsite. The storm could zap your computers.

Who me???

 

[MrsMork]

OMG - I just read your reply and thought you were talking about your ethnicity....I was like...WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT...no rope!!!! Duh!!!

There is a little rope on Dennis' side, but we don't talk about them.

 

[DrHug]

Find us at Epcot. We are always there! Anyone else???

 

[MrsMork]

Yes! Todd and Melissa, Thanks in advance for those. I collect cards, so those are right up my alley.

Collects cards, collects pins, collects guitars, collects cameras, collects computers, collects chess sets. I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
