[KSDTink]

Nobody took a picture of me and Keira when we were together? Drat.

Hmmm. Well, I did find this one....

I'll keep looking and see what else I can find.

Hi everyone, I'm baaaack

So as you know I have been very busy and on top of all that 2 of my computers were ...hacked...yes hacked. One deleated windows and reformated my comp and the other attached a trojen to a game hack that my son DL. That one I talked with the hacker through my notepad for 2 hrs and he had complete controll of my computer and I played nice with him so he would not kill my comp,

I just got 2 comps back from our computer fixeruper guys and haveing the 3rd checked out also. Know I need to change all my passwords and such and hope for the best. They don't think that they got any info but they said they they cant be sure.

The guys we use are great and trustworthy and to top it off one is blind and has been since birth and his partner is paralyzed from waist down and climbs up my stairs on his butt.

The blind guy, Cory can fix the comp through hearing the pings for all the programs and he can hear what are trojans, viruses, and windows and all programs...so impressive. He also has a degree in engineering.

They are both very smart and the one that is blind is a white hacker....he is used to get the black hackers....like good vs evil.

This time around it cost $300 to fix all 3 and this time around the boys had to pay for it

I need to learn how to fix comps that what I need.

Kat sorry so much trouble with your dad sometimes family memebers can drive us crazy...that is why I live 3000 miles away from them

Well just wanted to check in to say HI so HI Im going to DL wwith my girlfriends on the 12,13 and 14th of July at the Grandcalifornian...using my points. We will not be doing DL just relaxing by the pool and hanging out with no kids or DH's I am in such need of that

Well I will check back tomorrow....so till than have a blessed day and peace out

Hi Dee!!! Long time no see/hear!!

Funny you should ask! I was looking for pics of JR last night and I found this one:

 

[KSDTink]

Ooops, sorry JR. Here's the one I think you want!!!!

 

[magiroux]

Ooops, sorry JR. Here's the one I think you want!!!!

Hey, I like the *new* me!!!! Thanks, for the face lift, Kat Not sure about the hat, though - does it come with matching shoes??? I'll just lean over and ask SWMBO, she'll know

Hope everyone is well and having a great summer

I wish I knew. I talked to DB today and told him that I wonder if DF isn't upset because neither of us jumped up and said "Oh, would you like me to see if I can donate a kidney?" I didn't because I can't. My kidneys have enough issues of their own after being diabetic for 36 years. I may even need a new one eventually (knock on wood that I don't!). Maybe we didn't feel sorry enough for him . DB also said DF told him that he (DF) kept telling me how spoiled Samantha is. Ummmmm.. what???

Yes, she is an only child and she IS spoiled. I make no bones about that. But she does get punished and she is pretty well behaved over all. Apparently DF thinks otherwise . Gee Dad, sorry we aren't living up to your standards of perfect parents but you weren't exactly there to be an example for us...

Sorry, I rant....

Neighborhood rummage sale was this morning. It sprinkled off and on and we finished up after lunch. Since then it has been raining steadily. I hope it hasn't been raining up north were Sam is! Haven't seen Dave all day....I suppose I should call him

Parents just seem to get grumpy....I wouldn't worry too much about what he said...I'll bet he didn't really mean it, he was just having a "mood." And he certainly has to know the situation with your kidneys. And I think Sam is a perfectly normal girl for her age. Not spoiled, not perfect, just a cute little ten year old.

Still way too far off and still trying to figure out how to afford it. Desperately want to go to WDW this year but don't have the money.

Well JR, when my son finds the money tree I will be sure and direct you to that nursery!

No, I was pretty sure you ladies would never stop talking. (Ok, there, I've given you something else to talk about -- how to insult me).

I also regret I didn't spend more time with y'all in December -- there was just so much to do and the kids going ten different directions. Kind of like this summer.

Hey, hey, hey.....see what I mean about older people getting grumpy...

Wow, Robin...what an Odyssey! Looks like things are all back in working order just in time for your vacation!

Hi Mary Ann...Dee...

good to see some of you all checking back in. (Although I know it was just for Kat's magic camera!) And Mary Ann, I must say there is something truly special about you in that last picture...but JR only had eyes for SWMBO...and his plate of food! (OK, have I picked on you enough yet?)

We're leaving Thursday for our family stressout trip. We'll be gone through 4th of July week.

Everyone have a safe and Happy 4th!

maybe next time we can set aside get together time..they tried to set a womens nite out..but maybe it shld have been just an "everyones" nite out together..
i am getting board wth thoughts of mex riv cruise..no castaway cay!!..and all that flying time from penna to calif..
i hate flying..fla is 2 hours..i hate tht but it is over quickly..
but calif is 5 1/2 hours!!! i cant think about it..ill get sick..
well gotta go to work..take care all

 

[3pirates]

Yes, the ladies night out sounded fun, but pretty complicated to leave DH. I wouldn't want him to leave me on the cruise. Plus, for those of us with late seating, some things were shutting down before we finished...right Kat?

Joanie, I bet you'll love the Riv. Maybe you could go onto CruiseCritic and look at some of the destinations...get you excited about being in those places! And 5 hours is a pretty long flight....just pretend it isn't going to happen...for awhile!

 

[dee47]

Hi Dee!!! Long time no see/hear!!

Funny you should ask! I was looking for pics of JR last night and I found this one:

That's it! I knew there was something special on ST. Lucia!

Thanks, Kat!

Hi all you strangers....nice to see you here again...yes you all know who you are Dee sorry you did not look me up that would have been great to see you!!!!! don't forget next time

Gee life is good! After lot's of $$$$ all 3 comps are up and running correctly and much faster thank you Amazing what a good hack can do for your computer . I am sitting outside on this beautiful sunny day near my pool in my cabbana listening to the birds drinking my coffee and best of all NO KIDS they are inside doing there thing.

Can't wait for the cruise. Have a 3 day trip coming up with my girl friends to stay at the GrandCalifornian at DL. We will not be doing DL just hanging out by the pool yelling "Hay Cabbana boy please bring me my banana margarita and walking down DTD and such. Will be using my DVC pts so feels like free all though we know in our hearts it's not.

Yum DH just brought me some bacon...yum again. The heck with the eggs. Thinking of going to SeaWorld tomorrow any one want to come? Glad we have season passes or after the money spent for these comps. would not be going anywhere.

Kat your so funny with the pasting of images they make me laugh

O' geesh billie is calling me ..must go and see what he want's. He is saying something but not a clue since he is calling from the upstairs window and I have the pool filling up with water. Will check back in awhile have a great day...yes Billie I'm coming...

Yes, we should have planned it better. I spent a few hours drinking whiskey and watching football down in Diversions while everyone else was off seeing a movie I wasn't interested in and all of the guys could have gone and done that while the ladies gabbed.

Well than you should have just cruised with us in July
We will also miss Castaway cay but we do like Mexico and love the food.

It will be nice for us not to have to fly 6 hrs this time. are you staying at DL before the cruise? We will be staying at DL for 7 days prior but not just doing Disney.

Joanie if you can go parasailing it is fun. We did that in Puerta Valerta.

Seven days on the cruise are going to go sooooo fast. We always prefere at least 10 days but O' well, as Michael says to me" 7 days is better than nothing Mom"...We will be sure just to live it up while at Disney. Altoghether it will be 14 days.

I would like to go again for the Panama Canal....widh they had made that in the middle of summer,would have been on it for sure

Well till tomorrow you all have a great day/night and chat with ya than

Hi everyone
Well we are off to Sea World today. Branden my 13 y0 is doing battle with us that he does not want to go. We have said he is still to young to stay home so he has to come and he is so pissed...OOOOO to be 13 again....NOT!!!....

He will mope and complain and slow us down for awile but will join in when we get there.

My niece has been fine but has made a new family out of her best friends. She goes every where with them and sleeps over there all the time and wants to live with them. Had to nip that in the bud today and last night.

She has been rude to us and made us the outsiders. I think at there house there is les structure so she is more comfortable there. She has adopted them as she did with the other friends in Florida and has placed them first.

She has been doing what she is suppose to here and did very well in school. We just needed to put some summer boundries down.

Well I need to get ready to head out. Also do more battle with Branden. Why cant kids just say...Yes mom what ever you say mom...Sea
World yay lets go.

Michael and I did a double feature at the movies last night we saw Bruce almighty...funny and enjoyable and Rattatoulli...both we lots of fun

Well I'm off have a great day and will chat soon.

 

[KSDTink]

Robin, sounds like you have your hands full with those two!!! Sam goes off to camp a week from yesterday. That will be a nice break.

Things have been pretty quiet here so far this summer. We went south and had a great time with Sherrena, Dave and the boys, then put up with my DF and his drama. He seems to be better now that he has gotten back from his visit to Chapel Hill, but we will have to see. Now I am really looking forward to our trip to DL in August!!!! Other than that just relaxing and enjoying the summer.

 

[HAPPY-AT-DISNEY]

kat, have a great time im dl..i would be very jealous but ill be in dw in sept.. tht is right around the corner for both of us.. yahoo
robin how long is your neice going to stay wth you, has you sister come out to visit with her? does you niece talk about going home? it seems sh is developing a similar camp in calif as sh did in fla, socially..or is it diff..eventually sh will have to grow up..we all did.. but for now..my prayer is for you and your family..how is the rest of your family in the patience dept..cause you are an angel
well gotta go
keep cool everyone

 

[KSDTink]

Did everyone have a good 4th?? We watched the fireworks from the boat out on the reservoir but they didn't start until 10pm and were pretty pathetic. Sam asked if that was all! I told her not everyplace can do fireworks like the ones we saw in December! I also said she could see better ones in about a month! Yay!!!! We also had nature's fireworks (heat lightning) lighting up the sky in between the man-made ones so it was an interesting evening.

We had a great 4th we went to the Park/Lake and barbacued and they had bands playing from 1-9 ...the Rock band was great! WE played Frisbee,football,baseball and water fights and lots of other stuff. There were at least 2,000 people/kids there at the park area....about 10,000 all around the lake. The fireworks were great also.

They keep the center of the park bloked off by an oronge line so no one can park themselves there and is used to throw the balls and frisbee playing and such....just love the 4th there.

Kat sorry that your fireworks were not so great but at least you had a great heat lightning show and you have the Disney firworks to look forward to

We will be pulling out the Camper/motorhome out this weekend to start getting it ready for Camping in less than 2 weeks. It's alot of work getting it ready and setting up camp and breaking down camp and all that stuff but sure love where we camp and the boys love it also.

CAmpland by the bay is about 20 minutes away on the bay but the campground is great and the kids activieties are none stop. They have the beach with beach toys (also 5 minutes to the big beach) bands on the weekends, DJ in the Teen tent 3 times a week, 3 pools, adult activities, a store and laundry and lots of rental toys. They have other things also like the icecream parlor. Also firepits at every campsite and electricity

We book 2 years in advance to get the spot we like and like the DCL there are always the same great people camping year after year. I know sounds like not real camping but that's okay because it is a lot of fun and we still camp and do camping stuff.

My boys like it so much that if it came down to DCL and missing campland than they would pass on DCL in a second.

WEll just cahttering along here so am going to say adios....have a great day and look forward to your next replys
