KT and Nick are never forced to try new things in a public setting. They will typically gag themselves until they turn red and spit out the offending food.

I thought about this last night. I had made brown rice as a side dish for dinner. DS didn't realize it wasn't white rice. And yep, he spit it out! I had him put soy sauce on the rest, and he ended up eating a few bites, but he told me he didn't want it again.

But DD loved it, so there's no accounting for taste.

I confess its 12:15 and I am still up. I was studying so I have an excuse. It looks like the weather might be getting sever here around 4am. Other areas are already under tornadoe watches, not us yet. The worst should be to the north of us. But our weather radio is on and by my bed, planning to be woken up to it going off early tommorow. Please send pixie dust our way that we stay safe tommorow morning. They are saying up to 3 inches of rain, hail up to golf ball size, damaging wind gusts in excess of 65 mph and isolated tornadoes. Stay safe for anyone else in the Ark-La-Miss area.

Good Night,
Matt

Matt - hope you made it through the night safe and sound. We get tornados in Iowa also and when the weather gets bad it can be scary. check in with us sometime today so we know you are okay.

Yeah, we tried Netflicks. Between the mailing times, and the broken DVDs, didn't seem worth it. We do love movies! We watched Moulin Rouge again last night. We're pretty weird, I guess.

Really? We had it for a few years. Only have had one broken DVD, one lost DVD and one scratched DVD. Our turn around time is about 4 days b/c there is a distribution center in Cleveland.

Paul

Paul. In the confusing Debbie call yesterday she mentioned you were waitlisted for main and it came through. Now, don't hold me to this as that was early in the conversation and it got more and more confusing from there!!

We made it through fine. We have a weather radio since our area is known for bad weather. Went off at 3am, then off again to tell there was a tornadoe on the ground at 3:30, and kept going off nonstop basically until 5:00. Power went off at 3am and came back around 6am so not to bad. We survived fine. I have been told there may be damage to the house we are building unforturnately. We willl have to check it out. The tornado warning expired also. It was very scary almost worse then the hurricane, you just have no clue what would happen next. Thanks for thinking of us. Hoping power would stay off so school would be canceled, but its back. Thanks again, and we are glad we are safe. Have a great day everyone.

You posted yesterday how it was scary that DW and I posted the same thing about the school bus.....What is really scary is that I said the exact same think when I read the post. Now I am starting to think like you. It's scary....

Oh,yes, I am truly frightened now too!!!

Ok, checking in while at work today.

Boy you were VERY busy last night!

I woke up to 15 pages!!! had to finish reading here in work!

we are on the late seating - but didn't sign up for the group - hopefully we will be close by!

hey, the way this group is going..........25,000 should be a problem! ​

Good Tuesday Morning Everyone!

Busy day today. Trying to get all the last minute shopping stuff done today. I have a few packages I need to send out tomorrow and we are going to do our Christmas on Sunday. So I need to get all this done.

Mary - hope things go well at the dentist today. I had to take Alyssa to the dentist yesterday. She had a baby tooth that had a filling in it that started bothering her on Friday. Over the weekend it got progressively worse and she ended up with a full blown infection. Since the tooth was a little loose anyway the dentist said the best thing was to pull it, so that's what we did. She was a trooper and did pretty good. The only bad thing is he put her on an antibotic so now I have to drag that along on the cruise and give to her 4 times a day.

Hope everyone has a great day.

When I was little (and my parents struggled more to make ends meet) I remember my dad cooking steaks on the grill. But only enough for my mom and himself--and it wasn't often at all. For the kids he cooked hot dogs...but he CALLED them "tube steaks." Ah, what you believe when you're young and stupid.

Unexpected TOP! I'll take it! Shared with MrsMork, of course!

I remember going to church camp, and for the first dinner, they told us we were getting steak. Once instead, they confessed it was "tube" steak. Very funny!

Glad you are safe and sound.

Now I am going to put on my Mom hat. What are you doing on the computer when the weather is that bad? If the thunderstorms are that bad then the lightening must be bad (I know I grew up in Florida) so you don't need to be on the computer. Okay, now I am taking off my Mom hat.

Have a great day.

Mark and I talked about that once - how growing up going to McDonalds was a major event that maybe we did once or twice a year!

Very much a simplier time.

What is that line...it was the best of times it was the worst of times.

Absolutely. I remember asking my mom to go to a McDonalds' type restaurant when I was younger. She replied "I don't have any money". I said "You can go to the money mover (our banks ATM at the time)." Her answer "The money mover doesn't move when there's no money to move."

And how our kids lives are different! My kids knew every fast food restaurant sign well before they could read. I've tried to cut back on eating out, but with our crazy schedule, it's just easier. It does make picky eaters pickier though. They just don't understand why I can't make 3 different things. After all, they can order whatever they want in the restaurant?

IMPORTANT!!!

Paul. In the confusing Debbie call yesterday she mentioned you were waitlisted for main and it came through. Now, don't hold me to this as that was early in the conversation and it got more and more confusing from there!!

That explains it......

I think that anybody who has linked reservations needs to talk/email Stacey before doing anything about dining.....(Sorry Stacey.....)

There have been multiple problems - and AMY (who Stacey is working with) seems to be the only one who can deal with the crazy DISers.....

We need to stop calling Debbie about dining......(if you're not linked and not part of the groups sitting together - fine call on your own)

Hi everybody,
Got our docs today. Hooray!!! Nice birthday present huh? You all playing tag are going to have to go to the bowls of deck 2 to tag the Escola family. 2647 thats us.
Still have to pack.I lagg. DH got me good this weekend. Thought we were going to San Francisco for work and ended up at a spa all day and then a big suprise party. Whew what a hangover the next day...margaritas were endless.
I'm 40 now. Doesn't feel any different . Scored about 6 bottles of wine from friends...do you think theres a trend happening here?
Well we are off to dinner. I'm not cooking on my holiday.
cheers to all, -D

Happy birthday Denise! I just had my 40th too. And we're fellow deck 2 folks. 2573. I just filled out my docs this morning, and they stil have that room number, so a higher deck request just never came through.

Oh scrapbooking queen. KT has told me a few times recently that she wants to learn how to scrapbook. I am NOT creative in that way...give me a complex cross stitch pattern, and I can do it, but don't make me DESIGN anything.

Anyway, do you know...would local scrapbooking stores have classes for kids? I'd like to look into it after the cruise.

Our Michael's offers all kinds of classes for kids. I'm sure they offer scrapbooking too. It's usually Saturday mornings.

And while I'm babbling, Lowes' does the same thing one Saturday a month. Our Cub Scouts usually hit one a year. Lowes is free, I think you have to buy materials for the Michael's ones.

 

[tkd lisa]

And guess what UPS found?



You got it, DOCS.

:thewave:

Dancing with you here Sue! In fact, I'm going to open up the smilies for the first time on the new board.
:jumping4:

See what you inspired me to do?

Just had a long post disappear into cyberspace somewhere... aaarrrggghh!

Eyes are bugging out after spending last three hours trying to catch up on 60 pages of posts. Sorry I haven't been posting and participating as much as I'd like. We are going thru a rough time with Jessie... not knowing how much longer she has is tearing us apart. With the cruise getting closer by the minute, we are worried she will take a turn for the worst and our DD(24) will have to deal with it while we are gone. Please keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers. It is an agonizing time and we don't want to force the issue before her time out of convenience. Because of all of this drama, we have nothing packed... and I am starting to panic.
Sorry, don't mean to be a downer... just had to vent a bit I guess and get it out of my system

Leslie: Adding you to my prayer list. Why does all this stuff have to happen now? It seems like we've all had a run of bad times? Well, that's why God gave us supportive friends... to pull us through them, huh? I know I've gotten a lot of comfort from this group.

I was on the computer during lightning, yes. lol I was mostly on to check the weather and see what was going on. Had that and weather radio going. Wasnt able to use the laptop when is real bad because we had no power anyways so the internet didnt work. We just had to listen to the weather radio all night.
