2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 3

[WDWLVR]

I hear the Columbus Zoo is very cool. I think we'll have to go.

Stay safe, Diana. Is someone going to check on the pool while your gone? Or, would it be a better plan to cancel your trip to the inlaws to make sure everything is safe at home.



I just had one of those the other night -- boy, do my feet feel wonderful. I really should have them done more often but this was my first one since late last summer (maybe for the cruise). After I broke my toe twice last fall, the thought of having my toe touched was not a pleasant one so I put it off again and again.

But, now my nails are nicely polished and rearing to go. What I didn't think to do was bring sandels with me that day that wouldn't rub off the fresh polish so I left the store with the cute, little white "slippers" on. I even wore them into the house and caused Walker to be in hysterics. As I was going to throw them away, Walker insisted we save them for the next time I paint my own nails. Something tells me he's planning on helping me with that job.

Oh, I SO need to get a pedicure. It's been WAY too long. And, since it's summer, I'm spending a lot of time either barefoot or in flip-flops, so I really should make an appt to get one.

Ilene - I hope you feel better soon1 Lots of pixie dust to you

I haven't been over to the DVC board yet but I have a friend that ate at the new Turf Club yesterday during CM previews. She said the food was great, it opens on Friday and that Jim Lewis was there. I'm excited to try it out!

Amy - any other news on the pirates and princess event that you can share?

Diana - I was worried about all you guys up north when I saw the news this morning. It's so scary to live near flood areas!

Quickly checking in this morning in not so good shape from bed :-(
My follow up at neuro went well, then I had a chiro appt. That went well too and he gave me some neck stretches with caution to do just what was comfortable and a referral to a local PT he likes. Went over to check out the Pt and make appt. for tonight. Got home, tried exercises...YIKES something didn't feel good. Next thing I know my neck muscles are spasming unbelievable producing excruciating pain again like in the beginning :-( Tried ice/heat...no good...even worse. Called on call doc at pain clinic. He said sounds like I made the herniation worse and I could take flexeril and it should start to work in 40min. I had some in the house from an injury last year (I never took them for it). I took and was able to sleep. I can NOT get out of bed now without such excruciating pain that I can't walk or drive. I think I will try to get someone to take me to the hospital :-( Please wish me luck...I was just preparing to go back to work next week too...SHEESH!

Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. that you find some relief

If anyone has some spare pixie dust, there's some NYers who could sure use it! The flooding here is terrible, especially in the town I live in. I don't live anywhere near the river, but my friends who do have spent the entire night watching and waiting for their houses to be filled with water. The place where we are supposed to go to dinner tomorrow night for fireworks is completely under feet of water right now, the restaurant closed and the fireworks have been cancelled. The Thruway right now is closed from my exit all the way to Syracuse because much of it is completely covered with water. It's really sad.

I was watching some news reports from the areas with all the rain. They showed that one restaurant just slipping away into the river. Scarry. Hope the rain stops and the floods subside soon for your friends in those areas.

Ilene I am sending you lots of

Diana I hope your water receeds and we would love to take some

I LOVE the chiropractor!!! DH and I go for routine care about once a month. DH sits behind a computer all day and I hunch over patients. About 13 years ago I have my first x-rays from the chiropractor and my spine was actually bending to the right because of my work. I go for routine adjustments just to keep myself standing up straight. I have never heard of anyone dying but I suppose it is possible. I know it is possible to die from going to the dentist too. Freak accidents happen.

Not much going on around here today. DD has her 6 month Opthamologist appt. today. We will probably head to the gym for swimming later.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

DD has her 6 month Opthamologist appt. today.

Sounds like our house. Both my kids are on every 6 month opthalmologist appointments too! (although dd was going every 3 months there for awhile)

Seems glaucoma is HUGE in dh's family (i.e. nearly EVERYONE has it) Mine are 9 and 11 and aleady have high pressures (normal is teens, KT's were as high as 27 and 33) Right now we're still in the watching phase as all of their testing (visual fields, retinal imaging, etc) is still normal.

Make sure you get to the Koala exhibit. There's a new baby koala there who has recently come out of mom's pouch. And the tigers in Asia quest hang out (i.e. sleep) RIGHT by the window!!!

This is NOT zoomed in:

And you can make out the very edge of the second tiger on the bottom left. I have a picture of the two of them, but the glass was all smudgy and it reflected back everyone's outfit they were wearing!

Aww.....don't you just want to rub his belly?

I'm anxious to see the Asia exhibit, I've read it's very nice. And how cool is a baby koala!!

I was watching some news reports from the areas with all the rain. They showed that one restaurant just slipping away into the river. Scarry. Hope the rain stops and the floods subside soon for your friends in those areas.

I took a ride into town when I went to Walmart. The town is packed with newsvans and people watching and National Guard people helping out. I drove over the bridge that goes over this river and it was amazing. There's a huge island in the middle that you can't even see anymore. There's just water everywhere and crap floating down the river--tables, boats, big barrels. At the restaurant place, where you would go up to order food, the water has to be at least waist high. It's very sad.

I went back to the surgeon today for a follow up check. He said everything looked fine and gave me a clean bill of health and a plastic bag with about 50 little gall stones He told me that's my souvenier from the surgery.

Funny! I had mine here for a couple of years. Only not 50 little ones. About 3...and one of them was HUGE! That one was actually broken in two b/c they had to crush it in order to get it through the incision!! YIKES!!! It was about the size of a peach pit!!!

Finally I got sick of seeing them on my kitchen counter!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Good news Gail on a clean bill of health!

 

[Diana Lyn]

I still have a bag with 4 or 5 kidney stones in it that I was supposed to drop off at the doctor. It's just sitting on my dining room hutch, I didn't think about it until you posted. Maybe we can get them all together , make some jewelry and sell it on ebay?

 

[alikat99]

Amy - any other news on the pirates and princess event that you can share?

Sorry, I did say that I was going to get back to you guys on that. I listened to mom's message again and here's the scoop.

The Pirates and Princesses Party at the Magic Kingdom will be
January 22, 26, 29
February 1, 5, 8, 12, 15, 23, 26
March 2, 5, 8

The DVC/passholder discount dates will be the January dates and February 1 & 5.

Tickets go on sale on July 10th.

Adults are $36.96
Children are $29.95

No indication on what the DVC/passholder discount will be, but I would imagine that it's 10% or so, or similar to the MNSSHP or MVMCP.

Oh Diana, that just sounds terrible. I think that floods really do take a lot out of a community. I hope that everything returns to normal as soon as possible.
