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

[ohanafamily]

Hey all, Congrats to Deeanna, and...

I've been hesitant to say this, but I feel you are completely overestimating the capacity of a child under two years of age. Children that age typically don't usually engage in "playing with others" in the sense you are thinking of. Ian isn't going to notice who is in Flounders much less care whether or not they are boys or girls. Furthermore, referring to little girls as a "harem" is completely demeaning to women of all ages. I am raising my daughters to be strong minded and independent and will continue to remind them that they are EQUAL to boys and men at any age. It's 2006 and ALL women and girls should be viewed that way ALWAYS. At ages 2 and 3, I will not allow my DDs be classified that way.

Rest assured, there will be plenty of other children in Flounders.

Um Diana, please understand I was not intending my post as deameaning. I apologize (humbly and publicly) for a poor word choice. I really meant no disrespect to you, your children, your ability as a paerent, or any other sexual or religious implications that can be drawn from the use of that term.

I guess I really miised on the "Trying to be cute factor..."

BTW, I DO REALIZE that at his age they don't play that way!!!! I will, however, argue the point about him knowing boys from girls... He can tell boy/girl children his age. I am not saying he understands the concept, but he will flirt with girls when we take him out to eat sometimes. He usually won't talk to boys his age.

As far as other kids in Flounders, I hope he does have someone to play with. I remeber that there weren't a lot of kids in '03 when we went, and I would very much like for him to be able to play with children his own age.

Good Moring Everyone!

Just to keep everyone advised, Karen and I are still alive. There has been a long streach of Tigers games on (for all the good it is doing them) so that seems to be taking up our evenings. Karen's petsitting is picking up a little too so that seems to be taking up her days. She says hello to everyone and hopes that she is forgiven for disapearing for so long.

AMY: Thanks for the PT update, breezed right by. (I read it, but didn't linger).

Cindy and Fireplug: All the talk of Brookfield is making me homesick. Growing up one of my parents best friends lived right around the corner from the zoo in Riverside, so every time we visited we would go over there. (Here is another claim to knowing the famous: That friend in now the owner/operator of Higgins Glass, apprecenticed by the Higgins themselves. It amazes me all the reference to Higgins I find on the internet, too cool.)

I will get Karen on-line sometime this week to see if something can be organized for the Chicago trip we have planned.

Other happenings this weeked: We have Wicked tickets for this Sunday. It will be the third time for Karen and her sister. I've only seen it once before at the Oriental. What a great show.

Well I think that updates us so--- back to the shadowsssss {poof}

The Zoo looks fun. Only plans for this weekend is to see Cars.

Way to go, Deanna & team!!!


I can't believe schools not over yet up there. Just when do they get out?

Their last day is Thursday June 15. We are normally out this week but we started late this school year. The State is trying to get the schools to all start after Labor Day which is making the kids to have to go longer into the summer months.

Well this is it for me until Sunday.
We are all packed and ready to head off to the airport. Raleigh N.C. here we come!

Doing dinner with Jeff's family tonight. Then my niece's graduation & party tomorrow. Saturday we'll be hitting the Museums and checking out downtown Raleigh, and trying to get a baseball game in there somwhere since the Durham Bulls have home games all this weekend! Then back home on Sunday.
So hopefully I'll catch up with everyone in chat on Sunday night!

Sounds like a busy and fun trip! Have a good time. The quick weekend trips are alot of fun!

We have never been to one of the concerts. How far in advance do you need to get a seat before the concert? I know with CP @ Christmas time the line is like an hour

Hi David Nice to see you posting and I hope all is well.

I meant to post this earlier, but I saw a post on the Budget Board that TRU had $4.99 Sing Along Songs DVDs. Cindy was kind enough to send my girls a bunch of VHS tapes several months ago. I tried to burn them to DVD, but my DVD burner wouldn't let me, it's too smart. I wasn't trying to bootleg, just trying to make the girls happier in the car! So I went today and found they had 4 DVDs with the characters in them, so I only spent $20!! These are going to come in handy on that road trip to Ohio we are taking in a few weeks.

Maybe you can invite her to your welcome party. I'd bet she'd go.

Okay, which ones did you buy that I'm suppose to be sending to you? I am SO out of the ebay pack and ship mode, it's not even funny. I still have your list as well as Gail's list of things to ship off. I'm just really suffering from burn out at this point and have no thoughts of listing on ebay any time soon.

I just need to send you two your boxes. I'll do it tonight --- somehow or another we have nothing on our calendar. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

I didn't either, Cheryl.

I'm thinking they will tell us when they are ready. But, sadly, I still think they are missing the boat.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything we can do to encourage them to give us something. We're just going to have to sit back and wait -- whether we like it or not.
