2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 6

[sanddune]

Ok, bad mom moment here. I have never used Neosporin before. Yes, I have 4 kids and Sunday is the first time I ever purchased this stuff. The scrape on Deanna's leg had alot of black specs in it, so I thought it was crud from the treadmill so I thought I would get it to help ward off any infection.

Deanna left the band aid (gauze) off all evening yesterday and it looked like it was trying to dry up/growing a scab. We put the band aid back on for school with some neosporin and she came home with it slightly bleeding and oozing this icky stuff - not alot just about the size of a quarter. So does the neosporin do that to a wound? Is that it's way of cleaning it out? I have no clue. I was hoping she would be able to leave it to air out this evening, but she's out babysitting.

So is this normal?

Gail,stop useing the neosporin now. You only needed it for the pain and cleaning the fist day. The meds will keep it soft and oozing. Just cover the big one at night with gauze. They need to air out to dry up. Hope this helps.

OK here is a TZ moment. Just tonight Karen was telling me about the conversations about doing a get together at an indoor water park. She remembered seeing Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky and knew about the new place at Cedar Point. We has NO IDEA about that third place (but it sounds really cool). And in keeping the NY folks in mind we were looking for someplace half way between Chicago and New York.

Here is a another place in (of all places) Erie, PA. http://www.splashlagoon.com/new72688/map/

From Albany (sorry can't spell schenechty) 5hr 43 min
From Chicago 6hr 38 min
From Detroit 3 hr 55 min
From Cleveland 1 hr 25 min (Erin hosts )

What put the twinkle in my eye about this place is the indoor laser tag area (KNOCK KNOCK Cameron, Nick, Alex & Ryan, John, Gary, Mike, Tom, Bruce, Rich & Jeff - wanna come and play?)

Another 2cents for the pot, BUT I think this is closer to center for everyone concerned. Whatta think bout these apples?

How soon you forget about us....your baseball buddies!! Distance from Mt. Vernon, IN to Erie, PA.....9 hrs. and 27 minutes. Cedar Point is doable, but it's at the outside edge...almost 8 hours. This was why I put my .02 in for Indy. I know it doesn't work for the New York people, but a girl can try!! If you have a meet in Erie, I think you'd have to count us out on this one!

Cindy the times that Curt posted for driving to the indoor water park was for Erie,PA. Sandusky ,OH would be a little shorter in time.

Everyone pm me the weeks that you have something going. I'll go through them and try to come up with a weekend . What indoor water park are we going to?Have we voted yet? I'll start it.


1) Sandusky,OH

2) Erie ,PA

Greetings all - long long day and I'm about to call it a night.

Lots to catch up and while it was wonderful to have an office Christmas lunch at Maggiano's it was 3 hours out of my day that should have been used to finish things up. Add to that a couple of meetings that had to be done before I left and I didn't get out of the office until 7pm. Home to pick up Mark and out to dinner (a before vacation tradition). He noticed when I pulled up that my front bumper was smashed in. I did it on the rock hard snow this morning.

Cheryl and Jeff I'm going to pm you my cell phone. I think Amy already has it. If anyone can make it to the Merry Member Mixer or if you want to get together on Sunday give me a call.

Oh, Mary it sounds like one heck of a day! Glad you didn't get hurt this morning. The car can be fixed.
Now go get some rest and have a great time at WDW! It sounds like you need it.

Talked with my cruise roomie Karen NY today - she has arrived at WDW and tomorrow Mary and Mark are coming down - sounds like a mini party for DVC.

Boy, do I have something to share - one of the in-laws who happens to be on this trip went to visit someone who works for accounting on WDW property. Want to know what he said about the DVCers? I was told that they "love" us! Hmmmm - wonder what that means? Just thought I would share that.

Planning to do the Member Mixer and hope to see lots of others! Still having a blast and plan to continue that momentum til next Wed at least - that's when I check out.

Sounds like another meet in planning - sure hope to make it to the next one. Thanks for sharing the pics from the Chicago meet - looks like another fun time.

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning all! Up bright and early for our trip to WDW! In-laws should be here in 1/2 hour to pick us up. By lunch we should be at the world and eating at Kona Cafe.

Mary - can't wait to see you tomorrow at the mixer!

 

[IleneF]

I wear boots in Texas - course it's in the 30s here in the am these days - I love my Uggs!

I LOVE my Uggs! I don't usually spend that much for shoes/boots but Nordstrom had a fantastic sale last xmas and I treated myself...well I usually have buyer remorse and feel bad after spending so much NOT so this time they are the best purchase I ever made I think. They are just sooooo comfortable and warm. I'm trying to take good care of them so they last forever, LOL.

Diana,
My dd tells me of a "fashion trend" visible in the FL malls where the kids where Ugg type boots with shorts...I'm sure you'll fit right in, LOL!

 

[IleneF]

I've been working on a project called "illusion" knitting. Here is what I came up with. Took me most of the day and needs some tweaking still I think but you can get the idea. I want to do one in black and white with facial details like the Mickey Mouse Club logo..hmmmmm had to start somewhere.

 

[IleneF]

sorry tried to make those pictures smaller but can't :-(

And I do gotta say that it's kinda funny watching you all post about indoor water parks in the winter when we're all DVC members...your forgetting the best water park/vacation meet of all DISNEY! Now I'm up for a trip there 'cause I got an annual pass I better use a little. I'm looking into maybe Early February or late March but want to avoid spring break. I keep checking for DINGS and Spirit specials. Wish me luck.

That is REALLY cool, Ilene!!!!

REALLY Cool Ilene!! I have zero talent when it comes to kniting. In all my crafting talent--I just don't have the knitting/sewing gene.

So Julie and Ilene, what color are you Uggs? Mine are PINK !!

Nice job, Ilene. Illusion knitting is something I've been wanting to try for a while, but never seem to have the time. I see we have something in common though.....Denise needles! Don't you love them?

My local yarn shop had a holiday open house, and I bought some size 17's to add to my kit. Everything in the store was 15% off too!

 

[okwdreamin]

WOW, Ilene, that is amazing! Very cool.

Darn...I really wanted the PINK but being as practical as I am and realizing this is probably the only pair I'd ever own I went with black. I've also been eyeing the pink timberland boots for two seasons now...oh well. I'm so happy with my Uggs.

Thanks for the comments on the knitting. I'm going to reverse it today and do red mickey in the background.

Amy, any news on the Tiara? Hanukkah is on the 16th and since it's one of only two gifts for my DD this year I was really hoping to have it by then. If it's not possible please let me know so I can make other arrangements and thanks for trying anyway I do appreciate it.

I'm sorry, Ilene! I have it, I just have to find it again. It ended up in the bags of Christmas gifts for the girls and Chris hid them away when I got home. I'll make it my mission today to find it and get it shipped out to you right away.

 

[alikat99]

As the Little Einsteins say "Mission Completion". I found the tiara, boxed it up, and it's on it's way to you today, Ilene!!!

Hi, I am caught up. Reading of these adventures makes me want to go.
I went to the obgyn on Tues., they wanted to do a d&c today, unfortunately we could not get a straight answer if hospital would be covered.
I went to the ER. ( which I will just say did not solve anything)
I will be trying every herbal remedy in the book.
I have an appointment at another Obgyn for Monday, I will be at mousefest but probably not doing much - a few meets not as mush as I planned.
No fast rides. (No splash :[ no startours or anything.)

If anyone has any home remedies - PM me! I'll be leaving tommorow.
