[GrumpyC.Hook]

if you want to remove my photos you can it won't let me i know they were only up a short time but i don't want to break the site so anything i can do to help!

 

[suziemva]

AMy, I did remove your album but only to see if it corrected the problem and it didn't. Thank you for being so gracious! Still working on the problem but don't want to delete anyones photos without permission.

Shyla, would it be possible if I could delete the port maps? I know you spent time on these, I'm so sorry!

 

[ohsodisney]

Susie , if you want to remove my pictures that fine with us , I think everyone knows who we are now . I tried but wasnt' able to do it , we tried at least 4 times.

It was beautiful here today 70 and sunny. We went to the Parkway again to let the girls ride their bikes. I'm pooped!

I can't believe 2 weeks from today we will be at Animal Kingdom Barry is totally excited now , talks more about it then I do.

Good night everyone!

Pat , hope your feeling better !

 

[STEVEMED]

Suzie..you can remove my pictures also.Can't wait to meet everyone.

 

[suziemva]

OMGoodness! Trish just checked another yahoo site of hers and it's a system wide problem!! DO NOT DELETE ANY PHOTOS! If I have done some (with permission) please accept my apologies. Let's give it another 24 hours to see if the problem gets fixed.

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

RELAX PEOPLE!

Suzie, we're at 25% of 30 MB - that means we still have 22.5 MB to use up.

I did remove some of the port maps, but I actually find them very useful. I also would like to see Amy's pics and I am at a loss why the door signs have been removed when this is a topic right now. I removed some of my family photos that were irrelevant, but it's not necessary for anyone to remove their photos. That is, as Suzie said, not the problem.

OK - now that that is over with. I am off to do some scrapping. ulittletinker, I am so going to bring you to the dark side of digital scrapping - you would love it after seeing your door signs.

 

[suziemva]

The reason we removed some of the pics, etc was because it looked like we exceeded the allotment for the pics (hence the 5MB remark posted earlier). BUT that now seems NOT to be the problem. That's why I said not to remove any more pics to see if it corrects itself within 24 hours. That was once Trish found out that it WASN'T our site but ALL the yahoo sites.

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE ANY MORE PICTURES. ONCE THIS IS STRAIGHTENED OUT YOU CAN RE-ADD THE ONES THAT WERE REMOVED!!!

Hope this clears up things. I love seeing all the pictures (including the maps, they are very helpful!). I especially like to see all the door signs, too! I didn't want to remove any of the pics but thought that seemed to be the problem. Obviously, I was wrong.

Hopefully, this gets fixed quickly.

Barb- When we were in Canada this weekend the town was competing to be dubbed Hockeyville. Everywhere people were wearing hockey Jerseys.

Now that the trip is so close I am getting this panicky feeling I am going to forget something.

Roses- So very sorry you will not be able to join all us us. I hope you will be well soon.

Pat- Take care of yourself!

I think I found the problem. The site says"(Total upload cannot exceed 5MB for accounts). " and we are at 30% of 30MB and I figured that is at 9MB...that is correct math, right?

It means you can't upload a file larger than 5MB. Not that we can't have more than 5MB uploaded at any one time as the total of all pictures.

Sorry to get all huffy, but I am particularly attached to the photos of everyone, especially the door signs right now. And especially since we just got some people to put their photos up- ahem, Amy - and I want it to work that we can have this available.

OK - back to the regularly scheduled programming. We're all good now.

 

[Snoopyto]

Good Job CG!!!

 

[suziemva]

Okay, my last post on this and I'm through with it. Looks like you can upload pics again. Amy and everyone else, please go back and upload your pictures, door signs, and maps.

Good night.

 

[GrumpyC.Hook]

I reposted my photos for those who would like to see my signs and my mom and I.

Suzie thanks for working on this and CG thanks for figuring out the issues.

Good Morning Everyone!

I am finally able to get on, after reading some 100 pages at 26k internet speed here in FL!! I am dying, going thru major internet withdraw. I guess it is a good thing, cause when I checked my stocks this morning, it wasn't a good week to be watching for me My dad and I are going to take our laptops to the nearest Holiday Inn for a good dose of high speed wireless access!!! What did we do 20 years ago???? Oh, and my cell phone doesn't work in the condo so I ahve to go outside to call my husband.....

First of all, thank you Suzie for calling me and informing me about Sue R. I hope she is doing better.....and PAt as well. Take care of yourselves.

Things in Florida are fine with the exception of my 76 year old grandmother having a near heart attack over meal time. If we don't have dinner planned(which I HATE on vacation) by about 9am she has an absolute fit!!! Oh and don't think about going out to eat...we have plenty of food here....blah blah blah....We are having-strangely unpredicable weather.....the weather map shows perfectly sunny, but north east winds br inging random little rain showers. But, if you don't like the weather in FL, wait 10 minutes! The girls are having a blast in the pool. We got them Snorkel gear for the pools so they can practice for St. John. I can't believe how good they are doing, Katie especially since she is only 4. She doesn't even need a floatation vest. She is like a little mermaid, very comfortable in the water!!

I'd love to download some pics, but I don't have all day!! Maybe on Thursday when I am at my BIL's house! I will sit at his tiki bar....and bask in the high speed wireless access.... I am very simple, a frosty drink and my laptop!!

Oh and shoes- this was a great trial run for us- I am bringing 4 pairs of shoes....flip flops, flip flops, flip flops and dressy flip flops......and 1 pair of shorts! The girls, same! We don't wear anything else. I packed in 1 duffle bag for all 3 of us and we still haven't worn everything! Katie of course had an accident last night wearing a brand new tie dye tshirt so of course you can imagine the mess.....only Katie!

Here is the funny part of the trip- with 5 people and a boat load of crap in my truck, my air conditioning quit on Friday of last week on our trip down!! We drove all the way to Emporia VA from Philly(over 5 hours) with the windows wide open and heat coming out of the vents. NOT fun, oddly enough, it worked the next morning as we got up from our hotel!

For those of you who bought the Aquabag for the camera or whatever it is called-it works awesome!! I have been practicing with it. Just make sure if you plan on bringing it, bring those little glasses cleaners or a cloth that you'd clean a lens with because the plastic is optical grade plastic and needs to be kept clean if you don't want fingerprints in your pictures!

I am headed out on my walk this morning. I have been walking about 4 miles each day on the beach, it is so gorgeous. This is the most beautiful beach, very wide which is unusual for this day and age with all the beach erosion. Put on my Ipod and I am off.... I need to since all I have done is eat. My mom packed a scale so I am able to keep track of my gain.....only 1 lb so far, back on the plan today but the girls and I are headed down to Melborne on Thursday for a party with Pat's family which is never good for the ole diet!

Hannah is still sleeping(another nice perk of vacation), Katie is in her bathing suit and goggles at 8:30 ready for the beach. Unfortunately(I know, tough life) it is high tide and it comes right up to the stairs anymore.

Take care all, see you soon enough!

Jen

Great to hear you are having such a great vacation. I fully understand about the internect connection issue. When we moved out here, they don't have high speed available so I was on dial-up. I couldn't even upload pictures on my website it was so slow. We ended up having to purchase a satellite system just for the internet. It still isn't very good, but at least it's not dial up. I could upgrade and get faster service, but I'm already paying too much.

Our spring break was in March. Does everyone else here have spring break right now? We get this Friday off school and we are supposed to go on Monday, but this year there is an inservice so we have it off too. The teachers have to go on Monday though. My sister is a teacher here so I guess we're babysitting that day.

Our temperature here hit the teens yesterday. I found the box with the summer shoes in it and I was so excited. Turns out, there are only 2 complete pairs of shoes in the box, but I found one of Ben's toy guns, some winter boots we were looking for, a skipping rope and some of Len's work gloves. It's like they purposely put only one shoe from each pair into there. We leave in 9 days, I don't think I'll ever be ready!

Just to prepare everyone, we'll probably all be wearing the same clothes everyday while on the cruise, and our shoes won't match. But we will be walking around with that wonderful "I'm on holidays" glow. (and maybe by then our skin won't be glowing in the dark!) You can all just pretend you don't know us if you like.

Have a Disney Day everyone.

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Hey everyone, do you remember Shyla's friend who posted the trip report about St. Maarten and the beach near the airport? Well if you do check this out Beach Video .

PhillyJen nice to see you around, hope your having fun.

[jewelgrrl]

Quick post here before I head to work....

Roses- So sorry to hear that you are not able to go. I wish you much pixie dust in the way of a speedy recovery.

Still not packing here. I'm a last minute packer. I still have so much to do, buy a over the door hanger, collapsible hamper, maybe borrow another suitcase, get a few more camcorder tapes. We've got to get the radiator flushed on the car before we leave, and of course clean off the months of grime....lol. And we still haven't asked anyone to watch our furbabies yet. Also, haven't found any pirate stuff either.

Anyone else see the awesome free meal deal come out again for the fall? We've been asked to go with some friends. HMMMM..... So tempting. We may be able to pull it off after the cruise. Why does disney do this to us now??? LOL

Suzie, just wondering if you were going to send out that cd to me? Just waiting on it so I can send you the ones I've made along with Trish.

Anyone see all that tornado damage on the news a few days ago? Well, our house is just a few miles away from one that hit. A little too close for comfort I say. Our tax guys house is completely destroyed along with basically a whole road. The one hear went on for about 7 miles. Terrible. We drive by the devastation every day on the way to work.

Well, i've gotta go now, I'll check back later.

 

[OHJulie]

Good morning all!

Great video - wouldn't that be fun!

My kids are on Spring Break next week. I can't wait - one more day and then we can all sleep in a little. I swear that we still have not adjusted to the time change. We all get up at 6:00 on school days, it will be so nice to sleep till 7:00.

Jen - the beach sounds wonderful! I have been unmotivated to work out for the last few days. We did go for a walk arouind the neighborhood last night, but the beach would be so much nicer.

Julie - Have I said how much I enjoy the pictures? What a great way to start the day! Especially now that the numbers are getting soooo small. 17 days!

I do not think that I can post my door signs. I did them in Powerpoint because I am so computer challanged. Mine are pretty basic - I am in awe of those already posted - what talent!

OHJulie

 

[castlegazer]

OHJulie, mine was done in Powerpoint too. I did it prior to having my vast knowledge and skills in digital scrapbooking Anyways, I did it prior to having my new programs to do digital pages like PhotoShop. I saved it as a jpeg onto my hard drive and that is how I got it up there.

Tom, what a cool video! I have seen videos of it prior to now, but that one is really good. It doesn't show how bad it is when they take off, thought, like cadburysmom described. She is such a ticket!

BrotherlyLoveJen - I am such a total dope.

I completely thought it was next week you were going to FL! I love going to the beach right when you wake up - how awesome! I am so jealous!

I gotta run over to the Yahoo site - after all my yapping about it last night I haven't had a chance to get there this morning.

Jewelgrrl - It didn't even occur to me that you may live close to the Tornado damage. I am sooo glad it didn't hit your house and you both are safe. I am sorry for transferring my dopiness not only onto Jennifer but also onto you and completely spacing on where the Tornadoes touched down at. I have friends in Tennessee and they lost their home and others didn't even notice a thing, but all are safe.

Barb - you and I will just hang out together and light up the night!!! I am sooooo pale. I also will have the same shoes on for the entire cruise and I tend to stick to one outfit for sea days so once you see me you will always be able to pick me out of a crowd - and maybe smell me coming Just kidding for anyone who can't hear my giggles coming out of the computer - but I am pale and I am trying very hard to have three pairs of shoes along and that is IT!

Suzie -

Sorry for my outburst!

Here is some breakfast in bed - cause I know you're still there - to make up for it.
