Well I have found the suitcases

Then you're doing better than me, I'm still waiting for one to be delivered. I pulled them out last weekend and realized that a seam had split on on the wheeled duffle. I ordered a new one from Eddie Bauer and I'm keeping my fx that it will be delivered tomorrow. We aren't leaving until Saturday morning though, so I have some frantic evenings after work this week to get the packing done.

And DS's fever from Friday is gone, but has turned into a full-blown cold instead. I'm soooo glad that this is happening this week and not next week. Although I have this sinking feeling that he'll be fine next Sunday while I'll be boarding the ship with a whopper of a cold.

Somehow - I totally see that in my brain. I don't mess with dogs anymore. Isis has bitten 2 little dogs but they came charging at her and mine were on the leash - their's weren't. The second one I told the girl to pick her dog up or Isis would lounge at her - she didn't, mine did and the dog still came back for more. I think its a size issue.

Other than that - she (Isis) totally leaves other dogs alone. On walks she's got other things to smell.


As for dogs, my son Andrew was mauled by a German Shepard at age of 9. Got quite a few hundred stitches and quite a nice settlement out of it. Now if I can only get him to understand that settlements don't last forever.




Well, that was crystal clear!

(show-off)




Oh Poor June - please tell her to stay off the bike - we want her on here! Stay well June! and some wont hurt either.

OMG Laura, I was bitten by a German Shepard when I was 7 years old. He took half my lip and I had to have very painful reconstructive surgery for many years as a child. It really stunk growing up because kids can be very cruel and I was called "scarface" for many years of my life. It was very tough. I am now 48 and still have the scar on my face. It has always been hard for me to talk about it and most people I know, I don't tell that to until I know them very well or if they ask (and most people don't). I hope your son Andrew was okay from it. I can understand what he went through.

I am also very wary around dogs. It is kind of ironic that our beloved dog, Chivas who we put to sleep last September, and was our first dog as a family, was a German Shepard mix. She was the kindest, most loving dog in the world.

There is no way I will catch up with the last 2 threads. I've only read a small portion of each.
Although, I am caught up with this thread. For how long, I have no idea. Still have a lot to do. I took DS out school (clothes) shopping yesterday, why is it when some boys become ST, they are almost as bad as some girls are in what type of clothes they get? Still have more shopping to do for school. I did happen to buy him another pair of dress pants and a couple of dress shirts. DH went and bought a suit finally, he's always had some dress pants and shirts but never a jacket (except for fire co uniform). I need to get the suitcases out and start to pack away the things we don't need yet. I am the one who does all of the packing as I can not trust what DS will bring. and DH always seems to forget something.
I also have things set up for MIL while we are gone. I just need to get things set up for work while we are away.

Prayers and to all that need it
to all that arranged things we will be doing
and Happy Anniversary to all I've missed over the last few threads.
to all newcomers.
1 more week for the TOAL
Okay, I need to go now. Bye, will see everyone in a week.

If there is anyone who doesn't have trip insurance, please get it.

My step mother and her daughter called yesterday morning to tell us my father died. I asked when they were planning to have the funeral and they said Friday. I got a call later saying the family has decided to have the funeral on SUNDAY instead.

So I had to cancel. I'll get a refund. DCL refunded half yesterday and I have to turn in calm forms to the insurance company for the balance.

Since I didn't book airfare with DCL, I may be out of that expense.

Is there anyone here who hasn't purchased DL park passes yet? I have two of the three day Southern California passes. If someone needs them, they are yours (no charge). They expire on the 30. If I don't give them way, they will be wasted.

If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll overnight them before we head to South Carolina on Tuesday.

If no one here needs them, I'll try to give them away on DL board when I return.

Sorry to be a downer in the mist of all the excitement.


Enjoy your TOAL and please take/post plenty of pictures.

Love ya Tanya

I'm so sorry for your loss. We'll miss you.

What do you guys think of this? It's one of the door signs that I made....

 

[KSDisneyDad]

Christopher,
We plan to go for a bike ride on Castaway Cay. June (and anyone else) is welcome to join us
No suburbans, no streams, no dogs--just a flat path..should be safe
I think Roger and family was considering this also.
Should be fun

That sounds like fun. I had already thought of having the entire family do a bike ride at Castaway Cay. We've not done this before and I would like to see the observation tower and the rest of the island.

Tanya,
I am so so sorry to hear of your loss, and that you won't be joining us. I am crying right now for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Full fledged panic mode seems to have set in. I'm sleeping even less then usual - yesterday I was up at 5:15, today I was up at 6:30 then for good at 7:45 - I normally sleep until at least 9 on Sundays!

Today I'll be reworking the packing that I already did plus finishing the rest of it. Printing the last of the magnets, getting together all the toiletries and various med's purchased and packed, books together and packed, carry-on for me packed (except for the laptop!) and DS's backpack packed up. DH got all the camera stuff packed up on Thursday - one whole carry-on size suitcase with cameras, video cameras, DVD's to burn pictures to, power strip and lord only knows what all else!

THis will be the 2nd time I'm repacking these suitcases, which is probably a good thing as I keep deciding to not take stuff because I just know that I won't wear it. I had a packing list all laid out and yet I haven't followed it for myself at all!

Tea is done and anisette toast is finished - best get my rear in gear. Have a great day all!

In front of me is four large empty suitcase's, I was hoping if I look at them long enough, and think of the cruise, they will fill themselves of the clothes I wish to take, but the Suitcase Fairy seems to be on strike.

So sorry to hear about this. I went through this three years ago with my dad. He was only 55 and had brain cancer. It was and still is terribly painful. I will pray for peace for you. Take care.

Prayers for you and your family!

OK so I walked the furr kids and on the way back, Isis the diva, goes to smell something in the grass. Just about freaks - literally jumps 3 ft in the air - and turns in mid-air and runs back - her tail goes completely between her back legs and she starts shaking. It was the freakiest thing. I'm not sure what she smelled but it definitely freaked her out. She about yanked my shoulder out of the socket. It scared me because she was shaking and breathing hard like she just ran a marathon.

Not sure what she smelled as I could not get her to go back. In fact, I had to cross the street and she was about crying to have Chloe come over. Steve took Chloe over to see if she smelled anything and that dog lived up to her reputation - all looks and no brain. She was normal. Remember, Isis was the dog throwing herself at the ground the whole day before the earthquake. I call her my sensitive one. It took about 3 blocks before she was able to walk "normally" and her tail to come out from between her legs. This is what freaked me out the most. This dog's tail is ALWAYS out on walks. But this freaked me. Anyone have any ideas. She's normal now - laying down - she walked for 55 minutes. But I am definitely going to have to watch her tonight to see if she has nightmares. Her poor chest was heaving like someone had beat her and her eyes got that wild look to them - whatever she smelled scared the living daylights out of her.

It would be funny if I hadn't had my left shoulder almost yanked out of me. Of course, had that happened, I would have laughed my behind off.

Better you than him right? I am always (well almost always) glad when I am the one sick and not my kids because they make you feel like you are sick also even when you are not.

Take care and rest.

Oh, my . . . these door magnets are rather easy to create, aren't they?

God help me. I'm going to have to make a few.

I also found out how to do names and made one for my door as well.

 

[Joy2theWorld]

Tanya,
I am sorry for your loss.

Crash,
Thank you for the very detailed post!! I am considering going to a mac computer in the not so distant future and I am not sure if I could edit movies and such as easily with the little dvds. However, for some reason I feel more secure with that kind of media. Hard drives and sd cards can crash or get erased easily, right? The way I make decisions, I am not sure I can make this one by Friday...

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

You will be missed on the cruise. But know that you will be remembered by lots of us in our thougts and prayers as well.

I also wanted to send you a PM but it was refused because your mail box is full.

If I may be a bit personal, so that I can remember him in my prayers and Masses, would you PM me and let me know his name. Also, where his funeral/burial will be? Sorry, again, for your loss.

Many hugs all around to your family... (it's been a rough year for you guys)

LT your pm box is full....

I could really use the passes though if still available....
