Howdy. Posting from work. My DD is flying up to NYC tonight . Stop over in Dulles for an hour, and is staying at the Milenium (sp)Broadway hotel. The arrangement was made by a friend. Emergency trip. Will explain at a later time.
Does anyone know if it is a decent hotel????? Haven't been in NYC since 87.

So...you're either a lawyer or Willie Wonka.


"I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera...”Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera...”Memo bis punitor delicatum!"

I needed a drink warning for that!! Oh wait, I'm not supposed to admit to drinking and DISing at the same time, it's very un-Disney and might adversely affect my children.
Oops...too late.


uhhh, Diane...we're all gonna be in the exact same boat.

I'm so looking forward to watching the allshookups eat with their toes.

LOL - that is why I've taken to calling him man-child - he does at me and tells me - that's not funny!

The girls and I have taken to breaking into the man-cub song - he doesn't realize where its from.

Is he coming on the cruise? I may not be able to stop myself....
I wanna be like you-ou-ou...wanna walk like you, talk like you.....

Liz....I really like the Calvin Klein dress. With your dark hair and skin tone, you would look beautiful in it. It sounds like your dd wants you to wear something VERY special. That's a good thing!

$318.00!!!

Well, I paid an arm and a leg for our flights for the cruise . It's pricey getting off this little island, we call home these days. The price has gone up $100 each in the past week, so I bit the bullet and paid before it went any higher.

We get into LA on the Thursday, should be in DL by 2. We don't leave Orlando until 6:30 though. Anyone else hanging around the airport or have other plans for disembark day?

 

[justmestace]

Okay...Opinions please.

I had a doctor appointment this morning. A 45 minute drive from my house.
I got there, and they had no record whatsoever of my appointment. We made the appt at our last visit. It was a follow up after a procedure.

They said I could wait and get "squeezed in"...but I had another appointment with our attorney back up here and only had 2 hours total, including travel time, so I told them I'd reschedule.

I got home and found the card they gave me with my appt on it. I had the correct date and time. But apparently, when they made the appointment that day, it never got entered into the computer system.

Now here's my question....should I let it go, or call and tell them?
Not like they'll do anything. But it irks me that if I missed an appt with the doctor, they'd charge me. Now I'm out the time and gas it took to drive all the way down there.

Okay everyone, I'm asking for you all to send some pixie dust my way today - I have a job interview at 2 and I am really hoping that it works out. Let's just say that after the talk with my doctor yesterday, I really need to change my stress level. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! The interview went well and I did tell them that I had to have the last two weeks of August off - no negotiation on that front. The person I interviewed wtih has several more this week and then goes on vacation to Florida next week so it will be at least a week and a half before I hear anything from them. In the meantime, I will keep on looking and taking the wonderful happy pills the doctor gave me.

Good Luck

Oh I would call and let them have it They owe you one, big time They would charge you a lot of money if you made the same mistake-maybe this will earn you some credit in case you miss an appointment in the future

Well, I don't ever need a hotel, so I don't have personal experience with this, but I looked at their website and it looks fine, right down the street from Phantom on W. 44th, very close to my favorite pizza place, John's Pizzeria. Hope all is well! Here's the site:

Thanks for all your thoughts today. I am glad that I got to stay in contact with Adam throughout the day. I am sorry that I didn't check in--it was just not a good day. I knew when it was on CNN at the store that most would know it was OK.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Metro Police have made an arrest in Wednesday morning's Fern Creek Traditional High School gun incident. The incident led to a four-hour lockdown at two schools, affecting nearly 2,000 students.

Police said their 17-year-old suspect is not a Fern Creek student. Detectives spent much of Wednesday questioning the suspect's parents.

Police said the teen was stopped with two other teens in a stolen car on Russell Boulevard around 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Meanwhile, other parents have a lot of questions for the school district.

Louisville Metro Police surrounded the school building around 8 a.m. Wednesday. Shortly thereafter, concerned parents surrounded police.

Parent James Brown, like many others, spent the morning trying to reach loved ones inside the school.

“What are you doing? Are you laid down? Are the doors locked?” he asked.

“My daughter texted me and said they heard gunshots,” said parent Michelle Corbett.

Some parents paused for prayer inside Fern Creek Baptist Church, which served as a staging area and was where they learned the threat was real.
We do believe we definitely know there was a young man in the school with a gun,” Metro Police Chief Robert White told the parents. “No shots have been fired, no one's been injured.”

Metro Police said they believe the suspect was a student at Beuchel Metropolitan School who had a fight with a Fern Creek Student.

For nearly four hours officers searched and researched the high school and neighboring elementary school.

Shortly before parents were allowed to pick up their children, they were firing questions at JCPS officials about how a non-student entered the school.

“It was before school started. We have kids entering our building right at 7:30,” said Fern Creek Principal Houston Barber. “This individual may have come in with a group of students.”

“We can't make our schools prisons and work within this realm to make everyone else safe,” said Maurice Risner, head of Jefferson County Public Schools student safety.

Many students said they were just glad to be with family. Some felt they were much safer than their parents thought they were.

“We just heard that there was a gun and they just said there were no shots fired,” said sophomore Paige Webb. “So we weren't really concerned about it.”

Barber said things are safe, and school will operate as normal Thursday.

Metro Police said they will have officers in the area until the suspect is located.

I was talking to one of our undercover police officers this morning and a customer overheard and joined in the conversation and said he had just gotten a text from his neice claimimg that she was under the desk and shots were fired---I told him that could not be true, for one I am sure my cell would be going off and that this police officer's radio would be going off too. He left. I told the officer he should have locked him up for being stupid.

I definitely need more opinions. Half of me agrees with each of you!!!

 

[arlenesp]

Stace the same thing happened with our eye appointments. They lost both of our slots and made DH wait.I had filled out my paperwork as well while waiting and confirmed my appt for the next week. Got the phone call to verify etc. Surprise. No record of my appt. The girl was less than helpful. I even asked to have her look the name up spelled differently but she wouldn't budge. Guess what??? She squeezed me in ,(doing me a favor ) and lo and behold the files turned up. They were misfiled as I suggested. She knew we were less than happy and I did tell the Dr.

I had the impression from the other article posted that it was a false alarm! Holy cow...I would have been in a panic all day if I were you!!

I am soooo glad that everyone is okay.

I think it is very nice Arlene. Never stayed there, but have seen it. Safe travels for your DD.

Me too! They pulled officers off every district and sent them to the school today. NONE of the officers that come in to work told me until they had made an arrest that it was a real threat for them and that was after I knew that the school had been cleared.
My son--otherwise known as Mr. Information sends me a text that says---We can move around now

 

[LITTLEKID58]

Txs everyone

I will let you know the outcome..but it looks like I may end up buying two dresses.. the Macy's one (yeah the most expensive ).. and a cocktail dress.

The gown I know will not go to waste with all the cruises we take..

I need to pick up a cocktail dress anyway for a wedding next month.. and yea I will wear it twice and will not tell my DD...

 

[dahuffy]

OK gave the girls some air time - here's a picture of my Stinky DS - we tease him by saying this is the "only blonde" that will love him at his worst!

He's all scruffy because I "told" him that he needed to shave and that he'd never connect his beard to his sideburns - which he's desperately trying to show up dad.

That's okay,Kevin's almost 50 and his sideburns don't touch his beard yet either!

Thanks Julie. I was hoping you would reply. My SIL passed away last night and she is the only one able to go. My DH has an appt with his Dr tomorrow and is too upset to make the trip as this hits home pretty hard .Not only that but he would be a mess to boot.
