Thanks.
It's not really swollen. It's drooping. That's why they wanted to make sure it wasn't neurologic (mini stroke or something else ) It could be a number of things, so I'm in a wait & see mode.

I sure hope everything is okay.
I "sorta" know what you're feeling like though- I had a bout of bell's palsy last year.. which thankfully eventually went away!

OK Can i tell you why that would suck.....?

1) the tween programming was very basic and not really structured and dd didn't even like it much at 13. So now to have packs of 13-14 yo with nothing to do doesn't sound like a good plan at all. My dd (if she did go) would only be just turned 15 but many of the kids she does know would still be 14 and couldn't go.

Again it would be just a bad idea.............. Maybe this is another reason why she should stay at home. The last thing i want for my vacation is a moody teenager with nothing to do....



BIP weren't you staying at Hojo's also? We come in on Thursday but if you need help at the parks, there's a good chance i could help you out. (since i'll probably have no kid of my own)



From what i heard from my dd. It was the younger teens who participated more in the stack. Why not get rid of the older teens instead? And no there was no seperate lab group for 14 last we sailed. I myself found that tween place lacking (they only were open a couple hours in the evening and nothing at other times with not many activities and more towards 10-12 yo than anything else. (and you know how big a maturity difference there is between a 10yo and a 14yo - Think puberty,height etc....)


Glad to here MRI looked ok. Have they ruled out any kind of palsy. My DGF has a reoccurring eye thing that i think is a Bell's Palsy. (or at least that's the term he used)

Surely they are not going to have structured things to do for every age group but 13-14yr olds! I think they have to be smart enough to also know that not only would that be unfair to the 13-14yr olds but also that it's not a good idea to have kids that age bored with nothing to do!
I'm sure all kids are different- and yes I agree there is a big difference between kids age 10 and 14 (I just happen to have a 10yr old and a 14yr old btw LOL) BUT I'd rather my 10 and 14yr old together than a 14yr old and 18yr old. The kind of trouble they might get into, the things the younger of the two would learn, etc. is a world difference when it's a 10yr old and 14yr old- than if it was a 14yr old and an 18yr old. I don't even want to think about the latter and what a mess that could end up being....
personally I think they should have more for the younger (13/14) to do than the older (16-18) because that age they aren't going to want to do most stuff anyway and old enough to just hang out and entertain themselves. Probably not as involved in structured activities- and I've read a lot of people saying that's exactly the case- that the younger teens end up doing most of the activities. And I think they should perhaps group together 11-14yr olds or something. yanno? My younger kids won't die if they don't get to do ocean quest during short periods of time like they could last time-- they could make OQ for the 11-14yr olds.. whatcha think? good idea?

I'm not sure what you're saying- are you saying it's a bad idea to seperate the 13/14yr olds from the older kids some even age 18? *confused*


Hey if you bring your kid... my oldest would be happier. so bring the kid. HAHAHA
Yeah, that would be great to have some adult interaction during our trip- yes I"m staying at Hojo's- probably won't need any help though... my kids will be age 8, 10 and 14 by the time of the trip. Kids are growing up fast! Last time I went alone to WDW they were 5, 7, and barely turned 12.. or maybe she was 11 and they were 6 and 4. I can't remember exactly. let me think.... LOL anyway they were younger and I managed even with the youngest not wanting to walk and whining about being so hot in June. LOL But the company would be nice!

I loved wearing lanyards with my Dis and real name on it!! Thanks Chrissie!!! We all met above Scoops and the nametags were handed out before the cruise!!

I hope you are drawing me that picture.

Congrats on the passports!!!

I am hoping to mail some tags out,give out while at DL,some while waiting to board our ship etc....I am working on a design when I can....I want it to be fun!

(I am working on that painting for you! It has my 2 favs..drawing and Mickey so I want it to be perfec!)

Hey, forgot to tell everyone. DS had his final check up with the neurosurgeon this week. He is all healed. No more fracture, no more air on the brain (....that's debatable ) and he's cleared for sports. No football until the summer, but he can play baseball now.

They showed us the CT scans from 4 days after the accident, 1 month after and then 3 months after. No sign of any more trauma in the area.

Glad that you are getting good news!

Your entire post was good info- but this one is most important to me.
If the 14yr olds are not allowed in stack- where do they go? do they have a class in lab now? if so......... I will be so happy. I really did not want my 14yr old in with the older kids. I have panic attacks even thinking about her being allowed to come/go as she pleases alone- but REALLY did not like the idea of her hanging out with 16/17yr olds. which she so would... I just know it. LOL
Oh please tell me this rumor is true..

As far as I know, 14 year olds still go to the stack, but they can also go to Oceaneer's Quest. We're hoping our 13 yr old DS will spend most of his time with his younger brother and/or Oceaneer's Quest on the 2nd floor. We're going to sign him up for the stack and let him go the first night, but we don't want him (nor do I think he will want to) hanging out with older teens. It seems that there will be a lot of 13 year olds on the cruise, so hopefully, he'll make some friends with those closer to his age.

WARNING!​

Ooo...

I just got this in the email today... it looks like SPAM PISH... intended to trick me into revealing my personal information and Discover card info. Only I don't have a Discover card. So - just as a WARNING to neighbors here - below is quoted the email and the REPLY EMAIL Address - to AVOID. I wonder how many other folks got this email - if any - here?



SUSPECTED BAD email address = Reply-to: discovercard.W0TH053B7E23733FE5 9653562FBD70@email.discovercard.com

Clearly this web address to reply to is NOT a normal corporate web site. DO NOT reply to this - and perhaps it is not wise to even CLICK on it as your ISP would be revealed or the site might try to install a patch or one of those secret data harvesting programs. But I posted it with a GAP in the middle to disable the automatic link.

For Chase it is abuse@chase.com

I was thinking the same thing as Bip!!! Could it be a case of Bell's Palsy??? Easy enough to go away with steroid treatment.

 

[micmse2003]

What Tom - are you reading my mind - I was going to send out a HUGE notice this evening in BIG RED LETTERS shouting SECRET MICKEY! Your scary!

He is scary!!!

Read this last month in Al Lutz's article. Don't know if Coca Cola makes ice cream . The big thing for us is that Carnation is owned by Nestle and they are talking about renaming a couple of the restaurants that are named Carnation at DL. Also McDonald's looks like it will be ending its relationship with Disney as well. I know CA has a modified McD's and a couple of FF stands in DL but not sure if there is any at WDW.

I'm too far behind to see if this was answered but McD has 1 in AK , 1 freestanding on grounds and in DTD.

Get Cadburys to make Mickey bars!!!

Starbucks can do the coffee.

http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/brands/brandlist.html

Coke owns 400 brands in 200 countries, including Eight O'Clock Coffee, which IMHO is pretty carpy coffee, but better than Nescafe.

I'm up to my eyeballs in a Dasani sponsorship proposal right now...

Eight o clock used to be the A&P coffee in the northeast. It isn't that bad. I for one hate Starbucks. It always tastes burnt. Even their decaf givesd me a reaction. JMO

Quick update before I ketchup Brain scan normal !!! yea !!
So maybe I'm just turning into a real pirate... eye patch for my bum eye

DH sees his Neuro today and he will have another scan next month. What a pain in the add.
