Yes, we must maintain our British presence here on the DIS at all times...Like the changing of the guards...

Hello, David!

I don't know what they look like, but I am picturing Andrew and David DISing while wearing big fuzzy hats.

See, I'm not always a downer...

...Oh, man..the picture I'm getting in my head...For some reason I'm seeing two men, in the big fuzzy hats, and nothing else on but boxer shorts...

 

[sk8ingmom]

Thank you everyone for the cyber hugs, the prayers and the support.

You don't know how much you are helping.

What no rugby shirts in the picture?

 

[ChrizJen]

OK, time to head home and figure out dinner for one.
Jen's out of town until Friday night with work helping to set up a physical therapy unit at a nursing home somewhere in Iowa...
Hmmm...at least I know she's not having more fun that I am right now!

 

[ChrizJen]

What no rugby shirts in the picture?

Hmmm...there weren't, but there are now...

 

[ChrizJen]

I'll be back on in a little while...

Eddie.............Beaver...............Wally​

Thanks for making me feel really old!

I promise I won't be such a downer all the time....

Stop!!!! Please let it all out here as much as you need. Its good therapy to let it out. If you don't, it will only build up and make you miserable. Too many people post 9/11 didn't get it out and are now on disability retirements and extensive therapy.

I think 50,000 posts back and forth over a period of less than two months, plus a few "all-night" (or close thereto) chat session equals a group of friends who are here for each other.

Be as much of a downer as you need (although no one else is complaining you are a downer).

Let us be your strength when you need it.

I did get a call from the Dr. office today about the scheduling of the next test for DD. What is it about those guys that makes you want to just scream? Sorry to any medical professionals here. I'm sure you guys are so much more helpful. They called to tell me that they can get DD in for the next test on May 29th!!! Two whole months from now.

The lady says, " I am sure you aren't going to be happy with this" Darn right, I am not happy, I am furious!!!!
She said she would talk to the doctor and see if she can get me a better date. I was think, why didn't you do that before you even called me.

Then I asked "so if this is the date we stay with and it ends up she needs surgery when do you think it would happen, Early summer?" "oh no, she says probably the end of the summer at the earliest" Am I suppose to be okay with that?
DD has lost a year of her sports life as it is now. How do we tell her "guess what honey? looks like another year with out basketball and track and dance?"
Very frustrated here in Michigan. At least the sun is shining and it is warm.

This must be very frustrating and I hear others with the same problem sometimes.

When I had my Total Hip Replacement my experience was very different. I had just returned on a Tuesday from WDW in a lot of pain from the walking. He saw me on Thursday in his office. I told him that I was ready for the surgery. On Monday at noon I was being wheeled in to the OR for the hip replacement.

I really hope things work out for your DD ..... sooner than later.

Now does that mean the rugby game advertised on page 1 of this thread is actually naked rugby?

Hi all! I just booked our airfare for our Aug. vacation. We are flying Jetblue into MCO & staying at the Radisson the night before our 3-day RCCL cruise & then heading to BWV's for almost 2 weeks. What really gets me is that we are paying $1600 for 2 OV staterooms on Sovereign of the Seas & we are paying $1100 to fly roundtrip on Jetblue. On RCCL we get transportation to the Bahamas, all the food we can eat, 4 beds, 2 TV's, 2 private bathrooms, & entertainment. What do we get on Jetblue? Transportation to Florida, no legroom, use of a teeny tiny public bathroom, a TV for each of us that may or may not work, 1 small cup of soda & a package of cookies, Doritos, peanuts, or blue potato chips! Where's the justice?

Diane, i haven't been lucky enough the last few vacations. I have paid dearly for airfare. I am to "spoiled" to drive. But it does get tempting.

I promise I won't be such a downer all the time....

I decided this morning that I am flying to RI for the funeral of the Coastie who died. I need to be there. It's only money. A lot of it, but it's only money.

I spoke to DH "Steve" for the first time this morning since it happened. I've had several conversations with "LCDR Sk8ingdad", the officer, not the man, during the last few days, but today is the first time I've talked to the man.
I need to go to be there with him. He is working so hard to make sure everything and everyone else is taken care of. He is responsible for the well-being of 76 people and one of them is not coming home. Non-military won't get this, but in a way, I represent all of the wives. I've never been one of those wives who try to wear my husband's rank on my own sleeve, I actually avoid it at all costs because it drives me nuts, but this time I need to be there for all the people who can't.

And oh yeah, I having a hour-long press event Tuesday morning with all our local mayors, state legislators and one of AK's senators...no stress at work. It's a great time to take a day or 2 off.

What are they going to do, fire me?

Thanks for listening (reading).
