Morning! g

Trying to catch up. Seems like the pending got everyone a little chatty last night.

OK Here it is ! My 1000th POST

You go girl!!! Congrats!!!

I hope everyone had a great day! I did! Got "weighed in" today and I am down a total of 32 and 1/2 pounds!!!! I am so excited! Hasn't been easy...but YIPPIE!!!
Just wanted to share!
Chrissie

Way to go Chrissie!!! Keep up the good work!

The first one for the ankle swelling. When I woke up today not only was my right ankle swollen but so was my right eye! Dr. is not too alarmed but needs to find out why I'm retaining fluid like this. The three big things to rule out are: Kidney problems, Congestive Heart Failure, and some Leg Vein problem. She took blood today, told me to go to Fl., watch my salt intake, drink a lot of water and we'll go further when I get back.

The other appt. was for my rosacea treatment. It REALLY hurt this time and now I look like a tomato!

Boy do I need this vacation!

MR - You poor thing! Here's some ixiedust: that it all turns out okay. Hope you have a fantastic vacation!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
PETE
SAMMY
TODD ​

Tina, apparently your DS wasn't involved in helping you all go through things. If that is the case they also do not have the right to complain about how it was done. She probably wouldn't have found it to amusing to have had the full dumpster delivered to her. (sorry I do have a mean side)
So sorry you are dealing with this. I know it is not something any of us look forward to.

Never thought about sending her the dumpster! DB and I know how she is, so nothing will please her.

Observations from an airport:

"MSP Airport Conference Center

* Conference Rooms for 1 to 100"

YOU CAN'T HAVE A CONFERENCE IF YOU ARE BY YOURSELF!!!

A conference room for 1 might be a thoughtful spot, but it is not a conference room.


Sorry...I write for a living, thing like this bug me all the time!
I bet Ninja Mary gets it.

Greetings from Minneapolis

We sat on the runway in Anchorage for an hour last night, so I missed my connections (yes plural). I'm bouncing to RI. Anchorage, Minneapolis, Detroit, Providence. Now I won't hit RI until 3:25. The wake starts at 4.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I CAN'T FIND THE CINNABON!

So if anyone wantneeds a neck pillow, a Paul Bunyan postcard, Golden Gopher grear, a MN lotto ticket or an iPod from a vending machine, just let me know sometime in the next few hours - K?

Sounds like the Minneapolis airport has everything. Are you flying NWA? The NWA terminal in Detroit is really neat. You should be able to find a Cinnabon there. My thoughts are with you and your DH.

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

Yes, we are having nutmeg soup, nutmeg chicken and nutmeg pie. You have to load up so that it kicks in by the weekend.

I have a really nice recipe for nutmeg cookies if your interested - to add to your repertoire!

Maybe the conference room for 1 is for those executives who are addicted to meetings! If they can't meet with others, they meet with themselves!

 

[DindelsPA]

Do we get bonus pirates for 50,000????

Hmmm....good question....NOPE.

Overall a pretty good day. I didn't feel like I was stressing about the job, but now that I have the good news, I feel like a weight has been lifted. And, I got a info packet from DCL for my Med cruise, which thanks to the job situation working out, I still get to go. And got asked out for a date for this weekend. (good thing it wasn't for Friday so I won't miss chat ) Yep, pretty good day today. Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket too?

Glad to hear you were surrounded by ixiedust: today! Hope it continues for you!

I'm 1.2 pounds away from the 30 mark. I would like to hit that before vacation but I have been pretty much plateaued for 3 months so I am not sure if it will happen. Congrats on your milestone.

Laura - WAY TO GO!!!

Thanks Tina.

Yup, NWA. Not impressed with the customer service.
I'll have an hour to kill in Detroit once I get there.

Get your order in early for Red Wings gear, auto parts, Mackinac Fudge & MI lotto tickets...

Observations from an airport:

When did Faux News Channel get its own store?

I walked by really fast out of fear my head would explode.



Or that I might be trampled by elephants.

and hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly!!!

I would bet that the facility that listed it as 2-100 would get more second looks at their brochure too....

Morning! g

Starting to notice a pattern?

Good Morning everyone! TGIF!

To those of you who are bouncing off the walls waiting to get on the road to your vacations, it will soon be time!

Now to ketchup.

And those of us stuck home for the next week will just sit here quietly jealous....

There's also tele-conference!

a little more "ketching" up:

Monica - great news on the job - it sure does make a difference when people notice and value your hard work and dedication!

Roger - congrats on the !!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICIA!!! ​

for the "DIScussion" last night!!!!!!

Maybe we should put together the list of good airlines and airports so when we all start making plans in Sept. (unless you have Disney Air, then you can just read and see how bad it might be....)...

I can help you out today. What state do you want MN, MI, RI?

Hi Lisa, My name is Mary and my family often stares at me in DISbelief as I completely ignore them while absorbed in my DISworld. Does that make me a DISaholic? Apparently they are under the mistaken impression that I spend a DISproportionate amount of time here. I don't know what they are talking about? (Is that DIS denial?)

Are you still required to spend an equal amount of time on other extracurricular activities??

MY FACE HURTS


Reminds me of that old joke:
Does you face hurt?
No, why?
Cause it's killing me!

I crack me up

You're too funny. I hope your face feels better soon.

Night Lorri!! I'll miss chat tomorrow night. I won't be there, so I am square. I won't be there next week either so I'll be squared!

Miss one more week and you'll be MRcubed.

 

[sk8ingmom]

OH bonus for my tavels plans being delayed 5 hours (so far).

Let's see how well you have all gotten to know me during the last 2 months.

Which will I choose:

250 airline miles
Free in-flight beverage (cocktail, beer, wine)

hmmmm... decisions, decisions....

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Happy Birthday Patricia

 

[sk8ingmom]

DIS has been the most DISpicible, DISingenuous and DIStasteful DISplay of DIScourse to DISgrace DIS DISboard. I am DIStinctly DISappointed and DISoriented at the DISrespect and DISparagement DIStributed DISproportionately over DISjointed messages on DIS page. Please stop DISrespecting and DISabling the DIScussion with DIS DISertation that you have DIShonestly DISeased DIS DISboard with.

DISpicible....

Favorite Pirates of the Caribbean Character from the RIDE: I guess the village wenches...It's been five years since I've ridden (the POC ride that is).

so glad you clarified that
