Happy Birthday Laura, from Cheryl and John. Cheryl asked me to tell you because she is laying out in the yard today soaking in the sun, while I'm here at work. She'll post a cake later.

My DS read it last night. He is sworn to secrecy so that the others who want to read can read it with out him ruining it.

He said it was good. I haven't read any of them. So Mark is going to get me the CD's so I can catch up while I walk.

But I want to tell people about all the deaths, mayhem, destruction.....

DVC is 11 months from checkout date.

So mid-sept....

So for the calendar challenged.... September 17, 2007?

My mother quit for a couple of years and she said that she would have dreams about going out and buying cigarettes....

I can really relate to that! I have dreams all the time that I'm lighting one right after the other...pretty much like I used to. And I always wake up like "What the hell are thinking?"

I'm sitting here waiting for our family doc's office to open at 9am. I've been up and down all night, that's why I posted around 3am this morning. I think I either pulled or strained a muscle on the right side of my chest as I was moving heavy furniture the other day for Hazel. I've tried everything I could think of to relieve the pain, but nothing has helped. At 3am this morning my chest felt as though it was on fire so I put an ice pack on it and was able to fall back to sleep until 6am.

I called out of work today, with the extra help that I received over the past few weeks, the water meter readings are actually ahead of schedule(for a change).

If anyone has any extra I'd appreciate some of it sent my way.

Ouchy Andy you gotta be more careful, you're not 20 yrs old ya know. And besides, you have nothing to prove to Hazel, she already knows you're a Macho Man ::cop:

I read the books but usually months after they come out once I can finally snag a copy from the library. I've got a few friends who got it at midnight and have already finished. Maybe I'll borrow their copy.

Hi Tina! Glad you had a GREAT birthday!!





Jared and I are flying Southwest tomorrow to Omaha. I don't like the "no seat assignment" thing, but have to admit, they do make the flight entertaining.
When we flew to Vegas last month, one flight attendant had us in stitches the whole time.

Thanks! It was a chance to recharge before school starts! I thought that the seating would really bother me, but I managed to get A boarding passes coming and going, so it worked out. It's just nice that there is an airline out there that isn't having a labor dispute and the employees seem happy!

 

[dahuffy]

Roger....did you transfer your ressie to a TA? I looked on DCL site, and my balance doesn't even show up. Looked on DU site, and my balance is the same as it was, no increase.

Not that this is fair at all, but is it possible they cannot charge the increase if a TA has the ressie?

Only reason I ask is that someone stated earlier that DCL said if balance is not paid in full, they will charge the increase.

Either way....this HOOTS!

I'm with DU also and there's nothing added to ours ...yet.

 

[goofyforlife]

My TA just called Disney and confirmed that prices increases did go into effect for everyone....

(Except those paid off; blah, blah, blah, something about paids having contract obligational yada yada... Still not fair )

Like i said.... minimal costs around... No photos, no drinks that i don't bring on-board myself. (They better not even think of banning my cases of water.) No Spa.

Hey Guys,

I just arrived home from seeing the doc and stopping at CVS after having two prescriptions filled. What I thought was pain from a sore muscle, turned out to be a case of Shingles. As soon as the doc saw a rash on my back, he knew exactly what I had. He said the Shingles is what was causing the burning sensation I was feeling. WOW, lucky me!!!

The doc said stress could bring on the Shingles, and I told the doc I have been under a great deal of stress with work, see I knew this job was getting the better of me...........

Oh well, I already had Thursday and Friday scheduled off as vacation days, so I will go back to work for Tuesday and Wednesday, a very short two day work week for me..........

Thanks for the everyone!!!

Oh, Andy I know my mom and FIL can fell for ya. Their's both went undiagnosed for a long time and I know that they both really hurt. We had a quack country doctor tell mom that she didn't have shingles because there was no rash. She "self doctored" for a couple of months. Finally saw a dermatologist who confirmed that yes it was shingles and if she had caught it sooner, it wouldn't have been so far advanced and she wouldn't have been in such pain. Her's hit her back and arms.

 

[dahuffy]

Pirates response: Yeah Congrats

DCL Response: That'll be another $100 please

No wait that's $600 for your immed. family.


BTW all....I e-mailed my TA to see if she knows anything....

Mine at DU hasn't heard anything yet.

 

[dahuffy]

Two of my daughters and I were at a Midnight Madness party Friday night here in NYC . . . got ours a little after midnight . . . by Saturday breakfast time I was finished . . . I thought it was wonderful.

I found it to be surprising (not how I expected to get there), but a great ending to the series

Also, remember she knew what the last three words were when she started writing.

I did some research about Shingles after I returned home from the doc this morning. I did read where it stated that a rash does not always show up. I don't know how they could have gone on for so long, this pain is ungodly at times. I took my meds about 10:30am and the Lyrica knocked me out for a couple of hours, but when I woke up, my chest felt as though it was on fire again, this is no fun, whatsoever..............
