A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

[Luvchefmic]

The Re-Meet Myself and PrincessinOz (affectionately nicknamed PIO) after 3 years together again ! Amazing how someone from Australia can meet someone from NY ( transplanted to FL) on the games boards section of the Disboards and become friends, true friends, then meet " outside of the box" in 3-D as she says meet in 2010 and FINALLY see each other again ...the time is going too fast but what a joy in my life

Love the DIS meet photos (I'm wearing a Tinker Bell shirt very similar to that...but it doesn't say New York on it).

 

[Deesknee]

Love all your photo's. You & Fairy Godmother is heartwarming.
Youve made me very interested in teh characterstore site thingy... I did check it ou & will again online at least.

So happy you have been able to reacquaint with PIO. Nice to see her.

It was nice talking with you yesterday Ruthie. Sorry, I had to cut it short.

Today is not such a great day weather wise here & you know me with the change in air pressure, so I'm not posting much. Happy you are doing well. We'll talk soon.

All caught up! Loved all of the Dismeet photos and your interaction with the Fairy Godmother was really neat.

Looking forward to our Dismeet in less than 2 weeks!

Ain't the internet grand? FL (via NY) and Oz can meet and be greatest friends! All because of a common point of interest and love (Disney, of course)

Love all the pictures and huge smiles!!

I had to go back to see the Fairy Godmother photo (missed that while we were gone) and I love it. That is the same Fairy Godmother we had a couple of years ago and we had so much fun with her.

Hi Ruthie,
We got home last night. It was so great to meet you all three times! We will be back, maybe as early as the end of March. I need to sit Fran down and plot some dates. Since we'll be in a plane taking off for Atlanta 24 hours from now so it may take a bit to get her to sit down and settle on some dates.

Understand totally Alison Please forgive me/ understand that I haven't remarked on your thread yet Having a few days off and getting back into a routine is feeling a little like jet - lag for me in a way Just know I love you guys, and none of us are going anywhere We signed up for life

If you can email any pictures you have from Cape May & the cookout I would MUCH appreciate it when you get some time

 

[RGirl]

Hi Ruthie! I realized that I was never going to be able to catch up just starting at the beginning, so I'm posting now to let you know I'm here. And I'll try to go back and read up a bit over the next few days!

Hi Roni Thanks I apologize to you and everyone that I just can't " get" how to do chapter links to make things easier Don't even try to explain, I will develop a deer in the headlights look that part of my brain must be shrinking Glad to see you joining in, a big hug to Willow ( for those that don't know, Roni has the most adorable and way too smart for a 6 y/o daughter if/when I ever meet them maybe Willow would do my chapter links for me )

 

[spiritsim]

Yea I don't understand them either......lol

Thanks Ruthie! No worries on the links - I do them for my TR, but I never use them. I actually find them irritating.

I doubt I will ever truly "catch up" here, but I'm going to just barge my way in and join along anyway if you don't mind.

And thanks for the big compliments on Willow - I sure think she's a great kid.

 

[Luvchefmic]

If I see something right in front of me, I can touch it, then I can pretty much figure it out, I love to read and have no comprehension problems except for instruction manuals, things like that

I think the problem is I get bored very easily and the imagination/creative side of my brain is the dominant side So I easily get side tracked ( think Dug ----> squirrel ) I also have a need to see instant results so have no patience for nonsense like learning links or setting the clock in my car by reading about it I will have to fool around with these things until I get it

Hey! I didn't know all this about you... okay, maybe I did, you know I suffer from CRS. (Can't Remember Sh...Stuff). hehe You forgot the part where you come into peoples lives & make them even better.


Okay, maybe I will comment on a few TR's.

I have sone great pics from Cape May. Almost nothing but food pron from the cookout. I succeded incapturing the food but hardly any people I hope PIO did better with that. I will send when I am home and recovered from Atlanta. Webhave been here jus over 24 hours and have been in three bars and a rehearsal!

 

[KatMark]

Just wanted to pop in and to tell you to have a nice weekend, Ruthie.

 

[Deesknee]

hmm... cookout? didn't happen. no pictures. Just saying a wise woman once told me... if there aren't pictures it didn't happne.

 

[Luvchefmic]

A very lovely thing to say Dee...I feel the same way about you...and for the record you DID know all this so yes it must be CRS

Alison whew! what a whirlwind of activity since the cookout I think I only have a picture of PIO in the kitchen making that wonderful rice dish Why don't I have YOU cooking that fabulous Tri Tip I have been having horrific camera issues since Sept and on-going battles with Photopass too since then I have pictures appearing, disappearing, and reappearing, we are currently in the disappearing and being replaced with strangers pictures at this point what a hot mess

Kathy thanks for coming here daily in my thoughts/prayers
