Three weeks plus away from home is a long while :)
I have no idea what that's even like. Never been away that long. :sad2:

It is a major hoot to be in the laser room when they finish and the patients can see things they have never seen without glasses
My experience was waking up from my nice long nap afterwards and looking all the way across the room at my bookcase and being able to read the titles on the spines! :goodvibes

It will be nice to one day swim in a pool and not have to shut my eyes when I go under!!!
It's still blurry underwater, but put on a pair of goggles and it's clear as can be! Good luck and I hope you will be done with glasses/contacts. It didn't work that way for me, I still need them to drive and towards the end of the day, but still it was a life-changing event. Take that clause about "reducing your dependency on glasses" seriously. Mine was corrected to almost perfection, but just enough off to not be able to do an enhancement without risking overcorrection.
 
Thank you Bob and Marsha! Very good information and advice, I appreciate it! Hmm, I wonder if they will have a welcome back party? If so, we want to be there! Thanks again!
 

Fools,

We are going to have a Cell Phone List for our group to make it easier for people to coordinate group get togethers. If you want to be included in the list, PM me your full name, Cell Phone number and email address so the list can be sent to you.

Thanks,

Reneé

I checked our airline ressies today and we are now leaving from MCO twenty two minutes earlier than first scheduled. We're on a nonstop flight on American from MCO to LAX.

I am going to check more often now, as if they make a plane change, I want specific seats for our family.

Just an FYI for everyone.

Our Alaska flight into LAX changed too! Yippee!!!!We arrive at 10:30 pm instead of midnight! :teeth: This is the first time I was GLAD of a flight change! :cool1:

Those West Coasters who jumped on the GREAT Alaska one-way fare for $88.10 better check your flight times in case they have changed like ours did.
 
I couldn't get into the chat room. Did I miss the new password, or what??? Bummer!!!

I hope you are a successful candidate for the surgery. I had it done last year and will never regret it. My right eye did not reach a perfect 20/20 but I hardly notice the difference. It is amazing to be able to see without contacts or glasses! If they perform the surgery, remember to follow all the doctors orders. Don't rub! Keep your eyes lubricated even when you don't THINK they are dry.

I'm so excited for you! Good luck.

The same password for the regular chat. The special password is for the special chat.

Were you in the first chat area, not the one on the bottom of the page? It's a little confusing.

That's what makes it so much fun!LOL

With DVC I get to do all the laundry at WDW and enjoy the last bit before it's back to reality and whatever else may await my return! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Nah if I'm going to be staying in a deluxe resort at WDW, I sure as heck ain't doing laundry for the only day I've got there!!!!

Done long trips and back to work the next day before. Sworn I'll never do it again. Guess I'm getting too old for that anymore :)

Cheers,
Grumbo
 
OK. I'm here first for the riddle of the day associated with our days to the cruise. Answer to yesterday's riddle was 12 Squared=144 days to go. So obviously today's deals with 143 days.

It's a baseball riddle. Fill in the blanks and explain why.

DOUBLE PLAY!

It's a ground ball hit to the _________, he turns and throws to the ___________, who fires the ball to __________ to complete the double play!

Obviously, I knew I was retiring before the cruise, but for the first time it dawned on me this will be the first vacation trip that I will NOT have to go back to work!!! Yea!!! Probably get stuck with the laundry!!!

In the end, we were unable to resist the lure of the extra day in the parks! Flight plans home have changed from Sunday to Monday on Air Canada. Cost increase of $80 per person, but we don't know when we'll be heading to FL again. You were right, Janet - "Ship of Fools Sisterhood will continue onto Toronto!"

I only noticed last night that the 12:15 departure has changed to 1:30 pm :cheer2: Flight lands at 4:15 pm - just enough time to get home, order a pizza, and get Lara to bed for school the next morning.

Me ... I may just have to take ANOTHER day off to catch up the laundry and things! :rotfl:

I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE!
Can I say it?
Here goes:
"It's a ground ball hit to the pitcher, he turns and throws to the second baseman, who fires the ball to the first baseman to complete the double play!"

The baseball positions are designated numbers for scoring purposes.
1 Pitcher
2 Catcher
3 1st Base
4 2nd Base
5 3rd Base
6 Short Stop
7 Left Field
8 Center Field
9 Right Field

All those Little League games played off! Woo Hoo!

Hope it was Ok to post this now.
Darlene
 
Whew. Glad someone else knew the answer because there was no way I was getting that one. :)
 
Good for you Arlene! You are a braver Sister than I! The next day is the first day of the new work school year for me, and you just do not miss the first meeting/planning day of the new school year. Darn! I'd definitely take another day if you could do it! :teeth: So, which park(s) are you all going to visit? Where are you going to stay?!

Great riddle izzi!!!

Hey Amanda, best wishes with your lazik surgery! You must also be excited for this weekend at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, can I hide in your luggage? Any more sales on the Gymboree clothes...Good job Sister!

When is Addison's bday?!
 
What is the date we can begin to make Excursion reservations with Disney?
Is it 90 days out now? I know the cruise has to be fully paid.
I'm just about to give up on these ATV rentals in Cabo San Lucas. They want $100 deposit, but do NOT want to do it via credit card, as they say they can't charge in advance, but want me to wire them the money. I haven't wired money in probably 30 + years, plus I have no recourse if there are any problems down the road. I'll keep trying this week, but am starting to feel that I'll just go with DCL, pay the little bit extra and use their excursions.

Cheers,
Grumbo
