Bunnies and mooses and groupies, Oh my!!! The Wilderness Lodge groupies thread. 4.0

[jimmytammy]

Just wanted to share what I am doing right at this moment...listening to some Lodge music as I read and catch up.
Then I come across Elizas post regarding 9/11, and the music sounds all that more moving than normal.
So with that in mind, and knowing especially that folks like Eliza who were so directly affected by that day, I hope we never, ever lose sight of what that day means to us as fellow citizens of such a great nation! No matter our political, religous or ethinic backgrounds, we are all Americans! So 9/11 should never be forgot, if only for those families and friends, like our very own Eliza.

 

[Muushka]

I think I will always think of Eliza on 9/11. A day that many of us will never forget.

Hugs to you, Eliza and to all who were personally affected by the tragedy.

When every one finishes your home work (especially our young moose members) ya'll can come back outside and play.

It looks like I won't be coming out to play for awhile then... seriously, I'll have to go look up the definitions of 1/2 of what you said.

Excellent points noted - don't count on being here tomorrow - get it done today - I'm not talking going to Disney More (although that certainly wouldn't hurt )

As always, a big big "Love you guys madly" to my serious support group, "the groupies". Any one who was remotely effected will tell you that, love is how we survived.

Twinklebug, Now you know I never give hard trivia or home work.
So you know wills handle your affairs when you die but in reality most people don't kick the bucket in accidents or tragedy. The majority of us become injured. So POA stands for power of Attorney, basically it's a paper that says if you are hurt some one has the legal authority to make a lot of normal, every day decisions for you.
In my case, I was injured at the towers but my husband was in NJ and couldn't even get into the city, a week or so afterward he realized that my checking account handle the mortgage and house bills, and since we didn't have power of attorney forms it was really hard for him to get access to those funds.

You know I conveniently forgot what was mentioned about wills and such yesterday. I even took mental notes of what HD said, being that she is in the same situation as we are. We really do need to get something going in the will department. It is a little harder when you don't have kids! But we will do it.

Eliza - hugs & good thoughts coming your way on this day of rememberance & service. I'll 2nd & 3rd what others have said this thread wouldn't be the same without you.

Thank you for the gentle prodding to get out there & take care of the legal stuff. I have been saying this to DH for years, but we still have not gotten around to it yet. If I leave it up to him we'll never get to it. I'm on it now!

Morning Groupies,

Very tough day here in NYC and I agree with all of your sentiments that we can never forget the sacrifices made on 9/11 and since. Eliza I didn't know that about you. We will have to have a drink at the lodge one day to celebrate life. I spent more hours at Ground Zero than I care to remember and have had several health scares related to the time I worked there. I think my obsession with taking the family to Disney and spending quality time with them is directly related to those health scares. Fortunately for me those issues turned out to be nothing serious. Great advice on getting your estate and wishes in order. That is especially true for those of us who have children with special needs.

We'll be at BWV Dec 10-12, then moving to VWL Dec 12-15. Made all my ADR's today and got everything I wanted.

I cannot imagine the work you did.

Please.

I have about 54 koi living in my back yard!

 

[Muushka]

I hope they are in a pond! Sorry, couldn't help it.
I can imagine gazing at those fish all day long!

You are on the official list!

 

[ransom]

I can imagine gazing at those fish all day long!

It must be time to go home.

I read that as, "I can imagine grazing on those fish all day long!"

 

[Muushka]

It must be time to go home.

The above is what my tired eyes read Muushka's post as!

Fix my quote!! I will be up for Groupie animal (or fish!) abuse!!!

Get some rest Ransom!!!

Well, we made it thru this day. I have been staying at my DD's since Tues. She is expecting her second child and was due on Wed. I came here to stay with my DGD (she's 2) whenever they would need to go to the hospital. Last night DSIL said he hoped the baby wouldn't be born today because it's such a sad day for our country. Looks like he got his wish. That baby can come any time now and DD wishes that it would!

Thank you for the help there eliza

I hope all went well today for you & everyone else.

What an odd day it was in Boston. There were very few people on the train for the time of day I commuted. The office was mellower than I've ever seen it. My group felt more like family hanging out than co-workers. In that way, it was nice. Come Monday I can assure you that all will be back to normal & we'll be running around crazy.

I got ya covered. It's fixed now.

Morning Groupies,

I appreciate the warm wishes but there are many people around here more deserving of them than I am.

Back to Dis stuff...any groupies know how to use the online ADR system at the 90 + 10 mark? I have entered my VWL ressie for Dec 20 but it won't let me reserve past the 90 day mark.

Well this is me today We had a really nice trip. The AKV was really nice and we enjoyed staying there for the most part but it wasn't the Lodge! I have more to write but not the time to do it now. I will try to do it later today.
