...and Lestat is back to the vet

Best of luck to Lestat. We have 2 cats and the one seems to catch all our people cold germs. Its so strange, but he definitely does not like visiting his vet.

TGIF - so anyone have plans for the 4th of July weekend?

I'm sooo excited, I am now officially "off" for the next 3 days!!
This is even better than vacation - 'casue on vacation you have to do stuff. I'm "off"... not a single obligation, appointment, to-do list or planned thing!!

That sounds like alot of fun!! I love mental breaks too! Life can seem so busy and hectic sometimes so being able to do whatever you want whenever you want for a long weekend is great. I have a friend that grew up in Ashville and raves about its quant-ness.
I just noticed that you are in Red Sox nation. I just moved back to FL from Boston 5 yrs ago (I cant believe its been that long). I loved living in Boston!!




I went on a very long job interview at a hospital yesterday. I am crossing my fingers that I get a call back for the third and final interview early next week. The job is just entry level hospital work, pretty much moving patients around but at least I'll be getting my foot in the door and they offer full health benefits!!! (I pay for private right now and its super expensive )

We don't have any big plans made for the 4th yet. We always do a wait and see with the weather. Plus neither one of us like to drive on the holidays. In our area there are a ton of cops everywhere and even more drunk drivers. We can see fireworks from our apt so we may just hangout at the pool and watch them. I am such a sucker for fireworks, I love them . If its nice weather a friend of ours may take out his boat.

I hope everyone has a happy (and safe) 4th of July!!!!

After the past 3 months I need this and am sooo looking forward to it.

Ashville looks like a cute town (he picked well) and I'm sure we will do things, but the beauty of it is everything will be spur of the moment, as we feel like it. Probably sounds kinda goofy to everyone... but I'm looking forward to the mental break.

Hope everyone else has a great weekend & Happy 4th of July! (And for our Canadian neighbors happy Independence Day a few days late!)

Not goofy at all, after what you guys have been through the past few months this is a well deserved break, enjoy every minute of it and have a great July 4th weekend!!!

Nope, not any more. She and her hubby moved down here to NC with me!!


Glad Lestat is feeling better!

Cheryl, have fun in Asheville!


No plans here but to relax, relax, relax. I did my 10 miles this morning and the rest of the weekend is all mine. Oh yeah, and DH's.


Hope everyone has a great 4th!!

WTH!!!!? The thread was from 2008 and I posted and bumped it!

I thought it was recent b/c I saw the month was May! Didn't bother looking at the year.

No one stopped me!!!

LMAO!!!!!! You responded to it and got it going again???? Oh this should be good. I was looking for a laugh tonight....gotta go peek! hehehehehehehe

 

[zima-cheryl]

Yeah - I've debated changing that... we no longer physically live in New England. However I've been a Sox fan since meeting DH so once a Red Sox fan, always a fan. Which means we are still proud members of Red Sox nation.

Oh, man, they closed it!!!! I love the one who kept saying iff we wanted an all adult area we should go to Sandals, and " You can't control what people do, no matter what their age. So you just deal with it. "

I think not. I work in a public library, and the teens and kids in my library behave or else.

I only read through the first few pages but really got a kick out of it. I think I remember someone saying that Walt would be soo disappointed because disney world is for kids and families. I had to roll my eyes to that one, I am a kid....I am 27 yrs young so he wouldn't mind after all


I am sooo excited I got the job I wanted at a hospital I go in tomorrow. I am super excited!!! To make it even better this means that I get to plan a nice stay at WDW during the holidays!! DBF and I watched a disney special on tv the other day and he started to get excited about going and said that as soon as I get a job to book it. He hasn't been since he was a little kid, and even then I think he only went once and was off property. He has always heard me talk about everything that has changed and how much fun adults can have there but it wasn't until he saw it on tv that he got excited. He is most excited about going to AK.

CONGRATS!!!

Pixie congrats on the job! What will you be doing? I'm a workforce coordinator for a healthcare company but would love to be right IN a hospital.

Yes, they closed the thread. I asked the moderator to reconsider and got a "no" which really annoys me. There was nothing really bad in there, just adults sharing their opinions. I may not agree with most of them who don't want a hotel, but the rationale for why they feel as they do makes me rethink some of my thoughts on the whole idea. I think sometimes they close threads too readily here instead of letting folks "air it out". Even the person who got snippy came back and apologized when she realized how her comments sounded.....

Good Morning Everyone And Happy Friday!!!

Sorry I havn't posted in a while but sometimes life gets in the way like that!

Welcome to all the new peeps!

Since it's been a while I will give you guys my stats: DH & I have been married for 23 years this July and together for 29, and are childfree by choice. We love WDW and AKL is our fav resort! Were hoping to plan a trip to WDW for Oct. 2011. And did somebody mention tequila??!! DH and I love our tequila!

Tiff, my thoughts have been with you guys as I've tried to keep up somewhat on Lestat. Hoping he's feeling better soon.

Cheryl, glad to hear your getting that relaxing vacay. We just got back from our cruise on Saturday and it was so nice! I did not plan anything this trip which is VERY unlike me! But all went perfectly! I will be posting pics on FB this weekend.

Madd, I'm guessing you have got your trip plans all in order? I'm so excited for you!

Hi Kris & Kat!

Have a great day everyone!

And yet there's one in the "Families" board that's ranting on Step-parents that's been going on and on forever and getting pretty nasty, and no one has closed it.... Is it up to the individual moderator of the group, or are there specific rules that they follow?

Not sure. I appealed to LynneM to leave it open and she said no. I think they have general guidelines and each Mod interprets from there. I am a Forum Leader on another site and I know I can close a thread but it takes a LOT for me to do that. I was really enjoying that thread and the ideas presented and truly believe clsoing it was unwarranted.

Hubby and I are childfree, have 3 weinerdogs and one lovely "Lady" cocker spaniel. We enjoy all things Disney. I am a tad obsessed thinking about our next outing to Disney. I have gone once by myself and had a blast. Disney is just not for the kiddies!

​

Obsession and Disney trip planning go hand in hand!! What are your plans so far? Will you be staying on Disney grounds? Which resort? We would love to hear all about your planning!


Happy Monday everyone!!!

 

[onnawufei]

Waaaaait wait wait wait. Since when do "happy" and "Monday" belong in the same sentence?

 

[KRIS10420]

to all the newcomers. Wow, the childfree population seems to be growing larger everyday.

lakelandgal70: Welcome and we should be honored that you joined the Dis 2 years ago but posted your first post on this thread.

Congratulations!

Today I was hoping for a quiet peaceful day off but the roof is being redone so that isn't going to happen, and it's not warm enough yet to head to a beach. I guess I will have to go do some retail therapy instead.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and a great week ahead.

Ummm... only time I can think that works is if it is the first day of a week long vacation.

Wow can't believe it was that long ago I signed up. I am a daily reader of the boards but due to a chronic illness that has affected my brain I am always afraid of posting anything. It is very frustrating to type out something but it not being what you wanted.

TK I am planning on going to Wilderness Lodge in November for the Food and Wine Festival. Next Monday we are gonna eat at San Angel Inn. Never been there. So yes I am sitting here late at night checking prices at the resorts lol. We went to Beach Club Villas couple years ago and that was our first onsite stay. Probably should have stayed at a Pop first than worked our way up.
