DDA Chapter 10

[yellowfish78]

From Delta's website:

Second Bag Fee Rebate Program
On April 9, 2008, we announced that we would begin charging $25 for a second checked bag effective for all travel on or after May 5, 2008. Although this fee applied to all passengers regardless of when they purchased their ticket, we have made a business decision to offer those passengers who purchased tickets prior to April 9, 2008 for travel after May 5, 2008, a rebate of this fee. Your can check your eligibility for the rebate or request a rebate online.

ETA: Updated info regarding baggage fees. Looks like changes are coming again - meaning higher fees.

Hi guys-
I need some prayers...As I was online earlier, myb rother called and asked for mom--i knew something was wrong so i got mom and we found out Joe had been in a motorcycle accident. He was driving to the firehouse and a car swerved in his lane and was headed right towards him. He had to choose to get hit by the car or go towards to grass and dump his bike. So he went for the grass and there was a big ditch. Joe was knocked unconcious for a bit and we headed to the hospital around 1130..he is still there, my dad and I just came home for ab it and we are headed back. As of now, they think his shoulder and jaw may be broken. Im pretty much freaking out and i know how strong DDA prayer is...thanks

Oh, Jen! I just saw this! I was not online yesterday! I hope that as I read I find that he is ok, and that you are too! You are always in my prayers, and you and your family will continue to be!

I did have the ones from v50.net, I took those out this morning.

oh! No wonder I was confused!

Nice new tickers Elin. I might have to copy you.

I love your new one for Nicholas' birthday trip!

I am so not cut out to handle change well. This week has just been wonky. Last night Eric didn't get home until 7:30. He was done at 4 but the metro was delayed so he waited and waited. Lucy did not appreciate that at all!! She cried and cried and cried til he walked in the door. I was trying to fix dinner and screwed it up(I was adding a tad of spicy red pepper oil and ended up adding about 1/3 of the bottle, Eric and I were able to eat it but there was no way the girls were touching it) that I ended up ordering pizza. That did not get here until 8pm. Tonight I think I'm headed to anywhere but my kitchen for dinner.

On top of that Emma and Allyson are being drama queens and Mo refuses to sleep past 5:30am. I am beat. And I know Eric is too but I am still beyond annoyed that he comes home, talks to the girls for about 2 minutes, eats dinner and then heads downstairs til he is ready for bed. He's too tired from the commute. 2+ hours are on the train. What I wouldn't do for 2 hours to myself. More than 12 hours with the girls and the other kiddos for 8 hours is slowly pushing me over the edge. But on the bright side it's Thursday and the week is almost over.

I am off to shower before the troops arrive in 20 minutes.

Have a great day.

Oh, honey! I feel your pain!!! I know that our "menfolk" work hard, but sometimes they don't understand that we do, too. And our work never ends. We never get to punch out, and leave work at work. It drives me crazy that Alan isolates himself with his computer and I have to parent 24/7.
for you! I think you deserve a night out to dinner! No children allowed!!!

hey guys-
I just found out my surgery is on tuesday (like 4 days--crazy!)
So I will be done by the time our friend gets here on Sunday--that will give me 5 days to recover, so hpoefully i will be good by the time he gets here.

Ive been so focused on getting the surgery early, i am now nervous about it..but im still glad!

get it over with!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Hello, DDA! We are home! We had a fantastic, wonderful, words-can't-describe-it FAMILY trip! Now I have a ton of unpacking, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. to get done.

And...I leave in less than 12 days for DISNEY! There is no way I'll ever be ready. I am planning a trip to see my parents for a few days next week for my father's birthday.

I look forward to catching up with you, but that is going to need to wait for a day or so.

I am glad you all had a wonderful time, Beth! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[PNO4TE]

Theresa I hope the rest of the day goes better for you!

me too!!

me three! You poor thing!

It took almost all day long, but we just got home with Bob's new car. He is happier than a penguin in an ice flow! And I have NO idea where that came from.

 

[Glynis]

Thank you so much guys. He just walkd in the door about 15 minutes ago. His scapula (i know i spelled that wrong) is broken for sure as well as his jaw. But both look like they were clean breaks. He will be calling the orthopedic surgeon as soon as they open.
Im sorry about my melt down post earlier, i was just going crazy. I needed to "talk" to someone while i waited. So i got a 15-20 min "nap" and just trying to help get him settled and then maybe illt ry to get some sleep.
Thanks again

I'm so glad that he's home! Take care of yourself!

 

[Glynis]

John just walked in the door.

He's sick, and the fact that he came home means HE'S SICK.

Is he feeling any better today?

 

[Glynis]

Robyn- My mouth is very sore...without giving TMI...I now have stitches in part of my mouth and percocet is once again my friend. I am missing my pepsi to kickstart my day but other than that (and work woes) I am okay. Because my insurance has a $1500 yearly limit we are going to see how well I tolerate the work being spread over the next 5 months. That way I have to pay less than if we did it all this year. Plus it gives my mouth a little more time to heal.

Prayers being said that you can tolerate this well! I'm sorry you are in pain!!

You will do fine, and just think no more sickies or at least not as often.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Welcome home Beth, gald you had such a great time.

Hello, DDA!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Ditto and here's a just because.

Theresa I hope the rest of the day goes better for you!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Yes he is, thanks. But I am sure he will be wiped out, he minds the heat real bad.

Is he feeling any better today?

. And try not to be nervous, you've got the prayer power of the DDA behind you all the way!

The DDA is always there--i love it!
