DDA Chapter 16

[PNO4TE]

I have a girlfriend who tells a great story along these lines. Her husband wasn't shooting his mouth of though. They were on their way to St. John's Island. She's one of us in that she likes to get to the airport with more than enough time to spare. Her DH likes to get there with just enough time to board the plane. So he was taking his good ole time getting ready to leave for the airport. She kept yelling at him and he kept telling her to relax, that there was plenty of time. Somewhere in there she keeps reminding him to get his birth certificate to bring to the airport. So they get to the airport with maybe 15 minutes to spare, walk up to the ticket counter and guess what. Her DH doesn't have his BC. Now mind you, they live a 15 minute cab ride to the airport, but because he waited until the last minute to get there, there was no time to go home and get the BC. She was so p issed, she looked at him, said "See ya" and she got on the plane to St. John. He couldn't say anything because he knew he was the one in the wrong. He went home and caught a flight the next day. I'm giggling just thinking about her telling the story.

I would have done the same thing! And, had I been The Jerk's wife last night, I would have flown home and changed all the locks on the doors.

Headache is gone! Photobucket was acting "snarky" so I gave up for right now. I will try again later tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'm in there now finishing uploading my trip pics - no problems!

I'm glad you are feeling better.

Bob says that the family has chosen Tuesday for the viewing and Wednesday for the funeral. So, I will head up there Tuesday morning. I don't know whether I will come back after the service on Wednesday or wait until Thursday to come on back.

Pocono Whitewater has some trips that are age 4 and up. Whitewater Challengers has some that start at age 5 and others for age 6 and up. You'd want a class I or II trip. If he is comfortable in the water and can swim he would probably be alright. Although he would probably contribute little to the paddling.

Good to know. That is something that would be totally new and different for us. Colby is more comfortable in the water than most adults

Feel better Becky.

Bernadette, that is what shocked me about Pink being owned by VS. The store had tops, sweat pants, jackets, the cutest little sleep bottoms and tops ($28 for sleep bottoms!!! ) and tables full of panties and bras. Sorta like an upscale Limited Too. Priced more like A&F. But when they gave her that VS bag, I just about passed out. She's 12!!!!!!


Okay, I need help. I am so wiped out from the football game (in a GREAT WAY!!!!!) that I just don't have the energy to finish doing the dishes. I must have 30 minutes of work to do in the kitchen. Just don't feel like it. Just want to dis and enjoy knowing we are headed for the PLAYOFFS!!!!

I'm off all next week. I can do the kitchen tomorrow right???

 

[my3princes]

We are looking at this campgound as a potential option

It looks great in cyberspace Have you ever driven by it Heidi?

At least that gives you tomorrow to get reorganized. Thursday might be a better day for driving. How angry is he with the family?

This was my suspicion. My initial comment about him being old enough was for the dam release days as they tend to have a slightly older age requirement. Although they typically have much better and faster rafting. Anything that allows his age range should be good, since he is a fish like me.

If you have anymore questions about the rafting let me know.

I was just looking at the hersheypark and dutchwonderland sites. Apparently they haven't set their admission prices for 2009 yet That is kind of strange. Wouldn't some people give tickets as Christmas gifts?

I think he is resigned to just let it all go. He realizes that they won't change and there is nothing he can do to make them communicate any better. I doubt that the outcome would have been any different. He probably wouldn't have gotten home in time to see his Mom by the time all was said and done, but the thought that they were incapable of letting him know in time is so very sad to me.

Thank you. My brother wants to stay right at the track, but it is expensive and there are no ammenities at all. I think we will probably stay at a nice campground nearby. I'd rather have electricity (air conditioning), sewer and water, a nice pool, you get the idea. Even if we have to drive 12 miles in heavy traffic I think we will be MUCH happier offsite



Hunter is just starting to get blackheads and pimples. Even if he only uses the wash occasionally it does make a difference.



My kids were 10 and 11 when the blackheads and pimples started. I think that they may be on the younger side for starting puberty, but I'm not sure. Nick at 13 is struggling with his voice cracking and that has been since this summer.



Oh no. Is this related to his neck issue from the last trip??

No relation, he was moving my fountain from the backyard back to it's spot in the front after we took down the Christmas decorations.

that he goes to the doctor and feels better soon! What's with him pulling muscles right around WDW vacations?

Oh no!

I hope he feels better in time for the trip! Four days is a decent amount of time to get some meds and rest his back, so hopefully he will feel OK by the time you leave! Stock up on Advil!

I sure hope your DH is on the mend quickly. You go to the World in hours now!!!

Thanks everyone, he's still sleeping so we'll see how he feels when he wakes up. I'll be at work but he has strict orders to go have it checked if it's not 100% better this morning.

Elin sorry to hear about the jerk at the airport! Hope you are able to get some rest today before you head out tomorrow

Debbie I hope dh feels better today

Deb your vacation plans are sounding good

Good morning

I agree completely. I'm glad he's not letting their behavior fester, if you know what I mean.

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Got plenty to spare.
Hope it heals fast

If there's a little spare PD out there I could use some down here, DH has pulled a muscle in his back and is walking around like he has a corn cob you know where. I told him to go to the doctor in the morning and see what he says, we have a road trip in four days.

Family has stayed at Don Laine and really liked it.

Thank you. My brother wants to stay right at the track, but it is expensive and there are no ammenities at all. I think we will probably stay at a nice campground nearby.

Good morning...

Thanks for all the 's and. Lucy managed to sleep soundly through the night so I'm hopeful she was just cranky. She was horrible for those few hours before bed.

I am off to the dr.s, hopefully with good results.

I'll catch up later.

Have a great day.
