DDA Chapter 4

The only weekend that is bad for Stephanie and I is July 19. Not sure what other weekends would be bad for her.
 

If you were referring to the multi-quote posts you see (like Mrs. Heg just did, where she responded to two of us), it's a fairly new function on the DIS (maybe 6-8 months? I really don't remember when it showed up). At the bottom right hand corner of each new post, there is the "quote" button, and then a little square button next to it with a plus sign and something else. If you click that one, it will turn red, but you'll stay on the page you're reading. You can do that to as many posts as you want as you're reading along, it will remember what you've selected. Then, when you hit reply, they'll all show up in one nice box for you to reply to.

If you weren't referring to that, ignore my rambling! ;) Hope that helps... but it's great to see you regardless of how "caught up" you are! :goodvibes[/quote]

I DID IT:banana: :cool1: :banana: Thank you. Now I can keep up.
Why thank you. Penny

Hi Penny,
Steffy (Stephanie) and I are Lancaster people but we love to travel to have fun meets. The last one was a bunch of us meeting in Baltimore. We would love to meet you :goodvibes
Would love to meet Dis people:hug:

How about June 28-29 or July 26-27?

Either one sounds good to me. Where?
Penny
I am so excited that I can now keep up with the board without taking notes along the way. :cloud9:

Penny,

Stephanie and I will be at the meet in Camp Hill too. That is gonna be so much fun:cool1:
 
I'm glad that the surgery is scheduled soon. Prayers and :wizard: that all goes well and it does the job for him.

How scary for your low sugars. I'm glad that they came back up, but I'm sure it was a rough day. Take care of yourself, though I know you are! :hug:

Debbie, tons of good wishes for the surgery! :wizard: Hopefully it will go well and your SIL will recover quickly!
I am sorry your blood sugar is giving you problems! I would imagine there is quite a learning curve to keeping it all in balance!:hug:

Hi, Penny! Glad you are joining us! :banana:

I took DS's Nike shirts back to Nordstrom. They didn't have the smaller ones, BUT (and this is where Nordstrom kicks Macy's butt for service) the sales associate looked up the shirts, found a store that had all 3 in a smaller size, called to verify the other store had them, and arranged to have them shipped to our house! No shipping charge! On CLEARANCE shirts! :eek: Every time I vow to stay out of Nordstrom they reel me back in.:rolleyes1
Returned the 3 big shirts to Macy's, and the lady there today was nice. Didn't see the snarky lady.
I exchanged my stinky bag for a backpack because the only sling bag they had was ugly.:rolleyes:

My friend met us for lunch. She has DS now and they are going to see "Spiderwick Chronicles". I came home to TRY to get things cleaned up a bit. The family I am sitting for called and they want me there 45 minutes earlier tonight, so I guess I should get busy. But I would rather sit and DIS. ;)
 
My mom just called. My grandmother has breast cancer and will have surgery on March 7th. I don't know any details (neither does my mom) as my grandmother lives by herself and didn't ask the doctor what type, prognosis, nada. She's 85, tired of living, and personally I'm not sure treatment is in her best interest. She has a myriad of lung and heart issues, and I just am wondering if 6+ weeks of radiation is a good choice. My mom agrees and is calling my grandmother's doctors to have a long talk. I'm not being crass. God knows I love her more than anything. I'm not sure she'd make it through general anesthesia. She is very lonely and depressed since she had to quit her job a year ago. My grandfather has been dead 10 years and she misses him desperately. I would rather her have a good quality of life at the end vs suffering with treatments that might not work. My mom and I said if she doesn't get the radiation, then we will plan a huge trip this summer as a family and go celebrate all together! I really thought this year would be better for our family.
 
denise- im sorry to hear about your grandmother and also john. i hope they are able to find out what is going on

leighanna happy birthday sweetie

update on shocker- they called this morning and said so far no change but she is stable. dr keeps talking about high risk of aspiration because her esophagus is enlarged and weak. that is part of mg. she is thinking about a feeding tube so she wont aspirate. i asked what % of dogs respond and she said its 50/50. its so hard i really don't know what to do. i know if she does get back to walking where she can come home we still have the aspiration risk and have to watch her closely. then if we do have to put her down i know it will be best for her but i don't know if i wanna watch and be there while they put her down. then i think i should because i wanna show her i love her and i am there for her. i know my parents would probably go but i don't know if i want to. what do i do?:sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:
 
Vicki - did you see this?

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Extra Magic Hour Test[/FONT]​
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Extra Magic Hours are available to Disney Resort guests at select theme parks on select days. When resort guests enter the park for evening Extra Magic Hours, they go to a designated location for a wrist band. This easily identifies them as a resort guest to Cast Members.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]One of the difficulties, especially for the evening Extra Magic Hour, has been clearing the park of non-resort guests. Walt Disney World will test a new procedure from February 24 - 29, 2008. Each Disney Resort Guest will need to carry (and show) their valid Disney Resort Key to the World Card for access to the theme parks for evening Extra Magic Hours. Wristbands will not be issued. Be sure to have your Resort ID available as you enter any attractions.[/FONT]​


I think this is a horrible idea. At least the wristbands are visible. A KTTW card in someone's pocket isn't.

Thanks Tammi. Yes, I'd seen it. We'll be at Epcot's EMH on the 29th so we'll see how it goes. Chuck & I also think it is a bad idea. We'll see how it goes. I'm wondering if they ran out of wristbands? :lmao: :rolleyes1 :confused3 or whether they are testing a new system?
 
Yuck! I was thinking about asking you all if anyone had any thoughts, but since the tags are still on my bag and the lady said I can bring it back I am going to exchange it for another style. I am assuming Becky's bag will have the same problem mine did with repelling anything you spray on it. My only other thought was to go put it outside in the sun, but a circus tent has probably already been in the sun.:confused3 Maybe take it to the dry cleaners and ask them?

Her's is getting aired out fine. I did spray a little febreze on the material part of it. The circus tent part of course repels everything.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma, Denise. Your mom and your thoughts though make a lot of sense. I hope that your mom has a good conversation with the doctor. :wizard: and prayers that things work out for the best. :hug:

My prayers continue for you and Shocker, Karen, and for the decisions that you have to make. I know that it's hard, but that you will do what's best in the end. I hope that Shocker is comforatble and without pain. Lots of :grouphug: winging their way to you.
