DDA Chapter 4

[lovesdumbo]

I am sorry everybody is still feeling icky....but did you have to send it this way??? Jim is feeling off today I just hope it's not contagious as we were with my fragile great uncle....Jim tried to stay away from him. that it goes away soon for everybody!!

Hope Jim is feeling better soon and great uncle doesn't catch anything!!!


There is so much going around. Lizzy had 9 kids out sick one day last week in a class of 24. Some of the schools around here were closed a few days last week there were so many kids out. Lots and lots of folks who never get sick at work have been out. I just counted and of the 34 weekdays since the start of the year I've had 2 holidays, 5 vacation days, 8 days sick and 19 days in the office. I'm glad Monday is another holiday.

I didn't chime in....but last night we were in Target and there were 2 little girl outfits left and I went man I would love to get these but Jennifer hasn't told us she's having girls yet .

I was only off by a little with Virginia because Mac had Aidan.....so I do believe I still may have a 100% guessing ability

You're better at it than I am!

Are you signed up as an A+ rewards member?

Absolutely, they are pretty much all we ever fly.

 

[Pooh67_68]

So do John and I.
John has blue eyes and I have hazel.

You put pictures of Jim and I together at the same age and we look like siblings.

 

[tinknme]

No I haven't, guess I better check it out!

My flights for our trip home from Disney are booked I used a code for each of us, so I saved an extra $75 Now I will keep my fingers crossed that our flight getting us there drops some.

I almost boo booed & booked the 15th from home to Orlando Glad I caught it before I paid!

Chanon & Robyn I used your codes along with mine. Tammi I still have Lindsay's code if you need it. Thank you all so much for helping me out & Thank you Terry as well!

The weather here is beautiful today. 72 and just like Spring outside. The kids and I have been out here (I'm on the laptop) since 11am.

About the neighbor, I truly appreciate everyone's advice. I prayed about it last night and did a lot of thinking about it last night. I received confirmation from Webkinz that the $$ was taken out on Wednesday. I saw the neighbor outside today and went to talk to her. I told her I was sorry about confronting her abruptly yesterday and without really giving her a chance to reply. I handled it wrong, and I was sorry. She said her DD has been grounded with NO priviledges for 3 weeks so it wasn't her that took the $$. I said that BK only told her, but if she said it wasn't her DD then I would believe her and said I was sorry for wrongly accusing her. I said that I didn't want the girls sitting next ot each other on the bus as the things she has been saying to BK may not be inappropriate for HER DD, but they were inappropriate for BK. She said her DD has been having nightmares for weeks over the scary stuff she's been telling BK? And I said then you think it's ok for her to tell MY daughter? I also told her that I had talked to BK and her DD on Monday to tell them she couldn't have BK's Webkinz. She kept asking BK every day anyway and then talked her into giving her the password for her account. Her mom NEVER once apologized for anything or for any of her kids' behaviors... I told her that I wanted no animosity between us, that I had told my children they were to be polite to their family, if they saw her kids outside and I was out too, they could all play. She said that was fine.

It's amazing. She never took any accountability for anything (not surprised), never apologized, NADA. I personally feel better and feel like I was the bigger person, apologized for how I handled it wrong, etc. If I see her at the bus stop, etc, I will be totally comfortable with myself.

Then 30 minutes later her DH comes over to see John and talk sports like nothing had happened. The dad and kids were all waving at us outside, and the mom literally hid her head behind her hand. I think the mom is just . But it's over as far as I'm concerned. I don't think her DD will be mean to BK either. And if she is, I'll handle that too. Thanks again for all the advice.

Denise - it sounds as if you made every attempt to mend whatever rift may have been brewing. I hope that you all can be neighborly now, for everyone's sake.

I just heard a newsclip this week that the number of blue eyed people in the US is dropping. All 3 of mine have blue eyes as both DH & I do.

It must be because of immigration. Not so many Germans are coming to the US anymore!

 

[Tammi67]

Sorry if this has already been answered.

You will need 3 different codes to apply to each reservation. If you still need 2 more let me know, I was sent 2 more than I need(thank you everyone that sent me the code!)

If you book your flights & the prices drop, call Airtran & they will give you a credit good for a year. Now beings we are using these codes I honestly do not know how this will work. But so far I have never had troubles getting a credit.

Thank you! If nobody else has asked for the codes, I could still use them.

 

[Tammi67]

for your whole household Bernadette!

Ditto from me!

I don't know.... I get tons of email from them. Usually just announcing WebDeals, sales for my area, etc. Sometimes there are a few A+ rewards only specials, but I've never seen anything as direct as $25 off!

 

[tinknme]

Tammi did you receive the one's from Lindsay & Terry?

We managed to create a canopy for Colby's wheelchair today. This one was much easier than the one for Hunter's. I was walking through BJ's the other day and saw a lawn chair with a canopy for $20. I figures I could remove the canopy and use it on the wheelchair and still have the lawn chair. Amazingly it worked perfectly with some simple hardware for Home Depot. Of course it did take 2 trips to Home Depot to get the correct supplies Now I just need to make the rain cover and that chair will be good to go.
We still need to replace some parts on Hunter's canopy as the copper piping we used stretched over the course of our last trip and it is too wiggly now.

From what I understand, there is rumor that DDP would be offered free for those with AP's???? So I'm wondering if you have to be on a package to take advantage of it, if it does happen.

Wow - free?! I hadn't heard that. That would be awesome! I'd stay for free on an extra trip if that was the case.

ETA: I just told Chuck about this rumor and he said "I know I read that on the DIS". I asked him where he found the info and he said "I read Tammi's post". I told you he was lurking again. I said "So you did see pictures of my hair today". He says the husband is always the last to know and that he's hurt that no one called him and told him that he could see pictures of his wife's hair on the thread.

Deb you are so creative

Enjoy your dinner Elin.

And thanks for inviting me.

Uh.... I was not invited to the George Strait concert OR to the Capital Alehouse!

I wonder if DVC members staying on points would be able to get the AP DDP.

DVC members can already get the DDP... am I missing something?
