DDA Chapter 5

[Tammi67]

Hi Sally! I'm Tammi, and another Disneyholic. I have 2 kids, Nicholas 8 and Alyssa 5. Please jump in the middle of any conversation. We welcome newcomers with open chatting! I would love to see some of the creations you have made.

Hi, Sally! Welcome to the DDA! Just jump in and you'll catch on. That's how I ended up here 17 months ago. We had a monster thread that they locked because of length, so now we are just posting in blocks of 250 pages.

My husband won a Sony Alpha 100 dSLR camera at work. He wants a 70-210mm Minolta lens for it. The lens HAS TO be auto-focus. Because I am an enormous idiot I put a bid in on a manual focus lens. The AF lens is selling on eBay for about $200, so I put in what I thought was a pretty LOW bid only to find out I am bidding on the wrong thing. The Sigma tele-converter for Sony is $200.

I did e-mail the seller and explain that I have to have to AF lens and I would appreciate it if he would cancel my bid. But really, why would he cancel it when he stands to make a lot more money from my mistake than from somebody who actually WANTS that lens?

So we won't have a whole camera to get rid of, only a lens that is in very low demand.

Maybe I should see if I can auction off my PERFECT DH. Somebody MUST need one.

Elizabeth, I love your wit. Or is it sarcasm??? I can just imagine the description you would write for your ad!

Not sure what the top would say, but the last line would be "PayPal only, no returns, no exchanges, buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. Bid retractions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

My name is Terry, and I am the second oldest on this thread (57) and I love Disney. My goal is to get my extended family to WDW in two years when I turn 60. Thankfully DH lets me be me.

Thank you Tia. I have no kids. But I made my 4yo neice a DisneyHolic also. She is now 18 and trying for an internship at Disney. She's just waiting to hear from her interview. I have also made another neice a Disneyholic, she is 7 now, and being Disney with me since she was 3. Her little brother,I'm working on. I made flash cards with the Disney characters on it and we practice who they are. He's 3. I also have a neice 1 1/2. I'm teaching her the characters. I think she needs a set of flash cards!

I'm on the Disboutique thread. I even sew Disney. DN MUST have Disney outfits for our vacations!! I'm working on Pink Cinderella (like the mice helped make) dress for dinner with Lady Tremaine for starters.

I personally see nothing wrong with this. So why do my sisters say I need a 12 step program?

Hi Sally you are in the right place....we are all Disney a holics and don't want a 12 Step program.

I am Theresa and mom to 2 disneyphiles....taking a bit of a breather from the thread as real life is a big ol pain in the tooshie.

We are family here and would love another member.

So I have been having a bummer, dummer of a week. Everything has been helter skelter. I got home early because I had a training and have been doing nothing and have no motivation to do anything. As my brain is fried.

I am also bummed since I have not checked my email basically all week until today that I missed out on Magic Meet tickets. I rarely go without checking personal email but I did for a few days and I missed getting a ticket. I have wanted to go every year since they started the Magic Meet, the first year I was away in Florida finishing classes for graduation, the next year I had to work, then in DC with the DDA, last year I could not get a ticket. There is always next year.

I hope everyone is well. I got homework to finish that is due Saturday, that I have no desire to complete. Plus I am working both Saturday and Sunday. Tomorrow I am only going into work for a short while, at least I hope. I have a report to complete at work as well. I am sick of reports and paperwork. Thank goodness next week is Spring Break for my classes, but I know the week will go far too quickly.

Sorry to be so negative. I hope your lives are going better then mine.

 

[Tammi67]

Becky - I'm sorry you didn't get a ticket for the Meet. Do they have a waitlist or anything, in case someone can't go?

 

[mommykds]

DS got a 100% on his Greece project.
It is showing as counting for 3 separate grades, but DS said she told them it counts for SIX! I'm thinking those kids who turned in nothing are sorry now!

DH and I are not speaking to each other. I hope you guys are going to be around tonight so I am not lonely.

Congrats to DS for his 100%!!!!!!!!

I agree with Tammi, retract. Sorry you guys are not speaking to each other over this & that it will blow over.

 

[tinknme]

Ditto to both!

Becky-i kept thinking about going and missed out on a ticket too!

Thanks, I honestly am not sure if I would be able to go anyways, but I think it would be neat to attend at least once.

If other people can not go, they can either request that somebody who is waiting get their ticket. If they request no one, then they go through names that signed up but did not pay. At least that is how it appears.

 

[tinker1bell]

Becky, I honestly thought you were checking your email and was expecting you to come on telling us you had one.

I think everyone was surprised the tickets sold in just 38 hours.

Disney behind the scenes is on the Travel Channel

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I want to give the seller at least 24 hours to respond to me. The problem with that is that another 24 hours of the auction will be gone. There will still be 2 days left on it, though.

DH did make dinner for all of us, so that was nice. At least I won't starve to death while we fight about the lens.

We just finished watching Idol. I will hold my comments until everybody has a chance to watch it.

Becky, sounds like you are having a sucky day, too!

I'm happy with the results. Except for the first guy they kicked off. I liked him. Easy on the eyes.

Watching. Again.

But I thought he should go home. I thought that he should have gone before now!

Based on performance I think the choices were valid. But that poor girl who got sent home (the 2nd one) did SO much better with her song tonight that it was kind of a shame she was leaving. She didn't sing very well last night.
