DDA Chapter 6

[babytrees]

It was really, really great to see that interaction. He told DD that they were headed to the hardware store after scouts and she jumped up and down with excitement. At the end of the meeting the leader welcomed him back and he was very very unassuming. He really didn't like the fuss. And he was just fascinated with Lucy and she with him. I have never seen a grown man look at a baby that wasn't his the way he looked at Lucy. It makes me really stop and think that life is much better with just the simple things. All of the other stuff is just that "stuff".

That is absolutely the best thing I've read this morning. Thanks!!

Elizabeth - I hope that you get things worked out with your Mom and sister. Sounds like it could be a mess if they don't get the details worked out first before she flys down. I don't think I mentioned it before... :cheer: that the scans came back with good reports!

Thanks! I think she will fool around and fool around until the flights are so incredibly expensive that there is NO WAY I will be willing to pay for it, then she will act like it's my fault. Of course she will throw herself on the grenade and shell out whatever the airfare is to prove that no price is too great when it comes to Diva Girl. Momboss said it is fine if I want to go get my sister at the airport, but she also said if I don't want to get her that I can tell my mother I am not allowed to go traipsing off to the airport with Princess.

So where are you in the job negotiations?
Congrats on your trip planning!! We like breakfast at Kona, Boma, and the new Donald's breakfast at AK (which you have already chosen). We liked the 'Ohana breakfast but it was really expensive for what you get. Of course with free dining it isn't that big of a deal.

Deb - Good luck with Nick's room! Fine, rub it in that you don't have to do Science Fair next year.

Robyn - Glad your headache is better! It sounds like Joe has been jolted into reality! That's a good thing!

Tammi - Maybe you could get (or make) some Raisin Bran muffins. My mom has a recipe but it makes a HUGE batch.

Did you guys see the thread on "Rumors & News" that has the links to the bankruptcy filing for the Disney Stores? There is a list of which stores are staying and which are going. It is a preliminary list, but it's still a decent indication of what's going to happen.

Of course we are slated to lose "my" Disney Store. I can still drive up to the one near Lindsay or over to the one near the dealership where I bought my car but those aren't nearly as convenient as the one I go to now.

At least you have a Disney Store near you. The one that is close to me is a 50 minute drive away.

I just got an e-mail that the ratings the band got yesterday were what I thought - 2 "Excellents" and a "Superior". Their sight reading score was just "Good". Seeing how DS has only been playing drums for 7 months I don't think that was too shabby!!

 

[lovespoohbear]

our kitchen remodel starts in a week and a half. should be done by the beginning or middle of august. so please pray we don't get hurricanes or tropical storms down here. tomorrow night i will be seeing some friends and meeting them at the hockey game. GO AEROS!!!

Thanks for this Elizabeth. Took me forever to find annex A, but both stores near me made the cut.

Did anyone else see that Air Tran will now be charging a $10.00 fee for a second bag starting May 15th? So does this fee apply on the return flight also, making the charge actually $20.00?

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Hi ApplePie and Zalera... we all know each other. I'm the one who provides homemade chocolate chip cookies.

I have found the list of stores that are being kept and the ones that aren't. We're told these lists are preliminary and NOT final yet, but it's definitely hard to sit by and wait for these decisions to become final... particularly as part of a team at a store on the bad list.

For anyone who enjoys sorting through endless pages of legal jargon.. the lists can be found here: http://chapter11.epiqsystems.com/clientdefault.aspx?pk=984b6fc1-5861-47e1-816a-0bfea854c839&l=1

Click on the "Docket" link at the top of the page and find Docket #91 -- the "Images" link on the right is actually a number of downloadable files where all of this information can be found.

Click the link in this post. Go through until you find Docket 91 listed to the left. On the right there is a link that says "Images", click that, and from the drop down menu there is a thing listed in 3 parts. In Annex A you will find stores staying open, in Annex G the stores who are closing. You have to scroll through the pages - it isn't the first thing that comes up, and there are about 40 pages in each part. You just need to weed out one list or the other, because if your store isn't on the one you find it will be on the other! The Annexes are not both in the same part, yu have to look through all 3. I did manage to find both lists in about 10 minutes last night.

That's how I am understanding it. I would think they charge you on each leg because I know we always check 5 going to MCO and check 6 coming home.

Sending PD for the remodel and for Lisa.

WTG Lucy!

I'm sitting at Andrew's pitching lesson and my aircard is working. Wow!!
I wish I had service last Sunday.

Gorgeous day today -- sunny and in the high 60s.

Quattro is catching for Andrew and Jake is at my SILs. We'll leave here, feed the boys and go to my niece Katie's game. She has lost her front two teeth this week and looks darling!

Thanks ladies!!

I swear the page was blank the last time I looked!!

The one that is scheduled to reopen this month is on the acquisition list as is "our" store . I do hope they remodel our store though as it is in need of it badly!!

So if we do Sept and free dining, Terra and I have some extra credits to use since Phil won't use all of his. So far I have booked:

Tia, Terra and Phil:
Crystal Palace dinner
Sci-Fi Dine In dinner (I think Phil will love it, he's a total Sci-Fi fanatic!)
'Ohana dinner
Tusker House breakfast

Tia and Terra:
Hollywood&Vine lunch
50s Prime Time dinner
Garden Grill dinner
Whispering Canyon dinner

I can add 3 or 4 more meals depending on whether one is with Phil or all without. I think I'm going to make them without because we have enough to squeeze in with him anyway. So, the question is, what do I add?

What are some of the best breakfasts? All of our breakfast ADRs have been park character meals in the past. Are there some other good ones? Since Terra and I can often share, I can save her credits for buffets and other one-price meals. I also need a dinner before MNSSHP. I was thinking of skipping Chef Mickey's or LTT as we've got two other Mickey/friends meals. What other choices are good that I haven't already had?

I could try a signature dining finally too? What's my best bet? Terra eats anything and does well places so that's not a big deal.

It looks like your trip is really coming along! I am so incredibly excited that Phil is finally going with you!

Tia - congrats on the trip and the perfect ADRs!

So...those of you that add powedered fiber/laxatives to drinks....do they make the drinks taste funny?

I think they all do, except for Benefiber. It's a bit more expensive than the rest, but you can add it to ANYTHING except carbonated beverages, and it adds no taste, no texture, nothing. I've literally had it in water and even soft foods (yogurt, etc) and done fine, and I am not one to get over changes in taste or texture!

Did you guys see the thread on "Rumors & News" that has the links to the bankruptcy filing for the Disney Stores? There is a list of which stores are staying and which are going. It is a preliminary list, but it's still a decent indication of what's going to happen.

Too weird. The one in Cincinnati is not on the acquired list, but all the rest in Ohio, in much smaller towns (Dayton, Canton, etc) are. Boo!

I didn't do the science fair this year...Hunter did. He did the experiments at home and found one of us to photograph him. Otherwise He was on his own.


I'm anxiously awaiting the Samanta Brown show on the Travel Channe. Only 15 more minutes. I've been puttering around in Nick's room, but still haven't gotten it back together. I lack motivation today. I think the crappy weather may have something to do with it. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
