I can't remember how I found your report, but I've been reading it (with some pre-stuff in your PTR about what happened with Baylor, if memory serves) for about 2 days...
I've literally laughed, literally cried...made my hubby cry and laugh, too.
Baylor looks quite a bit like my friend's sister's son. He's a sophomore in college now, but when he was something like 3, she had the stove on, he walked over and didn't know, and he placed his dominant (right) hand right smack dab on the burner. And it took too long for his body to yell at him to move so he did some serious damage. When he was in high school he was still favoring his left hand, even though he was naturally right handed.
Even though I didn't know him then (though doing something math in my head tells me that I knew my friend then, so might have been aware of it...but we were in college and my head wasn't in a space to pay attention to 3 year olds) you caused some sort of flashback in my head...the boy's mom and I have become good friends (her sister has serious health issues, and she and I have bonded over sister-friend's hospital bed a few times) and I see the look in her eyes when she's talked about that time... It caused me to feel for Baylor and you and the family even more than I might have without knowing her.
And when you talked about Treyner's feelings while his brother was in the hospital....I cried some more...my stepmom is a NICU nurse and I know very well how most/some nurses have to turn a part of themselves off, and I could totally see her (or a colleague...stepmom is a charge nurse now and you don't get to be that by doing really dumb things with family members) just spacing and asking a family member to help with something inappropriate. I've also had nurses like that in charge of me...it's NOT a good experience. And back to my friend, while she has been on morphine she remains blissfully unaware of the ridiculous stuff going on around her...her first hospitalization was especially bad with things like that. She had a liver transplant in March (25 years nearly to the day after it became a probability for her life), and I wish they had a "friends and family" camp for people who have dealt with that from the "outside"...she just doesn't know all that happened...it's so hard to be support group (harder of course for her, but we weren't given morphine and remember it all).
Anyway, I just really empathize with all of that, and wanted you to know, so I wrote the Iliad, or perhaps the Odyssey, or maybe Ulysses which makes sense b/c my name is Molly and I've heard there's a character with that name in the tome....
I can't wait to hear the rest of your trip! Just to bring my post "up" a bit.
I have a sister-in-law named Dawn Marie and my husband has 2 co-workers named Dawn Marie ... all born in the early 70s. Yep, it was really popular back then. Can't tell you how many Jennifer Lynns I know, too.
Ha! First I should mention that I
the name Marie. In my school it was either Marie or Elizabeth. I had NO middle name, but by the time I hit elementary school I hated that, and chose Elizabeth...then the middle name war was equal.
But...my sister in law, born in late '71, is Jennifer Leigh (very close to Lynn, obviously). And her sister, born along with me 2 years before, is Dawn Marie.
It involved rainbows and people dancing...it was like a Care Bears movie.
Glad to know that others have technicolor dreams after eating cheese too late at night!
You see...last night I went on photobucket to get my life organized. Organize all the pics intp albums instead of having 2 million pics in the mian section to scroll through.
What he and I did not figure out and what now is making me sh!t a pink twinkie is the fact in moving the pics...it moved the address of them so now it does not correspond with what I posted..
mmmhmmm. More empathy. Have stopped myself from doing that in photobucket, but that's ONLY because I did it in my own computer. Hated iPhoto, wanted it to be more like My Pictures (the only thing I miss from PCs with Windows), went into the "back end" stuff for iPhoto (not realizing that's what I was doing!) and moved things around....augh. Broke links inside my computer. Things still work, but I have to go far into the harddrive to get pictures sometimes...
Photobucket or iPhoto, still not fun!
And I also laughed when he said he had an emergency to "head" to! (Was I the only one who got that?
)
You were NOT the only one.....
My school board probably sits at Sea World in the bottom row with our school video cameras in tow.
I want to know why Captain Condom was concerned about adult, married (or at least partnered), with-kids, parents having unprotected sex....
Give us more trip report, please!
I hope you get some sleep and the kidney infection clears for good.
is waving goodbye and like an expensive call girl, is hoping to "see you real soon."
Hat that looked so cute at WDW in the magic mirrors (which do not show you your real size or how that hue of green only accents the acne on your face,) is now sitting slightly askew in the terminal and may not have made you look as cute as Britney does in her videos. It is even more off kilter in the plane because all the food you ate has caused your head to get bigger and when you touch down in Cincinnati - you are calling her a slew and asking her why she took advantage of you.
We buy one souvenir each while at WDW and we do not spend our money during the year eating out. Maybe 2 times a month at the most (Subway usually) but not weekly and not daily. 
were they thinking?
