DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[dpuck1998]

For my running friends. I need some cold weather gear, any suggestions?

 

[DVCsince02]

Sorry to hear about your Mom, Michelle. Tell her we are thinking of her!

 

[kimisabella]

George/Deb- Athens looks yummy! enjoy!

Brandie- how did it go? I hope you got it- we are all thinking of you.

about to head to a lasik consultation and possibly an exam if i like what I hear. I had it done 10 years ago when it was so new that my insurance didn't exclude it (and therefore covered it 100%!!!). Since then, my eyes have gone back to being horrible. So I need it done again and this time with a 'guarantee' of some kind. HOpefully before DAP so i can see you guys! Unfortunately mom's vision has not improved at all since her brain surgery. No peripheral at all and almost totally blind in one eye still. She may never get to drive again, she is pretty upset over it, considering she is retired and stuck at home all day alone. keep her in your prayers.

Michelle - sorry to hear about your mom, I am hoping this will improve for her. It must be frustrating for her to not be able to do the things she wants to do and be independent, driving a car, ect...

Hope you get good news on the lasik - they did give me a guarantee that my eyes would be 20/20, and so far, it has been great. I know down the line that I'll probably need glasses again at some point.

Well, I did the best that I could..now we just wait and see! They didn't seem to know how quickly they would be making a decision, but I hope it's soon. The first training class begins at the end of this month and I'd like to be in that one...The next one doesn't start until the end of November which means that I would miss a few days because of DAP. I did tell them that I would be out of town for a long weekend and they seemed to be okay with it so we'll see. Now I just wait...On the bright side, they are hiring 30 people for this department! That's more than they had originally told me...

Now to do homework...blech...

 

[mainegal]

I forget Brandie - what is this job that we are all cheering you on for?

Gander Mountain.
Oh! And start your run with a sprint....That will help warm you up.

 

[scarlett873]

It's basically a customer service position for an investment company.

It's basically a customer service position for an investment company.

I really hope you get the position & first training class!

Online I've found Roadrunnersports or running warehouse to be pretty good.

For my running friends. I need some cold weather gear, any suggestions?

I am not a runner.
I am an early morning walker.

Mornings have gotten colder and darker. My sneakers have mesh fabric, I think they are actually running shoes. But I am afraid my feet will get cold. I like that I can walk pretty fast in the sneakers .Not sure how well I will do in shoes and boots!

For dark, I have reflective stripes for ankles and wrists. Might need to add a vest.

Oh wait, did you need suggestions for type of gear? Here's my suggestions - a base layer and a wind layer. For my base layer I wear tights - running tights. If it's really cold I'll wear long underwear under the tights. Just make sure they are technical fabric not cotton. On my bottom I'll wear tights and wind pants. On top I'll wear tights, fleece, and windbreaker. Again, if it's really cold, I'll put an additional layer on of long underwear. Then I have a "balaclava" fancy ski mask type thingy and a hat and gloves.

She is a woman of Mystery and Adventure, daring to try new things, test proven methods, explore the world. She shares a kinship with the likes of Amelia Earhart and Jane Goodall!

Or...

She is a kid and wanted to see if she could pee standing up. Come on. I tried it once when I was a kid. Got pee down my leg and on my panties. Never tried again.

I remember trying this too. And teaching it to my little sister. My mom thought it was my dad.

I know...relax and be myself...but I'm still nervous! I have had butterflies in my tummy all morning!!

I know I'm late but good luck Brandie! I'm sure you did great!

Just got off the phone with the town by-law dept.
We can go ahead with a six foot wooden fence.
We can put it on the property line.
Owner of adjacent property does not need to be notified unless we want him to pay for half.
Those renters won't be happy, but I am!

We definitely need to put up a fence. We have the absolute worst neighbors! It's been really windy here. Pine cones have been blown from our trees into the neighbors yard and the crazy old lady next door has been throwing them into my driveway. When I come outside she hides behind her shed.

Well, I'm pretty sure mission accomplished. However, she is cleaning the bathroom tonight.

Been there done that. I actually had one that liked cleaning the bathroom. The good news is that it only lasts a little while.

well good luck- i hope you hear back very soon and get the first class you want!

so turns out my eyes aren't as bad as i thought.....who knew? apparently i am 20/25 and she said i wouldn't officially qualify for lasik- she said i was like borderline and that if it was her, she wouldn't do it. she said i should be able to go longer without needing reading glasses (i am nearsighted) past 40. so i guess good news!


Nicole- lol at the peeing thing. i can't say i ever tried it that i remember. but i was surprised to hear how many men pee sitting down too. who knew? who would want to know is the better question!!

Michelle sorry to hear about your mom.
I hope all goes well for you with your lasic consultation.
I would hate to be having it redone, but it's better than the alternative.
I have a friend that had his done more than 20 years ago and his are just fine.

 

[TXYankee]

Michelle,

I will keep your Mother in my thoughts. My heart goes out to her. Aging can be so difficult.

 

[Minnie Lor]

Awwww, you guys are the sweatest! You held off on the posts today because you knew that i couldn't join in. So sweet.

Brandie - I'll bet your glad that it's over. Now on to the waiting game. I'll bet you be chosen. I just feel it.

Michelle - I'm sorry about your mom. I can't imagine what either of you are going thru. All I can offer is a virtual hug and prayer.

Todd - how was you day on the roof?

Anne - are you trying to break a record? wow!

George - yummo! My favorite thing last year...okay my two favorites were the prailine bread pudding with whiskey sauce from NOLA and the Bobotie from S. Africa.

It has rained and rained here. Almost 5" since 9 am. I saw a truck hydroplane across two lanes of traffic. Glad to be home in my cozy house, in my sweats, munching till we start this all over again tomorrow.

Pine cones have been blown from our trees into the neighbors yard and the crazy old lady next door has been throwing them into my driveway. When I come outside she hides behind her shed.

That is and needs to be video taped.

 

[safetymom]

That is and needs to be video taped.

I agree!!!!

Good luck with your consultation. I didn't know you could have Lasik twice. I'm too chicken to do it once. I'd love the result, but I watched my brother's surgery and it freaked me out. You are a brave woman! I want to be more like you!

I'm sorry that your mom's vision is not improving. I will keep her in my prayers!
