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

I thought it was:
Can't live with 'em. Go to jail if you kill 'em.

There are days (thankfully not often!) when I would go to the death chamber or even just regular jail a very happy woman!

Jen-great news. Every bit adds up and it is good to get a break now and then.

Todd-glad you are safe from the fireworks show!

Snow in Minnestoa? Already? Aren't you glad you will be escaping for a bit?

Lasik is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I did it on April Fools day 2008. Unlike others, my eyes weren't horrible, but enough to need correction. It is so wonderful to wake up seeing and not have to worry about packing solutions and cases when I travel.

Quiet is sometimes good for us slower ones to keep up!

Since you seconded that I will third it, and I think that makes it a law.
Can't live with them, can't live without them.

you're too funny

 

[jeanigor]

Hi Katherine and Todd!

But what about everyone else...

 

[hideeh]

Hey Dodie- do you your iPhone?

 

[AnneR]

I am around tonight too. Had a little power nap while the girls played on the computer.

Modern Marvels does it to me everytime - snooze.

 

[katscradle]

Well, unfortunately, I am living w/o 'em. But what does my ticker say? 130? 129 to go? I just put it there so I can see it every once in a while. We'll turn around and do it again next summer, too. This war is taxing.

I am sorry I forgot you have a hubby in the war overseas.
I can't even imagine how tough this is for both you and you DH.

 

[katscradle]

Hi Katherine and Todd!

Hi Dodie!
How was your day?

Congrats on 3500!

I took my nap in the lobby at the doctor's office. Normally it refreshes me and I don't sleep that night. But I could go to be right now.

 

[mainegal]

When I had my eyes done, the doctor told me they could correct up to a negative 14. That was in 2001.

Whoa! Maybe I should re-think the lasik. Might be good to get out of contacts and coke-bottle-bottom glasses!

If it's after 3 I shouldn't nap. I would never go to sleep at night.
Glad you got your Bawb power nap in. Naps are good for you!

I think if I got all snuggled in a blanket I would be out for the night.

Of course there is Harry Potter on the Wii and fighting teenagers to wake me up.

I had my lasic done in October 2007.
It has been great!
Like getting a whole new lease on life.

 

[scarlett873]

Lasik was the best money I've ever spent on myself. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My vision was 20/800! EEK! I was a -6.5 in contacts. I'm now 20/20! Love it!

I have a bit of good news finally. My husband works in Philly. It's an hour commute each way. He was hired to work in Delaware, but things changed and in June he had to start work in Philly. The extra cost for gas, train, and subway tokens have hit us pretty hard, then he got city tax deducted from his check. UGH!

He's been asking for an increase to cover the city tax as others have received it, but not him. He's been asking since June.

Well, today he asked again and finally got the increase to cover the city tax! Woooo Hooooooo!

Woo hoo!!!

I had lasik done this past April, a few weeks before PCC 1.0 - it has been wonderful!

Last night I slept with the window open and snuggled into my bed and slept like a rock. It was cozy. For as much as I hate cold weather, the idea of being cozy is nice.

The shows can be fascinating, but sometimes the narrator's voice is a little too soothing!

I like Modern Marvels. Then again, I really enjoyed my tour last week of the factory that makes Chinet plates. Absolutely fascinating how they take pre-consumer waste paper, mush into a 400 degree slush and form it into paper plates!

Windows closed here. I like fresh air but cold air wakes me up. It has been getting down in the 40's at night.

It too cold here at night as well for the windows to be open.
The cold air would wake me up as well.

 

[mainegal]

Is there an age where it could be said I am "too old" for lasik?
What is the return on the investment?
(Cost / how many years left?)

 

[AnneR]

So...
I get an email tonight from La Quinta telling me what cities have double and triple points this month. I happened to notice the start date for my membership in their rewards program 3/7/09. This is a night/morning I remember well.

We, my DD you will meet at DAP, were staying the night before catching a 6:00 am flight the next morning for our first mother/daughter trip. I was very nervous because the next morning was when the clock's changed for daylight savings time. I drove the desk clerk crazy asking about their back up system because of the time change.

That night before going to bed DD and I had a discussion regarding whose cell phone to set as the back up alarm. We chose DD because my blackberry never seemed to change time automatically.

So, DD's phone goes of at 3:15, I take my shower, DD gets in the shower and I turn on the TV - you guessed it, at this time it was now 4:40. The shuttles to the airport run at 4:50 and 5:20 (we were to take the 4:50). I checked the phone - tried to call the front desk - no dial tone.

I rushed DD out of the shower but we missed the shuttle. Had to drive to the airport, got there at 5:15 and then had to wait in security. They would not let us through. As we finished security last call for our flight could be heard - off running we go - we ended up getting on the flight at 5:50.

So should I take the chance and stay at La Quinta again - 7:00 flight on the 30th??
