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

[hideeh]

What is that? It sounds so very very decadent - I want one too!!!

Bad weather in Buffalo ? really????

Marilee think Caramello but with creamier milk chocolate.

Bad weather in Buffalo?! The pictures you posted last week when Anna was getting hit? I remember that weekend very well. My assistant at the time had just been married and was trying to fly out of BUF for her honeymoon. Unbelievable amount of snow for middle of October. No thank you. We are a little further from Lake Erie than you, so we don't get hit quite as hard.

MAROO

Feel better Kat.

You are lucky you can still take any sweets in. Most Schools are banning these items out of Liability concerns.

We're really not supposed to bring any sweets in, the principal wants a "healthy snack", but, ultimatley it's up to the teacher to decide if she is going to allow it or not. Last month, on Isabella's birthday I brought in banana muffins, still sweet, but, it's no cupcake!!! I just feel that it's not like they have cupcakes everyday, it's a special occasion, and they still are only just kids. So, if the teacher is allowing it, I'm going to take advantage of it.

I would do it if they allow it. I have a friend who teaches 1st grade in our local schools. They cannot have any candy, cookies, cakes of any kind as the school system has banned them.. So no more holiday parties or birthdays or anything in their school. She use to keep a candy jar on her desk as a reward and she had to stop doing that.

Time for 90 minutes in a dentist chair. Oh boy.

Good luck, Jorge! I hope that it goes well. --or at least as well as a dentist visit can go.

I can't believe they banned all parties, that's crazy, the poor kids.

I can see both sides of the situation regarding the sweets. I understand the school doesn't want to be liable for allergies, ect. and they want to cut down on childhood obesity. However, these are still elementary school children and for some, they only really celebrate their birthdays with their class, so it's sad that they don't get to have a fun celebration.

The principal has provided a list of alternatives to cupcakes - fruit kabobs, popcorn, pirate booty..which is all fine and good, but it's just not the same

 

[spaddy]

Yep, just north of about 2 1/2-3 hrs. We sometimes fly out of PIT if the weather looks like it could be bad in BUF.

Ok, I get it now. You live near Whirley?

I agree that it is sad that they have begun eliminating the fun things I can remember about school. I always looked forward to the parties as a child. We had a girl in our class who was diabetic and her mother always made sure she had something she could enjoy on these special days, thus not to be left out.

 

[chirurgeon]

oh and one more thing.....

I am eating a Sarris Creamy Caramel chocolate bar and thinking of Kathy!

shhhh....don't tell Elyse I took it out of her Halloween candy bag!

Heidi, I didn't know you were from Pittsburgh.

Good Luck George. I oddly enjoy the dentist.

They are starting stuff like that around here. I agree that they are only kids and they have to learn moderation sometime. I guess if there are allergy concerns I can understand that. They don't allow cupcakes at my son's preschool because they are too mess so I usually send cookies on his birthday or this year Krispy Kremes.

I like the Krispy Kreme idea! I know that Dunkin Donuts will do special donuts in the shape of numbers, if you go in ahead of time and order them. They are kind of expensive though, well over $1 each, so times that by 18 kids in the class, not very cost effective when a box of cake mix and frosting is like $1 each on sale

 

[chirurgeon]

Baby it now, or you will be in no shape for DAP.
Glad it's just a sprain.

Thanks Katherine. I even brought my grandmother's old cane with me to work today. It helps with the walk from the bus to the office.

Heidi, since you are so close to Erie, I'm sure you know what bad weather is like. One winter I was driving back from Buffalo and just as I made that left at Erie, I hit a wall of snow that went all the way to I-80. It was so much fun driving on I-79 at 25 mph in a blizzard. I didn't dare stop, my little red car only had front wheel drive. I loved that little car.

Oh, that sounds like fun. The Dunkin Donuts are not very advanced here. They just opened a new one about a year ago and before that there was 1 in about a 25 mile radius. When we go to New Jersey I think you pass 3 between my inlaws and sister in laws. It's about 5 miles.

Take care of yourself.


Now I am really dying for a Sarris chocolate bar.

Hope it goes by fast George.

Good afternoon all,

I am running around like a mad man today. Dropped Pam, Otto, MIL, and FIL off at the airport this morning (traffic was miserable). They should be landing at MCO in about 30 minutes. I fly out tomorrow night. I don't get in until 12:30AM and the plan is to be at MK for rope drop and have dinner at Chef Mickeys. I'll be a peach by then.

My current crisis is that my dry cleaner had a death in the family and is closed today and tomorrow. Of course, most of the clothes I was planning to wear for dinner on the cruise are at the dry cleaner. I may have to run to the mall after work tonight to grab a few shirts.

I'll try to find a few minutes to stop by chat tonight.

Welcome back Anne!

 

[3guysandagal]

Hi peeps!
Thought I would stop in and see what's happening.
Kat is in bed napping, had to leave our hunt early today as she couldn't stand the chest congestion any longer in the cold air.
It was 30F this morning when we went out and she lasted about an hour.


Oh, and just had to add that I can't believe she was DISing on her watch the other day.......

Thanks Scott.

Safe travels and enjoy your trip. FYI, I did not do a single rope drop, we did not find the crowds that unmanageable.

Well, you can see where her priorities lie....

Safe travels and enjoy your trip. FYI, I did not do a single rope drop, we did not find the crowds that unmanageable.

I hope we can still say that in 5 weeks...

 

[Madi100]

Good afternoon everyone! I look forward to the day when this moving stuff is behind us, and I have all day to just DIS. Surely a newer bigger house will clean itself. And we will have two washers and dryers and I'm sure one of them will have to be able to work on their own, right???

 

[3guysandagal]

Just posted over on the Theme Parks board where people were discussing Pop Warner this year.
Some refered to them as "meandering hoardes."
I informed them that there will be another group of meandering hoardes to be aware of at that time......

DISers!!!!!
