DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

I don't exactly understand how flatties could interfere with one's vacation, but that could just be me. I've done it before for people on other boards and never saw it as a chore. I'd take one or two pics a day so it wasn't a big deal. I always saw it as a selfless act for the people who were unable to go. I definitely saw it that way when I was taken on 1.0. It literally brought tears to my eyes because it was such a surprise and I wanted to go so badly. I felt very connected as a result.

But, with that being said, I understand people not wanting to have the "flattie responsibility." The point is to have fun while away and I hope you all do! In any event, Flattie Nikki already has her bags packed. Several people want to take her and she can't wait!

oh, it was definitely fun, in fact at first, it was like a challenge to try and get the cool pics. But i had three of my family members flatties, and it was hard to fit them in the bag first off, then I was pushing my mom in a wheelchair, so trying to fumble through the bags for the flatties while pushing her was hard. Then when she wasn't in a wheelchair, i was having to guide her as she walked, so it just was maybe a unique situation that made it harder for me to juggle all that. Maybe i had a compromised flattie experience?

You are right, it is a selfless thing to do and take the time out for and really makes following along at home when you can't go, a lot more fun!!!! I am so glad flattie Nikki will be joining us, i hope to see her at TSM 2.0! Maybe I can even get a coveted ride with her. She is very stylish, I hear. I really wish you could be there in person!!!

Ty Michelle. I hope I didn't touch a nerve. I just didn't really understand where you are coming from. I do now.

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Liz,

So glad you will be at DAP and Ethan will be with you! I am sure he will love CBR.

Keep an eye on your laptop!

See you there!

I will make sure I dont chage hotels this time. I cant wait to see everyone again. This time I can actually have fun and not worry.

Maybe I need to see a therapist, I hope that didn't sound bad or anything- it really isn't a big deal, just don't think i will do it again. I think maybe I have some flattie family resentment built up or something?

although it was fun to dunk my sister's flattie head in the martinis at the martini tasting. is that wrong?

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

I agree, Michelle. You get so involved with meeting people and doing things, that is was easy to forget your flat friends are getting squashed in your bag, or you forgot to change their outfit and they are wearing their formal gown on the beach, or their swimsuit in the dining room.

Hey there my flatties mama. (sorry couldnt resist) You did an amazig job with me but I can imagine it to be a bit time consuming. I am not a picture taker though. Our family did this thing were a different person had the flattie everyday so no one had the total responsibility of flatties trip. Worked out much better only having it for a day and not 8 days.

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Nikki I say we all pass you around and they we can talk about you and say you get around. Ha ha LMAO. (there I officially did it)

 

[Minnie Lor]

You all are a riot! It seems like I was going to ask a question or post a comment but darn it! I forgot what it was with all of this flattie talk.

 

[Minnie Lor]

Oh, now I remember. Nikki so sorry about the puppy. My 8 yr old lab has to stay confined in a small area for 12 weeks due to knees surgery. It's been a challenge. Maybe you could keep your puppy calm (not running, jumping, leaping) for at least a week and see if that helps. You can also give them baby aspirin but google the proper amount. (don't give tylenol or tylenol like - it can kill them) Lots of pixie dust for a complete recovery.

 

[*NikkiBell*]

ROFL...apparently that is how Flattie Nikki had the triplets.

 

[spaddy]

I'd suggest looking in your child's student handbook for attendance policy information. In our school district, that is in the beginning of the homework agenda which is handed out the first day of school. If you do not have that already, check the school website. It will be posted there.

Thanks that helped a lot. I was finally able to find it on their website. Our school district's website makes it impossible to find anything, but I was able to find it using the search function. Their policies are managable.

Torn ACL? My dog had surgery 6 weeks ago for a torn ACL. There seems to be a lot of that going around the DIS.

OK...I tried to look up flatties and had no luck. Apparently...it's not a funny thing. I wasn't laughing at "it". I was laughing because I have NO idea what it's about!!

I guess in due time, I'll figure it out.

I hope your puppy gets better!!!

Do a search on the internet for "flat Stanley"

Good idea, Don - it's not a Dis'ser thing, it's something the kids did in school for years... I had forgotten his original name!

 

[kathrna]

Morning Friends!

Morning all!!

Nikki, I hope that your puppy feels better soon.


I'm taking my 7th & 2nd grader out for 2 days for DAP (Friday & Monday). I figure as long as we advise the school, gather the necessary materials, DO the studies, we will be OK.

reposting because Nikki posted at the same time.

Yep! We're on week two (seems like week four) She had a traditional and just got stitches out this morning. I now get to sleep at night and not worry whether she's going to take her stitches out. I also get to leave the house anytime i want. Super We're still towel walking to take her out to do her business but she's been toe touching and putting some of her weight on it.

How is you dog recovering? De your's have TPLO, tight rope, or traditional?

The flattie thing...I had a blast with it during MF and PCC 1.0, but it seriously starts to interfere with stuff. I get so wrapped up in taking pics and posting them to FB...I just want to sit back and enjoy my trip.

Others can have at it with the flatties. I'm choosing to not do it this time.

My problem was I would forget to bring my flattie with me sometimes. I for got to bring her to DATW and Castaway Cay.

 

[maroo]

Please send PD. My puppy hurt her hip this morning and can't walk right now.

Aw...I am so sorry, Nikki! I hope she feels better soon!

Terrie - You are not alone in having no idea what they are talking about! Just in case you think that everyone knows but you...you have at least one person over here that has no clue.
