DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[kimisabella]

Thanks Kim- i think we will book GF for pedis!

Insoin- yes, good thoughts for your sister and her job situation. but good news on applying the money towards the house instead.

Baby- i think you are off to a better start already with that post. glad your friend is doing much better. it's sad that people still think it is okay to get plastered and drive and take other people's lives in their hands.

so- good news. I've complained about my job here many a times and it has not gotten better. I mentioned the whole thing where they were taking my 401K money out of my check, yet it was not appearing in my 401K account. yeah. totally illegal. My direct deposit has been late many times in the last few months. this is a small family run business that struggled this summer, and i know there was some accounting 'juggling' going on to move money around to pay bills. i guess my 401K $$ was part of that. so wrong. they've promised it will be in there on the next statement. I haven't taken legal action and won't unless it doesn't get put back, it is not worth the headache of legal action if in the end i get it back.

well the good news is i have a job interview somewhere else!!!!!! and it looks pretty positive- they are letting me skip the phone screen and go straight to in person interview. It is close to home, is a large corporation with great benefits (and tremendous growth) and they make deep brain stimulation devices that really make a difference in peoeple's lives, like those with parkinson's. anyhow- wish me luck. i really need to get out of this job- it is totally dragging me down in all aspects of my life!

Michelle - so excited for you, crossing all my fingers that this will be the one for you. I know how frustrating it can be in a job you don't enjoy. I hope your current employer figures out your whole 401k thing, what a pain in the neck!

Good morning to my new Dis Friends!​

I stayed up til 2 am reading a book. Not a best seller or anything just a book. I haven't done that in awhile.

It's a beautiful 72 degrees this morning with sunshine and very few puffy clouds.

I'm looking forward to podcast (wish we could chat while they were taping) and then chat tonight.

I've been getting my Disney excitement pumped up a notch the last two nights by watching Wishes! via a live web cam from BLT. Love technology and DSL wireless.

AHHHH...Wishes!! I wish I had a computer at home that would let me do that...stupid puter!!

Thanks to everyone, I'm still excited about DAP and the six days I will have so it's all good. The worst part is my sister and her job situation. She has not been laid off yet, but she is down to less than 20 hours a week if that. So I hope things turn around before she has no job at all.

And one good thing is I will take the money I already put down on the first art of the trip, it was two seperate bookings cause of how long I was going, and will be able to use that money for the house I'm trying to buy.

I'm so sorry to hear about that. I work for a non-profit that deals with homlessness and we're getting hit HARD lately...from all types of people. People who have degrees,masters,any and everything you can think of. Just tell her to hang in there and I'm sure something will pop up!!

Michelle- I meant to say one more thing to you about your post: I totally know how you feel about the whole 401k thing!! A new management company came in last year and took over the hotel I was working at. I had a 401K with the previous group. This new company said that unless we either worked over 1,000 hours or have been with their company for a year, we couldn't roll over our 401Ks!! Everyone was ticked...to say the least!! Especially in my department because we were laid off for three months due to reconstruction of the banquet room and things!! OOHHH!! We were so upset about that!! How is a company going to say you have to be with them for a year and no one had been with them?!?!

So..good luck to you and I hope good things come out of this for ya...again!!

Good Luck with the interview! I am sure you will do great.

 

[Madi100]

Good Morning everyone!!

I have some good news: My friend who was in the car wreck is doing alot better. Looks like he'll be out sometime this weekend or early next week.

Now...for the responses I've gotten:

It's funny how everyone starts out saying "please don't take offense to this" or "I'm not trying to be mean" and just come out and say what you say. You guys say I'm looking for attention and things. Well...why is it when certain people post about their day, problems in their life, someone dying on here, everyone else can respond and say how sorry they are and it's fine?!? But, if I do it..I'm looking for attention?!?? I just don't get it.

As far as the DAP thing, I've never booked a trip on my own, takin a flight, made ADR's, etc on my own. My in-laws are DVC owners...so all I ever have to do is come along. Everything is already done. If I ask questions, it's because I don't know or maybe I have researched it and I just don't understand something and everyone here..or at least it seems...to think that I'm being back and forth. Just because I may write it out how I feel doesn't mean that I'm wishy-washy. I'm sure alot of you go back and forth everyday with certain decisions/issues in your life. DO you post it?? Maybe..maybe not. But, I wouldn't call you wishy-washy.

It just seems like since this IS such a close, knit group of people..whether it be online and/or in person, some things are ok if it's one of you, but not someone new. This group can be a very intimitdating sometimes and yes...I can get overwhelmed by that. And I'm sure that none of mean to do that on purpose...just like I don't intend on being a pest on purpose.

So...I will take a different approach from now on on how I present myself to the group and what I say. I didn't realize some of things that I have said/done has been upsetting people. So...I once again apologize for my behavior. I will work hard to watch what I say and how I say it.

This post in no means, whatsoever, is a pity post. It's simply me responding back to what has been said to me in general. It seems like alot of you feel the same way as some of these posts and I'm sincerely offering my apologies. I will also watch my expressions with "LMAO" or things like that.

I hope everyone has a good morning/day/night and I will post if I know more about my friend and/or grandmother. To those who gave their condolences, thank you again.

Now...on to better topics...

Nikki~ You remind me of a techer I had in high school and did things like that all over her room!! It was soo uplifting to see that when either I entered or lfet her class for that day. I'm sure alot of your kids will feel the same way!! We need more teachers like you that care about the kids and the education..and possibly a lil more than that!! And you seem to be that Teacher!! Kudos!!

I'm glad your friend is doing better. Just one little note. I had a crappy day yesterday. I posted it on here. There were lots of people that responded, and it made me feel great. There were some people that didn't. The problem is not in you posting that you had a great day, a bad day, need some advice. The problem is that you post, "How come you're not replying" or "Is everyone mad at me?" You just have to realize that people get busy. Posts get missed. I'm really sorry that your grandma is not doing well and that your firend was in an accident. If I don't reply, it's because I missed it, I have other things on my mind, or I just didn't. It's nothing personal. For the several people that replied to me yesterday, they brightened my day. If I would have focused on the people who didn't post, I would have completely missed out on the opportunity to be encouraged by those that DID post. Nobody is telling you not to post and ask questions.

 

[insoin]

So sorry to hear this. I'm sure you will make the most of the six days. and you will have a great time at DAP.

Yup that is what I'm doing I'm happy I get to go to Disney World for six days, that is a good vacation.

Insoin- yes, good thoughts for your sister and her job situation. but good news on applying the money towards the house instead.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. And I work for a small family business; and we are having hard times too. But what has happend to you. WOW... I would be upset, and I think you are going about it the right way.

I'm so sorry to hear about that. I work for a non-profit that deals with homlessness and we're getting hit HARD lately...from all types of people. People who have degrees,masters,any and everything you can think of. Just tell her to hang in there and I'm sure something will pop up!!

Good luck, Michelle! I hope that it's all that you want it to be!

Today in NC it is a humid 87 degrees, sunny.

We (FINALLY) completed our re-fi paperwork (YEAH! ), so that is out of my hair. They were relentless in extra things that they needed. Everyday, something else. It was like working with Colombo! I told my DH that the next time he wants to re-finance, don't deploy in the middle of it! BTW, he is doing well and I just heard from him as I was signing papers. Two months down, six months to go!

Everyone have a great day!

 

[chickie]

Hey everyone,
I met with Becky last night to make some of our plans for DAP. We decided that since we were both childless (and husbandless) this trip, we wanted at least one really nice meal. We get in late afternoon on the 10th (Thursday), so we decided to have a nice dinner at Narcoosee's and then head over to see Yee-haw Bob with everyone. If anyone wants to join us, please say the word.
We are getting really excited about this and know we will have a blast!

Have a great afternoon!

So this is a bit off topic, but wanted to share...

As many of you know, my brother and his wife had a baby last week. Hard to believe that he's a week old already! I've been bitten by the photography bug and i'm trying to figure out photoshop. The one thing that I wanted to learn was how to add color to a black and white picture. Well...i've figured it out! Here's what I have been working on for the last hour or so...

This was one of my favorite pictures that I took of Ethan. We needed a picture for a scrapbook page that displayed close ups of Ethan's nose, fingers, and toes. He had his fingers all curled up so that I couldn't photograph them...so Daddy wrapped his fingers around his finger...I this picture...

You guys will love Narcoosee's! We had dinner there with Jen and her DH the night before the Podcast Cruise. It was THE best dinner that i've ever had on property!

 

[georgemoe]

Nice photo Brandie.

Have fun with Photoshop. I have a picture that I need to send to you when you learn how to remove stuff. You know. Extra lines and stuff.

I totally saw a different word than the above. Had to read it twice.


Nicole - Hope you are having a better day.

Terrie - I'm glad your friend is doing better. Hope your grandmother is better.

Michelle - Here you go again. I remember when you interviewed for the job you are in now. Best of luck!

Don - Good luck at work!

ADP - Where are you?

Paul - You home yet?

Todd - Hi!

George - How you doin'? (said with best Joey voice from 'Friends')

 

[guynwdm]

Ooh, I've been to a Merry Mixer! It was nice. I just stopped in for a few minutes for some cookies and drinks and the FREE GIFT (Christmas ornament).

Brandie - Put it on the spreadsheet!

Thanks George... I have DVC but never done those mixers. I will have to make time for it. Can always use a new pin. I am thinking I am going to be cash poor by the time the D23 expo is done. There are some great looking pins that will be there. I keep telling myself it is time to stop and step away from the pins.... Is there a pin traders 12 step group?

ok, I am stopping the hijack.

How precious! What a nice job you did, Brandie!

 

[jeanigor]

Kathy, I can't help but to continue to see the Grand Californian Villas in your signature....do you suppose that Doorway to Dreams will have a mock up of these rooms soon?

George isn't my DIS DH.........yet.

Was it duck breast? Is that a signature dish there?

Dooooon K Jen.

Hi Rob. Not a hijack at all. Never been to a DVC mixer here either. At least they have cookies. Since you mentioned you're attending D23, you are now our official "2011 Disney Dream intinerary information getter". They are announcing at D23. Please be on the lookout if it happens when you are there.

You can't mess with a masterpiece George!

Did you just call me a Rembrant? Awe.
