***Disney Design Addict's Chit Chat,Designs and Pixie Dust! Everybody WELCOME!*** Part 4

[Tinkaroo]

my3princes/Deb - PD and lots of prayers for your dad and family! How awful, but it sounds like he's on his way to a great recovery!

 

[Tinkaroo]

Uh oh --- this does NOT help the argument with DH! LOL

Lisa - I just got back yesterday. The most I wore one evening (I think it was Thurs - the same night Denise and fam were at the MVMCP) was a l/s thin t-shirt with a zip sweatshirt over it. No gloves or anything. I live in Dallas now, but grew up in Houston.

Things were getting warmer as we left, but I don't know what the long range forecast is/was. Hope that helps!!

Today must be goodie making day. In more ways than one. Sorry I had to do lots of because in Alpha Phi Omega, my coed service fraternity the running joke was always if you brought baked goods, "you got some". Not always the case but it still made me

On the same subject, congratulations Kevin, Amy and Alyssa. Now she just needs a shirt with that design to wear.

My3princes sending for your Dad.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of either. I like the Seahawks less though, so I was rooting for the Eagles. Regardless, it's just sad
We muted it and turned on Christmas music instead. I shouldn't be watching anyway

I know Steffy is watching but I think she just might have given up by now sorta looks like that one game this weekend score 70 to 3

I'm 8 pages behind, so I need to go back and read. I need a little pixie dust tonight. My Dad drives a dump truck and was hit by a freight train earlier today. The details are sketchy, it appears that the train only hit the last foot of the truck. It is a blind intersection. He has absolutely no recollection of the accident. He remembers eating lunch then he remembers being in the ambulance. We don't think he lost consciousness as someone helped him get out of the truck which was rolled over on the drivers side. He apparently stood there looking at the truck and talking to 3 guys until the ambulance got there, but he doesn't remember any of it. They still have him in a neck brace as radiology hasn't cleared his neck yet and that is where he is having a lot of pain. He also has a small brain bleed. They said that it is the smallest you can have that would show up. They are keeping him overnight and will do another CAT scan in the morning. It appears he was very lucky. Hopefully tonight will go well. Best case scenerio he has severe whiplash. The freight train was 25 cars long and they were loaded with road salt. Dad was driving a 10 wheeler which was fully loaded with sand. The impact flipped the truck. It is probably a good thing that he can't remember. This happened sometime between 12:30 and 1 this afternoon. I got a call around 2 and have been at the hospital since. He is in good spirits now (I think the morphine helps) and has been talking and even laughing during the evening. The owner of the truck came in and they were cracking jokes for the whole visit. Hopefully the bleed won't get worse and all will be ok. We spent from 3 PM - 8 PM in the emergency room then he was moved to a room. I will go back up in the morning to check on him.

I think that I need to write a song about this: "Grandpa Got Runover By a Freight Train" I'm sure that he would think that it was funny if the kids sang it to him.

I have to keep a positive outlook. Thanks for listening.

Deb

Oh my Gosh. I am so glad your Dad is alive. to your family.

Lisa, I'm not too far away from you and have to assume that as cold as it is here you will have warm jacket on for your trip anyway. We wore the warmest clothes that we planned to take then we didn't have to take up so much room in our luggage. Maybe you could dress in layers and wear fleece jackets then you'd be ok no matter what the weather.

We have a few years on you!!!

Our anniversary is 6/7/69 oldest DS b-day is 6/5/71 DD b-day is 6/11/74 youngest son b-day is 1/19/79 the first two were not planned I swear it just happened.

Hey tinkerbell you could be my mom. my bday 05/01/74

 

[Brendita]

Brendita, make sure you get a credit card in your own name, get as much cash as you can from any joint accounts before he becomes suspicious. Get a good lawyer - a woman lawyer sometimes will work better for a woman.

Not to worry the only thing we have joint is the house.
I have my own Disney Visa.
My own savings & checking accounts.
Not even the same bank.
I have $1600.00 in my saving.
I'm crossing my fingers on my taxes.

 

[Brendita]

Brendita -

I am so sorry that you are in this situation!! I am glad that you are standing up for yourself!

You might want to unsubscribe from this thread - then he can't find it and you still know where it is!!!

Sending you

I look at this way.
You all are the best outlet I have now.
If he reads this he will only read true statements.
I have so much on him.
I'm no worried any more.
Sent 4 hour @ court house getting papers ready.
I'm going to pay the money & file as soon as I file my taxes.
I need copies of his for child support.

 

[tinker1bell]

Hey tinkerbell you could be my mom. my bday 05/01/74

So, did I get my mothers day card? Am I going to WD with you?

 

[Brendita]

I'm really, really serious. We will coordinate everything around Brendita's arrival date. I will farm my DH and 2 DS out to my mom down the street so we will have 3 extra bedrooms and 2 queen size blow-up mattresses. I am a compulsive planner so you know I will start working out all the details.

Lynn

Lynn your making me cry.
Your a dear heart.
See ya this Summer.
P.M with areas to look for apt. & jobs.

 

[bear74]

Brendita maybe you can work some extra shifts. good luck on the taxes. I dont know if i can make Atlanta this summer.

Then, I'm sure you'll be okay sans the winter coats!

Whew, I think I am caught up! I can't remember everything from the over 100 pages I had to read today, but glad that everyone is relatively healthy and happy. I wished I had checked this thread while we were at the World, as I could have purchased you all sets of the Xmas Mickey ears! They were very cute - there were lots of other options, too. I bought a headband with Minnie ears with a sequined Santa hat between them!

For all of you going soon - how fabulous everything looks! I am envious - our trip wasn't all we thought it would be, unfortunately. SWA lost my suitcase for about 8 hours, our 1st night's sleigh ride at the WL got rained (no, poured!) out, and promptly after stepping inside the gates for the MVMCP on our 2nd night, DH had to head back to the WL with what turned out to be food poisoning! 6 hours later, we were in the ER for him, where I promptly began exhibiting the same symptoms! Needless to say, we saw more of the inside of our hotel room than I ever thought (or hope to see again!) on a WDW trip. We lost about 3 days - I just have to keep reminding myself that at least it wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us, and DH has already agreed that we will have to go back over the holidays soon in the coming years to experience everything properly!

I am now an expert on how to get to Celebration Hospital at midnight, where the 3 closest Walgreens are to WDW, and what CM's will do to assist you in getting over food poisoning. Here's hoping that none of you have to call on my expertise!

(And why, oh why, did you guys go through all the DVC stuff? I had no idea they were running these specials! DH has already agreed we will buy in sometime - now I'm wondering if we can do so sight unseen before Jan! )

 

[bear74]

Oh no!! I'm so sorry all of that happened on your trip!
You'll have to try it all again next time!

 

[Brendita]

I have but they don't show curly hair as an option - I think I will wait until she is a little older to get one - I think she will be really sad at Christmas when she doesn't get the doll though

I did sign her up for an audition for the AG fashion show - I just filled out a form -not sure what the criteria are!

Kate as talented as you are you could give the doll a perm.

 

[tink2020]

Goodnight all! In 12 hours my test will (hopefully) be over! Thanks for all the prayers and pixie dust.... if they could continue until about noon tomorrow then maybe I'll pass

See you all in the morning or afternoon!
