[bengalbelle]

OK people, I need help!

I have a really bad sinus infection, and I'm waiting for the nurse to call back to tell me if I need to come in or if they'll call something in. Anyway, my ears hurt and itch! Is there an at home remedy I can do for this? I'm going

Denise --

I can tell you that the crowds increased exponentially on a daily basis from 12/17-12/25. We had no trouble at all doing things at the beginning of our trip and by the end it was very crowded. Still got things done... just took a lot longer.

That being said... we will still go back again Christmas week next year!

BTW -- I thought of you at MCO on Monday evening. There was a young couple with identical triplet boys in the security line. They had on Elmo sweatshirts and were as adorable as they could be!

Thanks, Elin. We are really debating when to go. We are even considering going over Thanksgiving so that we don't have to deal with my in-laws at ALL!~

Thanks for posting that! I kept remembering (and then forgetting) to look for it

This is one of my favorites:

YOU KNOW YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S IF.....

· You wore that rainbow shirt that had half-sleeves, and a rainbow that went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

· You made baby chocolate cakes in Your Easy Bake Oven. You washed them down with snow cones from Your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

· You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.
· You owned a bicycle with a banana seat, handlebar streamers, and a basket.

· You owned roller skates with metal wheels. (Maybe even the one's that attached over top of your shoes!)

· You thought Gopher from The Love Boat was cute. (Admit it!)
· You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

· You had rubber boots for rainy/snowy days - remember Moon Boots?
(Then you advanced to Duck Shoes in the 80s.)

· You had an orange Tupperware lunchbox, or a metal Muppets lunchbox with matching thermos.
· You had either a "bowl cut" or a "pixie", not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill". How traumatic when people thought that you were a boy.
· Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.

· You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

· You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon. (of course Nancy got it!! )

· You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple shredded outfits.

· You spent hours out back on your metal swing set with the trapeze.

· You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

· You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle).

· You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really badly. You wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!

· You wanted your first kiss to be at the roller rink.

· Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" and You kept it "pretty" with the rainbow/purple/pink plastic comb you kept in your back pocket.

· You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as who her friends; Blueberry Muffin, Apple Dumpling, and Huckleberry Pie were.
· You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.

· Every now and then "It's A Hard Knock Life" from the movie, "Annie" will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.
· You had Star Wars action figures.

· It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!

· You had the "Wizard of Oz" doll set , too.

· You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

· You asked your Magic-8 Ball the question: "Who will I marry...Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?"

· You completely wore out your "Grease", "Saturday Night Fever", and "Fame" soundtrack albums.

· You tried to do lots of arts and crafts things, like yarn and Popsicle stick God's Eyes or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.

· You made Shrinky-Dinks!

· You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape recorder up to the speaker.

· You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club.

· You learned everything you needed to know about girl's issues from Judy Blume books like; "Are You there God? It's me, Margaret."

· You thought Olivia Newton John's song, "Physical" was about aerobics.
· You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.

· You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

· You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

I decided to bold everything that applied to me - and realized I really only need the Snoopy snow cone machine and Wizard of oz dolls!!!!

AMEN! I think I had all of it too!!! Especially the Dorothy Hammill haircut. I had the DH ice skating doll and rink too. She was cool!

 

[tinknme]

I was thinking about having a design made for us to wear one day. There will be 7 us, just not sure what to have on it.

That's awesome! Have a great time. You need to make shirts!

Feel better soon!

 

[triplefigs]

I am going to go read in a bit - but I wanted to post - so I had to make a choice!!

I feel REALLY bad for Denise - here she has probably had a bad day and will come home to a gazillion pages to read -

I know you were all were just trying to irritate me - but you actually probably ended up hurting Denise who is probably tired and worn out and was looking forward to coming on here tomorrow and chatting with us and celebrating 20,000 - but now on top of having to spend a horrible day with her MIL - she missed it - I bet you all feel like crap now!!!

HA! It's taking me forever to catch up. Y'all picked the wrong day to go chatty on me!

Oh Dawn - I am so sorry - sending you tons and tons of Pixie Dust

YOu should take dayquil and motrin and have a nice large glass of whine - oops I mean wine with it!!

I hope they call soon and get you meds!!

 

[itslisa]

I can't believe I hacen't posted much about my trip yet -- just in "catch up" mode all the time. LOL

OK ... we'll go straight to the BEST moment!

Yes! Benjamin was chosen to be KING OF THE REALM! I swear my knees nearly buckled under me! (sad but true!)


DH and I had a bit of an argument on our first day at MK -- the day Ben was wearing his King Arthur shirt .... and we never made it over to the show. The second day we went, I was determined.

We went over about 10 minutes before the show. At first, Ben didn't want to. He was sad and said that Merlin never picks him and it makes him so sad. (what can you say to that!) Somehow, I convinced him to give it ONE more try.

This particular day, the three of us had on the bubble letter shirts that Kate created. When we got over there, Ben HAD to try to pull the sword out. Of course, no budge. I called him down. We had a quick talk about what I had learned here. I told him to be as still as he could. To watch the show - and enjoy it. Oh, and I HAD made a scrapbook page for Merlin!

OK ... so we handed Ben the clipboard with the Merlin page. I told him to hold it facing OUT. About halfway through the show, I took it from him (didn't want his hands to NOT be free). He was amazingly still throughout the show. (I have never seen him this still for this long!)

And then it was time to choose. My DH tried to point out Ben! I swiftly but discreetly pulled his hand down! And then he was PICKED!! I swear, my knees nearly buckled under me --- I was SO excited for him!!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

My DH just said, "I have SHOES older than her!!!"

Lisa -- That is one of my DH's favorite sayings!

 

[triplefigs]

Bartended tonight and tips sucked. Not much action in the lounge. Everyone apparently was there to eat. . People just don't drink as much as they used to.

Deb

That would not be the case when the DDA gets together!

 

[itslisa]

I was thinking about having a design made for us to wear one day. There will be 7 us, just not sure what to have on it.

I like the bubble letters! They work wel for boys and girls. We put the name on front and WDW on the back.

 

[itslisa]

That would not be the case when the DDA gets together!

Not as long as we were in a hotel bar and only had to stumble UP to our rooms!!!! We can hire babysitters, right?????

 

[PNO4TE]

ELin -

I missed you - I am glad you are back!!!

Thanks, Kate! I missed you and the others a lot too. The T-shirts were a BIG hit everywhere we wore them. More on that later...

 

[triplefigs]

The "uncle jesse" was Full house uncle jessee!

Thank goodness. I was just visualizing old Uncle Jesse with Cooter watching in the corner...

See....I didn't think it was noticably bad until the 24th. We followed TGMs "best day" calendar and his tour plans.

We would go the 16-22 of December of go over Thanksgiving.

 

[triplefigs]

Denise, you're back. How did it go?

Deb

Well all the prayers and PD worked! It went perfectly, and needless to say, DH and I were so relieved. Nothing was said, everyone was pleasant, the kids had a ball. The best part is we went to visit DH's grandmother (she has Alzheimer's) in the Assisted Living Home. They were all having a sing-along. Well my kids just jumped right in, did a "show" for all the people there, danced, did tumbling exercises. Then they all 3 proceeded to go around the room at least 3 times and give every single resident a huge hug and kiss, sit in their laps, etc. You have never seen a group of old people with bigger smiles and you could just feel the love exploding in that room. The kids had a blast and kept saying they loved playing with all the grandmas and grandpas. My DH was in heaven. It turned out to be a perfectly lovely day, and I am so grateful it did.
