[sugaswim]

so yesterday i learned that disney was building 5 new hotels back in about 2001. but when september 11th happened they stopped and never went back to building them. i think the guy that told me was proud of himself that he knew something about disney that i didn't know

I had stressed myself out so much about my DD missing 7 days of instruction. When I dropped off the letter today they said she can do an Independant Study Contract. Don't ask me what it is. I signed the papers saying she would make up the work and they said as long as she does the work the absences won't count as missed. They said it is only good if you are missing 5 or more days though.

That's awesome Lori

Hey, I'm checking back in again . . .

Thanks for the Ramsey update - I haven't seen a TV in weeks.

Hope everyone's children are doing better - we only have 2 1/2 weeks !!!!

And now that everyone's gone to bed . . .
I have a question:

Are you taking any good jewelry - like your diamond engagement ring? Or are you just wearing a wedding band?

I always wear my engagement ring, so yes I am taking it. I had no problems last year, probably because I only take it off when I am doing yardwork or housework
I also brought my pearls last year, I just keep them in a nondescript little case out of plain sight.

Posting from work again. Is that what we call addiction?

Just ordered my books for school. $513.05! It came to 479.49 before tax...that's 33.56 in taxes! Sheesh! Course that's on the basis that they are all new...I put down if they have the option to go with used so hopefully it will go down significantly when they process it. *Crosses her fingers* I had to transfer money from my savings to my checking to order them because I have to pay for them and then I get a refund a couple weeks after school starts. But I had just transferred the money like 10 minutes before I hit the submit button and I thought to myself what if the transfer didn't go through yet and it bounces?! I got so scared...even though they probably wouldn't process the order until at least tomorrow...but I checked anyways and the transfer did go threw. Phew!

well, they'll make excellent booster seats for your kids some day...

I don't know, but I am dragging DH.

I should get back to work. My patients are probably wondering where I went.

I've heard of that before only in California. We don't have that here

Hey did you order anything fromDisney shopping Huh HUh I won't tell anyone

What were you buying? What a PITA this person sounds like. Can you plaster her name on here or is that not allowed? If you can do it we can all go over to the budget board and family section and worn them. She will figure out she messed with the wrong people.

It was a kayaking antenna topper. Her name is Cynthia Pirie her ebay name is groupersnapper.

LMAO Do you have any specific questions? Or are you just absorbing what I love about it?

Oh, one more thing--make sure you buy as many points as you think you'll use. Everyone always says I wish I had bought more points. They will go up in price, they always do, and if you don't buy what you need you'll end up paying a premium for more. Of course, just about everyone who buys ends up going more often because they're addicted. Also, *buy at the resort where you think you'll stay* because it can sometimes be difficult to get a reservation at certain resorts at certain times of year. You can buy a DVC membership on resale and get a good deal, but Disney has the right to buy any resale at any time, so if it's a GREAT deal they might take advantage of that. You can use your points for cruises but it's a much better deal to pay cash. I like to use my points at Disneyland. Since DVC got a presence there, the points required to stay have come way down, and it's really quite reasonable now.

Another thing I love is that some of the resorts have Grand Villas that can accomodate up to 12 people. We could have a whole heap of family join us if we wished! And DVC resorts are actual resorts--if you hated Disney, you could just go and hang out at the resort. There are activities, and there's a spa at Saratoga Springs. There are (overpriced) stores and arcades. I tried to get the family to spend a day just at the resort, but I guess we're still in love with Disney.

Thanks if I think of any questions I'll ask.
