My mom (who is in our cruising party) is hypothyroid and has been on Synthroid for years. That and her morning coffee and she's up and running like the best of them.

That's good to hear.

Good for Logan! Does he like his job?

 

[purplern]

Glad your problem was diagnosed as well. Some problems well they aren't treatable like DISing or not being able to log off the DIS......

Thanks and soooo true!!

Logan really likes his job. He is approaching his one year anniversary there.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday. We had a cool front come through yesterday and our temps dropped into the 40s last night, expecting a high of 70 today. Last weekend we were close to 90! DD is has a Hawaiian dance recital outside tonight...bare feet and a swimsuit with a grass skirt. Too bad the weather couldn't cooperate!

I'm not getting any thinner, but my grocery bags and my dish towels are. Its crazy! I think the supermarkets are trying to see how thin they can get the grocery bags and how much they can cram in them w/o breaking them. I should start asking for double bagging. AND man my dish towels. I know I bought the $5.00 towel set from W-mart, but c'mon I might as well be using paper towels.

Where do you get your dishtowels from? I'm willing to invest in towels that will really absorb wetness and keep the kitchen items flake/ fuzz free. Hmmm.. this kind of sounds like a diaper commerical. Ewww I know, I'm still not typing well. My eyes are telling me to get away from the computer!

70's !!! I'd be out in shorts, flip flops, and maybe a sleeveless shirt! I'm freezing over here!

The 70s I can deal with, it's the 40s in the evening that isn't really conducive to wearing swimsuits and bare feet...especially without sun! It's gorgeous here today, I have the windows open, which we never get to do when it's scalding!

I do miss living on the coast from time to time. As a teen I loved having to not wear a jacket or be bundled up like my kids have to do b/c we're here in the midwest. 40's is pretty good too. Man, when it breaks 39 my heart just gets so happy. Its the little things that get me . Ya, 40's and swimsuit brrrr I'm not that brave.

Hey Everyone. Sorry i havn't been on in two days. MOM took over the computer. Yes, i love my job, i have been working there for ten months and they all tell me to get a haircut. It is awsome there and the people i work with are great. Most of my best friends there have been working there for over a year. (unless I got them the job)
Anyways, Does any one have a son or daughter into Video Games?

 

[Captain Logan]

Just incase anybody didnt no, I am the L in lct'smom. Also i am wearing the striped white shirt on my mom's signature(far Right)

 

[Luv2Travel]

Capt Logan - My 12 yo son is very excited about Kingdom Hearts II coming out. My 10 loves video games too, but it's the oldest who loves KH.

On the weather note, today basically ended our Spring Break. But what's more sad, is that we live in "the South" and it's been in the 40's and 50's all week during the so called "spring" break. It's 44 degrees this afternoon. . . . pitiful! Of course next week, when the kids are back in school, it'll get back to the 60's and 70's. It's not right!

Bring on Summer already!!!

just use one of their lines and say, "sorry I didn't hear you, could you repeat that?" Of course, they'll repeat what they just said, but you get the point....

Gee, I think some one's a little excited about Kingdom of Hearts...or is it the other way around, can't see your siggy line right now. I have no idea what it is, but goody for you.

O.k., here's a link for you computer savy folk esp. NJBill.http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ I tried copying the computer information so that I can see my local weather (see the next link), but I couldn't /can't figure it out. I'm supposed to be getting dinner ready as we speak. http://www.wunderground.com/geo/miniWeather06/US/IN/Avon.html
So, if any of you figure out how to post your local weather box in your siggy line, please let me know. I know I've seen few DISers w/ their little weather box and darn it, I want mine to show too!!!! HUmph!

here's the laguage they provided, how do I get it to show as an img??? ]<a href=http://www.wunderground.com/US/IN/Avon.html?bannertypeclick=miniWeather06">

*I posted a similar post over on the techie thread and was told I couldn't use the link b/c of the html. But there's got to be a way around it!

 

[taeja71]

O.k., I did some croc searching here on the DIS. Here's what I posted on one of the croc threads. BTW, how much are crocs in your area?

I looked at the website (islandsurf.com) and these shoes are growing on me. However, how sweaty, slimey, or smelly do you feet get wearing rubber when its hot out? Your thoughts? The flip flop version looks doable for me.

Here's what the UK forum had to say about crocs too http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1053573&highlight=crocs

Here's some of the results I found on the Comm. forum http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1018620&highlight=crocs

Tae Ja--I would try someplace like Linens N Things for dishtowels. I don't really know, most of mine are hand-me-downs from grandmothers. Sometimes you just can't beat the quality of the old stuff.

Captain Logan--my son is totally into video games, but forget him, I want Kingdom Hearts II! It's almost enough to make me buy a PS2--but not quite, because I don't have the money.

So, everyone, pray for me. We just got home from Disney on Ice. I wasn't going to go--why spend the extra money? We'll be at the parks in just 5 months--so I passed up the opportunity to buy tickets through Girl Scouts. But we ended up going, so we had to get tickets at full price. That worked out, though, because we had excellent seats. BTW, I was very impressed with this show, I've been to Disney on Ice a few times before, and I'd have to say that this one was by far the best. Also, the elephant and the carpet in the show are very, very similar to the ones in the Aladdin show at California Adventure. And I'm happy to report that our Ariel did not "die". Anyway, at the end of the show, the characters indicated that the kids should come up to the ice, so there was a mob. My daughter for some reason had the characters pass her over, and she didn't get to shake their hands. She was in tears! I explained that she gets to go to Disney and meet the characters so much more than most kids, and she said, "But they don't have the Fairy Godmother there!" She wanted to shake hands with the Fairy Godmother! She was really broke up. So I promised (I know, stupid, but what can you do when your little girl is crying?) that I would see to it that she got to see the Fairy Godmother this fall. I heard somewhere that the Fairy Godmother is at Cinderella's Royal Table, so I thought I'd try to get reservations--of course, we all know that reservations have been open for nearly a month now, so it will be impossible. But I've got to try! Keep your fingers crossed.

Hey- Dawn.. I think the Fairy Godmother goes to 1900 Park Faire, too.
Maybe you can try there?

I think she is at the dinner and she is inside the dining room not in the lobby like at breakfast.

Dawn, the Fairy Godmother is at 1900 Park Fare! When we did our first character dinner there, she was sitting outside the restaurant. I have an adorable pic of DD with her, the two of them just sitting together on this bench. We are going back in May, I'll let you know if it's still the same.

 

[LCTsMom]

TaeJa, I got some decent kitchen towels at the Disney at Home store at Downtown Disney. I had gotten some other Disney towels at the (now closed) Character Warehouse near our house, but they're awful. They REPEL the water, not absorb it. These new towels are much better.
