First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Eight is Enough, more than enough

[Launchpad11B]

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your hugs and support.
However my B father and I are not close.
Things will not change between now and when he passes.
Certain things in life you cannot change, just learn and continue on.
However things have changed on the home front.
We are worried right now as John has tried to do too much too fast.
We may have to make a run to the emergancy room tonight or tomorrow.
Have already talked to the nurse.
Now it's a watch and wait situation with him.
I cannot go until I know he is in good shape.
John has always been first on my list of priorities.
My family has never thought much of that, but so what.
The last few years the relations have been such that when people ask about my family it consist of John and the 2 boys.

The first post I read this morning has my main man John hurting! Katherine, tell that guy to stay down and heal up! We need him at full strength for the trip in May! I'm a bad patient as well so I understand his frustration about following Doctors orders. Give him a stack of Disney & Pixar movies to keep him busy. In all seriousness, take care John and get well soon. We miss you around here.

Dara (and Mindy), I'm so sorry you are having to deal with "drama" about what should be a fun event for everyone involved. Boys!!! I just don't understand them. There is a reason I am still single.

That hurts my fragile sensibilities.

Good Sunday Morning!

Just getting caught up here.

Dara I hope all works out for you. We're here for you.

Katherine good Luck! Being a difficult patient, I can understand how John feels. I had shoulder surgery a few years back. Being laid up for 4 weeks followed by months of PT did not sit well with me. Rest? What's that?

I love Lands End bathing suits. They are well made and hold up. Remember, you can all buy them at Sears. My local Sears is finally getting in a decent selection. I need to pick up another one before the cruise.

Shoulder reconstruction two years ago for me Kathy. That was a rough few months. It still sucks most of the time. Thank god for motrin!! The doctor says if you don't want it to hurt, don't use it! Gee thanks doc. I'll sit on the couch for the rest of my life!!!

That's part of the problem he misses you guys too.
I have strated to read the post to him.
Hopefully that will help.

Good Morning everyone!

I really like the 1st one too.

I haven't worn a bathing suit since the early 90's! This is the one I've tentatively picked out. I have no idea what it'll look like on me though. DM thinks it's a good choice so that's good enough for me. (Mother always knows what's right for ya!) Anyway, I don't know what all we'll be doing while at CC so I want to be sure I'm comfortable....

That's the style that I usually really like! I just couldn't find one...

I didn't even need to go shopping for swimsuits. I've got 2 already, but DH informed me that he hated both of them... He disliked the colors in one and thought that the other one made me look like an old lady or something...

So I humored him and went shopping for new ones

Good Morning everyone!

Good Morning Kat - don't forget we're worried about you, too. I understand dealkng with family illnesses when other life stresses come calling at the same time...

Tell John "At least you don't have a bleeding nose. Two bowls of SPLIT PLEAsoup to go, eh!!!"

 

[scarlett873]

Wow. Now I know why I had this urge to get online tonight. My DIS buds were concerned about me. Lisa sent me a PM on FB so I thought I better come over here and set your minds at ease.....

So, yeah, I had the DH talk. I was a nervous wreck all day yesterday and just couldn't come on here. I waited for DH to kinda initiate the conversation after he got home but when he didn't, I did. He said, "Say whatcha need to say and be done with it." *sigh* Not a good start. Anyway, to make a long story short, I did most of the talking and got it all out in the open. Did it solve anything? Not really. Not yet anyway. I think he needs a bit of time to process it all. (That's ok. I'll give him 1 week.) As of right now, he's (grudgingly) going on the trip. Not sure that's a good thing though. What's he gonna be like? Is he gonna ruin it for me and DD? I wish I could share a lot more about this with you guys but DH thinks all I do is talk about him behind his back to you guys as it is. (For the record, I never talked about DH until recently and I really haven't said much.) If you haven't guessed already, DH really hates it when I'm DISing.

Well, it's taken quite awhile to compose this. I had to keep editing because I felt I was divulging too much info. All is ok though. Time will tell. I'll keep ya posted on any progress (or lack there of).

Thanks for thinking about me guys!

I don't know if it's going to make you feel better or not, but yours is NOT the only "difficult" husband getting brought on this trip.

I only recently got him to agree to come. Gave him the ultimatum with the airline tickets, then "accidentally" ran into him by the AAA office and told him it might be a good idea to get a passport pic while we were there. Yeah, I know, I'm devious.

I swear I'd have a better time without him, but if I went without him, I might as well not bother coming home. He'd be impossible to live with.

He's not a bad guy...just different.

Hang in there. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Find a way to enjoy your good fortune, and ignore the bad.

Dara (and Mindy), I'm so sorry you are having to deal with "drama" about what should be a fun event for everyone involved. Boys!!! I just don't understand them. There is a reason I am still single.

I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth here. If I were still married to my ex, I would probably be dealing with similar issues. Not to the degree of not being able to come home afterwards or anything, but he was anti-social...never paid me a compliment, even when I fished for one, and rarely told me that he loved me unless I initiated it. I always felt it was just a response...not a genuine feeling. We had hit the point of taking separate lives...he was a workaholic while I was more of a social butterfly, so to speak. I realized that I needed certain things from my spouse towards the end that I just wasn't getting...it kinda sucked.

In steps Matthew. I hit the jackpot with him...we've known each other since high school and even with a 10 year gap in our relationship, we picked right back up where we left off. He knows that I need to hear that he loves me...and that he thinks i'm beautiful...he knows right when I need a little boost in the self-esteem. He is just amazing...don't get me wrong though...he used to give me a hard time about DISing so much, but he hasn't said much since I found the podcast forum. Now he just teases me...lol...he's done the online community life before so he understands my addiction...

And to this day...I REFUSE to say I love you too...and he remembers what I had told him about my previous marriage and the I love you toos...he won't say it either!

He's a keeper and I hope that anyone who's looking for their perfect match finds someone as amazing as my DH. You just can't have mine... You guys will love him when you meet him...just don't LOVE him

And for the difficult husbands...I wouldn't worry about them too much...shove 'em into a deck chair and come play with us!

Hang in there Kat!! Tell John that we hope he's feeling better soon!!

Good morning peeps.

Watched the bluray Pinocchio last night. OUTSTANDING! I love the new Disney View borders they are using for the non widescreen pictures. The trivia game is pretty cool as well.

[katscradle]

Hi Kath. Hope John is feeling better this AM.

Yes He is feeling a bit better this morning.
I have been reading the posts to him.
He wants to know why everyone thinks he is a
canadian redneck?

So when I meet him I shouldn't hug him for more than 10 seconds?

Brandie, you and I lived a very similar life for awhile. I also saw the light and got out. While I have yet to meet the man I am meant to be with, I know who I am not suppose to be with. In the mean time, I try to live my live to the fullest doing the things I enjoy.
