From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 4

[LindaBabe]

WHEW! Narrow escape Corinna! CONGRATULATIONS!

The news just reported the arrest of a young man in Oregon who thought he was blowing up a tree lighting ceremony in Oregon. Luckly for us, some intrusive organization in our government was able to stop it and save lives. So, while I find the the TSA business at the airport annoying and wish for the pre 9-11 times, I'll put up with them, the nice ones and the creeps, to at least feel a little safer - whether I am or not.

However, since most of us with be flying the friendly skys soon, thought you might find these new TSA bumper stickers worth a smile:

CAN'T SEE LONDON,
CAN'T SEE FRANCE
UNLESS WE SEE YOUR UNDERPANTS

GROPE DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE

IF WE DID OUR JOB ANY BETTER,
WE'D HAVE TO BUY YOU DINNER FIRST

DON'T WORRY
MY HANDS ARE STILL WARM
FROM THE LAST GUY

WE ARE NOW FREE
TO MOVE AROUND YOUR PANTS

WE RUB YOU THE WRONG WAY,
SO YOU CAN BE ON YOUR WAY

AND LASTLY

IT'S NOT A GROPE
IT'S A FREEDOM PAT

You have got to laugh about all this stuff!

ITS OFFICIAL!!!!!!

CRUISE DOCUMENTS ARRIVED TODAY.

​

Congratulations to all those that have received docs. I just checked our mailbox and was 'DIS'appointed to not have ours. I am sure they will get here soon though.

Afternoon all. I am totally amazed at the difference a few weeks has made in DMIL - amazing. She is so much more her old self and was awake for our entire visit this morning. Now our afternoon visit was during her nap but I am just so pleased from this morning (and last night too actually) that I can hardly stand it.

Glad your MIL is doing better.

Harole-Ann - great news about your DD - We were sending you pixie dust for good news, you deserve it!!!

These are too funny. I would love to share with friends if possible.

Well, what a difference a few days make. The move is off.

In the run up to the Transatlantic cruise, I made friends with some people who were on the cruise and live in Dubai. I had emailed them before I went to Dubai in the hope to meet up with them. They happened to be on holiday, but emailed me on Wednesday. They raised a few issues that put me on high alert and prompted me to ask further questions. I also did some research online and I did not like what I found out through either.

This should have been a fairly straightforward transfer and I should have kept my seniority and all the length of service related benefits. By asking a few questions, I found out that they see this as a completely new employment and I would lose all the benefits that I have worked so hard for including my profit share. This was totally unacceptable to me.

I also found out that it is normal practice that you are shown your accommodation during the interview process. This did not happen. I was just given the name of the area where I would be housed. When I googled this, I found out that this is essentially an industrial estate and that most of the residential aspect of this are labour camps. They had kept rather quite about this as well.

Needless to say, I turned down their "generous" offer yesterday and I am staying put where I am.

Aw Corinna,

So sorry, I know you were so excited about this. But at least you found out BEFORE you moved. What an amazing help your friends were and so glad you found out more on google. I swear, what would we do without the internet.

On Thanksgiving, my little 19 month old niece fell and literally indented her head on the metal railing of a bed. I thought for sure we would have to take her to the doctor's. I remembered an old wives tales about a sticky concoction that helped my then 1 yr old son (who tripped and fell on some cobblestones and got a massive head bump) not have a bad bruise or concussion. Anyway, my aunt who was there at the time put some egg whites and salt on him and he got no bruise or swelling the next day. Well, believe it or not, my oldest DD googled it and we put some egg whites on the goose-egg. She would not let us put the egg membrane on it so we just put the egg whites on it. Believe it or not, she does not have a bruise. This is amazing because as soon as it happened. Her forehead - just above her left eyebrow - was swollen the size of an egg and you could see the blood rushing to the area. We kept putting on the egg white and watched her and she was fine. Next morning momma reported - no bruising. So....my point to the story - thank God for googling as I couldn't remember exactly what it was that made up the sticky homeopathic remedy but Google did. Google works just has to be asked right.

Sorry the move is off for you. You seemed excited at the prospect and opportunity. Glad you found all that info out before accepting the job though!

 

[Tami0220]

Wow, close call, Corinna. Good to find out now.

No cruise docs for us. Do they come US mail in the states?

I cant wait. I'm not a patient person.

Thanks again Val for all your coordinating efforts.

Thanks TigfanJeff for all your updating!

I'm so pleased you found all this out before you landed there. As someone said, a close shave, but you must still be disappointed.

 

[sak0526]

doorbell rings. DS says "Mom small package arrived!!" growing excitement!!!

it's proactive for DD2. sigh. good for her, prednisone over long term does a number on her but not good for me.

That sounds scary. I am glad that your niece is OK.

Funny enough, I am not really disappointed. I am relieved that I had such a narrow escape and also angry that they were trying to screw me over.

Now I can just concentrate on Christmas and the cruise preparations. I just ordered a whole lot of materials for my Fish Extender gift.

I also ordered my dress for the vow renewal from my favourite seller in China today. I can't wait to hold it in my hands, but this will probably be after the cruise as it is made to measure and then has to be shipped from China.

Well that is good you aren't disappointed.

When are you having your vow renewal? Now that is exciting, and of course worthy of a lovely new dress!!!

We are having our vow renewal during our Mexican Riviera cruise on the Wonder in October. I have the shoes and the ribbon veil. The flower
girl dresses have been chosen and will be ordered in spring. I have narrowed down the possibles for the new wedding rings to two styles. I also have the magnets taken care of and had a special Fish Extender made.

I have a planning journal here, that has photos of the various bits and pieces:

Posted on page 1 Post 2.

The "Contact" information from DVCinderella has also been posted on page one. If you have information about other suppliers, please pm me and I will add it to that post.

Thanks for posting this Linda!

Corinna- congrats on the job offer!

Sorry, I've been MIA for a while. DH's power cord for his laptop broke and a day later mine did too. Add in Thanksgiving travel with 2 toddlers and my baby girl's 2nd birthday and I'm still trying to catch up! Have a great day everyone!

OOPS! Just finished catching up. Corinna- I'm so sorry the job didn't turn out to be what you expected but I'm so glad you found out before it was too late.

 

[Pixie Dust II]

My heart is broken today. My sweet little Bichon Frise, Murphy, passed last night. We had him for 15 years.

Please give all your furbabies hugs for me.

JUDY

I am so sorry for your loss! I know how you feel.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I could use some pixie dust here for me. Spent yesterday morning at the Dr. office. THey are doing some tests - I have had stomach pains for 2 weeks and they are trying to figure out what it is. Hopefully something simple and easily cured!

Pixie dust for you

THe turkey is in the oven and I am about to go set the table for my family. Blessings to everyone as we start this holiday season!

Here you go!

Blessed Friday to all...



Wow...fantastic news! Was there anything exciting in the packet? Our last cruise document set was uninspiring except for the luggage tags! I remember our excitement of getting the 'big' envelope! Will now watch the street for UPS!



Morning Linda!!



We loved HP7.1, though it is L-O-N-G! Hope you enjoy it and don't have the crowd issues -- we're really spoiled with movies at home (we had a family at HP7.1 that talked throughout it, ugh "who is that? what does that mean? think something will happen next?"...so I 'shhhhhh'd' them!)



Hi Lisa, you stalk CT & I'll stalk TX!!


Weather is much cooler... ....time to put up the Christmas tree & decorations, then special dinner & play "The SantaLand Diaries" with my BFF...

Wishing everyone a WONDERful day...
Tahara

I think they posted a plan where by the last people would inform the room hosts who then closed the room and became the new "last people" . It certainly behooves those attending to show up in a timely manner out of consideration for the hosts!

 

[sak0526]

CRUISE DOCUMENTS ARRIVED TODAY!! SNAIL MAIL!! luggage tags and contract looks like. is that right -i mean is that all we're getting?!

 

[WDW Princess 71]

My mom and I just finished our afternoon of making up 90 fish extender goodie bags, whew! I didnt think it would take that long, but tying each name tag individually took awhile, but worth it to me as I like to address my gifts and let people know their from us : )

Looks like everything is slowly coming together! Also my FL car rental just went down $15 too, so while its not much I was happy about that today too! Still on the fence about the car rental vs. towncar transport from port in LA to DL afterwards though...

 

[tinksmom]

Val-- do you need a 5B for the tour? We're in 6074 and would be happy to open the cabin up if needed. If you've already got one, we won't add ours.

Five weeks from tomorrow Carly and I fly to Orlando. I can't believe it finally here. Lots to get done, finish up the first semester of most of Carly's school; finish our fish extenders, pack, relax and enjoy Christmas. The time will fly and we'll be on the plane soon.

Safe travels to everyone heading home tomorrow.
