THANK YOU BETH!!! I couldn't get the quote feature to work ..but thank you for doing the picture for me

Hi Janelle! Glad you're back with us! Sorry I couldn't help you with the photo. Beth did all those, isn't she the best?

Morning Divas!

I see someone already answered you. Did you get it down?

No I didn't see the answer post? Hmm... any suggestions?

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Oh, and I've been thinking...I wonder if it's possible to make a jello shot version of Stacie's famous drink? Cranberry jello mixed with Malibu? What do you all think? I'd be willing to take one for the team and try it.

Ohhh.. Someone mentioned Malibu? Yummy...

I would have loved to join somebody in DL but I don't have my AP anymore. Sad times, I know.

My AP is expiring next month and even though I'm renewing, it makes me sad to think of it..

Good morning ladies!

Beth, how do I add my pic to the first page?

I don't remember what your question was, or I would help ya out.

When are you moving to California?

Some of us are meeting with our families in October, will you be there by then?

I was just wondering if there was an easy way to quote from multiple users in one post? THe only time I've done it I had about 3 windows open to get it all and it took forever! I will be in Cali July 2nd or 3rd. When in October? It depends on if I have a break at school and if I'll end up meeting my parents in Florida. Otherwise I'd love to go to DL!

Sure, I hope the one I used is ok. Just let me know.

Not really. If I was, I'd be able to find a way to make this pesky fly go away once and for all.

No I didn't see the answer post? Hmm... any suggestions?

It's easy. At the bottom right of each post there is the regular quote button, and then next to it is a middle button with a + sign and " quotes. Click on that button in each of the posts you are wanting to quote. It will be highlighted which means that post was selected.

When you've chosen all the ones you want to highlight, hit reply down at the bottom as usual, and you'll see all the ones you highlighted there ready for you to reply to each one individually. Try it.

Beth, how do I add my pic to the first page?

Post a pic of you that you'd like to use, preferably a close up, without sunglasses and I'll crop and add it.

There are three buttons on the bottom right corner of each post. You can click the middle one to multi post. Then when you are ready to post just click the quote button and voila you can respond to multiple postings.

Some of us are coming in for the wk from Oct. 18-25.

Some of us are going to be there October 23-25. Some are coming earlier or staying longer but those are the main dates. Some are bringing their families, friends, kids, etc. others are going solo. I'll be there with my family at the Halloween party on Friday night and then solo on the 24th. I'm hoping to get a group meeting up for lunch at the new BBQ meal in Big Thunder Ranch on that day. And then I'm going to shop with my free gift card.

When you're looking through the posts, on the bottom right hand side there are three buttons. The one in the middle has quotation marks and a plus sign ("+). Click that button on all the posts you want to quote, then click on the usual post reply button for your reply. Easy peasy

Morning Divas! No I didn't see the answer post? Hmm... any suggestions?

You must have been sleepy last night

Ooh, are you going for the whole week??? Do your kids get a fall break then? I'm coming Oct 22-26 (Jesse's gets to have a couple extra days off school ) We're going to do the ToT party and probably the Halloween Tour (very fun and age appropriate for teens)

******** I have my own problems that have been diagnosed and I have received treatment for. I still have my hard days, but I don't use it as a reason to explain the way I act. I was told I did not have to get a job and just go on disability, but I chose to get help and try to overcome it the best I could. It's hard for me and it's always frustrating when I finally tell new friends about my diagnoses and suddenly they understand my behavior. It just makes me work harder at overcoming obstacles. I don't want to be defined by my "illness" so I do what I can to work at getting better.

I really didn't want to get into this, but it's frustrating when people continually make excuses.

Morning all and first off I just want to say WOW!

That was a LOT to take in! WHEW! Lots of stuff went in just since yesterday.

First off to Steph and Heather!!

********

And to Bridgette and Courtney Welcome and look forward to meeting you next year!!

Well yesterday Shane and the girls went to church and were able to find out that they COULD go to their Awana meetings late so that is a good thing since they have been going all year and I really hated for them to miss the end of it. Every meeting that they attend they earn little badges and such and it is all leading up to a big end of the year bash type thing as well as they are learning what they need to know to be baptized in June along with Shane who has also never been baptized (I already was). He has to take 2 classes, one next Sunday and one in May. But anyway so they will go after swimming for the remainder of the time and their last class ironically is on my birthday which ALSO happens to be the night of our swim team pics. This ALWAYS happens. I couldn't go to the first meeting cuz it was during the ladies trip and then we missed the whole first week of swim because we were in Disneyland now this. UGH! So I am hoping we can maybe TRY and go get the pics BEFORE the party depending on when the party starts. The pics are at 4:45 and usually church starts at 6 so maybe we can come to church a little late but who knows. ACK! Never fails.

But anyway then Shane came home and we just had a nice day relaxing again. I still have this nasty cold/sinus thing so we just hung out most of the day and then he bbq'd chicken last night and it was so nice not to have to go anywhere or do anything pretty much all weekend! Mom is out showing property all day so I am going in to work tomorrow instead of today which is good so I am going to stay home and do a little laundry but mostly try and relax. We are getting the same heat wave here as well! I actually had to turn on my whole house fan last night. Went from my heater to my fan in one day LOL!

Anyway I was supposed to have my last "eval" apt with my psych tomorrow but since my depocoat was making me sick I am probably going to have to switch meds which means I will probably have to start over on the stupid blood tests which means I will have to have MORE stupid meetings with him. BLEH. I was hoping to be DONE with that cuz every stupid meeting is 40 copay plus he ALWAYS makes me wait even when there is no one there! Typical! And then I meet with my therapist every Wed from here on out now. So that is yet ANOTHER 40 copay. Yippee! At least Shane is back to work now full time but like I said we had to drop that money for the stupid soccer and then I have my big 6 month insurance bill due on May 1. And then of course Shelby's birthday. I will just be glad when I get through the next few weeks. It's brutal trying to get caught back up! It seems like you can't get paid quick enough and it just goes right back out the door. Sheesh. But anyway such is life I guess. Murphy's law as they say.

Anyway hope everyone has a good day and great week and talk to you soon.

Oh and P. S. I am SO jealous of you Mouse Adventurers! I have wanted to do that for years and that looks like SO much fun! The next time that comes to Disneyland I am doing it!!!!!!!!! For sure!

What night are you all doing the TOT party? I went with ex-BF last year. I'd like to go again.

I will probably skip the tour--it was too hard to maneuver in the crowds on an ECV and keep up with the guide. I liked it though.

I think we're going to try for the Friday party. I can see what you mean by it being difficult to maneuver for the tour. You did it the same day we did (just the later time - someone was late or mixed up your times ) and it was literally shoulder to shoulder through Disneyland! Good thing we had those blinking glow in the dark necklaces, or I would definitely have been lost

Are you going to dress up or just get a funky Halloween t-shirt? We're doing the t-shirts...... I have this great design from the DISign board that has "What happens in Disneyland stays in Disneyland" and has the "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" Mickey Mouse heads on it. We're going to put that on the back of a t-shirt and then a pumpkin Mickey or Minnie head on the front. That's about as dressed up as I can get Jesse to commit to

Ummm that would be me. I got the time right; not the place. Went to the tour garden in DL instead of GR over in DCA. Oops!

I am coming for the entire week! I wish we had fall break. So I will be the "bad mom" who takes their children out of school for a vacation.

How much is the tour? Jordan would love it. But I am not too sure about Kaeleb.
I think we are doing the party on Friday night.

I'm gonna have to agree with Cheryl also. I have my own problems that have been diagnosed and I have received treatment for. I still have my hard days, but I don't use it as a reason to explain the way I act.

Your shirts sound pretty darn cool!

We are planning a week long vacation leaving the 17th and going to San Diego. We are going to arrive at DLR on the 21st, leaving on the 25th. I'm so excited, and can't wait for Nahtan to see Sea World, and the zoo. (Not to mention Disney!) I am worried about him being able to handle disney though. He gets so overwhelmed with crowds, and waiting. It's very hard for him. I have months to work on it though.

Some of us are coming in for the wk from Oct. 18-25.

Are you going to be at Disney that whole time? I'm just wondering if others might be doing something like was are planning to do. It'd be cool to see friendly faces at the other parks!

DH and I have costumes that we got for a family party last year, but the boys got sick and we didn't make it. I'm tempted to drag them out, but we don't want to be the only adults not dressed up!

I don't know what to do for the kids. I made costumes last year, but doubt I'll have time this year.


I'm hoping we all have a good day today! I'm off to clean. If it's nice later, the boys and I might go to the park. It might get into the 90's though. If it's that hot, we'll probably just play with the water table on the patio.

Oh, and thanks for the kind support everyone. There's so much else I want to say, but won't. Sometimes, it's best for me to just stay quiet. That way, I don't waste too much emotional energy on a thread about fun and vacations and friends and their lives.
