Girls Trip~OLD THREAD (see first post for link to new one)

[DizNee Luver]

Awwwe, it feels like I've known you for years (well....I have! lol), and it's just weird that we've never been in the same room together. I can't wait until it happens. I might have to give you a big hug. That's my warning to you.

You also make an excellent point about Company D. I've missed out on all the times before and would love to get in on a trip this time! I can't wait to see what they have there.

I'll be ready.....I'm a hugger too!!!

It really could be a money saver to do it early.....that way, you can then pick park stuff up that you didn't find here for reduced prices. I bought a couple shirts in the parks that were at Company D & believe me.....I paid 2-3x that price. I LVE a good bargain!!

Yiles ! Looks like everyone wants to go to Company D on Friday.

We may have to kidnap you so you make it for the Meet-n-Greet & hold on to you until the festivities end.....that way Friday wouldn't be a problem!!!!

 

[stacielee]

Oh, and Jill, why October for WDW?? How about November, when other Divas will already be there???

So, I haven't spoken up in a long time here, but have been lurking some. I have convinced DH that I should be able to go on the trip! Our vacation time is very limited, but we using babysitters more, and so things are going to work out (I'll make it!).

I just added you to the front page list of attendees this morning.

AWESOME! Don't you love it when they realize that YOU ARE RIGHT?

YES!! And it's about time, too!

I vote for Friday as well - partly for this reason and partly because we will be leaving earlier on Sunday next year.

Yay, more Friday votes.

Yiles ! Looks like everyone wants to go to Company D on Friday.

But remember your coming on Thursday this year so you can go to the Meet and Greet, so Friday will work out fine for you. Just tell those daycare parents now that you won't be available Thurs or Fri because you are going to go party with some wild women you met years ago on the internet. They'll totally understand.

 

[Happy 2 B Me]

I've been taking thyroid meds since 1994. They made me gain weight too and my doc also insisted it was due to eating too much. Hogwash !!! Also it made me fall asleep everytime I sat down. I haven't been to that doc in years, he was not very professional at all, he would practically yell at me saying, "It's not the medicine, it's the food" I was sure the whole building heard him.
I still think I need a stronger dosage but my current doc says no. Is hypo the low thyroid? I get the names mixed up because the low and high almost are the same. I'm low.

I have taken thyroid meds for 41 years now. I actually had gained weight and was very sluggish before I started taking. I ended up losing all the weight I had put on from being tired and inactive due to being sluggish and eating what could have been to much for being inactive. There are two tests that a DR. should do if your thyroid is not functioning proper. They may not need to do do but each case is different but having it explained to you may give you insight if you need or not.

I hate that getting older I can not lose weight as fast as I did when I was younger. Taking some of the meds I must take now don't help one bit either. So I understand completely.

I would like to mention that taking thyroid for hypo --- should let you lose weight. I wonder if your dose is correct. It can take a while to adjust meds to get it right. Don't let the Dr. tell you you are just eating to much. Other tests may be needed to get to reason why there is weight gain. I went through the change of life at 35 due to ovarian cancer and having what I call " A clean sweep". I did not gain or lose weight.

I joined the Dis back in 1999. I enrolled under my husbands e-mail. I went on two of the very first dis meets. I was fortunate to go on the first dis meet to WDW to. I am surprised that so many of the Disers that were on all three trips are not posting any longer. There are a few over on the WDW boards from that trip. I am trying to remember but am thinking one of the ones at DL was to be for females only. We ended up having bf and husbands though and some families with kids. We did not have all the fun things that are planned for the Diva's. Not to say we did not have picture time, a meal or two together, and group rides. I remember the Dis growing so fast poor Pete didn't want to but he ended up asking for donations. I wonder if I still have my t-shirt and cup? I got another item for a donation also but forget what it was-- guess I must not have that anymore. After a few more donations they changed to the bronze , silver, gold, and plat sponsors. I remember sending a check for Bronze at that time but might have taken a long break between sending and coming back. i have wondered what happened but it is no big deal. I was glad when I got back to reading posts that WDWinfo was still here.

I just wanted to share a bit of back ground on my Dis Days. You all -- well most of you know each other so good. I hope I will fit in being new to the Diva's. I feel like the new kid in the neighborhood. LOL at my age that might be a good thing. Seeing how much fun you all have doing events I am sure no matter I will have a wonderful time.

Thank You beth. Mary is still at hospital. They removed 16-20 pounds of fluid from her today. They will continue doing that until her readings get better. I was not aware liver failure did that to a person. Your thoughts sure helped. Thank You so much.

Forever Grateful Patty

I can't wait to meet all the Divas that I missed out on last year, and catch up with some that I know from previous years.

Yay! I'm so glad you can make it Heather! This trip is going to be awesome - there are 50 already attending and I wouldn't be surprised if we get to 60 by February. We will need 3 boats for Pirates! (How many in your group?...... )

For the Company D trip it looks like there are more people leaving Sunday than won't be there Friday. Maybe we should see who could make it for Friday after the BBQ or Sunday after breakfast/group photo. I could do either as I am planning to catch an early evening flight home.

 

[Queenbillabong]

I also go with Friday, I'm pretty sure Heather and I are leaving on Sunday.

I vote for Friday too I'll be leaving at some point in Sunday.

Any questions?

Ooh, ooh - me, I do Wait..... I better wait and do it in person. May be a little too naughty for here

Is hypo the low thyroid? I get the names mixed up because the low and high almost are the same. I'm low.

Hypo = low
Hyper = high

As for the contract, I haven't heard anything. Last time it was brought up, Jen did say she would get that sent off, but that was prior to her vacation so it might have gotten "lost in the shuffle".

I haven't talked to Jen, but I did phone the hotel today and it's not there yet. Hopefully Jen will see this and send it in. Go Jen

You're very subtle, Stacie

But remember your coming on Thursday this year so you can go to the Meet and Greet, so Friday will work out fine for you.

What she said

Happy Tuesday, Divas!!!

Well, you will fit in fine, but just so you know, the new kid buys the drinks. And yes, you will have a wonderful time!

Oh sure, I see where we fall on your list of priorities.

LOL Just joking! Congrats on the run!!

 

[MamaKate]

Woohoo, I'm glad to see that Heather and Stacie are coming on the trip (eventhough I actually see Stacie a few times a year and I'll be seeing her next month ).

For those on FB, you've might have already seen that I didn't receive good news at the doctor today . I really appreciate all the support and I love you all bunches . I was planning on posting details, but I really don't want to be a downer, so just know that in the end all should be fine, but I do have to go for a couple more months of treatment and then a few months of follow-up. I just love the doctors so this will be fun for me .

If you'd like more details of what's wrong with, feel free to ask by sending me a message. I don't want too much of my business publically on the thread KWIM??

Anywho's it all sucks, but it's just a bump in life to get over and on a positvie note, I finally saw Harry Potter this evening and I really enjoyed it .

Nighty night ladies .

Oh, and yes Co D is a go for the Diva trip. Probably Fri or Sunday. Whatever works for everybody best.

I am down for either day. But I think my vote would go for Friday.

I also go with Friday, I'm pretty sure Heather and I are leaving on Sunday.

I can't wait to meet you and Stacie and everyone else who wasn't there this past year.

Sorry to hear you have a couple more months of treatment. At the same time glad to hear that your outcome seems positive.

Please let me know if you need anything. I'm only a couple hours away . Even if just to talk (you've got my cell).

You could never be a downer, but I understand what you are saying. Just remember how much we love you and are always thinking about you!

Hey, you're my girl! You could never be a downer. I have your back, front, sides, bottom, and top. I'm here for you always no matter what. Stay strong and positive. You're in my thoughts and prayers Katie!

Glad you enjoyed Harry Potter. I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard good reviews from everyone who has seen it so far.

[4fosterkids]

Oh, and Jill, why October for WDW?? How about November, when other Divas will already be there???

I'm hoping to meet up with Chris, Dagny & Lauren in Oct. I didn't know Diva's were going in Nov...what are the dates??

Katie...you've been on my mind since reading your post on FB tonight after work. Hugs & prayers to you. If I can help at all, just let me know, I'm only an hour or so away I think.
