A PERSONAL NOTE OF APPRECIATION

To all my new friends here on the GF thread~

As I had posted before I have been reading and enjoying(lurking )this thread for a while but was definitely post shy (but once I got started- all evidence to the contrary!) Any way as our trip got closer Dniece encouraged me to share my enthusiasm here...so here I am...and enjoying every minute
A few weeks ago went for that annual mamo but instead of the usual see you next year , things were not exactly as they should be ...so off for some more test...biopsy and so on...but instead of fretting in my spare time I was here posting and it REALLY was a wonderful distraction

Two days to go finally got results all is good and we can be off on our trip with clears minds ....

So thank you all for this wonderful community....even when you didnt know it you were all quite comforting

I'm glad everything turned out OK . Have a GREAT trip . And I know what you mean about being post shy......I, too, was like that.....but you would never know it by looking at my current post count .

It's great, isn't it . Now that we know how, we're on a roll.....and I agree...there is no stopping us . It took a year and a half of lurking for me to work up the courage to start posting and now I get why the Dis is so addicting.....not only is it fun learning everything there is to learn about Disney, but you make some good friends on here and it's a great place to chat about everything DISNEY . So to all the great people here......THANKS .

Here ya go Chan.....

The pink squirrel is a rich, sweet cocktail that derives its name from the use of crème de almond, also called crème de noyaux. This is a red tinged liqueur, which may be partly made not only with almonds but with the pits of apricots, that when mixed with milky ingredients, imparts a pink flavor to a drink. Many recipes for the pink squirrel do not include this liqueur and instead substitute grenadine. Pink squirrel lovers would definitely call this inauthentic, since the drink would lack the almond flavor that defines it.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin tavern, Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge, lays claim to having invented the pink squirrel. There are disputes regarding the actual invention, but it is known the drink became popular in the 1950s, especially among women. It’s now not made as often, its popularity having been eclipsed by drinks with higher alcohol content.
The Bryant’s recipe calls for something that milkshake lovers will adore; a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To this, one half an ounce (.015 liters) of crème de cacao, and one and a half ounces (.045 liters) of crème de noyaux are added. The drink may be shaken or in some cases blended.

I was wondering the same thing but I felt like a dummy asking what a "fluffy drink" was that I didn't want to ask another silly question .

No Silly Questions Here! All Friends

Hey friends! We were sparred so far...... wind and rain thats about it so far! This storm is so slow! WE are thankful that this was not bad but we also are overly sensitive since we gt hit direstly 4 times in 2004. We are hoping it moves away but there is a chance that it might get in the atlantic and whip back at us...... only time will tell!

We are at my grandmothers and are having a fun huricane party! Lots of yummy snacks and we are several hours into a good chicken foot game! I am winning.....what can i say i am a lucky drawer!

Thanks for all the well wishes, I am also glad this has not been much for Sheli, Kelly, and M&P!

Mandy!

Mandy....Glad you are safe!!! Hey Its A FAY PARTAY!!!

Good luck tomorrow! I know all about having to overcome being out my comfort zone, as I am a corporate trainer! It has taken a long time, but I am finally comfortable in front of an audience, and I never thought I would be! It came with time and hard work, both of which you will give your best of! Hang in there!

Well...if they're anything like mine, they will be fine. Mine showers for an hour twice a day. He is super clean under those filthy clothes. DSs are pretty easy to pack...mine is anyway. He does it himself and he is the most carefree about it.

Happy and safe travels!!! Have a wonderful Grand Gathering!!

Dawn!! Good luck tomorrow!! You'll be fine. You know you will!!!!

That is so funny about the pink squirrel....so have your really had one? Or two?? I like your recipe with the icecream better than Kristin's with the milk.

Talk to all you multiquoting chit chatters later!!!

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

He LOves it Chan , he has no clue that I bumped us to RPC behing his back...he is oblivious...but after they concierge guy met the car this morning he said "Wow! This is the way to go!" So I think RPC (Or at least SL, has a customer for life!!)

The kids are having a ball! I think the plder boys rode Space Mtn about 5 times in a row...alll walk on!!! They LOVED their Disney Florist Baskets that the concierge crew placed in the rooms for them before we got here!!! THAT WAS SO FUN!!!!! They were shocked (I promise some pics once I get home!!!)

The storm has not been had here, a little windy, quite a bit of rain, but not horrible...it has been fun and truly a great day!!!

Magical Wishes!!!

 

[tinklvr64]
