Harole Ann,

How could that adorable little face be "bad to the bone"? She's a real

cutie!

Cute she is, but when our ds kept her two weekends ago and we were on the way home my cell phone rang and the first words from his mouth were "I don't know how much you pay to board her, but it is worth every penny!" She would not let anyone sleep. She wanted to play all night!

She is like a little child, she has good days and bad days, but she is still a puppy. Naturally, she is better for us, than for him! I look at it as he is getting pay backs!! He loves her anyway!! We all do! She has us right where she wants us....especially dh, but he won't admit it!! shhh!!!

Okay, I looked up Evington VA...just East of Roanoke VA....so about 1 hour from VA Tech.....very small town.....about 3 1/2 hours south of us!!

I am guessing about a 16 hour round trip for the breeder.....
Wow- that is far. she is charging me 200.00 for delivering them (with gas prices the way they are -its a bargin!

Have you picked out names for the kitties? or are you going to wait to see them to see what their names are? or do the bredders name them??

So funny you should ask- that is what we have been doing today to cheer up- thinking of names....
here are the choices so far.. we will take suggestions and votes!!!

Hmmmm. I like Tink and Belle (but then I am partial, our beloved dog was named Tinkerbelle). But once you see them, you'll know.

Best of luck with the little darlings. I'll bet you're so excited you can't wait!

To all those multi-posters:
I have been trying to Ketchup for almost 4 hours

To all those who are trying to beat Andrew:
I say we all join forces, log in as Helen and take over this board

To all those who have pirated, repirated and multi-pirated:
Look out, one day when you least expect it....

To all those who are also just trying to keep up:
We know the real party animals are the quiet ones.

Wishing all well, and happy planning. Keep it coming

Thanks all for the entertainment

Great post...I'm laughing my head off over here!! I agree, if we all become Helen....we can beat him!! (Helen, what's your password?)

 

[disneylover5]

I really like the fountain meet....but will be awake? 10pm at night will be the same as 4am by my body clock.....ohhhhhh I am going to be so messed up....

I hope the kids don't miss DCL too much but for the price difference and availability it is definitely worth a try. We have school vacation the third week of February. DS will be in 10th grade and DD will be in 7th. And I work at the school so it's my time off as well. I'm so excited but DH wants to wait until Christmas to tell the kids. I don't think I can (or want) to wait that long.

PS Did you notice i was able to do a quote. Not one of those multi quotes yet but you have to start somewhere.

You'll have a great time, I'm sure....I was just glad when we on the other line, that they all missed the Magic so we could do the Med cruise! WTG on the quote!!

Ok since going back to work the last 2 days have not been good calorie wise . I was soo tired I forgot to take the steak out of the freezer this morning for tonights beef stir-fry. So instead Dave ordered an Indian takeaway. I've even eaten to jaffa cakes today aswell and had abagel for breakfast instead of ceral. I really need to get a grip tomorrow- Im really annoyed with myself!

Don't feel bad, I do this everyday!!

 

[jlawall]

This is my 2500 post !!!

(no not on this thread, but altogether )

Big deal!!

Sorry, kidding......... WTG, now get to sleep!!!

HI Everyone,
Thank you so much for the well wishes and all the PMs that were sent. How amazing is it ,that total strangers, some thousands of miles away, can actually make a person feel such empathy and compassion when so sad. As I wrote to some of you privately, I feel so blessed to have found this thread, firstly because I know I will be so much better prepared for this trip with all the prior knowledge and brainstorming that goes on here. And, secondly, because I have found such wonderful friends in what I consider a magical way- through invisible satellite waves that magically and instantly answer questions, provide help and can give a hug without even physically being there. I hope you understand what all these ramblings of mine are trying to say. So, again, I thank you all.
We had to put Chloe down Monday night. Suffice it to say, it was one of the more difficult times in my life. Of course I do put this into perspective, wars, soldiers dying, sick children, etc., but loosing a pet after 15 years is very heart breaking.
As I mentioned, I do have her sister, they were siamese twins who I am now very concerned with. We are paying as much attention to her as possible, and keeping her busy so she dosent continually roam the house looking for her sister, and become depressed,which tehy are very prone to do. So, far, she has not been meowing that much, and only seems to roam at bedtime.
I called their breeder, and thank goodness, she is still breeding traditional l siamese cats. She has since moved to Virginia, but through the magic of the internet,again) I was able to track her down.
She has a litter of kittens they are just ready to be sold. So, we are getting 2 more sometime next week. I just cannot let Cleo stay alone during the day while we are working, so I hope she bonds with them as soon as possible. I am feeling better today, I finally turned my computer on and tried reading pages of posts, although I know I missed a few.
Here are our pre- cruise plans:
Paris- one night Hotel Lutetia(26th) ( TA booked it)
Barcelona one night- Hotel Hesperia Presidente
Post- one niht Hotel Husa Illa (27th)[

I posted the fountain thing a couple of weeks when I saw it on the other thread, soooo glad you re arranging that Helen- thanks

O-K- I am going to start dinner, I've been very couch potato like the past few days, and I will then read on to see if I need to respond to anything else...
Oh yes... I didn't forget....there is the matter of responding to the many posts about my flashing..... next time

Sorry....... Ken's dad passed away in March....grief is really tough!

 

[jlawall]

I am going to try two medications that he has prescribed, it most likely is tension headaches re stress but BP has an input as well, but he clearly said NOTHING to worry about.

Glad to here it, all kidding aside!! Have a nice holiday!!
