PJ can you do the rest of us on the map. This would be really cool to have in the power point for the kids. We of course would need a map of the rest of the world too

I just realized that Kaylee must be having a wonderful time in Mexico...

The DVC "Welcome Home' has a double meaning for me.

The first time I was ever thanked was actually at Disneyland. I was sitting on a bench, next to a little old Vietnamese man. I spoke to him in Vietnamese and he looked at me and asked, "Oh, you were in my country?" I said, "Yes", and told him when and where. He then said to me, "Thank you so much for all you did for my Country and my people". That little old man made me cry. He also made my day and helped bring me home.

That is a hard story for me to tell. Whew.

Amazing that it was at my favorite place.

I did it a while ago, but got bored. No need for cat food or breastfeeding stuff in my life....I suspect you'll be back in a short time, enjoy your freebie break.

I agree Nan, I did it a while back and got bored too. It was cool for a while thought. I did get a mail box full of stuff for quite a while. Mostly stuff I really didn't need.

I just did the on-line request that Gydell posted...and they emailed back. This is what I got:
"hello Lisa
mirador acapulco really thank your preference. is to pleasure take your reservation at 1:00p m for lounch
atte
Jose Juan Vazquez Diaz"
Who knows if it really is true. If I go with the DCL tour, you can take my reservation at 1pm? Or else I'm sure there will be space for drop-ins?

This time I need the rain...next Saturday Wilson has a big conflict. It's the first race of a new class, IFK (international "funky" kart) (not) and he is likely to do very well in his class 5-8 years old, and if he does has the opportunity to well and advance to the next area (not sure what it's called, regional?)
AND
He has a huge Little League day too it is openning ceremony, team and personal pictures, hitathon (fund raiser) and the first game of the season.

The gokart race is 2+ hours away and it's all day, so it is a one or the other thing.

Both Paul and Wilson want to race, I feel badly as I think he should be with his team.

If it rains baseball is postponed...and the race still goes on.

Praying for rain for next weekend....

What a dilemma. Here's hoping for rain for next weekend for you!

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - Like a herd of antelope, jockeying and shoving for position, 150 young women raced down Amsterdam's most famed fashion street in stiletto heels Thursday, racing for a $15,000 prize.

The race on the P.C. Hooft street called the "Stiletto Run" is only three years old but has quickly grown in popularity and spawned imitation races in Germany, Sweden, Poland and Russia.

The race's motto is "Shopping is a Sport" and friendly competition is encouraged - though not always observed.

"At the start there was a lot of pushing, you really get elbowed over," said Fauve Stukje, 18, who came with a small entourage and a big pink sign - but failed to win, show or place.

She said she slightly regretted her choice of shoes, which were nearly 4 inches high - a little higher than the 3 1/2 inch minimum.

Tamara Ruben, 25, from the town of Veenendaal, claimed first prize in the 380-yard race, running so smoothly you might think she was wearing sneakers.

Asked how she would spend the money, she said: "Anything but high heels."

Oh, I'm doing all the lotions and soaps and shampoos, etc. And DOUBLE the chocolate ones....I've been doing those to both home and work. LOL!

What a great day today is! Sure, it's very cold, last I heard it was 19, but the sun is shining through my windows, I've managed to get lots accomplished today, have decided to relax a bit and am watching Survivor (at least as long as my internet connection cooperates). But it sure does feel good to have the sun shining on me through the window!

 

[nskjerven]

gydell - what time is your reservation? do you have a listing of everyone on your reservation for acapulco? I can't recall if I pm'd you.

that reminds me I haven't heard back from my thank you email. I guess if it's there it's there, if not, I'll be in the stalking Gydell group.

I never would have figured that one out!

It has started snowing here, but we're not supposed to get as much as the parts of the midwest to the east of us.

I just got back. I have been out of the house since 8:00 AM, running errands.

I am holing in for the rest of the day. After I prepare for my WW meetings tomorrow morning, I'll probably park my butt and play video games.

Tomorrow is my first weigh-in for the Spring Staff Challenge. I'm going to end up wearing gym shorts and a t-shirt under my clothing again, so I can strip off for the weigh-in.

I think we could set this up on google maps to allow others to add to it, anyone that has the link below can see it, I have made it a private map, so it will not come up in a search. You will need a google account to edit the map, sign up.

google group map

Click on Edit. Find your approx, no exact locations, on the map, click on the little blue pointer(beside the hand,) set your pointer and add your dis name as the title and anything else you want in the discprition. Click on Ok. Click on Save. Click on Done, refresh page to see your entry.

15 days since I was on the DIS! So I'm 100 pages behind on Part 5 and the whole of Part 6.

Had a great week's vacation at WL, the highlight being our mini-meet with Monica.

But on our last day I started suffering with some horrible virus which really hit me when we got home on Sunday. I took to my bed Mon and Tue but dragged myself out and back to work Wed, as I had to be away with work Thu and Fri. You know I was ill when I didn't even try to DIS whilst at home those 2 days. I could've done without the days away from home, but I was needed. I was administering exams to 43 new Army doctors whilst feeling poorly, and not one of them noticed! Tripping over a step and falling full length on a concrete floor didn't help much. Although I do now have some wonderful bruises.

Anyway, I'm home. Hopefully kicking the virus. And my next mission, should I wish to accept it, is to catch up with these threads.
