Good news and bad news.

First the Good news:
Here is my new creation.

All I am willing (and able) to do with this one is change the line at the top.

So, once again, if you are interested in this sign, please send me a PM with what you want the one line to read and I will get to it as soon as possible. We'll call this one "Cruise Documents" as it is the cover that my cruise documents came in for my last cruise.

Now the Bad news:
I'm going to be out of town again from Tuesday -thursday returning home on Thursday night. I'll still be checking in here, but am unable to work on these magnets as all my stuff is here at home.

And yes once again it is Business card sized but as I have been told it isn't a big deal for you to make it bigger to suit your needs.

Very nice, Ken.

And here is my last batch. By my reckoning I have now got everyone that has asked for one, up to this point, done.

If you have asked for one and have not seen it on here, let me know. Either you missed the posting, or I missed your PM. the way this thread moves, it's not surprising either way.

TxTwins2000 here are yours:

There is no way that I could replace all my hard work (shopping) in just a few days shopping time!

British Airways has the tracking number for the luggage, but does not know where it is (or, for that matter, any of the luggage for that flight).

BA now has our friends' cruise itinerary. The soonest they expect to deliver it is at one of the ports in Hawaii, but there is no guarantee since they don't know where the luggage is.

Found this on TMZ... (yes, I look at gossip... )

Star Jones just got off a Disney Cruise... Gee... she didn't have just 2 pieces of luggage, now did she??? (I count 6!!!) (make that 7) I think she has my Luis Vuitton luggage!!!

The original article, if you can call it that was posted on 3/31 and it says she got off on 3/30... That much for a 3 night cruise???

I don't believe I've been to a Cracker Barrel. Am I missing something?

Woody

Chicken pot pie PA Dutch style is like a stew - similiar to Chicken and Dumplings elsewhere.

Well, no time to catch up again . . . I've had a bit of a day.

Just when I was catching up this morning my brother called - he was supposed to go back to work today after break (he is a teacher) - and his feet were so swollen he could not even get his shoes on. He has extreme fear of doctors and hospitals, and I had been trying to talk him into seeking medical care for over a week.

I got him to call off work, make a doctor's appointment, and then I had to take him to the appointment. I had to drop him and leave him because I could not leave the office for so long a time.

My brother is extremely obese, and he looked ashen. He had difficulty even walking to and getting in my car. I think I have mentioned that my father lives with him.

Later in the afternoon he called to tell me I had to take him to the ER, he was retaining fluid, but they were afraid to give him medication without tests. The whole way to the ER he was freaking out on me - I thought I was going to have to slap him to get him to calm down.

I got him to the ER, got him admitted, and had to go home to get Sophia and my son dinner (who had brought some friends to watch the game). Can you say Olive Garden carryout? I had to calm down my dad, get his medication ready for him, and keep answering his calls wondering what was happening. Can you say 85 year old man with time on his hands?

He just called a little bit ago. He was admitted. He is anemic, and they were giving him 3 units of blood. He thinks he will be released tomorrow (who knows?). Meantime, I have to get to my dad's in the morning again to get his medicine ready for him. Take him lunch, take him dinner.

Oh yeah, and I have this job that keeps getting in the way. Now, what would have happened if this happened on May 11th? I know many of you are in similar positions with family - we should all say prayers for each other.

Poor Amy is dealing with my frustration half the world away, even though she gets to sit by a pool and have her feet massaged. I barraged her with email during the day because there is no one else to talk tol

Anyway - miss you guys - wish I had more time to spend, but it is bed time for Sophia!

Really sorry to hear you are going through all of these troubles. I honestly hope this improves soon for you. I all too well understand the worry and stress of taking care of a relative having medical problems. I kept watch over my elderly grandfather for a while until he passed. I think this cruise will be a much needed retreat for many of us to escape it all for a while.

Oh yea..On our med cruise I was sharing clothes with a family from georgia. They got moms bag 3 days in , dads 4 days in and the 2 kids 2 days before the end. There was one woman who was doing a summer abroad with her kids and she had 10 bags from singapore with their entire summer wardrobe...gone..didn't get them back when we got off either. The disney cruise was the first of their european vacation...ugh!

The bags NEVER coming back would kill me! OMG no way I could deal with that.

 

[Making_Memories]

Glad you're okay, Holly.

Before I had DSL, I had dial-up. It was so embarrassing for DIS chat because I was always a step behind (Jackie might remember).

For example:

Smith: I won the lottery
Smith: but then my wife left me
Woody: Hey, that's great!
Smith: Then my neighbor paid back the $200 he owned me
Woody: Oh, that's so sad.
Smith: turns out he was seeing my wife.
Woody: Can I have some?

Woody

OMG that is freaking too funny! I can only imagine. I am so used to the fast connection I have no idea how I lived with dial up years ago.

That's why my teddy bear always travels with me... I can always get more undies... but he's irreplaceable...

 

[Making_Memories]

I love pot pie.

Ooh I do too! Down home food reminds me of my grandma.

 

[Tink rules]

Hey Marr... did you wear Nan out???

 

[Making_Memories]

I actually have some good news to post!

Our DS, Mike, has decided to attend Duke Law School this fall. He didn't get into Stanford, and NYU didn't offer him any money, but Duke offered him a scholarship. I was rooting for Duke the whole time! His dad and I are so happy! He is onlly 10 hours away! (sorry west coasters, but CA is just SO FAR AWAY!).

That's great he can attend a super school and still be close to home. I would have rooted for the same option too!

 

[calmom]

What photogenic kids! Great pictures!

Thanks!

www.chasing-fireflies.com And I already call the pirate bathing suits!

 

[calmom]

Wow Linda - your daughter looks great!

John, so sorry to hear of your brother's troubles. Hope all is better soon.

The recent DL trip sounds great! Wish we were there.

Duke Law! Wow!

Love all the door signs. We are going to be one stylin cruise!

Looks like Star has more luggage than our family of 6 combined will!

Ok...better stop typing as I will wake DH! Night all.

The guy really spoiled it for many guests.

That your kids collect memories rather than stuff is admirable.
Woody

I lost my oldest daughter in the year 2000. she was just 4 1/2 years old. One of the hardest things for me was the memories or lack of enough memories I should say. I had started to feel like I should have done more, seen more, gone more, etc with her. Then I thought what if the roles were reversed? What if I were gone tomorrow, what would my kids have to remember me by? What about when they are grown what will they remember of their childhood? I want to make sure my kids have strong memories of us playing together, laughing, hugging, smiling, giggling, and the over all feeling that mom really loves them more then anything in the whole wide world. I would give my kids anything and would do anything for them but I feel the most important thing I can do for them is to give them a solid foundation of love to build the rest of their lives on.

 

[Making_Memories]

And me because of my ears.

Woody

 

[Making_Memories]

Mean mommy!

Woody

That's it you help me work on her. Maybe if we all do she will give in!

I often think of your loss...I just can't imagine. You write words to live by.

Try one day. They leave tomorrow morning on their cruise.

It's already 9:00 p.m., and Mrs. Woody is still out with them.

Woody

Oh I feel so bad for them! That is horrible. Not the way you want to start a relaxing vacation at all! To think I am always amused at the thought of this place.
