Its so good to know I'm not the oldest... just sayin, round these parts, *I* am the oldest... *sigh (that's what happens when you "rob the cradle" and dh is just a year or two... not more than that older...) lol

Speaking of good cow... I went to the store to get some Pop ( soda, coke... for us non caffeine stuff) it was on sale $4.99 a case...

I just wanted to check out the cow sections... hmmm thin sliced strip steaks for $27... on sale for $15.... but I had a 50% OFF coupon!!! i got 7 thin cut strip steaks for $7 BUCKaROONIES!!! and DS cooked 'em on the grill!!

Way to go, Sandy!

PS: Steph (Javamom) posted on he pre-trippie that they are safely in a KC hotel for the night and leaving at the crack of early.

I had cataract surgery in 2004. I had one eye done and 2 weeks later I had the other one done. The first day or two you have to be drops in your eyes every 4 to 6 hr. So I went to my mom's and she took care of me. I thought I was to young for it but I have taken a lot of cortisone for skin conditions and allergies . I read That cortisone and the sun could have some effect on getting Cataracts .When I had the daycare I never wore sunglasses and I was outside 2 or 3 hours a day. You will be fine. Just trust in the Lord and your doctor. The aged one will wish you all a restful night.

*sniff...

so dd school did a 5th grade "Fly Away" celebration tonight... (they go up to jr hi next year)

This school was the districts answer to "Charter Schools" and DS #2 was the first 6th grade class, and joined just so his darlin l lil sis didnt have to go thru what he did (each 2 grades in one building, he NEVER was in a class with kids he knew - he went to 5 different schools in 6 years! and we never MOVED!) So dd got to be in a school from K - 5 - - and only 2 classes too... In first grade... her classmate Zach Tran tragically died in an accident when the soccer goal fell on his head... gone... never forgotten..

One dad is a landscaper, and they planted a small garden when the "old school" became too old, and a new one was built - they each got a bag of dirt, and brought it to the new building... the landscaper made a small plot of land dedicated.... but ... today they expanded it, planted a tree... and we got the slide show...

and unbeknowst to the teachers that built the year end slide show... the song they chose for those snapshots for the imovie... Louie Armstrongs "Its a Wonderful World"""

(*sigh, tears) THAT song their first grade teachers pulled apart, and had a group of kids make a "big book" art page - and they did a "music program"....
to that song..

so tonight.. as I sat with all the rest of the parents and kids... tears were free flowing... I went up to the teachers that put it together (mind you dd 5th grade teacher 10 years ago was DS 4th grade teacher!!) and told them, "did you know..." we all cried again... (because they didnt, they wanted to pick a song that was sentimental, but not sappy... for the first part of the imovie they had "CELEBRATE, Hope you had the Time of your life, We are family... and then. this tribute to Zach, who died 4 years ago... but they are kids... so they 'settled after much discussion' for Its a Wonderful world by Louis Armstrong... and yet.. THAT song has such deep meaning, dd and I cant hear that song WITHOUT thinking of Zach.... as does a few other parents I saw that were also crying!!)

Just couldnt contain the emotions...

thanks for listening...

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Sandy,

When I was in 1st grade, a boy from my class was killed in a car accident. The entire class went to the funeral. I still remember this, the mom almost fell into the grave crying with grief. Such tragic stuff!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Mony, glad to hear Tim's pain level is lower and you got to see the Wings win

Slight change of plans for Epcot tomorrow. The group is meeting at 9am to go walk over to Soarin' before lunch, but no fast pass run. So I am just meeting them for lunch at LeCellier (filet mignon, baby, for free!) and then see from there. I got backstage parking thanks to our lovely GM"s assistant's connections. Another for that.

Actually, it's a bad day tomorrow for a team outing, we have lots of stuff to do for Budgets, I have 2 deadlines on Monday, but what the heck! I am not passing up a free filet mignon, that would make me a crazy person.

Yay for backstage parking tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your filet

Thanks for the Steph travel update. MOO HOO!

Well, I celebrated my half-century birthday year at WDW with a bunch of girlfriends last year. So I'm also on the upper end of the age curve

Pumba, you're going to do great You too, Marita

Celery'sMama, I never knew that about cortisone and cataracts

Goog seeing you, DTD!

So sad about your DD's friend, Sandy - that song makes me all verklempt too.

TG tomorrow's Friday. Looooooooooooooong week.

 

[Bloodhound]

Oh, I just thought, since DTD is near(ing) 60, how old is BH? I might move up to 5th oldest??

He will be 55ish in a few days or 56 not sure his bday is mid june

 

[Bloodhound]

Pumba, I am turning 56 in July.

And I am anxiously awaiting your surgery report for cataracts, as I am going to that soonishly. My DR. told me NOT to look up stuff on the internet for that! But I think I have seen that on TV before anyway.
My Dr. said the drugs they give you make it really easy.

I believe...... I believe.... I believe.......

Im 47 and I will have to get it done in my left eye soonish ...my right eye is fine

 

[Celerymama60]

Your glasses will proably be different for each lens. Mine where. I can read and work on the computer without glasses. I just need glasses to see far away, only.. They did not put me to sleep , they just numbed my eye.
It was a pc. of cake. Hey, Celery daughter your puppy is so cute, I gave her a trim and she stood still for me to cut her. Good Night

 

[Sandy321]

CeleryMomma WOOHOOTY!! Post #10

Marita I thought you were looking forward to riding Soarin!! Enjoy your cow!! Hope its not too too hot!!

Moo WDW is a great place to celebrate a half century, I'm planning on just burying my head in the sand!

Mony continued goog thoughts, and prayers for you and Tim, may the meds continue to offer comfort, and may the surgery be successful

TGIF

I'm going into hiding today!! Staying far away from the whole PTO mess! Monday the kids go to school for one hour just to get their report cards!

LEXI miss you!

Hi Celery Momma! I don't think I had a chance to meet your properly.

I'm Monica. Mom of 4 wonderful children. I hope you like it here.


I put a call into the Barbara Ann Karmanos Institute yesterday. I figure why not. Barbara Ann Karmanos Institute This just explains that they are a preferred hospital for cancer research. We have gotten encouragement from friends and family to seek a second opinion for Tim.



Here's my little vent.

Why is it when you are in a situation like this everyone says: "Come to my hospital don't go there." or, "Why did you pick that place?", or "You need to go here cause my neighbor did."

We went to the hospital thinking he had kidney stones. We didn't know it could be cancer and that we should have went somewhere else. And my biggest thing I want to say is, "I didn't know they hired a bum off the street to play doctor".

5 different doctors pretty much said, it was RCC. I think I believe them.

Ok, vent over.

Have a great day.

We go to discuss our options today at 2:30pm

 

[UtahMama]

Pumba, this past January I celebrated the 12th anniversary of my 28th year. Heh.

Me too, but the previous September.

You are all young chicks......I really didnt mean to find out how old everyone is....I am just an older vs of you youngsters...

The under 40's are chicks, the over 40's are cougars...

Hey everyone! It's Friday at last! I am working my half day today. CBM has stepped out for lunch, so I just popped in for a drive-by shout out!

LilG, long time no see! Hope you've been well!

Monica, continued prayers for the whole Mony family.

Wendell, cougar, eh? I can live with that.



Where are our prodigal posters? I don't expect to hear much from BBN this weekend, as she'll be living it up as matron of honor in her BFF's wedding. But where has MommyP been? When is Melinda coming back online? Isn't Peej back from the beach yet? Sheesh!

 

[Sandy321]

Lil'g-- nice to see you. Are you telling me you forgot your wife's birthday... She is dieting so she can eat well on you up coming cruise in August?

Mony-- hope your are getting all the information you need to help ease your mind a bit.

I caught some of the parade you guys had there for the Red Wings this morning.

We haven't gotten any storms yet but it sure is hot out there. They said we break a record today. I am sure it will decide to rain tomorrow when it is our community yard sale. My living room is full of boxes from the basement. I still have to go though Hannah's closet ,lots in there to go.
