NYE Western Cruise 2008 - New Thread

[ohioworkingmom]

This is a quote from one of them:
We just got off the Magic this morning and there was a new dining rotation. Usually the rotations are APL, PLA or LAP, however our rotation was PLLAPLA. They have started this because they are going to the LA for the summer and are trying something new Apparently the new rotation is also supposed to go along with the shows they have each night in the Walt Disney Theater. Unfortunately, they didn't get everything they needed to start the new menu's for this week, so it is supposed to start next week. However, since they had already made up the rotations, we did the new rotation without the new menu. Just thought I would let everyone know what to expect because we were totally confused when we got our KTTW cards.

I was just wondering if any of you had read any more on this, I am not great at keeping current on all of the boards.

That is confusing...

Looks like a little reserach would come in handy. You know what sights might help (besides this one) are Passporter or wdwig .com. Those two are really good for details~

yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me...

I think the new dining rotation is just for the west coast cruises this summer

but I am not sure

behind on everything myself

My 40 years has taught me that life can be wonderful and painful on any given day. I've got a strong soul and can handle pretty much anything...except crying. I hate to cry. Yesterday was the first time in a long time I've let it out. I also know there is much more to come. I have classes wed and thursday but may wind up skipping them if Mika's prognosis is dire.

The only thing I know for sure is it is lymphatic cancer and that is a very bad type to have...she is at a specialist in Philly with John and Brittany to see if there is anything they can do for her.

I am at school now...had to come in to take a chemistry test. I am sticking around long enough to show my next project to my design teacher and I am outta here...I can't concentrate anyway

My mind has been in a fog thinking about our baby.

Her appt is at 1 so it won't do me any good to rush out~

Our kids are so good together. John said they sat on the front step together yesterday for a looong time consoling each other. My MIL amazingly has managed to stay out of my way the last week or so. She has seen my temper and I know that with the situation as it is today I cannot guarantee not to snap on her. My mom's favorite saying about my temper is "if looks could kill, she'd be dead."

MIL has been told it is time for her to leave. Dad is ready to come home and said he'd go to a motel if she is still there. My mom has offered to take MIL in if she doesn't find a place in time.

On a good note, John went back to work today. He's gotten so much better in the last week or so. On the pain scale he's finally down to a 4 - in english that means he is uncomfortable but not hurting.

sorry for being such a debbie downer but I felt I needed to share with all of you~

Wow, sorry to hear all your bad news . . .

I'm just subscribing to the new thread . . . I still be be really active once we get back in the fall after the PC repo cruise, but I like to check in on this thread now and then . . . I am still more than willing to help out with the fish extender exchange, although as I recall, on our website we have a way to post there if we plan to have a FE . . .

Hi Chad

Hi Julie

I'm glad to see you drop by! Stick around if you have some time!

Tig, wow, I don't know what to say. I was fearing this when you said you were taking Mika to the vet. One thing I do want to tell you is don't be afraid to cry. It's good you let it out, and there's probably more to come. I'm a cry baby, but I ALWAYS feel better in some way after I've cried it out. You have a full load right now, but know that things will get better. What you said about Brit and Adrian consoling each other brought tears to my eyes. I know you're giving Mika extra love right now. Have you heard anything more?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Sorry for bringing you down bellilinus....

did you already have a fish or are you making one??? I'd like to make one for my family's cabin - heck, I'll even supply mom and the kids with some stuff to hand out to all who participate. (DH and I are not likely to make it and DSs exGF is out too.)


Aisling, John never made it to Philly. He spoke to the breeder and she gave him a different doc to take Mika to. She goes to him tomorrow. At this point, barring any miracle cures, we are only focusing on keeping her "comfortable."

Hello lady of leisure!!

Losing a pet is totally as bad as losing a loved one. Yes, it is because they are family and are devoted to us and on and on.
When my last two cats died it was terrible. I cried for weeks. They were 14. They are out front. For a while I found it terrible to use the front door. Mika is a beautiful animal. She is good natured and very loving. My heart goes out to you Colleen & the rest of our family.

I'm glad John is back to work. I'm still hoping you guys go on the cruise.

If Ilse only needs a few extra days don't have Gus stay at a motel. He can stay here. There is no sense in her having to move all that stuff. Of course if she needs more time. Yes, send her here.

If you need something I can help with let me know.

LYMI
Mom

Brenda, Jesse plays basketball, but he's not too good. He was on a team when he was younger, and he didn't want to continue. But I'm sure he'll want to get in on a game with the guys. Chad plays two nights a week on a team, so if we get a few more of our men together, they can have a nice macho sweat-fest!

between you & me...Ryan isn't all that good either - but he enjoys being on the school team with the guys....so i'm thinking there's going to be enough guys (& gals) who will get a few games going....Mel just might have his work cut out for him with Chad, Jesse, Ryan, Adrian & Britt~

OMG Colleen .....i am SO SO Sorry!!! Niner's Bd is tomorrow....he would have been 19....he's been gone 4 yrs now & I MISS HIM every day of my life! He was another child....i still have tears for that guy....and i still have not been able to even think of another dog....cry...cry often - cry hard....it never goes away - but the tears do help some.....keep Mika comfy like you said & do what you can - you'll know what's right when it's right....her eyes will tell you when she's ready....

Hello my lovelies! I hope you are all well. I am sitting on our balcony looking at the ocean and thinking about you gals! And I am tapping here on dick's crackberry!

and are you having a FABULOUS time?????

You didn't bring me down -- I have had a beloved dog die of cancer and know how important it is to be able to talk about it!

I have a fish extender that I have used on previous cruises . . . not one of those super clever homemade ones, but a cute Snoopy wall organizer that works just fine. You can just do that if you want to avoid the hassle of making one -- just get a hanging wall organizer with pockets.

That's how I figured we'd do an extender...I'll just fancy it up a little

Thank you all for the shoulders...I appreciate every last one of you~

You words help me tons...Brenda, I know what you mean about the look in her eyes

Mom, Ilse would be coming over before I sent Gus there or even a motel. He has priority here since he is not the one who ran away in the first place. It's a shame that she's made it so I don't care where she goes.

 

[Aisling]

Jill, you're aces!



I never had a dog, and have always wanted one, but besides Mel not wanting animals in the house, I'm afraid to get one because I know I'll get so attached and would be crushed if something happened to it. I have two sisters...one lost both of her doggies last summer, and she still cries over them from time to time. My other sister has one that she can't wait for him to go to the rainbow bridge. She says that now, but when the time comes, I think she'll feel it.

I'm so glad April Fool's day is over. I was getting crank phone calls all day. My brother milked the day to the very last minutes, calling me from North Dakota at almost midnight to tell me that my mother was on Amtrak on her way down to the city to visit me and that I'd better get to the station right away. I was about to run out the door, and he says "April Fools!"

My other brother got a mean joke played on him. His co-workers put fake bullet-hole stickers all over his car. One of them went to the window in the office and shouts "Barry, is that your car???" So he runs to the window, sees the bullet-holes, and freaks out. "Who the blank shooting at me??? My son was in that car this morning!!!!" He tries to run out the door, and they stop him, all laughing, but he was so upset, it took him a while to calm down. My poor naive brother.

So now I'm out and about, shopping, hair appointment, odds and ends. I have my religion class today at 3:00, and I'm looking forward to it as I haven't seen the kids in two weeks due to Easter break. I have a wonderful group of kids this year, but I think this will be my last year teaching. I say that every year, so we'll see.

Robin, we did Palo on semi-formal night, which worked out well, as we too didn't want to miss out on the other "special" nights. It was nice, and I'd do it again.

 

[CADZNYCHC]

You words help me tons...Brenda, I know what you mean about the look in her eyes
It's a look i'll never forget Colleen...one so full of love that told me how much he loved me & would always be with me....but that he was ready to leave this earth.....

Mom, Ilse would be coming over before I sent Gus there or even a motel. He has priority here since he is not the one who ran away in the first place. It's a shame that she's made it so I don't care where she goes.

I sure feel for you here with this situation too....i'm sure its a tough one for you & John....but sure that your 'home life' will be more relaxed once she's gone & Gus is back~
