Sorry Scott! - I didnt ignore you on purpose! - I posted then left my pc, only just come back on....as I tell Jeff often - my lights on but often theres no-one home - I just leave it sitting there idle and hit refresh when I pass the pc.

I know its a couple of hours late but....Hello back!

Thats OK, I had to run lil DW to swim. Now I am back and can catchup and talk till Carrie comes home.

 

[MinnMick01]

Hi Carrie (or is it Scott ?)

Hi Missy

Jessalynn,
I am a partner in a private firm that provides managed security services to businesses. We also do communication technologies as well. This is the job that provides for me. The other job I perform is done for free, I provide as much as I can back to the world. One of the twins has down syndrome (Alyssa). She just had a second surgery on her ankles to correct her in-step. I got the bill this week which was over $20,000 for this last procedure. Our insurance picked up 50% of that and a program that Alyssa belongs to picked up the balance. The first surgery was much the same. She also had major heart surgery shortly after being born and it too was almost the same scenario. Since there is a program that has taken care of such large loose ends with Alyssa, I work very hard to make sure it is given back. I also work for a company serving over 300 participants like Alyssa (only older) that provide day services, jobs and care. As much as it would be nice to have a second wage, doing it for free is one of the best ways to balance off what the world does for Alyssa.

John

She sounds like a very brave and courageous girl

I hope she recovers quickly from her surgery.

Who's up for a good laugh?

With everyone adding the logo to their signature line, most people saved the picture to their own photobucket sight. But not Nancy.

She linked to my photobucket site so I am in control of the pictures. With me being the "ALL POWERFUL" then on it, I had some fun. Go to her last post and take a look at her KK Logo.

Sorry Nancy, I had to do it.

I will switch it back later. For now, I want to have some fun and laughs, at your expense of course.

Jeff

p.s. I am not responsible for anyone's computer screen "spew".

Today the twins are fine! Fingers crossed, no calls yets from the nurses office and only a couple of hours left in school. Now I am not sure what to do about telling them about the trip. Surprise them the day of, week of or sooner. I'm going to share those ideas with Dawn and make her decide.

Thanks everyone for all the camera advice, I started gathering little gel packs from unopened items around the house, gonna grab some fresh ones closer to October. Cass has the right idea of buffering the cold to hot climate too. Hopefully we won't have any camera trouble, our kids love watching the DVDs from other trips before bed. Over and over, I would never live it down if I screwed one up.

John what a wonderful way to look at life and give back to others wont it be a wonderful world if everyone could be like this?
Lots of pixie dust to Alyssa, she sounds a very brave girl, wishing her a speedy recovery.
I love the idea of showing them the DVD of the cruise.....
Im excited jsut thinking about how you and Dawn will tell them....

A treasure hunt is another good idea, that ive seen photos of and read about on the DIS..... you could get them reading clues etc

 

[Lindy Loo]

Nancy lots of for your Dad

Jeff--What did you change on Nancy's logo? I think I missed it.

 

[AverysMommy]

Kristin turns 23 this coming Monday (June 11th) and we will also have a party for her. I offered to go out for dinner but she requested my spaghetti and meatballs with buttery garlic bread instead. I'll make sure that I have a tossed salad too. For dessert we are having her favorite: Confetti Angel Food Cake with strawberries and whipped cream.

Oh yeah, almost forgot...Happy Birthday Jessalyn!! (I hope I got that one right).

Thank you for the birthday wishes - its been a good day so far - lots of roses!

Off to dinner in a few minutes

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY JESSALYN

I am now officially much older than you Karen as I believe you are still "in your 30s".

I am going to try and do Step 2 on my new running program tonight so I will probably really feel like i am "in my 40s" afterwards

Thanks
Jessalynn

 

[AverysMommy]

Happy Birthday Jessalynn!!!

Thanks Cass - I still cant believe we are the only Canadians on this cruise......I always find tons of Canadians when we go to WDW.

I am sorry if my question is out of place - please forgive me if you are offended - but how is the Disney about dealing with Alyssa? What I mean is - will they allow you to drop her off at the Lab alone if you feel it is best for her. Or will they accept her on all excursions. In my opinion they should allow you to make the decisions as you are the best person to determine what she is capable of doing/handling?

My neice who lives with me has a number of physical and developmental challenges - and I run into it a lot when people who dont know her try and decide what is best for her instead of letting me decide....

Thanks for all the kind words. I kinda wish the girls new already about the trip, Alyssa especially. She is not one to talk a lot yet but she can look at pictures all day long and if she seen the photos of others before she left and read the messages, you would all be doomed. She'd seek you all out and curse you with the hugs.

She likes to be loud when she yelling at her sister as they play but she's mostly quiet otherwise. I will have to post a picture so you can identify with her when you see her. Chances are you'll see her in a food line, she'll have the world's biggest cheeseburger smile on and she'll be looking right at you. BTW she loves to eat, if you need an eating partner she's always ready. Not sure where she sticks the food, she's all of 55lbs.

She has more friends than we ever imagined. She does so much crazy stuff at home that we think she must have zero friends at school yet when I go to the grocery store or out shopping with her there are constantly kids and adults coming up and hugging her and saying high. You'd swear she was the mayor or something.

Again thanks, I bet she's gonna running by the time we hit port. Watch out, she's likely to steal your place in any line serving food.

John
