Hey cool, lots of ol friends back in the mix.
Hi's to Heather, Dawn, Connie and Randy, Marie, who thinks she might get hurt if she came with us, Danielle, Lisa, and Babynurse who's still searching for Captain Jack's booty call.
I mean booty.
There's a couple of other screen names I recognize, just don't know the real names, hi to you too.
Nowellsl, you posted a picture of a pretty girl, then said it's not you?
Can we do this?
Use stunt doubles?
From now on I'm looking for pictures of Brad Pitt at Disney World and using them instead of myself.
( I still can't believe he and Jolie named their kid Shiloh, how long will it take in grammar school for some clever, rotten kid to realize he's struck gold if he switches the first letters of Shiloh's first and last name around?)
Tracy, you are now giving yourself a shot every week?
Definately worth a cruise!
Which brings us to the title, and yes, you won't like this.
Remember when I said it will be a "stranger ride" cuz I've got to do the drive with one eye?
Well, tomorrow is another appointment, and believe me, I'm not looking forward to it. Since this happened to my left eye back on New Years I'm running abnout 50% with having to get an injection when I see him.
I wake up in the morning sad.
By the time we get in the car I'm whimpering.
Half way there I start bawling,
and by the time we arrive she has to drag me out
screaming and pry my hands off the steering wheel.
My last visit last month started out benign, the OCT pictures are no problem, but then he wanted a batch from the OPTICAL CANON, (tm GrandBob, I believe).
This was followed by more pictures only with dye running through my arm up to my retina.
20 minutes later lookinig at the pics he was,
"Uh oh, yep, it's leaking through again, time too meet Mr. Needle again."
That was when I hit him.
"Yeah it's leaking, if you hadn't injected the dye in me it wouldn't be in the eye in the first place!"
Made sense to me.
Come to think of it, the medicine injected is in fluid form,
seems to me that's just adding to the fluid that's seeping through my macula, shouldn't we be trying to suck some fluid out, not add more to it?
Let's see, we've got 7 pounds of fluid in a five pound eye,
(substitute proper word), let's inject another 3 pounds and make it an even ten!
You realize I'm going to show you a picture, don't you?
I'll start off nice though.
Here is from just two days before the last eye doc visit,
our oldest son, Todd, made the wisest choice of his life and married Kim, I was required to rent a tux since they new last year that it was going to be an outdoor wedding in the sun and was going to hit 93 degrees that day.
The wedding was about 30 miles away,
so most ofo us stayed at a nearbye Hyatt that had shuttle service. You know how we are big on the "room views" all the time when we check in at Disney?
I had to do it, take a picture of our room view at this Hyatt in Lisle, Illinois.
Ha ha, that makes the dreaded parking lot view at Pop Century seem like a Magic Kingdom view from the Poly.
now, here's me getting ready to leave the room, not knowing how long we will haveto shake and bake in the sun for pictures before and after the ceremony.
That big smile?
Iwas thinking open bar, manhattans, don't have to drive.
up next is youngest son standing on the left, with grandon Jackson:
Remember those manhattans I mentioned?
Smidgy and I after I trained the bartender how to make them correctly.
speaking of bartenders, don't I look like I should be behind the the bar meeting Crazy Gugenheim?
For those of you wondering, yes, the moustache fell off again not too long after the last December trip, I never know when it's gonna come or go.
But, now did you catch the overall theme?
Lotsa smiles, lotsa smiles not knowing what's coming two days later, although I think my left eye had a
bad feeling someting was coming again, it's already in protective mode in the last picture.
Lean back from the monitor and approach cautiously:
I wish I had been the one actually taking the picture, I would have loved to see how it came out on the "Fireworks" setting.
I loved going up to people while wearing dark sunglasses and asking them if they minded looking to see if there's something in my eye as I whisked them off. For some reason some people didn't find that funny.
Andyway, you will forgive me my manhattans tonight as I prepare for tomorrow's meeting.
Next installment, we'll get back on Disneytrack, honest.
Oh, and really, you don't have to respond to the eye thing again, we did all that last report and I appreciate your concern, I'm not the only one with problems and I don't handle sympathy well.
hey, I missed one down here:
They're back - yeah!
Let the action begin... Can't wait for a new PTR/TR from my favorite trip writing duo!! I am trying to convince hubby that we need to get away from it all Disney style the week of Sept. 12th -- I have not gotten a definate no - but still no yes either - I will have to work harder on that now, knowing you guys will be there! I hope I don't sound like a stalker
!
It's the NewJoisey Tinkerbell mom, wow, it appears to me in your signature that you were just there a month ago, and want to go back already? You truly are a Disser with the incurable disease.
Sure, show your hubby the picture of the close up of my eye and tell him you want to meet this guy!
that'l work.
night all, it's thirsty out
I'm here and so excited for the Nebo/Smidgy PTR and TR! We aren't going until 10/5 - 10/10 (only 5 1/2 days technically 
) BUT we will be back in June 2012, so I'm trying not to freak out here....
I like it back there!
okay never mind about staying calm if you burnt down the reception.
But how did that tidbit of information slip past all those banana peels?
