I've never heard of Moducare. Is is a compound of herbs?

 

[Denine]

Moducare is a compound of plant sterols & sterolins. It is not an herb. Type in moducare on yahoo or something. There are plenty of sites that explain what it is.

I am off to Albany, NY. We will be back Friday. Jerry has to go for work and I am going with him.

Just thought I would let you all know that Lori really isn't all THAT psycho! We met for lunch today. It was very pleasant. She is as bubbly in person as she is on the boards. I think a lot of people thought that both of us were gambling on meeting someone we talk to on the internet. One more thing, she says she is a size 14 but don't believe it. If she is then I am a 22. Have fun in New York, Denine! Krista, did your parents get back from Durango? I thought about them when I heard about the fire there yesterday. Hope all is okay with them.

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Well, thanks Sandy!
You guys, Sandy is SO nice. (Just listen to the nice things she's saying about me ) but really, she even brought a surprise for my kids (and yes, a 12 is kinda tight and not comfy). Lunch was so enjoyable, an hour flew by like minutes. Oh, and I wish there had been witnesses ... she said she WAS parasailing at Castaway Cay! Let's hold her to it everyone!

Denine, the Moducare sounds very interesting. I'll try and remember to ask you about it in a few more months. Let me know if you choose against it for any reason. Have a good trip.

This Friday we're off to California, so if I don't ramble to you all again before then, have a nice week everyone. Isn't summer flying along already?
Hi also to Diana, Krista, Laurie and Strissel !

 

[Kristaia]

Thanks Sandy for asking about my parents. Yes, they are back and fine. My dad was fishing the whole time and has asthma, but didn't do too badly.
They were south of the fire, so the smoke wasn't that bad.

Have a great week everyone.
Krista

Hi guys. 3rd page again, are we having a wild summer or what!
We're out of here tomorrow and I'm procrastinating packing. I'll just visit with my girlfriends here for a while . OK, I know I'd better get the kids to bed and get packing. Just real quick then ...
Krista, I'm glad your Dad didn't have trouble with the air. I was surprised that my own kids were fine, since they have asthma too. I mentioned my pleasure about that to a friend and she explained to me that the levels of (whatever big term she used) "yukky stuff" in the air now is still much less than we usually have in our winter air. Don't know how good of news that really was ...
Diana, did you book your son's friend?

Have a good week everyone. I'll look forward to catching up with you all next week.

 

[Denine]

We are back from Albany. We had a decent time. I had a whole day to myself! I went swimming and sat in the hot tub. I did my needlework and went for a walk and took a nap. The drive was very nice both ways.
I have to work this weekend.
I can't believe it is past the middle of June already!
Have a good weekend!

 

[Denine]

Where is everyone? I found this on page 5.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi everyone, I am back to do laundry and off again. Seems like everyone is busy this summer and not as active. Happy you had a good time, Denine. See you all in a week or so. Sandy

 

[Denine]

Sandy: Enjoy yourself!

 

[disney6]

Hey gang! Been busy up here. School just let out this past Wed. and my parents were here for four days so we did "the Tour" (Niagara Falls, CN Tower, Toronto Islands, etc.) Had a great time and can't wait to go to Savannah (actually Tybee Island) to their house the end of July. No, I still have not added my DS's friend to our reservation so I really HAVE to do that next week! Guess it's getting close enough now to look into travel insurance also. We looked at the shore excursions while my DP's were here and think they and the boys will do the Atlantis submarine (I'm saving my $$ for the spa). Hopefully they will do the Catamaran with me in St. M.
With my DS home I won't be getting much computer time but will still check in once in a while. Have a great summer!!!

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Jeez Diana... just looking at those NINE Mickey and Minnie smileys, just about puts me into a panic. You are in charge of keeping all of those people organized too, right? Yikes.

Hi everybody. We just rolled on home today. I'll entertain you with the trip and a few interesting stories soon!

Hope camping was good ... again ... Sandy Hey, we passed a place called "Monument RV Campground" east of Grand Junction, but your place is at Monument Pass, right?

Thanks for rescuing the thread from the dregs of DIS Denine!

Have a good week all.

budser and susan514! Where are you ???

Just jump on in here any time. We haven't bitten yet!

The Dolphin Interaction at Seaworld was SO FREAKIN COOL! I'm so glad I did it. My sister, kids and I had a sweetheart of a dolphin (Pricilla) all to ourselves. They broke up 16 people into four groups of 4, and each had a private 'bay' area and their own dolphin and trainer. Everything about it was first class and worth every penny. (I should figure out how to insert a photo here, but I'm not that techie yet )
We drove past a couple of fires. One in Utah was right up the guard rail on the other side of the highway, so westbound was closed and we still made it past, heading home. Lucky! We had reserved a room in Green River and the people unable to drive west ended up looking for rooms there, but the whole town was booked. I felt pretty lucky that I had the thought to call the night before and book something. We seldom do that, but were pretty sure of where we'd stop for the night this time. Lucky, lucky, lucky.
It's sobering that there are so many fires going on at the same time. The only one we saw that made the news was by Idaho Springs. I hope people will be sensible and follow the 'no fireworks' law this year. I might just spend the evening home for a change, keeping the garden hose handy.
Oh, for your entertainment ... (drumroll ... ) Check out this trippy website. It's a web cam, set up to try and catch site of a ghost , you can even hear some sound, so have your volume on.
Here's the story ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apparently the owners of this house at times would see images and hear murmuring voices for some time. They supposedly researched the home's history and found that a lady once lived in the house who lost her husband during the Civil War. Legend says that she used to sit at the table and look across the fields in anticipation of her loved one returning home. He never came. So, they say she still waits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They set up a web-cam to take pics at 5 second intervals and caught this photo of what they claim to be her apparition. I am telling you that it is eerie once you start to see the ghost in the picture because it's not there at first, but then starts to form as you focus around the right window.
It took me a few seconds to find it, but when I did it just
stood out, kind of like one of those optical illusions that went around email for so long.
To save you some time, concentrate around the table. Best not to focus too much on one spot. Look around the table and toward the window.
Click on the link below for the picture. Best to maximize the window.
The really eerie part is once you start to see the figure, you can faintly hear something being said, but you need a little volume.

Hi everyone! Checking in again. Laundry day, again. Yes, Lori it is Monument Pass. It is called Colo. Heights Camping Resort. You have been busy Diana! Thanks Denine, we are having a good time. The campground is having nightly visitors. Yep, it's bears. One was tranquilized and put under. That makes me sad as the fires have chased them down here. It was his 3rd strike. We have two more. Hopefully, they will behave and not get tagged. I feel sorry for them. The deer are wandering through, also. It is hot, hot, hot. We did get much needed rain (and lots of it) last night. With that came hail. Not sure yet if we have hail damage. Hope everyone's summer is going great. Talk to all of you soon. Sandy

 

[disney6]

I said "s***" so loud my girls came RUNNING into the room!!!!

 

[Denine]

I hope everyone had a good 4th! Bears, huh? I don't suppose they were Wendel, Liverlips and Tennessee?

We are taking this cruise with our friends, Candy and Jim to celebrste Candy's 50th birthday. I'm the baby of this group at 47. We are from the Chicago area and have been friend for over 20 years.

We are also DVC members since 1993 and love it. I am looking forward to the next 4 months in anticipation of the cruise. and remember "NO HURRICANES".

Sue

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

I'm, so glad you enjoyed it Diana.
Did anyone else see the ghost?

Oh, I tracked down Sue who is on our cruise with her DH and another couple. I hope she'll pop in.
105 days, guys!
Lori
Too funny, Sue and I were typing at the same time!

 

[Denine]

Welcome aboard (home ) Sue! We are going to have a great time on this cruise. It is always fun to have a celebration on board. We are celebrating our 11th anniversary on the 19th, in-between Disney cruises. We will use sny excuse to go on a cruise!

 

[susan514]

Denine, thanks for the welcome.

I was one of those on last years 9/22/01 cruise and we were a chatty group. We had about 130 Dis members on it and it was a lot of fun. That same group is traveling next year but I don't think we will be going then.

My dh and I just took a cruise in Europe with Celebrity and had a great time with some people we met on Cruise Critic. It is fun to meet people from the internet and we aren't all axe murderers:

Everyone continue to have a good summer and Oct. will be here before you know it.

Sue
