Something About Nothing..........#11

Little Bluer is doing well considering. He had been my little rock. He is always cuddling with me and making sure I sleep and eat. He protects me from these things.

aw, hang in there, I know it's hard.

I enjoy the new website from my iPhone and iPad's.

I just added a icon to my home page for the dis boards. The icon looks exactly like the Dis app that was out. I have it linked right to the dark side area. Now that it has been out awhile I find the new website way faster than the app was.

Click on this link.

Then hit the box with the up arrow and choose add to home screen. Then you will have a nice shortcut to the dark side area.

Excellent and thanks! I'll be working on figuring out photobucket in the next few days. Hope all of you up north are staying warm.

Speaking of October, DH & I, admittedly after the harsh winter and lubricated by a few adult beverages, put our heads together this weekend and decided to cross off a few things from the travel bucket list. we are working on firming up a multi-stop Halloween-themed trip that will conclude at US with our annual HHN visit.

Sounds like a lot of fun things planned.........I did smile when I read that.........DH and I planned many a European trip, always unexpected.....around a few adult beverages........always worked out well enough Don`t blame you....bad weather always makes me want to plan something.


Nice but kinda cold here today, haven`t been out for 3 days........getting a little stir crazy. Even listening to 80s music on the radio is getting too repetitive even for me. Have to go out tomorrow.

Have you ever taken advice from someone about a place...only to find out they`ve never even been there despite them claiming to be an expert on it?????????? You have to laugh really.

Anyway, hope everyone`s doing ok

carole thanks for the encouragement. I had a friend who would shop online with PUI (posting under the influence) then be very surprised during the week by the accumulated boxes on her porch the following week. btw, that sounds like there's a good back-story as to the 'advice' lol.

finally, after several false-starts, going to see spongebob movie this afternoon. GD informed me she doesn't require lunch today, bucket of popcorn, m&ms and soda will suffice. Works for me, i get to send her home afterwards hehe. it was -9 when I woke up. hope it's a bit warmer when we head out brrr. supposedly going to catch a break next week and maybe hit 40 degrees, my pooch will be , finally warm enough for a walk.

Lol at your friend......I try not to PUI.......I may say something I won`t regret

Friend told me she knew someone who had been to Berlin, I was last there when the wall came down so a long time ago. We thought we might have a weekend away in May. She told me to call her so I called her just after lunch today and asked her loads of questions about one particular area....bla bla.....after 15 minutes it dawned on me she was being vague. Yep eventually she said, well I haven`t actually been, but I have been to Germany!!!! Yes so have I but .......oh dear I was disappointed........so if anyone wants to know about Vermont....well, I`ve been to NY does that count Called my friend back and she laughed and said she should have known!!!

Hope you enjoy the spongebob movie......and gets a bit warmer You over the nasty tummy bug you had?

brr indeed. Very cold days today and to follow. And to think, DD's soccer coach thinks as long as it is double digits, even 20, it's ok to do outdoor practice. umm, those practices I will sit in the car.

Oh and Kiesha, since no one is answering about California, I always rent, but I think I'd just do a towncar from and to the airport, and taxi's the other times. From SNA I'd give myself around 3 hours, so that early start will be very early. Good thing, SNA is a much smaller airport, so maybe more like 2 and a half hours before. That time of day, I assume the traffic will not be as bad as it could be.

Bluers - sending good thoughts.

Mac - no more snow -ok? Told the kids we can get snow even in April. It's going to be a cool spring.

Looking forward to some pics!

lol thanks lynne! talk about a dead board. you must have nerves of steel to brave those roads. SNA is our preferred airport for DL, one of the smallest airports we've travelled thru vs the dump that is LAX.

I get antsy watching the meter tick on cabs, especially when said vehicle isn't moving. have seen some killer gridlocks as we speed by in the HOV lane = think i'll book something with a 'fixed' rate for the longest haul.

Are you thinking of heading out west this year too?

outdoor soccer practice in the snow?

 

[marciemi]

marci - will check the TR out. re airfare out of the gate re SWA, we do the fixed week in October too, look forward to it all year! Our market is not very competitive and airfare tends to do nothing but rise for popular dates/times thru SWA. Book most of my travel 11 months out due to the DVC taskmaster to get a nice room at the inn = I'm the idiot setting the alarm to book airfare, hotel rooms & ADRs. Oh, the shame lol.

So when are you here in October? Are you also here in May at some point? Would love to actually meet you in person sometime!

 

[Cielei]

hi all! Back from our cruise and finally settling back in - although it was brutal to leave 70s and arrive to -20! Maybe now, I'll catch my breath and be able to catch up. Hope everyone is doing well!

So we are back from vacation...had a wonderful time.

I keep saying to myself that things only have to get better. With the past three months of my life, as well as my family's, I felt that things could only get better. But I spoke too soon I suppose. On the way back from FL (we drive) on Sunday,about 5 minutes from home. My mother is driving, Dad is dozing, my husband is in the center seat and I am in the back with Chris. All of a sudden,my father starts making this strange noise and becomes all rigid for about 10-15 seconds. He then goes completely limp and is unresponsive. My husband tries to check for breathing and maintain an open airway. I jump forward and try to see if he is breathing. He had his eyes open, staring straight ahead, saliva coming out of his mouth and completely gray in the face. From what I could tell, he was unconscious and potentially not breathing. My husband and I began CPR until my mother was able to pull over (ice mounds were covering the shoulders on the parkway) and called 911. I jumped out of the car and ran to the passenger side. I checked his pulse, which he had and by this time, he had some color back and was gurgling. The EMTs arrived and had to lift him on a stretcher. By the time he got to the hospital, he was coherent and answering questions. The have done a load of tests and everything has come back negative. He is still in the hospital, but they are actually focusing on his lower back. They found some compression fractures (no clue from what or when they occurred) and starting to get him back on his feet. Hopefully he will be home by the end of the week. It just seems to never end.

Thanks for letting me vent on here....and March better be a good month for my family!!!!!

 

[macraven]

that had to be a very scary time for all of you!
i hope he is ok and better real soon.

you've had a lot happen in the past 3 months.
keep us posted.

 

[RAPstar]

^^Hope you're dad gets better soon and there's nothing to serious wrong with him!

I miss the days where when it was frozen outside I could skip work. Oh well.

 

[Lynne G]

Kfish - sending hugs! I hope your Dad is doing better and will be healthy soon. That is so scary.

Keisha - yes, they play in the snow and yes, we will be west bound, but around the holidays, as said soccer now controls vacation times. It is not fun driving this time of year. Black ice and just plain ice is still on the streets and walkways. More snow tonight, but it looks like may be just enough south of us, we just get a "dusting". And, funny, people in our area are complaining the tap water is making us more thirty. Seems some of the salt from the road, well the tons of salt on the road, have made our tap water more salty. I can't taste the difference though.

Ceilei - welcome back. Glad to hear you had a nice vacation.

 

[Bluer101]

Kfish hugs to you and your family. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. That must have been scary thing to happen especially in a vehicle.

 

[keishashadow]

Kfed - eek, amazing you dodged a traffic accident.

marci - yes, pencil us in as the dates get closer. we come into WDW/AK on May 16th & will head down to Clearwater on the 21st. The August trip is w/DIL & GD; figure they will run me like a rented mule, they do rope drops. In October we will arrive in Orlando/RPR early evening on Wednesday, Oct 7 and leave on the 10th. Plan is to do HHN on Thurs & Friday with limited time in the parks during the days in order to be able to run away from the ghouls during the nights.

cielei - how was the cruise?

andy - homie don't play that here as to missing work for frost or snow, although it is a very good idea imo. have to laugh how they shut down the federal govt in DC every time they get a dusting of snow.

 

[Lynne G]

I am so ready for Friday! Thanks for the picture. Oh, and Kiesha, I wrote a more detailed info to your question on the other board. I love to remember and research! LOL.

A sunny, very cold day. Hope all are doing well.

 

[buckeev]

Dang K-Fish...You do know there is NO AWARD for having the most rough family times, right!
Thankful that Pops pulled through that and prayerfully, they will get him fixed up ASAP! Stay strong and keep us updated!

Bluer clan, happy thoughts for y'all too.

Andy...Keep that feezin' stuff above the Eye-20 line of Demarcation, OK?

Red Leader...Do something. Dang...It's cold here...got into the 30's the past few days here in SE TX..(that's positive 30's for youse snowbirds!)
If there aren't skis and ski poles involved, I don't want ANY part of temps like that!!!

Y'all keep warm!

 

[tink1957]

Kfish...what a scare at least everyone responded calmly so your dad could get the help he needed...hope they find out what's wrong and he's on the mend soon.

Janet....hope we can finally meet this fall..I'm still not sure of my dates...probably 9/30 - 10/7 so we may be cutting it close.

We're supposed to get a few inches of snow tonight and everyone has lost their minds as usual....work closed early so it's a good thing for me and probably will be delayed tomorrow....yep Robbie I feel your pain

 

[keishashadow]

Tink - let me know as dates get closer, lots of homies invading in October
