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

[bumbershoot]

Hugs to mac's mom and Mac and everyone involved.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Mac and her mom have been in our thoughts and prayers for a little while now.

 

[Bluer101]

Morning everyone, I'm sure most of you have noticed macraven hasn't been posting recently. Well, a couple of weeks ago her mum took a turn for the worse and became quite poorly. Macraven has been spending all her time with her as she is now under hospice care. I did ask macraven yesterday if I could post this as I know people have started to wonder where she is and she said I could. I know a couple of people on here know, but most don't. I'm sure she knows how much we miss her on these boards and that we all send her prayers and lots of hugs.

Carol, I wasn't going to post anything until she gave the heads up. We have been in touch with her too. It's now been almost 3 weeks since the down hill turn. Also to everyone that does not know Mac personally I can tell you she is very family and friend orientated. One if the nice's people you will ever know.

Our thoughts go out to Mac too and the parental unit.

despite the circumstances had to smile to read that mac-ism.

she's really had so much to deal with last year or so, most would've caved by now. Don't know how she does it but it sure sez oodles about her strength of character.

Hugs and Prayers out to Mac And Mac Mums! Mom obviously did it right when she raised up such a caring person...not just for family, but for "total" strangers.
I know a few of us on here have lost loved ones lately and it is very tough and very stressful, but the good memories last forever..

Nice to see you miss mikki...........hope things are ok with you


Had the dullest day today........... A friend of a friend of a friend came round to get some stuff on Orlando visits.........man she was hard work........wanted to plan every second even at Universal.........wouldn't listen to anything.........oh well.......let her get on with it...........she's convinced she knows best.......another one who's never been! I had a friend like that before.......don't see her much after she said it was my fault they had to queue at Universal in July........I told them to stay on site........they didn't

I can't be doing with her cheapness either nothing wrong with wanting a bargain........but dear oh dear!!

Rant over.

Hope everyone's doing good

Morning all! 17 days 'till spring

so thrilled we missed the foot+ snow forecast and 'just' got dinged with 1/2 a foot of that white stuff! No, I am not being sarcastic, it's been a long winter & i'll pick my victories at this point

Carole - wanted to mention I did sign in early today here, no issues. Was up bright & early to buy our SWA tix for October. What a mess that was.they weren't able to process CC online & had to call in, can't remember the last time I booked with a 'live' person. Isn't it grand how people have no problem picking your brain, turn around & disregard your advice, then come back and complain about the trip? in RL & on message boards

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Sending calm and peaceful thoughts to Mac and her mum.
And of course BIG HUGS as well.

Lol.........Janet last 3 mornings I got on here between 8 and 10am UK time no problems at all......typical!!

I much prefer a "live" person when booking things.......as I have been known to nearly book the wrong place ............we nearly ended up in Australia a few years back when I was booking flights to Austria for the Grand Prix......... I was half asleep and that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it if anyone asks

Glad you eventually got your flights sorted

Yep I'm done giving some people advice......especially people who always want something for nothing. My poor DH got the brunt of me ranting about her last night........he did get the satisfaction of telling me he told me not to try and help her as she is known for disregarding advice and even though she has more money than God.......will not part with it..........not my cup of tea at all.



It's very spring like today here, very sunny but cool..............so got some housework done.......not much though

I don't plan anything on our trips.....but...........trying to make some kind of plan for our New York trip. 9 days we'll be in Long Island staying with relatives, but 5 nights in Manhattan. Having been last year gives me an idea of where everything is, so in trying to pull together a rough guide of what to do each day.......so much choice.

Only thing for certain at the moment is the night we see Wicked............can't wait to see that again

Anyways.......hope everyone's doing good.......happy Monday

Morning all!

Keisha, we too dodged the snow. 3 or so inches instead of the foot and more our neighboring states got. It's cold though, low of 6 tonight. I hate the wind, so the chill is still below freezing. 21 the high today.

Booked my SW tickets. Higher than I would like, but I am going to keep checking. I prefer the times I got, so unless there's a big drop for a different time, I'm stuck with the higher than I wanted fare. Oh well. Rentals seem high also, so have that booked right now too, but will keep checking that also. So, ADRs set, BBB set, Party set, rooms set, tickets set. Wahoo!!

Spring here we come, as summer will then follow!

My kids are also getting stoked to see the new HPland. Ads keep running on the TV, so intererst seems to not waiver too much.
DD got a cute minnie shirt to wear at WDW and a Marvel shirt to wear at USO. I was shocked she still wants to wear shirts with characters on them. And for Schumi, she also got a NY sweatshirt. She's now a fan of the teen upscale stores. My poor pocketbook.

Ouch........that's gotta hurt..........teen shoppers are expensive..........I love stuff with NY on......brought my boy some NY Yankees stuff back from New York............he wears the hat when we're in Orlando........that's it!

Janet......did you say you had been to Morton's Steakhouse before? I have a vague recollection of you mentioning them before..but not sure really if it was you..........I like the look of the menu. I love Ruth's Chris steakhouse but boys looking for somewhere else so thought this might be somewhere they might like too. Other alternative is Charley's or Johnnies Hideaway at Crossroads.

woohoo

we have a 6 amish flight in October, next NS doesn't get into MCO until after 2:30 pm. choices have been curtailed since the impending SWA/AT merger. if the airfare is under $300 pp I'm happy enough, try not to look at pricing in other markets lol. Finally snagged a good rate w/Alamo in May, 11 days = little over $200. Thus far for October $230 for 8 days.

no, only because it's downtown here and parking is a bear, but it's generally considered a notch up the food chainfrom Ruth Chris. My family are fans of Ditka's, there's one in the Swan/Dolphin. Do you like the Palm at the HRH?

Oh I like Ditka's menu..........it looked good!! I can't remember now who said they had been to Morton's.

We did like The Palm, but we never seem to want to venture back to HRH for some reason.......just don't really like it very much. Well, still got plenty of time to read more menus


Sat up late last night watching The Shining........I had always missed the beginning of this movie, but watched it all through.........it still freaks me out a bit after all these years!

Off out to a mall today with DH............just fancy a bit of shopping. It's around an hour or so away. Need to stock up on some Yankee candle's and maybe some clothes.......and have a bit of lunch out, that's always nice.

Have a great Wednesday........

 

[keishashadow]

What day is it?

love the shining (and Jack), was trying to save the sequel to read on next trip but not sure I can wait.

 

[Lynne G]

Come on Keisha, where's that Camel?

A sunny (but cold) hump day!

Happy Wednesday to all!

 

[Mikkimús]

It started snowing again here in Iceland, we have had a pretty mild winter. February almost snow free, should have known that it wasn´t over

 

[Cielei]

Hugs and prayers to Mac and her family/friends. :good vibes

We might just actually get above freezing sometime soon! I never thought a 35 degree forecast could make me almost giddy, but I am so over this winter!

LOVE The Shining...Especially the music. The opening piece is awesome..(Berlioz, me thinks..maybe not..) Too bad Jack's a Lakers fan.
