[tink1957]

Good afternoon everyone

Glad to see you posting again mac...hope you're feeling better now

Bon voyage to Carole and Janet...enjoy the warm weather this week

Lynne...get better soon hot lemon water usually helps me when I have a cold.

What a cute pup keisha...he's so fluffy I just want to hug him. Hope he feels better soon. I had to keep both dogs inside last night since it was 28 and they come in when it gets below freezing. Unfortunately, Jack must have eaten something that disagreed with him and I had my own mess to clean so I feel your pain.

Good news is it's going to be in the 70s this weekend.

Only 15 days to go for me and Patty

Have a great day homies

 

[Lynne G]

Ah doggie upset tummies. Yep, and I had a motion sickness dog. Try cleaning out the gear shift inside your car. Hence, he never got fed at least for many hours before he was allowed in the car. That, and human upset tummy, had to clean not only the upper bunk, but the bunk rails and lower bunk. Yep, a mom's job, when the toss your cookie one is four paws or two feet.

Cool, with the windows whistling from the wind. Forgot my sunglasses, but from the looks of the sky, won't need them on the ride home. Heated car seat, thank you very much. And even more relieved that Patty is enjoying the snow, and not me.

Eh, I hate icy roads. Even though it took you longer, glad to hear no issue with the icy roads, Keisha.

Bacon? Did you say bacon? All to Keisha's house. Yeah, there are some that say no rawhide should be given to any pup to eat. My dogs were power chewers, so we had our share of those large rawhide toss sticks. We'd find them managed under the sofa, and in a shoe, or other odd place, and they were tossed when I thought they were icky. A new one was used when you wanted the dogs to not bother you for at least 1/2 hour. Hope that cute little white guy is feeling better soon, and carpet was not too hard to clean. And hope your house is less dog torn up too, Tink. Yay for your countdown, Tink.

My grandmom lived in Miami, and I don't remember her having heat or AC. Sorry your also having some cool weather, Tgrgrl.

Time for more tea. Cool inside, I guess all thought the oven heat we had yesterday was too hot, well, take that, jacket or sweater needed today.

Enjoy the rest of today. Hoping all are feeling good.

Finally, YAY! Schumi family in vacation mode. Safe flight tomorrow.

 

[Squirlz]

So where's everyone staying? We check in to RPR on 12/11.

[Monykalyn]

Hey peeps!
Pop in-have a few minutes. I have been reading along just no time to comment!
Got outside decorations up Saturday while warm, then the winds came sunday-holy moly was it windy. Locked chickens up as the wind gusts would have hurt them. Rapid temp drop, sleet later in evening-thankfully didn't stick, but chilly temps around until tomorrow. Warms up in time for snow chance monday night (uck).

Busch Gardens was fun, but cold. We decided not to ride any rides.

Glad you had fun and made it home safe, hate driving that long in rain. Years and years ago we went to Silver Dollar City for Christmas (free tickets) and it rained and was cold-we just had the oldest kid at the time. We had so much fun-drank hot chocolate all day, browsed the shops, did rides between rain and saw all the shows. The pictures from that visit show us looking bedraggled with cold red cheeks and big smiles.

Liv survived her Black Friday weekend.

Yay! Glad they treated her well.

he good news is there's nothing left for him to tear up. He's a good dog but he wasn't trained correctly...he's learning now.

good puppy!

Nothing like sharing sickness with the family

Ugh-hope the tea works and you are feeling better soon!!

VA’s BG not my favorite just too many hills and the summertime humidity there is brutal, worse than MCO at times.

Silver Dollar City is like that. Bonus is hardly any strollers and next to no ECV's or wheelchairs-they are welcome but the hills are killer on battery (ecv) and legs (stroller). Especially as you go downhill on way in and it is a looooonnnnggg trek uphill to get out!

My baby is two today

yes, he did get goodies

Can he be any cuter???? My DD keeps tagging me in rescue pups from her local animal shelter. Just not ready for another furry family member yet.

My sweet lil pooch has been upchucking all morning. Somebody gifted him a large chew thing over the holiday,

Oh no! poor baby!

Love it!! Yes we are indeed!!!

Yeah that was our family when we lived in Texas and Orlando-we'd call home in January and be sitting outside in shorts and family was digging out from snow LOL!

although both are pretending they’re awake.....lol......snores don’t lie!!

LOL! guys are catching up on sleep from not sleeping night before! Safe travels!!

We will miss all you guys as we are doing the INSANE thing and going between Christmas and New Years. Right now I have Cabana Bay 12/25-12/29. Really only need 12/26-12/29 but there must be a minimum night stay requirement. Need to call tomorrow. If I can get them to waive the minimum night thing I will switch to RPR or Sapphire Falls, although DH prefers to have more room. If they won't waive and we decide we don't need 12/25 will switch to offsite, as our passes include the EP after 4 anyway. Decisions...
Haven't done any Christmas shopping. Will be way pared back anyway-my family and sisters are doing a dirty santa gift card exchange and the babies will will still get a small gift. Most of our kids are old enough to enjoy the gift card thing I think-Target, amazon, walmart, starbucks (even my son likes their specialty Hot chocolates and frappacino) allows them to shop for what they want.

Youngest kid 7th grade band concert tonight, middle kid out bell ringing for Salvation Army. Have volunteer stuff tomorrow night, Friday night, all day saturday- I think Sunday is free...When people say "vacation again"? Well yes-after weeks of 12 hour days (between work and kid stuff and our volunteer/community commitments I need some "free" time LOL!

Started watching "the Haunting of Hill House"-have only jumped 5 times in 3 episodes so far...very creepy...probably wasn't the best decision to start watching with hubs out of town tomorrow until sunday and wind howling and banging...

Stay warm ya'll! hope Florida warms up!

 

[pattyw]

There is nothing insane about any vacation!! You'll have a great time- even if you don't go on any rides!

 

[Lynne G]

Aw, heck MonyK, there's never enough vacations in my book. Congrats on scoring CB, even if you can't get all the nights there. I'd keep trying, people cancel and change all the time. And having enough room for all, is a good thing. And nice to have the premiere passes. We did Universal the 28 to 31 last year. Yep, crowds, but we had a great time. Stayed at RPR. I'm eyeing a Spring trip, as little one and I have SW credits to burn. Have to check her class schedule.

With that, another cool start at 36, and thankfully a lighter wind. Dark as well, as the cloud cover is quite thick. Rain predicted this week-end, but also thankfully, it usually means warmer air. Like 60's on Sunday. No need to put the shorts away in the back of the closet.

Ah, thirsty Thursday is here. And yes, hydration is important, particularly when not feeling well, when feeling hot or cold, and anytime when wanting tea or coffee.
Yep, drink up.

So, once again, time for tea. Tissue box ready, and so is the tea. Just finished a piece of pie, yum, so now drugs and tea. Oh, and a happy commute. Guess the colder weather had lots sleep in today, that or many are telecommuting.

And a sneaky woot!

 

[bobbie68]

Good morning Sans ...It was a cool start to our morning too. It was in the 30's but the sun is out!!! We are suppose to get some rain this weekend. We will be going to do some outside activities if the rain holds for a bit. We will also start working on cleaning out stuff inside. One year and a half will sneak up on us to move...If I ever need motivation to get cleaning out it's watching Hoarders. We watched a couple of episodes last night and got up after that and did some cleaning.

I may have mentioned that Charlie stays here once a week but for the past 3 weeks he has been here. He doesn't seem to want to go home, and we will not force him. It seems that everything with his family has caught up to him and he is just done with them. He did have lunch with his aunt a couple of weeks ago and after speaking with her he felt it was okay to feel the way he does about his parents. It is more his mom than his dad, but he has his share too. His mother took Liv and him for dinner Monday night and she was good they said. Of course she told him he can come home now. Long story short his brother (real jerk) moved to college. (The mother favors this son for guilt reasons). His brother asked if his friend(transgender wants to be male) and his boyfriend can use the his bed and the room a several days a month. Charlie said okay but not really understanding what he was agreeing too. After the first time they stayed he was very uncomfortable. That is when he started staying here more. For the last couple of months it has been more. I guess his mother kicked them out and told Charlie he can come back now. He doesn't want to now. After everything she has put him through especially taking the brother's side, he wants nothing to do with it. Believe me his brother has done awful things to him. His situation was bad to begin with, his step father was abusive. He is happy here and doing really well. If he wants to go home he can anytime. We just keep the door open here for him and knows he is welcome. It is stressful trying to juggle another teen here and waiting for his mother to start stuff!

Yes I agree always a mom to the two and four legged babies!!


Anyway....

Mac I was glad to see you post! I hope you are continuing to feel better! Miss your posts!

Schumi and family I hope you had safe travels and enjoy your trip It looks like it started off great!

Patty Tink and Squirlz I hope you guys enjoy your trips. Safe travels and soak up some warmth for us here in the North

Monykayln how nice to do a Christmas trip. I am sure you guys will enjoy every moment and have lots of fun! I hope your room situation works out! Happy planning Thanks I am glad she made it too

Lynne I hope you feel better soon. Hot liquids always feel better. I remember when I was younger and was sick use to use the Theraflu all the time! Hot tea and herbs work great!

Keisha cute pup...I hope he feels better!

Tgrgrl I hope the weather warms up for you! I have been told where we are looking in the Orlando suburbs that we will not escape the cold all the time. It is still better than where I am!

to Robo , Charade and all my other Sans family! I hope everyone has a great day

 

[pattyw]

Bobbie- So nice of you to be there for Charlie! You're giving him a safe & comfortable place!!

Cold today but the temps will climb above freezing so the snow will be melting!

Have a great day all!!

 

[Lynne G]

Bobbie, so nice you have a safe place for Charlie. Once he is 18, he can make any choice he wants. Sorry to hear of how not so nice his family is to him. though it brings stress, know that Charlie is very lucky to find a safe place for himself, to set him on the right path to adulthood, and all that. Lots of hugs to you. Teens, yep, know it well.

Woot! For the snow melting Patty. That must mean you're above freezing. We get some peaks of sun, but mostly has been a gray day so far.

No matter, a huge cheesecake (homemade!) arrived. Gonna get a slice to save for an afternoon treat. It will go fast.

Ah, almost time for lunch. Will still bundle up, cool outside still, think in the 40's now.

 

[Robo56]

Good morning Sans family

Sounds like everyone is busy with Christmas and travel plans.

Lynne sending get well wishes and mummy dust for you and your family to get better soon.

Sending get well wishes to Mac.

Hope agavegirl1 is still recovering well.

Keisha what a cute pooch. Hope your furry buddy feels better soon. Just think you and hubby will be in the sun soaking up some feel better time. Sun on your face and cocktail in your hand is a good medicinal. Have a great relaxing trip.

Schumi and family are in the air and should be touhing down soon for their journey to their home away from home. Wishing you all a great trip. I know it will be a great one as you have your son with you this time. Nice smiling photos of you all at airport hotel.

Bobbie68 so glad to hear Liv made it through Black Friday at Target so nice they provided them food. You and your husband are so kind and loving to offer Charlie a place to call home away from the complications he has at home.

We celebrated grandsons birthday on Thanksgiving. He turned 15. He is about 6’3 and now I look up to him.



Have most of the Christmas shopping done and wrapped.

Have a shopping trip to Nashville planned in a couple weeks with granddaughter. Finally found hotel between both Malls we want to visit. Just a nice getaway to enjoy some time with granddaughter. Stayed in Nashville many years ago, but things have changed a lot since I stayed in Nashville. Drive through it all the time going back and forth between Florida.

Have a great Thursday everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Thanks Robo. Taking drugs and thankfully, these virus bugs are only making a couple icky days. Great you got packages wrapped already. I have most bought, but tend to not wrap until closer to Christmas. A big Happy Birthday to grandson. Yeah, some of the kids are huge. One kid in little one's class is 6' 7". Wow, your grandson, only 15, and that tall already. Nice you have your Nashville trip planning just about done. Nice getaway for you and granddaughter. And two malls, will be a fun time. Love that the malls are decorated in holiday decor now. I was in Nashville, many moons ago, would probably not recognize anything. It's been such a boom town.

So ready for the week-end!

 

[Lynne G]

- . Good thoughts go out to Mac and Wendy. Hope you both are resting comfortably, and well on the road to feeling good.

 

[pattyw]

No matter, a huge cheesecake (homemade!) arrived.

Yum!! That and your meds should make you feel better!!

to your grandson!!

Have fun in Nashville with your granddaughter! Special time with family is priceless!

Good wishes out to Mac & Wendy!!!

 

[Monykalyn]

oh lunch time! This NH has great food! My dietary manager makes me an omelet every time, and today is scratch salsbury steak, mash potato, carrots, with chocolate cherry cake for dessert. No wonder my pants are tight!!
Boy had his 7th grade band concert last night-plays trombone. Surprised me how much he likes it, and enjoys concerts. He's got social anxiety, but he is weird in that you give him a role-he hams it up and loves it. He's resistant to getting involved in theater (fear of unknown I think more than anything) but I know he'd love it.

Warming up here, although gray day.

DH keeps bugging me about Las Vegas in January-want to go but with changing jobs not sure schedule will allow for as long as he wants (Thur-sunday).

Back to work

I’m the one in the middle, it’s really been one of those days.

28 degrees down your way? I think we broke 30 but windchill was rough. Stay warm.

My guys is doing much better, hope Jack has improved too. I have a big carpet scrubber but going to look into those spot type u just sit down over small messes.

Ah doggie upset tummies. Yep, and I had a motion sickness dog. Try cleaning out the gear shift inside your car. Hence, he never got fed at least for many hours before he was allowed in the car.

Yep, rawhide is rough on their guts. I have a power chewer, no sort of soft toys survive more than a few minutes. Even has destroyed the ones touted and ‘nearly indestructible’.

I keep thinking how do you clean a gear shift of that ilk, ewwwww

Hope all the sick ick leaves your house soon

So where's everyone staying? We check in to RPR on 12/11.

We’ll be back home by then. No RPR this trip, our very last Platinum suite upgrade on the last day of the youfirst program. Next day we switch over to SFalls as no room at PBH ugh.

Good morning Sans family
