Something About Nothing ... #12

[goNDmay9]

@keishashadow we are definitely resort people. we are not the family that is gone all day and only sleeps in the room. I am also trying to find a good place to watch the fireworks and either stay at that resort or try and get an ADR. I think the crowds may be too much to try and see it from inside the parks.

I am seriously thinking of PBH (or Hard Rock because hubby and the girls have never been). Since we are within 30 days - we lose the ADR and Fast Plus perks of staying onsite anyway. PS - that Vegas trip sounds amazing!!

@Chuckers safe travels to your sisters! i love the non planning aspect of the darkside! i am so spoiled now.

@Robo56 my parents had the same thoughts on sapphire falls. just like that bubble in the comic section of IOA says - i am gonna need a vacation from this vacation! okay - you and @schumigirl have just added the palms to our next trip.

@marciemi if you don't already have one, buy one of those battery chargers if you can. they are a lifesaver in airports. you can get them pretty cheap on amazon. its basically a power block that charges without connecting to an outlet.

@tink1957 i swear i never catch up on housework and yardwork!

@macraven do you have pt today?

 

[goNDmay9]

Hi goND...glad to see you here again.

hi tink! glad to be back for sure. now i need to look back to see what happened to your hand. glad you are feeling better.

Lol. I travel with a minimum of 4 of them. Have 2 of the Fuel Rods from Disney, a super-powerful one (that will last a couple days), and a powered phone case. I keep my phone linked to an external charger at all times (unless it's plugged into the wall). Seriously, my phone battery lasts at most 2 hours without one. (Iphone 6). We may be buying new ones but waiting for the next version to come out and see what it offers. I also hate that they've done away with trading in or a free/reasonable priced upgrade every couple years and dread paying well over $1000 for both of us to get a new one.

FOUR?! ha ha ha ha ha haha. that is awesome. hubby has the 6 plus and i have the 6s. Hubby typically sells his and then uses the money to "trade up". My last phone had one leg in the grave and the other on a banana peel - so i had to trade mine in under that att next plan. We will see what comes out in the fall...

Wow! Y'all have been a BUNCH of biziee bunnies!

Quick fly-by to send prayers to KY07's wifey. Take good care of her!

Looks like my son and I are gonna take the "quick" trip into the belly of the inferno...errr Orlando in the summer. Got AP rate of $90 for 4 nts at AS Sports, we've stayed there once and it did the job. Of course, I'll be watching for a "deal" to op up at POR or FQ, (boats would be nice, since he wants to go to Disney Quest on June 3, July 1 & 2...Wants to close them down!) Might hafta sneak over to Minionville for a day or two also...Hate to not use those APs!

Everybody get well that's ill...and get Happy that's sad. Good grammer, Me knows.

Good luck with a WDW deal in the middle of summer! POFQ is my favorite resort.

Back home schumi and Robo
You both were missed

AND we always miss all the homies when they don't check in to Mom

 

[macraven]

Schumi
Was thrilled ironing was not on your list today of household chores to be done today

It has been eons since I have held one in my hands
Almost forget what they look like

 

[Lynne G]

Wow, that's a good rate Buckeev. Ya, even though we didn't go to the dark side parks, we had to eat at CityWalk, as free parking with AP. Yep, that's good math. Love FQ, going to celebrate Christmas with the mouse there this year.

Oops, sorry Tink. Yep, meant Marcie. All you with older kids on their own. The way older one is now in mode, it might be a tad longer than we thought. Eek, my older one will start his second decade on this earth.

Safe travels Marcie. We upgraded a few months ago. Around 30 dollars each to buy our old phones. Now my phone bill is back to paying off the new phones. Glad to hear you have so many portable charging devices. I have a charging phone cover and a handful of rods too. I have to keep buying them, as kids seem to take them, and they mysteriously disappear.

HaHa, iron? The cleaners press shirts.

Well, so much for that sun. Sweater on, cool enough inside I am not a happy lizard.

It's a what for dinner day. Not sure, have to see what's left in the frig. I have a feeling kids will want Chinese. It' s going to be a long night. Two more late night practices and we get a 6 week reprieve. Hmm, tree leaves are turning over, I hope that means no rain. We have chance of rain every day this week. Sigh. So ready for the heat wave the weather dude said is coming. Yeah, I'm a lizard. Much rather be hot, than too blessedly cold.

Had many posts here and mentioned all of youse then got error message and they were eaten up

I hate when that happens and I know some of youse has gone through that too

Today is not my day for thinking and rewriting

Update on me
Some knew I am basically bed ridden
Only up and out of the house for 3 weekly visits for PT
And once a week for blood draws due to taking Coumadin

And frequent ultrasound testing

Had last ultrasound yesterday
One blood clot not visible and that vein is now 100% open and clear
Yaaa

But other blood clot still large and not dissolved
But has not moved

See the surgeon again tomorrow
Need to get things lined up so I can book a flight for Orlando

That is my only real concern

Lol

More fretting on can I fly than when will the clot dissolve

At this point, reruns of law and order and Miami csi are getting boring

Guess you should celebrate the 'good' vein. A clot never good, not moving is a a good thing I'd guess.

Get your ducks in a row after you talk to surgeon. Too bad you can't just call Mr roto rooter to get rid of that bad boy!JK know it has to be frustrating for you this is dragging on.

 

[macraven]

Thought I would openly share my medical condition as I still read over first page threads in all 4 forums daily to moderate

But not always able to post and chat here as much as I have over the years

That bothers me but I have times of ugly pain and under the influence of pain relief would be noticed if I did chat and post during those periods each day
Lol

Don't want to have all of you report me if I become Dr J and Mr Hyde

Lol

Aw...why not mac...it would be entertaining

Hope that clot gets busted and you are pain free soon

Frustrating to type here today

Thanks mac.......I did try to email when I could, but up in the wilds it's a hit and miss......and on my phone too.....you know what that's like.....lol......

We all have you in our prayers mac, you know that.......being in pain is hard to deal with, and you certainly have had your share this time around.




Lynne, I don't mind ironing .....tried a cleaners once for ironing service.......none were up to my standards, so prefer to do it myself. Takes no time at all........I am very much my mother's daughter that way.......

Been in and out all day......will eventually catch up with everything........sent Janet half an email earlier......thought I'd be back within an hour........didn't work out.......finally just eaten and now popping out to do our duty and vote in our General Election........lord help us if it's the wrong result tomorrow!

 

[Lynne G]

I actually don't mind ironing, Schumi, but our local cleaners are reasonable priced, and do a good job. Also, starch for me, so DH always gets a clean, white shirt. Rest of the stuff, I do iron. Friend irons her kids undies. Um, I'm not that nice a mom I guess.

Mac, sending well wishes more mummy dust. HHN is so ready for ya. I hope that nasty clot gets flushed out right away. Good that the doctors are working with ya, and thankful to hear at least one has cleared out. Less than 4 months now, so looking forward to seeing DIS friends. You are always welcome to send an email or give call. I like to see day time TV as I usually don't get to see it, but when I was home with the kids for months, ya, TV got old. Hope you can get around more soon, and hope the pain goes away even shorter.

 

[schumigirl]

Nope, don't need cleaners to get my husband and sons office shirts brilliant white........mine are gleaming.......my mother irons underwear and socks........it makes her happy so I don't comment.


Voting done........now going to sit and book tickets for Wicked which I have assured DH he will love.......I've already seen it twice on Broadway and once in London but love it! Will only see one show this year as we are only there 5 nights and one day will be out visiting family on Long Island. Can't wait.

Also will get Manhattan hotel booked, we are down to choosing between 3.......and tomorrow maybe.......internal flights.......I think JFK is just as easy an option as La Guardia for flights to Orlando........I think???

And it's still raining here..........

 

[Lynne G]

The NYC trip was such a great present for ya Schumi. DH is a keeper. For both airports, I would think the prices would be about the same. I think all the airlines have fares out for the fall now, so booking the flight from there to Orlando may be something to book soon too. Lovely time of year there also.

 

[marciemi]

So sorry to hear all this, Mac. Knew there was a lot going on but not any details. Please let us know what they tell you tomorrow (especially if it involves booking flights here!). And lots of pixie dust and mummy dust and whatever else we can send your way! And we're always here for you - whether Dr. J or Mr. H.

Thanks Lynne......not bothered about cost as internal flights I've looked at so far are very reasonable.....well, compared to what we pay for flights to be honest........more for convenience of travel to airport........yep, looking forward to being there September, only ever been during April and May/June.



Fed up with rain........
