HOMIES it is........

Hi Homies! How's everyone doing?

mac, hope your evening turns out for you, if not try some of those 'good' brownies. Every thing feels better after a few of those. Right?

 

[Fan2CSkr]

keisha, you can punch the hole in the key card. just don't do it near the bar scan at the bottom.

tikkipoo....don't you love the countdown before taking off....24 hours and counting.


well, i told you about my great plans to celebrate the anniversary and it is all down the drain now. $90 tickets for art garfunkle and dinner ressie down the tube. mr mac is sick.

so, nothing happening at home for me.
think i will go to the blue resturant for the turtle sundae made with chocolate custard not the vanilla that usually makes me happy.


so many homies here are getting ready to go to the darkside.
i'll be throwing tons of mummy dust your way for a swell time!!







pass the spaghetti to me. that sounds good right now.

Happy Anniversary to you! I'm sorry your plans were ruined. I'm also sorry your husband isnt feeling very well. That sucks when big plans get cancelled. I hope you did go and get that turtle sundae. That would help...a little. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mr Mac.

 

[Fan2CSkr]

For everyone leaving for the HOME land soon. HAVE A GREAT VACATION! Bring back pics!

 

[macraven]

Kate !!!

it is so good to "see " you.


have you fully recovered yet or still hanging in there? if i could make an appendic with modeling clay i would and send it to you..that way you can say you still have your appendic

there is a thread about renting cabanas. you know a lot about them.
think you could hop on that thread and give some advice.

you are the guru of cabanas........you remember everything you have been taught...



you have to come back again and tell sissy she is MIA.......

Happy Anniversary to you! I'm sorry your plans were ruined. I'm also sorry your husband isnt feeling very well. That sucks when big plans get cancelled. I hope you did go and get that turtle sundae. That would help...a little. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mr Mac.

ah thanks, that's sweet of you to mention.

 

[keishashadow]

keisha, it would be sooooo kewl if you lived in springfield and not springdale
or whatever city that is in your siggie

there was a contest for all the springfields in the country in the simpsons contest. wonder which state won? i was hoping for illinois cause they always suck at everything.




yea, i am bummed.
i went upstairs to tell mr mac i was hungry and was going to go thru a drive thru but he is asleep again.
don't want to leave when his temp is this high.

heck, you can't even go scalp the tix outside the venue - you are a good wife...make sure you remind mr. mac once he comes out of his feverish haze. Hope the opportunity comes up again for you.

I think my 'lil town has 3,000 souls; just an old mill town that transitioned into a 'burb of Pittsburgh. It would be mighty darn to live in Springfield, I am the classic under-achiever (I've tried my best and failed miserably, the lesson is....never to try ).

Hi KEW, how are you? (sorta rhymes if you squint).

Good weekend to all, think I'll hop into bed & read travel books 'till my eyes get crossed

 

[yankeepenny]

wishing a speedy recovery to mr. mac.

aside from numb3rs the only thing on is hockey playoffs. gee, we used to watch this all the time.
now hardly ever.

 

[macraven]

thanks penny and keisha.


think i am signing off and going to lie down with both of the cats.
i don't think they have cooties so i'm safe there.


catch you all saturday.

sweet sleep

 

[bubba's mom]

aw mac....your plans got "changed"....i hope the mr. feels better soon maybe when he's better, he'll make it up to you



tikki....have a wonderful trip.....kiss the blessed sidewalks of the motherland for us oh and take lots of pix, because i pix!!! (i'm envious of the good weather you'll be in too.......)


janet....instead of punching a hole, why not go to walmart and buy lanyards? they were only $2. last year when i got ours.....DH's and mine were on a retractable cord, while DS's was "sealed" in a "ziploc" type of badge holder and hung around his neck (it was very lightweight...he actually thought he was "bubba cool" "flashing" his card to the EP lane attendant I'll have to get DH to take a pic of what we use and post it....it really beat trying to get a hole punched in it.....and, when we weren't using them, i kept it IN my pocket (clipped to my waistband)

other than that....i must hit the hay....extra early day tomorrow at work (because i just can't say "no") and long after work.......prolly be in bed early tomorrow nite too, cuz Sunday is gonna be sunny and don't wanna waste ANY time...lots to do! Gardening, grocery store, laundry, and cleanin' out that garage .....)

 

[tikkipoo]

Well, time for me to sign off! Thank you to all who helped with my planning and all the well wishes for my trip. I will come back with a trip report and some pics. You all have fun while I'm gone!

 

[macraven]

keisha, i bought the same thing at walmart. those lanyards are good.
what i did was change the lanyard cord to my highschool one as mine is slimmer.

the pocket has the closure/zip lock style.

i also bought the 59 cents fishing license lanyard. itt's just the soft plastic pouch shaped the style of a credit card but larger by one inch around.
i can put more in it then.

both styles are great.

mr sun is gonna shine on all of you now......





will be missing the homies that are leaving, but know they will have a swell time

 

[keishashadow]

Well, time for me to sign off! Thank you to all who helped with my planning and all the well wishes for my trip. I will come back with a trip report and some pics. You all have fun while I'm gone!

bye-bye maybe you'll see some Simpsons charactars meeting & greeting.

b's mom - DS already wears the pin trading lanyard (plans on selling his stash to pay for a car someday)...I was hoping to just affix the thing to that. We had the clear plastic holder rip off on a trip before ; no biggie (since it was empty anyway -- cause I was holding all the passes & FP ). I just get so sick of hearing..."will you hold my stuff; my shorts don't have pockets...". So i'm holding 3 pairs of sunglasses/glasses and all their other stuff. While they jerk me around about my goofy fanny pack/bag dejour.

Yep, I do look like all the other dorky tourists running around. Ridiculous mouse ears, hats, t-shirts, crocs. Hope the locals don't think we always dress so badly.except i am fond of my crocs & wear them every chance i get.

 

[tlinus]

Morning homies! Having a hard time going back to sleep here - so i thought i would check in and say hey

Did not run into damo

weather has been wonderful and the parks have been slightly crowded. lots of groups. but they don't seem to have the express passes because up until yesterday, all the rides (with express) have been walk on

did IOA on Thursday, US on Friday, did a half park walk around at IOA again yesterday, will be going to the studios again today to hit the favorites and spend some time at the pool. Tomorrow is all day at IOA again.

have loads of pictures to share and have been keeping notes for a trip report.

miss you guys! we will have internet for the next 2 days, poor DH has to check in with/do some work over the next couple of days. got some interesting news from the doctor - they called with the results of my blood tests .....i have an underactive thyroid and will have to be on medicine (well that helps to explain the weight gain and fatigue all the time) my sugar and triglycerides(sp?) are slightly elevated so she wants me to do a lower carb diet and they will recheck with a fasting blood sugar test. it was like gee, thanks for hitting me with that while on vacation!!!???!!!

anyways, just wanted to check in - may be able to check in later today or tonight!!! talk to you all later!!!

 

[AlexandNessa]

tlinus, my mom is going through the **exact** same thing! I totally feel for you. Underactive thyroid, whacky blood sugar, changing her diet, testing blood sugar .. the whole bit. It's certainly a smack in the face, especially on vacation.

Glad to hear you're having fun. Thanks for checking in with us!

 

[bubba's mom]

Glad to hear you're feeling better and having a wonderful vacation!!! (You'll be happy to know, we didn't get the rain they were anticipating, so i'm sure your basement is just fine!)

My DH has the underactive thyroid too.....he's been on meds for years.... And, my BFF has it too....she said it's amazing that you don't realize you don't feel "bad/sluggish" until after you've started treatment....

Can't wait for those pix and can't wait for TR.....glad the weather is great (low 70's/high 60's partly sunny this week) and you got that EP for those busy lines! You go girl!

Have a ball and thanks for 'remembering' us folks at home by takin' all those pix!

 

[macraven]

so good to hear from you from "home"

sounds like you are busy having fun.

i have been taking synthryoid since 1986 for hypothyroidism. it's the sluggish type like you mentioned. same symptoms like you but depression hit me hard when it first started. just a side effect from the illness when it goes untreated.

you'll probably have blood testing done periodically until you level out. then an annual blood test after that. i have hashimoto disease with my hypo condition. it is all treatable. don't worry about your condition now....you are on vacation.


everyone here is looking forward to your return, trip and pics.....


have fun for all of us.

 

[macraven]

not much happening for me this beautiful weekend.
mr sun came out but i am inside doing mr mac watch.........

he got ill thursday night and thought if he could sleep, he would be okay for the evening plans. so wrong. he improved a tad saturday afternoon for a couple of hours and then it was back down the tubes.

he's still sick. if he is still like this and unable to keep anything in him, it will be the er tonight.

reminds me of the days when my boys were infants and high fevers and sick.
you just don't know which way to turn for help.

i finally cleaned out all my emails and pms. so one job done for me that i have been trying to avoid. not much else to do but sit around the house waiting in case i am needed.


who is next to go to universal?
wonder if our homie will run into damo soon.......

 

[yankeepenny]

Hope the homies are having fun in the sun. sorry to hear mr mac still not up to par.


we spent 2 hours in the er today. i was cleaning the keybaord tray of our oak desk and it fell on top of my foot- yes-on top.
have a temp cast on, initiial reports show no break, yet it is horribly painfull. the pressure on top of my foot and my big toe is horrible. will see ortho tomorrow. it just so happened i had an appt for the other foot.
(irony...sickening....)
but i am smiling as the drugs are working! zip i de do dah!

 

[macraven]

i just love those pills too penny.


you forget you have pain and then go kick the cat and voila.....no pain.


i don't kick the cat, it's just an expression....


next time drop the item on the bad foot.



what did the hospital say is wrong, did they tell you in english?
you know how they use those big words, that't what i meant her.

i had an incident with my left foot and you don't want to hear the story.




i checked the thread to see who is leaving us soon. i hope they start their countdown here for us to root them on......and remind them of things to pack.

 

[yankeepenny]

well, the top of my big toe has red stripes, from blood inside. something was badly pinched. the feeling in the toe comes and goes.
if they take the cast off, wil have to wear crocs. yet my foot is so swollen the crocs wont fit well. that is why they also gave ibuprofen for swelling and need to keep foot elevated.
okay , time for you to spill your war foot story....
