Something about Nothing, come join in........

Alison - NEVER trust a man in a boat! (or any kind of power machinery!).

We tried the foam mattresses, but I found them to be too warm and ended up covered in sweat each night (and no, I'm not THAT old yet, thank you!). I'm also a very cold person at night - we're the typical "DH in a t-shirt and me in sweats and a long sleeve shirt" at night folks! Just felt "icky". But my DS 12 has one and loves it.

Mac - I'm so sorry - I didn't realize all this was going on with your sons! Guess it was in the pages I couldn't catch up on while we were gone! How old is the son who had the tonsillectormy? Went through that with one DS at 8 and I remember how miserable it was. I'm guessing yours has to be a lot older and proportionately more miserable! He refused to speak at all for 5 days, until we went back to the doc who pretty much ordered him to try. Keep us updated!

Wow, I'm caught up again. All y'all have some bad luck.

My best to all those ill/family of ill/looking for work/floating away/etc.

To answer questions asked a very long time ago:
1. I am meeting my very large family (I think 10 are coming) from Edmonton in Orlando on August 11. They leave for home on the 18th, my wife and I leave on the 21st. We'll be at Universal from the 16th-21st. Prior to that we'll do some Disney and some vacationing - my Mustard (mother) really likes mini-golf but not so much Theme parks (although she will join us on our Universal days but no WDW days! )
2. I arrived "home" (Atlanta) a week ago from 6 months in the Palestinian territories (with time in Egypt, South Africa and Romania) and am looking for work (hard to find a job when you need 10 days off a month from now) and getting our stuff back in order. (insurance/phones/etc)

My wife found work (at her old job) so we'll survive and a month on the couch doing nothing sounds good to me.

Welcome back home! Hope you're enjoying all the things here that you couldn't get over there! I know when DH and I were in Saudi during the first Gulf War, we really missed stuff that you'd never think of like cold cuts, cheese, pizza (made without mangoes or prawns on it!), and ice in soda! What'd you miss the most? (Besides DW, obviously! ) Hope you have a great time at Universal - we'll be there about a week or so before you. Are you staying onsite?

Oh Mac. When it rains it pours.

OMG! not only does it happen --- it's raining buckets right on your head!

So sorry to hear, kuddos on holding it together - hope your DSs feel better soon.

[AlexandNessa]

Hey there! Anyone up on a Friday night?

 

[macraven]

 

[macraven]

[AlexandNessa]

Excellent! Glad you're up! Sent you a PM.

 

[loribell]

Hey where did you both go?

 

[marciemi]

Well, I'm here! You're next on my email list - I'm in the middle of one to Kristy right now, that's going to be interrupted for cake momentarily (with Stephen's party!). I'll talk to you, even if everyone else is going away!

 

[macraven]

here i is..........

 

[macraven]

cake????


i didn't get any cake

 

[AlexandNessa]

I'm still here!

I am very excited that I just got the go ahead from Mike to spend a day at Busch Gardens when we go in October. I am totally psyched as I'd like to go and never thought he would agree to it as the bus from the resorts to BGT usually leaves at an ungodly hour, but he did. Now I have to figure out our best tkt options and how to make ressies for the bus trip and what the departure/pick-up times are, etc. Bonus.

How are you, Lori? What's news?!

 

[macraven]

now i'm here and you are gone.


think i am going to watch forensic files for a couple of hours.
court tv is being renamed to true tv or something like that
