Just before we stayed at VWL for Christmas in 06 someone on the DVC board mentioned that hall and the Shining. It had never entered my mind. Well our room was at the very end of that very long hall. Every time I walked down it alone that creepy thought would come back into my mind. Redrum, redrum. Oh and I could see Jack's face.

Figures THAT would get stuck in yer head...

The community board can be a very scary place.

oh yeah....NOBODY would get a TAG for THAT one

I *think* it has to do with authenticating a collectible.

There were a lot of people in this area that made dolls and crafts. Still are. Xavier Roberts started entering competitions when he was in college for his handmade dolls and crafts. He won some big deal in... 1976 or 1977... can't remember now... and came back home (here, to Cleveland GA) and rented the old (as in 1900s) medical clinic and turned it into Babyland General.

So, if you want to authenticate that you have anything from the official line of Cabbage Patch Kids, it has to come from Original Appalachian Artworks.

That is my guess, anyway.

Interesting. I wonder why they refuse to acknowledge the previous ones?

I don't know you guys...maybe he WAS the originator and she copied him?? I don't know, but remind me Saturday &/or Sunday to dig my dollie out and post her pix (if you don't remind me, I'll forget)

tomorrow is my start date for my diet and increase the exercise thing - got to start walking alot more anyway.....gas is too expensive and in the nice weather walking the kids to school will be pleasant

You picked tomorrow? Because it's March 1st...right? Because I know you didn't see the weather forecast and decide to do it Good luck! ...and cut the smokes out

74% is over 50%, so the odds are in your favor, goof. But the extra 1% is always given to the House.

You're missin' the point ....so, go with 73% chance then

It's party of the Mystery. You have to Find Me. Think of it as a treasure hunt.

How about a 'homie' hunt instead??

Okay so we are going to have to count on Jodie & Tracie to find you. I don't think anyone else will be there before you move. Wait, when is it you are moving again. Maybe Barb, Lawrence & I will be there before then.

We'll be there....he seems to do the 'thrills'...can't see him w/ Bev ....we'll look around

Post #3000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now I can go get some work done! Priorities ya know!

CONGRATS

wait! we ain't your priority?

Hi all-
I'm very tired right now.
Just got off the phone with my mom a few minutes ago. She said dad's surgery went well. He is in the recovery room now. The surgeon removed the spleen- spleen was very inflamed for quite awhile. They also resected part of his intestine- don't know if it is the small or large intestine they resected. THe part of hte intestine resected didn't have much blood supply and was necrosed (dead tissue). So now it is is resected. Don't know how long he will be in the hospital- probably at least 4 or 5 days.

Thank you all for your prayers! They were very much appreciated!
Please continue to pray and good thoughts for his recovery b/c I know there can be complications from surgery- infection, blood clots, etc. I've been there, done that with complications from surgery.
Thanks!
Hope you all understand I can't respond to anyone now, just too tired and life is crazy!

 

[damo]

Glad to hear all went as well as can be expected. We'll keep up the good thoughts and prayers. You can count on that.

 

[keishashadow]

rose - hoo-ray!

alison - lots of poop in the AK , usually have to look down though

tricia - good save on the question, i probably would've said he wasn't returnable

damo - gotcha, SC sounds mitey fine about now

youngest ds & his gramma put their heads together and cooked up a scheme (which i ruined in my usual manner) whereby he was going to pull out the torch to cut & reweld one of her canes to fit her better; wonder how long it would've taken the fire dept to get here?

dh stranded on highway, company in their infinite wisdom decided to roll the big rigs figure i'll see him in March tomorrow, yet it sounds far away

marci - for your gang of 2...many happy returns frolicing in the snow &

for many more!


think i'll go start Duma Key before the library comes & gets me for overdue fine, metro's probably done already...off to my cave i go

I second that Rose!

 

[bubba's mom]

Please keep praying that the surgeon removes everything that is obstructing his bowels and hopefully they won't find any cancer that metastisized (this is my fear).

Mummydust for your Dad Rose....I know it can't be easy, but he's young....he'll be just fine....(the power of positive thinking)....

Got some DL maps. 2009 baby!
I think 2 days minimum for each park. and we are doing USHollywood. told DH I aint missing that. Only like 23 miles.

You go girl!!! I wouldn't travel to the opposite coast of this country and NOT see USH Make sure Mr. Penny knows it is NOT an option to miss it (Janet will have to take notes for ya!)

And now what you have been waiting for...

my bro's head!!!

The result:

What do you think?

I think you did a GREAT job!! Did he like it?? What did his 'mates' say?

I'm doing very well. . .thanks for asking. I have lost just about 20 pounds now. . short of my goal of 15 per month though. I'll take it and if I lose 10 pounds a month that's just fine too. I am still using the alli and plan to continue to use it for another 4 months. . . . except for the week prior to and during our vacation of course.

Sorry...can't help ya with the fresh greens and camping...but, I very proud of you...almost 20lbs That is awesome!!! You are doing great...and ya know what? You've earned a 'mini vacation from eating'.....go ahead...cheat...you sound like you're sensible about it

Kfed - u should get a job moonlighting in barber shop!

C'mon Katie...we're always looking for a few good women!

tricia - when the Cabbage Patch monsters 1st came out they were so hard to find; oldest DS was the only one of his buds not to have one (i even had sent his stoopid paternal grandmother out to get one @ ToysRus when i got word of a shipment & the witch kept it for herself ). On the top of his Xmas list that year, so i bought a pattern & made one of them. Actually, much easier than i thought. Big pain was the hair, each strand out of yarn looped as in a boy's cut...worked on it every lunch hour @ work. Will have to try & find an old picture...anyway, i even forged a birth certificate...not that hard; know there have to be fakes out there.

(not funny then...funny now!) Would love to see an old picture....do post!!

How was Ma today? Things go okay....or have you choked her yet? How's YOUR back feeling?? Try the heating pad or hot bath? ...or just some good stuff

Good evening homies just stopping by to say hi been trying to get online but wasn't working out for me since some how I got a buch of spyware and viruses on my laptop that my anti virus didn't catch so was finally able to get on microsoft page and download a tool to remove it and finally got it up and going plus I am fighting a chest cold thats killing me and may wind up taking a trip to the emergency room if I get any worse.

are you finally straightened out now?

Sooooo. We were supposed to head down south today. Well, we got another snowstorm and DH got stomach flu. Hopefully all will be better tomorrow and we can try. Sure are a lot of sickies!

crap! your turn Here's to a speedy recovery and a FUN WARMER time at "home"

Just want to let you all know that my dad's surgery is scheduled for tonight, not this afternoon.

I'd rather wait to get a doctor who knows what they're doing more than someone who is just 'so-so' at the job....here's hoping he'll be fine.....(remember....the positive thinking thing).....

 

[bubba's mom]

I will have to try this and maybe DW will think I finnally come up with something good

roads are horrible here, it just keeps snowing we've given up trying to keep up with the shoveling today

i certainly hope you didn't send that crap Tracie, Mike, Jodie & MY way

we could be trapped all day in the house saturday.

i wouldn't mind that for just ONE day....a Saturday would be a good day

Joshua just informed me that he thinks maybe we shouldn't have had Daniel.



I told him that sometimes the people we love can bother us, but it is always worth it... because we are family and we stick together.

Unfortunately, you can't pick your family...... you CAN disown them and make 'friends' family....(if you're lucky enuf to have a friend you would WANT to have as family.....)

I suppose I will tell my bird poop story, since DH is here and can help me with it.

For the rest of the trip, the boys found themselves watching for birds, which was hilarious because it was like they thought that the birds had it in for them. Here's a pic of nephew going into the bathroom...too bad you can't see the bird poop, but we know it was on him.

reminds me....i remember your nephew having "grade" issues in skool and his trip with you guys was in 'jeopardy'...is he still coming?

OH, I did didn't I.....

 

[bubba's mom]

In my area, the hospitals, clinics and most doctors are out of the quick strep tests and there was such a demand all of a sudden, they are difficult to get from the supplier. So, everyone is doing cultures and that takes forever.

Sounds similar to the flu shot shortage....

I don't know yet if he's coming or not. I do know that he's planning on going...I talked with the counselor at his school and he told me that if Clay would do better this semester and pass his final, he wouldn't have to go to summer school. We'll see.....

dh stranded on highway, company in their infinite wisdom decided to roll the big rigs figure i'll see him in March tomorrow, yet it sounds far away
