Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[mrsksomeday]

I shared on FB but I will share here too. According to his teacher, Jimmy did a great job with his presentation. Wasn't shy about talking in front of the class or anything

Wonderful news!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Sending lots of love to Mel and hope everything goes well, thinking of Mo too

It is chucking down with rain here like crazy(HI JO) not helping with all the things I need to do.

Hello team fokker watch. I have been lurking trying to figure out what fokker watch is. Could someone please define a fokker watcher to me? I thought it was when you recognize another disser in the parks?

The reason I ask is that my DH asked me if there was a special look, handshake, or sign or something that you show in the parks to recognize other dissers. I gave him an answer and now I am trying to figure out if I told him the truth or not LOL!

Hi, yes it all started with a sign to show we were DIS board members but we liked each other so much we hang out here and chat everyday, everyone is welcome so tell us a little about yourself and chat too

You are not the only one, heck I was crying during the retrospective when they showed Dr. Greene dying.

Pshew!

I didn't and am now regreting it. I wonder if they'll have in OnDemand or online?

I bet it will turn up online. We've been enjoying hulu for that.

I don't know weather to say congrats or boo-hiss.

Yeah, me neither.

Well we had a lovely day out. It was sunny and cool and comfortable all day.

Those pictures are great!

Not much from me, just checking in.

Hi, Z!

Last night he talked to someone about transferring to a unit in West Palm Beach, only 3 hours away.

That would be nice. Our friend John, here, switched from an IL unit to a MA one when they moved out here. I hope it works for him!

Talk to y'all later and hope you guys have a good Friday!

You, too!

I caught myself doing Fuzzy Disney Math in real life this morning. In the shower, I found myself thinking, "Leo comes home Mon. We don't count today because it's already here, and we don't count Mon. because that's the event day, so only 2 days until I get my baby back!"

For those of you not on FB, Mel's gone to the emergency room a few hours ago. She posted that she thinks it's her appendix.

I texted her asking if she was okay and telling her our family is worried about her, and she replied back that she's not okay and will talk to me soon.
She's calling now...

Okay... Mel said I can share what's going on. She said she woke up in the middle of the night in extreme pain. She toughed it out until morning, then went to the ER. She blood levels were high and the pain is right over her appendix.

She was driving herself (!) to a cat scan when she called. If the cat scan confirms what they think is going on, she'll go directly back to the hospital and be admitted to have surgery. She'll be in the hospital for three days.

She sounded like she felt so bad she could cry. Bob's getting his work stuff in order so he can come and help her to the hospital if she has to go back. She's obviously scared and upset and is asking for prayers.

She's going to keep in touch with my today, but I'm going to be out most all of the day and evening. If I get any info, I'll text Janet so she can get the info to you guys.

Oh, man! I wish I'd come on earlier. Tell her I'm thinking of her, OK?

Glad he came back but aggghhhh

We got a postcard from Ellie today, she comes home in 2 hours and she says she's having a fantastic time, she's seen seals and starfish and loves us all She went boating on the Norfolk Broads this morning at Wroxham!

Sounds lovely!

Still crazy busy. Hope to check back later.

Hi! Hope your day turned out well!

Good Morning Friends!

Good afternoon, Jodi!

Good morning everyone!!

Hi, Tracy!

Don't forget Mo today too everyone. She should be in surgery this morning for her foot.

Yikes, thanks for the reminder. Love you, Mo!

Leaving work early today. Jim and I are having a date tonight

It is chucking down with rain here like crazy(HI JO) not helping with all the things I need to do.

just wanted to say a quick hello and Ill see you all when we return after Easter. Hopefully then I will have time to chat again.
