Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[lazydoxy66]

Well. I'm home with DD11 again today. She wasn't feeling well enough for me to feel comfortable heading over to the office. She slept pretty much all morning. I think that helped as she had a plain bagel for lunch with no apparent ill effects. She's been feeling worse after eating anything the last day or so.

I've been pretty unsuccessfully working from home. Too little motivation for the real work, and too many distraction opportunities at the home. I was able to get my work out in this morning, which is a bonus on the healthy living side, but I expect that I'll be feeling the resultant aches and pains over the weekend.

We got our DVC recorded deeds in the mail this week. So, it feels a bit more real. We really cannot wait for the trip in July. We've begun to do some tentative planning. It's hard without having the park hours information released yet. We've already decided we're going to probably do a day trip over to Tampa in the middle for visits with folks on that coast.

I'm going over to peek in on DD11 and see how she's doing. I'll try to pop back over here later this afternoon. I'll be out tonight as DD9's class will be leading services at synagogue, and Jenny will take over with DD11. I'm thinking DS6 will probably hang at home as the service will go past his bedtime.

TTFN!

for your DD11. Are you still working on the project that got the budget cut for it? Just wondered how it came out.

I don't think anyone is happy with the way they are doing the schedules for WDW. Congrats on your deeds Disney owner! When you get your itinerary set up, post it for approval!

Hey Enchanted Fockers! I know some of you have popped over to my PTR. For those who didn't, I'm starting my 80's Trivia game tonight. I'll post the 1st question tonight between 8:30 and 9PM.

Doug's pie is in with some cauliflower casserole for tonight. He's having lasagna that he froze from last week. I'm having a bunless hamburger.

There's the buzzer. Back in a few.

Hi Everyone!!!

Just popping in real quick before heading out to work which I have no desire to be going.

Anyhoo


Kat: Hope you can get normal sleep soon

T: Lots of : for Waldo and for you.

Dawn: Have a good trip and in case I don't log on before Sunday. Have a Magical Disney trip , can't wait to meet you!!!

Jen: Have a Magical Trip!!!

Kristel: The TS all looks good. I say Beaches 'n Cream on your last day since you'll be on the Boardwalk.

Mel: I hope Gus starts feeling better.

S'late: to your sick kiddo too.

Carrie: keep us posted on your new FB friend

Sam: Hi! Welcome I'm Zorylee, better known as Z. I work in an ER in Miami as a registration clerk and am a mommy to 3 Furbabies.
That is so cool about the college program! How far are you from Disneyland? It's not WDW, but it still holds the Magic.

Ok that's all I remember off the top of my head.
Hi to everyone that I missed!

TTYL

 

[T-i-double-g-err]

for your DD11. Are you still working on the project that got the budget cut for it? Just wondered how it came out.

Thanks Kristel! She seems to be feeling a bit better at this point.

Yes. There are some pieces that need work done that were already in progress. The scaling up portion has been effectively put on hold. So, I'm working on those pieces and trying to find other work with existing clients and/or new clients.

I don't think anyone is happy with the way they are doing the schedules for WDW. Congrats on your deeds Disney owner! When you get your itinerary set up, post it for approval!

For early, perpetual planners (such as myself), it's not fun. We've been doing preliminary stuff using same-days of week from last July. We'll post once we've got something more concrete.

Hi Everyone!!!

Hi Z!
--------------
Time to get ready for the evening's activities and figure out who is doing what in terms of getting dinner ready.

TTFN!

 

[DisneyJo]

I did this once before but my laptop crashed so here goes again but briefer this time!!!

I cleaned the apartment, got caught up on here and Enchanted, now I am off to take our dog Ace for a walk, then to make some more tickers etc.

Those tickers are great Tracy!!!

There was some sleep last night! I was up until about 7am from 2am but I slept till 11:30am and to me, it's a victory!

And,,,my wait in over!! I have a new facebook friend!! more on that later. we havent 'talked' yet.
BBL.

Heck no, I'm not driving.

ugg! I have a sick child; vomit and temp of 102. Dr said neg for flu, probably just has the croup. What the heck does that mean? He doesn't even have a cough; how can it be the croup without a cough?

So a little about myself: Im sam (samantha if you didnt figure it out) and Im a college student at university california Davis. My Major is wildlife conservation and Im Pre-Vet. Im engaged and my fiance is a full time firefighter. He works 24 hours on, then 96 off. No he doesnt paint houses Because of his work schedule and having to commute I end up with a lot of lonely time around the house. Mostly locked in my room for sanity reasons because my two other roommates are annoying dirty guys.

Hi Sam, I used to live with 4 men and as I was the only lady they expected me to do all the cleaning I moved out after a month

Sun. 27th - Arrival around noonish. No TS. Going to DTD and EOS.

Mon. 28th - Epcot F& W and eating and drinking around the world. No TS

27th I'll probably be at Epcot, 28th I go home at about 1.30pm so maybe at DTD

Jo - Only 2x this week...you are slacking. Did you get that info about LTT for me yet

Haven't heard a thing but have heard that dining are saying ummm no characters at the moment so I'd book and you can always cancel

Well. I'm home with DD11 again today. She wasn't feeling well enough for me to feel comfortable heading over to the office. She slept pretty much all morning.

Oh no


We're going to go to the cinema tomorrow to see Marley and me!

 

[ncsjodi]

??? I'm assuming it's at a hospital or something?

MOPS stands for Mothers of PreSchoolers and it's a ministry for young moms at a lot of churches. I used to be very involved and even in charge for a few years, but my girls are bigger now, so I'm done. However, I sometimes help out by taking care of the kiddos. This morning, I taught a bunch of two-year olds. It was fun!

That doesn't make sense to me either. DD5 has had croup many times. Did they test him/her for strep? That's what's been going around here lately and it usually includes a temp. Otherwise, I'd say it's just a virus. If there's no barky cough, then it's not croup.

I just finished my College Program at WDW in january. I worked at Animal kindgom, feel free to ask me and questions. Now Im going through disney withdrawls!

Hi Sam! I'm Jodi, SAHM to two girls. I live in Indianapolis. Pre-vet, huh?? Well, we don't have one of those around here. But I've been needing one for awhile -- in fact, mine just called while I was typing this! Our furbaby has been diagnosed with liver disease, so we're trying to figure out how to treat him. I picked up two different medications for him today, so we'll see how it goes.

Well, DH is still sick. He thinks it's viral though, because when he gets a sinus infection, he normally doesn't get a fever. So, he's just been laying around all day today. I'm hoping he feels better tomorrow though.

The plan for tonight is to watch basketball, clean and possibly scrapbook a bit. No plans for tomorrow at all. Eric was supposed to work a 24 hour shift on the ambulance, but cancelled due to his illness. What should I do??

 

[CelticBelle]

My BFF, Dr. Belle, did the College Program either in 1992 or 1993. She loved it, even though she more or less just sold the big turkey legs in MGM.

I didnt sell turkey legs, but I did sell all other outdoor foods at DAK including the infamous mickey bar.

Hi! Welcome I'm Zorylee, better known as Z. I work in an ER in Miami as a registration clerk and am a mommy to 3 Furbabies.
That is so cool about the college program! How far are you from Disneyland? It's not WDW, but it still holds the Magic.

I also have two furbabies Im near sacramento, so about an 8 hour drive. Fortunately for me I have family less than an hour from DL. My DFi and I have been able to make a trip to DL every year since weve been dating. About 5 trips. Thats where we got engaged, and my goal is turn him into a disney fan also. I believe his trip to WDW last november with me was a big step!

Crocs.com has all collegiate Athens for $9.99, reg $34.99. Better teams, such as UNC, are close to being sold out (hehehe). But hurry..........and you're welcome!

hey official lego builder! My prayers are with you and your furbaby. When I left for school my cat got sick and turned out he had leukemia and was bleeding internally. It was very tragic and sudden, so hopefully this was caught early and can be treated well. I knew A dog with liver problems and she lived a very long time.

 

[jcc0621]

Sam - Just as an FYI, Slate is our offical Croc pusher

 

[mrsksomeday]

Yeah, I wish they'd let us know when they shipped it. The Illini... I should have known better, especially with Frazier hurt, but I had high hopes. Not only am I an alum, but I grew up in Champaign County and my folks are still there, so it's something that I really hang on to. (You are from southern IL, no?) The candle party, well...

Yes, we are from Carbondale, IL.

Thanks Jo, I did some for Universal Studios, Disneyland, and The Flower and Garden Festival today. Help, I can't seem to stop . I hope you have a great time at the movies.

I hope he feels better soon.

Just a quick Fly By...

I noticed we have a New Recruit.
Hi Sam... I'm Katt( thats with 2t's dear) TFW Karaoke Queen and Sheriff.. I do shoot

I'm a SAHM and my DH works for himself. Telecommunications Consultant.. and a Model TRAIN NUT.



Well we are nearly ready to leave but I wish I could cancel. I AM SICK I have a Middle ear Infection... and My Blood Pressure Is up. A LOT.... . I have NEVER had elevated Blood pressure out side of Pregnancy. I probably should NOT go on this trip... but the kids are looking forward to it. So I'll take it REALLY REALLY EASY.

 

[lazydoxy66]

Buenos Noches, Amigos!

Hi Z! Thanks for lookin' at my TS's. I did want to slip B&C in somewhere. That would be awesome if I can get us flights that don't leave until 3 or 4PM.

Hey Jo! Have fun at the movie. Don't cry! Did I tell you where I first heard the term 'hoovering' at? The Graham Norton show. Doug and I watch his show on the BBCA every so often. He a riot!

Tig it is darn hard to be concrete until they let us know the schedules. I'm going off of last year's schedule too. I want to do MNSSHP. I hope it will be twice a week like it was last year. When Doug and I were there in early Sept. the Fri party was packed. We didn't go, but we were using the monorail to get around. MK was nuts.

Jodi I hope the meds work for your furbaby! Take a nice long hot bubble bath with a cup of tea or your favorite alcohol! I've just about talked myself into that one!

Cel Belle kudos on the conversion of another humanoid to Disneydom. Any thoughts of gettin' hitched at Disney?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I need to get caught up on some TRs.

Doug got home and told me that he heard they will be laying off at his plant in a couple of weeks. About 125 people. They would have to lay off 800 to get close to him. Of course I talked to me brother who is the night plant manager and he said 'not happening'. I'm sure if he knows he won't tell me. I thought I'd try though.

Doug also told me that he swung by his mom's house and she had made coconut cream pie. This is my all-time fav with the exception of peanut butter pie. He did not bring me a piece. I'm pissed! He said he didn't want to ruin my weight loss plan. I said 'Just how often do I get pie around here? 1 piece wouldn't ruin anything. You just didn't think about me!' Dang it, now I'm mad all over again! Hmph!

I'll be around. Everybody have a great weekend!

Hola!


Hi to the new recruit, Sam! I'm Lessa, 25, single and work as an emergency dispatcher although I will be going back to school in the Fall to get my second degree, this time in Nursing. I'm the Canadian Focker representative and you will soon find out that I am also the resident shopaholic.


Hi to the rest of you, not much going on with me, just working and saving money to pay off the money I owe on my taxes and of course I have my trip coming up in less than two months so I am saving up spending money for that as well.

that is awful. Those things really do hurt, but for the amount of people that rent them there are very few accidents.

[KatGarcia]

I've got windows live/msn. I have a Yahoo account, I've just never set up the live chat part. I'll check into it when I get a chance and let you know. I'm glad you got some sleep and are feeling a little better. I didn't see anything about those closets.

I have AIM, Yahoo and I THINK an msn name that i never use. lemme know what u come up with!

Sun. 27th - Arrival around noonish. No TS. Going to DTD and EOS.

Mon. 28th - Epcot F& W and eating and drinking around the world. No TS

Tue. 29th - DHS and 50's PTC for lunch.

Wed. 30th - MK and Tutto Italia for dinner @ WS.

Thurs. 1st - AKL and Tusker House for breakfast. Le Cellier for dinner.

Fri. 2nd - Rockie's b-day, her choice. Kona for supper.

Sat. 3rd - Departure day. May revisit DTD or Boardwalk if there is time. OOP for any meals.

What do you think?
I'll be back in a little while.

My only advice to you is that the 30th when you do a MK morning and Epcot afternoon that you reserve time for the F&W stuff. I found that 2 goes around works out better than just one day, there's always something you wanted to try and were too full or missed out on somewhere. Maybe do CS that day if you want something more substantial. Just my opinion that one day of F&W isn't enough.

I see Kat is back to the vampire hours. Hope you get back on track soon Oh, and I'm in for an AC meet

AC as in Animal Crossing....although I amd ef into making a date and time for an Atlantic City meet too!

Wow.

%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%

Well we sort of got some stuff done today. We managed to get rid of a bunch of stuff and repost on craigslist all our electronics that we wanna get rid of. We did a bit of the closets and then we got cranky at each other and gave up. I am not thrilled. I will probably yank the rest of the stuff out tomorrow and make KC do his closet too. Not to mention the kitchen needs to be done too. Meh.

My throat is still a bit scratchy, I napped for a while before. Now I am just relaxing until i feel the tired hit then I am runniong to the bed for rest!

Have a great friday!

will slate punish me for never ever wearing crocs before?
