Oh for Pete's sake!!!

And you are in Atlanta with your cellphone off! I couldn't have spoken to you if I tried.....

We are twins....

Say hi to Debi....

Yeah, did you rearrange my desk?

congrats June

Anne Marie,

I agree with everything on this list with one suggestion. I would go to the Empire State Building in the evening. And I would buy my tickets online. Here's why. The tours and tour buses are going during the day. That's why the line is so gawdawful long. And as you say, the line is deceiving. If there is a line outside, the line inside is 3 times as long.. (think Great Movie Ride, if the line is all the way outside, forget it!!!)

Plus, there are two lines. One line for tickets and then anothe huge line to get the elevator. If you already have tickets, you bypass one 45 minute minimun line. IMHO....

If you go after 6:00, and already have your ticket, you won't have to wait. At least, this has been my experience. Plus the view is downright stunning.

That is good to know Steffy, Thanks! Next time I will do just that!
We have been to several services at St. Pat's (the last being 12/30) & we didn't have a ticket . Maybe that is for when the cardinal is there???Hmmm come to think we were there right after the Tsunami for a mass & Cardinal Egan was speaking..we were quite stunned that he never mentioned the Tsunami victims throughout his homily.

So are you coming to NYC for a Dis meet in August 2007!!!???

Paula Happy Birthday​

Anne Marie and Steffy


Thanks so much for the scoop on AGP. I called them today and the lady told me that the package is the same price as buying all the separate pieces of the package. She said that way I would only have to pay up front for lunch and the show. Works for me. We will do the hair salon and the photo shoot as well. I talked to my sister and her and my neice and mom are going to join us. My sister's boyfriend owns a limo company and she is going to try to get him to give us a limo for the day. That way we can be on our own schedule. All we would have to do is tip the driver. We are planning November 4th. I am very excited and Emma is over the top.

That's great..Emma will love it!

Good Evening everyone,
Thought I'd try and catch up on this thread since I'm having trouble falling asleep.

Paula, you and your family will be in my prayers.

Steffy, glad Miss Blueberry was there to save the day.

The DDA is definitely a traveling group

Great news about your friend Jen

Congratulations on 1000 June

Dawn I'm glad your brother is doing well

Love the Stencil shirts Glynis

I'm glad the Olive Garden group had a good time, but it does make me jealous, I love Olive Garden but ours was destroyed and they haven't started to rebuild so I'm not sure if they will.

New York City is one of the places on our list that we want to visit, we've made some headway on the list but we keep going back to WDW.

Guess I'll go and give sleep another try,

Good Night,
Debbie

Please remind me to never go for a walk after 6pm two days after it rains. I started out my walk with no problems like normal. About 10 to 15 minutes into it I noticed that I was being bit by mosquitoes. I kept walking a little while more and it was getting worse. I was being eaten alive by mosquitoes.

At one point I had 5 mosquitoes on my leg and several others on my body. It was horrible I have never been eaten by mosquitoes so quickly and fierecely in my life before. Yes I am known to be prone to mosquito bites but this was horrible.

I ran for my life back to my car. I kid you not. I don't think I have ever ran that far and that fast before in my life. I had already walked about a mile and I ran almost the whole thing back. I thought I was going to die. Everytime I slowed down the mosquitoes would catch up and start sucking my blood again. So I had to keep running. When I made it back to my car I almost collapsed.

I turned the car and the AC on and caught my breath. As there was no way I was staying out in open to become mosquito meat for more of the little suckers. Then I drove home. Once I got home I rubbed my body down with vinegar and coated myself in hydrocortisone cream and I downed some Benadryl. I still was itchy, I know myself and I know I will scratch the stupid things open no matter how hard I try not to.

I have about 10 to 20 bites on each leg, 5 to 10 on each arm. I have several on my head, neck and face. I have them on my back, shoulders, etc basically I got eaten alive.

Does anybody have any other suggestions of what to do for mosquito bites? I took an oatmeal bath, more Benadryl and coated myself in Hydrocortisone cream. I am luckily not itchy right now.

I think I am definitely going to need to start taking Garlic tablets and vitamin B as well to hopefully reduce this problem in the future. Plus coating myself in the nasty smelling bug repellant that makes me unable to breath. I have yet
to find a bug repellant that's stench doesn't make me feel sick.

Today had to be the day "When Insects Attack" as my Mom's Best friends Middle daughter was mowing the lawn and she happened upon a yellow jacket's nest and they attacked her. She is fine, but the insects are misbehaving very much around here.

Sending and to eveyone who needs it.

Becky,

I always wipe our bites down with rubbing alcohol and I do it quite often. I find that it dries them out. I am the same way I will scratch and scratch and then hate myself. My grandmother used to give me a Vaseline jar to pick the label off to keep my from scratching. Crazy but it worked. Thank god I never had chicken pox as I would be one big walking scar!
