My DS10's best friend has MD, so it's also something we always donate to. I did make a donation on your site. Good luck with your fundraising, and with managing your MD.

So, today we received confirmation about why our living room wall is falling apart. Yep, we have TERMITES!!! Luckily, they seem to have isolated themselves to the one wall, but it's still going to cost $1250 to get rid of them, plus however much it will cost us to replace the wall. GRRRRR!!!

Amy

Amy -- how frustrating! I know when I was pregnant, all my hormones made every emotion magnified x 10, and this is something that would have sent me over the edge (and wiped out the dozens of plans I had). I'm sure you are more than annoyed that this is costing money you'd rather use on the new house, and delaying moving. I hope they get rid of those pesky critters quickly!

I'm back. I just spent 2 days catching up with everyone. Sounds like a lot of you need pixie dust and hugs. I'm so sorry some of you are going through the things you're going through right now. Just know that you have a place to vent and lots of shoulders to cry on here on the DIS.

I was out of town, throwing a baby shower for one of my best friends. We've known each other since junior high school and the many miles between us (AL and NJ) don't matter one bit. It should be a very happy time, but it's not. Her husband (not DH) leaves a lot to be desired -- doesn't help around their fixer-upper of a house, doesn't bring in much money, doesn't provide her with companionship, doesn't do anything for anyone other than himself -- and being up there clued me in on the fact that it's even worse than I had imagined. Although he did agree to this baby, he has said that it wouldn't change his life and that if something happened to my friend, he would not raise the child. Come on, jerk, even animals take care of their young! (Plus he hates Disney. No redeemable qualities in that guy whatsoever.)

I'm very sad that my friend will be a married "single mother" and wish I lived close enough to help. She is the sweetest person I know, but never learned how to make a decision and is now stuck living with the aftermath of her many poor choices. It's painful to witness.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I'M SORRY I HAVE TO PUT MY 2 CENTS IN HERE!!!
I LIVED WITH A MAN JUST LIKE THIS FOR
12 YEARS AFTER WE HAD OUR SON.
WE EVEN PLANNED THIS CHILD TOGETHER.
TELL YOUR FRIEND TO RUN LIKE H*** OUT OF THERE.
THERE IS A BETTER LIFE OUT THERE!!
GO FIND IT.
TO BE HAPPY ALONG IS BETTER THAN UNHAPPY WITH SOMEONE.
GOOD LUCK TO HER & THE LITTLE 1 SOON TO BE.

Kate -- I think that's a great idea! I'd love something stylish but functional. I am really a backpack girl. I would love one that could either be customized or came with a disney theme. My favorite one for the parks now has several large zippered areas (like three zippered areas back to back), and then several small zippered pockets on the front. It needs to have a pocket for our ponchos or windbreakers, depending on the season, and a camera, then a pocket for the autograph books and a small towel (to save spaces or wipe up wet areas). I also love the little phone space on the strap so the phone is easy to get to, then the small zippered area on the front for purell, chapstick, etc., then a small pocket for kttw cards, fastpasses etc. I know that sounds confusing, so I might just have to send a picture.

Today I made the important decision to abandon Days of our Lives for a while and return to General Hospital. This monkey virus and return of Robert Scorpio storyline is much more exciting than all the storylines Days is dragging out!

Amy

Scorpio??!!! He was always my favorite. I watched General Hospital after school everyday. I can still remember Luke and Laura's BIG reunion!!!

OH MY! I didn't know Robert Scorpio is back on GH. I may have to start recording it and watching it at night again.....

Scorpio was one of my favorites as well. I lived in the dorm when Luke & Laura got married. We had a big TV in the lounge and dozens of us would come back to the dorm to watch General Hospital. On the day, that Luke & Laura got married, the room was full to overflowing!!! I really liked the character that played Scorpios wife as well. I can't think of her name right now.

Anna Devanne or Holly? Anna was Finola Hughes...

Okay, High School Musical watchers...I can't find the right pictures to show for proof so I'm hoping someone will know what I'm talking about....

Is it just me or does the character Kelsi (the composor/piano player) look a lot like Margaret O'Brien as Tootie in Meet Me in St. Louis. Here is a picture of her in Little Women (on the left):

I'm trying to find one as Tootie or of Kelsey, but I'm not the Google pro that the Queen is. So far this is all I can come up with:

 

[lmartin2711]

My DH always wears the backpack. These suggestions would make it easier:

small outside zipper for disney tickets, credit cards, cash.....maybe with small pleats up each side so when it is unzipped you can easily see inside to get what you need out.

medium zipper to hold digital camera or extra film for regular cameras

large zipper to hold park maps, autograph pages......within this zipper a smaller pen holder for several different colors of perm ink pens......this zipper pocket also needs to be lined with a light weight cardboard with a separator in the middle so signed and unsigned pages can be kept apart without getting bent when on rides.

xlarge main zipper to have two long pockets so that water bottles will stay standing straight up when carried. these water pockets will go up against the back area so if frozen will help keep my DH cool in summer time. two other inside pockets the size of a ziploc square container to hold goldfish crackers and a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. the remainder of the area inside this xlarge zipper will be for the wet wipes, hand sanitizer, towel, etc.

two outside side pockets to hold the already opened water bottles. one side for Austin the other side for Alex......since they refuse to share.

That should pretty much do it. Let me know when they will be available for purchase and I will put my order in plus a few more for Christmas presents.

WOW ...... that back pack would be really cool.

I do not know him - DH might - he has had more contact with the offices than me-

he kept up with the staff for work -

I just kept up with his wife!! She is a sweetheart - she and I used to have a blast in DC together - I was the only girl on staff who could really leave the office so she used to have me take her to the events for Congressional wives since she didn't have a car and I got to stay with her!! It was so much fun - the best was our Christmas tour of the white house!!!!!

Hey! I used to sing at those!

Amy

Thanks for the head's up! I saw that Robin was back on. I guess it will be a family reunion...... And then Noah is also back.....

I'm really jealous!!! Darn satellite.

Absolutely. Of course, I did have to pretend that it was an effort to watch while I recorded since Phil already things my tv choices are a little nuts. I had missed the real "Grease" line up ending part the last time around. Now I really see what you meant by an ealier comment.

Not the older boys necessarily, but how about the overalls in the sig picture here for Colby:
http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=11384577&postcount=3912

These are what I was thinking about for Terra (both pairs).

Colby has decided that he doesn't like Mickey anymore. He loves Donald Duck . Nick loves Mickey and they have daily arguments over who's the best character.

I'm thinking of seeing what I can find for Disney fabric and make pj bottoms. Then I can design a T-shirt to match. Guess I need to make a trip to the fabric store.
