Jennifer, it is useless.

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

how cool!!!

We splurged on this only because it has the same "friends" like her swing. She lights up and starts talking everytime she see them!

so whadya get???

Can you believe only 1 doll, Addy. About 6 outfits, some accesories and books. Not much for the $$.

Well, decide when, and I'll either meet you there and show you around, or plan your trip for you! I've got to do something to meet y'all.

HEY!! How about me???

Really there is no need to fight over me Sadly, it won't be for a few years. After this trip to WDW our next big trip will be to Germany to visit Eric's family.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Welcome home Lindsay.

 

[KMH1]

Welcome home Lindsay and Anne Marie!

Denise, We are praying for the Figs!!!

Heidi, I tried a few different searches, but I couldn't find it.

Kevin and I were considering a DL trip for our 10th anniversary (2009), but we're definitely postponing! DCA is going to be a whole new park!

Cute pictures Karen!

That reminds me, I never did post any of Matthew's 1st birthday pictures, did I? July was kind of a blur!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Karen, nice pictures.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Robyn, cute picture of Lucy.

Alyssa was anxious to walk by the neighbors' houses again to see if they got their "boos." Both bags are gone, and one neighbor has the ghost hanging on her door. We'll see if this works!

I filled the bags with suckers and non-chocolate candy (didn't want to worry about allergies), stickers, and Pez.

This is the verse I found: Here's a Halloween wish that's just for you, with a special "hi" and a great big BOO!

I also included these directions:
1) Enjoy your treat!
2) Place the picture of the ghost on your front door.
3) You have 24 hours to copy this and secretly deliver two boos to two neighbors who do not have a ghost on their front door.
4) Watch how far the Boos spread by Halloween!

Lucy wanted to show off her new toy...

We have one of the original Jumperoos...it was a big hit with both my kids!

Adorable picture! Wait until she really gets into jumping!

Thank you for trying Amy.

I am sure Heidi has already beaten me to this, but here are the new signature guidelines:

Our signature rules were written a few years ago. Back then a lot of our posters used dial up connections and the VBulletin software did not have the functionality it does now.
The old rules were difficult to understand and they took a lot of moderator time to enforce. We have developed all new rules that should be much simpler and much easier to enforce automatically.

1. Your signature will be limited in length. The program will do this
automatically and anything over the allowed length will be cut off

Explanation- the biggest complaint we recieve is that signatures are too long and it takes too long to scroll through threads. We are going to start with a height of 250 pixels, you'll see what that means when we roll this out. We may add an additional option so that a signature only appears once per page.

2. You will be limited to a total of 25 images and smilies The program
will handle this automatically

Explanation- That should be PLENTY considering the amount of space

3. All content and links must meet DIS board posting guidelines.
Signature have the same content rules as any post on the boards

Explanation- Pretty obvious I hope, this includes commercial link, links to innapropriate sites, etc etc

4. You may not have a signature that is so wide it causes the page to
expand

Explanation- This is something the software can't control. Basically the only way to do this is to have a really really wide picture. If your signature means people with a normal resolution monitor need to scroll from side to side you'll be told to remove the picture causing the issue

5. We reserve the right to remove or modify signatures that cause
issues with the boards or slow page loading. Please make sure any images in
your signature are hosted on a reliable site. Any signature that contains
malicious or harmful code will be removed immediately and the poster
sanctioned

Explanation- Most of this should be pretty obvious. One thing people might not realize is that when people complain about the boards being "slow" it may not be us at all. When the boards load a page, if it can't find an image, it can make the boards appear slow.

We will roll this out in a few days, probably Wednesday. You don't need to take any action now, but you probably will want to check your signature after this goes into effect to see how it was affected.
If you have any questions on this please post on this thread on the tech support board, I will monitor those.

The Webmasters believe that these new, simplified rules will make the boards a better place for our posters and moderators.
Thank you for being a DIS boards member!

So What are the guidelines

Does anyone know how to get the search function to work?
I am looking for my apple thread I started on the CB, but no matter what I type in it tells me sorry, no matches.

If it is a thread that you started you should be able to find it under your user CP. Change it from current threads to all threads and it should be there. That is how I find things that I'm looking for.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I finally found my post, but not with the crappy search engine. I remember posting it at the beginning of the month, so I went back to where post started on 10/7 and went page by page till I found it.

 

[Pooh67_68]

No, but I think I should.

You're welcome.

I take it you don't subscribe to your own threads.

least ti tomorrow.. i spent from 1 til now ini the hospital...im
exhausted and anxious..please keep my dad in your prayers

Lots of prayers for your Dad Jen!

You are welcome to
come have a slice of my cake, Bernadette. Ice cream, too.

Wouldn't it be great to have a little jet like Mr Jetson? I could zip over to your place for cake & ice cream and put the jet in a briefcase so I wouldn't even have to park it.

My friends who are coming to
Disney with us in December just came back from Spain. Apparently
they didn't have an entirely enjoyable time! I haven't heard any of
the details yet. But keep in mind that one of these friends found
something to fuss about for 7 straight days at WDW. Hopefully their
trip wasn't too horrible.

Aren't you glad you're staying at different hotels?

Yes,
I dub you, Elizabeth, wise counselor to Her Majesty Queen
Theresa

Oh my goodness I crack myself up!!!

Bernadette (and anyone else ),

Yesterday, I got this email from Winkflash:

We received so many requests to run the book sale that we decided to run it again! This really is such a great deal, you don't want to miss this one.

Order now through November 4th, 2007 and get a 9x12 Classic Cover photo book for only $19.95 per book. That means no per-page charges, just one flat-rate per book, no matter how many pages you order. Just use the coupon code on the right when you place your order.

93D8E74

After seeing the awesome book you made Joe, I think I may try this offer for our December trip. No per-page charges...woo hoo!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Yup....I want to thank both teams for
wearing each other out...it will be much easier to sweep you
now!!

I wouldn't count on that......

We won't be getting Oreo's from Costco
again any time soon...we ate all 10 sleeves in less than a week and I
don't even like Oreo's

Aidan update:

So we got home earlier today with an SUV full of home health
equipment and supplies. I think we need a bigger house, but it was
great to know it's becoming more real each and everyday. The Room-In
went quite well and we are getting excited for his homecoming. He
will be released on Tuesday, but we are unsure of the time. We are
planning on arriving first thing that morning and getting him ready
for his trip HOME! Mya is quite excited and we have had fun
organizing all of the supplies, not really.

Our new prayer request is that we can find some QUALITY home nurses
to assist us. We heard many a horror story while on the floor and
believe me we will be running them through the tests, to see how they
do things. At this point we have chosen to use them only during days
and cover the evening work by ourselves. Something about a stranger
staying up and watching TV in my living room really creeps me out.

Aidan is doing really well off of the vent and his heart and liver
are improving rapidly. He also used a false nose yesterday on his
trach and did quite well with that as well. We can not thank you
enough for lifting our son up in Prayer over these past few months
and know that by God's Intervention this boy is coming home. The
Doctor's are amazed at his rapid recovery, but we know that all Glory
belongs to the one whom created him.

Now I pray he will let me survive on less sleep. I get the evening
shifts.


He sounds close to being home....you all should check out the
pictures!! What a handsome prince he is growing up to be.[/

Thanks so much for the update. Continued prayers for Aidan and Mac family.
