The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 5

[Glynis]

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around. Everything's fine.

I put my t-shirt designs here for anyone who still wants one.

Glad to see you are alright! We've been worried! Take care of yourself!

I just wanted to say thank you to the DIS and the DDA for fueling my Disney addiction, my Diet Coke addiction, allowing me to have a place to celebrate and cry without being judged, and giving me a home away from home. This is a wonderful group of women and men, and I'm proud to be a DDA! I love you all very much.

Now, on to 10,000!

Congratulations Denise!!!!
I do however think you have a little problem with drinking. That is one LARGE drink you have.

Colby is fine. He just had it before bedtime last night and woke up just as happy this morning. He is sitting on my lap now telling me that he is starving to death. Good thing as dinner is about to be served

Deb

Glad to hear Colby is better.

Hi. I feel pretty silly lamenting about this, with the more serious problems we all face, but I figured you might be wondering where I've been all day, so here goes:

We lost one of our cats today. We noticed Mickey was acting a bit odd on Saturday, but it was easy to assume he was at odds with Lucy, the other cat. (Lucy is the alpha cat and she typically puts him in his place.) Yesterday, we noticed he was walking funny, so I made him a vet appointment today for when Kevin got home from work, so someone could stay home with Alyssa. Well, when Alyssa and I got back from getting her pictures taken this morning, Mickey couldn't even walk, so I begged Kevin to come home early and I rushed him to the vet. He had a bladder infection and though he survived the process of unblocking him, his heart gave out after the procedure. I feel terrible. He was only seven. And Alyssa keeps asking where he is.

I'm going to turn the computer over to Kevin, because I asked him to design our Easter card, but I'll try to check back in later tonight and respond personally to some posts from the last 36 hours...

Amy

Amy, I'm so sorry for your loss, we get very attached to our pets. You are not silly.

I don't remeber the Electric Company...but I do remember Captain Kangaroo.
How about Mr. Jingleing? He's mainly from the Cleveland area...from Halley's 7th floor....
What about School House Rock (Old school style!)

School House Rock is awesome!! Cassidy did that as a grade musical in 3rd grade. Both girls love the old school School House Rocks....that newer version is stinky!

 

[Glynis]

These are so nice. DO they come in the DisneyLAND version?

I was wondering the same thing. I bet if we asked really nicely, she would make us West Coasters some DL stuff. The Queen did when I asked her.

I am quite pleased with myself right now. I took a photo (non-digital) that was taken of me, my son and my daughter at Innoventions about 5 years ago and scanned it in (new with the scanner), then downloaded software that allowed me to resize it (never did that before) and then made it into my new avatar and it worked!!!

You go girl!!!!

Thank you so much for all your kind words. I get all teary-eyed every time I look at one of Mickey's favorite lounging spots and trying to fall asleep was tough, because he always slept on my legs. He was such a sweet kitty. Kevin and I rescued him from the Target parking lot in August 1999 when we were returning a broken item from our wedding registry. He was the smallest, dirtiest orange and white hairball, but he was our first "baby."

Here's a picture of me, Alyssa, and Mickey, taken a couple days after we brought Alyssa home from the hospital. You can see, Mickey was no longer small!

Thanks again for your condolences. I'm taking Alyssa to an activity at our community center, but I'll be back at naptime to finally respond to everyone else (I even took notes! )

Amy

Amy,
It seems that even if I am having a bad day, just having one of our two orange guys or both laying with me, it just feels better. They seem to know. Miles even tries to wrap his paw around my arm. Ella just will not lay with me. Now my DH that is a different story. She starts chirping at him when he walks in the door.

I'm going to search on the dining thread, but thought some of you all may have some info on this.....has anyone heard anything regarding the rumored Tinkerbell meal?

 

[kc10family]

OMG I'm way back on page 1093.
Been so busy.
I can't tell you how happy I'll be when We are finally in our own place.

I have a question to ask.
Don't take sides.
I just want honest answers.
I have friends @ work who see me come to work Monday after Monday.
Worn out from the weekends of getting this house ready for sale.
3 of them offered to come over & help out for FREE.
Just wanted a good meal.
XDH said no & was mad.
Now he wants his 21 yr old unemployed by choice DS to stain the deck.
Wants me to spilt the cost to pay him.
H*** NO!!
I'm sorry you don't charge family.
I find it disrepectfull to even ask to be paid to do something for family.
Sorry I just needed to vent.

What drugs is your XDH on????
PD and prayers for you.

 

[kc10family]

Sounds familiar.... Ski runs at Heavenly???

Yes ma'am.

 

[kc10family]

I am trying to catch up, but I seem to be getting further behind… so I think I will just read and not respond to every post.



PD, Hugs and Prayers to everyone who needs them.

UPDATE on SIL



The Dr told her that there is a 37% chance that the chemo will work, she will do chemo for at least three full months. If after 6 months ( I was told the chemo can stay in your system for three extra months) it hasn’t done it’s job then she will have a less than 50% chance to live.

She has started her chemo on a 24hr drip and they will test her in a few days to see if it has started to work.



That is all I have for now. DH sends his thanks for all the PD and prayers from you all. He is still in aaaww how you all care for people you have only met over the net.

Ok, now I'm beginning to think I've went 'round the bend (as one of my elder relatives used to say) but I'm going to tell you my idea anyway. One of you, don't remember who, commented that it would be cool to have a DDA Pal Mickey similar to Flat Stanley. It got me thinking. I am probably not going to get a chance to meet most of my DDA friends in person, so I was thinking about having Mickey travel around and meet you instead. You'd be responsible to take pictures, sign his passport, get him a souvenir and ship him on to the next person. I'd provide the money for the souvenirs, pictures (unless you have digital) and shipping. He is going on the DDA trip, Japan at the end of June and WDW with me in December.

If I can't meet you all, at least something that belongs to me can share in your lives for a little while. I'd add to his website with where he's been and post pictures.

Is this totally nuts?

I think that is a great idea! It would be fun, you are not completely crazy, or maybe I am too!

What?? A Tinkerbelle meal? How'd I miss that? I only heard about the Toy Story meal which still hasn't materialized. My girls love Tink..that would be great!

Here's hoping the chemo will work. I'll continue to keep her in my prayers!

Does anyone have Midnite's Pop Century design or any other Pop design? I told Lizzy I would make it for her because I made Joe ASMo's last year.

Thanks for any help!

I think I have it at home, I am DISing from work right now. I am still way behind, so I don't know if you already got it from someone else, but if you still need it, send me a pm reminding me and I can post it or email it to you.

Ellen

Glynis and I have a request!!!



We respectfully request ALL designs be done with respect to the ORIGINAL park and LOVE of Walt Disney. The words “Disneyland Resort” will replace all WDW Resorts wording at the bottom of ALL designs. After you WDW people do the designs in your park of course.

Now I just talked with Walt and he said that would be the Disney thing to do.



This message was written by a woman who is lacking in good coffee today and does not truly express the thoughts of Glynis. She was just dragged into it because she is a west coaster as well.

 

[Glynis]

Kristin - I don't know if you have the time, or the inclination to do this for me, but my family are going through a bout of post-Disney woes, and I thought I'd make some T's for all the kids for the summer. Would you be willing to send me some of the character designs without the Walt Disney World at the bottom? If you are, let me know and I'll PM you my request. If you are too busy, don't worry about it. I know how hectic things can be.

By the way, how is Kyle doing with his big-boy bed?

 

[marcij]

Are you kidding me!
Dance around the house in your birthday suite spraying silly string all over the place. However I would pick a different color than blue. You have had enough blue in your house.

Kristine -- I thought about you last night. While sitting at my younger son's baseball game, another mother was talking about how she had sent her husband to WalMart for a number of items, one of them being sand to put in the sandbox before the big easter egg hunt they had last Sunday. The husband came back with BLUE sand. Needless to say, blue was everywhere -- all over the kids, their clothes, her house etc.

I did not chime in with your blue issues....
