[yellowfish78]

Well here ends my posting party! I guess I have time to check on a few other things for a change! Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

I decided to post a Before and During picture of myself to help Denise make up her mind about NutriSystem

Actually, I was cleaning out my pictures and saw the ones from Christmas and was shocked at how different I look now! I do realize that the angle of the second picture is a bit different, but now I know why my friends are suddenly taking notice.

Wow! ELin you look great

I think I read on another thread that someone else had done this. Then they put them back in the dryer, and put them on with the strap around their ankle, and it worked. You could try it!

I was hoping it might... I'll do it later. I wore them last night while driving and it was a little freaky as without the tight strap I thought my foot might slip out!

My brother just sent me this email - DO NOT READ THIS AND DRINK AT THE SAME TIME - You have been warned!

Here are 6 reasons why you should think before you speak - the last one is great!

Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the word back...or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are the testimonials of a few people who did...

FIRST TESTIMONY: I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a Shampoo and a blow job?" I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word...he knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY: I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."

THIRD TESTIMONY: My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No,I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY: While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY: Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. The realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in awhile, so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No". I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident? "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. So, I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled
"SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST TESTIMONY: This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any... a true story... We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

DC - JULY

That is what I was thinking! Of course we need to wait for Denise to take care of Rees first...

Do we have a final "headcount" as to who is coming and where the heck are we staying?!?!? Or is this too far in advance to worry about it...

 

[PNO4TE]

That latte definitely gave me a jolt!

glad it was the latte and not me

 

[rosiejo]

I did notice that we both have Mickey Mouse watches. This must be another DDA thing. Who all has one?

Me! DH bought me the most beautiful one for my wedding gift - I saw it in the watch shop in MGM but I think he got it at the marketplace. The face is round with a black mickey head and then the strap is mickey heads, alternating silver and diamonte. I should take a picture of it to show you all

 

[rosiejo]

I do I do!

I love it. I got it on sale Thanksgiving last year, and I had never seen one like it. I used to have the leather one with the Mickey whose arms make the arms of the clock (which I also loved). My new one is a platinum-like color (or should I pretend it's real platinum ) which matches other jewlery I have and it's got Mickey heads as links and a really pretty face. It was originally $50 something dollars and I ended up getting it for about $9 It's my favorite Mickey purchase ever!

Hey that sounds scarily like mine although I think mine was pushing 70 bucks...

 

[rosiejo]

I finally found a picture on amazon of my watch! I took one to show, but you can't see the details of the face at all. I couldn't find it on any of the various Disney watches sites

I it! But it's not the same as mine... will post a picture later

 

[tinknme]

Earl of Sandwich & Wolfgang Puck! We also ate at Planet Hollywood & enjoyed our meal there.

What is everyone's favorite Downtown Disney restaurant?

 

[rosiejo]

I have one also.............I was going to the grocery store and my son-in-law was rambling in the garage. He was trying keep the garage door open so he could pull the lawn mower out.....(the auto-opener is broke) I walked up to him and was watching his difficulty and asked him "are you having problems getting it up"...........OH MY GOSH!!! How embarassing to ask your son-in-law that!!! I turned walked away and never mentioned it to him again.

I of course told my daughter and we both laughed about it.

Hi Marti, welcome back!

 

[rosiejo]

Hey Amy.........

Hey that's similar to mine and Jen's! Not only do we all have MM watches but they all look the same... spooky

 

[tinknme]

Wow Elin, you look great!

I decided to post a Before and During picture of myself to help Denise make up her mind about NutriSystem

 

[rosiejo]

Guess what?!!! Lynn, Julia, and I are having an Atlanta DDA meet tomorrow night for dinner! We're eating at the Cheesecake Factory. Yummy! I'll take my camera and post pictures.

Ohh I love the cheesecake factory!

Glad yesterday went well for Rees.

 

[rosiejo]

Sorry to hear you stretched them too much, wonder if there is a way to shrink them back

Glynis just suggested I put them back in the dryer to get them to shrink back - I'm gonna try and will let you know

 

[rosiejo]

I told Theresa I would post a pic of Pal Mickey...he arrived this afternoon and is getting ready for bed now.

Adorable picture of your family Kristine

 

[tinknme]

I have a Tinkerbell & Winnie The Pooh watch

I did notice that we both have Mickey Mouse watches. This must be another DDA thing. Who all has one?

 

[rosiejo]

Nope! He thinks I should tell her to just drop our groceries off at the Pop and leave it at that. HELLOO?! This is probably as close as I'll get to Hawaii! But I'm still debating on gardengrocer.com and their $10 delivery...might be the best thing to do. I don't want to take time out of her family vacation! Denise and Tink - Let me know if ya'll wanna get in on garden grocer! It'll put Bob at peace, not having me driving around Orlando with a stranger! Don't ask me on how we'd get everything to three different resorts though!

Chanon - who was gonna take you shopping? Someone on the DDA? Just being nosey

 

[rosiejo]

Morning Claire! I didn't think I was up this early! Or are you just up really really late?!

It was gone 11.30 am when you posted this - I'm off work today studying. But I currently have two guys installing sky plus (a dvr system) and it's hard to study with the racket they're making so I'm catching up!
