The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 6

[kc10family]

I am the Stealth DDA poster! Several of us use the Invisible Mode. When we had our green light on, we'd get bombarded with PM requests for designs. This way, it keeps it down some. Plus, then we can POUNCE and nobody is expecting it!

I sent you a pm.

I'd be grateful for PD and prayers for my Aunt.

Aunt Dot continues to be in my prayers.

I am hoping that you can spare some prayers and pixie dust for my grandma Ruth.

Grandma Ruth is in my prayers.

Letting Kevin do it!!

(Hi Kevin!! )

that's what I was thinking.

BK got bit by a spider last night on her ankle. It has a big ulcer and is oozing now. It doesn't look like a Brown Recluse bite, but if it's not better we'll have to go to the doctor.

Hope this clears up quickly. You don't need this!

S. Korea? Osan?
Have him send the kids mink blankets.
You should have him send you nock off purses, DH bought me a few and they are great.

I'll have to email him and ask. I'm not sure which base.

Phil is doing pretty well. Thank you for asking. We are currently waiting for his next appointment to hear the results on the whole mess of bloodwork they did a couple of weeks ago. Plus, last week he had an MRI done on his spleen and liver to see if they are more enlarged than in the past. I didn't go with him to the doctor, but he gets the feeling that she believes that there is some underlying lymphoma or something along those lines. I guess when she sent him from blood work she said something like "let's make sure your counts are still okay" like she expects that they won't be sometime. I'm not sure what is to come, but at least we are back with a doctor whom we trust to figure out what is going on.

Psychologically he is doing better as well. The doctor put him on the same medication he took about 4 years ago right before all of the health issues started. Within 3 days he started bruising again - the first symptom that put us on this course. He quit taking the meds then and hasn't started anything new. In an odd way, he is doing better on that front because he has found a new issue to worry about in the world. It seems that for once his pessimism (sp?) is helping.

Thanks again for thinking of us.

Prayers and for you guys. I hope the Dr. figures it out and can help.

true, but if you loose it slow.. it will stay off. Also they have a no pts way now also.

We put in on quickly with stress eating, so I don't think keeping it off will be too bad. We just gained too much over the holidays and didn't bother to get it off. Now my shorts are a little snug!

I agree, wish they sold them by the case. They amaze me for cleaning nasty water stains off our bathtubs. They work wonders on walls, shoes, floors, shoes, need I go on.

Deb

I didn't know they worked on shoes, I am going to have to remember that tip. Thanks.

Hope this clears up quickly. You don't need this!

It looks better tonight. Hopefully it will heal up soon!

OK That is HUGE! Sorry!!! And no laughing at my obsessive planning!!! (Anyone figure out my color coding yet??) Just call me OCD.

Ooooo...I love the color coding. Why didn't I think of that for my spreadsheet?

Heck yeah they are! Mine will be chronologocal by the time we leave. I will also print out two copies of our light reservations so that we will have those "filed" under the right day. I also have pages for each park listing the kids meals offered at each counter servoce. This started after a trip with me sister 4 years ago when she really wanted pizza at MK and we couln't find it anywhere. Now if she (or DD) wants something in partucular we consult the list and off we go. My other odd page is my Potato Head parts list. I keep a checklist of what I have/need so that I don't duplicate. Oh yeah, and my envelopes with the money designated for anything needed...each tip, certain souveniers, stroller rentals, etc.

What was the comment earlier about us all being a little mental?

Could you share your CS kids meal sheet and Mr Potato Heads parts list?

 

[triplefigs]

I sent you a pm.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The second parade is generally much less crowded. Plus, it is easier to do rides and other things while the masses are at the first parade. For MVMCP it worked out wonderfully for us to watch the fireworks, then head to Frontierland to get a great spot for the parade.

Thanks. I'll have to write that down in my notebook.

 

[triplefigs]

Oh you funny girl. How do I do that?

Go to the user CP panel and click options. it's the first box and says "invisible mode".

 

[triplefigs]

Hi, Jo. Good luck with the move.

Tia, glad to hear that Phil is seeing a doctor he likes. He's in my prayers as is Grandma Ruth.

Headed to bed. I won't be on until late tomorrow afternoon when we get home from the hospital. Have a good one, y'all!

 

[Eeyorecln]

I already did...see above!

Amy

Yep, you're definitely not the prayer family of the week anymore.

The Party is over!!! It was very nice. I really had no idea how many people would show up, but the invitation went out to about 60 people. The weather was rainy here today. We had about 30 people actually show up and a few people called with unexpected company or sickness issues so they couldn't come. The cakes were a huge success and There is one entire uncut chocolate cake leftover which I can bring to the restaurant tomorrow night which means I don't have to bake tomorrow I will also bring the topper of the large cake as a centerpiece. I am so happy that it is over, but glad that I did it. Everyone thanked me for throwing the party and my mother even called when she got home to thank me again. Nick appointed himself videographer and interviewed everyone there individually with questions like "So how do you think their relationship is doing?" It was funny to hear the responses and even funnier to hear the comments he was making. I'm sure my parents will enjoy their DVD.

Thank you sooo much for all the nice comments about the cakes. I must give the florist thanks as the flowers ended up looking lovely even though I had my misgivings. I'm certainly glad that they worked with me on the changes.

Tomorrow I need to sew some items for the travelin' Mickeys.

Deb

Sounds like a success.

 

[Eeyorecln]

I did it, I did it, yeah yeah yeah!​

Your girls are too cute. Congratulations.

Oh sure, rub it in! DH just laughed when I proposed going to WDW in May. There's just no way he'd agree to that.

So, how do I get him as hooked on Disney as I am?

Glynis-if you figure it out let me know! I've been working on DH for a long while. He figures he went in Dec 1994 for 3 days so he's seen it all. I really thought the kids having a great time would win him over but they haven't yet. Part of me really wishes he'd just stay home but another part really wishes I'll discover a way to get him to share the magic with us.

 

[Eeyorecln]

It's just the ears. The kids LOVED them. They have white faces with chocolate eyes and mouth. The ice cream was soft. Is the entire thing chocolate at WDW? I thought the one we got was just the ears, but I honestly don't remember. Regardless,the kids were in heaven! And then BK informed us she was eating a lot of those when we go in September! Rees of course said he was eating lots of Itsadoozies (sp?). Those are his fave.

Probably been asked before: but what is a Itsadoozie?
