The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

[ReAnSt]

I lucked out with the rain yesterday...the weather stayed dry until I got home from work and I was able to MOW the yard! First time in ages it seems like. Now it's raining again here too. Thunder in the distance...rain all around us...

Weather has been weird here as well. It will rain and get windy for like a half an hour and be done. I feel like I am living in Orlando again, with the fly by storms daily.

That sounds yummy too. Can you post the recipe, please

Easy Mexican Lasagna

This simple and delicious one-dish supper calls for almost
no preparation (especially if you buy precooked, cut-up
chicken).

3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2/3 cup canned diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can fat-free cream of mushroom soup
1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce
Vegetable cooking spray
9 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 cup (4 ounces) low-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Toppings: shredded lettuce, nonfat sour cream, mild chunky salsa, guacamole

Cook first 6 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Stir together chicken and mushroom soups and enchilada sauce in a saucepan; cook, stirring often, 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Spoon one-third of sauce into a 13- x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with 3 tortillas. Spoon half of chicken mixture and one-third of sauce over tortillas; sprinkle with half of Cheddar cheese. Top with 3 tortillas; repeat layers once with remaining chicken, sauce, Cheddar
cheese, and tortillas, ending with tortillas. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.

Bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes or until lasagna is bubbly. Serve with desired toppings.

I use flour tortillas instead of corn but it's good either way. I don't use FF anything, but will get reduced fat soups. We don't like FF or LF cheese so I use the real thing. This freezes really well too.

You all have been very chatty tonight however my computer is soooooooooooooooo slow. It seems fitting as my day has just been not one worth repeating. Nothing major in light of things that some are dealing with, so I won't complain, except that I went and got my hair cut this evening and I want to The stylist understood what I wanted or so I thought. But when I look in the mirror I look like this Oh well, it will grow back.

I am too tired to catch up now but I did want to send and to Denise and Rees. Whatever he needs I hope he gets it and it works. You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

To everyone else here is to all who need it. Maybe my computer will cooperate tomorrow. Goodnight all!

I wanted to go to WDW w/ the other 18th’ers, but I couldn’t so I made them these





Edited:
I had no idea that I got this milestone until many post later. I was picking on everyone about an SSP and was totally clueless.


33,000

33,000



33,000

So she gets the milestone and forgets the picture.

Congrats on the milestone Paula.

 

[ReAnSt]

Marti should be giving them out sometime soon.




Thank you Marti, Paul and Matthew for helping me with one of my SSP's.

Those are too cute, they are gonna love them. Did you make one Pal Mickey sized??

Rees did very well with the Upper GI this morning. He got quite upset, but overall handled it extrememly well all things considered.

The Pediatric Surgeon, just called. Rees does have a Diverticula in the lower esophagus. He said it is in a very weird location (usually they are higher in the Esophagus), but isn't sure if that is causing all of Rees' problems. He also said the Fundo wrap looks very large, and it may be twisted or loose. He wants to take a close anatomical look at Rees himself. So next Thursday, May 25, Rees will go to Egleston Hospital to have another Endoscopy and an abdominal ultrasound. The surgeon will perform both tests himself. Rees will have to have general anesthesia again. ​

The surgeon said the surgery, if Rees needs it, is major and he would be in the hospital for at least a week. He doesn't want to do unless he has to, so we may end up trying the feeding tube route if Rees keeps losing weight.

So please pray we find a definitive answer to what is hurting Rees, that he starts eating, and maintains his current weight. We appreciate the prayers and support more than you can imagine.

You have my prayer, support and anything else that you need from me. I am so sorry that someone so young has to endure such pain. Please send Rees and the other figs my well wishes.

I would hope that with the incentive of getting a Paula’s SSP pillowcase, we could all make a DDA Land or World meet some day.

Where oh, where might DDA land or DDA World be, isn't that someplace in cyberspace that we all try to visit everyday? Therefore shouldn't we all get a Paula's SSP pillowcase?

 

[ReAnSt]

Uuuuhhhh, the machine broke?

I have forgotten how to use the machine?

My dog ate the thread?

Shouldn't you be telling us these things, instead of asking a question about these things.

 

[ReAnSt]

Well if your mini meet counts then don't forget that Denise, Julia and I met at Cheesecake Factory last month.

I think Paula's gonna need a lot of virtual pillowcases.

 

[ReAnSt]

Value season would be better for me as well. We are talking next year, right?

I think so, World or the Land??

 

[ReAnSt]

When we found out we were both going to be there at the same time, we checked to see if we'd be in parks at the same time. Our schedules didn't match up except for Cirque du Soleil. We found we were going the same night. So then we checked early or late show. Both late show. Then we checked seating arrangements. As if the meet was meant to be, she & her DH were sitting exactly two seats behind my family in the same row & section.

Never seen Cirque Du Soleil, I was supposed to go one time and got really sick, so I never saw it.

DDA Meet Requirements




​

The following are the official (until the queen gets back and changes it, for I am just the Court Jester who wants to be the Countess of Color and Fonts )





A DDA LAND or World meet is defined as….

• When three or more DDA member meet at either Disneyland or WDW outside of a by chance meeting.
• The three members must be those who post on the DDA thread (children, spouses and significant others do not count as DDA members unless they have a screen name and post regularly)
• The meet must be discussed and schedule via the DDA thread.

This is the current official definition of a DL or WDW DDA meet.

What is the definition of regularly?????
Also I think these needs a start date as in anything in the future and not in the past.

The GI doctor's nurse just called because the Radiologist Report came back. It says the Fundoplication is Incompetent. That means it has failed. He is to call us tomorrow with more information. It also showed that Rees' stomach has rotated to a transverse (lying on its side) position which is very unusual and probably means it is trying to herniate. So, if this is all true, it does look like Rees will be having surgery. I will keep you posted. I told the nurse to have the GI doc call the surgeon so they could discuss treatment. I'll try to be back later.

Sending and to Rees and you. If he needs the surgery I hope all goes well and he has a speedy recovery and doesn't need anymre surgery later.

Ok, Marti, Paul, Kitchensink guy and myself all met at WDW last October. We had planned to meet at 6:15 PM by the tiki gods, but ended up being together in line to get in, then we saw each other for a few minutes later that night. I must admit that we didn't really get a chance to talk as it was MNSSHP and we were really busy. I think I met your criteria although I bet that your going to make a new rule that says from this point forward

Thank you for everything you and Dh do for our country.

Please remember to take a picture or have someone take a picture of you.



Does someone have to come over and staple a reminder onto one of your DD's so you will remember???

 

[tink2020]

Dh took Riley for his eye appointment while I was at the game. He needs glasses, so now I get to take him back to pick out frames. This probably explains some of the headaches he has been having. I had to go to his school today & take him some tylenol. This should be fun seeing how long a pair will last before they get broken or lost How old do children have to be before they can wear contact lenses?

Hunter started wearing glasses in kindergarten. Knock on Wood he hasn't lost or broken a pair yet. I've made lots of adjustments for him though. They aren't so bad once they get used to them. I think Hunter looks cute in his glasses. I hope Riley adjusts easily.
