I'm sure that someone already did these.

Torch is a flashlight. Ds6 has been playing the Chronicles of Narnia game and now always refers to a flashlight as a torch.

Spanner is a tool, I think a wrench, but I'm not positive.

Beth

Yup you got them both right!

Just logged in to say hi, everyone has left, that's my friday dinner done for the next 2 weeks when it swings around to me again.

+- 112 new pages for me to read so here I go.

 

[itdjbw]

Enough people wanted this recipe, so I'm posting it here.

2 Tbs. brown sugar, not packed
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
3 Tbs. soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 Tbs. grated fresh gingerroot
4 salmon fillets


In a shallow baking dish, combine brown sugar, oil, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Place salmon fillets in baking dish. Turn fish over several times to coat and refrigerate for as long as you can (I try to do this for at least 3 hours, turning the fish every half hour). Preheat broiler. Remove fish from marinade. Place fish on a piece of foil on a broiler tray, rutning once during cooking, about 6 minutes per inch of thickness and at about 6 inches away from the heat. Do not over cook and watch your fish like a hawk!

Very yummy! I hope you all enjoy it!

Thanks for the recipe, this one sounds so easy, just my style so I will trying it this week.

I made my DVC ressies! Yay for me! Oct. 18-22 at SSR in a studio. I will call back on March 19 and start making ressies for BWV or BCV, if they have room. Or should I just wait until the March 22 when I can make ressies in their entirety.

This DVC stuff is confusing. I'm sure I had the CM aggravated when I couldn't decide to use my pts for this yr, which need to be banked by Jan. 31. We got a use yr of August. So, I had her bank my 200 pts. Then in Aug. we will get another 200 pts. This trip will cost 64 pts. Then I will have 336 pts. left. Did I do the right thing?

Seems like I have a lot of pts. I need to plan another trip on top of this one. Who wants to go somewhere?

I took the kids to the resort in Hilton head a couple of years ago, it was great and Disney have a great beach house there, the kids loved the campfire and story telling at night and it was another great option which would be closer to home.

Paul - I feel for you

with this new diet - my body seems to be purging everything and it aint pretty

on top of that Nick has had at least 5 poopy diapers a day this week - which is why I finally enlisted Julias help

and Julia is on an anitbiotic that turns her poop bright red - it looks like blood - thank goodness I was prepared for it this time

she took it once as a baby and when I went to change her diaper it look like blood b/c it had also loosened her stool - it was Christmas day and i PANICKED called the doctor and he felt horrible when he called - he felt bad for not warning me and was shocked the pharmacy didn't either - usually they both do - unfortunatley they forgot to tell me

Kate. It sounds viral. Colby has started with a cough today and has acted ill overall. He has also had several horribly stinky diapers today. I need a gas mask. Hopefully it is a short lived thing and the rest of us don't catch it.
Sorry about missing your romantic weekend, but I'm sure that Nick and Julia truly appreciate having you there to take care of them.

Hahahahah We actually got Clare in one!! I know the question has been answered Clare, but maybe we should make this a two way street. You come up with Queens Englishisms and we'll come up with Americanisms!!

Anybody have a good one??

American diapers = ???

American Pacifiers = ???

I think it is around 20-25 dollars, sometimes he has a discount code for a few dollars off. I got it for 17 and change. We did MVMCP too. Not so much advice on picking hotels, more like a lot of info and then you decide. He also has a forum like this too attached to his site. We stayed at the WL last December. Some people don't like it because it is rather dark, not sunny and bright like you want Florida to be. I chose it because of that...it was Christmas, so I wanted to have a Christmas feel, all warm and cozy. The lobby there is magnificent. AKL is set up very much the same way, lobby-wise. The only real difference is the animals. And WL is a boat ride away from MK. Any other destination you need to take a bus. Or you can boat to MK and then take monorail. AKL is all bus. If you want more detailed info, just PM me.

Thanks

The discount code for TGM is: HE7KD-8GA It is $3 off the subscription price of $21.95 (I think)

here is the link for the preview tour: http://tourguidemike.com/tour/index.asp

I have used TGM for the last 2 trips and have already purchased for next August.

You can buy whenever you want. He doesn't have the dates up for December, but you can review last December and go from there.

I, for one, think it is well worth the money. Some people find the website hard to navigate, but if you follow through the steps he outlines, it helps.

I printed off the touring plans for all the parks and used his best day to go to parks chart and never waited.

Thanks for the discount code. and link I might check it out this weekend if the kids cooperate.

 

[Eeyorecln]

Thanks Kate
The Queen has lead me home.
I'm finishing off the old thread.
Catch you all later.

Hello. Glad to see you.

American diapers = ???

American Pacifiers = ???

our friend from Ireland called a pacifier a suter (sp)

Sorry. I just saw the pic. with the 3 and jumped to the wrong conclusion. Sorry. I know I still toy with having another especially since I still walk by the little girl dresses in the stores and sigh. I love my DS's but there's something about having a little princess to dress up and spoil. The odd thing is all 4 of ours were unplanned surprises so if we decided to have another it would be our first planned one. I figure we can leave the idea open for a couple years. But DH keeps saying he's too old for diapers and nights without sleep with this one. Geesh he's only 37 and 5 years older than me. I think we're still young enough. At least he hasn't closed the idea off by "closing things down". Good luck deciding.

Yes you have plenty of time....I'm a handful of years older than you ...so time's a ticking. And I agree with your DH...it's those sleepless nights that are a killer.

 

[KristineN]

Thanks. And I think you're right- there always is someone taht isn't gonna be happy. I'll try to forget about it. Unfortunately for me..... Guilt is my friend! I gotta make some new friends!!!!

I hear you...I have been trying to make a real effort not letting some of this small stuff get me down. Not always easy.

 

[itdjbw]

torch is flashlight I believe?

spanner....that one I have no idea

Spanner = wrench - tool to tighten

 

[dumby]

DH just called on the way home from work. He's arranged for a sitter for the kids, and is taking me out to dinner and to see King Kong. I'm excited. An actual date with my hubby! I love those evenings. I don't even care that dinner will be pretty lame for me. Oh well, it's all about being with hubby and enjoying time together, right? We haven't been on a date for a long time. We always end up taking the kids with us. This will really be a treat!

Guess I'd better go get ready! Talk to you all tomorrow.

Hope you have a wonderful evening with your DH.

 

[dumby]

Just got back from dinner, must have gotten some bad chicken. Stomach is killing me, if its not one end its the other. Gonna go lay down, talk to you later...

Bobs your uncle

I hope by the time I am posting this that you are feeling much better.

 

[itdjbw]

OMG I'm now 77 pages behind.
I'm sorry that a few bad eggs had to end our old thread.
I'm glad that this 1 was started.
IF MY SARCISM EVER GETS OUT OF LINE LET ME KNOW A.S.A.P.
I'm known to be a SA.
You all are my family.
So stick lets together & play nice.

I grew up in South Africa and always use SA, after seeing you use it just made me think how funny it must look and what people think!!!

I still have a bunch of posts to catch up on. I still feel like I am getting sick coughing sore throat achy, but today I also feel nauseous and dizzy to add to it. At first I thought it was because I have my period(sorry guys don't want to scare you away) but then I started talking to the people who work at the other stores and both males and females said they had felt nauseous reccently or did when I talked to them. I hardly ate anything today at all, it just makes me feel worse.

Now onto my job interview, I had already filled out an application before I got there but I still had to fill out about 8 pages of questions some for background check etc. This is after the 8 page application I already filled out. Plus I had to bring a driver's licensce, social security card, birth certificate, vehicle registration, insurance card, declaration page for my car insurance, high school diploma, and college degree. I have never been asked to bring more to an interview. I thought I should just write them a book. I was there for over 2 hours.

I have been hired part time as a residential specialist. I will be working out of small group homes for people with physical and mental disabilities. I can work up to 40 hours a week or as few as I want. So I plan on keeping my full time job and working there some hours each week. If I decide I like it I can put in for full time at any time. After three months of employment if I decide to go full time I will automatically be eligible for benefits. So I'm hoping that I will like it.

Becky

Way to go on the job. I hope everything works out like you want it to. Also I hope you get to feeling better real soon.
