Here are some much needed :grouphug:

We_Love_Disney · Jan 27, 2009

Thank you.

yes, Bailey contracted Lyme disease a few years ago. We have been battling that and other complications. She would rebound, then relapse.

We had to make the most heart wrenching decision today. Intellectually, I know it was the only decision, but, emotionally, Oh My God, I could never have fathomed the intense pain and anguish we are feeling.

We had her for 9 years. A beautiful dog that loved us without question.

So sorry to hear about Bailey. :sad1:

The furbabies send a hug :grouphug:

Hi everyone!

How are all the freaps doing??!

Kellie, how has work been?? And how are you feeling?

I am still looking for a vacation- anyone looking for a place to get away, Orbitz has some surprisingly awesome deals!!! They sent me an e-mail yesterday and I was looking at them last night!

DH and I want to get away, but OMG- we are so afraid to spend any money with the way things are right now! We have the money in our vacation account- however, we keep thinking we might need to hold onto that money. DH is a mechanic and no one is even getting their cars worked on!!!! :guilty:

He is lucky b/c it is a small shop with only 2 mechanics and they both have been there for 20+ years, but in these times, that does not matter.

I told him we might need to put on some some ski masks and start sabotaging the cars in his area! *insert Mission Impossible music here* :rotfl:

It snowed a little yesterday morning- we only got a coating. Last night before going to bed- it started snowing again and we got just a few inches. It stopped already and we are supposed to get....rain all day :guilty:

You can keep the ice and sleet- but I will take some snow. :wave2:

Stay warm, safe and cozy today!

How scary is this- talk about bad economic times!

I just heard on Howard Stern- that Starbuck's is no longer brewing decaf coffee!!!! They were dumping too much of it, so now if you want a cup of decaf, you will have to wait for them to brew a cup for you. :guilty:

This is way too scary for me! :sad1:

As far as the brewing a cup of decaf to order ~ I'd LOVE it!!! Too many places don't go through enough but still serve the old sludge so a fresh cup would be delightful :coffee:

However, Starbucks is also one of the companies having a big layoff :sad2:

It is definitely getting scary out there!

I read that their policy is to brew a fresh pot of coffee every half hour. I guess they were tossing out too much decaf!

mtblujeans · Jan 28, 2009

IAHD! I am so jealous! I loved being down there last September! :cheer2:

Jeankeri! What a nice trip you have planned! We don't have much experience with the different resorts but I sure love trying a different one each trip! :cool1:

Iamgrumpy, I don't remember a Pepsi One coupon. :guilty:

Did you find it?

We_Love_Disney, I am sorry about the loss of your beloved pet! :hug:

I don't imagine there will be pictures of the 'Mission Impossible', eh, Madd! :rotfl:

I can't wait for Spring! I want to see some green grass! :flower3:

pperfectmom · Jan 31, 2009

Dang, I had to go to page 6 just to find the Freaps. :sad:

And here I thought you would all be pining away for me and speculating whether I'm alive or not. Nothing like disappearing for a few days to make you feel loved. :lmao:

We have been out of power due to the ice storm since Tuesday night and it just came back on. :cool1:

Needless to say, we are very happy but busy. I'll try to get some pics and details posted later.

We_Love_Disney-I am so sorry to hear about your doggie. That is such a hard decision to make but know that you did the right thing. We are here if you need moral support. :grouphug:

We are also here if you ever need "immoral" support. :goodvibes

jeankeri · Feb 1, 2009

Marna- Did you guys stay put without the power? Is everyone thawing out? Glad you are back to normal and nice to see you back. I could swear there HAS been chatting going on; maybe it's been on the freebie thread....... :rotfl2:

I am back to work and it been a little crazy. My company is really feeling the bad times. I was back three days and they brought the myself and the rest of my Union committee in to tell us they would be shotting down for a couple of weeks. If we did not agree to this then they would be letting at least 20 people go. :sad2:

So I talked the CEO and the CFO into putting us all on work share. For those who do not know is a one day lay off every week. We work 4 days and collect unemployment for the 5th. But it saves jobs. So that starts this week. We had to pick Monday of Friday to be off. I took Friday's. But the next couple of weeks I will be off Wensdays. I have follow DR appointments. Plus I found out I need to get a MRI. One of my oncology Drs is worried about a lump. :confused3

I do feel pretty good. I am tired by the time I get home. ( I miss my naps :rotfl2:

)

We are looking to take a trip in May to Disney. DH had told me when I first got sick that when I was better he would get me a prize. So we are looking at Disney.
Now I need to find someone to sit at the PC all day and hook me in to the dollar a day hotel. :rotfl2:

I tried the site from work but they have it blocked. :sad1:

DH will not stay at a value so I need a good deal on a Mod or mt dream hotel of GF.

jeankeri · Feb 1, 2009

Kellie- So good to hear from you!!! Sorry that there are all those changes at your job, but glad that they are willing to be creative to keep you all working. BTW, how is your DH liking his new job? He found something at the start of the year, didn't he?

NATALIEBELLESmom · Feb 1, 2009
