Lou and Pongo, prayers for your family and friends. Happy to hear it looks like all will be okay.
Horsegirl, Oh No! I hope you are feeling better today.
Sheridac, Love, love, love your new avatar.
Java, you are one talented chickie. I have to think of an identity for myself. I am so freakin' boring!!
Mark, where are
you flying to??
Mush, I started reading your story, and I'm lovin it. Had to come back here, though, so I can get back to work. I'll go back to finish later. Do you plan to complete it??
Frickles, I would LOVE the tomato pie recipe. Bring it! And your 15 minutes of fame sounds cool, too! I have always hated Bryant Gumbel, though. What a self-important bag of wind he is!
We did have a brief glimpse of fame years ago, too. When my 14 yr old was 6, he was on "Kids Say the Darndest Things" with Bill Cosby. It was one of the Boston shows, and he was one of the 3 kids up on stage with Bill. Pretty cool. LOTS of shots of DH and I in the audience, too. Don't know if they still do, but they used to play reruns of it on some cable channel. Neighbors who didn't know us back then were always coming up to us saying, "I saw you guys on TV last night!!!"
Okay, I know this is a long post, but one last question on the DVC vs free dining thing. Just got my quote from
Dreams Unlimited. Since I haven't had a lot of luck finding points to rent (no time to spend on the DVC rent/trade board...I wonder why?

), do you think I should just spend the extra $153.12 for the convenience of just booking the darn thing? I would have to settle for a hotel room, but since it's just the 2 of us, I don't really care about that. Opinions??? I still have to rent points for my November trip, but I wouldn't mind just getting this one put to bed, so to speak.
