Deadheadbelle, I will gladly hold your hand, but I am through drinking for a while.

Tigger Fans!, I hope you and your family gets better before your trip.

I wonder if it would be OK if I breathed fire in the direction of Michael Eisner (in honor of Roy E. Disney telling him how we on the boards feel) I wouldn't hurt him, but I would let him know that WE CARE. Roy, if you are watching, WE SUPPORT YOU!

OK, now I have to clap for the Tag Fairy....

Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!
Clap Clap Clap!

FYI Deadheadbelle,

HuggaBaloo's last post in the Tagliarchy was on 11/19 (on page 53). He posted on the 22nd in the DB, but I don't think we need an intervention; wasn't he moving or something?

 

[pattyT]

oh how do I pick just one!

hhhhmmmm
I think the tag fairies would like:
Orange-red

OK I know they would actually like saddle brown cuz it looks like chocolate but I just can't go there cuz it looks like other things too!

I send Some Starbucks Charamel Macchiato and turtle brownies to you Thank you!

Hi everybody! Look at my countdown!

SO much to do! I'm freaking out a little. I wish I had a clue what to pack. We've been 2 other times in Dec. The first time it was warm (upper 70's) when we got there and cold (low 40's) by the time we left six days later. The second time it stayed in the 70's the whole time.

I just hope we all can either stay healthy or get sick right now so we can be over it in time. I went with the flu once and DD-6 had a virus and high temps one time.

Everybody done shopping yet?

Time for a new question. Let's make it another seasonal<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_2_2.gif' border=0></a> one.

Laundry is backing up. I'll be back for breakfast, who's buying?

Hi guys. Has anyone seen Huggabaloo lately? If he sees this, I just sent him a PM. We are going to FL on Thursday, and I need someone to hold my hand while I flip out.

Good morning all!

HB is not dead (and neither is Paul McCartney in case anyone is still confused about that ).

Well, it's been an interesting week and a half! I found out the week before Thanksgiving that my mother was going to have surgery the day before Thanksgiving and was expected to be in the hospital for 3-5 days. What the doctors had originally thought was a compressed disc in her neck turned out to be something different after looking at the results from an MRI. Though they weren't exactly sure what it was, they determined it was some kind of mass...possibly a tumor. They said there was a 75% chance that it was not cancerous. They also said that it may or may not be located on the spinal cord (if so, the procedure to remove it would be much more serious). Since she has been battling breast cancer for the past 6 years, we were all more than a little concerned about all the unknowns.

So, my partner and I went to SC last Monday morning. Of course, we were there to be with my Mom, but it turned out that my Dad needed us just as much (I'm sure you all know how that is).

The surgery lasted nearly 6 hours Wednesday morning, and we were all very happy when it was over. According to the doctors the mass was removed completely and was not attached to the spinal cord (very good news). But, the strange part is that they still do not know what it was. They thought it might be viral or bacterial in nature but have since ruled that out through tests. But, the doctors did say that when they removed it they literally saw her spine move back into place, so just getting it out was a major success.

While my partner and I were visiting her Thanksgiving Day, the doctor came in and told her that if she could walk OK and felt up to it, then she could go home that evening. Of course, she was thrilled with that news (she hates hospitals). Sure enough, the physical therapist came by and walked her around the hospital. I noticed that she was already walking better than when she went in.

While my Dad brought her home, my partner and I ran by Wal-Mart for groceries (and some welcome home gifts!), got her prescription, and picked up Thanksgiving meals from a restaurant. So, we were able to have somewhat of a Thanksgiving meal after all! And we really did have a lot to be thankful for.

OK, I'll stop with all the mushy talk...

Sorry for the long post but I do have about 20 pages to make up for!

 

[Laura]

Sounds like some good news, HuggaBaloo. Glad you were able to have a nice Thanksgiving in spite of it all.

 

[RRBB]

I think I'm in the mood for Tonga Toast (from Kona Cafe) for breakfast. Anyone know how to make it???

Okay pattyT, you are now officially Orange-Red. ohanafamily's suggestion - that I refused to post - was "Baby Poop Brown". I like your choice MUCH better.

Today's the day [color=33FF33]Depplyinluv[/color]. I have a feeling Nephosaurus will "remind" ohanafamily so much today that he won't be able to forget about picking up POTC on his way home from work.

Tigger Fans!, how is everyone feeling today?

How's the job interviewing going Bichon Barb? Are you still going to Malaysia in a few days?

HuggaBaloo, that really is something to be thankful for. I'm so glad that your mother is doing better. I can just imagine the stress and anxiety before/during her surgery.

(When I was a junior in H.S. my "healthy" mother went in for gallbladder surgery and came out with 3/4 of her liver removed and cancer.)

[color=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/color], if you have too much to do, I'll gladly take your place at WDW.

I'll answer one of the new questions now. My favorite holiday ritural is opening presents. Actually, I love lighting the Hanukkah menorah and watching the candles burn. It's just so beautiful, especially the last few nights when there are more candles.

 

[RickinNYC]

Huggabaloo, I'm so glad your Mom is doing better! That's cause for a celebration! Everyone raise a glass of your favorite beverage (mine is diet coke, chocolate milk or a slightly dirty vodka martini with gorganzola stuffed olives. I love extremes) and say a toast to Hugga's Mom and wish her well!

Like so many others on this board, I know how hard it is to see your parent going through something like this. My own dad had his third open heart surgery a few years ago and it was terrifying. Plus, seeing my Mom look and feel so helpless... But they're both good now.

Why don't we all say a toast to all our parents or parent like figures!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

morning

 

[llebrekniT]

RRBB, the reason I have so much to do is because I'm going to WDW. Therefore, if you go in my place I would probably have to much time on my hands. So, it's just as well that I go on and go, but thanks for the offer. Hey, how's the foot doing? DH's hurts everytime it rains now. Even after soaking it in kerosene, who would've figured?

HuggaBaloo, I'm so glad things turned out OK for your mom and your family. Brings everything into focus when something like that happens. My poor Aunt lost her husband to lung cancer 7 years ago last month. She met a wonderful man a few years later and they finally got married this summer. A few days before their wedding they discovered a lump in his lungs. He began treatments and had the lung removed right after the wedding in August. He died over the weekend. The funeral is tomorrow. My heart is breaking for her. How does a person make it through this?

Sorry for the downer. I have to go over to the resort and parks boards and have a look around. I also need to call GF and make some and confirm some requests. Do you suppose they'd give us a complimentary bump up to concierge?

Thanks for all your concern and well wishes! DS is back at school today (he coughed all the way there - we'll see how long it lasts). I refuse to get sick....I have a trip to WDW coming up!

Tigger Fans!, how is the family doing? is your DS better? we all worry about you... I looked at the expensive Digital Cameras, but RRBB likes her tiny Nikon CoolPix 2500 that takes good pictures. I have an SLR (one with a removable lens) that is APS, and I hardly ever use it; it is too much of a pain. Part of my needs on a camera is a good Macro. I have an Olympus C-5050 that takes really Good pictures, but doesn't have a removable lens. Most of my pictures are either Macro, of the kids, or Vacation; this camera has a wide enough range that it is usually good enough; if not, there is always Photoshop...

ohanafamily - Thanks for the input on cameras. I prefer a point and click camera myself, but DH wants the SLR Digital type where you can adjust everything. He's not going to be buying before we hit WDW though. He used to be something of a photography buff and wants to get back into it as a hobby.

HuggaBaloo - I'm so sorry about your mother. Hope she'll be on the mend soon! Just so you know, we miss you when you're away!

I was wondering when you would notice.
Affectionately, The TAG FAIRY

 

[Bichon Barb]

Huggabaloo, so glad to hear that your mom is doing well. That must have been scary.

Yes, TiggerFans, we are going to Florida Thursday morning with the rugrats for Rob's interview with the President of the company. The reason me and the boys are going is so that I can take a look around the area and see if it is somewhere I even want to live!

I admit I'm feeling a bit bipolar. One minute (like this morning when I was removing the snow from car yet again), I think this could be a wonderful adventure! Camping year round! Disney! The ocean!, Etc. Then the next minute I'm thinking I can't leave my parents up here in the arctic tundra all alone (as it stands now, my mom has agreed to live in Florida for three months out of the year if we go down there ). I hate heat and humidity! I'll miss my friends and my great neighborhood! How will the boys adjust?

Ohanafamily, no, we are not going to Malaysia. I told Rob to just send an e-mail to the company whose meeting we are supposed to be attending that a personal matter has unexpectedly come up and we will not be attending. I hope they don't ask questions. Yikes. Our company will most likely be losing all that money we invested in the tickets. C'est la vie!

I'm a Taurus, and you know what story book character is equated to the Taurus? Bilbo Baggins. LOL! That just about sums me up.

Thanks for listen to me whine and HEY EVERYONE! Take care of yourselves. There's lots of yucky viruses going around!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

think I should go for a new tag? It's time to trade WL for either KP or the fab five

 

[cheeringmom]

HuggaBaloo so glad your mom is doing well. What a stresser. But you are a good son to be there for your parents!! Kudos to you!!

Tigger Fans! WOW, it won't be long now. It was so weird, when I read your post to look at your countdown timer, it just turned from 3 days to 2. Just at the exact moment I "checked it out!!" woo hoo.

[color=33FF33]Depplyinluv[/color] got POTC!! Haven't opened it yet. Supposed to be a Christmas gift for my ds. I think I'll watch it first to see if it is ok for the young monor!!!hehehhe

Hooray for all the newly tagged and those who received NEW tags. Where is mine TF??? I do not want to be a cajun anymore!!!!!!

 

[cheeringmom]

WAIT

Wasn't I the loser on the last poll for picking the Tag Fairy's favorite color? Doesn't that deserve some kind of sympathy? Or shall I bend as low as to beg for a new tag like SOME PEOPLE (hehehehe) on this thread??? PLEASEEEEEEEEE w/ sugar and all sorts of sweets on top!!

 

[cheeringmom]

Last post.....ohanafamily how come my DIS emails now go to my bulk mail file? I haven't done anything differnet. I didn't think anyone had posted in awhile then when I checked my bulk file, there were a ton of different threads in there to respond to. What do you think is going on in my little computer????<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_23.gif' border=0></a>
