Good evening everyone. I finally found some time to get on here so here it goes. I really tried to go back and read atleast some of the posts so I could get a sense of what was being discussed but . I think that says it all. So I'm just going jump in with both feet and go for it.

pepperw23 Thank you so much for the welcome. It feels really nice to have people actually respond to my posts. I have a feeling I am really going to like it here.

D&DDisney My sons love Star Wars and so do I! We have costumes, light sabers and legos up the ying yang. I do have to admit that my favorites are the first 3 released (episodes 4,5,6) and I've convinced my kids of this too! I loved your cupcakes. My DS7 just turned 7 on April 19th. We had 6 7 and almost 7 year olds running around my house. Our theme was Monster Trucks. My older son is also into Harry Potter and more recently we've been watching the Indiana Jones movies in preperation for the newest movies release. Harrison Ford is still a hottie!

disney54us I love going at Christmas time! We went in Dec 2006 and I just loved all the decorations and Christmas music. We have no plans to attend MVMCP or the Candlelight Processional. My husband isn't interested at this point in time.

M&N Thank you for the welcome. I've decided to just jump in and post. You threadkillers are to fast for me. It sure doesn't take you all very long to post 2 or 3 pages a day!

MagiKitty Thank you for your warm welcome.

Well, looking at the clock I would have to say it is time to hit the sack. I hope everyone had a good day and I hope to find time to stop by tomorrow.

hey ladies!

good morning all. i'm going to do a search on the banning issue. i JUST want to get some information about it, and hopefully protect us by finding out what will get us banned unintentionally. i truly hope this doesn't get ME banned.

be back later! i hope.

 

[lighttech]

Just checked in real quick to let you know the party went well, and I caught the quote about Dreamin' being gone. I am really upset, and hope she knows we'll miss her greatly. I'm hoping this can all work itself thru.

I don't have any time right now, I shouldn't even be on, but I am going to have to go back thru later and try to figure out what happened by catching up... I'm definitely out of the loop.

 

[MagiKitty]

Morning friends! Still grey and yucky here, but at least it has stopped raining. I really shouldn't complain---did you see the coverage about the twisters in Virginia? Pepper, are you ok? I thought of you!

Bopsmom---fantastic name! I am so excited for you and this new turn in your life. Congrats on the holiday trip! The last two years, BF and I went down to WDW just because of the holiday decor and special programming. You're going to love it! Of course we'll help you wherever we can!

Hi again Pikester! So glad to see you again!

magsnden, I think I found out what happened and it really saddened me to the core. Apparently, there's a lot of post watching, PM reading, and even some sort of score-sheet of bad behaviour going on. I say tread lightly for a while. I can't stand the idea of what has happened and I don't want to lose anyone else!

Miss you dreamin!

 

[magsnden]

you're right, magikitty and everyone who has warned me to be careful.
i promise to be good, at least discreet.

it really is very sad. i know i'll miss dreamin in pa, they better let her back.

Great Cupcakes

I tried to reply to a message she sent on friday but couldn't

Sorry to see her go- still
Dreamin' you have my address- drop a line and I'll send my other emails for you.


I'll be in the new garden for the rest of the week so I won't be checking in too much. I came up with a name for my venture-one I have used for years for my invitations and cards.
Holly-Daze Designs
BTW-I need more info on going to WDW at Christmas-see 2nd ticker-I'll be there with DH, DD, and DM for the holidays (or Holly-Daze) this year and will need help planning.

I LOVE it! Holly-Daze Designs! You are SO creative! I'm sure you will be very successful.

I emailed dreamin' (thanks Disney54us) and hopefully she'll respond so I'll at least have a clue what's going on. Since the only place I ever post is here, and my blog, I would hope I don't have to worry about being banned. But hey, ya never know.

Master Gardners, huh? Not me! I have 2 black thumbs!!

pepperw23 I'm glad you are safe.
Bopsmom that was too close!

 

[magsnden]

are we all protesting by not chatting too much today?

excellent! if only it would help...

 

[D&DDisney]

Hi,
Checking in late today.
Did some research and found the "bannished" and saw that some of them truly lived up to their name. Some, who attacked myself and others on previous threads, were reinstated. What's up with that???:
Doesn't make sense. Dreamin' didn't do 1/8th of the stuff they did and she's gone. Go figure. On their "other board" the bannished use some...let's just say... not so nice language too. Boggles the mind why they would be tossed, doesn't it?

Did you read about Webmaster Bob who passed away. Web Alex posted about it. That's so sad.

Keep checking in killers so I know you are safe.

You are very welcome!!! I look forward to getting to know you. You are right you will like it here. It is kinda like "home" in that crazy world we call DIS...no pun intended....Dis....world...DISNEY WORLD...okay you will get used to me. It is from the long crazy days spent with Beaker....uggg don't ask ha ha.

Miss you dreamin!

Awwww, thanks for thinking of me Magikitty. Yep I'm okay!!! We did not get a lot of the really bad stuff here. My friend at work lives in Suffolk and she got really really lucky...it hit all the neighborhoods around hers but completely skipped hers.

you're right, magikitty and everyone who has warned me to be careful.
i promise to be good, at least discreet.

it really is very sad. i know i'll miss dreamin in pa, they better let her back.

I miss Dreamin' terrible too. I feel like I have lost one of our "family". And now who are we all going to count on for our "late night chats??" Our little night owl.

pepperw23 I'm glad you are safe.
Bopsmom that was too close!

Thank You!!! It is really really rare for Va to get anything that serious. Hurricanes we can handle...crazy funnels of wind...not so much.

It is sad about Bob. I listen to the POD Cast while jogging, now it is going to make me sad to listen to it.

 

[MagiKitty]

Hi again friends.

I think the stuff that's been going on here has gotten into my head unconsciously. I'm afraid, isn't that silly? I'm not a mean person (usually, anyway) but I hesitate to reply to posts, and when I do, I carefully censor it hoping that it won't be misinterpreted and come off as snarky.

I'm also saddened that by reading around the boards, its seems that people have just moved on and forgotten about the "incident".

Been a really quiet day in general, a little chilly, and I'm back to bundling up. Doesn't seem fair, somehow, considering we're welcoming May in a day or two.

 

[magsnden]

pepper - i spoke to dreamin through email, and she wanted me to make sure you were ok with the weather going on. she says she is thinking about you and hoping you're safe.

magikitty - i totally feel the same way about how people seemed to have moved on and forgot about everything. i NEED to know what we can do, though i'm not sure she'd come back now even if they let her. i was going to ask about when you got your tag, but it seems like i'd be (as i said it myself) just moving on. sorry.

i'm going to check with dreamin if it's ok if i share her email address with you guys. i'm sure she won't mind...do i trust enough to put it in a pm? i'm really not sure. so so sad.

 

[M&N]

I'm here. Cannot stay on long right now. I'm hoping to hear from my Mom about my realtives in Suffolk. Mom could not get them last night after we heard. We talked to a cousin who works for the city and she got home ok. I have an aunt and cousin who live about 2 miles from the hospital that was right near the damage. It is so scarey.

I guess I am stuck on the unfairness of stuff. Isn't a pm private? How can others read those? Anyway, anyone can come to the DIS and read what's written here even if they do not post so read between those lines. We cannot let this stop our thread. I, myself, am not going out there and try to keep a thread alive. I guess I'm just hanging out with friends. I'm not really moving on. I will not forget we lost a friend here. I just don't know what can be done.

I cannot remember what else I was going to say except I'm glad we have such talented TKers. I don't need green thumbs or such when I have experts here. Thanks you all!

 

[M&N]

Magsnden...I would not pm. I emailed by clicking on the name. Like I said, people can come and read these posts even if they are not logged on...

 

[lighttech]

Just stopping in to try and keep up w/ what news I can.

M&N - I feel totally ignorant... w/ DSs birthday party, I haven't been here, or on any website, or watched the news in days. I don't know what happened. I'm assuming some sort of natural disaster. I really hope your family is alright. Prayers your way!

 

[whgrn]

pepper, so glad you and yours are safe! I saw the pix on TV and it's just awful. M&N I hope you are able to make contact and that your folks are also safe. Maybe just phone service is out? You're all in my prayers.

Had a nice email from dreamin'--explains alot. Just makes me sad.

I got a call today from my mom. My favorite aunt, who had colon cancer years ago and beat it, and was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer last year, had a colostomy in November due to a bowel obstruction but has been doing well, is dying. She was great last week and Saturday, has gone downhill since then, and the past 24 hours has just slipped away. Hospice is in there now and she will likely not last the night. I went as soon as I heard--just packed up the kids, cancelled our plans for the evening, and took off. Thankfully BFF was able to keep the kids for me. I haven't seen my aunt in quite awhile. It was a shock. She looked like a 90 year old skeleton. You could hear the death rattle. My cousins and my uncle are beside themselves. I think my uncle has just realized in the last 24-48 hours that she is not going to make it. I know she was trying hard to hold on another 6 months--2 cousins are pregnant and expecting in October and November. It's just so sad. I am expecting a call any minute, just waiting. And since I'm having surgery Thursday, I won't be able to be at the funeral, which stinks. My DSis, who lives in Turkey, is just devestated. Obviously, she won't be able to be there either. I told my uncle and cousins that we'd both be there in spirit. My aunt was always the coolest person, so sweet, and always so supportive. We did WW together and always cheered each other on. She got such a kick out of the fact that, after the colostomy, they put her on appetite stimulants becuase she couldn't eat. It seemed so ironic. I can't believe I actually said goodbye to her for the last time. And all I could think of was, what if that was my Mom instead. I don't know how I'd handle it. And yet I know the day will come, sooner rather than later. Hopefully not cancer, more likely her heart, but whatever it is, it will happen.

Sorry, I guess I'm just rambling here. So sad. No one should have to die like this. DS says he wants to give his money to cure cancer so other people won't die. So sweet. I guess cancer is my biggest fear. Because most things are fast, but that can be so slow. So hard to watch.

OK, enough from me. Thanks for letting me vent. You all are the greatest. You too dreamin', I know you're out there.

 

[M&N]

WHGRN::hug: I'm here. Thankfully, you got to say goodbye and have many warm memories of her. Keep those thoughts near. Today marks 18 years since I had my dad and it just seems like yesterday. He had cancer for the 3rd time. Not the same kind though.

My cousin in Suffolk has cancer with treatments every week, She's younger than me. She has to go to a different place because cannot get ot where she usually goes because of the tornado. One of my aunts in NC was able to get through to an aunt and they had no damage to their house. I knew they were several miles from where I saw damage on tv. Thanks for the prayers.

It is just so hard to stay positive at times like this.

 

[magsnden]

real quick checking in before bed.

m&n - please let us know when you've heard from your relatives in VA. i will keep praying for the best - the phones are probably out, you're right whgrn. again, tell us when you've made contact with them.

whgrn - oh, how horrible to have to go through that, and for you and your family. it's so tough, and you're so right, it is just about the worst way to have to go. sometimes it's so long, and so so hard on everyone around her. please know i will be praying for her, and all of your family. a hug from me.
