We have dysfunctional weather. :laughing: An international student just came into my office this morning and asked if our weather is always this crazy. She's been in the states since August and she said our winter was the strangest she has ever been through.
 
Anyone remember that old game? Anyway, we are sitting in the family waiting room, waiting for news on Justin's surgery. I had to write, figure you all would appreciate this. Seems there were many Disney connections today, although hardly coincidental being a Children's Hospital.

Started early this morning while waiting to be admitted to surgery. Being a Children's Hospital, there always kids videos on the TV on the wall. They put an older VHS tape in the machine (most of the time it's Shrek) and this time, it's a Disney tape. It started with the old commercial of the two little brothers packing to go to WDW, with the older brother telling the little one all about it. Brought back many memories of when Justin was a little tyke. Next comes the first preview for a soon to be released video. Within the first few frames of the preview, I guessed that the tape was going to be the Lion King. Nancy looks at me like I've got two heads and figures I must be obsessed.:lmao:

So we get good news in an update that all was going well, he should be out of surgery by 2:00 or so and we head on over to a restaurant for some lunch. Plastered on the wall behind the register are all kinds of foreign currencies for display (people come from all over the world for this hospital) and sure enough, smack in the middle of the wall is a Disney Dollar with Mickey prominently displayed. Sounds like the Pixie Dust is at work!

By the way, did I mention that he's doing great!:banana: :banana: :banana:

Will update later; I forgot to pack the power cord for the laptop and the battery is running low. TGIF everyone!

My wife would say it's a sign from God, and have her bags packed before I had a chance to make reservations.

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed Gatordads better half, I first saw her post a few days ago and I thought maybe I had missed the introductions...lol

She's on a tight leash. But at least she has her own id.... so when I say something stupid, people don't think it's her.

I've got chills! I am so glad it went well! I have been thinking of Justin all day!:goodvibes
 
Do you guys have fire ants in Va? My dad got bit by some down here and had a severe allergic reaction. Just a thought.

Gatordad's Better Half

Welcome to the boards!!!! You should start a thread so you can be welcomed properly!

Oh, and YES! We do have fire ants in VA! Nasty little suckers! They got my legs once when I was gardening~Oh, that was awful!
 
We've had a pretty mild winter here on Long Island also. It's been warm here as well this week. Everyone seems to be getting an early start on Spring/summer. Kids want to wear shorts...and the patio and deck furniture is coming back out. I say the same thing..If this is global warming...I'm ALL for it!
;)

I am loving this!!!!!!!! I live wonderfully close to the Jefferson National Forest, so I spent the morning there with the baby, walking around the large pond. LOTS of people out fishing today. Then I met my DH in Downtown Blacksburg, where I walked around more, we grabbed some lunch at this new Ethiopian restaurant and ate it out by the Farmer's Market. I am in a skirt, tank top and flip flops......just soaking in the sunshine!!!!:goodvibes
 
They got them back,but different. before the otter incident, she was 5'9", now she is a little shorter than that. At least they matched her skin tone.

:rolleyes:

Yeah, it's real hard to match my skin tone since it's the color of milk.


5'9! Wow!!! Just think how thin I'd be if I were all stretched out.:goodvibes
