Sorry you folks are having to deal with all the weather and plumbing issues.
We will lift you folks up as you continue dealing with all the issues at hand.

OK, here we go again. Mom is really down except this time it is not really about her cancer (she is doing fairly well with this round of chemo so far). My 1st cousin (her nephew) has been in the hospital for several weeks. He is only 50, but he has COPD and got double pneumonia. The doctors are not giving my aunt much hope and things do not look very good. Anyway, Mom is taking it really hard and I am not too far behind her.

Plus all the snow we have been having here lately is getting to all of us. Don't know how some of y'all handle all this mess. We were only supposed to get about an inch Friday and we ended up with 7. We are possibly going to get a little more tomorrow (Sunday) and then some more on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Our area of Texas is not supposed to be going thru this. As my son says. . . . give us a break!!! Mmmmmm, I guess those of you that have been getting more of this than us feel the same. And to top it all off we had a water line under the house break today! DH did not like getting that phone call from me today. Thanks for letting me have this little weather vent. I try to remember that just a month ago I was in the Caribbean. Seems like forever!

Oh my goodness. So much sadness. I am so sorry for your cousin. He is so young to be going through this. COPD has affected a few of my friends, it is a debilitating disease. We will be praying for your cousin.

And I am so sorry you have had to experience the weather woes. I went through it for many many years and I know of what you speak. I hope it gets warmer for you soon!

My cousin went to see my sister yesterday. He was sad in that the disease has affected her brain so much. My sister was a pharmacist for most of her life, a very intelligent woman. It will be so difficult for me to see her. But also it will be good for her in that apparently she is talking about things from 40 years ago, old friends and such. My cousin came into our lives about 15 years ago and of course her daughter does not know what she is talking about, but I will. I think I will drive up there next week when all has settled both here and hopefully there. He said that he does not see any way she will be able to take care of herself. More than likely a nursing home. And the doctors still do not know what is wrong with her, what caused the lesions/abscesses.

I saw this on another forum so I decided to "borrow" the idea.

Ok, so you are at work, doing chores, etc. You have a 20 minute break and a magical mickey ears that when you put them on will whisk you anywhere in Disneyworld you want to go but for only 20 mins. after wards you have to get back to work...

Where are do you get whisked to?


I'm sitting outside on a bench in Liberty tavern square. Between the Hall of presidents, the Liberty Belle paddle boat and Haunted mansion, I love the buildings. throw in a dole whip and this is one happy camper.

 

[Dizny Dad]

. . . . . .Where are do you get whisked to. . . .

The VWL Hot Tub . . .I have a towel in my office.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

20 minutes.....hmmmm....I think I might hop on the resort boat launch and take a loop!

With my luck, I'd get whisked to a 25 minute line at Splash Mountain!

I think I'd spend my 20 minutes on Main Street USA, people watching and maybe taking in some street entertainment. And of course, I'd have one of those Dole Whips too.

 

[Anna114]

20 minutes..... hop the boat and get some Main Street popcorn.

I am whisked to the entrance of the Haunted Mansion, after which I go in and ride the attraction. One of these days, I'll bring my death certificate and join them on a permanent basis.

Tough call, but I think I'd be sitting on the beach at VWL, drink in hand, in the fading light if not downright darkness. . .and soaking in the sounds, smells, and sights.

 

[DiznyDi]

Let's see... sitting in the rockers by the inglenook having just come in from the hot tub

 

[horselover]

Beach at the Poly just in time for Wishes with Lapu Lapu in hand. In 47 days I will be in exactly that spot!

 

[blossomz]

19 days to go!!

Hi groupies!

I am so excited that we are going to spend two weeks at the Wilderness Lodge in a studio this summer (after a week at BCV). I was wondering if it was possible to request a pool view of the main pool?

Welcome to our group!!

You cant see the main pool from the villas area, but you can see the quiet pool from a few rooms a the villas. For me, being at the villas means you are sorta out of the loop of the hustle and bustle of the main lodge area, but close enough when you need it. Dont get me wrong, the lodge is magnificent, but the villas are peaceful in an elegant way. Have fun!!

Whisked away...me, I would be happy at MK bakery enjoying a slab of chocolate cake, or plaza enjoying some ice cream all while watching folks pass by, Tammy and I agree sitting by the fire in the comfy leather chairs with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa would do the trick.

 

[Dizny Dad]

Sitting in a parking lot in Hamilton, Ontario reading where all wish to be whisked away to; it makes the parking lot seem just a little warmer.

Thanks to all for the thoughts that warm! 
