VWL Lovers & Groupies thread: It all started with a Moose

[DiznyDi]

Thin crust?! No, not me. I like it thick, bread-y and dough-y! Yummmmm
Chicago deep dish is my favorite though is pretty difficult to find in Ohio.

 

[DaveH]

Muushka and Dizny Dad we have everyone in our prayers.

As for countdowns we have 107 days to AKV and 109 until our back to back cruises.

 

[Muushka]

Thank you all for your kind words. Groupies are THE BEST.

It bears repeating.

So sorry to hear this news both of you. Add me to the list of those praying for you and your individual friends' families.







Ooh, ooh - me. BUT PLEASE don't lump me in with that Chicago-crowd assumption either... just like Granny, Inkmahm and Muushka - I absolutely LOVE thin crust. It's my favorite. Always has been. I enjoy regular crust types, but actually don't eat the crust itself...so... I absolutely won't even eat thick crust or pan pizza. Way too much bread for my liking. The thinner the better, really.





Thanks all. Just had to share.

I have a milestone year coming up this October. It's fascinating trying to listen to the various conversations around the house that seem to stop whenever I show up, round a corner or am otherwise noticed. Don't know what they're up to - or (hopefully) planning... but it's fun to try and guess. My WISH of course would be to head south or west to a Disney destination... but alas, going in September with my DD - and again in December both solo and with the family... me thinks that's not really an option. But... you never know, now do you?

Ohhhhh. I love milestones! How exciting! Fingers crossed!!

Muushka and Dizny Dad we have everyone in our prayers.

Thanks Dave.

Are you doing B2B DCL cruises? Like 2 in a row??? Do share!!!

Hey folks, you are the ones I turn too when a group prayer is in need.

Tammys SIL is in induced labor as I write. Her BP is way off the chart, protein is way low. She is a few weeks early, and Tammys brother is in England with the Air Force. Tammy is staying with the other two little ones at their home in Raleigh. Can I ask for prayer from you folks that all goes well, all are fine and above all, for Gods will through it all?

Me and kids are heading down soon this evening to help out where possible. We are only family in area, and their friends are scattered.

So I will say TIA!!

Jimmy

Prayers going up right now Jimmy. Hope everyone is ok.

The final check-in before we leave crack of dawn tomorrow!!!! And when I say crack of dawn I really mean it. We have to leave our house at 3:45 a.m.! But I keep telling myself it will get me to the World that much sooner & we'll have the whole day. At this time tomorrow I could potentially be drinking a Grand Marnier Slush & stolling the WS! We have a dinner ressie at Le Cellier & I forsee Cheddar Cheese soup in my immediate future. Can you tell haven't eaten dinner yet?

Be well my groupie friends. I'll try to check in, especially if I can sneak over to our home for a quick visit.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

On another note (I'm sending you a PM Stopher!) my waitlist for BWV came through yesterday for our Oct. trip! Kat4Disney that makes it that much easier for us to meet up for those slushes!

Since we can each walk home maybe we'll have to have two!

And have a great trip!!! 3:45 am would have me yawning on most days except when headed to WDW!!

Thin crust?! No, not me. I like it thick, bread-y and dough-y! Yummmmm

And I was about to post that not only do we all love the lodge but we all seem to love our thin crust pizza!!! Guess I can't say that now.

Prayers and good thoughts for your family jimmytammy.

Absolutely you can count on us for prayers. And that's great that Tammy and you guys are coming to the SIL's aid. Prayers are awesome but actions such as those are also quite special.

 

[cheer4bison]

Hey JT, will definitely keep your SIL in our prayers!

Prayers for your SIL that everything will be all right.

 

[wildernessDad]

If it's good pizza and I'm at Epcot, then that is enough for me.

Absolutely! Prayed earlier when I first read this, and then again now.


Now it's my turn Groupies.

DW just told me that her dad is in the hospital tonight with a fractured vertbrae in a LOT of pain - so please, if you think of it, pray for him for his comfort level and the doctors as they plan their course of action. He's nearly 80, so it's a bit trickier than if he were half that, even though anything back related is never super easy. Please also pray for her, as she's a bit of a mess right now since we are 2200 miles away and she can't just go on over and sit with him in his room, or hold his hand, or any of that. Just for her peace of mind really. It's no fun watching them get older. It's even less fun being so far away when they need something - or someone.

Apparently he'd called her brother yesterday morning, and he wasn't able to show up until evening to help. My BIL found him sitting in his chair, where he'd been sitting for 7+ hrs unable to move. BIL couldn't move him either. Offered to call the paramedics but that was refused. His pride. Control issues. BIL tried to help him up - he screamed, and then fell to the floor. BIL again offered to call. Again - NO. BIL said okay, lay there til morning, but if you can't get up then...paramedics would be called. So this moring, sure enough, he couldn't move so BIL called the paramedics. Was taken to emergency, then had a CT Scan and had to wait. And wait. And wait. Finally this evening (our time) we got the call that he'd been transferred to a regular hospital (for his insurance), and would be there at least overnight if not longer til they can figure out their next steps. Lives alone. Can't take care of himself right now - so the doctor said no, you can't go home.

We will keep them in our prayers. I hope someone remember to tell the Red Cross so maybe the Air Force could get him home on emergency leave. Have a safe trip.

We will keep your DW's dad and you all in our prayers. My mom was that way. She never forgave us for putting her in an assisted living place. It was nice and she was too proud to admit it was better for her. She gave my sister grief until she past. I don't live too close to them. Good luck.

Of course! Prayers for a healthy new family member to arrive soon!

 

[DaveH]

Are you doing B2B DCL cruises? Like 2 in a row??? Do share!!!

Yes we are doing a 4 day follow by a 3 day DCL cruise in Nov. My understanding is at the end of the 4 day we have to go through customs and then go back and check in and board the ship before every one else who are not doing B2B in the terminal. DW's birthday is during the first cruise.

Wow, when it rains, it pours. I feel bad thinking of him on the floor all night in pain and I'm not a relative! Your wife must feel horrible that she wasn't there to help. Prayers for all of you are on their way.

Prayers being sent upward for your FIL, your DW and your entire family as you deal with this. My folks are near his age and we have to become like the parents at times to remind them to do as they need to stay well. I pray that God eases his pain and guides the caregivers hands with His in giving the proper care that he needs at this time.

Update on Tammys SIL

First, let me say what an honor it is to call you friends. So many I still dont know yet you always come through in the hour of need. At this time, I can only offer that I pray that God pour upon you His richest blessings!

Tammys SIL is still in induced labor. Contractions started coming slowly about 7pm, some she felt, some she didnt. Tammys brother is actually in Korea(Im just a guyconfused is right)They will be going to England after his 1 yr. stint in Korea. Dave, he asked Red Cross about what you mentioned, for some reason, military shut that down. So he cant come home. I forgot to mention, at this point, baby will be 1 mos. premature. Upside is little ones are handling Tammy being there though the oldest, 3, keeps asking where Mommy is.

 

[Granny]

Stopher...prayers and best wishes to your wife, FIL and family as they go through this challenging time.

Jimmy...thank you for the update. We look forward to hearing very good news about mother and baby soon. And I'm sure that Tammy being right there with the children is a special blessing for all concerned.

 

[jimmytammy]

Good morning all!

Update

Baby girl, Tessa, was born at 4:51am. She was a little over 5 lbs. Her sugar is low(not sure what that means) and they are monitoring her for that. Natalies BP is still high.

Thanks again for all your prayers as well as your continued prayers and support.
