Deb & Venetia......remember that we are all here for you as the anniversaries get closer. We love you and will be your shoulder to cry on when needed and help boost you up as needed as well.

Thanks Monica

There's enough of us that if DCL goes to Alaska, Gaylean and Jon will "tag along", as count Shannon and I in on that group that wants to go!

I know if enough of us go, she will have to go with us. Just think of all the fun they would miss out on.

I remember gas being stolen back in the 1970's during the days of gas rationing.

Just this past weekend I found myself wondering whether that would start up again here.

Funny you should say so. Bubba was just saying he wondered that if you were a driver of a gas tanker truck, would you arm yourself.? I did see a new report about how someone stole from a gas stations underground tank by pulling a trailer over the fill hole and through a hole in the trailer, siphoned out the gas. All while hidden inside the trailer.

Holly, way back on page 5 you asked for pics of the cakes Shannon made for her nephews' birthdays this past weekend.

Well here they are:

This one is for Myles who was turning 16:

The trucks on the cake had their "engines" light up.

And this one was for Garrett who turned 9 and loves playing football:


This is my Dnephew16 after he got dunked in the horse trough by his dad and I:


It was a pretty good day of friends, family, bbq's, water balloon fights, bocce, croquet and good laughs.

Oh cool! Thanks for posting those, Ken. Great cakes! One of my co-workers saw them too, as she popped into my cubicle while the pics were up on my screen, so she sends her compliments to Shannon too.

I have been voting, but missed the original connection. Ian, is this a friend?

Jackie & Deb - sorry for your pet loss. We still miss our Kimba (cat) that died last year. It is so hard.

Holly, good luck with the appointment today.

Wow, those are some cakes! I wish I was talented like Shannon.

I know there was more going on that I'd like to comment on but have to run to work.

I did think of ONE good thing that the cruise is over. It actually is much easier to keep up with our thread!

Let me know if you get a dibber one!!!

I've seen Dibber & EMC, but what does that mean?

 

[HollyTyler]

Did I tell you that we will have hearing for the dog (lab dog) soon? As we had been waiting over one year as it take up 18 months to waiting. I think around Autumn that we will get a dog.

Scottishwee35

Great news on your dog!

Re: 4th of July

We are heading up to Tahoe, staying at Old Greenwood. www.oldgreenwood.com

They have a great party at the pool, with carnival games. We will spend one day rafting through the Truckee river.

 

[HollyTyler]

I can just see you and Sukie giving the birds a withering stare and flapping your arms around over there in Chicago!!!

I'm cracking up at that visual!

 

[HollyTyler]

NOPE!!! I just know that YOU know we are all interested in Tyler's well being so you will keep us all in the loop.

As for the pill.....who knows what it will be like....hopefully it'll be small. Remind him that we're all thinking about him

You know I was just teasing. I'll let him know you're thinking about him! Oh....by the way, the Mickey fire badge is on his firefighter uniform now.

We got an offer on the house yesterday that we accepted with just a couple of minor changes in our counter offer that do not involve money, so they likely will accept it. WOO HOO!!! Now the troubles....we would have to be out of the house in 3 1/2 weeks and one of those weeks we are traveling to MT and ID. Oh my!! Time to get those closets cleaned out and packed up I think! So, that means I can retire in 5 weeks and 2 days!!!

I like yellow with black & white

Now that's an idea.

I've seen Dibber & EMC, but what does that mean?

Well, the Dibb is a uk Disney board I am a member at and where I heard about the oceangram. EMC is an Aussie site - nothing to do with Disney, not sure what it is actually. Because the 2 sites were always on those oceangrams, they started answering each other. Now some of the EMC folk are on the Dibb thread about the oceangram and it has got quite chummy. They are also talking about the Dibb on the EMC board.

Woohoo. We can all come and help you clear out if you like. Kelly and Cherie have been practicing.

Angie, I would have thought you would have been a little bit excited about the news!!!

 

[MrsMork]

Woohoo. We can all come and help you clear out if you like. Kelly and Cherie have been practicing.

By all means! Any strong backs or experienced packers that can be here July 18-21 just come on up. I provide the pizza and beer! (or ice tea for some of us!)

Way to go Angie and Dennis. Retirement in 5 weeks and 2 days is a great motivator for getting those closets clean and packed.

This is a dumb question: why do you want to merge the layers? What's the advantage to doing it (or disadvantage to not doing it)? TIA!!

It helps to clean up the layers palette so it isn't so bulky or filled and you forget which layer is which, you can also combine layers for various effects and to ensure special effects are applied equally and without overlap.


BTW, the facilitator in me says: The only dumb question is the one not asked.

Neat cakes! Is the dunking a tradition for milestone birthdays?

Nope. His dad just made a joking comment about grabbing him and dunking him in the horse trough and he decided to challenge us by saying that "2 fat old men couldn't catch him". So we caught him and dunked him.

His brother ended up getting dunked too.

This is something I tell all my new hires.

"No such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid mistake".

Oh my gosh, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, those are great cakes!!! I could never do that. Ken, I don't know if you knew this or not, but Shannona and your beautiful daughters gave me a head dressing and wrist things for tropical night! I loved them and Meghan used the wrist ones - I was looking at pictures last night and remembered how sweet they were. I loved it!!

Yeah we found a great price on them and took all the good stock the store had before the cruise and gave them out on the ship. They were the best ones we had seen in any of the stores. Most of the ones we had seen were a dull colour whereas those were nice and bright.
