WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 10

[Tink rules]

ok so I do know you live ALL the Way across the county. In fact at the complete other end.

That's why it's so darned hard to get to your house...

 

[Tink rules]

I love drunk Venetia

We all do.. just as long as she's not driving...

and with that... have fun... I'm off to bed...

Well you are always welcome, when ever you can get here.

We all do.. just as long as she's not driving...

Good night Michelle. I think we will wait until Marilyn get up.

Nan Bubba says this is just for you

Lisa, that story was very touching!

Loved all the photos of the get together yesterday. Looked FUN!!! The pink Champagne looked red. I wish we were all there with you.

You guys are not going to believe what happened to me. I'm still freaked out by it. I got up this morning for maybe an hour at the most, I think from around 8-9am, then went back to bed. I had set my alarm for noon, thinking I'd just have a nap and then do my grocery shopping and cleaning, etc. before picking Tyler up. Next thing I knew, I heard somebody ringing my doorbell and pounding on the door! I got up, looked out the window and saw Tyler's dad's truck. It was pitch dark, so I thought it was the middle of the night and couldn't figure out why his dad was there, so I thought something had happened to Tyler. I threw open the door and asked "What's wrong? What happened?" His dad looked at me very strangely and asked me if I was OK. I told him, "Well, yeah, I was sleeping though, so what's going on?" I was so disoriented and confused. He told me "You were supposed to pick Tyler up AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO." I just stared at him and told him I just went to bed, and thought it was the middle of the night. He asked me "Are you sure you're OK?" I told him I thought so, but was just very confused. He didn't bring Tyler with him because he was concerned when I didn't answer the phone. He tried to call me 7 times and left 3 messaged. He didn't want to bring Tyler in case something had happened to me. He asked if I was able to come get him or if I wanted him to go get him. I asked if he could because I was really shaken and confused. He told me Tyler was worried too because he knows I pick him up before dinner, while it's still dark.

I'm going to bed soon because I'm so tired, I will have no problem sleeping until morning, but I'm sort of afraid to go to sleep again. My alarm clock has an automatic snooze and it goes off every three minutes for an hour, and I NEVER heard it!

My dad told me I'm probably just overtired and my body was just forcing me to rest. But I've been napping on my lunch hour at work, and last Sunday I napped on and off most of the day, and people at work have been asking me if I'm OK because they say I look very tired and have bloodshot eyes. What could it be? Why would I be so tired? I don't think it would be my meds because I've been taking them for about 6 months, so side effects would have happened long ago, right? The Dr. increased my dose on one med a bit, but that was 2 months ago, so I would have seen side effects, if any, quite a while ago, right?

My mom told me I should call the doctor and have some bloodwork done, but I feel silly going to the doctor because of oversleeping.

Go to the doctor Holly. You have been tired and sleeping far too much for a young woman and it needs looking into. It could be the meds as Kaylee suggested.

Venetia just said......."This is the BEST night EVER!"............imagine that!

Oh Marilyn !!!! Where are you? Gaylean says you better not be havin' a lie in!

That is not a lie in by anybody's standard!!!!! Actually I did lie in - 8am!

 

[scottishwee35]

Ok now on to the rest....

Gaylean finding out about the bottomless Mimosa's and Bloody Mary's

Food Porn

Now on to the good stuff

Hi

I enjoyed see all the photos of you all and look like you all had a good times...

I spot one bottle of wine behind Korbel which Alison and I had been tasting on the Disney Cruise, we enjoyed that pink/rose wines and shame that we never find it in Scotland....

Ian, I hope you feel better soon.

I hope the new job at work will be better for you. You need to get rid of some of that stress.

hear hear

I've had my thyroid checked often because of how quickly I gain and lose weight, but that always checks out fine. I'm definitely going to call on Monday because it just really shook me up. I'm usually a light sleeper. I just emailed Tyler's dad and apologized for the whole mess and told him I'm grateful he came to check and see what was going on.

GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!

YES, YOU SHOULD GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR OVERSLEEPING! you don't realize it, (but we do because we can see from your DISposts) that you have been badly over stressed lately. I will admit, you are handling it WONDERFULLY, but it can ( it sounds like it HAS) catch up with you. You need some relaxation time...some "down" time. You are such a wonderful mother, and advocate for Tyler, AND you work full time AND you try to keep up a social life (VERY IMPORTANT) and you are trying to deal with your migraines.....

When you add it all up......you need some rest, girl! AND perhaps your hormones or thyroid is out of whack.....

Go to the doctor...it can't hurt!Love ya lots.....Connie

Holly, Please listen them and go to doctor as something not right as you keep saying you had the nap and sleep lot, that worry me...

 

[scottishwee35]

I told my good friend Lisa about Olivia.

Lisa asked me why the church didn't informed me about it, I never thought of that... She was asking did church made the report?

So church is opening today for service then I am going up to find out about it.

Something still not right....

Lisa said don't keep Olivia away and take her to club and don't let the girl win and don't want church think we have the problem?

Holly, I would tend to agree with your mother. A trip to your doctor might be a good idea, if for nothing else, just to prove that you're overtired and needed some rest.

Bubba - How do I put this? Er... umm... you seem to be very attached to that pink wig. Perhaps a little too attached.

Happy Sunday All!

I am up and am going to leave to lead my 3 WW meetings in about 20 minutes.

I still feel pretty crappy. Yesterday, rather uncharacteristically, I took to my bed. After shopping I had very little energy, and was not in the mood for television. The sound just grated on me.

Sukie yelled at me in the middle of the afternoon because I had started to work on the 2009/2010 update for Mouse Manager.

The unfortunate part about my WW work is that I'm standing from 6:30 AM to 1:00 PM. I never sit down. Plus, I have to do a lot of talking. Not good with a sore throat.

Sukie and I had a bit of a disagreement over it last night. He felt that I should not go to work and I should stay home and rest. However, I am responsible for getting my own substitute leader to take over my meetings if I am sick or on vacation. At 6PM on a Saturday night, it was just too late to get a sub for early Sunday morning.

I guess I just have to make it through this morning.

I am in need of a little advice. As you all might know by now, I have a vacation planning and program called Mouse Manager, that works for both DVC and non-DVC owners.

I now have about 1,400 registered users. Mouse Manager is free. My premise has always been that contributions to supporting it financially would be voluntary.

And people have supported it. The web hosting company costs for the associated web site with dining menus and reviews, was paid for by the donations.

But to be honest, out of the 1,400 registered users, about 5 have help out financially.

I am now facing a financial dilemma.

The software that Mouse Manager is built with has just released an update, one which I could really use. The update costs, $299. I am now out of contributed funds that I use to pay the web host. The web costs come to about $200 a year.

I would like to start working on version 2.0 for Mouse Manager and include often requested features for expanded vacation planning, cruise vacation planning and other features.

I would really want to build it using the latest version of the software.

For me to keep going would require at least $500, and perhaps I'm being ornery, but what with Sukie's medical bills, I don't feel like paying it out of my pocket.

So, what I'm wondering is, whether I should send out an email to the 1,400 registered users with a request to contribute to support the continuation of Mouse Manager? Not a threat, just an honest plea for support.

I have not to date, over the 18 months that Mouse Manager has been available made such a plea, but I don't see how it can go on without it. I'm also rather uncomfortable doing it, because it comes down to the equivalent of sitting on the street and begging. So, I am torn between financial reality and pride.

I'm looking for some input, which as always is greatly appreciated.

When she could barely stand Saturday morning, that was that. She was officially suffering. We couldn't let it happen. We drove her to the vet's office (bringing along a tennis ball, of course) and stopped at AstroBurger for her last supper; she wolfed down a cheesburger in 4.2 seconds in the back of the car. Even to the bitter end, she couldn't turn down AstroBurger. Upon reaching the veterinary clinic, we carried her inside in her little dog bed, almost like how they use those stretchers for injured football players, then we waited in a little room that smelled like stale pee. We laid down next to her. She licked our faces with her smelly breath and we didn't care. It was like she knew.

And then something crazy happened.

The Dooze fought through the pain, rose to her feet, grabbed the ball, rolled it over to us, took a few wobbly steps backward and dusted off the "Come on, throw it to me" face. We tossed her a few from short range, then a few more. She caught every one of them. This was her last hurrah. She tired quickly and laid down again ... and that was that. The doctor came in a few minutes later and euthanized her, with that same ball resting right next to her mouth. We had her cremated with it. We just thought it seemed fitting. When the time seems right, we're heading to the beach and spreading those ashes in the Pacific Ocean. So much for our first dog. We didn't even have her for six full years. She belongs to the West Coast, and because of her, maybe so do we.

I sobbed last night reading this and I'm crying again this morning. This is the story of my dog Gandalf.

We waited until we moved into our house before we got our first dog. He was perfect, loving, protecting, playful, sweet and obediant. His favorite toy was his buddy ball. He invented the game of golf around the house. He took a bone toy and would hold it in his mouth like a club and wack the ball and chase it and wack it again. He also played with tires.....we called them his big toy. He would roll one down the hill in our front yard and run down chasing it. Then he would put it around his neck and carry it up the hill and start over. He loved inventing his own games to play.

In July of 2006 Gandalf was diagnosed with a degenerative spinal disease. The vet started him on steroids and gave us another six weeks with him. He was only six years old. On Sept 2nd we celebrated his 7th birthday and everyone brought him some frozen steak. He downed each piece. He was in his glory. We didn't know how we would know when his time was up. But he let us know and two days later we had to put him to sleep. We had him creamated and buried his ashes with his buddy ball in our front yard.

John and I could not stop crying from missing Gandalf so we decided to get another dog. Angel is the complete opposite of Gandlaf. Where he was everything good, she is all bad. Where he listened, she does not. Where Gandalf liked to invent games to play, Angel only chases the cat. Gandalf loved his buddy ball the most, Angel doesn't play with that kind of ball at all.

It's been two and a half years and we have another dog and a cat. But we will never have another Gandalf. He was perfect. He was our favorite dog ever for both me and John. We still miss him so much and always will.

Venetia just said......."This is the BEST night EVER!"............imagine that!

Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It's like we were right there with you. So glad you had such a good time.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Holly, definitely go to the doctor and get some blood work done.

Ian, hope you feel better and I would send the email to all the mouse manager participants. I would be very specific in the note and let them know that it's going to be used for administrative costs only....not that they think you're making a profit off of it when you are not. I'm sure you'll get lots of positive responses.

Is it possible you cold post something on the Mouse Manager home page first? I belong to another message board and once or twice they have had to do that when their server fees were increasing. They used paypal to collect the donations. Everyone was very supportive, afterall we get a great site that someone else is doing all the work on - a few dollar donation seemed the least we could do.

 

[HollyTyler]

Someone took away his wig

I loved ALL the pictures! But I just have to tell you, as I was looking at this one, Tyler saw it and was CRACKING UP! I showed him the wig ones, and told him what this picture says above it. Then he said, "Oh boo hoo hoo, somebody took poor old Bubba's wig!" And was just cracking up over it!

 

[lillygator]

is it possible to feel worse? I am so stuffed up............I just want to be able to BREATHE!

 

[HollyTyler]

Nan Bubba says this is just for you

Tyler said the first one is scary, and the second one is "even more scarier!"

 

[HollyTyler]

Bubba - How do I put this? Er... umm... you seem to be very attached to that pink wig. Perhaps a little too attached.
