WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt6

[HollyTyler]

Vanessa is off to Italy for fall break. Just a short plane ride for them....nice to live in Europe!!

We really miss Vanessa....it has been hard to adjust getting use to her being gone.

Frank is so TOTALLY all better!! He is travelling and having the time of his life. I guess near death experiences change your perspective a little.

My mom is the same....GRUMPY. I am taking her to South Carolina next weekend so she can spend 3 months with my brother. The next weekend I am going back to SC for my nieces wedding!! (Mount Pleasant). Soon there after, we go on the Magic!!

Mom has lived with us now for 18 months....and a break will be very nice.

I'm so glad Frank is all better! Wow, that's quite a change from where he was not so long ago. Amazing!

It's good you'll be getting a long break from mom. You definitely deserve it and really need it.

Is Vanessa still planning on coming back to the U.S. to work over the summer?

I have been reading the thread about what the Magic is going to do for 2010. Have there been any talks of plans for this group??

If the Magic goes to Oslo, we can see Vanessa!!!

 

[disneylover5]

Holly, Have you had any good jewelry parties lately?

 

[disneylover5]

Has anyone heard from John and how his brother is?

We're talking... the change in dates has some wondering when to go...

Has anyone heard from John and how his brother is?

Last we heard was his dad had had a fall and was in the same place his brother is in. I do believe his brother is progressing pretty well...

Did you miss that those are EMTIES????? But you can show up next weekend and help add to that collection! Gaylean sticks to sour grapes or that stuff that tastes like rubbing alcohol, so you can sip the good stuff with V and I. Speakin of which......Where are you my little Ho Ho?????

I'm here. It so funny because I couldn't remember what page I was on and this was the one I clicked on. I guess I need to go back a few pages. Unless someone is nice enough to update me.......Holly

 

[gaylean93]

Not sure where your little Ho Ho is tonight... I suspect off secretly listening to Mylie Cyrus Cd's...

But your entire Entemenns cheesecake...(that's me...or at least my hips are...) is going to go to sleep and try to get warm....

Will keep you in mind next week...

(Did you notice the Blue Agave smiley^????)

Night Bubba...

Love to Veneita!

I had a totally crazy night and I don't think it would appropriate to talk about on here. Now I have you all wondering

 

[gaylean93]

Good morning all!

Last night I had a WW staff meeting from 7 PM to 10 PM and I'll be leaving the house shortly to go lead 2 meetings where I'm subbing.

My WW boss told me that she would be coming to do observation at my Sunday meetings very soon (we never know when it's going to happen).

One good thing about having meetings on Sunday mornings is that it is the least attractive time for observation, though I really welcome it, because the feedback always helps me to make the meetings and the process better.

With all this running around this weekend for WW, I hope I lose some weight.

My friend convinced me to join again so we will start next week. If anyone has any great recipes please send them my way. I could never had made it as long as I did last time without the one point chili. It fills me up and I eat it for breakfast

 

[gaylean93]

We're off to see the Disers......da dum da dum da da

Because Because Because.......Because of the wonderful friends they are.

I'm sooooooooooo excited! I'm about to head out the door and go get my hugs from Lisa and Darrell and Monica. Then we'll take on Epcot and all the food and wine.......should be a great day.......pictures to follow.

I'm soooo jealous. We have been hearing about this for so long I feel sad that we can't join.

 

[disneylover5]

You know all we need is V to check in with the Florida score!!!

Florida lost to Ole Miss....I am sure V is in mourning.....or drinking herself silly!!

With USC losing on Thursday, Florida had a chance to be #1 in the nation...not happening now!!

 

[disneylover5]

We're talking... the change in dates has some wondering when to go...

Tell me what anyone is thinking......I wasn't going to go again until the new ships!! Maybe I will change my mind

 

[disneylover5]

Last we heard was his dad had had a fall and was in the same place his brother is in. I do believe his brother is progressing pretty well...

He has his hands really full...I know he wanted to look for a new job too...

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Yes, we bought a condo but they never built it, so we asked for our money back and they gave it to us....I guess we were lucky considering the market right now.

Daniel rented a brand new apartment, which was not ready when school started, so he lived at the Comfort Inn for 3 weeks. He is now all settled in at his apartment.

We are so excited for our cruise...double dip western.....There are about 60 of our friends going for Thanksgiving week!! Thanksgiving day is a day at sea.

I am glad to get a good report for Daniel. You have every right to be proud of him, he is fantastic. I am so happy that you are getting to go with so many friends on the Thanksgiving Cruise. I will be thinking of you.

I sure hope you guys can give me some advice. Yesterday, my daughter (10 years old) was playing at the neighbor's house. She and the neighbor girl are close to the same age, and sometimes play together very well, sometimes they fight.

Well, yesterday my daughter comes home crying. She said that the friend was running down the hall of her house and bumped into her little sister and the little sister started crying. The mom jumped up and called the friend a "b" word, (that is what my daughter said), and proceeded to hit her twice strong enough to knock her head on the wall behind her.

The mom told my daughter to go home. She ran home, and cried for quite a while. She was worried that the mom would crack the girls head open or hurt her. And she was a bit traumatized by the whole thing. She wanted me to call Child services and report it. I did not see what happened. Although, this is not the first time that my daughter has seen hitting in their house.

She was upset for over half an hour, crying and yelling, because it made her so mad. I didn't know what to say. I didn't witness anything and I don't think that child services would pay much attention to a 10 year old. But, I did tell her to discuss it with her counselor at school, I thought she needs to discuss this with a professional as it was disturbing to her.

I don't want to start a war with my neighbor. She has been good to me and helped me with my daughter after my husband died and I believe is, basically, a good person. I believe that she just went over the edge and snapped. The other occurrences were not quite like this one. I never seen her hit her kids or use bad words around them.

I would like to think that she really feels bad about it and would never do something like this again, because she has always been so good to the kids. Taking them out to do fun things, throwing big birthday parties, and generally spoiling them. I just don't know how to proceed.

I guess I am just looking to people that I know can be objective and that I trust to have good sense for some advice. Thanks for listening....

I'm not sure if this helps but I had a friend when I was little that use to get beat all the time. I never told my mom. Her parents would beat her for touching her own face because they put her in modeling and they thought she would scratch it or something. About a year after I thought I should tell she was hospitalized for the beatings and almost died. My parents were surprised to find out because the family seemed really good. But on the other hand I told my mom that my grandma hit me in the face once when really she only hit me on the leg. I can't remember why I did this but I know that my mom really has an issue with hitting kid's faces so maybe that's why. I was 12 so almost the same age as your daughter. I know kids exaggerate. I'm sorry you are going through this

Hi Deborah. We are having problems here too. I hope we all make it through without losing our jobs

 

[gaylean93]

Many families dress in a theme. We were Ratatouille last year (linguine & Collette), our friends were the entire cast of Star Wars and our other friends were all POC3. This year we will be the Robinsons from Meet the Robinsons.

That sounds fun. It's too bad I didn't think about it earlier because Jon's mom is making Ethan's costume. He will be a storm trooper. I know Jon would have loved to dress in Star Wars but she'll never have time now.

 

[disneylover5]

Tammy, You have found yourself in the middle of a very difficult situation.

Last year while at the bus stop, the little girl (then 12 years old) across the street told me her step father was beating her and showed me her bruises. Who knows where the brusies came from?? She asked me to call child protection services so she did not end up dead.

Well, I decided to go to school and talk to her counselor and let her handle it from there. Not sure what ever happened, but the little girl is in 8th grade now....

But, my children were not involved in my situation....so you have a harder decision to make.

 

[disneylover5]

I am glad to get a good report for Daniel. You have every right to be proud of him, he is fantastic. I am so happy that you are getting to go with so many friends on the Thanksgiving Cruise. I will be thinking of you.

It doesn't hurt that Daniel is in love with his accounting teacher!! She is a first year grad student....he says she is a great teacher!!

He says he is going to contact you when he needs help!! You were so nice to him and he will never forget that!!

I usually stay out of this stuff, but i cant this time. Hitting is NEVER NEVER aceptable. If you dont at least say something to somebody of authority, you will feel terrible if and when something worse happens to this girl! Iwas always the one who stepped up when I wittnessed bullying in school,and even out in public a couple of times. The only "fights" I have ever been in were the result of protecting someone I didnt even know, and I NEVER hit anyone first!. I absolutly cannot stand violence of any kind upon another being, this includes animals!!! CALL SOMEONE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!As is the popular saying on these boards....this is JMHO!!!

Now I know why you and you V never had any kids

 

[gaylean93]

Hi Lisa. I'm jealous of your up coming cruise.
