Welcome to the Ya Ya Club Med!!!

[Poohnatic]

Evening, yayas!

It's definite-surgery the first week of November. It'll get rid of the pain, but doc thinks the swollen ankle is the result of the deep vein vascular degeneration-tech speak for he can't do anything for it. Apparently, there is a doctor in Hawaii who can, but it's got a 40% success rate. As long as I'm not in pain, I'll live with a swollen ankle.

I got a nice nap this afternoon after all that running around I had to do. The bummer will be trying to go to bed at a decent hour-Ed let me sleep for 3 hours!

That charity event is in the MK. IASW is closed, not that I'd ride it over and over. I'd ride El Rio Del Tiempo, but it'd be better if I knew the blasted words...we always walk around going 'la la lala lala laaaa, la la lala lala laaa" Dumbo is a choice, but I think I'd rather do something else. I have to go to the website to find out what rides are going to be open.

Everyone with tooth woes, I can relate. Although, the white fillings don't last as long, I have had no problems with them. The almalgam in one tooth disintegrated and that's what started all those trips to the dental school. It got infected, root canal and crown.

Ed and I walked through the mall today after lunch, since we can't bring Neil to the mall anymore (too much stimuli). Found a new scent I like at Bath and Body Works, hope Ed remembers for Christmas! Then we drooled over the goodies at the kitchen store and tried to buy more Moshis, but Kirklands didn't have any in the colors we wanted. Finally went to see the Hallmark ornaments, and got my Herbie.(Beth, there are some cool Star Trek ornaments this year.)

Dinner was boring, we grilled burgers and hot dogs. I never realized how helpful the microwave can be-couldn't reheat yesterday's veggies! I didn't think to defrost any of the yummy stuff in the freezer for tonight's dinner. Which reminds me to do that as soon as I get off the computer.

Had ketchups in mind, but can't think anymore. Guess I'm a little foggy from that nap!

Hey, I have a quick question for Elaine (or anyone else who knows). This is my first time travelling with a digital camera. Can the memory cards go through the x-ray machines?

Karen

 

[helenabear]

No reason why *honest* just not in a chatty mood tonight. So imagine me in the corner listening and reading a good book.

Anywho, before I sign off... Karen, I have only done carry on with my digital camera and other such stuff... but in all my travels with digital cameras, they have never been bothered by those x-ray machines. I would imagine they might be fine in checked baggage, but honestly I wouldn't dream of putting them there in the first place (fear losing pics). The only thing I have ever heard with digital (and seen myself) is once in a blue moon a pixel will freeze after going through a machine. I am talking about one single little pixel on the LCD screen on the camera. It was hardly noticable. ANd I've only seen it happen once.

Back to my book...

 

[Poohnatic]

JRKaren,

I've flown about 6 or 7 times with the digital and haven't had a problem with the media becoming corrupted. You should be fine.

Suzanne

 

[TLinden16]

Thanks Elaine and Suzanne! I just didn't know if I should have it hand checked or not. Oh, and Elaine, I wouldn't dream of checking my camera, either. I'll definitely be carrying it with me.

Karen

 

[Meriweather]

Feel better Sherry.

Good luck with the surgery, Suzanne.

Have fun reading, Elaine

Good night, everyone.

 

[TLinden16]

Why do I have a sore throat the day before my vacation? I feel a bit congested, but I think it may be allergies and not a cold (at least I hope it's allergies and not a cold). Ugh.

Morning!

JRKaren, hope your not getting sick.

Sooo glad that the Sox won!!

Sorry your Astros lost, Deena.

 

[helenabear]

Morning all! Still not terribly chatty today... probably too tired or something. Who knows

Nancy, sorry about the doctor and the smell. Hope it's totally gone by now.

Deena, sorry about the Astros
But I am happy the Sox won!!

Sherry, feeling any better today?

Suzanne, good luck with the surgery. I do hope it helps. Sounds like a nice afternoon at the mall! Have fun deciding which ride to go on!

Karen, I didn't think you'd check your camera, but I have about 4 CF cards in my posession so I didn't know if you thought about checking those ever. Normally for me, I already have a CD back up as well as pics loaded on my computer by the time I get on the plane I hope you feel better.

See y'all later

Morning Ya Yas!

Suzanne, goodluck with the surgery. A trip to Hawaii? Not for 40%. Sorry about that. Perhaps some day The stats will greatly improve.
So, a new scent at BB&B? What is the new scent you found you like? I don't know what I like. I go there and want them all.

Hearing your tooth story makes me concerned. I think I am getting closer to a refill need.

Deena, sorry about the Astros.
I am glad the Sox won too. It is nice to see a different team in there for a change. Sorry Kimmar.

JRKaren, I hope it is just allergies. That would make it easier cuz you could take an allergybegone potion. Dinner sounded yummy last night.

Pearls of wisdom about your camera. Make sure you download your pics and check that they are there before you erase you memory cards. DH lost some really great memories by erasing after he though that he downloaded properly.

Which brings me to a question.
Who is our resident camera/computer geek?
Those pics DH lost can be viewed as thumbnails. It is just that there is nothing in the folder when trying to open the pic. Is there a way to salvage any of the pic by grabbing the thumbnail somehow? I don't know where to look for that info.

Everyone's talk of food makes me hungry.

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning.

I'm going to be a mall rat today

Elaine is the resident camera geek, I do believe

Have a good trip, JRKaren and hope those allergies go away.

How are you feeling today, Sherry.

Is Liz on her way (or in Las Vegas) now?

See ya all later.

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Stuffy head to go with the grey weather. Grumble, grumble........REALLY want that comforter and my bed today!!! Sigh.......

JRKaren, hope we BOTH are having allergy issues!! Might be a good idea to make up some screwdrivers--OJ for the vitamin C and alcohol to kill any bad germies!!

Sherry is down with something, too?! sounds like we need to file a complaint with that Get Well Fairy--she's falling down on the job!! Hope you are feeling better today, Sher!

Nancy, hope you were able to get the house aired out. Hate it when you can't seem to locate the source of those strange odors!!

Suzanne, sending out prayers and PD for your upcoming surgery. Hope it solves the problems you've been having! Glad you had a good time at the mall yesterday, too! And thanks for the head up on the ST ornaments. Must get those checked out!!

Sorry about the ball game, Deena. But, at least your team has another chance! I'm just glad the Yankees are out of it!!

Laine, not too terribly chatty, huh? Makes me think of the Chatty Cathy dolls from way back--somebody broke your pull-string? for ya, just becuz!!

Hey Pam!! Hey Tara!! Hey Lily!! Hey John!! Hey Tina! Hey Todd & Amanda!! Hey Alan!! Hey Kimmie!! Hey Kimmar!!

Isn't Rose Mary supposed to be back home now?! Hey RM!!! Hope you can relax a little and enjoy sleeping on your own pillow after all this time on the road!! Been missing you!!

Missing our Liz and original Karen and Kristy, too......... for you ladies!! Hope RL lets up and gives you time to visit with us again soon!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Hey Beth! I don't have the cooties yet, but you could fix me one of those "health beverages" so I could be on a prevention program.


I was thinking of our MIAs too. Hope to hear from everyone soon.

 

[TLinden16]

Did you know that if you burn your tongue eating beef stew one night, and eat an over-salted wavy lays potato chip the next morning, your tongue will burn? Just thought I'd share.

Beth, I like the screwdriver idea. Maybe I'll actually have to drink at my bar tomorrow night.

Thanks for the feel better wishes. Someone I work with told me I look horrible today. What a friend

Thanks for the advice on the digital camera, folks. I am bringing my lap top with me, but I keep on getting error messages on the software that came with my camera on the laptop (it's fine on the desktop, though). I'll probably remove and reinstall the software tonight. I can still transfer pictures, and view them, but I get error messages. I'll probably download them on to a CD at Disney as well, just as a precaution.

[helenabear]

Gee thanks Nancy, rat me out why don't you?

Lily, what way do you download to your computer? I only use a card reader myself and don't mess with camera/software stuff that they give when you buy the camera.

Sorry about your team, Kimmar. I hate to admit to you which I was rooting for

LOL, Beth... I don't think it is broke, I just think I wasn't happy with the cold rainy weather. Made me wanna kind of hide away in a warm corner somehwere.

Karen, I would save yourself a headache and just get a card reader. They can be bought for about $20 or so. Much easier and more reliable way to work with pictures

 

[Poohnatic]

Morning yayas!

I'm back for a moment...very happy for the Sox. Guess it's the Mets fan in me.

Lily, have you tried right clicking the thumbnail. That's worked in the past for me when it went kerflooey. I'd suggest getting a card reader-I got a compact flash one from Walmart for 15 bucks a few years back. Now the all in one has the card reader, too.

Bath and Body has all these really nice new scents. Tutti Dolce is all the sweet ones, they smell like yummy foods. The new scent I like is black rasperry vanilla. It's a good thing I didn't go back to work at BBW when I moved down here (I was very part time), otherwise I'd owe them money each week instead of getting a check. It'd be the same at williams sonoma, too.

Anyhow, hugs and hellos all around. Bethie, your checkbook will not be safe at Hallmark, trust me. I have about a dozen disney ornaments to go back and get, but I think a star trek and star wars ornament will somehow get onto the tree, too. The enterprise and millenium falcon need some company!

Camera downloading:
I plug in my card into my "reader" (in my case the card is a Sony Memory Stick) then the "Magic Window" comes up and asks me what program I want to use to open. I close that.
I then go to the computer either explorer or my computer and look for the drive that has my pics.
THEN, I copy them to the place on my computer that I want them to be.
It works for me and I don't use any software to get them into my computer.
Is this what you meant Elaine about not using camera software?

JRKaren, ouch. Thanks for your "pearls of wisdom." Sounds like your "treatment" for tomorrow is ideal!

Elaine, I am sending a pm re: my camera ? I don't want to "bore" everyone else here to tears.

Edit: Suzanne, I don't remember if I tried the right click thing. Will try that too. Thanks.
