Welcome to the Ya Ya Riverboat

[Meriweather]

No, Mingo stayed home and played with Sunny, Buddy and Ribbett....oh and Jay, who didn't feel like going I forgot to take Lily and Wally to play....but there are enough playmates here now that they didn't mind.

I sacrifice myself for candy everyday Gotta love the after holiday sales.

 

[helenabear]

Jay didn't feel like going?? What a poop he is I just thought Mingo and Desia would've looked cute together!

Oh and I tried to play on Imagestaion today, Nancy... I totally appreciate all you did to get those pics up now! Slow as dirt that place is!

Eating too much candy... I think I need it to go away

 

[Meriweather]

I think Desia had all she could do to walk and carry her bag
Jay had a toothache More like he had no costume. We offered him Mrs. Potts

I don't usually have a problem with imagestation....today, twice. Some error message kept popping up.

 

[helenabear]

Jay as Mrs Potts?
Now if he did that, that would be a picture I would love to see!

I haven't ever had this much trouble viewing an album on imagestation (especially from a link from a friend)... hoepfully when I try tomorrow I can

 

[Meriweather]

It was a costume we had

I think they are having a problem today....but at least the siggies are showing.

Want some candy? I have about 10 bags

 

[helenabear]

Still... I like the thought if you could've gotten him to agree to wearing it

Of course I could've also offered my Princess costume, or better yet, Jasmine

Um... no need here.. plenty left over!

I think I am going to curl up in bed with my sweetie for the night... and try this knitting thing some more

 

[Meriweather]

Good night.
I still need to finish taking down decorations and putting up new ones....but I got the cookies done. And Dave packed.

 

[helenabear]

I'm gone too...

I forgot HOUSE IS ON!!!

Hey gang,

Nancy you are right this is not how I wanted a hookey day!! But alas, I must go in tomorrow. I have tutoring in the afternoon and it is too hard to rearrange the buses for my kids Oh well, I'll survive.

I was going to upload the halloween pictures, but Imagestation (as you all already know) is being extremely slow. So I'm going to bed now.

Have a good evening all.

Oh and JRKaren...we just talk about the forbiddend things when you are not around!! We figure you are too busy to go back and read all the boring stuff !!!

Nancy has bags and bags of candy left!!?? Oh my. I think I've had too much.

Tara, sure hope you feel better. It is going around here too. Boss was out sick today. I'm glad I was in class. No cross germing I hope.

Nancy, Thanksgiving decorations??? Why, I think I will just skip over to Christmas. All the stuff has been out in the stores here for several weeks.

Elaine, I can't believe I have missed every episode of House this year. Sigh.

Paula, so sorry about Chris and his situation. Glad that it is only ISS. Whew.

Hey All.

Just checking in real quick before the laptop battery dies.

Things are about the same here. Been working at the feeding program at the church as my office still has no power or water. New expected time that our power will be up is December 6th. According to our power company our area was one of the worst hit. Had more damage to the house today when a bad storm came through with 60 to 70 mph winds. It ripped off two of our metal awnings putting a hole in one the size of someones head! Called the electrician but it will be awhile before he can get to us. Now that we can get gas a tiny bit easier we will start using the generator sparingly so we can do laundry and give the kids a little bit of normalcy. They are still not back to school yet. Supposed to go back monday but thats not for sure as many many many of us are still without power and there are few working traffic lights. Water here is still undrinkable as the a lot of our lift stations arent working. As dh said todays he is just a little bit sick of living like Daniel Boon LOL!! This is an adventure for sure one I hope never repeats itself.

Well gotta scooter before I lose this post.

HUGS TO ALL!!

Not "left".....just went and bought today. Gotta love half price.

Yep....Thanksgiving decorations. They are up....not as many as usual since no one will be here this year, but enough.
No Christmas decorations here until Dec. 1

Morning!

Great pics, John & Nancy!!

Congrats to Lily on becoming a Mod!

to all!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Ted is on his way and I will see him in 14 days.

 

[Poohnatic]

Morning, all.

Rough day yesterday-long, still dealing with various dramas. I called Liz at one point and kept saying "I love my big family", hoping that if I said it enough, I'd believe it.

Upshot is that the greedy sister complained that no one offered to buy her a plane ticket, another sister called greedy's daughter to straighten her mom out. Greedy's daughter called me to get the whole story. That's over now. I need to send flowers to my niece for cutting the crap with her mom.

Brother flew down, and is grumpy that he's here. Oy.

I think I'd much rather be with my yaya family...

Lily sneated. Congrats on your 'promotion!', Lily. You've got a great board over there!

Morning all... very foggy here!!!

Awww Tara, sorry you are stuck going in. Playing hookey is always fun to do!

Lily, if you can, try to watch House next week. This season has been very funny! And Ted will be back before you know it!

Hang in there Karen!

Nancy, I forgot to say yesterday how odd it was when I found candy this weekend on sale for half off! I guess they counted on us having the candy long before

We skip TG decorations here and go straight for Christmas. Though those won't go up until after I get back from WDW... I don't want a tree toy up while we are gone. And it stays up into the New Year too so what's a week or so

Hi Sherry

Suzanne, sorry about the family... but there is a reason why we say we can pick our friends and not our family. Most of us might not pick our family

Not sure what I am going to do today. Cold and foggy out so I definitely won't go anywhere for a while if I can help it

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Hi Everyone....

I'm with Nancy - I'll be putting up Thanksgiving decorations today. We have Jeffrey's whole family over on Thanksgiving night.

Tara - hope you are feeling better today....hate colds!!
Elaine - sending you some sunshine
Suzanne - being an onlu child family politice confuse the heck out of me.....
Karen - hope you get to some normalcy soon.
Lily - we will all have to entertain you to make those 14 days go by fast.

Well - talked to Chris last night - he was very calm - very honest - even said that today he intended to apologize to the classroom teacher (substitute yesterday - big surprise) - unsure if he was able to go on the field trip today or not. No home punishment given - "the dad" just suggested that he apologize again.

Errands today.....

More later......

 

[Meriweather]

Suzanne....sorry family is making a difficult time even more so
Come visit the Yaya family anytime......I have a couple extra beds

Lily. That is a long time for Ted to be gone. Dave's longest trip was 3 weeks, but kids were little then and they kept me busy.
Dave is off also....but will be back late Friday night.

Not sure what I am doing today. 3 days with no real plans

Oh, candy was on sale earlier this week here also....but not all the other fun stuff. And it will go down more....if anything is left. But one trip at Halloween is enough for me.

You've been in my thoughts.

I only put up 2 Halloween decorations inside this year and black lights on the porch as well as the carved pumpkins. So I have little to pack back up! Have to go dig up my turkeys and horn 0'plenty.

PC got a Trojan virus and is in the process of being wiped out and everything reinstalled. That means another visit from my friendly tech support guy from UPS to get the shipping files uploaded and configured.

No one from the web hosting service has called to tell us what to correct to get the website up and running. I don't know how some companies stay in business with such lousy customer/tech service.

Elaine - it was very foggy here today, too. And it's cold again, so the heat just got turned back on.
