Well actually, I'm not writing the check for about a month. I'll put the balance on my Disney Visa Card and get the points, and then write a check to pay off the card. So I guess you'd say that putting the patio in will buy us dinner at WDW. Pretty smart, eh ?????

I figured I was hust tired from the virus but we'll see. The Dr.s office said they want to test just to be sure I don't need another transfusion right now I usually need someone to tell me to get checked because I've only had a very rapid drop once, so it just gradually happens so I don't notice. The last 2 units I got took 8 hours, not the way I want to spend a day. But at least I feel much better after. So let me just say yet again, Thanks for the blood to all who give.
Traci for you!! Get yourself better, we need you raring to go in a few weeks, got lots to do and see!!

I'm super unmotivated today, wanting this Friday to be over with. I have a lot to do this weekend but it just means I'm closer to my trip!!
So I printed up some CM appreciation cards this morning and laminated them up. I'm really going to try to be better about acknowledging the CMs and the great job they do. I want them to get some praise for making our vacation so magical.
Have a good rest of the morning, what's for lunch?

How's Friday going for everybody?

Thanks Ken!!!! Michelle too bad neither of us have one we could canoe over to see other....although we'd probably get blown away en route. I have a new cooke recipe I want to try but I have next to nothing in my fridge. Perhaps I could swim over to Publix? No seriously we aren't flooded, we must have good drainage over here. There is a tree outside that has been a rockin' and a rollin' all day and nite so we just moved our cars to be safe. I can't wait for this to be over and done with! (although I got sent home at 10:30am from work yesterday and we're closed today and I still get paid so I'm not complaining!!!)

Smart guy! "
Oooh, chocolate chip'll get me every time. Thanks.
Take two, they're small!
You know, mental abuse is about as bad as physical abuse and sometimes leaves more unseen scars. Nothing says "You're not worth my time" to a kid more than not bothering to show up for visitation. I hope the courts stop that nonsense and stop it fast. No child should have to be put through that. DW's ex had a lot of faults, but one thing he was good at was being sure he got the kids when he said he would. DW also helped him through a rough time by allowing him to pay less support for a while, but didn't mind it as much because he was actually pretty good to the kids.
I couldn't agree more. My ex was/is not exactly a nice guy, right before I divorced him he told the kids to get ready to go, that he was running down the road for 5 minutes and when he got back he would take them to their grandparents house. He left me with no car and was gone for 5 hours, my kids wouldn't take their coats off no matter how hard I tried to get them too, they were so convinced that he'd be right home. When he finally did stumble in 5 hours later he was three sheets to the wind. I refused to let it keep happening to my children and I'm going to make for darn sure it doesn't keep happening to Carter.

Thanks Sarah, I'll be ready, don't you worry
Hey, you being closer to your trip means I'm closer to my trip!
BTW Guess what Sarah?
WE"RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!
Sorry had to let that out.
Have a great lunch with your dad, enjoy his company and remember, it's ok for Daddy's girl to be a baby about missing him, k? As I've told you before, those of us who have or have had that kind of relationship with our family are the most blessed people in the world. I lost my dad when I was 22, but I had more love in that 22 years from my dad then a lot of people have in a lfetime!
Where'd you get the cards to print? I would love to do that.
To all of our dear ones here on JQ that are dealig with that old witch Fay!
Well, I had the blood drawn, so we'll see. Kinda funny, to see if I need blood they take it....
Can I ask for a tiny bit of we just found out that Hailey's financial aid and student loan will be held up untill Oct. 2. She starts at U.M.A. the first week of Sept. They said they may be able to give her an emergency loan for her books through the school so if you could keep your fingers crossed for that to come through, have you seen the price of college text books??? It's frightening!
On a very bright note, Carter took 2 steps from the couch to the coffee table!!! AND he has discovered his outdoor voice. Every time someone walks in the door he raises his little eyebrows and yells "AAAAAAHHHHHH" it's kinda like walking into Cheers.
So Bruce is, I think, the nicest guy in the world. I have always wanted a rabbit, since childhood. Well, we were looking into getting a Flemish Giant (25 or so pounds) but on mother's day weekend we found a Lion Head, it's a new breed of rabbit, that actually isn't even recognized yet. Well, she's super cute so we got her. Well, turns out I'm allergic to her. I'm not allergic to regular rabbits but she has two types of fur, normal bunny fur and what they refer to as wool. So, I've played with her, leash trained her, litter trained her and all but the more I'm around her the more sick I get. Bruce fell in love with her, we named her Madeline Mae, those were both of my grandmothers middle names. Bruce stops on his way home to pick her clover everyday, he gives her a slice of banana every night, he just dotes (sp?) on her and she is his favorite animal. I love Maddy too but can't spend time with her.
They have a Flemish Giant at the shelter where Hailey volunteers but there is no way we can afford another rabbit. He said last night that we can give Maddy to a good home and get the bunny that I'm not allergic too..... Of course I said no way. I can't believe how giving and special he is. Isn't it cool that every time I think about him I still get goosebumps after knowng him for 30 years?
Anyway, I think if I keep blabbing we will have to start a new thread so have a great one all!!

Hey all, just checking in to see what is happening. Looks like it is the same old silliness here.
I don't really know much new. The swelling in my spinal cord is worse then they expected this far after the last back surgery in late June so the doctor has started me doing some physical therapy in the water again. I do enjoy getting in the water but the workout has really zapped my energy and pushed the pain levels up again so I have been pretty much going to therapy and then home to lay down. Oh well, it's just all part of the process.
Did anyone see the article that says if children grow up with pets they are more likely to be snorers as adults? The article didn't really say if the pet had to be in the house or not but I find it rather hard to believe that there could be much of a connection. Supposedly this conclusion was printed recently in a British medical journal of some kind. My other question for the people who did this study is why would you ever even think to study such a link in the first place? It almost sounds to me as if they were looking for there to be a connection.
Talk to you all later!

We shall see.
Have a safe and wonderful trip. Hey, it's Disney, what's a little rain???

But any-who, I try not to get too peeved about it, life is too short and if we have to eat mac-n-cheese because it's cheap then at least we're together and have food on the table.
I remember all too well. My ex could go to Europe but didn't have the $$ for his kids.
He gave up his rights in 95 and they haven't seen him since 94 and I've lost a lot of $$ but hey it's not worth the pain and stress. It does get better....

Have you ever thought of coming down for Mardi Gras? Kinda wild. Summer is just too hot. We could pass you around to all the intercotees even slide over to the beach by Jamie and Rob.
Yorkies make great apt dogs.
I have my two older kids going up to NYC in a couple weeks. My DS's old college roommate is marrying a girl from CT. So of course they have to go to Manhattan for a day. Wish I was going...

Your Dads attitude will go along way towards recovery. Encourage him all you can.
He does frustrate me. I know Parkinson's is a horrible disease but he often succumbs to the symptoms He hasn't even tried to feed himself and when I asked him why he said b/c his head wasn't elevated enough. He gives up too easily and it frustrates me b/c I'm selfish and want him to keep fighting.
Patti and I designed the patio together. We have so much fun doing things together.
do you have a twin...

My ex was in hosp admin. so we spent many nights in the hosp with Hurricanes. Not as much fun as it sounds. Stay safe and dry. I don't have a canoe but my dd made a boat out of cardboard during orientation... They even won the race but it has already sunk once... I can send the plans.. with duct tape anything is possible!
So I made it through orientation w/ my dd. Purina fed us lunch and Hill's Science Diet catered the reception after the ceremony. My other two took off of work and it was a nice family affair. We took a tour of the facility which was very interesting. I took a lot of pics. They have one of the best small animal cancer units in the country... it's amazing.
Rachel's year will be a "Mike the Tiger" (LSU's mascot) year. The vet teams that work on the Bengal mix are only teams from even #'d years which is her year. Honestly I don't like the idea of my dd working with the tiger.
Side note... When at the orientation I met families from all over the country as there are only 28 vet schools in the US. There was 1 student from CT. and her mother was raising a ruckus b/c she didn't want her dd staying in a state w/ such unbearable heat. Hello the building has a/c??? Sad thing was we were having a very mild day as it was only 85, sticky and humid but not the usual heat. Who acts like that???
Speaking of Tigers... only 15 days til the start of LSU football.... where are Scott and Diane???
Sending to all... I tried to post yesterday but AIM froze and I rebooted and lost my post..
Just breezed through...

Don't these guys realize that its the kids they are hurting, and not the "ex"?
Well I'm off to the grocery store. We finally convinced the in-laws to eat dinners out this time. Who wants to cook on vacation? So we just need some breakfast and lunch foods, some snacks, and of course some rum! See ya!

Sounds like a good lunch. Kibble or canned food?

Hi, folks, it's been a busy day, although good busy -- picnic and playground with the girls. Only two more days of summer for me... school starts on Monday. I know, I know... I'm lucky to have time off in the summer and am thankful for it, but boy is it hard to go back. My goal this year is simple: to slow down. Our lives get so hectic during the school year and that raises my stress level so quickly. Know what I mean?

Well if they are using stats it's quite possible that they might miss the one a year your going to be allowed to get. I always ask my hubbie if he's sure he wants to use that up on whatever it is we are talking about. He normally then realizes it's likely in his best interest to change his mind.

I know that children who grow up with pets are more likely to get grounded for breaking things they didn't break.

Catch your thumb under the seat of your lawnmower. You'll forget your arms and legs are sore. Speaking of which, I got a new mower yesterday. Brought it home, started it up, drove it off the trailer. Today, it stalled whenever I tried to put it into gear. I called Craftsman and got (the second time) a very knowledgeable woman who told me to readjust the seat forward so the kill switch under the seat didn't get a false signal. I'd have certainly never come up with that on my own. Two thumbs up for the Sears call center.

Fay is still drenching us and I am very leery of the tree in the front yard. Had to spend the night at the hospital last nite because we are on the trauma alert team! DH is mad because I was with all of the residents...young, rich and cute!!!
Hope everyone is well...does anyone have a canoe for me???
I hope Fay passes, sorry - no canoe I can offer you either.
Has your husband been watching too much Grey's Anatomy?

Very smart! And you even got a Canadianism in there too,eh?!

Keep good thoughts for the flight and the weather, don't like flying too much. But hey it's only 2.5 hours and we are there. We have changed our plans a little due to the remaining rain bands for tomorrow, not going to the Water Park but off to Downtown Disney. Will try and do the Water Park on Thursday instead. We shall see.
Everyone behave themselves okay? And I'll check in when I return. Stay safe too, okay? I'll think of you all tomorrow.
Have a great trip!

I don't really know much new. The swelling in my spinal cord is worse then they expected this far after the last back surgery in late June so the doctor has started me doing some physical therapy in the water again. I do enjoy getting in the water but the workout has really zapped my energy and pushed the pain levels up again so I have been pretty much going to therapy and then home to lay down. Oh well, it's just all part of the process.
I hope the back feels better soon!

5 guys, never heard of them
Congrats on the new mower & the awesome customer service from Sears!
That is interesting about the kill switch underneath the seat causing a false signal. I wrote the other day that I had to take the van in due to a dash light - similar thing. Apparently with our van (Honda Odyssey) if there is anything in the passenger seat over 10lbs while you are driving and the item shifts, the van thinks there may be a kid crawling around and de-activates the airbag so it won't inflate and hit the kit. The crazy thing is that the only way to reset/override the signal is to take it to the dealership and have them reset it. One dealership wanted $95 and the other wanted $50. Oh well, had to pay to get it reset, and now I know - no more cases of water on the front seat, or, it could have been the baby diaper bag - those creatures do not travel light!
I guess I had better go do some dinner prep - Benjie is still napping from the water park, he's been down for 3 hours!!!
