Just Questions: Extreme Resort Makeover.

[Dsnygirl]

so the people i stalk can't give a good description to the police

soooooo, pogo where in rochester do you live? , i actually grew up in chili. graduated high school from gates-chili. i have my nursing degree from the university of rochester. my parents still live there.

ok i am off to bed. see blythe i'm still awake at 9:45am. it was for disney- of course i could have stayed awake.

How come I never knew that?

I should've thought of that...

Actually, I live in Gates. Wouldn't it be funny if your parents were my neighbors ????

Which side?? (you guys are scaring me... )

Could I ask you all for a little pixie dust? I just got a call from Dan's aunt -- she's on her way down to Texas b/c her son is in the ICU w/ severe pancreatitis and is not doing well. Her other son is on her way to the airport to fly down w/ her, which makes me doubly nervous, as they're not ones to do that type of thing unless advised to by the dr. We aren't super close to Dan's cousin in Texas, but used to be somewhat, and of course, growing up, the kids were, well, kids and friends. So -- if you could spare a bit of the magic for him -- his name is Ed -- he's young (36) and has two small boys who, although he's divorced from their mom, come and stay with him every weekend and quite often during the week. Thanks....

Okay -- gotta run -- more packing...

How much do you need ???

This much is all I have and I'll throw in a few prayers to.

Who's Richard Sherman?

OMG, are you kidding me??? Richard Sherman and his brother were only two of the most influential songwriters for all of Disney. They wrote all the music for Mary Poppins and many Disney attractions, most noteable The Carosel of Progress.

Aren't you the thrifty shopper ! Don't you love getting a deal ?????

It's one of the best things about our trips! I love the planning and getting those last minute good deals! That was quite a shock though, quite a difference in price!!

Sarah, I'm so sorry this is all "ganging up on you" at once... and no, you're not a baby at all!! You're very lucky to have such a close relationship w/ your dad, and it's actually a blessing for you that his leaving brings tears, not many folks have that. So, just take all this as a sign of how much you and your dad love each other, what a good doggy-mommy you are and what good love and care you give your family, your fur-babies included.

Thanks for your support!! I'm supposed to have lunch with dad on Friday again, I'll probably just cry through most of it. I know it will make him feel guilty which I don't want to do, I just can't pretend that this doesn't hurt me.

Absolutely on the way for Dan's Aunt and the whole family!!

So last night went so much better. We put Scooter in the crate at midnight and she actually let me sleep until 5:00, it was really nice. Unfortunately Daisy has figured out how to use the door. I don't have any worries that Daisy will leave the yard, but she doesn't need to be anywhere near the door. So we're spraying her with water anytime she gets anywhere near the door now. Geez, could all these animals just get with the program???

Other than that things are good. We're having a big staff meeting this lunch hour, so should be able to get some things out on the table. Hope you all are having a fabulous day

[drummerboy]

I've once again done my part to show that lawyers aren't always bloodsuckers (may get some asterisks on that one). I gave my 27th pint today. Even got some pizza and a free T-shirt this time as a bonus.

Can you beilieve it's almost Friday already?

[trackbarroness]

That I can, and can you believe Fay is taking her sweet ole' time to cross Florida? Still getting a lot of rain and wind here. My Mom aka PirateGal and I were at the Golden Corral and the lights flichered they were off long enough to be noticable. Both thought for sure the power was going to go out. Right now there's a Flash flood warning in effect until 8:37 tonight. I know, I know I've been doing rather well losing weight so why that place? Because we wanted to eat there?

[Kisobel]

good morning campers(oh wait that was last thread). ok redo- good morning remodelers.

So... you are admitting you're stalking me and you want me to tell you how to find me ??? Silly girl !

Actually, I live in Gates. Wouldn't it be funny if your parents were my neighbors ????

yes it would be very funny. but i know my parents neighbors don't have a tiki bar. so i think you're safe.

[Dsnygirl]

Quick zoop -- we've decided to bolt, tomorrow's too nice a day on the coast to give up. Plus, we're unsure what will happen w/ Ed and hopefully, we won't be called home early. Thanks for all the prayers and pixie dust!! Be good, to all who need it and behave... and try not to finish the thread, my eyes won't be able to handle catching up!! I'll miss you all -- see you Monday evening! Love ya!!

(ooops... need a question... who wants us to bring back lobster??? )

[disneydeb]

WooHoo!



I had a very busy day. Tomorrow's Friday! That 's enough to get your motor going!

Prayers and massive anount of for Dan's cousin.


What happened to US softball?

[tinkerbellybutton]

so the people i stalk can't give a good description to the police

Screen cleaner please!

Traci, you have one of those positive attitudes that just amazes me... ... your family is very lucky to have such an upbeat, spirited person in their lives. Right now, I'm just letting some of your happiness rub off on me...

Thank you, that was a very nice comment... it means a lot to me if I make someones day just a tad brighter.

Wow -- we drive right by there on our way to Cooks Corner!! I can't believe that's where she was... talk about being out in the open!!! Wow!!

I know, it was astonishing to say the least.

Do you realize how much like Blythe you are ???? It is scary.

Why, thank you, I'll take that as a compliment. Uumm, except the scary part.

I don't advise violence unless it involves children, the elderly, or helpless animals. I think someone ought to show your "ex" a new way to use his airboat motor.

Thanks Marilyn, I needed that!

What if it involves a lack of questions?

Wow, you're good!

OH OH, I forgot the best part!

We're renting a car for our trip in a couple weeks and I wasn't able to get a very good deal this year because of the economy/gas prices, whatever. So I was just messing around on the computer this afternoon checking our flight prices, etc. and I went on Dollar's site and got us a rental car for the whole week for $85.00!! WOO HOO, I just saved us over $100 for the week!! Pretty cool huh? More Mickey merchandise for me!!

That's awesome, what a smart shopper you are!

I think the airboat motor should be pawned...

I agree, Ithink they should be able to take his toys, (ATV, the boat that he uses for fun instead of fishing etc) Oh well, That's ok, I'm sure I'm a much happier person than him so that's the best revenge there is right?

So.... is everything flushing okay??

Uum, hello, a little personal don't ya think?

Could I ask you all for a little pixie dust?

Sending tons your way!

I've once again done my part to show that lawyers aren't always bloodsuckers (may get some asterisks on that one). I gave my 27th pint today. Even got some pizza and a free T-shirt this time as a bonus.

Again, let me thank you. If not for blood donors there would have been several times that I wouldn't have made it, so a mere thank you is no where near enough........

That I can, and can you believe Fay is taking her sweet ole' time to cross Florida? Still getting a lot of rain and wind here. My Mom aka PirateGal and I were at the Golden Corral and the lights flichered they were off long enough to be noticable. Both thought for sure the power was going to go out.

Sending more to ride out the weather safely!

Well, did everyone's day go well? When I went to the shelter to pick Hailey up from volunteering I made the mistake of going in. We have 4 cats and a rabbit (all rescues except the rabbit) and a small home so we can't take anymore. I'm such a baby that I started blubbering like an idiot and had to leave. Theyhave over 230 cats right now.... I just want to bring all of the kitties and doggies home to stay.
Well, I guess I should go relax for a bit, it's been a very busy day. I hope everyone is doing well to all.

Oh, and Blythe, have a safe trip!

[tinkerbellybutton]

Oh, pogo, thanks. I was finally able to see the pics and it is wonderful!!!! Did I tell you Hailey looked at them with me?

[pogo]

yes it would be very funny. but i know my parents neighbors don't have a tiki bar. so i think you're safe.

ok i only wanted to take a nap today, because i don't have to work tonite. well my body had other ideas- and basically told my head to shut up and go back to sleep. what should i make for dinner?

OK..... what street do they live on ???

I'm thinking eggs and pancakes with real maple syrup !

(ooops... need a question... who wants us to bring back lobster??? )

Have fun and hug those two beautiful little ladies for me.

Have I got a deal for you ! If you bring back lobsters, I'll cook them for you and we can have another get together.

Oh, pogo, thanks. I was finally able to see the pics and it is wonderful!!!! Did I tell you Hailey looked at them with me?

I'm glad you could see them.... oh... and Hailey too !

[Kisobel]

OK..... what street do they live on ???

now who's stalking whom???? they live on cross bow drive.

ok i agreed to go into work tonite for overtime. what was i thinking????

kate

p.s. i know what i was thinking- more money for disney

[Marilyn Michetti]

Caroleh, you need to get some rest and get rid of that "bug"

My dolls are all sizes. The largest is a 32" Santa, and the smallest is a 6" pincushion. I DO pay to dress my dolls, so if you're serious, I'd just as soon pay you. The ones I'm working on now are 13 in. quintuplets. They're not all porcelain - they have cloth bodies from above the knees and elbows to the base of their heads. When DH gets home I'll send some pictures, (I don't know how to do that).

I've done almost 60 dolls, some of them antique reproductions, and look forward to showing them off.

Get well !

with any luck here are 6 of my dolls http://www.geocities.com/marilyn.michetti/?200820

Are these ok?

[Tink&Goofy]

I hope you have a better night... sorry I wasn't there to participate in the fun last night. Trust me, it would've been better than 5 hrs staring at the ceiling in my isolation room in the ER....

You should have used the time to catch some !

I've once again done my part to show that lawyers aren't always bloodsuckers (may get some asterisks on that one).

At least you give some back.

Quick zoop -- we've decided to bolt, tomorrow's too nice a day on the coast to give up. I'll miss you all -- see you Monday evening! Love ya!!

Have a great time!! We are heading the opposite direction early Saturday. Say hello to the Atlantic for me, and I'll say hi to the Pacific for you!!

now ok i agreed to go into work tonite for overtime. what was i thinking????

Well SOMEBODY's got to fill in while Blythe is off having a great time!

I'm taking tomorrow off to get ready for our trip - since I have done NOTHING to prepare as of now. Besides, I couldn't face another day of work this week. I'm taking the first half of next week off, and we will see about the rest when we return. This time of year is always rough for me, as school starts and I face another year of stress dealing with schedules, school work, and oh yah, work too. Of course it could also be that this is our normal "Disney" time of year. We have gone to DL or WDW for the past 4 years, the last week of August. Not this year. Do you think I'm just having Disney withdrawals??

[pogo]

now who's stalking whom???? they live on cross bow drive.

Near Hitree Lane or the circle ???

with any luck here are 6 of my dolls http://www.geocities.com/marilyn.michetti/?200820

Are these ok?

Yeah.... if you're a girl !

So who are you going to have coffee with tomorrow ???

[disneydeb]

Are these ok?

Yes! Great work!

Near Hitree Lane or the circle ???

Yeah.... if you're a girl !

Pogo, Marilyn thinks you are a girl, remember???



Good Night all!
Take care of yourselves!

[Caroleh]

with any luck here are 6 of my dolls http://www.geocities.com/marilyn.michetti/?200820

Are these ok?

Wow, Marilyn those are great...I'll PM maybe tomorrow with a few ideas!! I need to look at some actual pattern to measure the tissue paper!!

I'd say you're having Disney withdrawals!! I kinda know what you mean, only mine isn't Disney, but going back home. We usually go at the end of May. This year we didn't go and I'm missing my family something terrible.

Have a great time this weekend, T & G, Blythe and Mary!!! Mary, could you eat a Mickey rice krispie bar for me please? 48 more days until the first trip!!!

[Marilyn Michetti]

Pogo, I've done some "guy" dolls, and I've done a couple that involve veils and finger tambourines. One of them enlisted as a Navy Wave, but the other probably shouldn't be shown on a family forum.

Caroleh, DH is waiting for your e-mail to send you an actual picture of the quints.

(I still have hopes that Pogo will change his mind about being a guy - the embarrassment will stay with me forever). If you can't, can you at least pretend to like dolls?

[Flower]

Just zooping! This week has been crazy busy, I spent yesterday at the zoo with Brandon's school - yup...45 children!! It was exhausting and I get to do it all again tomorrow at a local water park. I think I need to have my sanity level checked!

Pogo - the walkway/deck looks amazing!

Blythe - I hope everything works out with your tests, I hope no babies end up getting the mumps - and the poor things are not even vaccinated. Are they planning on doing anything to the Dr if she knew she was infected and still reported to work?

Marilyn - your dolls are adorable! (This coming from a girl!)

T&G - I am with you on the Disney withdrawls....we have been going 3 times a year for the past 3 years - I have not been since January & I don't think we will get back until next Sept . Jays work schedule is just too crazy and will be for the next year

Ken - Thanks for giving blood!
My step-dad was honoured at a dinner in May for giving over 100 units of blood. In June he had a heart attack and was administered 3 units, he joked that maybe he was saving his own life. In July he learned that because of the heart attack he can no longer give blood - ever. I have a call in to Canadian Blood Services and am waiting to hear back from them; I want to organize a blood drive and challenge his friends & family to match (hopefully supersede) his 100 unit contribution. I will keep you all posted on if the drive is a go or not! I already have the location set up at one of our police divisions that has a public access community room - The police chief and inspector have given me their blessings, so hopefully the Cdn Blood Services will allow/staff the drive. Anyway - thank you!

Well, I am heading to bed, gotta rest up for my 'field trip' to the water park tomorrow - anyone want to come chaperon with me?

& to all those in need, and to all of those going to WDW, say hi to for me, and please bring me back a .

[drummerboy]

Lea-Ann, when I was waiting to give today, they were talking about a man who had been given several pints when wounded as a WWII soldier. He started giving as soon as he got home and apparently has given some huge amount of units over the last 60 years or so. I thought they said 1000, but that amounts to about 16 pints a year, and I'm not sure that's possible.

Anybody got a spare cookie?
