Hey! Who has a Wii and how do we play them together??? Don't they do that online somehow?? Anyone wanna bowl with me??
That is the coolest idea! I'll figure out this week how to hook up to our router and we can bowl! :woohoo:

Well, see, here in the South we don't mix them together. We'll take a bit of popcorn, then have a sip of hot chocolate...
That would make the most vile of corn pops :rotfl:

Did I mention I forgot to delete the boomerang effect of the the feverish, sneezing, congestion, coughing, etc. computer virus ??? You guessed it. Now I have it and will be flying several times during the next four days. If they pressurize the cabin of the plane, it may get messy !!! Watch the news for disturbances somewhere over New Orleans, Tampa, Jacksonville and Dallas.
Ewwwwwww. You might take under consideration some of the home remedies that were suggested last week, super spy!

Maybe.....I posted earlier that Amy had called me from her DBF house to find out about how to make ressies and about getting the dining plan ,, prices, when would I want to go down next, etc.
She just called again to see about getting in touch with Magical Journeys. They want to spend a week and waant me to go as their guest--- isn't that sweet?:D

I told her December 11-16--- Is that right? She kind of caught me off guard.:D
That IS sweet! How old is Amy? (In other words, how much longer do I have to wait until DS invites me to WDW?)

You know, this is beginning to come together. I marked Dec 10 to 14 on my calendar today. :D

I have a question for those of you with digital cameras and have prints made. Do you have all your photos printed or a select few? Out of the 800+ pictures I took on our trip, so far I've gotten it narrowed down to a little over 600. The cost to get them printed will be over $100. I want to scrapbook them, but thats still a lot of photos and I'm not sure how many more I want to eliminate. I'm so confused...like that's a first!!!
Seriously I think you need to get a good printer and print them yourself. You can gang them up to save on paper, you can size them as you need them on the fly, you can change them to sepia or b/w, etc., etc. You can't go wrong with an HP or an Epson.

Anyone want any homemade chili tonight? I have some left.
Can I have some for lunch tomorrow?

Night night, all! I'll have coffee and tea ready in the AM, along with blueberry scones. Later, gators!

That is very close to our dates. But we still haven't made ressies and won't for some time. Will you be mad if we don't make it ?? :D

Did you check with an online source, like Web shots ?? Might be cheaper. :blush:

Amy thought she would go with me in October to protect me from you all @ Intercot! She thought she would be baby sitting me then.
What about your DH ?? I'm looking forward to meeting him too ! :D

Well, I thought it would be even more fun for you if you got to babysit someone.

No thanks on the chili for tonight - I'm still full from the sloppy joes. Did you make it today? It will be even better tomorrow!

I made the chili today andI thought it was some of my best ever, but hubby says I've done better but this was good.:confused: Wonder what he meant by that?

We are going to take Gage down for his first trip to the world probably December 2010. At lest that was the general concensus around the Christmas Dinner table this year.

That IS sweet! How old is Amy? (In other words, how much longer do I have to wait until DS invites me to WDW?)

Amy is 20 and should graduate in May. She thinks she is going to make a bunch of money right away.:D Her DBF has been in the marines and now works for Saturn, gave her a promise ring for Christmas, ( think she wants to get engaged officially in front of the castle)

Sure you can have some for lunch!

I know things will work out. And I know moving is a hassle, but do you think you could find a place that might be even cheaper rent?

And I'll be happy to have a :marg: for ya tonight! Remember, I'm a martyr!!
Probably not... :( ...there isn't much available in our little town, and we'd like to stay here -- the school district's awesome.

How was my :marg:??

Do you have a lease? Did they ever indicate that it was so short-term? Seems like you just moved in. On the Pollyanna side, you did discover that you liked the neighborhood, the schools and even found a church you like, so it's not a complete loss.
Yes, we have a lease - it was for a year, and is up April 30th. When we signed, they actually indicated they'd like us to sign for 2 years - but we thought instead we'd extend at the end for 6-8 months, depending on the market and what we wanted to do. So, this was a bit surprising, but I have to admit, I was wondering... I'm not sure why, just had a feeling.

And you're right - this house was a gift, and it allowed us to finally find "our spot" - so now, we're just believing that things will continue to move forward here for us, one way or another!!

Sorry Neighbor.... but.... there is a nice Cape across the street from us for sale with 4 bedrooms and a huge garage. Plus it would come with resort privilages and golfing partner for Dan !
Does it come with a job for him, too?? 'Cuz I can just get a job at Strong... our friends in Farmington would be very happy with you!!

Sorry to hear about the landlords wanting to sell, Blythe. Maybe you can get lucky and find something for the same price and have a place for you to scrapbook!! Also, maybe find something a little more safe so Emma won't start on fire again!! BTW, did she share her fire story with her class?
We're actually hoping for one of two things - that they'll want to sell at a VERY reasonable price, one we'd consider buying the house for and hanging on to it for a few years... or that they'll extend the lease 'til the end of the school year and we'll try to find something else, or maybe even build. Neither thing is a bad option... just not one we wanted to pursue so quickly!!

And yes - she did share her story.... I'm just glad the fire marshall didn't come knocking at our door...

This Fairy Godmother will.:pixie:

Thank you -- and to all of you who sent pixie dust, too!! :)

What's everyone doing tonight?
Working... I'm up on Labor & Delivery, and we had lots of deliveries... but I'm on the end of the floor where we try to keep babies in, and I've been running like crazy!! It's amazing how babies can hide in such a little space...

I have a question for those of you with digital cameras and have prints made. Do you have all your photos printed or a select few? Out of the 800+ pictures I took on our trip, so far I've gotten it narrowed down to a little over 600. The cost to get them printed will be over $100. I want to scrapbook them, but thats still a lot of photos and I'm not sure how many more I want to eliminate. I'm so confused...like that's a first!!!
I usually use Snapfish online, and I pre-pay my prints, which makes them .9 each. They do a nice job, and if you ever have a problem, they'll re-print for free. (I even had Fed Ex deliver the package to the wrong address and they just re-did the pics and sent them out again, no charge...) And I also do like you - I try to weed out the ones I like least before I print them - but some you just can't be sure of until they're printed, so I always end up printing more than I use!

You know, this is beginning to come together. I marked Dec 10 to 14 on my calendar today.

Night night, all! I'll have coffee and tea ready in the AM, along with blueberry scones. Later, gators!
I'm hoping the dates will still work out for us - this whole thing has got our trip very much up in the air. If it all works out, and I have to believe it will to keep my sanity intact - we won't probably book until late in the summer and we're settled. Phew.... that suddenly seems SO far away.... :(

I'll be looking for those scones... yummm!! Can't wait!!

Thanks for all the kind words and helpful thoughts and pixie dust... we're going to have some discussions with different folks this week, and hopefully we'll hear back from the owners on their timing, and we can head into the weekend with a more clear idea of what we're doing. Think good thoughts tomorrow while I sleep, okay?? :)

Good morning all, did you miss me? Lolol
I know it was only 2 days ago that I last posted. You'll never guess who was at the park yesterday. And I'm not telling because I really didn't see her. :D
Now why did I extend to 8:30 last night? You don't suppose those evil little :thedolls: made me do it?

He doesn't plan on going until we take Gage the next year. Unless he if fishining, he is usually working - or on the ball field. How can we lure a fisherman?

Amy's plans are not definite yet... so I an not there ....yet! But I am hopeful.

Have a great day everyone! Aww! Let's make it a Disney Day!

Does it come with a job for him, too?? 'Cuz I can just get a job at Strong... our friends in Farmington would be very happy with you!!
It could very well come with a job. I have several construction companies that I work with. And the Spencerport School system is highly rated. :thumbsup:

I have an HP but the cost of ink about killed me last time I printed the Disney pictures. I wanted to print a few of them off here but do the bulk somewhere else.

I usually use Snapfish online, and I pre-pay my prints, which makes them .9 each. They do a nice job, and if you ever have a problem, they'll re-print for free.

I'll have to check them out along with webshots. Walmart wants $.19 a print which is still a little high for me.

How's everyone doing? Did you know we only have 150 days until our trip? Did you also know that we'll be there during Star Wars weekends? I'm so excited! Anyone here ever been during one of those? I'm sure Studios will be packed, but I can't wait, hope to get some pics and autographs.

Beast_fanatic

01-15-2008, 02:37 PM

Hi Scott! I was beginning to think I had run everyone off!

I think I was there for Star Wars weekend once, but it was a long time ago and I don't think we spent much time at the Studios during the weekend. I've heard that some of it can be kind of crazy though. I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time though!

Is anyone else bored today, or is it just me?

drummerboy

I kinda knew that but he doesn't put a whole lot out there as to who he is. (or at least if he does I've missed it somehow)

granted it took me years to add "Natalie" to my sig line and I still don't say what town I'm in so no harm no foul there.

Now Pogo's a whole other ball game...but I still say his name should have been Aflack.

Speaking of names..does anyone else aside from Christine want to change theirs or do we all still like them?

So, what's for supper tonight?

Well.. you are mighty fast for an old guy! :D I just switchboarded costume shops, jasper indiana and was gonna come here to post what I found to see if someone would want to call him up! I guess great minds think alike!
Glad to hear he's recovering well!

It is fun how we all come up with our names. When I first joined I was very boring and used my proper name. Wasn't John kind to me (and a few other mods) when he let us make alterations?

All this talk of December meets is getting me way over-excited. I now have accomodation booked for the first two weeks of December but I don't have a husband who agrees we should be going at all! I notice (having had a quick look at flights :blush:) that after 14 December they go up by about $1200 a person :eek: from the UK so if we do come that will be our departure day. I'll have to see what happens......

So glad someone was clever and found out about Jasper and that the news was positive. How is everyone else doing?

Yall have a great day. Who wants a 99 cent Sonic burger tonight for dinner?

I'll pass, we're having wings tonight!!!

..does anyone else aside from Christine want to change theirs or do we all still like them?

Nope, I like mine!! It was my nickname before I even joined the boards and I have it embroidered on one of my scrapbook carry-alls

Great news gang! I did a little detective work and tracked Jasper down. He's recovering well and will try to get on tomorrow and give us all an update. I told him everybody's been worried sick about him.

I can't believe you all were thinking alike!!! Is this Drummerboys Discount Detective Agency?

Christine

01-15-2008, 06:42 PM

Did you know we only have 150 days until our trip? Did you also know that we'll be there during Star Wars weekends?
Never been (Star Whos?) but I bet you'll have a great time!

IThink Christine's awake yet?
Hey!

She went to work today. Do you think that's why it's so quiet in here? :fresh:
HEY!

I think that's where he's from - Jasper, Indiana.. so Pogo.. since you aren't busy - why don't you get a Jasper Indiana phone book and call everyone in it starting in the A's until you reach Jasper! :D
:funny:

Work was...work. All the books balanced and I got 2007 closed out and everything set up for 2008. I "get" to go in next week too to catch his contacts up (he has 2 huge boxes full of business cards to be entered into Outlook). I'm sure it'll be so much fun I should pay HIM! :rolleyes:

So, no takers on my Sonic burgers? Everyone's headed to Rhonda's for fajitas I see. Fine! See if I care! :cry:

December that just passed? Or do you mean next December? No and not sure.

Believe it or not I just don't have anything to say. So I guess I'll imitate Ken and just say "hey"!
Oh my goodness. Mark this day down. :D

I'm on my way ! Let's see... it's 4:00 PM here.... flight to Texas takes about three and a half hours..... I think I can be there at around midnight ! :D
Don't forget to subtract an hour.

Can't wait to hear from Jasper and compare war stories.

I called his stupidvisor and he told me that dh should be on his way home and to call him back if I haven't heard from him by 9pm... by then the stupidvisor will be more useless than he already is since it sounded like he was in a bar...so I"m very worried. dh KNOWS I'll be worried by now so he would've called me if he could...

Hi all... just zooping in from work...

Hope you get warm Blythe..and if it helps I think your name is lovely!

It definitely got better around the house after I got up... they fixed everything around 2pm, so all should be toasty by now!!

And thank you for the compliment on my name... it's funny, a lot of people have said they like it, but having grown up with it, I just can't hear it!! All I knew growing up was that it was different, and I didn't like that at all!! Now, I can just say it's a good conversation starter... Dan could tell you some funny stories... :blush:

How is everyone else doing?
Good!! And I sure hope you're able to join us in December... it'd be so nice to see you again!!

My dh is ok! He finally called! WHEW!! :whew:

Good job! Glad to hear everything is OK.

Would you believe I just found him too ! I did an internet search for him and have his telephone number.

:spy: You guys are all too scarey -- I tried multi-quoting all the Jasper posts, but I can't for some reason - anyway, I thought I'd found him, too, and was copying all the info to see if somebody who knows him a little better wanted to call!!

It was one icey dicey morning here! Kids school was 2 hours late....really wish I would have known that before I headed down the hill at 6:20am to take DD to her before-school singing. Sure gave my anti-lock brakes a work out today - it was horribly slick! But all made it out and back home safe.

If March doesn't work, I may have to decide between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't really pull them out of school for more than a day or two. So, even if we went in December, it would likely be closer to Christmas than when most of you all are planning. :(

I shouldn't be going until after Christmas, but I don't want to fight the crowds. My business was very strong until the 15th and like you said the rates go up on the 18th. So I did the math and picked December 11th to the 18th. But honestly.... I'd rather go April 17th to the 24th. :yes: But we will try December so we can meet this cazy group of frineds that said they wanted to go in December. :D

The weekend before the rates go up! Does that make it easier to remember? Gage will be less than 2 if we take him. Does he need a dining plan?I don't think he does. Not at two. :mickey:

I am doing ok with the recovery from surgery but it is still pretty slow going. The doc warned me in advance that this would be far worse than any of the other 6 back operations I have had to date and boy was he right!! I am still mostly confined to bed rest but do get up for about an hour or so each day. My sitting time is still limited to no more than 5 minutes at a spell. So the bottom line is I am still around and getting a little better each day!

Gage will be less than 2 if we take him. Does he need a dining plan? Not really..unless he's a big eater by then and he'd want his own stuff. (and not just an extra side at a CS now and then)

Just zooping in for a moment to say hello!

Thanks Blythe! Yep! It's way too easy.. especially since he's a trucker.. you just never know... I especially hate winter - when the roads are bad I am a nervous wreck all day.

Glad that he is ok. Now you can yell at him!

What is a chickn wing pizza?

Is it ok that I hugged him first before I yelled at him? :D

I'm not sure what a chicken wing pizza is either.. but I'd be worried about the feathers getting stuck in my throat! :D

Google is an amazing tool! Its one of my favorites!

Who else gets a 3 day weekend this weekend?

I didn't use Google - I used Switchboard. I love that site!

I don't .. I'll be working Monday... should be a quiet day though since the schools are all out.. we won't have them pestering us about 'what time will my delivery be here'....

I'm glad everything turned out good with the DH, Diane!! I know how it feels when they are late and you can't get ahold of them. It is so scary and everything that goes through your head.

Thanks Carol! It also doesn't help that this company he works for has the worst trucks in the world! They are all in desperate need of replacement! The one he used yesterday had NO HEAT in it so when he did get home he was frozen solid!

DD and John are playing Wii. When is it gonna be my turn???

When they are done?

It's a pizza that has buffalo wing sauce instead of pizza sauce & buffalo chicken wing chicken on it, some mozzerella cheese & blue cheese on the side. Yummm!! Want a piece??

I'm game! I'll try a piece.. but you can keep the blue cheese!

So is anybody getting snow?

Not right now.. but they are saying we'll get some mixed with ice starting tomorrow morning around 3am.. so my drive in to work should be quite fun.

Diane, I'm so glad everything is OK.

Anyone have any suggestions about an engagement with the castle as a backdrop?

Ummmm.... just pick a spot.. get on one knee and ask! So.. who you gonna propose to? :D

Just zooping in for a moment to say hello!

Do we have the best Mod in the world on the JAQ thread or what? Drummerboy took the time to track down my telephone number and called me yesterday to see how I was doing!!! I think that is just the greatest thing in the world, so hats off and a huge thanks to Ken for making my day yesterday.

JASPER!!!!!! Sooooo good to hear from you! And so good to know you are doing well! We've all been worried about you! Luckily Jasper, IN only has one costume shop! Though that should also make a person a bit more cautious.. made you too easy to find! And kids think it's safe to give out information on myspace and other message boards...maybe you can do a public service announcement Jasper... telling the public how this crazy person who talks in questions located you because you gave out one small piece of information... :D

They were doing the fitness tests and then tennis. You know, I don't think I'm going to buy any more Wii games...all we play is Sports! Does anyone else play any other games?

Do they have fishing on there ??:blush:
Are yellow pages yellow on the internet? I've never looked.

Nope... all different colours ! :D

Remind me to give you some Southern language lessons!

Yeah.... you got to get that twang thing going. :D

I take it noone wants to guess who it was that I saw on Monday?
You really want me to just say the title/name?
For which I'm very glad/happy that I extended on Monday.
Come on..... come... on ...... just spit it out ! :D Who ????

It also doesn't help that this company he works for has the worst trucks in the world! They are all in desperate need of replacement! The one he used yesterday had NO HEAT in it so when he did get home he was frozen solid!

Go ahead.... use it again !:fresh: But I have to ask.... did you warm him up ??? :D

Yeah I did.. I made him take a warm shower.. then told him to put his socks on.. and I had the electric blanket on the bed for him and told him to keep his cold, frozen body as far away from my nice warm one as he could! :D :fresh:

Can someone please help me find my question?

Thanks Blythe! Yep! It's way too easy.. especially since he's a trucker.. you just never know... I especially hate winter - when the roads are bad I am a nervous wreck all day. I'm guessing your aunt is NOT Italian?:
Not so much no. (and frankly I was 10 and knew you were not supposed to make it that way...)

Wee? Wouldn't that word indicate an Irish twang? :D
Theory wise I guess so..but I'm mostly just everything so it's kinda hard to tell.

Yeah.... you got to get that twang thing going. : Didn't you and Blythe all decide I already had an accent? Mind you I'm still confused as to how in Canada I could have an accent. Kinda like Christine doesn't have an accent unless she travels north right?

Go ahead.... use it again !:fresh: But I have to ask.... did you warm him up ??? :D eww....;)

Just zooping in for a moment to say hello!
Glad to hear the recovery is on track!

Poor T&G...... what to do... what to do ??? :D

I shouldn't be going until after Christmas, but I don't want to fight the crowds. My business was very strong until the 15th and like you said the rates go up on the 18th. So I did the math and picked December 11th to the 18th. But honestly.... I'd rather go April 17th to the 24th. :yes: But we will try December so we can meet this cazy group of frineds that said they wanted to go in December. :D

IF we were to go in December, we would likely just miss you all. With one kid in high school and the other with special needs, they just can't afford to miss much school. And I'm with you on avoiding the crowd between Christmas and New Years!

I have a 3 month weekend! :thedolls:

Didn't I already say "Quiet you"??

They were doing the fitness tests and then tennis. You know, I don't think I'm going to buy any more Wii games...all we play is Sports! Does anyone else play any other games?

Other games? What other games??? Oh, you mean the ones that cost and fortune, and have barely even been opened!

:fresh: (has anyone else noticed that I seem to be using this smilie more and more in response to our dear old Pogo?)
Yah, :fresh: and Pogo seem to go together! :D

I have a chance for a rare morning check in here, since I have to take DD to the orthodontist. So how's everyones hump day going?

01-16-2008, 12:18 PM

Gage will be less than 2 if we take him. Does he need a dining plan?

Nope. He's not even eligible to get one (only 3 and over).

I am doing ok with the recovery from surgery but it is still pretty slow going. The doc warned me in advance that this would be far worse than any of the other 6 back operations I have had to date and boy was he right!! I am still mostly confined to bed rest but do get up for about an hour or so each day. My sitting time is still limited to no more than 5 minutes at a spell. So the bottom line is I am still around and getting a little better each day!

Glad to hear that the recovery is progressing! Continued :pixie: on the way! Don't overdo it!

Couldn't you use it as a honeymoon ??

Or, maybe we could have another proposal. :blush:

As for lunch, I'm having a leftover fajita. Hubby didn't take his though. Should I scold him about that later?

Re the 3 year old dining thing..I had read somewhere (here I thought) that you can purchase it if you want to for those under..just that they don't normally make you buy it to meet the "all on the plan" thing in a package. But perhaps I'm loosing it. It's been a very long day already.

Other games? What other games??? Oh, you mean the ones that cost and fortune, and have barely even been opened! We like the training programs in Wii Sports best.... Euan is also very good at tennis -- It's hilarious to watch him flailing about.....and winning!

Re the 3 year old dining thing..I had read somewhere (here I thought) that you can purchase it if you want to for those under..just that they don't normally make you buy it to meet the "all on the plan" thing in a package.You can't purchase the plan for under 3 -- I tried and tried, and could not. You have to purchase the whole package for the kid if you want the plan for them ... and frankly there is no way that is worth it. They eat for free at buffets and family service restaurants, and we found that we were often given comp pasta for him elsewhere....and then augmented his meal with the bounty from our plates.

Nice to see you Jasper! Hope you continue to recover so well!!!

Natalie does NOT have an accent -- It must be your ears :D Have you had them checked??

I believe the last time he had them checked the doctor said he could see straight thru to the other side of the room!!! :D

Do we have the best Mod in the world on the JAQ thread or what? Drummerboy took the time to track down my telephone number and called me yesterday to see how I was doing!!! I think that is just the greatest thing in the world, so hats off and a huge thanks to Ken for making my day yesterday.

I am doing ok with the recovery from surgery but it is still pretty slow going. The doc warned me in advance that this would be far worse than any of the other 6 back operations I have had to date and boy was he right!!

Thanks to everyone for your concern and I will try to check in again later today depending on how I feel.

Thanks again to all of you!!!!
Jasper, I am so glad to hear from you... you gave us quite a lot of fun finding you, though, staying away like that!! :nono: I'm glad to hear your recovery is going well, even though it is slow -- I hope you're feeling better each and every day!! Keep us "posted" on how you're doing... we don't want to have to send out the spies again!!

And by the way.... there were four of us that tracked you down.
Shhh... you want everybody requesting our services???

They went in August. I would love to go next December, but I need to see how my year is panning out first. Stayed tuned....

I'm tuned.... :D

I mean think of all the odd things we've done to Italian food in North America (I have an aunt who makes spagetti sauce with tomato soup for goodness sake!)

Can you believe I've been on this one phone call for almost an hour??? Every single person I talk to says I can't help... I'm not the right department... let me transfer you... that's not how we do things... we can't do that.... ugh!!! :bang: And the beauty of the whole thing is that this is something we've been trying to fix since August -- and still no one seems to know what to do!!

Ugh! Good luck with Verizon! Try contacting them via the email. Go to their website. I did that and got responses. I've had lots of trouble when I've called. This last time I raised such a fuss over the trouble they caused in trying to fix the trouble they caused that I got some extra minutes out of them. Hope it works out!

Yesterday I went into the office (I've mentioned how cool the view is from our cafeteria, so here's a pic) (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2161498190091682051vLOcTF) and was exhausted by the time I got home. Today I was busy, busy, busy and my back was in spasms for most of the day. I did stop in to catch up though. Man, do y'all know that you talk a LOT? :blah:

Jasper, we're so happy to hear from you. Have you been getting our shipments of :pixie:? Here's some more :pixie: for your continued recovery.

How's everyone doing? Did you know we only have 150 days until our trip? Did you also know that we'll be there during Star Wars weekends? I'm so excited! Anyone here ever been during one of those? I'm sure Studios will be packed, but I can't wait, hope to get some pics and autographs.
Not to one up ya, but we only have 27 days on our countdown. We've been during Star Wars weekend. It was AWESOME! You do need to get there early and have a plan.

Who else gets a 3 day weekend this weekend?
Bethany does and so does DS. Guess who's coming to visit?

What are they playing? DD5 is REALLY good at the tennis! I think I need to get her some tennis lessons - maybe she can support us in our old age!

They were doing the fitness tests and then tennis. You know, I don't think I'm going to buy any more Wii games...all we play is Sports! Does anyone else play any other games?
DS had tennis lessons first and then we got the Wii. Now tennis lessons got really, really expensive so all we have is the Wii. We also like to play other games (he's playing Naruto right now).

Christine, don't you have HSM for the Wii? It's a lot of fun and I think Miss Olivia would really like it.

So is anybody getting snow? :D
We might get snow on Friday. Doesn't it know that it's supposed to snow (a lot) during the week so that we can get a day off? :shakehead:

Is that the flatiron building on the right (the triangular one) or am I thinking of another bldg?

It's not the Flatiron Building. As an aside, I actually go past the Flatiron Building on my way to school. And on the way home from school, I can see Ellen's building. Is it any wonder why my feet are tired at the end of the day?

So Ellen, am I invited to visit you in February? :D

OK..... my wife and I are watching Idol auditions from Dallas and we are laughing so hard. Is anybody else being entertained by this ? :confused:

Christine, Rhonda and Morgan... (is she still with us ?) ...... you have a lot of weirdo's in Texas..... sorry ! :(

I don't know, but John is probably gonna be asking to trade me when I tell him what I'm trying to do!!
I'll give him two chickens and a pig for ya ! :D

Hi everybody. What'd I miss?
You mean you haven't been around ? :blush:

Christine, you should not go to Disney World because your daughter and your husband will begin to think you don't love them any more! How's that for a reason?

:drama: I agree ! You should stay home and NOT go to WDW without them..... sorry ! :(

Lots!! But we missed you, too!! I see someone caught you up, though...

How's Rachel doing??

(I've mentioned how cool the view is from our cafeteria, so here's a pic) (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2161498190091682051vLOcTF)
Hi Ellen! :hi: What a cool shot!! And of course we missed you, silly!!

Ken tracked down Jasper to see how he was after surgery, Diane 's hubby was lost on te drive in a frozen truck, Pogo is still trying to sell tickets to WDW in December, Bethany went to a train show then went back again, Jenn is taking courses, Blythe and Dan 's daughter got really hot, my DD Amy thinks her DBF will propose next December in front of Cindy's castle and you're all invited. How'd I do?
Great!! Much better than I could've done... :thumbsup:

So - all of a sudden it's really quiet around here -- you guys were quite chatty today!! I'm actually headed off to bed already... had a little bit of upset this morning at work, and on top of everything else that's gone on the last few days - I just feel spent. Luckily, I'm headed over to a friend's house for the day tomorrow to just crash and watch a few movies (actually, it's a fellow Intercotee, Kisobel a.k.a. Kate... the girl who delivered our NY's baby...) She said there's a couple of movies I just have to see, and it's time for me to relax! What a girl, 'eh?? So, I'm sure that'll help, and I'll show up around here tomorrow with little bit of a :) attitude. :blush:

Hope you all are having a nice night -- see you tomorrow afternoon!! G'nite!!

I have some left over chili mac and some left over beef and noodles you can have... I'm kinda getting tired of it after having it for 3 nights now. Anyone wanna trade left overs? What is chili mac now?

Oh dear, I am going all over English ;) All over English does.

We're having a mish mash of leftovers here too. We should all get together for potluck, eh? Sure!

Yes, the mall does have shoe stores. I didn't go to any of them, and I didn't do much walking around. I ate my soup while watching the ice skaters, and then I ventured into the Disney Store where I found nothing of interest to me and then I looked over the calendar kiosk because they were 75% off and then I got a refill on my drink and left as it was time to be back to work. Why does the time go so much faster away from work than it does when I'm here?

Not Hagen Daz.... more likely some Ben & Jerry's! :cloud9:

I believe you need to drink 64 oz of water each day. IF you drink caffeine though you need to increase that as caffeine is a diuretic and will flush water from your system.

If I drink as much as Diane says I'm going to need a potty in my office..I was only thinking like 32 oz. Wouldn't any health pluses be minused by the overwhelming water weight gain? I mean how much does 64oz of water weigh? (or is an oz a weight cause a litre isn't a weight)

disneydrmr

01-17-2008, 04:54 PM

Found this for you Nat:

How much water do you need?

Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.

A couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.

Replacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids.
Dietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.
Even apart from the above approaches, it is generally the case that if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce between one and two liters of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate.

Factors that influence water needs

You may need to modify your total fluid intake depending on how active you are, the climate you live in, your health status, and if you're pregnant or breast-feeding.

Exercise. The more you exercise, the more fluid you'll need to keep your body hydrated. An extra 1 or 2 cups of water should suffice for short bouts of exercise, but intense exercise lasting more than an hour (for example, running a marathon) requires additional fluid. How much additional fluid is needed depends on how much you sweat during the exercise, but 13 to26 ounces (or about 2 to 3 cups) an hour will generally be adequate, unless the weather is exceptionally warm.

During long bouts of intense exercise, it's best to use a sports drink that contains sodium, as this will help replace sodium lost in sweat and reduce the chances of developing hyponatremia, which can be life-threatening. Fluid also should be replaced after exercise. Drinking 16 ounces of fluid per pound of body weight lost during exercise is recommended.

Environment. Hot or humid weather can make you sweat and requires additional intake of fluid. Heated indoor air also can cause your skin to lose moisture during wintertime. Further, altitudes greater than 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) may trigger increased urination and more rapid breathing, which use up more of your fluid reserves.
Illnesses or health conditions. Signs of illnesses, such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea, cause your body to lose additional fluids. In these cases you should drink more water and may even need oral rehydration solutions, such as Gatorade, Powerade or Ceralyte. Certain conditions, including bladder infections or urinary tract stones, also require increased water intake. On the other hand, certain conditions such as heart failure and some types of kidney, liver and adrenal diseases may impair excretion of water and even require that you limit your fluid intake.
Pregnancy or breast-feeding. Women who are expecting or breast-feeding need additional fluids to stay hydrated. Large amounts of fluid are lost especially when nursing. The Institute of Medicine recommends that pregnant women drink 2.4 liters (about 10 cups) of fluids daily and women who breast-feed consume 3.0 liters (about 12.5 cups) of fluids a day.

Does that help?

I think the 64 oz. thing is partly taken care of by water that's in a lot of the food we eat and other things we drink. By the way, a gallon of water weighs about 8 lbs. (I had to learn that when I was a park ranger, for reasons that escape me now.)

Hi guys... got back awhile ago from my friend's house... we watched "Strictly Ballroom" and "Moulin Rouge". Anybody seen them?? I really liked them, but they left me in an odd mood on the way home... I wasn't sure if I should dance, sing or cry!!

Are ya'll trying to mess up a daddy/daughter weekend??

Olivia and I love spending time together, and we know Christine will have a blast in Disney, so we're very happy that she's getting to go.
John??? Is that really you??? What'd Christine bribe you with????? ;)

Christine, what are you doing logging on under John's account?
Aaahhh... that would explain a few things...

She's doing better now that I talked the OB into some Reglan po ac and hs

Rachel wants Rebecca as a middle name for a girl. I like Holly for a first name. I like Alex for a boys first name and maybe Anthony so his initials would be AAR!

Any ideas?
Poor girl... I remember the days of needing Reglan... won't tell you how I took it, though... :secret:

Rebecca is beautiful, so is Holly... but WHERE did you come up with Alex??? :D

I knew I liked you for a reason. So tell me Jym, was it the way I staggered in the Parking Lot of PI?

Oh yes, that must have been very endearing... just what Jym would like his firstborn to live up to.... :thedolls:

Why does the time go so much faster away from work than it does when I'm here?
Age old question... if anybody comes up with the answer, can they please let me know???

'm hoping to find the money in my budget to buy a mini/personal trampoline. Someone told me Walmart has them for around $20 or so.
So then you can :mjump: like Pogo on 15 cups of coffee, right???

Now if someone could just nag me about water. Any takers?
Did you REALLY just ask this group about nagging you?? Are you kidding me??? :faint:

64 oz??? Good heavens....what are you trying to set a record for going to the potty?
Couldn't you have just said "the loo"?? Sounds much better when you read it.... :D

So - what's for dinner?? I spend the better part of my time after I got home on the phone with our mortgage guy, so I am in need of some serious anti-stress, all-about-relaxing, comfort food!! (Actually, the news is good for us, but any financial conversation leaves me wanting to :sick: - no offense, Natalie!! I actually like everything about finances except asking people for $$$ !!!)

You made me laugh right out loud with this one!! What's for dinner and :sick: don't often go together do they?

I'm not sure what you should have but maybe something with mashed potatoes? That always works for me.

And on the "asking for money part"..if your dealing with a lender that's what they sell..it's no different then asking the video store where the movie you want is. In fact if no one asks me for money I'd be in serious trouble. (I look at it from the point of view that most everyone wants what I'm selling...who here doesn't want money?)

The trick is to understand why you should get it.

For dinner, we're having this concoction that I got the recipe for out of the recipe thread in the Water Cooler a year or two ago. It's hamburger meat, minestrone soup, ranch-style beans (drained) and Rotel tomatoes and chilis. It takes a bit like chili, but is healthier because of the veggies from the soup.

As long as you're asking for $$$, can you get a little extra for me? :blush:

Yeah but two litres is a lot..it's the 64oz thing (roughly) each cup is 250ML or 8oz so 2 litres is four water bottles worth...which is way more then I drink....

Hi, everyone! Man... it's taking hours to catch up with you all!

So Ellen, am I invited to visit you in February?
You sure are, but when you have off we'll be sailing. Want to join us on the cruise?

I'm thinking of entering at least the 1/2 marathon next year. Is that a crazy idea or what?
I was actually training for the 1/2 when the :thedolls: decided to visit again (grrrr). I think it's a very cool idea and one of the things I'd LOVE to do.

Yes I missed it as I wasn't there.
You weren't there and you were very much missed. I do have the trivia challenges on my puter. Would you like a copy? :D

Hi Ellen! If you have treatment today ... I hope this helps! :pixie:
You are so sweet for remembering that Thursday is my "fight the :thedolls:" day. This week is my week off. After the day I had yesterday, it's really good to be able to stay at home. My back spasms started immediately after I had an "issue" at work. :(

So, Ellen, does that triangular building have a name? I remember seeing it when DW and I visited NYC a while back.
Do you mean the white building (in the forefront of the pic on the right) that's home to the New Year's ball? It's have several incarnations but I think it was at one point home to the Times.

I'm actually feeling a bit queasy :sick: , but I felt a little better after I had my morning snack, so I think it's just sinus drainage that's making me feel yucky and that I'll probably feel better if I eat.
Ben's got the same thing... :pixie: for you.

I'll also probably hit the food court for lunch.
What did it ever do to you?

Poor girl... I remember the days of needing Reglan... won't tell you how I took it, though...
Let's see, I've gotten Reglan PO but my least favorite was IM where the sun don't shine.

The chicken soup must have done the trick as I feel much better now.
You know what they say about chicken soup, right?

Can you just picture Diane slumped in an alley way, OD'd on hagen daz.... glassey eyed out of her witts and the strong smell of butter pecan on her breath ????
Wouldn't that have been rum raisin?

Doesn't decaf tea count towards water intake? And isn't it really not how much goes in but the color of what comes out that counts to show that you're sufficiently hydrated? (Sorry if that's TMI. :blush:) On that note, I think I need to take my leave. Gotta get to my weekly online support group.

The county, most towns in our end of the county, local state rep. and congressionsal rep. will have somebody there, so let's see how long it takes me to :oops:. Think I could regale them with JQ stories?The DNC doesn't allow me to come to private functions anymore.

I love your names. Remember that it is your child and it is nobody elses business what you name him/her. Personally, I like Charles (Charley)for a boy and Greer for a girl.... I can not have any more children, so they are yours for the taking! Greer. That's pretty cool. I'll have my people look into that.

Poor girl... I remember the days of needing Reglan... won't tell you how I took it, though... :secret:

Rebecca is beautiful, so is Holly... but WHERE did you come up with Alex??? :D
I've always liked it as a boy's name, well 'til I met SOME people.
The scary part is, I was thinking about Maria for a girl. We have several in the family.

Any more ideas? I'll accept submissions via email and donations through paypal.

I'm not sure what you should have but maybe something with mashed potatoes? That always works for me.

Funny.... Dan had au gratin potatoes and a grilled sandwich... the girls and I just had waffles with syrup and whipped cream!! :D :tasty:

As long as you're asking for $$$, can you get a little extra for me?
Sure!! What are friends for??? :spend:

The "loo"???? What is that, Syracuse lingo?

I think she must have picked that up from one of the hick flicks she was watching today.
Syracuse lingo?? Hick flicks???? Hoo boy, wait 'til Mikki reads those two... silly boys... don't you know anything about the "English" language???
(And did you mean to say "chick flicks"??? Because maybe the first one was, but "Moulin Rouge"??? Not so much...)

Let's see, I've gotten Reglan PO but my least favorite was IM where the sun don't shine.

:stop:

So whats for dinner? I'm not in the mood to cook, so it may be breakfast - eggs, bacon, etc. If there's any left, I'll save it for whoever wants it in the morning!
Great minds think alike... did you see we had waffles?? I do have some leftover, too, if anyone would like any... unfort., they're not :mickey: ones, though... :(

Today's high was 42. I know that's balmy for some of you, but it's been in the 60's here recently, so it's quite a change. And now I'm waiting for the weather report to see why they keep saying the words "winter mix".

Did you get that extra money for me yet, Blythe? I may need it to pay my heating bill!

Hi All..I have not been here for a while but thoroughly enjoyed getting caught up. Wow..there sure are some busy people on JQ. Jym, congrats on the wonderful news..will we get a top 7 names list???
Rebecca is my daughter's middle name...Mackenzie Rebecca (DS quickly changed all of that to Kenzie Becca).
BTW, Just baked a batch of Canadian Open Oatmeal cookies (for real!) anyone interested?

Its been chilly here too. We have had freezing fog for the last 3 mornings, and slip sliding down our hill is getting old. Don't you think if its going to be this cold, it might as well just snow? :D

Winter mix can not be good. And that is cold for you. Are you snuggling up to your DH for warmth ??

Not excited for Friday..I work the weekend....I have taken the charge position and have discovered that I REALLY hate paperwork. Between chart audits and CHF audits and handwashing audits and ....ready for this one....bowel movement audits!!!! I never get to do patient care anymore...does wanting a demotion make me a bad person????
That's most of the reason I'm not a nurse anymore. Having to chart that home care patients were sicker than the actually were so Medicare would continue to pay for their skilled visits was the last straw.

Jym's a nurse? Yes. Scary huh.

WOW..I knew it..only a nurse could have the dry sense of humor that you have!

I am just glad to see that I am not the only one who does not like the "tweaking" of the numbers etc.

So..are we going to have a JQ baby shower?

Good morning all (and just for Miss Hagen das) Happy Friday ! Just eight more hours of work until you can have two days off to do whatever makes your heart happy !

The coffee's on so let's get this day started !

But what about the Northwest coast???
Yep... you can have it too ! :D

Well, he's in bed, and I'm in the office, so nope, not right now. Besides, he doesn't like it when I put my cold hands on him. :freeze:

Do you think it's wrong to like Mondays better then Friday ? :confused:

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

Today's high was 42. I know that's balmy for some of you, but it's been in the 60's here recently, so it's quite a change. And now I'm waiting for the weather report to see why they keep saying the words "winter mix".

Did you get that extra money for me yet, Blythe? I may need it to pay my heating bill!

42? Your high was 42? Balmy? Nah - that's downright warm!!! We are in the 20s.. and this weekend.. the highs will only be around 10 or so - with NEGATIVE windchill factor... :freeze:

My heating bill for last month was $200 (we have a one story ranch - and keep the temp set at 65!) I'm dreading my next one with this big cold snap.

Is anyone excited that tomorrow is Friday?

:here: :clappy: :yay:

Good morning all (and just for Miss Hagen das) Happy Friday ! Just eight more hours of work until you can have two days off to do whatever makes your heart happy !

Do you think it's wrong to like Mondays better then Friday ?

Actually my work day is 9 hours. From 8 until 5pm...Happy Friday to you too!

Is it wrong to like Mondays better than Fridays? No - not wrong... but definitly strange and weird! But.. this is Pogo we are talking about! :fresh:

Just a tad giddy last night. Get out much? :D

I've always liked it (Alex) as a boy's name, well 'til I met SOME people.
The scary part is, I was thinking about Maria for a girl. We have several in the family.

I feel a hug coming on......"love ya' man (sniff)" :grouphug:

Hi guys... got back awhile ago from my friend's house... we watched "Strictly Ballroom" and "Moulin Rouge". Anybody seen them??Moulin Rouge is a favourite of mine -- Any guesses why? I love the Elephant Song....

BTW, Just baked a batch of Canadian Open Oatmeal cookies (for real!) anyone interested?:hi: Hey Michelle! Nice to see you! I'll have one please!

So..are we going to have a JQ baby shower?How about at the Grand Floridian in the Tea Room?

My heating bill for last month was $200 (we have a one story ranch - and keep the temp set at 65!) I'm dreading my next one with this big cold snap.
:hi: Di! Have you put in a programmable thermostat? One will save you $$ for sure. I hope you stay warm. Do you have gas or do you heat with oil? Maybe Alex or Pogo can help you with the gas... :D

Hi All..I have not been here for a while but thoroughly enjoyed getting caught up.
Good to see you again. Hope you didn't get too much eye strain catching up.

Jym's a nurse? Yes. Scary huh.
Good for you.

My heating bill for last month was $200 (we have a one story ranch - and keep the temp set at 65!)
We should be so luck as to have an electric bill as low as $200 in the winter here (even with moderate temps that we have). It's supposed to go into the low twenties for the next two or three nights, and that really racks up the bills when you have nothing but heat pumps.

Is it Friday already? Wow.

Oh, the luncheon went well yesterday. I even remembered most of their names.

Absolutely!! Glad to see you (and your cookies) back around here!!

Don't you think if its going to be this cold, it might as well just snow?
Amen sister!! We aren't looking at much snow around here, either, as it's supposed to be arctic cold this weekend... I don't think we're supposed to get above 6 on Sunday. :freeze: Hopefully nobody will light themselves on fire again to keep warm... :blush:

Oh yea.... Jym has been real busy !

So!! Another nurse -- yeah!! I think I remember that about you from earlier posts... just be careful... there are lots of "sick" folks around here to take care of!! :D

I here you on the audits and paperwork... it's one of the reasons I don't do charge!! I can't believe the stuff they monitor!!

Jym's a nurse? Yes. Scary huh.
You know, I had a funny feeling when I heard your schedule last fall... glad to know you're one of the good guys!! :yes: Plus, you pretty much gave it away with your po, ac and hs comment!!

Just eight more hours of work until you can have two days off to do whatever makes your heart happy !

Do you think it's wrong to like Mondays better then Friday ?
Sigh... I'm the reverse this weekend... only 14 more hours of freedom and then 3 more nights of work...

No, Neighbor, not wrong... just twisted... :D

Well, we don't live in England, do we?
We don't??? :blush:

You weren't there and you were very much missed. I do have the trivia challenges on my puter. Would you like a copy?
Doesn't decaf tea count towards water intake? And isn't it really not how much goes in but the color of what comes out that counts to show that you're sufficiently hydrated? (Sorry if that's TMI. :blush:) On that note, I think I need to take my leave. Gotta get to my weekly online support group. We aren't your support group? I would like the trivia thing please and thanks!

And I think non caf tea counts as it's the caffine that's the directic but I just don't know.

Long time no see...and you may have hit a new TMI threshold there. (Or if not if charts of that stuff are okay how come everyone gets all freaked by EBIDTA?)
