DDA Chapter 8
This thread is a continuation of the DDA Trouble Free Zone and DDA Chapter 7.

DDA originally stood for Disney Design Addicts as most of the posters were addicted to making t-shirt designs. Those designers are still here and many many more people have joined our friendly community. We think that DDA still fits whether you be a Disney Design Addict, Dear Disney Addict, Disney Dream-aholics, Disney Dream Addicts or whatever other acronymn you'd like to throw in there.

Welcome to all the returning posters and welcome to any newcomers that might like to chat about design and all things Disney.

Copied from Deb because she worded it so well.

Has Jen left yet, Have a Wonderful Cruise!

Bernadette - What a CUTE outfit!
The hat I found for Emma is actually a little bit big on me, so hopefully it will fit her! I'll try to get it mailed out on Tuesday.

Poor Lucy! I hope she feels better soon!

Oh, and I had the strangest and potentially dangerous encounter with the Pizza Hut driver. He got verbally abusive, raised his hands at me, yelled, called names... the Church staff all heard and came running and had to escort him out. It was wild.

If I'm not back today, have a great one!

What did you do to the pizza guy to send him into a rage? I'm glad you are OK! I hope you phoned the Pizza Hut and told them about him!

Tuesday, they are coming here to fix my windshield. The insurance company scheduled the appointment between 8am to noon. Hopefully it is not much later then that. I can not sit home all day. Although I would love to.

Becky, you have the worst luck! I hope your weekend is good!

Glynis, your MIL is a whack job. Wait, I said that last time. Well, she's still a whack job. I hope Alan doesn't let her get to him. Can she assign guardianship of a disabled adult to someone without their permission?
I was wondering about that the other day because I know a mom with a disabled child who has EVERY intention of making her older DS care for the younger one when they grow up. We always wondered what she would do if the older one told her to go pound sand and refused to take on responsibility for the younger one.

I haven't packed a thing. I don't want to go away this weekend. I had my toes done (but they don't have palm trees like Debbie's), I bought more stamps, I mailed the bills, I went to the mall and bought myself some shoes. But I still don't want to pack and I still don't want to go away this weekend.
I have pretty much convinced myself that our August trip is going to suck. (Excuse me while I indulge in a pity party.) I have read many reports lately of filthy rooms, rooms with no A/C for multiple nights, CMs who don't give a rat's butt, and general disdain for DVCers at AKL. We LOVE AKL, and it is our home resort! But apparently they aren't handling the DVC section very well. The bus situation seems to have tanked property wide so pretty much everybody is waiting 45 minutes to an hour for a bus. I still don't want to rent a car. I tried looking for one and it fried my brain. SSR just seems to have bus issues, but since I have never stayed there I am nervous about whether or not we will like it there. If we don't like it that's going to be a very bad thing, because if no bus ever comes to take us to the parks we could be stuck at SSR for 6 solid days! I am just feeling out of sorts today and I am having a bit of a temper tantrum.

Back to your regularly scheduled DDA broadcast.

Thanks, Theresa. DH said I can cancel the tickets but the change fee is as much as the original fare so that would just be silly.

Yeah, well, shouldn't you be packing something?

[tink2020]

Well, I've already snapped at her two or three times. The hostess in me is mortified, but the rest of me doesn't care and is ready for them to go home.

I am sorry...but snap away!!

I think MIL's who need their eyelids detached slowly is the order of the day....who wants me first, you or Glynis??

If my trip is issue free it is all good. I expect wackiness in my daily life. 5 of my co-workers have had either a parent or grandparent die within the past week. So my issues are miniscule.
