Rave: I am back home from an uneventful business trip to Madrid.
Mega Rave: I met my first fodorite in person and she was just as nice as I expected!!!!
Rant: I left for Madrid on Saturday and I am not sure exactly what has happened over the week in Fodorville 8(
Rant/Rave: After arriving at 11:00PM at my house last night after 18hrs on the move between Madrid and San Juan, I am tired and will not go in to work.
Rave: Thanksgiving week is coming and we are going to the beach
. DD still does not know that we are going to her favorite place so it will be a goooood surprise.

Rave:Good news for Frankie the Dachsund- he's healing from last week's injuries very nicely. Was able to unwrap bandages two days ago,so he does'nt look like Mummydog anymore!
Rave:Thanks to Fodor's for taking the exchange between myself and fdecarlo off of the "Thank the servicemen" post.I should have let that person's incendiary comment go,but I didn't. Black and blues on a perfect post,and I apologize to everyone who saw the exchange before the editor's removed them.
My only mini rant is being switched to midnight to 830am shift for two week s for holiday madness...sleep deprivation and an hourlong commute don't mix!
Have a great day everyone!

Forgot a major rave: Leaving Sat to spend our 45th wedding anniversary at a lovely b&b in Hot Springs and enjoy a day at the Buckstaff Bath House! Then it's on to Houston for Thanksgiving with our son and his family.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

It is a cold Friday morning here in central VA. I believe we are at a whopping 25 degrees???Ouch! A busy weekend ahead. Cotillion and Soccer tournaments.
Rave: This time of year with the colorful leaves and the smell of baked goods!
Rant: Cleaning the house and shopping, shopping, shopping. Between now and Thanksgiving, I will probably hit the grocery store everyday because I am an idiot without the LIST!
Rave: Seeing my kids have fun with their Grandparents and all that yummy food!!!
Have a great weekend all!!

What Starrsville said.
We've been through changes here before and weathered them well, but this is more than a temporary ding. I'm not sure it can ever be what it was.
OK...I'll speak my mind. Peter Kay acted/is acting like an immature twit. He made a huge misstep but is not a big enough person to admit to the same and rectify it.

Rave: It's Friday and only a 2 day work week next week! Woo Hoo!!!
Rave: Have lost 8 lbs. in 2 wks. Lookout wedding dresses!!
Rave: Finally finalized a caterer for our wedding. It's so nice to have most of the major things out of the way. Just dj, photographer, flowers, and, of course, the dress left.
Major Rant: We finally looked at the ONLY house that's in our price range in LP. It has absolutely no character and needs a lot of work!!! I don't know what to do. Do we buy it and feel like we're settling just because it's the only one in our price range or do we wait and pray that something will come our way? I hate to not buy it and kick ourselves in 3 yrs because we still haven't found a house, yet I hate to buy it and find that in 3 mths an even nicer, bigger house in our range is on the market. Oh, this sure does suck!
Rant: It's snowing and cold here!
Congratulations seetheworld!! \/
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I know I'm thankful to have a place like this to come to.

Rave: I cannot believe the turn my life has taken recently. Two weeks ago I had an old car that I was afraid to drive, a job that was ending, and a concern for my health. (I didn't talk about the health concern on the board.) In the past 2 weeks I have a new job, a new car, and best of all, a clean bill of health. What a load off, I feel like I am back in the land of the living.
Rave: Congrats to stw!!
Rant: Changes on this board. Our input is no longer welcome and some of our best people are now banned. I have always enjoyed this board so much, I sincerely hope that someday things will be back on track.
Happy weekend and a happy and safe Thanksgiving to all.

Rant: Loss of direct flights between St. Louis and UK
Rave: Safe journey back once again to the UK to visit 86 year old mum and other family. Wonderful weather in the UK during our stay.
Rant: Very sad to see my mum is starting to feel her age, short term memory loss etc.
Alya: Temperature in the UK is in the upper 40's with sunshine.
I too was gone during whatever the upset was or is. jorr thanks for posting.

Rave A beautiful sunny, though cold day in MA.
A fun day at Providence Place with daughter this weekend.
Thanksgiving in Newport, R.I., with Hoosier's brother and sister-in-law, who is a gourmet cook, so know it will be wonderful. Plan to be "tourists" and do the Cliffwalk as well as visit the mansions decorated for the Holiday.
No rants: Have a Happy Thanksgiving all, hope many on the "other" place will return.

iceeu2, congrats on the anniversary!
indy, you're leaving on ANOTHER trip? Don't you ever stay home?
Rave: My DH is home after being gone for a week. I missed him terribly and it's nice to have my other half back.
Rant: It took him longer to travel between our main hub island and our own island than it did to travel from Houston to the islands in general.
Six hour layovers only fifteen minutes from home certainly are no fun. If his flight was delayed one more time last night, I think I was going to pull my hair out.
Rave: DH brought me a home a beautiful coffee table book titled "Travel the World." The photos are wonderful eye candy and there are places listed in the book that I've never even heard of! This oughta add a hefty amount of places to our wish list.
Rave: The week-long street party in front of my house is finally over and I can begin to get some sleep at night.
Rave: Thank goodness it's Friday!
Have a great weekend everyone.
