Yuk. We were on the fence until last night, when I awoke in agony from my friggin' kidney stone. Luckily, my urologist returned my 1 a.m. phone call, and I didn't have to go into the hospital (just one vicodin and four hours crouching on the bathroom floor). Pain's gone, but I'm totally wiped - and the stone still hasn't passed. So we'll sadly have to pass. Have a wonderful party and a fantastic New Year celebration, everyone!

Jesse!!!! That stone needs to come out! Make that your body's New Year's resolution.

We'll miss you and H. If you change your mind, come on down.

Pru, don't worry. It will be fine if you're naked. ;) I have some extra long strands of pearls if you need to borrow them.

I'm bowing out also....Just not up for it. Pain is not lessening much, so best to stick around home.

Diane, what happened????

Torn ligaments in my shoulder...On Medical Leave from Disney till at least the 11th, but Doc said could take a couple of months to heal. Not sure how I did it.....possibly lifting benches in the Hub before/after fireworks, but Doc says could have been anything.

Ack - feel better everyone!

Did you wait until the benches were cleared of guests?

Dang, forgot that part!

Bah. Went to do a fitting of the dress, since I had time to whip it together, and it was super unflattering. So, I guess I'm going in pearls, headband, and a feather boa. NA said I could come naked, so you've all been appropriately warned.

I've heard of getting stoned on New Year's, but that is not the way to do it.

Jesse, I've been down that painful road several times, and so, very sorry. Yowch.

For that matter, Wolfy and all others, I'm declaring pain officially banished !
