Claudette, you bought your french Live á Las Vegas from Amazon.fr, is that what you meant?

 

I could have gone that way as well but since I bought the DVD from CDWow before and got the wrong copy, I decided to go for Archambault and I wrote to them and asked if they could confirm this.

 

Shoot! I don't know, but the front says Live á Las Vegas, so I assumed that is the French version. I hope it is the righ one... I have to admit the price is what bothers me, because it is waaaay more on other websites...

 

When you receive the copy be aware that there should nothing be written in english on the back of the cover. It's all in french.

If it's written in english, then it's not the french copy

How much was shipping? I'm not sure how much it would cost to ship it from france to the US.

 

Well I live in SA, which is closer to France than the USA and I payed EUR 8.99 for the shipping (friggen twice the cost of the DVD).

8.99 isn't to bad, not what I thought it would be. I just wish I could find the french verison cheaper than 31 dollars, I don't know if its really worth spending 40 plus dollars for a dvd thats in french. Unless it has english subs, then I will buy it if I get enough money. I googled the distance and SA is much futher from France than the US is. It said it was nearly six thousand miles and the US was three thousand.

Really... My Geography is pretty bad then... lol... maybe I should stick to Maths...

 

But what is bothering me now is the price, so does this DVD cost you 31 dollars when you convert EUR 4.59 to dollars, because that is a lot...

[angelil78]

Thanks for the archambault link, Ester! I just placed my order, I can't wait for it to come!

 

You are welcome they have a quick delivery!

But you have to sign for it when it arrives, at least my friend in usa needed to

Yes, I bought it from Amazon.fr. because the website that you posted doesn't ship to South-Africa. The front says Live á Las Vegas, so I assumed that is the French version. I hope it is the righ one... I have to admit the price is what bothers me, because it is waaaay more on other websites

 

aaah right, yes they don't ship to other than usa and Canada. I was lucky that I had a friend in usa that shipped it to me in Iceland

 

I'm getting excited that you are all getting the DVD

 

Frida- there are no new outfits in the extras, sorry

I know, I wish I had downloaded those videos when they were on youtube. all I really wanted the dvd for was the other behind the scene's stuff that isn't on the US dvd. The price is whats killing me too. 31 USD or around that, I did the conversion online and it said it was 31 something USD. Plus atleast 10 dollars for shipping, that's gonna be around 41 dollars or more with tax and everything. The US dvd was only like 16 when my friend bought it for me for christmas when it came out in 07.

 

What is the currency called in SA? I used XE.com to convert

 

Live rates at 2009.12.03 20:26:46 UTC

31.00 EUR = 343.615 ZAR

Euro South Africa Rand

1 EUR = 11.0844 ZAR 1 ZAR = 0.0902172 EUR

 

 

OMG I just converted the price for the US and it went up!!

Live rates at 2009.12.03 20:27:46 UTC

31.00 EUR = 46.7772 USD 46 dollars are you kidding me? I am not paying that much for that dvd. No way.

Euro United States Dollars

1 EUR = 1.50894 USD 1 USD = 0.662716 EUR

Yeah I was so mad when the videos weren't on Youtube anymore

But I mean nothing beats watching it from the DVD

[Claudette]

Belle Celine, from which website are you ordering. Try this link: http://www.amazon.fr/gp/offer-listing/B001...p;condition=new

 

I'm pretty sure that is the French version, because it says Live à Las Vegas - A New Day... on the cover of the DVD and Céline instead of Celine like on the normal English version. The price starts at EUR 3.78. If you convert that to dollar it is about: 5.70 dollars, which sounds right to me. There is no way I would buy a DVD for R343. I can buy three DVDs for that price (unless it is the TC DVD with loads of extra footage ).

Now correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Rene previously state that the trips to NY before in August and October were the 2nd and 3rd attempts at IVF and the most recent trip in November was the 4th? Did they not do the IVF then? Because what is being said now is that they are going to try a 4th time, not that they'd already tried a 4th time. So does that mean the last trip she just went I guess to get the shots, blood works, etc that goes along with the procedure before they could actually do the IVF? Or maybe she went to harvest more eggs?

I'm not sure if I wanted a used dvd, you don't really know the condition of it till it arrives and what if you get a dvd that is broken, scratched and doesn't work? I may consider ordering a used if I know for sure its not going to be damanged when I recieve it.

No, August was the first time. October was the second time and November the third, so this would be the fourth time...

 

''Neuf'' means ''new'' not used. Or am I confused?

[angelil78]

yes, Neuf means New

 

 

I was also wondering if they are using a sperm donor this time since René had the cancer treatment, his sperm would kinda be "dead" and he had lazy sperm before hmmm

I'm confused, I can't keep it straight on how many times they've tried and when. To many conflicting statements. I guess this is the 4th but I thought November was the fourth

I don't imagine they would, Celine would want the baby to be biologically Rene's I assume. He hasn't had cancer treatments for some years now so it would reason that he would be healthy enough by now to produce sperm that was in a condition they could use for the IVF. I mean I don't know the details about fertility after you have cancer treatments so I maybe totally wrong.

I'm sure they had enough of René's sperm frozen years ago... Remember Céline was lucky with RC, but they couldn't have known from the beginning that it will work the first time... so they had to be prepared incase it didn't work the first time... Edited December 3, 2009 at 09:29 PM by Claudette

[angelil78]

I don't know. I hope he can produce.

But oh well, doesn't matter. As long as she gets pregnant

[Lou555]

Who is sexiest Canuck? There was a poll about that.

 

It was singers, not politicians, who dominated. Overall, when both genders and all age demographics' numbers were crunched, Twain, Céline Dion and Bublé finished 1-2-3 in the survey.

thanks frida for those pictures!

[MTJ]

Wait. No, the whole point of the IVF is that Rene can't produce sperm after the chemo he did in 1999/2000. As far as I know they harvest eggs from Celine and use Rene's frozen sperm, then re-implant the eggs into Celine.

I thought they did it because they thought the treatments might leave Rene unable to produce sperm? Also wasn't part of the reason they did IVF was because that they found the problem was that Rene had a low sperm count that was before the cancer and treatments.

 

Okay I was right, check page 126/129 of For Keeps

 

Before Rene's began cancer treatments, doctors warned that he could become temporarily sterile, so they planned to freeze some of his sperm. Then they found out his sperm count was already to low for normal in-vitro-fertilization treatments. Celine's obstetrician, Dr Ronald Ackerman suggested that they try a procedure known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection, where one isolate sperm cell is ijnected into an egg, then placed back into the uterus. With Rene so sick and Celine on tour, they weren't ready for Celine to get pregnant yet, so they put the plans on hold-waiting for the right time.

I was watching ET Canada and they had news on Celines Documentary that is gonna hit theaters 2009. :xmas_ohmy: :clap:

Who can say... I guess the point is that it's tricky and may not work.

 

I want Celine to have a little gay son so he can grow up and be my boyfriend and Celine will be my mom!

Yes IVF is tricky but the intracytoplasmic sperm injection is even more tricky and probably has a less likley chance of working than IVF. What do you mean who can say? That is what Celine said in the book, that's the truth. They did freeze the sperm because they thought he might not be able to produce any sperm after the cancer treatments and then they found out it would be harder for her to get pregnant because of his low sperm count. Now as for the sperm they are using now for the IVF who knows if its the frozen or if he produced more and I don't really need to know that's their own personal business.

WAIT A MINUTE!! that's MY plan!!

 

 

 

I think Céline is doing IVF because it is very hard for her to get pregnant. because of the tight busy scheduals she had, her period wasn't frequenty anymore and her uterus was/is stressed, which makes it hard to get pregnant.... I think René still produces sperm (JEEZZZZZ it's like talking about your parents!! ) because they had one egg left from all those years ago, and I think now they are using new ones...

Exactly! It is so funny how people always assume that because Rene is ''old'', he is the one with the problem...

Why do you think he jacked off to a playboy magazine in a test tube ten years ago? So they can have enough semen to sperminate celine's vajayjay a thousand times, even if rené's dead!

 

They don't need a sperm donor. They have everything. They just need fresh eggs....And celine's eggs are not that fresh anymore. She's over 40. An IVF doesn't work all the time, even if you have the freshest eggs and quickest swimmers. It's trial, error, and chance. And ethically, I think it'd be better if they failed. But that's just my point of view.

 

Ok, I'll stop here cause discussing about celine's uterus and rené's stuff is not my favorite topic. Let's go back to music.

Good grief. Some people are a little too comfortable...

i agree

[Belle Céline]

I personally don't need to know about Rene's sperm. I was just answering a question and it happened to discuss something I rather don't care to know about lol. Celine is very open clearly, but I think somethings should be kept private. IE Rene's sperm Edited December 4, 2009 at 06:19 PM by Belle Céline

[angelil78]

We are just as comfortable as Céline is

[Belle Céline]

lol I'm not comfortable discussing Rene's sperm sorry.

[angelil78]

really? I love it just kidding!!! really I'm only kidding.

 

I thought this convo was interresting. Not because of Renés sperm but how it all works, like after cancer and IVF. I thought we were talking about a lot more than him personally.

I personally have an interrest in IVF as I've actually got a few friends going through this. It's a lot more common that we know about. And even have two co-workers going through IVF. One after cancer treatment of her hubby.
