My favorite part on this one is the guy who leaps across the table and kicks the crap out of the other guy.

Not to disparage my own gender, but how many times have we seen a guy at the copier pull out the toner cartridge, look at it, and then stick it back in there?!

[Verandah Man]

Number 2000

:rotfl2: That's my favorite part too along with the guy who throws his monitor at the guy throwing paper airplanes at him, then he keeps on working like he has a monitor! And honestly, NONE of the guys I work with can ever figure out why the copier is beeping at them. Around my office, the machinery is womens work. I did one time have the toner cartridge form a dust cloud around me, and of course I had on a white shirt. It never fails.

Anyone watch Cashmere Mafia tonight??????

I recorded it, was it good?

[hmansure]

I was telling DH about our Beavis and Butthead posts while at Bob Evans for dinner tonight and he started his own impersonations of them. I think there is going to be a B&B club. The best I can do is pull my shirt over my head and stick my arms up. :)

For the fans....

http://soundboard.com/sb/beavis_and_butthead_audio.aspx

#14 "In these hills" is a classic that I love. Listen to a few and start working on those impersonations!

G'night all.

I am an amateur! Just ask my co-workers that I went out with last Friday night! :laughing: I had every intention of drinking more on the cruise but I think my bar bill for the week was around $20.00. That's pathetic I tell you!

But frugal!!! :goodvibes TBH last night my DH told me I was all talk and reminded me we only had 2 Konk Koolers on Castaway Cay and 2 Razztinis - the rest of the time we were sipping celebratory champers...

I don't think I've ever drunk so much champagne as I did on our cruise!!! We just kept finding bottles of Dom Perignon in our stateroom!! :thumbsup2 ;)

[CustardTart]

Hadn't previously posted a family pic.... From most recent WDW trip.

Oh wow!!! Small world - well, small DISworld... ;)

[CustardTart]

So we are not picking on blondes.

Two Scotsmen had been pals since childhood and had shared everything over the years. One day, Angus won a rare bottle of Scotch in a door prize.
Immediately, Jock says "Open it up and we'll have a dram."
"Naw, ah'm goin' tae save it for a special occasion."
Birthdays came and went, his anniversaries came and went, but Jock could never get Angus to open the bottle.
Finally Angus had a heart attack, and was laying on his deathbed. He motioned for his old friend to come closer. "Jock, remember that rare bottle of Scotch I won?"
"Aye, ah certainly do, Angus!"
"Weell, ah like ye tae do me a favor Jock, my dear friend."
"Aye, anything ye ask Angus."
"When ah'm dead, wid ye take that bottle an' open it up--"
"Aye, Angus, then what?"
"Wid ye pour it over ma grave?"
"Pour it over yer grave? My god Angus. It's 40 year old Scotch! But I'll do it for ye."
"Oh, ye're a real pal Jock, and ah'll appreciate that."
Jock says, "There's just one thing Angus, wid ye mind if ah filter it through my kidneys first?"

:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :lmao:

[CustardTart]

:rotfl: Since men can't physically experience that, they must live it vicariously through us women. :rotfl2:

Oooh, very good!!! I like that explanation!!!

[CustardTart]

As our kids get older, lets home we dont get a letter like this.


A Mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see that his
bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.

Then she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was
addressed to "Mom" With the worst premonition she opened the envelope
with trembling hands and read the letter.


Dear Mom,:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope
with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But
it's not only the passion...Mom she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be
very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt
anyone.We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other
people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy. In the meantime we will
pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She
deserves it. Don't worry Mom. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of
myself. Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love,
Your Son Jon


P.S. Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report
card that's in my center desk drawer.

I love you.
Call me when it's safe to come home.
Love it!!! http://bestsmileys.com/clapping/2.gifhttp://bestsmileys.com/clapping/2.gifhttp://bestsmileys.com/clapping/2.gif

So you are that close to London?? LUCKY!! I went on a business trip there in March 2002 (6 months pregnant and sick at that) and it was rainy, freezing, gloomy, but I fell in love with the place. :love: Actually I spent 2 days in London then 7 days in Nottingham. I was so sick and jetlagged I don't remember alot about the trip. I cannot wait to go back though! DH is yearning to take me to Germany, as he lived there for 2 years, so my return trip will probably happen when I'm too old to enjoy and remember it!

[PrincessMom2002]

For my 1,000th post, have a good day everyone!! We finally got our accounts payable closed at work so now is time to reconcile everything. UGH. Can't wait to start that. :headache:

Sue is such a sweetie, we got to spend quite a bit of time with Sue and Vicki in August 2005, we still keep in touch, via e-mail, snail mail and a phone call every now and then.

[CustardTart]

Never had Dom but we did have a bottle of the Fairy Tale Cuvee with our REAS package. It was very good and I intend on getting some again!

That's what we booked but were sprinkled with a little Disney pixiedust: coz it was our 25th wedding anniversary and received an upgrade... :cloud9:

Yes - my DH works in the City and he doesn't like a long commute (been there, done that) so we're pretty settled here. I can be up in town in around 20 minutes which is great for meeting friends/DH/DD... :thumbsup2

...DH is yearning to take me to Germany, as he lived there for 2 years, so my return trip will probably happen when I'm too old to enjoy and remember it!

We lived in Paris for a couple of years - that's the city I fell in love with! :lovestruc We still have a tiny apartment there, so when DH can step back from work (maybe in 10 years or so if we're lucky) that's where we're going to move to... :goodvibes

[CustardTart]

For my 1,000th post, have a good day everyone!!

Congratulations, Abby!!!! :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo:

Good morning everyone!

I got the quote back from Dreams and it was the same price as Disney's online website...very disappointing. I can book that myself and choose which room I want. Anyone know of any drawbacks to booking online?

Jennifer

[notbernie]

Does anyone know how you find out your Castaway Club number if you've misplaced it? We moved to a new house last summer and who knows where it got packed or even thrown out. I don't see anything on their site that lets you look it up. Will it show up when I make my reservation?

Jennifer

Jennifer
Jennifer, there aren't any drawbacks of booking online - you're in control of the booking so it's all good. :thumbsup2

I believe TAs aren't allowed to discount DCL cruises anymore unless they make some sort of group booking. What you get from DU and the rest is onboard credit of varying amounts. Usually I book online with DCL and then transfer the booking to DU to get all the OBC going...

I use DU because they will advise me if/when certain preferred staterooms become available - it's easier than keep contacting DCL...

Email DCL using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the home page and select "Castaway Club Questions" in the subject options list. Ask for your CC details and they will get back to you with the number... :thumbsup2

Jennifer,

I did that once so call DCL and just tell them they will look it up and arrange for new cards to be sent out to you asap.....
Honestly, check around the better price and OBC you can get the better. If you want the name and number of the TA:, ED, Abby and I have booked with she is Great and like I said if we get enough booked under her then she will give us the "group" rate...My Oct. cruise price has dropped twice since we have such a large group sailing.....Let me know......

Krisitn

[kritter]

DW would kill me if I took mine to WDW. I now have it set to automatically turn off at 7PM, too.

Oh gosh DH is on it while we are in line for rides at MK.. The kids hollar at him.. But not sooooo much as before at the old job, but checks it everynight/morning while we are away.............................................. ...........

[CustardTart]

DW would kill me if I took mine to WDW. I now have it set to automatically turn off at 7PM, too.

I did that once so call DCL and just tell them they will look it up and arrange for new cards to be sent out to you asap.....
Honestly, check around the better price and OBC you can get the better. If you want the name and number of the TA:, ED, Abby and I have booked with she is Great and like I said if we get enough booked under her then she will give us the "group" rate...My Oct. cruise price has dropped twice since we have such a large group sailing.....Let me know......

First time was when we got married in 1989, was stay off site at Raddision Main gate, First resort on site was Caribbean Beach in 1990.

How fab!!! I'm desperately hoping my DD wants to get married in WDW but she shows no sign of wanting to tie the knot at all - despite the fact that she's been dating this guy for 9 years!!!! :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: Kids, eh????

What does everyone have planned for the weekend?????


Ok, Time for another question:


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ON THE MAGIC?????????????????????????????? AND WHY??????

[PrincessMom2002]

CHeck this out:

http://www.bestviral.com/video/6629/dont_ever_drink_from_hotel_glasses

It's ironic that you posted this. A couple of weeks ago when I was looking for a hotel for our New Year's Eve stay, I found articles and threads related to this subject. So when we got to the hotel I told DH and kids by no means to use the glasses. DH looked at me strangely and I briefly told him he did not want to know how they clean them and don't ever use them. (prior to reading about it we would use them) Now watching the video you posted, I just explained to him in detail why. This is absolutely disgusting actually seeing it! I know some hotels may think plastic cups are cheap looking but if they aren't going to properly sanitize glasses then that's what they need to do. Thanks for the video! As gross as it is, people need to be aware. It's bad enough that hotels don't change the sheets between visitors and that bedspreads are washed maybe once a month. And on that note, I checked our beds when we checked in last week and noticed that the sheets did not look fresh. Freshly cleaned and changed sheets do not have the mattress design imprinted on them. The whole thing really grossed me out. I'm a bit of a germaphobe. :scared: And the hotel we stayed at was not cheap!

[PrincessMom2002]

Congrats Ed! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: Just think how many you're gonna have by the time we leave for the cruise.... :scared1:

Probably 5,000 at least! :rotfl2:

[PrincessMom2002]

So that would be called a Rum run here ? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Makes me think of the Beer Run song on Bob and Tom:

B double E double R U N Beer Run

So it could be R U M R U N Rum Run

[CustardTart]

What does everyone have planned for the weekend?????

We-ell, my men (DH & DS22) are going to watch a soccer game - they support a team called Aston Villa who Tom Hanks also supports!!! How crazy is that? Anyway, they're out for the day and I'm planning to go to an open day at my local Uni - I saw an ad about psych nurse retraining and that's what I used to do, so I'd like to see if they'd want me... ;)

[CustardTart]

...WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ON THE MAGIC?????????????????????????????? AND WHY??????

My fave place was our stateroom 8602 - the space, the fixtures and fittings, the verandah, the walk-in wardrobe... :love: :love: :love: I was blown away when we walked in the stateroom - I actually shed a tear... :cloud9:

[PrincessMom2002]

Have you got big feet???? :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl:

OMG! :lmao: :rotfl2: As a matter of fact, I do! (how did you know?)

I have a funny story about my big feet. Last Friday I went out with co-workers, so I'd been drinking. Someone's husband was giving me a hard time about my tattoo, making fun of it, saying it was cliche and small. So I whipped my leg above the table and pulled my pant leg up to dispute his claims. I was sitting next to our Credit Manager but she had her head turned so didn't see what I was doing. She turned around and yelled "OMG how big are your feet?!" My foot was right in her face when she turned around. It was hilarious. Probably a "you had to be there moment" but, yes, I do have big feet. :rotfl:

[CustardTart]

Probably 5,000 at least! :rotfl2:

Yeah... and the rest!!!! :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2:

[PrincessMom2002]

Way to go Congrates on 2200

Yeah Karen! Pretty soon we'll just have to make a deal about the thousand ones because we'll be hitting a hundred one every 10 minutes. :rotfl2:

[PrincessMom2002]

Are you giving her motrin/tylenol or anything?

[PrincessMom2002]

I have a funny to share:

I was helping DD with her homework. She had to spell the word butterfly. So I was telling her what letters to write. At the same time, I was paying attention to DS's spelling words, so I was kind of distracted telling DD the letters. When she was all done I looked at the word and busted out laughing. I forgot to tell her to put an er in the word, so she spelled buttfly. :rotfl2: That got a good laugh for a couple of minutes from the kids.

Oh, then DH was quizzing DS on spelling words and he told him to spell the word skies, but I didn't hear the word he said, just saw him having DS rewrite the letters. DS got it wrong, and I chided him because he got it right when I quizzed him on Tues. Turns out DH thought the word was skis! No wonder DS got it wrong! He had never spelled the word skis before. DH wasn't too happy that I pointed out he said the word wrong, and he thought I was saying it wrong! The spelling rule this week is change Y to I and ad ES. Even singular skis is ski. DUH! :rotfl:

[kritter]
