10/24/2009 - Bash on the Boat (I'm with BOB) - Thread #3

[Karen Mouse]

was that booking on board the ship?

We did book onbaord but just for a dummy date *** our date hadnt been released yet.

The day Disney released them I rang up and transfered my reservation to this date and asked for that specific room with the free window.

[cntkg1]

:lmao: :lmao: No, Cath got it right - it was the free window I have next time:rotfl2:


Drat! And I thought I wuz sooooo smart. :confused3

[GOS]

Hiya Cath:goodvibes

If I remember rightly you too like the odd drop of wine;)
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g41/kjmason/P1020560.jpg

but from the look on Sean's face he wasnt too keen on that glass:rotfl2:

We did the afternoon wine tasting and the only one I liked was the Rosa Regale. The others we too dry.

[Karen Mouse]

Not me Karen...stick to your weight loss goals. Deny the strength of the merlot-side young karen-walker!:rotfl:

The gravitational pull of the merlot is too strong to resist :lmao: ...

I've resisted so far - maybe just a little one later;)

[medicalman]

:lmao: :lmao: No, Cath got it right - it was the free window I have next time:rotfl2:

are you in a cat 11 with window.
we were in a cat 9 with window on deck 2, that was great and we have booked the same room again for next time. thats so we wont get lost as many times and have to carry a map wherever we went:rotfl2:

[Verandah Man]

I guess Neil!! :lmao:


That was going to be my second guess............:lmao:

[GOS]

Ok,

I have a teeny tiny quiz - you have to look at the ohoto below nad guess whats missing:rolleyes1

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g41/kjmason/P1020468.jpg

Plankton and Neil?

[Karen Mouse]

Your "free" window??? :confused3

:thumbsup2 Correct:cool1:

We did the afternoon wine tasting and the only one I liked was the Rosa Regale. The others we too dry.

You actually remember the names of them?:eek: - gosh!.... I just drank them:lmao: .... I just preteneded to sniff and swirl etc when he looked my way:rotfl2: ... apart from that I just drank and enjoyed:rotfl2:

[Verandah Man]

Us English ladies are like the queen - we dont toot, right girls:rotfl2:



Yeah, that's what all the "ladies" say..............:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Verandah Man]

:lmao: :lmao: No, Cath got it right - it was the free window I have next time:rotfl2:


Yea!!! I was right, but my post hadn't shown up yet, and no, I didn't read ahead either............:rotfl2:

[Karen Mouse]

we were in a cat 9 with window on deck 2, that was great and we have booked the same room again for next time. thats so we wont get lost as many times and have to carry a map wherever we went:rotfl2:

No, its a cat 10 this time but the room used to be a higher category but the view is slightly obscured so they dropped the category to an "inside" cat 10 category but we still get the window for "free". We're still on deck 5 - we like it there - one floor down to loads of stuff inc. those squashy comfortable loungers:cloud9: and real close to the kids club so we can throw Ellis in:rotfl:

[GOS]

I'll play...

I used to collect china dolls, but haven't added one to my collection in several years.

I have a small collection of Willow Tree Angels and figurines:

http://www.demdaco.com/WillowTree.aspx

for those of you who haven't seen them...

I am currently trying not to add to any collections as I have a small house and I'm quickly running out of room.

I also collect memories...captured on photos and eventually displayed in scrapbooks for me to enjoy :goodvibes

Yes....we have them over here Jen and they are rather lovely.

[GOS]

:thumbsup2 Correct:cool1:



You actually remember the names of them?:eek: - gosh!.... I just drank them:lmao: .... I just preteneded to sniff and swirl etc when he looked my way:rotfl2: ... apart from that I just drank and enjoyed:rotfl2:

No just the one I like. :rotfl: :laughing: :rotfl:

What do you collect?:confused3

I used to collect WDCC...... got tons of the stuff but had to stop *** we ran out of foom and Ellis was born so it all had to go into glass cabinets away from little fingers.

I also collect xmas ornaments:rolleyes1 (as some of you already know from my house photos!)

I also collect disney number plates - got about 30 but nowhere to put them. We're going to display them in Ellis' playroom/garage (when we get round to it.:rolleyes: )

I collect pencils ( wierd i know) and crystal figurines.

[Dyerneeds]

Mornin' All. Kind of bummed out this morning. A classmate of Angelina's (age 18) died yesterday. It seems as though he got into a fight and another kid (age 17) stabbed him with a steak knife, the young boy died three hours later at the hospital. So sad.............:sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

The boy's funeral is being held tomorrow because the school's Senior Trip leaves early Saturday morning for WDW.

wow.:eek: so sad.:sad2:
those poor parents.:grouphug:

[Dyerneeds]

[Dyerneeds]

Wow! How did that picture turn sideways? It was ok when I posted it at work this afternoon! :confused3

[Dyerneeds]

That was our room last October - a cat 11 on deck 5.

There are 6 "free" window rooms onboard - I was lucky enough to get through the day the bookings opened and grab one of them. All 6 rooms went to us Bobbers!

Jeff, Nancy,Andy Becky, and Walt and Di have the others.

cheryl gave hers up right?
that means there will be 1 family not a kker up there with you guys.:eek:
gotta feel bad for them.:laughing:
although i doubt you'll see walt and di in the cabin very often.
they seem to spend a lot of their time in rock'n bar d.:rotfl2:

[millerpjm]

Did you not drink much of it Jen? - remind me to sit by you at the Martini tasting;) :lmao: :lmao:

I'm not a big wine or beer drinker (or martinis for that matter)...

My insatiable sweet tooth extends to the bar...strawberry margaritas, amaretto sours, daquiris, things like that.

[millerpjm]

How did you all manage 4 pages since I left work????:eek:

GO GIT CHA MOMMA

A redneck family from the hills was visiting the
city and they were in a mall for the first time in
their lives. The father and son were strolling around
while the wife shopped. They were amazed by
almost everything they saw, but especially by two
shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then
slide back together again.

The boy asked, "Paw, what's at?" The father (never
having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I dunno. I
ain't never seen anything like that in my entire life,
I ain't got no idea'r what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching with
amazement, a old lady in a wheel chair rolled up
to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls
opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room.

The walls closed and the boy
and his father watched the small circular number above
the walls light up sequentially. They continued to
watch until it reached the last number and then the
numbers began to light in the reverse order. Then the
walls opened up again and a gorgeous, voluptuous 24
year-old blonde woman stepped out.

The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman,
said quietly to his son,
"Boy..................go git cha Momma..............."
:lmao:

Update on Sean's grandma:

Sean's mom just called. Grandma is going to be released in the next few days to a skilled nursing facility for some physical therapy and getting as back on her feet as she can. She is off dialysis:cool1: which to me is amazing since she was in total failure this time last week. After her time in the nursing facility, they are hoping she will be well enough to move into a assisted living facility. So we will see, keeping our fingers crossed.

Hey Carrie!

I may have missed you already but good luck!

Can I ask (I think I missed it) what project this is?

Thank you. It came into the house just fine. No you did not miss it. I never mentioned it based on the fact I was not sure if it would turn out. I will try to post a pic tonight.

[MinnMick01]

So here is what I have been working on for the last 3 weeks, in all my spare time. It is our new kitchen table. I have never done a wood project before. So this was a new experience for me. It is just under 4 feet wide and is a little of 6 feet long. The legs are redwood, and the top is solid oak. It would have only taken me two weeks but I used the wrong varnish and had to stripe it off and start over. Then the weather played into the stain drying again. But now it is in the house and ready to use.

I attempted chairs. Will never do that again. The three that I made looked horrible. So for now we are using the chairs we have had and I will buy chairs from an unstained wood place as I have the money to buy them.

[MinnMick01]

Yeah, that's what all the "ladies" say..............:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

You will have to ask Scott about this one. He has discussed it several times with me and my parents. We have been together for 9 years. Married 7 and he can count on one hand how many times he has heard me toot. He keeps telling me that it is ok to toot around him, but I am just a person who does not toot.

[MinnMick01]

HELP!!!! Julia just decided to cut her hair. it is horrible!!!!!!:scared1: Anybody have any ideas on a little girls SHORT haircut that would be sorta cute?

How short did she take it. Mac did the same thing a few months ago. We were able to do what they call an undercut with layers. They took it to the top of her shoulders for the longest length and then layered the rest to even in what she cut.

[MinnMick01]

So what is the cut off page on the threads?

[MinnMick01]

Off to night night land. Good night everyone.

[Karen Mouse]

I collect pencils ( wierd i know).

It is supposed to be 250 pages, but I have seen some mods cut them off quite a bit sooner. I guess when they feel it's time to close it, they do.

So here is what I have been working on for the last 3 weeks, in all my spare time. It is our new kitchen table. I have never done a wood project before. So this was a new experience for me. It is just under 4 feet wide and is a little of 6 feet long. The legs are redwood, and the top is solid oak. It would have only taken me two weeks but I used the wrong varnish and had to stripe it off and start over. Then the weather played into the stain drying again. But now it is in the house and ready to use.

I attempted chairs. Will never do that again. The three that I made looked horrible. So for now we are using the chairs we have had and I will buy chairs from an unstained wood place as I have the money to buy them.

Carrie, it's beautiful! You did a great job! I am in awe....

[millerpjm]

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

Karen - nice to your mom twice in one week?!? :banana: Good girl!

Becky - Glad to hear about Sean's Grandma...:hug:

So far, just another ordinary day for me. :surfweb:

[DISNEYDUET]

What do you collect?:confused3

I used to collect WDCC...... got tons of the stuff but had to stop *** we ran out of foom and Ellis was born so it all had to go into glass cabinets away from little fingers.

I also collect xmas ornaments:rolleyes1 (as some of you already know from my house photos!)

I also collect disney number plates - got about 30 but nowhere to put them. We're going to display them in Ellis' playroom/garage (when we get round to it.:rolleyes: )

Good question Karen! I collect Disney art. Cels, Paintings, sketches, pin art. I used to get one heck of a discount when I worked for the company plus limited cast member release items as well so our house is full!
I also collect antique bunnies.

Woody collects Star War memorabilia and toys.

[DISNEYDUET]

Not me Karen...stick to your weight loss goals. Deny the strength of the merlot-side young karen-walker!:rotfl:

We have a couple of cels - one of Jimini and an evil trio one. They sure are $$$$. I bet that discount used to come in handy;)

[Karen Mouse]

Off for my lunch - low fat cuppa soup and a dish of strawberries:rolleyes:

The worst part is... as soon as Ellis finishes karate tonight I have to whizz him home, get him changed then he's got to go to a birthday party at ..........Pizza Hut:rolleyes:

Imagine going to Pizza Hut and not eating:scared1: - it'll be torture:sad2:

I have to stay and watch 30 kids stuff themselves on delicious pizza:sad2:

Torture I tell you, torture!

[millerpjm]

I'm so excited!

I just got a really cool surprise for my boys off ebay-buy it now.

Ok, so the links didn't work out like I thought they would - I found Star Wars Mickey pins on ebay! I got a Mickey as Luke Skywalker (DS's fave character) for Thomas, and a Jedi Mickey for Pete! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

OPh dear:hug: - I hope you can get it sorted



Another :hug:



:woohoo: great news



Holy cow! - you MADE a table???????

Thats amazing:worship:

Makes my easter hat look a little easy:lmao:

Yes I made the table. I got a bee up my butt. Our old table was falling apart. I have been looking at table and I wanted one that was real wood not the pressed wood. Then I was to picky with what I wanted and could not find anything for under $800 that I liked. So I decided I would try to make one. Low and behold it turned out and it only cost me $247.48 and that included all the wood for the chairs that I decided to trash and the incorrect varnish and striper. All and all not bad.

Did you post pics of your hat. I would love to see. I am not that creative.

[MinnMick01]

Good morning everyone.

Today Mac has half day and Kelsey went to her moms for the weekend. So I have to get my erronds done before 11:30. Then it is off to get her hair cut and our special coffee shop. Then she is off to grandmas for the night. And I can scrapbook all night. :banana:

[oybolshoi]

I made a table once ...


with Excel. :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:


Seriously, that's a great accomplishment - do you have any pictures or have I missed them already by not reading back through volumes of posts?

When we went to WDW in 1999, we did Star Tours several times...but that was it for Star Wars stuff then.

The boards just slowed way down.


Mac is watching a cartoon and the as each character comes on she is saying "Do you know how to tie your shoes" It is so cute.


Ok off to school and erronds.


Have a good day everyone.

[MinnMick01]

Well I ran one of the erronds and rethought the other one. With gas prices the way they are I did not think it was a wise idea to go to Frys just to get Macs shampoo on a buy one get one free promo. That would have been the only reason to go.

My other errond is Walmart but there is one buy Mac's hair cut place so I will do that with her this afternoon. Save gas where I can.

[MinnMick01]

I am waiting for the oven to preheat. I am going to cook up something special for Scott. I got these stuffed peppers that are bacon wraped. I only go 2 since no one else will eat them. I will see how they turn out.

Time to pay bills.

Where did everyone go.

I just ordered some printer ink online to save gas - I couldn't pass up free shipping! And it's the same price as the stores....

I'm going to make Thomas a shirt with his name and Lilo and Stitch....just to try out the HP brand transfer paper I bought. I hope it turns out...

Oh, not to make you lonesome, but Di and I are "riding" to Mom's for Easter...Having Shrimp Etouffe, Crawfish Etoufee, Boudin, Rice Dressing, Fried Chicken (MAW MAW's speciality) and Okra Chicken and Sausage Gumbo..Of course that is only during two meals...Lunch and Dinner :lmao:

Oh, I forgot for the "road trip" Bacon and Egg sandwich wrapped in waxpaper for flavorable good times during the trip home...:rotfl:

Hi Jen

People want you to recycle but then they make it so stinking hard. Macs class was collecting cans for field trips. Well half way through the year they stopped so we told the grandparents who were collect to continue and we would trade the cans in for cash and put that cash in a college account for Mac. With my parents it is very little cans, but then Scotts dad just dropped off 5 large black trash bags of cans. Now I can not find a place to take them to. :headache:

Good luck. I decided after the last shirts that making shirts is not my cup of tea.

[MinnMick01]

I found a can place, actually 2. one is 10 miles away and one is 6.4. I guess Scott and I will do that on Sunday.

[MinnMick01]

Now to figure out our DL tickets. We have kind of changed the plans a little so I am trying to see which tickets we want. Then I can go buy them at the Disney store tomorrow without Mackenzie and she will never know.

[MinnMick01]

One of Scotts peppers just exploded all over my oven. :headache:

We recycle our cans. Last month we got $18! The price of aluminum is up right now. We put our can money in a jar for Disney. It has a flamingo holding a margarita on it. It's our Rita fund!

[MinnMick01]

Oh no!

Oh no that is to bad. I think I would go nuts if I can not get away soon. And this trip is just the 3 of us. Well then my mother got a hair brain idea to meet us there one day. But other wise it is just going to be the three of us. Forget bed time we are going to run all day long.

Jen :hug: Sorry to hear that! I know you were so looking forward to that trip! We had to cancel our June trip because Woody will not have enough vacation time by then with the new job. It was supposed to be my big 30th birthday trip. We were going to go to Victoria and Alberts too. :headache: His bright idea was to just rebook V&A for October when we are down with my family. :sad2: I had to remind him that my parents would never eat at a place like that! I wouldn't hear the end of it after they found out the price!

[MinnMick01]

I still need to call the hotel and cancel for the Friday night. We have decided that we will try to see Scott's family. I will need to drink heavily for that one.

[millerpjm]

That sounds great!

We are going up to Door County WI for a week in July...so we will get a vacation this year, but not DL :sad2:

My in-laws (all of them - MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL, and kids) ALL booked for the Oct '09 cruise - I am a little (well a lot) worried about it...but I hope I'm worrying for nothing.

[DISNEYDUET]

That is neat. I just remember when I was a kid the places were everywhere, we recyceled paper and cans. Now there are very few places. Of course I am gready and want money for them. :rotfl2:

Does Arizona pay for aluminum? I know some states don't. We are at about $.70 per pound. We took 4 trash cans full! My inlaws give us theirs. They drink a lot of soda! Ours is a couple of sodas but mostly beer cans. :laughing:

[MinnMick01]

figured out what tickets we need, but now I have to call the Disney store and see if they sell them. Anyone ever bought their tickets on line through DL. I am a little leary on the stand point that you print them yourself. They would not be the same as the cards.

Remember all the worring I did with my parents going. It was pretty much for nothing. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Jen do you know where Rippon College is? Just found out a very good friend of our is from WI- Green Bay area and did his undergrad at Rippon.

[millerpjm]

I was looking forward to it, but I sort of had to pick between AZ/DL this year and the cruise in '09. And OF COURSE the cruise wins. I will get a paper route and sell plasma if I need to to get back on that boat!

The basement is costing us quite a bit of $$$, plus with recession looming and the $$ of gas and everything else going up, we decided it would be wiser to wait.

Sorry you had to cancel WDW - we've been through that before. Pete had to cancel out on Door County twice now because he didn't have enough vacation starting a new job and then using his vacation for the '07 cruise.

[millerpjm]

No worries Jen!! Your DIS buddies will be there to give you all the support you need!! :grouphug:

I believe they do. They used to. How can I find out the price? My inlaws are all beer cans, my parents are soda and our house is mixed. If they would make wine in a can I would be set.

[millerpjm]

Jen do you know where Rippon College is? Just found out a very good friend of our is from WI- Green Bay area and did his undergrad at Rippon.

I sure do, it's south of Green Bay, close to Oshkosh. I've never been there, but I've heard it's a nice school. ;)

[millerpjm]

I believe they do. They used to. How can I find out the price? My inlaws are all beer cans, my parents are soda and our house is mixed. If they would make wine in a can I would be set.

I wonder if you could look online....

I have a theory to can find almost any type of information online. I found a malaysian/english translator online once! :eek:

[MinnMick01]

I just found out that my Disney Store does sell them. :banana: :banana: I am transferring my money right now so I can go get them today. Jen, I will have Mac with me when I get them today. (the store is over by where her hair cut place and walmart are so I thought I would save gas and just do it all today). If she asks I am going to tell her I am buying them for you. So she does not find out about the trip.

[MinnMick01]

Why don't you and Woody just go to V&A on your own one night as a belated birthday gift for you? Surely your parents would understand the two of you disappearing for a few hours to share a romantic dinner .... wouldn't they? :goodvibes

[DISNEYDUET]

I sure do, it's south of Green Bay, close to Oshkosh. I've never been there, but I've heard it's a nice school. ;)

It's very funny. We have know this couple for about a year. We play kickball with them. And we were talking about college and Tim said he went to Rippon. I asked where it was and he said "WI, That's were I'm from." I said I have friends in WI!!! We are cruising with them next year! On our way home Woody looked at me and ask if I was trying to be funny not knowing Tim was from WI. I said I thought he was just a really big Green Bay Packers fan! :laughing:

I think we are going to save it and go next October before the cruise. :thumbsup2 Chef's table for a little Bendy Birthday Bash maybe?

[DISNEYDUET]

Ok Jen help me out what would I type in the search bar. I put aluminum price and that did not give me what I wanted.

Try googling "aluminum recycling in Arizon" and see what that gets you.

Wow man ... it's like you're reading my mind! :rotfl2:

I told Jay that I wanted to go back to V&A next October. Wouldn't it be great have a group of us at Chef's Table? Of course we're limited to ten, so that could be a problem ... ;)

[MinnMick01]

whoops lost track of time I need to go get in the pick up line for Mac. Then it is off to get my tickets, coffee, her hair cut, and groceries.

I told Jay that I wanted to go back to V&A next October. Wouldn't it be great have a group of us at Chef's Table? Of course we're limited to ten, so that could be a problem ... ;)

The night right before the cruise maybe?:thumbsup2

Ohmigawd ... all that food the night before leaving for a 7-night cruise??? Point me to the vomitorium so that I can ensure that I'll fit into all my cruise-clothes. :lmao:

[oybolshoi]

What did I say? :confused3

[millerpjm]

I just found out that my Disney Store does sell them. :banana: :banana: I am transferring my money right now so I can go get them today. Jen, I will have Mac with me when I get them today. (the store is over by where her hair cut place and walmart are so I thought I would save gas and just do it all today). If she asks I am going to tell her I am buying them for you. So she does not find out about the trip.

Works for me! Yeay DL tix! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Ok Jen help me out what would I type in the search bar. I put aluminum price and that did not give me what I wanted.

It would be a shame to waste all that good food by sticking a finger down my throat ... but we must be beautiful and glamorous on the cruise, mustn't we? ;)

OK ... now that I've been disgusting enough for one afternoon I'm going back to my loan request.

Paige and anyone else who's interested ... look for a F&W update on the food porn thread late tonight or early tomorrow. It's the Scotch & Food Pairing at Rose and Crown and it was da bomb! :thumbsup2

Looking forward to reading it, Bendy! I'm off to cook a meal for a friend (and her family) who just had a baby. Of course, I've been under the weather, so I won't be able to eat any of it--Murphy's Law I guess.:headache:

If your hubby likes Scotch, tell him to try Glenkinchie 10-year or the Macallan 12-year. They're both single malts that are a little lighter, although the Macallan is actually aged in sherry casks and yum yum ... is it ever tasty!

Benda....real women have curves :)

I agree completely, but see ... the problem is that I've never really had much in the way of curves. :rotfl2:

EDIT - I'm sort of like a flabby ironing board. :lmao:

Hi Jen

People want you to recycle but then they make it so stinking hard. Macs class was collecting cans for field trips. Well half way through the year they stopped so we told the grandparents who were collect to continue and we would trade the cans in for cash and put that cash in a college account for Mac. With my parents it is very little cans, but then Scotts dad just dropped off 5 large black trash bags of cans. Now I can not find a place to take them to. :headache:


They want us to recycle...but then tell you that they will only take certain plastics. Mind you since we've been recycling, I've reduced our waste by half.

[GOS]

That sounds like fun! We're :sad1: - we had to cancel our trip to AZ and DL this year - we have to spend the $$$ on waterproofing our basement instead.




Oh no!

Jen...can I do anything for Thomas? Perhaps send him a postcard from Mickey? PM me your address and I'll send them off.

I'm supposed to be working, but I don't have a lot of motivation today. I'd rather play on the DIS ...



That sounded like me most of the day Jen. I only got done about 1/2 of what I should have done. I kept thinking all day to myself...............I SHOULD be leaving for vacation after work today, did not make for a very pleasant day for me to say the least...............:headache: :headache: :headache:

Then I come home for lunch and find my laptop acting up which only made matters worse.............:headache: :headache: :headache:

JMHO, but the best recycling program we've experienced is the one in Monterey, CA. Our recycle bin was double the size of our trash bin. When we first moved there, I thought we'd never be able to live with such a small trash bin, but that forced us to recycle more and more. In just a couple of weeks, we were filling up that huge recycle bin (sometimes over-flowing it). We didn't have to rinse anything or sort anything either. It was so easy that I don't know why every state doesn't do it that way.

[MinnMick01]

We not only have to do that, but there is a tax on soda cans and water bottles. So in a sense we are paying twice to recycle those items.

Do I dare ask about the drama?

Lets see I called ahead of time to make sure they had them. Person I spoke to was Breanna. She told me the tickets were in the back and just to let the person know that I want the ones that are good after April. So I got there and the person to help me was Breanna. She went back to get them and could not find them. It took her 10 minutes to find them. She started to ring them up, first the 2 adults and then the child. The child one would not ring up. Her manager came to help her and could not figure it out. 5 minutes later Breanna is calling the help desk at the parks main office. 15 minutes on the phone with them. They finally decided to do 2 transactions. One for the adult tickets and then one for the kid ticket. For some reason they each were canceling each other out if we did it all together. So we did the adults first and I wrote a check. Not a problem according to Breanna. Then we did the kid ticket and wrote another check. The system would not process my check. They have some kind of police that if you take 2 checks from the same person in one day they have to call some number for authorization. So she calls the number. The number was disconnected. She called another store to get the number they use. She then calls that number. The person she got was a complete idiot. Took all of my info, which she had to repeat 4 times to that person, then they ask for the account number for the store. The person says "Oh I am sorry you do not have an account with us" and hung up. She called back and asked for a manager. We held for 10 minutes. Manager comes on she explains the story. That person took all the info from my check 3 different times. Put her on hold 3 times. Came back asking for the account info from the store. Put her on hold 3 more times. At this point I am getting fed up. The whole time I had Mac with me who was very well behaved. I told Breanna while she was on hold "how about we cancel the transaction and re ring it and charge it on a credit card." She told me that when this lady comes back that if she can not get it to work that we will have to do that.

Now all Breanna needed was a authorization code to type in to make it work. The lady comes back and tells her they have no account. Breanna hangs up and says "I am going to do something I am not supposed to do but I don't care." She punched in a bunch of different numbers several different times until she got a combo that would allow her to process it. She hands me the tickets and says have a great day. :worship:

[MinnMick01]

Well my little one is at Grandmas safe and sound and Scott is at work so I think I am going to go take a nice hot bath with no one to bother me.

I have several Don "Ducky" Williams lithographs on our livingroom wall. Ducky is the chief senior artist for WDW. He should have a seminar or two during your cruise, plus he will probably have a Learn to Draw Mickey Class as well. Hazel and I attended both these on the cruise we were on with Ducky. In fact, Ducky sat at the table next to us for dinner, and was always bisy drawing sketches for kids in our dining rotation. We were given a free litho during this cruise as well. I won another Ducky litho during one of the silent auctions.

[Dyerneeds]

If you get a chance to hear him speak during your cruise, I wouldn't miss it. He also draws sketches during his seminar and gives the away as well.

so shelley. is woody settling in at work pretty well?:goodvibes

[DISNEYDUET]

sorry. didnt know. all i hear when robin gets home is how great the store is.
but she never seems to bring anything home from there. i'm guessing she buys cassie stuff.:confused3 or all robins stuff is at sullys place.:scared:

:lmao: Maybe you should hook cinnamon and sully up. That may work to your advantage! :thumbsup2 And I have to say, how can anyone walk out of Ikea and not buy anything!! We drop $300 + every time we go! That's a lot of Swedish meatballs! :laughing:

How was Robins first day back?

[Verandah Man]

I did it!!! I tried winning this litho onboard during our August 2004 cruise, but I stopped bidding after the price went above $250. I just bought it on eBay for $105. this is an "early" birthday gift to myself..............:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

:cool1: Very cool Andy! I love Uncle Walt. :lovestruc That is a wonderful addition to your collection I'm sure.

carrie. if you're still on, that table is great. i'll bet candyman is proud of you eh?:thumbsup2

Thank you. Yes he is very proud of me. Of course I am harder on myself then he is. I am dissappointed that I could not make the chairs and that I will have to go buy them. So now the chairs don't match the table. :sad2: But I have put it to use tonight scrapbooking. I could not scrapbook on the old table anymore because it was not a flat surface anymore.

:laughing: :thumbsup2 Love ya Mikey!!

How was Robins first day back?

very well.:thumbsup2 she was a little tired.
she couldnt wait to get back. she loves her job. wish i knew what that was like.:rotfl2: they all missed her.

[MinnMick01]

What did I miss? Why was Robin out of work? Scott was asking me today how her parents are doing also?

[Verandah Man]

you only live once.:wizard: :laughing:


Yeah, I know. That's why I bought myself some Disney stock for my 50th Birthday. This purchase tonight is making me feel better. If we had left for Florida afterwork, I would not have seen this on eBay and would have missed Becky's question about Ducky. Thanks for asking about Ducky, Becky!!! ;) ;) ;)


The funny thing is, the free litho we got during our August 2004 cruise, cost me over $160 to get framed at A.C. Moore, but it sure looks nice hanging on our wall............:wizard:

I'm sure they did miss her! The Tart girl is Awsome!!
