8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 9

[magiroux]

Enjoyed that one too. And just to make this conversation on-topic (I know, a first for this thread), the first time I saw MBFGW was on board the Disney Magic. Janie and I had been dying to see it but we had a baby daughter, so never did. We snuck off one night for a late showing with Rebecca in Flounders.

:wizard:

Aww, it really is a great date movie

[got2travel]

I can machine gun my shots a bit too. Want to have a contest?

Oh, wait, you're talking about taking pictures. Never mind.

Sounds like one of the accounting Profs I had in college.

He would make his test so hard, just to break you and make you feel like you didn't know anything. Then set the curve so a 40% was passing. Can you say Power Trip?

Oh, I'll give you one even better . . . I had an electrical engineering professor for a 2nd year networking class. The man was older than God and he WROTE the textbook. However, his lectures were taken exactly from the textbook with little explanation of the math it took to get from step to another. On his first test, the class average was an ELEVEN (11)!!! I think it was only that high b/c we had 2 students that scored in the 90's . . they later became his grad student assistants .. .LOL I was thankful to pass!!:cool1::cool1:

This is the story I tell my boys when the struggle with their Algebra . . . and try to do everything in the head rather than doing it on paper . . .

Glad I'm not in college any more!

[captaincrash]

Is it those inflatable monkeys?

Between my spouse and I she's the smart one...

... she always got better grades in college then I (in the same classes) plus she served on her high schools' "Math-a-lete" team. She always threw the math and science class curves... when the tests were extremely hard and everyone was scoring in the teens or maybe just into the 20s she would score a very high 90 (like a 98 or 99). Chemistry, Biology, Math... she aced them all (almost). Me... I couldn't cheat my way into an "A" but generally squeaked by on my "B"s and possibly an occasional "C". SO... I guess that makes me the dumb one in the family... <chuckles> ... but I still made more $ then she did. Well... not anymore.:confused:

My wife is smarter than me as well, although not in math -- I was her Calculus tutor. But most other subjects, she is smarter than me.

I think most husbands would say this, even if it isn't true, but in my case it is.

Good Morning, Andy.

I come from a very loud Mexican family (I'm 1/2 Mexican from my dad's side) and on Holidays everyone is yelling across the room, dancing, etc....a lot like her family in the movie. My dh's family is very calm & quiet.

I could not breath during the scene in the movie when it flashed from her loud family to sitting quietly with his parents. I'm sure no one in the theatre could understand why my dh and I were laughing so hard at that.....It was just such a perfect representation of our lives.....In fact, that's exactly what most of our home videos look like.... from one extreme, to the other....


I can relate....

It's funny how some of these movies can mirror your own family's life so accurately. Did you ever see, "Home For The Holidays" with Holly Hunter? :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1

[cinderella_mom]

With everyone talking about their poochies, and showing pics, I'd like to share what I have as the wallpaper on my laptop. This pic is of our beloved Midnight who is no longer with us, but he was one sweet and loveable doggie. We called him our buddy buddy. In this pic, he laid on the floor with this cup on his head for about 30 minutes without moving. I miss my buddy buddy. :sad1:

HI All --

Just trying to catch up a bit .. .sorry I've been out of pocket for so long . . . too much work . . . got three new website clients in the past two weeks. It's a good problem to have.

I am working on our website. The site is done. Just adding the list from the old site. I know a bunch of folks were working on the links for each of our ports of call. If you're one of those, would you please PM me? If I can get your data, we can add that this weekend as well.

Maybe by Monday we can have an official rolling out party (you know champagne bottles hitting the ship . . .er . . .website . . .something like that . . .)

Still dreaming about the cruise. . .can't wait . . .

One thing I have the edge on with her is she can't write worth a darn. Well... she just dislikes writing and has had me to do all her essays, papers and even her work reports now-a-days. I don't mind - as it's breezy and sort of relaxing for me... go figure... that may have something to do with all my contributions here ... photo and image postings excepted. ;)

DH and I watched Miami Vice (movie) last night. It was awful. DH was a huge MV (tv) fan. He was very disappointed.

We watched The Departed last weekend. Now that was a good movie.

I'm not really one fer much of the rapid fire "shots"... especially of the alcohol variety... so I may NOT be able to take up your challenge on the ship. HOWEVER...

TWO catagories prevail seperated arbitrarily by age.





Hey Crash, I can't remember if I signed up or not. But definitely my son (12 ATC at time of cruise) and I will participate.

Ok, I think you are kidding me about my nutmeg. I had a pharmacology professor in pharmacy school that taught us about illicit drugs. This looked like he had not only taken every kind but probably made them as well. He told us that a teaspoonful (or maybe a tablespoonful) of nutmeg would produce the same effects as LSD. They both have the same structure and work in the same way. Here is the kicker though. When you take that much nutmeg you have to go through about 24 hours of dry heaves until you get to the hallucinogenic effects. According to him if you could not find any LSD it was hell to get there but you get the same trip.

We had another earthquake this morning. Woke up when my bed shook. 4:11am.

This one was centered right in my town, thankfully it was only 2.6.

Just thought I'd share.

[sk8ingmom]

I shoot at the maximum image size and at the lowest compression my DSLR will capture. I would encourage you to do the same - especially if you crop or manipulate your images - or want to manipulate them in the future.

That's why I can only get 327 on a 1 GB card. I really don't want to give Shutters any more $ than I absolutely have to, but I think I'm going to have them download for me on the ship. I don't travel with my laptop & I can't see buying more cards (I have 2) since this will probably be the only trip I'll ever need more than 2.

We were very young; Annette was just 18. This really wasn't that unusual in NC at the time. Our DS was born the next year. Also not unusual.

The unusual thing about this is that we are still married after 35 years when most are not and we are still very much in love ....... with each other! :lovestruc :flower3:

AAWWWWW:love:
That's what I was not-so-eliquently implying with my response. I knew you guys have been together forever. That's just so great!

Monica, that's exactly how we'll do it . . . I'm going to be on the Magic in just over 2 weeks (3/24) and I will look around with an eye for some places that might work.

Andrew UK-- when you read this, are you up to leaving me some hidden surprises on the Magic this summer when you hand the ship over to me on Aug. 8?

I don't get to play, but here is a suggestion...
The first one on the ship, pick a specific bartender and order a "Piratini" or some other drink that we can totally make up. Tell the bartender the ingredients of the drink & then explain the game to him/her, and leave a secret (spoken)message with the bartender for the person on the next cruise.

Next person onboard - your challenge is to locate the "hidden bartender". You can accomplish this by trying to order a "piratini".

Fighting Illini Move Past Penn State Into Big Ten Quarters

Illinois prevails 66-60 in opening-round matchup.


YAY! I'm really "from" Ohio - lived there age 3-21, but I was born in Champaign when my dad was in grad school at U of I. So we were the lone Illini fans in a world of viscious nuts (buckeyes).

Too bad I couldn't use that logic back in high school. I would have gotten straight A's. :rotfl2:

I could just see the arguments with the teacher, I'm right, you just asked the wrong questions. :lmao:

I've had college students try that with me. :rolleyes:

Have you heard of these mixed breed dogs like the labradoodle (half poodle, half lab)....yorkipoo (half poodle, half yorkie)....puggle (half pug, half beagle)?

You could get a bullpoo...Well, on second thought, that sounds a lot like a Bradgelina- just a pile of shirt!

Although I'm really glad it's Friday, I really am not looking forward to the mess at home.

My answer is 40.

1 big one arount the whole thing.
4 around groups of 9 of the larger individual squares.
9 around groups of 4 larger individual squares.
2 around each of the smaller individual squares.
24 individual squares.

Man I hope this is right, because I'll feel foolish for posting the wrong answer (nightmares of being called on in class :rotfl2: ).

If I look further and find myself that I'm wrong, I will repost my answer.

on our last sailin' we had a couple volunteers who would burn CDs or DVDs for DIS friends. Maybe we'll organize the same here. If not then I'll burn some for folks as I will have my notebook. It's just that I know I won't have tons of time free to volunteer for a group of this size and my notebook has a slow burner/processor. It can take 40-50 minutes to burn a DVD. So I have real capacity limits.

I had a hard time deciding on mine, but since we are trying to up the vote count I wanted to use a political slogan.

Here were some other options:

No :cake: left behind.

Ask not what your :cake: can do for you...

It's the :cake:, stupid.

A :cake: in every pot...

Hmmmmm....How about top rejected Political :cake: slogans?

"I Voted for :cake:, Before I Voted Against It." - Who votes against :cake:...honestly?

"I did not eat :cake: with that woman." - That I believe.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our :cake: and our people, and neither do we."

"If you go to college, study hard, and get good grades, you get :cake:, if not, you get us stuck in Iraq." - If anyone deserves cake, it's those in Iraq.

"I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of :cake: — even if I'm in a Cabinet meeting."

"I'm from the Government and I'm here to offer you :cake:" - Yeah...right.

"And there is no :cake: in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the lack of :cake: that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it."

"I invented :cake:"


Ok.... who wants to move to :cake: movie slogans?

"You had me at :cake:"

"Stick to the code, those who fall behind, are left behind...unless they have :cake:."

Ignoring the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared + 3-squared + 4-squared for the main box. (You are counting the 4x4's (1) + the 3x3's (4) + the 2x2's (9) + the 1x1's (16)) so that is 30.

Then for the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared (or 5) times two.

30 + 5 + 5 = 40.

That's my final answer.

Although there still aren't any squares.

Maybe we should count rhombuses (rhombii?)

Ignoring the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared + 3-squared + 4-squared for the main box. (You are counting the 4x4's (1) + the 3x3's (4) + the 2x2's (9) + the 1x1's (16)) so that is 30.

Then for the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared (or 5) times two.

30 + 5 + 5 = 40.

those photos of the Mickey bar contest are also enough to bring on a headache - brrr!!!!!!...not to mention so very tired of the cold here!!!!

Well...

... that knack is probably precisely what makes you an interesting person! Or... it earns you the scorn of those lesser beings around you... <chuckles>. Seriously, all kidding aside... it is to your credit to see things fluidly in alternate perspectives. :surfweb: I scored high on raw IQ tests but got generally middlin' grades (high "B" - low "A" average) because I was bored with the pace. Then when it counted I lacked the common sense to get serious. A lot of folks I meet are sharp - far sharper then I - but I try to keep up... <fake huffing and puffin'> ....

I really gotta go now...

Have a great day folks! No more last looks or lurkin' for me now...

1960's Arithmetic test:
"A logger cuts and sells a truck load of lumber for $100. His cost of production is four-fiths of that amount. What is his profit?"

1970's New Math test:
"A logger exchanges a set (L) of lumber for a set (M) of money. The cardinality of set M is 100. The set C of production costs contains 20 fewer points. What is the cardinality of set P of profits?"

2000's no child left behind version:
"A logger cuts and sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost is $80, and his profit is $20. Find and circle the number 20."

2007's green version:
"An unenlightened logger cuts down a beautiful stand of 100 old growth trees in order to make a $20 profit. Write an essay explaining how you feel about this as a way of making money. Topic for discussion: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel?"

All of our dog grooming places are called "SPAS".
I own my own pet sitting business and alot of the times I have to take them to get groomed.
I call it "Fluffed and Buffed!.

They come home looking beautiful. We even have one company that come to the house and grooms your pet.


Oh, that's cute! "Fluffed and Buffed"....I'll have to remember that.

Poor little guy, he was all excited thinking he was going someplace fun! The "spa" is in our vet's new office, so his excitement didn't last long. And how embarrassing....they call back on the speaker "Ash is here for his spa treatment"...:o And there were a couple of dogs who were sick.....I bet they wished they were only there for a spa treatment. :sad1:

Now, if we are counting RECTANGLES and not SQUARES, then there would be 118, I think.

I'm coming up with 118 also.

Here's my calculation:

V=Vertical
H=Horizontal

12 - 2x1 V - larger squares
12 - 2x1 H - larger squares
4 - 2x1 V - smaller squares
4 - 2x1 H - smaller squares

32 total 2x1

16 - 3x1 both V and H
12 - 3x2 both V and H

28 total 3 tall

8 - 4x1 both V and H
6 - 4x2 both V and H
4 - 4x3 both V and H

18 total 4 tall

That makes 78 elongated rectangles.

Now, since all squares are rectangles (but all rectangles aren't squares) you need to add the 40 squares to the total.

That makes 118.

[justmestace]

Or, you could call it the "SPAW"....

Answer from a dumb one. Depends on what version you are using, but you should be able to select the message, right-click on it and then select "Junk E-Mail" --> Add Sender to Blocked Senders List.

Ignoring the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared + 3-squared + 4-squared for the main box. (You are counting the 4x4's (1) + the 3x3's (4) + the 2x2's (9) + the 1x1's (16)) so that is 30.

Then for the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared (or 5) times two.

30 + 5 + 5 = 40.

That's my final answer.

Although there still aren't any squares.

Maybe by Monday we can have an official rolling out party (you know champagne bottles hitting the ship . . .er . . .website . . .something like that . . .)

Ignoring the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared + 3-squared + 4-squared for the main box. (You are counting the 4x4's (1) + the 3x3's (4) + the 2x2's (9) + the 1x1's (16)) so that is 30.

Then for the inner boxes, it's 1-squared + 2-squared (or 5) times two.

30 + 5 + 5 = 40.

That's my final answer.

Although there still aren't any squares.

Maybe we should count rhombuses (rhombii?)

:wizard:

I think this is where you were going with this.

The easiest way to do a problem with squares, looking at the larger sqaures only in this problem, is to take the sum of the squares (not squares we see, but a square of a number, i.e. 2 squared is 4).

You can apply this to any sized square then. You take the number of squares in each direction and square it. Take one less and square that. So on down to 1.

Take a checker board. It has eight rows of eight squares. Therefore you would take 8 squared or 64. Add on 7 squared or 49. You do this down to 1 squared which is 1.

The answer for the checker board would be 204.

For the problem given today, you would treat each section separate, taking out the two smaller squares of 4.

Okay I'm off to work....................

Wishing a great day to my PEEPS!!

I like Peeps!

I agree with you on this....but.....I hated DCL's cheesecake. It tasted like cheese jello.

:confused: I LOVED DCL's cheescake. Mmmmm.... I haven't been since '05, I hope it hasn't changed!! :eek:



Not the kind of 'shots' I plan to 'machine-gun' onboard the ship.

I like to play checkers with 'shots' ;)



Or, you could call it the "SPAW"....

HI All --

Just trying to catch up a bit .. .sorry I've been out of pocket for so long . . . too much work . . . got three new website clients in the past two weeks. It's a good problem to have.

I am working on our website. The site is done. Just adding the list from the old site. I know a bunch of folks were working on the links for each of our ports of call. If you're one of those, would you please PM me? If I can get your data, we can add that this weekend as well.

Maybe by Monday we can have an official rolling out party (you know champagne bottles hitting the ship . . .er . . .website . . .something like that . . .)

Still dreaming about the cruise. . .can't wait . . .

Theresa, you are terrific! Thanks so much to you and to Lisa for all the work you have done on our new website. Can't wait to see it!

[maine_jennifer]

Life is like a box of chocolates.
And mine is filled with nuts.

:wizard:

I thought the box was full with soft centres.

Unless you stick you finger into the bottom of each piece and put the yucky orange ones back in the box.

I hate it when someone has done that.

NOW it’s the official start to the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were on the Magic over Halloween 2006. It was not good at all. And I really love cheesecake. But I like it with a thick creamy texture. Like The Cheesecake Factory serves. DCL's was very gelatinous. It was weird.

By the way, I think fly tipping in British terms has something to do with dumping your garbage, but I'm not sure . . .

Andrew, doesn't it mean dumping your garbage (rubbish, I mean!) illegally?

[pyramid2000]

I was at CompUSA recently and this couple were asking the sales rep if a particular computer came with the new Windows Vista. To his credit, the sales weenie didn't run them out of the store but instead said, "Sir, this is a Mac computer! They run MacOS which is based on Linux. You'd only be crippling it!" :laughing: :sad2:

I will try but you might miss it, not sure yet on taking laptopor internet package so much to do so little time, so the update could be on my return and you will be on, But I will see if I can report live from the Magic.

[yargrnhoj]

I think this is where you were going with this.

The easiest way to do a problem with squares, looking at the larger sqaures only in this problem, is to take the sum of the squares (not squares we see, but a square of a number, i.e. 2 squared is 4).

You can apply this to any sized square then. You take the number of squares in each direction and square it. Take one less and square that. So on down to 1.

Take a checker board. It has eight rows of eight squares. Therefore you would take 8 squared or 64. Add on 7 squared or 49. You do this down to 1 squared which is 1.

The answer for the checker board would be 204.

For the problem given today, you would treat each section separate, taking out the two smaller squares of 4.

Correct. It's just a series of squares. No counting involved. Same applied for the rectangle problem except you have to care about multiple dimensions. (1x3 and 3x1 are not the same). The inner squares would be where people tripped up, but that's just a problem inside a problem and you extract that out and count separately.

Why the fluff do we have so many math discussions going on lately????

This is killing me. I much more of a creative writer.

These posts are certainly making my ketchup go more quickly. I don't even bother to skim them. I HATE math, always have and have absolutely no interest in making my brain go :headache: :headache: :headache: , unless a gun is being held to my head

This is my 1000th post!

I've come a long way from my lurking years . . .

Andrew, you will have to "ketchup" and read what we are talking about -- these aren't virtual notes via computer but actual physical notes (or postcards, etc.) that we hide in a preselected place on the ship for the next person to find. For example, I might find a spot to tape a postcard from Monaco and leave it hidden for Monica with a personal note written on it. . . we would PM or email in advance to discuss places.

We would probably also leave something with Guest Services or something in case the Disney cleaning magic found our hidden notes and threw them away. . .

Could I suggest that an autographed photo of Fabrizio would be greatly appreciated??????

The way around the 1x3 and 3x1 issue is to just double your answer (i.e. Horizontal equals Vertical - if it is a square).

Dont give me ideas about leaving things at guest services. But if I hide things for you wont DCL clean it up.

Your right, I only have to take them 2x a day. For Sinus infection and the cough. I have to drink a ton of water just to get them to go down. I never have trouble with pills but these are doozies. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Well, now I am going to bed. Only 5 hours till Mark gets up.

Glad you are feeling better!!!!!!! Sinus infections really can hurt. I got one about two minths ago, I had to take levaquinn which was $179 for 14 pills!!!!!:scared1:

Okay....serious question here.....

There's all the talk about updating or doing something to our computers because of Daylight Saving....but, in Arizona, we don't observe DST. Our time never changes. So does that mean I don't have to do anything to my computer?

[yargrnhoj]

The way around the 1x3 and 3x1 issue is to just double your answer (i.e. Horizontal equals Vertical - if it is a square).

You're right. I was just doing it as a double-indexed array, looping up from 1 to n (width) and then looping inside from 1 to m (height). Same thing except I can deal with non-square solution sets (e.g. 4 across, 5 down) this way.

Most computers you sellect a time zone when you install it and it should know when to forward your clock or not, mine here in the UK prompts me the first time I log on after a change.

If you are on windows click on the time bottom right and the time details and zone comes up.

We do not change for a couple of more weeks from GMT to BST.

It depends on if you care about the time anywhere else. For example, my company has offices in Arizona. They need to apply the patch because if they don't, and they try to schedule a meeting with me, then their time will be off and I won't have the right time for the meeting.

For a personal computer, probably not, but if you use Windows Update to automatically keep your machine up-to-date, it will get patched anyway.

Hey Julie -

OH OH :banana: :banana: - Can I participate? If he's not willing - I will be - keep an eye out for me - huh? :dance3:

HI All --

Just trying to catch up a bit .. .sorry I've been out of pocket for so long . . . too much work . . . got three new website clients in the past two weeks. It's a good problem to have.

I am working on our website. The site is done. Just adding the list from the old site. I know a bunch of folks were working on the links for each of our ports of call. If you're one of those, would you please PM me? If I can get your data, we can add that this weekend as well.

Maybe by Monday we can have an official rolling out party (you know champagne bottles hitting the ship . . .er . . .website . . .something like that . . .)

Still dreaming about the cruise. . .can't wait . . .

:thumbsup2 :wizard: great news!!!! Thank you for all the hard work...look forward to the unveiling!!!!:wizard: :thumbsup2

[bellelinus]

I think this is such a GREAT idea, and if it leaks out to others, it may just become the next "Pay it forward" type thing here on the DIS!!!
Like a "Let's see how long this postcard can stay onboard...and how many names it can collect!!!"
That's fun!!!

But now you've got me thinking . . . maybe we can do something like this when we are all on the ship, too . . . a treasure hunt or something similar . . . .for our secret mickey people or all together? Hmmm . . .

[ChrizJen]

Hello Everyone..I finally, was able to get signed in.. I get my name up on top but when i go to hit reply ... it goes back to the sign on page..

Any one have any hints as to why this has been happening?? So i thought about using a quote... and it worked.. YEAH!!1:thumbsup2

That and I somehow never can imagine hearing my DHsaying these words..lol:confused3

I have to say I loved the You Tube Link of Ellen.. and Gladys.. I did hear some of that on her show one day and was confused as what it was.. Thanks DIS boards for setting me straight..

What have I missed...lol:surfweb:


So far this morning you've missed a whole lot of
"Blah blah blah MATH blah blah blah blah, :cake: blah blah blah :cake: in a movie blah blah blah..."

That about sums it up...

[bellelinus]

Congrats. I'm hoping to get there someday...

Susan, now that you are on this thread it will happen before you know it!

Got to stay it has taken my interest, could I hide something July 2007 and find it again August 2008?????? I have different staterooms so it has to be in public areas.

I like to play checkers with 'shots' ;)

for DH and I - it is Backgammon!!!!! Haven't played for shots in years though....not since the kiddo!

[buckifan]

Hi Doreen -

can't tell you why it happens but would be interested if anyone else knows. I am constantly getting booted out and it usually happens when I post or "lurk" without posting for too long.


I don't know if this was just a coincidence or anything....but it was happening to me as well until I got a new computer. It hasn't happened again since.

[bellelinus]

Currently my shipboard bill for the Med stands at

$1,400 credit!

Ah well I offered!

Yeah, you'd go putting all your tips on there, and a few spa appointments, and lots of alcohol, and before long I'd be stuck with a real balance . . . don't try to pull the wool over MY eyes!

[bellelinus]

Hey Julie -

OH OH :banana: :banana: - Can I participate? If he's not willing - I will be - keep an eye out for me - huh? :dance3:

Of course!!!!! I knew there was someone else on there before me . . . I think it would be great fun . . .

I think that this creative group of DISers could come up with something fun like that! :thumbsup2

Like maybe every day on our cruise the card is hidden in a different spot, and everyone tries to find it...then whoever finds it signs it and hides it for the next person...but that probably wouldn't work...unless we leave clues with everyone after we've hidden it!! :thumbsup2

I don't know, but with all of these creative brainiacs around here, we should be able to come up with something...

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

This is my 1000th post!

It's not for you, Andrew! The idea is that you leave something for ME to find when I get on August 8 . . . and I leave things for Monica and Todd to find on August 18 . . .

Oh, forget it -- LAURA has it all figured out . . .

[justmestace]

Count me in as evil too. I was just sorry she didn't twist her ankle or break an arm or something....(can you believe people let me babysit their children)


I'm glad I'm not the only one. When she waited so long to get up, I thought, "Oh, good, she's hurt and will have to go home"

[eeyorelvr10]

I can machine gun my shots a bit too. Want to have a contest?

Oh, wait, you're talking about taking pictures. Never mind.

Where would a good place to leave something hidden be on the Magic, in a seat cushion in the Walt Disney Theatre? behind some woodwork?

[pyramid2000]

Good morning all! About to run the kids to school. I am going to have to stay away today to get ready for our trip. I have 3 bathrooms to clean, 3 beds to change, and a ton of laundry to do before we can leave tomorrow.

I hope your trip goes smoothly Lisa. :goodvibes

You can keep the cake from the desert. Too sandy.

I think in order to hide something that far in advance, you'd have to cut open the upholstry on a chair or something, stuff it in, and then sew it back up...all without anyone seeing you! :lmao:

One time, another gal and I decided to leave something on the ship for the next one to find. I was in 8534 and she was going to be in that same room later in the summer. I made up a "business card" and stuck in to the frame of a picture in the room...the back of the frame.

Bad news...I don't know if she ever found it, she left the DIS and hasn't been back.
I have 8532 for our June '08 cruise, I wonder if I could knock on the door and ask to look behind 8534's picture?:idea:

[Enna]

For you I could leave you a note at Guest services with clues where to look for your PIRATES treasure, but I wanted to go one better and so could you leave something for a year, would it still be there??????? But I cant think where?

I don't know that you can do something on the ship to have it last for a year. IIRC, the Captain said that the ship is on a routine painting schedule such that every painted surface is repainted within an interval of something like 8 months.

[Reenieny18]

If the note or bottle of wine or what ever is left is not there... that goes to show you the high quality of cleaning that DCL has however. If it isnt there.. well....:confused3

Yeah but WE thought you'd be in the top ten . . . doesn't that tell you something?

There you go.. a busines card to be hidden somewhere on deck and to be found by another DISER... it can be at the gift shops, on the stairs, the elevators..perhaps in the ceiling tiles( if they have them).. what about the piano legs..lol

The back side of a picture frame is a great idea.. :goodvibes

[DiaLady]

Yes exactly dumping rubbish anywhere illegally.

Okay, Andrew . . so if fly tipping is illegal dumping of your garbage, what is tipping? (some day we'll visit England and be totally up to snuff . . .LOL . . but probably going down under first - my sister is doing a semester abroad in Australia - yeah!)

There's all the talk about updating or doing something to our computers because of Daylight Saving....but, in Arizona, we don't observe DST. Our time never changes. So does that mean I don't have to do anything to my computer?
