8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 10

[Grandma x3]

Hi All,

Hope everyone had a great weekend - I played a little ketchup but spent most of the day working on income tax prep while DD took DGS to DL.

Gee no wonder I've got a splitting headache!!

It's time to fix dinner - I hope to check in again later.

I think GSD wants to go back to DL tomorrow as there is no school for him!!

By the way Tom, thanks for posting that warning about the dog food!

Chris :)

[O'BWV]

How many shirts do you plan on ordering? 4 Black
When would you like to order them? (Now, Christmas, Just in Time) Whenever, probably closer to cruise is better otherwise I will lose them or wear them out....
Is it more important that you have them at a certain time, or get the best price? Price more so than timing
Is eBay / PayPal a problem for you? No problem
Do you prefer 1-sided or 2-sided shirts? Or do you care?Would prefer one sided (back) or something with the thread logo on front (small offset - like logo even) and bigger back
Which is more important, the number of sides or price? doesn't matter
Do you want a door magnet? How many? one would do
Are you interested in other stuff? What? Given enough time.... nothing I can think of now


Tom thanks for the dog and cat food link.....I wanted to mention it but didn't have a link for everyone so thanks!!!

Also, in case your interested us Pirates will be wearing T-S**** as follows: Black for embarkation and White for PC day!

[Diznyfan68]

OK....time to catch up elsewhere. :)

BTW...I ordered the kid's ipods this afternoon. They were marked down from 149 to 39!!! I haven't seen any of the 29 half GB ones up since DS decided that he wanted to buy one of those with his allowance. I just checked today after Church & there the 1GB was!!! For only $10 more!!! :) It is in the apple store under refurbished ones. DD wont be getting hers any time soon...but getting it now saved shipping since it is free for $50 and up orders. We are going to have to wait for her attitude to improve before offering the same deal to her. I know that she will enjoy it for our flight to CA...she might be able to earn it by then. LOL!

Hope that ANYONE who has been waiting for a deal on these shuffles can get one. :)

We ended up not going to Lake George today due to a really late start (DH had to finish getting rid of the snow and someone slept in this morning due to not being able to fall asleep until after 3 :rolleyes1). Anywho...we decided to do some window shopping and ended up going to CompUSA in Latham. They were celebrating their 23rd birthday and all Ipods were 10% off. I already have a 2gb but wanted to upgrade to the 30 and asked DH to get me one for my bday. Well, with the sale I ended up getting it today!:thumbsup2 Have just over 500 songs on it now...only another 7000 to go!:cool1:

[darthrugby]

Did anyone watch "Cruise Do's and Don'ts" on the Travel Channel? Some segments about the DCL and Disney Wonder:) . Makes me want to book another cruise:cloud9: .

Yep, we watched it..................:thumbsup2

[PBader]

My Mickey Room is in the basement in his house. It is also my other computer room and where the wireless network is set up. I have not finished putting things where they belong yet but hope to do it soon. (Hey I've only been here 9 months!

It's also the room where I take computers apart and work on them. You'll see one in the corner in the last photo.

Don't let my DW know I'm showing this because she will be very :mad: at me because it is such a jumble mess ..... but it's my mess! :woohoo:

Ho nice Brack! You have a wonderful area for your collectibles.:)

[darthrugby]

Hi Pete!

So how much snow did you end up getting?

[Joel110]

Took DDs to see the Sneak Preview of The Last Mimzy today. Neat little movie.

Remember how I said a while back that DD isn't into the Princess thing? This depicts her perfectly...;)

Lots of great pics from yesterday! I think Justmestace, Lisa, Brack and Esteri to name a few. Thanks for sharing


I believe it is called "Going Commando" ..... although for the life of me I do not know why? :confused3

Speaking of which... I found Julia Louis Dreyfus' satire monlogue on SNL to be funny.

http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/#mea=82521




I probably should be open and honest with the group, I have not had the best luck travelling... first family trip to the World was 9/16/01, had to drive instead of fly due to grounding of all planes. I was in Florida for one of the 4 bad hurricanes in 2004 (managed to get last plane out of Tampa - literally - we would have weathered it out, but would have meant missing youngest DS first day of Kindergarten....), 2006 cruise rerouted due to hurricane.... and other minor incidents on other trips (tornados, etc.) My Mother will not travel the same week I do vacations (although if any rooms open up on this trip she wants to come).

We tease my parent's about their "bad" luck on vacations. Let's see, a couple years ago they went to the Destin Beach FL area during back-to-back hurricanes, then they went to the Cape Cod area a little over a year ago when it monsoon rained for 10 days straight, then they flew to the Alabama Gulf Shores, but dad incurred an infection and went to the hospital where they found he had an irregular heartbeat and was hospitalized the whole week, then my BIL and I had to drive 14 hours each way to extract him because the doctor wouldn't clear him to fly, then they were at a hockey tournament a month back where a boy from my nephew's team nearly drowned, a nurse who's son was on the team saved his life and then they life flighted him to a children's hospital, then, about two weeks ago, they were flying to Tampa when a lady had a heart attack on the plane. A nurse on that flight saved her life and when they landed, the pilot did about 60mph to gate.

[darthrugby]

Yep, we watched it..................:thumbsup2

My girls screamed everytime they saw the ship! (so did I)

[Diznyfan68]

BIP/Shelley - thanks for posting and letting us know how you are doing.

Laura - glad to hear your doing better.

Liz, Lil Grumpy and anyone else not doing well :grouphug:.

[Verandah Man]

Good Night All :wave:

[darthrugby]

Good Night All :wave:

Good night Andy!

[Diznyfan68]

So how much snow did you end up getting?

The official word is 14 inches but we have around 20 here at the house. I'm hoping that this is the last storm of the season and that spring really is around the corner!

[darthrugby]

That stinks! We had some snow but mostly sleet and freezing rain which formed a thick hard coat of ice everywhere @ 3 inches.

[Diznyfan68]

Night Andy!

[darthrugby]

Good night everyone. Hope to talk to you all very soon!:)

[Diznyfan68]

I'd rather have the snow than the ice any day!

It got bad here very quickly on Friday. I work only about 15 minutes from home and it took me over an hour to get home - left the office at 12:15. Actually, I had to call DH and have him come get me and drive the car the rest of the way home. I was lucky that he was working, with someone and was able to come and rescue me between calls. Otherwise, I was going to leave the car and walk the 6 blocks home (car was in a parking lot at one of the local hospitals).

One time on a work trip, a guy two rows in front of me had a seizure about 1/2 way between philly and miami, so I guess it isn't all vacation. The kinda ironic thing about it all is that I am in the emergency management field.....

DH said that Donald Trump has fired the grounhog. :confused3

[disneyjunkie]

What a fun day.

My son and I got to attend the POT 3 preview. :dance3: The trailer is awesome. I can't wait until May.:hourglass

The theater here had a contest for best costume. A cute 6 year old from Staten Island won.

A man from Long Island came in 2nd place. He was pretty much a dead ringer for Jack Sparrow.

They played a few trivia games and had a raffle. Some of the prizes were pretty neat. An Ipod, a replica of Jack Sparrow's gun, figurines, tee shirts, Jack Sparrow doll, ticket to Madame Tussauds...

They gave everyone a Fan Kit which included a bandana, a PC game and a few other items.

Oh, they showed the trailer twice. It was a pretty long day, but we both enjoyed it.

[dahuffy]

Heck - it's spotless compared to my room! ;)

H*** it's spotless compared to my HOUSE!!:eek:

[Enna]

Good Night All :wave:

Goodnight, Andy!

Happy Birthday to Verandah Gran!

Hey Enna we were mostly shut in during St. Paddy's but went for the postponed breakfast with my Mom today. How about you guys??? I was going to make a corned beef but last year I bought a good size corned beef and when I was done boilin' the darn thing it was about the size of a half-dollar :lmao:

No way could we have come up with the all of the rent money by ourselves. Since we hadn't signed anything yet, we just gave the business back to the man we got it from.

Yeah, he was little hurt,at first. But very happy we hadn't jumped in any further and spent a lot of money, that we didn't have in the first place. Ya know what I mean? On a happier note tho, this will be the first time in over 15 years that he's had an entire weekend to do whatever, other than when we go on vacation.

Knowing there are a number of you with pets,

There has been a huge recall in dog food.
Some unknown ingredient in certain foods is causing renal failure, and
even death in some animals.
If any of you feed your dogs or cats canned food please click on to
the below link.
The second link has the 40 different brands of dog food affected by
this recall, all of which are canned food.

Thanks or the info. I immediately picked a can of our DISDog's can food. His is not on the list probably because it is a prescription food we can only buy from the vet. :headache:

Enjoy!! (Though it's similar to yesterday's... :confused3 )

Yes a friend of mine at work just dropped over 200 at the vet as he gave her some wet Iams last week for the dog and now the dog has bloody stools and damage to her kidneys. And the vet gave her the food to try. She is really upset about this.

Took DDs to see the Sneak Preview of The Last Mimzy today. Neat little movie.

Knowing there are a number of you with pets,

There has been a huge recall in dog food.
Some unknown ingredient in certain foods is causing renal failure, and
even death in some animals.
If any of you feed your dogs or cats canned food please click on to
the below link.
The second link has the 40 different brands of dog food affected by
this recall, all of which are canned food.

Yeah, DW mentioned that this may have been the cause for dear DKitty's sudden decline in health prompting us to have her put down :sad1: At least she had a long 14 years.

Hey Enna we were mostly shut in during St. Paddy's but went for the postponed breakfast with my Mom today. How about you guys??? I was going to make a corned beef but last year I bought a good size corned beef and when I was done boilin' the darn thing it was about the size of a half-dollar :lmao:
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I just came across this picture of our GREAT KIDS AKA Stinky Teens during our 8/06 cruise:

MR, that is a great pic of your STs:)

[PBader]

First the Bad News: Grumpy's Train House has Closed it's doors.:faint: The lady that we were sub-letting from couldn't come with the rent and decided it would be best for all concerned,to shut the doors. No way could we have come up with the all of the rent money by ourselves. Since we hadn't signed anything yet, we just gave the business back to the man we got it from.

Now for the Good News: I ordered my New :moped: yesterday. It should be here within 2 weeks :yay: :banana: :yay:

I hate that for you all Debi. :hug:

[jonesing]

Yeah, he was little hurt,at first. But very happy we hadn't jumped in any further and spent a lot of money, that we didn't have in the first place. Ya know what I mean? On a happier note tho, this will be the first time in over 15 years that he's had an entire weekend to do whatever, other than when we go on vacation.

Look on the bright side...you'll be able to keep the money you didn't have and (bonus) now that he's got weekends free you two can decide if that's truly a good thing ;) When my dad went on terminal vacation before his retirement a few months ago, my mom was suddenly faced with having him at the house all the time!! Turns out that spacious house of theirs is suddenly not big enough! :rotfl:

hmmmmm is it me or does the boy look like a young John Cryer?

Speaking of teens....is someone (aka Lisa :thumbsup2 ) going to have a list of STs willing to babysit for some port-spending cash?

[jonesing]

I believe it is called "Going Commando" ..... although for the life of me I do not know why? :confused3

Earliest uses
Slate's Daniel Engber dates the modern usage to 1974 college campuses, where it was perhaps an outgrowth of the Vietnam War. The origins of the phrase are uncertain, with some speculating that it may refer to being "out in the open" or "ready for action." According to Engber many soldiers do go without underwear to "increase ventilation and reduce moisture." The earliest known use of the term in print is January 22, 1985 when Jim Spencer wrote in the Chicago Tribune:

Furthermore, colored briefs are 'sleazy' and going without underwear ('going commando', as they say on campus) is simply gross"."Going commando" may also come from the mistaken idea that "commandos" go into an area "without cover."

The origin of the term "going commando" may connect to the tradition in military units of Scottish heritage to not wear underwear under their kilts. The first Commando units were raised and trained in Scotland in WW2 (which is where the present-day Commando Monument is).

------

Going commando appears to be an increasingly popular practice. A 2004 study of 7,000 people by the New York-based clothier Freshpair revealed that 9% of men and 7% of women go commando day-to-day. Those who do so semiregularly are much more numerous, possibly around 25-30%, and most people have tried it at some point.

We tease my parent's about their "bad" luck on vacations. Let's see, a couple years ago they went to the Destin Beach FL area during back-to-back hurricanes, then they went to the Cape Cod area a little over a year ago when it monsoon rained for 10 days straight, then they flew to the Alabama Gulf Shores, but dad incurred an infection and went to the hospital where they found he had an irregular heartbeat and was hospitalized the whole week, then my BIL and I had to drive 14 hours each way to extract him because the doctor wouldn't clear him to fly, then they were at a hockey tournament a month back where a boy from my nephew's team nearly drowned, a nurse who's son was on the team saved his life and then they life flighted him to a children's hospital, then, about two weeks ago, they were flying to Tampa when a lady had a heart attack on the plane. A nurse on that flight saved her life and when they landed, the pilot did about 60mph to gate.

OK Joel, please tell me they are not coming with you:scared1:

TELL ME ABOUT IT! DW and I have almost rid ourselves of the Black Cloud of Doom that has plagued us for years!

I think being on the same ship with Joel's parents would ensure something would happen to a drive shaft forcing us to stay aboard ship an extra day while in Mexico, the ship would get stuck in a PC lock forcing us to stay aboard ship an extra day or two while they get the locks fixed and/or some freaky tropical storm will hit the Leeward Islands and push a bunch of silt north towards the Bahamas causing the Magic to get stuck on a sandbar that formed under the ship as we're all playing on Castaway Cay forcing us to have to stay at the Cay and aboard ship a few days while a dredger is brought over from Florida. Yeah, that would be a bad thing ;)

Happy Birthday Stace

:bday: :bday: party: party: :rockband: :cake: :cake: :cake:


Sorry I am a little late but before midnight where I am.

[micmse2003]

Hello everyone!!! Before I play ketchup, I was curious as to who was on this late at night??? :confused3

[Esteri]

Wooo-Hoooo. It's a new personal record - 37 pages of ketchup in 75 minutes. :woohoo: Course, now I have to respond to the posts I marked... :eek:

Sorry in advance, about the groundhogs at that rate - I'm certain I missed stuff.

We've done CRT breakfast twice (this was before they made the changes). First time just me and DS, second time with a friend and her godson. My son wasn't really sure he wanted to do it, but he knew it was mainly for mom. First trip he was 8, next trip 9. Turns out he loved it, and was glad I had planned it again for the next trip. He loves characters and will wait in line for his favorites. However he won't wait in line for the princesses. Not that he doesn't want a pic with them, but he doesn't want anyone seeing him wait in line. So when he was able to get pics and autographs at the meal, he was pretty happy. Especially since they all called him prince and told him how handsome he is.

Thanks to everyone for the advice on CRT. Now that they've announced a P&P Party on same date we have our ressies - things may have to change. I asked DS10 and DS5 if they're rather do CRT or the P&P Party. After due consideration (about 90 seconds) partying with Pirates won out over Breakfast with Princesses. So, I've got to go back and relook at it all. Still - that's a Friday night, and the locals may be packing the place... Ah well, lots of time to figure it out I suppose.


You may be on to something there......remember my pic of my dad with Jasmine???

My thoughts exactly. :lmao:


Well, DS has had girl friends come over for a couple hours before. He tells me he is going to marry one of them. They have known each other most of their lives. They are pretty cute together talking about it. LOL! Then he is only 8 right now.

DS5 annuonced last week that he was going to marry Sydney. Sydney's mom called a few days later to ask about a play date. Apparently, Sydney is agreeable. So, they had a play date to celebrate the betrothal. :rotfl2:


DS told me after dinner at 1900 Park Faire that he wished he had worn his best clothes like the girls did for his pictures...that after saying that he didn't want to go at all. Prince Charming gave him a lesson in how to stand like a prince.

My boys could sure use some Prince lessons. Handsome lad.


One of my favorite scifi book series ..... "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. The movie did not do it justice!

Amen brother.


Where is that global warming they talk about?

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/brackjr/zglobalwarming.jpg

:rotfl: :laughing: :rotfl:


...

Anyhow, that is how the got their picture with the princesses. The girls were floating on a cloud the entire time and all of the princesses took the time to talk to everyone there. BJ brought us autographed copies the last night at dinner. I wasn't expecting that either...but imagine that they can't post the pictures in Shutters because it would create more problems than it would be worth.

Wow. Impressive recovery on the part of Disney.






We have a couple of fruit trees in back too... but our problem appears to include possums, rats, squirrels, birds ... and once we had a family of bobcats visit our back yard. Our neighbor saw them enter one very early morning - but neglected to tell me till a couple of days later <?!?> and they were long gone by then. Not to say they were after our fruits.


http://www.ri.net/schools/North_Providence/Birchwood/bobcat2.bmp


Maybe they're taking care of those possoms and rats and squirrels - Oh, My! Here kitty, kitty, kitty.



Not been keeping up with the thread regularly so hope we are not too late. Would want to order a t-shirt or 2 for both of us, and take a look at any other merchandise there may be, including magnets and pins and such.

Thanks

Tom and Diana

There will be loads of warning. I just posted it here to get a feel for the response and if I'd missed anything (like tank tops). There will be an email going out to everyone once I have all the information to help figure out what's going to work best. No worries.

Okay , I woke up to this ... :yay:

Pirates of the Caribbean : At Worlds End .(Movie Trailer)....its in Russian , but it looks great ...as soon as I get the English Version I will post too ...but that might not be until late tonight ...

Enjoy....I have many time already

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvloCSRCIJU

Uh. It's gone already. Something about it not meeting the posting requirements?


I was at church. I haven't figured out how to DIS during the services yet. :lmao:

Dude. Smartphone. :woohoo:


Just surfin' the web and I saw this teaser trailer for POTC3. It's in english.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ32BTaeaXc&mode=related&search=

I'm no expert, but all those scenes looked really familiar. It didn't look like much of a trailer to me. Still, if it was a fake - it was well done.


Is that "The Wench" or "The Boss" or "Both?"

My dad calls here "She Who Must Be Obeyed"

My husband? CIC-Spouse (who apparently can out rank the CIC in certain circles)


Are you volunteering? if so that would be great!

Have no idea why I marked this one.... Sigh. :sad2:

Oh yeah!! :idea: Liquor stores by HoJo's!! Can get liquor (yes, even the hard stuff) at the grocery stores in CA. So, it shouldn't be hard to find.


Ugggg. Computer / internet soooo slow.... can't ketchup....

Almost glad I have a 3+ hour conference call tomorrow, can you say ketchup mutli-task?

Just slip that privacy filter over your screen, and have at it!! Everyone will think you're taking copious amounts of notes! :rolleyes1

Thanks for sharing - I really did find this interesting. Trivia, but interesting.


Well, I've just discovered the downside of multiquoting an entire day's responses at one time. We're limited to 25 images in our posts. (I had 35.) I didn't know that. Had to go remove smilies from the posts I quoted.

[Esteri]

One more thing before I toddle off to bed...

DH does all the cooking. :stir: (Back Ladies! Go find your own! :cool2: ) Tonight's menu?

Shamrock Sushi
Corned Beef, Mozerella Cheese, and Carrot. Rolled in Nori (sushi seaweed) with sushi rice.
Stop laughing. It was really yummy! popcorn:: The kids couldn't eat them fast enough.

Only in CA would you find something that multi-cultural weird. :rolleyes:

A quick posting to say hi and to share what I've been up to today.

Went to the Ultimate Fan Event in SF. Tons of people in pirate garb. A few give aways. Saw P1 on the big screen again....awesome to see the one that started it all. Then at the very end, the P3 trailer....that's one EPIC movie...they even showed the trailer twice so we could catch bits that we didn't see the first time around.

And as an added bonus......Marty Klebba was there....we got pics and autographs

Now when you see micmse2003 you will know "Who Loves the Mouse in the House.":cheer2:

I hope your sniffles get better.:flower3:

We have that same kettle on our stove!

I do like the B&W theme. Really nice!

I'll have to take some pictures of my Disney room and post them soon. Talk about addicted.

We all have the same disease on this board. It is called Disneyitis!!

I would soooo love to do at least one room "Disney"! Maybe when I get rid of the next Stinky Teen!!

It took me til my baby was 25 to get her out of the house.:cheer2: You still have years to go.:rolleyes1

I enjoyed redoing the kid's rooms last year....DS's is Buzz & space, DD's is the Disney princesses. Our family room is going to have mainly Magical pictures & items we have picked up on the cruises...so that will be my Disney sanctuary.

Yep Lisa,you have the "Disneyitis disease too!!":

My Mickey Room is in the basement in his house. It is also my other computer room and where the wireless network is set up. I have not finished putting things where they belong yet but hope to do it soon. (Hey I've only been here 9 months!

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/brackjr/IMG_7515.jpg

It's also the room where I take computers apart and work on them. You'll see one in the corner in the last photo.

Don't let my DW know I'm showing this because she will be very :mad: at me because it is such a jumble mess ..... but it's my mess! :woohoo:

Brack I love it. :woohoo: I will never tell her.:rolleyes1

[got2travel]

We were actually on the 8/25 cruise (technically the week after Invincible opened up....)

It was the Western turned Eastern due to hurricane (the ONE we had last year)

I probably should be open and honest with the group, I have not had the best luck travelling... first family trip to the World was 9/16/01, had to drive instead of fly due to grounding of all planes. I was in Florida for one of the 4 bad hurricanes in 2004 (managed to get last plane out of Tampa - literally - we would have weathered it out, but would have meant missing youngest DS first day of Kindergarten....), 2006 cruise rerouted due to hurricane.... and other minor incidents on other trips (tornados, etc.) My Mother will not travel the same week I do vacations (although if any rooms open up on this trip she wants to come).



Are you sure you don't want to take the May repo??:rotfl:

We'll be at the midnight showing. My DS wasn't too sure about dressing up for the event today, but did anyway. Once he saw everyone else, he was glad he dressed up. Then when I asked if he would dress up for DL for the red carpet and for the midnight showing on opening day, he said he would. Even if he didn't I would.

Oh and the kids winner at ours was a little 3 or 4 yr old boy.

[got2travel]

Loved seeing the Disney rooms. In the slow process of remodeling my bathroom. It will be a Mickey bath when done.

It's been a long evening, I've managed to catch up, but I'm pooped, night all.

First the Bad News: Grumpy's Train House has Closed it's doors.:faint: The lady that we were sub-letting from couldn't come with the rent and decided it would be best for all concerned,to shut the doors. No way could we have come up with the all of the rent money by ourselves. Since we hadn't signed anything yet, we just gave the business back to the man we got it from.

I'm very sorry. But at least you got out, before you had a loss.

I'm sure everyone knows about the new Disney dollars that were available starting today at Disneyland. http://psc.disney.go.com/eventservices/disneygallery/media/events/pirates%20black%20pearl.jpg Pretty Cool. :thumbsup2

Anyway have a very Happy Monday!!!

DH said that Donald Trump has fired the grounhog. :confused3



Yea, well he should have been fires weeks ago, if you ask me.....................:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Verandah Man]

What a fun day.

My son and I got to attend the POT 3 preview. :dance3: The trailer is awesome. I can't wait until May.:hourglass

The theater here had a contest for best costume. A cute 6 year old from Staten Island won.

A man from Long Island came in 2nd place. He was pretty much a dead ringer for Jack Sparrow.

They played a few trivia games and had a raffle. Some of the prizes were pretty neat. An Ipod, a replica of Jack Sparrow's gun, figurines, tee shirts, Jack Sparrow doll, ticket to Madame Tussauds...

They gave everyone a Fan Kit which included a bandana, a PC game and a few other items.

Oh, they showed the trailer twice. It was a pretty long day, but we both enjoyed it.



Sounds like a great time, happy to hear you enjoyed your day!!! ;)

Sorry to hear your bad news...........:rolleyes:...............but glad to hear your good news........:thumbsup2

[Verandah Man]

Yes a friend of mine at work just dropped over 200 at the vet as he gave her some wet Iams last week for the dog and now the dog has bloody stools and damage to her kidneys. And the vet gave her the food to try. She is really upset about this.



How dreadful....................:sad2:

[Verandah Man]

A quick posting to say hi and to share what I've been up to today.

Went to the Ultimate Fan Event in SF. Tons of people in pirate garb. A few give aways. Saw P1 on the big screen again....awesome to see the one that started it all. Then at the very end, the P3 trailer....that's one EPIC movie...they even showed the trailer twice so we could catch bits that we didn't see the first time around.

And as an added bonus......Marty Klebba was there....we got pics and autographs

[kap158]

Good Morning Fellow Mateyspirate: :surfweb:

It has taken me over an hour:headache: to finally get onto the sight!

If this is any indication on how the day is going I should go back to bed! I am going thru Dis redrawel not being able to sign on! I knew I would be missing something.

Andy - stay warm today. We have temp of 25 degrees here now and I am cold.

Everyone have a "Happy Monday" (is their anyone who can have a happy Monday?)

Well anyway I am glad I was finally to get on the boards!

Talk to you later!

Good Night Andy!!!

Hi Pete, Lorri, Enna!!!

How are you feeling Liz??? I've been thinking about you this weekend and hope your better!

Txs MR... feeling better off the pain killers since Saturday.. just a little sore.. will know the results hopefully by Wednesday...

[kap158]

MR - the picture of your kids is great!

Have a good day at work!

[arlenesp]

TELL ME ABOUT IT! DW and I have almost rid ourselves of the Black Cloud of Doom that has plagued us for years!

I think being on the same ship with Joel's parents would ensure something would happen to a drive shaft forcing us to stay aboard ship an extra day while in Mexico, the ship would get stuck in a PC lock forcing us to stay aboard ship an extra day or two while they get the locks fixed and/or some freaky tropical storm will hit the Leeward Islands and push a bunch of silt north towards the Bahamas causing the Magic to get stuck on a sandbar that formed under the ship as we're all playing on Castaway Cay forcing us to have to stay at the Cay and aboard ship a few days while a dredger is brought over from Florida. Yeah, that would be a bad thing ;)

:rotfl: That's too funny!

[goofyforlife]

hmmmmm is it me or does the boy look like a young John Cryer?

Speaking of teens....is someone (aka Lisa :thumbsup2 ) going to have a list of STs willing to babysit for some port-spending cash?

Count my stinky teen in..... (15yo at time of sailing)

She's good with kids....and i'm guessing yours will be 3'ish by then...

[kab407]

Happy Monday all! :goodvibes

Just doing a little ketchup before getting the day going.

Happy Belated Birthday to all.

I have to say, your kids are gorgeous, stinky teens included. I love the Mickey themed rooms. I wouldn't mine a few mouse ear drawer pulls. I'll have to check HD or Lowes.

It's still a frozen tundra here. I hope that all this stuff magically melts and the flowers appear tomorrow. It's the first day of Spring, it's suppose to be this way!

For you AR fans, I am so glad the Joyce and Uchenna are still in it.

Catch you later!

I missed the last 20 min of the race as the game pushed everything back and I only extend that 30 min.Oh well, I got the info off the site. Glad for them. I wasn't happy about who came in first :mad: They just annoy me. I'd like to see C&M get to the yucky eating challenge:laughing:

It is chilly here this am. DH has a habit of lying on top of the blanket at night and as a result, last night he was cold so grabbed the blanket covering me and pulling it over. That woke me up. Poor dog hates when I raise my voice,(which is often).
Cheryl, Love the kitchen. Wish even 1 room was that clutterfree.

[lbgraves]

Yeah, DW mentioned that this may have been the cause for dear DKitty's sudden decline in health prompting us to have her put down :sad1: At least she had a long 14 years.

OMG! That is terrible. :(

[lbgraves]

hmmmmm is it me or does the boy look like a young John Cryer?

Ummmm......not such a good thing that DH had Titanic on last night I suppose. ;) Of course DD was in the room playing & didn't really say anything...wasn't sure if she was actually watching or not. Evidently she was because she came over, gave me a hug, and started sobbing uncontrolably about not wanting to go to school again. She didn't want the house to flood & her not be able to get to me. :( OY BOY!!! When she saw that it was a ship then it was all about Mickey getting off the ship too. DH finally got the hint that it was time for him to change the channel. I had to explain what was done differently then & how there are enough lifeboats for everyone on the Magic. :sad2:

Happy belated birthday Stacy! Hope you had :cake:

Monica, your pics are awesome! The email address for Detroit kept getting kicked back to me, so I didnt get a chance. I'm going to rush dd home from dance class so I can watch tonight and tape the trailer. Glad you guys had a great time.

I have a suggestion for this...DDs bestest friend ever panics every time we take a cruise because she's seen the movie. Point out to your DD what the water looks like...i.e. snow and ice. Also mention that what caused the damage was an iceberg and when Mickey sails, it's in the Caribbean (tropical water...hurricanes maybe, icebergs, definitely not. It's helped quite a bit!:flower3:

OK Joel, please tell me they are not coming with you:scared1:

Nope;) We did invite them, but they participate in the antique tractor show at our county fairgrounds that runs the week prior to Labor day each year. I think they were hoping we'd volunteer to switch to the WB Panama Cruise.

[ChrizJen]

Happy Monday everyone...:headache:

Hope you all had a great weekend! I had a very busy Saturday, and then spent yesterday not feeling too well. And Jen's tooth is still bothering her. She thinks it might be infected...so she's calling the dentist today to see what needs to be done from here. So anyhow, we spent the day just being lazy and taking it easy yesterday. I feel better today.

We have to take one of our kitties to the vet this evening. She's losing a bunch of her hair on her rear legs/hips and back. We thought for a while that she was overgrooming, like an OCD type thing...But the skin seems really irritated and red, so we're taking her in. I always get so nervous taking my cats to the vet. It only takes one trip to the vet and getting the "really bad news" to make you a little hesitant to take them in. :confused:

Anyway, just trying to ketchup. :thumbsup2

[lbgraves]

Yeah they had Pintel in Chicago , Marty in San Francisco , They had Jack the Monkey in LA and get this Orlando was in Atlanta ....

NO WAY!!!!! I didn't think that any of the three key roles would be out & about. That must have been a madhouse!

Don't let her see Poseidon then.....

I wont even watch that one.

Hope everyone feeling under the weather over the weekend is feeling better now! :grouphug:

Looks like it's going to be a pretty busy day today, so I may not get too many posts in. But I'll be lurking in and out all day to try to keep up.

Hope you all have a great day!:thumbsup2

How old is your Kitty? Hope she's okay.

We are still dealing with Beau's (our 13 1/2 yo Sheltie) recovery. He is SLOWLY improving. Hopefully, he will be better before we leave for Spring break. I'd hate leaving him if he is still sick. I have a friend coming to take care of him, but we have to board Sloopy, as he is too high-maintenance! He goes nuts when I am not home, even if everyone else is still there.

I am sorry to hear about your kitty. I hope your Beau is getting better also.

I own my own pet sitting business and fortunately the dogs I am taking care of now are not on any of the dog foods affected.

I went to PetSmart today to get some dog food and alot of the shelves are empty.

I hope everyone's pet that was affected by this gets better.

I have a suggestion for this...DDs bestest friend ever panics every time we take a cruise because she's seen the movie. Point out to your DD what the water looks like...i.e. snow and ice. Also mention that what caused the damage was an iceberg and when Mickey sails, it's in the Caribbean (tropical water...hurricanes maybe, icebergs, definitely not. It's helped quite a bit!:flower3:




Karen that's a really great suggestion. My son is old enough to figure out that things have changed. But for the younger ones, this is something that would make perfect sense to them.

Hi Crew! Just checking in! My DS is turning stinky teen tomorrow, so we were busy celebrating his birthday over the weekend.

Happy birthday to Margaret Ann and Anna!!:cheer2:

Julie, I am so sorry!! Take care and I hope everything will be OK! :hug:

[lotsofboys]

Just a quick post to say that I won't be on for a while -- family emergency. We've even had to cancel our cruise for this Saturday.


:grouphug:s Julie, you were so looking forward to your trip. Take care and post when you can.

I never logged on yesterday, and it wasn't too bad catching up today! Woohoo! :yay:
I loved all the pics of the Disney Rooms! Very cool!!! :thumbsup2

[got2travel]

Yeah they had Pintel in Chicago , Marty in San Francisco , They had Jack the Monkey in LA and get this Orlando was in Atlanta ....

I thought Orlando went to the Hollywood one? And from what I heard he didn't sign any autographs. Marty was so gracious and signed anything and everything, and obliged us in pics although most people didn't have cameras since we couldn't take them into the theater.

[got2travel]

Okay...I'm outta here. Off to see the hand specialist to see what or if there is anything that can be done to help the lingering wrist pain from my fall in November.

Later!


good luck Stace

Good Morning all!!!:surfweb:

I hope everyone stays nice and warm today. It's supposed to warm up to the mid 40s and rain, hopefully taking some of the stinkin' snow with it!

Lil' Grumpy...my favorite smiley is :flower3: Here's a :flower3: for you to feel better soon!!!

Regarding TITANTIC. The first time I saw the movie I had taken my neice who was 10 at the time I ended up in the hospital with a gallbladder attack. I never saw the end of the movie. What caused it was all the butter my neice put on the popcorn. I thought I was having a heart attack and I drove to my sisters house in such pain I didn't think I was going to make it. My sister being a nurse and her neighbors are also nurses came over to check me out and wanted to call an ambulance. NO WAY, we drove to the hospital and after sonogram, exray detrmined that I had an infection in my gallbladder and could't operate until the infection went away. I was so upset because I didn't see the whole movie. It took me 5 years to actually sit down and watch the DVD. Now I watch the movie all the time.
When it came to go on my first cruise after watching the movie I kept saying to myself "MICKEY WILL WATCH OVER ME" and also there are no icebergs in the Carribbean.!

Hmmm you might be right it might have been hollywood , but someone said atlanta ...but thing you are correct on is that Orlando just came in and announced the Movie ...No PIcs No autographs no nothing ....most didnt even know he was there ...

Ok Good Afternoon, good morning etc.

Not doing quotes but have done ketchup for the last 12 hours.

Loved all of the pictures, Inc Captain crash those are great. Cakes, kitchens Rooms, Disney stuff.

Happy birthday to all I have missed.

Julie/Bellelinus, sorry to here of problem in family hope its ok ASAP.

Panama Canal the question of shutters staff getting on and off.

Yes the ship proceeds very slowly through the locks; at each lock as it enters they hook the ship up to the mules (little trains) the ship is pulled in very slowly.

The shutters staff have the time to get on and off they have special permission to do so and can just walk across.

The Magic is very tight into the lock so basically no gap but they do put a ramp/wood plank across for shutters to walk across.

Whilst I viewed last time, DCL took some local kids in at the second lock and I could see them walk across, I think it was for some charity etc, and I believe they went to the bridge and given a nice day.

All I would recommend is to be viewed, from the shore, wave, get yourself noticed etc if you want a picture and try to put something on your verandah, or wear something noticeable so you can find your pictures quickly.

Remember this time is 15 days and shutters will remove pictures, we missed a couple and had to go through box after box, they have an idea from days etc, but last time with 14 days with all of the viewing experiences they ran out of sp

[micmse2003]

Nope;) We did invite them, but they participate in the antique tractor show at our county fairgrounds that runs the week prior to Labor day each year. I think they were hoping we'd volunteer to switch to the WB Panama Cruise. My response, "So...you want us to pull your GKs out of school for two weeks (they won't miss any on the EB) so you can show an Antique Tractor?" :confused3

We all would like to give you a group :grouphug: I hope your parents have a very nice time at the antique tractor pull.:yay: :yay:

TELL ME ABOUT IT! DW and I have almost rid ourselves of the Black Cloud of Doom that has plagued us for years!

I think being on the same ship with Joel's parents would ensure something would happen to a drive shaft forcing us to stay aboard ship an extra day while in Mexico, the ship would get stuck in a PC lock forcing us to stay aboard ship an extra day or two while they get the locks fixed and/or some freaky tropical storm will hit the Leeward Islands and push a bunch of silt north towards the Bahamas causing the Magic to get stuck on a sandbar that formed under the ship as we're all playing on Castaway Cay forcing us to have to stay at the Cay and aboard ship a few days while a dredger is brought over from Florida. Yeah, that would be a bad thing ;)

I guess it would not be bad as long as paychecks will still me coming.:laughing:

Question for past cruisers?

I see a lot of mention of renting cars from Budget at the port. But I can't stand Budget and would really rather not rent from them. Is there anyone else who rents at the port and/or has shuttles to their rental locations? I want to rent from the port, stay a few days in Orlando, then return the car to MCO.

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Yes at least one each side, my guess at least two each side front/back.

Last time couldnt see all the way up the ship, but there were pictures from all levels and the top deck, both sides etc.

BUT THEY HAVE LIMITED TIME SO MAKE NOISE. if you want a pic badley.

A quick posting to say hi and to share what I've been up to today.

Went to the Ultimate Fan Event in SF. Tons of people in pirate garb. A few give aways. Saw P1 on the big screen again....awesome to see the one that started it all. Then at the very end, the P3 trailer....that's one EPIC movie...they even showed the trailer twice so we could catch bits that we didn't see the first time around.

And as an added bonus......Marty Klebba was there....we got pics and autographs

Ummmm......not such a good thing that DH had Titanic on last night I suppose. ;) Of course DD was in the room playing & didn't really say anything...wasn't sure if she was actually watching or not. Evidently she was because she came over, gave me a hug, and started sobbing uncontrolably about not wanting to go to school again. She didn't want the house to flood & her not be able to get to me. :( OY BOY!!! When she saw that it was a ship then it was all about Mickey getting off the ship too. DH finally got the hint that it was time for him to change the channel. I had to explain what was done differently then & how there are enough lifeboats for everyone on the Magic. :sad2:

I wondered a few (hundred) posts ago whether anyone was looking for liquor stores near the HoJo's / DL to save travelling on airlines with booze. Somehow asking this converted to several of you volunteering me to do it.....

(Note to self: Don't ask questions requiring research or you will be volunteered to do it!)

Of course since the search doesn't work I couln't find the oringal e-mail to retract my thoughts so I could accuse those who quoted it of fabrication and other neat accusatory terms. :rotfl:

Actually it was quite easy, Google Maps and Yahoo Maps both agree that there is a liquor store .15 miles south (?? towards the bottom of the map) of the HoJo's and a few others near by. I plotted them on Google Earth and saved the image, but as near as my IT challenged self can figure, I can't upload the image and can't access photosharing from work, so (after wasting all this wonderful text and space), what do we do if we have good, useful, (dare I say) on topic, and important information? Do we send the map and text to someone? Do I just hold it and say "Na, na, na, na, na, naaa, I can get booze and you can't" (no wait, already gave my room number to the alleged 'website', don't want them all knocking at 4 am to steal my booze...) :rotfl2:

Don't worry, we're just joking about nominating you. But you did some great research. There are several liquor stores nearby, plus a few grocery stores (our CA stores sell booze too). We'll be ok. Plus, if you have heard MR will be bringing a 400lb backpack of booze to go along with her blender. We'll be set with booze.

If you want to send the info to Lisa, her email is on the first page. She'll make sure it gets on the website.

Avis and Thrifty both have rentals closer to the port with Shuttles

National is a little further out but you have to take a taxi to them.

I've used BUdget once - didn't like their cars

We used Thrifty last trip - rented a Pacifica - everything went well.
(we even upgraded from full size to the premium size at last minute and it was only a $10 daily upcharge.)

Don't worry, I didn't take the nomination seriously, just had time to kill on the marathon conference call today and was being OCD for my own benefit......

I just ordered 8 pins for a total including tax $25.62. There are Lion King and Mary Poppins on Broadway pins that retail for $4.99, but with the code, it only charged $2.99. Plus it's free shipping Mondays.

Great deal for traders. Someone on that thread asked if the Broadway pins are tradable, and yes they are, we've traded with them before.

Yeah, DW mentioned that this may have been the cause for dear DKitty's sudden decline in health prompting us to have her put down :sad1: At least she had a long 14 years.

My heart goes out to you!! My cat was diagnosed with CRF (Chronic Renal Failure) last spring and we thought she was going to have to be put down, too. She was 9 at the time. Vet said she didn't need to be put down if we could care for her. We said we'd try and she was immediately put on a prescription food, an antibiotic, PhosLo, Pepcid & we had to give her 100ccs lactated ringers, subcutaneously. The fluids was the hardest part. Ever try to give a cat an IV??? Not easy, let me tell you. They say they get used to it, not my cat. Anyway, many cats in her condition are on this regiment for life. Thankfully, it's almost a year later and she is down to prescription food and 100ccs of fluids about once or twice a week.

Thankfully my cat only eats dry food, but the vet said that while she couldn't say for sure, it could have been caused by "grocery store" brand foods.

We have to take one of our kitties to the vet this evening. She's losing a bunch of her hair on her rear legs/hips and back. We thought for a while that she was overgrooming, like an OCD type thing...But the skin seems really irritated and red, so we're taking her in. I always get so nervous taking my cats to the vet. It only takes one trip to the vet and getting the "really bad news" to make you a little hesitant to take them in. :confused:

Not sure if you've reposted, but I wanted to say that my cat had this problem when we first got her. Turns out she was allergic to fleas. Not the best things but it's easy enough to take care of. Hope she fairs well.

Just a quick post to say that I won't be on for a while -- family emergency. We've even had to cancel our cruise for this Saturday.

Here's another P3 tidbit

Just a quick, funny scene. It's hilarious.

That made me LOL!! Just makes me even more excited for my May trip!!

[brack]

:eek: :eek: The news just did a story on the i***t that jumped off of the Carnival ship. They said he was not talking about why ..... DUH!! :eek: :eek:

[daipp]

I know it's a long time before we leave BUT something that's been nagging me for a few weeks about this cruise.......

How do we go about "one-way" rentals for tuxedos / dinner-suits etc - collecting in California and drop-off in Florida. Coming from the UK, I really do not want to have to bring dinner-suits for me and my son. There'll be enough luggage with he dresses for my wife and daughter without adding to it !! Also, I'll be bringing two rugby jerseys for Castaway Cay !!

Any previous eastbound repo cruisers remember what they did?

Any help, as always is greatly appreciated.

Earliest uses
Slate's Daniel Engber dates the modern usage to 1974 college campuses, where it was perhaps an outgrowth of the Vietnam War. The origins of the phrase are uncertain, with some speculating that it may refer to being "out in the open" or "ready for action." According to Engber many soldiers do go without underwear to "increase ventilation and reduce moisture." The earliest known use of the term in print is January 22, 1985 when Jim Spencer wrote in the Chicago Tribune:

Furthermore, colored briefs are 'sleazy' and going without underwear ('going commando', as they say on campus) is simply gross"."Going commando" may also come from the mistaken idea that "commandos" go into an area "without cover."

The origin of the term "going commando" may connect to the tradition in military units of Scottish heritage to not wear underwear under their kilts. The first Commando units were raised and trained in Scotland in WW2 (which is where the present-day Commando Monument is).

------

Going commando appears to be an increasingly popular practice. A 2004 study of 7,000 people by the New York-based clothier Freshpair revealed that 9% of men and 7% of women go commando day-to-day. Those who do so semiregularly are much more numerous, possibly around 25-30%, and most people have tried it at some point.

Thanks for the info ........ I think. :confused3


Not me ...... ever! :eek:


Should we take a poll? ......... NOT!!!

I was at church. I haven't figured out how to DIS during the services yet. :lmao:

I appreciate all of the suggestions to help me with this problem.

What I failed to mention is that usually I am a part of the program at church. Many times I am the one who is delivering the sermon so most of the suggestions still won't work. :confused3

A quick posting to say hi and to share what I've been up to today.

Went to the Ultimate Fan Event in SF. Tons of people in pirate garb. A few give aways. Saw P1 on the big screen again....awesome to see the one that started it all. Then at the very end, the P3 trailer....that's one EPIC movie...they even showed the trailer twice so we could catch bits that we didn't see the first time around.

Can't wait for MAY 25.

This is way cool! It looks like you all had fun. :thumbsup2

[brack]

I missed the last 20 min of the race as the game pushed everything back and I only extend that 30 min.Oh well, I got the info off the site. Glad for them. I wasn't happy about who came in first :mad: They just annoy me. I'd like to see C&M get to the yucky eating challenge:laughing:


I have TiVo set for this show's regular time plus an hour and a half! I got tired of missing any of it.

I too was disappointed in the end of the last show. :scared1: "Yucky Eating Challenge" would be cool for them but I still want them gone.

Hellooooo Everyone and Happy Monday UGH!

I'll be back in a little when I ketchup with today's posts!

[brack]

Well, guess that I will get back to the taxes. I couldn't find the w2s anywhere so called DH. They put them out online now. OY! I will have to wait for him to email the link to me so that I can print them out.

It's too early for me to do my taxes. I usually wait until April 15th to do mine! :lmao:

The IRS ask for us to send them by then and I always like to do what the IRS ask of me ...... not a day sooner. :confused3

[dahuffy]

Mom just called....It's A Girl!:yay: She raises Miniature Horses and we weren't expecting this one for another 6-7 weeks. Mom came home and saw what she thought was the cat, wrong. I'll have to go check her out this evening and I'll let ya'll know how things are.

Question for past cruisers?

I see a lot of mention of renting cars from Budget at the port. But I can't stand Budget and would really rather not rent from them. Is there anyone else who rents at the port and/or has shuttles to their rental locations? I want to rent from the port, stay a few days in Orlando, then return the car to MCO.

I'm sure that there are other companies but I have never had a problem with Budget anywhere I've been.

[brack]

Yes at least one each side, my guess at least two each side front/back.

Last time couldnt see all the way up the ship, but there were pictures from all levels and the top deck, both sides etc.

BUT THEY HAVE LIMITED TIME SO MAKE NOISE. if you want a pic badley.

Good point! I hope to have a banner with us as well.

[O'BWV]

hmmmmm is it me or does the boy look like a young John Cryer?

Speaking of teens....is someone (aka Lisa :thumbsup2 ) going to have a list of STs willing to babysit for some port-spending cash?



You know I never thought of it before, but John does resemble Jon Cryer......and to think just a few short years ago, he was a double for the kid who starred in "Millions"

Don't worry, I didn't take the nomination seriously, just had time to kill on the marathon conference call today and was being OCD for my own benefit......

I guess we should all be careful not to bump into MR in the terminal or we might have 400 lbs of booze and broken glass all over?


I especially would like to thank you Tom because I will have to buy the 400 lbs. of booze in CA......usually I drive my 100 lbs of booze to Fl!! So I will definitely be looking for a liquor store......Now I will be visited my darling SIL while in CA, so if I could somehow convince her to shop for the 400 lbs of booze before I even land in CA.....ALL THE BETTER!! :rotfl2:

Oh, and since they are pre-mixed blender drinks (of the TGI Friday variety)...they usually come in plastic bottles. :thumbsup2

[O'BWV]

Oh, and BTW.......all of you are going to have to lend me and my family cruise clothing and toiletries..........thank you in advance :lmao: :lmao:

Not me either brack.............The more undergarments the better I always say. Besides what about chaffing? :lmao: :rotfl2:

[PBader]

I am now car-less for tomorrow. I took my car in for an oil change today and told them I heard a rubbing noise in my steering wheel. They said there is something wrong in the power steering and they should have it fixed by late tomorrow afternoon. At least it is still under factory warranty--but aggravating.

Hey there Paula.....sorry about your wheels....but thank goodness it's under warranty. Anything to do with car repair today costs a fabulous fortune!

Thanks for offering to lend us clothing too........I think I might try this "going commando" thing, so I just need outergarments and shoes :rotfl:

The cruise line will use the same company they usually do. The items will be in your room when you board. :) The link to the company is in one of the earlier summaries.

[lbgraves]

All my pics were taken in the lobby. Once we were let in, I checked my cell phone and camera with Guest Services. Others got in with theirs, but as soon as they took them out, there was someone right there making them go check it.

That was nice of them to provide that service.

That happened to me about 2 months ago - it was the rack and pinion?? I don't know how to spell it. Anyways - it took 2 days to fix and luckily we had the extended warranty so we did not have to pay for it. It is now making that noise again - I need to get it back in there. Good luck with yours!
