[87Heel]

Soup's almost ready.

[tynkerbell]

My SIL wants me to design "Save the Date" cards for her wedding. I'm not that great at things like that but for some reason my inlaws think I am and I keep getting volunteered for things like this. :crazy:

[goofyforlife]

[MrsMork]

I'm back for 5 min to help :surfweb:

[brack]

The board is still very slow. That might help with 40 second rule.

Good snag Dody...is that your second major pirate in a row?

[brack]

OK that was fun and not profitable. Congratulations Dody.

[klineyqueen]

Yes, extreme home makeover is 6 blocks from me right now!
That is so HOT!!!! Yummy!

[tynkerbell]

Good snag Dody...is that your second major pirate in a row?

Yep. I didn't think I had it though because when I hit submit it took forever to load.

[klineyqueen]

Glad to see you back Kristina!!!

[MrsMork]

Vanessa and all - can you help me with the basket issue too - I'm not that into getting al ot of food items and candy since we will be eating all week. What else would be fun and practical for the ship?

Lisa had said before that Shirley will do just about anything but I don't even know what to ask for. Are there sand toys available at CC or should we get them in the baskets?

thanks.

elaine
There are some you can check out at Scuttles Cove, but FEW and you can't really count on them. I am going to order one from Shirley. I think I will ask her to put a juice box in there for Costa Maya day and then see what else she suggests. I'm thinking we won't need food also.

[klineyqueen]

I bought some buckets and shovels, etc in the dollar spot of target that I'll pack and bring. Then I can probably leave them behind and I'll have extra luggage space for souvies! :teeth:

That is what I am doing. They will be tink gifts for the first night.

I am going to stop at a grocery store before we leave and get juice boxes for our shore days. I don't want my kids drinking milk from strange countries.

[lillygator]

buckets are 0.50 - 1.50 here in Florida....! If they weren't such a pain to lug around I would bring some for everyone. I have a garage full.....

Samantha and Haley are eating dinner....a "romantic dinner" Samantha calls it as they are dining by candlelight. Oh if she only knew.

DH is on his way home and I hope to get them to bed early!

Elaine - bucket stuff - pretty much anything you can think of can go in there.

[lillygator]

thank goodness we have TWO Chip tea cups (from the Beauty and the Beast tea set) or a major war would have broken out.

Yep. I didn't think I had it though because when I hit submit it took forever to load.

This was me yesterday afternoon.

I'd snuck back in (library) to catch up on posts. DH was taking the boys to their baseball games and I was going to meet them at the ball fields. I get a call on my cell from DH saying "Where are you? Aren't you coming to their games?"

(No dear, I'm STILL catching up on my DIS addiction. I'll be there in a minute, thank you very much.)

Jeez, it wasn't like I was missing their WEDDING or something!

And you'll be happy to know I got there with one whole minute to spare! :rotfl:


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: You really need that laptop back!

So was that one minute before the beginning or end of the game? ;)

I was wondering the same thing?!?! :rolleyes1

Just wanted to hello! I headed back to work in Sept., so I have not been able to keep up with you all. My DD's grab the net when we are home! I did get in a quick trip to WDW in Sept. & enjoyed MNSSHP for the 1st time! It was awesome! Loved the parade, the candy & the ghost at HM!! Now it's time to play a little catch up! Many posts to read. :wave: Bye for now. pirate:

:welcome: Back and happy catching up Tavia! Glad you are joining back in all the crazyness!! :goodvibes

Something is slow tonight the computer or the network.

ughh, do I have to dress her too?

My sister keeps calling me.....she is going to be Alice and her boyfriend is going to be the Mad Hatter....well steal the star from my marquee, we were going to be (John) The Queen of Hearts, Me, Mad Hatter, Samantha, Alice and Haley - wasn't sure on.

Now I guess we will stick with pirates although I am sure the park won't be hurting on those.

I'm sorry Vanessa...sounds like a huge bummer on your trip. Is this how you grew up too?? :sad2:

This was me all day.

[pyramid2000]

I talked to my BF today... she and her family cruised in June and were going to rebook onboard but didn't. She tells me the CM said that I could rebook for her on our cruise if she changes her mind and get the 10% off and stateroom credit. So BF wants to give me a check for the deposit and have me book another cruise for her. Is this really possible? I thought if you didn't rebook while you were there you are out of luck on receiving the discounts? Anyone here know? :confused3

I have heard of this happening. ::yes::

[brack]

Brack strikes again!! pirate:

I've been a little lucky on the minor pirate:s but not so lucky on the major ones.

[pyramid2000]

I'm at work and need to go home now but I don't want to because we are so close to the 38,000 mark. As much as you all have been posting someone will hit that while I'm in the Harbor Tunnel!

Ahhh, the reason for the posting frenzy! :cool1:

[pyramid2000]

I am getting so excited and antsy now that the cruise is less than 2 months away!! :yay: :yay: :yay:

I know!! Isn't it exciting?!?!?!?! :goodvibes

[brack]

Ahhh, the reason for the posting frenzy! :cool1:

It's going to get more hectic soon. We have to reach 50,000 before the end of the month. I believe it's a law somewhere .... http://bestsmileys.com/computer1/9.gif

Another silly from the Morkerts...DrHug had a quad bypass and when they came to take him to surgery my BIL put a sticky note on his forehead that said "cut here". :lmao: :rotfl2: The surgeon had a great sense of humor and thought that was very :rotfl:

[pyramid2000]

She offered me all kinds of choices I had not even considered when I called. DD is getting crayons and coloring books and lip gloss and glitter and on and on.... Call them they were GREAT!!!! She offered popcorn and pretzles and all kinds of candy but DD is not big on food at all. She is putting the sand toys in, beach towels, sun block, etc...

That sounds awesome...Now you have me thinking about it! :scratchin

Haley would make a cute little white rabbit. :)

[lbgraves]

I was kind of concerned about having only one bucket. I guess I could always pack a small one.

Becka, that is easily solved. ;) Just ask her to put two buckets inside each other so it fills like one.

[Jhalkias]

I ran again this morning and I feel like the living dead today. I just want to put my head down on the desk and close my eyes! I can barely keep my eyes open! I have tried rootbeer jelly beans, but no luck. I have my huge Diet Coke, nothing... Um this wasn't this hard 7 years ago. Is this an age thing? I thought after 2 weeks you were not supposed to be sore anymore. Is is that I have more stuff moving around than I did 7 years ago? Anyone? Is there enough ibuprofen at the grocery store for me today? NO!

Sorry Kim,

Since I am suffering from the same disease, I cannot help you . . .

You guys must have made 38k and all went away.

I just got home, and am taking a minute to try and catch up before I get Sophia to bed.

[lbgraves]

What's for dinner tonight?

Well, I had a nice talk with DD about what is & isn't acceptable, she read me her homework book (without any help from me!!!), and I reviewed DS's homework with him. They were both done before DH got home from work. I hadn't started on dinner yet so while I was quizzing DD on her spelling words for the week...since she insisted that she didn't need to write them...DH grilled the porkchops & made mashed potatoes. :) He even did the dishes. :love: DD did know 9 out of 10 words so I told her to write "of" five times. She wrote it 101 times! Sure knows it now. ;)

[lbgraves]

O.K. - pardon me, but I'm going to whine for a minute.

I WANT MY COMPUTER BACK! :furious:

There, I feel much better! Don't know if it's the DIS or the Library's computers, but it's taking forever to post. The keyboard keeps freezing up, then I get "server is too busy" messages. Must be a hint to get outta here.


But, before I go.....one of my all-time favorite SATC episodes was when Carrie goes to Mr. Big's apartment, discovers he's leaving NYC and moving to Napa, she makes fun of his taste in music, he plays "Moon River" on the stereo, she says it's corny, he says it's classic. They go on a last NYC "date" -- carriage ride through Central Park, Carrie says it's corny, Big says it's classic. Same episode where Miranda has her baby. Carrie tries to get back in time to say a last goodbye and he's already gone. She walks into an empty room and finds he's left her the Henry Mancinni album and a 1st Class plane ticket to CA. :sad:



Am I the only one who has never watched SATC?

[lbgraves]

I wonder if she could stack 2 buckets?

GMTA!

[ruley3]

Am I the only one who has never watched SATC?

Nope I haven't watched it!!! We seem to only have Handy Manny on at our house lately!!!

[brack]

Am I the only one who has never watched SATC?

I have never watched two whole shows. It just never appealed to me.

[ruley3]

So help I am sooooooooooooo sick every night hungry yet sick at the same time...I think I am going to bed because this is such a TERRIBLE feeling! My first OB appointment is tomorrow!!!

[lbgraves]

1 day down..... 1 witch to fry in a half hour....


That doesn't sound like too much fun. How did the witch fry go?

[lbgraves]

http://www.nearlygood.com/smilies/pray.gif

Please not let me go to h-e-double hockeysticks for calling a catholic school parent a witch....

:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

No way! :rotfl: I swore that my 7th grade teacher Sister Shaun was one. Years later word got back that she was institutionalized. I could have told them she was crazy alot earlier. :rolleyes1

30000 10/1/06

Here it is 10/16 and we just posted 38000!!!

8100 posts in 15 days = 540 posts per day.
15 more days to October x 540 = another 8100 posts so to 46200 by 10/31/06.
30 days in November x 540 = 16200 > 62400 by 11/30/06.
Even stopping on 12/6 for travel for most of us that is another 3240 posts.

Potential of reaching 65640 by cruise time!!!! :cool1:

I am bummed. Rec is losing and he was 5-0....Spurrier screwed him at FL and this is his "senior" year in the NFL. I won already so it doesn't matter if he "scores" but I'd love him to have his "nat'l championship".

Wasn't that great!?!??! :cool1: I cracked up at his explaination of the drug charges in France. :rotfl:

I just got an email from DS's teacher asking about the cruise. She is brainstorming to put together an independant study for him!!! :)

[elaineteresa]

Just when we had Andy snookered into thinking we were all normal - he disappears on us. alas!!!

how U be, Kristina?

[elaineteresa]

lots of anxiety over the weekend but the teachers received an 11th hour contract last night after 3 years without one - and we were all in school today.

elaine

[Bella2000]

Those little things in speak tell someone immediately that you aren't from that place.


Over the years I've changed certain things based on where I have traveled and some have stuck. In ATL everything is Coke - orange coke please. I kept my Pepsi fix hidden. ;) In KC,MO I think it was Pop or was that Cincy? One was soda and one was pop can't recall which.

When I worked in New York (Upstate and Manhattan) things were different and when I lived in Manhattan I specifically changed to waiting online vs. inline.


by the way growing up:
It's not soda or pop but tonic.

Lisa - if we can collect anything for DS at that "other" ruins tour on Costa Maya - please let me know. Not sure what his independent study will entail.
I believe the 2 sites should be quite different.

[elaineteresa]

I haven't even told the teacher DD is going on a cruise yet. :rolleyes:


I am considering my timing on this myself. Since we just went to WDW - I thought it would look bad if I announced the cruise shortly after returning. I was hoping to wait until parent conferences - but that may not be until Nov. and I feel funny waiting that long - seems sneaky.

Vanessa and all - can you help me with the basket issue too - I'm not that into getting al ot of food items and candy since we will be eating all week. What else would be fun and practical for the ship?

Lisa had said before that Shirley will do just about anything but I don't even know what to ask for. Are there sand toys available at CC or should we get them in the baskets?

thanks.

elaineDD enjoyed the sand toys but really loved the DCL binocs. She sat on the veranda with DH and looked out over the ocean.

I've never seen SATC either. I remember trying to watch an episode once and quickly lost interest and never tried again.

Weird... my post double posted. Shouldn't the 40 second rule have stopped that? :confused3

[klineyqueen]

So help I am sooooooooooooo sick every night hungry yet sick at the same time...I think I am going to bed because this is such a TERRIBLE feeling! My first OB appointment is tomorrow!!!
Good Luck!!! Have fun tomorrow! Maybe you will get to see the heart beat!

Alright fellow creative Disers...need your help...

A friend of mine's parents will be having their house destroyed since the kind State of PA is taking over the land for a highway. They live near Philly. She is looking for an idea of what they can take/do as a keepsake from the house before it gets destroyed.

I mentioned take window moulding/doorframe moulding and create either a picture frame or mirror.

Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!

Bricks for a walkway at their new home.
Depending on how old the home is door knobs can be taken and attached to wood to make hooks.

[Bella2000]

I still need to get the website tshirt jpeg into a "vectored format" and the font non disney. Can anyone do that for me?
Does anyone have PSP?

[klineyqueen]

So what exactly was THAT referring to Miss Innocent?

John1
Ty!!!! Hey...your wife brought it up!

[Bella2000]

I am considering my timing on this myself. Since we just went to WDW - I thought it would look bad if I announced the cruise shortly after returning. I was hoping to wait until parent conferences - but that may not be until Nov. and I feel funny waiting that long - seems sneaky.

elaineExactly! I had the same thoughts!

[Bella2000]

I've only read the last few pages to get into a happy place. Got to go back to working. Night all.

I haven't even told the teacher DD is going on a cruise yet. :rolleyes:

Same here. I probably won't mention it to their schools until after thanksgiving. :rolleyes1

I just added Dody's milestone to the site & was surprised by what I saw.

The thread started on 11/25/04.
10000 8/2/06
20000 9/4/06
30000 10/1/06

Here it is 10/16 and we just posted 38000!!!

8100 posts in 15 days = 540 posts per day.
15 more days to October x 540 = another 8100 posts so to 46200 by 10/31/06.
30 days in November x 540 = 16200 > 62400 by 11/30/06.
Even stopping on 12/6 for travel for most of us that is another 3240 posts.

Potential of reaching 65640 by cruise time!!!! :cool1:
Well Lisa - we will do our best!!!!

[klineyqueen]

These calculations are based on a linear progression but I'm betting that the posting is going to increase exponentially like it has so far. We could reach 100,000 before we sail!
http://jm.g.free.fr/smileys/unclassified/cool.gif

That is cool....I like the way you think Brack!

[lbgraves]

She sounds like she is really trying. That is so cool!!

Now I need to talk to DD's teacher. Somehow I don't think that will be important to her at the moment.

for all of you who love those men and women in military attire... here is a squadron of bored Naval Aviators aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and is one of the best "home produced" videos I've seen.

PS: That's the VAW-116 skipper dressed in the bathrobe.

Can I cruise with them?? PUMP IT!

[klineyqueen]

I just got an email from DS's teacher asking about the cruise. She is brainstorming to put together an independant study for him!!! :)
That is cool. It seems like she really cares about your DS.

[klineyqueen]

lots of anxiety over the weekend but the teachers received an 11th hour contract last night after 3 years without one - and we were all in school today.

elaine
That is wonderful. You must be so relieved!

Lisa,

You need to send this to Christy!

OMG - the round yellow guy is so diving not falling!

Very funny, John. I will have you know that over the summer I went to a lake, walked on a pier (with a camera in hand) and did not, I repeat did not fall in at all. I was pretty nervous though. ;)

Oh, yeah, check out my new tag. :lmao:

Lisa - if we can collect anything for DS at that "other" ruins tour on Costa Maya - please let me know. Not sure what his independent study will entail.
I believe the 2 sites should be quite different.

elaine

Thanks! I am thinking that we should have enough education opps to mix in with the regular work. I included the tour with interactive ruins time, visiting the village school to donate and observe, stingrays at CC, catameran at CC with history of island, possible research for Cozumel since we have nothing planned there, plotting our group's location on a map to note the States figuring distance traveled to reach the port & find out who is going the greatest & shortest distance, interactions with CMs to find out about where they are from, and ask the Captain a few questions. Of course, I could also include something about budgeting for the trip or gas milage on our way to the port. He is learning how to use a calculator (they have to use one for the EOG tests in 3rd grade) so he could figure that kind of stuff out. He can do the math work before the cruise either before we leave or on the trip down to get it over with. I want him to keep a journal this trip too. He really liked having one last year.

[waltsgirl]

They are in my town this week. They are six blocks away right now!

That is such a cool idea, Amy! :thumbsup2

[waltsgirl]

hmm....mother's ring or diamonds? I'll take diamonds.


Samantha's is Opal, Haley's is Amethyst - love that one! My grandma had huge superstitions about opal's, can't remember what exactly....but instead of opal they now do some pink thing which I don't care for.....and my birthstone = yuck! topaz/citrine....

I don't have lots of jewels....but diamonds, dark blue (black) sapphires and tanzanite are my favorites.

If opals aren't your birthstone they are supposed to be bad luck!

[lbgraves]

That is cool. It seems like she really cares about your DS.

She is the best! :thumbsup2 She is just as concerned as I am about him learning and being challenged. She is on the AG team for the county schools...so knows her stuff about what these kids need. That is the only reason I am confident that DS will be taken care this year.

So sad and scary.

A few years ago, I had to have foot surgery and the doctor actually wrote ON my leg with a sharpie pen "THIS LEG".

I kid you not. :sad2:

My mom had knew surgery and she wrote that on her own leg!!

[lbgraves]

It sounds like your little lad will be very busy!

I am thinking that he can do alot of the initial leg work for these in the weeks before we leave so that he can still have fun on the cruise. :cool1: He has to read anyway so a book or two on stingrays and the ruins or Costa Maya would help with that. He can do the map beforehand too.

[klineyqueen]

Hi Amy, are you having fun on your mini vacation?

pretty much nowhere, my family moved around all over the US -- over 20 moves in 12 years. I lived in California the longest during that time -- 5 years in middle school/high school. Then Minnesota for the last 13 years. Actually I'm really feeling like it's time to move but dh doesn't want to.

They have those huge flashing signs up on the streets around that say Extreme Makeover in process slow down. They have metal barriers on both sides of the street for spectator area. They even have a spectator bus stop!

Tana i will try to call you tomorrow. We got in later than we expected as we missed our connecting flight in Chicago due to leaving late from Akron canton due to the plane being late coming in. We arrived at Chicago and ran to the gate which was clear across the airport and got there just as the plane was backing away from the gate! I thought I was going to scream.... of course I couldn't because I couldn't breathe therefore I couldn't scream!!


Any way we are here and the hotel is right downtown. I am on the 20th floor,have to use my key to get that special floor, oh boy!!! This hotel has sleep number beds and gives you a cd to sleep to and an eye mask and lavender spray for you pillow!!!

Well I am off to bed now!!
Goodnight all!

The situation was innocent but a joke (a bad one) was made and carried too far and its upsetting. :sad2: Not that there is any truth in it, just that its not something to joke about. I understand that some DISers have come forward and apologized for the situation and I appreciate that.

I heard there was some discussion about us not coming on the cruise; I don't see any truth in that. We wouldn't miss it.

Anyway, I'll be around; just maybe not posting as much.

ooh, what a frustrating travel day. Glad you have such a fun hotel to relax in now! You'll have to report back on the sleep number bed, is it heavenly?? You must be at the Radisson?

Hi,
We are all set for the cruise on December 9th. It looks like I am a little late in joining this board, but I just wanted to say hi and looking so forward to the cruise! Joining me is my DH, DD (11), DS (10), DS (6), DS (4), and MIL. We can't wait!

[MrsMork]

We have had planes back out on us in Chicago. I HATE when that happens.
Chicago is the only place that it has happened to us too.

Oh, by the way, this is DrHug. I am posting the baby picture for Angie. This is one of the cruise prevention babies. Carter Dale Stafford; b. 10/10/06.
Because of him his Mommy couldn't go on the cruise. His cohort cousin will be along soon. Because of her Her Mommy can't go cruisin' either. We're hoping she makes it here safe and sound too. MrsMork will tell you all about it. G'nite for now.

Vanessa and all - can you help me with the basket issue too - I'm not that into getting al ot of food items and candy since we will be eating all week. What else would be fun and practical for the ship?

Lisa had said before that Shirley will do just about anything but I don't even know what to ask for. Are there sand toys available at CC or should we get them in the baskets?

thanks.

elaine

elaine - not sure if you've ordered already, but stay away from the food part...unless there is a specific movie candy that might make your kids happy. Whenever we've done food in our baskets (snacks and beer basket for DH or the candy and toys for kids)...we have an abundance of food. We actually bring some home (stuff never opened). I'd recommend anything along the lines of what your kids like...coloring books...Mickey pencils...we got our kids stuffed Mickeys one year...they are too old now. But think of what you like and call Shirley's shop. They will be able to name multiple items to give you ideas.

JMHO.

[BuzzBoyMom]

Glad to know that everyone has kept on being their fiesty selves! I have so much more catching up to do! :banana: I see that the banana craze is still alive & well! :surfweb: Sorry, gotta go read more posts!

and what is Charles Barkley doing on MNF?


Even I - the football novice wondered that?!!! But I didn't dare ask DH for getting one of thes :sad2:

I love shopping in Chicago as well. Everything is so close together and it makes it so easy I just wish the stores were bigger - LOL.

but I think Amy is in St. Paul or Minneapolis right?

[BuzzBoyMom]

Thanks! I am thinking that we should have enough education opps to mix in with the regular work. I included the tour with interactive ruins time, visiting the village school to donate and observe, stingrays at CC, catameran at CC with history of island, possible research for Cozumel since we have nothing planned there, plotting our group's location on a map to note the States figuring distance traveled to reach the port & find out who is going the greatest & shortest distance, interactions with CMs to find out about where they are from, and ask the Captain a few questions. Of course, I could also include something about budgeting for the trip or gas milage on our way to the port. He is learning how to use a calculator (they have to use one for the EOG tests in 3rd grade) so he could figure that kind of stuff out. He can do the math work before the cruise either before we leave or on the trip down to get it over with. I want him to keep a journal this trip too. He really liked having one last year.



Um...who's gonna tell Lisa that this is supposed to be a vacation and her Type A personality needs some R&R! Heck - if she wanted her DS to have an independent project...she should have taught him how to organize a bunch of Disers!! That would surely get an A!!!

The DISDog and I have done this for years. It is only in recent times that he has wanted to stay out for a long time. We went back to bed for a bit although I couldn't go right back to sleep.

Oh well. It is off to work. I have a meeting at 8:30 so I'll check in later.

Tana i will try to call you tomorrow. We got in later than we expected as we missed our connecting flight in Chicago due to leaving late from Akron canton due to the plane being late coming in. We arrived at Chicago and ran to the gate which was clear across the airport and got there just as the plane was backing away from the gate! I thought I was going to scream.... of course I couldn't because I couldn't breathe therefore I couldn't scream!!


Any way we are here and the hotel is right downtown. I am on the 20th floor,have to use my key to get that special floor, oh boy!!! This hotel has sleep number beds and gives you a cd to sleep to and an eye mask and lavender spray for you pillow!!!

Well I am off to bed now!!
Goodnight all!
I hope John is taking notes....you will have some serious demands now!!!! What hotel are you staying at? That seems so darn cool!

[klineyqueen]

Hi,
We are all set for the cruise on December 9th. It looks like I am a little late in joining this board, but I just wanted to say hi and looking so forward to the cruise! Joining me is my DH, DD (11), DS (10), DS (6), DS (4), and MIL. We can't wait!
:welcome: party: :welcome: :rainbow: :jumping1: Welcome to our crazy group!!!!

[klineyqueen]

Um...who's gonna tell Lisa that this is supposed to be a vacation and her Type A personality needs some R&R! Heck - if she wanted her DS to have an independent project...she should have taught him how to organize a bunch of Disers!! That would surely get an A!!!

The DISDog and I have done this for years. It is only in recent times that he has wanted to stay out for a long time. We went back to bed for a bit although I couldn't go right back to sleep.

Oh well. It is off to work. I have a meeting at 8:30 so I'll check in later.
Have a good day Brack!

[klineyqueen]

Good morning Elaine.

It's going to get more hectic soon. We have to reach 50,000 before the end of the month. I believe it's a law somewhere .... http://bestsmileys.com/computer1/9.gif

Heck, I think Becka may be right in reaching 40,000 by Friday! I thought she was, um, er, crazy or thinking 3000 in less than a week! :crazy:

Am I the only one who has never watched SATC?

I've watched it here and there on regular TV, but I never really liked JSP. :guilty:

So help I am sooooooooooooo sick every night hungry yet sick at the same time...I think I am going to bed because this is such a TERRIBLE feeling! My first OB appointment is tomorrow!!!

I just added Dody's milestone to the site & was surprised by what I saw.

The thread started on 11/25/04.
10000 8/2/06
20000 9/4/06
30000 10/1/06

Here it is 10/16 and we just posted 38000!!!

8100 posts in 15 days = 540 posts per day.
15 more days to October x 540 = another 8100 posts so to 46200 by 10/31/06.
30 days in November x 540 = 16200 > 62400 by 11/30/06.
Even stopping on 12/6 for travel for most of us that is another 3240 posts.

Potential of reaching 65640 by cruise time!!!! :cool1:

This is interesting....

15% Yankee

10% Upper Midwestern

0% Midwestern

The Yankee is from my parents, the Dixie is growing up & living in VA, NC, & LA. I have no idea where the upper midwest comes from. Michigan isn't considered that area, is it?


I want to know what the last 5% is for everyone. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I just found out that 20 members of my family are sailing with me! There will be no civilized conversation for me!

I've got to go get Dina ready for preschool and Amanda ready to catch the bus. :moped: Looks like I won't be getting anything done today...DIS or life? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Woke up this morning thing everything was fine. Then we saw DD. We think she has, dare I say it, pinkeye :scared: :eek: So I am staying home with her today and getting her to the doctor so she can get better.

[Mice Pins]

Becka didn't feel good yesterday and went to bed early yesterday. She is feeling better today so she should be posting from work sometime today.

[lillygator]

Even I - the football novice wondered that?!!! But I didn't dare ask DH for getting one of thes :sad2:

I don't think he's been in the limelight in a while, maybe he needed some exposure. But there he sat with his shirt all untucked looking a bit messy while the others guys looked sharp.

Aaron - sorry to hear about Allie...hopefully once she gets some meds she'll be doing better. It's nice you can stay home. I'm either using my PTO or they go to Kids Under the Weather here at the hospital. DH has issues taking off work. Hope she and Becka both feel better soon.

Have a great day everyone....oh, has anyone seen the banana lollipops on OT? I can't believe they even make this stuff. Who's bringing the banana apparel? We need some form of banana hat or skirt or something and then one lucky person can be the honorary banana of the day.

John1 - when are you guys arriving - the 7th? Are you just planning on hanging out until the party that night? We could start some real DIS controversy and you could pool hop on over (just kidding). And everyone who is in Orlando before the cruise - did you all rent cars? Will there be a DIS -DCL or bust caravan on the way to the port?

the poor girl!!! That is so itchy and yucky. I hope she feels better soon. Practice lots and lots of good handwashing!!!! Good luck at the doctor.

She will be posting from work...but you MR. Aaron...will be posting from HOME!!! Enjoy your day off! I know it stinks that DD isn't feeling well, but try to make the best of it.


I must get moving...time to go to preschool. It just started to rain. My DS will be thrilled, he loves to wear his raincoat!

[lillygator]

lots of anxiety over the weekend but the teachers received an 11th hour contract last night after 3 years without one - and we were all in school today.

That's wonderful news Elaine!! :woohoo: I'm glad it didn't have to get messy and effect the kids.
