[goofyforlife]

Moi?

Yes, Andy is the new member of the 000 club. Exclusive club that it is.

John1

Actually he is a repeat offender...with pirate: at 55K and 57K

[Jhalkias]

Did anyone get upgraded yet? I just checked and no go for us. I hope we do but I really don't care where I am on the ship. I just want to be on the ship, out of cincinnati, out of ohio, out of work, out of school, out of reach.

Missy,

I may be the only other one who can answer YES to ALL of the above! (well, except Cincinnati)

John1

[lbgraves]

really cool...Could you?....My ressie was for 4 and in chat that one night I told Jill and her DH she could have our other two. So 4 of us would want to join your tribe in the big kids room......

The private dining room is full but there are tables near the door so I was going to request everyone else be seated there. BTW, I have added them to your resie on the site to keep track. :thumbsup2

[GoofyforGoofy]

Moi?

Yes, Andy is the new member of the 000 club. Exclusive club that it is.

John1

Hey, a club? You guys have jackets?

[lbgraves]

CUTE sign, Lisa!!

If you guys cancel, the rest of us might get a brunch!!

We never actually had one. :( If you would like, I can put your name on the list of people to add to the 10:30 time. :confused3

[goofyforlife]

Hey, a club? You guys have jackets?

No Lime Green T's

[GoofyforGoofy]

Growing up I used to always have pizza for breakfast! Nothing wrong with that! :thumbsup2

As long as you didn't grab your breakfast.....ON THE ROAD.....get it, ROAD pizza? Oh well... :confused3

[GoofyforGoofy]

Poptarts have to be frosted. :sad2: Everything is better with frosting!

Wait for it, wait for it.... <is John here?>

[tynkerbell]

I'm in the midst of printing out Christmas Card address labels when I hear the front doorbell...

We received our cruise documents! :thumbsup2 :banana: :cheer2:

:bounce: :bounce: :cheer2: :banana: :bounce: :bounce:

[brack]

The Food Network just showed how to make Whoopie cookies

[lbgraves]

Are you that positive that my DH will NOT come? ;)

NO! NO! NO! :lmao: I mean that those who are going to be in the smaller dining room now have resies in the regular Palo dining room & those will be openings that others can move to. :thumbsup2 OY!!! I just need to make it until 12:30 12/9 so that I can start my vacation!!! :)

[goofyforlife]

The Food Network just showed how to make Whoopie cookies

OK i'll bite. What are whoopie cookies?

[GoofyforGoofy]

The Food Network just showed how to make Whoopie cookies

Ummm Rachael? Was it Rachael?? DW hates that show...I like the way she cooks.

[goofyforlife]

I really need a nap...... :crazy:

[lbgraves]

Missy,

I may be the only other one who can answer YES to ALL of the above! (well, except Cincinnati)

John1

YOU GOT UPGRADED??????

[goofyforlife]

Ummm Rachael? Was it Rachael?? DW hates that show...I like the way she cooks.

You had to say the name twice didn't you...... Maybe she can keep you company on the couch.....

[GoofyforGoofy]

I really need a nap...... :crazy:

So do I....sleeping until 11:00 yesterday and 8:30 today just didn't cut it...

[goofyforlife]

pirate: (oh well)

[GoofyforGoofy]

pirate:

Hmm... yep, I'll take that... thank you.

[lbgraves]

Well......?????

[RealMickey]

I am DVC at SSR, but was able to achieve my dream and will be staying at VWL for my pre-cruise stay.

Pj
Congrats:banana:

[goofyforlife]

Well......?????

either he was just agreeing about the leaving part or he's leaving us hanging....


(without a wire)

[lbgraves]

either he was just agreeing about the leaving part or he's leaving us hanging....


(without a wire)

Doesn't he know better than that?!?!?!? Putting ALL in caps is what made me to a double take with his post. I just checked ours again & it is the same.

[lbgraves]

Oh John!!! Are you enjoying this?

John, the LEADER has spoken....http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l26/fredneck_89/K2/fie.gif

[GoofyforGoofy]

Ok...haven't seen this in a little while...

TAKE WHAT YOU CAN. <everyone now.>

[tynkerbell]

Tried calling our TA's office to ask about our docs but they're closed today. :sad:

[brack]

OK i'll bite. What are whoopie cookies?

These were discussed several pages ago. They are two cookies with fluff in the middle.

[GoofyforGoofy]

These were discussed several pages ago. They are two cookies with fluff in the middle.

DW, you stopping at the store on the way home? We need some things...two things to be exact....

[brack]

Ummm Rachael? Was it Rachael?? DW hates that show...I like the way she cooks.


It was Paula Dean's sons I think.

[brack]

YOU GOT UPGRADED??????


Yes John! don't start something and not finish

[brack]

Ok...haven't seen this in a little while...

TAKE WHAT YOU CAN. <everyone now.>

Give Nothing Back

[tynkerbell]

Our cruise docs have just arrived!!!! :cool1: :woohoo: :yay: :hyper:

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[lbgraves]

GIVE NOTHING BACK!!! Except an answer about the upgrade, John!

[brack]

I've got to go for awhile. My DS and I are driving back to Petersburg to take his DW back to her parents. Then we turnaround and come back. If I get to chat it will be at 70mph again. Later. :thumbsup2

[Jhalkias]

Thats right , We have rights to .... :lmao: :rotfl2:


pirate:

Yup, as long as it is not the same air I have to breathe you can have all the rights you want!

John1

[Disneyjamie]

As long as there's life vests there for us....may be violating some section of US Maritime Law...http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l26/fredneck_89/K2/sarcastic_hand.gif


I don't comment often, but im ROTFLMAO!! :rotfl2:

[Jhalkias]

We are both getting close to that big one


pirate:

Both of you boys getting close to the big one huh????

:rolleyes1

John1

[pjpoohbear]

Congrats:banana:

Thanks Mickey!

Actually I then added a night on the 4th at SSR and today added a night in BUF for the Sleep Inn ($100 = night sleep 5 minutes from airport, free breakfast with waffles, 14 nights of parking in secured lot, shuttle and shopping pre-trip for only $10 more then airport parking for 14 days)

Pj

[tynkerbell]

As long as you didn't grab your breakfast.....ON THE ROAD.....get it, ROAD pizza? Oh well... :confused3


Ewww! :guilty:

[GoofyforGoofy]

Those are the BEST comments.... :thumbsup2

[Jhalkias]

Bear? http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l26/fredneck_89/K2/pooh.gif

Maybe a bit of DIS Geek history you may have missed Andy . . . someone was talking about a bear, someone about a crockpot, and somehow the two got melded - kind of like the old Reese Cup Commercial.

John1

[Jhalkias]

That's right! You guys were talking about cooking a bear in your crockpots a while back. Hmmmm....wonder where you got that idea? :rolleyes1

Yeah, I wonder . . .

How come everyone remembers the bananaman, but nothing else?


John1

[GoofyforGoofy]

John1

Ok...thought maybe DW made mention of this somewhere along the way...haven't had Bear Pot Pie yet...Still wouldn't have a crust.

[Jhalkias]

Here is the doorsign I have been working on for the kids. This will be their 3rd cruise with John's DD.

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n199/ptomom/20061.jpg

That is Sooooooo Cool Lisa!

Too bad Sophia is not home, I would show it to her tonight!

John1

[Jhalkias]

Poptarts have to be frosted. :sad2: Everything is better with frosting!
:thumbsup2

I agree!

(NO lewd comments peanut gallery, I see them coming!)
John1

My bad!

John1

[Jhalkias]

Wait for it, wait for it.... <is John here?>

Sure, blame ME!

I just knew as I scrolled down that it was probably too late already!

John1

[Jhalkias]

YOU GOT UPGRADED??????

NO, NO , NO . . . I wasn't paying close attention. I just saw the work and cold part.

Sorry, didn't mean to give you all a heart attack!

Well, Caroline's kids did not show up, so I guess I can leave the office now.

See you all in Chat.

I have a tree to set up tonight!

John1

[GoofyforGoofy]

Sure, blame ME!

I just knew as I scrolled down that it was probably too late already!

John1

No blame, no blame...but the fact that you saw lewd comments developing... :confused3

[princessy]

John1

OK, if you are going to get the facts straight....someone posted a crockpot recipe for a beer roast. When someone else mentioned it later on :rolleyes1 there was a typo and beer became bear. :rotfl:

[MrsMork]

Angie, How Wonderful! What a great day! Where in Idaho are they from?
Orafino. He was Chief of Police, now retired. Still the handsomest man I know (except for DrHug of course!) and he is the standard that I always used to judged men by. :love:

[pjpoohbear]

Who was that someone?

LOL

PJ

[pyramid2000]

I did it... :faint:

[pyramid2000]

I joined Brack, John, and I think Dody or Marielle?? :yo-yo:

[pyramid2000]

John!! Don't leave!!! The kids should be there in about 2 weeks if they walk fast!

[lbgraves]

That is Sooooooo Cool Lisa!

Too bad Sophia is not home, I would show it to her tonight!

John1

I am thinking of changing it to read DISney Friendships are MAGICal. Also while working on DD's princess one I found an edger that makes it look feathered. Very pretty.

[GoofyforGoofy]

Elf is on USA now...

[MrsMork]

I am now a vetern because I retired when I married my husband. My husband was also in the air force for 9 years and is an honorably discharged vetern!!! :cool1:
Thank you both for serving!!

[pyramid2000]

Elf is on USA now...

Dina thanks you!! :love:

[MrsMork]

I'll catch up later then.

Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? We had lunch at a Colonial Inn in Petersburg, VA. It was first opened in 1760. I really liked it. Now we are in NC eating good country style food. There goes my WW!
We only had 24 here this year. Small crowd for us. Some of them have gone wine tasting this afternoon but will be back here to play some games and eat leftovers tonight.

Minor mishap....I set my oven on fire! It was shooting flames like a woodstove! I could do nothing but yell for Dennis. What would I do if he were not here?? :confused3 Anyway, he got the turkey pan out, closed the door and waited for the flames to subside (lack of Oxygen he said) then we put baking soda on the turkey drippings that was the culprit so I could go ahead and finish off dinner. Luckily the turkey was in fact done when I started the fire so I had only to brown the marshmallows on the yams.

[pyramid2000]

Don't the Cat 3s have a dvd player? Kim could get the Imagination International Pirates of the Caribbean DVD Game and CJS could play... :teeth:

OMG Angie! I was waiting to hear at least one of us had some sort of mishap, but I was not expecting this!! Thank goddness everything was ok. Time for a new stove?? :goodvibes

[lbgraves]

Here is the one I am working on for DD. I can't come up with the right thing to put on it though. We both had fun picking out the edgings.

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n199/ptomom/Picture2.jpg

[pyramid2000]

Beautiful Lisa!! :goodvibes

[pyramid2000]

Does Target have any codes right now??

[MrsMork]

My daughter will be celebrating her 14th birthday on our second trip to CC!!!! princess:
DrHug got to do this on the very first double dip cruise which was way back in 2001 on the first DVC members only cruise. :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

Yeah, we didn't get the support we were looking for.
:sad2: groan! :sad2:

[lbgraves]

Does Target have any codes right now??

Yes! I used one last night to order my blanket. :) It is on www.naughtycodes.com. :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

Every kid needs to visit a farm at chicken time. :teeth:

My uncle had chickens and I remember going there one time and the whole family helped in their demise. Dad and uncle did the chopping, I think my mom and a brother dropped them in the hot water, and the rest of us did the plucking. I must have been 4 or 5.

I also remember the headless chickens knocking over the trashcan they were put in and running around... :rotfl:
I had to pluck chickens once when I was 10. I could not eat chicken for several years. Everytime it was cooked I could smell those awful wet feathers again. EEEEWWWW!!

[MrsMork]

You will find that for the most part, us East Coasters are the night owls . . . The Western folks seem to need their rest more.

John1
We are old, John1. We are entitled! :)

[MrsMork]

Hey, maybe she knows Christie . . .

Do all people from Denver Colorado aimlessly walk off piers into the harbor, or was that an anomaly?

Just checking . . .

John1
I think Cristi is actually from Littleton, CO. Might make a difference in pier diving.

[MrsMork]

I give up! I will never catch up. I am just going to read the last few pages and jump back in. I got to page 3800 and decided I better just skip a few. :sad2: The crowd will be back from wine tasting soon.

[pyramid2000]

Ok, I need to get off of this computer. I ended up buying the Rebel XTi for myself for an early Christmas present. I think I will feel very guilty until I actually get it. :rolleyes1

[lbgraves]

YEAH!!!!! Hope that you get it soon, Caroline! :)

[MrsMork]

OMG Angie! I was waiting to hear at least one of us had some sort of mishap, but I was not expecting this!! Thank goddness everything was ok. Time for a new stove?? :goodvibes
No, thankfully the stove is fine. The flames were just the juices that I spilled on the element. Scared me though!
Then later my mom put a thermos of coffee in her bag as she was heading out to the hotel (she's funny she does not go ANYWHERE, even to the store for a short trip, without her thermos of coffee) and the little push in thing on the top got pushed in and the whole thing ran out in her bag and all over my floor. :rotfl: :rotfl2: Poor thing. She had to wipe everything off that was in her bag, plus she was embarrassed and of course her daughter was :rotfl: :rotfl: which didn't help.

[waltsgirl]

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l26/fredneck_89/K2/stop.gif I have no clue NO CLUE what you are talking about. Who is Shirley? What number? I was asking a question about a person named Shirley and I have no idea how you get involved in this?

Why does everyone keep talking about my mom Shirley???

[lbgraves]

DD kept telling me that the turkey was burning. :lmao: It would set off the smoke alarm in the kitchen because the juice was popping out & falling on the element. OY! I fanned the smoke & it stopped in less than a minute...each time.

[pyramid2000]

I have not done one thing all day and here I am, back for more. :sad2:

[pyramid2000]

Tell me if you think this is cruel...

Sarah, Amanda, and their cousin put a walkie-talkie on a stuffed monkey. Now Dina thinks the monkey really can talk. She really is cute with it though and very excited. But what about when it is not fun for the big kids anymore? What do I tell her?? :confused3

[pyramid2000]

I must have gullable kids. When Sarah was little, my sister convinced her that she could change the channels on the TV with her toes. If it "stopped" working, I would have to "replace the batteries"... She believed this for a good few months til she just forgot about it.

When it starts doing this I would worry. ;)

I love the sign Lisa. Would you consider making us one just so we can have it for Sophia, she would love it!

[lbgraves]

STOP EXPERIMENTING ON THE CHILDREN!

Pj

Um....PJ....are you OK? What did I miss???? :confused3 ;)

[tynkerbell]

Anyone else remember the days when you could order pizza and it was guaranteed to be delivered in 30 minutes or less or the pizza was free?? Well I just ordered pizza-- 2 hour estimated delivery time. :faint:

[lbgraves]

I love the sign Lisa. Would you consider making us one just so we can have it for Sophia, she would love it!

Sure! I don't know if I will be getting more magnet paper or finding one of those magnetic photo holders. I couldn't believe how much WM wanted for a package of that stuff. No more at Big Lots. :( I have another week to shop for it.

[tynkerbell]

I joined Brack, John, and I think Dody or Marielle?? :yo-yo:

Wait, what'd I miss? What'd you do? :confused3

[lbgraves]

This hints at using children as science experiments, :sad2: . Bad mommy!

Pj

I will share my own subject days, in my brothers at home lab, on the cruise.

[lbgraves]

That is SO cool Lisa! :thumbsup2 I love how you match up DD's dresses with the princess. :goodvibes

That is what the beach bag is for. ;) DD is good at the quick changes in the bathroom.

Shirley you must be joking.... :rolleyes1

Pj

Trust me PJ! It's OK. LOL! Afterall, isn't belief 99% of their enjoyment of so many things right now? For example, Santa isn't at the mall very often during the day. The kids wanted to take their letters to him but they are sick. They put them under the Christmas tree with pictures they drew and when they got up the letters were gone. :cheer2: Did you know that the elves go around collecting these for Santa?

[GoofyforGoofy]

I have not done one thing all day and here I am, back for more. :sad2:

For the Animal House fans...
Thank you sir may I have another! POST Thank you sir may I have another! POST Thank you sir may I have another! POST Thank you sir may I have another! POST....

Hmmm... you think your DH would fall for that one? Put the walkie talkie on the monkey and go in the other room....have the MONKEY tell him about the DIS Geeks....yeah, it's so crazy, it just MAY work! :crazy:

Ahh...for the next experiment, introduce FLUFF to the child...and see how the monkey reacts... :rolleyes1

[lillygator]

Hey all! Hope everyone had a great Turkey day!!

We were LAZY today. Had a great day and dinner yesterday....and then we slept in, braved the mall around 11 and came back and napped....damn Arkansas lost...so we are pretty much written out of nat'l contention now. :(

I have been PACKING!! almost finished!! :) No docs yet.

Lisa - GREAT signs!! I love them!

[pyramid2000]

Anyone else remember the days when you could order pizza and it was guaranteed to be delivered in 30 minutes or less or the pizza was free?? Well I just ordered pizza-- 2 hour estimated delivery time. :faint:

I could tell you some stories...but more on the other way around. Tell them 45 minutes, get calle :sad2: d back 20 minutes later asking "Where's my order?! I called over an hour ago!!"

[pyramid2000]

Actually Dody, most of the time if they tell you something as outrageous as 2 hours, they would just rather you pick it up. That would be awfully busy to take that long, or they don't have enough help.

[GoofyforGoofy]

I could tell you some stories...but more on the other way around. Tell them 45 minutes, get calle :sad2: d back 20 minutes later asking "Where's my order?! I called over an hour ago!!"

Oh you did NOT...You did not....Bad Bad Bad Caroline...Bad!

Ummm, can I use that? :confused3

[lbgraves]

Hmmm... you think your DH would fall for that one? Put the walkie talkie on the monkey and go in the other room....have the MONKEY tell him about the DIS Geeks....yeah, it's so crazy, it just MAY work! :crazy:

I want to see the video of that on youtube.com!!!!!

[lillygator]

oh and no upgrades for us, just checked!

[GoofyforGoofy]

I want to see the video of that on youtube.com!!!!!

I wanna see whats left of the monkey... :rolleyes1

[Bella2000]

Here is the doorsign I have been working on for the kids. This will be their 3rd cruise with John's DD.

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n199/ptomom/20061.jpgthat is fantastic Lisa!

[Bella2000]

I must say today was probably the most challenging day with DD. I think we are all just tired but talk about pushing all the buttons today. She was just on a tear. I know its testing limits, water whatever but today was so not the day to behave this way. She told DH that I was a "witch" - at least she used that word and not the other. I wonder what she will say when she is a teenager :rolleyes1

[pyramid2000]

has anyone seen the Ariel bike anywhere? I cannot find it...loooked on TRU, Target and WM.....

[GoofyforGoofy]

pirate:

[lillygator]

ooopsss. I found it.

[pyramid2000]

Oh you did NOT...You did not....Bad Bad Bad Caroline...Bad!

Ummm, can I use that? :confused3

I didn't do it Andy! That's what people do to us all the time! :teeth: I think the worst is answering the phone and they do one of two things: ask what you have on the menu or turn to the person(s) with them and ask them what they want. :furious:

[Bella2000]

Our Open House invitations are almost complete. I of course ran out of ink at the end. At least I won't worry about these while I am on vacation. Now this week I need to take the cat for her shot so she can be boarded and get the mail hold postcard from the post office.

We are hopefully going to decorate the tree tomorrow. It's been up just not decorated. Perhaps tomorrow DD will be back to herself. :rolleyes:

On a cool note, DH made me a Thanksgiving sandwich - love those the day after! YUM!

[lbgraves]

I must say today was probably the most challenging day with DD. I think we are all just tired but talk about pushing all the buttons today. She was just on a tear.

Welcome to the club! :thumbsup2

[lbgraves]

ooopsss. I found it.

Where did you find it Vanessa?

[Bella2000]

or turn to the person(s) with them and ask them what they want. :furious:Guilty on this one - DH has done that when we've ordered chinese food.

Where did you find it Vanessa?
On Toys R Us.....

[MMcCarthy]

Shw would probably like it, but would be a little embaressed. She is going on the Wild Side excursion on CC.
My DD (15) & Devon are both scheduled for the wild side. devon & christa have emailed a couple of times and tried to get to know each other. tell your DD that Christa would love to hear from her prior to the cruise.

[lbgraves]

Don't you love being behind someone in line at McD's and they get up to the register before deciding what they want to order. BIG decisions....chicken or burgers or salad. OY!

Yvonne, Devon would like to get in touch with your DD too...if you want, I'll send you a PM with her email.

On Toys R Us.....

You didn't order it yet, did you????? There is a great deal where you can get 20 off 50!!!

[lillygator]

Ok, I need to get off of this computer. I ended up buying the Rebel XTi for myself for an early Christmas present. I think I will feel very guilty until I actually get it. :rolleyes1
you'll love it. my dh got one about a month ago. I finally took it & used it at ds soccer game. the pictures are beautiful. I can't wait to see CC and the magic through the lens.

[pyramid2000]

20 off of 50? I saw a 10 off 30?? :confused3

[lbgraves]

where - no I didn't order...I thought $80 was a bit much!


TRU_w4F6GK $10 off $50

Use google check out & get another 10 off 30 purchase. Some stores are giving you 20 off 50. You just register with google and pay thru them to get the discount. :thumbsup2

[tynkerbell]

I didn't do it Andy! That's what people do to us all the time! :teeth: I think the worst is answering the phone and they do one of two things: ask what you have on the menu or turn to the person(s) with them and ask them what they want. :furious:

:sad2: People should never call to order without knowing what they're ordering! I always have everything written down before calling and I just read it off.

[lbgraves]

Does it HAVE to be Ariel? Here is a princess bike for $40.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=1953330

It looks like everyone is charging $70 for that one.

[lillygator]

thanks Lisa! No it doesn't have to be Ariel!! $40 is better!!

I really want to chat tonight, can someone give me a list of what the heck I'm supposed to have done by now for this trip. My hairs on fire.

I'm actually ok with home stuff and I've done nada re the cruise. I have a question on the tags. We didn't use the Disney transport this time or last time so I know NOT to out it on our luggage coming in but I'm supposed to put it on when we check in aren't we? the tags look different I thought there were 2 sets 2 years ago. Help!

[Bella2000]

I am done with Christmas shopping - can I tattoo that somewhere on my person. I was done months ago but I keep seeing things that would be soooooo neat for people. I've resisted so far but its driving me batty. :crazy:

[Bella2000]

I wish DH would catch up on BG so I can talk to him about it and so I can watch the current episode when it comes on.

[Bella2000]

Hmmm, it's Friday right? I wonder whether the card store is open late? I've run out of Christmas Cards. This happens every year but I did well this yar I am only short a box.

Yes, they changed to putting everyone's docs in one booklet last year and they give the lime green sticking tags instead of the yellow ones that just wrapped around the loop.

[Bella2000]

I haven't had an Egg Nog Chai in SO long. I planned on one Wednesday and it never happened. (is there a pout smilie).

I should attempt to catch up on all of these posts here.

DD kept telling me that the turkey was burning. :lmao: It would set off the smoke alarm in the kitchen because the juice was popping out & falling on the element. OY! I fanned the smoke & it stopped in less than a minute...each time.
I spilled a couple of cups of juice on them. It went up in flames.

Tell me if you think this is cruel...

Sarah, Amanda, and their cousin put a walkie-talkie on a stuffed monkey. Now Dina thinks the monkey really can talk. She really is cute with it though and very excited. But what about when it is not fun for the big kids anymore? What do I tell her?? :confused3

THAT is funny. I am sorry, but it IS funny.

Kids can be so creative.

[Jhalkias]

Our Open House invitations are almost complete. I of course ran out of ink at the end. At least I won't worry about these while I am on vacation. Now this week I need to take the cat for her shot so she can be boarded and get the mail hold postcard from the post office.

We are hopefully going to decorate the tree tomorrow. It's been up just not decorated. Perhaps tomorrow DD will be back to herself. :rolleyes:

On a cool note, DH made me a Thanksgiving sandwich - love those the day after! YUM!

And of course, Amy made us TG sandwiches and baked them in the oven . . . is there some kind of synchronization going on here?

Guilty on this one - DH has done that when we've ordered chinese food. We decided before we call and just when the phone connects he says - hold on a sec. It drives me bonkers to say - excuse me could you hold on a sec. :crazy:

Oh noooooo . . . another one. Amy can NEVER make up her mind on a menu. Call in, drive through, does not matter. I know before I call or pull up. Amy says wait a minute . . . . happens at restuarants too. They always ask her to order first, because she is the woman, and she always tells them to take my order first.

Carla,

Are you taking Disney transport to the ship from the airport?

We have not done that since the first cruise. I think you would put your tags on as you get your checked luggage and before you load the bus. From there, no worries.

Well, all caught up, goodnight again Brack.

Missed you in Chat tonight . . . feeling guilty?

John1

Yes, I'm feeling guilty...should arrive by the end of next week. They had free shipping, but it wouldn't be guaranteed before I left(ACK! next Sunday!!) so I had to pay for priority. I got two cards with it. I also got Sarah a cheaper one, an HP, but it is a 6.5. It will be an early Christmas present since she will want it for the cruise.

[pyramid2000]

I missed chat because DH was on the computer and the girls and I watched The Pacifier. I had never seen it. Pretty good. Anything good? :confused3

[pyramid2000]

I am guessing that everyone turned in early tonight from being on so late last night.

Dody is the only one I see...

Hi Dody! :wave2:

[pyramid2000]

I'm starting to think of some things for the girls for Christmas. Dina is easy sonce she wants everything. I had forgotten about some things I had thought of before for the other two. I think I will go to the store to buy them though. Things would be coming in the mail when I'm not here, or when no one is here. Dina would really like that Princess bike! :thumbsup2

[pyramid2000]

I really have to go through stuff tomorrow or Sunday. Get the luggage together, buy the simple necessities, get outfits together. DH needs to go to the store too. He buys more clothes than the girls and I put together every year! If he would just stop wearing his better clothes and shoes to work. :rolleyes:

[pyramid2000]

Does anyone know if they sell a Briar Rabbit pin? My friend is looking for one for her daughter so I will look if I get to DTD. She said DD only has one that comes in a set. I guess I will check e-bay for her.

[pyramid2000]

Nothing on e-bay... :sad2:

[pyramid2000]

ACK! Even Dody is gone now. I hate being all alone... creepy things might come out of the woodwork! Bears, bats, maybe even dancing monkeys! :scared1:

[pyramid2000]

Brack, you'll have to give me some info about the battery grip. I saw a few different ones, but I am not sure if there is a certain kind? It would be nice to have something I could slip batteries into since I didn't get an extra rechargable.

[pyramid2000]

Oh, and if DH gets miffed about the camera, I will be pointing to the two of you, John and Brack! ;)

[pyramid2000]

Andy, how did you not reach 1000 today??? :confused3 You are so close! Did you challenge CJS to a race? :teeth:

[pyramid2000]

I think everyone should start taking bets on when I will be packed. We plan on leaving early on the 3rd. I'll start!

Sunday, Dec 3rd...5 minutes before we leave!

I'll probably still be looking for more even after I leave. I'll still have a week before cruise time. Give me an inch...

[Jhalkias]

I came back Caroline, you did not miss much. Had some unfinished business. And DO not point at me, Brack told you to get the xti!

John1

[pyramid2000]

So who can I meet on my way down. Unlesss the weather is REALLY nice, I won't be taking the ferry over to DE. In that case, I will go around and will hit Baltimore and everything else between that and Georgia on 95. Brack? Kristina?

I have to see how far I will be from Patsy!

Hi John! :wave2:


It's really hard to post by yourself! But I am restless. :surfweb:

I've only been to Ohio once. My best friend went to Dayton University. I think it took us 12 hours to get there. The PA turnpike is one LONG road!

Yes indeed it is.

I traveled it once to Atlantic City when I was in College with two buddies. One Long road. But the alternatives are much worse, believe me, we found out.

I think the BoardTracker broke. It's been the same for I don't know how long now. :sad2: It was fun to see what it would come up with.

But I can say I told you to save $200 and you would not see much difference, then Brack can run for the hills, I mean elevator . . .

Really though, you will love it. It will take beautiful pictures of your girls, and you can make DH forget all about how much it cost.

Did you see that they have a High School Musical game?

[pyramid2000]

Believe me, he has no room to talk. I did mention his little shopping spree at the furniture store this past week, no? He spent more than me on things we don't even need! Don't show that man the word SALE! :rolleyes:

More than once. Been to that nasty Newark airport too. That was long ago too, on a Spring Break College trip to Florida. All my trips in and out of NJ were in college.

There are nice places there? Atlantic City was not so nice except on the Boardwalk.

I keep thinking how we probably won't end up on the Repo cruise so I have to think of an alternative. We can't go next December though because Sarah would miss BOTH parades. I don't think her teacher likes her or me THAT much! :teeth:

This December one is killing me. Not a really good time for me to be off, and I am paying for it now, and will probably pay when I return. I have not had a vacation since July though . . .

Sophia will miss her concert, but, she is not worried.

John1

[pyramid2000]

Cape My is quaint, but expensive. Lots if Victorian stuff. Only 5 minutes from the Wildwood boardwalk. AC has nothing compared to that! I bet there are as many rides there as in WDW. Maybe even more. Of course here are also the beaches, nature type things...

[pyramid2000]

The game is a DVD one I believe, so no wearing anything extra. :thumbsup2

[Jhalkias]

I really should turn in . . .

I have to meet some old man who called me up as the President of the school Board tomorrow morning at 8:00. He probably just wants to complain to me about his taxes. I think I want to avoid it so I am staying up too late LOL.

John1

[pyramid2000]

Of course, after this cruise, DH may not ever let me go anywhere again. :rolleyes:

[Jhalkias]

Amy asked me why I agreed to meet with him because we have so much to do. I am just a sucker. I always think I can convince everyone that kids deserve a good education, what a sap I am.

I hope you can get the levy passed. I'm not sure how that works. Here they have a budget each year that has to get passed. Most of the time it does even though we have a high senior population. If it doesn't, it goes to the county board and they trim a bit here and there, but it doesn't have to go back up for vote.

[pyramid2000]

Someday people will realize that someone paid for their education too.

[Jhalkias]

East Coasters up late again.

Well Caroline, I hate to leave you by your lonesome, but I need some rest . . .

Tell us when you get the camera, unless we are already gone . . .

I probably should have clued him into what will be going on... he would have been much more receptive than if I wait til we get to the terminal. :lmao:

Cicuit City had it the cheapest, although I did see it at some of those 'bogus' sites for aroun $500. :rotfl:

Ohio is ridiculous.

You should be able to vote no on the things that affect you. Seniors vote for fire and police, then they vote no on schools because it does not affect them. They should let the kids vote on fire and ambulance, then we will see who is dreading voting no on schools!

One of us will order and the other just says "I'll have that too." Our DGS laughs at us because 99% of the time we eat exactly the same thing.

Company is gone for the evening, except my mom who is staying here. 2 neices and their families will be back in the morning around 10, DrHug plans to do some portraits of their girls for them then they will head home around 1 so. I will need to take my mom to the Amtrak station in Portland around 1 also. Then we will be done with TG for another year.
My uncle and aunt left this morning, DrHug's nephew only got to come for the day yesterday. He drove all the way from Seattle yesterday morning and then had to drive back last night. It is about a 4 to 4 1/2 hr drive each way. He is young though and I guess we used to do trips like that.

I missed all that how Caroline was being naughty on the other board.

[elaineteresa]

Giona's shoes fit but I hate them. DH bought them. He said if there is a formal night we should bring them - wow. Usually if it doesn't at least serve double duty I'm not allowed to pack it.

[elaineteresa]

We took the kids to a Japanese steak house where they cook at your table - since we live in the boonies we don't have anything like that. I used to go to Benihana all the time in NYC but I had never seen the egg spinning trick.
then he tossed the egg in the air and cracked it with the spatula.

and no turkey - yummm I was stuffed.

[elaineteresa]

The chef made a volcano out of onion circles - piled them up in descending size order - the he poured oil inside and lit it with a match - it flamed and smoked. Giona loved it - he wants to show all his friends. oooopss.

that kind of thing scares me. luckily we have no matches at home.

Jaea is still shy of fire after the microwave incident - she hid under the table for some of the meal.

[elaineteresa]

We are on the beach at Va. Beach - their holiday lights show got washed out - not sure when it will be back.

yesterday we went to the Va. Air and Space museum. they have Polar Express 3D - I want to see that.

Today we are going to the aquarium.

Ken has a big gift cert. for Office Max. We don't have any of those so we may go shopping.. He bought the HP digital camera for the kids too - Caroline. It came overnight - we were excited.

Good Morning Everyone.

I feel like I'm actually in good shape for our trip and the holidays...

- Christmas cards addressed and mailed - check
- 75% of presents bought - check
- decorations up - check
- both trees up - check
- cruise boxes shipped - check
- clothes laid out for cruise - check
- all but one Christmas present mailed - check

Good shape considering I still have this whole weekend and next weekend.

Happy Saturday.

...where is our Christmas smiley????

If you want to see holiday lights you can go to the botanical gardens in Norfolk or drive to Newport News and see them at Newport News park. That last Nor easter we had was bad so no lights at the beach. At least the weather is good now.

hey we are driving a Ford Mustang - they are kind of fun. only 2 doors though which is a pain with the kids.

PJ - is Halloween the whole month of Oct. on the ship? or just Halloween week - we wouldn't want to miss Halloween at home but it sounds fun. I like Dec, warm weather though.


They only do events on the actually day of Halloween. And it looks like the DIS group for next year will do their own T&T trail.

Going to a parade today in Westminster MD...DW found out that they will have Berners in the parade and got the information for us to be in the parade too...Abby loves the attention and always acts differently when she is around other Berners; she just knows that these other dogs are just as goofy as her! Maybe we can get pictures...I need to figure out all the bells and whistles and buttons on our camera to get good pictures - BEFORE the trip.

Elaine,
If you want to see holiday lights you can go to the botanical gardens in Norfolk or drive to Newport News and see them at Newport News park. That last Nor easter we had was bad so no lights at the beach. At least the weather is good now.

Chris :sunny:

You didn't by chance take the AutoTrain home from the last cruise did you? :teeth:

[DisneyVegas1]

Well, I thought I would hit it but wasn't awake enough to keep posting. I'll hit it, don't worry. :p

I don't think I'm racing CJS. Not sure where he is now on post count.


I am close but your closer ...no race ....I am pretty sure we will make it ...lol

Yes, I'm feeling guilty...should arrive by the end of next week. They had free shipping, but it wouldn't be guaranteed before I left(ACK! next Sunday!!) so I had to pay for priority. I got two cards with it. I also got Sarah a cheaper one, an HP, but it is a 6.5. It will be an early Christmas present since she will want it for the cruise.


:woohoo: I'm sure you'll love it. It doesn't give you much time to play with it but just click away at Disney. Even with two cards I'll bet you will max them out. I'll have a laptop onboard with some CD's if you need to wipe the cards sometime.

[DisneyVegas1]

Wow and to think 2 weeks from this very moment we will actually be meeting each other , I know some of you already have but I am so looking forward to finally putting a voice to everyones face :cool1:
