12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 12

[brack]

Just saw that! What a goofball!! :rotfl:

For awhile this morning I thought that I was going to be a goofball and post 50 times by myself.

[MrsMork]

If you do and like xmas music, I highly recommend this CD. It came out in 1996. My favorite song on there is "Mary, Did You Know". Its a duet with Wynonna.

Here's a link to a site that plays the song in the background.
Mary Did You Know (http://hometown.aol.com/sweet3fawn/Page16.html)
I will have to look for it and have DrHug put it on my new IPod. :teeth:

[BuzzBoyMom]

I have to go to the bathroom - I know - TMI!!!.....but I wanted you all to know how dedicated I was to helping with the next milestone!

[pyramid2000]

pirate: Thanks Dennis for the pirate:

It seems as if Dennis posted the picture of Angie and forgot all about the pirate: !

:lmao:

[MrsMork]

My Ds will be trading for the first time on this trip. I will allow him to trade with cast members. On my trip 2 August's ago I had a baby minnie pin that said "new mom." I bought if from Disney Direct (I think) any way, I was so proud of that pin because I was pregnant with Eliza. Anyway, a tourist came up to me and started to insist that I had to trade that away to him. I told him that one wasn't up for trade. He told me I didn't have a choice!!!! He was getting very pushy and ignorant. When my Dh realized what was going on... :furious: :furious: it was something along the lines of get away from my wife...how dare you try to threaten my pregnant wife...and on like that. The guy finally walked away...but what a nut!!! I wasn't "scared" of the guy...but I was glad my DH was there! :love: Anyway, now I am very leary about trading with other guest. I prefer to stick to cast members!
We only trade with CMs too. Too many dopey people out there.

[BuzzBoyMom]

I love that song!

[BuzzBoyMom]

Unless my boss believes in bats....BRB!

[MrsMork]

Morning, Karen. Looks like lots of Pirates around!

[pyramid2000]

We are doing the same thing! We are wearing lime for boarding and the afternoon. We are changing into our matching red hawaiian Mickey stuff for dinner.

While we were shopping yesterday, I saw a Hawaiian shirt for DH. He actually looked at, but then saw the price. $116!!!

[goofyforlife]

sysytem slow....trying for pirate:

First I'd like to thank Becka for not being here for my first pirate :bounce: ...I actually had a chance...

And I thank Frederick County Government for having slow computers... :wave2: DW!

Ok, now I need to work, and calm down...breathe breathe...

All the rest of you for rooting me on...ok, you were trying just as hard as me! :thumbsup2

Time for a coffee and ...... SOME WORK!


Later my friends and fellow pirate:s :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

That would be awesome! Have a wonderful TG!

Pj
I can run by on my way home from work next week. I am on "vacation" this week getting ready for the hordes to come for TG.

[MrsMork]

I need to go to work so I will not be in the running for the next 000 pirate:. Have fun!
HA!! You too are an addict, Brack! Admit it. :rotfl: ;)

[MrsMork]

We're doing the blue hawaiian mickey ensemble first night....
We are doing the light blue ones. DrHug and Aaron (mine, not Becka's) have shirts and I have the dress.

[MrsMork]

Attn DIS'rs Blue Light Special at the Kliney House.
:rotfl: :lmao: I have not been to Kmart in a long, long time. Do they still have blue light specials? :rotfl2:

[lillygator]

I don't want to work today!

[lillygator]

I can't track my OT order. When I log in to the site it has a "track" button. When you click on it it "leads" you to the shipper's site which comes up to a no reply page. The shipper is SMP? Never heard of them. I guess next time I won't go for the free shipping!

[lillygator]

I have one large box packed and ready to ship. I was hoping to get the rest soon and then hit the post office on the way in to work on Friday.
I did read that someone shipped alcohol on the Nov sailing with no issues. I asked about a packing list and I don't think they have responded yet.

[MrsMork]

I'm too busy playing Christmas music to play any Disney stuff but I have been saying to my DW "just think where we'll be in three weeks".
DrHug got some little speakers for my new IPod and I think he has the music set on random or something. We were hearing a WIDE variety of music last night while DISing and one that came on was LaVida Mickey. We had to dance! :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

Might as well share the email jokes also... I hope this doesn't offend anyone...



Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.

As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut-glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom! When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat.

The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and He could no longer resist. "Miss Beatrice", he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this?", pointing to the bowl.

"Oh, yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the Park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter?"
:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[lillygator]

it was 52 this monring...I think the high here is supposed to be 64.....COLD!

[MrsMork]

While we were shopping yesterday, I saw a Hawaiian shirt for DH. He actually looked at, but then saw the price. $116!!!
OH MY!! I would think not! That much could get you a massage! :sunny:

[MrsMork]

We are hoping to get to 52 for a high! If not we may have to put on a sweater! :rotfl: We need to move to Florida!!

[lillygator]

am I supposed to be getting a zip or flash drive? Something that transfers or downloads?

[lbgraves]

Our tree is for our kids. I told Amy that after the first child was growing up, and we did one of those "designer" type trees our first year of marriage. However the ornaments land on the tree, they are beautiful. My only regret is that we do not go out anymore and cut down the tree, and we have a pre-lit white lights one now. I used to love the old big colored lights.

No museum trees when you have kids!

John1

I am proud of myself! This morning I packed up the decoration boxes and took out the things that had been missed. I did hang up a few balls & ornaments on the top part of the tree that was barren but I didn't do it orderly & I didn't change anything that the kids hung. Balls are falling off and breaking since I didn't hang them and pinch the hooks closed around the branches but that isn't going to hurt anything as long as I pick up the pieces before someone steps on them. Thinking about this last night I realized that this is just another bad anal habit that I picked up from my birthmother. :sad2: This year is the start of something new here! :cheer2:

[lbgraves]

Hey y'all, stupid question, but are the autograph books for DCL the same as the autograph books for disneyworld?

Thanks!

Kim

There are no DCL autograph books. Just the same ones that they have in the park. Major missed opportunity for DCL to make more $$$ IMO.

[lillygator]

anyone know where the deck 2 muster station is? I think when we were down there before we were in one of the theatres.

[lbgraves]

Do you know for about 3 minutes I seriouly considered asking IT to write me a program that posts every 40 seconds in the middle of the night so I could get a milestone? I am a CRAZY person!!!!

ACK!!!!!

[goofyforlife]

it was 52 this monring...I think the high here is supposed to be 64.....COLD!

Naaaa 64 is pretty much t-shirt weather up here...

[tynkerbell]

DrHug says yes, it will help with motion sickness, is safe for kids - except those that have asthma - but it will make them very drowsy.

Thanks Angie. :thumbsup2

[pyramid2000]

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[pyramid2000]

My heart just dropped! I saw the mailtruck coming and a larger envelope getting put into the mailbox. Could it be? Docs???I ran outside and sure enough it was from DCL!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Hmmmmmmmm addressed to DH so it couldn't be something from the Med.
Tear it open...and...and...just a welcome aboard thing since we booked another room. :guilty: :sad2:

[pyramid2000]

I am going to try and get into my doctor today. My left ear and sinus have been blocked up for a week. It is making me crazy! I just hope he can do something about it!

wow!! I was excited there with you for a moment!

[pyramid2000]

they are a lot of kids consignment shops around - even we have one about 1/2 hour away. They really don't give you anything compared to the original value.

All the stuff disappeared that we put at the end of our driveway. Weekends seem to be better for unloading things. YIPPEE!!!

We have consignment shops, but they don't pay you until the stuff has sold. I really have never tried them because it seems like too much hassle...th eonly ones to go would be from Dina and I do have people to pass them down to. They don't really take much in toys.

[lbgraves]

You've never gone to the pin cart? The girls had a ball there each night and would plan around it. :thumbsup2

No. I just looked at the navs & can tell you why. It is only during early dinner seating. Besides, the kids trade for their pins on the cruise. They will each have 20. I will buy three from the trip...WDW, DCL, & CC...for my own collection but that is it.

DS is mainly interested in lanyard pins. DD collects princess pins.

[pyramid2000]

No tinsel at our house either. You shouldn't use it on a live tree because it renders the tree un-recyclable.... (ie can't shred it) Probably because it would a) gum up the machine and b) harm wildlife that may eat it.

I never had a real tree. I think my family used to, but not that I can rememeber.

[lillygator]

we don't pin trade although I have an entire stitch set that are fully intended for trading. We buy the ones we like and usually have some sort of meaning to our trips...the F and W fest ones, the Halloween party ones - and let me tell you. We were in line and every person in line before us spent over $200 on the special party pins. (about 9 people).....I was shocked! I know we have spent a ton, DH had to have all the pirate ones...but not that much at a time!

ROFLMAO!! :lmao:

[bubbasmom99]

Joy, I haven't been online all weekend. How is your DH?

He is doing okay but I definitely think golfing is out.... He says now his wrist hurts... maybe because the swelling is going down and the pain is more prevalent?? Anyway, I'm going to call our doc this morning and get him a follow up. I really hope the ligament isn't torn.

I forgot to help pre-tie his shoes this morning before I left the house, lol... funny how you take 2 hands for granted sometimes.

[pyramid2000]

My MIL also took the downgrade to an inside room. They saved $1200!!! She decided to take it to have some extra bingo money!!!! :cool1:

That's awesome! :cool1:

[lbgraves]

Wouldn't John know?? Or is he on the board for a different district? :confused3

I seriously doubt that they would think about giving Sophia a hard time since it would have to go before the board if there was a problem. ;) You are definitely not unconcerned parents who need to be reviewed by SS.

[becka]

And you said I had bad math... :rolleyes:

Not bad math just more clothing coordination issues... ;) I apparently thought Nathan could wear a dress or something.... :sad2:

[lbgraves]

We have always had a mumbo-jumbo type tree growing up...a little bit of this, a little bit of that. I do remember helping decorate at the neighbors and HATING putting on their tinsel. It had to be one strand at a time. We always loved to blow it on the tree. :Pinkbounc

Funny thing though, I never put tinsel on the tree now. I'll have to make sure I get some this year. And now the majority of ornaments are Disney. I did have a tree, pre-family, one year that had all purple decorations on it...

ramble,ramble,ramble...

Hmmmm....there is a package of silver tinsel in the garage boxes. I've never put it up. I'll have to ask DH if he wants to do that with the kids.

what rotations is our late group - I figured it was all the same.

although I would rather have PAL.

elaine

I don't think there's a PAL rotation. I think there's LAP, PLA and APL... I believe late dining is linked for the APL rotation.

[lbgraves]

OK, morning update. :) I have gotten the living room cleared up, am close to being finished with the DIS stockings, have worked on laundry, returned shelves to Target & exchanged a shirt there too, and decorated a bit. DH must have what I did last week. He is starting to feel better and has been working on his laptop all day.

[lbgraves]

So, PJ, I'm not skilled in problems with shipping to Canada. Is it a huge problem? Lots of paperwork or something? Slow or way too expensive?
I have an REI nearby.. but not sure if it could get to you on time since you're heading out of town early.

Marielle, you could ship it to us. We will see PJ on 12/6 and can give it to her then. We are driving so no problem fitting it somewhere.

The nerve of all of these kids growing! Mine keep doing it even though I insist that they stop! They really need to start minding their mother. ;)

It really is sad. At least you get to see some of the same outfits a couple more times. :thumbsup2 The good thing is that these are the holiday dresses that I have bought at 75% at Target. I pick up whatever is there at that point. DD is going to wear one Easter dress this time that I bought 3 years ago. I was shocked that it fits her now!!! It was HUGE when I bought it for her. :(

DrHug got some little speakers for my new IPod and I think he has the music set on random or something. We were hearing a WIDE variety of music last night while DISing and one that came on was LaVida Mickey. We had to dance! :thumbsup2

So you have laid official claim to it?!?! :lmao:

[becka]

I am watching Mr. Holland's Opus and bailing my eyes out. I love teachers whose goal is to enrich the student instead of getting through the day.

Pj

I love that movie! I had a band director who told me that the whole movie he kept thinking about me. I am a red headed clarinet player and he said that character in the movie really reminded him of me.

[pyramid2000]

it was 52 this monring...I think the high here is supposed to be 64.....COLD!

Wow V! I am telling you this, Florida will have snow this winter...my uncle moved there to finally be rid of it so I am sure it will follow him!

[goofyforlife]

We have consignment shops, but they don't pay you until the stuff has sold. I really have never tried them because it seems like too much hassle...th eonly ones to go would be from Dina and I do have people to pass them down to. They don't really take much in toys.

Caroline, Would your girls be interested in a couple LTD TOO sweatshirts?

DD has outgrown them and i know two of them have only been worn once or twice.....

Two are White with pink letters and are kinda medium weight. The other two are heavier. One is teal. One is Purple.

[lbgraves]

8?? Wow! For the five of us I was thinking we would get away with about 4, with maybe 1 carry-on. But I haven't started packing yet.

Um....that is less than I pack for the 4 of us. :teeth:

[becka]

Oh and I love the "my son is only 16, is he too old to wear shorts to dinner?" :sad2:

:sad2:

My DH is only 31 but he acts like a 13 year old...is he too old to wear shorts to dinner? :lmao:

[pyramid2000]

I am proud of myself! This morning I packed up the decoration boxes and took out the things that had been missed. I did hang up a few balls & ornaments on the top part of the tree that was barren but I didn't do it orderly & I didn't change anything that the kids hung. Balls are falling off and breaking since I didn't hang them and pinch the hooks closed around the branches but that isn't going to hurt anything as long as I pick up the pieces before someone steps on them. Thinking about this last night I realized that this is just another bad anal habit that I picked up from my birthmother. :sad2: This year is the start of something new here! :cheer2:

Don't we all have our little quirks?! This morning I was puting away clothes for the girls. I have left their closets and drawers alone for quite some time now. But I couldn't stand it any longer.





I hang their clothes on different colored hangers, say pink for long sleeve, white for short sleeve, blue for dresses.


Plus I had to go through the drawers and refold. :sad2: I am a closet neat freak! Only things that people can't see anyways. :crazy:

[becka]

Becka - I have a package of Finding Nemo Little Swimmers (12 pack), sized for 16-26 lbs. Want me to pack 'em for you or is that too small for her?

Thanks for looking Missy but I bet they would be too small on her. She weights about 24 pounds right now and I usually try to buy the next size up.

I do appreciate you taking the time to look though! :)

[becka]

Okay Becka - my DSs will take care of your DD at the firedrill and they will counsel your DS on bathroom etiquette. Believe me....they know how and where to aim...they fear the rath of mom!!!

Can you teach me this rath thing? ;) Apparently my rath is too wimpy for my kids... :rolleyes:

[pyramid2000]

There are no DCL autograph books. Just the same ones that they have in the park. Major missed opportunity for DCL to make more $$$ IMO.

Definately a missed opportunity! I would have to get three! :thumbsup2
I am going to look through their books and see if I can find something like Angie's. Was it a small book Angie?

[lbgraves]

If ours ever opens, doesn't look like any time soon,litigation, it won't have groceries. :teeth:

As much as I hate to say this, prices have gone up enough at our two local grocery stores that WM does have the lowest prices on alot of things. This was not the case last year. For example Capris Sun Juice boxes are regularly 3.69 at the store & the best they go on sale for here is 2.00 and rarely BOGO so 1.85 each. The every day price at WM is 1.67. Cheeze Nips are on sale for 2.00 each some times but they are only 1.50 every day at WM. Milk has been $1 cheaper there for two years now.

I use to be able to stay away from WM with double coupons & stockpiling with sales. That just isn't the case anymore since they stopped allowing you to use a coupon on each item with a BOGO sale. :(

[pyramid2000]

anyone know where the deck 2 muster station is? I think when we were down there before we were in one of the theatres.

I know deck 2 forward is in the Theater...

:grouphug: I've had a strange pain in my wrist for the last month or so. :confused3

Couldn't be anything to do with the DIS I'm sure. :rolleyes1

I never thought I would get so excited about this, but with the contest and all... :rolleyes1

DS is mainly interested in lanyard pins. DD collects princess pins.

I remember it being around 7 or 7:30? We had the earlier seating and they would want to leave early every night to go to the cart and one of the little shows like Mickey Mania. Since we were at a table alone (can you imagine??) we got through dinner pretty quick.

Alright everyone - happy Monday!!!


So is anyone else thinking about what they will be doing on this day in 3 weeks? I think I'm driving my family crazy...on Sunday I was talking about what we will be doing on CC in 3 weeks..

I was blaring Disney songs on the way to school this AM. I told my kids I would turn it down when they started to dance. It worked!

::yes:: I have been doing that too and I also try not to think about what I will be doing in 4 weeks! :sad:

:rotfl: at the Disney music because we too are in full Disney mode! We were listening to the Mickey's Dance Party CD this morning and while usually I turn over to the radio once the kids are not in the car this morning I just turned it up and danced and sang by myself! :cool1:

I seem to remember it being around 7:00 - 7:30'ish because we had early seating and we made it to pin trading a few nights. :confused3

I can't believe we are under 20 days!
I checked the website, no upgrades for us!

Happy Birthday V! I am at work so the big birthday smilies will have to wait until tonight! :teeth:

V - I believe the muster station for that section of Deck 2 is just outside on Deck 5. We were in 2614 in February and that is where we were. I think only Deck 2 Forward is lucky and is in the theater.

Well I can’t post my spreadsheet but I can post a huge list of some of the items on my spreadsheet. Maybe we should all post our list that way we will remember stuff we are probably forgetting. I am sure there is more I need to add but this is my start. My actual spreadsheet has a little more detail like how many pair of socks, etc…

Quarters for Tolls
Light Blankets in the Car for Travel

Unless my boss believes in bats....BRB!

I think Becka's list made everyone scampered away to recheck their stuff! :lmao:

[klineyqueen]

While we were shopping yesterday, I saw a Hawaiian shirt for DH. He actually looked at, but then saw the price. $116!!!
My DH will be wearing Hawaiian shirts almost everyday. He loves them! I got him 2 for his birthday which I will be giving him on the ship. I got him one at woolrich that he really liked...it was about $40. It is 100% silk. Most of his were in the 15 - 20 dollar range...but he really like it.

[pyramid2000]

I just rechecked availability- pretty much the same. A couple of 10s and 9s opened up while a few 5s are gone. Upgraded maybe? :confused3

There are 102 available cabins CAT 4 through 11

[brack]

Well I can’t post my spreadsheet but I can post a huge list of some of the items on my spreadsheet. Maybe we should all post our list that way we will remember stuff we are probably forgetting. I am sure there is more I need to add but this is my start. My actual spreadsheet has a little more detail like how many pair of socks, etc…

You could email us all the spreadsheet! I have EXCEL. :thumbsup2

[klineyqueen]

:rotfl: :lmao: I have not been to Kmart in a long, long time. Do they still have blue light specials? :rotfl2:
:confused3 I don't think so.

That is true but do you really want to know how many pairs of underwear I am bringing for Nathan or how many pairs of socks I need for the week or a list of each medication? My spreadsheet is really specific - down to each person and how many of each item I need. I basically grouped my spreadsheet into the above categories - my list above was just the generic version that I thought would be more useful.

My heart just dropped! I saw the mailtruck coming and a larger envelope getting put into the mailbox. Could it be? Docs???I ran outside and sure enough it was from DCL!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Hmmmmmmmm addressed to DH so it couldn't be something from the Med.
Tear it open...and...and...just a welcome aboard thing since we booked another room. :guilty: :sad2:
Bummer!!!

[klineyqueen]

As much as I hate to say this, prices have gone up enough at our two local grocery stores that WM does have the lowest prices on alot of things. This was not the case last year. For example Capris Sun Juice boxes are regularly 3.69 at the store & the best they go on sale for here is 2.00 and rarely BOGO so 1.85 each. The every day price at WM is 1.67. Cheeze Nips are on sale for 2.00 each some times but they are only 1.50 every day at WM. Milk has been $1 cheaper there for two years now.

I use to be able to stay away from WM with double coupons & stockpiling with sales. That just isn't the case anymore since they stopped allowing you to use a coupon on each item with a BOGO sale. :(
Our walmart also has consistently lower prices. The only problem is that they don't have the selection.

[brack]

HA!! You too are an addict, Brack! Admit it. :rotfl: ;)


My name is Brack. I am a DISBoard Addict! :blush: :confused3

Lisa you got me kind of nostalgic so I went back to first of this thread.

It was started on November 25, 2004 two years this week!

I was the 22nd post and the 10th person to post on the thread. One of the other 9 was never really on the cruise (HappyLawyer) he was booked on the Wonder during our cruise.

It has been a very long wait and I for one am ready but it has been a very fun ride on this thread! :thumbsup2 :grouphug:

[lillygator]

Thanks guys for the birthday wishes...just another Monday these days!

[Jhalkias]

Nintendo's new game system. Wireless interface blah blah blah blah.

I am going to quit answering for a page or two. Too many sages here!

For The Drive
Quarters for Tolls


Can anyone tell me how much money we'll need for tolls?

[becka]

Only 23 other threads have a # of posts higher than 2,314 and of those 22 already have finished the cruise. So with almost 10 months left to go before the cruise you guys were already a longer thread than most cruise meets threads ever are!

GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[lillygator]

I think there are several $1.5-2 tolls along the way. Can't remember ezactly and I would bet they have gone up.

[lillygator]

packing list ----- I have two sheets on the dining room table that have what items I have already packed.....as I put something I just jot it down. Don't want to forget anything!

[lillygator]

I hope to add to it tonight as the table must be cleared off by Thursday!

Hi all,
1. Congrats to Andy, the latest 000 pirate:

5. MY Rebel XTi (and new lens, and backpack, and filter) arrived by UPS today!

I can't remember exactly how much either but I do remember we put about $20 worth of quarters in a baggie and kept it in the car and it was more than enough for all of the tolls we paid on our entire trip to and from Florida.

[lillygator]

has everyone who is staying at WDW made their reservations?
I am on the phone with WDW right now and there is NO availability at ANY resort 12/7-12/9. I was still trying to change.....I just hate to waste so much money for a two night stay where we won't even be able to enjoy the pool, etc.

Those with room only reservations have until 5 day out to cancel right? I would call starting on 12/2 really early and see if you find anything opening up. :)

I think I will try that...if not, I will probably cancel and just room with my mom for two nights. The savings (and extra cruise spending money, not to mention on site babysitter) would be worth it.

Its a new nintendo game...from what i've heard its one of those interactive physical games - for example, you stand in front of the TV with a tennis racket and actually swing the racket to hit the "ball", or whatever...

Wii is pronounced "WEE", as in you buy this and your money will go "wee wee wee" all the way to the store.... :
That was funny.


http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l26/fredneck_89/K3/connie_12.gif
Crazy people and their infatuations with these fad items...I have to disagree with buying into these kinds of things because they just show people its ok to fight and be ignorant to one another for the sake of a stupid game that will be obsolete in 6 months...granted the Wii crowds were not nearly as bad as the PoS3...Remember all of those non electronic "fads" - Cabbage Patch Kids and before that Beatles tickets and before that Frank Sinatra. ;) Sadly I think these same people would probably still behave badly whether they were buying a fad product or not. Perhaps that just gave them the excuse to outwardly reflect what is within?

First of all :grouphug: . I hope you feel better very soon!

Secondly the actual sinus infection is not contagious. Now whatever cold, etc.. caused the sinus infection could be but if you started with it weeks ago you may be OK. You would think they would have caught it by now.

We sure have been a sick bunch lately. Let's hope we get it all out of our systems now so we are better in a little over 2 weeks! :yay:

[MrsMork]

Marielle, you could ship it to us. We will see PJ on 12/6 and can give it to her then. We are driving so no problem fitting it somewhere.
I can check Kohl's next week and bring one. We will see her on the 6th also. Maybe before since we are neighbors! :thumbsup2

Definately a missed opportunity! I would have to get three! :thumbsup2
I am going to look through their books and see if I can find something like Angie's. Was it a small book Angie?

We had quite the time with tolls. We do not have such things here, and wound up looking for pennies at the last one! OY, caused a little bit of a back up, but we had a rental car with Georgia plates so we were at least relieved that we were not giving Oregonians a bad name! :rotfl: :rotfl2:

DH is driving me :crazy: right now. He is one of those shoppers who will buy thing because he liked the price, not because it is something he needs. :rolleyes:

He is back at the furniture store, (3rd day in a row and the place isn't exactly around the corner, more like 36 miles away) and keeps calling me every half an hour. It's their last day. He is still looking at the mattresses. I think they are too much even if they are a good price. Now he is back to looking at area rugs. I am a wall-to-wall kinda carpet gal, so I keep trying to explain to him I don't have anything to input. Then he wants to get one for Sarah's room, but she said she doesn't want one if she hasn't seem it. Now he want's to buy an armoire that he likes, but we don't even need one! HELP!!!

I was talking with a friend, the one who took over the GS troop from me, and mentioned she should come with us. I am forever doing this to people. :rotfl: Well, turns out they had been planning to go to WDW a week ago and had to cancel. She mentioned it to her DH and he didn't say no, at least not yet. Espcially when I told her the price. Her daughter is Dina's BF. She would be turning inside out if they decide to come.

Hi Carla,

I'm way behind again, but just go at it when I get a chance. LOL. Angie just gave up and went to bed. I was just about to do the same. I had to quit about 1/2 hour ago because of a TERRIBLE leg cramp. OWEEEEEE!! It would not go away. I was walking like, oh, I don't know if you knew who CHester was........:rotfl2: :rotfl2: on GUNSMOKE. ANyway, I walked it off. LOL.


I had one of those in the bottom of my foot yesterday. DD was talking to me an all the sudden i could not talk back. OWWWWW!

Yes, you have been here since this threads wee beginnings! :cool1:

[tynkerbell]

We had quite the time with tolls. We do not have such things here, and wound up looking for pennies at the last one! OY, caused a little bit of a back up, but we had a rental car with Georgia plates so we were at least relieved that we were not giving Oregonians a bad name! :rotfl: :rotfl2:

I've never in my life dealt with tolls so I'm not real sure what to expect myself. :crazy:

[Jhalkias]

People are just nuts! LOL. DGS works at the store (Fred Meyers) where he got his. There were about 45 people in line already, so his boss let him off a little early to wait in line. He was number 69 and there were 75 units for sale, only one per person allowed. So he and his friend each got one. They were playig it tonight and it looks like a lot of fun. I think it is a better deal than PS3. That one has too many restrictions and the games cost too much. phooey, although I am not a real gamer. Wii has boxing baseball etc, too, which is interactive with motion. I can't wait to try the boxing. I love it. I whip the arcade boxers quite a few times. LOL. Even at my age. I don't know if I still have the stamina though. It's good exercise.

One post before I leave to take Sophia to CiCi's for dinner . . .

Here is what I saw on an email tech newsletter that I get . . .

No Wii for you, Ralphie; you'll put your eye out: The final entrant in this holiday season's game console war, Nintendo's Wii, launched over the weekend with the requisite campers rushing the shelves, though thankfully without any of the bloodshed that marred the launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 last week (and may lead to Sony getting a bill from the city of Boston). Early reports were that the Wii, priced at about half the cost of the PS3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360, was moving briskly and selling out at some locations -- a pleasant surpise for Nintendo because while PS3 shortages were expected, there were plenty of Wiis in the pipeline.

The lack of any reported felonies among Wii fans did not mean that the launch was without casualties, however. The Wii's unique controller is motion-sensitive, letting users interact physically with a game, like slashing with a sword or swinging a bat ... or rolling a bowling ball, which was what one new user and his buddy were doing when the friend uncorked a throw vigorous enough to snap the safety wrist strap and send the controller flying out of his slippery hand smack into the screen of a 60" TV, leaving an impressive crack. Count on it -- with the Wii turning couch potatoes into jumping beans, this will be the first of many stories involving property damage and physical injury to users and bystanders. Then the feds will start making kids wear helmets when they play, and it'll all go to hell.

LOL re the Chester image. I'm glad you were able to walk it off - those are painful.

It's 2:55A here - I need to crash. Night!

OK, one more . . .

How about Hop Sing from Bonanza?

I remember Chester & Hop Sing... but mostly I remember that anyone limping around at my house growing up was subjected to "Chester" jokes.

Most of the East Coast has toll experts.... but then again, most of us have now switched to EZPass or the equivalent and don't have to stop and pay!

DH is starting to get it here too. He was asking when we were getting back. One of his employees is leaving for Arizona on the 14th. So???? :rolleyes:

That's nice! :rolleyes1 I guess that he wanted to take a jet home from Cozumel? :lmao: We need to teach that man what a vacation is!

[brack]

What a day ..... now we are off to dinner at a staff members house.

[brack]

Can't complain too much though .... I just had an accidental nap (with JoJo) in the recliner

[brack]

as a matter of fact JoJo is still napping .... wish I could join him.

[brack]

I have to washing some of our things and laying out the suit cases tomorrow

[lbgraves]

A pharmacy won't fit in a quart ziplock baggie. ROTFLOL!

LOL! I guess that is going in one of the boxes you are shipping ahead of you? :teeth:

I can't get too far behind the rest of you guys

I thought that I was the only one around but there are people out there .....

We're pros at tolls here in NJ. :rolleyes:

Let me add a pirate:

I loved the tolls in Oklahoma. We could drive through them at 75 mph! Here it is 10 or 15 mph ..... how wimpy is that?

[brack]

Time to get ready for dinner. Later.

[lbgraves]

We're doing the blue hawaiian mickey ensemble first night....

I guess that we will do our Tiki Mickey outfits the first night too. :)

[lbgraves]

what rotations is our late group - I figured it was all the same.

although I would rather have PAL.

elaine

Late seating will be APL. It wasn't chosen for the rotation. It is the 8 pm seating. Early went with the 6 pm seating, which is LAP.

I thought the rotation that started with PC was PLA? That is the rotation we requested to ensure that Lumiere's was our dining room the second night. Have I screwed up? :confused3

Frantic call from DW .... accident in downtown Baltimore diverted her. Mapqust to the rescue but not without a lot anguish!

Can you say GPS for Christmas? :confused3

Hi all,
5. MY Rebel XTi (and new lens, and backpack, and filter) arrived by UPS today!


Cool! :thumbsup2

[Bella2000]

I put Becka's "list" into a document and it was very helpful (thanks becka). I have only added an extension cord to it and removed the diaper and sippy cups and AAA things thus far. Most others are pretty relevant.

If you all can just add to my list I'll just use that one vs. creating one myself. That is the only thing I stress about - packing. Other than than I just purchase things on board and last I checked underware isn't sold on board.

[brack]

has everyone who is staying at WDW made their reservations?
I am on the phone with WDW right now and there is NO availability at ANY resort 12/7-12/9. I was still trying to change.....I just hate to waste so much money for a two night stay where we won't even be able to enjoy the pool, etc.

I made mine weeks ago for after the cruise. (staying outside the property for the Friday night ....shhhhh)

[pyramid2000]

I am really confused now...
I looked at the Oct navigators and they had dinner all messed up on them!

1st has A L L A P L A

2nd has P A P L A P P

3rd has L P A P L A L

What is up with the navigator??

I messed it up the first time.

This really stresses out the OCD planner in me!!! We really need Lumiere's the 2nd night or all my Palo plans get screwed up. :sad:

You're very welcome Brack. I wouild have gotten it, but the computer locked up.

While Sony surely knew it would be in big demand, they have no control over how people act. What else could they do, short of having people only order it on-line? Almost a half a million systems seems like more than enough to start to me, but I guess there are a lot more people out there willing to spend $600 (or $2000) on a game then I would think. :rolleyes:

I just don't think anyone would have a case against Sony, but I am sure I am wrong.

I am positive the dinners weren't this way! It is just how it was listed in the Navigators that I saw. I wonder if it caused any problems?

How about Big Valley? The question becomes do you remember them in B&W or in color. No comment on Amos & Andy - and he's not talking about the radio personalities. Not PC would be an understatement

We asked for APL early seating and we got it. Our dinner is at 530pm.

That would also be for the 8 pm dinner.

Is it playing on Thursday? Is this a good enough reason to get home earlier?

[lbgraves]

okay - I'm 20 pages behind here and 100 emails behind at work...but I ran across this one..

what have you guys heard??? HOAX???

DRUG RECALL INFORMATION

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.


This is an old one. According to snopes it is out of date.

Origins: On
6 November 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health advisory warning that phenylpropanolamine (PPA), an ingredient found in many over-the-counter cold medications and diet aids, may cause strokes and thus should be avoided. Although the FDA has not yet issued a mandatory recall of PPA-containing products, they have asked drug manufacturers to voluntarily stop selling products containing PPA and provide safer alternatives. As a result, most products that formerly included PPA have now been discontinued or reformulated without PPA while the FDA proceeds with the regulatory process necessary to remove all PPA-containing products from the market.

Dody, I looked back at the 6/24 Navs and got this:

1st seating - APL (5:30 & 8)
2nd seating - PLA (5:45 & 8:15)
3rd seating - LAP (6 & 8:30)

An example of just one of the things I love about Lisa..... I read the original post- thought oh I think that's out of date on snopes. I'll check that later and post. Then I got tied up and thought I won't worry Lisa will post on it. ;)
