WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember The Magic-Pt4

[LisaG520]

My niece's 7th birthday is next month. She has decided on a Pirate and Princess party (was originally going all princess but then wanted to invite 2 boys so we convinced her to add the pirate part).

We need suggestions for activities to keep about 20 kids busy for 3 hours.

So far there is going to be a pinata and cake.

Any ideas?

[HollyTyler]

My dad will eat green beans at every meal too! Mom has to mix it up as she gets tired of them.

If only we all did what our doctors told us - I had pizza for dinner followed by a fun size twix :scared1:
Well, at least your dinner was better for you than mine! :rotfl:

THREE HOURS?! Yikes. I'd cut that time in 1/2, and then check out Oriental Trading Company's website. They have lots of great craft activities that would be fun for parties, as well as everything you'd need for goody bags. :thumbsup2 How about a scavenger hunt?

[HollyTyler]

We all know how sweet Jan is, right? Well, I want to share another example of her big heart! Not sure if anybody remembers, but a while back, she posted a picture of the camo afghan she made for a baby gift, and I'd posted how much Tyler loved it when I showed it to him and he hoped Santa could bring him one. ;)

Well, look what showed up in our mail yesterday for Tyler:

I'm suffering from horrible biological calendar problems. I feel like it should be Friday today.

Good new is that we got an email this afternoon that the company will close at 2PM tomorrow.

I am slipping into vacation mode very rapidly, even though I go back to work for one day next week, Tuesday.

So, how do Sukie and I count anniversaries after we're married. We've been together for 21 years. What do we count? If it's from the wedding, I'll be 78 years old by the time we reach our 25 wedding anniversary. :eek:

Even scarier is that by the time we reach our 25th wedding anniversary, we will have spent 46 years of our lives together :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:
:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

The moral if this story is ... be careful who you talk to at a cocktail party. You might wind up, waking up 21 years later, looking over and thinking, "Who the hell are you?"

IAN


SEE YOU IN EIGHT DAYS!



See the rest of the 'wedding gang' in NINE days.

:dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

[HollyTyler]

That is awesome!!!
Sure is! As soon as he opened the box, he immediately remembered seeing the picture of the other one Jan made and he just couldn't believe it! I just had to share how happy she made him. :hug: Thanks again Jan!

[edna mode]

Oh, she's actually asked me (way back when she was speaking to me :lmao:) how I get him to eat veggies at dinner. I told her I put them on his plate and he eats them. :rotfl2: She says he won't eat them over there and I told her it's because he knows they have other options available. He knows I don't. I did tell his dad yesterday how he was even eating peas the other day, which he absolutely hates. After every bite, he'd say "yuck" and would keep eating them. :rotfl: He really only wants green beans with every meal, but I didn't realize we were out of them and I wasn't about to rush up to the store before dinner, so he had to make do with peas. He told me he doesn't like them but will eat them because he wants to do what his doctor told him to do. :thumbsup2

Tell her to get the correct freakin veggies!


Kelly, I just talked to my dad on the phone a few minutes ago. He called to ask if I'd changed my mind about coming to town this weekend. I told him that since Tyler's gone, I'd just rather come visit another time so that he can visit with them too, otherwise Tyler'd be sad about not being able to go see them. Then I told him I'm sorry if I hurt his feelings the other day about this, but that I really feel that it's my day and want to spend it my way this year, meaning I just want to enjoy my extra alone time and enjoy the peace and quiet. He told me "That's OK, but I'm still going to celebrate." I told him he can have a few beers that night in my honor and if I'm home, I'll have a couple too at around the same time. :thumbsup2 He got a kick out of that and then told me they're putting something in the mail for me tomorrow. Of course, that means my Walmart gift card! I told Tyler this year I want to buy the set of the original Star Wars movies with it! He thinks it's for him, but it's really for me.....I'll just try to share and let him watch it with me! ;)

Sounds like you made him feel better and got what you wanted in the first place... good communicating:thumbsup2

Pirate tattoos... gives the parents something to do (putting them on)

Pirate nailpolish too.

How to walk and talk like a pirate. Put a bunch of funny scenes into a fishbowl and they have to draw out a scene and act it out like a pirate. For example 2 pirates grocery shopping.

ha, I say that too, but our story is from a bar with Kamazies all around...you have 2 anniversaries now. The one from the beginning and the wedding. Since I'm so nice to my darling husband I picked our wedding day/date to match the meeting date (+5 years) and since I'm even nicer :rolleyes: I tell him we can just use the Friday after Thanksgiving instead of the real date (11/30) of course what I really mean is you owe me for 3 anniversaries, get it :dance3:

[nskjerven]

Somebody's got pre-wedding jitters! :rolleyes1

:hug:


I concur ::yes::

[LisaG520]

Here are some pics from last Sunday at AK and DHS:

We tried Yak & Yeti for lunch - very good

I had the Crispy Honey Chicken w/brown rice

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/LisaG520/DSC_0032-1.jpg

And Darrell had the Sweet n Sour Chicken w/Jasmine rice

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/LisaG520/DSC_0031-1.jpg

For dinner we went to Prime Time Cafe

I had the pot roast

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/LisaG520/DSC_0087-1.jpg

And Darrell had the fried chicken

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/LisaG520/DSC_0086.jpg

(Jackie this pictures for you :lmao: )

We also had the Smore's at Prime Time but there was nothing left but chocolate smears on the plate by the time I thought of taking a picture.

Thanks - I really like the fishbowl idea.

Not sure if the boys parents would like the nailpolish :scared1: But princess nail polish in the girls favor bags would be great!

[LisaG520]

And we did take pictures that weren't of food.

Notice Darrell's shirt matches the room - Yak & Yeti has a Dis green room!

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/LisaG520/DSC_0027.jpg

And here is one of me - yep we were wearing matching shirts

We are loving living in FL. Even with all the rain - we had thunder showers this afternoon.

Lime green is always exciting:thumbsup2

I'm thinking I can find stuff at Oriental Trading for a scavenger/treasure hunt too!

Normal "summertime" weather - afternoon thunderstorms :lmao:

Have you seen the information on TS HANNAH????:scared1:

[mishoe01]

Nan - hope you & Paul are doing better.....also remembered (again) today that I haven't sent you the $ I need to....so sorry. Will get onto Paypal tonight.

[LisaG520]

Normal "summertime" weather - afternoon thunderstorms :lmao:

Have you seen the information on TS HANNAH????:scared1:

Yep - and we have reservations for the weekend of Sept 5th at CBR :scared1:

Are you still working at EPCOT part-time?

[mishoe01]

I'm thinking I can find stuff at Oriental Trading for a scavenger/treasure hunt too!

Check in Walmart/Kmart/Target and dollar stores too...Pirate & Princess stuff is SO popular now so they could have stuff there too.

How about tiaras for the girls & pirate hats for the boys? I'm sure Oriental Trading has those.

[ibouncetoo]

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s10/LisaG520/DSC_0086.jpg

Oh man......I want this...served by "Aunt Sue" or some other wacky cast member. Well, maybe I'll just have to settle for some fried chicken from the Plaza Inn at DL....oh wait....I think I already have about seven meals in mind for the two days I'm in the park! :sad2:

If you can be anywhere for a storm WDW is a great place. They have their own generators so power doesn't seem to ever go out. They also try to do things at the resorts to keep guests happy & not stir crazy if you have to stay in doors.

RE: Epcot - technically I am still a CM - seasonal (for PT you have to work min of 2 days/week...I got tired of working 7 days a week so downgraded). At this moment there aren't many events going on (private parties w/ food) so any hours go to the PT CM's and not seasonal ones. I will probably be able to pick up some hours during Food & Wine Festival.

You & FOOD pictures! You make us all hungry!

At 50's Primetime I've never seen Aunt Sue - I always seem to have my cousins or siblings wait on me. Mom drops by every so often.

[mishoe01]

Holly - tell Tyler that I'm eating PEAS! Fresh out of the pod YUMMY!

[LisaG520]

We totally didn't think of tiaras - we were thinking necklaces, rings,etc. Tiaras a re a much better idea.

We had a cousin serve this. I can't remember his first name though.

Lisa - do you have anything like Party City near you? You could always look there too for things like table cloths, plates etc.

[mishoe01]

Kelly - saw the email - REALLY wish I was going to be there.

He was so happy! Jan did a great job! And it's very soft too. :cloud9:

[HollyTyler]

Holly - tell Tyler that I'm eating PEAS! Fresh out of the pod YUMMY!
:rotfl2: If he were here, I can tell you his response would be a very assertive "YUCK!" complete with screwed up face to match. ;)

[HollyTyler]

Kelly - saw the email - REALLY wish I was going to be there.
Me too. :sad1:

[HollyTyler]

I have this sudden strange urge to go outside and start pulling weeds and then mow. :rotfl2: But that will have to wait because it's DARK now! When did it start getting dark before 9pm? That happened without me even realizing it! Anyway, after a bunch of running around I need to do after work tomorrow night (including stopping at the hardware store for new yard gloves and more yard bags), hopefully it will still be light enough to at least weed and I can mow in the morning. Or the other way around, whichever I feel like when the time comes. I guess I should mow first since I hate that more than anything.....get the crap work out of the way. I like pulling weeds for some reason. It's relaxing.

[mishoe01]

I noticed earlier this week that it's not so bright at 6am anymore...so days ARE getting shorter (ugh)

My sister has one by her - the party is going to be in Wilmington, NC so I'll probably have OT stuff sent there directly.

Ian & Sukie invited me to join them last year for that Tea at the GF - LOVED it! I get to do it this year w/ Marilyn & John :goodvibes

[HollyTyler]

Since we haven't heard from Deb, I'm wondering if she did wind up having to get admitted to the hospital again. :sad1: I hope she's able to post from there when she feels up to it.

[HollyTyler]

Super tired here for some reason. Goodnight all! :cloud9:

Nite Holly - I'm off to watch latest update on Hannah then to bed myself.

Nite everyone!

[LuvBaloo]

I apologize in advance to all of you who are striving to make good food choices.

I stopped at Cold Stone Creamery on my way home from work to use my birthday freebie coupon. Oh my gosh, I was expecting the smallest size they had, since it was free. It was the middle size, and she OVERSTUFFED it! I was only able to eat about 1/3, so I have more for later. I chose "birthday cake remix", which is cake batter ice cream, sprinkles, a brownie, and they drizzle chocolate syrup over the whole thing and then mix it all up. I was in heaven the whole ride home! :cloud9: SUPER yummy!

Sounds yummy! Especially the brownie :)

My niece's 7th birthday is next month. She has decided on a Pirate and Princess party (was originally going all princess but then wanted to invite 2 boys so we convinced her to add the pirate part).

We need suggestions for activities to keep about 20 kids busy for 3 hours.

So far there is going to be a pinata and cake.

Any ideas?

Let the kids decorate hats - princess crowns and pirate bandanas. I recommend having felts and stickers to decorate with; avoid glitter glue or white glue, because the kids glop it on too thick and it won't be dry at the party. You can do a small cake with cupcakes and let the kids decorate their own cupcake. Instead of pin the tail on the donkey you could have a stick figure and pin the crown or pirate eye patch on it. You can little plastic swords (like for cocktail drinks) and skewer pieces of fruit for healthy snack.

I'm suffering from horrible biological calendar problems. I feel like it should be Friday today.

Good new is that we got an email this afternoon that the company will close at 2PM tomorrow.

I am slipping into vacation mode very rapidly, even though I go back to work for one day next week, Tuesday.

So, how do Sukie and I count anniversaries after we're married. We've been together for 21 years. What do we count? If it's from the wedding, I'll be 78 years old by the time we reach our 25 wedding anniversary. :eek:

Even scarier is that by the time we reach our 25th wedding anniversary, we will have spent 46 years of our lives together :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

I'm confused....what happened to Gustav? Did it already pass by? OK, now I'm really headed to bed.

No... I'm watching him... wondering if it vears this way, will I be able to make it out in time... They think Louisana, but TX just declared 61 counties emergency just in case and to day I saw all the highway signs telling us to keep gas in our cars... Fun stuff.. I may be evacuating for the first time... :sad2:

Did you end up buying the Santa Fe? I ended up renting one of them down here in Houston... in a very nice blue color... nice truck!!! I keep pretending you and I are out for a drive, but mom keeps popping up in the passenger seat... :rotfl:

[JLSE50]

Hi Everyone! Looks like I picked a busy day to pop on......I thought today was the PC day, but I didn't make it on to see any of the webcams. Probably better that way, as I would have gotten so sad since I wasn't on! :sad2:
I am going to try and keep up, we'll see how I do with that.

I am hanging in there. My vision is slowly starting to come back. I would say I have about 10% back at this point. Everything is in gray scale...
http://www.psych.ucalgary.ca/pace/va-lab/Brian/optic_neuritis_contrast.jpg
that pic is kind of how I am seeing right now, but that pic shows things much clearer than I can see. I can only shadows pretty close to me (like my hand in front of my face), but I can now tell where a window is or something like that....

I'll take all these improvements though and still believe that my sight will be 100% restored very soon. I am still showing no other signs of MS...which I hope to keep that way.

:goodvibes Thanks for all my emails and well wishes! They mean a lot. :goodvibes

Like i said, I am going to try and keep up here again, wish me luck:goodvibes

Great news!! :yay: Thanks for sharing.

Hi guys. No good news tonight. I just got home from the emergency room. My leg is not doing well again. Leaking, bleeding, etc. They cleaned it out on the surface and put me on antibiotics. They sent me home to say that they wanted me to go back to my wound care specialist who has been treating me for the past year. They want him to do a deep cleaning. I'm not sure if that can take place in the office or if I'll have to be admitted again. I'll find out tomorrow. So if I disappear again for a little while, you will all understand why. I can't believe I've been in a year of treatment and they're still not well. Last August right after mom's funeral, I went into the hospital to take care of them and don't you know it's another August and I may be going back in. John or I will keep you posted. Say some pixie dust prayers and hope that all gets resolved this time once and for all. I'll be thinking of all of you.

Who has Deb's address? How about a Card Shower?

Jan :earsgirl:

[Tink rules]

They don't know I'd crochet out of all the scraps I have left over from all the afghans I'VE made!!!

What do they call it??? Shabby Chic??? Is that even in anymore???

Maybe I can get a sale on lime green...

I chose "birthday cake remix", which is cake batter ice cream, sprinkles, a brownie, and they drizzle chocolate syrup over the whole thing and then mix it all up. I was in heaven the whole ride home! :cloud9: SUPER yummy!

Oh yummy!!!:love:

My dad will eat green beans at every meal too! Mom has to mix it up as she gets tired of them.

If only we all did what our doctors told us - I had pizza for dinner followed by a fun size twix :scared1:

Only a fun size Twix?:rolleyes1

We all know how sweet Jan is, right? Well, I want to share another example of her big heart! Not sure if anybody remembers, but a while back, she posted a picture of the camo afghan she made for a baby gift, and I'd posted how much Tyler loved it when I showed it to him and he hoped Santa could bring him one. ;)

Well, look what showed up in our mail yesterday for Tyler:

Fantastic. well done Jan.:thumbsup2

I'm suffering from horrible biological calendar problems. I feel like it should be Friday today.

Good new is that we got an email this afternoon that the company will close at 2PM tomorrow.

I am slipping into vacation mode very rapidly, even though I go back to work for one day next week, Tuesday.

So, how do Sukie and I count anniversaries after we're married. We've been together for 21 years. What do we count? If it's from the wedding, I'll be 78 years old by the time we reach our 25 wedding anniversary. :eek:

Even scarier is that by the time we reach our 25th wedding anniversary, we will have spent 46 years of our lives together :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:
:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

The moral if this story is ... be careful who you talk to at a cocktail party. You might wind up, waking up 21 years later, looking over and thinking, "Who the hell are you?"


.

:lmao:

Well, I guess a wedding anniversary is a wedding anniversary(seeing as you ae getting married), but as Nan said, go for 2 celebrations a year. In 25 years you have your Silver Wedding, then just 4 years later you have a Golden Celebration!!! Sorry I probably won't be around to celelbrate.:eek:


Since we haven't heard from Deb, I'm wondering if she did wind up having to get admitted to the hospital again. :sad1: I hope she's able to post from there when she feels up to it.

I was wondering how she was and hope she isn't in hospital as she doesn't do well there. I remember last year she was so upset.

Jan, thank you for Tyler's email. He won't be home until Sunday, so it will have to wait until then. He did enjoy looking at the planes in the program from the air show and found 2 that we saw a little over a week ago here. :thumbsup2

I'm confused....what happened to Gustav? Did it already pass by? OK, now I'm really headed to bed.

Someone probably already answered this but....Gustav is still out there and will probably be a Cat 4 hurricane however it doesn't seem to be a threat to Florida.....forecasters are saying Hannah looks like another Jeanne (from 2004) headed to FL.

I keep an eye on all storms, but don't worry about the track unless it seems like it's going to affect me.

:rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2:

[mishoe01]

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

BARACK OBAMA : The chicken crossed the road because
it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!

JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the
road because he recognized the need to engage in
cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other
side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON : When I was First Lady, I
personally helped that little chicken to cross the road.
This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure
"right from Day One! " that every chicken in this
country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But
then, this really isn't about me.>

GEORGE W. BUSH : We don't really care why the
chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the
chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is
either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground
here.

DICK CHENEY : Where's my gun?

COLIN POWELL : Now to the left of the screen, you
can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing
the road.

BILL CLINTON : I did not cross the road with that
chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

GORE : I invented the chicken.

JOHN KERRY : Although I voted to let the chicken
cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road
to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against
it.

AL SHARPTON : Why are all the chickens white? We
need some black chickens.

DR. PHIL : The problem we have here is that this
chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the
problem on this side of the road before it goes after the
problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do
is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not
taking on his current problems before adding new problems.

OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having
problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad.
So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes
and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to
give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across
the road and not live his life like the rest of the
chickens.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe
there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to
have access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE : That chicken crossed the road because
he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he
walks.

PAT BUCHANAN : To steal the job of a decent,
hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which
way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the
Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped
to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider
information.

DR SEUSS : Did the chicken cross the road? Did he
cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road,
but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY : To die in the rain, alone.

GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken
crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the
road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS : Isn't that interesting? In a
few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for
the first time, the heart warming story of how it
experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to
accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE : It is the nature of chickens to cross
the road.

JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world
crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES : I have just released eChicken2008,
which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file
your important documents, and balance your checkbook.
Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2008. This
new platform is much more stable and will never
craâ?¦#@&&^(C%..........reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN : Did the chicken really cross the
road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

[granmaz]

I hope they all fizzle and nothing really makes landfall! I did just peak at the projected paths...does it look like Hanna might interfere with the Magic's homecoming on Monday? It just seems to be hanging out there off the coast over the weekend......

Perhaps in some alternate parallel universe in a different space time dimension, parallel Ian and parallel Sukie would do that. Ride around on donkeys and play baseball. They probably also swill moonshine and go on turkey shoots.

However in this space time continuum, you all got stuck with this version of Ian and Sukie.

I can safely say that there is a greater chance of us wearing polyester leisure suits than playing donkey baseball.

Ok this is just screaming at me for a photoshop. Hmmm to find some pics of Ian and Sukie now ....

Not that is the question. Where would they sail to Alaska from?

I guess firstly there would be the option of the WB repo to LA, then from LA to wherever near Alaska, then the start of the summer cruises up there.

I'm up for the PC bit and possibly further up the coast. Not sure I could manage the Alaska one then though.

From looking in the past at Repositioning cruises to Alaska that is what happens. Sometimes you can book either, getting off in LA or just staying on. Sometimes it is San diego.

San Diego is closer to FL than LA but I understand what you mean. That would be alright and I wonder if it would make Venetia happy so I don't have to go all the way to Alaska ;)

Well you know how I feel about it :lmao: I wish we could go to Mazatlan instead of Acapulco.

[MouseFaninQueue]

So other than photobucket, what does everybody else use to get pictures posted on here? I don't know how to do it without photobucket. Did I mention I'm severely technologically challenged? ;)

I used Flickr to put all the door magnets I was doing before the cruise.

For all the rest of my pics I use a place called Dropshots.com. I really like them because it is really simple to upload pics to and they are organized based on date (digital cameras encode each pic you take with a little bit of info such as the date it was taken on so long as the date and time on your camera are set correctly). In addition the site allows people to make comments on your pics as well.

You can take a look at my Dropshots page here: www.dropshots.com/knewell

To get a pic to post on the Disboards you have to use what is known as the "image tags". In short you take the website address of the pic (http://www.yourpicsaddress.com/pic1.jpg) and put it in between the "image tags". The tags are "[img ] ____ [/img ] (just take out the spaces).

Your full entry would then look like this (without the spaces):

[img ]http://www.yourpicsaddress.com/pic1.jpg[/img ]

Or if you are in full editor mode there is an icon in the tools that looks like a mountain with a yellow background, click on that and little window will pop open where you put the web address of your pic and hit enter and it will go into your post with the "image tags" automatically.

Probably already answered but I needed to mark my spot. Less than 50 pages to go!

[granmaz]

Well you know how I feel about it :lmao: I wish we could go to Mazatlan instead of Acapulco.

I wouldn't get off the ship in Acapulco if it stopped there again. I think they need fuel though.

[gaylean93]

That makes sense but I wouldn't get off either. The cliff divers weren't worth the hassle of getting there. The cab drivers were horrible to me. Maybe we would do an excursion but I heard they were bad too.

Check... will have palm tree on dinner table nightly....

Will put you and Harry on list of people to order long underwear for... ;)

[MouseFaninQueue]

Sukie and I, like Ken to Barbie, are merely accessories.

I am not an accessory!!


:rotfl2:

[MouseFaninQueue]

Do you do Ballroom Dancing? I'd like to learn some real dancing one day. Ken's agreed to do country dancing lessons with me at some point in the future :thumbsup2

I did?? :confused3 This is news to me. :scared1: :scared1:

[ragdoll]

Hi Donna!!! So lovely to see you. I feel I am so new to cruising that I want the traditional experience for a while - sun and heat(with a palm tree too). Perhaps soon I will be ready for the cooler type of cruise and the downright cold one!!!:lmao:

I will never be ready for a cold cruise! Believe it or not though, I do love winter and snow. But vacation has to be hot!

My niece's 7th birthday is next month. She has decided on a Pirate and Princess party (was originally going all princess but then wanted to invite 2 boys so we convinced her to add the pirate part).

We need suggestions for activities to keep about 20 kids busy for 3 hours.

So far there is going to be a pinata and cake.

Any ideas?

We did a pirate birthday for Shaelyn a few years back. We had the kids decorate pirate bandanas. Shannon just cut some cheap white cloth into bandanas and then brought out the markers and the kids coloured on them. You could do pirate bandanas and princess crowns (just use cardboard for the crowns).

Both groups could decorate "treasure chests" as pirates seek treasure chests and princesses have them in their rooms.

[Tink rules]

:lmao: :lmao: No, I got the Tucson, it's slightly smaller sister. (BTW, Peg says I should name her Belle.)

I'm sure she's a beauty!!!

Are you in for a PC reunion?

YUP!!!

You should have left the beer too. She would have drank that too :lmao:

What do you think is IN the bubba mug???

I am:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: As long as all is well with me by then, but I figure 2 years should be a good enough recovery time:lmao: And then, I'll stay on board for the first AK cruise, even though I have no desire to cruise alaska, I would do it just because it is disney!


Morning everyone!!! Off to do back to school shopping and then hit the Hawks game!!!! :) GO HAWKS :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
Happy Friday

I'd be there too... maybe we'll need to link dining... with anyone else we can talk into stayin on board with us!!!


:lmao: :lmao:



Oh yes!!!:dance3:



Not that is the question. Where would they sail to Alaska from?

I guess firstly there would be the option of the WB repo to LA, then from LA to wherever near Alaska, then the start of the summer cruises up there.

I'm up for the PC bit and possibly further up the coast. Not sure I could manage the Alaska one then though.

Maybe they will have a special cruise from LA including Alaska then start off with regular Alaska cruises...

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: A fake palm tree and long unerwear just will not do.:laughing: You will have to bribe me with something much better than that!

Ummm CASH?????

[MouseFaninQueue]

You get to track both ways. Ken & I have been married 10 years, but we've been a couple for 18 :cool1:

Holy crap! :scared1: You're that old??!!??!!


:cool2:

[MouseFaninQueue]

You should have left the beer too. She would have drank that too :lmao:

Sorry I'm Canadian. Bud Light is NOT considered beer here.

[MouseFaninQueue]

San Diego is closer to FL than LA but I understand what you mean. That would be alright and I wonder if it would make Venetia happy so I don't have to go all the way to Alaska ;)

Oh just face it you are coming up north and you there will be a picture of you on a glacier with your scarf from Michelle and an afghan from Jan in your mukluks made by Shannon.

The sooner you come to grips with it the better off you will be.

[MouseFaninQueue]

I wouldn't get off the ship in Acapulco if it stopped there again. I think they need fuel though.

Us either. Been there done that. Ain't doing it again.

Now, when the ship stops in Prince Rupert, BC, Canada on it's way to Alaska.....

[Tink rules]

Oh just face it you are coming up north and you there will be a picture of you on a glacier with your scarf from Michelle and an afghan from Jan in your mukluks made by Shannon.

Ah... Ken... what color would you like your mukluks to be???? ;)

[MouseFaninQueue]

Ok... that's three of us... I wonder if Shannon crochets/knits???

Oh and it's going to take long underwear to get Gaylean and Marilyn on board!!! :lmao:

Why yes, yes she does. Just to make Gaylean roll her eyes .... :lmao:

[Tink rules]

Did Ken finally leave Barbie for Alan? What did Midge have to say?

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Good one Monica. :thumbsup2 The folk I know anyway.;)

My thoughts exactly, although half the TV channels I watch are US so I recognize most of the American politicians. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:


Now I'm only over 100 pages behind. Shannon hasn't done very well at keeping me up to date.

Although she did tell me that Oct is what we are waiting for now with release of the cruise itineraries for 2010. Guess I know her priorities!! LOL

I give you the critical details - who has car accidents, who is sick or in hospital, when we have to book our next cruise. All the top priorities!:thumbsup2

I believe that was when you refused to dance with me during our wedding song.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I had to visit the hygiene facilities :guilty:


Ok... that's three of us... I wonder if Shannon crochets/knits???

Oh and it's going to take long underwear to get Gaylean and Marilyn on board!!! :lmao:

Yup, I can crochet and knit. ;) We could also get green arctic fleece material and sew scarves with appliqued black mickey heads on the ends of the scarves :thumbsup2 There's so many options!
We could even knit disgreen wooly underwear for Gaylean and Marilyn ;)

You have wedding songs? Does that mean Sukie and I need to choose a wedding song?

Yup :thumbsup2 Haven't you already got one? You have fantastic outfits planned, you should have a fantastic first dance number planned. ;)

Do you remember how cold it was on deck at night when we got to the Pacific? Those were warm nights in comparison.

Put it this way: Make sure your sleeping bags are rated for temps below 0. And yes I am talking about July and August.

For the record it is noon here and the temp is only 50*F. Monday is supposed to be sunny so it will reach a high of 62*F - but a low of 35*F

Normally Seattle or Vancouver is the base for an Alaska cruise. If they based out of LA I bet they'd only be doing one way *or* fewer but long cruises. :confused3

Anyone have any ideas of what job I can do that doesn't include having to actually deal w/ people????

I know I had a short fuse lately but still!

I am on page 108

[JLSE50]

I'm here and it has been crazy the last few days. Brooke's birthday turned out alright. I don't think I'll ever wait until 2 days before school starts to have a party. Ethan didn't get his hair cut or a new back pack. I feel bad because, when I dropped him off, I realized none of the other kids had character back packs this year :scared1: I went searching last night but everything is picked over. I guess I'll try again this weekend. Brooke woke up screaming at 3:00 am on Sunday night because her tooth hurt. She didn't stop for hours but insisted on going to her first day of 1st grade. I told her to call me if the motrin wore off and explained to the teacher the situation. Well she told the teacher her tooth hurt and she sent her to the office and the office told Brooke that they didn't call moms for teeth pain :scared1: I already love this teacher! Our dentist is closed on Mondays so she has an appointment today but I'm not sure if they will work on her because she woke up this morning with a fever and a sore throat. So she is home today because I apparently can't trust the school to call me if there is an issue.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I think I would be upset at the office. The teacher sent Brooke :sick: to them and they are the ones who would not let her call you. Poor baby! :hug: Poor Mama! :hug: We expect people to take care of our precious kids! :thumbsup2

How is the tooth now? Sore throat and fever gone?

Hope everyone is well!

They play school!! princess:princess: That is so darned cute!

Sorry I'm late to the party. Got busy and didn't get on here.

So here you go:

Now I'm only over 100 pages behind. Shannon hasn't done very well at keeping me up to date.

Although she did tell me that Oct is what we are waiting for now with release of the cruise itineraries for 2010. Guess I know her priorities!! LOL
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[HollyTyler]

HEY everybody! :goodvibes I was super swamped at work today, and then after work I had tons of running around to do because it was payday. NOW I can finally sit down and relax. But I'm really hungry, so I'm gonna go eat first before catching up here. Maybe. Unless the temptation is too strong! Resistance is futile! ;)

[HollyTyler]

I hope they all fizzle and nothing really makes landfall! I did just peak at the projected paths...does it look like Hanna might interfere with the Magic's homecoming on Monday? It just seems to be hanging out there off the coast over the weekend......
Oh, how I'd love to be on a ship that wasn't able to make it back on the right day! :cloud9: With travel insurance, that is. One of my co-workers had that happen once on the Magic and they were given a hefty discount off their next cruise. Double bonus! Extra day onboard for free, and discounted next cruise! :banana:

[HollyTyler]

I used Flickr to put all the door magnets I was doing before the cruise.

For all the rest of my pics I use a place called Dropshots.com. I really like them because it is really simple to upload pics to and they are organized based on date (digital cameras encode each pic you take with a little bit of info such as the date it was taken on so long as the date and time on your camera are set correctly). In addition the site allows people to make comments on your pics as well.

You can take a look at my Dropshots page here: www.dropshots.com/knewell (http://www.dropshots.com/knewell)

To get a pic to post on the Disboards you have to use what is known as the "image tags". In short you take the website address of the pic (http://www.yourpicsaddress.com/pic1.jpg) and put it in between the "image tags". The tags are " ____ [/img ] (just take out the spaces).

Your full entry would then look like this (without the spaces):

[img ]http://www.yourpicsaddress.com/pic1.jpg[/img ]

Or if you are in full editor mode there is an icon in the tools that looks like a mountain with a yellow background, click on that and little window will pop open where you put the web address of your pic and hit enter and it will go into your post with the "image tags" automatically.

Probably already answered but I needed to mark my spot. Less than 50 pages to go!
So I actually could have posted pics from any of the sites I tried, just by using the [img] before and the after. I didn't know that because I'm just used to how easy photobucket is, where you just click on the code and then I plop it into the text of my post and the picture shows up. :rotfl: Photobucket for me is like posting pictures for dummies! I love how easy it is and was so sad when it wasn't working for whatever reason. But it's back now, so I don't have to worry about it. And it wasn't my computer acting up because every other website I went to worked fine. Photobucket just wouldn't fully load on my screen for some reason. Strange.

[HollyTyler]

Oh Ian, I remembered to rent Zoolander tonight! ;) Will watch it later, or maybe tomorrow morning.

[HollyTyler]

Oh, and I also rented "What Happens in Vegas". Looks good!

Now......off to eat my dinner before I start chewing on the computer. Back later to catch up more.

See we can still sit out in our bathing suits when we go to Alaska, just like this couple.

I saw a guy in downtown Indianapolis one time holding a sign that said
WHY LIE, I WANT BOOZE

I did not help him.

Our new Mayor has arranged for metal collection boxes to be situated downtown near where pan-handlers hang out. Written on them it says that money put in them will be given to the various programs -- and there are plenty -- in the city that feed, house and clothe people.

Anyone who wants to make a donation can. It will go to people who really know how to help and not to people who want drugs or drinks. The pan-handlers nearby see it happen too.

Woody??? How did you get there???

Don't you love how Woody pops in and tells us where he is and then leaves us hanging?! Last time at least we got pictures! Woody: Details, man, we want details please! ;)

[LisaG520]

We did a pirate birthday for Shaelyn a few years back. We had the kids decorate pirate bandanas. Shannon just cut some cheap white cloth into bandanas and then brought out the markers and the kids coloured on them. You could do pirate bandanas and princess crowns (just use cardboard for the crowns).

Both groups could decorate "treasure chests" as pirates seek treasure chests and princesses have them in their rooms.

Thanks - I think I saw foam pirate chest kits at Michael's. With coupons I could probably get them cheap.

[HollyTyler]

We spent 10 days on the Cook Islands (http://www.aitutakitourism.com/), then moved on to New Zealand (Auckland, Rotorua, Napier, and now Wellington).

The adventure continues.

Woody
Wonderful! :goodvibes Are you flying or cruising?

[HollyTyler]

Do you remember how cold it was on deck at night when we got to the Pacific? Those were warm nights in comparison.

Put it this way: Make sure your sleeping bags are rated for temps below 0. And yes I am talking about July and August.

For the record it is noon here and the temp is only 50*F. Monday is supposed to be sunny so it will reach a high of 62*F - but a low of 35*F
Wow! You probably never need to buy shorts, do you?

[HollyTyler]

I am home from work.

I also arrived at a decision today (primarily because my boss told me I was being a jerk ... I'm taking Tuesday off from work! I was supposed to go in for 1 day after Labor Day, and then be out as of Wednesday when we leave for California.

So, I don't go back to work until September 10th.

It took my friend several trips to WDW to get me to ride this. I finally did it and LOVED it....rode it again about three more times in a row. We made a special trip to Anaheim for it's official opening weekend at DCA.

Well, we did get out of work early...but I didn't leave. I've been DISing, of course! Time to head out and hit the grocery store. Got lots to do this weekend...chores of course, but pedicure and hair color and some clothes shopping too. And THREE mornings to sleep in! :cool1:

Catch ya later kids......

[HollyTyler]

Wow, one of my neighbors, one I don't see often, just rang my doorbell and asked what's Tyler's favorite superhero. I told her he hasn't yet become interested in superheros because he's stuck on firefighters! She just said, "Oh, OK....that's good info to know." :confused3 She asked me what grade he's going in to and I told her first. She was surprised and told he she thought he'd be going into 2nd or 3rd because he's tall! I don't think he's any taller than kids his age, but we do hear that a lot. Strange conversation though. And then she left. :confused3

Yep you've got it in a nutshell.

Photobucket might have jsut been having server issues. Also, you might have caught them in a server backup or upgrade which caused the issues as you might have just been working on a back up server.

[MouseFaninQueue]

Wow! You probably never need to buy shorts, do you?

I live in shorts. WEaring them right now in fact with the windows open. I try and wear shorts as often as I can regardless of the weather. However, when I go outside I might change into some pants..... LOL

Yup he lives in shorts (looks good too!) We do actually get some warm weather in spring and summer. First weekend in Aug was a nice 90F! At least for day 2 of our camping trip. First night and morning it was cool, but then it warmed up and was perfect.:thumbsup2

When do you want to come up here?

[JLSE50]

I think I can only do a transatlantic on a "real" ocean liner - just going on the pics from the TA cruises last year there really would be no point in my going. I'd be so :sick: that you guys would never see me :lmao:

What is a real ocean liner? :confused3

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

Hi everyone! I'm home now and have been skipping and hopping around the thread trying to find where I left off....and it's page 7!:scared1: I'm going to have to get Jackie to fill me in on the last 140 pages!:lmao:

So I see SOME PEOPLE now have tags....well aren't you just *special*???? Even a ~scrolling~ tag! What does it take to get one of those???? I just saw Gayleen's and Nan's; maybe there's more. Congrats, you guys!

I had a nice trip to FL. Good learning experience--even though the weather was fine, the diving wasn't very good. It was too rough to go out until Sat. and even then the visibility was not great. But it was good enough to see the fish (20-30 ft.) and it felt wonderful to be diving again. We had fun in Key West; went on a sunset cruise on Tues. night that we really enjoyed (never done that before). Ken, I was going wild with my camera! I really had fun taking tons of pictures.

I think I'm going to have to call it a night--I think I'm still on EDT (ug!). I woke up at 5 a.m. this morning!

BTW, I was down in Scottsdale last night when that huge storm hit. I don't think Scottsdale got the heavy winds that central Phoenix had, but it was wild! I've lived in AZ my entire life and I've never seen so much lighting in a single storm! Fortunately no hail damage to my car BUT I've got a 20" crack in my windshield! :confused: I discovered this Thursday morning before the storm!:confused: I'm having very bad car juju lately!

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone at DL! It's just around the corner. By the time I get my laundry done, it'll be time to pack again! Wheeeee!:banana: :banana: :banana:

[HollyTyler]

What is a real ocean liner? :confused3
One that's build specifically for the rougher sailings of the transatlantic crossings, such as the Cunard line.

[JLSE50]

I'll crochet you a scarf :thumbsup2

If we have a group going to Alaska together we could have DIS green scarves for the Thread members. If we found a standard yarn brand that had the right color, then no matter where the yarn was bought and who made them, they would match. Style could be variable--some knit and some crochet. People who could make their own could match those who needed to get a DIS-Thread-Buddy to make it for them. :thumbsup2



Gaylean--do you have any sweatshirts? sweatpants? sox? sneakers? :confused3
Sounds like an Alaskan Cruise wardrobe to me! You only need warm clothes for the outdoor times. You are not going to be hiking in the mountains. Just standing on a deck watching glaciers go by. How hard can that be? Put on layers as needed.

OK, now that we have that settled, let's go!

While we were doing our grocery shopping tonight, I brought up the subject of wedding songs.

Apparently, Sukie knew that there were such things as wedding songs, I did not (what can I say, I've lead a very sheltered existence).

We discussed it an have chosen our wedding song.

I had a lot of trouble finding a good version of it on line, so I have created my own video for it and have done my very first YouTube upload.

And so, without further ado, I now bring you, our wedding song:
