10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #19

[JLDSMD]

This is Thread #19 of the BOB threads.

If you're new to our group, you're not alone. Several of us have sailed together before (on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise - a.k.a. Konked Kruisers) and several more are new. To indicate the ones new to the group, we have put an * infront of their DIS name.

The following is the same as the other first posts. For those of you new to our DIS Meet thread - WELCOME. There is plenty of good info in this post.

As usual, I'll be back here to update this post periodically. I will try to keep important information up here for all to reference as well as for all our new friends who come to cruise with us. If something of importance comes up, PM me and I will add the link.

We have dubbed this cruise "The Bash on the Boat" because so many people are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries on this cruise. You will also see "KK2" in the title. As you will read, many of us just sailed together on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise. So, with many of us returning here, we are dubbing this KK2. For those of you who didn't sail with us, please don't feel that you are not part of the group. We are a very open and welcoming/friendly bunch. We had such a great cruise last time, but feel it will be even better this time. Come along and enjoy the fun. We will get off-topic many times over the next 2 years, but it is a great way to get to know everyone.

Incase anyone is wondering what the FO game we play here on the B.O.B. cruise meets thread, he is the explanation:

FO is a game (for lack of a better description) that was started on the Konked Kruiser thread that some of us belonged to for the October 07 cruise. Don't ask me who started it or how.

Anyway, the game in a nutshell....if you post, and your post is the beginning of a page, then you try to get the second post on the page also. It means you have started a "Fresh One" or "First One" (I forget what the actual term was).

Now, this isn't always as easy as it seems - if there are multiple posters on at the same time, and someone else gets the second post, you don't get to "claim the FO". The 40 second rule between postings comes into play.

I'm snagging Post #2 just in case we need an overflow page. Post #1 is starting to get long, so we may need to fall in to a second post with info.

But I will claim it as an FO though. :lmao:

Guess I should get the link over on 18 now. As I said, I thought I'd have some time.

I mean there is Shiner Light and then I have seen one called Shiner Heffewezen (or spelled somehow similar to that) but I have not tried that one. The fraternity's dog's tag is a Shiner cap, and his middle initial is B. This is Shiner B. Skull -

Good point, Walt! Mike - He's a little big, but he is just a puppy and he runs my son's 18 and 20 mile training jaunts with ease. He could be a good buddy for you both!!!

Hey Jeff, all this talk about bad service and not once did you bring up our asst. server. I'll never forget her debating with Suz over whether or not there was lemonade in the Palmer Suz ordered.:sad2:

Oh yeah, Sasha. She was the WORST server EVER on all the cruises we've been on. Even worse than the one we had once that was geting off the ship when we were (mind wasn't in it).

Not sure how Sasha made it on a team in the dining room. :sad2:

Didn't someone else have a problem with their drink that night as well?

You had her removed from Leslie before having him on the 5-nighter, right? Was she even in the dining room?

[cntkg1]

Ahem, "someone" forgot my bread crumbs. :guilty:



Night Kathy
Night Andy
Night JohnBoy

G'night Kathy! G'night everyone! G'night John-Boy!

Good night Mary Ellen. :wave:

Actually he beat you over here...Check page 1.:rotfl2:

[JLDSMD]

Not to be nosey, but were they sports injuries :confused3

Walt :cool1:

Walt, thought I'd answer this here since you might not see it on #18.

The knees were most likely related to sports as I'm sure the back was some how too. I was a triple jumper in high school (actually still have a school record - 26 year old one at that) and also played football. Anyhow, all those of the "hop" and the "step" on the pavement did me in. My ankles crack every so often when I walk, both knees are bad, and so on.

[cntkg1]

You could've told me I was in the wrong place. I'm taking back my Valentines present now. :snooty:

Sorry dear......

NOT! :rotfl:

Nope, it was clear. We don't do Valentine presents for each other. Maybe a dinner and movie, but that's it. :)

My brother was a track star and his injuries are showing now in xrays...He was a miler and jumper as well...:)

Although he played football, I was the STAR of the family..All DIstrict both ways and All State Honorable mention both ways, beaten out by a Doctor's son....:thumbsup2

I was lucky, only a broken thumb during my playing days...:thumbsup2

That first day she was in the buffet, after that never saw her the whole time we were there and mind you we were on the ship all day for 3 days straight.

Oh Walt - You and Mack can be good football buddies and trade stories on the cruise. He was All Conference, All Area, and All East and recruited by UNC, USAFA, and ECU.

And now I am off to bed for real - had a student chatting with me on Facebook, so I popped over here one more time.

[captchris]

Is everyone leaving???:confused3 My phone isn't chirping with notices telling me I have new posts.

Impressive. Was that down in TX? There's some really good programs down there.

I never did much in football. Started, but that's it.

My track career was virtually over right before the season started my Junior year. I really did a number on my ankle in gym class about 2 weeks before the season. My leg was black/blue/green I wrecked it so bad. Couldn't jump the same again. My sophmore year I took 2nd in my conference (which was one of the best in the state). My jump was in the top 12 in the entire state. Problem was we had two guys older than me that were even better than I was. Only 2 could go to Regionals, so I sat out.

I did have a brush with fame though jumping my freshman year. Kenny Harrison went to school at a high school in our conference. He was a senior when I was a freshman. I remember him laughing at me at the meet (I only jumped 38 feet that year). If you don't know who he is, he one at least one gold medal in the Olympics. The guy isn't that tall but has huge legs.

[JLDSMD]

Looks like everyone left, so I might as well log off as well.

Check back with y'all tomorrow.

Bummer on the injury...Louisiana Football...

I had one brush with fame my 8th grade year,(lettered varsity for 5 years) , tackle Holye Granger after being dragged 15 yards...Got to play after the other tackles were injured that night....No fear in my play.Yea, Granger had huge legs as well, people would come from all over to watch him play basketball, just to see his Thighs....:scared1:

So, Nancy G had a fabulous idea of adding links to the Stuff to Do page on the BOB site...

So, I've added a few links for you all, hopefully that helps some of you out with your planning :thumbsup2

Please let me know if there is anything I need to add to the list ;)

Thanks MG for your excellent :idea:

[Nerbiepie]

I say hi to everyone who is already in bed..lol

Glad we made it to the next thread :goodvibes

ummm.. well hugs to those who need them :hug:

Stay safe Robin and Mike :hug:

[B9erSteve]

Oops! I almost didn't make it! I was tired tonight and didn't feel much like logging on but did anyway. Glad I did!

[GOS]

Congrats guys...you made it. Thread #19 and already 4 pages long.

I gotta go back and read a bit. Laters.

[GOS]

Anyone else read that DCL is revamping their menus???

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2092677

About time too.

[GOS]

Cass, remember, don't link the tables until AFTER the online booking date. It won't let you book anything if "linked" people are in at the same time.

Just brought this over from #18 as a reminder to everyone that wants to link dining.

[GOS]

Hey Jeff, all this talk about bad service and not once did you bring up our asst. server. I'll never forget her debating with Suz over whether or not there was lemonade in the Palmer Suz ordered.:sad2:

Yes, I think she was the server from h*ll. I would also add that it you have a big table, then expect it to be slower than usual. Reading everyones comments from last night, you will be very lucky if you get served quickly. Leslie and Ronald (our Head Server) did their best for us, but some days it was very slow.

[GOS]

I'm logging off before someone wants a poem from me. Good night everyone. See you on thread #20. :goodvibes

Sorry I missed you last night Tuna. Glad to see that you're well again. Don't leave it so long to join in the fun. We expect weekly reports.

One last one for this morning - bit late as I missed last nights marathon.

Question of the Day....(a little late). (Thank you Heather).

Whats your favourite attraction outside Disney?

Think it's got to be Cheesecake Factory.:lmao:

[Karen Mouse]

Oh lordy!

I leave and come back to 25 pages to read!:scared1:

Nancy - thank you for my crumb trail.... it took me a while to hobble over here, but I made it:thumbsup2

I'm still catching up with last nights postings

[Karen Mouse]

For those who guesses it was ANDY on thequote you were correct. He was of course refering to his posting count.:thumbsup2

[Karen Mouse]

Dawg - frozen barf :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :lmao: :scared:

[Karen Mouse]

Jeff - me still likey that pirate:lovestruc - post him again for me:goodvibes

[Karen Mouse]

Heather - My tag list got so messy with everyone joining, moving cabins, leaving etc that I no longer have an up to date one.

I will be asking for everyones cabin numbers nearer the time as the cat 12's wont know til later which upgrade they have been given:thumbsup2

Its still a big list though:thumbsup2 - lots of fun and gifts:woohoo:

Fish extenders - Cant remember who asked (sorry!:flower3: ), but I believe someone on ebay makes fish extenders. Mine was a gift from a dear friend:hug: and I cant wait to use it:yay:

[Karen Mouse]

Dining - I sure hope they put us all in the same area like last time. I loved seeing everyone at dinner in all their finery. Is someone organising this so Disney know we're all linked?

Cass - I remember the first night - you were almost forced into the nut free zone with us:scared: Poor Jeff and family were angels and agreed to be "nut free for a week " with us:goodvibes

Its a shame you're on lates this time - I'll miss seeing seeing your princess: dressed as a pirate again:cutie:

Jeff - what is wrestling practice? - does your ds do wrestling as a sport? Sounds pretty dangerous!:eek:

[Karen Mouse]

Revamped menus - as long as they leave the grape and blue cheese pizza alone at Palos they can do anything they want to the rest of it:rotfl2:

Right now it is 5:30am and I've got to get a move on it to get to the gym, catch everyone later....:wave2:

[Karen Mouse]

Evening all. I'm home now. Wrenched my back though and can't move much. I was helping out after wrestling practice and was lifting one of the mats onto the cart. Totally lifted it wrong.

Ouch Jeff - :headache: - care to join the bad back club? - its quite exclusive you know;) :lmao:

[Karen Mouse]

Cass, who were your servers on the KK? Did you have Leesa and the Brit (can't remember her name right now)?

Jeff - "the Brit" was Laura - they made a great team didnt they:thumbsup2 - I really wish we could get them again. They were speedy, attentive and fun for the kids too. Heck they could even understand my accent so that was a double bonus:rotfl2:

I'll join this group. I have 2 herniated discs - one lumbar, one cervical and the cervical one is giving me a run for my money right now. I sit here with heat on it constantly. My bad knee is also acting up. My brain and heart feel way too young for any part of my body to feel this way. Get better Jeff and Karen, I hope you are feeling some relief.

Member 3:thumbsup2 - sorry to hear you have pain too:hug:

Ahhhh poor Tuna:hug:

You could've told me I was in the wrong place. I'm taking back my Valentines present now. :snooty:

I'm logging off before someone wants a poem from me. Good night everyone. See you on thread #20. :goodvibes

Hey now! - 3 more posts and I'm expecting big things from you;)

I'll start you off...

There was a young man called Mr T

[Karen Mouse]

So, Nancy G had a fabulous idea of adding links to the Stuff to Do page on the BOB site...

So, I've added a few links for you all, hopefully that helps some of you out with your planning :thumbsup2

Please let me know if there is anything I need to add to the list ;)

http://www.cassworld.ca/bob-stuff.htm

Thanks MG for your excellent :idea:

Great idea - me likey!:yay:

Yes, I think she was the server from h*ll. I would also add that it you have a big table, then expect it to be slower than usual. Reading everyones comments from last night, you will be very lucky if you get served quickly. Leslie and Ronald (our Head Server) did their best for us, but some days it was very slow.

This is my concern too - slow dining or worse still cold food while they get everyones served to them:rolleyes:

Never done this Nancy. Must try it. We used to eat quite a lot at Olive Garden, but haven't been there for years. I could choose Cheesecake Factory again, but that would be cheating. How about Friendly's.

[njprincess]

Us guys got to stick together. We have to look out for flying pancakes and other things.

We would NEVER throw at pancake at you Chris!!!! Cinnamike and the BSS are an entirely different story! :lmao:

Good morning everyone. It's good to see Karen somewhat up and about. It is nice that it is Friday. Today shouldn't be too crazy for me. I just have to wrap up some very lose ends on the grant I was applying for, and then work on my sermon for Sunday.
Question of the Day (via Heather again:hug: )



Where would you recommend eating outside Disney?

My answer: Nathan's at the Orlando airport. :rotfl:
Are you being sarcastic???:confused3 :lmao: We ate at the Nathan's after our 2005 WDW trip and it was quite good. It was a nice change from the burgers and chicken fingers we ate over the weekend at WDW.

I am always scared to death to buy airport food, especially from fast food/food courts. I have had very good and very bad. It is rarely in between.

We would NEVER throw at pancake at you Chris!!!! Cinnamike and the BSS are an entirely different story! :lmao:
Thats good to know! One less thing to watch for on the cruise.:lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2:

Bummer on the injury...Louisiana Football...

I had one brush with fame my 8th grade year,(lettered varsity for 5 years) , tackle Holye Granger after being dragged 15 yards...Got to play after the other tackles were injured that night....No fear in my play.Yea, Granger had huge legs as well, people would come from all over to watch him play basketball, just to see his Thighs....:scared1:

Walt :cool1:


Lettered 5 years? WOW. That is awesome.

Didn't know you could play in 8th grade. Up here, you're lucky if you play varsity football in 10th grade.

Not to self, don't cross Walt, he'll level you. :rotfl:

Oops! I almost didn't make it! I was tired tonight and didn't feel much like logging on but did anyway. Glad I did!

Just brought this over from #18 as a reminder to everyone that wants to link dining.

Yeah, because some got up before dawn when Becky and I were trying to do excursions for the Repo and couldn't figure out why we couldn't log in. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:

We even have one of those here in Louisville. It is on the river and is a nice place to go in the summer.

Good morning everybody.
Just got in from cleaning up another 3 inches of snow that fell last night:guilty::guilty:..
As I said last night Nancy and I are headed for Bangor to watch our grandson in the State PEWEE tournament. They finished 3rd out of 8 teams in his group which are 2nd year Pewee.
We head out after lunch and will be back Sunday.
Everybody have a great weekend

Dining - I sure hope they put us all in the same area like last time. I loved seeing everyone at dinner in all their finery. Is someone organising this so Disney know we're all linked?

Cass - I remember the first night - you were almost forced into the nut free zone with us:scared: Poor Jeff and family were angels and agreed to be "nut free for a week " with us:goodvibes

Its a shame you're on lates this time - I'll miss seeing seeing your princess: dressed as a pirate again:cutie:


Nut free in the food sense, not in the human characteristic sense. :lmao:

[goslingl]

Jeff - what is wrestling practice? - does your ds do wrestling as a sport? Sounds pretty dangerous!:eek:

My DS is the assistant wrestling coach for his old high school. It is a great sport. I had no idea what it was until his freshman year of high school and he join the team. At first if he was in an awkward position I wanted to smack his appoinent but by his senior year I really got into it. :banana:

[disgrits]

Can I get an FO on the new thread?

[JLDSMD]

Jeff - what is wrestling practice? - does your ds do wrestling as a sport? Sounds pretty dangerous!:eek:


Yes, he is in wrestling. It is not what you see on TV with all the lights and theatrical performances, it is wrestling similar to what you'd see in the olympics.

My mom never would let me go out for it, but Suz and I are all for letting him do it. He really likes it and it is a displined sport.

[goslingl]

It was my DS favorite sport. He played soccer and basball to help stay in shape for wrestling. What weight class?

[captchris]

No sarcasm Chris. I love Nathan's hot dogs!!:love: (Just don't tell me what's in them). :scared1:
I am with you there. The last time we returned home from MCO, we had McDonalds. It was not good, but then again, I had a nasty cold I picked up the last few days on the Magic. I don't think a Filet would have tasted good to me!

[disgrits]

Softball starts next week here, and baseball shortly after that. Now, if only Spring were here, too! I'm sick of Winter. Even though we have not had lots of snow, I really don't like cold temps.

[JLDSMD]

Jeff - "the Brit" was Laura - they made a great team didnt they:thumbsup2 - I really wish we could get them again. They were speedy, attentive and fun for the kids too. Heck they could even understand my accent so that was a double bonus:rotfl2:

That's it, thanks Karen.

As good as Leesa and Laura were, you would love Leslie. He is Indian and would bring us different Indian dishes special from the kitchen. I was thinking of you when we had the Curry one night.

I may put a request in for our server this time (either Leslie or Leesa - if either is still on the ship) and not worry about the dining time. We've been on enough that it doesn't matter where we are on what night, I'd rather have an excellent dining team.

[disgrits]

Well, I've got to get going....y'all have a great weekend.:goodvibes

[JLDSMD]

You sound like Karen when you say that. It was funny listening to her on the KK when we'd get shrimp:

"Ewww...bodies" :rotfl:

She won't touch those things.

[JLDSMD]

Hi everyone! I hope I haven't missed anything important. Thanks for the breadcrumbs, Sistah Goose!:hug:


Hi Paige, glad to see you found us.

[JLDSMD]

You are right Karen! It was Bernie back just one thread. Your turn.:goodvibes


Maybe if I would have read further, I would have not posted an incorrect answer (or an answer at all). :rolleyes1

[JLDSMD]

It was my DS favorite sport. He played soccer and basball to help stay in shape for wrestling. What weight class?

He's only in 3rd grade, so no weight class yet - they don't go that low. :rotfl:

My son is skinny. He weighs about 63 pounds (52" tall). They don't have many kids on the team (private school), so he usually ends up wrestling kids younger than him due to his weight. They start in Kindergarten. Every once and a while the coach will put him with heavier kids which I think is good. It allows him to wrestle kids with more experience.

First matches are in March. Don't think we'll do the one on the 7th, but he'll be at the next 2. He didn't want to do the tournaments last year (his first year). They have the option if they want to wrestle in their school.

[JLDSMD]

Softball starts next week here, and baseball shortly after that. Now, if only Spring were here, too! I'm sick of Winter. Even though we have not had lots of snow, I really don't like cold temps.


His baseball doesn't start until the end of April. Up here, you never know when it's going to warm up. We're expecting 3"-6" of snow tomorrow morning.

Besides wrestling and baseball, DS is in football (but says he doesn't want to do tackle in a couple years - so not sure what fall sport he'll pick. Maybe cross country - he's a good runner) and he likes basketball (although we didn't sign him up this year - didn't like the league anymore. He can do it at school in 4th grade though).

I was thinking of looking into swimming for him. He really likes that too. Not sure if the Y would have anything organized for that.

I don't care what sports he goes into, just as long as he does a couple. I don't want him sitting on his A around the house. Plus, I think being part of a team is good.

Wow that is great to be able to start so young. Ryan was 135 and 140 weight class in high school. He was always skinny and little. He is loving the coaching side of the sport too. He will graduate with an accounting degree this year and I am afraid once he starts working a real job he will not have time to coach. Tax season is the reason I did not stay in public accounting and start in the retirement servcies business.

[JLDSMD]

Well, I've got to get going....y'all have a great weekend.:goodvibes

Bye Paige. Sorry I didn't get to chat with you longer today.

[JLDSMD]

Tax season is the reason I did not stay in public accounting and start in the retirement servcies business.

135 and 140 would be where I would have wrestled if my mom let me go out. I was 5' 10" in HS, so I would have been big in that weight class. But I wasn't an unhealthy skinny, just in shape - oh the good 'ol days. I don't think they have a weight class for me now - may "over", as in over-weight. :rotfl2:

Just don't have him go into Public Accounting or have him go into the Audit side. My busy time is actually end of July, beginning of August. Our year-end is June 30th. It is nice to just pick up and go somewhere in winter.

[JLDSMD]

Well, it looks like I'm caught up. Think I'll go lay down now. I took the day off because I can't sit too much today. My back is better than it was last night, but still bad. Hope I survive the kids tonight. Not looking forward to the snow tomorrow though. Good thing we have a snowblower. Although, I think four 9 years olds could clear the drive way pretty quickly, don't you? :rotfl2:

We have one and we love it there. Coconut shrimp is my fav!!

We even have one of those here in Louisville. It is on the river and is a nice place to go in the summer.

Oh, good - we can go there for dinner when we come to visit (Churchill Downs, Maker's Mark and the Louisville Slugger factory too please) :cutie:

No sarcasm Chris. I love Nathan's hot dogs!!:love: ([B]Just don't tell me what's in them). :scared1:

Not to worry Nancy - they are made with love in Coney Island and they contain many delicious and nutritious ingredients.

"It gained its first international exposure when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt served Nathan’s Famous hot dogs to the King and Queen of England in 1939. Later, Roosevelt had Nathan’s hot dogs sent to Yalta when he met with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin.

You obviously have very good taste! And remember, food consumed on vacation doesn't contain any calories!

[captchris]

Well, I think I got that blasted grant finished! I just had to add a few things regarding evaluation methods etc. I just have to wait to hear from the finance department now as to how my budget looks. I haven't heard anything yet, so that is a good thing.

[njprincess]

Here you guys are....I was in shock! I am a lurker, nothing more and nothing less. I kept looking in on thread # 18 and was quite taken back when all traffic seemed to stop last night.

[Karen Mouse]

Nut free in the food sense, not in the human characteristic sense. :lmao:

Erm.... :rolleyes1 .. only kidding - We loved dining with you last time:thumbsup2

My DS is the assistant wrestling coach for his old high school. It is a great sport. I had no idea what it was until his freshman year of high school and he join the team. At first if he was in an awkward position I wanted to smack his appoinent but by his senior year I really got into it. :banana:

I'm not sure I'd be able to watch - I'd be jumping in and smacking any kid who tried to wrestle Ellis:rolleyes1 :lmao:

Yes, he is in wrestling. It is not what you see on TV with all the lights and theatrical performances, it is wrestling similar to what you'd see in the olympics.

My mom never would let me go out for it, but Suz and I are all for letting him do it. He really likes it and it is a displined sport.

Good for him! Sounds interesting:thumbsup2 ... it would be fun getting him and Ellis together onboard - one will be wrestling and the other karating:lmao:

That's it, thanks Karen.

As good as Leesa and Laura were, you would love Leslie. He is Indian and would bring us different Indian dishes special from the kitchen. I was thinking of you when we had the Curry one night.

I may put a request in for our server this time (either Leslie or Leesa - if either is still on the ship) and not worry about the dining time. We've been on enough that it doesn't matter where we are on what night, I'd rather have an excellent dining team.

Leslie sounds good too:thumbsup2 - me likey curry:thumbsup2 ...I agree - a good dining team is definately more important than what time:thumbsup2

I'm guessing Heather.

WRONG!:rotfl2: I already got it:p

You sound like Karen when you say that. It was funny listening to her on the KK when we'd get shrimp:

"Ewww...bodies" :rotfl:

She won't touch those things.

Eeeewwwwww:scared: ... bodies:scared: .... disgusting:scared: .. you'll all be eating eyeballs next:scared:

Maybe if I would have read further, I would have not posted an incorrect answer (or an answer at all).

:rotfl2:


My son is skinny. He weighs about 63 pounds (52" tall). Every once and a while the coach will put him with heavier kids which I think is good.

They are so alike... Ellis is still skinny too

Its good he gets a chance with heavier kids.. when Ellis spars with much higher belts he tries much harder than when he's sparring someone of his own level. I'm pleased he's now in the intermediate 2 hour class with kids of 5 belts higher than him. They do the exact same lesson so its pushing them to learn much quicker:thumbsup2

Hi there! - well done for coming out of "lurk mode" and joining us:goodvibes :thumbsup2

It gets easier the more you do it;)

It actually becomes quite addictive:rotfl2:

Sorry to hear you've got snow - stay safe

ps - not sure if you're aware you're heading for a milestone soon - look at your post count...

I dont want to scare you any further.... but....its customary around here for a little poem at each milestone;)

[Karen Mouse]

Neils just got home:banana:

He's taking Ellis to the park on his bike:banana:

I dont feel so guilty now... at least he's got out for a while today:banana:

[Karen Mouse]

Just getting Ellis Ben 10 Alien force, Bolt and a few other ds games downloaded while he's out - at least he'll have something to do tomorrow:lmao:

[captchris]

He's only in 3rd grade, so no weight class yet - they don't go that low. :rotfl:

My son is skinny. He weighs about 63 pounds (52" tall). They don't have many kids on the team (private school), so he usually ends up wrestling kids younger than him due to his weight. They start in Kindergarten. Every once and a while the coach will put him with heavier kids which I think is good. It allows him to wrestle kids with more experience.

First matches are in March. Don't think we'll do the one on the 7th, but he'll be at the next 2. He didn't want to do the tournaments last year (his first year). They have the option if they want to wrestle in their school.

They are so alike... Ellis is still skinny too

Its good he gets a chance with heavier kids.. when Ellis spars with much higher belts he tries much harder than when he's sparring someone of his own level. I'm pleased he's now in the intermediate 2 hour class with kids of 5 belts higher than him. They do the exact same lesson so its pushing them to learn much quicker:thumbsup2
My daughter is the same age and she is really tiny. She is just 42 lbs and just turned 9, but she is short too. She is an athlete though. She can run, jump, tumble, etc. One day, she told me to take her training wheels off her bike. I was hesitant but she was adamant. I took them off and she rode like she had been riding her whole life. I think that was before our 2006 cruise so she was pretty young. She and I were going to ride the bikes at CC, but never got around to it.

[captchris]

Let me claim a FO for my tiny daughter!

[QUOTE=cntkg1;30390813]Question of the Day (via Heather again:hug: )



Where would you recommend eating outside Disney?

Bahamas Breeze for me!!

[goslingl]

135 and 140 would be where I would have wrestled if my mom let me go out. I was 5' 10" in HS, so I would have been big in that weight class. But I wasn't an unhealthy skinny, just in shape - oh the good 'ol days. I don't think they have a weight class for me now - may "over", as in over-weight. :rotfl2:

Just don't have him go into Public Accounting or have him go into the Audit side. My busy time is actually end of July, beginning of August. Our year-end is June 30th. It is nice to just pick up and go somewhere in winter.

I worked for a big six after college in tax and could not handle tax season after Ryan was born. I have tried to convince him to do something other than public accounting. He really is interested in auditing for ATF or FBI. :scared1: This scares me but he has to do what makes him happy.

[medicalman]

[QUOTE=Karen Mouse;30391278]Member 5:thumbsup2 - welcome



...

We love Bahama Breeze, cheesecake factory,.. Ellis's would probably be IHOP:lmao:, Neils would be anywhere that did good ribs or steak.



Snap Karen, great minds think alike, Olivias loves the pizza there. Sean loves the steak houses in I Drive, the bigger the steak the better:thumbsup2

Good morning everybody.
Just got in from cleaning up another 3 inches of snow that fell last night:guilty::guilty:..
As I said last night Nancy and I are headed for Bangor to watch our grandson in the State PEWEE tournament. They finished 3rd out of 8 teams in his group which are 2nd year Pewee.
We head out after lunch and will be back Sunday.
Everybody have a great weekend

[goslingl]

Everyone in my family LOVES shrimp except me. My parents are pretty sure they took the wrong baby home from the hospital!

My family is just the opposite I love shrimp but no one else does. It may be becuase they are allergic to shell fish and I am not. ;) Maybe we got switched at birth.

[medicalman]

Well, I'm doing well on the housework today..

I got a load of laundry done - (Ellis bent down and loaded it in for me:thumbsup2)

I've cleaned the kitchen and tidied the downstairs.

Next I'm going to tackle a bit of ironing:sad2:

Take it easy there Karen!:thumbsup2

Billable hours(shudder) Those are the most stressful words.:scared1: I am so glad I do not have to do that anymore. It is great experience. Has he done any Form 5500 audits? It used to be that low man got those lovley audits.:rotfl:

[goslingl]

Oh well I guess the accounting talk put everyone to sleep.:lmao:

[Timon]

Dining - I sure hope they put us all in the same area like last time. I loved seeing everyone at dinner in all their finery. Is someone organising this so Disney know we're all linked?

Cass - I remember the first night - you were almost forced into the nut free zone with us:scared: Poor Jeff and family were angels and agreed to be "nut free for a week " with us:goodvibes


I'm sure Jeff will help you all with the linking ;)

The weird thing about the problems we had that first night is that Rob and his sister were placed at different tables than us. I think Rob's card said he was at your table and his sister was at Lori's table :confused3 :confused: But the rest of us were at our table, #9. LOL!

I could do the nut-free thing every night except for Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pie night ;)

robin also had back surgery and thats some scary stuff.


OH MY! - MEMBER 4 :hug:

Can I join the club?? My L5 is fused to my sacrum and I have some disc degeneration. In the past 2 years, I've started to look like a hunchback after sitting for more than an hour :scared: It's kinda scary thinking I am only 36...what will I be like in 10 years :scared1:

Wow! - finally got caught up on the old thread:thumbsup2

Theres a lot of you on late dining:sad1: - cant we persuade you all to switch to earlies and we can all take over the entire restaurant:woohoo:

That would be awesome!!!!!! However, there's NO WAY I am missing another sunset!!!! :mad: :headache: We had to do early seating last cruise (first time ever!) because of Rob's family and we missed every single sunset :mad: I will never do that again!!

[Verandah Man]

Softball starts next week here, and baseball shortly after that. Now, if only Spring were here, too! I'm sick of Winter. Even though we have not had lots of snow, I really don't like cold temps.



I'm with you there Paige......;)

Just got in for lunch after spending three hours walking around in windchill temps of 10-15 above zero. My lungs are actually burning right now.

[Timon]

I've updated the dining page with a few more names for linking. I've also added a few notes at the top.

Just wanted to mention it here too....

Remember that if you are linked with someone, you will all have the same rotation, so if you have a desired rotation like APL (earliest of the three) and you request that rotation with DCL, everyone will be on that rotation. :thumbsup2

Is this the one you like Karen? :rotfl2:

I get to stay home with dd and dog and get caught up around the house:laundy: Maybe I'll even get to take my Christmas tree down - something I maybe should have been doing instead of reading all of the posts - this is very addictive!!!

I have a friend I grew up with that has an MS in Tax and he left Public. He is now working as the tax manager for a large law firm here. He just didn't want the long hours any more.

Your son should also look at the CIA. They're hiring too. A lot of those Gov't agencies like to hire Accountants, Lawyers and Engineers because of their thought process.

It may be a good career move seeing that Fed Gov't jobs will be the only safe ones. :sad2:

[GOS]

Yeah, because some got up before dawn when Becky and I were trying to do excursions for the Repo and couldn't figure out why we couldn't log in. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: And that was after only 1 hrs sleep.

55 hours a week, getting off light. :rotfl:

Are they making him help out the Tax people?

[GOS]

I'm guessing Heather.

Nope not me, it was Bernie.

[JLDSMD]

Billable hours(shudder) Those are the most stressful words.:scared1: I am so glad I do not have to do that anymore. It is great experience. Has he done any Form 5500 audits? It used to be that low man got those lovley audits.:rotfl:


I HATE From 5500. I made sure that the company doing our FSA and 401K also would be doing those for us. That is a nasty form.

[GOS]

Well, it looks like I'm caught up. Think I'll go lay down now. I took the day off because I can't sit too much today. My back is better than it was last night, but still bad. Hope I survive the kids tonight. Not looking forward to the snow tomorrow though. Good thing we have a snowblower. Although, I think four 9 years olds could clear the drive way pretty quickly, don't you? :rotfl2:

Hope you're felling better later.

[JLDSMD]

Oh well I guess the accounting talk put everyone to sleep.:lmao:

Except the accountants. :lmao:

So, how many "strange" groups do we have now on this thread. We had the "scarred", the "left-handers", then the "bad backs", and now the "accountants". Not sure if the "non-touching food" is a group. Is it only Lori and Mike in that one?

What's next, the tattoo or piercing (other than ears) group? I for one am not in either of those.

We're already linked together. First thing I did when we booked. :thumbsup2

Since I will probably help her out with the excursion bookings, being linked, I will have access to her ressie and can do it for her. :thumbsup2

Now we just have to decide if we want the good rotation for an Eastern or a specific serving team. Would be nice to get both.

[JLDSMD]

Hey, how about an FO?

[GOS]

Snap Karen, great minds think alike, Olivias loves the pizza there. Sean loves the steak houses in I Drive, the bigger the steak the better:thumbsup2

Ok...where's the nearest Bahama Breeze to WDW? Looks like we've gotta try it.

[GOS]

Its 45 miles away, but how about Grills?!?!?!

I like Grills...perhaps we aught to do an early morning breakfast.

[JLDSMD]

:scared1: Oh my goodness. Please tell me that this is not one of you!!! :eek: I'm thinking about jumping ship if it is.


Yep, that's me, in the flesh (literally). :lmao:

No, that is Sacha Baron Cohen, a.k.a. Borat. It was a running joke on our last cruise meets thread. He is wearing the official DIS Lime Green though. :rotfl2:

Question of the Day (via Heather again:hug: )

Where would you recommend eating outside Disney?


There are places to eat outside of Disney?
I guess it would have been this little restaurant in New Smyrna. It was owned by one of my teacher's family, and it was great. Just your typical mom and pop hamburger shop, but it was very good, and free!:thumbsup2 They were great people from Greece.

Yeah, because some got up before dawn when Becky and I were trying to do excursions for the Repo and couldn't figure out why we couldn't log in. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:
:headache:

That's it, thanks Karen.

As good as Leesa and Laura were, you would love Leslie. He is Indian and would bring us different Indian dishes special from the kitchen. I was thinking of you when we had the Curry one night.

I may put a request in for our server this time (either Leslie or Leesa - if either is still on the ship) and not worry about the dining time. We've been on enough that it doesn't matter where we are on what night, I'd rather have an excellent dining team.
He was great, so was Ronald. Now on the 5 dayer Ron was in Palo's, so if you don't see him in the dining room, maybe check to get him in Palo's.

Cass...I think we will have to order our to take out.:thumbsup2 that way we won't miss out. As for sunsets, you can always do what Jeff, Sean and I did as we pulled away from Cartagena...we dashed out of Lumieres to take some stunning sunset pictures.

I qualify for the 'scarred' group too - a nearly 3" on my face and a 5" on my right arm.

Hey there everyone...I am home for the day after a busy morning. Thats a great sunset pic Heather. On nearly every cruise I have been on, I am usually in the dining room for sunset. On our first cruise, our table was right next to a window, so we were able to see some sunsets from our table. We weren't so fortunate on the Magic. Our table was in the middle of all three dining rooms.

Ok, I have a silly question...

If you had to eat just one item for a whole week what would it be?

Mine would be chocolate cheesecake with cream.

[Karen Mouse]

Ellis and Neil are playing wii:rolleyes:

They wont play Mario karts with me because I'm too rubbish:lmao:

I whoop their @$$ at boxing though;)

So does anyone know if/how we can find out if a particular server is available?:confused3

It would be lovely to get one we know is good:thumbsup2

Plus I already have enough OBC to pay for their tips:lmao:

I did some checking and it seems that you CAN request a particular server. You just have to get your TA to make a request on your reservation.

I don't know how you would find out who is available, but keep in mind that most of them sign 6 month contracts with DCL, so some do 6 on 6 off.

Good luck :thumbsup2

I HATE From 5500. I made sure that the company doing our FSA and 401K also would be doing those for us. That is a nasty form.

Anyone who has done a FOrm 5500 and the audit feels the same way. :thumbsup2

Who's up next? Is it Chris? Your posts don't make sense - too many drugs (or wine) I think Karen. :rotfl2:

[Timon]

Karen,

On the last cruise, I told myself I would do just that...run out and take a pic of the sunset but I was sooo busy with Kira and dealing with our crap servers I never made it outside once :sad2:

This is the only sunset I got on film from our table, it was taken through the windows at Lumieres :rolleyes:

The night for the chocolate peanut butter pie is your first night in Animator's Palate, so depending on your rotation, it will be either the first, second or third night. If you ask Jeff which rotation he requested, then you will know for sure :thumbsup2

Yeah, I have to scour the threads for a quote.

Yes, Chris is looking for our next quote:thumbsup2, but you can do a quote too - the more the merrier! No wine for me yet tonight.... but it wont be long;) , although I do need some more painkillers so I might jsut get a glass to "wash my painkillers down";)

I love that one! - the brightly coloured wheels really pop in the foreground:thumbsup2

I must confess that the mornig of Castaway Cay was a little difficult:rolleyes1
Ellis was having a tantrum over eating brekkie in the room so we were in a hurry that morning so all I took were mostly character photos... I intended to take more on the way back, but I got chatting and forgot:rolleyes1

My aim is to take much better castaway photos next time:thumbsup2

I didn't take too many at CC. I was in the water too much! I had to literally make a conscious effort to take a few pictures. There was nothing spontaneous.

I had it, but then gave it to Andy. He gave it up, so not sure who has it now.

I'm over in 5022 this time. I had 5522 the first time I ever had a SPH. It was on the Wonder. I had 5022 before on the Magic. Never been in the 5X20 or 5X24 rooms. I'm interested in seeing the 5X20 rooms though - should be the same minus the steamer trunk.

My parents were in 5520 last time. The view was good, location was great. I have read that there was noise due to the service area across the hall, but it didn't bother me at all.

Karen, I can't remember, did you guys do the scavenger hunt on CC last time? We did it on our Jan '07 cruise. It was fun. Something different to do.

I wanted to do the bike ride the last time, but that didn't happen. Maybe next time - or not.
