Hey Bob,
I was wondering the same thing as Shell,
Who are the big blabbermouths?? :confused3

Before you answer i suggest you give it some deep thought, because remember less than 2 months and you will be face to face with the people on this board!!!
ye might be walking the plank pirate:

Kathy :wave:
There is another thread on the cruise meets that will post nonsense just to stay at the top of the Cruise Meets thread. The title is "06/??/08-Do Over "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" the chatting never stops". As of my writing this, they have 50,605 posts. So, I doubt if we will ever catch them! The group has been on 2 cruises together, I think.

Unlike Shell, I would never accuse anyone on this thread of being a blabbermouth. I am a southern gentleman.

This is my dog Max. She is doing well lately. Although today she is not happy about being outside while the painters are here. Her tumor got very small for a while and now it is growing again. We still have no idea how long she will be with us, but are happy for every day we get.

These are my 3 babies at Downtown Disney last December. We took a last minute trip down the week we were supposed to have been cruising. We really had a great time.

Well since everyone did so well to reach our goal, :cool1: I guess you all deserve a break for a couple hours so you can get some work done.

But after that, we need to get right back to it. :yay: :surfweb: I hope more pictures will be posted, that was really nice to see. :3dglasses

Hopefully Pat will get her GKD's pictures posted soon, Lynn you have a few more pictures to share too. Let's keep'em coming everyone :woohoo:

That was the thread, Tiggerking! I would NEVER accuse anyone of being a blabbermouth!

I'm loving the photos of dogs almost as much as the photos of kids :-)

Work is boring today. All I've done is wash dishes and go to the stock room and wash MORE dishes (crucibles). Then, guess what I get to do after lunch? BIngo! Washe even more dishes! Oh the exciting, romantic life of a researcher. (NOT)

Your son looks bigger than Laura, she's 7 months now. I think she's going to be like her mom-tall and lean. Now Cullen - that's a different story. You should have seen him when he was a baby - You couldn't see his eyes because his cheeks were in the way! :goodvibes

Just a reminder for all - October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, please show your support and wear the pink ribbons. Thanks. I thought I'd get that out now while it is on my mind ;)

Don't know if we will be getting the t-shirts :sad2: Everyone wants to use the money while on the trip. I'm still trying to work on them :rolleyes1 They all know you'll know who we are when you see us. We travel in herds! Or, we'll be the only ones without the shirts :rotfl2:
Kathy, I'm right there with you and the loud mouth. I'm always the one who is picked to yell for someone. Everyone keeps asking me why I'm yelling. So I'll just yell out names and you'll know it's us ;)

DH and I won Match your Mate on our last cruise!!
He competed in the battle of the bands, but that one is RIGGED!
and he did a pirate dance at the pirate deck party, but there was another guy who did a bunch of break dance moves so he got the LOUDEST votes.
Too fun.

we are already 25 past the 3000 mark. Guess we are getting a good start on tomarrow's posts too. :wizard:

Lynn, love the apple pictures!! :teeth:

Pat did you figure out how to post pictures of the grandkids?? :confused3

would love to see them. ;)

well time to start dinner, DH will be home soon, Just watched Paula Deene make 3 pies, but better not make that for dinner. I have 3 pies in the freezer already that I made a few months ago that we need to use up first.

I will check back later, keep those pictures and posts coming.

I guess since nobody else will claim the title, Pat and I will have to be the Blabbermouths here, or at least the loudest mouths here. :rotfl2: We'll see once we get on the ship who is the loudest!!! :goodvibes

Pat tell your family that the t-shirts are souveniers and that not everyone will have one. They will be part of an elite few. (i.e. the ones that are too loud at dinner, the ones that win all the fun contests, etc.)

Good Luck. :banana:

I'm working on it! They just don't seem to understand what great exercise attire we would acquire :rotfl2:

Jamie, how was the show? I watched the video of their "concert" show on PBS a few weeks back. It was a lot of fun. They are coming to Atlanta soon, but I missed the opportunity to get tickets.

We love the BMG! We saw their Tubes show in NY and seeing them in a larger arena was a very different experience. The theatre in NY is very tiny and you interact with the Blue Men - you even get to see them in the lobby as you leave. My kids think they're the coolest. My son bought some PVC pipe so he could make music like the BMG. The kids even spray painted their hair blue for the show. Fun stuff!

The first one is Cullen. He's eating his lunch at my house. The next is Laura, I just finished giving her her bottle - can you tell! She loves to give some back to you. ;)
Forgive the size and no caption I haven't figured out how to do that part yet!
If they are too large for you let me know and I'll try to figure that out - Kathy, can you help me with that?

Well it's a nice crisp fall morning here in NY. Last night was a nightmare for me!! DH was stuck in traffic for 2 hours and DS decided to scream the whole time and plus he was cranky all day!! I think the minute I got into bed I was asleep!! Well Ds got alittle better with the sleeping ;) ;) !! Today I have to run to the bank and make a cake :cake: :cake: for my friend's house. We are going to my friend's house for dinner. Tomorrow DH is going to paint the hallway so me and DS are going to go X-Mas :santa: :santa: :santa: shopping with my Mom to get out of the house while he is painting. Sunday we are going to visit DS's great-grandmother. Anybody have any plans for the weekend???

Pat, great pictures of the GKs!

Happy Friday Everyone! It is a GOOD Friday here in Atlanta. Beautiful day on tap, and I am "working" from home today! ;) I finished up my current project yesterday and will be doing a couple of hours of clean-up work today, but at least I get to do it from home. Then, it will be time to go for a ride in the convertible!

Lisa and I teach a single adult Sunday School class and we are doing a photo scavenger hunt tomorrow afternoon. So, we have to go and find all the clue today and tonight. I will look for some while she is at work, and then we will go riding around tonight to find the rest.

Hope everyone has a great day!

They grow too fast, so keep taking the pictures because they will be graduating high school before you know it.
Hope my instructions wernt too hard to figure out, looks like you did it just fine. :goodvibes

Lindababe,
hope you feel better soon, I have had sinus headaches too, they can be really ROTTON!!! :sad2:

Tiggerking,
Have fun with the photo scavenger hunt. I love doing scavenger hunts, although I have never done a photo one. I'm sure it will be fun for all. :rotfl:

Wendy, I swear I'm going to put big, round glasses on Adam and call him "Ralphie" on the cruise :rotfl2: (re "A Christmas Story", the best Xmas movie ever made :cool1: )

So today I'm driving to work and saw a PERFECT rainbow ... end to end, very bright, and no breaks at the top. Incredible! Is that a sign of good luck??? :goodvibes

Well, I have no pics of babies or little ones except for the furry kind, so here's my contribution. I call this "Guido in Drag" (actually, it's just him with my hair drape over his head ... looks like Senor Wenches' little hand puppet, don'tcha think?! :rotfl2: And oh, how he loves when Mama does this crap to him ... just look at that expression! :lmao: )

I still have a copy of his picture with the pirate bandana that Bill sent to me once a long itme ago, he was just to cute to delete.

gotta go and take Minnie to the vet. It looks like she has another infection from her internal stitches.

Happy Friday,

Pat, your grandkids are adorable. I just wanted to let you know in case you were unsure. :rotfl2:

The stapler in jello is too funny. It does look like it was hard to clean.

Our foyer looks great. I wish we hadn't waited so long to have it painted. But it's done now and I'm happy. 2 more weeks and we get new carpet and Pergo floors in the entire house. That is going to be a fun week. :p

Today I must get bills paid. This weekend I hope to get some house cleaning done. (hope being the big word) My oldest is going to spend the entire day at Busch Gardens,we live 20 minutes away, with her Girl Scout Troop on Saturday. I think Kevin and I might take the other kids over for a couple of hours too. I also want to scrap a couple of pages.

Good weekend to everyone if I don't get back on.

Oooooooooh! We had a BMW once when we lived in Germany. That little sucker was FAST. We LOVED that car. Then we brought it home with us and had people leaving their cards on our windshield wanting to buy it. When it was 6 years old, some kid whacked us and totaled it. We were students at the time and living on GI retired pay, so there wasn't any money for another one. Now, we've moved on to another place. The old wide body is too wide for a Beemer's shaped seats.lol But it was sure fun while it lasted. Enjoy it, JD!

Furnace guy is finally here - glad I don't plan to 'make up' the time. Headache is still here too.

Has anyone been keeping count of the kids - like genders and ages and number?

Hi Everyone!

KATHY - thanks for the pixie dust yesterday :) My back is still bothering me but I went to the chiropractor today and he usually fixes me up pretty good. He's the only chiro I've ever heard of that says "I hope I don't have to see you again" - and he means it in the best of ways. He is not someone who expects you to be a patient for the rest of your life - that's hard to come by in the Northeast!

Everyone's kids and furry kids are soooo cute. I guess I'll have to figure out how to post pics of my two.

Tomorrow we are going to Lancaster, PA to a farm that has this amazing corn maze that they do every year. We love going - DH is a huge fan of corn mazes - it's the little things in life that make him happy. It's always a fun day for us when the four of us get COMPLETELY lost in a corn field and spend a couple of hours trying to find our way out. Can you say "quality family time???" :lmao:
Fortunately tomorrow night we get to unwind...the kiddos are going to my DS's karate school for a FREE Parent's survival night, so DH and I are going out to dinner :Pinkbounc

JEFF - good luck with the new car!

SHELL - eeeewwww! Thank goodness for the airline liquids ban. At least we know you won't be carrying jello to Orlando in Nov. :rotfl:

Have a great day everyone!

Thank you all for the kind words about my gk's. I know that people get tired of hearing me :chat: about them all the time and I promise not to push them on you too much :thumbsup2 Right now they are my life. I watch them for Stephen and Esther when they work. I forgot what it's like to talk to adults anymore! My back hurts, my legs can't move and I can hardly pick my butt up off the floor some days, but boy am I on :cloud9: when I see them come through the door :goodvibes

Tiggerking - Happy hunting tomorrow. I remember when our dd was in the youth group at church and they went on a scavenger hunt. She had the best time. Are you close to Charles Stanley's church? Just was wonderin.

Shell - Oh my gosh! I can't believe how much you and Stephen are going to get along. He loves the movie A Christmas Story. Last year they had a marathon on and guess who was glued to the :happytv:
Cullen and Laura both learned their eating habits from their dad. There are times when we go out to dinner together that I have to hold back from taking the napkin to his chin :rotfl: Just jokin Stephen!

Well, both babies are sleeping and I'm tired. Hoping to grab a peanut butter sandwich.

Kathy- you were very helpful with the instructions. Thanks so much. My dh will help me shrink the pictures down. I hope they didn't scare anyone when they popped up on your screen! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: (8, I think)

your a good man, letting Mina drive it when ever she wants to. I'm sure she got that in writing before you got permission to buy it! :rotfl2: We ladies will be asking her how many times she got to drive it on the cruise :lmao:

Lindababe, sorry your headache is still there. lay down and close your eyes for awhile pixiedust: to help it to get better soon. :goodvibes
Shell sent out a list with pictures of all of us, including kids. we are listed as family groups, but no spearate list of kids as far as I know. If you havnt received one of these lists, tell Shell and she will e-mail you one.

Kelly, glad to hear your getting better, backs are pretty painful sometimes. Been there, done that !!!

Well had to put Minnie on antibiotics again, so the fun begins getting them down her. Maybe it will be easier this time. ;)

Hey guys, it's Friday!
Cheer up 'yall. Not that you were angry.

I can't remember who wrote the part saying that they were near boomers (Sorry, I'm too lazy to check who it was), we live very close to there. Not more than five miles off. I love the Perkins that's near there. Too bad the manager went away. He was a good man. A couple of friends of mine work there.

I see we reached the 3000 mark. Way to go! I wanted to be the one to reach it, but so did everyone else I believe.

Here's a picture of my wallpaper on the computer I type on ( :surfweb: ):

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! party: party:

Wow! Lots of posts in a little over 24 hours! :thumbsup2 I spent much of the day shopping yesterday -- Kohl's, Target, groceries. :cool1:

Then we had a busy afternoon with repair people coming out for various projects.

The Office was pretty good. Especially when Jim unlocked Dwight's hotel room! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Shell -- great picture! :rotfl:

I also LOVE A Christmas Story!!!! Our family was hooked on it back in the early 80's when it first came out on video! Our tradition is to have the movie playing while we decorate the tree -- that's the signal that Christmas is approaching! :santa:

Everytime I see something labeled "fragile," my mind reads it as "fra-gee-lay" -- Hmmm, must be Italian!??????

The pictures of the kids, grandkids & dogs were awesome! Keep 'em coming! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc I especially love the Prince Charming story.

Better go take care of the hungry family! :stir: popcorn:: :drinking:

Talk to you later! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Carrie,
have fun at Busch gardens. Have you riden Shekra??? My DH ans GD love that ride, but I can hardly stand to even watch it, way too scary for me!!!

That don't have that one at the Virginia Busch Gardens. But even if they did, my family wouldn't be on it. We aren't roller coaster/fast ride people. I do go on a couple of tamer rides with my 13 yo but only for her. I just enjoy walking around the park, seeing shows, and letting the kids play. On occasion an ice cream or funnel cake. :yay:

Good News ya'll,
I did some shopping with my mom today and she told me that my dad really wanted to go on the cruise with us, would we mind :confused3
I was ummm no, you;ll love the guys from the boards. She feels like she already knows ya;ll from all the chatting I do. So now they are seriously considering coming along. :yay:
wendy

That's great news!!! They would have such a good time and we'd love to meet them. More :banana: :banana: :banana: are always needed!

An a similar note, I'm sad to report that the PG Four will now be the PG Three. DSS15 isn't coming along because of school (and possibly doesn't want to be away from DGF!). I called our TA and made it official today. :sad: :sad:

So, Wendy, if all the other cabins are sold out, we have room for one person in ours. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Josh,
once you have your pictures down loaded onto your computer, go to www.photobucket.com and start yourself a photo album there. It is a free service.
Once you've registered there just click the browse button and a box should appear with your computer files listed, click on your picture file, or folder, then select your picture by clicking on it, then click on the OPEN box at the bottom of the box. Then the box will disappear and you will see a box that says UPLOAD, click on it. It will take a few seconds, but then you should be able to scroll down and see your picture in your album. Do this to all the pictures you want tp post.

Ok now look under your picture and you will see 3 oblong boxes there with letters and numbers in them
Click on the bottom box to highlight it, then copy and paste to your post.
I dont know how to do more than one at a time, others could probably help you with that. I just do one at a time.

I hope this makes sense to you, it is hard to just remember it.
Just play around with it and I'm sure you'll be able to figure out anything I may of missed. :rolleyes1
Good luck!!!

Iwill be looking for pictures from you real soon,

Kathy :wave:

Sorry to hear you lost one, Cherie - and glad to hear we may gain one - especially if he's a 'geezer' - then Kathy and I won't be alone as the oldest ;-) Oh wait - somebody else was talkin about her grandkids too, who was that? If I go back a page to check, this will disappear. . . I've GOT to get organized! Today was almost a total loss, but I did take some notes . . . fish extender? . . . shoe bag . . . passporter tips? . . .

Good morning,

Lindababe you are bright and early for a saturday.
You beat me by almost 2 hours, of course I was up by 5 but just been doing other things first this morning.
We do have a couple other grandma's on this thread. But we wont ask which is the oldest, we all look young enough to be their mom's NOT grandma's!! And I will smack anyone over the head with my CANE that doesnt agree with me!!! :rotfl2: Or take my teeth out and bite them, that'll teach 'em to repect their elders!!!! :lmao:

well no real plans today. Gonna buy some red mulch for the flower beds sometime this weekend. Either this weekend or next we will go to Epcot to the food and wine festival. That is always fun and goes for a few weeks, so no big hurry to get there.

well I see the sun is coming up so I'd better get Minnie's medicine ready for her and DH some breakfast. :stir:

I will check back in later to see what's happening.

It is so cold here in PA this morning-I am sitting at the computer with a blanket wrapped around me :surfweb: --I can't wait for the warmth of the cruise islands :thumbsup2

Hey, has anyone heard if they are playing the second pirates of the carib. movie on the ship?? My DD and I saw it but Josh and DH haven't-I hope it plays on the big screen on deck 9-we loved that screen. My DH sat up on deck 10 the last time we were there and watched the incrediables all by himself-said he sat there and cracked up all alone-that is except some other guy that was there laughing too by himself--what a funny sight that must have been-2 grown men watching this movie alone and busting up :dance3:

My mom is getting out of the skilled nursing facility today after her course of IV antibiotics-she is so happy as is my stepfather who can't cook :stir: -he's been eating fast food per my mom!!

Have a great day all-going to old navy to buy DD some new jeans :woohoo:

Happy Weekend Banana Heads :banana: :banana: :banana: from cold, dreary Akron, Ohio ... where ALL the fun is (NOT)! :sad2:

Not much going on here ... it's ugly (as I mentioned) and so today I think I'll work on door signs (yes, I actually get to make a couple!) and it's a perfect day for making soup that we'll eat for dinner over the week. I'm starting with a Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup which is a staple in our house in the winter ... it's awesome! :goodvibes

Good pic, Josh.

Wendy, allow me to retort. In no way is Bill in the "doghouse" right now ... in fact, I keep telling him "YOU NEED TO POST!" but he says the cruise is just too far away yet and not coming fast enough! Kids ... :sad2:

I'm so excited that I will have fellow Christmas Story afficiandos with me on the cruise :happytv: ! It's a staple here. On Xmas Eve at 8 p.m., the TV goes to TBS and stays there for 24 hours (makes Bill cringe, which makes it all the more fun :rotfl2: ). Everytime I turn it on, there's my Ralphie, Randy, Schwartz and Flick! I also have it on DVD so I can watch it anytime, plus don't forget that they usually play it on Thanksgiving night, too (how sad that I know all this? :rotfl2: ) My favorite line: "But the bell rang!" (it has such an innocence to it that we can all identify with). Bill's line is "Not a finga!" Hmmm ... there's still a couple of months till Xmas ... maybe Bill would like homemade bunny jammies ... :lmao:

See ya! GO BUCKEYES!

Good afternoon everyone!

It's actually a nice sunny 69 degrees here -- I better go outside and "play" with the boxelder bugs! One thing I hate about :sunny: days in the fall -- the bugs that come out and swarm around the house. :furious:

We've had a rather busy morning so far. We got an early call from DH's sister saying that their ice cream shop was broken into and had a fire. DH got the insurance claim set up for them (he's the agent for their policy) and then headed over there to see what was salvagable.

I headed in the opposite direction since I had a trail race this morning. Found out that one of my running buddies is actually the husband of my third grade teacher!! :teacher: The funny thing was when I told him my maiden name and he instantly knew who my family was! :crazy: Guess we must've made quite an impression on his wife! :lmao:

Now everyone is napping (I just got up and have the house and, more importantly, the computer all to myself! :cool1: ).

Ahhhh, Christmas Story :santa: :love: . Can't think of my very favorite scene or lines -- there's the flag pole, the Scott Farkus affair (as it came to be known), the tire-changing, the visit to Santa, the Bumpus hounds, and the imfamous lamp! I may have to pop the movie in and watch it! :happytv: I think my dad would get a real kick (no pun intended) out of the leg lamp!

Suppose I better get some cleaning done before I hunker down to watch the Nebraska/Kansas game.

Denise, have a great time at the concert! :thumbsup2

Shell -- make some extra chicken tortilla soup and send it our way! :stir: My DD absolutely LOVES it! She orders it whenever we go out to eat!

56 days sounds so close! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: Josh, loved the Mickey picture ::MickeyMo !

Talk to you later!

Okay, since there has been some discussion about this movie, I have to tell you what Lisa found the other day. She received one of those catalogs where you order all the knick knack and As Seen on TV stuff in the mail. As she was looking through it, she found that they sell......A replica of the lamp that Ralphie's dad won! :rotfl: You can get a full size one, and even a night light sized one. I may just have to order one!

What is the name of that catalog? I would love to see the night light sized one :Pinkbounc Stephen would fall over :rotfl2:

Hi Pat! I'm oldern'Kathy too! But, collectively we ARE the grannies! I LOVE being 'a certain age' - I always had attitude, but now I get away with it. heheh.

Lynn, where in NY do you live that you had frost on the cars??? We didn't even get below 40!

Any Scrapbookers among us? My LSS is having an 18 hour "crop-for-the cure". I signed up because all the other fund raisers are runs, which I can't do. Now, I'm wondering how I'll stay awake for 18 hours (+travel time) and what the heck will keep me busy that long. Wish some of y'all lived closer!

Today, we went to the transfer station, bookstore, then while B. watched Notre Dame, I went grocery shopping, scrapbook store, Boscovs to pick up my dress (I don't love the skirt, but the top is very pretty) for formal night. Now, I think I'll go watch the inside of my eyelids.

Good Morning, All!

You must live in the mountains, then, Lynn! We live in Schenectady County now - whe we lived across the river in Rensselaer county we always got frost WAY earlier than down here. Even at only 410 feet elevation, it was zone 4. What do you have for scrapbook stores down that way? (I'm afraid ours is going to go out of business in the near future - the now sole owner is NOT a business woman)

I have piles started - a pile to ship to the world - a pile to ship to the ship - a pile to pack for the world - a pile to pack for the cruise and a pile to ship to Shirley for DH's gift basket. Still seeking ideas for a Man's gift basket - so far, I have paperback books, coronas, water cameras and nuts. Anything else?

Today, I'm going to the state museum and lunch with a gf. Not very exciting, but I like to try to keep in touch. Oh Cr*P! I have to leave in an hour! BYE

glad you enjoyed watching the ship. I missed it because we were watching the tape of our last cruise. :happytv:

I actually beat you up this morning, but didnt post, I was up at 3:50, didnt feel well, but i have no proof accept my yawns and blood shot eyes :rotfl:

Linda, I do a cross between scrap booking and a photo album of our cruises. I use the album with all our photos and papers from the cruise, but I decorate it up with scrap booking stuff to make it special. I have no idea what I am doing but it is fun, so I am happy with it. ;)

It is so nice to know I am not the OLDEST anymore!!!! :rotfl2:
But we wont mention it, I probably have more grey hairs or wrinkles or something, so we will keep all of this hush hush?? :blush:

We need to pick up the amounts of posts today because we fell a little short yesterday for what we need to do each day to make the 4000 posts.
Lets see mor epicutre you guys, I'll bet there are some good ones out there!!!

I will check back later to see what's happening, have a great morning everyone, :goodvibes

Well just finished breakfast and gave DS his cereal. DH is going to Sam's Club because it has been raining really hard since I got up at 4:30am. DH don't like when I go to Sam's Club because I can buy everything in that place!! One time he wrote the list because I was going on my day off and in BIG LETTERS on the bottom it said " ONLY BUY WHAT IS ON THE LIST LYNN!!"..
I just ordered the cutest X-mas wrapping paper from Current catalog. It's Elmo with a Santa. DS is going to love it :love: :love: :love: !! Well I am going to start my Beef Stew since DS just fall asleep on my lap!!

Just picked a bunch of red hot chili's, banana peppers (ironic, huh?) and habeneros from the garden. Very cool and damp this morning, but the skies are blue and at least we'll get some sun :sunny: .

Have a good day ... check in with you later. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Shell, my moms name is Diane dad is Joe. I will encourage her to post, but like her daughter she is shy so it may take awhile.
Thanks for the praise on my craft room I love it. Mike helped build the table and I stole ideas from crafting magazines. Now Shell about the marriage can I be a stay at home mom and craft all day, cause Mike won't let me do that, some nonsense about my shopping habits :confused3 men!!!

Thanks Josh for the compliment, do you craft also?

Woo, great pic could you ask Naveen what the heck is going on at that island? :rotfl2:

Bill good to hear from you again now keep posting we have a goal to meet.

Shell,
Is your friend going to stow away in your luggage ??
If you dont have enough room, I'm sure a few of us could help.
Several of we ladies could help entertain him when you are busy! :rotfl2:

Love the red dress, you are going to wear it on formal night to match Bill's red tennis shoes right?? :confused3
Hey that diet of yours must be working, better pass around the recipe :stir: for what you've been eating, it has worked wonders for your girlish figure :rolleyes1
I could use some of that kind of help. :thumbsup2

Bill, glad to see your back with us. I thought Shell must of locked you up in the dog house permantly!!!

Ok,
we now know your names, so MARGE and DIANE.
You two cant escape us now, so you'd better drop us a line just to say Howdy. I know your reading this, just lurky around at home. :surfweb:

I know we seem pretty like a pretty scary bunch of bananas at first, but be brave and introduce yourselves. Personally I dont bite, I can't. Greg is always hiding my teeth in the mornings, and my glasses so I cant find them. :rotfl2:

You need to get use to us now before we meet in person on the ship. We do have a cruise meet set for the first day at 3 p.m. in the Promenade lounge. :rolleyes:

we are even more :crazy: in person, so posting here will prepare you for that!!
No need to be shy, you'll only see us for 7 days out of your life, so speak right up.

all kidding aside I do hope you will both drop us a quick hello soon, I would love to get to know both of you.
we really are a friendly group here, :grouphug:

Shell: Love the picture!!

Just packed away all the summer stuff in the suitcase for the cruise :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 !! Got out all the winter stuff!! Yesterday, I got my new Crocs which are soooooo light to wear!! It don't feel like I am wearing a shoe!! I re-did my closet and I am drained because I been up since 4:30am with DS. Well I am going to lay down and take a nap. Talk to you guys when I get up!!

10-01-2006, 02:50 PM

Kathy, let's get something straight, shall we? If Naveen magically appears on the ship, there will be NO sharing! I suspect that in that event, Bill will never see the inside of the cabin that he has so diligently paid for :lmao: As far as the diet and the dress ... well, let's just say that after seeing myself in it, I decided that I was just WAY too skinny and needed to beef up a little. :lmao:

Hey Wendy? I have a present for you ... remember that last cruise when Brad Pitt was there with you and Austin?

Wendy - LOVE the craft room. Our two "extra" rooms are used to store junk in, well, one of them anyway. The other is Cullens play room. I would love to fix up one of the rooms like that. Maybe someday, when I'm old and gray-wait... :rolleyes: let's make that older.
Glad your parents are coming along. When we first talked about going on this trip I was concerned that we would feel out of place because we didn't have small children. Then I realized that we were the small children :rotfl2:

Woo- you are too funny :lmao: I want to know what he whispered in your ear to make you blush :blush: Or was it just the thought of being close to him that made your face glow. :lovestruc

I didn't get too much at Sam's. Just alot of water. Trying to lose a lot of weight, plus I have to wash down the pancakes I ate at Cracker Barrel, which just happens to be next door to Sam's. :goodvibes

Wendy, GREAT room! LOVE your ribbon storage. Wall space is so handy.

Shell, GREAT photo - you are GORGEous, Babe!

Pat, we not only don't have SMALL children with us, we won't have ANY children with us. But nobody's going to see their kids anyway, right? After they get going in the clubs. Except Lynn - hers is too little - Lynn, is he even old enough for Flounders?

Oh! Somebody asked about the basket - NOT bringing it self - ordering it from Shirley of the perfect gift. But i'm sending her a little stuff to put in it, and requesting the Corona's.

Shipping the formal clothes, though, and some other stuff that I don't want to mess with. I have enough to handle for the week+ that we're in WDW mostly in a villa, surprises for traveling companions, etc.

I need to go back and read the photo posting instructions - my craft area is the end of my kitchen - I designed it to use furniture we already had and dh executed it. I DREAD the thought of moving it to paint when we renovate the kitchen.

Nap time. Have a nice afternoon!

All you good cooks out there...anyone have a recipe for habenaro (?sp) salsa?
We had a recipe, but seemed to have misplaced it. Now all are peppers are ready and we cant seem to find one. We would greatley appreciate it...

Well we just got done cutting the lawn. Taking a break then I going to start getting dinner ready.

Jack, my dog, is on a tie out. We dont have a fenced yard, and since he only listens to the "come command" when it suits him, we keep him on this tie out. So we are finishing cutting the lawn, putting things away, the two dogs are behind me on the deck. I'm locking up the shed and I can see Jack coming down off the deck...he can only go so far....so I continue locking the shed...the next thing I know he walks past me, behind the shed like this is an every day accurance....crazy :crazy: dog, the tie out broke and he is just walking around... :teeth: he is such a goofy dog. I get worried as we have a corner lot, and I'm always worried he will run into the street...its a fairly busy street. Dogs...gotta love them.. :goodvibes

Hello All Nana Heads!!!

Welcome to Joe, Diane and Marge! Glad you're joining us. You will have to get a user name and post on our thread.

Oldest female DISer on this cruise -- may be me!!! I know I'm older than Kathy. But to all of us unique persons in their 5th decade of life: aren't we all young at heart???!!!!

We had two of our granddaughters for an overnight visit. Both told me this morning they wanted to live with their Silly Grandma forever. Just love them. They may get an extra present! My West Virginia grandkids call me Goofy Grandma. Now, what could I have done to make them give me these adjectives???!!!

We are off to dinner soon - heading to Bravo. Anyone else been there and like the restaurant?

Jeff -- my Spartans were pretty dismal yesterday, weren't they????

Glad we're at post 3000+ -- with no thanks to me. I was too busy at work on Friday to help out.

Hey everyone,
There are an awful lot of LOST references. Anyone else stoked that it starts back up on Wed? I watch ABC just to see if there are any new commercials to catch a glimpse of something that I haven't seen from one of the old commercials.
We went to MGM Sat. and Cullen saw the Muppet 3D movie, that was the funniest thing I have ever seen. He kept ducking and moving out of the way of all the stuff that came out of the screen, it was so funny. Then he would take his glasses off and look at the screen then put them right back on, I guess trying to figure out what was going on. He sat glued to it though.
Alright, I have some work to finish up...see you guys, in what, 53 days?

I think he'll enjoy the Philharmagic, I do :thumbsup2

He's getting excited about going on the "Mickey Boat", he keeps asking about it.

Esther keeps telling him his 2nd birthday's coming up (Oct. 4) and I talked to mom this morning and she said he's been going around the house singing Happy Birthday to Cullen. Wait until you guys meet him, he's a nut.

It is so sad, when we were in school it was an occasional fist fight and you could still get a spanking from the principal, but the was the worst of our worries. Todays kids have to worry everyday is someone is going to shoot up their school. Unbelievable!!! :sad2:

On a sad :sad2: note can you believe another school shotting. One last week and another this week. I feel so bad for the Amish families. They were showing them all hugging and crying. School used to be a place where children can feel safe. With the society today that has changed for the worst! I can't believe that a person with probelms would take it on innocent children!! Well my heart goes out to thoses Amish families!!
Well I am going to cook Polenta to go with the left over stew from yesterday. Talk to you all later!!

Looks like we were pretty busy on the boards in the last day and a half. :thumbsup2

We had DH's family over yesterday to eat burgers / hot dogs / fries, etc. that they salvaged from the fire in their restaurant early Saturday morning. Turns out it was arsen -- they tried starting fires in three separate areas. Luckily, it's a concrete block building, so the damage was on the inside. I sure hope they catch and prosecute the guilty parties. :furious:

The school shooting news is also tragic. Is that the third one in the past week?? Colorado, a principal was shot in WI, and now this. :sad2: :sad2:

Onto to happy news -- :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc DH bought me my own laptop so I can be on the DIS whenever I need to be! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :disrocks:

Shell, love the pictures!! You look fabulous! Wendy, you and your new friend look splendid, too! I think I'd like Jim from The Office to accompany me just so we can work on Jell-o dessert designs! :stir: :rotfl2: Are you in, Shell???? :thumbsup2

Better get going. I have to run to the store to buy 26 Gogurts for DD's snack tomorrow. (Of course, the list came out the day after I went to the grocery store!)

I do have a pretty mean whip, and my kids will tell you I have eyes in the back of my head that can see everything, and ears that can hear a pin drop across the room, when I'm not suppose to hear it!!! :rolleyes1

Well DS and DH went out for pizza tonight so I didnt have to cook. I havnt been feeling well the past few days, so this is nice for me, no dishes either!!!

JAMIE - I was in tears watching the news today. Me and DH and the kids go out to Lancaster all the time...we absolutely love it. As a matter of fact we were just there on Sat. It breaks my heart to see such a peaceful community going thru something tragic. My heart goes out to everyone in the area. I'm glad you guys are ok.
It really stinks that our kids have to experience these horrible type of events. Like someone said earlier...a fist fight was the biggest happening at my school growing up....my thoughts and prayers are with all of the communities dealing with the tragedies of the past week.

Sorry I've been MIA...we were out all day on Sat. and then Sunday I spent on the couch nursing my back...yes, it's still not right :sad1: Sitting is not the most comfortable position so I haven't been on the computer much. I'm hoping over the next couple of days there should be some improvement. I went back to my chiro again today..so we'll see.

KATHY - I hope you are feeling better today. Here, let me return the gesture pixiedust: pixiedust: Better now?

I can't believe how close we are getting to cruising. I really haven't done too much yet...I hope I'm not feeling a false sense of security because I've done this already. I'll be running around like a crazy woman a week before :crazy:

I hope everyone has a great night!

Hey Steve,
How is Laura doing?? Are you using Flounder's nursery while onboard??

Laura's doing fine, thanks for asking, she hasn't had anymore episodes, so we aren't sure what was going on. The Dr. said babies do funny things sometimes.
We will be using Flounders, just not sure when. We all want to try to go to Palo's for brunch but didn't get it at the 75 day mark, trying when we get on ship, so they'll probably get to Flounders then. We've discussed at length and aren't sure if we will be putting them in there for a "break", Cullens like a sponge right now, everything's new to him and it's awesome to watch him see things for the first time.
But that's not to say I won't be over ruled by a massage! :rotfl:

Cheri,
no teacher here, just a cook and business owner.
But i got my eyes and ears from my mom.
Having raised 4 kids it was a necessity to have these talents, now I use them when the grandkids are here, of course I dont yell at them :cloud9: , they are all perfect ANGLES!!! Nothing like their moms were :rotfl2:
They take after their grandma!!!

Dont know where the foghorn of a voice came from, but it comes in handy at times :rotfl2: . I also am a fast talker unless I concentrate. I was the fastest talker in the entire school and neighborhood. :rolleyes1

Kelly, thanks for the pixie dust. I got a prescription today that I hope will help. :thumbsup2

I am off to bed early, I need all the beauty rest I can get, seeing Shell in her red dress was an inspiration to me!!! :love:

Will check back in tomarrow,

Good Morning, Kathy - got to keep us toward the top of the list, don't we?

Kelly, have you tried core exercises? I haven't been to my chiropractor in about 4 years since i've been doing those. It takes about 15 minutes a day and has really helped my pain and flexibility (I have fibro). The book is "the core program" by Peggy Brill.

Off to the salt mines (otherwise known as the lab). I'll be back to Check up on y'all later.

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA for the past little while. Things just seem to hectic. I have been lurking and reading though - just didn't post. :rolleyes:

Jamie - so sorry to hear about the tragedy so close to home. How someone could do that to anyone, let alone children is beyond me. :grouphug:

Kelly - sorry to hear about your back. I have a real problem with mine too. DH and I took an adults only trip to WDW last Sept and I think sleeping at the HI before the flight killed me. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst spasms I have ever had. Spent 2 hrs in the shower under the hot water. It was worse than labour (OK, well maybe not worse - but close....and there was no epidural!). So, made it on the plane and decided to put my head in DHs lap as I was SO tired. Anyway, went to straighten up and tweaked it again - AGONY!!!!! Stuck in a SWA seat spasming like no tomorrow and trying not to scream. I got up and went to the back - crying going down the aisle. People must have thought I was loony. Anyway, there I am in the back washroom area hanging on to the wall, crying and trying not to fall to my knees every time I had a spasm. It was horrendous. I couldn't wait to get to a pharmacy in Orlando to get some 'good american drugs' but alas I find out you can get muscle relaxers in the US without a prescription - OMG!!!!!!!!! Anyway, by that time I am just a disaster, so we got some
A5-35 and heating pads and hoped for the best. It slowly got better thank god - and I was in WDW so at least that made it nicer. The pool also helped. But I felt bad when I went on rides because I reeked of Ben-Gay LOL. Anyway, hope you feel better soon!

Seems like things are OK with everyone else - busy yes, but OK. Lynn - hoping DS gives you a bit of a break soon.....this too shall pass as they say.

Tonight I am watching House so will miss DWTS - but I am sure I will be kept well informed by the addicts on this board who shall remain nameless LOL :crazy:

I am hopefully going to order my Pirate outfit today. Got DS a tux from another Ontario DISr - $20 can't go wrong!!!!!

Steve grabbed a PIN started kit for DS - THANK YOU STEVE!!!!!!! And thanks to everyone else who offered. I may have to take you guys who are lucky enough to visit the world fairly often up on another offer so I can have a few special treats for DS along the way.....gotta love Disney :cheer2:

We can't WAIT for this cruise and think it will be just great. By November that Carribean sun is going to feel SO great. :sunny: :sunny:

Talk to you all soon - take care!

Kelly, I hope your back gets better real soon. I have a similar story to Sarah, but it was our first DCL cruise. I have had back problems for 20 years. The night before our cruise, we are starting to pack and I do something to my back. We have this little shower massager thing, and DW used it to rub some Icy Hot on my lower back. As she finishes packing, I am laying in bed just praying I don't have to cancel the cruise. The next morning, I just stayed in bed until I felt like I could make the drive to Orlando (6.5 hours). Throughout the cruise, DW would use that little massager to keep me bathed in Icy Hot in the mornings and before bed. It kept me going enough to enjoy the cruise, thank goodness!

10-03-2006, 12:29 PM

Kelly... sorry to hear about your back. I have some linament if you want it. The bottle dates to the late 1800's and is still full with the original contents.
I tried it some time ago when I had sore muscles in my leg. It worked reasonably well to loosen it up and Woo steered clear of me for a couple days because of the odor. They used some unusual ingredients including cayenne peppers and distilled turpentine. Its yours for the asking.

Hope everyones day is goin good.

"Downtime" is hell, Bob...I feel for ya.

Hey Kathy...quick question. Did they still have the rotational buffets (eg: chinese, american, mexican...etc) when you were aboard last? That question goes to anyone thats been onboard lately too... I just default DCL questions to Kathy, oh queen of the Disney Cruise info :worship: . (the reason I asked is I didn't see it listed on the latest navigators they have out from an early Sept. Eastern....) thanks in advance....
Enjoy....

Bill,
when we cruised in August they did have the different themes each day at lunch in the buffet. I know there was a mexican, italian, american,seafood, not sure about oriental, but I think so.

Hope that helps some, if I think of what the other days were themed I will let you know what they were. :thumbsup2

Kathy :wave:

Ditto us in August on the Western Itinerary. Each day was themed. We rarely did the sit down lunch with the kids either on an excursion or swimming at that time, but one day we hit the seafood buffet. It was great for us - the kids weren't so into it..

Ok.... question to everyone... Has anyone heard ANYTHING concerning the Disney Dream? I've read bits and pieces here and there and it may just be a nasty rumor, but if there IS a new ship in the works....I sure would love to know more about it. Anyone?
Talk to everyone later...

In our local paper a few months back it was announced that DCL did have another ship allplanned, they had submitted the plans for approval, but it also sad they were NOT going to build it until the dollar and the euro (spelling??) were stronger.
That was all it said. Here in Florida, if Disney does anything at all it makes the paper ASAP!!! But there has been nothing since then.
I will post if I ever see anything about it, we would love to know all about it too.

Hey Everyone!

Thanks so much for the well wishes and all the great tips for my back. I have a herniated disc in my lower back so I know what is causing the problem...I aggravated it really bad back in Feb. and I'm still on the road to recovery I guess.
I only see the chiro. when it's acting up. As for the Core exercise...I do those too. I take Jazzercise classes and we do a LOT of core work. The only problem is that it's VERY lower back intensive a lot of the time and if I overdue it I pay. Guess what??? I overdid it 2 weeks ago...I was stupid...did a routine 2 days in row that I shouldn't have done and then went walking in New York and bowling. Duh...I know! Everytime I aggravate it I think I've learned my lesson. Hopefully I will be a little smarter this time.

I've gotta run DS to karate. I'll be back later!

CHERI - I too was thinking that if DH would buy ME a laptop life would be easier :)

BILL - by the way....I'll pass on the ancient chinese secret ointment ...I'll stick to good old fashioned Biofreeze. Have you heard of it...the stuff is AWESOME!

FYI on the back injury stuff....my Drs. have told me that when you have injured your back ice is actually the best thing for a while, sometimes up to a week, until the inflammation goes down. Heat draws more blood to the area and can cause more throbbing. I've found that walking around with a cold pack on my lower back(in the house of course) has helped tremendously, but in the morning there is nothing liike a nice hot shower to get rid of the achiness from lying in bed all night.

I agree with the staying healthy stuff. There is way too much fun to be had on the Magic and I don't plan on missing any of it :Pinkbounc

BOB- how did the scavenger hunt go this weekend?

LUCINDA - :grouphug: Has anything happened with your daughter that maybe she isn't telling you? Is something wrong at school? Is the move in with your in-laws upset her? Hang in there...my DD will be 11 in a couple of weeks and her hormones are raging - (Sorry Bob ;) )

By the way...I am feeling MUCH better today. I think I will be feeling 100% by the end of the week...as long as i don't do anything silly.

Have a good night!

It turned blue about a half hour later. Esther told me to put a really tight shoe on to help "pop" it back in place and now my entire foot is numb. Who said to be careful these next couple of weeks?

Pat....so sorry for your toe....I broke my little toe about a month ago and its still sore....better but not 100 % yet. Actually I wear gym shoes to work all day...then when I got home would put my flip/flops on....that seemed to work for me. But even now putting on my shoes for work, its still hurts some.

Well someone stole my DH wallet at work today. He works in a steel plant. He leaves his wallet, in his office, in his breif case. So when he went to leave for home, he noticed it was missing. Went down in the plant and asked the workers..they said they saw some guy go upstairs into his office earlier in the day. No one stopped him nor said nothing to anyone.. :confused3 so by the time he got home from work and called his credit cards they had already made charges on them. :sad2: so tomorrow we have to go to the DMV to get a new license for him. What a pain in the butt.... :

We had to call all 3 Credit Reporting Agencies and put "Security Alerts" on our accts. Even with that the guy was able to purchase the bike because someone didn't read the full credit report....

Mornin everyone, Late start here today. I couldn't drag myself out of bed until 6 a.m. I hate that, it makes me feel like half the day is gone. Believe me, at my age, that's not a good thing ;)
The toe woke me up a few times last night. I think I might have gotten two of them. When I woke up I felt like Adam Sandler in the movie Mr. Deeds with his black foot! I never saw such colors on toes before :rotfl: I can walk on it, just a bit sore. The flip flops :thumbsup2 - thanks. I'm even feeling brave enough to try the treadmill at the gym. If I can put on my shoes.
I had my purse taken once too. It was at the office I was working at. I left my desk to go upstairs and came back to get my purse and it was gone! Some guy from the pizza place down the street called me at home and said they found my purse in their trash can. Everything except my little book where I kept phone numbers was taken. What a pain it is. You also worry about your own safety so we changed the locks on the doors at the house too. (my keys were in there too) Isn't life great. I will never understand some people or things as long as I live.

I hope everyone is feeling better today. My back finally stopped hurting! I took a LOT of medication. That could be the reason for going to bed sooooo early :goodvibes
Today is Cullen's 2nd b'day party: :bday: Boy, time flies by Lynn. Remember to treasure each day with your little guy. Also, write little things down so you can remember them. They say such cute things and YOU WILL FORGET them if you don't write them down.
Well, gotta go. Going to try and put some shoes on :bitelip:

Pat, I know what you mean about them growing up so fast. I have kept a journal for Austin since I found out I was pregnant for him and I write down all the cute things he has said and done in them. My favorite and now that he is 12 he will hate me for this but,,,, when he was 3 we were at WDW and staying at the campground, he was desperate for a Davy Crockett coonskin cap. After my dad bought him for him he walked around so proudly I asked who are you thinking he would tell me Davy since we had been singing the song to him all day but no he responds " I'm Baby Crickett" It was so cute we did not have the heart to correct him :rotfl2:

Hope everyone feels better today

Good Evening Banana Heads :banana: :banana: :banana:

OK, DWTS review. Sorry, guys ... Sara just doesn't do it for me. She has always been stiff, doesn't "flow" gracefully with the music, and tonight could be her last. Anyone else glued to the set while Springer waltzed? I think he did a lovely job. :thumbsup2

Sweet dreams ...
Yup! I'm with you on this! :thumbsup2

I didn't think Sara did very well. I also thought Jerry danced better than a 22 (for him). I was thinking he'd get closer to 24 or 25, especially after the way the judges reacted.

I think Mario has set himself up as a clear favorite.

Boy, I haven't become obsessed at all, have I?? :crazy: :crazy:

Ok, I see some of you didn't take my advice yesterday about being careful not to get hurt or sick -- won't mention any names Pat, Mutt. . . :rolleyes1

Seriously, Pat, hope that toes gets better quick -- OUCH! pixiedust: Maybe this will help.

Mutt -- careful with those flesh wounds. Reminds me of the old SNL skit with Dan Akyroyd (sp?) as Julia Child when she cuts herself while cutting up chicken. "Oh I cut the dickens out of my hand." I may not have the quote exact -- having to go off of memory! :crazy:

Not much going on this morning. It's supposed to rain today.

What is with people stealing wallets?? :sad2: :sad2: Hope they catch the perpetrator. It's such a pain, and such a "violated" feeling when someone takes your personal things.

Have a good day, everyone!

Okay. Man I had a lot of catching up to do this morning! Had a very busy afternoon yesterday. Stopped on the way home to pick up some supplies and made dinner for Lisa last night. We had bowtie pasta with a cream sauce with bell peppers, onions and smoked sausage in it. We both LOVE this recipe. DW saw a picture of it several years ago without a recipe, and I created my own. VERY easy to make...it takes less than 30 minutes (Rachael Ray would be proud!).

As far as the scavenger hunt this weekend, it went okay. We really only had four people show up, but they went out as one team and did the pictures anyway. It was a blast to see the pictures because two of the requirements were one of the females being kissed by a fireman and one of the guys being kissed by a Waffle House waitress. Well the guy ended up with waitresses kissing both cheeks, so he was happy! :love:

Doing a little car research this week. We had an issue with DW's Explorer on Friday night and think it might be time to start looking to replace it. I mean, it only has 185,000 miles on it! So, she is driving the Mustang this week, and was really tore up about having to do it! :rolleyes:

Bill: "We demand a sacrifice!"

Wendy, that is too cute! Aren't kids great. Just when you think you can't stand the way your day is going, they pop out with something that puts the :sunny: back in it.
Ok Lynn, that's two of us who think writing stuff down is a fantastic idea. Only wish I would have done it when my two were little. Stephen was/is so darn funny. You have to listen close to him or you'll miss it. He takes after my dad. Very very quick. Then there is our dd, oh my gosh...she can keep you laughing for hours.

Just talked to Stephen and he is on his way to magic kingdom with Cullen so Cullen can get his happy birthday pin! Aren't annual passes great! And the fact that we only live 90 mins. away :thumbsup2 We use to live only l hour away. Then they built all those houses, stores, apartments etc...that brought the stop lights :sad2: If you men are anything like my dh those stop lights are a pain in the you know what. It makes him :furious: One or two are ok, but at every corner...I hate riding with him sometimes.

All is well here. Am 'working from home' ;) today. Going out for my riding lesson soon - decided to switch it around to during the day becuase it is getting so dark so early these days!

Kelly - how did you find out you had a herniated disc?? Can they tell by feel or do x-rays? I have often thought I should go and see if there is anything 'really' wrong with my back or if it is just 'quirky'.

Glad to hear the wee one is sleeping better for you Lynn - makes life alot easier eh?

Ah, but you forget ... the Christmas parade scene, the Higbee's department store ... those scenes were filmed in downtown Cleveland!

Bob, sorry to hear that the scavenger hunt wasn't well attended. I don't think there's anything worse than putting time and effort into something and it doesn't turn out like you planned :worried: But now I see that kissing firemen was involved puckerup: :firefight ... so maybe you and Lisa can put one together for all of us on the cruise :rotfl2: ?!

For those of you that actually have baseball teams that are still playing ... this is for you :p . Actually Bill and I saw a 2007 Cleveland Indians calendar in Borders the other day. It was really nice, but October was missing :lmao: (OK, that was Bill's joke, I can't take credit)

I'll see if I can't work something out with the Captain for the ladies and one of the Princesses for the guys!

Okay guys, if you had your choice, which Disney princess would you marry?

For me, it would either be Belle or Ariel. LOVE those redheads (just ask DW).

Hi all. I feel Like i've been gone from the board forever. I had pages to catch up on. Not much new here. I changed banks yesterday due to some customer service issues with our previous lender (someone I had been with for more than 20 years). It was actually an exhausting experience even though the new bank is doing everything to make it as easy as possible. I think that wore me out for three days! Now I have to get some work done to catch up on what I didn't do yesterday.

After reading incredible reviews, I watched a bit of Friday Night Lights last night. It was a great show and may be my second "must tape" show of the week in addition to the Amazing Race. I dunno how I'll keep up on it all.

Oh and for you Lost afficianados, I started renting the first two seasons to watch while I'm stuck at airports or sitting on planes and now I'm hooked. the only problem is that I'm almost a year behind. So if you are going to talk about it here I am going to have to stay away! I think I'm on episode nine from the second season. The tailies just came into camp with the original crew. What an incredibly well written show this is. The character development is like nothing I've ever seen on TV before.

:banana: Afternoon all....I left work early today, an noon. Waiting for Wally to get home so we can go to the DMV and bank to get his drivers license and our bank card fixed. So since I have a few moments, why waste time doing something constructive :confused3 so here I am.

Wendy that was such a cute story about your son: I didnt write down stuff, but this is my favoriate story of my son. He is now 24 and would most likely shoot me if he knew I was telling people this story. He was about 3 years old. He had this short outfit, black shorts and a gray short shirt, which showed off his tummy. So when he would be out playing, his sister and her friend who were about 5 yrs old...would say to him...."What a sexy boy"....he hated it, he would come in the house crying and say make them stop saying that...I would just kinda laugh and say one of these days, you are going to want the girls to say that.....but he just hated it....I think he thought it was something bad at that time.... :rotfl: Oh well...such fond memories. They grow so fast...so treasure every moment.

Be back later.

Sarah -- good trivia for A Christmas Story! Last night as I was about to sit down to eat, I had to get up to get a milk re-fill for DD, and ketchup for DH, and the words, "My mother hadn't had a hot meal for herself. . ." ran through my mind!! Too bad I hadn't made meatloaf and mashed potatoes! At least DD doesn't have to pretend she's mommy's little piggy in order to eat! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Could make for interesting dining on the Magic! :rotfl:

Jeff, Linda and Kathy -- Count me in on not knowingmuch on TV at all, except for news shows. I know nothing about the reality shows, ER, Desperate Housewives, etc.

Eight weeks from today, we will be cruising after leaving St. Thomas. I don't like sea day on Thursday on the Eastern, as there's only one day left of the cruise.
