[woogal]

Well now THAT gave me a chuckle:

Wendy says: "Kathy, IF you go to WDW in the next couple of weeks ..." :rotfl2: That's like saying, "Hey Lynn, if you get a chance to stop at the mall this week ..." :rotfl2: Is there any doubt? :lmao:

[woogal]

Boy, everyone keeps saying "I'm not a drinker ...". Does this mean that all the drinking is up to Cheri, Wendy and me? :drinking1 You folks really don't want that, do you? :scared1:

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[disneediva]

Kathy I would like 2 if you see them, last time I got one they were by the pins..thanks so much

OK Lynn, your turn since you shop frequently, I am looking for a cooler you keep on your desk and set a can it in to keep it cold all day I bought one last year for my dad and forgot where I bought it, if you see one while shopping let me know..thanks

HELP GUYS!!!!!

Steve, Jeff, Bill, Trey, Wally....You guys are abandoning me here with all these women. Now, while some might not think it is a bad thing, I don't like the way some of these conversations are going. I need your support! START POSTING! :bounce:

[PuppyMommy]

Bob's tiara remains a secret. I do have another that my cousin gave me when I was little. Maybe I should look for it. :confused3

[TiggerKing]

Yes, but Lisa ... the real question is ... were you also working on BOB's tiara? :rotfl2:
I knew I should have kept you two apart until the cruise!

[cruisemutt]

I'm here Bob....just holding back a lil bit due to your recent escapades with the tiarashttp://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/pinkskirtnaner9fj.gif. All this talk about princesses and queens.....phooey. When we get on the topics of favorite food you've been waiting for all these months ... favorite drinks.....what you all plan on taking from this adventure.... I wanna know that stuff. Imagining Bob in a tiara....that just gives me the willies.

Glad you're feeling better, Wendy...

Have a great day everyone.........................

hehehehehehehehehehehehehe :rotfl2:

Wait, like you really think THAT would've helped your case?!

P.S. You have to call him DREAMBOAT Wally!

[LindaBabe]

I have one of those passholder pin type thingies - they ARE with the pins. Kathy, If you can't find them, I'll get them.

Someone was posting WAY earlier on this thread about finding a "wish" child to 'be nice to' ? I spoke with Shirley today for "other" reasons, and we have our child. Just in case the family is on our thread, I won't post details. PM if interested.

ok. The box is done, both post offices notified, cars rented, 5 work days left.

OH! I did something novel last night. I called and got our credit card interest rate lowered 4 1/2 points! Now, I rarely carry a balance, but thought I might want to next month until I realized the rate was 19% HOLY ^(*&(! So, I called 'em up, pressed 'em a little bit and presto - lower rate. Still not low enough to encourage me to carry a balance, but certainly better than it was!

off to make dinner.

[pgfour]

Boy, everyone keeps saying "I'm not a drinker ...". Does this mean that all the drinking is up to Cheri, Wendy and me? :drinking1 You folks really don't want that, do you? :scared1:

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

They're all in denial!!!! HI, my name is Cheri, and I'm (almost) always available for a drink!!! :crazy: DH's name is Bill W after all! (Hope I'm not offending anyone on our thread. That's Bob's job! :rotfl2: )

[pgfour]

Well now THAT gave me a chuckle:

Wendy says: "Kathy, IF you go to WDW in the next couple of weeks ..." :rotfl2: That's like saying, "Hey Lynn, if you get a chance to stop at the mall this week ..." :rotfl2: Is there any doubt? :lmao:
My thoughts exactly! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[pgfour]

Wait wait
Lisa did you say Bob was teaching you how not to offend on these boards :rotfl :lmao:

Shell you let that comment pass, GF you are slipping...You too Cheri I was waiting for a zinger :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
I'm on limited computer time these days. :furious:

But DH did take my laptop to a repair guy :badpc: so I SHOULD be up and ready to defend our honor in a few days!!! :thumbsup2

[pgfour]

is it a sign of a problem when your carryon is filled with liquor?

You mean everyone's carryon ISN'T filled with liquor????? :confused3 :confused3

It does NOT signal a problem. It means you're a savvy consumer taking advantage of potential savings so you can spend that money on other things. :thumbsup2

And thanks, Shell, for referring the question to me!!!!!!! :teeth: :crazy:

BTW, what are you trying to say????!!!!!! Our picture was one of the only ones that didn't feature alcohol! (I checked it again; the fumes didn't show up in the photo!):lmao: :lmao: :lmao: )

[disneediva]

Thanks Kathy and Linda :cool1:

Cheri, glad you are back in form, I am thinking of getting one of those rolling backpacks for our carryon all that liquor can get heavy :rotfl2:

Mutt you're back, you bad doggy you I missed ya :love:

Linda sent you a PM

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Wendy,
if we go this weekend I will look for your holder. If I dont get the chance I will tell Linda so she can get it. Between the two of us we will make sure you get them.

We had a beautiful day here today. made a nice chicken dinner tonight.

I tried to watch the Wonder pull out buy by 6 it hadnt showed yet and it was dark so I clicked off the 2 palms site.

We did pretty good today for our # of posts, but we could still use another 10 or so.

Keep'em coming :woohoo:

Kathy :wave:

[disneediva]

Thanks Kathy :love:

No docs here today, I baked a ham for dinner and it was great.

KAthy it was warm here today almost 80 :blush:

Wendy

[BelievesinFairies]

Relax Pat! You don't need a pass port yet. But, it sure makes life easier!

Laurie, Whatcha going to shop for ? Inquiring minds want to know!

Lynn - glad you're feeling better - it's been a couple days with no baby picture :(

I don't drink much either but oh baby! I can't WAIT for a Konk Kooler!!!!


Pre-cruise or On the Cruise?
I have spent many $$ pre cruise on Princess Costumes, new clothes for the kids...I got some Disney light thingies...ya know the ones that have the spinning lights on them...they were on sale on disney.com and I thought it would be good to have them if they want something from the gift shop that I don't want to buy....basically anything with Disney on it...Ariel and Nemo Sunscreen...Mickey Tissues....the list is tooo long.
On the boat...tshirts...PHOTOS...scrapbooking stuff...and any other knicknacks that float my boat. ;)

[LindaBabe]

OH! I thought you had a line on wonderful things to buy in our ports of call. Even I, who hates to shop, can do some serious damage in the ships shops. lol

Not in denial about drinking - I'd LOVE to drink. Unfortunately, i'm allergic to the Nitrates in wine, and I don't like the taste of most alcohol any more. (We won't talk about back in the dark ages of my twenties ;)

Guys, any time you don't like the trend of the thread, you can always post and change the subject you know! Meanwhile . . . where's my crown?

[Dixielady908]

Holy cow!!!! It took me 30 minutes to read and catch up with youz guys....

So my questions to all of you hunks.......who is singing karaoke and what song are you singing....dreamboat wants to practice!!!!! You need to let me know ahead of time cuz he needs alooooottttt of practicing...shhhh dont tell him I said that..... :rolleyes1

Bob, dreamboat wally may only come on the boards if you call him correctly...Shell is correct you have to use dreamboat wally!!! :teeth:

Well I dont drink much :teeth: but I'm up for a girls day/nite out.....just let me know.....when and where :thumbsup2

Kathy: I think I can finally honor your wishes....I am not working tomorrow or monday, so I can post finally more than once....and hopefully keep up with everyone.

Actually I had a dream last night about the cruise but I cant remember it. I have been trying all day but its gone :confused3

So I am staying home tomorrow and going to get some house cleaning done. Since my DS will be home with the dogs, and having his friends over, I need to get this place in order.

Well have a good evening will be back later to post.....gotta make our quota!!!!

Hey everyone,

Gotta make it quick - I need some shut eye! So....I believe I am the furthest Northern cruiser and guess what I got today....OUR CRUISE DOCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was totally expecting them not to come until a day or two before. Unfortunately I decided this was a sign to get all my ship paperwork in order, adn I went to the DCL site to update my online checkin stuff and something is wrong so I can't update. I hate it when you have a plan and something gets in your way!! Oh well, more time to get online LOL.

Linda - sent you a PM.

Sounds like things are pretty good for everyone - a few minor sickies but nothing major.

I had a bit of a scare yesterday. As you might recall, DH was away for Halloween so DS and I went to a friend's place to Trick-or-Treat. Well, said friend's mom called me yesterday and advised me her son is currently covered in Chicken POx. Well, DS has not had the Pox yet and had been a bit coughing/sicky the past few days!!!!!!! I checked his body immediately and no spots (thank God!!). We have been checking a few times a day and so far we seem to be OK. I cannot imagine how SHATTERED I would have been if I could not go on this cruise becuase of silly old Chicken Pox!!!! Not to mention, DH has never had them and I really don't need him to have Shingles on top of all this. Anyway....fingers crossed everyone escapes from this brush with disaster. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I am praying you weren't exposed to Chicken Pox and that you don't see any red bumps! Dh had shingles in the beginning of the year and it wasn't fun for anyone....ick.

Hey Tigger
Sorry I took so long to re-post, I didn't realize a day and a half would include about 6 pages. My nick name came from work related positions and placed on me by one of my associates. I took a job as a construction superintendent for a large builder in Florida, my position in this company made me responsible for not only building houses but organizing and directing many sub-contractors and vendors, many of which were imcompetent. During my tenure, I revamped and rebuilt a division or large community that included hiring and firing appropriate personnel to bring building standards to a new level of quality. So, I pretty much removed the deficient and replaced them with proficient. With the sheer amount of changes I made, I was referred to "The Hammer". That was a long time ago, but I have been with the company so long now that it seems nick names seem to relate and it's actually a big joke now. A long winded explanation, but thats how it came to be. On a lighter note, great job on the posts, We are counting the days now and Kathy has let me know that we will start this cruise as early as the security will allow us. We are staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise so I will be at the terminal by 9:55 so we can enter at 10:00.
See everyone soon.
Greg

Did anyone have to sign for them? I sure hope not....usually neither of us are home in time for the UPS fella.....

Have a good day everyone....

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Mutt,
UPS left ours on the door step and didnt even ring the door bell to let us know. so we didnt have to sign for them, but I was upset they just left them. So glad no dogs or kids ran off with them. They sat out there all night!!!

Kathy :wave:

[disneediva]

I want my docs I want my docs I want my docs I want my docs I want my docs I want my docs

By the way, gang... I invaded the November 18th western board and told them to leave the lights on for when we get there....(fun bunch a kids, lemme tell ya--<smirk>) I'm glad I'm part of this group, even as crazy as everyone says we are. If ya get a chance, write them a lil note from the nanaheads....lol--- :banana:

Good morning, Banana Heads :banana: :banana: :banana:

GREG: I had to laugh when I read your post. I've been working in new construction for the last 5 years and know EXACTLY what you're talking about when it comes to subs :sad2: . Sounds like you're one of those construction jewels that are so rare to find in this industry!

Aw c'mon BOB! It isn't so hard to say ... try it with me ... slowly ... DREAM BOAT WALLY :love: ! Maybe you're just jealous cause we haven't given you a term of endearment yet. Hmmm ... Tiara Bob? Stud Muffin Bob? Anyone got any other ideas? :lmao:

SARAH: OMG! Not chicken pox :scared1: ! I went to bed last night worrying about that for you! I'm one of those rare people that had them twice. I was trying to figure out if Dutch got them, isn't it only active for a week? Man, I hope he doesn't, but if he does, I'm hoping that he'll get through it and be done before the cruise!

MUTT: "Doc envy". Nice one :rotfl: Hey, I looked over on the 11/18 board and you're right ... not even a single response! Seems to me that maybe it's time to antagonize the 11/18 people with an onslaught of bananas :lmao:

Check back with youze guyz later ...

Well I had a nice morning so far. I got up and made breakfast for my son and me, before he went off to work. So we had a nice talk this morning. He is printing my signs today so I had to be nice to him :teeth:

Tom :grouphug:

Hey Tom - where in FL does your MIL live? We, Kathy and I are in FL.

Do you get cruise docs if you completed info on line?
Pat

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning! Mid morning checkin just to bump us up. TTFN

[U2Pixies]

Chicken Pox! Boy, if it isn't one thing...
If I'm not mistaken, and I know there is someone (or two) who is in the medical field on here to confirm or disagree, I think you can be contagious before your pox pops out. Once you pox out you're not contagious, or is it when it starts to dry up? Been so long since I was around the chicken pox. I thought they gave shots to infants for that :confused3 So far I haven't heard of anyone in our area with chicken pox. I'm going to think happy and pox free thoughts for you.

Had to take baby Laura to the doctor this a.m. she has a bad cold, Esther is home sick, and Cullen is throwing up AGAIN! Don't know what is going on here but I'm SICK of it. I hope you all stay healthy for at least the next month!

Have a :goodvibes day all. :wave: Pat

Almost forgot - Jeff - how is Emily? Hope she's doing great!

[cruisemutt]

I sure hope I (we) didn't upset our Nov. 18th family too much.... I'd hate for them to leave dirty towels in our nice clean bathrooms on my account.

warm wishes to Tiara Bob....and to all....enjoy!!! :rolleyes1 :banana:

PS: Sarah...I'm keeping my paws crossed for ya....we all really, really want to meet you and your family.

[woogal]

Hey, speaking of Tiara Bob ... someone's AWFUL quiet today ..... :confused3

[disneediva]

Sarah, the chicken pox are at the wosrt the week before the bumps pop out..If he was exposed he would be showing by now

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Sarah,

pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: to keep the chicken pox away!


Mutt, I also posted on the 11/18 cruise. They are gonna think we 've all gone a little :banana: around here,

Oh my gosh - all that illness! We GOTTA be healthy by the 25th!

Just wanted to bump us up!! I did not want to get whipped by Kathy :eek: :eek:. Well I am going to do bills and do my checkbook. Talk to you all after General Hosptial.


Pat: I hope everybody feels better soon!!! Are you still working???

[Dixielady908]

:smooth: Hey Kathy this is for you!!!!! :teeth: wanted to keep my promise and keep our posts up.

Well I just got a few rooms done so far and taking a break. I washed the kitchen floor, let the dogs up from the family room after they were dry and Louie went and peed on the floor :crazy: I was so mad at him. I dont know what his problem is?????

Well I'v got my lower section done, now upstairs to the bedrooms....I'm tired already and its only noon....

[firemans wife]

hello there, Just checking in. Sounds like there are more sick people-Here is some pixiedust: pixiedust: I do hope you all fee better soon!! Sarah I am hoping and praying DS does not get chicken pox. My kids both had the vaccine and they still got a mild case of it.

No cruise Docs yet. :sad1: I think I will cal my TA today and see if she has them.


Lynn-Love the picture of DS. My good friend is having her baby this Sunday. I am so excited!! I love babies especially-when I can hold them and give them back to mom when they start crying :sad:


Well I am off to take a walk. Today is the last nice day for a while. Its a lot colder today. Yesterday we hit 68. That sure felt nice. At least its sunny today. I may check out the other board later today.

Lorna :firefight

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Ok, that's ONE post for Denise, :woohoo: 3 more to go today!! RIGHT?? :cool1:

Kathy :wave:

[fourfoxesinpa]

Hey Turkeys!

Only 15 days to go! Geez...looks like I'm not dropping those 30 pounds, huh. :confused3

Yeah for you who have your docs in hand. :cheer2:

I'm online printing out hotel confirmations/car rental stuff. It's really going to happen....soon! :woohoo: :Pinkbounc :banana: :cool1: :thumbsup2

Happy Last Minute Shopping and Packing to all!

[woogal]

Kathy, I have a question. I just did a quick calculation. IF all the "regulars" come to the 2:45 meet, with their kids and travelling companions in tow, we're going to have over 85 people! Is the Promenade able to handle that many? I can't remember how big that area is.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Shell,
yes it will handle that many. It will probably take the entire place, but it shouldnt be a problem. There are always some who either get busy and forget or the kids dont want to get out of the pool for the meet or something like that.
If we get a little crowded we can just squeeze in a little tighter and everyone remember to pile on the secret, right guard, certs and such!!!

Yes guys, you too!!! :rolleyes1

I do believe each side of the lounge has 10 table that seat 4 at each one, plus there is a long couch along both the back sides that will hold a few more people. In the past most of us tended to wander around visiting instead of sitting down anyway.
We will be a sea of green shirts in there. Should be great fun, :lmao:

Kathy :wave:

[favoriteslave]

Lauri & Tom:

T-shirts are in and are going in the evening mail. I am sending them priority so you should have them by the first of next week.

ttyl.

[Dixielady908]

:rolleyes1 ummmm Kathy this is actually my thrid post on this thread today.....I posted earlier this morning..... :thumbsup2 So I have kept my promise. I even posted the the november 18th thread......boy they just dont seem like a really fun crowd :confused3 Oh well.....we lucked out and have all the fun cruisers on our ship..... :woohoo:

Well its 3pm and I think its time for a shower, since I have been cleaning all day....plus "dreamboat" should be home shortly.


Shell....I can't belive that there is that may of us.....holy cow!!! :dance3:

Pat - Thanks for asking. She is doing great! She went to doctor today and her ears are clear...her lungs are clear and her breathing is fine. Fingers crossed it sticks this time!

[TiggerKing]

Afternoon folks. Glad to see that at least a couple of people missed me today, even if they were trying to cause me trouble! :stir:

Very busy day today, after a late night last night. Lisa and I and some friends went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra last night. You may not be familiar with the name, but I know that you have heard a couple of their Christmas songs. Imagine The Who gets slammed together with an Orchestra and they play Christmas (primarily, but other as well) music. Don't believe Beethoven or Handel ever imagined a rock guitar playing the violin parts. But, it was absolutely the best concert that I have been to. And, I have seen Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones this year.

Spent the day running from client to client giving bad news (sound like fun, Jeff?)! Oh what a day! TGIF for sure! :woohoo:

[LindaBabe]

I called my ta - she said I didn't need to worry if they didn't come - the only thing that may n ot be on line is the immigration form for bahamas. And, the porters will put room numbers on luggage that's not tagged.

4 more workdays for me. I'm packing my cruise stuff now to check if I need to ship a box tomorrow. Took down and dumped the last of my plants. Except the daisy chrysanthemum that is blooming it's little heart out. We NEVER have flowers this late in upstate new york.

OUr little "fairy -er harrygodmother" mission is coming along nicely. If anyone else cares to join the group, just send a pm.

Ok Break is over - back to work!

[TIGGER41681]

Good Evening All :banana: :banana: :banana: ,
Well today I finished iron my shirts for the cruise and packed them, stopped the mail and paper. This weekend me and DH are off to the Mall (Shell, not me at the Mall) to finish our Christmas :santa: :santa: :santa: shopping. We are off to Toys R Us to get DS's afew toys for Christmas :santa: too. My in-laws are coming up to babysit :thumbsup2 !! Not cooking today :woohoo: :woohoo: DH got Chinese Food. Well DS is up from his nap gotta go. Be back later!!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Denise,
I posted on the 11/18 too. Your right, they are not as crazy as us :crazy:

That's ok, not everybody is perfect like we are :lmao:
Posting there didnt up our count, so I am sorry , only 2 posts that count for you today, so far!! :rolleyes1

Anybody else get their docs today??

It turned out to be a beautiful day today, :sunny: I even got to leave the windows open alll day without the air conditioner coming on!!

Well I am off to clean up the dinner mess,
I will check back later,

Kathy :wave:

[jd99]

[DutchsMommy]

OK - to those involved in our 'secret project' I have PM'd you trying that 'copy' thing - let me know if it doesn't work. Like Linda said - if anybody else is interested PM her (thanks for volunteering Linda)!! We should be able to spread some happiness :wizard:

Lots like DS avoided the dreaded 'pox'. Thank the LORD!!! I was pretty stressed there for a while. I have been on course the past two days so haven't been able to post much (sorry Kathy! :teacher: ). All is well here. The course was really good - Negotiation Skills - and I think I picked up a few things that could come in handy at work.

Well - I have been trying to finalize my 'Online Check-In' on the DCL site and get all my docs together - and something is wrong with their website so that when I try and update my ressie to input my passport # etc I get an error message. I called them and they weren't super helpful. The guy even said I could just fill out the stuff at the Port. HELLOOOOOO I know THAT - but I am a certified DIS board Type A spazaholic and need everything completed properly NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway - DS is calling gotta go....

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Josh,
are you still out there???
I was sitting here watching MASH and I remembered you liked it too.
Then I thought it has been awhile since we heard from you. :confused3

How are you and your mom doing? I believe your grandma was ill, how is she doing? Better I hope. :thumbsup2
Now that the weekend is here we expect to see a post :surfweb: or two from you!!

[Dixielady908]

Evening all: Well just finished cleaning up the kitchen....we normally order out on friday, but I just wasnt in the mood :confused3 :crazy: Now I know that this isnt normal....but I actually felt like cooking. :sad2: I usually complain 4 days a week, while at work, how I have to go home and cook. I dont know I guess its "cruise fever".

My son called today, he was droping the cd off that had all my door signs on at kinko's and because MickeyMouse was on them, they would not print them...so my son is doing them at work and printing and cutting them at work and bring them home. So he brought home 3 of them and they look really good....I am sooooooo excited. 2 weeks from today will be in sunny warm flordia......Kathy....Steve.....Pat.....I'm holding you floridans to this!!!! I want sooo much to do the sailaway party on deck 9&10 and watch us sail away.

I'm getting shorn too, Sarah, but it's a waste of time to try and color these tresses. (THat's not your natural color?! If you wouldn't a told we wouldn't a known.) Any then gotta go collect my pig poop (to leave with the tips), and mail a HUGE honking box to the resort - it just gets bigger and bigger. And then return the beautiful dress I bought because it fits funny. :( By then, I'll need a NAP. zzzzzzzzzzzz So I think I'll pack it in for the night now.

What's with that december 9th thread - they're ALWAYS on top, with 45000+ posts. HOW is that possible????

Hi guys! I cannot believe I have less than 2 weeks until we leave. We have been getting more and more excited about it as its getting closer.

I was going to ask if anyone had gotten their docs yet, and then we come home and they were here! It seems like last year we got them alot sooner than this? Maybe it is just me.

Oh well, doin the doc dance! :cool1: :banana: :cheer2: :banana: :cool1:

[YippySkippy]

I should be :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :banana: :cheer2: :banana:
Our family got our, I mean THEIR documents today.

My Mom, My Husband, My Son....ummmmm, mine weren't anywhere to be found. I was a little dampened in spirit because that's such an exciting part of the cruise to "get the docs".

Apparently mine are being sent separately (?!) So I'll dance for my family :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

:confused3

And I'll do a separate dance later :lmao:

My son has found a song that he wants to dance to for the talent show. Any other talent show folks out there? Hope to see you there!

I can't believe that Linda and I were able to say good morning before Kathy!

Going back to the mall today to try and find a dress :sad2: I can't seem to find one out there that has my name written on it. I did buy one but it didn't fit right so it's going back today. I now know why that family that you wrote about all wore jeans. The wife couldn't get her hips in a dress! Instead of making her feel out of place they all dressed down for her.

Have a good day everyone.
Pat :wave:

Good Saturday Morning :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ,
DS and I just got up!! He went to bed at 8:30pm and got up once for a bottle and went back to sleep!! We are getting better :cheer2: :cheer2: with the sleeping!!! Well today is a nice sunny chilly day!! Well DH just went Food shopping so I don't have to go later!! That why I love him :love: :love: !! We want to get soooo much done while my in-laws are babysitting. Well NO docs last night for us :sad2: :sad2: !! I never looked so forward to seeing the UPS man before :rotfl2: !! I guess you can say I am REALLY ready to on VACATION.
My Mom called last night and she went to see my grandmother in the hosptial and it is just a wait and see thing. My said she is not out of the woods yet :sad2: !!
Talk to you all when I get back from the Mall and Toys R Us!!
Have a good weekend :woohoo: !!

Pat: How are the kids feeling??

[LindaBabe]

Pat, if you were as big as me, i have a dress for you! Mine's going back to day too - it didn't fit right! lol. I wear jeans to work all the time - chose my work so that I wouldn't have to dress up - and turned down the job of my dreams once because it required 'business formal dress' excuse me? Hose and heels every DAY? NO WAY JOSE!

Glad you got some sleep, Lynn - happy shopping!

Off to do errands, haircut, ship box, return dress, acquire "pig poop", deliver book . . .

[Dixielady908]

Ummm Linda may I ask a question here? Now I either missed something or with my age, my brain cells are starting to die off......whats with the pig poop? I mean, I guess that sounds really exciting :rolleyes: but not sure what your goin to do with it? :confused3

I'm happy that your all getting your docs...none here yet :sad2: I would love to do the doc dance, well maybe Monday. Lauri why are they sending yours seperate? That just seems a little weird.

So where the heck is Kathy this morning? We all beat her to the boards..... Kathy your slacking....do we need to crack the whip? :teeth:

I have some running today. Goin to Menards the stopper in my bathroom sink broke......isnt that just special? So a little side job before the trip. :crazy:

Cold and windy here today.....cant wait to get into some of that nice warm Florida and Caribbean weather. Only problem with that, then we have to come back to this cold miserable weather afterwards......hmmmmm, note to self....tell dreamboat that we need to move to warmer climate.... ;)

Be back later

Good Morning all.
Your right Kathy, I should post a couple this weekend, and I shall. My AP US teacher, Mr. Martelli, has weened us out of using our outline (what kept me from posting here) for quizes. Oh boy :sad2: .

My cousins are coming with us on the cruise, as you might already know. My one cousin, while I was at their house getting haircuts (my aunt is a hairdresser, and a good one), asked me many questions about the cruise, for he'd never been there. My mom (J&C's Mom, but you probably know that too) claims that I was boring him to death. Not True! He is so siked about this trip, he loves the fact that all of the food is free. My other cousin, sister of cousin #1, like soft drinks apparently, so you might see her loitering around the soda taps.

Well, I'm gonna start my heavenly day of no AP US outlining :cloud9: !

- Josh

[mom x4,grandma x4]

A LATE good morning to all, :sunny:

I have been lurking this morning to see how many would post before me by 8:30, you all did pretty good, we are off to a great start. :goodvibes

I thought maybe if I didnt post early, some may post just to ask where I am and that would build up our count!! :thumbsup2

Today is work in the yard day around here for DH, me I will just bum around and superivse( from a safe distance). Made pancakes and sausages for breakfast today.
That is it for me today!!

Hope all the sickies are doing better today!!
2 weeks to go :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Anybody else gonna watch the Magic pull out on the web cam tonight?? I always watch and count down til we go!!

Keep up all the great posting, especially TOM since he mentioned another 1000 posts in the next 2 weeks!! :rolleyes1

Kathy :wave:

[favoriteslave]

Good Morning All:

Its a chilly 34 degrees in MO. The dog got me up at 630, so what a better opportunity to get up and on the treadmill. DH is still snoring in bed and I've already got my day half over.

No DOCs here. They always deliver to the office, so I will have to wait for Monday.

Linda I agree with you about the wearing jeans to work thing. I have worked in law office's all my adult life and the office that I currently work in just wants me to have clothes on. I wear jeans, t-shirts, etc. Now I will dress up but of my own accord.

Have a great day. Kathy I know your up I got your PM. I bet she's off to the World today. Kiss Mickey for me and tell him I will see him in a couple days.

Good morning Banana Heads :banana: :banana: :banana:

It started out at 60 degrees when I got up and let Guido out at 7 a.m., now it's slipping and will continue to do so all day until we get to 44 by dinner (aka supper). That's OK, just makes us want to get on the ship even faster.

Golly, no comment on my "size doesn't matter" post? Cheri? Wendy? Linda? You're all slipping :lmao:

Going down to Amish country for a few hours, then pick up my gown at the alterations place ... will catch up with all of you later.

Ok, it looks like the whip has to come down off the wall ;)

It has been an hour since I posted and there has only been 1 post :sad2:

Weekends are always our slow times due to people doing things, but 5 minutes to say hello isnt that hard everyone!!! :surfweb:

I am taking notes on who is and isnt posting . Wonder if DCL will let me bring my whip on board :confused3

:teeth: ok, ok, Kathy you scared me enough so I will post just to say hello again......


Actually I was looking at the signs this morning that son brought home and guess what, I found a misspelled word. Now, I have to tell my son to fix them and reprint :sad2: which he will not be happy about. But I also have to keep them away from the dreamboat as I will never live this one down.
However, the funny thing is, he looked at them and he didnt even notice the word.....but I am happy I caught it now than after they were hung on my door :blush: how embarssing would that be!!!

Don't want to stay on Kathys bad list!! :rotfl:

Just a quick hello. I am pretty busy today. I have to get to the school with DD by 12:15 for Lego competiton. Then it is off to my parents for my moms and my birthday dinner. We share the same birthday. What a gift to be in labor on your birthday :crazy: She tells me I'm the best gift shes ever gotten on her birthday :rotfl2:

Tom: The concert was 2.5 hours of awesome emotion! The first half of the show is the rock opera that goes along with the Christmas in Sarajevo music, and then I will just let you be surprised by the last half of the show! As I said earlier, it is the BEST concert/show I have ever seen. The light show is fantastic. Okay, I will shut up now! :dance3:

Hope you have a great time, under the circumstances I will forgive you for not posting a lot today, so I will add you to the "GOOD GIRL" list.

Please add me to the "GOOD GIRL" list. :thumbsup2

I went to a "girl's night out" last night, my first in like 8 years. When I got home, my DS was asleep on my side of the bed, and his luggage was all stuffed next to him on the floor. My DH said he wanted to pack to "help Mom", so I peeked at what he packed.

Let's see my son's packing list:

Chess pieces
48 plastic dinosaurs
1 HUGE dance trophy
2 pairs of underwear
3 dirty tshirts
3 stuffed animals
1 pair of sunglasses

I think he's on the right track :goodvibes

Here's hoping your packing goes as well as my son's.

Lauri

[cruisemutt]

Lauri...That list is very similar to mine!!!! Add some rogaine, 8 lipitors, red converse high top sneakers and a mickey tie....its identical!! ( I wish I had that many dinosaurs...geez)

Hey Bob.... I believe you said in your last post "OK, I will shut up now!"
I conferred with Woo and we've got a bet going....don't let me down...(kidding, buddy---its YOUR cruise, talk all ya wanna!)

Happy Birthday Lorna and Lornas MOM!! :banana: :banana:

Hey Bob.... I believe you said in your last post "OK, I will shut up now!"
I conferred with Woo and we've got a bet going....don't let me down...(kidding, buddy---its YOUR cruise, talk all ya wanna!)
Well, if you and Woo had read the post correctly, you would realize that comment was in reference to my ramblings about the Trans Siberian Orchestra Concert. Now, I could starting limiting with whom I have discussions... :teeth:
As promised. DD8 and I on the way to the father-daughter dance last night. We had much fun!
Jeff: Awesome picture! I bet the two of you had a great time. Your daughter looks SO excited. BTW, where is her tiara? :rotfl2:

[jd99]

Just for equal time here is Miss Emily now feeling better on her way to dance class.

Good Afternoon :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ,

Kathy I want to be added to the GOOD GIRL list because I posted 4 or 5 times today!! No Whip for Lynn :teeth: :teeth: !!!

Well DH and I had a great time out "baby free"!! We went to Toys R US and got him Fisher Price dump truck, front loader and an animal train. I got the cutest Elmo wrapping paper :Pinkbounc !! Well then we were off to Kohl's and DH did his Christmas shopping for me there. And then we went to Applebee's for lunch and I treated myself to a Mudslide :drinking1 :drinking1 :drinking1 which was sooo good. In-laws said DS was angel :angel: :angel: :angel: for them!! Okay I guys I did not even step foot in the Mall today!!

:bday: :cake: Happy Birthday Lorna and Lorna's Mom

[cruisemutt]

Ooooohhhh Bob. I read the post correctly, I just figured I'd jump at ANY opportunity....c'mon--- how many times can I count on YOU uttering a phrase like that? I'm betting not too many...... :teeth:

You have a great looking family Jeff....

Ok, off to see what Mrs. Mutt is up to...no good, I'm sure of that.....
Enjoy

[LindaBabe]

Ummm Linda may I ask a question here? Now I either missed something or with my age, my brain cells are starting to die off......whats with the pig poop? I mean, I guess that sounds really exciting but not sure what your goin to do with it?

Wondered how long it would take before someone picked up on it, :rotfl: You will LOVE it, I promise. www.SaratogaSweets.com

JD, your daughters are adorable - and you sure clean up nice too!

Kathy, I have an excuse - I was out all day - haircut, picked up the p.p. sealed up the box, returned the dress, bought a blouse, met friends for lunch, shipped the box, made some copies, did groceries shopping and now home. To pack. Make dinner. no nap today. :crazy:

See ya lata

[YippySkippy]

JD, your daughters are aDORAble! Glad to see you have an 8 year old, my son will be happy (he doesn't do the "cootie" thing, he likes playing with boys and girls). The father/daughter dance is something she will remember the rest of here life!

I'm taking a break from cleaning my shower. Gee, I think I'll log on....anything to distract me from cleaning :rotfl2:

Still waiting on MY docs. If I don't get them, say "Hi" to the rest of the family for me. :confused3 Maybe they are planning to upgrade me to the Roy Suite and leave the rest of my family in their own cabin?

Does anyone know what movies are going to be playing?

Have a great day, all....I'm still putting dinosaurs away.

Lauri :banana: :banana:

[BelievesinFairies]

Sorry Lauri,
My aunt and uncle received their Docs...and they are in the Roy Suite....maybe the Walt Suite instead?
Still no Docs here in CT though....

[YippySkippy]

(Sidling up to Believes in Fairies)

Really? They're in The Roy Suite?


Sweeeeet!!

(P.S. Did I see somewhere that you're into Scrapbooking? I'm very behind but I LOVE to scrapbook.)

[Dixielady908]

Afternoon all: Well all I did today was run and shop.....and not for fun stuff. Our handle to our patio door was breaking and the stopper in my bathroom sink broke...so to Menards for new supplies on that. Then grocery shopping I just hate spending money on groceries....

Ok men...... I have not received a response regarding the song for keroake night......dreamboat wants to know what song???? Actually he is requesting Tony Orlando and Dawn Knock three times......so men, you have forwarned, so start practicing your singing....... Girls if I have to suffer listening the dreamboat over here...then all of ya are gonna suffer along with me.... :teeth:

Will be back later....want to stay on Kathy's good girl list.. :goodvibes

Jeff your girls look so cute.
Lauri I loved what your son packed....totally priceless...
Linda thanks for filling me in on the pig poop :rolleyes: I was really getting worried that we may have to keep our distance... :rotfl2:

yah, yah...working on the tour...yada yada yada.... :p

I do scrapbooking, probably, 3x a year...but when I do it...I get about 8-10 pages done! For me to take out all the paraphenalia that goes along with scrapbooking....I really have to keep it out and do what I need to do. And my girlfriend and I go on a three day scrapping only (ie...no kids or dhs) weekend in February! That...is fun.
My Mount Everest of a goal is to come home from the cruise and throw a book together online to have books made for Christmas for everyone that was on the cruise with us...along with a DVD...I know...I am insane. :crazy:

[YippySkippy]

I do the same thing --- bang out a bunch of pages and then NOTHING for months!! It's a big ordeal, isn't it? I love your Mt. Everest Goal, that's so like me....gee, I think I'll tackle something HUUUUUGGGGGEEEE in a short amount of time, yeah, that's doable.

Can't wait to see the results though!

Lauri

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Lynn and Linda your both on the "GOOD GIRLS" list now, but Linda needs another post today to stay there :rotfl2: Just kidding, i know Linda has been busy on a special project so I have to give her some slack.

http://www.capecaribe.com/WebCam.htm

This is another web cam for watching the ship pull out. It is towards the end of the channel. when it disappears from sight here it is about 3to 4 minutes before the ship appears on the two palms cam.
Just thought I'd post it in case anyone was interested,

Kathy :wave:

Hi again, everyone.

Talk about obssessed :crazy: ... we just tried on our formal outfits and stood in front of the mirror to make sure everything works together :rotfl2: . Hoo boy, this is gonna be a good trip!

:bday: LORNA AND TO YOUR MOM, TOO!

Jeff, great pics. Elizabeth looks so stoked about going out with Daddy alone!

Denise, THANK YOU for asking about the Pig Poop :lmao: . Bill and I just kept looking at each other with twisted expressions trying to figure it out, but were, quite honestly, afraid to ask :rotfl: . (It's the same expression we have when we watch Lost).

Lauri, my bathroom needs cleaned, too. How 'bout it? You'll even get a trip to Ohio in the dead of fall ... gosh, what could possibly be better? :rolleyes1

Dream Boat Wally :love: , I think, at least from this end, that we won't be able to get Bill up on stage with you. However, I will be there in the front row when you sing! How 'bout giving us a little Abba?! :teeth:

[woogal]

That's a really cool camera angle, Kathy. Thanks for posting! :thumbsup2

[dkmjgal]

Kathy...please put the whip away...I'm here...I'm here!!!

We went away for a couple of nights with the kiddos and just got back a few hours ago. DH took a nap and I watched some HGTV and Food Network. We are heading out in a few for some thin crust pizza - yum!

Sarah - I'm SOOOO glad it looks like DS escaped the chicken pox - whew...that was a close one!

We have NOT received our docs yet.... :sad2:

YippySkippy - My DS John will be turning 8 in December. What is your son's name...I'll let John know to look for him.

Jeff - your girls are adorable ( and you cleaned up pretty nice yourself).

Going to go find the family now so we can head out. I'll catch up with y'all later.

Kelly

[disneediva]

Kathy, put the whip away pleaseeee, I was busy working on my special project today and was gone most of the day. I tried to do a little xmas shopping too, but no luck.

Wendy

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Wendy,
All the ladies who are working on the special project are exempt from the whip!!! At least for now. All the PM's are counting for them.

Pat, where are you and Steve this weekend?? Hope your all feeling better now.

Shell,
Glad you liked the web cam, just have to hope who ever has the control at the time of the ships passing keeps moving the camera along. Once they just let it sit. That was frustrating.

Yard work is all done, so is the poop scooping!!

Time to relax,
I'll check back soon to see who I can add to the "BAD" list.

Kathy :wave:

[J&C's Mom]

Hi,

it's me again-I'm stress eating-super fudge brownie ice cream-my baby (DS 16) has just driven himself and my DD-14 to his girlfriend's house to play a game called 'manhunt'...aaahhhh :crazy: ...His first time out in the dark driving..I will surley have an ulcer before I get to the cruise :rotfl2:

Okie :)

[pgfour]

Ok Kathy, you can put away that whip! I'm here with my new-hard-drive-installed laptop -- so watch out! I'll be posting so much that you'll be begging me to stop!!!! :rotfl:

Took me a long time to catch up! I see I'm only missed when it comes to alcohol and innuendos! :confused3 :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Yes, Shell, I did notice your "size doesn't matter" reference!

Jeff & Lynn -- great pics of the kids! Can't wait to see both of your crews Friday night! Are we all taking the DCL bus over to the port the next morning? I have to go back in old threads and read up on the procedure again.

No docs for us that I know of. Bill & I both stayed home from work yesterday, so they may have been in our drop box and our assistant may not have checked it. :confused3 I won't worry until the end of the week.

Sarah, glad to hear Dutch has been spared the pox. What a HUGE disappointment if you couldn't go.

Not much going on this weekend -- just went to eat at a buffet restaurant with my family (my brother is home from Philly for the week). I'm practicing gorging myself in preparation for the cruise! :lmao:

I'll again soon so I can earn brownie points with Kathy! :thumbsup2

You better get enough to share with all of us! Wasn't that always the rule in school? "Don't bring treats unless you have enough for everyone." I'm sure the same applies to valium & cruises, right?? :rolleyes1

Hey - some people were talking about bronners (or something like that?) Did you see this:
http://www.bronners.com/1114030.html

Pretty cool
That is awesome!! I may have to order that! :thumbsup2

[LindaBabe]

We shouldn't need valium ON the cruise, gang! IT's getting READY for the cruise that frays the nerves. And will I EVER get the last thing bought?

Now, i'm off to print address labels, tip envelopes, and uh, assemble a scrapbook.

OH - CRuise scrapbooks - Ive done books - after all three cruises i've been on - each one in two weeks or less. It's one of the easiest things you'll ever scrap. Here's the plan.

1. Cruise is a finite event with a known order of play (the itinerary)
2. I picked a colorscheme and bought enough cardstock, coordinating paper and embellishments for the whole book at once.
3. Don't have a die cut, so I print my title letters using word art in powerpoint, and hand cut them. I used the same font throughout, and print on the right side of the paper, then cut outside the line. Presto, the letters are preoutlined.
4. Irregardless of what cruise or size album, a cruise will pretty much have the same pages in some order or other.
a. title page
b. at port
c. welcome aboard
d. Our cabin
e. destination spreads - about the ports, excursions, etc.
f. shows and games

5. With the album framework in place, I can also plan what photos I need to be sure to capture.

See? you CAN do it!

[Michelle2]

Wow, Lindababe, that is good! I am going to have to use that too.

I notice on the cruise ship schedule that we are scheduled to dock at Anchorage in St. Thomas. Does anyone know where that is in relationship to Havensight? Is it close?
On this same cruise last year, we docked at Crown Bay, and we did not like that at all. We are hoping that Anchorage will be better than Crown Bay was.

Good job today, but I expect all those who didnt post today to post tomarrow and those who posted today to do the same tomarrow!!

I am off to watch the Grinch,
I'll say good night and will catch up with all of you tomarrow,

Kathy :wave:

[U2Pixies]

Well shopping was a total bust! I'm just going to wear the dress that is a wee bit too large for me. Do we stay seated all evening? :confused3
We traveled half way across FL to find something for me to wear. I'm like a tweenager - I'm between styles and sizes. I don't want to give in and dress my age (I'm not a quiter :goodvibes ) but I don't want to act like some of those ladies I saw at the mall today either! There were a lot of women in denial. Am I the only one who suffers from shopping-for-self-anxiety?

Lynn - I'm not teaching anymore. It wasn't a very easy transition for Cullen. Laura is in the stranger danger stage so she didn't handle it too well either. It was very stressful for everyone involved. We'll try it again when Cullen is a bit older.
Cullen is still under the weather. He still has a low grade fever and not eating much. Laura still has her cold and sounds raspy when she breathes. She still continues to her happy little self. She is such a happy little thing.
Thanks for asking. Loved your picture of Drew. He's so cute. I bet his grandma loves him ;)

Jeff - what great pictures. Emily reminds me of our dd when she was in dance classes! In fact, we have a picture of her with the same smile as your Emily! We have been through all the little girl stuff...ballet, tap, clogging, gymnastics, violin lessons, piano lessons. I miss those days. Enjoy them they go so fast. Before you know it you'll be singing "Butterfly Kisses"

Hi Kathy! :wave2:

Well, going to go make supper or go out to dinner. Not too sure what I want tonight. Oh yes I do...a dress that fits! So, that gives me two options to choose from. Eat more so the wee bit bigger fits, or have a piece of celery so the hips are no more!
Good evening all.
Pat :wave:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Pat,
Actually you have the perfect dress. Eat all you want on the cruise and save that dress for the last few nights when it will fit perfectly. :cloud9:

Better that than the other way around, if it were a perfect fit you would worry about eating too much and not being able to fit in it by the end of the cruise. :sad2:
You've got it made!!! :thumbsup2

night all,
Kathy

Kelly,

My son's name is Patrick, he'll be 8 in February so they are very close in age. I'm going to try to get him into the Lab, although he's scheduled to be in the Club. What is your son "in to"? Patrick likes Pokeman, Yugioh and Dancing.

I was hoping someone would ask that question! I know the site was posted early on but I didn't copy it down.
Thanks for asking! :thumbsup2

Linda - I'm totally impressed! I have a scrapbook that must be, let me see, at least 5 or 6 years old and it has two pages completed in it. :guilty: I love your outline and I'm feeling motivated. It's the creative portion of scrapbooking that intimidates me.

[LindaBabe]

Oh, PattyGirl, I'm not creative! :rotfl: I scrapbook like an engineer, and put the rest in photoalbums or in photoshows on my computer. I'll bring one of my books - you'll see!

Michelle, anchorage is not a town. It means that the Magic will be anchored in the bay, and not at one of the docks. We will have to tender in to the island. I am pretty confident that we will be tendering into Charlotte Amalie, which is the main shopping are in St. Thomas.

well I am happy everyone is off to a good start this morning. I know sundays people are at church early, so I didnt expect much until afternoon.

Tom, you will probably see Greg doing the same thing as you on deck 4. He has the tradition of sitting there watching the ocean and cat napping everyday for awhile. Not me, I may sit for 15 minutes sometime, but I am off to do what ever I can find to do while on board.

Goona be another nice day here, I hope mother nature saves some of this sunshine for the 25th.
well I am off to shop some today, maybe catch a movie. I want to see Flushed away. Some how that movie just seems to fit my personality.

I will be checking back later, so keep up the good work y'all.

Kathy :wave:

Well today is a nasty day and it is suppose to rain later today. Today we are not doing everything exciting. We are making alittle Thanksgiving dinner today since I am not making Thanksgiving this year. I also am wrapping all the toys we bought DS for :santa: :santa: Christmas. He must have been a really good boy :angel: :angel: !!! Well I am to enjoy my egg and cheese on a bagel that DH made for breakfast. Talk to you all later :wave: :wave: :wave: !!

[pgfour]

Good morning!

Working to make it onto Kathy's "good poster" list! :thumbsup2

A sunny, but frosty morning here so far. No plans to go anywhere today, so I'm going to pack as much as I can. (Don't think I'll be needing shorts or tank tops around here in the next two weeks!)

College football fans -- pretty wild week this week, huh? Shell, Bill: What's the line on the Ohio State / Michigan game this Saturday?????

OK -- weird cruise dream time: I had a dream we all went up to Michigan to visit Jan & Dave at their huge mansion on the Friday before the cruise!!!! We also took their big yacht out on a river for a while! I remember wondering about our poor planning by traipsing all over the country and packing and re-packing one day before the Magic sailed! :rotfl: There's even stress and a time crunch in my dreams!!!!!

Have a great day everyone! :grouphug: I'll try to check in later!!

Cheri, no idea on the spread for OSU/UofM, but it has to be close. Gonna be an AWESOME game! Isn't that weird how Jan and Dave were in both of our dreams? How did we both pick up on that? :confused3 Now I'm just waiting for Wendy to chime in with her own interpretation, just to confirm the telepathic link we all have :scared1:

Lauri, still waiting for you to get here and clean my bathroom! :rolleyes1 Oh, BTW ... I got your e-mail information for the list, just didn't have time to get the list updated and sent out on Friday. Will do tomorrow.

Kathy Lets not encourage Bill on this manager position, umm Bill do ya need a clip board? I can supply one for ya.... :)

[Dixielady908]

Goodmorning all: Thanks for the laughs this morning.....

Wendy....belive me, I'm sure with all our nutsy minds :crazy: we would have figured a way to get the darn luggage to the airport.!!!! :rotfl:

Nothing going on here today, I have told Wally that today is D-day....he needs to get all his clothes together so I can iron and pack. Other than that, no much goin on today.

Its only 8:30 here and these darn dogs are driven me nuts. It's like have two little kids that bicker and fight over a toy. :crazy: except this is over a chew.

Well tomorrow I am going to shampoo my carpeting and my house should be in pretty good order. Now if I can just keep Louie from peeing and the men in my house, to put things back in their place instead of my dining room table, then things should be fine.

Well be back later, I also want to stay on Kathy's good girl list :teeth:

[jd99]

I know I've probably gone over my quota..but....How the heck do you folks do door signs? :confused3 . My wife bought this color on magnetic paper at Michaels and the kids are coloring their own door signs... but if i want to do something from the computer i surely can't put the paper through the printer since it is like an inch thick (ok so I'm exaggerating). Did she buy the wrong stuff? Is there no such thing as magnetic paper that will fit through computer? Do you rip off the paper part and then restick it on the magnet? HELP!!!!

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Did anyone figure out yet if we did online docs, that we do/don't get docs in the mail???

Did 75% of my families packing-we won't be needing any shorts for the next 2 weeks either.

Have a great day...supposed to have flood watches here today....Lots/Lots of rain today :sad2:

OK, first, log out on your name (see the Log Out button in the red header bar?), then go to http://www.disboards.com/register.php? and follow the directions to get another log in name and such.

Okie, yes you'll still get docs in the mail because your luggage tags and other items will be in it.

Lauri, still waiting for you to get here and clean my bathroom! :rolleyes1 Oh, BTW ... I got your e-mail information for the list, just didn't have time to get the list updated and sent out on Friday. Will do tomorrow.

Sorry Woo, I've moved on to sewing costumes for "The Nutcracker". I have TOTALLY overextended myself before this trip. I'll be checking in throughout the day just to distract myself from sewing. Yeah, I'm efficient :rotfl2:

[Dixielady908]

Okay You :love: Dreamgirls :listen: I will get up and sing, but due to the fact :moped: I ride, I have a rep to protect, I will sing with Bob, and anybody else that will not don a tiara. We may be called the" DREAMBOATS". Shoot, I should of thought of this earlier, and had our T-shirts made up. Oh well hindsite is 20/20. Okay there is a statement that I made in this little post that was in a movie. The lucky lady that gets the right answer, will get a hug from me on the day we board ship. DREAM BOAT WALLY :banana:

Jd, yes the magnetic paper goes through the printer. It works best on the printers where the paper goes straight through - that is - that you load in the back and it comes out the front. I haven't tried it yet on my hp desk jet where it loads in the front and comes out the front. You print on the white side. test print on plaine paper first - those magnetic papers are expensive!

[dreamboatwally]

Hello fellow cruisers


This is actually Denise trying to see if Wally's name works on this....

[cruisemutt]

Ok, Jeff....I'm a graphic artist too. You have two options. You can buy adhesive backed paper from Staples or other office supply stores (Avery is the brand, I believe, but any adhesive backed paper will do....). If you've ever purchased name tags for conventions, this is the same stuff only on a computer friendly letter size. The other option is getting regular printer paper and a spray adhesive like 3m super 88. This is a sticky, messy creppy way of doing it so opt for door #1. All said and done...just squeegee the printed piece onto your magnet face. I'm kinda lucky--I have access to a large format printer with adhesive backed vinyl and a large laminator... I do that sort of thing every day so its a lil easier for me.

Anyways...hope I helped ya out...

Thanks. I had a lucid moment just before DW went out shopping and said "maybe we should buy adhesive paper like nametag paper but one big sheet and attach it" so I appeciate your confirming this and now I really feel like an idiot for asking! :rotfl:

Kelly,

My son's name is Patrick, he'll be 8 in February so they are very close in age. I'm going to try to get him into the Lab, although he's scheduled to be in the Club. What is your son "in to"? Patrick likes Pokeman, Yugioh and Dancing.

Lauri

Lauri -

John loves Star Wars, music (dancing) and karate. He is thinking he wants to stay in the club. Last May (2005) when we cruised he was in the club and really liked it. We told him he could decide...if he feels the kids in the club are too young then we will move him up since it's only a month until he turns 8. Are you guys going to the "meet" at 2:45 at The Promenade? We can get the boys together then.

Denise, I'm doing crockpot dinner too. I found the easiest recipe this morning for pork chops in the crock. Brown the chops, put in the crockpot, cover with 1 box prepared pork flavored stuffing, and top that with 1 can of applie pie filling. It sounds weird, but oh wow ... the house smells good!

[dkmjgal]

Hi Everyone!

We just got back from Church and our after Church lunch with our friends...Taco Bell of all places.

Here's a question for everyone to put their 2 cents in. For those of you who have cruised before...what would you say are your absolute "Must Haves" when cruising? Now I am being serious here..I thought maybe this would be helpful to those who haven't cruised....and those of us (The Gallagher's) who seemed to have misplaced their list from the last cruise. So besides Tiaras...what else would you not leave home without for a cruise?

For me...absolutely a must is the over the door shoe hangar for the bathroom door. I LOVED having that on our last cruise.

Next.......

Just some advice. When we cruised last August DD who was nearly 8 chose to stay in club because she doesn't like being the youngest anywhere. Well it proved to be a mistake because she felt like everything was a bit too young for her there and mostly enjoyed her time in the lab when they had the club kids go in there. What she hated the most was time when they sat round and either told stories or sang (oh the horrors). :rotfl:

[cruisemutt]

Hey everyone....
I'm still living vicariously off of other peoples boards as well....I came upon this post on the board of our dear Nov. 18th friends...

Its the list of movies that will be shown on their cruise....I'm imagining that its going to be very similar to our selections:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Cars
The Prestige
The Guardian
Santa Clause 3
Chicken Little
Eight Below
Narnia
Shaggy Dog
The Wild
Stick It
Step Up
Invincible

Its just terrible of me being such a nosey mutt but hey, any info I can get for OUR family :banana: ....I'm going to!!
Enjoy!~

[mom x4,grandma x4]

I'm here Denise,

I had to go and watched Flushed away, you know the movie about Sewer rats. I figured that would help peepare me for the cruise meet :rotfl2:

You ladies are all on the "GOOD GIRLS" list today!!

This has been an awesome day for posting.
we have been laughing about the newest singing sensations, Tiara Bob and the Dreamboats!!! :love:

We ladies need to be groupies!!! for you youngster out there that means fans of the group!! We can sit in the front row and scream :eek: and faint :faint: when they sing on stage, then rush them for autographs!!! :worship:
That should cause some excitement!!!

Bill have you accepted the job of manager??? Someone has to be in charge ya know. :thumbsup2


Ok, have you guys decided what song your gonna sing yet???
Plus last August they had Karoake more than once, which time are you gonna do this, I want to come and watch!!! Your manager needs to call all our rooms and leave messages when your gonna perform so we wont miss ya!!

See Bill, we need ya already. :rolleyes1

OK Dreamboat, are you referring to the "I have a rep to protect" quote? The only movie I can think of is Adrian Zmed in "Grease 2." That seems pretty obscure so I'm sure I don't have the right movie. . . :confused3

Just checking in this afternoon.

Done packing DD's stuff (that took 15 minutes!); now on to my stuff.

Also have to clean up the basement and move DD's art area so DH can set up the Bowflex. -- Looks like I won't have enough time to get into "the best shape of my life" before the cruise. :rolleyes1

Well, back to work. . . :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[U2Pixies]

Thanks mutt for the site! Much appreciated.

Kelly - great question about must haves. The answers will really help us out. Kathy has been my cruise mentor for the past couple of months and I feel I have somewhat of a handle on this packing thing due to her suggestions. Any extra ideas will help us out.

Just what do you put on your door signs? I was thinking of our names and our hometown location. Is that correct?

When do the men sing? Where does this all happen? Wow, Stephen has a beautiful voice. You should insist he join the group!

Lynn - Don't over do the gifts for Drew. At his age he won't have a clue as to what is going on. The only thing they enjoy playing with is the empty box. Do you have the baby einstein videos for Drew? Cullen and Laura both love them. Laura's favorite it Baby Monet. I noticed you wrote something about the Elmo videos.

Stacey, who is 9, will be going to the Lab. Will she enjoy that?
Have a good afternoon :wave: Pat

Thanks Jeff. I was telling my DH(Don) what you said and he feels that our DS should move up into the Lab as well. He will be 8 in December and I think the kids in the Club will probably be too young for him. We'll see if we can convince him of that.

Good Afternoon :banana: :banana: :banana: ,

Pat: I have Baby Einstein DVD's and Drew does not like to watch them. He loves Elmo and we have 6 or 7 DVD's that my sister-in-law gave us. We got him 4 toy gifts and afew clothes. I am afraid of what our families got him :scared1: :scared1: !!!

Linda: Come on over!!!

Well it's dinner time talk to you all later!!

[disneediva]

Stacey, who is 9, will be going to the Lab. Will she enjoy that?
Have a good afternoon :wave: Pat

Pat - We'll have to get Stacey and my DD Elizabeth (8) together at the meet so that they can "know" each other before they hit the lab at all. With my DD that makes ALL the difference as to whether she has fun or just tolerates being there. She didn't make a friend on the last cruise until her last day (that seems to happen on our vacations all the time) and then was sad it was over. So this time, I'm bound and determined to see that she has opportunities to meet kids on days one and two so that she has friends throughout the week. It's funny because she comes off as shy at first..but get her going... Her teachers (both 1st grade and 2nd) have said she is the most social kid in her class and one of the few who literally gets along with everyone. She's honestly just a sweet little girl (unless she turns on the drama meter for her mom and me).

Hi Everyone,

I fear I am in Kathy's bad books - sorry....I will try to make up for it.

Sounds like Tiara Bob and the Dreamboats is a go! Love it! :cheer2:

Glad to hear everyone (OK, not you Bob) is stressing as much as I am about getting everything together! I've put most of my and DSs stuff in the spare room and add to the pile as I think of things. DH is another matter. As long as he puts his semi-formal outfit with our stuff I will be happy. He can throw all his other stuff in whenever he wants. We rented a tux for him so I don't have to worry about that! He does still need to pick up his pirate outfit from the costume store. Mine still has to come from the lady on ebay - and it is giving me a bit of indigestion. If it does not arrive in time I am going to be severly ticked. I let her know in plenty of time when I needed it so fingers crossed!

Picked up a few cute t-shirts for DS from the Disney store today. With it being fall/winter up here it is easy to get the summer-type stuff on sale. At least for kids. For me, I am hoping to pick up a few things when we get down to Orlando. I am going to start my list of things to do after we arrive but before the cruise next, as my 'before we leave' stuff is almost done. I actually have the day off tomorrow so am hoping to finish up most of the outstanding stuff.

I got the pillowcase and fabric markers for DS's pillowcase. This is the first time I have done this but liked the pics others have posted. I need to find a place around here that can embroider his name on the case - a job for tomorrow. I'll then put the whole thing in a zip lok with the markers and some cardboard and hope for the best! I am also getting my pedi tomorrow and got my hair cut on Saturday - so a few more things off the list!

Hope everyone has a good night!

Gotta run - will try and post tomorrow.

just taking a break from wrapping presents..

[LindaBabe]

Just finished up cleaning up the kitchen after DH cooked fried chicken - oh I love it - but the mess! That's why I won't cook it. Heaven must be a place filled with wonderful food like fried chicken where I wll never gain a pound.

Wally, the quote has to be 'I have a rep to protect' but since I never go to movies, I haven't got a clue what it might be from. How about half a hug ;-)

Sarah, we leave on this Friday - when are y'all going to be down there?

ttfn - working on autograph book!

[woogal]

Denise ... that recipe I made today is OUTSTANDING. I've never had pork chops literally fall apart! Try it!

DBWally: I knew that "I have a rep to protect" was the quote, but didn't know what movie it was from. Doesn't matter ... a pack of wild mice ... ducks ... dogs ... won't keep me from getting my hug! :rotfl2: Oh, and don't forget that Kelly's Don is part of the singing group, too!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Well DS just rented a movie so gonna watch it with him, hopefully we will be at 5000 when it is over!!!

Keep up the great posting everyone.

I will check in to say goodnight later,

kathy :wave:

[dreamboatwally]

Okay, My Dears :love: Linda, you are so lucky, I have never given half a hug, and do not know how to give one, so I guess due to the fact I like honesty in people.You will get a full DBW hug. :love: Shell, my dear....you have a hug reseved in your name. :love: Wally :banana: :banana: :banana:

[TIGGER41681]

Does anyone watch AFV? Did anyone see the "No Barking Zone?" This guy puts on a barking collar and trys to get the shock level up to 6! He's dying by level 3! But he goes get to level 6, with pain too.

[dkmjgal]

Wow...less than 10 posts to go until 5000!!!

Just doing my part to get us there.

Ok...so NO ONE has any helpful "Must Haves" to bring on the ship :confused3 ...c'mon....there must be someone out there that absolutely, cannot go on the ship without................... :Pinkbounc

I'll check back shortly!

Jeff - Stacey is NOT shy at all. She is very outgoing and a take charge kind of gal. I'm sure she and Elizabeth will get along just fine. I'm going to see Stacey in the a.m. and I'll tell her I found her a friend for the cruise! She'll be very happy about that. That should put me on the favorite grandma list! Does Elizabeth use the computer? If so, maybe I can get Stacey to e mail her and they can get to "meet" one another before hand.

Lynn - I hope you didn't think I was being a smart mouth about the gifts for Drew. I was simply sharing some experienced info with you. As far as baby einstein videos, Cullen watched them from day one. Laura took to them slowly. There are a few she just can't get into. Our dd's stepson doesn't like them at all. Cullen's favorite character is Elmo. He has all kinds of Elmo items here as well as at his house. He just doesn't watch the Elmo videos for some reason. Right now he's into Mickey Mouse Club House! He LOVES that show. I'm looking forward to the video coming out. Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot diggity Dog! :banana: :banana:

Going to watch amazing race...forgot it was on!
