Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Denise,
dont worry I wont give a second thought to all of you slaving away with work and housework!!!
Minnie is staying home this time. DS, will be here to take care of her when he is not at work. I didnt want to use a dog sitter or kennel this time. She is just getting adjusted to us and her new home. It will be stressful enough for her to be without us for the week. :guilty:
But on this cruise I will have to leave her with someone :confused3 because DS will be coming along too.
Hope everyone is having a great saturday!!

We have been working around here getting ready for company.We may go and see a movie tomarrow.

[cruisemutt]

Morning folks! Hope everyones going to have a great Sunday... It's gonna be sunny here, low humidity and around 80. For me, thats as good as it gets.

Wow, what a busy Saturday here...I finished my first ever door sign...if it posts correctly, gimme some feedback--I value your opinions (not ONE banana in sight, I promise!!). I made the final payment on our cruise so I'm free and clear to set sail---woohoo! I also did what I hope won't be a foolish thing---check my tickers, you'll see. Why didn't any of you tell me that cruising was addictive???

Anyways....here's the door sign for what its worth...this is for Castaway Cay day and I have 6 more in the wings if this one doesn't suck.

Bill,
I love the sign. Of course Donald is my favorite Duck of all times!!!
I like the black and white background. It really sets off the characters.
But I think it should have one tiny yellow :banana: in the corner. kinda like an arists signature??? :banana: Maybe one of those with the Mickey ears on or a pirate: hat.

Congratualtions on the RCCL cruise!! :Pinkbounc

We have toyed with that ideas too, but we have 4 DCL cruises booked already, so no time right now to try a new line.

Hope everyone is having a good day.
we are going to the movies :3dglasses and see the new superman movie. we have heard the special effects are quite good,so we'll see.

We went out and bought a nice pillow bed for minnie. She has been sleeping on a towel on the floor by the bed. She seems to like it pretty good. But we'll see if she will sleep on it tonight. It is in the family room today for her to adjust to it.
Tiggerking, before you say it, she doesnt want to sleep in the bed!!!
It is an adjustable bed and she is afraid of it because it moves up and down, which also makes noise!!
We also bought her 2 new toys this weekend for inside the house.

enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone,
kathy :wave:

Now you all know why I outlawed pumpkin carving at Halloween in my house years ago ... I'd be making the traditional square-eyes-triangle-nose-smiley-mouth-with-3-teeth on my pumpkin ... Bill would grab his dremel and carve the Mona Lisa in his. :crazy:

[Dixielady908]

:thumbsup2 Bill the picture is great....I love Donald and the parrot.. I do agree with Kathy, you really do need to put a banana for your signature!!!

Not much going on here..just hanging out. I got up early and drove to Chicago to visit my dad for a few hours. We went out for breakfast now back home to chill and get things in order for the dreaded work week ahead.

Have a great Sunday fellow Turkey travelers :rolleyes1

Bill - the sign is excellent!!

Kathy - have fun on your cruise - try and find out how long the pirate ship will be at CC - I really want to see it in Nov! The pkg is not here yet, but I imagine it will be along any day. I sent you an envelope on Friday (sorry about the delay :sad2: ).

Woo - thanks for the Canadian smilie eh!

It is pouring rain here - which I am OK with because the lawn is looking very brown! :umbrella:

Hope everyone has a great last few hours of the weekend before Monday morning :surfweb:

[cruisemutt]

Thanks for the imput, everyone. Seems like you folks like the sign so I'll keep at it... Drawing those things by hand takes time so I'll be well occupied for a few weeks anyways.
As for the dancin nannys....I have special plans in the works for them....and those plans involve EVERYONE! (scared yet?).
Oh, c'mon....you're all closet dancin fruit and vegetable fans....just admit it---its the first step to recovery.http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/dancingfruits0nm.gif

Have a great afternoon....I'm off to wash the car and walk the dog.
Enjoy....
Bill

[DutchsMommy]

You drew that by HAND?!?!?! :dancer: Holy crap!! That's really amazing. Now I feel really bad for not being able to even clipart a few things together. :rolleyes:


And while we're on the subject of dancing fruit - perhaps the official DIS drink for the cruise could be the Dancin' Banana Dacquiri?? :teeth:

[Dixielady908]

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: Hello, my name is Denise, :banana:

[TIGGER41681]

Good Monday Morning to You All,
Last night was a nightmare DS had me up at 2am and from then on I was up and down. I am sooooo tired :surfweb: !!! This weekend we really did not do anything because it was bad weather. Today I am taking DS for a long walk and we are going to sit by the pool :beach: today because it is suppose to be soooooooooo nice :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: !! Well I hope you all had a great weekend and I will talk to you all tomorrow!!
Lynn princess:

[DutchsMommy]

Lynn, remember what they say - sleep when the baby sleeps. Those are truly words to live by - the laundry etc can wait! Hope you have a good day today.

Well, I spent alot of time last night checking out pirate outfits on ebay. I think we are going to splurge and get some really nice outfits. That way we can wear them for Halloween and the cruise and every other event we have to dress up in costume for the rest of our lives LOL. They are pretty cool though. I still havn't decided whether to get DH and DS tuxes for formal night - I don't really want to spend $$ on items we likely won't wear again, but the price is right on ebay and I figure we could wear them and then just sell them back again. So.....we'll see on that one. DH's car show went well over the weekend, although he was pretty beat by the time he got home. At least now he will be around the house a bit more. We are hoping the exposure will lead to more work for his division - fingers crossed! I went to visit him on Saturday and DS stayed with Grampy, so that was a nice break. It was also our anniversary on Saturday, but we didn;t get to do too much as it was the car show - so we'll have to try and get out for a nice dinner or something next weekend. Other than that, not too much new here. We got a bit of rain on the weekend, but not enough to really help my lawn. Oh well, hopefully it's hardy! I am a bit sick of work right now and am REALLY looking forward to our vacation - even if it is 4 months away. :rolleyes:

Hope everyone has a great day - talk to you soon.

Sarah :banana:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Howdy,
hope everyone is having a great day.

no news from me today, just keepin us bumped up.

Bill DH thought your sign was awesome!!! :thumbsup2

Kathy :wave:

Sarah ... that was brilliant! Dancin' Banana Daquiri's! Nice job .. .you get a gold star for the day! :thumbsup2

And "Holy Crap" ???!!! When did you turn into Frank Barone? :rotfl2:

[TiggerKing]

Bill: The sign looks okay, but the lines are a little sloppy. You think you could put a little more effort into it next time? ;)

It was a hectic weekend for Lisa and I. We lost power for about two hours on Friday. Saturday, spent most of the day working around the house until a severe thunderstorm came through and knocked out power at 5:30 p.m. It was not restored until 3:30 a.m., and it was an extremely hot day. So, I ended up not being able to go to sleep until 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning, knowing that I had a 3 hour drive occurring on Sunday afternoon to go to a client site. So, needless to say, I was a tired puppy yesterday, and am still tired today. But, that is life!

I hope that everyone has a wonderfull week. Visits will be minimal this week due to being on a tight schedule, but I will try and check in at least every night!

[Dixielady908]

:sunny: Happy Monday.....

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I have a question regarding birth certificates. DH does not have a middle name nor initial. So on his BC of course there is no name or initial. However, years and years ago, he started using his "confirmation name" (actually the initial) when signing his name. So on his drivers license there is a middle initial. Now my question, when showing his BC and drivers license will this be a big issue? We dont want any problems once we get there.

Thanks
Denise

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Denise,
I dont think they will even notice a middle initial. But if you are reallly concerned I would call DCL and ask for sure. When we have gone they barely glanced at out birth certificates. In fact one time she didnt even pick them up to look at them. she just saw we had them and that was enough.

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

kathy :wave:

[TIGGER41681]

Good Tuesday Morning to you All,
How are you all today!! Yesterday was a day that I don't wanted to crawl back into bed because everything I did was wrong. Went to the pool and thought I did a good job putting on sun screen I was VERY wrong. I got the Irish tan SUN BURN!!! Today I going to attempt the pool again :beach: and hopeful with get tan and not burnt!!!

Denise: I don't think your DH will have a problem at all with his BC. I would call DCL and explain the problem to them.

Well have a great day and stay cool it is suppose to be HOT :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: !!!

[LindaBabe]

WHAT an amazing sign, Bill! If I had that drawing, It would be framed on my livingroom wall! Do you take commissions???

We've made a command decision - no excursions - we're going to wing it! I'm a little nervous but it worked out great on Cozumel . . .

Does anyone have a list of all the DIS families on our cruise? I'm thinking about working on a little memento.

[DutchsMommy]

Denise: I don't like your DH will have a problem at all with his BC. I would call DCL and explain the problem to them.

Lynn princess:

Lynn - was this a freudian slip?? Denise's DH will be crushed that you don't like him ;) :rotfl:

[cruisemutt]

Hi folks....thank you all very much for all your comments on the door sign---I really appreciate it. I started on my POTC night sign---hopefully it will work out as well(anyone like Mickey and Pluto?).

Linda....I know my wife has a copy of the list of our merry lil group...others may have a more updated version.

Bob....I appreciate that you want to keep me working and I'll try...I'll try very hard to live up to all your expectations.....<deep breath---sigh...> So much to do.

Have a great tuesday and some of the tickers are celebrating the 4 month mark...so....happy 4 months!!!
Bill

[TIGGER41681]

Lynn - was this a freudian slip?? Denise's DH will be crushed that you don't like him ;) :rotfl:
I am sooooooooo sorry it was a little slip!!! I meant to say that your DH should have no problem with the BC. I feel terrible:sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: !! I need to get some sleep :surfweb: DS has was up again all night.

[woogal]

Ugh ... it's heating up again here in Ohio! :sunny: Believe it or not, Saturday it was just chilly enough that I had to wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt to dinner, plus we put the BIG comforter back on the bed just to keep warm! Now today we're pushing 90. Guess we'll have to close up the house and put on the A/C when we get home :sad2:

So another day down. I don't think this cruise is EVER gonna come! I'm starting to look for a nice doggie hotel for Guido to stay in ... no kennel is good enough for my baby! He's used to a certain amount of daily/hourly pampering, spoiling, and control over the humans :dog2:

I do have a somewhat abbreviated list of everyone, but Jamie has the expanded-super-duper-everything-you-could-ever-want-to-know list! She and I discussed actually trying to post it on here as a jpeg awhile back. Would anyone have any objections to that?

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Shell,
i think it is a great idea to post the list of all of us for everyone to have a look at.
On previous cruises we did this and it was very helpful when we wanted to find someones room to contact them. Also it helped to get to know who is with who before we meet. It can be rather confusing once we all meet, trying to keep everyone straight.
I hope you guys manage to do this for us, that would be great,
Thankyou,
Kathy :wave:

[runa00]

its taken me a while to catch up! been gone for some time now! the cruise is not coming fast enough but we are also going to wdw for a week before for dbf's mom's birthday celebration and we are trying to get that all situated but alas, no one is a disboard and passporter hog like me! so needless to say last week we finally booked our rooms (akl) but have not made any dinner ressies (yikes! its thanksgiving week people!!!!!). as far as dinner i am so excited to link ressies and get that dining rotation if you guys can work your "magic". im thinking about booking palo's for the first night as i think it would be a good way to segway into family vacation the week before to couples vacation for the cruise. also parot cay is def not my favorite restuarant!!!! what do you guys all think? also as far as palo's goes if any one wants to book brunch with us we will be more than happy to do that if people want to go there more than once (sigh, how much do i love palo brunch? yum!) anyhow, let me know and i will do that asap.

as far as pirate's costumues go: target has slip on sneakers with metal pirates on them for the ladies on sale this week for $11, walmart has belts for the ladies for $5 with coins attached. target also has poc tank tops for women but not on sale, i forget how much they are. i got my outfit at hot topic in the mall, although not authentic pirate gear, it looks like it!

as far as the spreadsheet with all of our info, is there a way we can put the pics that everyone posted on there as well? that would be great! im going to try to follow the directions that everyone was so kind to send me and post some pics of me and dbf!

later nannas!

I am coming to realize that is week is not my week :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: . I just did a load of wash :laundy: and my washing machine decided to make brown marks all over my DS clothes. And he has such CUTE clothes. I only lost a few bids and sleep and plays. It seems to DH that we are going to Sears tonight to get a new one!! I am telling you when you own a house it is one thing after other!! Well I am off to Kohl's to get some more sleep and play outfits and bids for DS. What a day and it is only 8:30am!! I hope it get better :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: !!!

Hi everyone :wave:

I have an idea of how to do this posting of all of us with pics. Give me a little time. If it works out, it will be very cool! Now I just have to choose between the pic of Ron in the tutu or the coconits. :rotfl:

[runa00]

i say both!!! have you guys seen the mosaics that one of the ladies makes on the main boards out of all of the pictures people send to her? they are really truly amazing. does anyone know how to do this? maybe when we come back we can make one of just our cruise for all of us, what do you think?

[TiggerKing]

Well, now you spoiled my surprise! Actually, DW and I discussed this after we ordered our poster of the ship mosaic (I had multiple pictures in there). The software he uses is freeware, and I had thought about doing something for our group after we get back. Have everyone give me a CD with all of their pictures on it (the ones that they would be willing to share) and then do a mosaic of it and have CafePress do the printing for us.

Oh, BTW, here is a pic of DW and I on our 11/04 cruise. I didn't know if I had it in photobucket or not, but just checked. Don't let it scare you too bad!

Shell: I say go with the tutu....love that picture of Ron!! :rotfl2:

Tiggerking: Great picture of you and your wife.

I like the idea of doing something with our pictures. I think that would be such a great keepsake of all our new friends.

I dont have to be at work until 1pm today. I have to work 4 hours on Saturday so "no overtime". But I am enjoying my free morning.

Have a great day everyone and one more day closer... :cheer2:

Hello everyone! Doing some catchup......

I think I read somewhere in this thread about limo companies.....so is Happy Limo the one to go with or should I research others?

Lynn, My parents had this problem and it may not be the washing machine but it could be your water supply. It turns out the street sweepers came through one day and it somehow affected their water supply. They called the water authority, they came, checked it out and gave them some sort of detergent that removed the brown stains caused by the water....just a thought.

Woogal, The idea of posting a spreadsheet would be great. I don't know if I've shared our room #, let me know if you need more info on us.

Bill, your door sign was amazing!!!!

Happy Hump day!!
Danielle

[LindaBabe]

How do you find your room number? never mind, I found it.

[DutchsMommy]

I am find with the spreadsheet. Thanks to everyone for posting their pics - it is really great seeing people 'in person'. I am really sick of this project I am working on at work and the cruise can't get here soon enough! 4 months doesn't seem too bad. The only bad thing is that means it will also almost be winter. :guilty:

Well....here's looking forward to Friday :banana: :banana:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Tiggerking,
Great picture!! It is nice to see what my next door neighbors look like :thumbsup2
I think the idea of a mosiac is an awesome idea!!! :woohoo: We would love to put our pics on a CD and let you take it from there. Be sure and give us details later, like where to send the CD??? Cst of printing copies???

DH is almost home so gotta run,

do you know how to get the freeware? i think they would be great presents for people!

[TiggerKing]

do you know how to get the freeware? i think they would be great presents for people!

The link is in the thread about the DIS photomosaics that was started by rtphokie. I have not gone back and looked at the link and the actual software as yet, but I am pretty sure I remember him stating it is freeware. Then, he teamed up with a company called Cafe Press that will do the prints on an as-needed basis with no minimums required. I think I paid about $20 including shipping for a poster sized copy of the ship mosaic that he created. You can order cards, mugs, etc. from them.

[Dixielady908]

:) Danielle:

I posted some questions regarding limo companies. I had "booked" with FL tours, but wasnt happy with the attitude I got on the phone when booking, plus we are a party of 13 and he was charing per person in the van. It was about 70.00 more than what I had seen on their web site. I called HappyLimo and they were very nice and more accomadating. So I booked with them. One van will fit our whole party plus our luggage. It was 381.00 round trip. So I booked with them and cancelled FL tours.

Hope this helps.

[QUOTE=TiggerKing]Well, now you spoiled my surprise! Actually, DW and I discussed this after we ordered our poster of the ship mosaic (I had multiple pictures in there). The software he uses is freeware, and I had thought about doing something for our group after we get back. Have everyone give me a CD with all of their pictures on it (the ones that they would be willing to share) and then do a mosaic of it and have CafePress do the printing for us.

do you know how to get the freeware? i think they would be great presents for people!

Do you need new pictures for the mosaic?? I have CD's if you need them!!

Good Thursday Morning to You All,
Well it is going to be a VERY HOT :sunny: :sunny: day here in NY We are heading into a heatwave :sunny: :sunny: !! Well today we are going to Sears to get a new washer and dryer. Well I hope everyone has a good day and stay cool :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 !!

Kathy: You are making me cry because your cruise is so close and I have to wait 4 months :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

Lynn: We are going to do the mosaic after the cruise with pictures that everyone takes on the cruise. So, at this point we don't need anything.

Hope everyone is having a great week. It has been a good week even though I am traveling. I am in south Georgia very close to where a lot of my aunts & uncles live. So, last night I was able to have dinner with them and enjoy a real home cooked country meal. I had peas, creamed corn, cornbread, mashed potatoes, country fried steak, and homemade banana pudding (not that instant stuff)! :cool1: I was one happy camper! Of course, it didn't fit on my diet, but I wasn't turning down that stuff!

Supposed to be in the mid-90s AGAIN today down here. I had to go out and buy a small desk fan yesterday because our office has a huge window that makes it very hot.

Have a great day!

Hello everyone! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

We are up in Traverse City, MI this week on a family vacation. It was a great practice-run for packing for the cruise! :)

It took my first free 20 minutes of Internet just to get caught up with posts! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to view the pictures, so I can't wait to see them.

Just wanted to say "Hi" and hope everyone is having a great week.

(I also needed to post some :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: !!! I've been trembling from the dancing fruit withdrawals!!!!)

Cheri :banana: :yay: :banana:

[woogal]

Good morning everyone ...

Well, I just went through about 50 pages of posts to make sure I had everything I needed to start this little list project. My gosh ... what an "eccentric, eclectic" group we are! In those pages, I read about or saw:
Fluffernutters
Wild turkeys
Dutch picking his nose on Castaway
Dancing bananas :banana:
Pictures of Lampy that I must have pushed out of my conscience mind (but, I do admit ... great legs! :rotfl2: )
The adventures of Minnie from her first sighting to moving into her new home
Kohl's
Scrapple
Pirate costumes
Dancing nannies :banana:
The arrival of New Baby Tigger41681
Woo begging Mutt for a puppy :dog2:
Cold weather
Hot weather
A super-sweet Mustang convertible
Dancing nanas :banana:
Welcomes to Andy, Danielle, Cheri and Runa
1:01 p.m. "meeting" at Signals
Dancing banana withdrawals and 12-step programs :banana: *NOTE: Did not last
Getting "edumacated" on the cruise
Coconits
"Have a great vacation!"/"Welcome back from vacation!"
Lab puppies sleeping under a recliner
Woo begging Mutt for a puppy :dog:
Dancing bananas :banana:


Well, you get the idea!

I was doing all that to get started on this list with photos (no bosses here today at work :teeth: ). Once I get to a point where it's organized, I'll post to let you know what I'm missing. I may try to post an abbreviated version on the board and then e-mail the complete version to whomever wants it. Will let you know!

[TiggerKing]

What? No red-eye gravy? :rotfl:

Silly Yankee....red eye gravy is a breakfast food, not a dinner food!

[runa00]

does anyone know where we can get tropical shirts that have other pictures in them if you know what i mean? like a beer themed tropical shirt? thanks!

Hi again, everyone:

I'm working on this project and decided that the easiest way for me to do it is on one of my graphics programs. That means that when finished, I will convert it to a pdf and e-mail it to whomever wants a copy. Everyone should be able to view a pdf on your computer.

Here's who I have pictures of: Kathy & Greg, Sarah & family, Tonya & family, Linda & Bruce, Wendy & Mike, Bob & Lisa, Denise & Wally, Ron & family, Lynn & the baby, Cheri & Bill, and runa. If you want your picture included on this listing, e-mail it to me at woogal@hotmail.com. Refer to the DISBoard in the subject line so I don't delete it!!!

The list includes the following items (where I could find them): screen name, real names, who you're travelling with (kids and guests), hometown, cabin#, late or main seating, and special events/celebrations. If you have anything that you'd like included or NOT included, e-mail me (above).

I'd like to complete this next Monday, so hopefully I'll hear from you by then!

[DutchsMommy]

Thanks for doing all this for us Shell!
And...I actually forgot about the 1:01pm meet at Signals! :thumbsup2 :drinking1

Today has been a fairly trying day and I am SO looking forward to our trip. And to top it all off I just realized I got pen all over my nice shirt/cardigan - tick me off!!!!!! :furious:

Oh well, it's almost the weekend and there is a liquor store downstairs so maybe I'll have a nice glass of wine tonight when I get home....before DH makes me play some convoluted pretend role playing game. :rolleyes:

I got a nice surprise in the mail last night. My box from Disney Shopping.com arrived (thanks Kathy!!!). We have the hawaiian-matching-mouse-themed outfits for one of the casual nights - do they still do tropical/mexicalafagilistic (whatever) on one night?? If so, we'll wear them then. I also got a really nice Mickey polo top in lime green (good deal) but it is kinda big so I am going to try and shrink it. I am quite good at shrinking things I don't want to so I figure this should be a no-brainer :rolleyes1 Also got Dutch some Buzz and Dash stuff. NOw I just have to start keeping an eye out for fun stuff to put in his basket I am going to get Shirley at Perfect Gift to do up. I think he will really enjoy it. Does anyone know if they sell the Lanyard started kits at the Disney Store in the States?? Or is it from the Parks only? I think we might get him one of those so he can try out pin trading on the ship. We didn't go that far on our last trip to WDW, but I think he is a bit older now and would enjoy that (and he sure ain't getting my pins LOL!!!!!!!).

I've got our rental car, hotel and airlines tickets so I am happy about that. I also have a few things to do in Cocoa Beach for the few days before when we are there (arriving Thurs around 1pm). I need to look into our excursions on St Maarten and St Thomas but I have a pretty good idea what we are doing - Lotterie Farm on St Maarten and Coral World/Coki Beach on St Thomas. We are going to do these on our own so I want to see if I can get some scoop on them before we go.

OK, enough blah blah blah from me. Talk to you all tomorrow! :grouphug:

[TIGGER41681]

Hey Everyone,
Today I learned that at 3 months a child can start teething and it is not fun :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: I would have never thought DS would be teething this early. He is not happy :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: !!

Shell: I loved the list :banana: :banana: :banana: !!!

Woogal: I will e-mail our info before Monday :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc !!

:) Happy Thursday fellow turkey cruisers:


I am sooooo happy that tomorrow is Friday. We have been working short staffed for about 2 weeks now and I am really tired. Today one of the ladies I work with, didn't come in. She got some upsetting news. Her son is in the Army and has been in Iraq since August last year. This week he was to be making his way back to Kuwait, then start his journey home. Well today she found out that he has to stay longer. At this point she is not sure how long, :confused3 but it could most likely be another 6 months. Gotta love the military. So she is having a hard time with this news.

We are getting some rain now. So we will see about cutting the lawn tomorrow after work. It needs it.

Have a great evening everyone.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Lynn: Congrats on number 100. I am getting close to 1000, so I am having to keep watch. Who knows, I may even pull out a Dancing Nanna on my 1000th.

Well, it has been a long week, and it looks like it will be ending soon. My team and I will probably leave south Georgia after lunch and head north. Only a 3 hour drive home, so not too bad. I consider it training for the 6 hour drive to Orlando in November since it is along the same route!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

I'm still here, Kathy! You can't get rid of me so easily!!! Have a great Magical cruise. I'll be thinking of you.

Shell -- I sent you an e-mail with a pic of Dave and me in St. Thomas last September. Sorry, I didn't realize you wanted "DIS" in the subject line.

Cheri -- When you were in Traverse City this week, we were not too far from there -- in the Petoskey area. We spent last weekend on Mackinac Island, before Petoskey. Had a great time.

Bill -- what a wonderful gift you have; love your Donald Duck poster. I hope you have a job that allows your creative talents to flourish.

When is the 1:01 p.m. "meeting" at Signals??? Count me in. Just let me know which day! Don't know how I missed that post(s).

Tomorrow we get one of our precious grandchildren for the weekend. Trying to stay cool in hot, humid Michigan.

Jan

[Dandy8]

:) Danielle:

I posted some questions regarding limo companies. I had "booked" with FL tours, but wasnt happy with the attitude I got on the phone when booking, plus we are a party of 13 and he was charing per person in the van. It was about 70.00 more than what I had seen on their web site. I called HappyLimo and they were very nice and more accomadating. So I booked with them. One van will fit our whole party plus our luggage. It was 381.00 round trip. So I booked with them and cancelled FL tours.

Hope this helps.

Denise
Thank you Denise. Of all the companies I called FL tours was the most expensive. I'm leaning towards happy limo. Thanks for the tip.

Kathy, I'm still here!!!!! I try to get on the boards during my lunch breaks when the boss is traveling. Well, needless to say he's been back in the office so my time is limited and by the time I get the kids to bed at night I don't feel like doing much but sleeping.

Well since I'm a banana virgin.....here's to you Mutt!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Stay cool everyone...this weekend is going to be brutal!

Hi Shell,

I have all this info. on The List that I've been making and I can send it to you sometime on Monday.

But, the more I think about it, there's a lot of information that probably shouldn't be shared online like our real names paired with our hometowns and personal stuff about our kids. I know this is a nice Disney board but you never know who's out there reading. Not a big risk that our homes will get broken into while we're away or someone try to approach our kids but a risk nonetheless and we should surf safely. :beach:

On our last cruise, someone knew how to take The List and post it on a webpage and then we sent the link to everyone via email. This way, only us Dis-sers could see it and our info. was safe. Does anyone know how to unload to a webpage? It's a stretch for me to use Excel to make the spreadsheet let alone set up a website. Or, as an alternative, I can send everyone the spreadsheet via email. :surfweb:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Happy Saturday everyone!

Well today our DD and GK'S arrive :cloud9:
It should be interesting to see how Minnie adjusts to kids running around here??
Tomarrow will be a trip to WDW with them. Not sure which park yet, probably WDW so they can do the Pirates ride. Then next saturday we get to pull off our surprise of the cruise for the grandkids. :woohoo:

Today is cleaning and getting last minute stuff ready for company.
Anybody got any plans this weekend???

Glad to see a couple of you are still with us. :thumbsup2
Now that Danielle and Jan are here, where are the rest of you guys that havnt posted for awhile???

[pgfour]

Good morning & Happy Weekend! :cool1: :woohoo:

Looks like we made it home just in time for the hot :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: weather!

Jan, We went through Petoskey yesterday! We then drove up and around Lake Michigan via the U.P. and Wisconsin. It took longer than our usual route, but we didn't like the idea of hitting Chicago at rush hour on a Friday. :sad2:

Now that I'm home, I can view pictures again! Bill -- awesome door sign! :thumbsup2 Runa -- great picture! :)

The list idea sounds great -- I'll get the rest of my info to you, Shell & Jamie.

No plans for the weekend -- just unpack, do laundry and start trying to get caught up on all the work I missed last week. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Stay cool everyone! :cool1:

Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone's weekend is going well. It was a HOT drive home yesterday. According to the thermometer in the SUV, temps on my 3 hour drive ranged from 101 to 106. THAT'S HOT!

Woo, Mutt and whoever else is in Ohio: Are these floods affecting you guys at all? Hope you are all safe!

To the Michigan Residents: Do any of you know anything about Blue Lake? DW's boss offered to let us use her vacation home up there anytime we wanted, and we may be plotting a weekend vacation or something up there. What would be the closest major airport (I don't do puddle jumper planes)?

Stay Cool! :thumbsup2

[woogal]

Hi Bob: :drinking1
The flooding here is in the county east of Cleveland where two rivers empty into Lake Erie, so we're not be affected by any flooding here in Akron. They just now ran another crawler on the TV stating another flood warning there, so apparently it's still not easing up any. :sad2:

Kathy: HAVE FUN!!! I'll bet Minnie will love having the kids around! :cool1:

Jan: A while ago we talked about meeting at Signals at 1:01 p.m. on 11/25/06 for our first celebratory drink!! Now I think it's official that the mandatory drink for this group is banana daquiris!!! :banana:

Have a great weekend, everyone. We're off to my family reunion. Lots and lots of good homemade italian food ... rigatoni, sausage & peppers, stuffed cabbage ... and I just made stromboli! Pray for my diet :rotfl2: Oh, did I mention it will be about 90 degrees out and this is being held in a park?? :crazy:

[DutchsMommy]

Hi Woo,

He does have a website but it's for his business:

www.oddballkustoms.com

I'm not sure about linking the .pdf to it - would it have to actually 'show up' somewhere on the site?? He doesn't maintain it - they have some guy who does that at his work. If it is just a website you need to access the .pdf could we use MySpace? We have a profile already up and could use that. I am not particularly tech-saavy so am not sure. Can you not PM with a ,pdf attachment?

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I spent most of the day at the barn. A famous 3 day eventer for the USA Olympic team was giving a clinic so I was watching and helping out. I'll be up there again tomorrow - it's cross-country day :thumbsup2

Cheri :yay: :banana: :yay:

[favoriteslave]

Hey I think the email is the best idea. Since a web site, anyone can view the information.

We are finally under the 4 month mark.

[pgfour]

I agree with Tonya (and anyone else who has stated the same opinion) -- email would be best so access is limited to just us "wild turkeys."

Bob: where is Blue Lake? (I'm not from Michigan and couldn't find it on a map after a 5 second search!!!) :confused3

Woogal -- wanted to let you know I literally LOL'ed when I read about you saving our ship with your rowing skills! :rotfl2: In case we run aground, I can run for help! (as long as it's within a few miles, or on a treadmill!!!!)

Sorry for not responding individually to EVERYONE! DH seems to think I've already spent enough time on the DIS tonight! :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1

Cheri :yay: :banana: :yay:

[woogal]

Good Morning!

Well Kathy must be having a great time with her family as I don't see a post from her yet today!!

So we are all agree on e-mail distribution only. That works for me! If you haven't already e-mailed me, send me a PM with your e-mail addy. I will get this initial list with pics out tomorrow. Sarah, thanks anyway for the offer to post it.

Cheri, I'm proud to say that I will be MUCH more help now as I averaged 109 watts the other night on the rowing machine! Think how much faster we'll be saved!! Maybe we can hook up a treadmill to the propellers on the ship and you can take over for a while!

Bob, I found Blue Lake Resort. I think you're going to be doing some driving to get there! I don't know Michigan that well (hopefully JanDave will see your post and have a better idea), but I'm pretty sure there are no real airports up that way. It look beautiful, though! www.bluelakeresort.com

Finally ... CHERI ... I'm SURE that there will be MANY celebratory drinks on this vacation :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: And tell your Bill there is NEVER too much time on DIS boards!!

Hey Everyone!

Well, it wasn't TOO hot down here today. The temp topped out at around 87. Of course, 50% humidity pushes the heat index up into the 90s!

DW and I are waiting on some friends to arrive. We are going to the Rascal Flatts concert tonight. One of our friends works for a division of Pepsi, and occaisionally she is able to get tickets for their suite at Philips Arena here in Atlanta. She has SPOILED us with going to concerts like this. So far, due to her generosity, we have seen Toby Keith, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones and I know I am forgetting someone. And that is just within the last year. At one time, I started figuring ticket prices and she has easily given us over $1500 worth of tickets in the last year (Stones alone were $850 per ticket for lower level). Her and her husband also took 2 of our pups from the last litter. So, we have brought her some joy in return. :dogdance:

Have a great day everybody!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Howdy everyone,
well all our company arrive late last night. Their plane was an hour late, so by the time we got home and visited some, and got to bed it was early morning, then off by 7 a.m. to be to MK by the time it opened this morning. We had a great day. :woohoo: We beat most of the lines, only had to use one fast pass all day. GK's loved the changes inthe Pirates of the caribbean ride too.
It wa shot but not really bad like it has been recently, so that was good. But this old lady is POOPED!!! But I kept up with the grandkids all day, so they didnt get the better of me yest, of course this is only day one!!! :rolleyes1

Minnie was scared of everyone last night for about 20 minutes, the she started having a blast. This was her first real socializing with people other than us and the Vet. She was so hyper I finally had to make her lay down and close our door so she had to stay there with us. This morning she was greeting everyone and just going from one room to the next. She wagged her tail so much I thought it would fall off!! :rotfl2:
Of course she was upset when she couldnt go to MK too. But after we got home she finally forgave us for leaving after a little help from some doggie treats. She is one tired pup tonight. She will sleep like a rock tonight and we will be home all day tomarrow so she will have people to play with all day.

Well I wont have to worry about anyone from the dis board from our next cruise recognizing us. Just look for our daughter and we will be close by. She will be easy to spot, she has bright PURPLE hair!!!! (Dont' ask :rotfl: )
Yes she is grown up (32) has 2 kids and works a good job, no she is NOT a party animal, she just likes feaky hair colors.
At Least Purple is a disney color at WDW. :thumbsup2
Actually she has weird colored hair often because she works with mentally and physically challenged kids and they love the bright hair colors. She keeps their attention better and the kids often smile or maybe even laugh, which they dont do hardly at all.
Plus she just likes being different I think?? :confused3

It will be intersting to say the least!! :rolleyes:
Hope everyone had a great weekend too!

Kathy :wave:

[JanDave]

Hi Bob: Blue Lake Resort -- the closest airport, I think, would be Grand Rapids; probably 1.5 hours away. I never heard of this resort and had to do some checking. Looks nice. We are "up north" a lot and didn't know about that place. If you go, let us know. Maybe we can have a mini DIS meet in the north country.

Back to work tomorrow to support my habits -- grandkids and DCL.

Have a great week everyone.

Good morning everyone,

well I was up at 5 as usual. Family is still asleep.
Today is my grandsons birthday so we are baking a birthday cake this morning and having BBQ for dinner, per his request.

Minnie keeps checking the bedroom doors, she cant figure out why people are still in bed at 5 a.m. After all she is up, so why not the rest of the house???

Hope everyone has a great Monday. :goodvibes

I am having a hard time keeping my ,mouth shut about the upcoming cruise. :rolleyes1

:sunny: :sunny: :sunny: It is going to be hot hot hot....today...we are reaching 100 degrees today.....I have to work the "later shift" again today. I dont like working this shift 12p till 8pm. Its not that bad, it just I am a morning person...I'd rather be at work early and "get it over with" and home early so I can have the rest of the eveing to myself.

Kathy you have a great time with your family and enjoy the cruise...which are you doing? eastern or western? See how smart these dogs are!! They are such a blast. My dog is good Monday - Friday..knows my schedule, plus I wear scrubs to work, so he knows when I put thoes on I'm working...but like today and when I work saturdays...even though he see's me getting ready in the "same clothes" because my time is not the same or "daddy" is home on saturdays he goes nuts when I leave. He wraps he legs around mine so I wont leave. It's kinda funny, but it drives me nuts.

Well have a good Monday everyone...I'll check in this evening when I get home..

Denise :banana: :banana: :banana:

Oh, I have tried to convience my sister Marge to chat with us on the boards..she said that she would, so I'm looking forward to her chatting with us. She has been on and reads whats going on but has not posted yet.

[woogal]

The list has been e-mailed! Check your inbox!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Got my list today.

AWESOME JOB :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Thankyou,

Kathy :wave:

[TiggerKing]

Great job on the list Shell. I just want to know where you found a cross-dressing banana? What kind of sites are you visiting?

Bob

[woogal]

I can't share ALL my secrets ... http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/pinkskirtnaner9fj.gifhttp://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/pinkskirtnaner9fj.gifhttp://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/pinkskirtnaner9fj.gif
:rotfl:

By the way ... you SOUTHERNERS (Kathy, Bob) can take back your dreadfully HOT weather anytime now! Our heat index is over 100 today ... and even worse tomorrow! :scared:

[disneediva]

Woogal,
I wanna list tooooo could you email me one. please :love:

Wendy

[runa00]

me and dave's banana's are oh so appropriate!!!!!!! lol is that a good thing or a bad thing.....you definitly know that we will be enjoying the nanna daquaris!

[DutchsMommy]

:love: :love: I love the list! I am SO bad with names so having the pics to go along with the names is excellent. Thanks so much Shell.

PS - I have totally changed my hair since the pic was taken though LOL :teeth:

And it is freakin' hot here too - 46 degrees (let's just agree that is hot up here and leave it at that eh). Canadians love to talk about the weather, so the local news channel is go full-force on the heat wave and delving into the off-shoot stories a la CNN like a)hottests days though history, b)how to keep cool, c) how to keep your garden cool, d) how to keep your pets cool, e) how to keep your bills cool from cooling all of the above.....you get the picture. :rolleyes: My Dad just laughs because he is in Thailand and it is this hot there every day and most of the people there don't have A/C.

[TIGGER41681]

All I have to do is remember to pack the list so I will remember all your names :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 !!
Great Job on the list Woogal :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: !!!

Thanks for the great DIS list, Shell.

I love my banana image! I participated in the British Pub show last September ......

Since I'm hooked on BBCs and a banana is one of the ingredients, I may have one of those for our Signals 1:01 pm meet.

Stay cool this week!

Jan

[runa00]

feeling hot hot hot!!!! worked all weekend from friday at 3pm until sunday at 3pm with a few hours to sleep everyday! it actually wasn't that bad but being locked up with no real air circulation does wonders for the skin :)

been on la weightloss since last october (didnt work the first 3 times) and restarted it a few months ago and its finally working!! horray! im down 15.8 pounds and have 43.2 more pounds to go! i hopefully will get them off by the trips!!!

dave and i started making our own beer a few weeks ago and i just baked some beer bread for my ethnic, gender and class issues class tomorrow (we have to bring in some ethnic food on our last day). hopefully the bread is good! oh lord! im not much of a domestic goddess or anything.

OK Runa, LA Weight Loss+Beer Bread+Ethnic = :confused3 :teeth: So which part of the world did beer bread originate - Boston? LOL Just kidding!! It just sounded funny when I read your post LOL. :teeth:

PS - Congrats on losing the weight!! :thumbsup2

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Howdy everyone,
well everyone is sleeping in again accept DH and myself. he is off to work and I am doing laundry and a few basic, quiet cleaning things.
Even Minnie is taking a nap. Last night was GS's birthday. While everyone had chocolate cake Minnie got a frosty paw, so she wasnt left out. Then they went in the pool until way after I went to bed. It was a very good evening for all.

Shell, even though we sent our heat your way, we didint send it all. With the humidity today will be 105+ depending on where you are. I was thinking I should spread a little more of it around to everyone, so we can cool off some.
Any takers???? :confused3

Now there is tropical storm Chris out there in the tropics and they think it will be a hurricane soon. now that doesnt mean much to all of you, but we cruise this saturday!!! So send some Pixie dust our way for good weather!!!
Thanks,
Kathy :wave:

Shell

You can take my DSD of the list of people cruising. Her mother doesn't think its best for her to be out of school for that long. We have tried, but to no avail. I am sorry that she won't be coming. :(

Also my DH birthday is on the 30th of November.

Stay cool and have a great day. Its only suppose to be 98 here today.

[woogal]

Hi everyone! I'm so happy you're happy with the list ... it certainly helps keep everyone straight, doesn't it? By the way, have you noticed any pattern in the photos? Hmmm ... let's see ... Trey has a drink, Bruce has a drink, Mike has a drink, Wally has a drink, Dave has a drink, Ron WANTS a drink, I think Cheri's Bill just had a drink prior to that pic ... :rotfl2: Of course BOB doesn't have a drink because he's a GOOD BOY! :p

Denise ... someone will have to catch you up on the banana thing. :lmao: Haven't we mentioned it somewhere on this board at one time or another? :scratchin I swear I remember reading something ...

Bob? YOU are a BRAT :p

[TiggerKing]

Bob? YOU are a BRAT :p
Hey, it was YOUR sub-conscious that had you use that icon to reflect you and your DH!

[LindaBabe]

I was just thinking, it has been along time since we have heard from Danielle and Andy, mamakate, cindalu,trey,fam4jc, grizmom,lindababe,needalatte, denverval,kycha,tammy1,cody'smom and a few more. :guilty:

Are you guys and gals still with us???? :confused3

It's been awhile since we've heard from Jandave and snoopymom too!! :sad2:

Our cruise is approching quickly, so I'd love to hear :surfweb: from some of you who havnt posted in a long time. I have been here since page 1 and a few have said goodbye, but the above people have posted up to 3 or 4 months ago, then suddenly quit posting.

I am hoping your still with us, drop us a line so we know for sure!!
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Thanks,
Kathy :wave:

I sure am here, and have even posted - but honestly - those dancing bananas make me dizzy, so i have to try to read without looking, if you know what I mean.

We did a major yard renovation this summer finishing on Sunday, so you can imagine we haven't spent a WHOLE lot of time in front of the computer. It needed it desperately - I've had fibromyalgia for about 10 years and haven't been able to work out there and my dh wasn't interested, so it was sadly overgrown. This year, he got the bug to do it and WOW what a difference some additional muscle makes!

What day is the Signal's 1:01 meet? That would be one I could get my DH to actually attend! lol

Is there a list of meets planned?

WooGal, I'd be happy to help with the spreadsheet if you need help.

stay cool!

[Dixielady908]

Good evening everyone....wow it is hot hot hot out!!!! :sunny:

I just came back in a little while ago from watering the garden. Worked up a sweat....yuk :crazy:

Just got done making this wonderful dessert. One of the girls from our office took a promotion at the hospital so she will be leaving us...a going away party.. ( of course we have a party for anything) its peach alaska pie. My mother used to make it. She has been gone 10 years now and I havent had it since before she passed away. So my first time making it, but it look wonderful. Peach jello, vanilla ice cream, cool whip and fresh peaches...yum.. :p I'll let all of you know how it tasted tomorrow..

Well have a good evening....stay cool :cool1: :cool1:

Good Morning Nana Lovers :rotfl2:

I am off to work my first day back since vacation :guilty: . I am not looking forward to this at all, I am still in time off mode.

Linda I could use some help in our garden if you know of any interested people :rolleyes1 We had to dig it all up following Katrina and just have not had any time to replant it. Plus it is soooo hot here.

Well off to work at least its got AC

Wendy

[JanDave]

Hey! I love it -- Nanna Heads. Then Wendy said "good morning nana lovers". Well, wouldn't you know, one of my grandchildren calls me "Nana". I am Nana the nana lover!

Good Morning to all, too. Dave and I are looking forward to tomorrow. Our Morgantown, West Virginia kids/grandkids will be here. Our family will be getting together on Saturday for an overnight gathering -- first time we've all been together in about 2 years. What fun this Nana will have!

Last day of hot weather here in Michigan, or so they say.

Jan

[mom x4,grandma x4]

LindaBabe,
so happy to hear your still here. :thumbsup2

Well it looks like the storm brewing out there may get here after the cruise leaves this saturday. That would be great!!! :woohoo: Although we may have some rough seas due to it. Not sure if our itenary will change or stay the same.
I dont care where we go as long as we get to go!!!

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday today. We are hot and humid like most people on the east coast!! :sunny:

Minnie has been so busy with company I think she will need next week to catch up on her rest!!! :rotfl2:

Have a great day everyone,

Kathy :wave:

[runa00]

Hey Runa.....thank God Dave is coming up to Canada - it's snowing here so he can stay cool! OK, seriously we are actually in a heat wave (with humidity it was 118.4 degrees yesterday - can you believe it!!!!! It was the hottest day on record for us). But it looks like things will be quite nice for next week. Tell him to bring an umbrella as we have been having lots of thunder storms too. Where about's is he going? And now comes the nosy bit - why is he coming up here?

Hope all is well with everyone!

Kathy - fingers crossed for your Cruise vs. Chris ;)

[woogal]

Hello :banana: NANA HEADS :banana:
Hot Hot Hot in Ohio. Current heat index: 104! I can feel my bananas melting. But there's a "cold front" moving in overnight and we'll be at a "normal" 83 tomorrow! :cool1:

[TIGGER41681]

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I know my icon baby boy :banana: :banana:banana!! Today we reached 115 degrees with the Heat Index!! TOO HOT!!! Well I was sick of being in the house for the last few days so I went to the Mall with DS :earsboy: and my sister-in-law and niece. The Hallmark Store has the cutest Disney ornaments for Christmas. I bought the Disney Cars and a Pooh 1st Christmas pooh:. Well going to cook dinner because DH should be home soon!!! Talk to you tomorrow!!
Lynn princess: princess:

[TiggerKing]

93 degrees, 47% humidity and a heat index of 99. On top of that, it has been a really crappy day at work. :furious: I have one member of my team that I would prefer to strangle at this point rather than talk to him, and one member of the client's team for which I have the same feelings! I have threatened to go back to the hotel pool this evening and spend a great deal of time underwater screaming at full volume. Of course, I would occaisionally come up for air, but none of these people better be in my line of vision!

Okay, breathe deep, imagine sunny beaches and ocean waves. You know, if I make it that long, November might not be a bad time to take up drinking. Heck, tonight might not be a bad time to take up drinking! :drinking1

Have a wonderful day everyone. And Kathy, Chris or not, I would love to take your place on the ship this weekend. The GKs would probably be more rational than some of the people I have dealt with this week.

[fourfoxesinpa]

Who needs the Caribbean when you can have Pennsylvania? OHMYGOSH - IT IS SO HOT!!!! :scared:

Love the icons...When you see my kids dancing at the Golden Mickeys after party and Family Disco Night, you'll see how appropriate ours is. We'll be closin' the joint down! My ds, (age 10 on Saturday!), loves dancing to the Disco Music!

RUNA - What's the weekend for the Irish Festival. We're down there ( :beach: )a lot...if we're there that weekend, we should catch up and say "hey"!

I think we figured out that we're going to try and get a Palo ressie for St. Thomas night. I think the Master Chef menu is my least favorite and, if we get the right rotation, we'd be in Parrot Cay, which is my least fave restaurant. Still need to think about excursions and spa treatment for me and dh but I'm very excited to pay this puppy off next week (well, at least run it through my charge card!)

Stay Cool, Bananas. :cold:

[Dixielady908]

:banana: Goodevening fellow NANA CRUISERS....
Yes it was hot hot here again today. :sunny: But our weather is just like Shell's we are getting some storms tonight, which seem to be moving in now. It is getting dark out there. Then a cool off for tomorrow in the low 80's. :cheer2: I may actually want to be outside tomorrow. :teeth:

Nothing else exciting here except that my daughter will be home on Monday for a couple of weeks, before she leaves for Iraq. So I am looking forward to seeing her. Now I just have to get her room straighted up and dusted. You know how that goes...I bearly go in there except to iron. so I just dust when I need to. :rolleyes1

Have a great evening everyone.

Denise :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[JanDave]

Good Morning!

I will be away from the boards for about 5 days as my West Virginia kids/gkids are coming today. Can't wait to see them! Our whole family will be together this weekend - first time in about 2 years.

We got the storms last night, too. Glad it's cooled down a bit.

Talk to you next week.

Jan

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Jan,
Enjoy the grandkids!!!
We are enjoying ours, lots of spoiling going on around here the past few days. ;)

hope everyone is having a great week. :goodvibes
I am happy today because tropical strom Chris seems to be fading away and missing us this time, :cloud9: so our cruise should be ok, of course if it stays where it is for awhile we may have to change our stops this trip, but that is ok too. :teeth:

Time to get moving, grandkids will be up soon and this old lady needs time to get the muscles moving in the morning!! Can't let them get the better of me yet!! :dance3:

Kathy :wave:

Good morning fellow nana-lovin' cruisers! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

The cold front finally went through last night and we had a nice steady rain this morning -- no storms! :) For those of you in the east, relief should be heading your way. :thumbsup2 (Key word, of course, is SHOULD!)

We've been busy at work trying to dig out from everything that came in last week when we were gone. My self-discipline kicked in and kept me away from the DIS! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Shell - Great list! Thanks so much for all the work you put into it. The :banana: :banana: icons were all so appropriate!

I also noticed a :drinking1 party: trend in those photos as well!!! Should be a fun time at Signals and wherever else we happen to meet! :cool1:

I think we're going to skip excursions and check things out on our own. Counting the days till we can get spa & Palo ressies!

Better get back to work! Have a great day :banana: :banana: :banana: lovers!

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday! Only one more day to the weekend, and boy do I need the weekend! It has been a better day at work today, but I still want to cause serious injury to one of my team members. I just keep telling myself that I only have to deal with him a few more days! (That REALLY sounds bad, doesn't it?)

Anyhow, enjoy your Thursday everybody!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Tiggerking,
I think we all have worked with people like that at one time or another!!
Just take a deep breath and keep saying:

Tomarrow is Friday :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

You will have a great weekend!!

I will be thinking about all of you as we sail off into the sunset saturday.
If you watch the web cams on saturday I will be the :crazy: lady on deck 10 waving her Mickey hand and :Pinkbounc for joy.

Kathy :wave:

[Dixielady908]

:Pinkbounc Kathy, just be careful you dont jump off the ship....dont want to see anyone in the twopalm web cam taking a swan dive off deck 10.. :lmao: :rotfl2: . Have a great cruise. You should have a great time with the kids.

:cheer2: I am soooo happy tomorrow is Friday. I am wore out working short staffed. One more week after this and then I have a week off... :cheer2: :woohoo: :woohoo: . Just staying home and hanging out with my daughter. Then having family over on Saturday for dinner.

Well have a good evening everyone.

Woohoo! Friday's here!! :banana:

Hello, Banana Heads! Welcome to the weekend! We are having a Biggest Loser competition at work and have weigh-ins every other week. The next one is this coming Tuesday ... and I have TWO birthday parties to attend this weekend! UGH! :eek: I got 3rd place in most lost at last weigh-in, I'll probably get to put money in the pot for GAINING this time. :guilty: Oh well ... you have to live a little!!

Kathy ... HAVE FUN :banana: ... and remember that we're all jealous!!! Wave to the camera for us!

So, the big day is coming, isn't it? August 27th ... the day of my Fantasy Football draft!!! Mmmm, :scratchin seems like there's something else going on that day, too ...

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

[favoriteslave]

I want to know how many people will be up late on the 26th to start signing up for ressies at the stroke of midnight?

We have decided on St. Marteen excursions, but are up in the air about what to do on St. Thomas / St. John. Hopefully we will decide before the 26th.

Kathy have a great time, eat some Mickey Bars for all of us that are on diets. We will be sending good thoughts your way for a safe return. Poo poo on Chris.

Everyone else, have a great weekend. My sissy is in town and will spend most of the weekend shopping for the cruise. (she is my jimminie cricket when it comes to clothing)

C ya all real soon. (has anyone seen Lampy?)

Lindababe - I just thought of you. While surfing the wonderful world of e-bay for pirate costumes for the cruise, (RRRRR) I saw some that were made for teddy bears. Check out Crafty Critter Party Company. They were absolutely adorable.

Just thought of you. Have a great day.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Athene,
liked the change you made, looks great. :thumbsup2

lots of thunder and lightning and RAIN at last tonight!!!! :goodvibes
Tornado sited 10 miles from us and headed our way. Luckily they fade away quickly it seems.
Just finished packing while DH took grandkids out for pizza. DS took DD to pick up her husband at the airport, so I had the place to myself to get ready. Just need to pack toothbrushes in the morning and we'll be on our way. :woohoo:

I like the new thread name, but I did pass it. Went back to the top then noticed the Wild turkeys...at first I thought someone stole "our name". I like the change.

Tomorrow is DH birthday!!! :dance3: It's the BIG 50!!!!!! so I bought him the shaggy dog with Tim Allen and were going out for dinner tomorrow. Other than that nothing planned the rest of the weekend. Just some house cleaning before my daughter gets home Monday evening.....

Have a great evening everyone.

Hi everyone,
I had to search a few pages to find this thread again (like alot of others) :teeth: ....I did not recognize it by the new title! I love it though.

Cruisemutt, what a great sign!! How did you make that....by computer, or by hand?

Kathy, hope you are having a wonderful cruise. I wish that I could be taking so many cruises close together like you do! I was happy that we are taking another one after a year. Have a magical time. :cheer2:

[cruisemutt]

Hey Michelle! Good to see you're still with us!

To answer your question...yes. I do the drawing by hand and I'm trying to develop some skills in photoshop so I do the color and blends in there. I know it sounds like cheating but I find it just as challenging as a brush and a tube of paint :artist: . Eh, I guess either way is fun to me. Btw...thats the last posted one, kids--if you wanna see the rest, you're just gonna have to walk by our cabin and say hi to us...(bring coffee if its morningtime---hehe).

Well, we woke up with one thing on our minds...the first thing out of my dw was "g'mornin hon---I love ya" NOT. No, it was "its gonna be great spending my sunday with ya"--- NOT. No, the first thing outta her mouth was "honey, go up to deck 9 and get us a coffee, would ya?" A lil obsession?
Probably, because my first thought was "KATHY AND HER FAMILY JUST WOKE UP ON THE OCEAN---GRRRRR).

anyways, enough of my rant....I hope everyone has a great sunday!!

[Dixielady908]

:) Good afternoon everyone.

Well it's Sunday. Which everyone knows what that means. WORK tomorrow :crazy: . Yuk...

It was very cloudy and overcast out most of the morning. Then we had about 1 hour of rain. Now the sun is shining...wow I feel like I'm in Florida. :rotfl:

Enjoy the rest of your afternoon and have a good work week.

He did not sleep last night because of all the excitment he had during the day :bounce: :bounce: :!! So I am VERY tired today :surfweb: :surfweb: !! Here are two pictures from DS Baptism.

Lynn, great pics of DS! :thumbsup2

Happy Monday Morning everyone! It was an okay weekend. We had some heavy duty storms on Sat. night and lost power for about 5 hours again (getting sick of this routine). Although one good thing came out of it. DW and I went to Wal-Mart and found some small battery powered fans for camping with a small light on them. We bought them to help stay cool during the outage, but quickly realized that they would be great in the room to help keep cool when the AC can't quite keep up (we like a COOL room). They were $13 each and run on d-cell batteries. If you are prone to being warm, it might be a consideration for the cruise.

Well, I am back in South Georgia for at least today and tomorrow. I will be glad when this project is over!

Have a great week!

[LindaBabe]

OMG MUTT! THAT IS GORGEOUS! Your talent is amazing.

Thanks for the hint on the critter co, I'm going to check it out right now - NOT that she needs one more stitch of new clothing.

Took me a while to find this thread . . . Why this obession with bananas? I'm gonna be itchy just thinking about them. ugh.

Kathy - hope you and yours have a great cruise - and come home to write a nice long TR for us to feast on.

Tigger. - that is one BEAUTIFUL family!

[cruisemutt]

Linda...I'm in the process of petitioning the wife to change your identifying icon to a fruit you're NOT allergic to. Any help would be....well, helpful. We have a wide array to choose from. (I'm betting the banana obsessions not going away at this point).http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/dancingfruits0nm.gif

Just go through these and stop at one that doesn't make ya itch.

Stay cool, Bob......(I'm a cool weather kinda fella too).

[LindaBabe]

Thank you very Mutt! I think I'll have the pineapple - the top somewhat resembles my hair in the morning. lol

Ps, could it please stand STILL? I'd rather not take dramamine til I have to ;-)

[Dixielady908]

:) Good Monday evening....
Lynn, the pictures are great. He is sooo cute. :thumbsup2

Well I got home late. I had a doctor appt. after work. So of course had a 5:30 appt. and didnt see the doctor until 6:10. Anyway I finally made it home.

My daughter was to be home tonight. She is driving in from Colorado. Was to leave very early this morning, but alas....this is the military that were talking about. So she call's me at 10am and say's that she is still on base. I guess a few kids got DUI's this weekend...so mass punishment. No one could leave until noon. So she didnt want to drive all night, so now she is not leaving until tomorrow morning. :sad2: Gotta love the military. So needless to say, I am disappointed. Oh well, I'll see her tomorrow night.

Very busy at work today. I am really getting to dislike Monday's more and more. Well 4 more work days then I'm off for the next week. :woohoo:

Well you all have a great evening.

Hi Banana Heads: :banana:

Here's a little fun reading for you. Scott Adams writes the Dilbert comic strip and just got married a couple of weeks ago. For their honeymoon, they opted for a "familymoon" as he called it (kids, parents ... you get the picture) and guess where to? Yep, Disney Magic! :sail: Check out his blog entitled "Cruising" at http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/

Enjoy!!

P.S. Lynn: My mother swore by a peeled, frozen carrot that she'd let us (and her grandkids) gnaw on. It worked.

[LindaBabe]

Tigger. . . my mom rubbed the gums with a little good bourbon. I suppose the frozen carrot is more pc, nowadays.

Shell, how far down that blog did you read? I was laughing so hard my husband came down to see what the trouble was.

WEndy, I'd eat EVERY meal in Palo, if they'd let me!

We had our back yard listed as a wildlife sanctuary. There's only one problem with that. The wildlife are eating everything in sight!

Happy Day, All!

[Dixielady908]

:thumbsup2 Wendy: Good feeling on paying off the cruise. I just paid off mine on friday. :woohoo: Actually we are planning on a Palo brunch. My sister will be making the ressie's as she is a castaway member. I told her any day. So we will see what we get.

I honsetly dont think Kathy is missing us.....I do belive that she is thinking about us and laughing as we are slaving away here, while she is having a grand time. :rotfl2: At least I would be doing that.!! :rolleyes1

Have a great evening everyone.

I love the new thread name. It's so, shall I dare say.... :banana: "a-peel-ing!" :banana:

(I heard that groaning!)

Can't wait to call the travel agent today to tell her to swipe my card! So exciting! :banana: All I have to do is get our room for the Sat. night we come back and we are (as they say in the Taco Bell commercials) "Good To Go."

Tigger Family - Beautiful pics from the baptism. Good luck with those "toofers." My kids didn't get their teeth until they were 12 and 14 months old so they didn't take it "as hard." That carrot sounds like a good idea though.

RUNA - Where the heck are ya? When's the Irish Festival?

Gorgeous weather today in the Northeast...hope everyone can get out a bit and enjoy.

[Dixielady908]

:sunny: Good Wednesday morning fellow Turkey cruisers:

Well I dont have to start work until a little later this morning. So was able to "sleep in". Got to bed later as my DD came in around 10:30 last night. While she unpacked her car, I had to keep an eye on our dogs. I have to say, that my dog was happy to see his "cousin" and they were running around and playing two minutes after she got here. I just hope this last's as I have custody of her dog until she gets back from Iraq. So next year around this time. Keeping my fingers crossed that I dont have any major problems between the two dogs. :sad2: But I was happy to see my daughter, I havent seen her since Christmas.

Well I should start getting ready for work. Yuk :crazy: Have a great day, I'll be back on this evening........yes that is a threat!!! :rotfl2:

Denise

[TiggerKing]

Well, this is starting to sound like a broken record, but we are headed for a high of 95 with a heat index of at least 101 today! I really do dislike summers in the south, as much as I love the other three seasons. I really long for the day when I become independently wealthy and can summer in Canada, and spend the rest of the months in the south!

I hope that everyone is having a great week. Not too bad here at work for the rest of the week, just chugging along.

[disneediva]

I am actually off today since I have to work the weekend. So I am taking DS and his friend adam out to lunch and to the movies sort of a last day off fun
before school starts on Monday.

Denise enjoy your time with your daughter :grouphug:

Tiggerking, I feel your pain its 830 am here and already 88 its going to be a hot one glad we will be in the AC at the show.

Have a grreat Wednesday NanaHeads the time is getting closer

Wendy :hourglass

[TiggerKing]

Hey, what happened to our counters? Those that are not from TickerFactory.com aren't working. Now I don't know when my cruise is...

Ahh...I just looked at ******************** and it said the account had been suspended due to overuse! I guess us DISers blew their bandwidth out of the water. Well, it is back to TickerFactory, then! :rolleyes1

[feenie]

It was 52 degrees this morning when I left for work at 5:30... even now it is only 59. (welcome fall?)
I'm not going to complain though. I LOVE fall. (our cruise is in the "fall")
:hourglass

Oh, Cruisemutt, you may want to make copies of your beautiful art for people to take so they leave your door signs alone.... Even if you personalize the heck out of them, people may still take them because the picutres are so very awesome. :banana:

[cruisemutt]

Hey Bob....maybe its too many dancing nanas fouling up the board...and worry not, we'll tell you when to make your way to Port Canaveral--I have a feeling a few people have it written down somewhere (mines in 6" letters on a dry erase board where the whole shop can see it...oh, yeah, and theres a big "nyah-nyah-nyah, we're going and YOU'RE NOT" next to the countdown number.

Stay cool, my friend,....summers almost over (sorry, DW....but it is). :sunny:

Have a good time Wendy....what are you goin to see?

Enjoy....

you are not supposed to warn da mutt we were gonna steal those door signs, now he'll be on the lookout for us :rotfl2:

We are off for sushi and a movie

Hello My Fellow Banana Heads :banana: :banana: ,
Well today DS is throwing up and just sleeping all day just not himself :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: so we are off to the Doctor's for our 1st sick visit. I am a nervous mother :worried: :worried: !! Well let me go because he is crying and just want to be held!!
Talk to you tomorrow!!
Lynn princess:

[TiggerKing]

Mutt, as long as someone notifies me at least the day before, I can be there on time. You know us men, we can pack for a month in 30 minutes. And, no, that is not a stretch. I packed for a one month business trip to Europe in 30 minutes. I received notice of the trip on Wed., when I was in Detroit, had to return to Atlanta on Thursday, close on a house on Friday, and fly on Saturday! Now THAT was a stressful three days! :crazy:

Plus, I am sure that DW will not let me forget when it is!

Athene: You are making me VERY jealous with your weather reports. Those are prime temps for me when I am at home! I don't wish for them on our cruise, but they would be nice right now!

[favoriteslave]

I want to know how you men pack like that? I have to plan for weeks, have different lists for different trips, my husband can be ready in like 10 minutes for a weekend away from the house. Me, I do that and i forget to pack like underware or something. Its not just fair.

Speaking of packing (WOMEN) what is the one thing that you could NOT live without on the cruise? ( :difficulty: not saying HUSBAND or significant other) Me, it is the over the door shoe hanger, I got one last minute last year because of tip I had read, I used it for everything. No clutter, no crap laying everywhere in the cabin, so shampoo bottles being left in the tub, nothing. It was great. Its actually in the suitcase waiting to go this year.

Have a great Wednesday, we have soccer this evening with 98 degree weather, should be interesting.

[woogal]

Hello NanaHeads :banana:

Oh now, Tonya ... the only thing I couldn't live without on my cruise would be my DH!! :love: Oh, no, wait. Now that I think about it, I could probably do the cruise without him and not have too many problems. So I'm stumped by your question. :rotfl2: I'M JUST KIDDING, PEOPLE!!!!

Linda: I try to read that blog a few times per week. He's a great writer, isn't he?

I wish I was with Wendy today ... Sushi and a movie!

For those that have pondered, I don't even think Kathy remembers who we are at this point! :rotfl:

We have cooled down quite a bit as well. Had to pull the heavy comforter up on us (and, of course, on Guido who sleeps between us ... spoiled rotten dog!) last night just to stay warm. Awesome sleeping weather!!!

Good morning everyone! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

We've been pretty busy over the past few days. We spent Friday and Saturday with DH's brother & wife who were visiting from TN. :cool1:
Work has been hectic (I should be working right now, but I was having major :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: withdrawals!). I guess busy is good, so I shouldn't complain too much. :confused3

Yesterday, I had to take DD to get her booster shots for Kindergarten; then off to the county fair for Kids' Day (cheaper rides :thumbsup2 ). It ended up being pretty hot. :sunny:
Today DD is feeling a bit sore from the tetanus shot so I get to work from home today. :cheer2: (Poor DH is on his own in the office.)

Love the new thread title! :banana: :banana: 17 days till we can make ressies! :goodvibes

They say married people live longer than single people, but it isn't true, it just seems that way! :rotfl2:

:rolleyes1 I'm back!!!! i was busy at work (70 hours this week and its only thursday!) and also camping (we have a permanent site and trailer). i should be at work right now however i went home last night to find a dog with a big red bulls eye on her leg and was freaking out and took her to the vet today. she was bit by a tick no big deal but has medicine and all so she's spending all of my cruise money! (i guess she is getting me back because she wont be with us) so i have another double tomorrow and am off the weekend. going to see the lion king musical with my mom and goign to atlantic city to win big money for the cruise!

dave- remains in new york (he told me canada but its new york you can just see canada i guess from his housse) with his parents on a family vacation. i opted to stay home as im sure i will have my fair share of not-even-in-laws on our disney trip the week before the cruise

irish weekend- sept. 23-25 i will be an irish mess in wildwood nj.... anyone who would like to see us so they will recognize us at signals when we are disney mess' are more than willing to come!

my mom but bourbon on my gums when i was teething and look what happened to me.............

[runa00]

is anyone ordering baskets from shirley...im not sure what to do for dave b/c i think i might get baskets for the group when we are in wdw but i think it would be special for him, any ideas...............

A four pack of the Guinness cans? :drinking1

My dh Loooooves the fact that all he has to do is walk up one flight up or stairs and he's in Diversions getting his daily pint (or two or three). But, I think we may carry some onboard if we can find them near the port. I hate to see him have to work SO HARD on vacation and do steps! :goodvibes

We could see you at Irish Weekend - that weekend looks like we'll be down there. Have fun and win big in AC - we're off to Cape May County for a slice of Mack's White Pizza and some Kohr Bros.

Paid the cruise off yesterday (well - put it on our Disney Visa) :banana: :banana: and we're now set to make those ressies. Time to do the research on the brunch and high tea. :hourglass Also those spa ressies.

:wave: Good evening all: Thank God it's Thursday. Man this has been a long week.

It's been just wonderful here. I'm exhausted already and it only day two since my daughter has gotten here. The dogs are getting along ok. Have to keep an eye on them. I fully dont trust them together alone (or behind my back) which is where they are now. Gee lets see I only have about another 13 or so months left of this..... I'm thinking it will get better. I will just have to do some training on my DD dog.

Well have a great Friday everyone.....

I was one that had my eye on Mutt's signs. Guess my cover is blown :-(

Equally sure Kathy is not missing us AT ALL!

Yes, planning on a basket from Shirley for dh but NO idea what to put in it. . . not quite true - i have two paperback books to send her. . . that'll fill a lot of basket, not.

That wild turkey is SO cute. Do turkey's eat bananas? (Still confused about that one)

It was 52 here this morning, too. LOVE IT! Unfortunately it also means my garden days are numbered. . . and it will too soon be time for the s word.

[pgfour]

Bite your tongue, LindaBabe, for mentioning the "s" word!!! :guilty: I'm still coming to grips with the fact we're almost halfway through August and school starts soon! At least that means we're closer to the cruise! :thumbsup2

Denise, any storms down your way today? We had nothing up here at the state line, but DD's swimming lessons were cancelled -- maybe they thought there would be a storm? :confused3

Good Friday Morning to you all,

Well this morning it is in the 50's here :sunny: :sunny: . It's a pleasure after that long heat wave. It's nice weather to go walking and lose all the baby weight!! DS is doing better. DS also has a new thing that he does not like the SLEEP anymore :sad2: :sad2: . He wakes up at 3 am and thinks it time to play and is ready for the day!! Well this weekend we are going to the beach :beach: :beach: :beach. It should be fun. Well I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the nice weather :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 !!

Has anybody had done the Christmas card pictures while on the cruise?? Are they nice and do you get them while on board or are they sent to you??

Runa: Like the sign colored in. :banana: :banana: :banana: What is this basket thing?? I most have missed it??

TGIF everyone. Supposed to be a little cooler here this weekend with highs in the low to mid-80s. But, pre-season football has started and college ball is only 3 weeks away, so that means that the good weather will be here SOON! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!?

(that was mean... :rolleyes1 )

[DutchsMommy]

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!?

I am a big NFL fan, but the recent performance by my beloved GB Packers has been nothing short of dismal. I love Brett but he really needs to pack it in - sad but true.

HHAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: I am SO glad it is the weekend....even though this was a short week for us it seemed LONG. I'm going up to a friend's place this weekend for a Girls Night - nail polish and People Magazine - what a life LOL. My Dad will only be around until mid-Sept so I need to make the most of his babysitting offers :teeth:

It's been beautiful weather here - similar to NY I would imagine - cooler at nights but nice (75 ish I would say) during the day. It is definately getting darker earlier at night though, which brings thoughts of fall. Up here we do not use the 'S' word before Thanksgiving just in case :rolleyes1

DS is starting JK in 3 weeks which I am both excited and sad about - time is going so fast!

I read a post from Shirley about the MAW families and the DAID. I PM'd her to see if there was anyone she was aware of on our cruise. I offered to help but was thinking that if there is a family maybe the Turkey-Bananaheads would be willing to do something as a group?? No pressure here, just a thought. I'll let you guys know if something comes back from Shirley.

As for baskets - I am going to get one for DS. I think some sand toys, hotwheels and some treats. I'll have to talk to Shirley in a month or two to organize that. I am also planning on picking up some wine/beer/liquor in Cocoa Beach before we board. I like a glass or two of wine but hate paying the price per glass for it! I am trying to think of stuff we will need for the cruise as all summer stuff is on sale right now, but can't think of too much. I think we are going to splurge and buy Pirate costumes off ebay - they are SO COOL pirate: and we can use them for Halloweens etc to come. We are going to keep DSs costume pretty basic - with lots of fake tattoos. Hopefully they will come off before formal night LOL.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Mean? no. True? Yes. Did you know that when you're born in Northeast Ohio the first words you learn are not MAMA or DADA? They are "WAIT'LL NEXT YEAR".

[sptweedle]

Hello everyone, my family and I will be on this cruise as well, it is our first cruise. We've been reading the boards for a while trying to learn the "lingo", but need some help from the experts! In regards to reservations, I know that we can book at the 75 day mark but is that on 9-10 at 3 am or 9-11 at 3 am? We would like to go to Palos as well. Do you guys have any recommendations on doing the brunch or dinner?
:banana: :banana: :banana: (thought I'd get in on some of the action!)
Steve

[disneediva]

Welcome Steve,
as you will see we are a calm quiet bunch :banana: :banana: :banana:
Do you have kids sailing with you? You can make your ressies om the 11th I believe. We are doing brunch and dinner at Palo if possible.

Welcome back Kathy did you miss us at all :rotfl2:


Have a great Friday everyone I am off to pick up my DS school uniforms,

:welcome: STEVE AND FAMILY :welcome:
We are a quiet, reserved, mature group. You'll see that it takes a lot to get any of us to really talk about much of anything. However, you picked up nicely on the dancing bananas :banana: :banana: :banana: so you're now ONE OF US! That can be good and bad ... :lmao: Um, how far back did you read?!

[cruisemutt]

Hey Steve....welcome aboard!!!
Wendy is correct...we're a pretty tame bunch (nothin to see here, folks)....and btw Wendy, I was hoping you woulda been the one to come to my aid regarding my mean wife--shoulda known you women would stick together(and btw...ty Bob, yer a good guy). Eh, my dw is good to me MOST of the time, I guess I should be more forgiving....

Ok....back to work for me....
remember, Steve.....tame....we're tame....http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/2750.gifhttp://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/2750.gifhttp://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/2750.gif

Good Friday Morning to you all,

DS also has a new thing that he does not like the SLEEP anymore :sad2: :sad2: . He wakes up at 3 am and thinks it time to play and is ready for the day!! Well this weekend we are going to the beach :beach: :beach: :beach. It should be fun. Well I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the nice weather :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 !!

:banana: :banana: WELCOME STEVE AND FAMILY :banana: :banana:

I have found this to be useful to calculate ressies:

http://pscalculator.net/allearsnet/pscalcae.php


Everyone - here is Shirley's response to my MAW question:

Thank you for your beautiful letter - I may have to take you up on your beautiful offer since the MAW children has escalated to almost 25 children a week.

When time comes closer and if I have a special one going during your time, I will let you know -
Thanks again for your kindness.
Always
Shirley

So - if anyone is interested I'll keep you UTD if anything comes of it. FYI - in case anyone isn't aware MAW=Make a Wish and Shirley and others on the DIS often put together little treats etc for these kids to make their vacation special.

[favoriteslave]

Steve - Welcome, Welcome. We look forward to meeting you.

Dutchsmom - Keep us updated about the MAW. I would be more than willing to help out.

Lampy - WELCOME BACK, we have missed you. When do we need to link ressies. I'm all paid up, even have money put back for the bar tab, so we are truly ready to go.

Happy Friday everyone.

[sptweedle]

Dutchsmommy thanks for the calculator-didn't have enough fingers and toes

Yeah I can see you guys are a tame bunch-guys in coconut bras? Come on I have kids! I don't have blindfolds on my list of things to pack. I didn't realize the D in DCL was for deviant.
Steve

[disneediva]

See Steve we are mature quiet people :rotfl2: sorry i could not even finish the sentence the lightening was aiming for my head.

Dutchsmommy keep us updated on any MAW and count me in. :thumbsup2

Now Mutt, I woulda come to your aid had I thought you really needed it, but getting to know Shell on these boards I figured you probably slipped on a :banana: peel and bumped your head and was having delusional thoughts, my bad :rotfl: I promise if you need us we will save you I'll listen for yelling as I am stealing your door signs :rolleyes1

Wendy

[TiggerKing]

Steve, don't be scared off by Lampskies actions! He is "different" and we tolerate that fact for the sake of his connections! :rotfl2:

And for everyone else: THIS IS MY 1000th POST!!!! :cheer2: :dance3: pixiedust: :rockband: party: :jumping1: :tigger:
(I ain't puttin no bananas in my post!)

[DutchsMommy]

Ron - love it!!! That looks like wicked fun! :thumbsup2

[favoriteslave]

Ron, That doesn't look like cliff diving. More like OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!! So that is what you have been doing while you are neglecting us.

[woogal]

Steve
Wow! That was a really quick conversion to the "Nana Side"! Congrats, Steve, on an official LOL from me when I read that! http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/ronniejamesdionana-1.gif And please accept my condolences for fitting in with us misfits so well.

And yet ANOTHER genuine LOL for Wendy ("if you need us we will save you I'll listen for yelling as I am stealing your door signs"). Nice one! Hey, got any left over sushi to pass around? http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/2791.gif

Bob: You know what your 1000th post says to me? You need to get a life! :lmao:

[disneediva]

Congrats Tiggerking :woohoo:

[disneediva]

Sorry Shell,
It starts to smell fishy if you leave any sushi leftovers so I had to eat it all. But the good news was the kids changed thier minds and I was saved from the Ballard of Ricky Bobby and we saw World Trade Center . It was an incredible moving movie.
By the way I was reading my calender and I think today is national be nice to mutt day so have a good one Mutt :rotfl2:

Wendy

Well Kathy should be back tomorrow morning. I'm sure she had a great time, just waiting to here all about her trip.

Have a great evening everyone. I think my DH is trying to talk me into cutting the grass. :crazy:

[cruisemutt]

Hey Bob....congrats on your post 1000---maybe as a lil celebration you can fix yer tickers---whaddya think?

Wendy....I knew you were a nice lady...I may just make you door signs for free! (or would you rather steal them, some folks find it a rush and stealing my doodles IS the finest form of flattery).

Steve...if you ask Ron real nice-like, maybe he'll make you a pair of those coconut thingees- they are rather fetching (come on, fellas, I'm just saying what yer all thinkin).
Happy Friday, everyone....the weekends here!!!!!

"WE" also Lie. A LOT! :rotfl:


Dutch'smom - what ever you need - I'd love to help. (I'm the one who almost got in trouble for trying to -er deliver - three boxes of schools supplies to Grand Cayman after Ivan. :confused3 )

[cruisemutt]

G'Mornin everyone!!
I imagine Kathy woke up a couple hours ago....muttered an explative under her breath and moseyed up to deck 9 for a coffee---a preparation to make that sad, sad departure from the ship. We feel your pain, dear. Welcome back! We had over 25 posts just from yesterday so you have a LOT of reading to catch up on.

Have a great Saturday, everyone~

Bob? You finally getting some cooler weather? We woke up to 51 degrees this morning.....brrrr....

[TiggerKing]

Bob? You finally getting some cooler weather? We woke up to 51 degrees this morning.....brrrr....
BITE ME! (I'm sorry, was that out loud?:rotfl: )

We have had a cold front come through. The high yesterday was only in the mid-80s and then today it is supposed to be 83 degrees! Woo Hoo! Heck, it was 74 degrees when I left the house at 7:30 this morning! I want lows in the 50s, highs in the upper 60s to low 70s!

And BTW, I did fix one of my tickers. But, Mousehouse says they are working on getting the site set back up, so I am holding out for the restart! popcorn::

Kathy: Welcome back. I know you don't want to be back, but we are eagerly awaiting your trip report!

[LAMPSKIES]

O.K. guys......looks like there could be a HUGE problem with our sailing now..................Well with all of the "no liquid" rules for flying those 4 bottles of absolute I usually purchase and the bottles of rum?!?!?!?!?!? If I can't bring it on the plane home???????????????? Who will help me drink it? :cool1:

[cruisemutt]

Mutts always answer the call to serve.....count me in.
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/nanadrinkkris.gif

Ron, just do as I suggested to a poster on the main board....bring a LOT of bubble wrap and a big ziploc bag just in case it does break! ;)

[TIGGER41681]

Good Saturday Afternoon To you Nana Heads :banana: :banana: ,
Today is a beautiful day here in NY. It's in the 70's and just sunny :sunny: :sunny: !! Today we went to see my Mom and Dad and my in-laws. DH is napping because DS had us up since 3:30am. While they are both napping I am going to make gravy and meatballs for dinner. Have a great weekend and Talk to you all Monday!!! :banana: :banana:

Just came in from cutting the lawn and trimming some trees. yikes it is getting hot and humid out... :crazy:

Now I get to go grocery shopping and them make dinner.... :goodvibes I just love my life. Maybe I shouldnt go on this cruise. I may never get back to normal, after having turn down service and all my meals made and served to me......second thought I guess I'll make the sacrifice.... :rolleyes1 I dont want to spoil DH's fun...

Well have a great saturday evening everyone.
I'm getting the hang of the two dogs here. Lesson learned do not give them any chew's and they get along great. If I give them chews they seem to want to kill each other....

Hey I just found this post and I'm excited to say I believe my family and I will be on this cruise!! It will be our fourth MAGICal cruise! So excited! Why won't those three months come and go any faster?! Indeed... My parents, my boyfriend (16), and myself (15) will all be going. Can't wait!

Had my picture taken with Captain Jack Sparrow on Pirate night and on CC!!!
Will post when I get them scanned and downloaded.

Yes, I did think of you guys, mostly about how JEALOUS you must be. Ha! Ha! :rotfl2:
I will write apost with all the highlight in the next couple of days.
For now I have dinner to fix, laundry to do, dishes to wash and nobody to do it for me!!

The withdrawals have started to set in. It's TERRIBLE!!!

Kathy :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Bill DH ate 2 bananas each day in your honor :banana: :banana:

[woogal]

First, welcome KATIE AND FAMILY!!! Glad you could join us!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

OK, people, explain something to me. Why is it that I can NEVER walk into a Target and only get what I went there for? What is it about that place? :confused3 Today I went for swim goggles, came out with goggles (on clearance), a new chain link and leather belt (but it was on clearance!) and sneakers (but they were marked down!!). And if I wouldn't have controlled myself, there would have been about 10 more belts, loads of eye shadow, a few bags (really, really cute red leather-like satchel for one!), and a dress that would've been perfect for semi-formal night that would've come home with me, too!

PERFECT weather here today and for the next week! Spent an hour laying out until the Target bug caught me!

WELCOME HOME KATHY!!!! You have a LOT of reading to catch up on!!

[Dixielady908]

I'M BACK!!!!

[LindaBabe]

Lampski, although drinking it would, of course, be more fun, couldn't you just ship the alcohol home from a 'mailboxes' store in Orlando?

That being said, I wish they'd just chace the terrorist and leave the rest of us alone - now I hear they're not even allowing baby gel filled teethers and pacifiers. Flying is going to be SUCH a JOY.

[kt7491]

Thanks to all of you welcoming us! Maybe we can meet up with your kids because we don't have anyone yet! Thanks again!

[runa00]

happy sunday morning nana heads!

just came back from seeing the lion king on "broadway" (well on broad street in philly same thing right?) it was amazing!!!! i highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. amazing. i want to go back.

off to atlantic city today to win some money for the cruise (i.e. spend money for the cruise)

just got a text from dave who said him and his friend just won a trip to nyc next weekend so im sure ill have more details when he gets home from the bar (jerk!) oh well i hope he has a "romantic" weekend in nyc with his friend lol.

alright off to bed for me so i can dream of winning lots of money tomorrow!

later naners!

[TiggerKing]

Good Morning Everyone, and welcome aboard Katie!

It is actually starting off as a beautiful day here today with the temp around 65. We are only supposed to go up to 80 degrees today, so we will enjoy it while we can. Tomorrow, it is back into the 90s, but maybe the humidity won't be so bad!

Have a great Sunday everyone!

[cruisemutt]

Hi Katie...welcome to you and your family....

Linda....I agree. This whole terrorist thing is a big pain for everyone (still, its probably for the best---better safe than sorry, right?). Maybe someone can help me out, though. I didn't hear or read the whole thing. Do these new regulations include everything including stuff packed and stored in stowed suitcases? All I wanted was a bottle of Starbucks Coffee Liqueur and some really good Tequila at those lovely duty-free prices---fiddlesticks... foiled again.

Hey Bob...I ran into some of your friends on my walk yesterday morning. I walk near a historical farm in our area and every year they hold a re-enactment of a civil war battle. I was stopped by a garrison of confederate troops moving acrossed a path. I told them that we would soon be moving towards Atlanta and that they WOULD respect OUR author-ata.
Anyways...
Have a great Sunday, everyone....
Stay cool.

[Dixielady908]

:dance3: Goodmorning fellow cruisin dancin nana heads: Wow thats a mouthfull.

Nothing planned here today. Just get a jump start on my week of cleaning. Having family over next weekend and ladies you know what that means....for a few hours of company about 20 hours of cleaning.. :crazy: But at least the house looks great for a week or two. ;)

Well everyone have a great Sunday.
