[LAMPSKIES]

O.K. you all....keep a seat warm for me here, I'm sailing next Saturday then going to hop into these......We are sailing with you all!!!

[justmestace]

Welcome Lampy and family!!

Everyone is pretty quiet here so far, but we have a loooong way to go. This is a great group!

[justmestace]

jEn....I am soooooo sorry to hear about Boo. Not exactly what you needed right now. Hang in there!




gaRry......you need to go in and delete all your old PM's !! I tried to send one and your box is too full!

[dobelover]

O.K. you all....keep a seat warm for me here, I'm sailing next Saturday then going to hop into these......We are sailing with you all!!!


ENJOY!



Sue

[dobelover]

Jen - So sad about Boo. She must not move for 3 weeks?



Sue

[wdwgoose]

staCey if I empty my pm box then someone would send me a pm
:confused3 :guilty: :confused3 :earboy2: :badpc: :badpc:

so ??????????????????????

you can just call me @ #$@ ^&*% @#$!*~ I'll be waiting



:rolleyes: :confused3 :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:


gaRry :rotfl: :rotfl:

[justmestace]

I e-mailed you too....you do not read those either?? :confused3 Wanted to know if you & DW made any decisions.

[DCLgodess]

nope she must remain as still as possible. I have her tied in a corner so that all her feed, water, and hay are right in front of her. If she walks around, the bruises/irritation/damage will only get worse. I guess i will have to run to the tack store again and pick up boredom busters. I will most likely start looking for another horse. It just makes me so mad/sad/frustrated. I will probably get a colt out of a famous stallion and not geld him. I am just crazy mad. The vet says its a 40% chance that she will never be able to be ridden again. :sniff: she will have to wait 2 years until she will be bred :sniff: but I will never get to see my baby have a happy life. :bursts into tears: :sad2: :sad2: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :( :worried: :sad: :sad:

[wdwgoose]

JEN I'm SO SO SORRY

would you want one of mine???????? I know there not the same in many ways.

let me know :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :love2:






gaRry

[justmestace]

I'm sorry, jEn! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_1_14.gif (*******************************************ZSzeb0 01_ZC)

[dobelover]

Geez Jen, I didn't know this was permanent. I remember you walking up the hill with her and she was feelin' her oats! What do you get a horse for boredom? This is just very sad news.




Sue

[justmestace]

Hey jEn....it's about 1:00 in the morning, I've been dinking around online. Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you right now.....pixie dust! :wizard:

[Denise Escola]

:wave2: Hi All,

Oh jEn. I am so sorry to hear about BOO.We will be thinking about her and sending some pixie dust. :grouphug:

Off to see Chicken Little today. The girls schools are closed so mommy gets a day away from work.
The weather has been lovely. Cloudy and cool, some rain (only a tease amount though). I'm in heaven.
Lets see whats new...Kira is counting to 10 ( she'll be three in a couple of weeks), Sierra is starting to read and scored above average for math, Paul is working like a dog and so am I. We are trying to figure out what to do with the lottery when we win. :rotfl: I said we would definately upgrade to the ROY Disney suite. 16 people for Thanksgiving this year. Remind me to have the grey matter checked.

I hope all is well with everybody. We are hoping to go to DL for Kira and my birthday. The commercials are out for Christmas at Disneyland. Golden ears and mistletoe.Has a nice ring to it .
Gotta go check the movie times.
Take care all..
cheers-D

[DCLgodess]

Thanks all for your pixie dust. She is feeling better. Instead of her whole leg being sore, its just the stifle area (which is around the hip). I put some linament on it to numb the pain and keep the area cool. To keep a horse from getting bored, you get them toys.

This is a roller.

they actually work too. lol. well, i am off to start my science fair. talk to you all later.

[LAMPSKIES]

Look out.....looks like some of the annual "thurkeyday" sailors are going to book while we are sailing this year!!! We have over 80 disers all linked together....some from the 04 sailing and some from the Easter sailing....ready or not here we come!!! Feel free to check out our thread if you want to see what you are in for!!

[dobelover]

Morning All



Hey gaRry - When we cruise in Jan '06 we want to get up early and see Magic come in. Where do you stay the night b4 and where do you go to see Magic? I would like to stay on the ocean and not have to drive that early in the am.


Sue

[magiroux]

Glad to hear Boo is feeling a bit better, Jen.

Sounds like we are going to have more great people joining us after they book Thankgiving. YEAH :cheer2: :banana: :banana: :cheer2:

Denise, hope you win so we can have a big party in your newly aquired suite. Glad to hear Sierra is doing well at school. They are like little sponges at this age. We are going to Jimmy's DB's for Turkey Day. SIL wants to show off her new kitchen with the $7,000 stove and that's fine by me. For that amount of money I think a little servant should pop out of the oven along with the turkey and serve dinner :rotfl:

So, started wrapping Christmas Presents last night. I figure if I do as I go along I won't feel so overwhelmed the week of Christmas. Was going to do some Black Friday Shopping but they are having such great sales now I though I might be able to bang it all out before then. Last year I barely decorated the house because we were not going to be around to enjoy it but this year I'm gonna go nuts and make up for it.

Well, it's supposed be 60 degrees here today. I think this is the third Sunday in a row it's been way above normal. I keep saying, "This will be the last nice day", so I'm gonna get out and enjoy it.

Everyone have a Great Sunday :wave:

[wdwgoose]

HAY ALL

sUe that would be the turning basin where she docks, she comes in quite fast then stops and does a 180 turn and docks there are more lights along the way but again she is moving right along. So I would say the best place is on the road at the terminal on the north side I hope that helps or jetty park as she comes in to the channel, RON JON has a new hotel right there or I stay at the raddision free parking for the cruise there and use there shuttle bus. neither place are you going to walk from


j E n I wish you would take me up on the offer. she will be very good at what you do. she does need a very good home, I can e mail you everything and send a video



WELL NOW this thread seems to not be moving fast. AGAIN, ALRIGHTIE
lets see the first one that post the most I'll by a steak dinner for at (WHERES GOOOD STEAK AT, AT WDW) between the 7 & 17 of DEC.

COME AND COLLECT scubas you must be dis alouwed you live tooooo close.

alright i must work 3 in a row off 1 work 1 off 2 work 1 OKAY you get it.

gaRry

[KatHuss]

Good morning all!

gaRry, you can't possibly expect people to post over the weekend? Some of us have things to do. Not me, maybe, but I am sure someone here does. :confused3

We spent yesterday doing demolition on part of a mobile home that my dh just helped his godparents buy. They are living in a house that is literally falling down around them and their son died in a car accident back in May so dh is the only one to help them now. Large chunks of floor had to be torn out and replaced due to a water heater leak at some point in the past. The floor was so bad that SIL fell through it at one point! Lots more to do, but made a good start yesterday.

Really getting ready for the NYC Thanksgiving trip now. Getting stuff together, etc. Got tix to take SIL to see CHICAGO. Should be interesting.

Gotta go get myself and dd ready for work....

later all...

[dobelover]

Morning All - It is "Disney" weather here. Mid 60's, sunny, with just a slight smell of rain. Hey Kat, don't work too hard, you have a Big Apple Thanksgiving coming up.


gaRry, Thanks for the info. I did a search on Ron Jon and could only find the surf shop. We will talk about driving to the park to see Magic come in. I am disappointed we can't sit on the beach and see her come by. (I didn't want to have to get dressed and drive that early).




Sue

[DCLgodess]

garry check out this colt. He's an early foal and he's only $700 for awesome bloodlines. Hollywood Dun It, Peppy San Badger, Doc Bar, Poco Bueno!

[dobelover]

OOOOHHHHHH, Jen. What a cute little fellow!






Sue

[Denise Escola]

Good looking baby jEn.

[magiroux]

talking might not be all they do. This colt is not gelded, and if I get him, I will not geld him. lol. Are you all catching my drift?

Sorry, ya lost me jEn :confused3


Denise, don't know too much about THE STOVE :worship: :worship: :worship: 'cept IT'S REALLY BIG. Has two full size ovens, eight burners and a stove top grill. A bit over the top, if you ask me, but her goal was to build her dream kitchen so she's happy and that's all that matters.

[wdwgoose]

j E n I'll trade you BABIE for him?????? BAbbie IS GREEN BROKE OR BETTER
part quarter horse strong hind quarters.FREE DELIVERY

[DCLgodess]

sorry garry. I need a pure Paint or Quarter horse because i want to show them at Paint worlds and/or Quarter horse congress. I am going to register Boo as a quarter horse because her mom and dad are both quarter horses. cool huh?

Denise, if i get the colt, he will remain a stallion. Boo is a girl.

[DCLgodess]

:bump: :wave:

[wdwgoose]

HAY ALL

KAT how are you doing with these storms?????



LATER




gaRry

[DCLgodess]

Does any one want to adopt a 17 year old girl and her horse? I am looking for a new home. Seriously. I can't live at mine anymore. My mom is being so unfair and so mean to me all I do anymore is cry. Will work and pay for food. Have to finish school, and then i will be on my way to someplace for college.

[justmestace]

Hey jEn.....sorry things are a mess right now. Hang in there...please.....

[dobelover]

Jen - Sorry about the problems at home.



Sue

[DCLgodess]

:listen: wow, i finally found a group of people who actually care about how I feel. Usually i just talk to the horses, but to actually talk to people feels good. Maybe things will be better in the morning after everybody has had some sleep. I am off to bed right now for some good rest. Thanks all. Thanks for being there. :grouphug:

[wdwgoose]

Good Morning - Going up to 70 today and then some really nasty weather may come our way. Our normal high is in the 50's so we may have to pay for the nice weather!




Sue

[dobelover]

Morning gaRry - Glad you got to stay inside, looks like your weather has been TERRIBLE!

[dobelover]

gaRry - Jan will be the 2nd time I have driven to the port. When you are down there please check out the closest hotel that is on the beach. That way we won't have to drive too far!




Thanks


Sue

[KatHuss]

Hello all! Yes, we survived the storms here. Lots of rain and some wind in my area, though lots of tornado watches and warnings yesterday. Those that touched down weren't anywhere near us, though.

It was in the 60s yesterday and now only 30s, brrrrrr.

I am home sick today. Achy and tired. I actually came home at lunchtime yesterday and slept all afternoon. Don't want to be sick on Thursday, going to the midnight Harry Potter movie, then NYC next week. NO SICK, NO NO NO!

Jen, hope things get better for you. if it weren't for the horses you'd be welcome here. We don't have room for horses in our yard! But dd would love to have one. There is a stable nearby that might board Boo, though. I guess I haven't been paying much attentiion on here lately (I haven't gotten my notifications in two or three days so I had to catch up), but what's up kiddo?

Well, I need to crawl back into bed or something. I am freezing and just want to sleep.... :sick:

[DCLgodess]

hey all. feeling alot better this morning. I talked to the vet yesterday and he showed me the X-rays. They aren't good looking. He said Boo can probably be untied sometime next week, but she will have to stay in her stall for another 6-8 weeks after that due to severe muscle damage. He is afraid that she could seriously hurt herself if she starts running around. I don't know what to do. There isn't much i can do with her except grooming. I am riding a horse for an older gentleman that only rides 1 time a month. His horse isn't the best behaved so i take care of him. But still, it's hard not to have your own. I am going to look at horses that are saddle broke. Like 2 year olds. I will let you know if i find anything. I don't think i want another baby. Too long until i can ride them.

[dobelover]

Jen - Glad you are in better spirits. And you at least can ride. Does Boo see you leaving with another horse? Does that upset her?


Kat - Sorry you are under the weather! Sending some get well quick thoughts!



Sue

[DCLgodess]

Boo is just upset she can't run around. She wants to get out and play. She's still just a kid. lol.

[dobelover]

Morning All - We made it thru the cold front! yesterday was 73 and balmy. Now it is just around 40. No bad storms around us.

Sue

[DCLgodess]

okay. brrr. its 27° here!!!!! too cold. wow. I will have to put Boo's new winter blanket on because tonight it's supposed to be 20°! toooooooooooo cold. i can't wait for cruise time. well, i best be off to school. TTYL!

[justmestace]

Just so you know, I try to not get into the weather discussions. At least in the winter. But it is pretty nice here......


Have a great day everyone!! I have to get to the office, I have our liability audit today. Nothing scary, they do it every year to determine your premium, but still not fun.

[DCLgodess]

yeah because you live were it's nice. okay checkin the temp right now....


From the National Weather Service...
It Feels Like

22°F

COLD!!!!!!!!! :cold:

[justmestace]

I was born and raised in Nebraska......left there when I was 23. I couldn't stand having to shovel just to get my car out of the driveway to go to work everyday.

You couldn't pay me enough to go back, I don't care how hot it gets here in the summer.

[KatHuss]

Well, I survived the midnight show of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, just barely! I got less than two hours of sleep and then up to go to work this morning. STUPID me!!! I am just barely hanging on right now. Maybe some soup for lunch will help. I sure hope so!!!

But it was good and I am glad I saw it.

Yawn.....

[DCLgodess]

well im hypothermic. so that's never good. lol.

[wdwgoose]

Well Must Bee A T O P Hear Somewhere





YES THERE WE ARE. pirate: :firefight

[dobelover]

Hi All -




Sue

[DCLgodess]

hi everybody. :wave2:

[dobelover]

Good Morning - I am glad there is nothing on my planner for today. I will catch up on housework and watch football. My 20yo niece will be celebrating her bday on Thanksgiving and wants an ice cream cake. I have a cherry, apple and 3 pumpkin pies in my freezer. Guess I will send my family home with a frozen pie along with the left overs. Dinner is at 5pm so no 2nd seating!



Sue

[KatHuss]

Sue, sounds like us most years! this year we will have leftover ham and lasagna I am sure. Instead of freezing the lasagna I will be putting it in containers and sending it home with people as we really don't want to haul it back to Indiana from New York! I got the lasgnas put together yesterday and put them in the freezer so they will make the trip from here to NYC and I don't have to spend the time putting them together there. Three more days and off we go.

Today is laundry and grocery shopping for me, then I can start packing for the trip. And DH is off to the trailer that his godparents bought today. We have to get the floors put back together so they can get moved in. There was so much water damage from when some idiot put in a new water heater and didn't get the coupling tightened properly. He got the damaged floor out last week but hasn't had the time to go back and get any more done since last Sunday.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!!

[dobelover]

Kat - I love hearing Thanksgiving menus. Lasagna and not turkey! What else? We have turkey, stuffing/dressing, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, gravy and green bean casserole. Ham and mashed sweet potatoes, warm rolls. And usually pumkin pie!!!!!!!!



Sue

[DCLgodess]

Well the vet came and saw Boo. She is 90% healed. She can go for long hand walks and short hand trots. Still no turnout but at least she can get out of her stall. That also means i have to get up at 5 in the morning to go walk her before school since it has to be twice a day. ACK!

[magiroux]

Glad Boo is feeling better. 5am...bet it's cold too, but it's for a good cause.

I love hearing everyone's Thanksgiving Day menu too. And I love watching the different cooking shows for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sauerkraut??? I don't think I've heard of that one before. How/what do you serve it with?

When I lived at home it was always lasagna in late morning (after the High School football game) and Turkey with all the fixin's at dinner time. Basically an all day eat fest :earseek: . We're Italian, we can't help it...there's never enough food. DH's family always has the big meal about 1 o'clock so I haven't carried on that tradition. My SIL's Mom makes a meat stuffing that is like GOLD. It tastes like nothing else I have ever tried and is soooooo good. It is literally rationed around the table and I pity the fool who takes more than their fair share pirate:

Kat, question for you. You say you "put together" your lasagna and froze it. Did you cook it first? I wanted to make a spinach lasagna for a ski trip but can't cook it because the sauce that goes with it I know will not freeze well, but I wasn't sure if the ricotta and eggs would be ok to freeze before cooking. Just wondering if that is how you do it. Thanks.

[DCLgodess]

It will be about 22° at that time. Will dress up in many many layers. I will be doing this for 10 days. lol.

[justmestace]

jEn....glad to hear about Boo...not so glad that you'll be freezing your nose off at 5:00 a.m.!!


We have a totally traditional Thanksgiving....turkey, stuffing, mashed 'taters, sweet potatoes (with brown sugar sauce and marshmallows...mmmm) green bean casserole, cranberry jelly, rolls, pumpkin pie and my special apple crisp.

The sauerkraut sounds good to me. There's a Bohemian restaurant back home that we HAVE to go to when I'm there, and I always get the roast chicken and sauerkraut. The kraut is in a slighty sweet, creamy sauce. I searched and searched for the recipe, and finally found one in Jay's Great-Grandma's cookbook. Only made it once, I'm the only one who likes sauerkraut.

[dobelover]

Morning All - The sauerkraut for Thanksgiving is regional. Native Baltimore folks and local restaurants have it. Last year on the Magic I had ham for Christmas cause turkey just wasn't the same without the 'kraut!



Sue

[DCLgodess]

It was cold, but i survived. lol. I seem to be missing the theme of the last couple of pages, so i will not miss it anymore. Let's see. My family has a big turkey, mashed and sweet potatoes, stuffing (<--my favorite), and lots of veggies. lol. I love stuffing. I am the "carb" queen. Then we watch a football game or I take my family over to see my horse. The kids sometimes go riding with me if i can snag a few horses to borrow otherwise they take turns riding. This year i will have to borrow a horse for them to ride because even though Boo is 90% healed, the condition (whatever it may be) may still come back.

[dobelover]

Hi Jen - Did Boo enjoy her 1st walk?




Sue

[DCLgodess]

Boo enjoyed being out of her stall. i don't think she liked going as slow as a walk. She took about 10 steps and started bouncing around, took another 10 steps, started bouncing around. That pattern continued for about 5 minutes. My arm hurts from all the pulling. lol.

[wdwgoose]

GOOD MORNIN ALL

j E n glad too hear about BOO The offer is still good she really could use the work out all winter. My kids don't want too at all.
I was going to look at buying 2 more but thought NOT if I cann't work all the ones I have now. Found 2 people to help work my horses so they have started. It should be easyier on me and much better for them.

staCey I'll be there or send me a care dinner?????? :confused3 :rotfl2:
:rotfl: :confused3 :rotfl2: :rolleyes1


okay back too work for me take care all

by the way I cancelled my docs appointment for this month and next
JUST wanted to make my trip to W D W a more H A P P Y ONE

NOW if I can do this til after my cruise in DEC. I will BE VERY HAPPY



HAVE A GREAT DAY



gaRry

[DCLgodess]

Bad boy garry. You need to go to the doctor! My mom keeps asking about you. She keeps saying "has garry gone to the doctor yet?". I have to keep telling her no. She says that's very very bad for you. Tisk Tisk. :stern look:

Going to walk Boo again later. And then back up again at 5 in the morning to walk her tomorrow and the next day. lol. I am thinking about getting her better feed. she has to eat almost 2 scoops of what she's on now just to maintain her weight and energy. I think i am going to go with either Triple Crown or Purina. She is on Purina's Strategy, but it's doing nothing for her.

[wdwgoose]

AND I COULD OF HAD A T O P


j E n I can bring some of my sweet feed out. WITH HER. Its vatimen and lots of that stuff. very good let me know, my pigs fatten up very good with this stuff. just let me know and your buying dinner :guilty: :confused3 :banana: :banana:





gaRry

[justmestace]

Now it's MY turn! I am very angry with you, Mr. Goose!! You NEED to go see the docs, whether it makes you unhappy or not. Do I have to come up there??? You should be horse-whipped.....turned over someone's knee....sat in the corner....(oooh I'm so mean).....

I'm telling your wife. :mad:

[wdwgoose]

YES YES YES (kids leave the room)


yes YES




staCey my giRl :rolleyes: :teeth: :wave: :rolleyes1

[KatHuss]

MaryAnn, I have never frozen the lasagna before making it but the instructions I used said I could. I didn't use egg because my aunt is a vegetarian and doesn't eat egg but she does eat cheese so that is good.

Weeeeee....gotta go get some sleep. Work tomorrow, make dinner, eat, wait for SIL to get home, then off we go....

happpy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!

[Denise Escola]

Hi everybody!
Great news Jen. Yeah for Boo.

Traditional dinner here. Turkey, stuffing, giblet gravy, green beans (no casserole just Texas style with bacon and onion), sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn scallop, cranberry sauce, and Paul is making a pie and creme brulee'. God I love that man.
Yep its a vertiable carb fest. Sweet potaotes are tradition in my family but Paul is used to mashed so now we have both.

I've made lasagne before and froze it. No problem. Eggs freeze fine.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with those you love.

TTFN, -D

[DCLgodess]

you Bitc* slap him stacey! oh i guess i was supposed to NOT read that. oh heck. I'm a young adult, not a kid. lol. I got Boo some Purina Complete Advantage. It's like mash kind of stuff. Its crushed pelets with sweet feed, oats, and corn mixed in to make it sticky crushed pelets. Sounds yummy huh? i will have to take a picture sometime. well, i have to make plans for a video project. My group has to make an advertisement for a product dealing with the Greek god Poseiden. He is the God of horses, so we are making horses the new fashion statement. Our slogan is... (don't laugh!)

"The newest, hottest thing for between your legs! Get a horse and always be fashionable!"

[dobelover]

Morning All - Hey, Jen, you could sell that to Harley-Davidson!



Sue

[justmestace]

jEn...that's pretty good. You should get a decent grade for that one. :)

I was thinking about all the carbs we'll be consuming....and then I just quit thinking. :rotfl:


Sounds like gaRry likes the idea of being whipped and turned over someone's knee......not even going there.........but the things you see on the internet, oh my!

Hey, if Stouffer's can freeze lasagne, why can't we??

Here's my informational tid bit for the day:

You can buy at casket at Costco.com and have it shipped overnight.
Just keep that in mind, gaRry.

[wdwgoose]

YES BUT DOES IT HAVE HORSES ON IT ??????????


IT IS VERY COLD HERE i think I'm getting sick

I need to go some where its WARM and SNUGGLE
anyone have dryer sheets extra




staCey I will get a H U G for you OR 2 OR 3 OR just 1 from MINNIE


WHAT NO PM'S WELL :guilty: :confused3


I guess no one :love: :love: :love1: :confused3 :confused3





okay time for din din



gaRry :lovestruc :rolleyes:

[DCLgodess]

garry we are just concered for your health. OMG! it was so funny. So i used a Dash For Cash grandson i am training named Cisco for our project. (Dash for Cash is the greatest quarter horse and for that matter one of the greatest race horses and sires). Cash sires all the great barrel horses. So Cisco is really fast. I am riding in a toga (a fleece horse blanket wrapped around me) and with towels for a "saddle". Just colored towels. So i put Cisco into a run and OMG he was flying. And then i asked him to stop and he slid and i almost went off the front. The girls doing the filming didn't think he was going to stop. I didn't think he was going to slide. He usually just slows down and stops. It was hysterical. Anyway, that one is going on the out-takes section of our dvd. lol.

[DCLgodess]

OMG! my local country radio station is taking a 4-day Wonder cruise next october! How cool is that?! AHH! The site is being poo so i can't get the info. I think it's cool anyhow.

[wdwgoose]

YES j E n :love1: :love2: :love1: :love2: :love: LUV you TOO

I know I just get tired of these pills and junk.

LUV YA

gaRry

[DCLgodess]

Did more filming in my greek "toga" and "saddle". Cisco was horribly bad, but it was funny because he looked wild. lol. Boo was bad too. it must have been the really cold weather. Now, i am just waiting for my new DVD burner to install itself. Its an internal drive (means it actually goes in the tower), so it takes a LONG time to install. Anyhow, i will just wait and wait. Its up to 33% done. lol. :bored:

[justmestace]

jEn...love your Boo pixels! You made me laugh, I was picturing you in your 'toga". Too funny.


Hey, gaRry. I know it stinks. Life stinks sometimes, didn't anyone tell you that?
Just be glad you weren't a girl who had to have periods forever. That gets old fast, too.
You need a vacation.....it's been too long since you had a real one!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Eat lots of turkey and worry about the diet Saturday. It's snowing like crazy here..knew I show have plugged all the outdoor X-Mas lights in last week. Oh well!!

[magiroux]

Paul is making a pie and creme brulee'. God I love that man.



...creme brulee'!! All's I can say is, "What a man" :worship: :worship:

Have a great day Denise!!

[Denise Escola]

Happy Thanksgiving Day Everybody!

Our love to you and yours on this wonderful day. :love2:

Off to cook up a storm. Bon apetit' y'all.

cheers, -D

[DCLgodess]

i am working on more pixels! lol. i will add them to my sig when they are done.

[DCLgodess]

lookie! more Boo pixels and check out my digital horse.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/estelmiire/linehorse.jpg

whatcha think? hey garry! i will make you horse pixels if you give me a side picture of your horse. I need him/her to stand square, but with all 4 legs visible. Has to be a side shot, but it doesn't matter which side (just pick whatever looks better). Just keep the horse's head looking straight ahead, as I have not made a template for face views.

[justmestace]

Hope everyone had a great day! Everything we had was great....for some reason it seemed so much better than last year. Maybe I just forget in between.

I did prove to my family that I still know how to cook. And how to have it all ready at the same time. Double ovens are a god-send.

Ohhhh, Mary Ann.....NO SNOW!! Wasn't there enough of that LAST YEAR??

I think I'll have Jay get the furnace up and running this weekend. Our nights and mornings are getting cold, and I don't want to wait until it's too late. It's been really nice so far, though.

gaRry...I didn't say nothin' about PM'S.....did I?? I don't have any.....:flower:

[wdwgoose]

HAY ALL

VERY NICE FREEZING DAY

[ICEMANPAD]

We just got off the Thanksgiving Magic today. While onboard, we rebooked for the 10 day 12/16/06 10 day Magic cruise. We sailed the week of thanksgiving 2004 and 2005 with a WONDERFUL group of Disers. Quite a few will be invading this thread since we all rebooked on board. Hello to Willie and Kelli and Hello to John and Julia!!

I haven't had a chance to read this thread. Please let me know if there is any sort of spreadsheet or website created for this group. We are a family of 3-(DH)-Chuck, (DS)-Mason who will be 7 at the time of the cruise and I am Lisa. We are looking forward to getting to know ya'all!!

[wdwgoose]

WELCOME ICEMANPAD

YES the luvly DCLgodess has somethings set up

LEAVING ???????


W D W LEAVING ON NEXTED MONDAY



PHILLY TONIGHT






gaRry :confused3

[dobelover]

I have tried to figure out a way to get to WDW for xmas, just not in the budget. The Jan 06 cruise on Magic will be a good substitute. Jeanne and I will go down a few days early in Dec 06 to see the WDW decorations. I have always wanted to use the resort to port check in.



Sue

[ICEMANPAD]

gaRy-Thanks for the info about being added to the cruise list!! I pm'd our info. Sorry--we will not be in one of the suites!! On our first cruise last year we booked so late that we were in a cat 11. This year we were spoiled because we were in a cat 6. In order to be able to justify the jump in price for the 10 day cruise, we had go to back and book a cat 11. At least we will be on the ship!!


Lisa

[magiroux]

Welcome back home all you Turkey Day cruisers. I can tell you are all still PUMPED UP from your cruise...it's a great feeling. I had it for about a month after last year's cruise.

In our cruising party are DH - Jim (43), DD - Julia (10) & myself (43). Looking forward to getting to know you all :wave:

pooh luver...sorry you're jumping ship :sad1: I really hope DD's school schedule doesn't become a problem for us. For right now, I'm just ignoring that issue.

Well, just looked at the 10 day forecast for WDW. Heading down Friday Morn for Karen's Jellyrolls meet and the weather looks fine & dandy (sorry, gaRry, just gonna miss you). Well, that is if Delta pilots don't strike and we don't get ANOTHER snow storm. Yes, Stacey...SNOW already :earseek:. I want it to snow 'cause we are going skiing X-Mas vacation week, but just not on Dec 2nd.

Well, got our tree yesterday so today I will begin to decorate. It's a week long process in my house 'cause I'm a little anal when it come to tree decorating :teeth: so have to get it started!!!

Everyone have a great day!!!

[wdwgoose]

MaRyAnn
how long are you going to be down??????
I leave a week from MONDAY?????
I get to drive AGAIN taking a different car this time.




gaRry

[KatHuss]

Hi everyone! Just got back from driving out to NYC over turkey day. I am soooo glad to be home. 7 of us in a van for that long is waaaaaay too much togetherness for 5 days. Jen, we drove through your part of the country, though. I saw the signs for Hershey off of I-70 and thought of everyone here.

I have mostly finished unpacking but still have a few things to finish unpacking. I wanted to take a break, though.

Well, back to the unpacking mess....

Hello Christmas Cruisers!
I peeked in here a few months ago and said hey. We just booked the 10 day Christmas while sailing the Thanksgiving Magic. It was an eventful sailing. as I am sure you guys will hear!
I am Willie, and my DW is Kelli. We have two DD's that will be ages 16 and 11 next year when we sail.

Here is a pic from last week of Ron(Lampskies) and his wife Kim, with Kelli and I.

Hi Sue!

No, the Wonder had to have a sea day. so they just sailed by real close. We were on a snorkel trip, so we were out near the Wonder when it came by. There were tons of people on the rail waving and taking pics of CC.
Here is a pic

That is so neat to see both ships! We were on Wonder in '02 and sailed past Magic in PC. Magic was 'out of service' for virus cleaning. I get goosebumps remembering the dueling horns, waves and cheers. Thank you for the pic.

I did think of calling you while I was out there???????

was in PHILLY again. WELL maybee I'll just have to visit you'all in JAN.
when its WARM.

did the storm hit you very bad ????????




gaRry

[dobelover]

We were lucky when the storm came thru, some wind and rain, not too bad. Liz was hoping you would stop. We will only be in Cocoa Beach the night b4 the Magic. This is a down and back cruise, no WDW. Did you get the email I sent? Let's get together next time you go to Philly!!



Sue

[DCLgodess]

hey all. wow did i miss alot. So many new people. I have added ICEMANPAD to the cruise list? anybody else need added? i made the update yesterday so if you're not on it, email me with:

1- Board name
2- Real Name
3- All sailing & Ages
4- Stateroom(s)
5- Dining time (main or late)
6- Preferred rotation (like APL if you want to be in Lumiere's on christmas day)

[KatHuss]

Jen, do you think they'd let all of us have the same rotation? I don't really care what rotation as long as we can sit with some of the fine folk from this board! This will be our first time doing late seating so it is an experiment for us. I expect dd will probably not eat many dinners with us as she likes to eat earlier but that is fine. She can eat with the kids club as far as I am concerned. Makes for a quieter, more peaceful dinner for us anyway!

I cannot believe we are getting closer to the one year mark on this cruise! It still seems waaaaay to far off but it gets closer everyday! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[DCLgodess]

yeah they will as long as one person calls and tells them what reservation numbers will be sitting around eachother. Then each individual party as to call and verify that they agreed to this arrangement. Sounds fun huh? I think a majority of the DIS group as main, as i was just looking over the list. I am going to try and add a picture column, so everybody knows who's who as the DIS meet, but that's far from done. lol. I was reading the first couple pages of this thread and wow, lol, it was sooooo dead. lol. There were maybe 5 different people posting and that's it. Now we are up to 15 at the least.

[ICEMANPAD]

DCL Goddess-Thanks for adding us to the trip list!!

Kat- I think we had 28 tables linked together for the thanksgiving magic this cruise. Thanks to Ron we all had late seating apl rotation--it was perfect!! We were all in the same area of the dining rooms. On semi formal night right after dinner we all posed in the atrium. I believe there is a picture on the 11/19/05 live thread.

To any of you who did the 10 day holiday cruise in 2004, please let us know how many formal nights there were and which nights they were. Thanks!!

Chuck and Lisa

[DCLgodess]

if you go to the site for this cruise, and go to onboard, you can get all the personal navigators for the past 10 day. Hey, how does the Magic look after her dry-docking?

[ICEMANPAD]

Thanks for the info!! The Magic looks great---there is a large movie screen over the Goofy pool. On Thanksgiving they had football on the large screen so no one needed to miss a game while on vacation!! Scoops turned into Goofy's Galley--fresh fruit, sandwiches and pasta all day long. I heard that the improvements to the spa were amazing---I never made it up there--silly me!! Also, Rockin Bar D is now non smoking which is great!! I am very smoke sensitive and last year I wasn't able to spend any time there. You have to see the pictures of John, Ron and Willie at 80s night!!


Lisa

[magicalfam5]

Hi everyone :wave2:
Just popping in to say hello. Boy I wish this cruise was this Christmas instead of next. My friend leaves in a few weeks for a Carnival cruise and she hasn't even started getting ready for it! I was already figuring out what Christmas tree to take next year. I think we'll take my DD's American Girl doll tree. It packs away very easily. She doesn't mind since she's beyond the doll stage by many years. Welcome to all the new cruisers!

I mailed a fully-decorated one to the ship last year...cost all of $14.00 and then just donated it to the ladies manning the DISNEY VACATION CLUB desk. As far as I know they're still hauling it out of the ship closet each Christmas decoration time....


Well, I just couldn't stand the wait so I've signed up for another Service Dog cruise...Transatlantic...Miami to Portugal then Barcelona to Disneyland Paris by train for a few days, then home....Great way to celebrate # 60 huh?
:wizard:

[KatHuss]

Jen, let me know if you need pics. I think I have some of us somewhere. I might have even scanned a family pic from our 2004 7 day cruise.

Looks like there are a lot more of us :) , despite the losses :sad2: . Should be a fun bunch.

[videogal1]

hey lynda. it was 14 here this morning with the wind chill factor. ROASTY! lol. :wizard:


Brrr!

I've still got to get a well house put up before THAT kind of cold hits here! When I had my well fixed in April they tore down...well, actually pushed over,... my old rotten well house and now my spiffy new pipes are exposed to the weather, which means hot water in the summer and frozen pipes at the well if the temp gets down to what you're putting up with...

Hi everyone...Cash says Hi, too...
:paw:

[dobelover]

I have missed hearing about your adventures with Cash the Wonder Dog or was it the Mighty Ripper!!!! I have decided to do a few days in WDW b4 the cruise rather than the 4 night Magic. I really can't be gone longer 'cause I would miss Sam too much.


Good Luck to you and Boo, Jen.




Sue

[DCLgodess]

The vet thinks Boo is going to be fine...

but


On a really serious note...

I would like to send my prayers to Afleet Alex who was retired today with a major bone chip. He is only 3. For those of you who don't know who afleet Alex is please pray for this year's Eclipse Award winner for 3 year olds and possibly horse of the year. He won the Preakness after almost falling, and then won the Belmont in the 3rd fastest time in recorded belmont history and won by a margin second only to Secretariat. May god be with you Alex as you recover. May the rest of your life be peaceful and may your offspring have your heart, so that we may remember you name forever.

A tribute to Afleet Alex...

gaRry

[KatHuss]

Boy, gaRry really likes his tops, doesn't he???

Well, after looking at our finances we decided to downgrade our stateroom, but it is better than cancelling our cruise! We are no longer on Deck 6 in a cat 8, now on deck 2 in a cat 10 (the only 10's left are on deck 2 and there were only a few of those left!). DH decided that since we aren't going to have a veranda we might as well just do the inside room. Since the difference between a 10 and an 11 was only $200 we decided to go for the 10 and get the little bit of extra space and the split bath. We have never had one so it should be interesting. We have had two cat 11s and then a 3 on the last cruise. Quite a difference! But we don't spend that much time in our room so what the heck. And it gives us a little more discretionary money for the trip so I am not going to complain too much.

Hope everyone is well this fine Monday morning.

[WMILLER86]

What is a "tops" ?? Is it something special?


W

[KatHuss]

A top is the top of a new page.

The Thanksgiving thread we had started kinda slow. We only had about 200 posts last Spring. But by the end of Summer we had a ton of people posting lots of pictures of prior cruises, etc. It got to be alot of fun. We ended up with 5,131 posts.
You guys already have a good start here, so the sky is the limit. We ended up having 28 staterooms linked for dining. Which I am not sure was a good idea or not!

It wasn't so "good" when Kim was at a seperate table :rotfl2:

[KatHuss]

It will be interesting to see how many we finally end up with. I am sure there will be a lot of us. I am in the apparent minority who have chosen late dinner seating, a first for us (we usually do early). Still, it should be fun.

And only 53.71 weeks left until we depart! Pretty soon we will be under the one year mark, woohoooo!!! Can I start packing yet???? No, that would probably see me in divorce court, never mind!

[dobelover]

Kat - I am trying not to pack for my 1/28/06 so I understand! Glad to see the postst from you Turkey Cruisers. I like hearing about your trip.




Sue

[WMILLER86]

Kat,
you won't be alone at late seating. We really like it. It gave us time to get back from shore excursions, relax. And decide if we wanted to see the early show or not. No rush to eat. Our seating time this past Nov. was at 8:00 Pm each night. We really had a lot of fun at late dining. The late dining also had very few younger age kids. But there were LOTS OF BIG KIDS! :rolleyes: -(See below)

[KatHuss]

Sue, I could get away with starting to pack for that one. Wish I was going with you! I could use a cruise right now. It has gotten really cold here and it isn't even officially winter yet!

W - that sounds good. My DH is a big kid so he will fit in well. DD will likely be eating with the kids most nights so we should be fine. We will definitely have to link everyone together and get seated near/with the rest of our crazy crew. We have never done that so it will be fun to have folks we have gotten to know prior to the cruise.

[LAMPSKIES]

It will be interesting to see how many we finally end up with. I am sure there will be a lot of us. I am in the apparent minority who have chosen late dinner seating, a first for us (we usually do early). Still, it should be fun.

And only 53.71 weeks left until we depart! Pretty soon we will be under the one year mark, woohoooo!!! Can I start packing yet???? No, that would probably see me in divorce court, never mind!

Kat.....when the late/early debate comes up I ALWAYS tell the story of me strolling down by the internet cafe around 6 sipping one of my favorite beverages, thinking about a relaxing day at port, checking on my DD to let her know we have a couple of hours before dinner when down the stairs comes a family of about 8 Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa and kids yelling and screaming "come on hurry up, we have already missed the pictures lets not be late for dinner......again!

[KatHuss]

We have always eaten early, primarily because of DD. We decided that on this cruise we will let her eat early in the buffet if she wants and then we will go to dinner without her most days (I would like her to have dinner with us on Christmas Day). When we cruised in June we were a table away from what appeared to be a single mom with a child still in a stroller. By the last night she and the child were the only ones at their large table. She brought the stroller in and then kept trying to feed him but he kept screaming. Why she insisted on staying in there with him I have no idea but we had had enough. Fortunately we had pretty much finished our dinner so we got up and left but I understand what you mean about avoiding that type of thing!

[dobelover]

On the '04 holiday cruise the early and late Dis folks had the same tables/servers. I kept saying I was going to visit the late group but never got around to it. Maybe this cruise we can switch for a dinner.

[magiroux]

OFF TOO SEE DAAAAAAAAAAA MOUSE




HEY gaRry....a little late, but HAVE A SAFE TRIP :wave:

Just got back from at weekend at the Mouse House and what a great time. Great people, weather was perfect and went solo so I could do what I wanted when I wanted. Did the Segway Tour and I highly recommend it. It was fantastic and very easy to operate. Told hubby, "I want one!!"

Kat, I'm on late seating too so you're not alone. I think Denise is too. I would be happy to do the arrangments for linking the Late Seating. It's still too early to get the lists together and I would not call until about the 30 day mark. On the '04 cruise someone switched to early after we were all linked and the entire group ended up being switched to early. It was a bit of a nightmare for a few days, so it's best to wait. Willie, I love late seating too. You really don't feel rushed, especially after a day in the ports.

Mary Ann......Willie and I linked together and everyone else linked to "us" so both would have had to switched to early.....

[ICEMANPAD]

This will be our 3rd DCL cruise and we have chosen late seating for all of the cruises. Our DS who will be 7 at the time of the '06 cruise would not want to sit for such a long dinner whether we chose early or late seating. He loves the OC and spends most of his time at the Club. Other advantages of late seating--the character breakfast and the last morning breakfast are not at the crack of dawn--Our DS always has graced us w/ his presence at those meals!!


Lisa

[KatHuss]

Ron, we are from Muncie. I think we had this conversation earlier when discussing flights out of Indy. We are probably not going to fly out until Saturday morning for this one. DD has school and I don't know if I will be able to get the Friday off from work as I am taking the entire next week and part of the following week for the cruise.

[DCLgodess]

Hey all. oh that's right, garry's not here. Oh well. Guess my horse news will have to wait..........


or not......

Boo is getting her very first shoes tomorrow. the vet has to come and tranquilize her so the farrier doesn't get killed.

Sue
Sue, can you post some pics from your 2004 Holiday Cruise? Did yall have any DIS meets? As you can probably tell, Lampy and I are not very sociable. We really have a hard time in public. So we will want to set up a few meets to get to know everybody.

W

[KatHuss]

Are we really supposed to believe that???? :rotfl2:

I imagine a few meets will definitely be in the offing. I know I'd love to get together with folks and have some fun. It will be the first cruise we have gone on where we actually "know" anyone ahead of time. We have done three others and never had anyone to hang out with. There was supposed to be a meet on the one we went on in 2004 but it was scheduled during the sailaway party and because of the rain it never happened. :(

[dee47]

Willie, Welcome!

How often are you told you look just like Scotty from Star Trek??? Or is it just in your pictures?

Trust me, if this cruise is anything like the 04 one, we'll have several get-togethers! I'm all for a repeat of the ornament exchange, BTW!

We have late sitting, and we already linked with our table partners from the last 10-night. They were the BEST dinner partners, so we're ecstatic they're sailing again and we can have dinners together again.

<crawling back under my rock>

[dobelover]

Willie - I just got a digital camera and still have no web site. So no pix from me, sorry. I will ask some folks from the '04 to post for me. Anything specific you are wantin' to see?

Hi Dee. What time are you getting to the port on 2/4? We aren't in any hurry to leave since we only have about 1 hour to the auto train terminal.

If you guys were the "best" you don't want to be around this bunch....food fights, multible bottles of wine, cases of beer, double dinner orders.....it got ugly! :rotfl2:

Ha ha!! Yea right--Willie and Lampy not sociable!! :confused3 :confused3 The Dis Meets on the '04 and '05 Thanksgiving Magic cruises were great!! We are looking forward to more adventures on the '06 10 day Magic!!


Lisa and Chuck

[KatHuss]

Garry picked the right time to be in Florida, that's for sure. I think I could use some of that tropical warmth right now!!!!!!! We are buried under snow and wrapped in cold this morning!! DDs school was cancelled last night so she is off today, lucky her. Actually, I had already taken the afternoon off so I can get my Christmas shopping done and I still plan on doing that. And tonight is Narnia! What a day it will be.

So who else got hit by this mess? I bet you did, didn't you Ron?

Walkin' in a winter wonderland.......

[dobelover]

Not too bad here in Central Md. It started out at 6am with 4" of snow. Then we got sleet and it is down to 2.5".



Sue

[magiroux]

We're getting the storm now. Started about 5:30am, but not going to get hit with the worst (1-2 inches/hour) 'till about noon. Since I'm going skiing for Christmas vacation this year I hope it snows every day....JUST NO RAIN..makes the skiing just too crunchy :goodvibes

[KatHuss]

I looked at the maps this morning. Looks like it was hitting eastern PA, NJ and New England this morning.

MaryAnn, hope it doesn't get too bad there. It was practically whiteout here when I left work last night. DH drove me to work this morning. Our road was the worst, drifted in places. Most of the main roads were already clear though. All the area schools cancelled this morning, though, so DH is home this morning as his morning class got cancelled when they cancelled the city schools.

I should be ok this afternoon when I go out to finish my shopping. Hopefully I can get the rest of it done and not have to worry about it. Then cookie baking tomorrow morning. And tree decorating. I got most of the inside decorations up the other day but haven't gotten the tree up yet. My goal for tomorrow is to do that and get my baking done.

Well, back to work.......

[wdwgoose]

hey this is GreGg, GaRry's DS he's in sunny warm FL. right now :cool1: . he told me to do this.


so hi from him in FL.

SNOW DAY!

[WMILLER86]

Willie, Welcome!

How often are you told you look just like Scotty from Star Trek??? Or is it just in your pictures?


<crawling back under my rock>


Hmmmm? The guy who played Scotty on Star Trek was James Doohan?(sp) He was 5'7" tall and 85 years old when he passed away last July.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/arodnite/scotty.jpg

Willie Miller is six foot, three inches tall, weighs 260 on "light" days, age 47 and is the biggest "hick redneck" that the State of Texas has ever produced. (And proud of it!)

Are you saying that I look like a dead 85 year old Scottsman? If so, I guess I had better change my signature pic soon!


WilLiE

[dee47]

No, I'm saying your face looks a lot like Jimmy Doohan's face when he was in his 50s.

[cody'smom]

For all of you Christmas 06 cruisers who were not on the Turkey Day cruise - you are lucky to have to have some of the Turkey Day cruisers sailing with you!!! They were all very nice, and alot of fun!!!! There were a couple trouble makers in the group, and I see that they did rebook for your cruise, but you'll be able to figure out which ones they are long before you sail!!! Okay, so there really was only one trouble maker.... :rotfl:

[KatHuss]

Only one??? :tongue:

No, I'm saying your face looks a lot like Jimmy Doohan's face when he was in his 50s.

Hey at least you did not say I look like Worf.

But you could have said Capt KirK!

Beam yerself up Scotty!

Now that you mention it.. I totally forgot about you, the quiet troublemaker... I was trying to give Lampy all the credit!!!! pam

[justmestace]

Hey...I talked to gaRry just now...he was driving back from Port Canaveral. He went down to watch the Magic sail off....took some pictures, and wished he was on her!!

[KatHuss]

I wish I was on the Magic right now too! We got a bit more snow last night and the forecast this morning says possibility of freezing rain and/or snow this morning. And a chance of another snowstorm on Wednesday!!! Brrrrrrrrrr.

Saw the new Pirates of the Caribbean trailer when we went to see Narnia Friday night! Looks like lots of fun but not out until July of next year.

Got my tree up and decorated last night. It looks so pretty. Now if I can keep the cats from sleeping under the tree. I spent quite a while defurring the skirt before I could put it out. At least they don't try to climb it or knock ornaments down!

DD had a slumber party last night. I have five 8 and 9 year old girls in my living room being giggly right now. They are still so cute at that age! I need to go make breakfast soon then off to the grocery store and then to start my Christmas cookie baking.

Later.....

[DCLgodess]

hey all. sorry i've been "missing" lately. Been getting Boo ready to go off to professional training with a top reiner. I have some really funny pictures of Boo to upload to my gallery. Will let you know when they are uploaded.

[justmestace]

Kat...I usually have a group of 5-7 15 year old cheerleaders...still giggly at 15, and still a lot of fun to listen to. Amazing how much I learn by eavesdropping!


jEn...how is Boo doing now? Better?


Heading to Target for about the 4th time this week. I wish everyone would let me know what they ran out of BEFORE I make the 1st trip of the week!

[ICEMANPAD]

jEn-I was just looking at the list of Disers you put together for the cruise. Thanks for doing such a great job!! However, I didn't see Willie aka Scotty and his family listed!! I thought he sent his family's info to you.

If not, Willie-pls pm your info to jEn. Thanks!!

[WMILLER86]

Now......theres two guys who look like trouble makers......... :rotfl2:

Luckily I wasn't drinking anything when I saw that picture of you guys....not the fighting over the beer one, the other one!

http://www.padmeswardrobe.com/images/episodeII/padme/retreat/IIPD025.jpg

i am getting an exact replica made for me, minus the hair piece. It comes with a more formal head piece. So look for me to wear that on the next cruise lol.

I feel like i have been too absent here. Who agrees?

[dobelover]

Hi Jen, yes you have been missed! Waiting for an update on Boo. I couldn't get the link for the dress.



And gaRry should be back soon.


Sue

[dee47]

Morning all!

Sue, we're staying at AKL prior to the cruise, so I'll be at the terminal whenever the AKL bus gets there. I suppose I should find out more specifically, right? :rotfl: :rotfl:

Also, you can tell your sister I've never done a Western before (been on 4 DCL cruises so far). Sure she won't change her mind???

I hope to see you in the terminal! I'll try to find out when the bus gets there.

Jen, the link is broken, and I'm dying to see the dress!

[DCLgodess]

i can get it to work. that's really strange that you all can't. I guess i will have to post the picture here. It's really big though. Boo is wonderful. I am in the process of posting new pictures in my gallery of her playing in the snow. Check them out as soon as i post this.


Here is the dress.

Hey Dubya, how many Miller lites do you think that DCL would need to stock for 10 DAYS! And Kelly didn't do so bad in the wine deparment at dinner.....and Mojitos.............mmmmmmmmmmmm
Dang it, can't find a pic of the Mojito. Have a hard time describing it. "Well it sorta looks like water with lawn clippings in it!"
But it tasted pretty darn good!

I believe it looked something like this..............

Now that picture makes you look sedate and proper. But I suspect you are just fooling us there, aren't you???

Has everyone been added to Jen's list on her site? It is so hard to keep track of folks on here. So far I haven't seen anyone with kids my dd's age but maybe that will change between now and next year.

W

[LAMPSKIES]

Mine 15 and 13...will be 16 and 14 at the time of sailing.......

[KatHuss]

My DD will be 10 when we sail. She is already excited about the cruise. I showed her pics of the new kids's area and she thought that was pretty cool. Since we will be on Deck 2 I expect she will be spending a lot of time there.

Sue

Sue, it will be so great to see you in Aug.! Do come in early Aug. Keith wants the big 1-0 birthday ("my first 2 digit birthday," he calls it) in WDW. Since he's an early September baby, and I'm taking him out of school 2 weeks early for the cruise in Dec., we'll have to have his big b-day at the Mouse House in late Aug. Does that make sense? Anyhow, I hope you're planning on early to mid-Aug in Seattle. I'd hate to keep missing you! Feb. is bad enough...

[DCLgodess]

so what do you all think of my dress? pretty huh? if you still need added to my list, please PM me.

[dobelover]

Morning All - Jen I still can't see the dress. I guess I will have to wait for the prom.



Sue

[KatHuss]

You'll definitely have to post prom pics as I can't see it either. :(

How is everyone this morning? We are due for more snow today, along with rain and freezing rain, my favorite. NOT!

DH thinks I am nuts. We were talking about the cruise last night and I mentioned that I have been on this board and that by the time we cruise we will have folks we can hang out with and he said I was off my rocker as the cruise is still just over a year out. I think this makes the waiting easier personally! But maybe that's just me.

Anyway, happy Wednesday everyone!!!

It was pretty cool to see people all over the ship and say hello. But it was kinda bad for two DIS couples that may have wanted to be unknowns. They were spotted late late at night in the hot tubs, but they forgot to wear their swimsuits! They were kinda embarrassd to have Lampy walk up on them! :rotfl2:

I wasn't embarrassed.....just tried to figure a way to get their towels.... :rotfl2:

:eek: On a DISNEY cruise???? LOL

I think I caused a commercial or maybe a news bit, to be re-shot...on our DCL Mexican Riviera cruise. We had watched them filming while onboard. One scene showed a young woman walking past the gift shops on her way to the theater.
Anyway, I had just gotten out of the shower and heard my son and hubby hollering about a helicopter that was just outside our balcony. (We were in the Roy). So I ran to the door and opened it up...just in time to see a guy in the helicopter with a camera aimed our way. About that time I realized that I hadn't grabbed a robe:earseek: !!!!
Well, heck, there's not USUALLY anyone out there!

I'm guessing they had to do a re-take. :rotfl:
