I am also having trouble with the t-shirt design. It's all blurry when I print it out
for the 8x10 size. Came out better as
5x7 when I made the magnets. I can't
figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Can you please send it again? Also are we doing the front and back designs or just the front?

Thanks,

Reneé

Sue,
I got a barbed wire around my right upper arm and Anja has a sun in four different colours around her bellybutton, no Disney.

Yup,
we're waiting for the Olympics, too. Our gym will show them in the Cardio-Theatre. There are about 80 treadmills, bikes, steppers and rowing machines facing a total of 16 screens. We will do our cardio workout watching the games. I guess we'll cut back on the weights for those two weeks and do more cardio to be able to see more of the Games. Fortunately they take place in our timezone this year, the 2000 Olympics in Down Under were responsible for a big sleep deficit

In five weeks this time of day we should already be somewhere between Iceland and Newfoundland

Hey, anyone else excited about the Olympics starting soon.

POLL:
Anybody have any tattoos? Are any of them Disney?
I have two:
1. Left inner ankle, Scorcer Mickey
2. Lower back, tribal Mickey design.

I am planning to get Jiminy Cricket one of these days....already have 4, all small though...virgo symbol on my ankle, along with a cover up of a bad tattoo gotten in my younger days! On my back are the Japanese symbols of good luck and joy. I think I want to put Jiminy on my hip, but I would hate to see him stretch if we ever have kids! I don't think he'd look so cute, then!

Tim is waayyyyy too conservative to ever get a tattoo (opposites attract!), but I bet if he did ever get a Disney tattoo, it would be Donald Duck.



Sorry to add to the list, but I never got the T-shirt design! Any help to a link would be great!

Exciting news: My Gramps will move to a new appartment while we're in the US or shortly after our return - At age 91!!! And he isn't moving into assisted living, but to a brandnew appartment in a so-called 'barrier-free environment'. This means that there aren't any stairs in the house - except for emergencies. For everyday use it's all lifts and ramps. Extra wide doors and everything else to accomodate walking aids, etc.
Hard to believe, but he moved to his appartment in 1939 He always used to say 'You don't move an old tree as his roots are too deeply anchored in the ground!', but living on the third floor without an elevator eventually made him see the light His new place is about 3 miles as the crow flies from our place.

Mary -- Yes, our calico is a female. Don't know why it is that all calico cats are female. Some day I will have to look that up.

 

[BigRed1]

Well, if the artwork has been sent out, we didn't get it yet either.

Has anyone thought about putting the logo on the front of a white or khaki ball cap and maybe disname embroidered on the back?? I am going to try it if I can resize the logo.

Check out the timer!!

How exciting for Grandpa!!
What struck me in your post is, third floor w/o an elevator, and it took him until age 91 to decide it was not a good idea???? I can't stand walking from my basement to my bedroom (also 3 floors)!!! At 40, I guess I should stop complaining.

Hi guys!

 

[jeanneg]

OK, just wanted to make sure my post would go through. Just did my 3 miles around deck 4.....now I can eat whatever I want guilt-free. Lots iof special things going on since we are the first of the new itineraries. Free drinks during the embarkation lunch and the castaway gift is something new (do you want to know or be surprised?) We got APL rotation because we asked to be linked with our DIS friends. This the first time we have not had PAL and I can't get over how NOISEY the dining room was! It's good to be with friends again though. Yesterday we were all kinda wiped so we didn't do anything much after dinner......today I'm ready to party! Yes, they have seltzer at the drink station....any other things you'd like me to find out?
Gotta go....I have better things to do!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I'm with you, Bettemom, about skydiving.....I was fully intending to do it for my 50th, but we had the opportunity to see Celine Dion instead and I chose that one! Still want to do it though.....I've got parasailing this week at CC!

Jeanneg:

How wonderful, you are on the Magic! I hate suspense, gotta know what the new CC gift is. Also, have seen some posts about new menus and Pirates of the Caribean deck party instead of Tropical, can you give us the first hand scoop.

Eric
I was 40 when I got my tattos. I went with a group of my Disney friends (all 40+ women) and we all got some sort of Mickey tattos. No two are the same. It's amazing at how socially acceptable tattoos are now days, plus the artwork and coloring is so elaborate.

Sue

 

[twhipple]

jeanneg, tell us more!!! Please!!!

Would like to hear if the menu for AP has changed. If it has, also if PC has changed too. We're planning to do Palos on AP night, but if the menu is a lot better, we will switch it to PC night. Hope you're having a great...oh, I mean MAGICAL time!

 

[jeanniec]

Wow! How cool to be emailing us from the Magic and answering our questions. Did you ever sign up for the "private" St. Thomas tour? Have a great time, as I know you will!

 

[Auntmeme]

Just back from week at Rehoboth Beach, not all great weather but still got in some beach time. Trying to catch up on the conversation.

We did not get the shirt design email. Can someone please resend?

Who has the mickey pedicure? what is this? I want one too

Did everyone do their excursion ressies? We have not received our packet yet, guess I'll have to call.

We have 1 cat, black & white named Mickey. Adopted him after we returned from wdw 13 years ago. And 1 dog, mix named Jamie 10 years old.

Tatoos - I have one. Birthday present to self when turned 30, purple roses on a vine.

What's the news on the menu changes? will the changes be made for our cruise?

 

[ciadriamom]

Jeanneg: Thanks soo much for checking on the seltzer for me!! I'm glad you're having a great trip. How was security at the port? I heard about the "bomb" scare earlier that week?

No t-shirt logo here either??

No tattoo either.

Viking: that is soo cool about your gramps. Tell him we wish himthe best!

Marianne,
I guess that we Europeans are more fond of walking/climbing stairs than Americans. I'm always shocked when we're driving through American towns with almost no sidwalks.
We also live on the fourth floor w/o elevator and don't have a problem with it. I.e. we Germans use deposited beverage containers to create a smaller impact on the environment, a typical box contains 10 bottle of 1.5 liters each resulting in a weight of about 35lbs. So when we come home from our local supermarket I usually have three of these boxes and a 20 to 30lbs shopping bag and carry them all at once up to our appartment - I'm just too lazy to go twice
Anja for example rides the train to work and has to walk 1/2 a mile from the station to the hospital. She could also take the bus, but usually she'd have to wait 5 minutes for it and so she prefers to walk.
Or take my in-box at the office: I have about 40 people delivering their stuff to me for further analysis who are located at the other end of my floor, about 100 yards away. So I placed my in-box in their area and have to go over there at least 5 times a day to check for mail. I also often have business with them and prefer to do it personally instead of calling. I hate sitting at my desk for more than 30 minutes in a row.

 

[Laurarn]

dsncruiselover: I have received your pm's of what you need from me. I totally understand the info that you need and I have provided that info in my pm to you. I guess I'm confused why you keep asking for the information that I already sent. Wondering, if possible, you weren't receiving my pm's? Was I supposed to send it somewhere else? I noticed on the most recent pm, you requested email addresses also. The kids don't have those. So, whatever I sent you is all I can offer. Hope this helps to clarify things alittle. Let me know if I was suppose to send it a different way. Thanks!
Laura
