I do know the answer to your question about Clay. Clay was one of the orginal 32 contestants. They they recalled people for the Wild Card round. Each judge got to pick a Wild Card person to advance and then the 4th Wild Card pick was the people choice which was Clay.

Last winter I was totally addicted to American Idol. I had to miss the final result show as we were flying to WDW that night. However, as soon as I got off the plane I checked my voice mail on the cell phone as my friend phoned me the results. I am really trying not to become so obsessed this year.

As for survivor, I am going to try to tape it as I have the hockey meeting tonight. Hope it works.

To keep up with the German conversation, I put it into the free translation that I use at work to get it converted into English. It's not perfect, but get the jest of what is being talked about. I usually use it to translate instructions from English into Spanish to give to my patients.

Back to work.

Auf weidersehen,
Laura

Relling Twin- I know several doctors and nurses who worked L&D there who work up here now. (Charleston, SC right?) Small world!
Regards,
Laura

Laura,
das war sehr gut - Really!!!
I'm very proud of you. I've got some friends over here from the US and Australia who have been here much, much longer than you and don't know enough German to order a beer or ask for directions Especially here in Frankfurt you find so many people able to speak English that sticking to your native tongue is much more comfortable than learning German - But I admit that German is very hard to learn, especially the grammatics.
If you want I can bring you some DVDs in German. I'll burn them so that they will run on an American DVD-player set to region 1 - As a gift of course!! But let's not talk too publicly about it I'll mail you a list of available movies or you tell me your preferences.
Looking movies is a really good way to boost your language skills.

 

[Viking]

Jeanneg,

I mailed you my snail-mail for the pic.

Talking German on the ship could be fun: You, Laura and we could talk German :happy1: , point with our fingers, and start to giggle
Could make the others nervous - or get us thrown overboard There's one lady from Pennsylvania who is especially keen on getting Germans dunked - YES, I'm talking about you, CATHY!!!

 

[@GoofyNut]

Eric ... let's get the story straight for those that don't know it.

There is this German Couple that ran aground in the sand in Serenity Bay ... This "nice lady" from PA goes to their aid. First she frees the petite German fraulein and sets her back to floating the bay and then she frees the German Lad but (hehe) somehow
in doing so he gets Dunked!

Back to work .....................

PS Such a tragedy about the character that died while waiting to be in the parade at WDW.

 

[Laurarn]

You guys are so funny! I was surprised myself that I remembered that much German. But I do remember the days when my landlady and I were practically playing charades to get our point across to each other. It was fun!
Padisneyfan-Who plays hockey in your family? My son plays roller hockey and he's a huge Flyers fan! (I grew up in Philly). It's hard to find an ice rink around here in NC.

 

[piglet33]

NJ Devils hockey fans here.

 

[padisneyfan]

Both my sons played ice hockey. However, both are now in college only DS#2 continues to play. Hockey has been a main focus in our lives for 15 years. Both my husband and I are still involved. He coaches one of the HS teams and I am the 4th VP of the HS league. However, we are slowly weaning our way out. DH is in his last year of coaching. I have one more year to serve in my term, but am seriously considering resigning in May. I have taken on being the Chairperson for my professional organization(WOCN) regional conference that will be in the fall of 2005. I just don't think I want to be committed to 2 things. As for ice rinks in NC, they are spread out. However, we have been to tournaments in the Raleigh and Winston-Salem area. Most of the travel teams in NC have to travel very far to play ice hockey games. My sons never got into playing roller hockey that much. Both have roller blades and do pick up games.

It is tragic what happened to the WDW castmember. Guess it was a freak accident.

Work day finished so I'm heading on home. Have to make a couple of stops. Need to get a tape for the VCR.

Nancy

 

[padisneyfan]

Oh no a Devils fan. Acutally no one in our family is Flyers fan even though we are only 2 hours away. DH and DS#1 area Pittsburgh Penquins fan even though they have been terrible the last couple of years. DS#2 is a Colorado Avalanche fan. Myself, I don't pay attention to any professional sports. When I go to a game I spend more time watching the people than the game.

Now I'm out of here.

What's that about a dead character

And what do Y'all think about that hostile takeover of Disney?
IMHO Disney buys other companies, but doesn't get bought itself

OK, gotta sleep now,
I started a pi***** contest with our instructor in tonight's Pump-class. He's 10 years younger than me, but I won - this time. But right now I don't feel like the winner and a assume that it will be worse tomorrow - Ouch. Testosterone can be such a burden - LOL

The update has to wait til Saturday - Sorry for the delay, but I have to go to the Marriot Hotel in Frankfurt tomorrow where the Captains Meeting of this years JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge will take place. My company has been participating in this race since its beginning in Germany. It's a 3.5-mile run across downtown Frankfurt in June with about 40,000-50,000 people competing. Anja and I will run for my company and I intend to break the 26-minute-mark this time. Tomorrow all the Captains get the necessary papers for their teams and afterwards there is a free buffet - YumYum

I told you already: my speaking is terrible....the only thing I can pronounce well are the curse words which will really get us thrown overboard!

 

[RellingTwin]

Laura, there are many docs and nurses who work at MUSC who then move away. I think it is because of the medical and nursing schools at MUSC. Many come to Charleston for school, then fall in love with Charleston and have to stay awhile!
Ask the former MUSC folks if they know Dr Soper, Dr Carter, or Dr Fylstra. I think they are the OB/Gyns who have been there the longest.

Got to finish packing AND watch Suvivor!

 

[DisneyCruiseCrazy89]

We just made our reservations! We are officially awaiting our documents (not literally) for the 10/02/2004 Cruise! We are very excited as this is our first 7-night cruise!!!

 

[padisneyfan]

WELCOME DisneyCruiseCrazy89

Ok, I missed Survivor and Apprentice since the VCR set up didn't work right. So who was booted off?

Now off to bed.

Nancy

 

[Laurarn]

Relling Twin: A close friend of mine, Angel S., used to be at MUSC in L&D. She loved Charleston and hopes to get back there someday. I also know Drs. Warren and Miller came from there.

Disneycruisecrazy89-Welcome, We just joined this wonderful group also. Oct 2nd will be our 1st 7 day cruise also.

Piglet33 and Padisneyfan-My son's friend is a NJ Devils fan. It's fun to watch. All of his friends are fans of different teams (Redwings, Hurricanes, etc)and wear the team jerseys while they play hockey outside. For my son's birthday last week, I took all 7 of them to see the movie "Miracle". That was a great movie!

Jeanneg-Between the two of us, we could probably put enough German words together to sound pretty good.

Goodness its cold here today. We had an inch of slushy mesh this morning. This has been a long winter. How much longer til October????-(Guess I'd better get a countdown clock).

[Viking]

Talking about German/English jokes, I just thought this one up and have to test it on you, my friends:

What do we Germans do with spoiled kids?

We ground them and make brat-wurst!!

 

[ARLO1]

heres the survivor/apprentice info. whoever doesnt want to know the outcome dont read......

on survivor- jenna(the winner from 2 seasons ago) left because she had a feeling that her mom was very sick and needed her so she asked to leave the game. at the end of the show they showed that her mom died 8 days later. this happened when all the tribes went to the immunity challenge. jenna made the request/annnouncement there and then jeff asked various tribe members what they thought. some said they immediately understood while others said the understood but maybe jenna should not have even come to play the game.

on apprentice - jeannie was fired. i didnt see the full show(i have it on tape). amaroso went to the board room with heidi and jeannie and she was so mean to them. it looked like trump was going to fire her for being so rude but then turned around to jeannie and said that since she just took the abuse and was still being nice and defending amaroso that he was firing her. i guess jeannies theories backfired twice - last week getting kristie(?) fired and this week getting herself fired...

gotta go and finally do some work...
