10-14-2006 Cruisetoberfest IV

[TnRobin]

First of all, to all of my Cruisetoberfest friends...I SINCERELY apologize for bringing this issue over this way and I take full responsibility for that.

Thank you for ending this line of discussion.

I am not accusing anyone as I have not read the post previously mentioned, but I would also like to take this opportunity to ask that everyone please use the "report this post" anytime someone starts it with the personal attacks. I am not very tolerant of people bashing.

Now back to planning the Ultimate Party Cruise. I was on the original Cruisetoberfest and it was a total blast. Happy Cruising.

Thanks Eric, I will check the camera settings.

Ave' , Just sent you a PM.

Bye, Kim

NOOOOOO,
check your SCREEN settings, the big thing you're looking at when using your puter

Strange, I thought someone simply stole the bedroom's walls and roof

Kim download a trial version of adobe photoshop elements and the open your photos and enhance them using automatic levels, contrast and color correction. All photos that are digital could use a little post processing. Mike

I did not realize that they all needed a little tweaking. I can do that using my software.

Thanks, Kim

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everybody ... BOO -

Wearing my Halloween Scrub Top that I bought at WalMart ... It's a bright orange with Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and of course GOOFY!

Don't eat too much candy but have fun!

Mike - I LOVE your flower bed!!

 

[papa]

It wasn't my bed, it was in the yard where a guy was selling home grown tomatoes. Thought it was a neat idea and good recycling. Mike

Hi Folks,
here's a riddle from Holland: Dutch Riddle
The Dutch words say: Find the three errors in the right picture. It's really difficult. I needed more than two minutes to find them!!!

 

[bettemom]

OK you bum !!! I'm going to New York City Saturday and WAS going to e-mail you and see if you wanted anything that you did not pickup when you were here... Of course if Anja wants something I will still pick up for her...




Bye, Kim

P.S. can you send me or post the photo of Anja & Gulliver ?

 

[jeanneg]

Eric: I tried several times but cannot open up the Dutch Riddle. When are we going to get to see the NY photos?

Bette: have a wonderful time in my hometown. If you get an opportunity to go to the theatre, see "Jersey Boys".....it's the story of Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. I grew up with their music, but never knew their story so it was really fascinating. Plus the music is fabulous! Make sure you have a real NY bagel and some authentic Italian pastries!

Happy Halloween to everyone....I see all the little kiddies coming home from school so I expect the doorbell to start ringing in a little while. This will be our first Halloween in the new home and I hope I have enough candy! We used to get about 300 in our old neighborhood (because they bussed them in!), but I don't expect that many here. I only buy candy I won't eat myself so I won't be tempted! I hope Rocky Horror Picture Show will be playing on TV tonight....it's just not Halloween without it!

Jeanne & Kim,
I'll try my best to upload some pics next weekend. The last two weekends both of us had to work. I clocked 12 hours overtime last week alone, but now 'The Flood' seems to be over - Now it's my colleagues who are 'flooded' as I write the work orders for everyone
Fortunately the next two weekends are free. And the weekend 11-13 Nov we even have three days off

We're watching 'The Million Dolllar Babe' right now. That's a tough movie!!

 

[Viking]

Kim,
thanks for the offer, but we bought everything we wanted from NYC. BTW, a coworker of mine is very envious about my John Deere-Hat - He lives in the countryside, so he knows tractors.

 

[Tulirose]

Geez Louise!!! I jumped out of my skin!!!!!

 

[Viking]

Rosemary,
I posted this on the forum for our car. One of the ladies there opened it while wearing a headset - She nearly had a heart attack

 

[Laurarn]

OMG Eric! Too Funny! If I wasn't fully awake a minute ago, I am now!

 

[bettemom]

Well another Halloween is over, except for stocking up on the holloween sale "stuff" now discounted at the department stores. We out did ourselves this year. We had an all time record of 16, yes 16 kids for trick or treat. Gulliver let us know when ever anyone came close to the house and then he was the 1st one at the door greeting everone, if only he could have reached his head into their candy bags....

Work day is starting time to act busy...

Bye, Kim

 

[cdnmickeylover]

We did you one better Kim we had no kids. We usually have very few kids so this year we went out to dinner and then came home and kept the lights off. I can't eat the leftover chocolate candy and Jim shouldn't be eating it so we didn't buy it to be tempted. Besides which Jim ate all the candy from MNSSHP!

It's supposed to rain here most of the day but at least it's not snow yet!

Off to get ready for work.

We only had four kids coming to our door, but a) we live on the fourth floor (No elevator), and b) Halloween is not such a big hit over here.
The candy industry is still trying its best to establish that day over here, but it doesn't work out very well - It's simply not a part of our culture

 

[fridayfun]

We had 60. Sat at the neighbors and chatted, gave the kids a 3-for instead of stopping by all 3 houses. Then it started to rain!


Question for all the divers - I am paying for our diving class for Chris' Christmas gift. I am pretty sure there are a few integral pieces of equipment that we should have that we might not want to rent when diving. Before I possibly get suckered into buying more than I need, what do you guys recommend as key pieces to have for 2 adults who will probably only dive once (maybe twice) a year on our cruises and any good brands that will hold up well? Thanks for any help, Chris is chomping at the bit to get started. D
