10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #15

[Karen Mouse]

How do you see these numbers?

I would love to tell you, but then I'd have to shoot you ... only kidding I know someone else has already answered

Go Karen, Go karen. Go Karen......

I'm too lazy - I multiquote

Next time we will have to move together. I have had a black cloud hanging over my head this week and it is only Tuesday. Everything is falling apart at the same time. I was told very nicely that my suggestions for the wedding are not welcome and I will be on a need to know basis. You were right that boys turn on you and have no backbone when girls are involved. I had co signed a car loan for my neice a couple of years ago and found out that she is dumping it on me to get rid of which means I am going to have to pay the payments until I sell it. Tommy of course did his I told you so dance. I was happy to be at work today so that no one can bother me. I would love to run away from home but I am to tired and stressed to plan an escape.

Sounds like someone needs a big

Oh, I can answer this one!!! (since I had to ask many months ago)

When you look at the list of threads in the forum, to the left of the thread name there is a colum for the number of posts. Click on the number, and you get a list of who has posted on the thread and how many times they have posted!

Thanks Jen

omg there are 40 of us. I can't remember what I did yesterday how am I going to rememebr all these names. I need to stare at pictures for a long time before next October.

Dont worry - if in doubt just call everyone Bob

Not sure exactly how many but I do know it was a lot!! Perhaps we can make a list for you!


Ok BOBers...if you are interested in the Group Palo Brunch on Monday...

Please PM or email me the names of your entire party who will be attending.

Keep in mind that there is a $20 fee per person for the Brunch and that it is adults only (18 and over) at Palo.

Let's get a list up on the BOB site

Us please - Karen and Neil

 

[JLDSMD]

Very well said. I don't care what we call our selves as long as we are all on the same boat/ship with a frozen drink in my hand..........Bob, Frank, Jim,

Oh I guess we can't be frank we are still hoping he comes along

We use to have many different names for the cruise. I can't remember them all, but every few days on the first thread, before we were limited to 250 pages, I use to change the name to something new - always funny.

Maybe some of the people who remember them can post what they were.

 

[Scouter]

Trying to ditch me again you guys?



Ha, ha, found you

 

[Karen Mouse]

Who would like to see some photos from the weekend?

Heather - they're brilliant as usual. I have no talent when it comes to flower arranging

As we have a few newbies, some background before the photos. I love flower arranging and my FA club organise 2 shows a year. Last Saturday was our Christmas show, which was called Christmas Fantasy. Mum is also a member and although she was at home looking after Dad (yes, he's home but I'm keeping this at a low profile so not to jinx anything!), she still managed to enter three classes and I took the arrangements in for her.

Glad he's home Heather

I know we are still far away from the dates-- but I did all the linked dining on our last cruise and really just lucked into the private room for brunch.

So if you want and no one else has volunteered I would love to help.

Joanne,

Word of caution on linking early, only one of you will be able to book excursions at a time when they become available. This was a nightmare on the Repo for us. Heather, Becky and I were all trying to book at the same time. Only after did we know why we had problems.

Karen and I are linked for next October, but she won't be up that early and usually we go on the same excursions, so I should be able to book for her.

That is one way around it, have one person book for all.

 

[Karen Mouse]

What happen to you Karen? You didn't catch up.

My names Karen.... and I'm a multi quoter

I figured out what the jacket is but I've never heard of stilton - & I have English blood in my veins!

Sorry! - Stilton is a strong blue moldy cheese - totally delicious

Oh Karen! I'm so sorry! If it helps, we were talking about our British friends last night, saying that you all would be posting on the new thread. I went to bed, not knowing that they were going to keep blabbing until they finished #14. In fact, they had to drag AFEG off of kicking & screaming!

I promise, next time I will be your moving buddy!

I started posting on the old thread this morning before I even realized the new one was up and running

 

[JLDSMD]

Too cool I didn't know that. Thanks for the info,

That info can be dangerous. You'll find yourself checking it and trying to up your post counts. It's mad I tell you.

 

[JLDSMD]

HeySpeaking of post counts....I could beat Numbers Boy!!!

Where do you stand now?

 

[JLDSMD]

Sounds great Joanne! Not even sure if they would let us make a big group booking in the restaurant part? If not, then I guess we can just pick a day and time and try to get ressies for it

Hahah, I can see it now...40 of us show up at the same time....Ahem, table for 40 pleeeeease

I think it was in the mid-30's for sure, but some people have cancelled out of the cruise, so I'm not sure where we'd be at.

Jeff's my travel guide/tour operator . I just go where he tells me at whatever time he tells me

He was even willing to sit in our nut free zone so we werent "Billy no mates" at dinner. (Do you have that term over there or should I explain? )

I can honestly say his lovely family and the KK'ers made our holiday last year. Being a new cruiser we would have missed out on so much if it hadnt been for the KK'ers knowledge.

 

[Karen Mouse]

G night folks

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[JLDSMD]

Maybe only 39. Nancy G said something about not liking that there 'fancy food'!

No, she said she's going but Chuck isn't. However, Lori isn't going but her DH Scott is.

It was decided that Scott would be Nancy's date.

 

[JLDSMD]

That's it from me tonight. I hope you enjoy the photos.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Night Heather. Great pics.

I think he'd still be there if it didn't close. Andy and I did that once. I think we ran 4 or 5 pages before they shut it down.

 

[JLDSMD]

consider it a gift!

And it's not even Christmas or my birthday. Thanks.

 

[JLDSMD]

It's warmed up a little, gonna take Kira to the park

Don't forget the camera.

(we'll be expecting pictures)

 

[JLDSMD]

OK, maybe I'll try for an FO today.

 

[JLDSMD]

Dont worry - if in doubt just call everyone Bob

And if you can't understand Karen, just nod your head.

 

[JLDSMD]

Ha, ha, found you

What, the three links I provided was enough?

Joanne,

The key here is that you can't make them at the same time. We were linked to other people on our last cruise and I had no problem at all making spa reservations & shore tours. However, when linked people were trying to book Palo 90 days out at midnight, they did have problems. So the trick is to not get on at the same time or, as you said, have one person make the 'difficult' reservations.
