PS....Funny story about Mr Beckham,a friend of mine saw him one night in a club about 15 years ago along with some other united players at this time Beckham was only a kid who was yet to play for the first team.My mate ends up asking him for his Autograph and the only thing he had was a £20 note which Beckham duly signed saying "Wow nobody ever asks me".....5 years later Beckham is a world superstar and his early Autograph is worth £300/500 my mate is living in his FIL house and comes home only to have a £20 note thrust into his hand by his FIL..."I borrowed that £20 note you use as a book mark coz the wife was at work and i didn't have any fags".......Most expensive fags ever bought?..

Oh no

One other interesting tidbit - the person identified as the original Mary Poppins... is she supposed to be the Mary Poppins that sang on board? That Mary Poppins I had my picture taken with - she had long hair. This girl does not. What's up with that?

She was wearing a wig in this picture - look close.

We are good thanks,
Keep on your IT people, tell them the kids say HI.

No, haven't seen Jeff since before the holidays, and we don't have Mario Kart yet, but will have to get it to play some other BOBers that have it. How about you?

 

[cntkg1]

It is about time you come out and play with us. Why dont you also tell everyone that you were also on KK1, but did not talk to anyone from the group. We all know that you are not shy.

Lisa, can we see a picture of you now? Maybe some of us recognize you too.

Hi Lisa and fellow Wisconsinite Welcome to the B.O.B. cruise. Tell your cousin we miss him around here. How is his mom??

Sorry all. I thought that I have posted since this, but apparently not. Thank you Nancy for reminding me. Lol. As an update on my mom, she did get out of the hospitol after being in there for about five days. She did not have a stroke. She had a mild heart attack. My mom was was diagnosed with a bad pulmonary heart valve about six years ago, and so they think that might have been part of the problem. However, she is home now, and just has to keep going in for tests. She is currently doing about two to three a week. Thank you to this group for the huge prayer support.

You're welcome and glad to hear that your mom is doing better.

Well lets just see when Goofy$Ever is on the boards next. I bet it will be at least a week or two. And she talks about me? Haha. I was neglecting my duty to keep up. I had about onehundred and ninety pages to catch up on. That was my new years resolution. To post more on the DIS. So after many hours this weekend, I am now all caight up on my reading. I think I have a few more replies to do. I could have multiquoted, but I need to get some more posts. I am hoping to get more than fifteen posts this round. Lol.

Hope to see you around more often Chris.

I'll look at any picture of Mr Beckham. Whatever ya got afeg...I'll look. And I sure hope the FIL using that bill to roll a cigarette was a joke!

Could have ended horribly.....the kid had a blown up pink lilo walking along the train platform.....


German kids train it to marry in Africa

Three German children aged five, six and seven who said they were fed up with cold weather at home set off on a voyage to Africa but only got as far as the local train station, police said.


The boy and the older girl were planning to get married in Africa and brought the girl's five-year-old sister along as a witness. They left their home in the city of Hanover, which they shared with the boy's father and the girls' mother, early on New Year's Day as their parents slept.

"The children wanted to do something really special for the New Year," said police spokesman Holger Jarczyk. "They had it all planned out. They had three suitcases, filled with food, swimming costumes, a lilo and even sunglasses."

He said they took a tram to the central station and were about to board a train to the airport when police stopped them.

"They said they wanted to go to Africa 'because it's so nice and warm there'," Jarczyk said. The boy had once been to Italy and convinced the girl that Africa would be even warmer, he said.

The police told the trio that it would be difficult to get to Africa without money or tickets and instead gave them a tour of the police station before handing them over to their parents.

Just goes to show, us Germans are headstrong aren't we? Cute story though. I ran away once when I was 5....I made it to the front porch.

So perhaps we're the only ones not planning on staying through the weekend after the cruise?

We are planning on coming in on Wednesday the 21st. We are totally out of DVC points and need to pay cash. I called yesterday and there are no 1BRs on cash discount at BCV, BWV, AKV, or VWL. That's where we'd prefer to stay. SO, I got a Value Studio at AKV on cash discount. There were 1BRs available for full cost at over $500/night but there is no way we can pay that price.

Anyone ever stay in a junior suite at the Swan or Dolphin? They are my next call today. I'm wondering if they have any teacher discounts available on those rooms.

So our plan is to hit three parks and perhaps the MNSSHP. We weren't crazy about the party this past September but had a nice time anyway. HOpefully it'll be offered on those nights we're there.

Anyone staying at WDW prior to the cruise?

We're planning on heading down on Thursday Mel. IF we do mnsshp that night we'll probably stay at CBR since that's our favorite, but just for Thursday night. It all depends on when our flight comes in. I'd hate to buy tickets for mnsshp and then our flight arrives too late to enjoy it and a WDW resort. I'm waiting for an answer from my WDW Knowitall hug: ) to let me know. The airline we're planning on taking down is notorious for changing flight times at the last minute. We'll be at the Radisson on Friday night.

No i like the tennis,me and Ryan play doubles while Rosie loves playing Boxing (she has issues i swear )....she can go round after round especially if her opponent looks anything like Ryan....

 

[njprincess]

allergic eh???
if you start picking on that sweet girl , then i may have to chase you around the ship with a strawberry smoothie.

Just as long as Karen is around to revive me with the Epi-pen.

I don't think so - we saw her in the hall late one night on our way back into the club. She stopped to do the picture. Turned out we both went back in the club - she was sitting behind us. She was in a sundress but dressed down - I don't think she had a wig on. She had the front pulled back with a ribbon or head band but it pulled the hair near her face pretty tightly - I would think we'd have been able to tell if it were a wig. Weird - but again interesting. Our rotation was PC, T,T,AP - right? We are trying to figure out of that is really Mack.

OK, I should have known that I had to be exactly, precisely, very specific before I made this comment.

We were all in the same dinner rotation. This picture was taken in Parrot Cay, on the 1st night, because after that night, they moved us closer together. The other DISBoard table was through the hole, so Joanne is correct in saying that Mimi & Mack & Co. were back there somewhere, I just don't know if I can see them.

The Disney Broadway Babies had the table next to us in every restaurant except Animator's Palate (I think that's the night they performed). On the 1st night, they were dressed up a bit. I don't know if Ashley Brown's hair is really long or short, but it was short that night (we didn't recognize her at first). Being a NY local, I can tell you that it is VERY common for Broadway actresses to wear wigs just about any time, whether they are working or not. They are also very good at blending in to crowds when they don't want to be seen, hence Nancy's comment about them looking very grungy when they were leaving the ship.

Hope that clears it up!

It's the brotherly/sisterly love. We feel it in our house often.

Called Swan/Dolphin -- NO teacher discounts to be had for those dates!!!

Good morning everyone. We are getting ready to put the kids on the bus then head to work for a brief time before hitting the gym! Finally!

After watching the Mark Teixeria introduction on TV this afternoon, we will be heading to Massachusetts for our annual retreat. I will take my computer and DIS from the hotel in the evenings.

Did you forget Di is from Mass and a very good driver

Walt

Hey I am a Mass driver transplanted to Texas. I will be driving there in a couple weeks. I am going to visit my family for 10 days. Can't wait. Alittle nervous how cold it is there. My old body does not like to get cold. It never warms up. Di

There are exceptions!!!!
