Could it be a hidden mickey? Or a Sun? or a flag?

You're half right Heather.

Noooooooo! Although, I'm worried about the same thing Karen. I've been holding my breath since we ran our year end reports (I'm getting dizzy too ) to see if our company is making a little cash. Enough to keep me around anyway.

You're in printing too arent you Nancy? - his industry has been hit hard.

I work for a printing broker. We don't actually print anything by us, we out-source everything, but yes, that industry has almost been replaced by the internet and photoshop types of software.

I had 86 of my own customers who usually order their tax forms from me. So far only 20 have called me for last year's forms. The rest have wised up and printed them off the interent. I've lost a lot of commission from those folks.

Neil installs and fixes huge printing presses... no-ones buying at the moment -they cost on average 3-5 million each so you can see why.

Like you say the internet is really cutting down on the need for printing.
Sorry to hear your customers are depleting so fast. Thats scary

 

[Ranzatan]

Wow, how many threads will we be at by cruise time?

Boxing Day - Dec 26th

We had a lazy morning today... I think the madness had caught us all up so we had a lie in. I had put ice on my toe and lots of arnica overnight. The swelling had gone down quite a bit. We had a big breakfast at the hotel - very nice too! - finishing with .... waffles! After that we shopped most of the day today. Millenium mall - I WAS TOO FULL AFTER BREKKIE FOR CHEESECAKE FACTORY, then headed to Premium mall and bought myself another 2 pairs of crocs from the outlet there

A lazy afternoon by the pool then we ate at the hotel Tappenyaki restaurant. Ellis and I had not had one before and we all enjoyed the performance and the food!

Since we are probably not going to be dragging our Pirate Night costumes along this year, I just bought this to iron onto a shirt instead. I have to lighten up that luggage this time.

Sat 27th

Today we went back to MGM.... Yes I know its changed its name but it'll always be MGM to me

These are my only photos of MGM as I still cant find my other camera card

Today was BUSY!
Crowds
I was scared to death incase anyone accidently trod on my toe - I was wearing my crocs flip flops as I still couldnt get my trainers or other shoes on.

Ellis and I headed straight to the new toy story ride and grabbed fast passes. Neil went off to do single rider line for rock n roller and was back in 15 minutes.

ANYWAY....Back to photos

After we got the fast passes we queued for photos with Buzz and Woody.

These are all in the queueing area

help! - I'm strapped to a rocket!... eyah Ellis - you look sooooooo scared ... just take the photo Mom and put the darned camera away

I'm Stinky Pete, I'm mint in the box!

[Karen Mouse]

Then we saw Bolt and co

I wanted to hug the hamster but the darned cat got in the way

Ellis really enjoyed it

More piccies of the outside of the Toy story ride

I think the theming is brilliant.
