Hey other Heather!

 

[Tart Annihilator]

We re-booked onboard last October. My wife is a school teacher, and she gets a fall break at the end of October.

We did a four day last October. Did you do the Magic?

 

[Tart Annihilator]

gots some new signs.

What do you mean, you got some new signs? I didn't know that. :
I can't believe I had to see them on the boards.

 

[thegrays]

We did a four day last October. Did you do the Magic?

This will be our sixth cruise, and all of them have been 7 nighters on the Magic.

 

[Tart Annihilator]

This will be our sixth cruise, and all of them have been 7 nighters on the Magic.

This will be our 6th too. We usually take the 7 day, but last October we decided we needed to get away, booked a last minute 4 day and spent the rest of the week at Disney World.

 

[thegrays]

Ok. Me again with another problem again. Why is it cutting off our sail dates? It looks great on the preview, but then it gets messed up.

 

[thegrays]

...and I can't figure out how to post a picture. I think I'm going to bed for the nite & try again tomorrow!

 

[goofyfreak]

prayers please:

Maddie is being admitted to the NICU. She keeps holding her breath and they can't seem to regulate her body temp, which is running low right now.

for the entire family. I hope she is doing better.

 

[goofyfreak]

Your signature is too high, you only get a set amount of space in your siggie, and if you go over that space, your stuff gets cuts off automagically

Well, the Christmas decorating season has officially started for me. I snagged a BUNCH of Christmas lights from Big Lots the other day. (very happy, smiling all the way home) And today spent a bunch of time at Home Depot (newly childless as I now have both kids in school. Boy, is that a nice experience) and bought the supplies that I need to build some of my displays. But, the threshold has been crossed today into the official season. I finished my first Christmas Prop.

I've got some great Disney Topiaries that I painstakingly decorated but was never happy with. Besides, in just a few years the lights had faded so badly that they really didn't look good anymore. So I stripped all the old lights from Mickey today...

As you can see he's not really looking very good right now. One of his ears broke off and I needed to repair it. A bit of wire and JB Weld and it was good as new. I then had to relight it with LED's. I picked LED's because they won't fade and should last a number of years before I need to re-string him.

 

[B9erSteve]

So it took me about 3-4 hours and 180 green LED's and he is done. (much quicker that he took me before, but then he was 300 lights and I swapped out individual bulbs to make him colored differently.) Here's what Mickey looked like the first year that I had him:

You can see, I had him multicolored. But I could only get ahold of white zipties, this time I used black. Notice how young the kids look! It was 2006.

Here's what he looked like as night lit up:

You can see the other thing that I never liked about Mickey and Minnie. You can't "light up" black. And a lot of him was black. So I compromised and used a deep purple for the black areas. It NEVER looked right.

 

[B9erSteve]

So, here's the final product of my labor today:

that was with the flash and you can't see just how brilliant that he is. I really like the single color look! And you cant see the zip ties at all!

 

[B9erSteve]

This Picture is without flash. It looks MUCH better. I can't wait to finish all of his friends now!

Morning All. Yes it Friday I have a day off work today and I'm up at stupid o'clock.

We re-booked onboard last October. My wife is a school teacher, and she gets a fall break at the end of October.

Last October..what's kept you away so long?

 

[GOS]

Happy 40th to Tanya!!!

From us too.

Oh please....not Christmas all ready

Great job though Steve. I like the single colour. Did you not think of using blue?

 

[Karen Mouse]

I'm kinda new here, but who is Bob? Is he the moderator or something? Maybe the CD for this trip! This is kinda like a Where's Waldo almost.... Now, I have to try and figure out how to make shirts.

Hope everybody knows I'm kidding about Bob - I'm sure he's a real nice person.

T shirts - gotta make t shirts

did make some good extra $$$ for the cruise though.

Neils the same at the moment - he's doing a mod to a press, thers only him that can do it - he's getting in 12 hours a day, others are at home on standby... good money, but Ellis sure does miss him.

prayers please:

Maddie is being admitted to the NICU. She keeps holding her breath and they can't seem to regulate her body temp, which is running low right now.

now what video could robin be showing those girls?

I really liked those servers - I'd love them this time round

a repeat video for karen to enjoy.

Makes me laugh everytime I see it

My crew is all wearing BoB shirts on the first day - they will be white with the BoB logo on the back and something birthday related on the front (still in the design phase....)

Perfect

Sounds like somebody is going to have two reasons to party at sailaway!

(Talking about Becca's b'day, since I can't figure out how to pull one quote out of the middle of a page yet.)

Leave the bvrackets at he start and end, but delete any text inbetween that you dont want

all i'm saying is karen better keep those curtains closed.

If any maintenance guy looks into our room he'd be so shocked he'd probably fall over board and never be able to tell the tale
