10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #27

[captchris]

Looks like we will be closing the thread by this weekend. Will the next one be our last??? Hmmmmmmmmm

I hope not. I am hoping we can get two more in before the cruise.

 

[Ranzatan]

I feel ya! I did not spend all those HOURS designing the website, updating the Who's Going Page and making the BOBigator during the past TWO years so people can avoid one another and act like children! This is supposed to be fun!

I hope everyone can leave all the crap behind them and just enjoy the trip and running into "friends" during this cruise!

I originally didn't want to play tag because I was afraid that people were expecting me to out-do my scrapbooks from last time and with watching two toddlers, I just didn't have as much time to devote to my tag gifts. But then I realized that Kira would absolutely LOVE Distag this time around so I swallowed my pride, did the best I could with the tag gifts and signed up for her

So sorry to trouble you Cass

 

[Scouter]

Well Cass - for us newbies, you could just put a piece of chocolate in our FE and we wouldn't know the difference!! I'm sure whatever you have will be FANTASTIC!!!!

My gifts are VERY homemade, so they are also slightly imperfect

Hope everyone will still like them

I give you guys credit for even doing this, On the one cruise I did it i was so stressed over what to get every one!! I have no imagination. So I leave that up to all you creative and imaginative folks!!

 

[JOANNEL]

Cass,
I love your who's going and the Bob website, please don't stop. I do see a few new pictures. I am bad with names but the faces sure will help. I don't know where you find the time with two toddlers running around all day!!

 

[B9erSteve]

Easy there, big boy!

STEP AWAY FROM THE LIGHTS

Hilarious!

Can I just say that all this bickering is getting a bit outta hand. We are supposed to be adults and I thought 'friends'. This trip was supposed to be a gathering of friends both old and new for just 7 days. I'm as guilty as the next person for saying one or two wrong things and I have apologised.

I am so sad that people have withdrawn from activities that have been organised to make the trip more memorable, because of what is being said behind the scenes and for which most of us are not privy too, thank goodness!

I have loved talking to everyone on here over the last two years and I am going to be so excited come the 24th. I will not be taking 'sides' and if, because of this people do not want to talk to me, then so be it. Two years is a long time, and we were bound to run into a few niggles along the way, but come on people...this is supposed to be a vacation. Everyone has made so many sacrifices for this trip....please, please, please, can't we be friends for just 7 days?

I'm glad to here that Jeff, Suz and DS are still cruising with us. I will be there on the 24th with a hug for everyone that wants one. It wouldn't be KK2 without them.

I'm sorry if this upsets anyone and understand if anyone is upset at some of my words. But this has been upsetting me for a couple of days now, and I just had to get it off my chest.

Ditto. I cannot wait to see all my old friends and my new ones as well!

That's a great thought isn't it?? Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from now until the cruise I will be saying, "5 weeks from right now we will be......"

I love flying so that is a huge part of this vacation. I actually go on an airliners website and look at pictures of the airline and aircrafts we will be flying! There are aviation enthusiasts out there that sit at airports and take pictures of Boeing's, Airbi, Embraer's and Canadair's for a hobby. Who knows, now that I have a REAL camera, I just might have to start doing it!!

Just the opposite... I'm praying from takeoff to landing. It always give me the heebie jeebies.

My gifts are VERY homemade, so they are also slightly imperfect

Hope everyone will still like them

Funny how much we obsess over those!

 

[Timon]

Yeah, you owe me BIG Arleen!!!

Thanks Joanne Dora and Diego help

I will love and appreciate each and every FE gift I get! I can't wait!

I think just taking the time to participate, no matter what the gifts are, is a way of sharing yourself! Thank you to all of you who are getting ready for our FE gift exchange! I'm working on mine!

This will be my first vacation in 2 years and it is my last big vacation with our 2 boys before Dakota heads off to college. We have been looking forward to it for so long! I can't wait to be on our ship, on vacation, relaxing and having a great time!

Sorry to interrupt, is this Bronx, NY?!

Yes grew up in the bronx and moved up to Westchester!!!

Wow - I grew up in the Bronx as well, then moved to Queens - when I was in H.S., I used to still visit the Bronx often and loved it...now as a mom...not so much. My husband commutes to Harlem everyday (he'll be at this project for a few years) and from what he tells me, some properties are priced like upper East side $$$, but the neighborhood is still in the works.

FOever shy until we have a smoothie together...

Walt

Me too!!! I'm MEGA SHY!!! And I'm not much of a drinker...so...I cover my shyness with lots of random chatter.

I must say that DVR is a great thing! I don't know how I lived without it. Especially with young kids.

I LOVE Tivo - don't know what we'd do without it...that and my GPS.

I am thankful:
For the wife
who says it's hot dogs tonight,
because she is home with me,
and not out with someone else.

For the husband
who is on the sofa
being a couch potato,
because he is home with me
and not out at the bars.

For the teenager
who is complaining about doing dishes
because it means she is at home,
not on the streets.

For the taxes i pay
because it means
i am employed .

For the mess to clean after a party
because it means i have
been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug
because it means
i have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work
because it means
i am out in the sunshine

for a lawn that needs mowing,
windows that need cleaning,
and gutters that need fixing
because it means i have a home .

For all the complaining
i hear about the government
because it means
we have freedom of speech. .

For the parking spot
i find at the far end of the parking lot
because it means i am capable of walking
and i have been blessed with transportation .

For my huge heating bill
because it means
i am warm.

For the lady behind me in church
who sings off key because it means
i can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing
because it means
i have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles
at the end of the day
because it means i have been
capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off
in the early morning hours
because it means i am alive.

And finally, for too much e-mail
because it means i have
friends who are thinking of me.

That's beautiful!

I LOVE homemade gifts, I'm not that crafty so our FEs will probably be less desired...but it still makes for a fun time!


I have a terrible headache - yuck. DD is over at Grandma & Grandpa's so it's just DH and I for dinner...

I'm not sure what happened, as I'm new to B.O.B., but I do love the site you've created! Thank you!

Parents of children in the post Y2K age need to be indebted to Nickelodeon, Dora and Diego.

Go Diego, Go!

Come on Vamos, everybody let's go, come on let's get to it. I know that we can do it. Where are we going? Clap, Clap, Clap...

 

[JOANNEL]

This will be my first vacation in 2 years and it is my last big vacation with our 2 boys before Dakota heads off to college. We have been looking forward to it for so long! I can't wait to be on our ship, on vacation, relaxing and having a great time!

Enjoy them, cause they will be gone before you know it. We are taking our last family vacation in Dec, my youngest is going into the airforce in april when he graduates from college and his assignment is germany!!

Anyone know if the Magic is part of the Disney Channel Summer at Sea program? Sammi is watching a little promo on it and is going nuts. The promo featured the Wonder.

It's basically a cruise that has stars from Disney channel shows on a cruise for meet and greets, concerts, etc.

 

[cntkg1]

Well, I guess she went in to labor this morning. I think they left the house around 4:30-5:00 am. She said she was trying to wait until morning; I was a bit worried that she may not make it to the hospital--Bethesda, about an hour away! But it is 7:25 am now, and I haven't heard anything, so I guess she made it. I am glad for her. It's been a long wait for her and she just wants this baby to be born so she can get on with life. I'm sure she'll be bugging the docs to let her come home early.

Any word yet Sistah P?

Or humping

I loved reading Karen's posts when she did that Rose. I don't think I ever laughed so hard reading this thread.

We did all that in just a regular (not military) neighborhood when I was young. Just the sign of the times how things are different now.

We did too. We had to be home when the street lights turned on. You should've seen us all run too!!

 

[tinkerbellmom1]

Enjoy them, cause they will be gone before you know it. We are taking our last family vacation in Dec, my youngest is going into the airforce in april when he graduates from college and his assignment is germany!!

I know. I'm already mushy about it and he just started his senior year a few weeks ago! I'll have Austin at home for a few more years.

Congrats on your son's achievements- Both college and serving our country! You have a lot to be proud of! Can you go visit him on a DCL European cruise?

Dakota just completed the last piece of the application for his college of choice. We're hoping we'll know if he is accepted or not by the time we cruise. If not, we're working on plan B, C, D and E!

Well, I'm outta here for a few days kids. MG is going on a little vacation.

I'll be back on Monday evening unless I get internet access.

Nope, Just the Wonder. I think that the shorter cruises were easier to work into the busy schedules of the stars.

Have a wonderful weekend.

 

[disgrits]

I have a sign on my desk "I'm in my own little world and that's ok because everybody knows me here!!!"

Oh my goodness, I just saw that sign today. I almost bought it for my mom, but then I thought maybe she would like this other one better. It says, "Dear Lord, if you can't make me skinny, can you please make my friends fat?"

Any word yet Sistah P?

Baby boy, 8 pounds 11 ounces. They are naming him Oskar Thor Lofgren. I have never heard of the name Thor before; all of their boys have Nordic/Viking middle names. She said she was in quite a bit of pain until she got the epidural. Went to sleep, woke up a few hours later and was ready to push. One or two pushes and there he was! Mama and baby are doing fine. Babies are great, aren't they?
