That Rocks!

I'm so tempted to get just the Mickey part of that picture transferred over to a t-shirt for October. That would be too cool and funny.

 

[JLDSMD]

flippin' hilarious! Actually I must to to the master. Jeff figured out the exact 100,000th posting AND managed to snag it. That is an achievement that has me blown away!

Thanks Steve. Actually, unless you were counting from the beginning, you couldn't even get the correct number of posts now. They chopped off Thread 1 at 200 pages, or 3,000 posts. That thread ran over 9,000. Unless they put it somewhere else, but my "subscribed" thread is only for that part.

I was suprised how close that cost was too. $140 for the 4 of us to take a bus vs. $130 for the towncar and personalized service. I just shot off an email to have out towncar upgraded to limo. (only $40 more than the towncar and $30 more than the DCL transfer) Not because of the luxury aspect, but more over the fact that I was worrying over if all of our luggage was going to fit in the towncar. (I thought about using just the Van for $150 but geez, just an Andrew Jackson more and I've got a limo.

Excellent choice on the upgrade. We had a town car just to WDW and I know that our cruise stuff would NOT fit in the trunk of that car. Plus, you will have no room in the car for bags (1 person up front and 3 in the back seat).

You'll be happy with your choice and you don't have to worry about getting in line for the buses. Plus, you can go at YOUR time, not anyone elses.

I liked the Captain AmeriMickey from the other one.

Male Nurses and Female Doctors. I'm forever being called Dr. and often my female physician co-workers are refered to as the "nurse." Makes us laugh everytime.

Just tell the Dr's that everytime that happens, they need to swap pay with you for that visit/procedure.

 

[danandnan]

Yep, still intact! I just checked after reading your post. My parents are really busy the next 6 weeks or so as well. In fact my dad likes the thought of that as he says the cruise will be here before they know it.

This will be their 5th cruise. They have done NCL twice and DCL twice. The last time they did NCL was after their first DCL cruise. My dad got a decent price and thought he would enjoy it anyway. They did enjoy it, but not nearly as much as DCL and they had a REAL tiny cabin! When they were in Cozumel on that cruise, what ship should pull in alongside, but the Magic! They were feeling some serious separation anxiety and booked their next DCL cruise (the one we took with them) a few months later.

Well pretty soon we'll meet them anyway. We plan to put our car at the jetport fire station. Trouble is the back lot gets locked at night & our flight doesn't get in til almost midnight! So one of the boys will have to get it out early & put it in the garage for us to find. It was all so easy before JB changed our flight!

My sister just sent me a ringtone of the Magic's Horn. Pretty neat. I am wondering what alert to set it to...

I may set it as a text alert, but will have to keep the volume down. i always get texts from twitter, friends and family.

I was going to respond to these & tell you what Dan has but I see he beat me to it.

Waiting for the bus...

And now, getting on the bus...

Nice looking students! What grades?


Diane - Did your mom tell you about the plane that landed in the middle of 495 in Mansfield yesterday? Saw it on our local news.

Remember, my power can only be used for good, never evil.

Wouldn't be moving us up in the line be for the good? I wouldn't have a problem with it, as long as we didn't pass any BOB'ers along the way (if we did, we'd bring them along too!)

 

[JLDSMD]

Well kids, I'm going to get some work done before getting out of here.

THAT doesn't sound like any fun.

 

[B9erSteve]

Does this mean I get to play nurse?

That'll last until the first rectal temp.

I want those improvements NOW!!!!

Just watched that video. Very, Very Nice! Laura said Obviously they are making changes at CC in 2010. Because we're sailing in 2009!

Actually, I have to work a bit today. I go in at 11am and get off at 3pm I love those short shifts!

I'm so tempted to get just the Mickey part of that picture transferred over to a t-shirt for October. That would be too cool and funny.

That's a great idea! I might just utilize those extra iron-ons I have.

Just tell the Dr's that everytime that happens, they need to swap pay with you for that visit/procedure.

At todays re-imbursement rates for physician services... I can't afford the pay cut!

The main selling point for us was the ability to control when we leave the resort and arrive at the ship. We took the Disney Transportation in May 2008 and were one of the last people to get onboard. It was only a 3-Ngt cruise to begin with, and that made it even shorter.

We barely made it to the buffet for the leftovers before they shut down. We had to eat in a hurry before the lifeboat drill. It was all very rushed. I am looking forward to being there early this time and meeting up with the BOBers!

We are just leaving our cars at my parents house. I think they are checking with their secretaries about driving us to the jetport on 10/23. When we get back on 11/1, me and my dad will just take a cab home to pick up the cars. They only live about 5 minutes away from the jetport.

We aren't doing an IEP or 504 YET.... she got through 6 years of elementary school with no problems - just some social and focus issues (She's going into all honors classes for 6th grade and has bordered on gifted - but never QUITE got there...) We are walking that fine line with her starting Middle School - she's already going to feel so "out of place" I didn't want to get her officially labeled (with the 504 or IEP) and make her feel worse.

She meets with a counselor about once a month to help her with the Aspergers (since there isn't a pill to fix that - she has to learn how to read these social cues and stuff) and she suggested some accomodations, but I'm going to talk to each of her teachers and the first week of school and see if they can do some things and not have it in her record. If she starts struggling the first couple weeks, we will do an IEP for her.

We always knew Abby was "off" ... her Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers BOTh told us that she "marches to the beat of her own drum" and it's completely true. She started taking Vyvanse at the end of the school year (last 2 weeks) and her teacher told me it made a REMARKABLE difference in her fidgeting/restlessness... and the side effects have not been bad for her at all (she's on the smallest starting dosage).

Ok - better stop chatting about my kid and her "quirks". It doesn't help that my other DD is the OPPOSITE of her - super social, loves people, etc (probably has some of the H in ADHD.... but not enough to get her tested!!)

Can't wait to see the pics! Love 1st day of school pics!

I don't mind having the ADHD in the school records, the way I see it is that by knowing what the issue is, we can deal with it. I'd rather the teacher know that he has ADHD instead of thinking he's just a goofball or troublemaker. But it depends on the school district - I know there are some that are harder to work with.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for her!

On our first cruise with RCCL I bought transfers through my hotel. We didn't get on the ship until 2-2:30 and it did seem rushed. It wasn't long before the drill and then dinner. It was a wasted day! I figure, we are paying so get me on the ship as soon as possible!

Last cruise we got to the Port shortly after 10.

 

[millerpjm]

Can you tell I'm trying to pad my message count by NOT multi-quoting???

I'm going to be working on our tshirts this weekend. I really need to get them done so it's one less thing to do!

I ordered some of the Iron on Transfers from a DiSigner who everyone raves about... I'll let you know how they work! We are just doing t-shirts the first day of the cruise - so everyone can see us at the port!!

Did you get them from AMY MICKEY (I think that's her handle)... if so, they are nice, and you don't have to reverse the image!

A Cautionary Tale


I was in the pub yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately
needed to fart. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my
farts with the beat.
After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my
pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me.
Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod


========================


The OLD MOTOR

The marriage of an 80 year old man and a 20 year old woman was the talk of the town. After being married a year, the couple went to the hospital for the birth of their first child.

The attending nurse came out of the delivery room to congratulate the old gentleman and said, 'This is amazing. How do you do it at your age?'

The old man grinned and said, 'You got to keep the old motor running.'

The following year, the couple returned to the hospital for the birth of their second child. The same nurse was attending the delivery and again went out to congratulate the old gentleman.

She said, 'Sir, you are something else. How do you manage it?'

The old man grinned and said, 'You gotta keep the old motor running.'

A year later, the couple returned to the hospital for the birth of their third child. The same nurse was there for this birth also and, after the delivery, she once again approached the old gentleman smiled, and said, 'Well, you surely are something else! How do you do it?'

The old man replied, 'It's like I've told you before, you gotta keep the old motor running.'

The nurse, still smiling, patted him on the back and said: Well, I guess it's time to change the oil... This one's black.'

Well, Here's my version of Jeff's cartoon this morning.
