Fish extender question---Do y'all always get things placed in your fish extender? I made one for us last time and will probably use the same one this time around, but nothing was ever left in ours. All the DisTag gifts were in bags, left hanging on the fish. I don't know, I guess that means that if I forget it, it won't be a big deal. Ours is LSU themed, hanging in my boys' bedroom.

I'm not bringing one. Never needed it last time. Everyone's stuff was in bags anyway and they hung on the hook.

Morning Sistah P

I guess we had more left in our FE on our first cruise as the gifts weren't as extravagent as those on the KK cruise. But....if you want one from us you better bring your FE because mine aren't hangable.

(Tony's and Stacy's aren't hangable either).

UH OH

Just when you thought you could shake me I found you. Wow you all did some chatting over the weekend! It was a beautiful weekend here so we got a lot knocked off Tommy's to do list. We are considering selling our house and buying a patio home. The country club we belong to are having some built on the 4th hole and we thought it may be nice to not have the yard work and maintenance. It seems that Tommy has time to do things at the school but the house seems to be on the bottom of his priority list. My only reservation is how my dogs would adjust.

Sounds like a good plan Leisha

No yard work HURRAH!

Well I just spent some time catching up from back on page 3! Didn't even try to go back to previous thread. Captured some quotes to respond to.

I like the black Nancy

Yes, I'm thinking the green shutters looked better in my head than they do on the house. When I put them up this morning, I liked the black much better myself. Thanks kids!! Black it is!!!

Off to the paint store.

When I captured this quote I was going to vote for black. By the time I finished reading I saw that most everyone agreed & you're going with black! Good choice!

Hi all,

Not much going on here today.

Went to see time travelers wife last night, good movie book was better!!

A friend of mine saw it & told me not to waste my money! Each to his own I guess.

You're just now starting school up there?!?! Wow, our first day was July 31, and Teresa had to go on the 27th to get her classroom ready. Absolutely crazy!

Boy, our summer was barely started by July 31st. School started here today ( some around the area later this week). Usually it's after Labor Day but since it's so late this year it started earlier. And wouldn't you know - this week looks like the best stretch of sunny weather since last spring!!

That sounds like a great idea! I'd like to do the same thing but we're really tied because of the housing market coupled with the closure of the Navy base here. Houses aren't worth very much right now. Maybe in a few more years.

Question for the men (or the women who pack for their men)- how many pairs of trousers do you take for palo, palo lunch, formal and semi formal? Neil will change as soon as dinner is over, so I dont want to overpack stuff he wont have on for more than a couple of hours. (I'd rather keep the room for my stuff!)

Also, shoes - what a pain is that! - last time we took some he no longer wnated and left them at the end of the cruise. This time he wants to bring them home as he still like them - they take up sooooo much space. I can get 4 pairs of mine into the space his one pair take up.

Shirts and ties - I'm taking 3 shirts and 2 ties and he can rotate and mix and match - that'll be enough right for the 4 occassions?

The rest of his clothes will be laundered at the villa so we dont need to take enough for 14 days this time.

Dan is debating between suit or sport coat/pants, but he can't bring both. I'm trying to bring mix and match outfits becasue like you say, we'll only wear it for a couple hours. I figure one could wear Sunday's outfit again on Friday if necessary!

All the time and not just in movies. I can bearly remember what my name is most of the time.

I think it's Leisha isn't it?!!!!

AWwwwwwwwwwwwww how sweet, we don't care what any one wears. Roger is a polo & docker wearer also.

I'm going with the same stuff I wore on our 3 previous cruises. We'll all be neat and clean I'm sure!

Have a good night all!

what is United anyway? badmitton league? tiddleywinks? cricket?

i feel a "hit man" being sent my way.

Ruh Roh Mickey, you are in big trouble now.

I keep telling Sean one of the first things I am buying after my surgery is a Man U tshirt. Unfortunately they don't sell them in pooh girl sizes, only in posh spice sizes. Sean said no wife of mine is going to wear a Man U shirt, this is an Aresnal house. I told him that I will miss him.....

 

[disgrits]

This goes out to Disgrits - Paige, I haven't forgotten that I borrowed 'your' Avatar. I'll give it back to you when we meet up!

No biggie. I think everyone can tell the difference in our posts--I have a cajun accent in mine.

 

[captchris]

Well we went to open house at our kids schools tonight and met with the kids teachers. They were both totally cool about the cruise and both of their first words were, "can I come too?"

 

[Scouter]

It actually took me a couple of posts to figure this out
I kept thinking that what was being said was nothing that was right for you Paige.
Then I looked at the screen name and realized.... duh me

Of course, you post with an accent, I should've know

It's been two minutes since the last post. We are only sitting at # 3 on the Cruise meets list... Let's get this party started.

Has anyone else got their cruise packet yet? My TA says we will get it in mid Sept. If its coming earlier I will have to get her to send it along... she is holding out for both our WDW and DCL stuff.

DH keeps saying he hopes the cruise is all I think it will be!! I am way to excited!! The kids got nothing on me!!

somebodys getting excited!!!

 

[Dyerneeds]

(and for ANOTHER laugh - since it's REALLY slow tonight....here is the comparison next to my unfinished sad attempt

oh no angie... your's is really good. i mean it.(snicker)

sorry, couldnt resist.

 

[Dyerneeds]

I was just online looking at all of the FAQ's on Dreams Unlimited. Found out they have a deal with Disney to have the Docs sent directly to the passenger rather to them and then to the passenger. Rockin' good news. I should get my docs early then!

I don't do well with that either. I'm usually mild mannered and relaxed. But after having irritated me my co-workers say Angry-Steve comes out and he's not so nice to play.

I had a door-to-door guy come to the house the other day. Usually I politely tell them not interested and close the door.

This guy rings the bell about three times in rapid succession (strike one, I know the sound of my doorbell and know when I need to answer it. Multiple rings only serve to annoy.) Then when I answer the door he has his iPod earphones in, with his back turned to me, dancing (strike two, if you aren't serious enough about whatever you are trying to sell how do you expect me to take you seriously?) Then he turns in an appearantly coreographed move and suddenly appears to notice me. Affects a german accent and launches into a "cutesy" bit about not being from America. (maybe this works to endear some weaker minded fools to him, but he was already on strike two and I was not in the mood for cute.) I cut him off and asked him what it was that brought him to my door. Again he starts into his long-version of the sales pitch. (Strike three, when asked to get to the point, one must always get to the point!) At that time I launched into him about interrupting me with my family time (I really don't get enough) and how rude it was to waste my time in such an inappropriate manner. (Angry-Steve) He couldn't gather up with assorted sales boxes fast enough. I really shook him up.

So YOURE the guy who slammed the door in my face! All I'm trying to do is sell magazine subscriptions to pay for my Disney Cruise!!

On our last cruise with DU we got our docs exactly 3 weeks prior to sailing.

no DU for us.
but i'll be checking that DCL site about 5 times a day real soon to see if we get that free upgrade.

I THOUGHT I noticed that; makes me want some gumbo!

Who's in the Corps; you or your husband?
