11/24/07 We are Better Than Leftovers!!! Nana Head reunion Part 2

[dsparks]

Sorry gang, I'm not much of a drinker. If I have a drink, it's usually an original margarita on the rocks. Most liquor does not sit well with me. One time I had a couple of drinks and fell...had to have knee surgery! Of course, now I can't designate another driver so I have to stay sober!

I love your preparedness Christine! I've been planning and buying for the cruise since last November! I probably won't have a bathing suit for each day but I definitely don't want to wash clothes either! But we are going to limit ourselves to one suitcase each and pack a duffle bags for souvenirs! The boys don't like ties but they accepted the Disney ties they picked out and look forward to wearing them!

We received our package for our August trip to WDW today! Disney sure knows how to reel us in! Dawn

So, since I'm taking the DCL Bus, what is the worst case scenario for arrival time? Everyone says it gets there later than they would like and I would like to know HOW much later It's not possible I would miss the DIS meet is it?

Hi Guys,

Everyone got so excited about the alcohol, nobody answered my question about the DCL bus

Christine,

I'm mostly a flip flops and tank top kind of girl..........of course I have coordinating flip flops I am going to bring two dresses and two pairs of dress shoes simply because I never have the time to indulge in that kind of thing. I'm going to try and get away with a cover up as much as possible.

The buses run constant until around 3:00 p.m. and arrive by 4:00 p.m.
Everyone is suppose to be on board for the 4 p.m. drill but we have seen buses come as late as 4:30.

The fill up at the airport and then leave, so about every 20 to 30 minutes I would say. I know when we drive to the port we see several of them on the orad about 10 minutes apart going both ways.

The earliest they would leave would be around 9:00 a.m. because the port doesnt open until 10 a.m. and it take about an hour to get there.

Hi Dawn,
Your not alone, I dont drink either and neither does Greg. I have no problem with others drinking, just not for us.
I guess while others are at the tastings we will have to meet up and do something else??

Bad Bob! Go back to your 2008 board ... or get off your butt and book this one with us!

Oh, how I wish I could book this one! Looks like I am not going to be free from clients until December 16!!

 

[pgfour]

Cheri, it is because people in that state have nothing else to do! It is either watch football, or watch the corn grow. Which would YOU rather do?

Hey now, they have cars and electricity! I think indoor plumbing is on its way!

Say what you want -- Memorial Stadium is an awesome place to watch a game! I may have to take advantage of my dad's season tickets and get out there for a game. . .

[J and C's Dad]

It's been one of those days ! . . . . BAD FROM THE START.

It's been almost 2 months when I quit smoking and even on this new medication the doctor gave me

I still have a tough day now and again. But I've only had two days since I quit that I needed a smoke, any other day I don't even think about smoking.

Bad thing about this ..... on this medication even if I did smoke a cigarette it wouldn't do anything for me. I don't feel the affects from the cigarettes

so going back smoking is not a option, why smoke it if you can't feel it !

It's going to be a better day tomorrow

 

[J and C's Dad]

OH ..... KATHY : here is some more bananas

 

[mickeyworld]

Hang in there!!!! Quitting is so hard but it is the gift to your family! Close your eyes and picture a moment in a hammock on Castaway Cay when the going gets tough! Good Luck!!

My god, I finally understand what happens to you when we go shopping together ... IT'S BEEN BY DESIGN ALL ALONG, HASN'T IT????

 

[cruisemutt]

the cats out of the bag, now....drat.

Hey Rick....what are you taking to help you quit?

 

[J and C's Dad]

the cats out of the bag, now....drat.

Hey Rick....what are you taking to help you quit?

I'm taking CHANTIX, it blocks resceptors in the brain to block the effects from smoking. I've had VERY little withdraw. ( no shaking, never on edge)

This is a great medication I was always scared I'd fail, but with this and about 5 sticks of necorate

gum ( I still have about 40 sticks left ) and I'm now a the point I can't stand the taste of the gum !

 

[J and C's Dad]

Oh Bill . . . your easy days are over, she knows now !

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Mutt,
love your schedule. Winging it is a good time for me to have my camera ready
Although I dont think I would of posted your excursion day with Woo I don't know how long you have been married but you should know better by now


Rick, hang in there!! I am so happy for you stopping. I have lost 2 family members due to smoking and it really hurts because it didnt have to be.
So for you and your family, stick with it!!! you'll feel so much better once you've quit and you will feel very proud of yourself and for a good reason.
It is a tuff thing to do.
Mickey will be proud


well off to the airport to drop off family,

kathy

Good morning!

Mutt -- great schedule!! I think my Bill's schedule will look [one clap] "I-Dentical" (pronounced as it was in My Cousin Vinny during the trial when discussing the vehicles/tires used in the robbery at the Sack-o-Suds)!!!

Trying to do a back-up of my work computer before it gets replaced today. Of course, I got an error message saying there was a back-up validation error. I'll give you an 'error' Take that! and that! and that! I feel better now!!

Have a great Friday everyone!!!!
