Thanks for the comments about the pin, all. I've been collecting those pins since two cruises ago (2006). I traded most of mine for others (a word to those who don't know about pin trading... DO IT!) It's a lot of fun being on the ship and trading pins with officers and the store keepers. Just look for the blue lanyards. Normally cruisers put their pins on lanyards as well, but I chose to put them on this neat hat I got at Castaway.
A funny thing about that pin in particular... The bill of the hat is slightly thicker than the rest of the hat, so I have no stopper on it . The pin is poking out, but I don't feel that it will fall out anytime soon.

Is there an official count as to the leader of first page posts? If the guys are really winning then maybe we should count 100th posts???? Then would the gals be winning?

Dawn had some totals once, I dont know if she kept it up or not.

Last year I gave out prizes to people who had the most top of the page and on the 100 mark (s) through the entire thread and I counted all the bananas posted too.
I gave a prize for the most bananas in one post. Josh got it by just 2 or 3 bananas I think. It was really close wasnt it dawn. I know it was over 1400 in one post?? Just cant remember now. but it was fun to keep odd stats bevcause those people had No idea I was doing it and they were very surprized to get a crazy gift at the meet.


would you like to keep track of who gets on the 100's for the thread??
Now is the time to start it because it would be easy to go back and count them before we get too many more pages. Just give us a reminder once in awhile as we approach a 100 mark so we will get competitive for it


see what happens when you ask a question, now you've been volunteered to be a counter


So I guess Dawn is also volunteered to count the top of the page list and i will still do the bananas

If you can think of any other stats to count let me know

I think the 1000, 5000 10, 000 etc should be marked too.

Josh I have 2 billed caps with pins on them. One is all donald duck and the other is all goofy, and I couldnt get them to go through the bill part, way too thick. I also have CC pins with those characters on it. It doesnt show but i have lots of pirate themed pins fromthe ship too. The board takes 4 photos to show the entire thing. Maybe some day I iwll take new photos now that it is all filled up with some unusual pins. I love trading them on the ship or in the parks,

These are some of my pins, many are duplicates that i use for trading. This picture was taken 6 months ago, now the entire board is filled up with single pins, not more duplicates. I have it hanging inthe RV. Many of my pins are cast member only pins and award pins for cast members my son gave to me while working at disney. I have a small box filled with special pins and they wont fit on the board, I need a 2nd one.

here is another angle. some of the individual pins he had for sale, he sold about a dozen special pins which arnt shown here the rest he gave to me, these are some of them and the lanyard . It has a large pin on the bottom of a villian, I cant think of his name, something like churnabob?? He is in fanstamic at MGM. a smaller version of him is on the lanyard to the far right on the top strap.

Good Morning! I've had Elizabeth since 8 this morning. She wanted to see her nana.

I haven't counted top of the pages since I last did it, but since I'm drafted I'll try to keep a running count In my spare time, I'll count them today.

Suppose to reach 87 degrees today. So we decided to put off the zoo another day. So it will be next week before we'll go.

1 week until we're on the road for Gatlinburg! I figured we'll be on the road for 4 - 5 hours hours by this time! Road trip!

Well, if I'm going to start counting I've got to quit writing. I'll be back....

Yes you do, because even though we want the ladies to stay ahead of the men, we will all be trying to pass you up in pages too

There will be a bounty on keeping you off the top of the page now

Hey, did the check arrive??


Kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

yes, we are 6592

Chuck

Ok nanaheads, we need to try for deck 6 when we book.
Chuck has set the deck for the nanaheads since he is the only one with a room number
For the 08 cruise I think by accident even we have nanaheads in 5 rooms in a row and 3 more really close on deck 6.

You can request specific rooms when you book and if it is filled you can try to get close to it. If you book a year out you pretty much have your choise of rooms.
