12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 11

[lbgraves]

And I want to know why those folks over on the "Pet Peeves" thread don't understand that. More than 2 had said "kids running and screaming in the halls." For Pete's sake it's a Disney Cruise, they are excited, they are children. Excited little children streaking the halls and squealing with joy should not be an irritant!

Too many kids in the pools?

That looks neat!!! What about if the power goes out? What powers the digital display? You can still get in, right?

It is run by regular AA batteries.

Amy . . .

This is your voice of reason chiming in from Columbus . . .

Remember how Jim Brown used to play football? When he scored a touchdown, he acted like he had BEEN there before, and expected to be back. No dancing, no shimmy, no in your face.

Quiet, confident and gracious victory means more than boastful victory, that is hollow when you try to tear down your opponent to build yourself up.

(Did they REALLY say Meaningless posts? How DARE they!)

There you go sounding just like Amy has said....the voice of reason. You just couldn't follow thru though, eh?

Here is DS enjoying his birthday on a field trip to a nearby nature reserve center.

Corn snake

Rat snake

The girl passed by him without letting him touch it & the guy I had told it was his birthday & he had been talking about touching a snake for weeks was going to just have her pass back by him but then had him sit at another table. DS's eyes lit up when they told him he was going to be able to hold the things. EWE!!!!

That sounds like a birthday nightmare rather than a birthday treat!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Good night guys! I guess this will be another long night. Time to plug in the humidifier. I'll let you know how the doctor goes with DD.

 

[MrsMork]

Yeah, Walt's available. He has a bad cold. Fair warning: He is a cranky sick kid (instead of the snuggle on the sofa sick). And if you give him medicine for the disgusting nose, then he goes into hyperdrive.
Well, now I've sold that to you!!!

Will he watch Disney movies with me?? I'm up for it.

 

[pyramid2000]

Well, use it for the 'safehouse' and the guys will pay the tips.

Hmmm, the safehouse... So many possibilities.

 

[pyramid2000]

I will go ahead and speak for DH and tell you other guys that he will want the couch. He feels more at home that way....

 

[MrsMork]

Do you want to come deal with DD's cough for a couple days? DH is after me to take her to the doctor now. She ended up with pneumonia after being misdiagnosed by the quack a couple years ago so he is worried that this is more than allergies. She started coughing like a seal Saturday night. Triaminic, vicks vapor rub, and the humidifier have kept her going thru the night. I guess that I will be trying to make her an appointment for some time tomorrow when the office opens.

Uh oh. The offers are coming in. Looks like I will need to find a central place to gather with all the sick little ones.

Old enough to drive but not to drink?

Actually , if you get out of the tourist trap and go into local bars he could drink , as there really isnt a drinking age ..but we always let him drive on the back side of the island ...thats one of his little perks he looks forward too ..Plus at 14 almost 15 he is almost as tall as me at 6 2 ....dang they grow fast

 

[pyramid2000]

I hope we do get to stand beside you....my boys will be happy to entertain your kids!!!

...think we can sneak a little drink at the lifeboat drill? We can tell the lifeboat person in charge that our name is Lisa G..

I've seen plenty with drink in hand!

BTW, you don't have to stand in any particular order, just how you arrive.

 

[pyramid2000]

...um...do you want the one who wears Mickey pastees to chase your daughter or the other one?

A friend of mine, and fellow VietNam Vet, was once asked what it was like to be in VietNam. His answer really hit home with me and made me realize why I was so stressed all of the time too. He said to think about the 'Scaredest' you ever been in your life, then multiply that by 24 hours a day for 365 days. THAT was it exactly. I did 2 tours and was a mess with me and I'll Kick Your A** kinda person and that was not good. SO, now I am DrHug, and have adapted to the PTSD on my own. It's just not worth it to stress to death. I still get tweaked once in awhile, by something or someone, but am able to instantly cool down. Not to say I was a bad guy running around looking for trouble, but I did have a temper problem and if someone mistreated someone in a bad way, or cussed in front of my kids, or was overtly threatening in any way, I was in their face. Laughter and not taking life so seriously is much better. AH, poor MrsMork. How she must have worried about me. Sorry. But, hey....this is a good place to vent... I usually don't open up about that stuff too much. But...

I Feel Good.....................James Brown.

By the way....Happy Veteran's Day to all you Veterans out there. I was bunkered up for the weekend. And to all of the Awesome guys serving everywhere. I Salute you. I know the guys in Iraq and Afghanistan are feeling what I just described. God Bless you all.

Thank YOU Dennis!!

 

[MrsMork]

She could do the great movie ride. There are some....but not many!

We see MGM as more of a "go see" place than a ride place. We enjoy Muppets, Indy, and want to see the stunt show. DrHug and I will need to do TOT also, but Aaron probably won't do that with us. We will have to take turns.

That sounds like a birthday nightmare rather than a birthday treat!!!

I HATE snakes.

A friend's children have snakes, she knows I hate them, but that did not stop her from trying to put one in my face. I almost killed myself trying to get away from that stupid thing.

"Snakes, why did it have to be SNAKES!"

What movie? (not Disney)

(Please note, this is not an insignificant Post)

(Sorry Lisa - I am really a reasonable person!)

[MrsMork]

No Rum , WHY is there always NO RUM !!!!

Now that is EXACTLY what I said!

 

[87Heel]

I'll be here for the mini but not sure about the next milestone

 

[klineyqueen]

I really like Emmitt....I loved what he said last week I think, when all three couples were there somethign to the effect of these guys are both my calibur (on the football) level.

I like them both. But I really really really like Mario!
