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

[MrsMork]

After DrHug leaves I have to go to WM (don't look John1!!) and pick up my ring. DrHug bought it for me several years ago when he was WM pharmacy manager. I had it appraised and the value was 3 times what he paid for it. One of the diamonds fell out and I took it in for reair/replace. Got a call yesterday that is is back and there is NO CHARGE. Wow! I was fully expecting to pay for a new diamond since I had it for so long and I had not had the prongs tightened like I should have. Definately neglect on my part is why the diamond fell out. Anyway, nice bonus there and I am camper.

 

[lillygator]

wow Angie, what a nice surprise!

 

[87Heel]

Nice customer service for you, Angie!

 

[MommyMinnie]

I've missed several pages but....
When we were thinking of how to identify outselves on the CC cruise, did someone remember the green bandana's Kristina arranged for us?

 

[lillygator]

I am not sure that by Friday anyone will need any help identifing us..... well, maybe in a lineup!

 

[87Heel]

Angie, that just prompted me to check the prongs on my engagement ring. I have had to have them repaired at least twice in the past 17 years... Sometimes I think that the dirt is holding the diamond in place...

I like to go to the Spa and see if I can make up a threesome for the Mud Room.

 

[MommyMinnie]

Wow that's great Angie! Not what I would have expected from them!

 

[MrsMork]

I like the pine smell. I remember how amazed I was when we went to Ohio - the flats - and there were xmas trees just growing every where!

Lots and lots of Christmas tree farms up here. We spent many a rainy day out on the farms tromping around looking for the perfect tree, then getting down in the mud to saw it down. Not my idea of a fun day. Some years there when the kids were teens I would just send them with Dad on the "hunt" and I would just make sure there was hot chocolate available when they returned.

True, we might need the bandanas to cover our faces.

 

[lillygator]

well I am spoiled....our trees are cut and they bag them for you and put them on the top of the car.

 

[becka]

Are they anything like Becka's bathroom bats?

Someone better bring the 409...those bathroom bats are messy!

Great idea!! Perfect time to use them!!

 

[becka]

Better than a lime green piece of paper is to write on our cars with that white stuff (do they make lime green). We can identify everyone's cars easier that way and know where to congregate.

One of my prongs was catching on things (sweaters, etc) for a couple of weeks before I noticed the diamond missing. I kept thinking "I need to take care of this or...".

 

[lillygator]

don't they have pirate flags for cars?

 

[becka]

If my DW will let me I want to have my decorations up the weekend before Thanksgiving1

We were looking at our weekends and it looks like our stuff will go up not this weekend but next! Seems crazy but we at least we won't turn on the outside lights and our big inflatable Frosty until after we return from Thanksgiving! It's the most wonderful time of the year.....

DrHug and the kids liked cutting one themselves. They do bag them and put them on the car for you at the farms. They have machines there that shake them to get loose needles off then wraps them up for the trip home.

I like the pine smell. I remember how amazed I was when we went to Ohio - the flats - and there were xmas trees just growing every where!

We have allergies so it is a fake tree for us but it is not the pre-lit one so we still have to get the lights in just the right place. I have a Yankee Candle that is a Christmas tree scent and it works just as well as a real tree without all the sneezing and the mess.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Are we starting at the Residence Inn breakfast buffet... where we do not know anyone, of course....

To be honest, we probably won't...we usually go down and get dunkin donuts coffee and muffin or donuts and head over to the ship early.
