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

Our first VCR had a wire for the remote even.

YES!!! You had to be careful not to trip over it. I had forgotten about that!

BTW has anyone seen the advertising for Baby TV. It's supposed to be a learning channel for the 3m - 1 yr old crowd that's on 24-7.

I thought people were trying to get kids away from TV...***

DirecTV gave it to us free for a month when it started. Baby TV is a bizarre little place... yet it did fascinate Walt. Wonder how many customers they have for 9.95 a month.

Guess it's going to be a slow night.... (Unless the left coasters get together with Caroline later) Time for sleep....

 

[lbgraves]

We had a real tree go sailing out the front door and across the yard one year! Was a trunk problem!

OH MY!!!! Kathryn told me a terrible story about the Christmas she was 6. They had lots of small world light ornament things that she remembers. Her dad got mad & picked up the tree & shoved it into the fireplace, breaking many of the glass ornaments. Her mother was so upset with him that instead of salvaging what she could she dragged all of it out to the curb. They had to go out & buy all new ornaments the next year.

Baby tv and even the baby thing on Disney channel FREAKS me out.....fascinates Haley though.

Because DD and DH are so brand specific picky on milk and mostly eat fruit and very healthy meats WM has never worked for us. They are so produce picky it is tough for me at the best store when grapes are out of "the best" seasons. She drinks Cream of Weber or Winder Dairy chocolate milk almost exclusively (these are both more local brands) and we prefer the local cheeses and WM just does not stock those.

BUT, if I can get those prices on electronics on TG, dang that is a good deal!

I will NOT buy meat at WM. I also do not buy anything but apples & oranges there in the produce department.

 

[lbgraves]

Dramamine makes DD CRAZY! She freaks out and yells at me for about 20 minutes then falls over asleep. Last year she told me I was JUST LIKE THE POST OFFICE! (we don't like the post office, specifically the passport people)

YIKES! Going postal at 6 yo?

 

[lillygator]

I don't get my meat anywhere but Publix.....I am picky!

 

[kimerinc]

I have a raging sinus infection. I suppose I should have gone to the doctor a week ago...but at least I will be getting relief soon!!! I still feel like my head might explode. This has been growing since a few weeks ago when I was whining on this thread! I just hope my kids and Dh don't get it!

GO SOON!!!! I have been on antibotics for 20 days and steriods for 6 trying to get rid of mine before the cruise. HURRY!!!!

 

[kimerinc]

Mine is a large story book. One of the Chipmunks took it, had all the other characters sign it and then mailed it to me.

Angie, I thought this was such a wonderful idea, I ran right to borders and got the princess collection. GREAT GREAT IDEA!!!! THANK YOU!!!

 

[Bella2000]

I grew up with Roger Moore too . . . more funny without a doubt.

Remember the "Saint"?

John1

Yes! the Saint! Also, what was the show where the guy was trying to get off the island. He was referred to as a number (I think) or something and everytime he thought he got off some blob thing brought him back. It was a retirement community for former spys or spys who wanted to retire.

Do you have the pink or purple book for the cruise? I can't decide which one to have DD take.

 

[lbgraves]

OK, so I took DD to the doctor to get checked out again. The doctor said that it is still a virus and runs about 2 weeks. Cough meds don't work...that is why there are so many of them. OY BOY! When I mentioned that DH wanted to go up to see MIL & her condition he gave me an Rx for Zithromax but didn't really want me giving it to her unless we had to. If her nose starts running it could be the flu because they have had that start to come in. I am wondering if I should just keep this Rx with me in case she starts to get sick on the ship? I don't really want to give it to her unless we need to.

 

[lillygator]

Do you have the pink or purple book for the cruise? I can't decide which one to have DD take.

we have both...and a "preschool" tales one. IDK if we'l take it although Samantha amlost can't go to bed without one.
Can this be given to GS?

 

[kimerinc]

I put Becka's "list" into a document and it was very helpful (thanks becka). I have only added an extension cord to it and removed the diaper and sippy cups and AAA things thus far. Most others are pretty relevant.

If you all can just add to my list I'll just use that one vs. creating one myself. That is the only thing I stress about - packing. Other than than I just purchase things on board and last I checked underware isn't sold on board.

ok, here is a funny. One time I ran out and had to buy more - don't ask me why, long story - anyway, Downtown Disney has the seven dwarfs underwear for 7 days. DH thought that was really funny!

 

[Bella2000]

VCR come on people , what about Beta Max ..

Eureka - so its my fathers fault. I just realized I was evidently surrounded by gadgets. We had one - what a waste of money in the long run huh.

 

[tynkerbell]

hereos people??!! is the cheerleader the Raising Helen girl?

According to www.imdb.com she played Audrey in Raising Helen.

for adults?! That is cool.

 

[Bella2000]

And we have been living out of the clothes baskets for the last several weeks . . once behind, impossible to catch up - especially with the DIS to DIStract you!

John1

At least we are not alone.

 

[tynkerbell]
