12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 13

[kimerinc]

OMG!!! I can't believe this!!! OK, it started when the kids came in from school crying because someone stole our Santa decoration and knocked over Mrs. Clause. I told them that it was probably some kids. They thought that it was a few kids in the neighborhood. Well, they were outside visiting the dogs next door and the other kids came over. Apparently, DD accused them of taking the Santa and they told her it was teens who took things on the block. One of them is a freshman in HS...who doesn't play age appropriately with the younger kids & IMO should not be playing with them to begin with. DS knows how I feel & doesn't go over there when he is outside. Anyhow, one boy said something & DD called him an idiot. He hit her on the arm and she hit him back. He hit her again even though DS told him to stop so DS slugged him. This is where I saw what was happening out the window & ran outside to stop it. DS & the other boy hit each other in the chest a few times & DD punched the boy in the back. OY BOY!!! DH wont be home for a bit. YIKES!

Lisa, You REALLY need a vacation!!

I glad to hear your dad at least knows. My DW has been told but ...... I'm not sure if she fully understands yet!

At least she came to Knoebels and met us!

DH is the acting "delivery boy" today so I will have to go back out to pick Sarah up from dance at 8.

Hi everyone!


Nothing like screwing up the DIS manifest this close to the cruise.......but..........we downgraded today. (Sorry Lisa!!) We originally booked two Cat. 9's when we thought a friend of our oldest son was coming with us. The friend bailed, but we kept the two rooms. They still had Cat. 12 Gtys and the savings was just too much for us to pass up. I'm not thrilled with the idea of a smaller, inside room......but maybe it'll get me onto one of those Cat. 4 deck chairs at long last!!


So, apologies to everyone keeping (or trying to keep) accurate stateroom #'s. Don't know if we'll get assigned a specific stateroom before we get to the Port or not. We have docs in hand, though......they said we can just cross out the old stateroom ## and put in the new one.


Anyway, a little "FYI".

Don't worry Charlotte, we will find you!! Congrats on the savings. Keep checking online. We were assinged very quickly.

 

[klineyqueen]

I am trying to figure out how much cash to bring.....

We were talking about that last night too.

 

[pyramid2000]

I'm going to do a room check on the DCL website and see where the room count stands...

 

[tynkerbell]

OK, I need to get DW to a doctor or something....

I called her this afternoon after making a special trip home to check the mail before running DD to shovel practice.....I called her and "docs are here"...her response? "SO.....?"

WHAT?!?!?!?!? Is she running a fever? Has she been getting enough fluids? Are you sure she hasn't been taken over by aliens???

 

[lillygator]

Yes because we have 5 day park hoppers left over from our last trip. All it will cost is resort cost (value or mod), food and transportation down there (most likely drive).

darn it!!!

 

[tynkerbell]

No docs again today and we got more mail for someone on the other side of town. I bet that is where our docs are. Should I call DCL tomorrow (or does DU have to do it) and find out if they have been mailed and when?

Your TA will have to call. Are they going to your TA or directly to you? Our arrived at our TA's office today so we'll have ours tomorrow if he actually gets around to overnighting them to us like he's supposed to.

 

[lillygator]

are they non expiring Becka?


If you truly go over TG, we will meet up with you (if you want) DH gets a four day weekend and I am determined to go next year for sure!

 

[lillygator]

but I am on DU right now looking at their discounted cruises......need to talk DH into hurricane season!!

 

[lbgraves]

umm Lisa, you are a stick! Are you eating enough?

LOL! That was 2 years ago...and probably 15 pounds.

 

[lbgraves]

Oh yeah, it was really funny. Ring the doorbell over and over and over...

Thanks for reminding me!!! I couldn't remember anything we chatted about but knew that it was funny!

 

[tynkerbell]

Well, I was talking to DD on the way to Horses today and told her about SOME of the stuff that goes on here...told her, there may be some weird stuff being talked about at the dinner table, stuff you may not understand...

You mean like the banana suit?
Ummm, yeah, there's that...and like Becka, her little boy....
yeah, I heard about that....
And, well, he blamed IT on a bat
A BAT??
Yeah, but then it wasn't a bat, it was an elephant.
WHAT?!?
And then there is Karen, you remember Karen...from Brusters.
Oh yeah...
Well, she'll be on the plane with us....<silence> <---not sure what that meant
Then, ummm. Caroline. Remember her from Knoebels?
Yeah..
Well, her husband doesn't know about us..
What?!?
Yes, and there's others that don't know...
Then there's crust...
Crust!?!
And we'll be wearing lime green.....
Oh no I won't!
Oh yes YOU WILL!
<silence>

So...she may recognize SOME of the talk...nothing about wireless or pricing or ...anything a 13 yr old should know...

I'll save the rest for the terminal.

 

[lillygator]

LOL! That was 2 years ago...and probably 15 pounds.

She was still cute and itty bitty last year!!! and did you guys get a load of those baby blues??

OK for you & Joy too!!! Use a perminant marker & cross out the old stateroom number on your luggage tags. Write the new number on there too. That is what we had to do last year.

 

[Disneyjamie]

Costco said they were not sending yours in the mail because you bothered them too much. Sorry.

Aren't you the one that has too much time on their hands, as the TA from Costco put it???

V - That Arkansas game was bad news around my parents house this weekend. My Dad was not very happy that his Razorbacks lost this one. He tried really, really hard to get tickets but they were sold out and no one that really had tickets wanted to give them up.

In case any of you are familiar with the WOOO PIG SUEY! chant used to cheer for the Hogs you will think this is funny! My Dad and brother were getting wound up before the game and started doing the WOOOOO PIG SUEY! chant. Nathan came up to me and wanted to know why Grandpa was screaming about silly pigs! That got a really big laugh around there and forevermore Grandpa will have to hear about his silly pigs!

I know the chant well. When I would travel to our units in the NW Arkansas area I would hear when a game was close.

PS: I am playing catch up to almost 1,000 posts! I'll try to look at realtime occasionally.
