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

[MrsMork]

It's 80 here today. I guess the cold weather backed off a bit.

Can you hold that for another couple of weeks?

 

[becka]

where is Becka? We need some projections......

oh, silly me, she is trying to get well instead of spend her entire day on the DIS!

I am back from my nap (since DH woke me up... ) but I am not sure I have the mental agility to perform any math tonight. Not tonight dear....I have strep.

I ended up watching my Tivo'd Studio 60 and then falling into a coma on the couch. My nap was rudely interrupted by DH calling to say he was going to get the kids. Since I was up I then have to go check the mail first and then of course I had to come here to whine about not getting docs. That leads to me catching up until the kids go home when I leave to hibernate in the bedroom and try to keep my germ-y self away from the kids for at least 24 hours.

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

I'm slowly mentioning more and more daily about you guys to DH so that he won't be completely overwhelmed.

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.

 

[MrsMork]

Yep! But as I was the one who got us into that boat, I should be the last out, lol.

This groups thinks we will make to more fun then those who have gone on without gobs of friends. Besides, if 50 people on the boat say, " We don't want to see no stinking dolphins!" they might listen, what say you all?

Pj

I say we will have a great time because we are together. Dull people have a dull time, that is not us!!

 

[lillygator]

Can you hold that for another couple of weeks?

I'd be all for it....I don't have many winter clothes for anyone in the family!!
We are in getting ready to go in the pool as soon as the girls are in bed!

Subject: A Breakthrough


Apple Computer reported today that it has developed computer chips that can store and play music inside women's breasts.

This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts, and not listening to them."

And it's about time!!

 

[MrsMork]

Just wanted to say goodbye this is my last post, before We leave for the world in an hour. I have to put the laptop and two more bags in the car pick up the boys and were outahere. See ya all there. Mum

HAVE FUN!!!!! SEE YOU IN THE HUMMERZINE!!

 

[becka]

The Accuweather forecast does not look good for us. It is a good thing those long range forecasts can be wrong.

Next Thursday (the day we leave) they are calling for snow then rain along our route until we are pretty far south! That could be a giant mess for us! Of course right now it is still 9 days out but I will need to watch it closely. Although it sounds like a nice ice storm is headed her this Thursday so I probably should watch that one more closely right now.

 

[MrsMork]

I'm too excited to work!!

I would think so!!

... Winter Storm Watch In Effect From Thursday Morning Through Late Thursday Night...

The National Weather Service In St Louis Has Issued A Winter Storm Watch... Which Is In Effect From Thursday Morning Through Late Thursday Night.

The First Winter Storm Of The Season Will Be Threatening Central And Eastern Missouri... As Well As Southern Illinois... On Thursday And Thursday Night. Colder Air Will Begin Pushing Into The Region On Thursday... Bringing About A Sudden And Abrupt End To The Mild Weather Of The Past Week.

As Temperatures Plummet... Freezing Rain And Sleet Will First Develop... With This Icy Mix Then Changing Over To Snow. In Mid Missouri... The Freezing Rain And Sleet Is Expected To Develop Around Daybreak... With The Precipitation Change To All Snow During The Morning. In The St Louis Metro Area... The Icy Mix Will Develop During The Morning... Then Change Over To Snow During The Afternoon. Finally... In Extreme South Central Illinois... The Icy Mix Should Begin During The Afternoon... Then Change To Snow In The Evening.

The Threat From This Storm Is Two-Fold. The Mix Of Sleet And Freezing Rain May First Cause Significant Ice Accumulations... And If The Freezing Rain Can Persist For A Prolonged Period Damage To Power And Telephone Lines May Become A Very Real Possibility.

As The Icy Mix Turns To Snow... Accumulating Heavy Snowfall May Become The Second Problem. Although Its Too Early To Give Specific Snowfall Amounts... It Appears That Areas Roughly Along The I-44 In Missouri And I-70 Corridor In Illinois Have The Best Chances For Receiving Accumulating Snowfall.

It Is Important To Remember That A Winter Storm Watch Is Advanced Notice That Severe Winter Weather Is Possible In The Watch Area... It Does Not Mean It Is A Certainty. However... The Latest Forecast Maps Suggest That If The Storm Does Materialize... It Will Have A Very Adverse Impact On The Region.

Those In The Watch Area Should Begin Preparing In Case The Storm Does Materialize. If You Have Travel Planned... You May Want To Adjust Your Travel Time To Avoid The Storm. Also... You Should Use This Advanced Notice To Make Certain Your Vehicle Is Winterized. Make Preparations At Home By Stocking Emergency Supplies... Such As Food... Medicine... And Extra Heating Fuel... Just In Case The Storm Makes Travel Impossible. This Is Especially Important For Those Living In Rural Areas.

Sounds like fun, huh?

OMG....my poor princess....(Haley)....someone bit her on the CHEEK today!! and she is VERY different than Samantha...S was the biter....Haley is a lover....but she did NOTHING to provoke it, the kid was smaller than her, is that possible and I came short of saying did she kick their....but no.....she was so stunned she didn't give them a good WHACK...not that I would teach my children violence or anything.

 

[brack]

DD's have the DIS motto down pat...well Haley - only we can understand her..but she knows you yell back when we yell TAKE WHAT YOU CAN!
My dad knows it too.

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

 

[lillygator]

BECKA!!! I could not imagine....my worst driving experience has been hurricane winds/rain...I would freak in snow or ice!

 

[MrsMork]

so who is rebooking onboard? I just priced next year again and was trying to figure the discount etc. I am pretty sure we will be cruising with you Angie and Dennis! But I plan on dropping my request off early in the week and get that taken care of!! Anyone know if I will have to pay for a deposit for Haley yet? I think it isn't until she's three right? I don't remember!

Sail with us!!!

Isn't that just terrible? The first time someone bit one of my kids I had the desire to hurt the little kid who did it. It is difficult when your baby is attacked without warning and without any cause. Allie has been the victim of a prolific "biter" in the other 1 year old class all year. Actually she has not been bitten for a while...the other kid might now be terrorizing the 2 year olds. She has had some really nasty bruises from the bites and that included to her face. to you V!

My dad and gf both...they keep calling me yelling "TAKE WHAT YOU CAN".....almost not funny anymore....worse than 3 year olds!

 

[brack]

For all the local Maryland area DISers. I was at the Inner Harbor today with my DS and DDIL before they flew back to Dallas. We passed a 5 Guys restaurant! We still have some time but not much!

 

[becka]

Sail with us!!!

I wish the Dec '08 dates would be out so then I could book with you guys again. We cannot (and will not...do you hear me Aaron) book a cruise for 2007. I imagine the peer pressure will be significant on this cruise but we must stay strong.
