12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 15

[Jhalkias]

Becka....sorry! Todd has taken on the role of leader of the troops there as Captain Jack and with Mike, Caroline, Brack, and myself it just came out while telling them what would be expected. They didn't go seeking it out to copy it. I am glad that we adopted that rather than the spanx conversion....poor John! Captain Spanx!

Becka, this group is very special!!! Even though there are people who I am enjoying getting to know on the August repo thread, if the stars could be aligned just right and we could cruise with everyone here again...we would switch in a matter of seconds.

Awww . . . John's OK, the Spanx thing is all in fun. They all want me to design panties for them! Some of the stuff from our thread is just too funny and fun to repeat. Although I must say the pot pie went nowhere with those folks.

John,

Did you here i was actually booked on your Repo for about 4 hours on Web?

TA made the Ressie for the wrong way. I was so worried she wouldn't get it changed in time.

She did but lost my room assignment and First seating. NOw it's GTY and Second.

You guys know that if I could go in May I would...and for alot less than what we are paying in August. In the long run no matter what tests are being given...having 15 days to use before it involves making the kids not get moved up to the next grade.....need 13 in May and 5 in August. It just gives us a lot more leway to allow for illness during the year...which is bound to happen. I wouldn't want to cancel the cruise because an illness made one of them miss a lot of school & they didn't have any days left. As far as the group...it would be jumping out of one fire & into another.

See if you cancel December 8th for May, that is 5-7 days you then do not have to worry about them missing, which gives you more leeway . . .

I looked and Looked but couldn't find it. I'm not "close" to LIsa so even if I ask She won't tell me. Like i said earlier with all the side chattering over there who knows what went on.

They actually almost had a fight 20 minutes ago between those that are there and the previous Repo gang about the name of the cruise...

Too much drama for me....

I just feel so bad for Lisa and I guess I just want to know who is causing her so much grief. I am nosy and feeling bad for her and that is not a good combination....

 

[Jhalkias]

I thought about volunteering, but then thought again....

Pj

And I tried to volunteer you, but you chickened out!

Besides, we will be friendly with the WB repo folks and it will be fun to meet some of them, but I do not think we are going to do anywhere NEAR the involvement we had here. I think we will keep our close group to about 13 Geeks and kids.

ME Too....The Thread is just to big.....Too Soon...

 

[Jhalkias]

No.....I can take my Ipod with me!!!

BTW . . . How IS that iPod working out?

 

[becka]

And the solution is to all cruise in December 2008, right?

 

[Jhalkias]

Lisa, Todd, Kristina, Mike and Caroline. I am sorry about the post. It was an accident! Really!

I love it! Arghhhhhhh!

I didn't hear that Mike, but you should have just KEPT it, and stayed with us!

You know, I really want to see the PC, and do this cruise, but after talking to you guys again I begin to wonder. Thank goodness we have a good kernal of our group going with us! If not for PJ, Vanessa, Kim, Angie, Dennis and their families, I would probably cancel out of discouragement.

QUIT saying December! I cannot go in December ever again due to work!

Can you guys make plans for Jan/Feb '09 instead?

The controlling factor in this whole thing was not Price, Iteneray or fellow Passengers . August means no missed school...that simple

It would have been nicer if we could have all stayed together like you said but he Stars and planets said no..

Back from the cookie booth at Lowe's ... 62 boxes in 2 hours there. Hannah and the other Brownie were getting pretty silly by the end.... tunes from My Fair Lady with the lyrics changed to Girl Scout cookie phrases...

Our cookies come at the end of February. Booths in March..

It's my goal to work on Jan 09... if her school sticks to the same schedule, then there will be a semester break aroun Jan 20th or so.

Better chance for warmer weather then. The exit area of Lowe's is NOT well-heated. My toes are not warm yet.

 

[87Heel]

Should I talk to myself until the next

I can't because when you work on payroll that is a very busy time. Getting W-2's out and working on the profit sharing matches, etc.. Then starting about the 2nd week in February you hit busy season for DH so that is a no go. I used to be able to squeeze in some vacation from around Feb 1-7 but that was before I was handed the profit sharing system in addition to payroll.
