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

[87Heel]

So how are the "Squeelers" doing????

Steelers are dominating. 17-0 at the half. Roethlisberger led the opening drive to a TD. Saints' Bush has about 8 yards.

Oh, and get DirecTV. We get NFL Network in the regular package.

Me playing catch up again!

Oh MY~! Re Tana's husband. Thank you for keeping us up to date, Joy. I cannot even imagine his thoughts or Tana's fears. 20 minutes - yikes.

Angie - the surgeon what a ninny! Don't you love how they can't appreciate what a patient advocate is supposed to be doing?! I can imagine his words -how dare you write about the patients concerns?! Unbelievable!
I hope the scratches have healed as well. Yikes.

Becka - I can't believe how much the kids have grown - no more babies. What a shocker to see how they have changed.

Lisa - Glad to hear things are progressing with William. Hang in there.

Kristina- Tough going re Devon's ankle. Good luck.

Brack - Fabulous photos!

Marielle - I'm still jealous about Vermont. My sister was up there in May.
Its her favorite place.

Oh John - I have my Patriots jibbits by the way.

Welcome back home from your trip Kim!

I still need to call DCL on my changes. Yeah yeah I haven't done it yet. Sigh. Seems like I am happy to not be going on the Cali cruises.Too much drama. I haven't snooped on the threads at all. I have frankly too much strife in my own life never mind reading about it on a thread. I can only imagine that twisted up stomache feeling it would give me. I hope the Captain is ok.

Did I miss anyone? What am I talking about, I always seem to miss everyone when I am posting.

 

[klineyqueen]

Well, it appears that at least one person has riled up just about everyone who is still there, including the Captain who really gave him a thrashing. Lots of bruised feelings and PO'd people. Too much for me to try and relate here. I had to go over and rubberneck though.

Yikes. I might take a look myself. you have me interested!

 

[klineyqueen]

I leave for Disney on FRIDAY!!! I can't wait!!!!!!

I think I better start packing tonight!

 

[klineyqueen]

I am close to 7,000 posts...cool!

 

[bubbasmom99]

Weeeee, Disney! I am jealous.... We are planning our next DL trip in November but that's probably going to be it until we head to Florida for the 12/6/08 cruise. Did you see the changes in the Dining plan for 2008?

Okay, someone needs to post the cliff's notes version of what's happening on the EB repo thread.... sounds scandalous and I do love to gossip....

Me too. I took the time to go read a few pages, but I am sure there is more.

 

[goofyforlife]

Me too. I took the time to go read a few pages, but I am sure there is more.

yeah another 4,666 pages more...

The whole story....even i don't know all of it... so i don't want to interject anything....

I just recently found out the whole Todd hates BuddyBear who now is ressurected as Sara'sDad thing....

If you want interesting reading try from about midnight Friday on... (Mid-Saturday it gets pretty juicy but if you don't know the people and where they're coming from it might not make much sense to an outsider)

 

[bubbasmom99]

Kristina, I just wanted to say that you are my weight-loss hero I would love to lose 70 lbs by next cruise -- how are you going about it? It would help if I wouldn't eat everything in sight and make excuses to not go to the gym, lol....

Oy, and I am reading a bit of that thread and it's certainly messy. I don't know many of the players but I'm definitely disturbed that Todd and Lisa were attacked in any way. I am amazed and very appreciative of the way our group came together and played nicely.

Very cool! (Bet there aren't any Steelers fans in the band, though!)

Very cool! (Bet there aren't any Steelers fans in the band, though!)

Are you kidding me? This area is FULL of Steelers fans!

Remember, the Browns were gone for several years, and they came out of the woodwork. It also does not help that the Browns have not won a championship in like forever, and are one of three teams to NEVER have been to a Super Bowl . . .

Many of the current fans were not even alive when Jim Brown played.

I can't wait. I am also very disappointed with the dining plan for '08. The fact that the gratuity was included made it so worthwhile for us.

 

[klineyqueen]

I went to that other thread but I was so I just came back here to my favorite Disers!!!!

 

[kimerinc]

Ok, so Amy's Mom, her aunt, and her cousin (all 60 or older) are playing Sorry, and arguing about the rules, and if you have to slide, etc. . . I think it is a game for ages 6 and up, and they can't agree on the rules!

I wish I had a video camera, I could post this on Youtube and have the next viral video!

Are they laughing or is this a very serious discussion?

 

[waltsgirl]

Are they laughing or is this a very serious discussion?

Oh believe me the "Sorry rules" discussion was very serious. The only people that were laughing were those of us in the other room. My mom is 74 and her sister is 84, my cousin's husband is in late 50's and we basically forced him in there to play with the two sisters, poor guy.

At one point my mom said oh wait the rules do say you can do that so here I go... now just about 5 minutes before that she told her sister she wasn't allowed to do the same thing??? Then my mom says on my next turn I will read the next rule! I thought we were going to die from laughing!!

Guess who won!!

If my mom was involved there would be a serious heated discussion!!!

That sounds funny!

Hi Amy!!! What have you been up to lately? You must be keeping yourself busy!

 

[klineyqueen]

I have to tell you guys a funny thing Jake did to his dad this week.

I must lead in the story. As you know we are going to disney on Friday. We have never eaten in the castle. This trip will be our first time. I am very excited. This is something I have wanted to do since I was a little girl. I was 14 on my first trip and silently disappointed that we did not eat there. I have been getting the kids hyped about eating there since I scored my ADR. Anyway....here is the funny thing.

We let Jake play at his swingset and mulched play area when Jason cuts grass in the back yard. He was "cutting weeds" (Major drought and all our grass is dead...but those darn weeds keep growing). Jake started to wave both of his hands over his head (like the "I'm Drowning" sign). Jason stopped the tractor and turned it off. Jake came running over and said in his most excited voice while jumping up and down "WE ARE EATING IN THE CASTLE." Jason just laughed and agreed. Sent him back to playing and finished the weed trim.

I thought it was so cute. One of my friends told me "you have warped your children." but I know you guys would understand.

 

[MrsMork]

Brandi, we do understand! Someday we are going to eat in the Castle too! And we know you all understand and that is why we keep coming back here.
