12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 3

PJ - I'm sure someone could fit you in - If one of my boys doesn't want to participate, you're more than welcome to ride with us! Of course, I'm assuming my DH is would want to do this (since I haven't even mentioned it to him yet! haha)1
Diana

Diana, I would be glad to warm a seat, if your son decides not to go, and if the rest of your family does.

Isn't it great when you actually get to go grocery shopping without the kids? I don't get to do it very often but sometimes I just want to hug the shopping cart - or anything around me - I know, simple pleasures!

For me it is shopping without DM, I am the youngest so I am living with DM to help her out, she need daily assitance. Shopping with her is so slow, she wanders and menanders through the store, . I am, a get in, get the stuff, and get out kind of lady.

Kim, do you have a personal paypal account? That would be an easy way for people to send you the money online too.

Lisa,

I had a very very bad experience with pay pal, so I don't use them anymore. Sorry!


Also for everyone.... I have had some great questions via PM so I wanted to give you a visual on the child size. I can fit a 50 geltabs bottle of excedrine Migrane wrapped once around by 5 sheets of paper ( I am at work working with what I have here) through the hole, that is not very big for your whole hand... Keep that in mind when you are choosing a size.

Thanks!

Kim

I noticed some email adresses on the manifest were AOL. Did everyone see this email?

Dear AOL Member,

I want to let you know about some exciting changes happening at AOL. Our service has always provided both a way to connect to the Web and an entertaining online destination once you're connected.

Today we are announcing that AOL's software, email, and many compelling AOL features -- including your Address Book, Screen Name, the Buddy List® feature and more -- will be free to everyone with an Internet connection.

What Does This Mean for You?

Nothing about your service arrangement with us will change unless you want it to. Your current plan, which includes 24/7 customer support, unlimited email storage, your email addresses and all the AOL content and services you rely on, will still be there for you.

Even if you choose a different high-speed provider from the one you use to connect to the Internet today:
You can keep your AOL Screen Name and email address for as long as you want to use it, completely free;
You can continue to use your AOL software, and you can still get all your favorite features and content, completely free;
You will still get the most comprehensive free set of safety and security tools available, plus world-class, high-speed content like video, music and more.
All of this is free, no matter who provides your Internet connection.

Why Is AOL Doing This?

We're simply changing with the times. There are many options for Internet access, whether it's dial-up or broadband. At the same time, a lot of online content and services are now available on the Web free of charge because they are supported by advertising. So, while your Internet connectivity needs may change over time, what you love about the Web does not. We are now able to ensure that the familiar AOL experience, your Screen Name, your Address Book, your Buddy List, your Favorite Places, and other content and features you enjoy, will always be available to you for free.

In September, you will be hearing about more changes and other new features at AOL. Until then, you can visit AOL Keyword: New AOL for more information and to sign up for informative email alerts.

Sincerely,

Jon Miller
Chairman and CEO
AOL LLC

Thanks for posting the sizes, Kim. I was wondering whether DS needed the child size or not since he has small wrists. I just measured his wrist and he wants the regular size (medium) so can you reserve all mediums for my family (6 bracelets total if kids get 2), please. I'll send a SASE as soon as you weigh them. We'd like to be able to wear them at WDW before the cruise.

Yours are saved for you!

We are taking ours , Always do when they are with us ---Keep in mind , this is a very Family orientated Island and people . With that said it also is a spot that eurpeons vacation and of course other countries where sunbathing topless is not considered a crime ...But people are descreet about it ..dang I cant spell this morning ...lol

hey, we have a suit optional beach on the Toronto islands. It is on the far side, away from the harbour. It is quite a trek to access it, but it is usually the last beach to be closed due to bacteria. I don't think many people use it.

Your job must be as bad as mine if you keep your 50 ct. Excedrine Migraine easily accessible at work! Sounds like we both need a vacation....

 

[Bella2000]

I believe there is still a car rental (Budget maybe) at the Swan resort near Epcot. You can easily drop-off/pick-up there but I don't know about returning at the port. You can get there by using WDW transportation.

I know National is there I used it last few trips.

 

[pjpoohbear]

We have not heard back from PJ on this border thing.

Haven't found a rope boarder yet, but will keep looking. I will have something by this weekend for approval. If not I will go with Lisa's blue boarder with mickey heads, the DCL symbol might be pushing it, .

Pj

 

[kimerinc]

OMG! I am the same size. I might have an inch on you. You look so petite in your picture.

Put us down for 3 M and 1 L. I'll get the SASE out ASAP.

I did that on purpose. We look smaller because we are in front of the elephants. I say always take a picture with elephants, you'll look much smaller than you are. That picture is 3 years old... No, I am a giant on skiis. AA size 10 shoe... Gotta love it as a teenager... But my mom used to say, think of how silly you would look with tiny little feet.

Kim

 

[DisNeed]

Hey All-

PJ- I wish I could be like you... I tend to wander the stores too. I like new gizmos and new items.

Kim- I will get that info to you as soon as my DH comes home, so I can tackle him down and measure him. =)

Lisa- I just saw Kaitlyn's pic with Alice on the Picture forum... SOOO cute!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

You are right! My big cruise planning right now has been to work with the bank and our Tax CPA to see if they can help me during December so I can actually have a day off... Everyone is being very nice so things are looking up...,

For me it is shopping without DM, I am the youngest so I am living with DM to help her out, she need daily assitance. Shopping with her is so slow, she wanders and menanders through the store, . I am, a get in, get the stuff, and get out kind of lady.

Pj

Yup! You know exactly what I go thru...though I bet that your mom stops in a different department than toys to look at everything.

 

[lbgraves]

Pj

I wish that I could find a way to send it to you. Hmmm...now to search! I agree that the DCL on the border was a little over the top. The MHs are a little more subtle...not that the group is.

BTW, where did you find the hammock smilie? It is gone now so I can't link it for the site.

 

[lbgraves]

Hey All-

Lisa- I just saw Kaitlyn's pic with Alice on the Picture forum... SOOO cute!

Thanks! They were both looking at me & I took it just as DD snuck a peek at Alice. I LOVED it! When I commented that she was looking at Alice, she asked if I would like to take another....NO WAY!!! That one was perfect.

 

[lillygator]

aside from pirate wear is anyone bringing costumes for 60's, 70's 80's nights? or going to participate?

 

[lbgraves]

PJ, google "rope border." Can you adapt the first one? Here's another. http://share.studio.adobe.com/axAss...are.studio.adobe.com/axBrowseSubmit.asp?c=111

 

[becka]

We are planning on attending 80s night but we will not dress up. I have too much other stuff to worry about. I figure my 80s knowledge and attitude will have to be enough.

 

[lbgraves]

I'm not bringing costumes for those but do hope to be able to see a little bit. I would LOVE to see the skit there the last night!

Kim

I hate shoe shopping. I've gotten to where I just ask the clerk for anything available in a 10 and choose from that. But, DM (yours and mine) are right about the size. If my feet were small I would probably tip over!
