12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 4

Wow, I knew it would be Dani you were refering too as losing it, but I kinda get where it came from. Erika, I feel so badly for her. She already doesn't seem like a very stable person and I just hope she can get through what she will be feeling when she actually SEES what CT did to her. They are brillient masterminds, touche to that, but Erika will be hard pressed to get over it IMHO. Dani handled it wrong by not talking with her BEFORE she got drunk, but I totally see where she was coming from. I just don't get why Erika cares if she can beat Dani or not. Who can she beat???? That is what Dani should have told her. Erika made a big mistake as did many others not getting rid of at least 1 one CT.

Getting off my soapbox!

I can understand Dani getting hurt but she is not handling it well at all. They all made fun of how badly Howie handled his eviction but Danielle handled her nomination absolutely awful! Like I've said, the show was edited and didn't show how completely psycho Dani really became. At one point I was scared that she would become physically violent. She really flipped out. She honestly believed that she was entitled to win and even told Erika that the producers told her that if she did the show she would most likely win so she basically came in the house with the belief that she was the winner.

What do they get if they win allstars?

I ended up signing up for the free 3 day trial for the BB feeds last night!!

Doh! You should've signed up at www.real.com instead of CBS... CBS only offers 3 days but if you go directly through Real you get 14 days free which would take you to the end of the season!!!

You should do what my best friend did, she made the mistake of taking the 3 days but then cancelled and used her DH's name and credit card at Real and got the 14 days.

What do they get if they win allstars?

$500,000. Second place gets 50k and everyone in sequester gets something like 25k I believe so they all leave with a decent chunk of change IMO.

I have already met my Prince Charming!

AAAAWWWWW

 

[MrsMork]

Angie wasn't he in the swamps too and some other horrible local? It's amazing he is still alive!

He has had an amazing number and variety of jobs.

 

[MrsMork]

That's the big reason we are staying there, the access. No way are you all snotty! People who are snotty do NOT talk about SPANX and crock pot recipies. You all are way more interesting! We are not planning to spend a huge amount of time there and we are having only one meal there, with friendy people!

Kim

And don't forget the banana and coconut conversations.

 

[MrsMork]

We really liked the beach club! We stayed in the beach club villas and had plenty of room and a GREAT POOL! But it took so long to get anywhere and DD is used to Disneyland where everything is right there.

Kim

We like BCV alot because it was such a short walk to Epcot. Our favorite.

 

[MrsMork]

I'll be heading off to bed now. Good night, and good morning to our East Coast and midwest friends.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Karen,
Prayers said for your Mom and Dad. Hope there's someone nearby in Florida to check up on Mom. Or someone to drop a frozen roast in the crockpot for her (and she won't lift the lid!!)

Thanks for the well wishes and prayers. And thanks for making me laugh!!! I can always count on you guys to bring a smile to my face!

They are doing a hip replacement today. Apparently with his oncologist, cardiologist, this-gist and that-gist....his doctor list is soooo long...they had to take him off the blood thinner, get him to a hospital with a good cardiology staff in the lurch, and make sure every other doctor was okay with the proosed procedure. In the meantime, they've had him on the strongest drugs possible for 2 days and the poor man is in such pain.

I agree it stinks watching your parents get old. I just figured hip stuff didn't happen this early. Apparently his whole body is just so weak from chemo and diabetes and so many problems that he suffers from. Oh the complications.


I'll keep you guys posted. I have asked a friend to check in on my mom. She seemed okay last night when I talked to her. She's just so used to always being at the hospital for my dad when he needs her, but she can't move or drive with her back. So I guess we will see.

Take care guys.


HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Karen - definite prayers sent your way....you said he is at TGH??

Yup. Been at that hospital so many times!! I could find my way around there blindfolded!!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

I have extra ressies for all meals at Palo. we are brunching on Monday - I have to check the times.

elaine

elaine - what do you mean extra ressies? Like for 4 people and you only really need 2 or like you have 2 or 3 separate ressies?

 

[elaineteresa]

Karen - I hope your father feels better and gets some relief after the hip replacement. These days early 60's is very young. It might be worth trying to free some things up in case you decide you want to visit and give yourself some peace of mind.

sorry, yes I have reserved for 4 but only need 2.

I will try to get our travel agent to get us an extra dinner reservation though for the last night.

Bella - I did get a reply back on the Passporter boards about a wine store and they recommended ABC Fine Wines in Cape Canaveral. It is a large chain located in Florida but I looked at their online catalog last night and they have a good variety of wines from most but not every region. They range from a lot of under $15. bottles to some in the higher price categories.

We will probably make an excursion of it because we will be staying at Cocoa Beach for 2 nites prior to the cruise. We will have a car to drop things at the port too.

Vanessa - I know you are from FLorida - do you know this chain of wine stores - it looks fairly large. just wondering if you could recommend also.

thanks.

We are staying at Cocoa Beach at the Resort on Cocoa Beach - they have direct beach access, pool, kids activities, a 50 seat movie theater. Sort of a resort before the cruise. They are related to Ron Jon - the older less glitzy cousin for 1/2 the price - we are paying about $115/nt. for a 2 bedroom suite.

If anyone is looking for someplace to stay before sailing. We will miss not going to the MVMCP but I would rather unwind and do a day at Disney after the sail. I think there will be p lenty of holiday festivities on the ship.

[elaineteresa]

Does anyone know if the daily activities at CC are the same each day we visit - not the excursions but the other things like whale dig. Can we just hang at the beach one day and then do activities another day - I know the kids really want to do the dig.

I was thinking of scheduling everything like the stingray event, whale dig , bicycle ride for the first day and then the last day just VEG.

I have a request...seems kinda strange to post after I've been posting these other posts, but....I wasn't sure if it was okay to ask and just now decided that I should...

Can you guys keep my father and mother in your prayers? My DM called me and said my father was taken to the hospital...looks like he broke his hip. My father is 63, but suffering terribly with cancer and I bet his body is just really getting weak. Anyway - my mom threw her back out and can't move. So I have 2 parents out of commission. My dad has to have surgery and the ambulance took him to Tampa general. My mom is home alone at the house...hopefully able to move enough to make some food. I wish I could fly down but I just can't get away with the kids, school and work. My heart breaks and some prayers from a kind bunch like you all would really help. THANKS!! I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

okay - I'm out of here...I need to go run some errands and pick up the kids....and oh yeah - they just issued a tornado watch for our area for the next 4 hours .... little football players on a big open field with a tornado watch. hmmm...... are they psycho coaches or what?!!!


hugs, k

Sending prayers from VA!!

 

[DSharpe]

Vanessa, I am going to try to add people if we get the room using some of the existing resies. I will have my clipboard with everyone's resie numbers so I can get us linked up & the extra people seated next to the room so that we can still visit.

so, we should still be trying to book bruch for Mon 10:30 if we want to join, right?
what about thurs - no official group yet?

 

[DSharpe]

I'm sure they'll show the juiciest stuff tonight. A lot of what happened the other night can easily be summed up in the show. I just hope they don't try to "sugar coat" the whole thing in editing to make the "crazy person" seem innocent. I just don't trust them the way they edit the people in the house.

i found the spoiler thread - i have to say, i'm not surprised...
have last night's on tivo - will watch at lunch today
