12/5/09 -- DUMMY -- The Cruise Your Heart Desires Most ; )

[cruisin'Mike]

When Laura (eyoreluver) told me that both she and you two were on this cruise, I had to consider it...and then Julie (bellelinus)insisted
So, yes I'm booked for the July 18, 2010 Baltic cruise

Now if you guys change your mind and decide not to go, I may hop over to another cruiseline since our reason for staying with DCL was the great people we met on the PC Repo

I gotta get over to that thread to say hello later today

That's awesome! I can't wait to tell Linda, she's going to be thrilled!

Ya'll keep talking about the 15th, but I actually won't be there till the 17th so I hope everyone is still going to be there for a meet during the week? I was kinda hoping for a night at Jellyrolls maybe?

Tina I know what you mean about the funky mood...the start of cold weather really depresses me every year. I definitely have that seasonal disorder thing, which is why I NEED to live in Florida! Plus we have no real vacations planned till August & it's killing me! Not to mention I'm starting to look for work & my timing couldn't be worse with the economy & all! Sorry for the bellyaching, I felt the need to commiserate with you!

We will be there until the 22nd so no worries! I'm glad you are going...do you know which resort you will be staying at?

Oh good, I was starting to get nervous! We're hoping to stay at AKV, which is the one DVC resort we haven't stayed at yet in WDW, but I can't book until January.

Where are you guys staying?

We are currently booked there but are hoping to move to BWV at 7 months..we love the AK but love being in the middle of Epcot/Hollywood Studios as we spend most of our time there.

We'll still be there ; and did you say "JellyRolls"? Just name the time and place and I will be there, $1 bills (or $5, $10's) in hand

Happy Birthday Mary Ann!!!

Thanks, Diane

Well....

Alicia is packing - the kids are asleep... and I am half packed - I worked at it about 15 minutes... so in another 20 minutes I should be fully packed. Ahem... SHOULD... BE ... PACKED.

Oh Boy!

So.... I decided to take a moment out to just check my E-mail ... and on a whim I checked my JUNK MAIL folder... as ya never know what sort of treasures have been inadvertantly BLOCKED - and besides I was looking for my ZIP LINE confirmation from the PV folks.... and look here... I discovered I am elgible for 40% of $5.7 million US Dollars! Minus an estimated 5% in service fees it seems... OH GOODY And ALL that's being suggested is I go along with this amazingly unlikely bit of fraud ... and likely the friendly would be thief on the other end is going to ask for a few "fees" to be paid up front before the $2,280,000 in funds are to be RETURNED my way! How typical... the email originates from the Czech Republic - or at least the web address is taken from a Czech email host - and the bank of African Developement is in a place google could not find : Auagadougou Burkinaasophone!

Frankly, this is hilarious! If not actually semi-serious. 1 in 10,000 people might actualy reply to this - and 1 in 100 of those might send money.

Here is a link to see several PISHING attempts at fraud REVEALED... http://www.security.wyzguys.net/11-1PhishingExamples.htm I've gone ahead and copies a couple images for your entertainment pleasure. Be careful out there....

and this one originates from the Czech Republic...

And another oppossum bites the dust.

Yup, that was him. However the turkey vultures found him the next day and well......

Just finished catching up. I am so jealous I wish we had a cruise booked. But we are going to have to wait till Spring 2011. We hope that there will be a PC Repo then if they move one of the old ships to the West Coast. I thought going thru the Canal was amazing and would be happy to do it again. We looked at the west bound transatlantic which was reasonable but the airline tickets to Barcelona make it impossible.

Still have to finish packing for our trip to WDW. It would be easier if the kids didn't leave their Florida clothes here. There are only two of us here but I am still packing for 6. Can't wait to hug the GK's again. It's been almost 2 months. The last time I saw then was the day before we left for LA. DD reported the other day that they were out on the front sidewalk playing airport. One of them stands there with their arms out and the other runs at full speed. It works better when it is me waiting at the end of the entrance to the main terminal in MCO with them running to me. I keep telling them they are getting too big to be picked up but I still continue to do it.

It's been so dry here the lawn is getting brown -- guess when it's a 70% chance of rain -- Friday when we are going to MNSSHP. Just finished convincing my 5 year old granddaughter that she can still go trick or treating at the party even if she doesn't wear her Cinderella costume. The 3 year old doesn't care what he wears -- he just wants candy and a lot of it.

OK better get back to the packing and the F&W brochure. Don't want to miss anything. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Barbara

Hi Barb!!
Don't know if you got all that rain the last few days. Should help with the grass.

Thanks for posting this Crash. So many calls regarding giving out Credit Card info with these emails. Remember, if you didn't initiate the call do not give any info to anyone regardless of who they tell you they represent. And if you do get an email from paypal or ebay, log onto your acct and don't click on any links!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all. Kaitlin's choir had their workshop today and she had to be there for 8:45 AM! On a Saturday---no.

Funny, we have a dead oppussom a house down from us! It's been there all day. The city probably won't pick it up till Monday.

Tina,
A nice young man, that I know, asked me if I would be willing to Judge for a Drama competition.... I said *Sure.* He signed me up to work from 7:30 am until about 6pm..... on a Saturday... Luckily it was at the local HS which is about a block from my house...
I did ask him who he hated me or dh? Since because I was gone Jon had to get up and have all 3 kids 30mins away by 9:30am. Samantha was working & the other 2 were doing hte art camp she was working at -- Jon doesn't usually get up much before 11am on a Saturday.....

 

[Downrivermama]

Hey Steph!

I only get the weekend, but Kaitlin didn't want to get up either, thus the bribe of McDonalds!

Wow! I'm having some major DCL withdrawl this weekend. Miss everyone!

Maybe it's something in the air.... I had to go look on Smugmug.....

 

[smeecanada]

Me, too! This having to cook is horrible. I would really like some risotto, a steak and some soft chocolate ice cream. Oh, and some of thosse little eclairs that were in the Cove Cafe. Yum!

I agree with all of you!!! Big time dpression setting in on me. I think it has something to also do with winter not far off!!

 

[micmse2003]

Happy Birthday Mary Ann!!!!​

It is really after 11:00 pm now!! You know I love you!!

 

[cruisin'Mike]

I did the same thing. Only the pictures made me miss everybody even more.

 

[tom31b]

Its particularly acute for those of us with nothing booked....

 

[cruisin'Mike]

One of my favorite Smugmug pictures is from the Banana Bus. It's pretty much just a picture of your leg around the stripper pole, but in the background, you can see Linda laughing her head off.

 

[smeecanada]

Its particularly acute for those of us with nothing booked....

Got some booked but they are not a sure thing by any means. We're in booked and wait and see how life unfolds mode.

Doesn't help the withdrawal by reading Becky's trip report (Senorita Gimpy and Crew Take on Disneyland and the Panama Canal). Great trip report & lots of really nice photos. I sure hope she posts some on the photo site.

Still have two more days of pics to upload to the photo site. Then, I go thru all of the ones that have been posted by Pirates.

Have great week everyone. Good luck, Monica, K, and Kimmy on the job search.

I know! I'm trying to get better about cooking. I make pork chops with stewed tomatoes and mashed potatoes yesterday. Went grocery shopping and got an urge for pork chops! It really is so much easier to go up on deck 9 and get something! Oh no, I have no deck 9!

I agree with all of you!!! Big time dpression setting in on me. I think it has something to also do with winter not far off!!

Diane and I have already diagnosed ourselves with SAD - Seasonal affective disorder! I love fall, but thinking about winter does nothing for me. And Kaitlin, well that kid is always bubbly, so she helps snap me out of it most of the time! She's looking forward to the s word! Rotten kid! We did get the air conditioner out of the living room window and Kaitlin got to decorate the porch for Halloween. I hear we are gonna have a good night Friday! Hate TOT when it's rainy!
