Hi,
I just read the post by Nikki about using snapfish for digital photo printing. Nikki, do you know if they put spybots on your computer if you use them? I'm new at this digital stuff, and haven't used one of these services yet. I'd like to, but there are a lot of spybots getting on my computer from programs I've downloaded and my DH is worried that if I use one of these, that will happen again. Any info anyone? What services do you use and what do you like/dislike about them?

Nikki, again, please tell Glenn that we are praying for him and sending him pixie dust. Burns are an awful thing to have to deal with.

Wasn't me, Renae. Gary originally posted it.

Dean

p.s. Annie is with Randy and my wife is Cheri. No, I haven't heard anything from Karyn.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Renae, how did you get the pictures? I posted a link a couple of pages ago but didn't e-mail any.

I like the new avatatr, Dean! Does this mean you're mainly a lurker now?

HADD!!!

Renae, you don't have to download a thing with snapfish, you can upload directly from your CD or hard disk - you CAN download a free program if you want, to make downloading from your digital camera that much easier, but you're not required to at all. No spyware. I have a sniffer, and check often.

If you promise NOT to laugh at my hair in these photos (why are there no good ones of me! *sob*), you can see the album here: http://www.snapfish.com/share/p=762201077288519542/l=23911213/cobrandOid=1000131

(There are some of Gary, Randy, Annie, etc in there too....)

It lets you run a slide show, edit the photos by cropping, adjusting color and brightness, red eye, etc, adding "artistic" touches such as borders or fun filters, and people who visit can order prints too (which makes it great for extended family)

Hi Monique-

thanks for the great pictures!!! We didn't make it to the midnight dessert buffet, so it was nice to see those! We just couldn't do it ALL like I had wanted to do.

We think we were on the same Fury Catmaran ride with you. We think that we recognize your kids and I think I see my son Bobby in one of your pictures!

Thanks for sharing!

LOL! You're more than welcome, bonus points for not laughing at that photo of me "apres-catamaran"...

Cyberkashi (Jami & family) was on that excursion too! Weren't they absolutely great? What a crew!! We have to process our underwater camera, but we got a couple of fun photos from the photographer on board!

Sorry we missed each other on there!!

Nikki,

The pictures were great. Judi and I just looked at them. Now she wants to know if we can go back next week.

Hope Glenn's starting to feel a bit better. I know it will take a long time.

 

[The4OfUs]

Thanks you guys!

Glenn is on the mend, it was pretty terrible 2 days ago, but by today the limp is very slight. Burns are so messy and painful as they heal - he's burned himself before but never to this extent, the whole right shin, both ankles, the tops of both feet - but it's not slowing him down in the least. EXCEPT when our little Silky Terrier decides to welcome him home by jumping on his legs! *wince*

Now we need an update from Janice! <--- "my worried about our friend face"

 

[shingle]

hi everyone the shingles are back home in wales safe and well. sorry about all the bugs and colds etc going around, hope everyone is ok and not to miserable now your all back home. randy and annie did you enjoy week 2 and did annie get to parasail.

Nikki - I loved those pictures. We also didn't make the buffet and it was great seeing those. I was thinking I'd be ok with waiting until Dec/2005 for another cruise. Seeing those pics changed my mind!

Renae - I don't think I even had the chance to meet you let alone talk and talk and talk like we said we would. I'm really disappointed about that. I'm glad to hear that having a reunion on the ship worked out. I've been spouting this to my DH's family for years but no one else seems to think it's a good idea. I'll keep pushing it. Glad you are home safely and had a great trip.

Welcome home shingles! I'd like to know if Annie went up into the air as well. I'm looking for some inspiration for the next time I'm at CC. I'd heard that the incentives for rebooking were very attractive for overseas families. Did you rebook for another time?

Juli

 

[shingle]

hi juli we have not rebooked but it was tempting for the price was very good because the brittish pound is very srong at the moment. we will cruise with disney again once they have new ports of call, we hope to take a med cruise in august which goes to Italy greece and spain.

 

[auntrenae]

Dean, Sorry about that, I know Cheri is your wife, I don't know where my mind is... maybe back at CC!!!
Gary, I got the picture off the link. I'd love to get a copy of it though.
thanks, Renae

 

[auntrenae]

Nikki,
Thanks for giving me that link! Your slide show is great and since you have promised in advance not to laugh at mine.... I didn't laugh at yours. You have some great shots there! I'll get set up soon and post the link for you. BTW, My DFIL and DBIL are in the shot of yours of the line of contestants at the talent show. Delos and Dave Hale in the middle in case you needed names for your book. thanks again,
Renae

 

[auntrenae]

Juli,
I felt bad about missing you too. We'll just have to talk online or via email. Since moving to Fl. 2 years ago, talk is how I communicate with most everyone I know. All of my family are out west and so are friends from before. There are new ones here, of course, but we still keep in touch with old ones. Thank heaven for the web!
My DFIL wanted to go parasailing at CC too, but they said it was too windy. He REALLY wanted to, but it was a no go. Oh well, now he will have a reason to go again!
Renae

 

[dheller97]

Renae, I will drop a copy in the mail to you in the morning.

Was in the upper 40's here today - can see spring off in the distance!

Take care!
Dean

 

[The4OfUs]

Wow, Dean and Cheri, what a GREAT photo!!!

Renae, those funny guys were with you? How cool! My son thought they were "wicked funny". *grin* (That's Bostonian for "awesome"....)

 

[Annie12345]

Hello everyone.... we're finally back!!! We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed both weeks on the Magic...Before I forget, YES, i went parasailing and I loved it... you probably remember how I was very confident and calm, cool and collected the whole time we talked about parasailing (yah right!) but I have to say, it was over too soon, and I would do it again in a heartbeat... it was amazing!!!

We had a very relaxing second week on board (you guys wore us out the first week). Of course we missed all of you and hope to cruise with you again in the future!!

I'd have to say it's a tie over whether or not we like the Eastern or Western itinerary... they are both great in different ways and it's a toss up for us... we did rebook on board for the 10-day Christmas cruise as well as for the Feb. 12th western (we were looking at dates to coincide with Jaclyn's school break rather than a particular itinerary) ...

I've got mega unpacking to do so will post more later... glad to hear everyone made it home safe and sound... we missed all the cold weather and mountains of snow that fell upon our fair city - it's been warm for a few days and melting - we planned that right, eh!

 

[The4OfUs]

Yay! Welcome home you guys, we missed you!! Check out my photos, there's some good pics of you two, and I love the one of Kelsey and Jaclyn, it's now on my digital photo frame.

Where did you stay in your apres-cruise visit to WDW?

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Dean, the link to Mr. Speedo with the Mickey on his head (I'm not confirming or denying it's me) doesn't work anymore. I wanted to show the picture to Randy and Ann. Can you or Matt e-mail it to me or fix the link? I would appreciate it cause I forgot to download it!

The door magnets you made for us are proudly displayed on our refrigerator now. It's a great reminder of our wonderful cruise!

HADD!!!

P.S. I found out last night that our Disney Store is closing next month (March)!!!
Is anyone else losing their Disney Store?
