Thanks for the encouragement Mary --- I'm okay with heights as long as I'm secured/contained, never really liked the thought of flapping in the breeze! Hopefully Andrea won't back out --- one of her friends did it this summer and really loved it, I think that's why she wants to try it.

Forgot to ask when I was making the reservation for Parasailing --- can we go up together???

Also, does anyone know if they are able to burn your digital pics on to CD at Shutters and how much it is?

:hyper:
 
:wave: Hi all! :wave: Just doing my part in the quest for 12,000. Not much going on here. It was COLD this morning and dark. I can't wait to change the clocks.
 
I thought I'd post another one. This one is for all the guys and the golfers out there.

DISCLAIMER: be sure to swallow (or spit out safely) what ever is in you mouth before continuing. The management takes no responsibility for damage caused by the following humor.

Here it is:

Sexy Nightie

One day a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy nightie.

"Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want."

So, he tied her up and went golfing.

:crazy:
 

So we're on a quest today? Cool beans! You go, GarRy!

My daughter's school had two trips available for Spring break. One to Washington D.C. and New York (briefly considered that one), and one to the UK. No way, I haven't even been there!

She gets to go to the Caribbean instead, not a bad trade-off if you ask me.
 
Ok. I have another one. This one is for parents of teen and pre-teen girls and teachers/educators.

**See previous disclaimers**

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine but, after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers, and then there are educators.

:p :love1: puckerup:
 
One more and them I'm done with the jokes for today (maybe - if you're lucky).

Remember the disclaimer...:rolleyes:

This explains it all...

On the first day God created the dog.
God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said, "that's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So God agreed.

On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span."

The monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed.

On the third day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."

The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty." And God agreed again.

On the forth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years." Man said, "What?" Only twenty years! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.
::yes::
 
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: That was a good one. Thanks for starting the day out right for me.
Cheers, -Denise
 
Jenny - Love the jokes! Thank you for some great laughs this morning!!

Oh gaRry...........how many posts now???












pirate: lurking.................
 
I have more, but I'll save them for another time. The real thanks goes to my Mom - she's the one that sends them to me.
 
Jenny, where've you been? These are great! You should have your own thread on the Community Board.

I guess "cool beans" falls into the category of things I've always wanted to say. Just seemed appropriate. I don't remember where I heard it, sorry.
 
Jenny those are great! I really like that!

Okay, now that it's just my immediate family, I'm completely re-thinking our plans for excursions. With the in-laws, I was thinking about things they would enjoy and that wouldn't be too strenuous. Plus the cost of 6 people for everything. Now that it's just us, I'm totally redoing my plans. For one thing, since my family has already done the train in Key West, we won't repeat it. That was primarily for the in-laws. And since we'll have just been at WDW, I think we'll just take that as a relaxing day. Probably poke around the main drag, have to try a key lime pie, etc.

I'm in the middle of researching the other ports activities now. I'll probably stick with our plans for St. Thomas since I know the things there will be limited due to Christmas.

In St. Lucia, that Tropical Waterfall trip looks pretty interesting. The only thing that is holding me back is the 80 minute bus ride each way. I didn't know you could go anywhere that was 80 minutes away on a small island? So I'm going to check into more particulars on that! I think DD would probably like a horseback excursion, so I'll look into that some more as well.

I also just finished arranging all my rental cars. We did have a minivan booked for our Florida section since we needed room for 6. By changing to a full sized car, we saved almost $70! I've also got our return from the port to the Tampa airport (had to go to Tampa because all the Orlando Frequent flier options were long gone!), and I booked rental cars to and from our airport here. I was able to get cars both ways for about $100. I figure long term parking would be $10 a day at the airport, and we'll be gone for 14 days so it's cheaper to deal with a rental, plus our van will be nice and dry in our garage!

I haven't heard back on the BWV rental extension for the 17th. I actually got cold feet yesterday. The Friday night rate is 21 points, which translates to $210. I called Disney and booked a Pop Century room at the AAA rate for about $60. I got home and told DH what I'd done. He said "You really want to move all our stuff for one night just to save $140? Let's just stay at the BWV." Man, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I figured he'd jump at the savings! So now I'm waiting to see if our DVC person can get the 17th before I cancel the Pop Century room.

This trip planning stuff is getting way too hard! But it will be worth it! I hope I hope I hope!!
