Hi everybody!!!
Just checking in after a week of the whatever bug it was. Man was I wiped out. Too many posts to read so I'll just pick up from here.
We are getting anxious about the trip.
Started packing and Christmas shopping. Just decorated for Halloween today. Good thing though with the rain we had last week the decorations would be toast. Still looking for the formal clothes. Got the girls and DH taken care of.
Had our first parent teacher conference this week. OH JOY. We need to do some work.
Here's a question:
Can we pick up stuff like sandals and suits for the girls in Key West or Port Canaveral? Do any of you locals know somewhere that would not take us for all we have?
How about Key West for a little tree? Just wondering. Have to go weekend cleaning.
Cheers-D

Hi Denise....glad you're feeling better! I have no idea what you may be able to buy in Key West....will leave that to the "experts".
I've been busy all day, but it sure doesn't feel like I accomplished much, other than laundry.
Kids all went to a movie and then a haunted house, so I have the house to myself! Whoo hoo!
Organizing our gear, lining up the guys' tuxes, had to order Jared another pair of pants...special order 28" waist, 36" length.....holy cow.
Anyway....going to head to dinner in a little bit...then movies with friends.
If I don't check back in, everyone have a wonderful evening!!

I'd certainly like to meet everyone at some point. I think my kids would like to email other's kids as well....DD is 13 (14 on the trip!) and ds is 12.
I think I need a therapist!
I think that you've come to the right place....
Some of us have been obsesssing over this cruise for a year already - online, in person, however....
We figure that the DIS was an addiction, but a good one...
Even DW is getting excited.......

Wow, we've been looking forward to this cruise for sooo long. And now it's how many weeks? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I need more time .
This is a really busy time of year. All the shows DD gets involved in, family things are happening, MAJOR listing time for Ebay. I'm feeling stressed, my memory is worse than usual, OMG there is so much to do!
Just keep swimmin', swimmin', swimmin'...
I'll be calm once I get on the ship, right?

Denise - the best way to find out about shops in Key West, is to call Shirley at The Perfect Gift. Her and Norm are from Key West but they now live in Port Canaveral. If you send her a large manila envelope with postage paid she will send you all kinds of informtion about Key West. Including which shops to stay away from. Her number is 1-800-950-4559. BTW - if you don't already know she does great baskets that she will deliver to the ship for you. We get one from her everytime we cruise.
realtorlady - We have several possible meeting times. I think as we get closer we will re-post all meeting opportunities especially for the new cruisers. Maybe Mary can put the information into her last newletter. But here are some of the ones I can remember at the moment. Several of us are going to MVMCP on the 17th and we are going to try to have a mini meet there. We are also going to have a DIS meet at 3pm on Deck 10 above the Goofy pool on the terminal side on embarkation day. Several of us are also doing Palo Brunch on the last sea day (Dec 26th) at 10:30am. The tables we have reserved are full but if you would like to be in Palo at the same time I would make a reservation for that day and ask for a table near the Private Room. HTH.

ohiominnie - I know you can't say the name but did you watch the game between the two teams from that "state up there". It was an awesome game this afternoon. I was kind of hoping MSU would win but that other team pulled it out in triple OT. I was glued to my seat the whole time.

Okay, now I am going to take a few clues from Jenny and post a few jokes.
Here's the first one:
FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!!!
The Facts:
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it...don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?
Take a nap.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be
bad for you?
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO ..... Cocoa beans ... another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets and remember, life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming - WOOO!

And another:
Subject: surgeons
Five surgeons are discussing who has the best patients to operate on.
The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is
numbered."
The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."
The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than
you said it would."
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head
and the *** are interchangeable.
I love election years....
Remember to vote
Just don't tell DH I was making fun of surgeons.

And another:
Subject: Social security
After retiring, I went to the social security office to apply for
Social Security, the woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry but I seemed to have left my wallet at home. "I will have to go home and comeback later."
The woman says, "Unbutton your shirt." So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She says, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me" ! and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the social security office. She says, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too."

Here's another one:
Friendship Promise
Are you tired of all those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises (without those embedded stupid, "cutesy" graphics that take forever to download) that really speak of true friendship:
1. When you are sad -- I will help get you drunk and plot revenge
against the sorry *******(person) who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got laid.
4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I
get.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and tell you to quit whining.
6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ***(rear end).
This is my oath...I pledge it till the end. Why? You may ask: Because you are my friend!
Remember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. (Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.)
Edited to fix the words that got bleeped out.

This is another cute one but it is probably going to bleep out the last word. It's a four letter word for poop.
Subject: Kindergartners
A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO babytalk! You need to use "Big People" words she reminded them. She asked Chris what he done over the weekend? "I went to visit my Nana." "No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use "Big People" words!" She then asked Mitchell what he had done. "I took a ride on a choo-choo." "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use "Big People" words". She then asked little Alex what he had done? "I read a book," he replied. "That's wonderful!" the teacher said, "What book did you read?" Alex thought real hard, then puffed out his chest with great pride and said "Winnie the ****."

Can you tell I am really bored tonight?
Okay, this is the last one and it is a test. So I am going to do each question and answer on a different post so bear with me. Let me know how you did on the test. It's pretty funny.
The following short quiz consists of four (4) questions and will determine whether you are qualified to be designated a "Professional". (Not saying a professional "what" ..... just a "professional").
Scroll down for each answer and ...... No peeking!!!!
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put the giraffe inside and close the door.
This questions tests whether you tend to do simple things in a straightforward way or complicate them.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you answer, "Open the refrigerator, put the elephant inside and close the door?" Incorrect. The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, remove the giraffe, place the elephant in the refrigerator and close the door.
This tests your ability to think through the implications of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All of the animals except one attend. Which animal does not attend?
Correct answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him there.
This question tests your memory.

OK if you aren't doing well so far ..... you have one question remaining to redeem yourself.
4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you cross it?
Correct answer: You swim across. The crocodiles are all attending the Animal Meeting.
This question tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, about 90% of the professionals to whom they administered this test failed to answer one question correctly. Many pre-schoolers got several correct. Anderson concludes that this disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
