Will get well cards from fellow DIS'ers cheer her? If so, please PM the hospital info!

Sue, same thing from here. I'm sorry to hear this, and we'd be happy to send cards. But I can understand. Used to happen to DH's grandmother all the time. Keep holding out that cruise carrot!

Oh yeah, who was it who had a DD with a birthday on the ship? DD wanted to make a card for her.

I had a thought that really scared me. I mean, I'm still a bit concerned even though I realize it's not even possible that it could happen.

What if we all get together on the ship and.....oh, dread, I can hardly say it. ....um....what if we can only talk once every 60 seconds? ACK!! Wouldn't it be awful???? For example:

Stacey: Hi, Karen
Karen: Hey! How are you?
Stacey: ---opens mouth but words don't come out, looks panicked, checks the watch, taps her foot, rocks back and forth until finally.....she blurts out ----Fine, and you????
Karen: ---checking watch, turning red, looking uncomfortable, finally---I'm doing well, thank you!


ACK, does anyone know if "The Administrator" will be on this cruise???????????

I agree with Karen. I'll be happy to send cards of encouragement!

The Parent Trap (original and update)

I love both of these too.
My favorite line in the new one is "and now you're saying things like 'you gave me a FRIGHT?'"

I'm not even clicking the link! Like I need something else to take my time! Bad enough we picked up "Disney Mahjongg" at WDW last month and it is ADDICTING!

It's one of those ones that you rationalize by saying "one game only takes about 5 minutes....what's 5 minutes?" Then next thing you know you've played 10-5 minute games!

I agree Princess Bride is a good movie. I got the book for the kids, and neither one would read it. So I did, just to see what the problem was. WEIRD book! The basic story line is the same as the movie, but the book has a bunch of extra rambling, including 100 pages of how the guy got the movie made. Strange????

Yes, it is a strange writing. And to make it even more streange, read this:

I should have warned this is one of those 'first person shooter' type games. About as far from Disney Mahjongg as you can get.

Good Morning -
What happened to everyone last night? It didn't take me nearly as long as usual to catch up this morning. I have once again been able to access this site at school. How dare the Palm Beach County Schools decide this is an unacceptable site?!!!! Now if I could just figure out how to access my AOL email. Don't think I'll be able to get around that one.
Need to get DH and DS to the tailor for tux alterations. Waited until the last minute because DS grows taller every day and DH gave up smoking and was worried that he "would continue to grow". I'll start packing after Thanksgiving. Don't have the space to put the suitcases until after DD goes back to school after Turkey Day.

Here is my food list for today:

2 Twizzlers
2 Pepsi's
Slice of Pumpkin Pie & Cool Whip (I couldn't wait until Thanksgiving)
Nachos
4 Tootsie Roll Midgees

It doesn't seem like a lot of food!!

Let's see......

Pumpkin pie & cool whip....fruit, dairy

Nachos....(assuming you had cheese and salsa)....vegetables, fruit, dairy

4 Tootsie Roll Midgees...Hey! They're fat free! It says so on the package!

Sounds good to me.

My former boss (father to my current bosses). Is known by everyone here as the Grinch who stole Christmas...it's kind of a long story, but I can tell you if you want...

Ooops.....sorry....I got a little out of control there!!

 

[tkd lisa]

Mark, that's exactly what I though about the Morganstern angle. Whatever floats his boat. The movie was good though.

I went to bed.

have you tried checking your aol mail directly through the web? i believe it's just www.aol.com (or is that blocked too?)

Another option is to get something like www.mailblocks.com and it will go out and retrieve your aol mail. it's got a great spam killer on it! i've been using it for about 6 months and love it. then you just go to www.mailblocks.com and your aol mail (and any other mail you want it to pick up) will be there.

"A Night Out With The Girls"

The other night I was invited out for a night with the girls. I promised DH I would be home by midnight. Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down too easy.

Around 3AM a bit loaded, I headed home.

Just as I got in the door the Cuckoo Clock in the hall started up and cuckooed three times. Quickly, realizing that DH would wake up I cuckooed another nine times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick witted solution (even when totally smashed), in order to escape possible conflict with him.

The next morning my husband asked what time I got in and I told him midnight. He didn't seem angry at all. Whew, I got away with that one!!!

Then he said, "We need a new cuckoo clock". When I asked him why he replied, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times then said, Oh crap, cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

Now that's even better than my jokes.

I'm dying here....
That takes the all time "Funniest" award!!!

For a second there, I was afraid you were going to say that we wouldn't be able to think of anything to say to eachother!
And all along, all I have pictured is this group of cackling crows that can't stop!!!

I'm sorry, that is just too funny!!

Well, thank you! But please don't die. I hope you don't mind that I used you in my little example. You are, after all, THE chattiest girl on the thread and what a better way to honor that accomplishment!

Before I had kids (and had more time to be funny) Mike was actually encouraging me to try stand up. Even bought me a book about how to get started in a stand up career. I think it was mostly my self-depreciating wit that led him to believe I could do it.

I could just see me know....hauling two kids on the comedy club circuit, homeschooling them during the day and doing stand up at night.

I was thinking (scary, I know) last night....another favorite Christmas movie....and Lisa reminded me...
the original Miracle on 34th Street.

I bought the new game "Scene It" the Disney version yesterday, but I hid it in the closet. It will have to be a "weekend only" game.

Mark...Megan & Pete play some type of online game, but theirs is set in Medieval times. It's not that Dungeons and Dragons thing.....can't remember what it's called.
Megan came over last night to put her picture on their chat board. I guess the people who play decided to post pictures, so that they can see what eachother look like. Well, there's a novel idea! LOL

Heading in to the office early. Seems they just can't live without me.....sure.......

 

[justmestace]

You know....in real life, I am actually quite shy and very quiet.....
