A Top?

 

[seaulater]

500-600 pictures in 30 minutes? Isn't that called "video?"

It's pretty funny actually cuz it has that "sport's mode" button and you just hold that sucker down and ta-da that's how I get so many pictures.

You ought to see the pictures I took from the rollercoaster at DCA. I've got like six pictures of Robert and Jamie from the time they enter the loop to go upside down until they finish. The looks on their faces are priceless!

Just ordered all my wine from my favorite wine store here in NYC -

Sherry-Lehman

they are shipping it to Shirley at Perfect Gift

She is bringing it aboard for us

Ta - Dah !!! One less thing to carry on the plane with us!

OH OH........YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU STARTED!!!!

Poor Shirley, she won't know what hit her!!

 

[tinksdad]

Confessions, huh?

You want the long list or the short list?

You want my list, or "Lisa's" list????

I want hear Lisa's List!!

 

[Dancind]

Cute pic, Diana!!

Kids saw the pic and wanted to know what it was. I said it was your daughter, she probably had just been diving. And KT piped up "at Castaway Cay, because that is Cookie's!!!"

My kids know their DCL!!

Smart kids, they know their DCL! Or should I say "ding, ding, ding!"

Very nice, David! I think we are getting that service, too, via the Scuba family.

Actually this is a serious confession here. I've held off posting it, but I've made a decision I'm not going to the wine party and wanted to explain why. My DH is an alcoholic. So that's why we're not sitting with the late group. Thinking more about the wine party, I decided that it would be better for me not to go to the wine party, since he wouldn't be comfortable there either.

Whew, glad that's over!

That is probably a good decision. There are lots of other get togethers and we certainly understand.

That's pretty clever. Will she do anything with it? Or just take it, as is, and bring it aboard?

Well - if it was me... I'd sample them - just to make sure that they were ok... I mean - why carry bad wine on board.....????

[djs113]

she is going to try and make the case of wine the base, and build up from there with sand toys and other stuff for the kids

kinda like the gift for all - beach toys for the kids, and liquid toys for the adults!!

Any word from Gus yet today???

Confessions, well there are many I could tell that I dont want to tell. But I do have one I guess I could say is I drove my cousins car when I was 14, doesnt matter now reallyl since I can drive legally now anyways, Thats my confessions. Almost getting ready for the single digit dance. Anything important go on while I was at school on our thread here.

Matt, I thought you were 15. Maybe I'm confusing you with another teen on this thread. What's the legal driving age down there? Gosh, they keep letting younger and younger kids drive.

KT wants to drive when she's 16, but quite honestly, I don't think she'll reach the pedals then!!

 

[scuba diver]

Just remind him to take enough allowance for the extra tip!

He is going to be sitting at your table, right?

 

[Dancind]

He is going to be sitting at your table, right?

Yes, I think it will start out that way.

Hi Everyone - we made another trip to the emergency room with DD... She is now all fixed up, and is not allowed to get sick again for at least another year. They ran all kinds of tests and ran some antibiotics through an IV drip and all of a sudden, she started feeling better. They thought she had a bladder infection but turns out that's okay, too... The Dr said that she will be 110 percent by Friday (that's when we leave) ...

Lisa - (not the evil twin) - I sent you a pm.

I love the idea of an ornament exchange as long as it's not a homemade ornament. If it was, no one would ever want to put it on their tree.

Gus - I hope all went well today!!!

DH is feeling guilty that he hasn't had a chance to get to know all of you on the Boards so he says AAARRRRGGGHHH Maties and he's looking forward to seeing everyone a week from Saturday.

Later,
Ann

OR...maybe I could get them to try new things the same way I get the dog to take pills. Hide it in a chunk of hot dog and smear it with peanut butter!

I wonder how shrimp tastes wrapped in hot dog and smeared in peanut butter. Scubas, you are gourmet kinds of people...how would that be? Of course, I could add some of that brown mushroom gravy stuff you were talking about to really make it fancy!

IMPORTANT....IMPORTANT (I have not been playing with all the fonts and colors so this message would all be in red)

Don't force it or even encourage your kids eating the good food!!!!!

Haven't anyone of you notice the problem I created by encouraging my kids to eat the good food. Haven't you been paying attention to what I have been posting?

STOP NOW!! For you own sakes. Keep the good stuff for yourselves. DW and I have to fight for our good food. DS and DD want it.

I only wish I could go back to the days of DS being happy with a hot dog!!

Do yourself a favor and encourage Mac & Cheese, chicken fingers. If I did that I would not have to share my Chilean Sea Bass or Group St. Jacques tonight.

 

[scuba diver]

Will that work? We have been on 4 cruises and haven't done many excursions. Would port days be good (or would ppl be going off in all directions) or would sea days be better (when ppl have character breakfasts and all that?)

That's why I was thinking 4:30-ish on pirate night (St. Maarten)

??????

You are talking about 4:30 AM, right?

Yep, I am 15. Actually 15 1/2. lol doesnt matter. Mississippi you have to be 15 to get permit and have to hold permit 6 months to get junior license. I didnt get my permit until october so I will get my junior license in april. My dad is buying us a 3rd car after christmas and it will be mine to drive! YAY Of course technically its his but they never said I would get a car so it will be nice having a 3rd car to be able to drive to school and stuff. I cant wait!
