The fish's common name is algae eater, but it's 'fish' name is (I'm going to spell phonetically, maybe wrong) Plecostamus. He was HUGE too, was in a 45 gallon tank and took up a good deal of space there when he was full grown. He was about 12 inches or so long.

My brother as a couple of those that outgrew the tank and got transplanted to the outdoor pond and is doing fairly well. They do grow large if allowed.

Tango and Zip? Is that an airline?

(Sorry I am an idiot)

Linda

Yes...they are snappy little airlines which we have in Canada.

They are able to navigate around Igloos, Icebergs and Polar Bears.

Linda and Phil.......just kidding.

( I think Phil may a pilot on one of those Airlines )

They are subsidiaries of Air Canada.

Okay fellow pirates, see you soon walking the plank (onto the Magic, that is!)

Linda

Linda ....please help me with a pirate costume website.( if you know )

We wanted to buy a pirate costume for the kids right after Halloween and didn't get around to it.
Yesterday I looked all over the place for DD who is a size 14.
I couldn't find anything anywhere.

I did get something for DS.
Its my daughter who I am having trouble with.

Question: Does the kids club dress the children up on theme night?

My guess is no.

Thanks for any help.

So, that's what my children are. I've always wondered how they can eat so much and remain so thin - they're hobbits.

haha yeah i guess so. although they talk a lot in the books about hobbits being on the chunky side. they talk about how frodo gets thinner as he travels. maybe they've got super genes or something.

WE GOT OUR DOCS TODAY!!! i was just upstairs reading mine. whoohoo!

i have been listening to my jimmy buffett christmas cd for close to 2 weeks now. i love it! whoohoo!

 

[tinksdad]

Well, we have the "mule".

Eehawww, Eeehaaaww!

Long story short(sort of)..

We first found this group when we booked and our best friends and travel partners couldn't do it, it made the whole family really look forward to this cruise even though they wouldn't be with us. So thank you again for that. Then comes room panic and we slowly recover from that, but I just got a call from our friends.

He had just been to a funeral and saw all of the grandkids crying and realized life is too short sometimes, he then asked if they could still come along on the cruise. In shock I thought that it was way too late but we could try, and low and behold I just got him and his family a cat 10gty.

The rest of the family doesn't know yet but I think that they would sleep on the ping pong table if they had to to get there friends along.

I think I should warn Stacey though, Neil is going to be competion, he is a very outgoing Scot . I briefly told him about the group and he is looking forward to getting involved. :jumping4:

I think I just made my wife very happy

Thats great......another Canadian family I presume.

i was actually checking to see if my new suit i ordered for the cruise came. i opened the door and 2 boxes that were exactly the same fell. one addressed to me and one to my dad. i started shaking them and asking what someone ordered for me. my mom grabbed my box and was like i know what this is. i can see where it came from. i was confused why we had 2, but i guess my name is still under my grandfather's room. i was originally in his room, since my immediate family was on a wait list for a bigger room. now we've gotten it, but i guess my name is still on the other room. does that mean my castaway club presents will go to that room since my name is there?? (that was probably a stupid question...) now i hope i get my new suit soon! should be here any day. since it was sent out yesterday or something.

Try these two:

costumeshopper.com check out the "teen section"
or
cdockpirates.com

If either of these don't work, let me know and I'll give you some more.

Diana found a great site the other day, I'll ask her to post it!

 

[scuba.mom]

Here's a question for you Diversons experts - how smokey does it get in there. Sounds like a really great place, but I don't like being around a lot of smoke. Mark and I both come from smoking families so we can tolerate some, but hate being in a room that is overrun with smoke.

I asked the "Diversions" expert (ScubaMatt) about the smoke issue. He said the area is a non-smoking area until 9pm when it becomes an adult club.

It's snowed all day today... we had alot of snow in October, then it turned really mild until today. It's -20. BRRR! 10 more days til we leave... How about for you?

Its about +10 degrees today.
It has been extremely mild so far this winter ( is it winter yet )
Snow has only stuck around on the ground for a few days.

Its cold enough here, for me to really enjoy myself in the Carribean.
Hope it will be stinkin' hot with lots of sunshine.

Ohiominnie - Wow you are good - what a Post!!

Well I got a HUGE Scare today!

When I called Disney this morning to see if I could pick up on the Pirate excus that was listed on the boards - the TA that took my call said - Gee your reservations has been canceled................ I know I don't need to tell anyone on these boards how I felt............I was ready to bust into tears! So she continued checking and told me yes - it had been canceled!

So I calmed my self down - collected my thoughts - and asked her to repeat the spelling of my name on this reservation - well low and behold - my name was spelled Wrong! This had happened when I first booked this cruise and recieved my confirmation I had called Costco Travel to let them know that I spell my name with an "e" on the end, not an "a" as listed on the confirmation. so they had never taken it out of the computer. She looked up Therese - and there we were - after all of that the tour was sold out! I also asked about an upgrade to Cat 3 and she told me we are still wait listed and they will call us.

So that was my morning - and I was too upset and shaken to post it this morning - now I am home with a "nice glass of wine" relaxing and tell fill you in on my story!

What a nightmare...........
