No guessing as in no guessing? Or no guessing as in no guessing the WRONG place?
I know where Bear is!! COOL!
I also know where Mary's arm is in this picture!!

That's MARK's arm!!

 

[justmestace]

Take a better look -that is NOT Mary's arm there.

Oops....see, I told you so! Unless Mary needs to wax!

 

[justmestace]

Love that show! Makes my life seem so normal!

I thought of a confession! I spend so much time at the computer every day, clicking away, that I think I'm developing carpal tunnel in my right hand/arm. See, I need a vacation.

I'm sure someone has answered this by now, I was eating dinner. (fogive me!) Yes, you are in the late seating group. You get to sing loudly and off key.

WARNING: I am very very good at this, esp the off key part....LOL Can't wait for karaoke night....

 

[Cruisin'goose]

No - that would be garRy.... He did that a very long time ago.....

Virgil
TFD

gaRry won't take the credit for that he says it was me, and he is right. I had typed the list for him and didn't do my spell check very well. Sorry again Virgil.

Confession: Hello, my name is Leslie and I'm a pin addict.

 

[DVC4US]

Yikes! 15???!?! That just seems so young for most teens. I know, some are mature enough to handle it....but many aren't! Wow!

OM - mine is actually driving at 15 also. In Iowa you can get a learner's permit at age 14. And then after you have taken driver's ed you can apply for a home to school permit. DD has one of these. She can driver herself to and from school, to all sports practices, and to all school activities. It is a scary thought that they are out there at 15 but it sure is a big help. We wanted to put a little metal around her so she drives a Linclon Aviator. My biggest concern now if the first day we have ice on the road.

 

[ohiominnie]

That's MARK's arm!!

I KNOW THAT NOW!

What movie is that from?

 

[MarkRG]

OOkay the fire is STILL going, they're going to call GarRy soon!

They say right now they have 30% of the Chicago Fire Department committed.

Man, it is shooting flames out the windows now higher than the next floor! Actually, they're saying it has moved up a floor.

Now this fire has been going for three hours plus.

Okay, I am sure this has been posted somewhere on this thread before but I have to ask again...

Do you plan on giving your CM's (Stateroom attendant, Server, Assistant Server, Head Server) Christmas gifts during the cruise??? If so, please share some of those great ideas!!!

YEAH - MY FIRST TOP!!!

 

[justmestace]

Holy Cow! I did it!Finally got done reading all those pages, and again, I know someone asked me something.......???.......


I was thinking about the b-day singing.....and the early diners being at their show.....but I've done all the thinking I'm going to do for one day...so I'll let you all figure that out. I will be there, singing off key too.....

LESLIE......We definitely have you & Joe captive for late seating with us!!!
So sorry about Jessie....been there. It's so hard.

 

[Cruisin'goose]

Leslie...any ornament....from your area, homemade, disney, whatever you've got or can get with such short notice.
i think so far we have it narrowed down to st. maarten night (pirate night) at 4:45 in the promenade lounge. it'll be one of those things where person #1 picks an ornament and person #2 can either pick a new one or steal person #1's...and so on. thought it was fitting with pirate night and all!

I haven't found the instructions regarding the ornament exchange - $$, per person do we need to sign up or just show up? Who's in charge??

 

[WDWLVR]

I actually think I'm going to step away. I've got to tuck the kids in and then, seriously, I REALLY need to get something done or I won't be cruising with all of you! That would make me sadder than missing 21,000.

I'm going to bed - need to get up early tomorrow - lots to do at work and I have a dentist appointment at 4pm.

Have a good evening.

I plan on giving them phone cards... that was a suggestion a while back and I thought it was a good one... something they can always use even if they get duplicates. got em at Sam's club in a multi-pack. Figure I'll put them in one of those little tiny stockings along with a candy cane or something. ANOTHER thing I plan on doing and haven't yet done... aaaarrrrggghhh! I've GOT to get motivated!!!

 

[tinksdad]

Now I'm REALLY confused. I thought HH was of the boy persuasion.

This happened just recently at my dad's. They have a new kitten who was a female....until they took it into the vet. Now it's a male. That's unlike my dad to make THAT mistake!!

Let splain it this way... That was about my loving, beautiful and talented DW!! The one who works in her jammies!!

 

[tinksdad]

You see...I was working on this dining thing.....

And we are ALL VERY gratefull!!

Great! Can't wait to meet you all... do we know what the dining rotation is by any chance?
Thanks to all for the PM's etc regarding Jessie... you can't know how I appreciate the support.

Gotta get to bed too...early day tomorrow and I've GOT to get some lists made and at least start to gather the clothes.... I know they say 2 bags per person but can you get away with more???

We usually give Wal-Mart gift cards as an extra in the tip envelopes, but this year I am going to give them out for Christmas. I usually get a few in $10 increments and give one or two to each person.

 

[DVC4US]

I have read through so many pages tonight so I am sure I am going to forget something but here goes.

We are in for the ornament exchange. (At least I am. )

Jeri - sorry to hear about the break-in. Thank goodness they didn't get into the house.

Leslie - so sorry to hear about the problems with Jessie. We are thinking about you.

Linda - sorry to hear about your friend's son. It is scary to think it can happen so fast. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers.
