I know what you mean when you ask for a quiet night. My friend is a volunteer firefighter and on his duty weeks all he asks for is a quiet night so he can sleep so he can go to his bill paying job on time.

David, I sent you a PM. Next time I will let you know I'm still researching, but I'm hoping it won't take me as long. Those were some tough questions.

Just popping in to give an update and give this thread a bump.

Had my meeting today and while I think the meeting will definately lead to a job offer I'm not sure its one I'll accept.
It is for a much smaller company than I'm used to and I've been spoiled by some really good benefits. So even though the job looks great short term (pay would be in the range I'm in now, vacation time would not be a problem, etc.) I'm not comfortable about long term (insurance benefits etc.).

This is the first time I've ever really looked for a job while I still had a job so I want to make sure its the right one.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers please that the right job and I find each other!

David said I could put the trivia questions in the newsletter - I think that will be a nice treat for those who don't read the thread all the time.

David I really love your questions and can't wait to see the next batch. When we are on the cruise you'll have to share with me where you come up with them. They led me on some wonderful searches!

Mary, I'm going tp try to mail out those pictures to you .I only have 6 not sure they will do anything but its a building to look for????? the sand was it !!! just so white it was the first time I had saw sand like that. I think there was a hotel in key west where the sand for the beach was imported that look about the same. A'm I just ratttaling on here?????????? okay still on my first cup this morning.

[WDWLVR]

Sounds great gaRry!

It's going to be cold here today and colder still tomorrow! Got to keep those warm cruise thoughts going!

 

[tkd lisa]

GaRry/Vicki: Man, a 7 day sounds great if you can get an awesome price! I know the kids would really enjoy the western ports!

Mary: Keeping up the prayers for a good job offer. Insurance/long term benefits is definitly important, so I can understand your hesitance.

lneely: Great idea for the family to join you on the cruise. We're taking my in-laws who will be in their late 70s, and our 11 year old son and 12 year old daughter. Sounds like there might be some common ages with your family here. We are on late seating, and in adjoining cat 10s on deck 2.

 

[jilljill]

gaRry, how was your night?!?

 

[wdwgoose]

Barb, it was very quiet and warm in my blakey, none of the stations had a run last night. I even stayed over til 10 for a guy and still NO calls GREAT !!!!!!!!! now I'm on 4 days off so let it snow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gaRry

 

[jilljill]

We aren't mean for not telling our kids - it's for our own sanity

 

[Dancind]

David, I don't think I deserve a pin for only getting one right, but thanks! I have more pins than I know what to do with. Will you be bringing pins to trade on the cruise?

Mary, hope the perfect job comes along soon. I know the stress of a bad job situation can really make you sick.

Hey, I want to go on another cruise! I'm not even sure I'm going to swing a week in WDW in August. I have always sold collectables on Ebay, in addition to my "real" job, to pay for our trips. Ebay has been awful lately, everyone wants to buy for nothing. Since I won't give my stuff away, that means no cash coming in. Sigh. I guess there's always credit cards. At least I have our cruise money socked away, though no wine, bingo, Shutters, excursion, and pin money yet! Diana

Yikes!!! It's been FOREVER since I have been here! You all have been busy...

I am trying to get back into the work-grind rythym after 10 wonderful days at WDW. Two weeks back in reality and I am finally starting to adjust...Sigh.

But now I can look forward to next December!!!!

Gail1771--We are early seating, and will have 4 in our party, including DDs who will be 5 and 8. Would love to sit with 'ya!

 

[gail1771]

Happy Wednesday evening everyone. We made the decision to use one of our timeshare weeks with Marriott for the week before the cruise in December as I really wanted a 2 bedroom for the kids. I would of taken a one bedroom but DD and DS would be fighting over where to sleep and it is not worth the stress before the cruise. I also wanted to save some spending money for the cruise which would of gone to staying at WDW. I am so excitied that I went onto Intervalworld.com to do an exchange for the cancelled week I had from not going this April break and they had a 3 bedroom at the Marriott Grand Vista near Sea World so I grabbed it. Everyone has there own bedroom. It is for Dec 12th to Dec 19th. We will probably only use a few days due to school and work but it only cost me the exchange fee and Insurance. Good deal for a total of $180.00. We will just rent a car for a few days and we will drop it off in Cocca Beach near the cruise port. We will also save on car service one way to the cruise port. We need to start saving for this cruise as soon as we get back in Feb. The kids really also want to do Sea World so this works out great for us. I would of considered after the cruise but they only had studio's with a limited kitchen plus we really arent into the crowds at that time.

Sorry GaRry we will not be staying at the Radission the night before we cruise. We will have to meet you all on the ship. It was such a good deal I could not pass it up.

Have a great night everyone. Fondly-Gail1771

[jilljill]

gaRry, you have high hopes for 1500 by tomorrow.
Also, I don't think you have lost your sanity for running into fires, it takes a lot for someone to do that and I have respect for those people.

Yes, I would like some wine. I had a VERY good wine tonight. Doubt I wll be able to find it anywhere else.

Gail, that's great about finding the Marriott before the cruise.

 

[WVMD]

1500?? Hmmm - I better be watching the boards a little closer. I was going to Snipe the 2000th post over on the 1/31 thread - and then got busy and missed it.... Probably better that way... They may not have understood....

Missed trying the trivia questions - was too busy trying to get some paperwork caught up - maybe next time.....

Have a great day today (Thursday)....

gaRy - watch out - I'll get the 1500th before you...... Just ask jilljill

Good morning everyone!

Here's my post to get to 1500 today!

Really, really cold in the Midwest - be careful everyone! Dreaming of days when it will get warmer. Dreaming even more of sailing on our 10 day cruise that will be filled not only with the warmth of the air, but the warmth of the wonderful people on this thread!

 

[tkd lisa]

Morning all! Here's my contribution to 1500! And I'd love to have more of our group join us in cruise chat! Unfortunately, I'll be hosting a sleepover for 6 darline little 11 year olds this Friday night, so I doubt I'll be in chat. They did want to watch POC, so maybe if they actually WATCH the movie, I might be able to chat. Have to see how that goes!

For those who don't chat, Alex (a moderator on the boards) gave me a shark avatar. We had been talking about the fact that I'm a 2nd degree black belt, and he decided I was the aggressive type, hence the shark!

As to Friday the 17th, I've got DH checking into our Hilton honors points. If it looks like we might have enough points for rooms, we'll probably stay somewhere that we can use those points. I'm not sure if radisson is in the Hilton family, but I don't think they are. If we don't have enough points, I think we'll priceline near MCO, since I've had good luck with that.

Looking at historic park hours for Dec, I'm planning on the last thing we do at WDW on the 17th being Fantasmic, which would put us back at the airport about 8:30 or so. I think driving to the port would just be a bit much after a full day in the parks. I'll do some laundry in the morning of the 18th (that way all the warm clothes can be clean, and just stay in our suitcases until the 28th!) and head out to port about 9 or 9:30, for arrival in line about 11 (WAYYYYY behind Vicki and GaRry!)

OBTW, assuming I can do it right, check out my new WISH clippie!

Happy Thursday all! Lisa
