20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 4

OK, who'd going to be opening their local Post Office in the morning?!?!?

>>Mickey Mouse, his dog Pluto, Snow White and other characters featured in popular Walt Disney films adorn a set of four postage stamps issued Thursday by the U.S. Postal Service.


The 37-cent "Art of Disney: Celebration" stamps were being issued in ceremonies in Anaheim, Calif. They go on sale nationwide on Friday.



It's the second set of Disney cartoon characters to be featured on postage stamps and follows stamps displaying other cartoons in recent years.



The four stamps show Mickey Mouse and Pluto enjoying a cake, Alice and the Mad Hatter at tea, Ariel and Flounder having fun with music and Snow White and Dopey dancing.



The post office said its relationship with Disney began in 1933 when Mickey Mouse played a mail pilot in a cartoon. Walt Disney himself was the subject of a stamp in 1968.



The stamps will be sold in sheets of 20 and the characters will also be featured on a series of 23-cent stamped postal cards.<<

Hang in there you guys on the injured list. Do what the Doc’s say and get better.

I have really been enjoying all the pictures, very good stuff to keep the memories alive. Great memories they are.

Tom and Diana, those are great deals on framing.

Lynn has been working too much, two 14 hr days in a row.

Hey Scott and other stargazers,

Are any of you going to watch the big clash between the space iceberg and the probe on the 4th? I don't know if it will be visible with the naked eye, but I read about it here today and it sounded interesting...

Thanks so much, Debbie. Very sweet of you. TODAY is a much better day. I felt so much better when I woke up. But it still rained. LOL


Thanks to Georgie, I ordered TOO MUCH from DealsatDisney site. There are some good deals there, really. And to boot, 20% more with the code she gave us.

THANKS AGAIN

Renae:

We changed our resort for next week. They put us at All Star Music. That's OK with us, it is a cute place.

I'll call you when we get back from the ship on 7/10. Hopefully we can meet up somewhere again. I'll try and get you an AC pin (if there are any) LOL - Dare I try and get one this time?? It might be easier than when we tried in May. I'll be prepared for another "sleep over".

Funny you are talking about stargazers. About 2 years ago I bought DH an awesome telescope. Big thing - Can't fully describe it, but it cost $650 with so many gadgets to it, it wasn't funny. On a stand about 5 foot in length. It sits in one of the sheds and never been used to its full extent. It has computer hook ups and all.

Crazy things we buy for our loved ones and never use - Ugh!!!!

 

[Scott H]

Lynda, you might think about early Nov and catch the end of the wine and food festival, it is not very crowded then either, but the first 2 weeks of Dec are usually really mello, one of our favorite times.

We did enjoy the barbeque in SLC, and Linda did give me alot of good ideas on scrapbooking.

yes, this is the end of my second 14 hour day in a row, but I only have to work 3 days this week, Wed-Fri.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

Just wanted to wish my fellow Canadians (hi Sharon & Jean-Marc ) and all our honorary Canadians, a Happy Canada Day!!!!

I found out last night just how much I the internet. Our internet service provider was experiencing "technical difficulties" which preveneted anyone from getting on the internet or accessing your email. I was about ready to do this to my computer and of course you couldn't get through to the internet people to complain because they took the phone off the hook (probably tired of being yelled at). I missed all you guys yesterday.

Congratulations to Debbie for post 15,000 on page 1,000. You chose a great picture for that milestone!!!!!

In the latest Oprah magazine, Dr. Phil's column is about taking time for yourself so you don't burn out so I told my Mom this is a "me" weekend and I'm going to scrapbook all weekend long...yippee...I hope to get lots of pages done...I have to catch up to Leslie...the scrapbook fiend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember how we used to post how many posts everyone had??? Well... with so many scarppers, maybe we should keep a total on the number of pages scrapped!

HAVE FUN!!!


Yes, Yes, Yes, I am signing off the computer since I am home and trying to heal up while typing everything with my left hand! What a pain!!!

Hi Lynn!

Don't get burned out! I really dont know how everyone does itwith the longer shifts.

Enjoy the weekend!

 

[auntrenae]

Kay,

I'm glad you're feeling better. You don't need to get me a pin, it's not important enough for you to sleep on the floor! OUCH!

I've given up on getting expensive toys that Eric doesn't use, now I just get him computer stuff or cruises... I know he'll love those!

Have a great cruise, and eat some hot chocolate souffle' for me!

I forgot last night, (imagine that), that I was going to respond to the John Walton (Wal Mart) question, yes, his ultra-light plane crashed just north of our airport. That actually put it into Grand Teton National Park, but we did get the original call of the crash in our dispatch office. His funeral was yesterday in town.

Today, I have only my normal 10 hour shift, and it is really my Friday. I have the weekend off, but have to work on Monday (an overtime shift). We are back to teaching Scuba classes, so this weekend will be spent gearing up for that. We might get out camping next weekend.

Happy Canada Day!!!

Nice to see you here, Lynn!!! Enjoy your weekend, I know those come few and far between for you! Tell what's-his-name, Hi, too!!!

Hello all,
Real life has gotten the better of me- and has limited my time on the boards. I have been peeking at times (AKA lurking) but not posting. Hopefully that will all change. I have missed my online friends.

Thank you for those of you who have PMed me making sure I was alive.
Here are some answers to questions I have received:

Yes I am still in school. I spent all of last weekend in Chicago, doing a compression class. 23 hours of class over 3 days- man did my rear end hurt. (I also had back spasms- good thing I don't have a desk job) This quarter I am not studying death rates or Alaska- lucky for you. This quater I will be looking at legislation, the nursing shortage, and the role of the advance practice nurse. Believe it or not- I actually like learning about this stuff.

I will be starting the new job- aka the neurosurgical intensive care unit job on July 18th. I am excited and scared- I don't know how I will feel seeing someone alive- with their brain exposed. I'll let you know. However, I am ready for the challenge and look forward to learning many new things.

I have yet to scrapbook anything from the cruise- despite having adequate supplies but not adequate time. Maybe mid-July?


I have loved looking at everyone pictures. It is great to see the same vacation, for a different perspective. I hope to order prints from many different collections either this weekend or early next week. On that topic, I have a question regarding the mouseplanet site....

I have created a login- but it never lets me login. I can see a bunch of pictures that are under Tony's name. Is that the collection of everyones photos or just tony's? Maybe I need a new login?

HELP!




OFF TOPIC-

On a different topic- in the time that it has taken me to type this note (roughly 3 minutes) over 60 people have died of poverty. Every 3 seconds someone dies of poverty- usually children. I would ask that our community looks at the http:www.one.org site. Please ask your government officials to follow through on the Millenium Goals previously set to reduce poverty in half - which will be reviewed at the upcoming G8 conference. This would be the Americans, Canadians, and British- with other member nations. The web site is NOT asking for your money.


Enough of that- just something I feel strongly about and wanted my DIS friends to know about.

good morning to all. got a doctor's appt at 10:30. hope to find out what's wrong... hope he doesn't say old age!

came across a deal on disney logo t-shirts at disney direct... kids are 3.99, adults are 5.99. with the discount code REDWHITEBLUE you get another 20% off. i can't make transfer t-shirts for that price!

so... if anyone's planning a trip to see the mouse and want the family to look alike for a photo with mickey... you can't beat these prices. they still had a good color + size selection.

happy day! hey debbie... congrats on getting the milestone post... great picture to celebrate it too!

THANKS GEORGIE......................

You set me back another $100+. But the good news is I got some Christmas shopping done for Robert's grandkids. Just think, I won't be running around in December buying pajamas!

Looks like poor GEORGIE is being blamed for a lot of our spending this week



Just think what we're going to do to her when she feels better.

My photos are publically visible, but to be able to see anyone else's photo albums you have to create an account (so that I can keep the riff raff out). If you are having trouble with your account, PM me and I'll see what I can do for you.

On another note, we are just about finished setting up the new store. It's been a long week of 16 hours days, but with the holiday weekend on us, business should be good. We are hoping to open this afternoon, and once we do, I'll get some pictures posted here.
