2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 6

Walker, Great job!!! I love it!

 

[Stitch#1]

Okay - let's try this:

Hey, Stacy? Know that bit of video that Curt told you he had found? What's it worth to you to keep that underwraps? Maybe a trip to Chicago in early December? If not, I'm sure that DCL would love to use it in their next promotional DVD...

Wow are you guys that desperate to get me to Chicago you would resort to BLACKMAIL!!!????

 

[alikat99]

Wow are you guys that desperate to get me to Chicago you would resort to BLACKMAIL!!!????

Don't they say use what works??? So, does blackmail work for you???

 

[Diana Lyn]

Wow are you guys that desperate to get me to Chicago you would resort to BLACKMAIL!!!????

We do what it takes to get the job done.

And I talked to her on the phone like a half hour ago and was still to sleepy to remember to mention Chicago!!

 

[cgcw]

I got mine today, so you should get yours very soon. I've never used anything like that because--and this is dumb--we don't have an outlet in our downstairs bathroom. The people who built the house were morons apparently. The lightswitch is even on the outside of the room. So where am I going to plug this sucker in? We do have 2 other bathrooms, but this is the bathroom that I brush my teeth in.

Hey, do you have a Campanelli home? The builder who built our homes in this area was from the East Coast and that was a building code out there to not have any electrical outlets in the bathrooms and the switches have to be on the outside. We've since had ours changed but isn't that the weirdest thing? I remember people coming over and trying to use the bathroom and not being able to figure out how to turn on the light.


I just signed up for the BzzAgent. I'll give it a try! Thanks.

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! Stacy - we really want you and Diana to come to Chicago! You'll have a great time! Hey if blackmail works.

 

[socks68]

Seriously, no one else on this thread is a BzzAgent?? I learned about it here on the DIS Budget Board. I got a Sonicare toothbrush to try in the mail today. I looked online at the price $89.99.

Delurking again: I am. I didn't get in on the coffee but am waiting for the toothbrush. I have the nicorette gum sitting at work but no one will try it.

We had a great time on the cruise. I didn't spend much time with you betwen the people I was travelling with and spraining my ankle within hours of getting on the ship. But it was nice to run into some of you so often.

 

[cgcw]

You talked to Stacy at 6 a.m.?? And, I was leary to call you the night you dropped out of chat and we thought you were laying on your keyboard for fear of waking up your household?? Gary thought he caught you off guard Saturday night -- and that was early!!

That's it, next time I'm calling.

No clue who built the house, but I think it's the dumbest thing in the world.

A couple of Bzz Agent tips--fill out as many surveys as they give you, go through the Boot Camp thing and 101 that they suggest. That's what makes you eligible to get invited to a campaign or blast. Also, don't rely on them to email you to join the campaigns. Usually by the time you get the email, the campaign is full. So I check mine just about every day in the early afternoon to see what's there for me.

Rose, how is your ankle feeling? What a strange thing to have happened to you. I hope it's feeling better now.

Do you have 8' walls? That's another quirk in our home. Nothing is standard. Our walls are just 1-2' short of being 8". It really makes things difficult when you want to change a door here or there.

Mary J ,I could meet you sometime when I go to Mom's.Mom and Dad live in Indiana.I try to go down once every other month.

What part of Indiana do they live in? I am in the southwest.

 

[Diana Lyn]

It's 7 here! And Julia woke up at 6 and crawled into bed with me. I turned on the Disney Channel and rolled back over. The next thing I know I'm getting clobbered in the head with the remote. I open my eyes and see some guy selling some vitamin stuff on the TV. So I yell at her for touching the remote and say she's gonna have to watch this guy all day if she touches it again. I took Nyquil last night and I was still in my Nyquil haze. The channel wouldn't change. It was stuck on channel 1 and then when you tried to go into the DVR it says you are not authorized to receive this service. So I go up to make sure the bill was paid and Stacy IMs me asking if I had cable. Phew. I HAD paid the bill! She said her phone didn't work, there was a dial tone but it didn't call. So I tried to call someone, but couldn't think of someone to call at 7am, she had me call her and her phone actually was working! So there's my 7:00 fiasco. Cable still doesn't work. Calling the cable company gets a dumb recording that they are too busy right now. (Wonder why?) and I'm stuck with a vitamin pushing guy on my TV!

 

[MaryJ]

Walker & I just finished up his PTA Sponsored project. This years theme was "My Favorite Place" and our goal was to do this based on the cruise and Walker's pictures. Most of his pictures from the cruise didn't turn out so well, so we still went with that theme, just a little different angle to it. We took all the pictures Walker took by himself and then he sorted through and decided which ones he wanted to use. The size requirement was predetermined as well as the exclusion of any copy written material or characters (no tick-toc from the Club. much to Walker's disappointment). Per the rules, Walker did most of the work himself. Here's how it turned out:

Looks like we have another budding scrapbooker on our hands! Nice work, Walker!!

 

[Diana Lyn]

Do you have 8" walls? That's another quirk in our home. Nothing is standard. Our walls are just 1-2" short of being 8". It really makes things difficult when you want to change a door here or there.

I'm not a carpenter, I have no clue! I do know that when we replaced the front door this year it had to be special ordered because the sizing was way off.

How can I find out who built the house? My house does look a lot like yours. Do you have gold speckled countertop? Because that's my favorite feature of this house. We've replaced all the wacky stuff around here except the pepto bismol pink tile walls in the bathroom and the gold speckled counters. The pink sink in the kitchen was the first thing to go. Followed by the turquoise sink and toilet in the upstairs bath.

Its one of the greatest things I've ever used...I got mine last year at the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter meeting for free when they were just introducing them to the market. I love it!!! My only wish is that they offer better toothpaste to fill them. I would like one of the Crest flavored pastes, but all they offer is the gel or the whitening one. BTW...I took it on vacation for 2 weeks with no charger and it worked fine the whole trip and a few days after. It packs up really good in the travel case!!! I recommend it to most of our patients with gum problems...and most come back after using it and have less problems.

Wait a sec. This must be something different. I've had mine for 4 yrs or so. And I don't "fill" it with any toothpaste. I put the toothpaste on like normal. Maybe they've made upgrades to the system.

DUH! That would be 8' not 8" walls. I'm short, but not that short!

Gold speckled countertops. Hmmmm, they look more like leaves.

We lucked out in the bathroom. We have a very neutral beige in one of them and soft yellow in the other. Both have been replaced. It's the kitchen I'm afraid to start in.

Ooohhh, that sounds like our house. We have you beat, I think. We had pepto-bismal carpet through the entire house. Thankfully that went VERY quickly to a nice beige. And then, what we thought were ivory countertops turned out to be PINK countertops that they had painted (not very well, either), and it was chipping off within the first few days. For several years, I had ivory countertops with varying sizes of pink speckles from the paint chipping off. However, this past year, we were able to put in new countertops.

To prevent Mary smacking me one more time when walking by, I am posting that yes, I would be willing to go to Cedar Point....

Very funny Mark!....

You hear a smack??? I could be wrong but I definitely heard skin hitting hair!!
WHOA!!!

 

[curtdennis]

Chris, just let us know along the way what you need and when.

As for tickets, we've never been to Cedar Point. Is the park do-able in one day?

Cedar Point in very doable in one day BUT YOUR ARE WHIPPED! Karen and I ususally get a room to overnight in and then drive home recharged the next day.
