[mketting]

Have any of you ever heard of Despair.com They have these hilarious calenders etc. called Demotivators. Kirk came across them awhile ago, their great when you need a laugh.

I'm exhausted my week has been insane , my supervisor is an idiot. The good news..........It's February Break here in Western NY and the kids and I have all next week Off!!!!!

Here are a few others of my favorites

 

[castlegazer]

Alright-CG Is that how you call me out???? PLEASE make sure EVERYONE knows that I did not actually say that!!!!

I did a very bad thing to my laptop the other day. I closed the top onto my mouse and cracked the lcd so I have been selling my 2 kids post partum not lost a pound body on the street corner to pay for the repairs! IT might take me several months. IF only I had a banana hammock.....

PJ

well, only if you admit it was damn funny - because I am still cracking up over it - and I feel kinda lame laughing my *** off on my own here. "**** of the land"

mketting!!!!!

aw ,there ya go, making my **** of the land comment look lame compared to this beauty of a quote!

 

[castlegazer]

alright Michelle, we are here for ya! Well, I am here for a few minutes more - gotta admit, I have been tolling the pics thread for a while now and need to go watch Battlestar Gallactica

I have had a do nothing week - spinning my wheels waiting for real estate managers to get off their kattooskuses and get some crap to me.

Tell us your woes!

 

[mketting]

Have a great weekend everyone. I have decided to make an unplanned trip home to Pittsburgh to see my family, just need to get away. We will get up early tomorrow morning and head out. I'll try to check in from there.

Keep up the great work everyone who is losing weight!!!!!

 

[castlegazer]

Now we are sitting here taking in the beauty of HDTV! How did we exist before this?

OHJulie

No idea, since I am still in the dark ages - no HDTV, no TIVO, no DVR - CRAP!!!!!

I am outta here too - I want to go home too. So I will be in the Berkshires for the weekend with my Mom and friends. Ahhhh, going home feels good, doesn't it?

 

[mketting]

Thanks CG. Hard to explain it all but I work with a lot of very difficult kids, some of the reasons they have been sent to the center where I work are 37 of them for fighting or otherr violent behavior, 8 for possesion of a weapon at school, 3 for attacking teachers, 6 for drugs and a dozen of so with a myriad of emotional disorders and yet our supervisor told us we are not to call security or the counseling office at all costs!!!! Just handle everything ourselves and don't escalate the students, just take them for a walk. She is insane!! We work this type of student and she wants to give us absolutely no support, it is very frustrating!!!

OK my vent is done. I'm going home to let my MOM cook and take care of ME for a few days!! Pathetic I know but that's what family is for.

Last one tonight...

 

[ohsodisney]

DH just paid off the Disney World trip portion of this crazy , expensive , we really cannot afford this vacation !

We got our computer back and it S***s , all the icon are nearly invisible , this screen is so darn small I have to squint , what the heck did they do ?????

Oh heres the kicker , when they put in the new hard drive they gave us back the old one so we can at least get our pictures off of it . well when he went there today to have them do it , they gave us the wrong harddive back and have no idea where ours is . I now have no pictures of my girls when they were babies -now . We did try and back them up but something went wrong because our computer has been so messed up almost since the day we got it . DH had this one custom built , never again !

O.k I should go to bed and end today , between this and the dog that was dead in our yard I think I need to start fresh .
What a day !

 

[mketting]

OHSO--Sorry about the dog, very sad.

Suzie- Wonderful picture of your dad and Tori.

 

[ohsodisney]

Thanks Mketting , I have sure a soft spot for animals , especially dogs . I am hoping that since ours passed away this past fall that maybe just maybe the girls and I will get a new pup for Christams this year

Oh , I wish I could read the picture from the calendar but my screen is so super small I can hardly read these posts .

 

[ohsodisney]

Quick question for previous cruisers . Do they sell Disney cruise line sweatshirts on the ship ? I really would love one , I missed out on the RCCL ones , they only pulled them out on the colder days .

 

[castlegazer]

OK guys - I have been working tirelessly for the past two nights on a project I thought we all needed. I am super unhappy with how it came out as you really can't see the names very well, but I will try and get an e-mail of the file to everyone over the next few days. I will also try and re-work it now that I have everyone's pics in one place, to make it look better. For now, though, I found this super helpful to get to know everyone's DH's names and children's names. I have been reading trip reports where they say it becomes kinda helpful to know people's real names by the time you cruise. Not that we don't, but I just thought this would help.

I am very tired, so sorry for the babble. I will shut up now and just tell you that there is a new photo flolder over at Yahoo call All of Us.

It's very misleading since it is certainly not all of us - but it is all of us with pics up on the site. It leaves off a lot of you guys because you don't have pics I could steal.

It was helpful to me, so hopefully it will be helpful to you all - and like I said, I will try and send it off to you all once I get satisfied with it.

 

[The Roses]

Hey CG! Great work on the pics!

1. What is your favorite Disney Park?
Disneyland. We're old folks, we like the original version. Haven't been to the FL one in at least 25 years.
2. What is your favorite Disney Ride?
Peter Pan. And Mr Toad's Wild Ride. We have to borrow children so I can go over and over again.
3. What is your favorite Disney Resort to stay at and why?
Grand Californian. You pull up and they greet you by name. Then they take you directly up to your room and give you a glass of wine while they check you in. Very nicely done.
4. Describe a great Disney Experience that you had.
DH's company is a Disney venture, so we were invited to the CM party. They closed the park and gave us the run of the place. All of the dancers that normally danced in the parade came dancing down Main Street in regular clothes dancing to the music as if they were in the parade. It's hard to explain, but it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Speaking of funny, we loved mketting's despair posters! They're hysterical. I might have to hang the calendar in my office!

I have a question for you frequent cruisers: How do you figure out how much to tip for room service? We usually tip 15-20% of the room service bill. But on the cruise, room service will be free. So how do you determine how much to tip? Or in the Pirate's words, How many pieces 'o gold do we fling at the lad?

[suziemva]

Sue - room service tips is $1-2 per person in the room that you ordered. That's what we were told.
Michelle - I think it was you that asked - they have WONDERFUL DCL garb on board! I have a great sweatjacket (on sale) and 2 tank tops (remember my sunburn?) that I bought there! They are so very nice at the store too!!! We were voted Friendliest Family On Board by the Merchandise team....pretty funny but kinda neat!!

Really like Deborah from South Africa - hope she's on the ship still!

Okay, gotta go! Ed got home at 1:00 am this morning and is out getting donuts for breakfast (for him and TORI!). We gotta be out of here soon to go to see Disney on Ice. Hope it's good.....

 

[mketting]

We're packing the car to go, have a great weekend everybody. And remember.....

 

[OHJulie]

CG - The pictures look great - Thanks!

I can see us all now with our cheat sheets in the terminal!

MK - Love your inspirational posters!

Oh The Roses, booty means Loot ,just in case you didn't know
