[OHJulie]

CG - You did not fail at all! Our bands are great! I like the fact that it says DIS ney, because that is how we all met. The wording on ours is very clever.

[castlegazer]

Thanks guys, plus ours glow in the dark - now how cool is that!!!!!!!!!????????


wish I had thought of the mouse ears, though.

 

[castlegazer]

hey, where did my post go telling you all that lbgraves has the Nagivators up???? I wonder if it got deleted?


Here's the link - it's wicked hard to read, though. $11.90/SF

well, now, that's not it - that's a rent - hmm, must be I was actually working since the last time I went to post it - whodathunkit?

Ok, here it is: http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=17534

I've been reading, but haven't had a chance to write in and chat! Sorry for the intermittent postings!! I have to say, you guys crack me up Now I know why SteveMed is always on the computer!
Thanks for the banana bread recipe!
I think I would opt more for something like this though:

Dirty Banana Recipe

Ingredients: 2.0 oz. Banana Liqueur
1.5 oz. Dark Creme de Cacao
1.0 oz. Milk

Directions: Stir ingredients and serve over ice.
BE CREATIVE WITH SERVING IDEAS!!

 

[castlegazer]

Oh yeah - that's my type of recipe!!!


Hey, I just zoomed in and tried to read that one page of Navigator and I actually really like the new format - people have been *****in up a storm about them - but gotta tell you, it's super helpful to see transition times on there and figure out where they will be at what time. I can see these being really handy. I give them a BIG

 

[rieggman]

Suzie: I like the bracelets too!

SUE egg

SteveMed and Real RIeggman - Have you picked out your outfits for the big "Daddy/Daughter dance tomorrow night? Dont' think that business suits come in spandex. Oh my!

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

CG, you have failed no one, I have wore the band since the day we got it.

Looks like I missed a whole bunch of stuff, I hope everything is O.K. life is way to short.

SteveMed, saw your post that even Firemen have to work, I really wish that you sat on your butt all day, keep up the good work. You said the Eggman has arrived, (Queen said I was being to graphic, so I had to edit)

Pangs keep up the good work, Suzie travel safe, and remind me to tell you all about my new friend that lives right near the Ron Jon, but I need more time than I have right now, remember I am on VACA.

Hey everyone!

My DS has set up a thread for all of the kids and teens that will be going on the cruise. He thought that it would be nice if they could all chat as well. If your kids are interested please have them check out the "Teens and Tweens 4/29" thread in Cruise Meets.

Man, a Dirty Banana sounds great about now!

OHSO - great news about your documents. I want mine!!

OHJulie

 

[castlegazer]

I have the stupid post of the day award today but I gotta tell you all about this - even all you dieters although its a diet killer. One of the buyers just gave to me a sample of Harry & David's Strawberry Lemonade Confections - HOLY COW!!!! They are basically white chocolate covered dried strawberry's with this tangy stuff on the outside like a sour gummy flavor to give it that lemonade kick! Man - these are super deadly! I don't even know if they are out in stores yet. But if they are - check em out!

I am dying here - how do I go back and ask for more is my only thought in my head - I am scheming ways to go back and grab some. I don't normally get all hopped up over candy, but man - it's that good.

life is way too short.

Hakuna MataTa everyone!

 

[Lisa D]

Just been reading and not posting. We're happy with the bracelets too!

Thanks for the tip about the Teens and Tweens thread - I'll send my boys to it. DS almost 14 loves the computer almost as much as his mom!

I want my docs too! But the time for the FedEx guy has come and gone for today - oh well. I also want my income tax refund before the cruise. Maybe I'll get lucky tomorrow.

Any "Lost" fans out there - I might have read something about that waaaaay far back. Last night's episode came as a complete surprise at the end - to me, anyway.

Have a good evening everyone!

Lisa

 

[castlegazer]

I thought it rocked! Yeah, completely shocking. I thought there might be something funny about her - but shhhhh, I think Suzie was DVR'ing it. It was a good episode - not top 10, but really good. My husband and I are big fans of JJ Arbrams. Alias is starting up again to finish out the story line shortly too.

Well today was a good day. Stopped off to the TA to see if they could apply a Shipbard credit from 2003 and she called and said yes. Woo Hoo, Less money out of Snoop's pocket and more for Rootbeer floats. However, as I was sitting there, one of her co-workers gives her an envelope. In it are our documents, which was really quick, considering I booked it last Friday.

Anyhow, I think we are going to splurge on the Villas for the massage things. With CG talking it up and the cabanas being talked down, we might do it. I tried to get the romantic inulgence but Disney says they need 30 days notice to book it. Grumbl Grumble gripe gripe. The big thing I wanted was dinner at Palos so I am going to pray and hope they have room.

So I had a busy work day here and there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel for some of my goals. The cruise is going to work out to be a good motivator.

 

[mom2cobysyd]

CG- I think I am going to like the new format of the navigators so that I can see each kid's activities lined up by time (as well as the family activities). It's too bad someone doesn't have one that is a little easier to see and has all of the days on it.

Also, we love the bracelets- you did a great job!

So, if we booked the cruise with a travel agent, will we get our docs from them or will we still get them directly from Disney? We leave 2 weeks from Monday so if our TA is supposed to send them, I want to call and remind them that we are leaving to go to WDW first.

Another question- Has anyone ordered any gift baskets from Shirley at The Perfect Gift? I have left 2 messages and haven't been called back. I really wanted to order sand buckets with toys and goodies for the kids and some Corona with Limes, etc. for the hubby. Others on the Dis rave about her and the pictures of her gift baskets that people have posted look so cute! Just curious if anyone has done this.

 

[Snoopyto]

Mom,

I am not sure. I use th autoclub thingee and the cruise documents seem to always come to them. Mom had her cruise documents for HAL go to them.

I was really surprisd that they are going to Overnight the credit slip to them for them to add to the folio. Now I can just figure how to verify that it got applied. Hmmmm

 

[jewelgrrl]

You all are really posting it up here! I had jury duty today....blech. The people didn't show up so we got dismissed. Still a hassle. First time I've ever been called to be a jurist. I have to go next Thurs. as well and the last time coincided with the cruise so I got out of that one. Hope I'm not offending anyone by saying it's a hassle.

Also, has anyone filled out the documents online on disney's website? And if you do do you still get the docs mailed to you at home or what? Not sure what I should do really. Maybe if I don't get mine in the next week then I'll fill them out on there.

Oh yeah, Tim's weight loss now totals 25 lbs. down! It's been a bit slower now since he's lost more than 20. I've been trying to eat better as well with him, but I've actually gained 5. I've been trying to convince myself I'm just bloated (yes, PMSing here also, although it's almost over). Which means I'll probably get it on the cruise too. I bet all the guys on here just love it when we girls talk about this stuff...lol.

 

[ulittletinker]

howdy all , Like the song says. By Chicago "We getting Closer to our Cruise (well ,ok so I change a word or two.) I didnt think the theme from love boat would work

CG and all, I found a site that has the most current Eastern Navigation 10/05. It also has photos of Ocean quest, and a large screen over the pool, go to castaway club com, at the top of the page has several sites to click. If you look towards the bottom of the paragraph just click on 10/05. I also think you did a great job with the cruise bands.


Suzie , I hope tori is feeling better, I think Emmy has that same the bug. I will PM you and rubysmon those scrapbook sites.

Rubysmom, wanted to send a shout your way, hope all is well, talk to ya soon.


Mketting I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your husbands RM's wife. every year my oldest and I walk in Susan G Komen BC , although I have not been effect, I feel its importain cause for Womens health in general.


Sue, I hope your feeling better your way.

 

[Snoopyto]

Jewel,

Some of us still need to lose weight. I have an appt with the Doc tomorrow and we are going on 3 months now that I was going to excerise more, but haven't. Empty promises. So I am oing to try to start this weekend and be a good boy for 3 weeks.

One can hope

I am writing in to find out how the voting is going. Hopefully there are no hanging chads. Although your list of reasons for being rieggman is very inclusive, I think there are a few more possibilities.
5. I am an egg blower. It is an ancient Eastern European tradition that has been passed down through my family for centuries. The delicate art of removing the yolk and white of the egg through a small hole in the egg without cracking the shell.
B. I am the inventor of the kitchen appliance called the “Egg”. It slices, dice, mixes, melds, and frappes. It also cleans no wax floors bring them back to their original luster. That’s probably not it because I’m not exactly sure what frappe is.
12. I am the lead singer in a Beatle cover band. Although I am not a good sing or guitar player I can talk with a British accent for a real long time. My fan base consists of old blue haired ladies wearing housecoats and arch supports, throwing girdles and trusses onto the stage as an enticement.
2. I am a health inspector of poultry processing plants. I am known to be a stickler for the federal laws that keep everything clean and running as well as our federal government does. So every morning you can crack open a delicious treat that came out of a filthy animal’s butt.
III. I am a superhero. I have been trained in Tibet by a Shaolin Monk in all manner of martial arts and hand to hand combat. I am an expert in all forms of weaponry, but my superpower is that I secrete a mucous substance similar to egg white that disables my nemesis by asphyxiation.

Many of the other possibilities are more interesting, but although I am not admitting anything I would have to vote for fertility specialist. Sorry no superhero, but SteveMed and I do have matching spandex outfits.


Rick "rieggman"

Oh my GAWD!!! (said in best RI accent)

I shutter think that you "ICSI'ed" me!!! If only I new then what I know now!!

Lots to read today. I have been going nonstop today but wanted to check in. Thank you all for your thoughts and Barb sorry to hear about your husband's Uncle as well. Cancer is such an insidious disease.

We are leaving at noon tomorrow so we can go to the viewing in the evening and the funeral on Sat.


See you all on Sunday......

Another question- Has anyone ordered any gift baskets from Shirley at The Perfect Gift? I have left 2 messages and haven't been called back. I really wanted to order sand buckets with toys and goodies for the kids and some Corona with Limes, etc. for the hubby. Others on the Dis rave about her and the pictures of her gift baskets that people have posted look so cute! Just curious if anyone has done this.

Shirley is now what I would call a friend of mine. She has helped me with our condo down there and some needs we had and now I have an apt. to talk to her about baskets on Monday or Tuesday next week. Call her then - she is gone for a few days I think. She asked that I talk to her then due to some scheduling things - she also said that she would be gone for a little bit after that but that if we didn't catch up with each other until the 17th it was still fine and plenty of time to get the basket order in.

No docs here either, but this question comes up every month here at the DIS so I know I can just relax, plus, all your docs are on-line now. It's all cool. Hakuna Matata.

Snoopy - go for it, man. I talked to my husband about it tonight and well, he said I would have to do a LOT of convincing to spend $500 on about 100 minutes in a villa. I have him convinced on the Rasul, but the villas....no, not when both TVs in the house are thinking they need to die and we just can't seem to convince ourselves that we need anything less than HDTV LCD 32" flat screens I still can't believe you just booked this.

inthemood - you RAAWKKKKK!!! That is going to be an awesome show!!!!

ulittletinker - those are not the most recent - the most recent are here on the DIS with 12/05 ones. Now there should be some new ones shortly too.

mom2 - I agree.

April, tell Tim "AWESOME JOB!" Man, that is really great. I think I backslid this past week a LOT. I just have so much to do right now that I have lost focus.

I have also lost focus on the cruise - as I said a ways back. I have trouble keeping focus on planning as we get closer and I lose it. So it's critical I get everything done shortly because if I don't God knows what I will forget.
