5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 2

[scuba diver]

I forgot to mention that Matt called from Costa Rica Tuesday night.

15 year old boys sure do not like to talk on the phone. The only thing we could really get out of him was that he was eating great and doing stuff with people.

At least he called!

Good morning cruisers!


Happy Thursday!



Wow - lots happening last night!

Welcome Moley! Glad you found us. I'm the one who runs the photo gallery website and we'd love to have you on it. When you are ready please send the picture and all info to me at marygums@monorailgreen.info Please put the 5/27 cruise in the subject and your DIS name someone in the message. My DH (MarkRG) and I are also on the DVC Member Cruise and I'm doing a picture gallery for that cruise as well and don't want to get them mixed up.

It's official....

Add Grandma Lightbulb and Butch to the list!! They will be in 6008. Early dining.....

and....

we....

will.....

too....

Sending out PM's to our dining buddies who will be affected by our changing to Main dining.

Not sure if the sick feeling in my stomach is having to take KT away from the girls at dinner or it's a case of food poisoning from Bob Evans.

Mary, could you update the photo gallery? Go ahead and use the Member cruise picture of Gma. Any other info you need? Butch's bd is 8/14, Gma's is 3/22....did I cover it all?

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy that Grandma is sailing with us!

So happy the mouse family is back on early dining!

So unhappy that Karen is feeling sick to her stomach.

Today is my Friday! Mark and I are both leaving work a little early and heading down to Nashville. Hi cousin (who was our ring bearer) is getting married! I'm looking forward to this road trip.

On the way home Sunday we have a pre-cruise meet set with Sandi and her family!

We will have the notebook with us and the hotel has internet so we may post from time to time.

I have managed to read 30 pages of this thread so far. Do you think I'll finish before we sail?

Glad to have you aboard, Moley and Bob!! Is Moley short for something? Have never heard that name before.

DON'T even TRY to read all the pages of this thread. It will use up all of your time and that will prevent you from posting, posting, posting. We want to know all about you!! To sum up this thead in one line.....a bunch of crazies preparing for a great time!!! HA!

WELCOME!

 

[ohiominnie]

We are just to upset to talk to you tonight!

I just don't know how we will break the news to Lisa. We might have to fly Matthew home from Costa Rica to help us deal with this grief.

Don't tell her. Just get another chair at your dinner table....we'll make KT eat twice each night (her figure can tolerate that) and just tell her that Mike and I are eating at Pinnochio's each night!

 

[WDWLVR]

Photo Gallery Update!


The gallery has been updated with Grandma Lightbulb's info and picture! Yeah!

 

[WDWLVR]

Early morning welcome to Moley. Glad you both are joining us.

Good luck trying to read all the back pages. I'm sure someone will jump in this mornning a single post that summarizes the last 400 pages.

OK I'll take a stab at a quick update:

• Many of us are return cruisers
• A few in the group are first time cruisers
• 7-8 of the families on here sailed together on the 12/18/04 10 day Christmas cruise
• Jim & Kevin are the scuba experts
• Amanda not only started the thread but did updates with secret comments - haven't seen one in a while - Amanda bring back the updates!
• Banfi is the drink of choice for many on the cruise, but for some reason Karen (Kiki) likes Budweiser better.
• I'm the keeper of the photo gallery that you've already seen (thanks for the nice comments).
• My DH (MarkRG) is the button man and will make personalized buttons for the cruise.
• Maria (tiggerinNY) is going to coordinate the group t-shirts
• Monica (Mickeymo) and her daughter Maggie are the travel agents for the cruise mascot Scoopie (who has his own website - you can get to it by the link on my page or by clicking "Where's Scoopie" in Monica's signature.
• We celebrate getting a post on the top of a new page by saying TOP (which is Top Of Page). Silly I know but we started it on the 10 day and brought it here.
• I post a good morning each day and a weekly countdown each Saturday.

I'm sure I've forgotten some things but I think that covers the major ones. Most of all we love getting to know each other and are looking forward to sailing together.

Which we are just about due for.....soon....

 

[ohiominnie]

could Mary still be out there lurking??? We'll find out in 32 seconds!

YEAH....A TOP with Mary!!!

I wouldn't have normally gone for a top that shamelessly, but I thought it was my duty to show the new people what Mary meant by her TOP comment!

Welcome back from 'the dark side'... glad to see that we'll have a few more of us in Main dining!!!! KT can join Elizabeth for early dining, and Lisa for late...

And welcome to Grandma Lightbulb & Butch!! I wish I could get family members to cruise with us... it would be so much fun! (We're in the talking stages of a MAJOR family cruise for '08 to celebrate Mom & Dad's 50th... it won't be DCL though, unless they decide to start sailing NYC to Bermuda by then... which they won't- gotta uphold an old family tradition)

Banfi is the drink of choice for many on the cruise, but for some reason Karen (Kiki) likes Budweiser better.

I just haven't gotten around to TRYING Banfi yet... besides, the top of my pay check every week DOESN'T say Banfi... I am partial to those who pay my salary!!! (And I'd rather have a Budweiser Select, btw... )

Maybe the very best activity we did onboard was sign up for another cruise. Bob picked out May 27 because he was told it was a very special new cruise. I already had heard about it because I've seen your thread from way back last year. I can't believe I'll be joining up with another lively and fun group of Dis'ers, but here we are.

Welcome, Moley and Bob! Hmm... 'lively'... nice choice of words... go ahead, you can say it... we're CRAZY!!!! I too, wonder where Moley came from- all I can think of is Larry The Cable Guy's bit about his sister, "Holy Moley"... sorry- can't help it!!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!!

Early morning welcome to Moley. Glad you both are joining us.

I'm still trying to catch up on last night's posts! Life is sure cutting into my DIS time -

 

[mickeymo]

Welcome to Moley, and Grandma Lightbulb...Can't wait to meet the famous Grandma Lightbulb...

As Mary said, my daughter Maggie is coordinating Scoopie's travels over the next year - my signature has a link to Scoopie's website - PM me with your address and possible hosting dates - it doesn't have to be for a vacation....Although, I think he could challenge Barb for most cruises in a year!!

Mary, great job summarizing! I'm brain dead this a.m - still trying to finish my coffee... Yeah, Amanda, where's the white pages???

 

[mickeymo]

A few other traditions worth mentioning...

potstirring, Friday kareoke

 

[mickeymo]

and another....

shameless post count boosting (trying to maintain top 10 status....)

 

[ohiominnie]

Oh, and Moley.....

Don't make any bad comments about anyone who plans to take an entire carafe of wine to dinner...

trust me!

speaking of pot stirring....

Jim - love the new avatar!

Thought that one was appropriate. It's from our DiveQuest at Epcot.

Lisa AND Lauren....

I'm sure KT would love to meet Elizabeth and hang with her on early dining.... of course, that IS if Elizabeth even knows about the cruise by then!! HA!
