5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 6

[WDWLVR]

Mary's husband Mark does the buttons. Just make sure she has your screen name your real name and if the rest of your family would like buttons. If they don't post, they tend to say NAME - Husband of YOUR SCREEN NAME. I found it VERY helpful on the last cruise when people wore there buttons so I could keep track of who was who. THANKS MARK!!!!

Actually for the spouses and kids without screen names we usualy just put first names. If someone wants it to say DH of whatever we can.

A post on the button production and the mini-nav will most likely happen in the next week or so. Mark has the design done just waiting for a trial run.

For anyone who hasn't seen one here is a sample of one of Mark's buttons. This one is from the DVC Member Cruise last September. The one for our cruise will incorporate the ice cream cone motif.

Checking in and I picked up all the prayers, pixie dust and good wishes. They really help. It looks like the funeral will be Friday. We will prob. leave tomorrow. I am thinking that I should wear a navy suit and an orange top for the funeral (and guess what school he went to!).

Back to cruise items.....

To show that I haven't completely lost my sense of humor - maybe Sam and I should stop at JBs for rockshrimp on the way back...Sunday.

And even Kiki can agree with my colors considering the reason.....

I am totally lost on the shirt sizes. I went to the webpage but could not find a size chart...I expect I am not quite with it today. Can someone provide me with better navigation directions and I can post sizes today before I leave work. Thanks.

Sharks - had to tell me didn't you Kevin....I still miss doing that dive. I must take one of the recommended medicines for the manatee dive, to see how I react.

Buttons - hopefully Mark/Mary I do not have to provide id information this week.....

Anything else?

Irene - so sorry about your loss.

Maria - Change Ashley's t-shirt to a medium (10-12), I will go look at the shirts and maybe change the shirts to polos for me and hubby. Will let you know.

Pam, changed Ashley's. Let me know about the polos. I have everything on an Excel spreadsheet now, so it's a little easier to change everything.

I know I can't control Jim, but its scary that Matt goes along on these trips - and yes I do worry!!!

Not to worry Mom!!

You would be proud of both of our families and the dive controls and parameters that are put on the kids. We know how to dive safe and pass that along to the kids as well.

 

[tinksdad]

OH MY GOODNESS. Maybe I should go buy a baby gift!!!????!?!?!?

How about this?

You have our number. Give us a call on the way back if you want some company. It might be a little crowded because it is race week.

Thanks for the back up, again. I'll cover for you next time. Maybe they won't figure it out.

I got the "Arm Pitt" name! After all, I'm the loon that came up with Peach Pitt.

Very clever gift, Kevin!


Well...the new TV is all hooked up....and all I can say is WOW. What a great picture. And it has more features than I will ever care to use. He set it up with my own TV Guide.....so if I can ever find the right button again, it will display my name at the top of the screen, and all of the channels that are my favorites...and none of the sports, archaeology, blowing up buildings and stuff that the "boys" watch. I just like seeing my name on the television.

And I rearranged the living room while I was at it, too.

mickeymo....


I put your pork roast in today and covered it with raspberry salsa....

mmmmmmmmm

my house smells GOOD!!!

ooo raspberry salsa - let me know how that turns out...sounds good!

 

[justmestace]

Irene....sorry so late....many prayers for you on the loss of your "brother". I think you have earned the right to call him your brother.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

OK, I've been sitting at this computer since the kids got on the bus....

Here's the size info that is on the website (I will post this at the end):

These are KIDS sizes only:
XS(2-4), S(6-8), M(10-12), L(14-16), XL(18-20)

I guess I goofed about the Medium. Thanks for catching that. It was late and I guess I was tired. Sorry about that.

The kids T's are Hanes Beefy T's. We have to choose 50/50 or 100% cotton. The 100% are going to be more money.

The website: apparelart.com. Check it out for yourself. I don't know what kind of shirts the Disney uses. Sizes look about the same.

Get back to me about the 50/50 or 100%.

Thanks.

Interesting.. size 5 gets left in the dust with them eh? LOL
I would say if we're going with 50/50 that based on these sizes I would need one XS, one Sm, one Med. If we end up going with 100% cotton (I'd prefer 50/50 if possible) then I'd go with sm, med, lg and shrink those boogers to fit. LOL

I will check the website to see if the adult sizes are accurate for us as well.
Okay looking on the website now. For those that can't find it- click on sportsear catalogs at the top and then start choosing stuff to find sizing. I chose 50/50 jerzees because I figure that's close enough to what we're looking at thru Maria.
I'm confused on the sizing though- it says xs is 18 body length (and my youngest I just measured her and she is 17/18 from neck to um, that area. LOL So that's body length- right? So definitely XS for her if we go with 50/50. But it says body width 13 for xs...what is that? Where do you measure that? She's definitely not 13 inches around at any point of her torso if that's what it means. LOL Or does it mean 13 inches across the FRONT!? If that's what it means- definitely xs for her and sm for son, med for my daughter.

Now looking at adult sizes... again if going with 50/50 I would say small for me (and hope it isn't too tight but it's either go with that or possibly have one swallowing me. I don't understand the body width part- but going by the other measurements, small would fit me) and I'd go ahead and go Lg with hubby. He probably would fit medium but with him I'd rather go on the safe side. He looks okay when shirts are a little too big for him -he does NOT look good if they are too small. He's broad shouldered too- so large for him.

recap:
if going with 50/50:
Me: polo adult small
Jeff: polo adult large
Ruby: youth med tee
Robert: youth small tee
Rita: youth XS tee

If going with 100% cotton I guess I'd go with:
Me: polo adult med tee
Jeff: polo adult large tee
Ruby: youth lg tee
Robert: youth med tee
Rita: youth small tee

Thanks for the website so we could figure out sizing- helps a lot!

I have no idea what Mark's username is to figure out a way to contact him to see if he has us on the list for the pins. How much are the pins?

 

[justmestace]

Irene...I'm with you...I looked on the website and couldn't find the sizes of the t-shirts. Just said XL. L. M. S from what I saw. HELP Maria!!
Still, I would think that you (Irene) would wear a medium, don't you think?

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

See my edited post above. If you click on sports catalog at the top and start looking at the various type shirts- then it will give you a chance to click on 'specifications" for that shirt and shows sizing chart.

Am giving up on searching until later.....Either the web, or my system or my 'puter will not let me load pages. So, I will try again.

Meanwhile...thanks for all your help......

You have our number. Give us a call on the way back if you want some company. It might be a little crowded because it is race week.

Thanks...depends on family plans, but this will give Sam a relaxing break...

It should take about 1 1/2 hours to drive south, so we can so do....race weekend sounds like lots of traffice. Had to PM you as well....a bit scattered today.

We will wait and see.

Thanks...

Well, seems the sizes are all even sizes 2/4, 6/8 10/12 and 14/16.

There is no 5, 9, or 13.

Mark is MarkRG and the buttons are free....AS LONG AS....you are going to wear them. In other words, they have NO problem making them and footing the bill for them if you plan to use them but would rather not you get them and then don't use them. Makes sense to me.

 

[scuba diver]

Sorry, but we guys need to know....what kinds, size, model, etc. Make us happy with all the details of your new TV.

Irene wanted to know how the adult sizes ran. I looked at the specs, and it was all Greek to me. Maybe I looked at the wrong style??
Like, is an XL a size 44?
