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

[RachelTori]

I didn't take any pictures ... sort of wish I had. There is clean-up progress being made. I didn't see much rebuilding going on yet. There are lots of gutted houses & businesses. As Irene has said about FL, I think the problem now is getting workers to actually do the work to rebuild & repair.

Someone sent me this website. It is from the Biloxi, MS newspaper. Some of the after pictures looked exactly as what we saw this weekend... so not much has changed.

I'll have to see if I can find a website that has the same sort of thing for LA.

Good morning, everyone!!

Here's the link to Oprah's show yesterday. Very eye-opening about what HASN'T happened yet. Many feel "forgotten" -- it's so sad.

Hopefully, the exposure will create results.

looking ahead to this weekend and registering...

Is it 3:00am est Saturday a.m. or Sunday?
Do you you need your Castaway number?

oops - sorry, good morning everyone! I haven't finished my coffee - I'm a bit out of sorts...

Monica -- I believe for you that would be 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. 1 a.m. for us here in Mountain time. We have a huge swim meet this weekend with a trials and finals. So if Ashley makes final in any events Saturday or Sunday Morning, we swim again at 4:00 p.m. each day. This means more than likely that we will be at a swim meet all weekend. She has 1 event Friday night, then a birthday party. However, she has had a cold this week, so we may be home after the morning sessions. We'll see.

I don't think you need your castaway number as long as your reservation is already linked to it. I made sure mine was.

Anybody notice that they took the notice off of the DCL site about the March cruises not going to COzumel. Maybe they are getting ready to add April to th e list, who knows

Did everyone see this on the main board? We'll now be able to fill out our forms online. Pretty cool!

Mary - speaking of cool - the table is great - I just checked...

 

[kikipug]

I didn't know Sam liked Port! Bring another glass....


Whoa!! Time to celebrate a TOP with the "boys" and drinking good Port!!

Hey... it's not just the BOYS... given the choice of good Port or Bingo, Port wins EVERY TIME!!!!!!

(Bingo was the farmer's dog.)

Opps - just checked myself and it looks like the changes i made this morning aren't up. I know I fixed it in Front Page but must have forgotten to upload it. So Monica, Kevin and Sue - your changes are made and I'll have the new page uploaded tonight. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[tinksdad]

No worries Mary!!

Thanks for the setup! TOP!

 

[lunsusie]

Also I need to apologize to lunsusie. She sent me her info to be added to the web page last month and it got lost in my pm box. So her info is up there now too.[/QUOTE]

No need for an apology, Mary. Thanks for including us on the web page.
I'll send you a PM - we would like to be included with the buttons and the mini-navigator.

Thanks
Susie

I was just about to send the info, should have known he took care of it. I figure he's here a lot more than I am!

Hi there! I'm new to this group, but admittedly have been lurking on and off for awhile! It is intimidating for me to jump right in since you all already have well over 1000 pages to this thread!!!

I'll start off by introducing the fam:
We have my DH Paul , DS1 Adam (15) , and DS2(13) , as well as myself, Susan . We live in CT where it is 33 degrees and are looking forward to the May 27th cruise which will be our 2nd DCL cruise.

We have 6pm dining rotation and are linked with MIL & FIL and another family (friends of ours).

We look forward to meeting new friends, so please ask questions and I'd love to know more about all of you---w/o reading every page!!!

, Susan

Well, you've been lurking....so you might know us just a little (maybe a little more than you want to)

We're just a bunch of crazies all getting to know each other a bit before the cruise. I've been on DCL cruises with a bunch of DIS friends, and I've done it without knowing anyone. I'll say it is fun seeing friends in the hall and the dining rooms all the time. Or sharing a taxi on an excursion. Or sitting by each other at CC. Lots of good times.

I'm Karen, dh is Mike (ohiomickey when he gets a chance to post) I have a dd, KT, almost 12 and a ds, Nick, 9, who will be sailing with us.

Look for a post by WDWLVR and you'll see a link in the bottom of her siggie with lots of information on it. It's got a photo gallery. Information about ordering shirts. An opportunity to buy a special excursion bag/cooler. Etc...

Jump in and share whatever and whenever you can. We're looking forward to sailing with a big, crazy, blabbermouthy group! (and I mean that in the most loving of ways!)

There are a lot of posts, but that's the way we get to know each other (sometimes too much) We have fun here and will have fun on the cruise for sure!!!

Our little family is comprise of Kevin, Diana and Alicia DD 15. Is your son cute?? We might have a problem Houston.........

We live in Albuquerque, have cruised with several of the threads participants on the Christmas 10-day in 2004. We have met many more at different DIS meets in DW, dive trips or just passing through.

We have 6pm dining rotation and are linked with MIL & FIL and another family (friends of ours).

susan

Sounds like you already have a table fun for dinner!!! Jump in and spread the joy!!

 

[kikipug]

Is your son cute?? We might have a problem Houston.........

OK Kev... stupid question to ask a MOM ... what Mom in her right mind is going to answer that by saying, "Nah... we could use his face to make gorilla cookies"????

Kiki, you always cut right to the chase. Better to ask, does your son have red hair? Is he Emo? No idea why, but that's her new thing.

 

[dobelover]

Welcome aboard Susan! For this cruise it will be CodyJ aka my sister Liz (53), DM aka Jeanne (87), Nick aka my 9yo nephew and me (56). Glad you will be joining us.

[kikipug]

Kiki, you always cut right to the chase.

Yeah... don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'll never change!!!

True!!


BTW, what in the heck is a "Gorilla Cookie"????????

must be a Connecticut saying.........

Susan and family. This is our 2nd cruise as well. We are me, DH, Larry (carvinfool), and DS, Caleb, age 11.

We have 6pm dining rotation and are linked with MIL & FIL and another family (friends of ours).

We also have 'main' dining, so will definitely see you around. We have only met Mark and Mary in person. The rest of this bunch are still 'strangers' to us (with the emphasis on STRANGE). I guess that's why DH and I seem to be fitting in so well.

Susan!

I'm the Mary everyone told you about. My DH (Mark) and I have done the website for the group. The link is in my signature below and it should bring you up to speed very quickly.

If you would like to send me your information and a picture we'd love to add you to the gallery. You can e-mail me at marygums@monorailgreen.info please note in the subject line that it is for the May cruise as we are also doing a page for the DVC cruise in October.

Mark and I are also doing buttons for the group so let me know if you would like them. We are also going to put out a mini-navigator with everyones cabin numbers so let me know if you want that as well.

Just jump on in and join the fun!

BTW - what is your second son's name? Don't want to leave him out!

Hi Susan! WELCOME!!

My name is Shiann...I am a "lurker" (too!). I'm wading, ever so slowly, into the tide of chatter...'bout up to my knees! This is a great bunch of folks (oh, I'm from the south...we talk like that)!!

I have Dd Savana (14), Ds Kace (10) and Dh2b Roy. This will be Roy's first cruise and our second.

I look forward to hearing more about you and your family!
