5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 7

[kikipug]

But this weekend I'm making a special treat....
Dark Chocolate Fondue!!! MMMMM.....with brownies, marshmallows, strawberries, pineapple, sugar wafers, gummy worms, pound cake and those long cylindrical cookie things with the chocolate layer in them (can't think of the name)

If I start driving now, I might make it there by the time the chocolate melts...
oh wait... we're going to AK in the AM... never mind...

New here and to cruising? Did you book these ruins thru DCL. We booked the Tulum ones because that is all we saw in book. Can you give me info on this as really don't want to spend all day either but do want to see ruins.Thanks

Welcome DVCDEB!!!

Now to do something about the bruised pride!! I've never been so embarrassed.

The beautiful thing is that none of those people will ever see you again....
well, except your kids, but it's your job to embarrass them, so give yourself a couple of "good parent points!"

Hey, gaRry.....thought of a new nickname for you.....PATE.......goose liver.... ...get it??......love ya!

Isn't there some keystroke thing on the keyboard to get an accent mark over the E? PERFECT!

 

[ohiominnie]

Did I tell you the worst part about that little trip?? As I'm rolling backward on the Doom Buggy conveyor belt, Jared tried to help me up...got me about halfway off the floor, and dropped me! I honestly didn't no whether to laugh or cry at that point. But I chose crying. It helped keep the gathering crowd from laughing at me.

Did the CM not hit the emergency stop button? You kept rolling backwards????

Actually, there's a little used tool called 'character map' in windows that shows all the funky ones, including the é

Last night, we were having dinner at the Mexican restaurant between Big Thunder Mountain and the Shooting Gallery, and a little baby possum wandered past. At first I thought it was like the animatronic deer at WDW...but it was real...and cute.
We took a picture, but sadly may have temporarily blinded the little nocturnal dude.

Man, I see a nocturnal animal out at dinner time and think RABIES. Unless you were eating a late late dinner.

Hey, Mary....I noticed that the kids have their DIS id's on your website. Could you add KT and Nick's??



Nick is BuckeyeNick

So it that his pirate name???

Gee... and when I see a nocturnal animal out at dinner, I think "Hmmm... how did HE get a reservation???"

 

[dzneprincess]

No...we were on the Caribbean Princess. And it wouldn't have been me starting a fire in my cabin, I don't smoke in the room. Whew.


Yes, we're home. Came in, left to go get dinner and then we were telling Jay all about the trip. Both of them! The knee feels better after not being on it at all today. I did have to get up on the plane and stretch some. Swelling appears to be going down, so unless it gives me a lot more trouble, I'll just keep babying it for a while. Now to do something about the bruised pride!! I've never been so embarrassed.

Hey, gaRry.....thought of a new nickname for you.....PATE.......goose liver.... ...get it??......love ya!

I am so glad you are back safe and sound!!! Well not really safe since you have the boo boo.....and well...not so sure about the sound part either! Well I am just glad to have you back!!

Almost forgot....CRUISE RELATED.......I had an e-mail from our concierge on the Norwegian ship. Chankanaab is back up and running, fully operational...EXCEPT...still no dolphins there.

And she said Tulum was so badly damaged that they have not reopened it yet. I'm thinking that maybe we should look at doing something else beside Tulum, and book it now, so we aren't left out in the cold. Or sun, as the case may be.

YIKES, YIKES....what to do. I'd like the kids to see ruins (well, esp Nick. KT has seen them) But dont' want to book TWO ruins tours and then have Tulum open and be stuck going on two!! Wonder if Disney will let you cancel the excursion on the ship once they figure out where we are going and what's going to be open? Hmmmmm

Mary, I can't think of another birthday kareoke so, how about a birthday poem?

It is your birthday

I want you to know that
you are a very
special person
who has touched and warmed
many lives
including mine
I also want you to know
how much I appreciate you

Have a very happy birthday!

I went on Space Mountain using their special lift car.....very cool how that works.
But the kids wanted to go a second time in a row...too much for me. So they left me in my wheelchair in the video arcade outside Space Mountain. I played the "Grab Game"....the Claw.....and Kevin, guess what I won??

A PINK MONKEY!

OK that is just eerie!

 

[ohiominnie]

That is just mean to make Nick where his screen name on his button. Where is social services when you need them?

Maybe I'm pulling a Kellie and missing something here. I don't get this.

You're just BAD!!!

Cool!! Can you post a picture of a picture of the Monkey!!

Kids names are all updated on the spreadsheet and the web page. Do me a favor and check the web page to make sure I got yours right. I kept both open as I scrolled through the post this morning so I'm pretty sure I got them all. Just don't want anyone to be disappointed.

But interestingly, at the bottom of this post it says:

Now that is love. Mark coming through and fixing the typos. Awwww

COOL, and unexpected TOP shared with DIS kids, Mark and Mary!
KT coined the phrase "U TOP" on the tween/teen board for these unexpected TOP's, but apparently I'm not allowed to use that term. I'm not COOL enough or something.

They're too busy with all the calls about parents using their kids as pack-mules for wine.

Thank you, kikiKaren!!! or forcing them to make you drinks during your work office party!!!
