This is not fun. Did everyone give up, or am I simply talking to myself?

Remember, posts will randomly appear in between the ones you had in a row, making it seem that you were not alone. Its all part of the newer, friendlier DIS!

Gee...

... I was thinking of bringing my NOTEBOOK plus an outlet repeater strip to handle all the electircal items we're bringing:

Notebook computer charger
Shaver
DSLR Camera battery charger
Fuji battery charger
Canon battery charger
Sony DVD Camcorder Battery charger
DVD Player
Nite light
ZUNE loudspeaker and charging cradle (maybe?)
Vitamixer (Nawww!)
Plus Alicia's AC powered stuff!

OK.. my power strip is a conventional one - not the monster depicted above![/CENTER]

We bring a little Monster Power extension strip for exactly that purpose. It's designed for travel and has 6 outlets:

Nope, but work keeps getting in the way of DIS.

What did you all do to the boards? I don't really like having to go back 2 pages to make sure that I did not miss any NEW posts.

Well it seems as if we are still living in the Pirate Zone with psychic folks responding to posts that haven't been writen yet.


Seems as if DS will be in good company. Many of you will remember that he was just diagnosed last July with a moderate hearing loss. He has hearing aids for both ears and often forgets to wear them. Case in point, guess what's sitting on the kitchen table while he went to school???

Just saw this on the main board. Doesn't sound right to me, but those of you staying on Disney property might want to check it out.

Last week I called the Disneyland Hotel, and they said they will have a shuttle Sunday morning to drive us to the port. We are cruising 7/13. They told me it was free and made a note of it on our reservation. So you may just want to call them and ask them.

Our first storm report

 

[rillsung]

Hehe just wanted to share this... I mentioned yesterday buying our SW WDW tickets. I had copies emailed to me and to DH. Mine was correct. DHs had the dates and times correct, but the DAY was different as if it were last year... So we're traveling Thursday through Monday and his said Tuesday through Saturday When I called just to double check, she told me that after they released the fares there was 12,000 people accessing their system between 11a and 1p yesterday Our ressie was correct and I added a lap child to all 3 of our ressies we have now

 

[Caropooh]

How many times do you think we're going to be asked where we bought the shirts

And of course the people tat don't ask us the first day will ask us the day we go through the canal! This could get rather comical!

Are we still warped?

That's a loaded question, if I ever saw one!

Actually, the absolute best thing to do when you feel a cold coming on is to start taking Code-Eeze. It contains A form of zinc that actually impacts the cold virus and presumably reduces its ability to reproduce quickly, thus presumably shortening the severity and duration of colds.

One hint - read the directions. Don't take any vitamins (especially vitamin C) or use artificial sweeteners for at least 1/2 hour before & after taking it - those neutralize the zinc.

I'd say about 90% of the time when I have that "cold is on its way" feeling, if I start taking Cold-Eeze it never actually becomes a full fledged cold and I feel find by the next day or the day after.

I'll have to remember that!

I'm the same way Christopher. I have hearing aides, but I'll need a cochlear implant in the not too distant future.

Now lets see where this post goes

Edited to add: I guess they fixed the twilight zone effect-my post went where it was suppose to.

Kevin is totally deaf in his right ear....high jumping accident in 10th grade.

And now Stace too. Anybody know some sign language
I took a course in college, but without anyone to practice with I've forgotten everything

I know "I love you" and that's about it!

Not for me , I want to be on the Pirate Bus ...forget the shuttle ...probably wont get there early and probably wont stop at a liquor store

Hello everyone!


Just checking in.

Wow what a month! I decided to do all night shifts for the month of June (10pm-7am) to try it out (usually work 2-3 nights a month) Monday-Thursday with weekends off. What a mistake. By Thursday I was so exhausted it would take me 2 days to recooperate.

Well, I won't be doing that again.

I had no time to post. Hope everyone is well. Hope to Ketchup this weekend.


Nice flag Todd!

If anyone is still looking for a rolling cooler, found one here for $15 and free shipping.

Hey Todd - when are you guys leaving for Cozumel? Any day now right?


Last I heard I think the DCL busses were leaving around noon from DLH. I highly doubt there is a free shuttle but I figured someone might be interested. Seems like the party bus will probably get to the port before the DCL bus even gets to DLH.

Having been a non DIS'er on a cruise with a heavy DIS presence (this is only my second cruise as a DIS member), I'd say we generally assumed it was some sort of special family reunion or something and did our best not to feel left out ::cop:

I am kinda worried about this. I am a firm believer that your rights end where mine start and I do not want to make the rest of the non-DIS'ers feel uncomfortable. It is their TOAL too.

Don't understand this one Dan, all the articles that I have read indicate ascorbic acid has no effect on zinc absorption. The only interactions that I know of with zinc are calcium or phosphate containing products which decrease the absorption.

Good to know. I am a FIRM believer of Zinc.

Well it seems as if we are still living in the Pirate Zone with psychic folks responding to posts that haven't been writen yet.

Ah Hah! I was asking disneyjunkie last month about how her son was doing on his hearing loss. Wrong person- oops!

Where will tonights chat be? We were thinking of going to see WALL-E but decided to give opening day/evening a miss.

Thank You Thank You Hector .....

According to their site (and for all I know this is B.S.), the effect the zinc is having is not after absorbtion but actually as it coats your throat - and that the sweetners and vitamin C neutralize the effect. Again, this may be total marketing BS.

If there's one thing we know about these kinds of studies - they do keep changing their minds about what is good or bad for you. Why, just now I read how the CDC, after causing a nationwide tomato scare, is saying it may not have been the tomatos after all....
