8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #11

[dahuffy]

I am just posting a general open post about the cruise...YOU here means everyone.

Above all else..remember this is YOUR cruise...you should feel free to do as little or as much as you want. What has been put together by everyone (and a HUGE thank you! for that) is only for fun and only you can decide what you want and can take part in. No one is in "charge" of the group. I have both met people in person and in cyberspace that I am looking forward to spending time with on the cruise. Again...this is YOUR cruise and you get to choose how and who you spend your time with.

Looking forward to finally meeting everyone! to all...

Ditto!!!

Esteri dared me to....and I never back down from a dare.

I just hope no one dares me to jump off the ship. I DO have my limits.

We love ya Stacey!!!

hi all, been awhile since I have popped by. I was just wondering if any GTYs been assg a room yet? I am still GTY and I was hoping that I would have a room assg by now! anyone?

No assignment here - still hanging out in the lifeboat. I'm guessing based upon what I've been seeing on the Mex Riv cruises that we won't see anything until next Thursday or Friday.

<sniffle, sniffle>

No. <sigh>

Nothing here yet.

I guess we'd best get ourselves psyched to stay in one of the lifeboats.

I just checked the Mex Riv cruise leaving on 8/10 and they got their assignments today...so I bet we will get ours next Thursday!

 

[dahuffy]

You have to stay , who else is going to joke about stuffing my package

I



till I

 

[disneypilots]

I am sorry it offended you.


Well said Esteri. You are so good with words. We are getting close to the trip and have spent endless hours getting to know each other. We have laughed with each other and prayed for those that needed it. I'm still trying to figure out why these malcontents have the need to come out and try to spoil this joy yet again as they tried a year ago this month? This perplexes me. Let's just hope we can all have a great trip.

First of all I would like to apologize to all my friends.......Based upon the need and care of Laura's mom.........I have to beg off any further planning of the Disneyland meet. Please forward your plans to Tom. I have been involved with the DIS for many years and many, many Disney Cruises........Which makes the next part extremly difficult......... I am only using Arlene's post as a springboard....

To all of you who feel that calling people Malcontents and enjoying your silly little games, like Gorilla's........Is a pastime.....You should be ashamed of yourself's. I can read......even backwards when I need to.........and some of you have displayed childish behavior. You know who you are. Your seemily simple little words and games hurt people. I only weigh in once in a great while.........So understand my disgust in some of your actions. Stop making issues and drama when all you did was make a simple mistake. Stand up and be the tremendous adults I know you could be, and apologize. Stop trying to make it someone else's fault. Your going to be spending over 2 weeks on the most magical cruise ship in the world. Dont screw it up. I wont stand silent for it. If you want to cause heartache and pain, try another cruise line...........where you can be an idiot and be appauded.

Don't PM me and tell me your tale of woe. I have heard it all, and then some.

Desiree!! YAY!! I'm glad it worked out. And I am begging, begging you to post pictures. I'm sooooo jealous!!

I will take lots of pictures and will post... I really wanted the room the night before we go on the cruise to have a get-together..but no luck..not one of the choices!

 

[lbgraves]

I have been waiting for the 3G for awhile with the iphone , Thats why I didnt leave sprint with the first one cause with evdo it was faster then edge .... But 3g has got me switching .. I just wish they would have went to 32GB , so I will just get the 16 till they up the memory ( I have over 20GB just of music , not including movies and such which adds another 20gb ) So I will be up and out the door around 2am to get inline down at the apple store .....

Todd, you know that Carla and John will be in line too so you can talk to each other on your cells...or iphone, excuse me.

 

[AndyR]

You'd best be careful. If that famed "Tag Fairy" exists, that quote will haunt you for the rest of your time on the DIS!

I'd be honored to have Jimmy Buffett quote as a Tag

Kind of figured they would be ...ever since I made the switch to Apple and MAC ..Im all about it ...LOL

 

[AndyR]

Todd, you know that Carla and John will be in line too so you can talk to each other on your cells...or iphone, excuse me.

I'm going to waltz down to the store in Watsonville (CA), they open at 8am and last year had the original phones for the asking.

[dahuffy]

Andy

Yet another crazy soul for the Captain to call while waiting in line. I really hope that any of you planning to do this have good weather while you wait.

 

[crzy4dals]

First and foremost - to Esteri and the packing crew THANK YOU for getting these great shirts out to all of us.

5 more weeks till the big weekend and TOAL.

To My Friend Kristina: I see and honor your hurt. I sense your bewilderment, and pain, when a place that has been, and should be, a safe harbor during the storm that is your life today - wasn't. A place that has been tolerant of sarcasim in the past - didn't. The injustice of being held accountable for a comment made in innocence and jest - when your life is already too full of injustice. I see and honor your pain.

To My Friend Stace: I see and honor your hurt. I can only imagine the terror of that day, and the fear that will follow for a lifetime. I sense your bewilderment, and pain, when a place that has been, and should be, a place of respect - wasn't. A place where friendships have bloomed was unfriendly. I see and honor your pain.

To My Friends the Gorilla-lovers and the Guerilla-haters: There is much to admire in such staunch support of friends in pain. I can only hope that I am so blessed when I am in need. Yet, such support can be hurtful of others.

Dear Friends, let us recognize the unintentional hurts we have caused each other. Let us find in this community the understanding and healing we each need. And let us remember how easy it is to misinterpret intentions when we are writing, when we can not see a face, hear the tone of voice, and immediately respond - I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.

.

Esteri this is just a wonderful statement.

Anyone else besides me heading out late tonight or early in the morning to stand in line for the new Iphone 3G ?????

I will be heading out around 2 am as well. Drove by my local AT&Tstore tonight at 7 and there was 1 person in line with their SUV backed in to a spot in front of the store with the backend open - raight a the front door. If I was the store manager I would go out and tell them to SHUT IT.

Good luck on your venture - I am still debating on the 8 or 16G
I think it makes more sense to do the 16g for $100 - for double the space.

 

[dahuffy]

So it's a prosthetic?

 

[crzy4dals]

MY FE gifts arrived - now to assemble.....

hmmm maybe I can take them with me to AT&T this morining to keep my busy!
