NEW ROOM NUMBER!! Our new room number is 6645. This is the room that "didn't exist" on Friday... :lmao: I sure hope we didn't go from the lifeboats to a black hole... :confused3

Leaving your deck 2 peeps? :confused3 Oh well, at least we will still see you around. :thumbsup2
Glad you were able to move to a better room for y'all! :)
 
won my fish extender auction on ebay...

one more thing off the list!

DW finally found the Wii Fit. Has some fun on the ski jump!

:banana: :banana: :banana:

Congrats on the new room.:yay: Make sure to e-mail Juile or Mike of your room number change!!:flower3:
 

I finally caught up! LOL!

DH had arranged for some of my family to be here this afternoon for a b-day party for me -- I would have waited until next weekend when our other 2 children could have been here! LOL!

He also gave me my b-day gift early.... I got a GPS!!! :banana: :banana:

I had been wanting one for quite some time but, dh thought the windows were too small. This one is a little over 5" wide. It was a surprise since I thought my new bike was my Mother's Day & B-day gift! LOL!

I know this week is the start of many B-days here on the board... So HAPPY BIRTHDAY late July peeps!!!
 
ATTENTION ALL PIRATES!!!!!

I need room information from the following pirates at Capt's dining:


Amous
Captain Crash (Judy's BIL)
Maine Jennifer (parents)
Cinderella Mom (the other two families sitting with you)


Hole in seating was filled......

Thanks....

~K

K...

I expect an answer from Judy by Monday or tuesday.... long story...

OK...

We broke down and paid $13 for a day of internet access... even though it's not exactly OUR money (it's her compny's money) we treat the decision as if it were our money.

SO - I bought 2 things off ebay tonite - I got some BOSE in-ear head phones for about $30 shipped and I got ANOTHER battery for my DVD Camcorder. Cheryl...tell your husband something happened to the first battery I bought for $18... or so .... so I am trying another one that looks exactly like the ones sold at best buy and are NOT sony... I paid $20 +$6 shipping from a seller in Florida. Hopefully it will work - otherwise I'll be buying a real SONY battery soon.

We had a really nice DIS meet up here in SF..... I'll post a few quick pictures before I have to run and catch up with the family at the pool here at the Marriott in SF. I'd mention a bit more but Alicia and the kids just stepped out of the room now.... and the pictures are already cut and pasted into place below....


At left was our lunch at the Cafe in SF - on the right here are some of the girls lounging....

I really gotta get going....​

Cheers...
 
I finally feel like I have accomplished something this week. This weekend I have booked rental cars in CA and FL, booked our hotel stay in FL the night we get off the ship, and booked Super Shuttle for CA to our hotel. Now I can focus on finishing the FE goodies and looking into the ports a bit more...of course there will always be packing but at least we have places to go and ways to get there for the entire trip now. :)
 
Thanks for the font ideas, I'll look into them tomorrow


Ok, so after my moaning and groaning this morning, I got some things accomplished.

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

  • Got all school supplies ready for DS
  • Got 3 new school shirts (they wear uniforms) plus he can use some from last year
  • Found clip on hoop earings for DS's costume
  • Got a mini can of Lysol (this was really hard to find - finally found it at Walmart at the checkout aisle)
  • Got me 2 new dresses (each less than $9) one can pass for semiformal although not really what I was looking for
  • Got me shorts for zip lining - hadn't thought about this until someone else posted
  • Got a new rolling duffle bag since I discovered the stitching was coming out on one of ours
  • Found a supplier for my FE gifts at half the cost of others I was looking at, will call them tomorrow to order

OK...

... just back from the pool.... Alicia is in a mild huff... Julianna left her googles at the pool and Alicia was unable to find them. Good thing our room is close to the pool - as Mom and aughter are going back again to try and find them...

At ny rate - we spent all of the day within 150 yards of the hotel... there was a park and playground near by - plus a kids museum/activity center called the Zumeum I think... nice, modest in size but packed with hi-tech activities. Here are a few quick photos from the day...

Below is the pedestrian bridge going towards the playground/Zeumian place - it is visible as the inverted cone building on the right

Below are pictures of the playground with Alicia and J coming down that giant slide

At left are Alicia and Kalea running up towards the slide above... snd at right is a hoffbrau cafeteria across from the Westin St Francis off Union Square where we got a great snack of Turkey leg, Spag and meat balls, plus soup.

Now I am going back to see if "I" can find those lost goggles....

Daddy comes through in a pinch!

I found them after approaching the Marriott spa staff who said they had already closed the pool and denied me entry (initially)... and I commented it was NOT 11PM yet and that I'd like to look for those goggles again. Well... the girl at the front desk commented with just a bit of edge (I thought) that THEY had looked.... and my spouse had looked twice and my daugher had looked as well... and I said - lets' open it up so I can look too. SOmetimes I have a different perspective and find things they simply miss. WELL.... I found them!.... and now I've freshly chastised my dear spouse NOT to jump the gun on little things like this. Not that she raised caine or anything ... just that ... after all... they're JUST a set of $8 goggles after all? You see... there IS a difference in how we approach things between Alicia and I after all....

Daddy Triumphs.... and the lime light now gently fades on this stage....

Well you know I won't turn down those extra lobsters!!!!

I need to give a huge shout out to Lisa (Radioclash2) and Julie (Bellelinus).

They compiled the roster list info and the FE exchange list info. I just took their lists and combined them with the deck plan.
Is the roster list only for deck 2 or was the others on the other thread? Just curious........
I'm a bit behind... I came back and you were already on a new thread! I had my friend and her kids over today- all day swimming party! hehe

Swimsuits - right now I only have 1, been looking for a 2nd but just can't find anything that looks decent at a decent price. Then again, last year I only had 1 suit and only wore it once when I went snorkeling on CC. I'm just not a pool person so I won't have to worry about putting on a wet suit.


Can someone please kick me into gear?? I swear my planning is going as if I still have 20 months to do it....well maybe I'm moving at the 10 month pace, but definitely not as if it were next month. I have no clue what I want for door signs, and every time I sit down to work on it, I end up spending time just creating clip art (like the swinging Mickey yesterday). I go shopping for the odds and ends we need, then don't buy because I don't want to spend money. Start on spreadsheeps, but then remember I have to clean up my hard drive so I can send my computer in to HP. So, nothing gets done....wonder if I may have adult ADD??? Can't seem to keep focused on 1 task. [/LEFT]
I only had one swimsuit last year and also only wore it on CC. It's not that I'm not a pool person, it's that I'm not a wear my swimsuit in front of people if I can help it- type person. LOL
I'm kinda like you- I keep doing half of this, half of that... and not really getting everything accomplished. But little by little each day I'm getting more done! :)



HI,

There was a great suggestion in Chat - that although we weren't able to get a Palo Brunch = what about all of us havng lunch together at Parrot Cay?
Our Brunch was to be on 8/23 - how about having Lunch the same day??

I'll pm the 24 Brunch Wenches'. Are there any other Wenches' interested????

What do y'all think, Wenches??
Sounds great to me! I wasn't part of the original brunch group but I"d love to join all of you in Parrot cay- just tell me when/what day(s)

Cheryl,
The date was only a suggestion - in fact the idea of a Wenches' Lunch is only a suggestion!!!!

I think it would be amazing to have the whole Parrot Cay dining room become a Wenches' Lunch venue!!

What date is good for the majority of Wenches??????
Any date is good for me- as long as it doesn't interfere with the ice cream eating contest. hehe DH says he's gonna win and well... my DH doesn't get all that involved in things usually so I'm EXCITED that he actually wanted to do it and said he'd win. This I have to see (and take pictures of) LOL

Thank you so much!!! :) I had given up entering codes there because all of them seemed to be expired or didn't apply. This is at Avis BTW. :) I was able to book a minivan for $58!!!! Now I don't have to worry about cramming all of our luggage into a little car & DH getting upset. :) The regular rate is $114 at Avis or up to $141 elsewhere. :cool1: BTW, when I confirmed the reservation it showed up as a total of $114. I called to find out why and the person said that in order to confirm with that coupon code I had to use my CC...which was fine with me. She modified the reservation to show the change. :woohoo:
Hmm, can I get that from port to MCO? That sounds cheaper than anything we could do! It's not too hard to drive from port to MCO is it? I mean it's not easy to get lost is it?

Our Home & School Assoc puts together school supplies for those who want to buy them. We ordered the supplies back in May. I'm hoping the ex will go pick them up.
Our schools used to do that but stopped last year. Major bummer! Was so much easier that way but apparently not enough people were buying the sets so they stopped doing it. :(
Fortunately in past years I really stocked up (because I get sick and tired of having to pay higher prices for stuff when they ask for MORE AND MORE AND MORE throughout the school year!) so I'm okay missing the major sales on most things like crayons, glue, etc. I have bought the older two new case it 3" binders though... that's the biggest task in finding those at that size- without paying a fortune- so I feel I accomplished a lot already! hehe

NEW ROOM NUMBER!! Our new room number is 6645. This is the room that "didn't exist" on Friday... :lmao: I sure hope we didn't go from the lifeboats to a black hole... :confused3
Congrats on getting the room you wanted!

OMG is today your birthday? I MISSED IT?
wahhhhhhh
Well congrats on the GPS and hope you had a great birthday!
And thanks- cause I am a late july birthday peep. Late as you can get. LOL

Oh and Stephanie, can you check your email and let me know when you get a chance? Pretty please? :)

Whoa what a list. How many busses are we using? That's a lot of peeps (and who knows how much luggage for all those peeps. LOL)
 
Cruise Question

Those of you with small children, what excursions do you plan to do at each of the ports?

Right now we just have plans in Cabo (Family Resort & Pool Escape), PV (Paradise Beach Adventure), and Aruba (Seaworld Exploroer). We have a 3.5yo and a 15mo. and options - through DCL - seem rather limited and I'm not sure I'm that comfortable with some of the choices after reading reviews from WBPC and MR cruisers.
 
Tom thanks for posting the pics from our Dismeet. Pete was waiting to see his picture with a mustache on it and a pirate hat. Glad you and your family are having a great time in S.F. See you on the ship.- Genny
 
well..its exciting ..to see..everyone..doing stuff! :yay:


..it got me wanting...to tell my lil'sweetie..to get it in gear...but

..then i came ..to my senses..before, she starts..asking ?'s..:laughing:


..my favorite..part..was the "swim suits" discussion..or rather....


..the competetion....{ wishful thinking?} . now that's ...might..be a

magical ..moment [ :confused3 - no honey, that's cpt. crash..asking

me....to put a plug..in for being a bathing beauty judge? ]..pixiedust:



wow..i 'hve been sicker than a j. depp's 's willie... :ewok: today.
[ good thing..it wasn't boarding day. ]



















*
:flower3: ..i read alot of the recent storys...@ work. alot of them
were very moving. law enforcers...& families...., i kno the job..from
experiences...and how dangerous it can be. for all those dedicated
persons..fighting....for all of us, i wish...i could :hug: ...the day in,
day..out...stressors..are ..in many ways....ptsd waiting to happen.

..special "people"..esp. their families.

..what should we expect..from our educators? ....no child should fear
ridicule..or worst...from their peers. if we have teachers..that cannot
recognize trouble.. minds?..or simply turning a blind eye?


....:teacher: , i may have blow, here & there..and as some noticed..i
have fun slinging ....different ways of thinking..however, i must say..
...being part ..of this group...."has been amazing experience..as educational.

..& it was based...on learning..new insights....that our society ..would
benefit...so much.....if we just "used"...this type of knowledge base.
...[ i can't help..feel.....:scared: & :sad1: ..@ some of the awful..ob
stories....&...way too many, toooo many, :scared: !]

why..i harp...& probably..way too much, :blush: ? if we could/would tap
into..the common sense ...from our "ways" of thinking.....so much we
tragedies..could be prevented. { nothin more heart sickening..hearing,
the same..mistakes...over , & over...} especially..when the basics are
not being adhered to, :headache:

now, i'll share..a cross over , mental health....projection, that i have no
doubts..could saved livies..from gunshots' wounds? [ well, i was a combat
nurse too ,so that training....was..important to. ]....what is the major
caused..of death?..blood loss. * the challenge..is from being internal,
and not..being able..to place..bandages...to reduced the loss. but we
have.."vaso-constrictors drugs, & muscle contractors..meds, ..&
support drugs..like clotting agents...." a whole group."....and instead
of waiting for the heart to stop...with those long-intra cardic needles,
..why not...inject..thru the injury site..& modified the needle like
a spray? the 2 objectives....arrive alive...& enough...to get
thru the surgery...without having to endured crises. [ arrests] .
...( when i was the code nurse...i used to "visit" the acute wards...
..and start their diffcult iv's..& reviewed...exactly..what i wanted
the staff..to get "ready"...before codes. seconds..can /often mean
the diffenent..between..."preserving the abilty to think".

...preventing...unnecesary..pain. :flower3: dear lisa....oh my. well
the good news..."that was probably..more painful for you..than your
lil'tiger....[ kids are amazing tough-:thumbsup2 ]......* & i do believe...
the nurse..was probably ...was doing her best. "dehydration"...makes
veins..disappear...faster then chocolate shouffles. { sorry-:blush: }

..however, most hospital..have "specialists"..., like those doing nuclear
med.,,,hospitals..if utilized...their best available resources..could reduced
