8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #12

[lbgraves]

24dd & 17dd were talking the other day about hearing me tell their older brother *Be quiet now and you won't get in trouble.* *Please. Shut Up NOW* *Walk away and you won't get in trouble.*
I always warned him.......

It's good to know I'm not the only one who tries to warn them that the mess is about to hit the fan. You would think the steam coming out of my ears or my head spinning around would tip them off, eh?

Another Tween Entertainment Alert....

There is a thread on the main boards about the new Suite Life of Zack & Cody TV show (Suite Life on Deck - set on a cruise ship). Apparently the winner of the Radio Disney contest will be on the 8/28 Wonder with some of the "talent" & the first episode of the new show will premier on the Wonder sailing. The show is scheduled to premier (for all the little people) on Disney Channel 9/26.

I wonder if we will get a sneak peak as well??
My kids like the show and it is one that DH & I don't mind watching either.

I agree, it is a tolerable show!

 

[FINCANTIERI]

mmmhmmm



But have you ever lost any of his children??

Technically ...... No.

 

[lotsofboys]

I'm sorry to scare you! I always say there was a reason God didn't give me two boys in a row or any that are close in age!
In my experience the odd numbered years are the worse.......if there was just some way to sew their mouths shut!!!

Now you are scaring me, I say that SAME THING to the 15DSs, well one in particular and he just can't do it, has to have the last word no matter how many warnings I give him And his twin brother will even chime in that he's going to get in big trouble if he doesn't walk away! But I am living by the saying that God made teenagers so that it won't be so hard when they leave the nest

[FINCANTIERI]

As much work as Peter puts into the costumes I can't believe he will let y'all WEAR them!



What a shame......... (I'm a mom of 5 )

I buy Peter alcohol. Simple as that.

 

[cruisin'Mike]

Do not mention my name with any of yours!!!!!

Let us just blame Mike.............any Mike will do!!

HEY!

I resemble that remark!

Note to self...be sure to pack the sign.

 

[rillsung]

Cheryl, is that PLUS roaming charges? I thought when I had checked a few months ago it was the charges you listed plus roaming but this stuff really confuses me Thanks for posting for Tmobile.

Michelle

That probably doesn't include calling home though... Just local calls? Or does it? Guess I should call Verizon and get this turned on.

 

[allshookup]

Hey! Im a Mike! You meant that OTHER Mike right?

My DH is Mike too, but when we say it's Mike's fault...we do mean that OTHER Mike!

Note to self...be sure to pack the sign.

Wrong beverages in your hand though!!!

 

[justmestace]

I TOLD you guys I'd be the last to get documents.
The UPS guy took them to my office, but they had one of the other Mom's name on them....so I don't know who's dumber, the UPS guy, DCL for sending them that way, or my employees who told the UPS guy to take them to Sharon's house.
Sharon wasn't home.....she was having lunch with me!!!

So the UPS guy took them back to wherever they come from in Tempe, AZ.
Online it said something about trying to verify a correct name or address.
I called UPS and set them straight and supposedly they'll be back out on the truck tomorrow.
I guess I'll warn my employees.

 

[lbgraves]

Guess they shouldn't be expecting a bonus any time soon.

 

[justmestace]

Guess they shouldn't be expecting a bonus any time soon.

I keep telling them to be careful who they mess with...I'm the one who writes their paychecks!!
(Where's an evil witch smilie when you need one?)

OH I KNOW.... Not scary enough though.

[got2travel]

WHEW! Was out most of the day. Got home and got ready to see what's been happening and the power goes out. Was out for 5 hours. Finally came on right around 10pm.

Docs were here when I got home. I got the full package (minus PC daya in the itinerary) even though I checked in online. I did not print my docs yet though so maybe that's why I got the printed one in my package? Some info was filled in some was not??

CRUISE QUESTION! RE:Luggage!


I have a small bottle of Moet & Chandon

Like a bottle that has maybe 3 glasses....Could I pack that to bring with me???


(Lots of bubble wrap,cushion and ziploc!?)


Chrissie

You'll be fine putting it in your checked luggage. Have done this a few times with wine and soda within the last year.

Ask him does he really need to go here..or is this enough?

That's a perfect response!!!!

ATTENTION - PIRATES WHO ORDERED LANYARDS AND/OR PATCHES​

Take your pick...ELP meet...Friday night at GCH...Sat morning run to Toy Story...geez, you might get sick of me before we even board.

Hi Gang,

Got our docs today also - they arrived just before we left for our tour of Pixar Studios.
Pixar is really super - both of my older grandkids decided they wanted to work there!!

DH Paul has been so focused on his Pirate costume that I had to ask him if he planned to wear it the entire cruise - he hadn't given a thought to clothes for the other 14 days (except the pirate t-s*****)!!!!!

I have lists and more lists - and still have shopping to do - I hate shopping. Love eBAy and online shopping and Monica's help (an uber shopper)!!

Going to spend time w/DGKids this week - then next week finish up prep for the TOAL. Sounds good anyway!!!

You never told me what else you and Lori are still shopping for.

Hey Everyone!

A couple of questions:
1. I need a clarification....can we hang banners on the verandah while going through the Panama Canal? I want to make one, but don't want to waste time if we're not allowed. Also, we're in 5124....will they even take pictures of that side of the ship?
2. Just wondering....what kind of food during they have the BBQ on deck during the journey through the PC?
3. Has anyone heard if Mike Super is going to be on the cruise?

Thanks!

Howdy neighbor, well almost, we'll be down the hall in 5013.
Banners can go out during the PC crossing only, not the whole cruise.
It's been debated whether or not photos will be taken on both sides. Some say yes, others say no. Guess we won't really know until we are there.

From Laura (eeyorelvr10's) May blog, the PC BBQ:

Anyway, they had salmon kabobs, rib-eye steak, lemon-resemary chicken,BBQ short ribs, cous-cous, coleslaw, corn-on-the-cob, a cesear salad station and a bread station and desert which consisted of chocolate chip cookies, banana bread and pineapple upside down cake. Let me tell you they are really pushing the pineapple more so than ever.

Don't know about Mike Super. I think Laura asked and it may have been answered, but she asked so many questions, I'm losing track.

Hey Mike, you are precisely the reason you resemble that remark! I know you - remember! J/K

Hey, DCL is nothing if predictable. For the BBQ on the Mexican Rivera they had all the same items except they did change the cous cous to include spinach now. Also, they had about 3 different types of salsa which is 2 up from the May one.

This time around they also had baguette breads and the rest is pretty much the same. I believe Javeen said the BBQ's are the same each week so pretty much expect the same thing.

As for the pictures during PC day. I noticed that the ones that had banners or something hanging got the most pictures taken. In May, they had photographers on both sides of the locks. For the Gatun Lock they were on the port side and for the Pedro Migual and Miraflores Lock they were on both sides. Actually, after we passed Miraflores, (God let that be the last lock) I noticed when I was at the back that the photogrphers were in the middle of the two locks. For the other locks, I believe they had photogs on both sides the WB first lock was Gatun Lock and they were on the port side (left).

If you can make sense of that nonesense. Moral of the note is if you want pictures, plant a flag, banner or mickey hands. As for me? I plan on bringing an umbrella.

Oh yeah, saw some smart woman in Puerto Vallerta with a regular 99 cent bottle sprayer spraying her kids with water after the dolphin swim. My jaw dropped. Here we are paying lots of $$ for those ones from WDW and DL or those expensive misters and here she upstages everyone with ones that I have in my laundry room. NOTE TO SELF: Don't forget the bottle sprayer. If you don't have one, get one from the dollar store - they sure will be a welcome relief on that day.

OK, on to more skimming.

This is all good info! I am so glad you went on a few of these cruises so you can prepare us~

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

hey...are mike & mike..brothers?...that would expalined....alot of

..mood swings,


seriously...making mental health...work. my intruder problem. [ and
him hitting a nerve..with those..wise cracks..against veterans ...has
provided the motivation..for finding the right corrective measures. ]

...he thought he was being ..slick...by making false complaints..using
"a boundary dispute'. here's where reality & a lil'redirecting....
can be such an effective limit setting...when i
spoke..with the police captain....i informed..him...that he "showed"
the officer..the marker...see?....he using....that ''excuse"...in order
to...harass us. the truth will set you free. & prevent distractions.

as i told..the professionals..surlivence team...even after catching him,
we...do not expect..him to stop. so we don't plan on not being ready
...for any potential acting out.

..wow, @ work. rx. drug seekers....are so predictable. they followed
the same behavior..patterns....like rabbits..running...in circles. they
always..goes back....where they begun. and even though...this is
boring..it is also very useful...in redirecting. oh, he told..me..you're
making me..mad..something..you don't want to do?! right, do you know
how often..we get this ? and what..was he getting mad..over?, ...
reminding...that to get "admitted"..he told..the dr. he wanted to "get
off"...narcs. and here he is threatening for more. sad.

however, you should..see the thank you cards...we get. some are
pretty amazing...like..a vietnam..vet..."you guys..changed my life. i can't
believe...how much...happiness... lil' things...can do."

..* tell you a secret...this feed back..is our guide.

 

[justmestace]

That's what I need...a job with positive feedback!!

Not once has anyone in my family thanked me for doing such a great job of cleaning the toilets.

Just havin' fun with ya, Lil'Grumpy!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

That's a perfect response!!!!

GOsh - this makes absolutely no sense to me - I'm going to have to bribe Des to lunch so she fills me in on all the details. Not tomorrow though, dd 15 gets her moles removed tomorrow and looks like she may to go in for emergency wisdome teeth removal. Lovely, looks like its raining again. SIGH! Oh well, when it rains, it pours!
