This was my first chance to get here today ... well, tonight now Glad to see that you all out in SoCal are doing ok. I was worried about you, but I couldn't get onto the Dis from work today. Dumb server is running slower and slower.

We got our Docs yesterrday And now even my KIDS are asking me when I'm going to start packing

Still not sure there's enough time between now and the 15th to get everything done that I need done

I'm blaming the CA earthquake for our lousy traffic tonight.

Driving home after Loma Prieta was an experience I won't forget. The freeways were completely empty. Everybody switched to surface streets. Add the fact that there were basically no traffic lights, it meant for a very slow drive home.

And the driving pattern under freeway overpasses was pretty funny - people stopped before or after the overpass, but nobody wanted to wait directly under the freeway.

Is there a time where there is less talking?

I'm sure some of you Dis in your sleep!

Chrissie

You mean you don't?

Just finished printing up a couple of T-Shirts (bought the black ones, but I'm good enough with transfers to do the white ones myself).

Also completed what I'm confident will be considered the cruise's ugliest fish extender (made from an old-Tshirt, decorated using T-Shirt transfers). I do this (of course), as a public service - by having the ugliest fish extender, nobody else has any cause to be embarassed by theirs.

Ummmm....

I am sure it looks wonderful! It will do the job it needs to!

I don't think anyone could jump in the pool on the ship...it's like a glorified bathtub!


Chrissie

I'm not sure I would use the word "glorified" to describe any of the pools.

Can someone PM me some help with the Pirate Zone website. It says there is no username corresponding to my email and vice versa. I thought I remembered my password, but I didn't, so, I tried to get a hint emailed, but that's when it said I didn't have an account...

Sorry I can't help, PM tom31b

It is describing the bathtub...definately not the pool!

So I finally made it to the orthopedic doctor today. I now have a walking boot on my foot. Although the doc talked about putting a screw in my foot to hold the bone together and then having me in a cast for 8 weeks. I have another appointment in 6 weeks to check my foot to see if it is healing.

So I hope that my foot heals without the screw.

It will make the trip interesting.

Hope it heals well

Yup, works for me

Clearly it was a Mike or two.....

See, if I forget someone's name (which is likely to happen on this trip with so many pirates) my best bet is to go with the name MIKE, right
My odds of getting it right are better
You Mikes need some nicknames

Forgive me Father for I plan on sinning????

Ooo

Just got a call I start at Bed and Bath tomorrow!

[JoiseyMom]

Is the soap and shampoo good enough to worry about getting it back from the cruise???

Yea

 

[mkygrl]

Cool employee discount

Oh Yeah! With us buying our first home in the near future..we will need the discount!

Hey Diane!

George Michael is in DC tonight. Do you want to borrow my shower?

Why is he stopping by on the way to the concert?

I knew you knew things....but I didn't know you knew people too!

Why's that?

I don't think pushing him into a shower is going to be enough to clean him up!

Got that right!

Ooo

Just got a call I start at Bed and Bath tomorrow!


Chrissie

Woot! Congrats!

I have started to get the books in order for the cruise.. luckily I am in the book swap to I won't need to bring all the books for the 2 weeks. But I ordered the david mcCullough - the path between the seas - the creation of the panama canal 1870-1914 from amazon the other day and it came.. yeah!!! now to hide it so i won't start reading it before i go..


Andrew.. what other panama canal books do you recommend??

 

[JoiseyMom]

Glad you are OK, since you were the first person that I thought of when we learned the location.





Thank you to every ones well wishes.



Ummm, don't try to pin the blame on me What you think I have angered the gods?




Yes the cell phone system was down for awhile and it was due to overuse not any damage.



Actually Chrissie we do have what we call "Earthquake weather" When it gets really hot (100+) around here usually in September or October. Most people that live here think this is when most earthquakes happen. But according to Lucy Johnson, our local earthquake expert at Cal Tech, there is no correlation and they can happen anytime.

Our Story:
Yesterday we went a local Lenscrafters store looking for some new sunglasses. Found a pair that I really liked but the wrong color. So they found the color that I liked in Northridge. Today we take off to Northridge (you might remember this as the site of the big quake in 1994 that killed a bunch of people). So we are standing in the Northridge Lenscrafters store when we started to feel the floor moving under our feet. It was a weird sensation and realized that we were having an earthquake. This one was different than most in that it rolled for maybe 10 seconds and almost stopped and then got a lot stronger. All of a sudden we realized 1) we are in Northridge where they still get a lot of quakes since 1994 and 2) the store we are in is covered in mirrors. Everyone makes a quick but calm exit out to the parking lot. We notice that all of the street lights are swaying back and forth as well as the cars. We look across the street and there are people everywhere coming out of buildings. We could tell from the shaking that this one was at least a 5 (after living through so many you get good at guessing the magnitude) but it was a roller, my favorite kind, versus a jerky one like the Northridge one of 1994, my least favorite kind. Anyway we found out that it was in Chino Hills 40-50 miles SE of us. So we went and had lunch at the Northridge Mall and parked in the structure that collapsed in 1994. You never know maybe we can have a little 3 or 4 while you all are here just so you can say you have lived through one.

Umm....can I pass on that please!! Glad everyone is ok though!! First thing I did when I heard was call DS23...he is stationed up at Edwards!! He said he didn't feel anything!! Guess the vibrations from his motorcylce make him immune!!

 

[tom31b]

Yeah, yeah, yeah . . . see the post right ahead of yours. I've already apologized!

Just out of curiosity, so that I do not have to keep apologizing for things, can I just "pre-apologize" for any future calamities?

Can we pre-confess our sins?

 

[blesidangl]

HEY EVERYONE WELL, HERE IS THE UPDATE FOR MY DD6 DRESS. WE WON ON EBAY, YAH. SO EXCITED HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE FINE AND SHE WILL WEAR IT. YAH...I am so EXCITED. I will just be more excited when it comes to the house. I just got to believe nothing will go wrong. CROSS YOUR FINGERS. everything just goes smooth.

Be sure to read the first post of the threads you've requested in. Some of the designers are no longer customizing but allow you to take their blank designs and add your own words. Also look at the last several pages. If all you see are requests and no designs posted, then that person probably is not designing at the moment.

KristineN seems to not be designing right now. I have seen her post elsewhere but not on her cruise magnet thread. Not sure what's going on there.

I've gone through many photobucket accounts and picked out some blank designs. Once I get the time (yeah right!) I'll add my own words. A very simple way to do that is in PowerPoint. Open a blank template, insert the cruise picture of choice, insert a text box, add you words, choose your font, color, etc.

OMG!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I have been going nuts trying to figure out some free programs for graphics...but I haven't had the time or patience. This is great!! I will have magnets!!! Time to PLAY!!!!
