[Stepht5]

Laura, your pics are wonderful! Maybe you weren't there when Billy was hittin' on me. That was before Richard went on stage. Or maybe I spoke too soon!

If anyone is interested Walgreens has a special on 4x6 pics 10 cents each. Runs till Oct 4th. If you do it online the code is DIME.

Thanks! I'll have to see if they use Kodak or Fuji printing!

 

[Stepht5]

Laura,

I used edit and put the correct names on one of your pics -- I hope that is ok!

ANd anyone is welcome to do that to my pics, also!!!!

They use Kodak.

Hey Laura, are you (and Lisa) on Mac's by any chance? Lemme go fire up one and see if it can play the vids.

EDIT: My mac plays the vids from the site with the Safari Quicktime plug-in just fine

Andy

Sorry but lots of friends have tried to convert me to MAC. Not a chance here.

 

[lbgraves]

I'm so frustrated, I cannot upload the newest version of Adobe Flash and I cannot see the slide shows that CruzingMike and AndyR made. Can anyone help or have they had this problem before? Any ideas?

Sorry that you are having problems with it too, Laura. I gave up. I have the version that they posted and reinstalled it and still no luck.

we were discussing David's band myspace page in chat, just thought I'd post it since I spent so much time trying to find it again

Thanks Monica!!!

Cool, he's Canadian. Didn't know he had a band. He was a good M/C - I still prefer Ian though.

Did anyone get a good pic of the CM group at the Pub Night when they all posed at the end? I didn't have my camera with me and I need a copy for the scrapbook. Need to try and post some pics to the pirate board this weekend.

I have the entire video which John will be sending off to Tom31 because our format from mini DVD is not liked on smug mug.

Ian was a craaazyyy man. I've never seen someone with so much energy.

Andy

I miss Ian too!!! He put me up to play several tricks on other CM like Brent.

Ian and Pikey were on our cruise in AUG07 on the Wonder. Man are they a good team. DH and I laughed so much in those 4 days. Hope/wish Ian would come back to DCL.

I think Ian was just as good if not better than some cruise directors. He was a very people person.

Sending Hugs to my friends!

Hey Cheryl..Brendan was actually mentioning you the other day..He thought you were very funny!

Chrissie

Tell Brendon......................John does not always laugh at my antics!!!

Do it - I am working towards moving there in 2010.

I will be there in 2012.~~John will be retiring at the end of 2011. Right after we sell our house......we will be moving somewhere near Orlando.

 

[micmse2003]

Talk to you all soon

EVERYONE - I have not abandoned you nor moved one. I am dealing with a bunch of stuff right now - the FIL business may unfortunately be coming to a close soon enough. He has not responded well to the chemo and we are now in the process of attempting to change things over to our names. Consequently, I may be getting ready to take some tests real soon here.

On a bright note, I may have mentioned that DD was going to Europe in April? Remember I was upset because I couldn't go? Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed but as of now, I have put down a deposit to "shadow" DD and so I (with God's grace) may be accompanying her to Madrid, Zaragoza, Barcelona, , Carcassonne, Provence, Avignon, Nice, French Rivera, Pisa, Florence, Assisi and the ROME - I'M GOING BACK TO THE SISTENE CHAPEL!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I believe we may be hitting Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri too. So, I guess prayer does help.

Oh folks, got to hunt down some kids, talk to you all soon I hope. AND yes, I still intend on posting if you all want some pictures still. Just lots going on and not enought time to do it. I just finished unpacking my souvenir box today and am almost done passing them on. Hey - I may be slow but it will eventually get done.

Later all

Laura.......sorry to hear about FIL. Tell Steve we wish him the best. He will be in our prayers.

I think the Tequila tasting made me forget the name of the church. I did not write it down either,

I will take a look at the pictures(maybe borrow a few !!)

When thinks get a little less hectic...give me a call.

 

[micmse2003]

I added a few more pictures from John's mini DVD to all our galleries. Just thought there might be some more pictures of other peeps. There is a great one of Father Mike by the Hard Rock in Columbia.

John just downloaded all our mini dvd clips to several DVD'S. We will be sending them off to Tom31(thanks Tom) so he can add to smug mug!! John and I both gave up.

I thought John was a sweetheart!

Nope although Steve is tired of hearing me complain about my laptop. Since I have gotten back, its gotten slower and slower then ever. He finally said last night that he is thinking of getting me a MAC. At first I was happy until I started to realize how many pictures I'd have to transfer over. I told him to wait, I know that it will probably be better but man, I'm not sure. Windows sucks but at least I can sometimes figure things out. If I go Mac - he's already said I'm on my own.

Laura,

I used edit and put the correct names on one of your pics -- I hope that is ok!

ANd anyone is welcome to do that to my pics, also!!!!

Thanks Steph, it was late when I was updating, I knew I might be wrong but was counting on someone to help out!

Sorry that you are having problems with it too, Laura. I gave up. I have the version that they posted and reinstalled it and still no luck.

Yeah Lisa, I'm so tired of downloading and retrying that I nearly threw my laptop at the wall. Then realized it might not actually be me. So glad I didn't do it. I can just myself explaining to DH how in the world the laptop ended up in a million pieces. Cuz Lord knows, I have no temper.

 

[arlenesp]

Laura, my kids both use macs. I don't think it is that more difficult. If you need any help they can advise you.
The name of the church may be in the details of the excursion. I will look to see if I still have it.

Shannon it's on its way.

 

[cruisin'Mike]

I'm so frustrated, I cannot upload the newest version of Adobe Flash and I cannot see the slide shows that CruzingMike and AndyR made. Can anyone help or have they had this problem before? Any ideas?

I put the slideshow into photobucket to see if that will work for you. I don't know if it will make a difference or not, but you can give it a try.


ETA: I had to click on "Replay" a bunch of times to get it to start at the beginning, but it did work on my computer. Of course, this is the computer that I made it on in the first place, so that may not mean anything.

 

[wheelerkidz3]

your video is great too mike! what song is that...and where from?
i seem to be piling all these songs into my music library...now if i would only sit down and edit all my pictures, so i could make a video!
does anyone know what the song used during fantasmic was called? how do you guys search for the music used in the parks and such? i try to search diff things, but usually come up with nothing!

 

[eeyorelvr10]

OK Acapulco is done. Now on to the other days. Ignore the blurry ones. I'm embarrassed to download them. I was going to download them one by one but had a lot of pictures then figured I could delete them if I downloaded the whole folder but haven't figured out that one yet. When I hit delete photo - nothing happens or I get the message - I am not logged in and or I have no clearance. Oh well, not everyone's perfect right?

 

[paulasillars]

Oooohhh Maybe Disney will go to New Zealand some day... The only place to see Penguins!

Granted the best pic we got was of a stuffed one...

We have both the yellow eyed (hoiho) and the little blue penguins not far from here. They are so cute!

I saw penguins in the Galapagos too - tropical penguins, just seems weird to me but heck, if I had a choice, I'd choose the warmer location too LOL

I got the same message. Sometimes I can delete them. Last time I uploaded, when I went over the photo an x appeared at the bottom of the pic. That worked.

There is a website that has the audio and video of many park rides and shows...including the Fantasmic in CA. It isn't on my laptop so I will ask DH when he gets home today and post it. It is a really great site.

Guest password doesn't allow delete.... tell me which ones and I will delete them.

Also, I have researched the video issue, apparently it is a known problem, but it happens so sporadically, they are having trouble figuring it out. It is either a connection (i.e. internet provider) or security (i.e. settings on your computer) issue, and they are working on it. Sorry about the problems. Some of the things that may be causing problems are ad blocking programs (which block flash sometimes) and parental controls.

It's from the 100 Years of Magic Celebration (2001). I think it's just called "Share a Dream Come True". I have it on a promo CD with just that song. I'm not sure where exactly I got it though.

Finally got DH to put photos on smug mug & rather than split it up he's dumped the lot into the folder some-one originally created because they couldn't work out where to put them! I'm too much of lady to put in here what I called him & he had the cheek to moan it took ages - what do you expect if you upload over 100 photos, most of which are of no interest to anyone else as they are pics of us or the kids! Anyway - rant over. Did try to delete some & moves ome but failed miserably in that quest so apologies again. If I get more time, I'll try again later
