Happy Monday!!!

 

[bellelinus]

Hello Everyone
I am taking a short MUCH overdue break to Dis a little. My foot is not helping things but then again I am not able to follow the doctor's orders either.

My update: Chuck's last day was Friday, he left this morning to Georgia to get settled in his place to start his new job tomorrow. Meanwhile I am packing,cleaning and everything else. We load the truck Sat. morning where I will stay at a hotel for 2 days and fly out Monday morning to our brand new home in Myrtle Beach !!!

My Doctor will see me again on the 4th and I will have to find a foot Doctor down in SC where he will transfer records. He took alot of bone out and recovery is still looking like 5 months hopefully not in this BOOT !!!

Hi, Tina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bellelinus]

It is getting late and I did not have much time for this but could not resist.

Although the wenches would probably prefer the more relaxed Mr. Gibbs.

 

[The FairyGodmother]

Thanks Diane,

I actually had alot of fun making it although my wife thinks I'm nuts!

Hi Roger, Hi Lorri!

Peter,
Your talent is AWEsome. I knew you would be into the details. I can't wait to see her in person.

Thanks,

My next project will be Norrington from the first movie. I haven't decided on which rank yet.

Captain of Commodore?

Oh, yes this will be played by Jack, FINCANTIERRI

Which should it be ladies? I think the Captain costume is more dashing.

Laura, just want to make sure that Mark (disneypilot) will not bea wearing the same.

Neither Mark or I are doing POTC characters. I just have been so busy actually sewing for work that I am not planning on making costumes. I will probably have to just buy one already made. I wish I could afford the time and money to make some. I love details!!!

I think we are back to upside down here...back in Davy Jone's locker.


OMG! That is amazing!
I still don't have curtains in my kitchen because I hate the thought of cutting and sewing a straight hem!


.

I just happen to know someone who makes curtains. I'm just saying....

Wristband Info

I have tried to take a decent picture of mine, but I can't get it to show the print.

Any thoughts?

You could just copy the pic from the company website though, T. Or are you talking about a pic of the skull?

Laura, just want to make sure that Mark (disneypilot) will not bea wearing the same.

I thought Laura said they weren't going to do costumes.

It is getting late and I did not have much time for this but could not resist. (Mr Gibb's Pics)

That made me this morning.

I hate waiting in line for characters, so we've never met Capt Jack. I didn't know he didn't sign. Interesting.

He signed at our pirate night but we didn't have books so did photos only.

But yes the line was long....

57 Jacks X 1 peanut / 10,000 rock crabs = ???

oooh look a peanut......

oooh look a ticker below.....

Tom, you do a brilliant job with the first post - Thank you.

Monica, I'm looking for a variety of stuff. The shops around WDW usually have items (t-shirts, mugs, key-chains, etc.) that are just Florida related as well as Disney stuff that is non-WDW but indicates "Florida" or "Orlando". I'm really looking for a variety of things that I can bring back as souvenirs (sp?) for family and friends without breaking the bank.

You can always drive up Harbor to the Disney Outlet. I'll try to get specific directions and/or an address next time I go.

 

[smeecanada]

the conditions there right know just got me wondering what the options were, what might Disney do,etc - is this situation likely to be long term and affect us or to be short lived posturing??? ........."always prepared"!!!!...got to plan, you know!

Well, Disney won't go - if it's not safe for the passengers and crew. However, I don't think we need to worry much - DCL will take care of making sure we're not bored.

Doubt we'll stop in Panama due to prebooking the canal transit. What other places are near Aruba that DCL might stop at?

 

[allshookup]

Diane you forgot the math alert!!!

ooops sorry and I'm always one of the first to complain! My only excuse is that I was losing my mind with that darn math problem!

OMG! I just read about this in a novel by Michael Crichton called Next . Really scary now that this is posted. The book was listed as fiction but with elements of truth, in it its got a flourescent turtle, an ape that speaks in 3 languages and a talking parrot. Other than that - pretty interesting reading. I have it on cd if anyone is interested. Must read for those with a scientific mind. A bit of fluff for the mind with a dose of humanity in it.

That bunny is just odd. Sounds like a book my DH would like. I'll have to check into it. Thanks!

I think we are back to upside down here...back in Davy Jone's locker.

Lots of hockey this weekend. It was our league tournament for both kids. DS9's team made it to the championship game & played it close through 2 periods (down 2-1 at the end of the 2nd). Then got creamed 7-3. Oh well. It as a great season and 2nd place in the entire DC area isn't a bad thing! DS7's level doesn't keep score - so technically a jamboree, not a tournament, but he has 7 games this weekend. He got a hat trick in the last game!!!!


Congrats to DS for making it to the championship. Sorry they didn't win! Congrats to your other DS for the hat trick!


Diane!! Where was the MATH ALERT??????

...we really are in Davy Jones Locker...

57 Jacks X 1 peanut / 10,000 rock crabs = ???

I know me doing math? Who'd a thunk it!

Excellent! I'm booking the Lush package...here's hoping that they aren't on the same day!


I almost booked the complete package, except for the beer. I booked DH for that only. Can't stomach the stuff!

You could just copy the pic from the company website though, T. Or are you talking about a pic of the skull?

You can always drive up Harbor to the Disney Outlet. I'll try to get specific directions and/or an address next time I go.

Forgot about that one:
243 Orangefair Mall, Fullerton.

From Mousesavers.com
To get to Disney's Character Warehouse from Disneyland, go north on Harbor Blvd and cross Hwy 91. Make a right at Orangethorpe and another right at Pomona, which is a street that goes right into the Orangefair Marketplace shopping center. A Michael's store is right in front of you; drive toward it and then go left to get to the Character Warehouse, which is at the corner of the building.

Here's a coupon for 10% off http://www.thechamber.net/cgi-bin/foxweb.dll/wlx/dir/wlxcpn?ec=lbyklLsiprtbx4mpmc&ID=HNDgKiGb

I would love for a stop in Belize. Its on my must do list.

Good evening everybody!

Long time no post.

Took me most of this evening to upload these pictures but here is what I've been working on in my spare time over the last 2 months. Unfortunately I've been unable to post as much as I would have liked.

Let's see if this works:

This is the costume I made for Jack's daughter Nastassja

Elizabeth Swann Pirate King AWE (front view)

I'm in the process of getting boots, hope you enjoy the pics.

Pete what can I say but beautiful!!! You sure you would not rather be a full time costume desginer.

Group Tastings

Have you ever wanted to learn the difference between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc? Have you wondered whether the rule really is white with fish, red with beef? Does the term “shaken not stirred” mean anything to you other than James Bond ? Are you just as confused as I am.....Barley, Hops, Pilsner, Lager, Stout..... what does it all mean? “Lick, Slam, Suck” - no it's not x-rated

Thanks for both of you volunteering. I just e-mailed Laura for my choice.

I know you are busy but give me a call before you move. I am so happy for Chuck and you to find a beautiful home. I am just jealous you will no longer here to suffer through the winters with me.

Hello all!

this is gonna be a drive by - I have been trying to "ketchup", but am not there yet. Plus it is late and I gotta get ff the computer...

...anyway, Ecuador and Venezuela have ordered troops to the border of Colombia! I am not up on politics,etc in that part of the world, but have been watching since Rice's trip. Anyone have any thoughts on this will effect our Cartegena stop??? How do these things go in this part of the world? Vnezuela seems determined to go to war ... any thoughts on what this might mean?

I guess we will just have to put our faith in DCL. Now isn't that a scary thoguht after the handling of the ressies over a year ago and the WBPC excurions was in total chaos.

Ok by from the Elephant Bar. Late dinner so what else is new. In practice for repo. Short note from my iPhone. Guess sslloowww is better than no DIS.

We will want lots of details on the repo!!! Keep praticing,

Drat!
Since my first report on Alicia's shopping she's only added 3 blouses (90% off at $6, $7 and 25% off at $12.50)... and a couple pairs of shoes at 25% off for $20 and $30. Alicia was complaining today that everything was pretty well picked over now. However, she did pick up ONE of those shoes today. Plus she seemed really pleasant in demeanor from the days' wanderings.

I think Alicia is my new mentor!!!

Wristband Info

I know we had been talking about wristbands. Here is information on the company I used. I used wristbandconnection.com when I ordered wristbands for dd's school. I got the black/red (school colors) with printing on one side. I went with them because they seemed to be the only company who would give a price break for quantities under 1,000. 500 wristbands cost me $250.00 which is 50 cents each. Free shipping on orders over $50. They were very prompt. I don't know if it even took a week for the order to come. I ordered them last summer. The words were debossed or molded into the band. Sunken lettering. They have a cool font called "Bones"

I emailed them to ask about using own artwork and they will.

They also allow mixing sizes and colors as long as the text stays the same.

So here are the options based on ordering 500 wristbands.

1 Side Text Only-50 cents each
2 Side Text Only-54 cents each
1 Side Text & Pic-55 cents each
2 Side Text & Pic on front-59 cents each

The Fairy Godmother stole my idea but I was not allowed to use my DGD so I just gave the whole idea up.

How about Portobello, Panama? Yesterday on the History Channel they had the pirate program on and Portobello was a big pirate hang out.

all three of those ideas sound interesting!

that sounds cool too - would have liked to catch that show, will watch for a repeat!

 

[goofyforlife]

faith in DCL.

There's two words that don't belong in the same sentence lately....

I caught a bunch of the pirate show as i was straightening up the house somewhat.....

It was really good except they seemed to cut off the ending and clipped to another show. It was weird...
