8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #5

[bellelinus]

I am not trying just want to help someone else

OK, here is the deal. I posted and had 1999. Went back to edit it and suddenly I am 2000. I did not mean to do this. I promise I will not steal any more.

Sure, Roger!!!! And you just happened to be on during the run, too, right?? Lisa, I was sure you were going to get it . . .

OK guys - here is another reminder -

Calling All - this is a rallying call to ensnare you on one of the more fun-loving and memorable activities on the high seas. Make your cruise that much more memorable by joining other pirates in making one of your fellow crewmates' trip. Become a Secret Mickey. Not much is required - just a bit of imagination and a sense of adventure.

Our version of SM is similar to what many are familiar as Kris Kringle or gift exchange. Since this cruise is 15 days, you submit your names and some interesting information about yourselves and we pass that information to someone on the other end who has agreed to supply you with a surprise "gift" in your fish extender or other form of "mail/gift" holder.

We will also be holding a kids SM if you have any of the small pirates travelling with you. Just provide us with the same information as requested for the adults.

Once you receive a name, you agree to supply your SM with 5-6 gifts throughout your cruise with at least one being a main gift. You can either drop off in their fish or somehow get it to them without them seeing you. At the end of the cruise, at an allotted date (usually the last sea day) , we will gather together to unveil who your SM is. The fun is in trying to figure out who is surprising you. We suggest that the gifts be at least around $25-$30. I know that earlier versions have stated $30-$35 dollars but I think that if your creative - you can find many a great bargain which will bring a smile to your SM's face. Besides - as you all know - I am about saving $$$ (ROTFLMBO)

So, if I have enticed your imagination and would like more info - please feel free to contact me (eeyorelvr10) or Paula (pbader) who has graciously agreed to help me in this venture.

All you need to do is submit to me the following info:

DIS NAME:
REAL NAME:
CITY/STATE YOU LIVE IN:
E-MAIL ADDRESS: (will be kept secret from public)
CABIN:
FAVORITE DISNEY CHARACTER/S:
LIKES/HOBBIES:
DISLIKES:
ALLERGIES:
WHICH DISNEY CRUISE IS THIS:
ANY CELEBRATIONS ON THIS CRUISE AND DATE:
ANY SPECIAL NOTES:

OK - this should do it for now. Think about it and then pm or send me your info at LauraVEll@aol.com BUT PLEASE BE SURE TO PUT IN THE SUBJECT LINE - EBPC SM SIGN-UP - or something similar. Also, if I am unreachable - contact Paula (pbader) e-mail to follow soon.

Thanks All - hope to hear from you soon!

Laura, how much ahead of the cruise will we be assigned our person? It would be great to know sooner rather than later so that if they are not someone we know well we can watch for clues about things they like in their regular postings . . .

It was late...
I need help with the craft end of the project. Does anyone know where I can get instructions on making animal models?

When I google 3D animal models, I don't really get the info I need.

How difficult would papier mache be?

TIA

Paper mache is not hard, but takes many days as it needs to dry between layers. Family fun website should have a good recipe; I used to get the magazine when the boys were young and used that to make projects.

 

[dahuffy]

Good Morning!

 

[tiggrbaby]

Good Morning!

Love it!

Chrissie, it really is a small world. My Nana lives on Newfield St. I have no idea where the Natick Collection is. Guess I'll end up settling for whatever icecream Nana happens to have in the freezer.

They do sell some in the local stores! Good luck!

The flu hit our house this week & so far DS has it. He missed school the last couple of days, but his fever broke & other than being really congested, he appears to be feeling better.

Glad he is feeling better!

We ordered the Wii for his birthday & it just arrived today so he & DD are having a ball playing.

Love the WII

DD is upset that one of her good "friends" is having a birthday party tonight, but she wasn't invited. Breaks my heart!

That sticks! And it is so tough to say anything that would comfort

Plus she got her report card today & it is the first time in three years she hasn't made the principal's list. She got a B+ in advanced math & it dropped her out of the running. We are trying to let her know we are still proud of her, but yet it is hard not to let our disappointment show.

Just keep doing what your doing!

I have this theory that all cat people are inherantly good people.
Speaking of cats. I may have to amend my signature. We have a new cat!
A few weeks ago we noticed this big kitten but not full grown cat playing in the water runoff thing across the street. No one claimed him and we got a whole lot of chorses of "I'm allergic", "I do not like cats" etc from all the neighbors. OK, so let's leave him out here to fend for himself. Fortunately with my family no stray stays that way for long.
It started with me scooping him out of the drainage ditch right before a bad hail storm. Next thing I knew Bill had food, water, bed, litter box and toys in the garage. At that point I knew it was a lost cause.
I call the Vet, make and appt and $185.00 later- we are the proud new parents of Tiger!!
He was very healthy and had been neutered.
When the girls were playing with him outside one day a lady came up and said she lived a block over, it was her cat but we could have him. How's that for responsible cat parenting?
Anyway he is an inside cat and in a very good home now.

Congrats on your new furry fur!

Oh oh... I'm not a cat person. But i do have a good cat story that may redeem myself.

I have allergies..really bad ones to animals...but I can deal if a cat/dog has a home (I miss not having a dog!)So I have 2 cats...one who is nuts...and then my one with attitude!

I need help from the crafty people, please.
Can someone point me to a web site?
DS want to go to Michaels & get styrofoam balls, but I can't think of any endangered animals that are mostly ball shaped.

Help !!

I have been doing some research on the Tall Ship Festival in San Pedro August 15-17th. They are expecting 200,000+ people over the weekend to see these ships. Here is the map of where they will be docked. If they are still there on Sunday (still do not have a schedule) when we leave, we will be sailing right by all of them. Those of you staying in San Pedro are in luck since many of them will be docked along Ports O'Call and will be available to explore Saturday afternoon and something to look at while dining.

Here is the website for the Tall Ships Exposition 2008 for the entire West Coast.

Hi, just to confirm, I cant take part, Secret Mickey luggage restrictions transatlantic would cause problems and thats even if our luggage gets through T5 in time for the cruise, (I am giving BA four extra days there, cant see it turning up for Disneyland).

If I was taking part in the Secret Mickey, I wouldn't post any shameless plugs about my hobbies etc, or what I want.

anyway anyone see Doctor Who last night, it was great, anyone know where I can get a 30 foot Tardis?

Thanks! It would be awesome to sail by all of these tall ships. I showed my kids the video and they were excited. I hope the ships are still there on the 17th! I need to make sure our memory cards are empty after our visit to DL.

 

[scuba.mom]

Ya, thats why we booked our last summer's Wonder trip so we could see Ratoullie for free.

Cruising has been a great way to teach the kids the difference between "free" and "included". If I ever mis-speak and say something is free, the kids are quick to remind me ït isn't free, it's included".

 

[sk8ingmom]

Good golly, this is the first chance I've had to sit down all weekend.

LET'S GO CAPS!

I am glad I am starting the party at 9pm PDT. Maybe this makes up for having to get up at 4am on booking day.

Yeah, I'm sorta getting screwed on that one by switching coasts. Up at 0300 booking day, up at midnight at 90 day.

From the rumors board....

How do the Martini's on the Magic stack up?

Unfortunately, that drink violates one (maybe 2) of M.'s Rules of Drinking.

Never drink anything bigger than your head
Never drink anything currently (or formerly) flaming
Never drink anything blue

Does it have to be an animal, would a bird do? How about a Kiwi? - the bird not the fruit

...actually the fruit is pretty ball-like.

If they're expecting 200,000+ people, it's probably not a bad idea for all you guys staying at the port to check out the surrounding restaurants and see who takes reservations.

[geffric]

[justmestace]

Just wanted to make sure you all knew I was still alive....and I KNOW some of you were concerned .....have still been trying to catch up on paperwork and stuff....and now DS has that nasty staph again....one thing after another.
Have been able to skim a little (very little) but it's killing me to not be on here every day!!

Is a porcupine endangered? You could use styrofoam balls and toothpicks. Obviously I am not creative either....nor am I very informed on endangered animals.

Paper mache is not hard, but takes many days as it needs to dry between layers. Family fun website should have a good recipe; I used to get the magazine when the boys were young and used that to make projects.

Have you considered modeling clay? The newer plastic kinds come in many colors, and you can get the kind that you can bake to harden - works great.

Thanks, we'll check it out. The animal model is not due until May 9th, but he needs pre-approval by April 22nd.

Chrissie, thanks again. I knew someone here would be able to direct us.

Now if the dr who I am used looked like that ...dr who wouldn't have scared me as a kid!

porcupine seems to be generating the most replies. Might be on to something here
