So what have I missed???

I see Lisa is back .....I missed you Lisa!!!!

But wait.....I hope it's just mere coincidence that she's posting since I've been MIA.... Has she been avoiding me? Is it something I typed? Is it my breath???

Shannon...I've been meaning to tell you....I can't believe how much your kids have grown!!! Wow. I guess we've been on these Boards a long time, huh? Fun watching the kids grow.

I have no idea what is going on thread wise but remember how much the topic of the kids missing school had been discussed back in the day before we even had had reservations on 1/31/07 so thought that I would pop in and share the info that I got today when I talked to the principal about the kids missing the first week of school and what to do as far as contacting their teachers and such. The principal told me that the kids are not counted on the roster until they set foot in the school that school year ... SOOOOOOO ... that means that they will be marked as "no show" until they get back and that is not an absence!!!! We donot have to rush back on Labor Day now and it will be less expensive for us to get a hotel room in Florida and get an early morning flight out of Orlando on Tuesday. Hopefully this will be the case for many of you with kids.

Yep, I found out the same thing when I inquired about the girls missing school.
I went ahead and pre-enrolled them but they will not actually register them until they show up for the 1st day. I thought that was just TX law but either Federal or more states. I love loop holes!

That's great news that the kids won't be counted as absent while on the cruise. My kids will also miss the first 6 days of school. We are flying home on Tuesday so that we can celebrate DD's 4th birthday at MK on Monday.

Coral, we are in TX also. Your post confused me a bit...do you know if this is a law for all TX schools or just something your school is willing to do for you? Our principal didn't mention anything like this when I told her my kids would be missing. She didn't seem to have a problem with it, but it sure would be nice if the kids weren't counted as absent in case they need the days later for sickness.

hi kim!

 

[sk8ingmom]

No, its not Florida, I doubt the Supreme Court will take an interest in deciding this vote ...

Well there goes my litmus test for Indecision 2008.

 

[Diznyfan68]

So we should just go and radmonly vote?
What is this, Florida 2000?

Hanging chads?

 

[justmestace]

Just trying to gauge how many people are actually really interested in doing this one night ... For those that are new or those who havent seen this talked about , there is a interactive script that goes along with Pirate of the Caribbean " Curse of the Black Pearl " Its very similar to Rocky Horror Picture Show , it's very fun to do and I am sure we would all have a great time doing this while they played it on the Dumbo Tron or (Ariel View ) to others ...lol I am trying to get a hold of Rachel the CD now to see if we could set a night , but this may one of those things that we may not know the night till we are on the ship. I am pretty sure they will have no problem showing the movie for us

...So What say you ?

If you are planning to do this , please go here and print the script for yourself and loved ones and pack it with you when you head to CA for our TOAL ...


POTC Script






Tom, Is this something we could add to the Pirate Zone ???

Can I be the critic??? Pretty please??? I'm a GREAT critic!
Every play has to have a critic.

I'm not sure those are chads.

Oh, no! You are right -- they aren't chads . . . but they are hanging . . . everyone avert your eyes . . .

Random thought while eating my lunch:

1. Is anyone else having trouble finding a formal dress that isn’t hideous? I’ve been browsing & I’ve only been tempted to even try on 2 or 3. Everything is ugly.

Well I am not a dressup kinda a girl - so YEAH not getting so lucky

2. I wish photoshop worked in real life. I’d photoshop myself onto Castaway Cay right now. Please place me in a hammock with a Konk Cooler.

3. I want Desperate Housewife arms. How do I get me some of those? Do ya think there’s something in the water on Wisteria Lane?
I am sure if I had those arms and waist line I could find a dress or 3 or 3
4. Nougat.

FYI - .....
I know some of you were reading that with dread thinking I'm canceling mine.

Nope.
I am glad you are still coming along.

That was my now 28ds!!!! In a history class (High School) he didn't answer a single question on the test...... When the teacher and I asked him about it...his reply was.... *He already knows I know the answers. So, why waste my time?*

Oh, no! You are right -- they aren't chads . . . but they are hanging . . . everyone avert your eyes . . .

DS name is Chad and boy did he hate hearing his name like that during that time

 

[justmestace]
