[poohmomof5]

did you find any in stock? I checked a bunch and so far they are all out of stock..

Bad me, I didn't check...

I think the girls will have a blast if we go shopping and pick some out...I just don't like shopping AT ALL!!! I try to do everything online!

 

[buckifan]

Sorry, didn't realize the importance of responding. Paypal is fine for me.


Most likely I'll actually hand deliver to Chris but thought I'd get my approval in there.

Fine for me as well!

DH and I might have to find the shunned section of the ship for this one ... he hit the 4 0 last year(not there yet myself and fighting it every step of the way), and we're only going to be celebrating our 15th Anniversary this year. We're ahead, and yet we're behind

I am way over 40 and we will be celebrating 8 years married on August 5th and 10 years together. DH says he can remember how many years we have been married because it was 2000 and it is easy to because the current year is the number we have been married. Today is actually the anniversary of our engagement. We went to visit his folks in Dallas over memorial day weekend and he took me shopping for a ring. His sister worked at a jewlery store at the time. (can we say thrifty?)

We got married in 2000 too. Been together since 1989.

We have the same TA as well. I hope we get the post card too!

I was told that Chuck would be hosting some events in his cabin.

I'm thinking we have the same TA also, but we haven't received a postcard either.

There are a lot of tiaras in stock at Sam Moon. Just look towards the bottom. I found at least 5-10.

 

[Luckyinlife]

Oh my, I just cannot ketchup with you guys!

Regarding the tux - On formal nights DH will wear one with a Mickey vest/tie ensemble which is black on black and very subtle. He'll likely wear a sports jacket and tie on semi-formal night.

Regarding Pirate Bus - PayPal is a good idea.

Sk8, sk8, sk8 (me shaking head) you haven't lived here very long.....

They are many other reasons the schools close around here.... When DD was in 5th grade...we had 2 or 3 days off the first two weeks of schools because bad hurricanish storms (ok one was a hurricane) had knocked out the power to our neighborhood for days....

Then that same year was that freakish Presidents day snow storm (there went another 5 days off) Before we knew it they had to add days to the school year....

SO that kinda explains why they don't just change end of year until the very end of May.

We have the stupid 15 minute day here, but at least our "extra" days make more sense! Our calendar shows the 'Last day if no extras used' and a 'Last day if all extras used'. Since you have a pretty good idea when it is unlikely there will be more used, you can start planning then - but you know that you are gambling.

You have to make special arrangements to miss the 15 minute day since that is when they hand out the report cards.

Thanks! My son would like to try to get in touch. I will pm you soon. Can you tell me... how I go about getting to the dining link? Do I have to e-mail the webmaster of the pirate zone? I am not sure how to do this.

I'm not quite sure which thing you are looking for ... If you want access to everything on the Pirate Zone, you just need to create a login there (It needs to get "approved" by the webmaster, but that is usually pretty quick). The info about linking dining is included in the huge 1st post on this thread - it is somewhat near the bottom and is titled "WANT TO DINE WITH THE CAPT or the CREW? "

Hi Gang!!

I have been MIA - while being Really busy is better than being bored - I am so far behind here!!

*NOTE* - am getting the last of the price quotes from the bus companies. Changes due to price hikes w/diesel/gas prices!! Will have all quotes by tomorrow - and will post thereafter. So far $10 pp is the average.

( Deposit due upon reservation - Full payment to be paid 2 wks prior to departure - I am willing to pay in advance - how does everyone feel about paying me via paypal)


Belated Happy B'day to all I missed!!

to all our hurting pirates!

I think that sounds like a great price! Paypal is fine for us, but as someone mentioned, make sure you figure out all the fees so you charge the right price and don't get stuck with those costs yourself....

Hmmm....now I don't feel so bad about having, "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead" set for the ringtone when my mother calls...

This made me smile! A number of years ago I worked in a research group at a very large company. One of the members of our group was a very difficult lady - she always had to be the center of any conversations, she felt all her ideas were perfect and everyone else's were cr**, and so on. One day she suddenly quit and left the company for another job - our boss actually danced down the aisle between the cubicles singing that song!

a necessary evil....

I am down to only one spin class a week right now due to my schedule... (But i've got other weights based or hottie salsa classes i go to on other nights)

and now my gym is closing one of their two locations in town so twice as many peeps will be trying to sign up for class every day...

UGGGGG Don't they know i need class more than they do?

I like classes. Cadio Pump, Body Attack (known as evil aerobics in my house), Zumba, Hip Hop. It's all good.

I like to bike. Hate spin. If you lived closer, you wouldn't have to fight me for a spot in class!

We had Open House at DS's school last night. Finally met the principal. DS has only been at this school since Feb. Turns out the principal was my 11th grade US History teacher. Thought about bringing up TOAL, but didn't. However when speaking with DS's teacher, I told her about TOAL and missing the first 4 days. DS will have the same teacher next year. She didn't see a problem with it. And when I told her about the journals, she said that would be perfect for Independent Study. She told me to talk to the Attendance Office and let them know that she has approved him for 4 days of Independent Study for the first week of school next year.

Ok, well, I guess I better make those happen then.

DH and I might have to find the shunned section of the ship for this one ... he hit the 4 0 last year(not there yet myself and fighting it every step of the way), and we're only going to be celebrating our 15th Anniversary this year. We're ahead, and yet we're behind

Our 14th will be in October & we both have a few more years before 40. Well, him fewer than me!

I am way over 40 and we will be celebrating 8 years married on August 5th and 10 years together. DH says he can remember how many years we have been married because it was 2000 and it is easy to because the current year is the number we have been married. Today is actually the anniversary of our engagement. We went to visit his folks in Dallas over memorial day weekend and he took me shopping for a ring. His sister worked at a jewlery store at the time. (can we say thrifty?)

DH did the opposite. Bought my ring in the only jewelry store on an Alaskan island. You should have seen his face the next time we were in an jewelry store in the continental U.S. "You could have had THAT for what I paid!" The ring he was referring to was about 3x the size of mine. I don't care, though. I love my ring and it reminds me of knowing this was it when we were young, stupid and poor.

 

[Nutty4Disney]

I am going to be lucky to get DH in a suit for 4 nights (2 formal, 1 semi formal and 1 Palo) no way I would get him in a tux. It may be a sports coat and Dockers for Palo and semi-formal, but I don't want to bring another jacket if I don't have to. I am going to have to take out a loan for all the extra luggage if I keep adding stuff to take.

Is Palo as formal (ie shirt and tie) for brunch as for dinner? I haven't been to a brunch before...and may not this time if I can't get one reserved.

I love my ring too. I love it even more knowing that DH picked out exactly what I would have wanted without ever having had "the ring" discussion. His Dad had given him cash as a gift for College Graduation. DH took that to the mall ... bought himself a beer and spent the rest on my ring. He'll often laugh about the "3 months salary" rule when budgetting for an engagement ring ... he says, "I had just graduated from college and I didn't have a job ... 3 months of nothing is nothing." I guess it was pretty funny when he told the saleslady, "I like that one, I'll take that one." And she said, "Well, that's nice, but what does SHE want." Her face went something like this when he said, "I don't know we never talked about it."

 

[Caropooh]

I'm pretty sure they'll have coverage in Diversions. I've seen people ask about the Dumbotron, not sure if they'll show it out there or not.

I hope so, but it won't be the end of the world if they don't!

We only had wedding bands for our wedding. Mine was $25 and his was $50!! I was 21 and we were in college still. But very happy to be together!!!!

I could care less what anyone thinks about my ring, it is very special to me and I would never get rid of it!!!!

I love my ring too! Dan & I did talk about it - he thought it was a good thing that I didn't really like diamonds, until he found out what a good ruby costs! Then my father went on a business trip to Thailand and asked Dan if he would like him to look for a good unset stone there. My father ended up buying 3 stones and then Dan had his pick of them. This was right before Burma pretty much totally closed the mines there, so I have a dark, red Burmese ruby! Dan then found a jeweler who could set it (it was "antique cut" which is much less common) and then held it for at least 6 months before he gave it to me. He couldn't come up with any ideas in that time and finally just gave it to me with no fanfare at all

We just celebrated 15 years married last Thursday. My sister was working at a jewelry store too and we picked out the ring there. It was nice and not very expensive, but we were hoping to buy a house so it didn't matter to me. But then 4 years later something really nice happened.

Just before our anniversary, DH's brother John came over and was telling us that he was switching banks and the rings that he and DH were willed were in the safety deposit box. One of them had their great grandmother's engagement diamond in it (had been reset). John suggested that the two rings were not equal in value and he wasn't planning to marry so instead of selling the diamond, they should just give it to me!!!!!!!!!! It is a beautiful diamond! We had my ring reset with a new setting but it looks very much like my original ring did (we reused the accent diamonds in my original setting). My mom started making jewelry and she took my old setting and put new stones in it (a blue diamond and smoky diamonds for the accent).

Like maybe the Acapulco Cliff Divers and shopping? Anyone actually keeping that excursion? Overwhelming negative reviews.

Unfortunately, that's the one we're booked on. And the regular city tour is filled up.

However, I can hope that it will be different this time both due to the complaints, and the fact that it will be at a different time for us.

We are on the tour too, but we will make the best of it, I don't know what else we would do!

We will make the best of it!!!!

"hallmark"..memories..to this day. such.. a lil'thing...holding up alot of
great feelings...in that,..it allows me to remember..some of my feelings from
childhood. something, i think,..we all have...."preceptors"...thru life ,giving
us the awarness..that makes up our value systems. * it wasn't until high
sch. before..i understood..what had happened.

*one might..have noticed..my observation...skill...for funy lil'dtails?..
he is a major reason...why. nor do i think him as gone...as i can recall
sitting..on that bank...in the grass...and how "important"..i must 've
been..for him to share...his knowledge...with a lil'kid.

....which explained...why.."we were" all required..to write...letters weekly
to my older brothers..during their stay...in exciting vietnam, the fun
capital..of the world~ [ i stil have the poster, they sent me],

..& though..i can remember...dwats.."extra homework"...., i sent "stuff"
in my letters.....from home. what stuff?..grass, onion tops, dandy lions,
...& wild flowers.

..now,i know..why my parents..were so ..when they made it

who gave the gift of life to me; and may she know from day to day, the
deepening glow of joy that comes from thee. i cannot pay my debt for all
the love that she has given; but thou, love's Lord, wilt not forget that she
her due reward~Bless her in earth and heaven. Amen.

in my faith, [ which is my feelings in my heart], there are no greater

my love..i share..with of course, my lil'cutie pie! in my beliefs, God's nick-
name..is really.. Love.

 

[m&m's mom]

This talk of engagment/wedding rings is funny.
We took my ring to be resized yesterday. I was telling Bill "My finger has gotten bigger in 19 years". He said "You have had that ring for 19 years?". What a romantic.
We did not have the romantic proposal. It was more like me saying "You know I am the one that knows about jewelry. Please do not surprise me". He was so relieved!! He basically said look and let me know what you want. I designed my own wedding and I did a great job if I do say so myself.

Hey- I am right there w/ ya! I am on it too.
Now wait a minute- I am on the non -shoppping cliff divers.
