8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #9

[DiaLady]

I am officially old. I just saw a commercial that said "When all hell breaks lose, call us" and I immediately thought I need to write down that phone number to call them and tell them that is not appropriate.
Am I the only one that is so sick of all the "cuss" words that are used on TV there days? We are trying so hard to counteract all the bad words they hear at school and in media but it is getting harder when they hear it so mainstream.
Rant over!

Well, I'm officially "not very" old (42 or is it 43??) . . and I concur 100%. My kids pretty much only watch movies (we love veggie tales) and little else. We did watch Extreme Home Makeovers for awhile. I just don't see anything on TV that would be supportive of the kind of kids we desire our kids to be. Either it is too violent, has many s** connotations, or is just fluff (no thoughts needed . . .LOL). However, we do discuss this topics and it really burns me that even Rush Limbaugh is allowed to cuss occasionally (and the kids point it out, too . ..).

I must say we do watch sports, though. That has been a challenge. Have you tried to sit through a major league baseball or football (not soccer for our overseas friends) game on TV? The beer and drug commercials and even car commericals can be risque . . . On of the parents has to sit though the game (DH loves this) to turn off the commericals so DS13 can enjoy the games.

Okay, down from my soap box . . .I miss the Lone Ranger and the Beverly Hill Billies . . .LOL

You tricked me into going to bed! I thought you were too

No really DH was already bugging me to go to bed and I did have to feed DD

I did go to bed..I was watching TV and DH says..Chris just posted to you..so I came over and started this! And I still lost!

Then I went to bed

It totally me to be watching a program with the kids and then all of a sudden a totally unappropriate commercial comes on. By that time it is took late and the kids already saw / heard what you didn't want them to. Has anyone seen the commercials for the new tv series coming to CBS called Swingtown? They have got to be kidding and they show the commercials for it during prime time. I couldn't change the channel fast enough one night while watching tv with the kids

Grown Up Princess Night
2nd Formal Night (Ballroom Under the Stars)

The poll is complete and the 2nd Formal Night has won (looks like M's campaigning was succesful )

Over on the planning board, the threads related to this event have been moved to the section for the correct day.

Kids being sent home early due to excessive heat (and some schools without a/c)

Hey M, like the East sweltering heat?

Roger ,

Could you post the information on the Mickey Mouse Club thing on the Pirate Zone , like where to get the shirts ....this could be a very fun dinner with all the linked pirates if they were to wear shirts as well ...

DRAT!​

My family is booked to fly into Boston this week - we have a birthday for our niece out there - plus we were gonna "hang" in the area too... but now it's being threatened by this so called heat wave.....

Tom congrats to your DS on the win!


Roger thanks for sharing the pictures of your mini meet, sorry you all didn't have alot of time to talk!

M, congrats on your triathalon

Commercials can really be embarassing around the kids. What do you all think about that new "Swingtime or Swingtown" show that is going to on Thursdays

Schools are closed here but because of the flooding, not the heat. State of emergency is Southern Wisconsin

The main lake in Wisconsin Dells is spilling over it's banks. They fear they will lose the lake completely. Three houses have fallen in. The lake is rushing toward the Wisconsin River (along with the three houses!).

We can blame him..I usually do! Actually...he is a pretty terrific hubby...he puts up with me and all my Disney crazyness. He was actually sitting next to me when you got the pirate.

 

[Grandma x3]

Congrats Chris

You truely are the

You know I like the sound of Pirate Queen - maybe on Grown-Up Princess Night - I'll be Queen!!

Great News from DCL on Luggage!!!!!

The information that was given to me and numerous other people over the weekend and late last week pertained ONLY to the resorts! Disney Cruise Lines (at least for now), is still allowing 2 pieces of luggage per person to be checked with the onboard airline check in

I will check back again in late July about this but as of right now even if you weren't grandfathered, you will be able to check two pieces of luggage.

 

[winotracy]

One more from me this morning

Someone asked me about shorts in the dining room so I asked about this. Shorts are allowed in the dining room, provided that they are the longer dressier shorts (they don't want you to look like you just came from the pool).
