Crash,

Where do you find the time for this!?!

BTW, LOVE the bobblehead, although I'd kill my husband if he did one of me! Alicia is a good sport!

 

[Pluto 2]

Your first mistake was to get on the scale!!!

 

[Grandma x3]

Hi Gang,
Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!!

Have Lots of errands to do - so I'm out of here! Weather is beautiful here on the coast - supposed to be Hot inland.

 

[pdarrah]

Just when I thought I was safe...AirTran changed my flight time to a 10:30 am flight out of MCO. There go my cheap flights with no 2nd bag fee
We checked other flight times and prices and it doesn't look good

When AirTran did this to us, I called to complain and they changed us to a different flight (not great, since we now aren't flying out until 5PM) we still have our 2 bags each, seat assignments, no extra charge, and all that - just a different flight.

Alicia doesn't KNOW. And she's about as tough to buy for as I am for her. As for time to do this DIS thing - it's really quite easy and breezy if ya kno where to look for info and "skate around" quick. To get the individual posting tallies - you go to the page with ALL the cruise meet threads listed (GO 2" from the top of this page... look in the RED LINE where it says "NEW POSTS" ... and above that should be the hot link underlined words "DISNEY CRUISE MEETS") ... and you simply click on the NUMBER representing "REPLIES" for our particular thread. This will bring up a new window with everyone listed who has posted and thier number of postings. Generally this EXCLUDES the most recent posting ... I think... and you can click and drag from top to bottom ... then simply copy the list.

Next - when I draft a new posting it is mere seconds for me to preselect a centering, font size of 1, amd insert the data. Then... it is more tedius to select alternating colors every 10 who are listed ... and since Dahuffy rides motorcycles and has a boxer - I quickly googled the image of my fancy for the moment. It really doesn't take long - and I find it mildly relaxing to slap it together. HOWEVER, I know it might "fan the flames" of posting "Fluff"... which is not too good a thing if it gets out of hand. As silent lurkers may be discouraged from joining actively. SO I rarely post these lists now-a-days. It's just that we'll be closing this out in a day or so and I have not posting this much in recent weeks that I did so. Besides... everyone is napping now and resting prior to runnin' out for the mini-DIS meet. That is... everyone except me it seems.

Then again... it is a bit eqarly to go now. I had thought we'd go a little over an our early so we could explore a bit near Marlborough... but I gues we won't be doin' that since everyone is napping now.

Give eveyone a big hug from me!!! I am jealous and green with envy!!

I agree... If the airlines are the ones that changed your flights, then they should fix the time... We had that happen once on Delta, I think and had no problem getting the flight times fixed and it cost us nothing extra.

 

[scuba.mom]

i've never used the treadmills onboard...are they free to use? is there a weight room that is able to be used? i used the steps alot on our last cruise, but i'd love to use a treadmill too.

Yes, the treadmills are free to use. The best part of the DIS exercise equipment set up is you can borrow (or bring your own) headphones and they plug into the equipment and allow you to hear the TV's overhead. I can walk so much further / longer when I am caught up in a movie. They are the same channels / choices that are on your stateroom TV.

That's the one reason I want to get an MP3 player... I think I'd hike farther when I'm alone...

 

[Bets19]

Is anyone interested in a NYC / NJ mini meet sometime before our cruise?

I'm interested too!

 

[Stepht5]

I've been in-line skating in the morning. This is my first full summer in Denver and I'm still trying to get used to this weather our here. I haven't missed a day in over two weeks and I'm trying to make everyday count before the cruise. When I leave the house around 5:45 a.m., I have to wear long pants and a sweatshirt with a hood and I still freeze, especially going into the wind. On the weekends I wait until later in the morning and can get by with a shorts and a t-shirt, but before the sun is up all the way, it's just too cold for summer IMO (around 50 degrees).

Dh has been skating on a regular basis again - to get ready for all the walking at WDW.

However, I filed a claim for shipping damage and they are remaking a new one ...
AND I'm keeping the iold one! Perhaps I can super glue this "damaged" one and end up with 2 for the price of 1![/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [/CENTER]

I'm sorry it arrived damaged! It looks great. The dh had made looks just like him.

Good mornin' Tom (& TOAL neighbors)...

It's nice here on the East Coast!

yesterday I borrowed my BILs' 96' Explorer and it blew a cooling exchange valve. So- fortunately we were close to his home and I swapped it out myself! An easy job but - good thing it happened yesterday as our DIS mini-meet here in Boston was moved from yesterday to today!

The valve had 4 tubes plus a vacume line - easy as pie to swap once I had the part and it was cool enuf to work on!
It was a little tight at times and the tubes wer sort of OLD - but it went well and I saved my BIL from sufferring an emergency repair and probable mechanic bill on minor stature.

OMGosh! You are handy! LOL!

And so that you'll recognize her on the TOAL, here's a pic of Susan (DW) in her element:

Andy

great pic!

Crash,

BTW, LOVE the bobblehead, although I'd kill my husband if he did one of me! Alicia is a good sport!

His wife doesn't know! LOL!

Wow I can't believe I'm in the top 10... No wonder nothing seems to be getting done around the house...

Welcome to the *I'ld rather Dis then do housework* club!

 

[m&m's mom]

I couldn't wait to read any new James Patterson (the series i read anyway) or a Janet Evanovich until the cruise.....that is like asking me NOT to buy the last Harry Potter book when it came out.....HELLO....wasn't happening. I love to read and waiting to read a book I look forward to never happens.

We bought 3 copies when HP came out since we all had to read it immediately!

We have no a/c here so our bill will be great.

Ahhhh -to be in the mountains!

well i said on here yesterday i was starting my diet to get ready for the cruise.so after 24 hours of being on a diet i gained 1.4 pounds.

Glad I am not the only one. I sure hope I do not gain more than a couple of pounds while to WDW next week. We have really good ADR's so it just might not be possible.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
DEBI AND KEVIN

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.


Have a good one.

I'm going to have to go and check this out. Thanks for the info.

 

[rillsung]

Welcome to the *I'ld rather Dis then do housework* club!

I just keep thinking about what a clean house I'd have if I wasn't online all the time... Well probably not, I'd just find something else to do instead!

Ahhhh -to be in the mountains!

I'm spending DDs morning nap time seeing if I can get estimates on A/C though... The house didn't get below 80 degrees overnight last night and it's only gonna get worse! Unfortunately it's probably going to cost around the same as TOAL and since we already booked TOAL we'll have to see.

Would any headphones work or are there specific ones?

let me know if you do this too....it's a bit of a drive for us... but we may be up for it!

Got it, boy, that would be awkward..."your left eye looks familiar, but I now need to see your big toe"...


Thanks for saving me from that!

oh my! this had me rolling!! too funny!


thanks for the info on the treadmills everyone!
hope you are all having a great day! have to get ready here for a haircut in a little bit. made me realize i only go in for one more trim before toal! when you break it down...this trip is coming awfully quick!!!
