[Verandah Man]

Did anyone watch "Cruise Do's and Don'ts" on the Travel Channel? Some segments about the DCL and Disney Wonder . Makes me want to book another cruise .

Yep, we watched it..................

My Mickey Room is in the basement in his house. It is also my other computer room and where the wireless network is set up. I have not finished putting things where they belong yet but hope to do it soon. (Hey I've only been here 9 months!

It's also the room where I take computers apart and work on them. You'll see one in the corner in the last photo.

Don't let my DW know I'm showing this because she will be very at me because it is such a jumble mess ..... but it's my mess!

Ho nice Brack! You have a wonderful area for your collectibles.

Hi Pete!

So how much snow did you end up getting?

Took DDs to see the Sneak Preview of The Last Mimzy today. Neat little movie.

Remember how I said a while back that DD isn't into the Princess thing? This depicts her perfectly...

Lots of great pics from yesterday! I think Justmestace, Lisa, Brack and Esteri to name a few. Thanks for sharing

I believe it is called "Going Commando" ..... although for the life of me I do not know why?

Speaking of which... I found Julia Louis Dreyfus' satire monlogue on SNL to be funny.

I probably should be open and honest with the group, I have not had the best luck travelling... first family trip to the World was 9/16/01, had to drive instead of fly due to grounding of all planes. I was in Florida for one of the 4 bad hurricanes in 2004 (managed to get last plane out of Tampa - literally - we would have weathered it out, but would have meant missing youngest DS first day of Kindergarten....), 2006 cruise rerouted due to hurricane.... and other minor incidents on other trips (tornados, etc.) My Mother will not travel the same week I do vacations (although if any rooms open up on this trip she wants to come).

We tease my parent's about their "bad" luck on vacations. Let's see, a couple years ago they went to the Destin Beach FL area during back-to-back hurricanes, then they went to the Cape Cod area a little over a year ago when it monsoon rained for 10 days straight, then they flew to the Alabama Gulf Shores, but dad incurred an infection and went to the hospital where they found he had an irregular heartbeat and was hospitalized the whole week, then my BIL and I had to drive 14 hours each way to extract him because the doctor wouldn't clear him to fly, then they were at a hockey tournament a month back where a boy from my nephew's team nearly drowned, a nurse who's son was on the team saved his life and then they life flighted him to a children's hospital, then, about two weeks ago, they were flying to Tampa when a lady had a heart attack on the plane. A nurse on that flight saved her life and when they landed, the pilot did about 60mph to gate.

So how much snow did you end up getting?

The official word is 14 inches but we have around 20 here at the house. I'm hoping that this is the last storm of the season and that spring really is around the corner!

That stinks! We had some snow but mostly sleet and freezing rain which formed a thick hard coat of ice everywhere @ 3 inches.

Good night everyone. Hope to talk to you all very soon!

I'd rather have the snow than the ice any day!

It got bad here very quickly on Friday. I work only about 15 minutes from home and it took me over an hour to get home - left the office at 12:15. Actually, I had to call DH and have him come get me and drive the car the rest of the way home. I was lucky that he was working, with someone and was able to come and rescue me between calls. Otherwise, I was going to leave the car and walk the 6 blocks home (car was in a parking lot at one of the local hospitals).

One time on a work trip, a guy two rows in front of me had a seizure about 1/2 way between philly and miami, so I guess it isn't all vacation. The kinda ironic thing about it all is that I am in the emergency management field.....

I hope your ok, hope everything worked out.

DH said that Donald Trump has fired the grounhog.

What a fun day.

My son and I got to attend the POT 3 preview. The trailer is awesome. I can't wait until May.

The theater here had a contest for best costume. A cute 6 year old from Staten Island won.

A man from Long Island came in 2nd place. He was pretty much a dead ringer for Jack Sparrow.

They played a few trivia games and had a raffle. Some of the prizes were pretty neat. An Ipod, a replica of Jack Sparrow's gun, figurines, tee shirts, Jack Sparrow doll, ticket to Madame Tussauds...

They gave everyone a Fan Kit which included a bandana, a PC game and a few other items.

Oh, they showed the trailer twice. It was a pretty long day, but we both enjoyed it.
