[ChrizJen]

Andy!!! that Angelina gets the job!!!

(I know I'm a little dalayed, but it's been almost more difficult keeping up today with the server running slow as it is when we have a 25,000 post day!!)

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Alright -- let's take this as a challenge -- let's see you give me a better picture! We're on!

Thats not a challange , thats just a mere request ....

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Well...

... that may depend on how many folks choose the "round bed" option from my 7 questions query....

Yeah Baby , I can shag on that

 

[captaincrash]

Well... it's time again for another round of the ...

7 QUESTIONS GAME....​

#1 What was / will be / for LUNCH today?

#2 What would you like for LUNCH tomorrow?

#3 What is the BIGGEST chore on your "to do" list currently pending?

#4 If you could drop what you're currently doing tomorrow and take a day off for doing something else... totally free to do what-ever your heart desires.... what would you do for fun?

#5 If you could have Palo's make you something off the menu... anything at all... what would it be?

#6 What ONE Disney character would you like to spend a day with (or be) in a REAL story sestting ... IE ... you could accompany or be Winnie the Pooh in a real 100 Acre Wood for a day... so what one character would you want to be for a day... and what setting for that characters' storyline?

#7 For your cabin on this sailing... which of these "modifications" would you choose if you HAD to pick one? a) A 70" LCD 1080p HD TV with HD DVD + HD DVD selections. b) a triple sized bathtub with steam, jacuzzi jets, tanning lights and aroma theraphy devices. c) a giant MIRROR on the ceiling and the motorized rotating round bed with vibration baby! Oh yeah... also included are the fog generator, mystery ball with multicolored lights and mood music sound system... and a unified remote control for the whole array! d) A narrow private veranda that runs around the entire permimeter of the ship. All the other cabins on your level have one way mirrored glass... so you can't peer in though.

Well...

#6 ... this is a tough one cuz there are so many fun Disney characters with nice moments... so I'll just go with what FIRST comes to mind....

I will have to go with Aladdin and Jasmine (I get to play Alladin and my spouse gets to be Jasmine... and the genie has to be at my beck and call...) when he takes her flying around the world for an evening on the magic carpet. He was in the middle of his raging exaggerations as to his credentials... and my spouse would probably warm up to me on the carpet engaging in a similar littany of raging exaggerations... <quiet chuckles>

Karen,

There was a posting some time ago that made reference to the "IDEA" that a teaspoon or NUTMEG would bring on a psychotropic effect similar to that of LSD... however, the downside is there would be an immediate and prolonged dry hacking "heaving" bad enough to wake the whole neighborhood.

DOn't expect me to FIND the original posting of this... <chuckles>

Crash it was I that brought up the nutmeg. I had a pharmacolgy professor that lectured about the LSD qualities of nutmeg back in the early 80's. Now looking at Wikipedia I see that it is more closely related to ecstasy than LSD. Still a hallucinogen. Ecstasy was'nt even around back in the 80's. Anyway here is some info from Wikipedia on nutmeg.


In low doses, nutmeg produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response. Large doses of 30 g or more are dangerous, potentially inducing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain. In amounts of 5-20 g it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria. A test was carried out on the substance which showed that, when ingested in large amounts, nutmeg takes on a similar chemical make-up to MDMA (ecstasy). However, use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular due to its unpleasant taste and its side effects, including dizziness, flushes, dry mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, and panic. A user will not experience a peak until approximately six hours after ingestion, and effects can linger for up to three days afterwards. Any unpleasant side-effects would persist throughout this period.

I'm telling......you guys broke the DIS

Congrats Monica. Looks like you have righted the wench ship. Us swabbies will be ganging up for the next pirate in 2-3 days.

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

1. No lunch today - still don't have much of an appetite. Will probably have dinner though.
2. Grilled chicken ceasar salad
3. Completely redo my living room, floor walls, furniture.
4. Hope on a plane and go to WDW for the day
5. Chicken breast stuffed with shrimp scampi (never had it but it sounds delish!)
6. Cinderella during the ball
7. the triple sized bathtub, please!

BTW - this is my 4,000th post since joining the DIS in July 2006 - never thought I would see 1,000 let alone 4,000 posts ever!

Congrats Lorri.

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Captain (Todd) if you are still around, I have procured myself one Mr. Cottons talking parrot and would like to sign up for the roll. I am just worried about learning the lines. I mean the parrot learning his lines.

 

[The FairyGodmother]

But I'm all the way down on deck 2 so I pose a much greater crashing threat!

Maybe we should take a big rope and lash us deck 2ers together as we leave deck 7. We can still stop for mind you.

Me too. We can bounce off the walls together on our way to our rooms.

I'm definitely going -- do you think I'd miss the opportunity to enjoy this:

Yes, that's me and yes, I was having exactly as much fun as appearances would suggest . . .

Great picture and you do look like you were having a great time.

Well... it's time again for another round of the ...

7 QUESTIONS GAME....​

#1 What was / will be / for LUNCH today? I had nothing of value. Some stale popcorn. Going out to a dinner meeting tonight so I will make up for that bad lunch.

#2 What would you like for LUNCH tomorrow? I know this sounds bad but any type of fast food would be good. I haven't had anything fast food in over 6 months.

#3 What is the BIGGEST chore on your "to do" list currently pending?To paint the spindles on my stairs and over look. Takes way to long so I find other chores to do first.

#4 If you could drop what you're currently doing tomorrow and take a day off for doing something else... totally free to do what-ever your heart desires.... what would you do for fun?An all day motorcycle ride with Mark.

#5 If you could have Palo's make you something off the menu... anything at all... what would it be? I have never eaten dinner at Palo's so I can't answer this one

#6 What ONE Disney character would you like to spend a day with (or be) in a REAL story sestting ... IE ... you could accompany or be Winnie the Pooh in a real 100 Acre Wood for a day... so what one character would you want to be for a day... and what setting for that characters' storyline?
It would have to be Capt'n Jack and it would probably need to be in Tortuga

#7 For your cabin on this sailing... which of these "modifications" would you choose if you HAD to pick one? a) A 70" LCD 1080p HD TV with HD DVD + HD DVD selections. b) a triple sized bathtub with steam, jacuzzi jets, tanning lights and aroma theraphy devices. c) a giant MIRROR on the ceiling and the motorized rotating round bed with vibration baby! Oh yeah... also included are the fog generator, mystery ball with multicolored lights and mood music sound system... and a unified remote control for the whole array! d) A narrow private veranda that runs around the entire permimeter of the ship. All the other cabins on your level have one way mirrored glass... so you can't peer in thoughOh the bath tub for sure. But maybe on a very private veranda..

Hi Everyone,
Wow I've been preoccupied for the past couple of days and I've got over 40 pages to ketchup. The reason is - well, I wanted to get a buddy/playmate for Annie- the German Shepherd I rescued on Valentine's Day - and GSD rescue came through again. Sunday we brought home Max a 3 month old puppy. I probably need my head fixed to get a puppy with everything else going on. But - it was love at first sight.

I've got to run as DGS just got home from Kindergarten but I wanted to share. I hope I downloaded the pictures okay.
I'll check in later - hope all well with everyone & hugs, prayers and PD to those in need.

Chris

Oh my what a beautiful baby. I can imagine just wrapping you arms around the neck and give a big huge hug. I do that all the time with Grace and she just lays her head over my shoulder.

Hey Capt Crash you still on (and other photo compulsives) ? I have a serious question here - I am seriously considering adding on a wide angle lens on my camera - I have the ones from my conventional camera but I have this burning itch (and no - its not a disease! - wait maybe compulsive shopping is??? ) Anyway, how much do you really use a wide angle on your camera?

I've been debating it and since we're leaving in a few months - got excited when I saw the Disney Channel ad on Barcelona. We'll be staying in the Gothic section for 2 days before we sail and the thought of missing some of the cathedreal down there saddens me.

So the questions is - wide angle or macro (macro as in I can take close up pictures for my "Yea Honey - I'm gonna starting posting on eBay as soon as I fork out all this $ for this expensive macro lens." )

Oh well - just had to post - I keep getting signed off in addition to running late. Anyone else got any opinions?

This would be a good question for Mark too. He is in Mexico and probably won't be on line so if I get a chance I will try to ask him for you. What kind of camera do you have?

I don't know, the Capt Jack I had my pic taken with was gorgeous! After that I walked around wondering which cast member was him?

Getting ready to go. DD has a 3/4 grade music concert tonight at school. It's 70* outside! Yeah! Break out the shorts.

So.... where's the picture? We want to see this gorgeous Capt'n

OK, the girls just called as they were getting in the car. I found out that Angelina had to take a test and it was 100 questions long, that's why she was in there for over an hour. Angelina said some of the questions were kind of funny, now she has to wait until the manager looks over her answers to see if she gets called back for another interview.

When she applies at Limitied Too back in November, she was hired in the spot, looks like B-a-B really goes the distance with their hiring practices.

OK, I've got to run and meet the girls for dinner at Wendy's.......

I am sure she will hear some good news tomorrow. She is your daughter after all so how can they not love her..

No need to worry about Lines Mate ....

Heres a good pic from POTC of Mr. Cotton

ANYONE who knows/has connections to the GREAT and POWERFUL Tag Fairy...I beseech you...You MUST get this man a tag...
"Do you know the Nutmeg Man, The Nutmeg Man, The Nutmeg Man?
Do you know the Nutmeg Man, who lives here on the DIS?"

It's gotta be OPTION "C" Baby!!!

<chuckles>​

 

[ChrizJen]

That is different...not sure if it's exactly my cup of tea but would probably be willing to see something like it to at least have the experience.

That's exactly what I thought. I was glad I hadn't paid for the tickets (which ended up being first row behing the orchestra pit, BTW!!
But it was a nice evening out...

 

[The FairyGodmother]

I have a parrot you can borrow if you want. He isn't a blue and gold but he can talk for you.

 

[Diznyfan68]

Lorri, Are you feeling any better?

Hi Laura,

Feeling better - just wish I could get rid of the fever and get my appetite back. I'm going back to work tomorrow no mater what though.

Are you back 100% yet?

I'd go with the wide angle if you are asking the question for a 'vacation lens' I have both & I rarely take my macro on trips, and I never really miss it. I use the wide angle quite often for scenery pics.

Yeah, baby, yeah!

 

[ChrizJen]

DW & DS went to the zoo today. He had a blast feeding the giraffes (his favorite animal since that was his first stuffed toy as an infant). I feel ya though about being stuck inside.

I get all giddy and gooey inside when I think of trips to the zoo/park with a child...
I'll bet they had a GREAT time!! (and lots of great pictures?!?!)

 

[The FairyGodmother]

Hi Laura,

Feeling better - just wish I could get rid of the fever and get my appetite back. I'm going back to work tomorrow no mater what though.

Are you back 100% yet?

Sorry you are still dealing with the effects of this. Not fun at all. I would say I am about 90% still dealing with some cough, (mostly at night) an sniffles but for the most part good. I can do my miles in the am with out trouble breathing.
