8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 11

[yargrnhoj]

Maybe that's why I haven't been on. I've been on a hunt for little tiny squares...

I didn't really intend for anyone to count all those squares...

Well, who else is going to teach her if not her mom and dad?

Reading this post reminded me of a story.

There was this long plane flight and a new young, stewardess taking her first flight,

Suddenly over the Atlantic the captain lost one Engine,
He announces to the passengers, do not worry we should be ok.
Then the other engine goes.
He announces ladies and gentlemen we are three hours away from the cost of America.
We can stay up in the air for 60 minutes more, so we will not make it, and will ditch in the sea, I suggest you use this time to make peace with yourself.

The young stewardess in a panic runs down the plane, shouting,
I am too young to die, I am too young to die, and I haven’t experienced life yet,
I am still a girl; I haven’t the experience of being a real woman.

She shouts out,
can any man make me feel like a real woman in my last minutes?

A man comes up to her takes his trousers off and says,.

Don’t worry love,

IRON THESE FOR ME.

Do they have irons on planes????

I am still laughing at the April Fool's DCL letter!!!

Right now, they're working on Midway Madness and Lasseter's calling the shots. I have high hopes for this. It should be open by the time our cruise leaves. They're also working on a show for the lagoon, They're going to re-theme the entire park (slowly!) to be more time specific, too. The front section will be CA of the 1920's and 30's (when Walt came here) and the seaside rollercoaster section is going to go Victorian.

That sounds better.

good enough reasons for me


the talk the other day about Tortuga rum cake has me seriuosly tempted to order some online.....hmm....wonder how many points a slice of that is?...heck who can stop at a slice....it'd be the whole thing

I think I still have some of that somewhere...

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Oh those rum cakes!!!

When we were in Grand Caymen on the Magic in August 2004 were were at there store and they had trays of samples out for people to try. People were buying the boxed gifts and spending lots of money. When my dear sister(Reenieny18)(someone has a picture of her going up to the bar at the adult pool asking for an extension cord. The bartender told her that her smoothie maker was better then the one they have at the bar!) who along with MaryRose are the blender smoothie queens asked about buying the tray of samples. She bought 8 trays and I bought 2. They were the size of sheet cakes and they charged us $8.00US ea.
We had a smoothie party when we got back on ship by the adult pool and we pulled out these sheet cakes of different flavors of rum cake. People were asking how we got these trays, that we had the sample sheet cakes of the different flavors of rum. Leave it to my sister to find a bargain!!!

BTW everyone, Angelina starts her training at Build-a-Bear this Saturday morning at 9:30!!!

Congrats to Angelina!

That reminds me of a totally innocent comment that I made when I was a teen and helping change the toilet seat. Mother couldn't figure out which way to turn the screw so I told her that was easy because all screws are the same.

I learnt this weekend that my boys (DS13 and DS10) are becoming teens. We went to a White Sox-Braves exhibition game in Atlanta and I said the pitcher needed to be careful because "Konerko has two balls on him". Both of my sons snickered. Now I have to watch my language.

Yes, Daddy is the marshmallow man that doles out the hugs when things go wrong with his little honey. When he hears some of the goings on it makes him crazy. Tears, fuggetaboutit....he crumbles. But, then he projects his old school wisdom, "When someone hits you....", and proceeds to give her pointers on how you lean all your weight into your punch for the most effect . YEP, have you met my DH, the most un-PC person on our cruise???

Oh he should get along great with my DH! Mine is also very un-PC!

Well my MRI results are in and the diagnosis' is Cervical Spinal Stenosis.
I am going to pick up my PT order later today and get a 'cript for an anti inflammatory.

Anyone have any experience with this? PT recommendations?

gonna ketchup and see what is going on..

No recommendations, but just want to say that I'm sorry you have to deal with this!

We can compare PT. Degenerative Disc Disease. Lots of learning how to stretch the back out and they had me doing lots of core strength exercises. Quit and started doing them at home and at my own gym. Felt better after 2 weeks I have to admit. Before going had the worst pain in my butt ,( ok I know i'm a sitting patsy for a joke) and couldn't walk too far without the pain setting in. Hope yours goes well.

Sorry you have pain issues too Arlene!

Good morning ta ya Andrew!

I am actually on the trailing edge of my day...

We just booked visits for Boston in November, Honolulu in August, and Vegas next week. All done in the last week or so... crazy I tell ya'. We would have added another visit to Honolulu in December but the fares jumped while we were lining up the hotels... so we'll fade from those plans until we line up an attractive are fare. Plus we're planning to build a cabana/playhouse + rennovate the backyard landscaping this spring/summer... so I've had a busy time of it as of late.

At any rate....

Okay well that clinches it! We must plan a mini-meet for the Boston area in November!

If ya wanna stay a few more weeks, we will be there from the 21st to 29th of June....

If you want to stay one more week after that...we will be there from Aug. 6th to the 17th.

Be prepared, you are the only one still DISing this week, the rest may be nuts with DIS withdrawal and needing a fix from you....

So true!!!

Andrew - you are so informative! Thanks for information. I guess we don't have to worry about DISNEY!

KAREN

ITA! That was very interesting to see!

I wonder if alot of people who are going on the Med cruise will be making a stop to DL Paris. That will sure bring up the attendance.

I must admit that out of all the parks AK is my least favorite. I have gone there to go on EE and the safari. Sometimes I skip this park altogether and spend more time at the others.

Karen

I used to go there just for the Safari & the pot stickers in spicy broth they sold near Kali River Rapids, (yes sad but I plan my days around food ). Unfortunately they closed the stand to make way for the new Asian restaurant they are building. I hope they still serve those pot stickers.

But it's already totally rediculous that a professional like Melinda was allowed to be on in the first place... The whole premise of the show is that it is undiscovered amateurs.....

People who have been signing backup for recording artists aren't necessarily amateurs....

(same for Brandon or was it Brendon)

PS..Glad to see you again BIP

I know! With all her experience, are you telling me she didn't know SOMEBODY in the record industry that would give her a break? Seems very odd.

DS5 fell this evening, and I'm still trying to figure out the physics involved. He hit top front of head (managed to bang next to his right eye) on a low window sill, lower back, and knees in that order. Lots and lots of crying, but nothing wrong a little ice and couldn't fix.

He'll admit to walking on his bed and falling off it. I don't think he was jumping or he'd have been hurt worse. So he came off the foot of his bed, hit is head, must have bounced off either the end of the bed or bookshelf (to get his back) and then hit his knees. Though DS10 says he flipped over during the fall. I dunno - it'll remain a mystery.

In any case, he's convinced himself that walking (and jumping) on the bed is a bad idea. One of those self correcting experiences.

I'm just glad it was so minor.

I'm glad he's okay! This story reminds me of when DS had a big fall. We had a class C RV once & we put DD & DS (I think around 5 at the time) on the top bed above the driving compartment. Anyway, stupid me I thought if I put them front to back instead of side by side, they would not roll out. Big mistake! DS fell off in the middle of the night! OMG I thought we killed him!!! He told us his back hurt really bad, but he did not hit his head & he just wanted to sleep! I wanted to unhook everything (which would've been a nightmare in the middle of the night) & take him to the hospital. DH said to wait till morning & if he was still in pain we would take him to the ER to get checked out. Needless to say, DH slept up on that bunk & the kids slept with me on the back bed. I was afraid to let DS sleep & I think I watched him for about an hour to make sure he was breathing okay. Next morning? Up running around the campsite like nothing ever happened! Amazing how resilient they are!

DS still vaguely remembers the incident, but I know DH & I will always feel guilty that we put them up there that night. DH just mentioned it again the other day, that he has reaccurring nightmares about it.

So DW was wondering what it is y'all do for a living that you have so much free time to not just OCP Disney trips (not to mention talk about them on the DIS all day long) but also go on multiple WDW/DL/DCL trips in a year? With our friends across the sea (Andrew to name a few) it's easy because our American 2-3 weeks of holiday per year is considered barbaric over there! When we were on a trip to St. Lucia and Jamaica we ran into a Brit family that had been in St. Lucia for 3 weeks and were off to Turks & Caicos for another 3 weeks!

My DH has worked for the city for 18 years & like Andy, he has a lot of vacation time. I am a SAHM at least for the next year anyway. Of course when DH gets home from work, he knows why the laundry, dishes, etc. aren't done.

I looked into having a moat built, but the cost is prohibitive. But I do "have a .45 and a shovel".

You will also get along great with DH!

Two days is still about right. Do DL in the early AM one day, DCA in the PM, and then all day at DL the second day. Finish with fireworks.

Thanks! I will definitely follow this advice!

This guy and his girlfriend had had been dating for over a year, and decided to get married.

One day his girlfriend's 18-year-old sister called and asked him to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when he arrived. She whispered to him that soon he was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for him that she couldn't overcome. She told him that she wanted to make love to him just once before he got married and committed his life to her sister.

The man stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door and walked towards his car.

His future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "we are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."

The moral of the story?

Always keep your condoms in your car.

Now I know why I hate Dook! Again I pull for them and again ......

I'll learn to not do that at any time.

How can you root for Dook?

 

[allshookup]

Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughto
Bug your parents....

Well we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly, we don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well it sure beats raising cattle....

"Smells like Nirvana", Weird Al.

JperiodspaceRperiod I called DS (9) over to read your post because he's a huge Weird Al fan & he insists that I tell you......he votes for !

I know I quoted before but just read again and at the start its ''this guy'' and by the end its dad hugged ''ME'' is it Conceivable or in-Conceivable this is based on your life?

 

[yargrnhoj]

Actually, you can thank Snow White for that pose.

Very cute pics!

 

[yargrnhoj]

We might be Square. We are starting a dance class tomorrow night. Then out for coffee and dessert with some friends.

It's not SQUARE dancing is it?
