The AC was running full blast today in my department (Finance) but it was fairly warm in the rest of the building. I quess paying the bill helps.

That is why the league officially changed it's name to ECHL. Las Vegas & Bakersfield are also in the league.
GO ACES! Defending Kelley Cup Champions.

57% of statistics cited are made up on the spot.

But 35% more fans prefer the Trenton Titans (soon to be Trenton Devils) to those Aces..... (but the Trenton Titans will be watching the rest of the playoffs)

The President of ECHL is my neighbor..... still haven't managed to get him to give me good tickets....

Our deal has always been that when DH retires we are going to wherever I get the best job offer...and I'm going to change my mind every three years.

And you aren't thinking Orlando or PC?

Yes, the building had more than one door, but the moose was between me and my car no matter what door I used to exit the building. I had my hockey stick with me, but I don't think it would have done much damage to a moose. My slap shot sucks.

Perhaps some work on the slapshot is in order?

 

[tom31b]

Wow! Three in a row. Everyone must be enjoying the weather or hiding from the hail....

Somewhere in here I passed 500 posts and continue to move up on the thread posting stats. I blame all of you for this obsessive compulsive behavior (no personal accountability here) Yikes this DISease can be quite obsessive....

Is it true that 82% of people who post more than 500 times on DISboards are hopelessly addicted and are 38% more likely to take a TOAL or two?

Good night friends

Press Release Detail​

Disney Cruise Line Signs Contract with Meyer Werft To Build Two New Ships
New ships will more than double passenger capacity​

CELEBRATION, Fla. (April 23, 2007) -- Disney Cruise Line announced today that it has finalized a contract with Meyer Werft shipyard to build two new ships.​

Disney Cruise Line President Tom McAlpin and Bernard Meyer, managing partner of Meyer Werft shipyard of Papenburg, Germany, signed the contract in front of several hundred cheering cast members at a Disney Cruise Line cast gathering this morning.​

"This is an exciting time at Disney Cruise Line, and we are looking forward to working with Meyer Werft to build two new innovative ships that will take our immersive family-focused cruise experience to an entirely new level," McAlpin said.​

Plans to add two 124,000-ton ships to the fleet were announced in February when executives signed a letter of intent to negotiate a construction contract with Meyer Werft.​

Scheduled to launch in 2011 and 2012, the ships will more than double the passenger capacity for Disney Cruise Line to meet the sustained demand for Disney's family cruise vacations. ​

The new ocean liners will be significantly larger than the existing 83,000-ton ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder with 1,250 staterooms each. Both ships will be built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. ​

Disney Cruise Line established the family market within the cruise industry when the business launched in 1998. The first two ships were purpose built for families to reconnect and recharge while creating vacation memories that will last a lifetime. From a theater featuring live musical spectaculars to a luxurious spa for adults and nearly an entire deck dedicated to children's activities, the ships truly offer something for everyone.​

Similar to the original Disney Cruise Line ships, the new ships will be modern interpretations of classic ocean liners of the 1930s. Disney Imagineers drew their inspiration from the original trans-Atlantic ships that featured a dramatic black hull with two funnels and porthole windows. The profile of the ships, with gentle curves at the stern combined with sleek angles at the bow, is reminiscent of the art deco designs of the era. To add whimsy to the classic design, the Disney ships feature the same exterior colors as Mickey Mouse, with a black, white, red and yellow palette. The new ships will feature elegant, detailed Disney scrollwork at the bow and evoke images of the glamour of the golden age of cruising.​

New itineraries​

Disney Cruise Line, which traditionally offers 3-, 4- and 7-night Caribbean cruises, has enjoyed strong demand for new itineraries. Trips to the Mediterranean and to the West Coast have recently set booking records within the company.​

"Expanding our fleet will give us the flexibility to offer a variety of itineraries in the future," McAlpin said. "We are looking forward to taking our guests on new adventures to different parts of the world with Disney Cruise Line." ​

To learn more about Disney Cruise Line or to book a vacation, guests can contact their travel agent, visit disneycruise.com or call Disney Cruise Line at (888) DCL-2500. Travel agents can call Disney Cruise Line at (888) 325-2500 or visit disneytravelagents.com.​

Disney is building two more ships? How did I miss this??

Is a slap shot to a moose cruelty to animals, hunting out of season or just plain sportsmanship? And are moose really that
dangerous to anyone other than ex-Pottsylvanian spies?


"Going commando appears to be an increasingly popular practice. A 2004 study of 7,000 people by the New York-based clothier Freshpair revealed that 9% of men and 7% of women go commando day-to-day. Those who do so semiregularly are much more numerous, possibly around 25-30%, and most people have tried it at some point."


But if you change your mind and want to move, unless you get an offer that includes relocation you have to foot the bill not Uncle Sam!

There is a clothier called "Freshpair" doing a study on underwear habits???

A good cross-check would probably do the trick.

Plus, those hockey players are pretty good fighters, eh?

Hi everyone! We just got back from Hilton Head. In hindsight I wish we didn't bother going. It was nice there, but the driving back & forth was very stressful. Especially on the way down when we hit heavy winds in the Carolinas. I did do quite a bit of the driving & actually most of the driving on the way home. Mike did get a chance to golf, we went on a dolphin cruise, we took a trip to Savannah for the day & ate at Paula Deen's restaurant, & otherwise just hung out at the pool. I never did feel really relaxed though & I think it was worrying about Mike's health & knowing we had to drive back home. Traffic was horrendous through Washington last night & through NY & most of CT today. As much as I hate flying....I've decided I hate driving so much more!

Anyway...when it rains it pours. I hate to keep sharing nothing but bad news with you all, but I just got word that my mother suffered another heart attack. She has already had two major heart surgeries & she has emphazema which requires her to be on oxygen at all times. She is refusing treatment & has decided that she does not want to fight anymore. She has not been a happy person for a few years now & I think this is the final straw. My sisters are there with her, but the doctors say that if she is refusing breathing and other treatments, that she is not going to make it. It looks like I might be flying out to Orlando first thing tomorrow morning. I have not been close with my mother for some time now due to long standing issues, but I would not feel right if I did not have a chance to say goodbye.

Don't know when I'll have time to catch up here, but I hope everyone is well!

Oh Diane....I am so sorry my friend....I wish I had some words of comfort of wisdom for you.......I do hope that you get a little time to look after yourself soon......you certainly have had a great deal of stress in your life these last couple of weeks.......I will be thinking about you and praying for all of you.

We are on the FTPD plan here, too!

I tried to plot out the budget through the TOAL the other day and almost made my head explode.

Budget????? Budget????? Oh no, now I'm getting all weepy again If I really think about the price of the Repo I'd BAIL!!

Anyway.....how can we possible budget for the Trip Of A Lifetime right? (At least that's what I keep telling myself)
