8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 12

Don't you know mind-numbingly dull conference calls are the perfect time for a mani and a pedi?

Those would be the pool boys?

Sorry, not what I'm into....

What do you think? These Americans are complaining:
...that the food is too cold or hot, too fattening or healthy, too much or little, too exotic or ho-hum;
...that the ship is rocking too much;
...that the wonderful Jamaican Flounders nannies complained that DD was dropped off with a fully loaded diaper;
...that the kids' area of Deck 9 is too noisy but won't leave Jr. (12) to his own devices because they're way overprotective;
...that the cruise is too long;
...that they spent boocoo dollars and didn't get a private 3 hour audience with Mickey or Captain Tom.


But of course, those Americans aren't DISers!

Instead, the American DISers:
...will be handing out a frothy drink to anyone who wants one
...will gladly watch someone else's DKids so mom & dad can have some private Rasul/Palo time;
...will be walking around with a permagrin asking any DCL CM to confirm that the DISer is really truly on the Magic for TWO WEEKS!!

Too true!

Coming Summer 2007:

If you enjoyed Observations From an Airport a few weeks ago, just wait for Observations from a Passenger Seat.
3 weeks of posting fun!

Woohoo! This isn't going to coincide with the Harry Potter release is it? Because I need Jul 21 & 22 to polish that off...

Well, what I need to do is go back and collect weekly posting statistics (e.g. actual number of posts per week because monthly is not granular enough). Then we can correlate downturns based on absences of key posters. Can also then estimate posts per week for each poster and then adjust the estimate upwards or downwards.

Wish I had time to do this b/c it would be a fun exercise.

I'll be the first to admit that my post count has gone down but mostly because I've been forced to work at work...once we get through convention I'll have much more time to post during the day.

Plus the 13th is it for the movie?

Hello everybody

 

[radioclash2]

I've started a diet at the request of my doctor. I just had a rice cake for breakfast. It has no taste or appealing properties of any kind. I wonder if I could save money by eating sawdust from my workshop.

Does anybody actually like these rice cakes? Somebody must if they keep selling them.

Your gonna need to add some peanut butter to that rice cake, Or just eat the peanut butter & use the rice cake as a drink coaster. They also make pretty good frisbees.

With or without alligators? Could call them "gilly-gators" to make them kid friendly?

All right, I'm gonna need to drink with you too.

Imagine how much more creative we get with some inebriation!

As I sit here posting from my office it is clear that some of us have a "serious" problem.

I wish I could post from the office. All I can do is lurk & shop. For some reason I was compelled to buy $100 worth of L'Occitane today. It not like I have a TOAL to pay off.

Hi Everyone! Just got back from Florida last night. Thanks so much for all the good wishes. I haven't caught up by any means, but I read some of the responses from my post on Saturday & I can't tell you how much I appreciate the words of support!

My mother is hanging on, but the doctors are not sure for how long. It could be days, weeks, months. Her lungs & heart are shot so they say she is inoperable. My mother has been on oxygen for a few years now & her quality of life has continually decreased. My saint of a sister lives nearby & helps care for my mother since she has been unable to get around much on her own, but my sister also has to work to pay her bills & she is not with her all the time. My mother has refused to build an in-law onto my sister's home, because she doesn't think it's fair that she might be able to rent it out once she dies and make money off of it. (That just gives you an idea of how my mother thinks.) With this latest health issue, my mother will require much more care, since she can not even sit up at this point without gasping in pain. The hospital said there is nothing else they can do for her & they want to release her in the next day or two, but there is no way she can be on her own.

Anyway, we are hoping to get her into a rehab center which her insurance will pay for, but it is difficult to get a bed right now. Otherwise we will have to pay someone to stay with her until a bed opens up. I wish I could've stayed to help, but I had to come home & care for my kids. Mike took a few days off, while I was down there & he couldn't afford to take off any more. The rest of my brothers & one other sister do not live near my mother & also have to work. A couple did visit, but like me they have responiblilites at home. I am glad I got a chance to pay my respects, but it was very difficult to see her suffer & know there is not much I can do to help.

As for DH, he has a follow up appointment today, but otherwise seems to be doing very well. He has already lost a noticeble amount of weight in the last week & I think that is contributing greatly to his overall health. Hope everyone else is doing great!

Am I the only person left who has never been to Ikea?

I haven't either

It's been a really long time since we've had a sing along. So here's my dedication to Tom:

Too Much Time On My Hands

Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all
Well I'm so tired of losing- I got nothing to do and all day to do it
I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying
I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the president
(He's not the president)
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away at my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

How fitting!!!!
