8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 14

I actually thought YOU were one of the biters!

who me? No idea of what you're talking about!

Too bad Crash is off on vacation -- I'm sure he could have inserted a terrific animation of a chomping set of teeth right now . . .

Easier than pulling off my wedding ring and squinting at the date engraved inside....

Wonder how many folks are going to get married on 07-07-07 in Vegas?

LOL nice trick with the ring...mine's easy...New Year's Eve! Maybe one day we'll head back to Vegas on NYE to celebrate. Somehow the thought of being there with 750,000 of our closest friends isn't that appealing.

I just got an email from Disney stating that they've moved the launch date for the on-line Pirates of the Caribbean game at piratesonline.com from this spring to the upcoming fall. DS is NOT a happy camper right now. He's been dying to start playing this game! Oh well you know what they say about good things & all that!

I am sooooooo hacked off right now!!! Went to the bank about 3 weeks ago to order a new debit card because my current one is wearing out. Mag stripe doesn't read all the time etc. So the teller orders the card and said it would take 7-10 days.

3 weeks no card.

Stop back by the bank to check on it. Looks like they sent it to the old house in ABQ WTH? Why would they do that when they have the new addy in CO?

So she begins to order a new one. But several pauses/false starts ensue...uh, what's the new address; system won't mail a card to a post office box, how about it come to the branch; why the request for a new card; oh, damaged card okay; uh it's gonna take 7-10 days yada yada yada.

So I head out but figure I'll get some cash for dinner with M & family tonight. Use the ATM and viola:

WE'RE SORRY THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED AT THE ATM​

WTH?!?! So I go back inside and the teller girl is still typing away on her terminal. She finished ordering my card and then checked the system---she flagged my card....the one in my hand, the one used to ID myelf...as a lost card!!!!

Obviously it's not lost since it was in my

hand so she tries to undo it...nope, once flagged in the system, it's permanent!

Not even the bank manager could undo it

But they did have a solution. They issued me an Instant ATM Card. It's only good for getting $60 cash or $50 POS today. Tomorrow the limit goes up to the usual $1000. Okay, not too bad. Until I went to order something just now...I can't because the

thing doesn't have a Visa or MC logo! It's just a plain ATM card, can't use it for buying stuff online!

I called the bank and the banker was all "Oh yeah, I never thought about that. I guess we should try to get some temporary check cards in."

Well I've learned my lesson...if the bank weenie looks all of 15 despite having a nose piercing and doesn't exude full confidence in his/her ability to perform a task, go with a more senior person! I mean, she handled my cash withdrawal without a hitch. But now she's totally dorked up my card access, so much so that the banker who issued the instant card said I'll probably wind up getting two cards in the mail...a lot of good that'll do me since the one in my pocket may as well be an ice scraper.

By the way I have a suggestion for the website ...

A dining page

Can you put on there who all is in - Captains Dining and also who is all in Late dining (or as I Call it - Those that wish they were in Captains Dining ) JK hmmmmm a peanut ....

anyway there is my thought for the moment ..

 

[mkygrl]

Well our cab driver promptly got caught speeding and was pulled over and ticketed. Somebody obviously wanted us not to make it to our ADRs.

So anything that could go wrong did! Oh man!


And with all the ADR's would you believe we are actually taking it easy this trip and leaving room for flexibility! Seriously we are!

JR, thank you again for all your work.

I will do what I can to keep the site moving. If you want your and your families birthday's posted, add it to the calendar and I will approve as quick as possible.

I agree with the sections that JR is proposing to be public.

Other wise, please consider this. We have about 14 months until the trip. NOTHING, let me repeat, NOTHING on this website needs to be done today, this minute, right now, etc. Lets take our time and discuss things in a rational manner.

One of the really cool/great things about this website is that the content was provided by YOU (each and everyone of YOU). JR did the programming, but the links, the subject matter, the cool pictures, etc. were all pulled from the thread. WE as a group can be proud of this site.

Let's enjoy!

I would love to see the website! I don't mind if our info is posted! I am pretty sure I know who the spammer was (they were on the 10nt, also)... I don't believe they've posted since the *spam* was sent.
And i really wasn't bothered by the spam -- I just hit delete! When the same type of info was sent to me while posting before the 10nt I went to that website to check it out. It was *ok* but, it wasnt' a place that I could have allowed my kids to read and post --- my teenage dd & 9 ds posted/read the 10nt thread on a daily basis.

Do I need to send my info to someone?

 

[Stepht5]

Oh my gosh!!! I hope the rest of your weekend goes better!

PM your info to either yargrhnoj or tom31b . . . I think the website might be open to anyone now, but with no personal information on it until some issues are resolved.

Entrance Arch (though we went out the in on our visit...) Jakob is knocking at the door. He thought it was funny. 10 year olds.

Two of my uncles were born in Gardner , Montana. I thing I have a pic of them and my dad in front of it from the 1920's! Great pics.

I just counted, and we have 13 ADR's for our 12 night stay next month( and I have one more that I want to make). And we actually plan on taking it easy this trip too! We'll play it by ear as far as which park we go to and plan to swim a lot in the afternoons. But I like knowing that we'll have a nice sit down dinner each night. And being in an air-conditioned restaurant is a bonus!

When we went for new Year's Eve last year, I actually had breakfast, lunch, and dinner ADR's for that one day. The CM that made them said, "Boy, you guys like to eat a lot!" I just wanted to make sure that I had somewhere to sit 3 times that day, considering we were in Epcot for about 17 hours or so.

Next Tuesday, I get to make my ADR's for our trip in January. We're taking my Mom and Dad with us, so we need to plan ahead to get tables for 7. Plus it helps that I have Obsessive Planning Disorder.

It's nice to see that Capt is back.

Did you get to do some diving in Cozumel?

 

[captaincrash]

I stopped by the house to pick up some stuff and pop other things into the fridge - I then poped into chat to find at 6:15PM no one was there! I guess it truly is a time when everyone is traveling or otherwise doing other stuff!

OK... I gottaq get my daughter from Gymnastics but shall return soon... and I'll check chat when I get back

 

[wheelerkidz3]

good evening everyone! didn't realize it was friday already...darn holidays in the middle of the week really have me messed up!! guess i gotta get over to see if anyone is in chat....bye for now!!

I need to get a few e-mails exchanged with JR to get access for those who need it.

Todd, the dining section is a good idea, but it may need to be recreated. As near as I can tell from posts, all the original "personal" information has been deleted.

Nice! Rub it in!!!

Tom, I need to get this done to my ring. Our wedding was on the Saturday of time change in October. Always knew that when I heard that time change was coming it was time to get something for our anniversary. As of this year time change has been changed to November. So now I need to come up with a way that I won't forget it.

Yeah... I need to get mine engraved too with the wedding date - just so I can keep it "straight" ... and maybe while I'm at it I can add a phone number engraved in to call in case I "lose it" again!

Diane has he been playing the Beta version? I have a CD for it that I got at a fan event. I'd be happy to send to you. We have 2 and never even loaded either one.
