[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Yep ...we Leave Early morning on the 16th ..dang .....Well dont forget we are planning a DIS meet at DL the weekend of March 14 ..Dont forget ...I think a nice lunch or dinner in DTD or DL at the Blue Bayou would be the perfect setting for us Pirates ....

Sounds like a plan.

 

[dahuffy]

Sorry I had to dive out of chat suddenly today. I just realised how late it was getting and I had a few chores I needed to do before it got dark.

We are having a really busy time at the moment as my inlaws are separating so we are helping them pack boxes as they have sold their house and need to be out by the 3rd August. Things should start to settle a bit after that.

Hope to catch you all next week!

I'm so sorry to hear that Paula. Hope everything works out for the best.

OK, so ketchup had the better of me. I guess that'll teach me for not reading on a daily basis. Got hit with shed loads of rain yesterday, luckily I never got stranded, but with water almost half way up the doors & a lorry going the other way creating a tidal wave, I did begin to wonder whether my little renatl car was infact going to sprout water wings & turn into a relation of chitty chitty bang bang!!!

It's yet another busy week coming up & as Lauren has now broken up for the summer hols there will be even more running around to do. We go on holiday to Ireland next week & I've never been so unprepared - discovered last night we didn't even have a map & Ireland is not on the European sat nav software we have.

I know it's still over a year away, but all the talk of the committees, activities etc. makes me excited & I'll be even worse come September when we can book flights - then to decide on previsit accommodation, hire car etc - so much to plan & so little time

I know there has been many posts about getting penpals for our various offspring & wondered whether it was worth trying to specifically co-ordinate something? What are people's views & how viable do we think it would be? I'm daft enough to say I'd be happy to co-ordinate a list as I know my DD (7) enjoys corresponding with others prior to the cruise.

I'm married to one of "those" too!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! LOL! Several of our children are also gamers. Our oldest and a friend drove to NC a couple of yrs ago to vist some of his & dh's online gamer friends! LOL!

Right this minute dh is on the computer next to mine playing COV and I think 9ds (Elvis) is either playing with him or playing COH on the computer on the other side of DH.....

9ds has a show tonight so, he is getting in some *play time* with his dad now -- most nights for the past 6 wks he's either had a show or rehearsals every night (except Sundays....)

DH wants y'all to know that they also have WOW accounts. ANd would love to play with a Diser or two....

[Sarangel]

Never mind. It only works with people with Gmail. Tom is the only one that I know of that has one.

I have one...

Of course I wasn't there last night, so I suppose the point is moot.

 

[Sarangel]

Well dont forget we are planning a DIS meet at DL the weekend of March 14 ..Dont forget ...I think a nice lunch or dinner in DTD or DL at the Blue Bayou would be the perfect setting for us Pirates ....

March 2008? Count us in. Somehow we'll find the time to get down there.

 

[kap158]

Well...

... my evening of relaxing has not been a total loss - I'm watching a movie on HD I've never seen before - the Sentinel - and it is very entertaining - and the sort of thing I would not watch with the kids around. What a nice break it's been - the last 90 minutes or so that is.

Good movie. You are right it is not a movie for kids.

I thought I was the only one not able to get into chat last nite. I hope it gets fixed for next Friday.

[kap158]

Karen there is no subject except getting to know each other & you're not off it! I wish you all the best!



This made me chuckle!



Woohoo!!!



Ah yep! That would be me!!!



Yeah! So happy to hear the good news!



I already had a few shots to get geared up for chat & now nothing? Just kidding! I only had coke! Cocoa Cola that is! Don't need to be drunk to join in. In fact trust me on this one....you're much better off if you're not!

Diane - thanks for your kind words. You don't know how much I appreciate them.

Karen

Well...

.. the threads' activity totals are mounting. The number of hits or visits to the thread now stand at 697,979! And obviously we're at 68,136+ postings. Amazing eh? The thread has existed since January 13th - 2:39PM. So to this postings' moment of initial inclusion (10:12PM) it makes it 188 days + 7 hours and 33 minutes old. This equates to 271,173 minutes.

So ... we've generated one new posting every 3 minutes and 58.792708700246565692145121521663 seconds. This also means we've had one new visit or hit to the thread every 23.31070132482495891710209046404 seconds over the life of the thread. So... I figure we have 392 days, 18 hours and 48 minutes to embarkation - assuming a 5PM embarkation. that translates into 565,608 minutes to go for us til we sail. SO... if we continue this pace of posting and hits - I would like to offer an unaudited estimate of an additional 142,116.9 postings to come to make for an estimated grand total of 210,253 postings at embarkation! Plus the number of hits is estimated to add 1,455,832.6 new hits/visits. So... the total hits/visits to the thread is estimated to be 2,153,812 at an embarkation time of 5PM.

It took me 37 minutes (including one small interruption to deal with a fiesty 3 year old!) to create this posting excluding the time spent to add this final comment. Not too bad, eh?​

Crash - we are so happy to have you in our group!!!

I am up for the drinking committee but what is a fish extender?


Karen

 

[Sarangel]

Karen

Fish Extender = roughly 8" wide set of pockets that you hang from your Mail Fish, so that all the DISers who want to can put stuff in the pockets. There ought to be a link around somewhere...

My DD and DS both play WOW. In fact DS had the beta version last year and was playing it to test it out.(yeah).This week, the DGKs rediscovered VMK and took over both computers. Just between us,I think the oldest just goes there to chat with the girls

[bellelinus]

Thanks!

Yes, as sarangel said, many people like to hang something from their fish to receive notes, small presents, etc. from other Dissers during the cruise . . . someone needed to be in charge of organizing the list closer to time, and with all the GTY cabins, it started seeming like a larger job than one person could handle, so we ended up with a committee. THe drinking part just came up in fun, but I think we plan to take it very seriously . . .

You can take DisneyVegas's plan and just be a part of the drinking activities . . . or let me know if you want to be a part of the fish extender part as well.

 

[Verandah Man]

Karen

Karen,

Here is a pic of the "Fish Extender" that someone put on our "Fish Mail" holder during our August 2006 cruise. To this day, I still do not know who put it there, but it sure came in handy during the cruise!!!

 

[captaincrash]

There are so many places in California that I'd like to visit. We're hoping for a few days at Disneyland before the TOAL, but we'll have to make another trip to hit some more places. Napa is definitely on our list!

I must confess to thinking the SAME thing - that there are a lot of places I'd like to get around to visiting in the state. AND I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA! I've lived here for over 4 decades ... and (EG) have only been to Yosemite twice - with the visit a couple of weeks ago being the 2nd occasion.

Seriously, I've been all over the state as you can imagine - but there really are still so many things I have not gotten to which I need to "do" some time soon before my walk on the planet nears an end! To say nothing of the destinations around the Country and World I have yet to experience in person!

I guess all that means is I ("we all") need to a move on and start travelin' about, eh?
