Andy, these are Beautiful! I especially enjoyed the pool shots and the underwater ones are unbelievable!

You can count me in this little club too Stacey! I have 2 bad knees. One since Jr. High ('70-'73). The left one used to dislocate all the time and the other is bone on bone. Just love the cold and rainy weather...not!

Debi, you just put chills down my spine..........my left knee was bone on bone before I had the partial knee replacement. I was my surgeon's first patient that had a new procedure done back in March 2001. My scar is only about 4" long, the old way of doing it, would had given me a scar of about 10" in length. I think I still have a copy of an x-ray in my pictures file of what my left knee looks like after the surgery. I will see if I can find it for you.

 

[dahuffy]

Yes. I changed our ressie from the Cat 11 on deck 5 to a Cat 12 GTY and saved $770.00.

We were going to do this one for my 50th birthday but,we slept on it instead. Figured it would be best to put the money towards the TOAL. They'll do something like this again sometime, I hope.

 

[dahuffy]

thanks for the news letter!!!
im very sad we wont be at alcpoco longer
on the last cruise we went on we did a magnet exchange so when you you woke up or came back to your room the was different magnets on the door some were for the holidays some were diffrent states (which it had started out by bringing state magnets) just a suggestion we had alot of fun running around the ship putting magenents on peoples door i would orginize if noone has suggested yet or if anyones is intrusted

sounds like fun!!

 

[dahuffy]

Oh ther be planks O plenty around the Ole Magic ...One must first open there one good eye to see them ...

 

[Verandah Man]

Debi--I couldn't find the pic that I scanned in to my old desktop computer, but the pic of the knee below is just what my left knee looks like after having the partial knee replacement. If only one side of your knee is bone on bone, this is the way to go!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Gee...........I didn't mean to scare everyone off..............

 

[yargrnhoj]

I wonder if JR has a picture of the plank in the set that had the deck 10 soda machine....

Yes, I do.

Does your knee make that cool sound like Lee Majors' in Six Million Dollar Man?

Anyone else like the fact Bush thumbed his nose at China by receiving the Dalai Lama at the White House? The Dalai Lama is to receive a Congressional Gold Medal on Wednesday. President George W. Bush will attend the ceremony, the first time that a sitting U.S. president has appeared with him in public.

Yes, The President said he was very excited to meet the Dalai Lama, since it had been a long time since he had been to a zoo.

Andy, these are Beautiful! I especially enjoyed the pool shots and the underwater ones are unbelievable!

The pool & U/W ones were taken with an Olympus 770SW (I bought it at Shutters). It needs no housing and is good to 33ft of water. Cost - about $350

You have no idea how difficult it is sometimes to find "apporpriate" images. Hence, many of my images are not quite appropriate! <chuckles> A near miss in the hand is worth 3 perfect opportunities missed entirely. I will admit thought... that searching for images is sometimes a "journey" all by itself sometimes.
I'm still sort of in a wierd state from the anti-sea sickness medication i took yesterday. Boy - that new ferry we tried was SMALL... and rough riding to Catalina. It was so bad it knocked out all three girls - and I very nearly tossed my cookies. Alicia let some cookies fly on the ride out. Anyway - I'm not feeling entirely myself today - but OK just the same.

Always have to take an opportunity!

Hope you are feeling better!

The secret Santa sounds great. Count me in.

It really was great to get the latest newsletter. Thanks.

I haven't been on lately so playing ketchup. It has been a tough week. My dad passed away on Sunday and the funeral was today. The board has been a great diversion this week. Something to keep my mind off all that is going on around here. I feel the need to share with all of you fellow cruisers, even if I don't post too often. I usually get on a couple of time a day to read all the posts. (Shh, mostly when I have a lull at work.) I feel I know all of you and look forward to meeting you in person.

Now if I can figure out how to post all those great pictures. I have gotten as far as signing up at Photobucket.

Here you go....

Perfect! Thanks Stace! That's for you Jack for dissing my Red Sox!

HEY TOM!!! Um I hate to be a pain in the add, but is there a way to access a copy of the newsletter on the website? For some odd reason my email address was listed under my acct. in the website to allshookup@null . I changed it back to my real email address so hopefully I'll get the next one, but I didn't get the latest edition (I did get the first 2). I'm assuming it's because of the odd email address that was listed?

Great pics Thanks for sharing

Ahoy Crew -

I received the following email from our printer today.



I've let Walt know that he still has the project. He hadn't heard from us in a while as we'd decided to combine everything into a single order in the May 2008 timeframe. I've also asked that he send along the samples. Perhaps we can pass them around from DIS meet to DIS meet.

With the new technology pricing has changed. The good news is there are no more set up charges! (I'm reconfirming this with Walt, just to be certain.) As well, every piece we order counts towards the total quantity discount.

These are the estimated prices for t-shirts (estimated, as I've only taken a stab at sales tax, etc. in order to get this news out to you quickly.)
...................<200.... <300.... <400.... >401
Adult Black... $20.00.. $18.50. $16.25.. $15.25
Adult White.. $18.50.. $17.00. $15.00.. $14.00

Child Black.... $18.50.. $17.00. $14.50.. $13.75
Child White.... $16.00. $14.25. $12.75.. $12.00

He also sent prices for printing only on stuff that I send him - pillow cases and the like. I'll figure that out later.

Sorry about all the periods, it was the only way I could figure out to get the columns to line up.

Thanks so much for the update Is there a list started for ordering ?

Anyone else like the fact Bush thumbed his nose at China by receiving the Dalai Lama at the White House? The Dalai Lama, has lived in exile in India since staging a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 and he is to receive a Congressional Gold Medal (the highest honor a civilian may receive from Congress) on Wednesday.

Considering that the Chinese government has been thumbing their noses at us with regard to intellectual property...yeah I like it

I'm not going to be around (not that I post a lot) as I'm off to Cambodia tomorrow. I'm doing this trip for anyone interested http://www.intrepidtravel.com/trips/KSM with a couple of days either side in Singapore.

Now it looks great... except for the part about the crunchy spiders
Hope to hear about it when you return

Cool pic
Amazing what they can do now

 

[PBader]

With that notion in mind - why should we wait until we sail before we have some extra fun? - would anyone be up for a PRE-CRUISE SECRET MICKEY game? We could gather names of those interested - and do a "gift exchange" on a secret basis by MAIL for Christmas, Thanksgiving and Valentines Day (maybe)? The gifts would all be modest - and perhaps tons of FUN and good for a few CHUCKLES!!!! I would be happy to assist on a committe to pull this off!

Tom, that sounds fun.

Hi all and welcome to those that have just found us

I'm not going to be around (not that I post a lot) as I'm off to Cambodia tomorrow. I'm doing this trip for anyone interested http://www.intrepidtravel.com/trips/KSM with a couple of days either side in Singapore.

Have fun and talk to you all soon!

Paula, have a wonderful vacation. It sounds very
interesting

Well, we are getting off of the ship in Cartagena, so I want to be prepared.

Deanna, that is too funny

Hi all,

I just wanted to give a big "thank-you" to Tom for the latest edition of the newsletter. I know I don't post much, but I try to read as much as I can and look forward to meeting everyone when we are finally on the ship. One of the reasons I have so little time (in addition to working) is that I am training for my very first full marathon this coming January at WDW. I am in my mid-fifties and overweight, so this is no small endeavor. I have been training since last January and have never worked so hard at anything in my life. I am relatively slow, so training consumes hours and hours each week. I noticed that sk8ingmom's DH is also doing it and wondered if there is anyone else who has signed up for either the Mickey(26.2 mi) or Donald (13.1).

That is great! Sounds like you are really committed.

We wanted to do the REAS package for this cruise. We figured we'd have time to relax and use some of the things like the Rainforest Pass, champagne breakfast, etc. Unfortunately, we found out that they don't offer the package on cruises that are longer than 7 nights. So no REAS for the TOAL.

That seems just plain silly. Why on earth wouldn't they do it on longer cruises? It's not like it costs them extra or anything... Did they give you a reason or just say "Tough Luck!"?

Mike and Sara they told me the same thing a month or so ago when I emailed them. I would have been more than happy to pay extra on top of the package for the extended time. I really wanted it for the 105 day advantage to booking Palo and excursions.

So sorry for your loss

Paula, I am called mema(that is how we spell it) too. I thought I had an orginal name from my DGD.

Cheryl my nephew started it and it has stuck. I tried so hard to get Adam to call my Mom Gramma, but it wasn't happening--she's Memaw!
