:wave: Mornin' All and T.G.I.F.!!!

Congrats Debi on your eBay win!!!

I won this early this morning on eBay as well. I placed my bid at 12:11 this morning, about 90 seconds before bid closing. Chip and Dale are favorites of mine, so when I saw this litho the other day, I knew I just had to go after it. After it arrives, I'm going to have it framed like the other DCL lithos I have. Only trouble is, I didn't get to sleep until after 1am this morning, and boy am I paying for it now.........:lmao:

I just like the last picture!!! Congrats on posts!!!!:yay: :yay:

That's a lot more blue than any Tanzanite I've ever seen. Its more like a pale Amethyst to me. Hmmm....may just be my monitor....every image I've tried to pull up is blue like that, but in person it's always been lavendar.

I can remember back in '98 when I was in Grand Cayman they were telling us how rare this stone was and how it was going to all be mined soon. So we really needed to invest then so that we were sure to get some stones. Guess they must have found another source for Tanzanite. Glad I didn't succomb to the sales pressure.

Mine is much more purple.:rolleyes1 I actually have a lighter color and two darker colors of purple.:flower3:

my tanzanites (yeah, I succumbed :rotfl: ) have much more purple in them. I don't regret the "succumbing" though because I love the color. Mine I bought because I liked them...not for appreciation - and ,as mentioned, know nothing about buying jewelry so I buy what I like at a price I can afford - and rarely buy at that. There is just something about that color!!!!:)

the emeralds - I will try to educate myself before we leave, but will probably end up at a place Disney recommends and just do the "buy what I like and can afford thing".

pirate:

I think I will play it safe and stick with Disney recommendation too!!:flower3:

I finally got around to taking a couple photos of the holiday lights around our house. We were having some power problems earlier this week (CommEd was providing one leg at 130V and the other at 145V!!!!!) so DH had unplugged most of them. He had most of it plugged back in last night, but there are a few bushes/trees missing. If he gets them back on tonight, I'll go back out and shoot a few more photos.

I haven't really learned my new camera yet so these are taken with the default "landscape" mode and a tripod. I think the last one is overexposed - but that also has something to do with the shear number of lights on DS's playset!

This is the front of the house - we own the lots on either side, so DH does some of the trees/bushes on both sides.

This is to the right of the house - in the very back you can see our garage (which also has lights!)

IMG_0007_sm.jpg

This is the lot on the left of the house - the glowing area in the center is DS8's playset.

Pamela (pdarrah)

The house is much prettier in person!!! I loved seeing it!!:yay: :yay:

The dresses people are getting or have are just BEAUTIFUL ! The wenches here have some good taste. So now I am counting on you for some honest feedback.

For princess night we are dressing up for one of the formal nights right? Or is this a seperate night?

Here is a pic. of a gown I bought like 3 years ago for an event that I never wore. Also the shoes and thought I would wear the headpiece that I wore when I got married. What do you all think?

Now I would have to lose a couple of pounds or I am not fitting into this gown.:rolleyes1

Yes my rings are definitely lavender rather than the vibrant blue in the posted pictures.

Why is it though that the more beautiful the stone, the more hideous the setting the put it in? :rotfl2:
 
LOL.

Watching coverage of our storm and there's a news ticker at the bottom of the screen. It said "Florida so cold iguanas dropping out of trees". That just struck me as funny. Didn't realize the iguanas warranted national news coverage.

I'd better watch out where I walk :lmao:

I'm wondering if that was why I caught a pic of an Iguana in a bathtub on tv? Didn't hear the story.

Debi here is the pic of Rocky.

It's a beautiful dress, Tina - go for it.

I'm hoping that it'll be one of the Formal nights, too, but we'll see when we get closer.

In addition to the bad weather, I had some bad news today. The new company I was working for let me go. So it's back to the job search for me.

Bah.

I'm still going on the cruise... I'm just not sure how I'm gonna pay for it.

Sara...at least we will see you more on chat!!:hug: :hug: I hope something good comes your way!!!

I'm signed up, right? :goodvibes

And I get to meet you!!!:rolleyes1

It's very pretty.... Ah wear the gloves to dinner...We'll leave the ST's to fend for themselves up on Deck 9 if they're too embarassed.



pressure...pressure... got have a decent ding 1st... Todays was only $69 but only good through 2/29.

No chat??? We missed you!!:flower3:

Been away from the boards and chat for four weeks -- what's going on. Logged into chat on the website, other than saying HI - didn't even get to chat = got a warning and bounced out and can't get back in. I'll try later and see if I can get in again - Hope everyone had a great holiday - Everything at WDW was great this year - Candlelight, Lights of Winter, the Castle lights and Osborne. Anyone planning any WDW mini meets?

Hi,
Made it through the storm w/no major problems BUT can't get logged on to Pirate Zone - much less chat - tried every name/pass word I might have ever used!!!
Why?????? Help!!
 
Oh - did finally get on - not sure if I remember what my password was!!

Got to chat for a minute!! Good night all
 
Just checking in with a very quick hello. I hope to go backwards tomorrow and read what all I've missed.We had company all week (one of the other "Escaping Moms" and her family) and the week before was our record number of 3 ER visits in one week....DS has MRSA Staph. He's doing much better now. So now that we've gotten all that over with, I can feel free to collapse.

Sorry to hear that you had a stressful holiday Stace. :grouphug: Glad to see you back and DS is doing better.
 
I believe you only need your KTTW card and a photo ID to reboard the ship. I usually bring my driver's license and my KTTW card and have never had a problem. Unless the policy is different for Cartagena I think we'll be all set with the photocopies. Just make sure they are color copies (only the photo/info page is necessary) and copy your driver's license as well (I usually copy both on the same page).

We never had to use our passports when we've done previous cruises so I don't see it will be any different. We did have to report for customs/immigration a few different times to non-US citizens so I'm guessing it will be much the same this time around.

Photo ID (we used our driver's licenses) and KTTW cards were sufficient to leave and reboard at each port as we'd already done immigration formalities.

I got on ok but got kicked out and couldn't get back in again.

I definitely won't be in chat next weekend as I'm working away from next Friday to the following Wednesday up north as lead consultant on a new IT system infrastructure implementation for a large (by NZ standards) law firm. I might have a few other things on my mind and for a few days, Disney will fade into the background.
 
Ok Guys with all the ladies deciding on what dresses and shoes they will buy and take, we shouldn't miss out on the fun, what are we going to take?

Should we have a discussion?
