Well I had my good laugh for the day!

Background: We have vending machines in the cafe on the unsecure floor. One of the soda (pop for you Ohio folks ) machines is very, uh, tempermental. It's the kind that has the little arms that retract to allow the bottle/can to slide off the shelf and drop down. The little arm snaps back into position and blocks the next bottle from falling.

Well some of the arms either get stuck or snap back too fast thus preventing your item from falling. Worse yet, many times the bottle falls and is standing up when it gets to the bottom and so you can't open the door to get it!!

Went to get a soda just now and there's a sign on the machine:

Thank you, kind sir, for the tranlation

Let's just hope you don't drive all the way to Disneyland before the cruise, just to find it closed!

Don't even go there!

Welcome! Are those the current ages of your kids or the ages they will be on the cruise?

My DD will be 13 on the cruise.

Mine will 13 this month!!

The worst thing about booking so far in advance is aging your kids.

Sounds good to me!

Thats sounds so good to me too!! I was told I should receive a room number for my cat 5 by the end of this week. If not, I will be calling daily!!!
Anyone else a GTY to a real room number yet????

The jug handles don't bother me, it's the crazy traffic circles I hate!!! Although the state is starting to get rid of them!!!

Not the best pic, but I have to get back to work.

We call them there "rotaries" here in Mass. And, they are just an accident waiting to happen. No one seems to know who has the right of way

You made the right choice about Cozumel's dolphins at Chakanaab. We did it in 10/05 and between the current that rips through and the open metal grate that you stand on without water shoes, it wasn't too enjoyable.

ITA, I thought this was horrible.

Okay, I know this isn't a recipe thread, but I also know a lot of people are trying to slim down before the cruise....so I thought I'd share this. It is a recipe for Taco Soup....it's very low in fat, very high in fiber and protein (not low in sodium....but that it not a concern for me)....and really yummy! I think it is a weight watcher's recipe....and only has like 1 point per cup...

1 lb. LEAN (97% fat free) ground turkey, browned
1 large can tomato juice or V8
1 can corn
1 can mild chili beans
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans diced tomatoes w/chilies
1 envelope mild taco seasoning
1 envelope ranch dressing mix

After turkey is browned, dump in all other ingredients....heat and let simmer for 30-45 min. I just dumped all of the ingredients into my crock pot and I'll let it simmer all day. Also--I was brought up on sweet tomoato sauces, so I season mine with a little Splenda and garlic salt to taste.

Everyone that has tried it has been surprised how much they like it. I thought at first the corn would not taste right in it....but it does. And it has lots of veggies in every serving. Hope someone tries it!

Sounds good. I may just try it this weekend.

For thoose who have nor guessed and think I am mad paying off the repo so soon is a question of the dollar rate/pound rate. Currently its just under $2/£1

A few years back that was $1.34 to the pound, now our interst rates are high, but you cannot guanrtee the rate will stay this high so its a risk, I have more chance to loose money on exchange rates than the loss of interest if placed on savings which would be taxed anyway.

Hope DCL give me a pessie for all that money their sitting on for this and my Med cruise this year both paid off.

WOW - that has got to be record. Paid in full 18 months in advance

Congrats!!!!

now you can pay for mine

Congrats!!!

Thank you, however I now have to focus on saving for the flights booking in September and my summer Barcelona hotel and shore trip costs!

congrats!!!!

all I have to say is: thank goodness we have 18 months!!!!!

Things are totally different on the meets threads. Here we can chat, joke, and plan while getting to know each other before the cruise. Mark & Mary are not going on this cruise. I think they are doing an Eastern in April?

Don't worry, I'll let you guys know if you need to tone things down.

yeah, we've got a mod right there posting nonsense with us, so we won't get in trouble....
