[JLDSMD]

Sorry, I came back in from clearing the end of the drive and saw we were on the verge of a mini, I just through up some 's

Got the large snowblower to work so clearing the snow wasn't too bad.

Too late?

<sigh> WAY too late. The system logged me off and I had to log back in. Oh well.

Seeing how this thread has taken on a life of its own. What do you guys think of starting part 2 just for planning ideas? We could leave this thread to get to know each other, which is very difficult now with the number of posts everyday.

No Need for another thread ....the website once it is up and running will have all that important type stuff ...Lisa is working her Tail off to get it done .....

Yea, but once I get caught up here, I will then have to get caught up on my e-mails, by then Survivor will be on, and my laptop will be in sleep mode!!!

Oh, yes, my son has been reminding me all day that Survivor comes on tonight.

 

[ChrizJen]

Congratulations, Andy!!

NEW RULE!

THE PERSON WHO GETS 15,000 HAS TO BUY EVERYONE A DRINK ON THE CRUISE FOR PEOPLE POSTING AND NOT ON THE CASTERWAY CLUB EVENING!

Okay, I'm fairly certain I won't be around tonight for the so can I put my drink order in now?

My two are missing the first week of 2nd & 3rd grades. Somehow, I dare anyone to tell me that they weren't learning while they were out of school.

I totally agree. However, we have had teachers that were not so agreeing in our times of travel. One cruise my kids backpacks weighed more than their suitcases. They were both all A students but never recovered from that trip. Even though they did all the homework plus extra credit. The teachers never gave them a break the rest of the year. We were gone for a wedding so it was not our choice when to take the trip as my DH and I were standing up in the wedding.

Thankfully, our school district just changed the school start days to after Labor day for the first time in a very long time, this year.

Umm....When we were on the 1/13 Western, they no longer had the CC reception. They had some late morning get together that didn't include drinks or the large spread. You did get a Mickey Rice Krispie treat.

 

[ChrizJen]

Alright, it's time to head out! Have a good evening, and I will check in before bed tonight! See ya!

 

[The FairyGodmother]

Thank you for all the Welcomes!!! Glad to be aboard!!!

Todd, I like the addition to your sig banner.

 

[Verandah Man]

Well, you finally got it! Guess DD was otherwise occupied!

Oh, but I do have others, I think this makes #5 mini for me, could be more, but I know it's at least 5 mini

DD is in her room getting ready for her high school musical practice.

 

[captaincrash]

Oh my goodness!!!!
I am officially writing to say Hello!!! I swore to myself, " Self, you can't post until you have read all the posts so you know what you are talking about" Today I told myself "the H E double toothpicks with that because the thread moves to fast that by the time some one reads what I write it won't matter if I don't have a clue what I said"
Now that I have totally confused myself, let me introduce myself.
My name is Laura and my husband Mark has just booked us on this cruise. I am sure that he has posted that we booked but darned if I can find where it is in the multitude of wonderful discussions going on here. His screen name is Disneypilots, in case we ever get to post again.
We are traveling with our DD who will be 17 and an entering her senior year the week after the cruise and our DS who will be 15 and probably wanting us to drive to LA so he can get in his miles to earn his Drivers license. Also, traveling with us will by my MIL and FIL.
Can't wait to meet all of you wonderful pirates and wenches, swabbies too. I do have to say that I am looking forward to meeting Todd as he has claimed the role of "THE" Pirate for this cruise, however, my DH has been calling himself Pirate for years now and will all ways be the true Pirate in my heart. I guess I will have to make us costumes. BTW I have two live parrots if someone wants to figure out how to smuggle them onto the ship for their costumes. Can't guarantee you won't need an eye patch afterward however.
I started to read the posts and read 250 yesterday and was heading for more today but real life keeps interfering. Hate that.

Here's my recap info.

Met DH at a wedding....long story.
I would be Doc if I was a Dwarf because he tends to mix up his words and I spend half my typing time doing corrections.
There was discussion on Lego's. Love Lego's. I coached a Lego Robotics team for 5 years. Even won a few 1st place trophies.
I say pah-cahn
love soft serve ice cream with sprinkles
was desperately in love with Leif Garrett, gotta love Tiger Beat mag.
Love motorcycles, DH has a Anniversary Harley Softtail. I think that might have been a discussion I missed but saw it in the recaps.
Love Crashes pictures and Andy's smilies.
Can't get enough of Target and gotta have the sales at Wal-marts too.
We have been to Aruba and will gladly give you directions to the bars. Or you could just take the Jolly Pirates cruise. The best time.
Be glad to bring some batteries or maybe just the rum.
Don't have a tattoo but would love to see others, to get ideas of course
I don't care much for lime green but would gladly be tagged with a bracelet. Will need to read more to figure details on how to get those.
Love all the pictures, from weddings to pirates to green shirts
Think that Todd has an awesome talent for graphic designs. Very impressive.
My screen name comes from the fact that my dream job would to be The Fairy Godmother. Gotta love that wand!!!!!
Hope I can do a zip line.
if Downrivermama is still around, Howdy neighbor!!!
Gotta have ispell to edit your posts since there isn't spell check here.
Don't care when I eat, as long as there is food. After dieting to get into a bathing suit, I will be ready for any seating.
I am definitely ON THE LIST!!!!!
and by the way TAKE WHAT YOU CAN!!!!

whew, thats it for now. need a nap or a massage or a drink, or well.. maybe I will just read some more posts.




Wow, I hope that covers it for now.

Well now...

... I do believe Laura here takes the cake for the longest introductory posting I have ever seen - or can recollect to have seen! With that in mind ... I thought it would only be fitting if I dredged up a welcome cake for Laura...

Welcome to the Pirate Party Laura!!!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Congratulations!

(and now I feel better about scooping your mini this morning...)

Welcome to the Pirate Party Laura!!!!!

Thank you crash. Remember, I just read through almost all the posts in about 3 days so I will gladly take your cake. Would anyone like to share.

 

[JLDSMD]

No insult but you never did answer if you will bring Cheese Curds??

Not a Cheese Curd fan, but I'll have to look into it. I think I'd need one suitcase alone for enough cheese curds for this group.

Hmmm... I have another hockey game tonight. I wonder if I can post something completely random before I leave and accidentally snag another ...hmmmm.

Just because I know you care - I scored a goal last night too! A pirate and a goal in the same night. Yay Me!

OK, I need to leave by 6:30 my time, so please time your posts appropriately.

Well, we had the same thing happen to DS when he was in KINDERGARTEN. Of course, that was more about the teacher's issues than anything to do with my child.

For this cruise, we'll be talking to the Principal in the next few weeks, just to make sure she's aware of our plans and that this isn't something we take lightly.
