8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 8

[miztigg]

I know what you mean, I was hoping to see Garcia back again, I guess his age was against him, but come on. I'm also a Dolphins fan. I almost put a bid in for the Dan Marino signed helmet during our cruise last August, but it was a bit too many $$$$ for me.

Flyers and Sixers this season, please. I wear my Flyers cap at work, and boy do I get razzed about it. Sheeesh!

Time to get Angelina up, she isn't goin' to be too happy, she was hoping school was going to be called off today.

i stand by the flyers no matter what even with this season i know what ya mean about the hat i have a flyers tattoo i get picked on all the time but i dont care

Questions please?

Does anyone have any CHEAP ideas for how a small girl could dress up as a "Dr. Seuss character" for 1st grade in school? They do this every year (atleast I've gone thru it a few times because she's the last child) and I never know what to dress them as... short of buying a costume which I'm not going to do. So my kids always do not participate in this. Ofcourse my DIVA youngest daughter wants to dress up as something... but what? Any ideas? I'm at a loss on this one and even doing a google search to try to get ideas has only led me to cat in the hat costumes where a costume would have to be purchased or quite extensive to try to make one. I can't think of what kind of "character" she could be that wouldn't require a bunch of money to be spent! I have to figure out something by next Friday..


And figured I'd ask here because it seems a lot of you cruise not only DCL...
If you had to choose between a 4-5 night inside stateroom on a Carnival cruise or a slightly CHEAPER 7 night cruise with oceanview room on Norwegian Dream- for 2 adults only- which would you choose? Itinerary are similar, although ofcourse extra ports on the 7 night. We're considering this because Dh got a bonus check we weren't expecting and yeah, it could be saved for the "trip of a lifetime" but I think we're okay with everything else we have earmarked to save for that... and we could go next week when the kid are out of school on break and stay at sister's home... the cruise would mostly be relaxation for me, scuba diving at atleast one port for DH. It could be a birthday celebration, DH turns the big 4-0 on March 4th. We're not big drinkers nor are we young enough to go partying into the night either. I didn't think I'd ever consider cruising other than on DCL but this is just much cheaper and we'd never go DCL without the kids anyway..

So which would you choose if you had the choice? (based on what I have told you what we're looking for in a cruise and based on your experience OR things you have heard of either cruiseline.

Hey everyone - I have 2 quick questions for anyone who might know the answer. We are slated to use DCL for our air and opted to arrive a day early for this cruise because of the time change.

One: Since we are opting the overnight stay, the ressie online says hotel MRRT - is this a Marriott? Anyone know which Marriott like where it is?

TWO: Can we opt to arrive 2 or three days earlier if using DCL for air? This would also require a hotel for those nights as well.

DH figures we should check out DL while we are in CA since we are right there. I know I can call DCL to find all this out and I will at some point but I figured I would ask here first.

THANKS a heap everyone - have a great new week!

He was only like 16 when the group was on top of the charts. I've seen him several times on VH1.

That would still put him close to 60 since I'm 54!

 

[bellelinus]

Did either of you read Trixie Beldon?

I did . . . and they recently re-released the Trixie series and my middle daughter went through a phase where she read through all they had released so far. A friend of mine is one of the writers for the new Nancy Drew series, but (although I would never tell her this) I always preferred Trixie to Nancy, and even with the new Nancy series my girls have never really gotten into Nancy Drew.

My girls have "Thing One" and "Thing Two" shirts that they got at Universal a few years back (solid red shirts with the big "Thing 1" or "Thing 2" in a circle on the front). . . I'd be glad to send you one or both of those if you'd like . . . then you could get some blue spray-on temporary hair color and spray your daughter's hair blue to complete the (quick and easy!) transformation . . .

PM me with your address if you decide you want to use the shirts.

 

[Enna]

Ok, that wasn't too bad, caught up for the time being.

Here's wishing everyone the best start to a new week!!!

So far, looks like school and work are a GO for today, going to check the school website again, just to make sure. Not much sn*w, but it does look slippery outside.

My kids' school is opening 2 hours late today due to weather. I keep hoping the sun will come out to help melt the frozen stuff on the roads.

1. Probably can go as Thing 1 w/ tights and a wig made out of yarn

2. If the NCL is one of the newer ships bulit for freestyle cruising, I would choose that one. I have been on the Star and the Dawn. It is fun to go to all the different restaurants, especially the Mexican on the Dawn:yum! We are actually going to try Costa April 1st as they had kids for taxes/port fees only, so it was only $3000 for the week for 5 people in two obstructed view balcony cabins. And we only booked 10 days ago! Remember, just because it's not Disney, that doesn't mean don't do it. It will be different. But it will be different traveling without the kids, too!

[J. R.] Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties because it's coooold out there today.
[Judy] It's coooold out there every day. What do you think this is, Castaway Cay?
[J. R.] There's another reason why today is especially exciting.
[Judy] Especially cold!
[J. R.] Yes, especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips
[Judy] On their chapped lips
[J. R.] Right, on their chapped lips. Do you think anyone is going to talk about these topics today?
[Judy] That's right woodchuck-chuckers, it's...
[All] GROUNDHOG POST!

SO:

• Did anyone get a room assignment from DCL today?
• Lisa, did we tell you we really miss the website?
• Cake. Yum, cake. With frosting. And whipped cream?
• What size crocs should I buy? Are they comfortable? Boy, are they ugly.
• blah, blah, blah N.R. (with swords)
• Where are we going to be able to buy our lime green DIS T-****s for the cruise, Captain
• The Tag Fairy doesn't like me. She likes me. I got tagged! It's like Christmas in February!
• Did anyone get moved off WLE dining to Captain's dining?
• Duct tape.
• Who's going to win on that science-fiction show "AI"?

 

[yargrnhoj]

OK....I just have to say that what just happened 14 minutes into AR is SO not fair especially considering the history.

Never take more than one stop.

 

[darthrugby]

Good morning everyone, great day, cold, 3 inches of wet heavy snow on the ground. You gotta love it. 34 days till WDW.

Need to catchup be back soon!

 

[pyramid2000]

My kids climbed (more than once) from the aft public deck 8 to our balcony in 8602 (the big huge one) but if they fell, they would have only fallen onto Secret Deck Aft 7. I think.

You guys are freaking me out here!!

 

[yargrnhoj]

I went on the patches when they first came out. I was fine as long as I didn't do anything that I associated with smoking, having a toddy was one of them. We never smoked in the car, so I used to make Kev take me for rides. I used to sew and crochet alot which meant that I also had a smoke in the ashtray the whole time, so I had to hang up my needle and thread for a while. I think the hardest times were after a meal,talking on the phone and going to the "can".

I wonder if they have a patch for DIS addiction. Maybe one of those paint swatches from Home Depot.

 

[Pluto 2]

Yep, we have Comcast..........I even called them once and asked about The Travel Channel............they said if more people called and requested it, it might be added, so far I haven't seen it included in our area.

i live in new jersey also in cumberland county. i have the travel channel its on channel 188. you will think you would of had it first you live in glouster county if i remember correct. glouster county is a whole lot more populated then cumberland county. we had the travel channel here about a year now.

 

[yargrnhoj]

I got tired of hearing gimme gimme and I want from DD mainly all the time. Once DS just said to use the CC. I sat them down & explained how we had to pay that bill and that daddy works very hard to make that money. I also asked them if they wanted that thing right then or to have the money to pay for the cruise...the cruise usually won. They actually have stopped asking for things as often and think about how much things cost before they do buy them. They ask me if the item will go on sale or clearance. I am surprised at how much they had in their banks...after I corrected the swiping problem . It use to be spent the moment they had enough money. I was going to look into getting them nano shuffles for Christmas but if DS keeps asking for one, I might just offer to have him save up for an Ipod...with us paying half.

I've been impressed with my oldest's ability to save. He earned a lot of money cutting lawns last summer and saved it all for the cruise. Then we got to the cruise and he spent $10 on an arcade card and bought one T-shirt. He said he didn't see anything else that was worth it. He has my sense of cheapness.

Isn't it amazing the difference between then & now. I remember that child abuse was just starting to be a buzz word when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I went to a Catholic school where he was on the board at the CU, belonged to the men's club, was a 4th degree KofC, and BS leader. Big whoop! Everyone ignored the fact that I walked into the school with a black eye twice. When the kids asked me who did it I said it was my dad.

Today...you have to worry if your child falls on their bike and gets a bad bruise because CPS could be called in.

Ain't it the truth, Lisa....

My Stepfather gave me a black eye once and I was the one they made go to counseling. To this very day my mother denies that he is an alcoholic too....

She ignores most of what happened during our childhood and i'm the black sheep for accusing them of what they did to my sister and me...

Gore is doing to put the Oscar into his lock box.

That's a good strategery.

 

[yargrnhoj]

Okay - it is me, but why did they have Celine Dion sing that song and why is she still on the stage?

Why would you have Celine Dion sing ANY song? I was so peeved in 1996 when we had the Olympics in Atlanta and they brought her in to sing the theme song rather than any one of a number of Georgia or other Southern artists.
