I listened to most of the podcast last evening while I was falling behind on this thread, LOL!!! A few points of interest were made about the new ships:

1) more cabins that will fit 5 and 6 people
2) more connecting cabins

3) more "Main Dining" options

What does this say about all of us?? Do you think we are all type "A" personalities??" It is not that I am a control freak or anything

The assumption would be that anyone who could fill as many pages of discussion as we did, before the ship was even allowed to book....must either be a TYPE A or crazy. Or both.

So Darth which Elizabeth costume are you doing? I was going to do the gold dress one for my DD

We love this.

Boudreaux's Butt Paste is definitely the best. Last time DS had an issue I tried just about everything and this is all that would clear it up. Now we use it at the first signs and haven't had a problem since. But don't waste your time with the small tubes. Go for the JUMBO JAR!!!

I am back-reading and just saw you said 1980. I don't think I've ever had a heater last like that. I assume you do the right thing and drain the water out every year like you are supposed to, though.

Really? I never heard of that.

Oldest DD could not sleep with us. Strange but true. If she was having trouble sleeping and I brought her in our bed, she could not fall asleep. I think she has only slept in our bed a handful of times total. DD #2 didn't start coming to our bed until she was at least 4 or 5. DD #3 loves to sleep with us. We do have a weekend only rule though.

Even though we have 4 bedrooms, I liked the idea of the girls sharing a room. DD#1 and 2 did until about 2 years ago. All 3 girls have their own room now. But now DD #2 and #3 are going to start sharing a room as soon as I get a bed for DD #1 so that DD #3 can use hers (she is still in a toddler bed).

I think it is entirely a matter of preference whether you support the "family bed" movement or not. For us, it was fine when they were babies and even toddlers, but we really wanted them to be independent of us. I was not happy when grandma (MIL) wanted the 6 year old to sleep with her (when we visited from the other side of the country). Made me very uncomfortable and I had to put my foot down.

We've had both boys in the same bedroom since birth. Selfishly it's because I need a separate office in the house for my business. We have thought about splitting our bonus room over the garage to use for half office / half homeschool & play room, but it would be very cramped for schooling. So the boys are going to continue sharing (at DS10 & DS 12). They are really ready for their own spaces, but we hope to move into a bigger house in the next year or two so that should eleviate the challenge . . .or I'll have to take smaller office space (then it costs us money in taxes . . yuck!)

Cool thing about families is figuring out what works best for you. There doesn't always seem to be THE RIGHT answer, but A right answer . . .

Judy's Back! Judy's Back! Judy's Back!

(BIP, did you tell him about the decison we all made while he was away about wearing red T-****s?)

Does this seem slightly suspicious????

 

[pyramid2000]

ARRGGGHHHH!!!!! Nice snag swabbie!

 

[justmestace]

Well, it might help if they let me actually FLY the plane!

Talk about your control freaks!

 

[yargrnhoj]

Really? I never heard of that.

Yes, it is recommended you open the drain valve every six months and let about a few gallons of water drain out. This water will likely be murky with all the rust and sediment. If you don't do this, sediment can build up and eventually damage the heating element.

Some people recommend shutting the tank off and draining it completely once a year.

Are you considering having children? To determine whether you are truly prepared for the experience, we suggest you take this set of simple tests...

MESS TEST:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Now rub your hands in the wet flower bed and rub on the walls. Cover the stains with crayons. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

TOY TEST:
Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream (this could wake a child at night).

GROCERY STORE TEST:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

DRESSING TEST:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all arms stay inside.

FEEDING TEST:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

NIGHT TEST:
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8 to 12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 8:00 PM begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 PM. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 PM. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more new ones and sing these too until 4:00 AM. Set alarm for 5:00 AM. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for five years. Look cheerful.

PHYSICAL TEST (WOMEN)
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10% of the beans.

PHYSICAL TEST (MEN):
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the assistant to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest grocery store. Go to HR and arrange for your wages to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT:
Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training, and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to cause havoc. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.

Just sent this to a dear friend who has a new baby . . .LOL

Nope, we like him around this house, too. He's unique and doesn't sound like the rest of pack. Beat boxing isn't really my thing, but it certainly makes Blake stand out.

All the other guys just sound like, as Simon would say, lounge acts. I loved the line last night about the Love Boat! (The comeback was pretty good, too.)

Yes! That's why I'm drawn to him, too....

I like Jared. His voice makes me melt.

We had our first child in 1993.

We had our first in 94, but I was 30. Had our last less than 3 years later.

Makes me wonder...what did we do before we found this thread on DIS?
