*SIGH*

I am so glad this day is almost over...can we just pretend it didn't happen?!?! I'm gonna go home...(stop & pick up a pint of Ben & Jerry's first! ) Then go home, eat dinner, and then sit down, veg in front of the TV with my pint...

Good night all, and I am determined to make tomorrow BETTER THAN TODAY...

Glad to see it is a PINT of B&J instead of a British pint at the local pub . . .LOL . . .Tomorrow is a new day! Hope is much better for you

Our Pastor's homilies are so entertaining. He's an Italian-American and a New Yorker, so you can imagine what a great story teller he is.....Our Associate Pastor is a little hard to follow, though. He goes off on different tangents all of the time. I'll be focusing hard thinking "okay....I'm with ya....okay I see what your saying". Then all of a sudden "ooo...where'd ya go?"

Most Sundays I can't follow what is being said because I have two kids constantly asking me questions...not about Church.

Lisa..... I tried on PJ's thong style CROCS and they were big.....Amy's were the next size down 9ish and they fit me better....

But the closed in crocs are pretty true to size i have the Disney L ones (supposed to be a womens 10-11) I'd call them closer to a ten though.

The regular CROCS (non disney) beach style ones i have in a L seem to be a little bit bigger than the disney ones.

You might be ok...

I am keeping my fingers crossed. They are on their way.

You just want to be able to leave your pre-cruise luggage in the car.

A lot of good THAT will do me since we wont be returning to CA...so there goes the car & the laundry.

Hello everyone ...First let me say THANK YOU for all the well wishes , Its great to know in a internet world like this that people can come together and share.

Things went well , and for me was probably one of the hardest things I have had to do in what I consider still my young life ..LOL But I am back home in Vegas after making my peace and do feel that a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have to be honest , the whole viewing thing was way creepy for me and I really didnt handle that well, but did make it through and couldnt wait to get back to hold my kids. I wish this man would have gotten to get to know his grandkids, but as I said I have made my peace and have forgiven him ...

I will be around a little today I still have MIL in town , but I at least wanted to write and say thank you all for being here and your nice wishes and prayers ...

Welcome back brave Captain...

the seas have been calm and the winds fair

alas your abscence was noticed amongst the crew...​

 

[lbgraves]

Are you really good with sutures? You don't get carried away doing satin stitches & French knots in people's boo-boos, do you?

TOOO funny! I can see someone doing an editorial cartoon about that.

 

[lbgraves]

Welcome back, Todd. Glad that you found what you were looking for.

 

[FINCANTIERI]

I like donuts.




What a joke.


"Buehler.......Buehler......Buehler"

"Your honor, the defense calls Mickey Mouse."

Yeah, right....next you'll be telling us that "Pop" is actually called something else.......like . . . . "Soda".

You mean soder for us NY'ers.

Well, it was a really good day at school today.

How do I know? BOTH boys had to go straight to the garage and strip to the skin when they got home. Everything is in the wash. You don't want to know what their shoes look like.

I found DS9 making mudballs with the rest of the 3rd and 4th graders. Fortunately, I arrived before they had to figure out what to do with said mudballs.


Did I recently tell someone to let their kids get dirty?? Mumph. Might have to rethink that one...

 

[lbgraves]

Hi guys just wanted to pop in and say thanks for missing me. I have been disguised by Enna in her 12 step program and am masquerading as a homeschoolteacher in an undisclosed location....remember new grade level....

THAT EXPLAINS IT! ​

 

[FINCANTIERI]

Hi, I am Vanetta and am trying to get on this cruise. We are DVC members and hoping that space will come available before this ship sets sail in Aug. 2008. I am friends with Cinderella Mom and family.

Good luck. There will be a great bunch of swabbies, wenches, and of course the Captain on board the PTC DVC members are a plenty... Jack

I remember those days.

 

[lbgraves]

I love to cross stitch! My problem is that if I start, I can't stop. When would I DIS??

One of those voice activated computer keyboards would be perfect!

 

[FINCANTIERI]

ok here is another PIRATE joke.. I started telling it to my son,, but had to stop.. so i had to tell you guys...

This pirate walks into a bar with a big ship's wheel down his pants. The bartender says, "Excuse me, sir, but do you know you have a ship's wheel down the front of your pants?"
And the pirate says...
Aaargh, it's driving me nuts!!

You will be walking the plank for that one.

Hey everyone, back from my mom duties. Now for a little me time (aka, don't bother me kid can't you see I'm DISing!) I see we are talking about first cars. My very first car was a 1979 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel. I loved that car! It had 107,000 miles when I bought it, but to me it was the best thing ever. I drove it for two years before it started causing me troubles and we had to trade it in. It got the best gas mileage of any car I have ever owned.

 

[lbgraves]

hi everyone! just popping in for a few mins...kids are napping...i LOVE naptime!!!

I MISS naptime.

 

[captaincrash]

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.

What a HOOT!

My wife and I were really chuckling over this!

Thanks.... we needed the chuckles... badly!

 

[sk8ingmom]

My wife is still working on a Christmas stocking she started a few years back. 1993 to be precise.

Oh good, I have time. I started mine in 1998.

 

[wheelerkidz3]

good evening everyone! how was everyone's day? im gonna attempt to read back thru some pages, but i doubt i'll get far! LOL!!

 

[lbgraves]

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.

ROFLMAO!!!! That is too true.
