PS. - that's a shot of the family minus DS-21 now 19 at the time - this is from our Mexican Rivera cruise July 23-30, 2005. The family vacation.
Speaking of REPO men...
We were on NCL this past Christmas and were chosen to play "Family Feud". They asked each of us what we do for a living. The crew member was not American, but I don't remember what her nationality was right now....either way, she didn't understand English all that well. She got to my dad, and he said he was a "Repo Man". She didn't understand, and asked him to repeat it...about three times before my mom stomped on my Dad's foot. Then he told the truth and said "I'm retired" and my mom (who thought she was whispering, but forgot that dad was holding the microphone) said "More like retarded".......the audience thought it was hysterical....I was ready to slink slowly off the stage........
BTW...he used to sell insurance.

Hi there!
I agree on the point that one person shouldn't be representative of an entire group of people. In fact I just responded to a PM from someone who was totally confused on what was going on (and thought something wrong- so I had to make sure she knew that wasn't the case) and in my PM to her I told her that it was just ONE person that sent both spam emails out and I would HOPE that if someone on this board were to email everyone on the other board telling them how much their board stinks and asking them to come to DIS instead- that those people would NOT think this was representative of all of us or speaking for all of us. It was one person, and we need to remember that it doesn't mean she's speaking for all of them on another board. That's all.. just one person.
I know some wonderful people that do post there but still post here! So I know that they wouldn't agree with the email about the DISboard being so horrible.
I agree. I don't want to be worrying about who I'm talking to and if they are on the same board/same group and what if I'm talking to so and so and the other group sees me talking to them and gets their panties in a wad thinking I've "changed" sides.. I don't want to have sides to this. I wish we could just all go together and not have to pick sides.
Oh and btw, this is just my opinion but I think it might be better that if we receive more emails from said person that we not discuss it on our thread. First off I don't want our thread to be closed down for any reason! But also it really confuses others who read about it but didn't receive the emails... it confused me the first time I heard "hint" about some other board and I had to go to PMs to ask about it and now I've been asked about this recently too (from more than one person). Maybe we could just PM Lisa or something to let her know it's going on (since she is a moderator) and leave it off this thread.
All right - who moved the little whistling smiley? Did I do it? Its gone. 
to everyone that is going to need it today

They give a sticker and a button.
I'm definitely looking forward to it again this year. Usually we go once or twice in between, but lately we haven't.
Cake like this, maybe
ANd this picture shows the sticker and the button
Hi everyone! DH and I will be joining you on this cruise! I have been too busy to keep up here, but things should be getting better soon (just quit one of my two jobs)
Looking forward to sailing with some of you again and others for the first time! We had a great time on the last August repo, looking forward to the new ports of call. I get to celebrate my birthday again on the ship (this time turning 40!) and like some of you we're staying on the Magic for the 5 night sailing.
The more the merrier! If only we had a website to keep track of it all...
. I have not checked the work pool yet. Who knows I could be taking an early lunch.

"her Majesty". its all about!
Morning,
And I thought I was talkative! Will be going on this cruise next year too. Haven't posted here (other than to say hello to Mary Rose, Tina, Andy, etc) on this thread but saw that it was probably time to post.
Before I went on our first cruise (and first visit to the US) last year, I met the most fantastic people here and on the other board, too many to mention, who made my whole holiday an amazing experience. Everyone was so so nice to us. For that reason we decided to go on the med cruise and then to book the Panama cruise too, and we are so looking forward to it. I rang and got my rate for HOJO yesterday and was thrilled because living in Ireland, there is no way on earth I would be able to get local insider information as I do from knowing all these people.
I don't know who sent that PM to you guys yesterday, and I know that plenty more don't either (they have said it publically) but it is certainly working towards a "Them versus Us" culture, which would be a terrible shame. Rather than selling the positives of another site, it is making you doubt the people there, and that is not right.
MR, you said "they are trying to get a rise", I promise you it is not "they". Some want to post here, some want to post there and some like me want to post in both, but it should be a choice, not a directive, by anyone.
I want to be able to hold my head up and say hello to everyone and meet like minded people who pay a lot of money to enjoy the short amount of time we get off each year, not to worry about the " what group are you with" scenario.
I currently post and plan on a different site, because it suits me, and that's what it's about. Choice.
Now to those that know me, it's quite short really!
Have a nice Wednesday!
