A Hop, NO Skip, and Many Mishaps to a Disney Dream!

[jenseib]

Sorry, I haven't posted earlier Jen.

Love the Dolphin Encounter, photos and video - so cute! It must have been so exciting for Claire, you can just tell by the expression on her sweet little face!

Shame about your computer - I hope it can be fixed and that the repair won't be too costly.
One thing though - I can tell you ......... a new car is really nice - take to Skip about it!

And .........

tell him "Happy Birthday, all the way from Austria"!

I hope it's a decent price...free would be the best!

You know, I don't even want a new car. I like my car like I like my XP. I like the model and the look. It is getting old, and has a lot of miles, but I still like it better than most new cars. I will be sad when the day comes and I do have to make a change. the only thing I wish was it got better gas milage. It gets about 23 miles per gallon, but in the past I had Toyota's and V W's that got 30-45 miles per gallon.

Wow - that Dolphin encounter looks like so much fun and your pictures turned out great.

So sorry about your lost memory card. That is so frustrating. But you certainly still managed to get a bunch of great pictures.

What a fantastic day!

It was a fun day. I wish I could keep posting about it, but the start of my next installment is on my other computer. It's ok to wait though. It has given me a break and I have gotten more yard work done.

My laptop is Vista & the pc is XP. I've gotten used to the Vista & don't seem to have any problem with it. I'm not a real pro at computing & can do all that I need, so I'm ok with the Vista.

The thing that I need to know is how to post photos to these boards. Are there instructions here somewhere?

I can surf the web ok with Vista, but everything else seems to be written in some strange language....LOL Ok it's English, but it things like delete are sometimes called remove...why not just stick with the standard.

To post a picture you need to make an account at photobucket (thats the most popular and free). Then you upload your pictures from your computer. I personally resize the ones I'm goon load to a smaller version because my camera takes big files and then it takes longer to load. Once they are loaded you hit save and hten you can view your pictures. As you wave your mouse over each picture a drop box will appear. You then want to copy the bottom link..which starts with and paste it where ever you want it posted.

[quote="Kathy Jetson, post: 41113270"]Sorry to hear about your computer problems I know how frustrating that is. I have windows 7 but all I know how to do is surf the web:blush:[/QUOTE]

I kind of remember you were having picture problems on it at first. Has it gotten any easier.

[quote="OneTreeHillAddict, post: 41113973"]That blows Jenn. It's our super sized files blowing stuff up. :laughing: I make several copies of everything before I clear the cards[/QUOTE]

Yep. I need to be more on the ball. I usually make at least one copy, but lately I am slower than I should be. I do have all the Disney pictures on CD though.

Thank you everyone for Skips Birthday wishes!!!! I love my "old" man!

The picture problems I was having with windows 7 were with me and not the computer

Did you know that Americas Funniest Video that is on tonight at 7:00 is one that they filmed on the Dream?

Oh wow. I probably missed it. What time and channel does it come on. Claire and I are watching a "pirates" marathon, though I no longer have the 1st one ,so we watched the 2nd and now the 3rd.

It was really fun. Hopefully I will get my Desktop back soon and can get to that part of the day.

I can't seem to do it right. Back to the drawing board.

I'm trying to send a photo. http://s1186.photobucket.com/albums...on=view&current=FairatNewBoston06WDW06011.jpg

Looks like you used the wrong link. You want the bottom one from the drop down box that starts with

This was me in 2006 at CBR.

Ack. it came out too big, but at least I was able to post it. Thanks Jen. Now I will be able to do a TR this Sept.

I look terrible, the heat was taking its toll.

 

[jenseib]

YAY!! You got it! You look great too!
It's not too big. Bigger than what I post, but still within the "legal" range.LOL!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Thanks so much for the help!

Oh my gosh! I was grinning like a total nerd throughout your whole video! So so cute! It was worth a million bucks just to see Claire dancing with Dot! Precious! And your photographs are really good. I know I am going to be so tempted to buy them if we do it. But you're right, how can you say no when they are that good and it is such a unique experience that you want to remember. I can see my DD wanting that same dolphin pillow that Claire chose. She loves stuff like that.

I am curious about something... did you not think the beach area at BL was worth hanging around for since you decided to go straight back to the boat? I've seen pictures where they have lots of blow up water toys and thought it might be fun to stay a little longer. Also, how often do the boats run that take you back?

Btw, I meant to tell you that I think I have solved the itchy costume problem. We went to the Disney store this weekend (my Mother's Day treat) and I found some REALLY cute and super nice nightgowns that will be perfect for costumes. They don't look like gowns at all. They are REALLY nice and made of that silky fabric that feels good. I let DD choose one and she picked Rapunzel, but asked if she could have Cinderella too. They are $25. Just thought you might like to know about them b/c my DD absolutely loves hers and says it isn't itchy at all. And it is cool which will be nice in the Florida heat. Here's a picture I got off the disney shopping website. Most of them are sold out right now b/c they just went on sale. This P&F is one of the few left right now, but I hope they will get more in soon.

I'm in catch up mode. I was 10 pages behind. This nightgown costume is similar to the Rapunzel nightgown costume that I got for Heidi at Disneystore.com for $25.00. Its way better than the itchy ones. Did you take a pic of your daughter wearing it?

I'm so sorry you're having 'puter problems! My laptop has windows 7 and my desktop has window xp. I'm used to xp and know how to do what I need to do, everytime I need to do something different on my windows 7 laptop, I have to figure it out all over again. I'm just getting used to using the newest version of word. My husband said he brought home some software license for microsoft publisher or something so I can open the file that Lisa sent me with the MWT logo/business card on it! However, I spent hours and hours entering a book fair order and getting that wrapped up today. So I never really got to put on my mouse ears, although, I'd done my first quote for a friend of mine, and then when I was showing her the quote and explaining the options, I asked her about the email I'd sent her that she didn't answer, and found out that her husband IS official retired air force (like I suspected), so the quotes I worked out for her the other day get thrown in the trash and I re-do her a military discount quote... which I had to call Disney for because its not on the DTA site. It's a HUGE savings though. I won't be able to book MY ADR's until she books because I want to make sure she's coming along at the same time as we are before I made them. They'll be hanging out with us probably the whole time.

We got the Rapunzel one too, but when I went to post a picture of it, it was sold out on disneyshopping.com, and there wasn't a picture there. So I just posted the P&F one. But ours looks just like that one except it is two shades of purple. It's VERY cute and definitely good enough quality to be a costume! No pictures of my DD in it yet. She won't wear it for long before she takes it off. She says she wants it to still look new for our cruise! But there is NO itching!!!!!!!!

I read that on facebook. I wondered if we could do military discounts for WDW.
I hope to hear back about my computer in the next few days.

How was the cruise? I know all about the very little sleep. LOL

I had a feeling it was probably at 7. I forget that that show is still on. I don't watch a lot of TV anymore...unless it's Disney channel. LOL! And thats not by choice.

 

[jenseib]

Still no word on the desktop. I will call tomorrow if I don't hear anything today.
