I haven't been paying attention/or playing this game in awhile. The stakes were pretty high with posts 1999 & 2000. It wasn't just 1 or ; it wasn't just 2 or but it was 3 or . Well worth paying attention for. Didn't really think I'd actually snag one. But I guess I'm back in the games.

Hi All,

Sharon, Right back at ya... I have set so darn many folks up for these things that when it got that close I just couldn't stand it. The chat on Facebook was fun but I had a couple issues with the connection to the site, I think.

I just spent the better part of an hour reading a trip report from the May 24th sailing. It was interesting and has actually inspired me to do one of my own. I just need to sort out the photo thing so that I will be able to add them to the posts (1,000 words right?).

I am sorry to hear that Robin doesn't have her card yet. I am wondering what special sign from above the powers that be are waiting for before the finally send that sucker off...

I am starting to pull some things together clothing wise for the trip. I got a different gown for formal night and got a stunning blouse that I may wear either for semi formal or for Palo. I do need to get my satin heels dyed as they are a silver/white satin but have a stain on them which I am thinking will be covered if I make them black.

The graduation cakes for my friends daughters turned out really well and I will post a picture as soon as I can do that. Oh and speaking of pictures...

I have a HUGE frustration right now. I had an external hard drive get corrupted and I had to use a special recovery program to get my data off of it in order to reformat it. Unfortunately, in doing that I wound up breaking the connection between the computer and the hard drive which means that the photos which are remotely stored and only referenced on the computer are now not accessible by the computer. How sucky is that? So I have about 10,000 pictures (seriously) which I am going to have to transfer back to my computer and then re-save to the harddrive. I am sooooo not looking forward to that task. But, with the trip coming up I think I had better get a start on it or it will get worse before it gets better.

I hope more folks are able to chat on FB next time. And that it will work better for all concerned.

Well, it is time for my nightly troll through the boards to see what I can learn about.

Take care all, help lots of people and have a "Wonder"ful day!

Tisza

Actually, I think at this point you might be winning the game

I don't know about that. Maybe it looks that way right now, but I think we're one of the first to leave on vacation & I highly doubt I'll even be thinking of any games once we fly out. We're flying out 10 days before the cruise & that will give plenty of time for lots more posts.

This was the first night in about a month when I"ve had enough time to really peruse the boards. I think I'm suffering from information overload. Hopefully I haven't created an insomnia episode. If you see any good info out there please give us a heads up. Good night.

I read in the forums that someone who is cruising on July 12th got their cruise documents today. Hopefully that means we should get ours in about a week.

SWEET, so exciting!!

 

["Got Disney"]

Tisza wow what a bummer....that's a lot of pictures....hope you get them all back.

Hoping today my PP comes but not holding my breath..

Forgot about the chat...had so many kids at my house...graduations...and so much stupid more that did not even think about it. Sorry

My ingoing sophomore....Michael...decided to go out again for Football....JV not Varsity....it is such a bitter sweet thing for me...football is so good for him yet not for his head....

He also loves boxing and also does that...funny how it's 2things I swore I would never let my kids do...including watching the power rangers and Tom an Jerry... Than I had kids and said to myself...ahhhhhh know I get it....funny how before we have kids we say....My kids will never do that or act like that ...than we have kids and we see things in a little different light.

Would be nice if Michaelt would pick a sport he loves that does not involve his head....I mean is that to much for a mom to ask

I feel confident you will get your passport. You still have a good 5 weeks for it to arrive.

Robin I do hope you get your passport soon! I think at this point they should send it overnight on their dime. How much more time do you have before you leave for your vacation?

Good for Michael having a focus & going out for football. I know it's hard as a mom to see your baby get tackled, but I bet your family will have some enjoyment in it too. I also bet that you'll have proud moments as well.

Those were really fun to watch. I don't know if it was just my computer or not, but the videos would freeze & reset so it took awhile to watch them all. Certainly does get you in the mood though!

Is the May deadline for the FE sign up firm? I have been trying to navigate the site and only found this thread today. I am going to be on this cruise and would love to join if at all possible....

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

Welcome!!!



I vote for an exception, but that's just me. Especially since you're a new DISer.

Welcome aboard!!

We can make an exception, but we need to get your information quick so we can get it out to everyone and they can get you added to their count.
