Our other cat, Cricket, was much calmer & just watched from the back door...she just looked at him like "what's HIS problem". It was kind of comical.
NOT!!
The bigger the set of course the bigger out of pocket expense it was for us...but we still didn't want to compromise on what we'd had and what we were used to. They sent us one of their new Bravia NX810's which are "3D ready". (The glasses & converter tube are extra...not sure we're ready to jump right in & buy all that stuff just yet.) Also NOT SURE what we're going to do with the old TV either. Now we need to research getting it repaired...but I think the repairs don't last on them - which is why Sony didn't even OFFER to repair it...only to replace. They just didn't want anyone else joining in that lawsuit. SOO this is our big project now for tomorrow. Getting the old TV moved (somewhere) and the new TV hooked up.
I am glad that DH is technically savvy 'cuz I certainly AM NOT!!
Yay! Ya found us!! Welcome aboard!!! I do hope you come chat often!! 
They were both all black & Woody was THE sweetest cat ever.
They were litter mates and had never been separated and Buzz was just the SADDEST cat after Woody died. He was SO lonely. Then a couple of months later my parents found this kitten on their basement steps. She looked like she had been drowned in the creek behind their house or something. Mom said she was so muddy & dirty & wet & scraggly they thought at first that she was a RAT!!
Then they decided she had cat ears!! They caught her & cleaned her up in a washtub & she turned out to be this purrrrrfect little gray tabby (who LOVES to purrrrr)! They already had 3 inside cats, 1 outside cat & a dog...they reallllly didn't need another cat to feed...so she asked me if we might want her. I wasn't sure if it was too soon after losing Woody...but thought she might keep Buzz company. He was still walking around the house howling for Woody. He was still so sad. SOOO we went to meet her & decided to take her in. We named her Cricket (call her Crickee mostly) after the little cricket in the Mulan movie ("You're one lucky bug")!!
We figured crickets are supposed to be lucky and she certainly was lucky to have been rescued.
So that's how we got to have 2 cats named Buzz & Cricket.
We have regular dinky old 26" TV's in our 1st floor family room & in our bedroom. But when we decided to finish our basement a few years ago we decided to wire it for the home theater speakers & we built in one wall of cabinets for an entertainment center & a computer desk for DS. That is where DS & DH play their Wii games & stuff too. DH got it hooked up today....it is actually SOOO much smaller than the old set 'cuz it's like a thin panel - the old one still has a lot of body behind it & it had speakers running down the side. So even tho the screen is the same size the SET is tiny in comparison. TV's have really become smaller overall in the past 5 years. He had to go out & buy a new cable of some sort for something that hooked up differently to the receiver - he could only find it in 8 ft. long tho so it barely reaches where it needs to go (ie the TV cannot move at all). We also need to figure out someplace to put the center speaker for the home theater speakers. There are 5 speakers for that - 4 are wall mounted but we had the center one sitting on top of the old TV - because it was deep enough for it to sit there. NOW this set is only like an inch or so deep & there's nothing for it to sit on. Not sure how we're gonna fix that. May have to install some sort of a shelf or something.
The other thing is that this TV sits lower - it just has a much lower profile than the old set. We kinda custom built the cabinets for the old one. Mistake I guess. But didn't expect that TV to die in only 5 years!!
Now we have this big old set sitting in the floor - it's HUGE. I don't know what we're going to do with it. 
Hi thats a lovely story about your cats, we don't have any pets would love a dog but were out all day at work so would not be fair. Mulan is a great film we still have not been to see tangled.
We love Toy Story here too & it was one of DS's favs when he was younger!! Our cat, Buzz, is named after Buzz Lightyear!! He had a brother, Woody, but he died almost 2 years ago from kidney failure at only 5 yrs old.
) Jeremy hasn't been back to say who all he's bringing - he was getting ready to move to Bucharest so I'm sure he's been busy. He was planning to bring his parents too so not sure if they'd be interested as well...hopefully he'll get settled soon and check back in. So I'm gonna go out on a limb & say we have just the right amount of cabins right now if ya'll want to do one. To be honest tho I have been concerned with how much stuff that would add to our packing. I am going to try DESPERATELY to keep us to one 17 inch international size carry-on and one checked bag each. So if we participate I would really like to be able to keep it light and simple. Last time I did it we had 10 cabins participate & I ended up making goody bags for each cabin with about 6 items in each bag. I would not be able to do all that this time. It would simply add too much to carry in our luggage - both coming and going. So I would be game for a couple of small items if we can all agree not to go overboard with tons & tons of stuff!!!! Somebody needs to sort of be in charge of it...we need to keep a list of who's participating & their cabin numbers etc. Oh I am glad you popped back in to say hey!! I've got everyone added to the roll call on the first post. Since you didn't mention having done any DCL's before I assumed this was your first DCL cruise!? Looks like we've got lots of little mates cruising!!
Since we've been a small group to date nobody's really talked about doing the FE's but Joanne had mentioned it to me on a Facebook message so I guess it's time to kick it around and see who's interested in doing it!! Looks like we're up to 10 cruisers so far. Well, Liza (NJ_Ohana hasn't been around since I don't know when so not sure if she's still part of our group or not.
SOOO SHOW OF HANDS!! Who all wants to participate in a FE exchange?! Reply with a YES or a NO so we can figure out if we have enough peeps to be worth it!!!
I'm happy to be the lead on the FE. Not sure what all I need to do but I can keep a list with room #s. 
I agree that we should keep it to small items.Hi Yes it is our first Disney Cruise we did not know Disney did a cruise till we saw an advertisement in a sunday newspaper. Im getting more and more excited just reading reviews on here.It is our first Disney cruise. I think I'm more excited then the kids.
Before kids my DH and I use to each travel with a 22" suitcase. It's tough but it can be done. Maybe you can pick stuff up from your last stop before the cruise.
Can't wait to meet everyone.
Hi will have to have a look on the ebay site, your fish extender is great you can reuse it love the Mickey ears on the pole.
