Hmmmmmmmmmm I posted this reply and it disappeared.
Probably Melinda messing around again

MIL is doing well thanks Janet.
Just happy to be out of the hospital. Taking it easy and on meds. DD off with a cold on Monday and DW has had the flu and what we thought were broken or cracked ribs initially but now know its pulled muscles in her rib cage, from coughing from the crud she has. Been off 5 days and will be til next week.
Me and the dog are the only ones healthy at the moment

Cheers,
Grumbo

Mark--

We're already included in the list! You already added us!

Since I don't see your name (kmiles) on it, are you included in someone else's group??

7.– Piglet33 (Renee’)-Dryer Loader

Since I don't do the laundry and Lenny does, I guess that
means this job is his. I'll be sure to pass that bit of info
on to him. I bet he'll be so thrilled.

Poping in here for a few moments...

Hey Melinda you do a very good pontiff imitation......

a new show is about Cinderella!! (Arlene, i immediatley thought of you as one of the two step sisters!!)

Wow Melinda that is pretty cruel!!! Arlene she obviously has been in the direct sun too much today.

btw Melinda you never disappoint me with these types of posts

Cheers,
Grumbo

Poping in here for a few moments...Taking a break from the hot sun outside. The ship itself will be bring extra supplies and cargo for the 2 weeks so it really depends on how much room they have. He also told me that there will be at least 4 formal dinners events, a show every single night (lotta new ones) and gave me a secret that one of a new show is about Cinderella!!They are in process working right now of the planned activities for on board. He said it will be lot different than a regular cruise and to plan to bring extra suitcase for bringing home stuff...didn't eleaborate what.... he himself is HOPING to be a asst cruise director for the the repo cruise...He is waiting to hear from higher up. I hope he is...he is very very nice.

Ok, need to catch more rays...I don't want to dissapoint Grumbo!!! LOL!!

Thank you for the information it looks very good, I have just today added another cruise the 8/19/2006 and I can see from that thread a few people are on both. Awaiting Dreams confirmation.

Yeah, sure, uh huh, no problem - our idea of "packing" cleaned, dried clothes will be to chuck 'em overboard (so note fellow sisters, we'll be providing this service ONLY to the guys!! )

NOT NICE, GRUMBO!!!!!! Melinda very sweetly thought of my avatar (which is in honour of Lara's favourite princess) SHE DID NOT THINK ABOUT THE UGLY STEPSISTERS!!!!!

If any of you "Looneyheads" knew where I worked, I'd suspect you of the problem I'm having this week! Someone has identified us as "spammers" so we've been blacklisted by "Spamcop.net" and are having internet messages blocked and returned from all over the place!

BTW MARK - NO CHANCE that I'm loading ANY washing machines!!!!! I'm with Renee - if the DH's want to do it, sounds good to me!

Ok, spoke with Andy...He said, they may be able to accomadate us with regard to suitcases depending on room in the holding area. When we board, we will ask the stateroom host and they will help us out as much as they can. The ship itself will be bring extra supplies and cargo for the 2 weeks so it really depends on how much room they have. He also told me that there will be at least 4 formal dinners events, a show every single night (lotta new ones) and gave me a secret that one of a new show is about Cinderella!!

Well have plenty o' empty luggage by the end of the trip ... our group alone will have close to 1/2 a dozen empty carry-ons ... you know, the ones that'll be loaded with alcohol when we board the ship. Once said alcohol is consumed (hic) then those pieces o' luggage will be empty.

 

[outahere]

First of all, Rachel will be our Cruise Director for the Repo cruise...I don't know her, does anyone know her?

If it is the same person, we had Rachel, as the cruise director, on our first cruise on the Wonder. She had a British accent and my DS10 still occasionally comes out with "Welcome to the Disney Wonder" in a fake accent (she obviously made an impression on him). She was very energetic and seemed to be everywhere at once. I never had a chance to really talk with her, other than a quick hello.

 

[Scratch42]

Yeah!

SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Like it will go to do the laundry!

It will be added to my bar bill!

Thanks Mark!

Luv Ya, Mean It!

Hey everyone look at Arlene's new Avatar:

Martin made me call the Spam police on your company Arlene. He said his company IT guys were better then your company's.

Message to the Hood Sisters: Feel free to swap jobs that more fit your personality and expertice! Remember only so many of you can sit on your duffs watching the clothes spin around!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Yahoo, looks like Mark didn't assign me laundry. Thanks!

Guess I better go out there shopping and look for some good deals on luggage. Two big pieces each plus big carryons each. Interesting tidbits we are getting!

 

[winotracy]

Yeah, sure, uh huh, no problem - our idea of "packing" cleaned, dried clothes will be to chuck 'em overboard (so note fellow sisters, we'll be providing this service ONLY to the guys!! )

My room is right across from the laundry room on 6 so you can chuck them out my balcony!! Starting with Mark's clothes first of course!

Good idea, tracy!! Since Mark gave me the hardest job of all: seperating,( i dont' know why since i have been so nice to him!! ) thanks for offering the balcony!! Between yours and mine, i just throw them all overboard!! Then we will have no choice but to have the Naked party or Toga!! LOL!!!!!

Ok, well i am depressed now guys... Last night here on the Wonder tonight...BUT not too too depressed since i look so forward to the next cruise!!! YEE HAH!!!! My DH Bob informed me at dinner tonight that we are going to save like crazy for the next 7 months, no going out to dinner or nothing to buy!!! OK by me!!
Sorry about my missepelling before...of course, Grumbo constantly reminds me of it!! I didn't realize i can "Pope" in!!! LOL!! Having to much fun here on the ship, didn't want to lose any precious time so i was typing so fast....

We all went nuts at the dinner time tonight cheering and all and i thought, my Gosh, what are we fools going to be like?????? I can only imagine!!

Thanks Arlene, you know me very well now that you know what i was thinking!!! These guys can't fool us anymore!! Been there done that now, Guys, find somthing new to pick on!!!!

I am jealous that Izzi is still on the cruise. I will pm him shortly. Had Palo's brunch with TiggerKing today. Had a lovely chat with them. Talk to few other people as well and they love the idea of the Disney Panama cruise so they would like to be on the waiting list too!! This cruise is becoming increasely popular as the word is getting out about it!!! We fools were definetly smart to book the very first day!!! Oh, forgot to tell you...The cruise manager Stephanie, who books cruises on board asked me how i knew about the Panama Cruise and i told her Disboards and she replied, "Oh, i heard about that!!" and she laughed!! I wasnt' sure how to take it!!! I think we are in for it with the crew!!! LOL!!!! Gotta feeling they know about us!! LOL!!!

Ok, i am not sure i will be back tonight, maybe at midnight...Going to see Disney Dreams in a few minutes. ( it is full of people here, every computer is used!)
If anyone has any questions, ask now before i leave the ship tomorrow morning....CRUISE RELATED, that is..... Grumbo!!!!!!

Thanks Melinda for the Great Insite into our cruise next summer!

Definately will have to get that new luggage set!

Enjoy your last night on the Wonder!

Have fun on your next leg of your journey at SSR!

BTW, my training with "You Know Who" has been set for February 26th!

 

[mark & sandra]

Yahoo, looks like Mark didn't assign me laundry. Thanks!

The only reason you aren't on laundry duty is because your not a member of the silly sisterhood. Since Melinda didn't assign you a title, you're officially not a member.

 

[mark & sandra]

Good idea, tracy!! Since Mark gave me the hardest job of all: seperating,

Melinda, You have the easiest job!! The men are going to be right next door in Tracy's cabin having our get together. We are even offering to seperate the laundry. They'll be 3 piles. 1)-Dirty(needs to be washed) 2)-Kinda Dirty(some stains, but lets face it, all clothes have 2 sides and the other side ain't stained) 3)-Kinda clean( A little Fabreeze and it's good to go.)

We think this service will help expedite your laundering.

 

[Luv2Dream]

Oh, thanks Mark. All the clothes are going to white on this cruise since it's August. I'll be folding my fingers off. At least they'll be clean. Chucking them overboard sounds like more fun though.

Feel free to have my job, Mark! I have NO intention of watching yours or anyone else's clothes spin around!
