August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

[mark & sandra]

Mark,
I have at least a partial list at home. I'm not sure I can get a complete list from Janis (TA) since in the travel agent world that would be considered confidential information.

I mean a list of people through their Dis-names. Similar to my list for the meet. I'd like to know who I can avoid...eh meet at the hotel...Mark

Hey Sisterhood girlfriends: Looks like some of Mark's fellow cruisers are frightfully upset...(laughing so hard I am crying!!!) Anyway, best we keep to our own thread. Some of his other cruisemates "do" have a sense of humor, but it appears some definitely do not...Ha! Ha! Ha!

OK, so let Mark have a little bit of a good reputation, after all, there are Sandra and their children to think about too.

I'm confused too - even with the "explanations". I just wish we could have our thread back and live in peace. Up until 2 days ago, Mark was just a nice guy. Now the sisterhood is "Sending apologies for the confusion Mark has caused all here..." I've never been confused by Mark- I don't really think he's the problem- do you?

 

[mark & sandra]

Or maybe I PM'd then about this possibly happening a while back and they're just messing with you too!! Never underestimate me Barbara. Go over and check for yourself...Mark

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................... maybe I SHOULD be on the Sisterhood's side!

And now Mark, you can have fun on your January cruise too! ROFL!!!!!!!

OK, time to behave and get my family dinner...Later!

Too Funny!!!!! Sorry, Mark - didn't mean to upset anyone! I honestly was surprised by your low-key persona on your upcoming cruise. You've been much more outgoing here!

Maybe there's something about this "Ship of Fools" adventure that brings out the best (worst?) of people's personalities...

That being said, maybe I should return to "lurk" mode for awhile. I'm having trouble supporting a reputation of alcoholic feminist when I'm really just a quiet Canadian Mom/Sunday School Teacher/Computer Geek.

Is 'sinus infection' a code word the sisterhood uses for got drunk?? Can you say al·co·hol·ism??...Mark

Melinda, I'm truly glad you're feeling better!! I'm also glad that you're back and ready to post a little. This group you left in charge were pitiful!! I gave Grumbo, Jazzman, Bob and all the others some time off so I could 'spar' with the replacements. I kept them at bay with half my personality tied behind my back!!(and boy was Sandy pissed when I finally untied her)...Mark

boy i tell you, he says we got drunk and then he becomes Mr Hyde how he is glad i am feeling better!! What a Guy!!


Our Fearless Leader is FAMOUS!!! Way to go Melinda!!!!!!!Quote:

One cruiser went, with ruler in hand, and measured the stateroom door. I copied the dimensions down for my own decorating purposes and would be glad to share them with you:

27 Inches wide
6 1/2 Feet high
3 Inches Deep

Happy decorating!!

WHEE!!! Anyone want my autograph?????? LOL!!!
( now i am just thinking of it, i can't beleive i actually did that!!)

Beleive it or not, i am still pooped!! Ran around like a lunatic between 2 schools dealing with fundraising problems all day and then got home and my kids got home in 1/2 hour and then ran out again to take them to Piano and Dance...
Didn't even UNPACK yet!!!! Nor, did i go major food shopping yet either!!!! (only got a few things like milk and bread after we flew in) My family and I had to go to Friendly's restuarant to eat dinner tonight!!! and Bob was MAD!! He wanted a home cooked dinner!!He was sick of going out...Well, I am too!!! I am going nuts, crazy, looney tune...aaaahhh!!!!

Now you just be quiet,MARK and the rest of you LOONEYHOODS!!!!!! you have NO IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A FULL TIME MOM!!!!! I am actually talking to my grateful sisters!!!! You men stay out of it!!!!

Maybe i should have a drink,,,,, except, we aint got any in this house!!!!

Hopefully i get back to my old self tomorrow and start being a fearless leader again!!! My parents from NJ are coming tomorrow night and my father..a great cook, is cooking for us for the whole weekend...What a relief!!!! Hopefully i can catch up some posts this weekend.

Ta ta...

 

[Bmwdsny]

Let me put it to you this way......

IT'S PAYBACK TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and a BIG thank you Barbara for introducing!! wink, wink... and we are the PITIFUL ones???

 

[mark & sandra]

Welcome back Melinda!! This thread isn't the same without you. It's much slower!! I wouldn't be surprised if we all get banned here! Grown men and women, trash talking complete strangers on the internet! Sandy now asks me why I laugh when I check in. I think she's getting ready to start posting, but that'll be the end of me getting on here.

This thread has really done wonders for me. It makes me laugh everyday and keeps me sharp on the whole gender-war thing. I now know an amazing amount of facts on Lakewood, Mississauga, Oregon, Easton, and Melbourne.

If this cruise pans out like it shaping up to, we gotta do this again...Mark

 

[Bmwdsny]

Oh, keep on talking Mark....i mean, Mr hyde....

Too little, too late!!!!

boy, isn't your JANUARY15th cruise coming around soon?????? HMMMMMMMM????????

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Awww Mark, now that is very sweet...what are you up to now???!!! Please tell Sandra to come on in, but just have her let you stick around too! My Brian keeps saying he's gonna log on, but he still keeps hearing about our thread via me.

Melinda girlfriend, you need to slow down and take a breath or you will get a relapse and be in bed for too many days. You returned home from your trip and went full force into regular life. Get the kids to school tomorrow, take a little nap, let the unpacking wait, get a few groceries, and take time to breathe or the holidays will be no fun. And, that's an order from your Sister in Crime!

Arlene, you made me laugh with your description of yourself! You may "appear" to be that way on the outside, but we on this thread know better!

Good night all, see ya' in the new day!

***PS I got a really cool new avatar on that other site...YIPPEE!!! Thank you, thank you, and a BIG THANK YOU to its creator!!! It is really special! Nite all!

 

[Grumbo]

My Brain keeps saying she's gonna log on, but she still keeps hearing about our thread via me.

Heck Mom2Belle&PeterPan why log your brain in to post here? That isn't a pre-requirement for the sisterhood.

Thanks for the time off from this group of Estrogen charged groupies Mark. Jazz and I enjoyed your witty reparte. Unfortunately it was very one sided and the ladies didn't seem to be up the challenge.

btw Arlene what are you serving for Christmas eve supper? we are going to be in Mississauga and may be looking for dessert

Cheers,
Grumbo

Our Christmas Eve tradition is .... SUSHI!!!! We like to eat a light meal before the high-powered pig-out on Christmas Day, so we've gotten into the habit of ordering a sushi tray and picking it up after attending the early Children's Service at Church!

There's always fruitcake and cookies if you'd like to drop by!

(What brings you to Mississauga on Christmas Eve???)

Arlene

Now there, Arlene, here is your grand opportunity to make your own cake and have Grumbo EAT IT too!!! Btw, i saw a guy in Disney with a T shirt that says; I am a fruitcake, with NUTS!!!

Barbara, i will survive!! Thanks! i am actaully relaxing now and will get to my chores when i want to..

Bob, (Izzi), I remember reading your post about a name and number of the cruise person to contact regarding dinner ressies. PM me about it...Also, i will have a rental car that i will probably return on the day of cruise. I want to get there before the bus load you fools there!! LOL!!!

I am in process of printing my e mail i recieved from some of you with confirm #. (Renee, i love your Tink E Mail!!!!) Now i have to go back here and look for the EAYOR list again and will wait for Bob to Pm me and i will call them and inquire about it.

Looks like that 1/15 cruise is sticking up for Mark, accusing us of "hijacking" their thread. Well don't worry Sisters, just wait until they see who he really is, in person. Now that will be a different story!!!! Oh, They will be so sorry that they didn't listen to us "pitiful" sisters!! Can't say we didn't warned them!! LOL!!!

Regarding DL.... Right now, i am staying at Residence Inn Garden Grove. how far is it from HOJO's?? but i am still trying to get into Marriott Newport Beach Villas to stay, but for now it is RI.

 

[Grumbo]

Brother in law lives in Mississauga and meeting at his place for Christmas Eve supper. Sushi!!!! I can't stomach it, whereas Doris and Meagan love it. Also have good friends that live by the golf club at Dixie just south of the QEW and probably drop in and see them.

Melinda do you need our ressie numbers? Our crew that have different ressie numbers are linked with Jazz's ressie already. I'll have to call All Seas to get my ressie number for all of us.

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[Bmwdsny]

I am with you Grumbo, you won't see me eat Sushi either!!! Just eating regular food in Japan, Epcot, already took me to the bathroom!! LOL!!

I probalblry just need your ressie # if the others are linked with yours. I don't think i have Jazz's. hold on... let me look who i have...

Ok,

I have:
Arlene's (Missaugamom)
Denine
Lynn (Luv2dream)
Renee (piglet33)

Susan: give me one confirmation # and the others should links with yours.

Mark: What the problem?? What do you mean what # do i need?? The ressies #, or confirmation # that you got when you made ressies...you know...NUMBERS...they look like this...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, in any order... LOL!!!

Bob, (Izzi), I remember reading your post about a name and number of the cruise person to contact regarding dinner ressies. PM me about it....

Melinda, I'll PM tonight. The email is at home, and I'm at work. Ask your Bob about work...he'll explain it to you!

Bob

 

[paulcrsb]

Melinda - Are you doing main or late seating links?

Paul

 

[Bmwdsny]

Bob

Oh don't YOU get me going, Bob!! Let me tell ya something...My bob went back to "work" yesterday and all he did was talk about his vacation all day to his secretaries, while I ran around like a lunatic!!!

Also, i am trying to take off the 1st countdown time off my signature and it comes back as "Your signature can not be longer than 500 characters". What is up with that??? I am erasing it, not adding, and i keep getting that repsonse!! in fact, i erased the whole thing and it still comes up with that....
I do not, repeat, DO NOT like this new set up....

Also, what is that green dot, purple dot on the left side way below our avator???? Some of us has green and others are purple,,,I always got the green. And some of you have the exclamation point around a trianuglar shape, what is that???

 

[Bmwdsny]

Melinda - Are you doing main or late seating links?

Paul

Main...

EileenAmI is doing the Late...who, speaking of her, anyone seen her lately??

 

[Bmwdsny]

Ok, now i am really starting to get MAD!!! How do you change the custom avator?? It only showing the standard ones and the avator i have now, the ship, is a custom one and i want to change it for Christmas purposes and i can't!!!! I HATE THIS.. I HATE THIS.. I HATE THIS!!!!!

i am better off staying at my other chat..... they don't fix it when it ain't broke!!!!!
