Paul: Wishing you the best of the best trips ever!!! Wow, you have all the special cruises booked, lucky you! Come back and tell us all about it!

As far as the "toenail photo" - dd 9 said, "That is NASTY!!!" Ds 13 said to her, "It looks like your toes!" Good brother, good brother... Causing problems between my kids now, are ya' Mark?!

Think I'll print the "Santa at Castaway Cay" photo!

It was Barbara who requested it:

Just a common "typo" 1/15/05 cruisers. Just ask Mark about the "toenail photo" and the his "Desperate DISWives" sagas - these are just a few of his concoctions. (BTW Mark, the rest of the Sisterhood will be here in force soon, very soon. )

Don't know about the others, but this one is incorrect:

All 50! states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill.

According to http://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/portraits.shtml#q5 :

What States are shown on the back of the five-dollar bill?

The vignette on the reverse of the five-dollar bill depicts the Lincoln Memorial. You may be aware that, engraved on that Memorial are the names of the 48 states in 1922, which was the year the Memorial was dedicated. There are engravings of 26 State names on front of the building, which appears on the note vignette. As a result, only 26 of the States appear on the note.

The upper frieze of the Memorial bears the States of Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, and North Dakota. The lower Frieze lists the States of Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, and New York. In addition, the engravings show the abbreviated names "Hampshire" (for New Hampshire) and "Carolina" (for South Carolina). We have no information why the prefixes for these states were not used.

Paul, We need you to do some more recon work. Since Bob hasn't posted about his finding, you know how forgetful those old folks are, we need you to find out some things. Ask if the cruise director will be onboard during our cruise. See if she has internet access and would be interested in checking out our thread. Getting up to speed on this bunch won't be easy, but it'll make our cruise that more memorable. Tell her we want some activities that involves the women known as the sisterhood. I'll be happy to furnish their name and any other info/dirt I can dig up on the net for her. Ask her if she can at least mention some of them at special group gatherings, like the sailaway party, etc....mark

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Yep, I did... And, just so you know Mark, this photo will be your best friend during the fourteen days. I am very adept at making magnetic photos & signs. It is yours forever now! I will only stop at Sandra's request, and my dh is very willing to accommodate my actions & wishes too as my accomplice, after all, he does have to live with me so I get what I want - hee, hee, hee... (Melinda, can you see the Sisterhood now...the toenail picture will follow Mark wherever he goes...we can be the "toe-nails photo partners in crime!")

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

SISTERHOOD, get our t-shirts ready!!! We may get some free drinks out of this, LOL!

Mark - I've printed out your post. I'll see what I can find out!

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Thank you Paul...you know you are only giving more points to the Sisterhood by doing this, right?!!!

Has anyone seen this underwater camera? Dh may scuba dive since we have enough hours at some of the ports...I prefer it to be family time at the ports, but hey, how often do opportunities like these arise? Guess I need to be a good wife and compromise a bit...he deserves some special fun...scuba diving is a passion for him, albeit an old passion.

Anyway, check this out - good price, flash, and good depth. It's from another thread:

Uh Barbara, you don't mean the WET t Shirt right??????? I think that only way we would get free drinks!!!

Paul, leaving Monday?? Going to WDW too???

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Uh Barbara, you don't mean the WET t Shirt right??????? I think that only way we would get free drinks!!!

Oh my Mel, no...no...no wet t-shirt contests (unless I for one begin working out again...which maybe I'd better do to be strong enough for this cruise, lol!) No, what I meant is we should get some "Ship of Fools Sisterhood Alliance" t-shirts. I mean after all, we will probably be celebrities on the ship, ROFL!!!!!!!
