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

[mickeyfan1]

Things are so cold a raccoon in our Christmas tree out front of the house got frozen in the tree this morning. Poor thing looked terrible. Snapped a photo!!!

Cheers,
Grumbo

Make it go away, it is too scary..........................................

 

[outahere]

for some relatively useful info.

For anyone flying back to the Boston area after the cruise, I think Song reduced the cost of flights on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (9/3,4,5) from MCO to Logan. I'm pretty sure they used to be at $79, but they are $69 now. I booked the 3 of us for a little over $230 (including taxes, etc.). If you haven't booked anything yet, I don't think the price will get any better.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.........

From the marks on his fur, I'd say someone was trying to grill him. Maybe it's one of those "Burger King" raccoons?

Why of course, it is nothing more than a child that made it for Grumbo's tree!! Looks like Grumbo's face!!!!

Almost worth the hassle of BOS, guess I will have to look at song when I get around to doing my air tix. Thanks!

I'm with you, Janet!!! We'd be the "Crazy Canadians" in shorts at 32 degrees, since that's a heat wave right now!

Thanks, Barbara! Enjoy your day!

BMWDSNY CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM GRUMBO . . . .

GRUMBO: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
BMWDSNY: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
GRUMBO: Mac?
BMWDSNY: No, the name's Melinda.
GRUMBO: Your computer?
BMWDSNY: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one
GRUMBO: Mac?
BMWDSNY: I told you, my name's Melinda.
GRUMBO: What about Windows?
BMWDSNY: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
GRUMBO: Do you want a computer with Windows?
BMWDSNY: I don't know. What will I see when I look in the windows?
GRUMBO: Wallpaper.
BMWDSNY: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
GRUMBO: Software for Windows?
BMWDSNY: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
GRUMBO: Office.
BMWDSNY: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
GRUMBO: I just did.
BMWDSNY: You just did what?
GRUMBO: Recommend something.
BMWDSNY: You recommended something?
GRUMBO: Yes.
BMWDSNY: For my office?
GRUMBO: Yes.
BMWDSNY: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
GRUMBO: Office.
BMWDSNY: Yes, for my office!
GRUMBO: I recommend Office with Windows.
BMWDSNY: I already have an office with windows! OK, lets just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
GRUMBO: Word.
BMWDSNY: What word?
GRUMBO: Word in Office.
BMWDSNY: The only word in office is office.
GRUMBO: The Word in Office for Windows.
BMWDSNY: Which word in office for windows?
GRUMBO: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".
BMWDSNY: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
GRUMBO: Yes, you want Real One.
BMWDSNY: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!
GRUMBO: Real One.
BMWDSNY: If it's a long movie I also want to see reel 2, 3 & 4. Can I watch them?
GRUMBO: Of course.
BMWDSNY: Great! With what?
GRUMBO: Real One.
BMWDSNY: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?
GRUMBO: You click the blue "1".
BMWDSNY: I click the blue one what?
GRUMBO: The blue "1".
BMWDSNY: Is that different from the blue w?
GRUMBO: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word.
BMWDSNY: What word?
GRUMBO: The Word in Office for Windows.
BMWDSNY: But there's three words in "office for windows"!
GRUMBO: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world.
BMWDSNY: It is?
GRUMBO: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.
BMWDSNY: And that word is real one?
GRUMBO: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office.
BMWDSNY: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
GRUMBO: Money.
BMWDSNY: That's right. What do you have?
GRUMBO: Money.
BMWDSNY: I need money to track my money?
GRUMBO: It comes bundled with your computer
BMWDSNY: What's bundled with my computer?
GRUMBO: Money.
BMWDSNY: Money comes with my computer?
GRUMBO: Yes. No extra charge.
BMWDSNY: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
GRUMBO: One copy.
BMWDSNY: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
GRUMBO: Microsoft gave us a license to copy money.
BMWDSNY: They can give you a license to copy money?
GRUMBO: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

A FEW DAYS LATER ....

GRUMBO: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
BMWDSNY: How do I turn my computer off?
GRUMBO: Click on "START"....

I think it loves you Marsha. Would you let it sleep in your bed?

Only if it brought the champaigne! Or if I wasn't in the bed at the time.

I finally figured out that it really looks like what it is, or at least it sorta does.

Seriously, I think I need at least one. Guess I will be calling WDW Merchandise.

 

[kmiles]

MMmmmmmmmm... Champagne....

I'll keep an eye out at Disney this weekend. If I see one I'll pick it up for you! (See how great it is having friends that live so close to Disney???)

 

[mickeyfan1]

As scary as it is, I can't imagine it's a big seller. Send up some warmer weather while you are at it, please.

Thank you very much.

Pppfffsssttttt... We're still suffering from Grumbo's Canadian cold front. I mean, it's freakin' 54 here!

well now don't complain!!!! I take 54 up here!! At least Tampa is warmer than my house right now.!! 2 guys are here now fixing it!! Don't know what the problem is...It is a new heating system!! as well as everything else in this house!! Shouldn't have move to PA!!!!

It is right now 16 degrees outside and will be down to 9 degrees tonight!!

 

[Grumbo]

Hey bucko watch it. Don't be dissing our weather. I don't think that has someone with a finger massaging a worm at the bottom of their sig file should criticize anyone

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[kmiles]

Let's leave Fred out of this, OK? We're talking about that stinkin' Canadian weather and not my Fred!

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Hey, been to the "other" place, but get "The page cannot be found" after a few clicks...will check back later.

Mel, stay warm, and hope your heater is fixed soon.

Have you all been reading about the missing Carnival cruise lady? So sad. Someone who is a Disney lover was a semi-witness.

Our Susan shared info. on this at:

http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=692769&page=4&pp=15

Then, there was a reply from this "witness person" there too.

***Everyone, do not walk on the decks by yourselves, and we need to make sure our teens stay in a safe group too...now, dh & I will be bringing the reigns in on ds too on this cruise...
