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

[RobinMarie]

'Night all - heading off to bed to sleep off the flu - got to go to work tomorrow - oh, and yes, it's Desperate Housewives coming on as well. Now if only Disney could get teri hatcher on board - oh well, a Brother can only dream!

I prefer the weed wacker guy myself.

Sleep well and feel better!

Mark - Great Mat! I'll take one and am happy to pay for postage to send it to me. Let me know ballpark how much the mat alone is going to cost for the newsletter. Thanks.

Susan - Put me down for 2 medalion now that I have a reason to use them (scrapbook and picture frame)

Big Cheeser - do you want me to put something in the newsletter about dancing? PM me if you do!

Thanks Q! Even though lurker Renee found the coupon on your thrad, it's so nice when the Westbounders share with us!

 

[winotracy]

Mark, you are totally awesome! That is one great mat. I know you will have lots of buyers.

As soon as Susan and husband get the design released, I can upload it to cafepress. She said it would be this weekend, and as I am going to be off line till sometime Sunday evening, the soonest we will have the ordering ability would be Monday. In addition to the shirts for adults and kids, I added in CDs, both Music and Data, a great way to have your poolside music on a cool CD and a nice way to store those digital photos. There is a cruiser who will have transfer from your camera to the CD equipment on the ship, too. Check the "other" site for info. I also added a journal book. And a tote bag. Happy shopping.

Marsha,

Can you PM or e-mail what you want me to put in the newsletter? Thanks!

They are the same as the pin except they won't have the pin part on the back. Does that make sense?

Susan: Yes, I totally understand why John chose BHTM - from an art layout standpoint it makes much more sense.

I just made the comment in my post above because we had a whole BTMH vs. BHTM discussion in chat last nite and I thought Mark had done this matte after we (him included) had all talked last nite. Oh, never mind. I feel like I've put my foot in my mouth!! Maybe I should lurk more and post less.

no no!! post MORE not less!!

Nonsense! You're more than entitled to your opinion and I know that many agree. We most certainly don't want you to post less!

In *my* opinion "Brining Home the Magic" just sounds awkward because it's gramatically incorrect. "Bringing the Magic Home" just seems to flow much more smoothly. And, from a design perspective, I don't see any difference at all.

Since I didn't design the artwork I certainly don't expect any changes to be made! Just throwing my opinion out there!

Edited to add: And thanks to the designer for their work!

 

[Verandah Man]

I think way back when................the thread started with "Bringing the Magic Home" that's the way it was written on the door magnet signs and t-shirts anyhow. Even though we won't be with y'all, we do wish each and everyone one of you the most MAGICal cruise of all!!!

J...

I agree the artwork and effort are far more important than the word order! But I got to admit, I'm not even consistent with myself! I know I argued and voted for BHTM even though BTMH is correct! Some BS about emphasis on Bringing Home! Check my signature! I added that the day I made my reservation! So I guess I really don't care! Or don't remember!!!

Bob

PS So the check is in the mail....again!

 

[Bmwdsny]

Mark, one other question...

What size photo do you get to fit in that top area?? Of course, it will have to be a horizontal one too, right????

Thank you SO much for all the work you've done on these, Renee They'll be going straight into my cruise suitcase as soon as I get them.

Arlene

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Thanks Renee. I can't wait to get mine in the mail.

How funny Arlene. I have a cruise suitcase as well. It is already a little "stuffed".

Thanks to all of you and your creative side. I wish I had it!

All my plans are made. Just need to buy airline tickets back to Denver. Been hoping for a price decrease but I don't think I will see it. It was so cheap flying into LAX.

The matt was done a few days ago and I was unable to post it due to computer issues. I'm sure my design will be tweaked before a final version is made. As far as your putting foot to mouth, we forgive you!! After all you are a member of the weaker sex. We need more postings by women such as you who realize they make errors and aren't afraid to admit it. Your opinion is valued even if ignored by the other women here. The proud members of Club JGE salute you...Mark

 

[mark & sandra]

Mark, one other question...

What size photo do you get to fit in that top area?? Of course, it will have to be a horizontal one too, right????

I've made it to fit an 8 X 10. I can also make one to fit a 6 X 8, (the other size photos made on the ship)...Mark

 

[ladypoo]

Mark, can we get 2 sets of the Mats? It is gorgeous, (even with Andy and Hazel in it) They couldn't be a more deserving couple.

I think we are about set to go. We have a room to stay in while in Cali, transportation to the port and tickets to get to Cali.
We are looking at Town car companies to get us from the airport to the Hotel. There are so many to choose from. They all cost about the same. Has anyone made reservations with any of the Limo services out there?
