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

[gassmandy]

Dan-- I think the Dis pin would be a great idea!

Welcome Octopussy!!

 

[kpgclark]

Welcome. Where are you from and who is in your sailing party?

 

[rsschneck]

Another idea since we are being called the ship of fools the newsletter could be

The Scoop of Fools

 

[gassmandy]

I like the Scoop of Fools!! That's clever!

 

[big cheeser]

How's about "Fools Rush In"

 

[Luv2Dream]

Very creative ideas for the monthly newsletter.

Dan, You said you are staying at GC. I'm keeping a list on the "other" site. I'd like to add you to that list. I'm listing by name and arrival date. Would you provide your arrival date at GC?

Had fun in chat last night. This is becoming a nightly event. That's fine by me. I like the "real time" conversation. See you there tonight?

 

[gassmandy]

What time does everyone chat when it's not the regular scheduled Tues/Sat?

 

[dan and scott]

Luv2Dream-
Arriving at the GC on 08/18!

As far as a DIS pin or a Ship of Fools pin-the least amount that can be ordered is 100. How would I go about doing a mass mailing to find out if there is interest? Or can we include it in the newsletter?

Dan

 

[Luv2Dream]

Amanda, no scheduled time....I just pop in, usually after 8pm to see if anyone's around....sometimes yes, sometimes no. If you are on the DIS, you can always post, I'm going to live chat now, anyone interested? That usually generates some activity.

Dan, Thanks, I'll add you to the list.

 

[big cheeser]

for those poor unfortunate fools (now there's Ursula's name for the newsletter) who read the brief comments a couple of days ago on my home base, the Isle of Man (as highlighted in the centre of the mural behind reception on the Magic), then I have earth shattering news - we're changing our name tonight - as of tomorrow morning, we are officially the Isle of Woman, as you will see on the Government web site www.gov.im

Cheers to all

 

[mark & sandra]

Mark, how are ya'?! Get a good nights sleep? We also had fun chatting with Sandra last night, glad your computer is fixed! So, where's your photo buddy?!!!!!!!Barbara

Not quite fixed!! After she "fixed" it I had awaken from my rare nap, notice I said rare. I went to go onto the computer and it didn't work!! She had to go and redo it all over again. I'm sure she means well but... Now it seems to be fixed and I can again read my e-mail. She just uploaded our pictures from the cruise so I will find one and copy/paste it to imagestation and forward it to that other site.

Melinda, sorry if we busted your chops a bit much before. I hope we didn't upset you too much. You do forget that you're dealing with men here!! Forgiveness is a virtue!!...Mark

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Hurray, now we'll know who Mark & Sandra are when we board (or at the party)!!!

Anyone up for a live chat? I'll be there for about 15 minutes before I have to take dd to her class.

[RobinMarie]

I'm new here! I will be on your cruise also! Can't wait to see all of the "fools" onboard!

Welcome Octopussy!

 

[Luv2Dream]

Now that's my kind of government.....Isle of Woman..... see the new rules below taken directly off their website:

Pink laws include one to command men on the Island to cook for female spouses and relatives, another to allow women to shop as much as they like, and another to force men to put the toilet seat down, the scourge of women everywhere.

I'm moving to the Isle of Woman!!!!!!

 

[kpgclark]

big cheeser-- it had to happen eventually. Here in the US they would have changed the name permanently to Isle of People or some other such nonsense!

I have been HAD again!!!! No thanks to Mark and Grumbo!! They are vicious!! They really are!!!

Hmph...Guess i forgive you!! Otherwise, what kind of life would i have without you guys???

 

[wide awake]

Woo hoo...my dad and his GF Caroline are going to be on the cruise. My father is paying their way...both DH and my sister laughed when I told them dad wouldn't accept the gift. Anyway, I am happy, my dad and Caroline are so much fun, and they're excited about the cruise. My dad has checked into getting a passport, Caroline already has one, and they have all their travel arrangements made. WinoTracy, please add 3 to the wine tasting...I think DH may go along too. Piglett, I will email you with name tag info. Is it still possible to get room signs and T-shirts ? Can all of you tell I'm giddy ???
