August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[invaderzim]

Don't mean to butt in -- since I'm not cruising with you all on the reunion cruise. But since I was on this cruise, I went to read the new thread to see what all the fuss was about this Jeff.

I was rather surprised at his comment about how you had "taken over" the thread he started. Even I knew that that thread originated here and was for those going on the reunion cruise originally. It was, I know, a harmless way of keeping the momentum going from our unique experience. I can't see anywhere that any of you made anyone feel left out. It's unfortunate that comments even had to be made and he couldn't just join in and go with the flow!

Oh, well -- keep happy thoughts and enjoy your countdown. I will miss you all and will especially miss all the planning and shared info.

In case you guys didn't notice I changed the name of the other thread and will be posting reunion things over here. I can't understand what the problem is. I didn't join the 8/28 thread until May or June. By that time you were all good friends - so what? You guys included me right in.

Remember when the DIS was fun and light-hearted?


Dori - I still want the Tee Shirts! Thanks for the offer.


Terry - Love ya kiddo!

Karen - I PM'd you. You did it right!

Cathy - Thanks for your support - sorry you can't come with us this time!

 

[SeaSpray]

Cathy: Thank you! I feel like you have an unbiased opinion. I hope we have the opportunity to cruise together again some time

Mary Rose: Yes, I did notice that you changed the title of the other thread.

Dori: I'm interested in the shirts, too

 

[Mary Anne]

I have to agree with Cathy, I felt funny saying something on the new thread since I wasn't crusing in two years.

And for the record, I vote to TWO t-shirts, one for the old and one for the new cruise.

I've been thinking of all of you who are ill, my best wishes and prayers go out to you.

Terry, MaryRose and Lyn:


I agree with you 200%

 

[winnyis]

I also agree with Terry 100%. Jeff may have started the thread about the "good deal" on the 8/19 cruise but we had a thread started for Summer 2006 reunion cruise before the dates were even announced.

Lets not get worked up over this guys.. its not worth it... we all know that we had a great time together and cant wait to cruise again together... dont let anyone bring down our enthusiasm for our next adventure together.

Karen.. please give Doreen my best and tell her to get better soon... I NEED MY SMOOTHIE BUDDY TO BE HEALTHY.

Talk to you all soon


Ginny

I just got off the phone with Doreen. She had the test done and the Neurologist who is the best in the area is taking her case on. He will be in tonite to see her. She wishes she had her laptop with her. I told her I am writing to you guys and updating them constantly as I get new info. She misses you all. We are both with Terry 200%. What thead are we posting on so I make sure I get all the mail.

Hi everyone

I finished most of the pictures from the cruise. If anyone wants to view them go to http://community.webshots.com/user/trinibjill
Enjoy. I still have two more days to do. Finding time to do this kind of difficult between work & sports.

Even though I lurked around this site for a while when I finally introduced myself everyone was great. I enjoyed meeting everyone & I hope all are feeling better that have been ill.

Enoy your 2006 cruise. We are going on the XMAS Eastern cruise 2005.

God go with all of you

Hi Everyone:

I can't help myself I have to post this.

When we left the cruise I had stated it would probably be our last Disney Cruise and the ONLY reason I rebooked is the chance to cruise again with the great friends we made on the Aug. 28th cruise. This was our 5th Disney cruise and DIS meet and none of the other meets turned out like this one did. I feel we made life long friends.

Jeff may have started the thread about the "good deal" on the 8/19 cruise but that had no part in my going on this cruise. As Ginny stated we were all talking about a reunion cruise before the rates even came out.

Love you all,

Lyn


Doreen: GET BETTER SOON!!! We miss you!!

 

[lynr]

Bobby & Cindy:

Glad to see you back. Hope everything is ok.

Were you able to book the cabin you wanted from All Seasons?

Matt is still hanging in there.

You can see my comments on that matter on the other thread. Our great friend Terry was going to take a break from the boards because of those nasty comments, and we won't stand for that. We can just keep posting here and be very happy!

Lyn

 

[MoranClan]

If you want...
I can post a really Nice..hahahaah Message for Jeff...I bet he wont come back..

C'mon C'mon..Please please...

Thanks for your thoughts...

We were renting out a house to my friends...They havent paid in 3 months...and I am now trying to handle 2 mortgages...Kinda hard,,,,,

I booked the cruise, but had to take the deposit back...DONT WORRY..we are going...Just have to sell the house first...I know i will lose my discount, but thats ok..

I have been working alot of hours for the extra money, as well as Cindy...

I pray the other house will sell ASAP..

We were supposed to sell it last year, but the lady backed out..again put us in a hole last year..I rented it to my So Called friends...and well....Stopped paying and trashed the house...So we have been there cleaning and painting and fixing...

Thats what is going on..Like I said nothing thats bad..But financially its killing us..

Bobby

 

[DARWIN91]

Bobby, that is a major bummer! Hope all goes well!

 

[lynr]

Bobby & Cindy:

I am so sorry to hear about your rental house. I hope you are able to sell it real quick. Financial stresses can send you over the edge. Believe me I've been there!

I try never to get involved with anything financial with friends because it usually ends with them not being your friends anymore.

If you need to vent we are here. Sometimes just talking about it gets rid of some of the stress.

Lyn

 

[invaderzim]

Wow -- that tends to burst your bubble about friendships.

Hope it all works out for you -- financially and personally. It was a nice gesture though -- and you can be proud of that. Sorry you are left with the cleanup though.

 

[O'BWV]

Bobby - That really, really stinks! Especially when it's a friend. I hope the house sells really fast. Nothing like coming home to something like that - sorry buddy! Glad to hear from you!

Terry - oh Terry - where are thou?

Lynn - Glad to hear Matt's hanging in

Lucy - Welcome, read here anytime. We'll be posting on the other thread too. Looks like Jeff took off.

All - I spoke to Doreen in the hospital and she is in good spirits and says hello to everyone. She's hoping to go home tomorrow!
Thanks for defending me because I didn't hijack Jeff's post. I agree with you Ginny. All the people on the other thread are really nice, so I'm not going to dwell on it.

That's all for now friends!

Jill:

I just viewed your pictures they turned out great. I also saw that mystery woman and her son in some of them. Is that the person everyone was talking about?

Lyn

 

[trinibjill]

Hi
Yes, that is the mystery woman. Cathy (Invaderzim) identified them. Her daughter had met Samson. They happened to go on two of the excursions we went on. She was also at the pool every day around 4.

I'm glad you liked the pictures.

Jill

 

[SeaSpray]

Hi everyone

We're all feeling a little lousy...Nothing major though! All 4 of us have headaches, feeling achey, swollen glands, a bit nauseous, and Robby has a fever. I made an easy dinner, the kids are finishing up their homework, and I'm trying to relax tonight.

Joanna: I noticed that you changed the title of this thread. I love it!

Bobby & Cindy: I'm so happy that you posted, I've been hoping you guys were doing OK. That really stinks about your former friends not paying you their rent, and trashing the house I wish we lived near you, John is very handy around the house, and we'd love to come and help you out to get the house in shape to sell. I hope and pray it sells quickly.

Karen: I'm glad that Doreen might be able to go home tomorrow! Can you please email or PM me with her address. I'd like to send her a card. Speaking of that, I have been in the house for most of the last 2 days, I haven't gotten a card for Stan yet I will make sure to go to the store tomorrow and get one for him, and for Doreen.

lyn: I know you had said that you probably wouldn't be on a DCL cruise any time soon. You don't know how happy I am to know that you and Bob will cruising!! I can't wait for us to be back at the Quiet Cove pool, enjoying the sun and sea together!

Mary Rose: You really are a good friend I'm counting the days till our breakfast together!

Ginny: You are so right about not getting too worked up about the whole "other thread" thing. I thought I was being nice by responding to Jeff's comments last night. Now I wish I had just not said a thing about it, at all.

Jill: I loved seeing your pictures! It's so good to see other people's pictures from the same cruise who did other things than what we did. It gives a different perspective on it I hope you have a wonderful time on your Dec 05 cruise

All: I am going to stay here on this thread for now, but I will be on the new thread on Friday, for the OFFICIAL COUNTDOWN
