First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Eight is Enough, more than enough

I'm a bit of a nervous flyer myself. I never was until I had a very bad experience from Dallas to Las Vegas. The pilot went up into a thunder storm and we got caught in it. Apparently, they thought they could get around it. It felt like we were on a sled. It was pretty freaky.

Chris counts to some number (don't know what) after take off. He feels better after he reaches that number. Well that and the xanex takes effect. ;)

Something to take the edge off is a great idea Jen! :thumbsup2
 
Hopefully someone will have a tripod for this.

Hey Jeff. I'm expecting it would be done by Disney photogs with the right equipment. This wouldn't be one of us with a tripod.

Confirmation that a photo is being thought of. :banana: Thanks Tracy! :goodvibes

I'm not sure if I will have a tripod, but I will have my wide angle lens and remote shooter.

George, it was confirmation that there is a welcome aboard event, not that a photo is being thought of. Pete already announced the welcome aboard event.
 

I'm not supersticious, just nervous. I do some really crazy, dangerous things during the course of doing my job, and I know flying is safe but it gets me every time. :sad2:

I hate flying. Take off always makes me nervous.

I am also nervous while flying. I don't remember having this problem when I first started going to WDW back in the late 80's. Maybe it's related to 9/11. Flying is definitely more stressful than it used to be. It would probably help if I stopped watching Air Emergency on the National Geographic Channel. :scared1:
 
You must have lots of nude beaches in SC. :rotfl2:

And I beleive you and DD are parasailing at 10am. ;)

I'm in NC, George! Yes to the parasailing but I don't know what else we may do. Thinking about maybe bicycling. :confused3

I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth here. If I were still married to my ex, I would probably be dealing with similar issues. Not to the degree of not being able to come home afterwards or anything, but he was anti-social...never paid me a compliment, even when I fished for one, and rarely told me that he loved me unless I initiated it. I always felt it was just a response...not a genuine feeling. We had hit the point of taking separate lives...he was a workaholic while I was more of a social butterfly, so to speak. I realized that I needed certain things from my spouse towards the end that I just wasn't getting...it kinda sucked.

In steps Matthew. I hit the jackpot with him...we've known each other since high school and even with a 10 year gap in our relationship, we picked right back up where we left off. He knows that I need to hear that he loves me...and that he thinks i'm beautiful...he knows right when I need a little boost in the self-esteem. :goodvibes He is just amazing...don't get me wrong though...he used to give me a hard time about DISing so much, but he hasn't said much since I found the podcast forum. Now he just teases me...lol...he's done the online community life before so he understands my addiction...;)

And to this day...I REFUSE to say I love you too...and he remembers what I had told him about my previous marriage and the I love you toos...he won't say it either! :thumbsup2

He's a keeper and I hope that anyone who's looking for their perfect match finds someone as amazing as my DH. :love: You just can't have mine...:rotfl: You guys will love him when you meet him...just don't LOVE him :lmao:

And for the difficult husbands...I wouldn't worry about them too much...shove 'em into a deck chair and come play with us! :rolleyes1

That's great, Brandie! (BTW, I like Metallica too but don't worry... I'm not a hugger. ;))

Oh, I wanna play the bathing suit game! As much as I HATE to bathing suit shop, DD15 and I went shopping this week. After much disappointment (mine, not hers!), we both ended up with a suit:

this is mine: http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=50434&CatID=51410&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=157c4b6&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=50434%7c50446%7c51410&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=17&CmCatId=50434|50446|51410

and of course the skinny little brat got this: http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=50455&CatID=57437&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=15eb993&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=EXTERNAL%7c68062&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=21&CmCatId=external|57437

DD15 looks like the model in HER suit, the little twit. (i'm not bitter, really, I'm not :rolleyes1 )

I like them both!


Brandie, that's great to hear about Matt. I've got it pretty good with James, too. We've been married since I was 19 years old. I was so stupid to get married when I was 19. But, I was very fortunate to find such a great man. Sometimes he irritates the heck out of me, but I think it goes both ways. We are definitely opposite, but we bring out the best in each other.

If memory serves, you married the bad boy, Nicole. I kinda did too. I guess I have a thing for the wounded ones. Maybe that's why I prefer Jacob over Edward? :confused3

Group Photo?

I wonder if a group photo of all of us on the Wonder is being planned? Seems obvious but since we don't know any details yet it may not hurt asking the question. I'd buy an 8x10. :)

I'm all over this! :thumbsup2

I was thinking we needed one at the Dole Whip meet at the Poly. Wouldn't that be cool to post on the DW for Bawb thread?

::yes::

Hey can someone post Todd's podcast cruise logo? The large logo?

I thought I had saved it, but I can't find it now...

Here ya go, Brandie...

I think more summer clothes will be out in a few weeks, hopefully! I would think with spring break in full mode, there would be tons of items out there. I need another bathing suit and I am having terrible luck finding one. It doesn't help that I am so self concious about how I look anyways, haha! I only wear jeans and cringing at the thought of wearing shorts in public. We'll see what I'll find later.

This is me also. I never wear shorts. Not even at WDW. The best I can do are capris... and they have to be denim. Bathing suit? Forget it. (I have the cottage cheese, fat, flabby thighs and fat around my knees.) I'm determined to wear a bathing suit during this cruise though. At CC at least. I'm waiting to shop for cruise stuff next month.... after I've lost more weight. Weight loss program is working so far. No/low fat diet and at least 30 minutes on the treadmill everyday. 10 laps up and down the stairs helps too. ;) Wii Fit has me at 148 as of today.
 
Chris used to be great when flying, then on the return from our honeymoon we flew through a nasty storm. I watched the lightening from Baltimore to Philly. Turbulance dropping us, alarms going off. Like a movie!
 
When I was growing up, my stepdad had a Cessna that we would take to Ocracoke Island on the NC coast. The airstrip was right on the beach. Anyway, my mom would often fall asleep on the trips. Once she was out, my stepdad and I would give each other "the look". He would then push the control forward and we would drop suddenly. My mother woke up screaming each time. :rotfl:Sometimes, he would let me take the controls and I would do it. I loved it!!! My mom? Not so much.
 
Wow. Now I know why I had this urge to get online tonight. My DIS buds were concerned about me. :hug: Lisa sent me a PM on FB so I thought I better come over here and set your minds at ease.....

So, yeah, I had the DH talk. I was a nervous wreck all day yesterday and just couldn't come on here. I waited for DH to kinda initiate the conversation after he got home but when he didn't, I did. He said, "Say whatcha need to say and be done with it." *sigh* Not a good start. Anyway, to make a long story short, I did most of the talking and got it all out in the open. Did it solve anything? Not really. Not yet anyway. I think he needs a bit of time to process it all. (That's ok. I'll give him 1 week.) As of right now, he's (grudgingly) going on the trip. Not sure that's a good thing though. What's he gonna be like? Is he gonna ruin it for me and DD? :confused3 I wish I could share a lot more about this with you guys but DH thinks all I do is talk about him behind his back to you guys as it is. (For the record, I never talked about DH until recently and I really haven't said much.) If you haven't guessed already, DH really hates it when I'm DISing.

Well, it's taken quite awhile to compose this. I had to keep editing because I felt I was divulging too much info. All is ok though. Time will tell. I'll keep ya posted on any progress (or lack there of).

Thanks for thinking about me guys! :hug:
Dara- my thoughts are with you!!! :grouphug: I am really looking forward to meeting you guys on the cruise!

Man I love the Outer Banks. :love: I haven't been that far south, but Chris has. I am really looking forward to our big summer vacation there next year.
 
Luv ITunes. There's nothing like instant gratification. You hear a song you like, you can go purchase and download it immediately. No waiting to go to the store.

What was your first purchase Jen?

I have very ecletic taste. I like just about everything. Folk, rap, pop, classics, swing, new age, metal.... the is list long. My first purchase was the Cranberries - Zombie.
 
Flying doesn't bother me at all. Worst experience was flying into Albuquerque about 15-17 years ago. Terrible storm in NM and on approach in a turn the wings went to 12 and 6 o'clock. :scared: For a second I thought we were going to barrel roll. While that was the biggest scare, flying home from Jamaica with swimmers ear was worse. :eek:

George, it was confirmation that there is a welcome aboard event, not that a photo is being thought of. Pete already announced the welcome aboard event.

Ohhhhh. Thanks Tracy. Looks like I'll have to send an email.

I'm in NC, George! Yes to the parasailing but I don't know what else we may do. Thinking about maybe bicycling. :confused3

Sorry Dara. :sad2: I'm not good with my Carolina's. DW and I are not sure what else we are doing on CC. Maybe floating around on the water, drinks, lunch. Stuff like that.
 
lots of cute suits ladies (sorry i am like 10 pages back catching up!):rotfl2: i might have to check out land's end.

i am one of THOSE....yeah, an over 30 that still wears a bikini (i'm 35)! and no, i am not a model, far from it. :rotfl: I am comfortable in it and take care of myself and am secure wearing one, so i do. I think that is why you see many ladies over 30 wearing them, i think the older we get, the more comfortable we get in our skin, no matter how saggy it might be. At least I have, no matter how imperfect it is. So sue me! I work hard (usually!) to stay in shape, although i've fallen off the wagon lately. :rotfl: :confused3 I am sure at some point i will stop wearing one, but for now, i still have a few good years left. might as well take advantage, right? :lmao:

I am actually trying to find a cute one piece or tankini too.

so here is one i found at the gap today- i LOVE green!

Gonna go now, folks. I've got a headache that came up pretty quick this evening. I'll be back sometime tomorrow after I finish my dogs. Have a good evening!

Where's the Tylenol....
:sick:
