First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Ten, Seriously Ten?!? You People Talk Too Much

[TheBeadPirate]

My FE gifts are almost done! They are assembled, but I need to do a tag to say who it's from...and they are small enough that it shouldn't be a problem to put them in my luggage. I hope...LOL

I started going through my clothes yesterday. Since it's obvious that there's no shopping in my immediate future I needed to figure out what I have that is suitable for this trip. I've found a few dresses that I forgot about...cute tropical style dresses that will work well for evenings on the cruise. I've got quite a few pairs of capris too...although I may hit Target to see if they still carry the kind that I prefer...they were always only about $10. And now I just need to decide on shoes...hopefully I have something that will work with everything...

You have tags on yours? I shoved all of ours in the suitcase without anything!

We put tags with ours so folks would know from whom they came. I'm not sure everyone is doing that though. I guess it's your choice.

Thanks for the luck! Today is Good Friday so for some people it's what I call a Dealer's Choice holiday. (Is it wrong to mix Jesus and gambling in the same metaphor?) Anywho, they don't let me stop working on any holiday, so when the work's in I'm doing it. But the DH doesn't take his "optional" holiday today. He takes St. Patrick's Day because we live downtown so it's just a zoo to try to go anywhere or do anything.



Taunting on other sections of the boards, Kevin? Better take Paul as a human shield.

Best singer ever.....

It's Good Friday here which is always the friday before Easter and a stat holiday for everyone. I just assumed it would be a stat holiday for you guys as well.
Easter Sunday holiday.
Everything is closed on the Friday and Sunday.
This includes all beer and liquor stores.
However Easter monday the day after Easter is a holiday for goverment, banks and teachers.

Kevin if you are going to taunt I agree take Paul with you!


As for Patsy Cline being the best ever I totally agree!
I have been a fan of her music for as long as I can remember!

Don't panic...I'm just putting a tag that says it's from me and DH...nothing exciting...

Oh and Jen...I found the missing "things" I thought were lost forever for my FE gifts!

Kim...that's about what our temp always did when I was out of the office too. I couldn't exactly have her order books or make the Sam's Club runs or the many other things that I did. I told them they had internet access and to bring books or magazines to help occupy their time.

I've got a friend at a temp agency. She was always the one who I called whenever I needed coverage for vacations. She knew trouble was brewing where I worked so it won't come as a surprise to her...

I wasn't going to do tags but a lot of other folks said they were so I conformed. But I don't think they are necessary unless you want people to know the gift came from you.

I find that most things are open here in the states on Good Friday with some exceptions. I know the stock market is closed today. Monday is a regular working day for all. I work for the post office and today is business as usual. Stores and such are open today as well. Too bad, it would be nice to have more paid holidays.

I just cannot keep up with this thread - I have tried and tried but I fail every time. My apologies if this has been brought up before but I wanted to tell everyone who was able to get through to the call-in show - you all made me smile the entire show (posting here since the show was mostly podcast cruisers). I loved to hear from everyone and cannot wait to meet everyone next month. I've been sick this week and feel like a truck ran over me but while I was listening to the show, y'all made me forget I how awful I am feeling. I had a smile from ear to ear the entire time - you guys are awesome and I just wanted to say a big thank you for the smiles!

Also, DH was wondering if anyone here will be doing the beer tasting. He knows I won't touch the stuff but I figured there might be a few people here who would be doing the tasting.

My kids always have off Easter Monday. Our spring break is basically thus, fri and monday. Next year they have 10 days in a row off (incl. weekends). I'm not sure we'll know what to do with ourselves!

We're off to MIL's for the weekend. The beagles are going to spend some time bonding with the cows that live on the farm next door to her. That should be some fun....

Happy Good Friday everyone
I had my LASIK surgery yesterday and happy to announce I now have 20/15 vision. I had my first post op appointment this morning - I am so relieved.... I was having nightmares about something going wrong so close to the cruise!!

We also found water shoes at Walmart - I know, very exciting

The kids are now off until Monday the 20th , I think I am going to take them to see the Hannah Montanna Movie sometime during next week so they don't drive me crazy!

I hope to do one of the beer tastings along the way. DH doesn't drink beer, but I'd like to do the tasting. Seeing all of the beer posts on this thread, I'm sure that there will be a bunch of DISers who want to sign up.

The only thing is - that's not a DIS organized event and you have to sign up on board, so we'll all have to decide which one we want to do and sign up for it once we get there.

Hi Stacy. Hope you feel better.

I'm on the fence about the beer tasting. I've seen what is offered and it just doesn't do anything for me. Not that the beers are that awful, it's just I've pretty much had them. Here is what I've seen them do in the past.

#1 Kiren, Peroni, Sam Adams, Boddington's, Guinness
#2 Yuengling, Stella Artois, New Castle, Bass Ale, Harp Lager

I'm sure something different could be offered. I'll have to see a show of hands if there is more interest in the beer tasting. Maybe we'll have to put something together as a contrast to the martini and wine tastings.

Tell DH I definately plan to get the refillable 22 oz beer mug for $14.95. Refills are $4.89 and that includes the 15% gratuity. Basically you get 22oz for the same price as 16oz plus you get to keep the mug at the end of the trip.

Afternoon everyone.

Yeah a day off work although I'm going in tomorrow to clean up some stuff. Hopefully no one will be there.

Bit of news here although I'm not sure how I feel about it. My son's in the Reserves here in Canada and just got the news yesterday that he's going to Petawawa on May 4th to start training to go to Afghanistan in February 2010 for 6-8 months. Here it's a bit different from the US in that our Reserves have a choice -- they volunteer to go. He's been in the Reserves since he was 16 (he'll be 23 in July) and he's been anxious to go for the last while. He even changed his trade to be able to go so it looks like I won't be sleeping starting next February. He's happy as a clam although when he called me he hadn't told his girlfriend yet so we'll see how that goes.

No matter how old they get you still worry about them.

Glad to hear everything went well Andrea. Be careful not to rub your eyes. And being spring, there is a lot of sand/salt residue on the roads. If it's real windy, it could present a problem being outside. Be careful.

 

[georgemoe]

Just gave myself the afternoon off.

Gonna get a little yard work in after lunch and take a break from the computer screens. I'm getting bug eyed for crying out loud.

Oh Dodie. I'll drink beers with you.

Be back tonight peeps. Enjoy the rest of your Friday.

Like I have said before, I know very little about beer. I had thought about trying Stella, it is a favorite of some of my friends. I really like the mug. It would be great as a souvenir.

My 18 year old Stepson has been a Marine for just over a year (He actually graduated early so he could go sooner). He is currently in Japan and also is hoping to go to Afghanistan or Iraq. It's not exactly what we would like, but it is his life so we will stand behind him. Honestly, we are in awe of him and could not be more proud of his bravery.
I will keep your son in my thoughts and prayers, and please thank him for his service, they are all true heroes!
