First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Use Multiquote, It Saves Nine

[shellyminnie]

I am just trying to figure out the suitcase issue right now.
Once I have that done I will start packing.

That was easy for me!! I have one big suitcase and one small suitcase!! The way I pack, I knew one small suitcase was not going to be enought for 8 days!!

 

[jeanigor]

Good morning!!

I have an announcement to make!!

First, let me preface this by saying that I am very much a last minute packer. But . . .

Are you ready?

Brace yourselves!!

I've started packing!!!!

I thought you were gonna say you were going on another cruise.

I thought you were gonna say you were going on another cruise.

I wish!!

The best money I EVER spent. If you have any questions, let me know. It really is amazing when you sit up and read the clock across the room. I remember being driven home afterwards and reading the signs on the road and crying. I was just overwhelmed by all the things I could see already.

I wasn't even thinking of doing it now, but my sister and my mother both went in for a consultation last week, and I figured, mind as well do it all together! The one big pain in the neck is that from now until April 9th I can't wear my contacts anymore and it's driving me crazy... I get such a headache from taking my glasses on and off - plus, I can't wear my sunglasses when I drive unless I put them on top of my glasses, and I look like a total dork.

 

[jeanigor]

Good Morning Everyone!
Did you pick the lanyard or the T-Shirt?

I haven't been contacted to choose either......

I've often toyed with getting it done. I have yet to hear of someone regretting getting it done.

Awww. Thanks for that, George.



Gotta love that smile and southern drawl!



Evidently, Kevin agreed with him. Hey, they were just really tight SHORTS.



I feel validated now. Kevin thinks he's hot too!



I hate Pink Floyd! Yuck.

OK Dara, You don't like Disco you don't like Pink Floyd I'm starting to worry about you.

I remember seeing the original RtWM in theaters.



Yup- loved Adam-12 and Emergency.



woo hoo- my first multiquote post. Proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Good morning peeps. Day off today.
Was hoping for outside chores this morning but it's dank out.
Sun is expected later today so maybe I'll get some rake work
in afterall. If not,

It's Friday so I leave you with this.

'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . .

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo.
And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest
ones at the back that are killed first.

This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole,
because the general speed and health of the whole
group keeps improving by the regular killing of the
weakest members. In much the same way, the human
brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.

Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain
cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest
brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a
faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter
after a few beers.

Oops! I knew that! Typo/not-thinking-while-typing. CONGRATS STACY!





Emergency and Adam-12 were two of my favorite shows as a kid!!!!!

I recently bought the first season of Adam-12 on DVD for my cousin after he had surgery. We both enjoyed it a lot but laughed about how DIFFERENT it was than what's on TV now. Reed and Malloy! The guy who played Reed was a huge racing fan and he used to come to the Indianapolis 500 every year (maybe he still does). He'd be in the 500 Festival parade and I think maybe he even drove the pacecar one year.

Gage and ??? I'm blanking on the other EMT's name on Emergency. The whole EMT thing was a brand new concept at the time.

Wow. I'm old.

Gage was HOT. I think the other EMT was Roy.

 

[kimisabella]

I know who Lainie Kazan is!! I love her!!

Good luck with the LASIK!!!

Thanks!

I had Lasik eye surgery in Oct./07.
Best thing I have ever done.
I feel as if I have a better life now.
It was expensive, but worth every cent.
I also figure it will pay for itself in under 10 years.
I had my consultation and sugery on the same day.
After the surgery there was about 4 hours there where I had wondered,
"what have I done to myself".
After that things got better quickly.
Good luck, you'll love it.
After it's over and your eyes have started to heal.

Wow, they won't do the surgery on me until I've had a full 2 weeks without my contacts in - plus, I think I need 2 weeks to mentally prepare myself.
It is an expense we weren't planning for right now, but, since we got some money back from tax returns I'm going to use it for that.

When I went for the consultation on Tuesday, the dr told me I have been wearing the wrong presciption and showed me what I should have been wearing... Now I know why I always had headaches - my Rx for my contacts and glasses were too STRONG!

I picked the lanyard. It has a DIS Unplugged pin on it. I have 3 different T-Shirts from the DIS already.

I wish I could have LASIK. I can't because of the problem with my Cornea.

Shelly, have you been talking to my Mom???

 

[firsttimemom]

Liz - Where are you in Maryland?

We're in Crofton- about 10-15 min outside of Annapolis.

DeSoto....yea, I'm old.

 

[firsttimemom]

Happy Friday everyone!!! It is a beautiful spring day here and I have a million things to do - my sisters bridal shower is on Sunday, and my mother is driving me and my other sister freakin crazy!!!! She is a party planning fanatic and everything has to be perfect.

The shower is at a restaurant/catering hall on the water not too far from us -unfortunatley it is supposed to rain on Sunday.

My mother is also a little freaked because there may be a celebrity coming.
For some reason, my sisters fiances family knows all these random celebrities.
Don't get too excited, it's not like its Angelina Jolie or anything, most people don't even know who this person is - her name is Lainie Kazan and I guess she's most famous for being playing the mother in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

I signed up for LASIK eye surgery this week - I'm having it done on April 9th so I can see everyone much better for the cruise!!!

LOVE her- she was in beaches. She's such a hoot! I'm way too squeemish to do LASIK. I couldn't barely read the posts about kevin's surgeries w/o getting the heebie jeevies. But everyone I know that has had it done is glad they did it.

 

[firsttimemom]

DeSoto....yea, I'm old.

THANK YOU! I was racking my brain trying to think of it (and then I had to look up whether it was 'wracking' or 'racking' bcs I didn't want the grammer police after me).

 

[exwdwcm]

woo hoo- i figured out the multiquoting too finally!

Sorry it took so long - I was back on page 40 and I'm sloooooow (but not in a window licking way, so don't start, especially you Todd!)
Thanks to everyone! Yesterday was so crazy. It took me since 4:00am to catch up but I'm finally here! (well, I did have to make a cake for work today in between) Anyway, while I am tickled pink about the trip, I feel guilty for being so happy when so many podcast cruise friends were so disappointed. I hope y'all will still let me on the party bus?

CONGRATS Stacy- i know you will have a great trip- and do not feel bad- we are all so happy for you!!

Morning Todd!

And if you partake in Characters in Flight,

Balloonery

LOL- i think we might try it before the cruise on 5/8.

Andrea- hope the shower goes well! oh and LASIK is the best. I had it done back in 1998 or so when i was 25. So it was over 10 years ago. it was amazing. however, my eyes have since regressed and i have horrible vision again (near sighted). I need to call the doc and see if he will redo it and what the cost would be. I paid only $20 out of pocket for it the first time- it was so new that it wasn't excluded yet on insurance! so i basically got it done for free. They didn't know back then how long it would last- obviously for me, it didn't last forever! you will love having great vision without the pain of contacts.

I am just trying to figure out the suitcase issue right now.
Once I have that done I will start packing.

i plan to start packing some this weekend!

 

[Launchpad11B]

Packing!?!

And to think, DH Phillip was making fun of ME last night when I was just talking to him about our "packing plan."

I was explaining which suitcases we were going to use, how we were going to get stuff from our Owner's Locker and pack that once we got there, etc. He just rolled his eyes and said, "I'll bet those guys who were posting about guns on your thread aren't already talking about packing. You're nuts. I'm going to stick with them."

Tell Phillip the first beer is on me!

Then I guess you wouldn't be able to watch the 8 minute video they made me watch during the consultation on exactly how the procedure is done.
I could have done without that - I know they will be slicing my eyeball with a laser, thank you....

Hi Michelle - I can't believe you have to do it again!!! I wish I could only pay $20 - that's not going to happen!! They guarantee 20/20 vision or better or I get my money back.

 

[maiziezoe]

Woot!



:YAWN: Baby was awake from 2-4am, ugh.

My little one was awake at that time too! Conspiracy!

Glad you got your priorities straight Todd!

Good morning everyone!
Anna I hope everything is ok with the weather. It looked pretty crazy on the news this morning.

It should be a crazy weekend. DD turns 9 and 9 of her friends are going to see Monsters vs. Aliens tomorrow night. Tonight our extended family is coming over and tomorrow night is the movie with a sleep over. I maybe a little insane when I post.

Happy Birthday to your DD!! I want to see Monsters vs Aliens. Maybe I will take the bigger kids today (12 and 4). Have a great weekend!

Good Morning! Hope you all are have a great Friday. They are calling for some snow here this weekend. Our weather guy actually said big wet hamster sized snowflakes. Have to admit I am curious about hamster flakes LOL.

I finished my sister's FE. I will post pics on that thread tonight. Can't do it from work.

Becky

If you get wet hamster size flakes, take pictures. I am curious too! We are supposed to get snow as well this weekend. 4 lousy inches. Blech!

I am having the internal packing debate. Which suitcase, which carry on, am I bringing the computer, if I take bag A, can I fit the camera case in it with a few clothes and the lap top etc. Then there is the actual things to pack. Will this fit by then, how hot will it be, should I just bring my favorite Disney shirts and podcast shirts for day time and the parks, do I really NEED to bring so many shoes. I think I am going to drive myself crazy between now and then.

And since I didn't win the DL trip, I don't have to decide between than and the Dis-a-Palozza meet. I wouldn't have been able to do both. Thank you for making that so easy for me Corey and Pete.

Lainie Kazan is great! I remember when she was on 90210. She played Andreas grandmother... I think. Rose Zuckermann.

I remember having a huge crush on Randolf Mantooth when I was a kid. Was he on Emergency or Adam 12? I remember sitting on my pink bean bag chair and watching Randolf. *sigh*



CONGRATS STACY!!!

Silly, of course we're happy for you! I'm glad it's someone we know than someone we don't. It was a little harder to be a loser of 1 out of 15 than rather 1 out of a bazillion or so.
