From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 4

Can someone please tell me how to find a seller on ebay? Someone suggested trying ebay seller woodworknick for the custom bracelets but I cant seem to find him on there?

I will see if I can find him and get back to you!

 

[izma]

Found the seller but he has no items fr sale on ebay at this time. Looks like he is not doing them anymore.

Sorry I was not more helpful!

Maybe I'm just missing this......If someone would like to explain to me how to go about it, I would be willing to give it a shot.

On the '05 & '08 PC cruises our dining was linked with other DIS board members for the same dining room rotation. I thought it was a lot of fun being in the room with group that I got to know from the internet. I'm NOT looking to have huge tables, just being seated in the same area.

On the front page I see there is one being organized for main dining already, but I do not see one for late dining.

I have linked ours before, you just need to call DCL and give names, cabins and reservation numbers. And, for anyone that has not done this before - we will all see each other on our reservations once it is completed.

I will happily send you a PM with our info. Thanks for doing this.

PUNTARENAS, COSTA RICA TOURS UPDATE

SPACE STILL AVAILABLE Ride in an air-conditioned spacious vehicle, being driven by an experienced driver, to Costa Rica’s most popular national park, Manuel Antonio, where our private nature guide will give us a narrative of the geologic features, national history, local botany, as well as exotic tropical birds, monkeys and sloths we will see.

Just saying hi. I have been gone because I have been trying to reaclamate myself to work and such after being gone 25 days. The stupid world series did not help. Thank goodness for the Lakers. Anyway I was also stressing that I would not get one of the two weeks I needed of vacation to take this cruise. Well I got both weeks. So that is a little off my chest.

Glad you're back and got your two weeks. People have been concerned by your absence!

Thank you for your concern. I get back and just a lot of change going on at work. That is one reason I stressed about the vacation time. Just so much going in hard to post and keep up but I will try not to be such a stranger.

 

[izma]

Yes Alan, you have been missed. Glad to see you back!

Glad you got your vacation sorted. That would have been a major problem otherwise.

I have a new FE gift! It's a magnet!

I am very excited (again!) so I hope it comes out okay...

very cool

LOVE this Des. Awesome job. Sorry about the candies - they were cute but this I will have forever.

Woke up to snow this morning. Not much but kind of slippery on the way into the office.

I forgot to share our 'excitement'. DH was grilling chops for dinner (we are the grilling type all year round) Wednesday night, both dogs were out with him and they took off to the cornor barking into the woods. DH looks and there is a bear out there. It is not the first one he has seen going by - we have even had them inside the fence as they bent the heck out of my shepards hooks and took my bird feeders. We found the feeders destroyed in the woods. Hopefully they will all go to sleep soon and I don't have to think about them until spring!

Have a great day all!!

CHECK THIS OUT! (I hope they are right!)

According to this the Dream will be staying in port from 1/4-1/7. So, we should get to see it in PC and AFTER (hopefully) CC for a great photo op!



Can you tell I'm excited about this.

That would be fab, our head server who is going to the dream on the ta sadi this would NOT happen for sure, I sure hope he is wrong, maybe the truth is nobody really knows.

Okay, it's football Friday and the weather is so mixed up--one minute sun, then rain & snow predicted for tonight and it is sooo cold!Too bad I can't have a little liquid refreshment to keep me warm at the game, but I do have a really warm coat that Garry bought for me that I said I could only wear at the North Pole! Well, here it goes tonight!

It is going to be a tough game, but we are in the playoffs for sure this just ends the regular season.

Have a great evening everyone. I am off to pick up Nathan's girlfriend who goes with me to all of the games.

SO glad you are back and got your time all squared around. That is so unsettling - our Christmas trip was like that for a long time but it is finally all worked out as well.

You stay warm - no time to sit in the cold and get sick. I have one of those North Pole coats too - I can't even drive with it on. So keep your head, hands and feet warm too and you should be fine. And sorry to say, I think you have more of the same weather on the way - I can look out and the sun is shining and the next is is snowing hard and then the sun is out again. Stay warm - and dry.

I have invoiced everyone who has sent me an email asking to have thier lanyards shipped so far. If I missed you - please send me another - I am sorry and yesterday's drama was to much

Please make sure you send your Dis ID in your email...some I can figure out and some I can not and want to make sure I am crediting the correct person.

You can also pay in advance and just pick them up at the port as well.

If you are waiting to pay at the port and pick it up - please make sure you have cash at the port - no checks...I don't want to worry about losing a check on the trip.

If you want your lanyards shipped - I would suggest by Thanksgiving so it doesn't get mixed up in the Holiday mail mess.

Thanks so much!

Hey everyone, Jeff and I took a little mini-vacation. We went out for dinner last night! It was a wine dinner at our favorite little bistro in Tampa. We were seated with another couple. Found out about half way through dinner that the gentleman was a retired two-star general. I stopped calling him Jim after that! What an amazing life he and his wife have lead!

Ok....I'll start with, "Yes, I am computer impaired!" (but DH can't figure this out either!)

Melissa put all of the t-shirt pictures together in post #1435. But we can't figure out the instructions. I'm using a MAC if that makes any difference. I went to VISTA, clicked on the 1st coupon, 50%, made an account, selected long sleeve shirt and couldn't go any farther. There are 3 choices for setting up your shirt....which one do you use?

I also don't understand the part ...
"The image is now on their files, 3TDZ4-DA412-3X1, so if you want to order it from them, you won't be charged the image upload fee (if there is a problem accessing it let me know and I can have you use my account password). val"

I entered that number into the search for an image and it came up with nothing.

Then I just poked buttons in frustration...that didn't help either!

Can someone please try and help me? I will not be insulted if you are VERY specific in your replies!

THANKS!!!
Barb
