Good Night-ly

Good night-ly to you, Andrew -- and try NOT to post in your sleep . . .

 

[bellelinus]

Hi Everyone! My name is Pam and I have just signed up to go on this cruise. I will be traveling with Laura...eeyorelvr10. I am really excited and feel like there are tons of things to do to get ready now. If there is anything I need to know about, please let me know. I dont want to miss out on anything!

Cant wait to meet everyone!

Pam

Hi Pam - any friend of Laura's is a friend of mine!!!!

 

[bellelinus]

Ok...Laura has informed me that I am NOT going on this cruise! I am going on the WB TransAtlantic in August! I am so excited that I didnt realize that I was on the wrong thread!

Oh well.....It has been a hectic day and alot to look forward to. I hope you all have a great cruise....I know I will!

Pam

Well, Pam, we'll still be friends, as I'm on the westbound transatlantic, too! Too funny about posting on the wrong thread though . . .

 

[bellelinus]

Dan it was great

Glad you enjoyed the Producers -- who were the leads? I had the fortune and misfortune to see it with Broderick/Lane -- they were so great that when I went to see it again later with replacements I couldn't enjoy the show . . .

 

[bellelinus]

OK OK - I'm leaving - just had to get one more in.

And on that note - bye all -


wait - the phone's ringing.........




I'm getting a Verandah on the Repo back!
(For about $60 more)

Its nice having friends in high places!

OK all - catch you later.

How did you get that for $60???????????????????

 

[MrsG]

Its you and me in the fountains Maryann!!!! Rome will never be the same!!!!!!

Can I come? FLASHING THE POPE!
I LOVE IT!




Course I only qualify due to my perimenopause! So I may only 1/2 FLASH!

My hormones are not (yet) making me want to get in the freezer naked, but I'm sure when the time comes I'll be the first to jump in! And yes, I certainly do remember that conversation on the repo thread -- hard to forget it.

You can join us in the fountains!!!!!

(When we're not flashing the pope). OMG if anyone is lurking and reads this out of context, the paparrazzi might be waiting for us in Barcelona!

I just wanted to let you know that I got a call this afternoon from DCL saying that the Palermo excursion: Village of Cefalu and Marionette Show has been cancelled. I was able to book the half day Cefalu excursion, but just a heads up to anyone considering it or anyone who booked it but didn't get notified.

Sounds good. I'm going to order either badge holder #370 or #372. #372 is bigger than our key to the world key. The badge holder is going to be vertical, so maybe we should go with the 3x4" badge holder #372? Let me know what you think. Here is the link.

[Pixie Dust II]

I know we have a list for dinner on Friday night, but who all is interested in meeting for drinks at the Grand Marina before going to the fountain? We don't know yet what time we get in on Friday, but hoping for early so we can see some of Barcelona. We definately want to meet for drinks and go to the fountain show. Let me know!

Hello! Instead of sending out individual PMs, I thought that I would just let everyone know that the larger image of your GREAT DIS cruise logo is too tall according to the signature guidelines. I have seen a smaller image being used that is fine. Just as a reminder the guidelines include:

You may have up to 12 lines of text maximum in your signature inclusive of any code required to post your selected graphics. Your graphics may not exceed 550 pixels in width in total and or 200 pixels in height individually. You may have a total of 3 images in your signature, including tickers. Those images may total up to 50000 bytes.

We are diligently trying to get all signatures to comply as this will add to the efficiency of the boards.

Thanks everybody!!!

Thank you for letting us know.

Jeanne, I agree with Harole Ann. I think the bigger one might be better. The ones that "just fit" are sometimes hard to get the card in and out of. Because it's vertical, we don't have to worry about it slipping out.

Oh Yeah! Tip - they make wonderful gifts for your servers too! I usually make them up one for their places. Since they're quarters are so small - I usually get a portion of a postcard from where we visited and cut it to match or a photo of us and attach it to them. We've had a great response and even some requests for them whenever we bring them out.

What a great tip! That is such a nice thing to do.

but who will it be ?

Congratulations on the

another assist from Laura!

Always the assister never the winner

You do such good job

Well the hearing went really oddly. The panel have asked for some more information which I have had to get from Joshua's current headmistress and confirmation of his stutter. So I've been rushing around North London like a lunatic to get home to draft a letter from the headmistress and then go to his current school to catch the headmistress before she leave for home so that she can read the draft, approve it, print it out on school letter headed paper and then sign it just so I can fax it back to the hearing panel becuase they want it for tomorrow morning.

The representivtive who came with me and the headmistress have never heard of this happening before where the panel have asked for additional information during the hearing. Anyway I'll fax it off tomorrow and then we just wait. We'll probably hear by Friday week. So we've still got a week an a half of nail biting.

Hang in there.

Oh my word I've done over 100 and only since Friday !!!!!

You'll soon pass me, too.

I do not relish the thought of having to play ketchup after being gone for 24 hrs. You guys have been busy. But here's info for tags...

formerCPer—Brian Wall
DW—Angie Wall
DD—Megan Wall
DD—Madelynne Wall

Great new tag - I'll add it to my list.

Are both of them new? I don't think I noticed them before.
Didn't you have something else? Or am I confusing you with someone else?

According to my list - he was only a mouseketeer before. And now it reads "Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry."

 

[Aurora1959]

Should get a special for that!!!

We've already named you Admiral Andrew, what more do you want?

just kidding - we love you

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

I'm going to the theatre tonight - to see a production of "The Producers"
Its touring from the west end. I just know when im there I'll be thinking about the boards

Is that really sad?

Dave says there's no hope for me

Yikes, I know that feeling too well. Have a great time at the show!

Yea I've tried that before but it never works...I wonder why they've disabled it ?

It was disabled not too long after they implemented it -- too many people became concerned when they realized that everyone could tell when they were logged on or not.

Thanks for the reminder.

Oops, where's MaryJo. Which one of us is illegal. I changed my logo to a smaller size. Is it still too big?

You're

It appears on mine as smaller version now!!!

Andrew, yours still looks big to me (it's 18:17 California time). The height is 280 pixels, I think, and the limit is 200 pixels high.

After seeing Brian's small one I'm wondering if mine's too big now !!!

You're

I just wanted to let you know that I got a call this afternoon from DCL saying that the Palermo excursion: Village of Cefalu and Marionette Show has been cancelled. I was able to book the half day Cefalu excursion, but just a heads up to anyone considering it or anyone who booked it but didn't get notified.

Doesn't it kind of make you wonder if Disney did their usual background work before shore excursions were planned. We have been told on different shore excursions how throughly Disney checked out the vendors even down to their water supply. I just wonder how much time they had to really check things like they normally do with this being totally new territory for Disney?? We got a call several weeks ago to reschedule the time for our shore excursion in Marselle for the Historic Santons Figurines. We picked the afternoon tour and they changed it to the morning saying they were having only one tour. Time was of no consequence to us, but it does seem unusual to have so many changes already. I guess we will have to keep reading the trip reports to see how things are going and see if they have any changes to report. I think we have a wide variety of shore excursions in our group.
