Yes, Thanks Mary Jo. They are great!

So - i had my friend who is an art major play with the quotes. What we decided was to take the image of mickey and center it, then wrap all the quotes around it. We have two ideas, either make them swirl around the circle, or just plain back and forth. The standard back and forth is easy. the swirl is hard to read, but looks cool. I need to set a deadline, perhaps first week of July. And then those will be the taglines I go with. With all the new tags, I am updating the list daily.

Also - Pirate or Mickey shape between each person? I thought about doing a multi pirate based on how many pirates you have gotten, but then I think Helen would have a whole line of just Pirates, then her name. /QUOTE]

Thanks for doing this. Whatever you decide I'm sure will look fine. Can't wait to see the final product. I envy your talent!!!!!

Carrie (sorry ) - I'm wondering, when you quote somebody - do you delete or edit any portions of the post? If you are - I probably know what your doing as I have done it in the past. If your quoting somebody and then you go back and either edit or highlight portions for deleting, if you go in a hurry - you're probably also catching the first or last " [ " or " ] ". I have done that in the past and it messes up the quote. If you check the quote above - the end right after the sunglass icon? You will see " /QUOTE] - there should be a beginning [. Sometimes when I edit from the beginning I also catch the end ]. Try editing your post above - as I can't edit and try inserting a " [ " just to see if it'll work. Wait let me try something:

YES!!! - its works - see - I just inserted the beginning [ and it 'sealed' it I guess. try that next time. You can always edit. I have found that when I am in a hurry - and I'm highlighting to edit - I often take one of the [ or ] with the deleting. I sometimes resort to inserting a space between the last character/punctuation/etc and the [ ] and then highlighting what I want to edit. This has helped me in the past. Try it!

A little late, but before saying good night - I had a very busy day.

A little background, my oldest son had applied for a f/t job/position where my brother works and it was perfect timing - tuition not due for about 2 months which left some time for being called. Once before the opportunity came but I had just paid the semester.

He rec'd a call on Wed. to come in for an interview on Thursday. Today, Friday, he got the call to go in Monday for his paper work to be processed (id, bc, college transcript, etc.). They will probably send him the same day or the next day, Tuesday, for drug/urine test. Not sure when they do physical. They immeditately go into a 5 week training period/certification courses. 160 people applied for 10/12 positiions. Of course we knew, if he got called - he would not be able to cruise with us (I think mainly because of the training progress and these positions don't open up often).

I have been on the phone most of the day with my ds (who got the call while at his p/t job, my brother, DCL, DVC and Continental to see what my/our options are. We were even considering bringing my niece (only because my brother brought it up). I don't think this will be possible for various reasons.

I will wait til Wed., Thursday the latest and will then probably cancel his reservation and will have to rearrange my family in the two cabins. I really wish he could do both - but this opportunity might not come for another year again and it might not come at a good time either.

College has been and is a priority - but at the rate he is going, he will never finish. The plan is to try to take a class in the evening (even if he has to skip a semester until he knows what shift/hours he will have). We did not spend a ton of money and spent four years in college without trying to go the distance.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned.

Well, good luck to your ds. What a shame he cannot make it on the cruise, but you're right about catching opportunities when they come up.
