All right,,,,,,,,, I'll get you back to post yet. How about this?
A Johnny Carson nursery rhyme................................
Sing a song of six pence, a pocket full of rye.
four and twenty Black birds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing,
So I popped em in the microwave and waited for the ding.

And now ,,,, the banana splits power hour.

Kerrie Indiana, Kerrie Indiana, Kerrie Indiana, not Louisiana(to the tune of Gary Indiana).. Where is your Husband?? I am trying to get Angela to get on here. We are sitting at the office as I am typing right now. 10:30 pm now. Despite what the boards say. I am trying to remember what your post said,,,Duh!!!! Hey , I have been posting on the thread that we had going for the Disney cruise in 2005 when we went through the Panama Canal. May 14,2005 for two weeks on the Disney Magic.. Kerrie,,,,,,It was glorious!!!!!!!
We were in a mid ship category three suite. It had a 30 foot balcony and was two doors down from the Walt suite. Oh well. Oh blah dee, oh blah dah....etc.(to the tune) Lakers vs Nuggets is on also right now. I've got it streaming to my computer. It doesn't look like anyone else is coming. Maybe I can get Kristen to also join us here. Do your kids want to chit chat with Kristen? Maybe you too. Too much work for us here. Too tired. Billy was sick today. NOT H1N1. WHAT------ EVER!!!!! When I try to make the patients laugh, I will have them attempt a mental puzzle. Want to try? Fill in the blank-------- WH_TEVER To the tune of "Jeopardy" and for the difficult cerebral thinkers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,D_H I think I'm going to watch the 3D miley cyrus,, Hannah Montanna concert CD now
Bill

My husband is at work silly....as you should be. He is an electrician and is currently working (4) 10 hr shifts/week. I have him Friday-Sunday (unless I have to work). I work as a Registered Nurse in the Progressive Cardiac Care Unit.
So...I will send him the link to our cruise meets, but he only has time to play a word in our online Scrabble game...then he goes to bed. You will like him. He is just as goofy as you...well, maybe not THAT goofy....but goofy none the less.
I'm sure Karlie (12) would love to chat with Kirsten. She goes to a Christian School and they hammer her with homework, so she doesn't have a lot of free time...plus her computer is SLOW..so she uses mine and I don't want to give her another reason to use it.
Who won the game? I was watching while the Blazers were in the playoffs...but I downgraded to BASIC, BASIC cable after that...so I can't find the games. I guess I probably could find them on my computer huh? Who has time with 4 kids though? You will just have to keep me posted on who is winning. I hear Kobe is getting frustrated with being double and triple teamed. He is a brat and deserves whatever he gets..the only player I liked less than him was Miller the "flopper", cry baby. Lakers are no fun to watch without Shaq. If I could afford it I would have season tickets to the Blazer games. Hubby bartered for awesome tickets last year and we had SO much fun sitting in the 3rd row.
Do you have any pictures from your 2005 cruise? I plan to take lots of pictures on this cruise. We don't have long do we? Like 28 days. Woo hoo...I can't wait!!! What was your BEST memory from your previous cruises?

That is ironic to me that you picked that nursery rhyme to try to get me "back to post yet". When I was a kid I had a speech impediment. I couldn't say my "R's"....my mom said I talked like someone from Boston. So...I sang (in a Bostonian accent) Four and fourty black birds baked in a pie....

 

[looking2cruise]

BILL....HEY BILL!!! Oh, I see how you are....NOW you are going to work. Fine, then...there are better things I should be doing with my day too. Still dreaming of my very first DCL.....won't be long!!!!!

[looking2cruise]

This is our first cruise ever. We are very excited new to message boards to. Trying to figure out what "fe" is but we will be there. We have 5 in our party !!!

Bulldog...are you still around?

 

[3DAN]

This is fun playing here with you. Kristen and Billy are in Christian schools here in Indy. Billy is at home today from being worse sick. Finals are next week. Believe it or not, my best memory from all of the cruises is actually from the very first one. Seeing the ship for the first time is overwhelming. The excitement is so tremendous that you almost can't believe it. Plus, we had made friends on the boards here which we had never met. WOW!!!! They are still close to us and good friends. The most memorable moment, however, is the very minute you step onto the ship. They announce your named over the pa system and you enter into the main lobby where there are twenty or thirty officers in white uniforms lining the lobby in addition to a Disney character. They all start applauding where YOUR names are announced and where you are from. You are so stunned and overwhelmed as you walk in and they surround you. UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!!!! Someone then tells you what to do and where to eat. Kerrie,,,,, the moral to the story is that you go where ever you want and do whatever you want because the ship is there for you.
If you want and your family is comfortable, we can meet in the terminal or even have lunch together as families. Your call. Usually , the disboards people have a Dis meet on deck 10 , starboard side where everybody meets and says hello. You wander around the ship GAGA!!! CAn't believe that you are actually there. The sail away party is a must . I think it starts around 4pm. We leave port at 5pm. You have got to be near a rail when that happens . They do a countdown and then at zero, they blow the mickey horn.
(when you wish upon a star) but a million dicibels. I bet you can find the horn if you search on disboards.
Angela and I are both internal medicine doctors here. Ann, my sister , is a retired RN. She used to be with VA.
I am getting fired up about the cruise as we get closer.. Nothing beats it. I'm at the office now. Spend most of our time there.

[looking2cruise]

Bill...Did you hear? The voice of Mickey died today. Something I just heard on the news while I am writing this.
The way you describe the experience of boarding the ship....sounds pretty cool. I had heard that they announce your name...never heard about the guys in white though.
I have a lot of respect for Internal Medicine doctors. Seems like you have to know a lot about "the whole picture" of the patient. I deal mostly with cardiologists...they are great..just frustrating if you need their help with anything non-cardiac related.
I guess our cruise ship will be set with at least two Internal Medicine docs and one Cardiac RN. We should probably keep that on the down-low : )
Hey Bill...check your inbox...I PM'd you about your username.
We are staying in the Country Inn and Suites close to the port the night before the cruise. What time should we attempt to board the ship? We would love to meet with you and your family. Good luck getting a word in with the distraction of our kids.
I sent Kirk the link to our meets...he thought it was cool, but like you and I was disappointed there weren't more people here. He read our posts and thinks you guys will get along well. He's a little techno challenged (sorry honey), so I will be surprised if he figures out how to sign up and post. He's back home tonight so I will try to remember to get him signed up.
Karlie is interested in getting to know Kristen before the cruise. What is your Kristen like? How about Billy? Karlie has always been more interested in interacting with adults. She is a little eccetnric..artsy fartsy type who loves do do crafts and read books. She is NOTHING like her father or I..I love her to death, she is sweet and caring most of the time..but the hormones are starting to take over!!! She has had a weight problem for the past 6 years. We've had her tested for Cushings, Diabetes and Thyroid problems. All negative. Most recently she had a sleep study and found that she has sleep apnea...appointment scheduled with ENT in a few weeks. Will probably earn herself a Tonsillectomy. Kassie is our 8 year old. She is fiesty, athletic and we don't worry too much about her. She will most likely meet a friend on the first day and we will have a hard time pulling her out of the clubs. Kole is a little dork...just like his daddy. He is my favorite...oops parents aren't supposed to say that huh? He is happy go lucky and not as whiney as all my girls. Kenzie...the 2 year old is two. That pretty much sums it up. The other day my sweet neighbor with severe cardiomyopathy rang my doorbell..I opened the door to find a 65+ year old man with a naked 2 year old in his arms...short of breath and asking "did you lose something"? If she weren't our last...she would be!!! She is a handful to say the least. Sure you want to meet with us for lunch? LOL.
Do you have other Doctors in your office that take over for you two while you are on vacation or does the office shut down?
Have you always lived in Indiana? Do you like it there? I think Vancouver, Washington is one of the most beautiful places to live...but I SOOOO miss the sunshine of California. What's the weather like there?
See...now you got me started!

 

[Dagny]

Count me in!

I am cruising with my 9 year old son, Zachary This is my 6th Disney cruise. I went on the 4 day cruise May 10th and couldn't resist the opportunity to go again next month (hehe). Would love to meet you all - let me know if you guys have something formal set up!

Are you all doing an FE exchange?

 

[3DAN]

Hey Dagny,,,,,,,, Thank goodness you are here with us. I have been on 8 Disney cruises with this one. Dumb question,,,,,,,,, FE exchange??????? What is that? I just don't remember unless I am just not associating at the moment. Don't you think we should probably plan on having the Dis meet on Deck 10 starboard around 4pm? Looks like it will just be us three families ----- We should get special commendations from the captain. Have you ever blown the Disney horn???? Mammaw , who is 103 now, got to push the button on the bridge for her 100th birthday cruise. We also took her on a four followed by a three day cruise last June for her 102nd birthday. Everybody that has been around a while at DCL knows about Mammaw. We had Captain Thord and cruise director Rachel. They were also with us on the 14 day cruise through the Panama canal May 14, 2005. Our server on that cruise was Sylvester. We had Edward as our server last year when we went to cruise the Magic in the Pacific.
Oh Oh,,,,,,,,, I am sensing a trend in the force,,,,,,,,,, Deja Vu

Bill
inbox has some room now,,,,,, Where are you , Kerrie??????????
Come out, Come out , whereever you are.

Hello Dagny! Nice to meet you. So far it is just me and Bill who post here frequently. Bill must finally have gotten to work...because I haven't heard from him in over 24 hrs. (j/k Bill) I haven't heard back from bulldog. I am up for a FE exchange. Hopefully we will get more people interested.
How was your May 10th cruise? Want details!

Kerrie,,,, Kristen wants you to ask Karlie 1) Does she like Twilight,,, 2) Does she read alot,,,and 3) what type of music does she like????? Kristen doesn't remember her sign on here and will likely need a new one.
Bill

1. I have heard her talk about it. Is the movie out right now? Did you know the school in the movie was taped in Kalama, Wa? We have property there!!

2. Did you not read my last post? She is at the library right now!

3. She likes Taylor Swift, Pink, ALL kinds of music. In fact, she is in choir and NEVER stops singing. It is quite annoying actually.

Yeah Kristen! Can't wait to meet you.

 

[.:~*KMA*~:.]

This is Kristen! I had to reset my password but no worries. I don't think I'll be on too much, i'm not the "thread" type. Sorry. But I would like to know more about her. I am sorry though if i do not spend too much time with her on this cruise because i was planning on spending time alone on the cruise. I decided this because on the last cruise i was upset with myself because i went out on deck one of the last nights and was so content with the calm dark, i told myself i wouldnt miss out again . TTYL

Wow! She sounds a lot like me. But I'm more into the Metro Station/ The Maine music, upbeat and all that. I love reading! I actually have like 8 books right now that i HAVE to read. Including the Host by stephenie Meyer. I can't believe you live in washington! I love overcast weather but my friends think im weird for that Twilight is amazing and i'll be glad to meet her!

Kristen...you sound like a girl after my own heart! It is good to have alone time and it is great that even at your age you can articulate that so well. Unfortunately, Karlie is just the opposite...she is a chatty chatster...drives me up a wall sometimes. She is harmless though and if you need your alone time..just tell her...she will respect that. Great to see you on here. Is your Dad always as goofy as he has been on this "thread"?

I'm glad im like you. I seem to be very mature for my age or so im told. I can get to talking though it mostly depends, but the majority of the time is preferably alone. My dad... hmm.... what to say. I know i can say this, "Once you meet him in person, you'll understand." Good luck with that! Do you have a facebook?

 

[3DAN]

Kerrie,,,, See if Kristen can't show Karlie around .. She will like it... Just depends on how nervous Karlie is. We are totally comfortable with the kids having the run of the ship. You will have to see what you think. Kristen,,, what is the name of the area on deck two that you hang out in ,,, where the simulator of the ship is... Ocean Quest? You have got to take Karlie down there. Isn't she old enough to be in that? Kerrie,,,,,,,, you have also got to make time to get some of the sandwiches up on deck 9. Just so you can say you did it. Hamburger, chicken, taco,,,, whatever. So many things to do. Only three days. It isn't enough time. Hey,,,,,, If you book another cruise on the ship, they give you a discount. Put down a deposit and plan for one in the future..l Don't forget that the Wonder,,,, this exact ship ,,,,, will be coming to the Pacific out of LA in the next two years. If you have a deposit down,,,,,, you get the discount. I think even if you transfer the reservation to a later date.

Yes, I do have a facebook account. I searched your name and sent a message to one...not sure it was you because it didn't say where they were from and there was no picture.

I will send you a PM with our names so you can search them on FB. Karlie doesn't get on her facebook very often because she is always slammed with homework. You know how it is at your age...plus she has been sick and has alot of homework to catch up on. She is in 6th grade until June 12th.

I get on facebook mostly to play Scrabble and keep in touch with all my friends from California. Sign your mom and dad up....I am always looking for more Scrabble players. : ) See you soon!!
