Actually, we won't have to change any names on the reservation(s) once we've made them. DCL doesn't care who shows up, they just need to know what stateroom to charge if no one shows up! When it comes time to 'pay' we can each just use our own KTTW cards to pay.

.....now I'm thinking...nap first...then do mail/pay bills....my eyes are getting veeeerrrrrrrrry tired....

DrHug and I were just talking about napping also!

Good point Jackie......that's exactly how we'll do it!!!

I'm pretty sure Noel faxed the brunch request in months ago. I'm going to try to reserve a brunch date tonight as well, just in case, it's good to have a back up.

For the tea, they told me that they do not use the private room for teas. They have a small group of 4 people max to a table. So we're all on our own but doing it at the same time to get the max number of our ladies possible, all on the same date.

Absolutely correct! Noel actually had several list of people interested. Since she could only send one request she divided up the names and had several of us fax requests. So, for brunch and dinner I know there are several requests in for group dining.

Yep, got a jeep, room for 2 more, but no confirmation. Making me nervous!

It comes on tape? I ordered in the paperback edition and it is the same size as the hardcover, . I am about a 1/3 of the way through the book now.

Pj

Sure does. It made it so easy. Edward Herrmann reads the book, pleasant voice.

The real ones, in your picture, not the fake UK m&m knock offs.

I'm a Smartie Queen as well.

I think we have the country covered...

Michelle East Coast Smartie Queen

Holly Mid-West Smartie Queen

Nan West Coast Smartie Queen

We are on the cruise having a meet, kinda like the party of nine...(POC III) (pieces of eight) we are the party of three, Smarties Party of Three I feel a t-shirt coming on....

Hey hey hey now. I have to object. "Knockoffs" my foot.

M & M's are the knock offs as the UK (and Canadian) Smarties were developed first. Smarties were developed in 1937 by Rowntree. M & M's were first sold in 1941.

A few facts:

M&M's are approximately 1 cm in size.
Smarties are 1.5cm

M&M's are slightly fatter than Smarties

Smarties have a candy shell that have a flavour, whereas M&M's do not have a flavour to them.

And let's not forget the great Smartie jingle:
"When you eat your Smarties, Do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly, Or crunch them very fast? Eat that candy-coated chocolate,But tell me when I ask, When you eat your Smarties, Do you eat the red ones last?"

 

[nskjerven]

Hey, hold on a minute! From a quick research online, it looks as if M&M's were introduced in 1941.

Smarties were first produced in the UK in 1937.

So, please, no more dissing our Smarties!

Ok my bad. Lisa don't know how you post on the bb its hard

 

[Jhalkias]

No Eastcoasters up yet? I'm lonely here!!!

I was up Marilyn, but too busy to DIS.

BTW, Amy arrived in Manilla safe and sound, but says she did not sleep the whole way over, and is a bit stressed. I told her she needs to get some sleep. We also found out that she was wrong about the time difference - 14 hours instead of 12.

But our Smarties don't have a candy shell at all, tasteless or otherwise. So, which came first the Smartie or the Smartie?

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

That would be the 2nd one, your "Rockets". I never even knew about the other kind until this group enlightened me a while ago.


HORRIBLE internet connection today, so I doubt I'll be able to post more. Couldn't even connect all day! So if I disappear, you'll know why.

That could get really confusing in my household.

My wife loves "Rockets" (US Smarties) whereas my girls and I love our "Smarties".

Guess we are all just smartie lovers then!!

 

[HollyTyler]

So my internet connectin is back temporarily. NOt sure how long it will last. I think the problem seems to happen when things freeze outside and we had a slight melt today, but now temps have dropped below freezing, so that's probably what's up. Never had this problem with cable internet, just since I switched to AT&t. Oh well.

I got a call from Tyler's dad on my way to pick him up telling me they're not there. He told me Tyler's had a temp of 104 since yesterday and has a horrible sounding cough. They couldn't get his fever down, no matter what they tried, so they called the doc and the doc said to take him to urgent care. They tested for strep and ear infections and those were negative. He's been there for over 5 hours and his dad is ticked off at how long it's taking. Anyway, I guess Tyler's pretty limp and exhausted and feeling miserable. Poor kid. My kid who NEVER gets sick! So I quick ran up to the store for Tylenol & Motrin and Pedialyte and popsicles. Not sure what to buy since we never have need to use that stuff.

 

[MrsMork]

I went on DCL and puttered around in our reservation, just to be sure I could get in there and that it showed us able to book tonight. It's ALL GOOD!

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

I saw Easter candy last week because I almost bought some Reeces peanut butter eggs!

Holly you need to meet my wife.

You both like "Rockets/Smarties".
You both like Reese's Peanut butter eggs.

The two of you would be dangerous in a candy store!!

 

[Jhalkias]
