I am frantically trying to cathc up before we lose this section too but I have to respnde to this coment -

When was the last time you tasted pee

HA HA HA! What I'd imagine it would taste like!

 

[JLSE50]

In Indianapolis (sp?) somewhere near you. I have no idea what lanes they will be at though???

Phoey.

I wish him well and perhaps meeting him now when he is coming off his illness and I am still in mine would not be wise.

How is your friend doing whose cancer has recurred? Would cards from strangers be a help to her?

Ok, I am back from the eye doctor and it is not my eye site causing my headaches. I now have to go to the ear, nose, and throat dr. and get a full check up and CAT scan. Eveything seems to be pointing towards migranes but it could be stess, or sinuses. I really don't want a CAT scan since they will have to knock me out to get it but they want to rule out something is wrong with my head. I am going to have my mom take me to my appointment hopefully next week.

HOpefully they will be able to help you... if it does turn out to be migraines... there are good meds that hopefully will help you.

& don't worry about a CAT scan... they are open unlike MRI's.... even I got claustophobic in the MRI...

Me too! Can't wait to give you a REAL hug!

You know I have a feeling there are going to be alot of lime green wearing people hugging and crying before and after the cruise when we all finally get to meet!!!

Give THE SISTERHOOD the general website and tell everyone how to give you the code numbers. Then you add it up, order it and let everyone know if you will collect money on delivery on the SHIP or need it up front.

THERE IS TIME to get some orders. Then when people come to get their orders, they can see some of the things others have ordered and again when they are worn on the ship so you may get even more orders.

Same goes for the Cookie Lee site, but I forget who represents that company.

This would be a way that members of the SISTERHOOD OF THIEVES can get souvenirs they WANT!

Jan

Sisterhood of Thieves... I like that!!!

ohmygosh, I grew up in Clear Lake, right across the street from the Space Center. we should have had a mini meet!

I'm over off of Clear Lake City Blvd... at the end... next to the cows...

What a wonderful daughter you are!

Tell the servers that you want a Birthday luncheon. They will help you arrange a place and provide the cake.

Ask Linda to post this in the THIEVES MINI NAVIGATOR and PJ to post it on the website.

Then, in addition to the people who are able to commit now, those who might want to be surprise-guests on the day of the event, will know where and when it will be or how to contact you to find out.

Jan

That's a great idea!!! Thanks!

Not sure if I'd get banned from the DIS for advertising!

Do it Very Very quietly......

I did have a message on the home phone from the 13th. With a call back number. I called this morning and was offered assistance with getting the reservations I want. I told her I don't want any, don't want any special treatment, but rather my goal was to get the website and/or booking procedure looked at so that it can be made better...hopefully by the time the East Bound cruisers are faced with the same issue (see we ARE looking out for you East Bounders!!). She thanked me for my input and said they know they have to make changes and will be doing so, but that it is a very short time until the East Bound cruise can book and she could not promise that it will be better by that time. It was a pleasant exchange and I did again thank her for all the things that DCL does RIGHT, including the CS CMs that dealt with all of us Monday morning.

Hey how about us 75 dayers????

Oh Lumiere's would be a lovely place for a birthday lunch! Bet your servers could arrange for the birthday cake to be there for lunch instead of at dinner.

I never thought about aranging something before hand... Great ideas!!! Oh and the drinks will be on me... so order big!!!!

after reading all the mom stories I'm even more grateful for the mom I got. She's wonderful, my best friend, never really judgemental, always supportive and strong. So for all you guys with insensitive moms.

My mom really is great... she's the one who held us all together after dear old dad left... we really are more friends as well... just like she was with her mom...

I had good role models...

 

[JLSE50]

We have said many times that we must have been related somewhere in another life. We became so close so fast without even meeting. When we met it was like we had known each other all our lives. The funny thing is, all my friends will tell you (including my DH) that I don't talk on the phone very long, except when I get on with Denise and then it can be hours. There is Magic in Disney and don't let anyone tell you any different.

This poem was sent to me by a special friend when DS#1 was born and reflects how I felt about her, my DH, my sons and a few other special friends. I have it in a bifold frame with some photos of my boys together when they were little.

WHAT MADE US FRIENDS IN THE LONG AGO
WHEN FIRST WE MET?
WELL, I THINK I KNOW;
THE BEST IN ME AND THE BEST IN YOU
HAILED EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY KNEW
THAT ALWAYS AND ALWAYS SINCE LIFE BEGAN
OUR BEING FRIENDS WAS PART OF GOD'S PLAN.

Does anybodies kids do Refections though the school PTA. It is a contest with a theme. You can write a story, take a picture, compose a song, or draw...(plus other things) and Gretchen wrote and sang a song and recorded it.

She won 1st place at the school level and Fairfax County and then she got 1st place in the district. Now she is competing for States.....pretty cool!! There was a ceremony today and she was embarrassed. She usually loves to be in the spotlight.

Way to go Gretchen! WOOHOO! Great job!

What was the song about?

 

[Tink rules]

Michelle - Here is another idea that might be fun....

Those who cannot join for lunch could still send a card - then you could dump the entire basket on the table at lunch - from the entire "couting fish club" . I'm game if you agree.

Love the idea... She's signed on as GrammyB even though she doesn't post... We're still in the lifeboat but I will be hanging a fish extender by our door!!!

That is a great idea. If she has a fish finder we could all put them in there also.

Yup... see above!!!

Sure - for my Mother's 80th we took her to WDW - (gee is that a surprise to this group?) and I mailed requests to all her friends to send a card to my house (and one to her if they normally did). This was in lieu of a party because she hates those. It also allowed all the relatives (they are in England) to participate. It was the first time I had more than 100% RSVP - as some folks told others. I then put all the cards into a scrapbook for her.

If we did this for your mom we'd have to post our screen name - or cabin number so she would know who we are.

I sent my sister a baby shower in a box when my nephew was born... everybody rsvp'd - it was great... many people have stolen my idea...

Anyone who wants Birthday cards for kiddos or Seniors could share that info with Linda SEAULATER for the THIEVES MINI NAVIGATOR. Then other Thieves could drop the card off at the Fish Extender or the suggested location.

Jan

I can see it now... Grammy B... Lifeboat # .....

I can definitely vouch for that!

I wasn't planning on getting out of my pajamas today, but just realized I have a couple errands that need to be addressed today. So.....off I go for a bit. I suppose the fresh air will do me good, instead of just looking at the sun through the windows.

But.....John1? Do you ever watch "According to Jim" on ABC? I just finished watching the funniest episode ever! His wife is away and he has to deal with an issue with his daughters. It's the most recent episode. If you have a chance, I strongly recommend it! You'll see what's in store for you in a couple years!

Amy watches this show all the time. I am not a big fan of sitcoms. There were a few I used to like a while ago, but not much now. Every once in awhile I used to watch "Raymond". Most of what I watch on TV these days is sports, and with Amy gone, about all that has been on the TV is the Disney Channel.

And besides, why do I need to stress about that now? It will be bad enough when it happens - Sophia is already a drama Queen.

Here is my drive by post.....

I'm off to the airport at 6am tomorrow (ugh) for my flight to MD...won't be back until Monday. Won't have a chance to check in at all this weekend....so even though it's useless, please don't post hundreds of pages (or make the new thread easy to find )

Have a good weekend

I do not think I want the answer to this. Holly, please restrain.

 

[Jhalkias]

Both were spending time on another board, when we originally booked this cruise. I can't recall the name, or I would pop over and check, sorry.

PJ, pretty sure that board is gone now.

 

[Jhalkias]

Sounds like fun! I'd be interested in checking out a demo!

Ian . . . been a while since I talked to you about Mouse Manager . . . does it run on Windoze? I think Lisa is a Windoze user.

So good news tonight....
My friend I had mentioned earlier, got her CT results today. It's a 7mm spot that is too hard to tell if it's cancer. So her doc says they'll repeat the scan in 6 weeks and see if it's grown. 1 organ down 1 to go. She has her kidney ultrasound on tuesday. We aret taking this as good news. There's really nothing they can do as the lung is such a sensitive organ. Can't really biopsy it, the risk of other damage is not worth it. Thanks for the prayers it seems they were working! Lets keep up those good thoughts for her kidney and hopefully it'll show nothing too.

NO, it was hilarious! The funniest show I've seen in a long time! OK....well, Amy would have loved it.

 

[Jhalkias]

Amy and Sophia have these really cool charm bracelets, John the name? Found it, http://www.pandoracharmbracelets.com/
Haven't seen them up here yet.

Pj

Pandora does not have Disney charms, but there is a kind of knock-off company that makes ones that fit the same bracelets that are Disney. Sophia got an Eyeore at World of Disney last trip.

http://www.dollsandducks.com/beads/disney_chamilia_beads.htm

They really love these Pandora bracelets, and it makes it easy on the men looking for gifts.

I do not think I want the answer to this. Holly, please restrain.

HEY NOW!

 

[Jhalkias]

We have over 2000 Disney pins

Some are displayed, but most are in binders that I will give the kids when they are all grown up......

Well, at least yours are out of the bag.

Every time I go to DTD, those people with the binders frighten me!

Also, on the inside cabin. Our first disney cruise we had an inside cabin. My first time w/o a balcony. I was dreading it, feeling claustrophobic and not knowing day from night. BUT It was so quiet and dark at night, it was wonderful. My daughter, who is an early riser, slept so soundly! I loved it. Now, I still woke up early, but I could leave her there to go get coffee for me and juice for her and come back, take a shower, get dressed and not have to listnen to a whiny child who just gets up and is gone. Heck I even watched tv some mornings and she slept right through. With the curtain closed. We had a sideways cabin which was great. I actually wanted to downgrade on this cruise so I could have a sideways cabin again, but as luck would have it, we have a SPH, so it's an upgrade. Hopefully you'll have fabulous results with your room too. And remember, you don't really spend that much time in your room.

We do spend a lot of time in our room when Tyler needs breaks from all the commotion and/or naps. But maybe this time he won't take naps. I don't know....he still needs naps now, so I can't imagine that will change in 3 months, but we'll just make the best of it. No sense worrying about it. I'll just do my best to take advantage of that time and get a nap myself!
