Has anyone ever stayed at Coronado Springs? I am thinking of staying there when Vanessa's sister comes from Norway next month?

[nskjerven]

I won't be able to catch up on this thread......I am just jumping back in!!

oh come on Lisa. Feel the pressure to keep up Do you have a real life getting in the way of the DIS????

 

[tink1963]

Junior Mints and chocolate covered raisins. Yummmmm

two of my favorites.

 

[HollyTyler]

Was it supposed to tie in with a unit on the Civil War?

Jan

Well, I don't think we learned about that until middle school, but can't remember 25 years ago, so it's very possible. Either way, it sure put me to sleep!

 

[GatorFamily]

oh come on Lisa. Feel the pressure to keep up Do you have a real life getting in the way of the DIS????

so true ...so true

 

[nskjerven]

OK, I'm just cruising through, trying to get caught up, trying to not feel guilty about not posting about things, photos, and people I would like to comment on . . . then I see THIS!

What would a "not strange place be"?

Did you just try to tell us that you were minding your own business????

Not buying it John.

Offer to help the poor woman, she needs some bedazzling...

 

[GatorFamily]

I can't wait until the Disney cruise.
Good night, Ben.

(From my DS10 who should be in bed now)

How cute Goodnight Ben

 

[nskjerven]

we did & we did. I'll work on the pictures after I get caught up page 17 now...stop talking for a bit and let me catch up!

You have not been listening to me. Now Be QUIET I have to finish reading....

 

[kimerinc]

so, I am the new owner of a Gorgeous, Gator Blue Dodge Durango......20in wheels....pimp'ed out.....wood grain, sweet!!!
I got a good deal, but it's still a lot of money! Especially from $0 payment!

Ok, so you have to tell me, what exactly does "pimped" out mean in Florida? Here it means it has snow tires and a ski rack.

 

[Tink rules]

Ok, the truck is still there and my sister is here in Sarasota and taking me back to Polk county this afternoon. You almost need a passport to go back there! Wish me luck that I get a great car and a great deal!

Pixie dust all around V!!!

Still GTY.

Even though I know 30 days will be the magic time, I can't resist checking.

One day, one day.

I'm still in the lifeboat... Just wish they'd assign me a LIFEBOAT NUMBER!!!

You're right Marilyn. One good thing to work on at a time. At least I have the new dresses to look forward to wearing on another cruise and it's incentive to stick with it and not give up.

The legs are not good. Very swollen, the edema is out of contol. That's additional weight gain because they're filled with fluid. I'm waiting for the boot to come.....that will get the edema under control. The wound won't go away until the edema is under control. But I have enough time to work on them before trip and get them good to go.

So... can you put the boot anywhere else and lose some of the extra fluid??? I guess trying to get that sucker around your waist might be a bit too much???

We have a small group already forming for this. Once we get a little closer I'll try and organize a date, time and place for it. I'm going to enlist some help from some of the people I have met while doing the geocaching for ideas as to what to talk about and how the best way to do something like this is.

I'll try and get some geocoins and I'll have some travel bugs with me for sure. Of course my GPSr, my PDA and I'll have my laptop with some stuff on it too.

If anyone else wants to join our group to learn some basics about geocaching just let me know (PM is probably best so I don't miss you as this thread goes pretty fast).

You might want to let PJ know so she can put this on the site and also Linda (seaulater) she is doing the mini navigator...

We have to get our truck fixed and then I need to order new glasses. I still have not found mine. I give up. I know they're in the house but I have no idea where. It was dark in here when they disappeared.

Did you try talking to St. Anthony??? Tony and I are on a first name basis... he finds my keys for me almost EVERY morning!!!

We're not bothering with dressing special for Mexican night. We are dressing for Tropical and Pirate nights only. I didn't want to buy something I know we would only wear once.
Edited to Add: I forgot to mention we have matching Disney torpical outfits too! DH has agreed to wear matching clothes for one night only. LOL

Ok... so which Disney tropical one are you wearing so we don't clash...

For those who are doing the scrapbooking class with SEAULATER, you could get those autographs on the pages of the book, take photos with those friends, make a little note on each page of which photo you want to put in there and when the photos are printed, glue then over the note. Make your own CRUISEBOOK.

On our Sept cruise we got addresses and e-mails of our tablemates!

Jan

I'm also thinking that maybe I will get a few of the photo mats and bring them along with some sharpies and have my friends sign it and then put photos in when I get home!!!

OMG- What will V do? Ebay strike to start Monday!!!

EBay users plan to show their dismay with new fee and policy changes by staging a week-long boycott starting Monday, Fortune Small Business reported.

Sellers at Ebay have the biggest complaints, saying that the new rules will cost them more money by adding higher final-value fees. EBay also plans to reward top sellers with priority status in searches so that their names come up more frequently and higher up than low-volume sellers.

Another problem sellers have with the new policies is that the feedback system that many rely on to help them weed out bad buyers will be dismantled. This, they say, will make it easier for negligent bidders and scammers to cheat them, reported Fortune Small Business.

EBay spokesman Usher Lieberman said that they have good reasons for their fee and policy changes and that it was “still premature for us to speculate” about the effects of the proposed boycott.

I love ebay...what am I going to do

 

[nskjerven]

I have gotten really good at DISing on my Blackberry!!!

Then don't let me catch you telling us you are not catching up on your reading young lady

 

[Making_Memories]

Marr...that banana suit is calling your name....

Ummm I am not going to answer it!

 

[nskjerven]

See the quotes above your question for the answer.

AND, You may all know this but today I learned that if I click on the little blue arrow by the "name" of the person quoted, it takes me back to where it was quoted from.
DOUBLE BENEFIT:
1. Lets me find out what was going on when the quote was made
2. Gets me back to where I was when I made a reply to a quote

I also learned that F5 refreshes the webpage.

What a day, three things to learn in one day!
Jan

That is the holy grail of DISinformation, Jan

 

[JLSE50]

One more special message from DS10 for all you Ebay fans out there: This is a link to the Weird Al Yankovic song about Ebay that DS10 has been playing endlessly for the past few days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYokLWfqbaU This is just for you V!

Thanks Ben, that was great!

Ok I'll try to be quite, but hurry up with those pic. I can't wait to see all the fun you guys had. Glad the girls got along so well. Sound like they are fast friends.

10:45pm here...time for bed.....

By the way, Frank and I had a nice visit with his brother this weekend. We only stayed about 2 hours....His surgery is tomorrow at noon....

I'll be thinking of Frank's brother during his surgery tomorrow and will look forward to your report that all went well. I'm glad the visit this weekend went well.

 

[GatorFamily]

pics tomorrow...it was raining tonight....but I had the third row seat up and John's VERY FIRST COMMENT WAS.....oh, we need more babies V! OH NO!

Not necessary...when the girls are in school trust me those seats will be filled with their friends as you taxi them around It comes in handy for sure
