OK, I know quoting myself is a sign of insanity....but I AM SO HAPPY!! The stupid all day yucky gross terrible horrible meeting I had for the day tomorrow has been postponed because of our bad weather.....we all have to drive up to 150 miles to attend this meeting........

Lisa, this is GREAT news! Now you don't have to worry about driving so far in that mess! You'll be able to stay close to home and keep safe.

Lisa: Your post with "Baltimore" and "morning" in the same sentence made me think of Good Morning Baltimore from Hairspray. Good Morning Baltimore

Have a good trip.

Woody

Trip has since been canceled....Yea!!! My kids love Good Morning Baltimore and they go around signing the song all the TIME.....

I think Gretchen is going to try out for a part this summer in Hairspray...

 

[HollyTyler]

Nope - we'll deliver the packets to everyone on the roster automatically. You can choose to particpate or not. That will give you a chance to look at it and decide if you want to play.

AWESOME! Thanks a ton!

Hey all,

Just checking in really quickly. Work is killing me. I am part of the team bring the smart car to the US, and the work load for this project has been extreme, to say the least. I'm going to try to keep up here, but it will probably be intermittant at best.

Seaulater is correct - we are going to do a MouseAdventure on High Seas again. This will be the third installment (the original was on the first PC Westbound and then on the 11-night Southern Caribbean cruise in 2006).

I am going to tentatively say on the 20th - the day after Acapulco. Logistically, we will deliver the game packet to everyone's stateroom fish. From the time we do the deliveries, teams will have 24 hours to return their answer sheet to the designated location. This lets you do it at your own pace, and let you schedule it around other activities you might want to do.

The good news is that we keep this version a easier than our main game. After all, you are on vacation! Although, there will be six of the creative team from the main game on-board, helping us write it.

I am so excited about this. Since a Mouse adventure is like a scavanger hunt but better does everyone still want to the scavanger hunt or not? It doesn't matter to me I will still do it if we want but if not thats cool too.

Haven't been to my local Target yet, but a deal website is reporting that Target has the green Olympus SW790 on clearance for $149.99. This is the point and shoot that is waterproof to 10ft.

I will be checking a few Targets tonight. I wasn't in the market for a new camera but I like the under water feature. Right now I just use disposables when snorkeling.

Don't know if anyone is looking for a small, good point and shoot but this was posted on another thread. I have both this camera and the 770SW. The major difference between the two cameras is that the 770 does underwater shots up to 33 ft and the 790 does up to 10 ft.

The important part of this camera is that if any of you are like me - I tend to drop things or else anything electronic tends stop working for me - the 770/790SW has a feature that makes it shockproof from 5ft. I am just under 5'4" so if it falls from my neck down - it is covered. I've taken some shots with this camera and the 770SW if anyone is interested in seeing what it can do. For the price is is a great camera. It does use XD cards as compared to an SD card but that is nothing major.

The reason for markdowns? Olympus is coming out with newer versions come March - those cameras the 840SW and the 1030SW will be 10 megapixels and shockproof from 6 ft. The will retail around $400.

These cameras about 1 month ago were retailing for about $269-$300. Just saw the 770SW at Sam's club today for $269.99 - as is! So if your in the market - and don't mind a later model - this might be a great little camera for ya! Cheap too. BTW, these models are 7.1 megapixels.

Never mind think I will enclose a shot of my youngest - this is April at Seal Beach in California - last Friday. It was shot about 4:30 pm on Snow/Beach mode. It is relatively easy to change modes -just a flip of a dial. It was shot with the 790SW.

If anyone has any questions, just let me know would be happy to answer them if I can. I've had the best luck with Olympus on point and shoots.

BOTH! The kids will get more out of the scavenger hunt I think as it might be easier for them. The other sounds more adult.

 

[eeyorelvr10]

So sorry.

Jan

Thank you Jan - its to realize that the loss is still felt even after 2 years (almost). It hit harder though because I forgot to mention that she was only 40!

So everyone - make sure you take care of yourself and don't put yourself on the back burner. Its amazing what a big hole you will leave in this life - and not just on your immediate family - but your extended family too! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take care of yourself. Now off everyone goes - make sure your up-to-date on shots, mammograms (after all -we must take care of the girls) and other routine check-ups!

OK off my soapbox - off I go to catch up on 50 pages!

Sorry for any groundhog moments later this evening - here's some to take the frustration out.

I just can't decide. The kids say they want to stay. DH thinks after being gone 16 nights we'll be ready to come home. I could get us on a 8:30 pm flight out on Monday and my oldest could go to school Tues tired, the little ones could sleep late. There is no magical morning on Monday, HoJos is only $70, which makes me think a DLR is not worth the extra. We could check out DD on Sunday, I need to go check to see if there are fireworks.

As a person who was away for 32 days last year and had never been away for more than 8 days, he may be crying when he gets off the ship.

I want to come over and see it... I've been to your shop to see your wife and am very interested in this car.

I'm very excited about this, I went on the website, but couldn't find any info.

I read in the paper that Lillian Vernon is filing for bankruptcy.

Guess I won't order the purse I just earmarked.

These are the ones that I've read... pretty good, I thought of course...no Jane Austen...

Watching being jane austen now.

I saw the "Being Jane Austen" when it was shown on PBS (week prior to P & P). Quite interesting - didn't know much about her life.I can watch P & P over, and over, and over again

Many thanks to those of you who directed me to the cruise meet! This is our fifth cruise with Disney! first time through the canal! Will be travelling with DH, DS (12), and DD (10)

Welcome

what do I need to do to get up to speed with Lost?

Most of the websites offer the entire episodes online now to watch, just like TV.

I'm hanging out at the pool at the GC... maybe cruising the parks just to get the lay of the land but I'm not there to kill myself to see it all - will be there until Friday...

Go early in the morning to the parks and later at night - it's pleasant at both times.

You want some of my snow??? We're getting more tomorrow... I could send you some...

nonononononononononono... and can I say No thank you. ...

I find that hard to believe Kaylee (that they were scary sights on you)!! I need to get some new suits but unlike you I DO NOT do bikinis (talk about scary sights)....my speed is more the Miraclesuit that makes you look 10 lbs less.

Now THAT is something I would go shopping for!! Where do we find them?

[disneylover5]

I've been cruisin the net and guess who I think is over on mouse planet.

Gossipgirl, only this one is AnnaAnderson.

Who are these poeple and why does it matter?

DITTO!

 

[disneylover5]

Is she still asking for pictures?!

Okay, now I really want to know who these people are????

 

[woody73]

Since we never linked or booked excursions before this cruise...has this always been an issue or did our repo cruise just tax their system so much they are changing policies?

we've been linked before and never had a problem.

We've been linked before and never had a problem either.

I read in the paper that Lillian Vernon is filing for bankruptcy.
