May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 6

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

Back from Church and just had some lovely fresh bread we made in the machine overnight. Yum! Church had a Mother's Day theme and I came home with some daffodills and a bookmark. We are just in the process of changing Church as we left our last one a month or so ago. This one is quite a bit different for us but it is feeling 'right'.

Going out for a cream tea this afternoon which is a 65th birthday celebration for a friend, then visiting our son and daughter in law for a cuppa tonight. Othrwise a quiet and peaceful day. The sun is shining but there is a very cold wind. Apparently it is going to SNOW overnight!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hey Woody, Awhile back you mentioned a new camera. What did you get?

 

[gydell]

Marilyn - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Are you a Mac user? If so, you can bring it into iMovie and make a movie of it, then send it to iDVD and burn it. John & PJ have probably already answered this and most likely know a better/easier way.

John said it couldn't be done, this sounds complicated to me but I appreciate the post. I just went ahead and ordered the DVD from History Channel.

Ok nobody has probably missed me but here is where I have been for the past 2 weeks or so - Strep throat has gone to everyone in my house - including me - and not at the same time. I have been the sickest and am just now getting back onto the computer really. I totally missed part 5 and now most of part 6 - I do not think I will ever get caught up!

Now a couple of things:

I will be updating the Who's doing what when spread sheet with the few that have come in over the past several weeks while I have been sick. If anyone else has their info to send - please PM me with it.

I got my info on fish team but just the first email - but not sure what now?

I will do some PM'ing about the Secret Mickey as I thought I signed up for that but never heard back anything further - any news on that part?

I will try to read and catch up - hope everyone has been better than us for the past 2 weeks!

Oh and I am so excited to be off the Champaign Girl waiting list!!!!

hello all my name is chris and I am going to be going on the westbound repo cruise with my husband bill, my 21 year old son robert, and my mom rose marie. it has always been a dream of my mom's to see the canal before she dies and when this oportunity arose, I grabbed at it. my mom lives in iowa but the rest of us live in tampa florida so getting to the port is easy. of course geting home is a bit tougher but we are really looking forward to it. feel free to send me a pm if you want to intorduce yourself to me. my son in on this board as well but he tends to lurk. well thats it for now.

No, it can be done, I've done it a few times and it's really not that complicated. In fact, I plan to burn those PC podcasts to DVD for myself.

If you ever want to try it, let me know and I can PM more complete directions.

Am I the first one up today (in North America)?

I am heading out soon to work. My second job, leading WW meeting. Three again this morning.

Friday night after work I had to attend a WW staff meeting. Nothing like being in a room with 60 WW employees. Many are part time like me, there are also lots that are full time.

I have to weigh-in at every staff meeting. Actually I have to weigh-in once a month, having it done by another staff member and they sign it. I then have to send my weight slip to my boss who puts it on a report that goes to corporate.

They are having a bit weight loss push to help leaders get back to goal. I signed up for the 12 week contest. It's our territory against another for the biggest loss.

I now have to weigh-in every week for the next 12 weeks and send in my weight.

A little disconcerting because I am wearing business attire. Not the usual shorts and tee shirt like when I was getting to goal.

I wonder if anyone would mind if I stripped down and then weighed in?



.

I know that I weight-in in the exact same outfit every friday. I think some people wonder why I wear the same thing each friday.

Hey Woody, Awhile back you mentioned a new camera. What did you get?

I got the Olympus Stylus 790 SW recommended by eeyorelvr10 (Thanks Laura!). She posted that the camera was on clearance at Target for half price, $149 instead of $299.

The 790 is 7.1 megapixel, has 3x optical zoom, and is waterproof to 10 feet. Perfect for snorkeling at Castaway Cay.

Today's Ritz Camera ad has the replacement model, the 850, for $299. It is 8.0 megapixel.

Thanks! Oh and I forgot to say that my birthday was last Saturday - the day I got so sick and never really got out of bed at all. We had already planned on celebrating birthdays on the cruise because we will all be together (hubby will be in Iraq for everyone's birthday) so we have all selected dates that corespond with our birthdays while on the cruise to "celebrate" so I will still have a special day.

I still have not felt like ipening my gifts yet though.

Life throws curves - and as long as we are all better for this cruise.

Welcome to the newbies. Happy to have you aboard.

Happy Mothers Day to our UK friends.

Welcome! There's some info on page one of some events/activities is you want to join in. If you have any questions, ask away!

I know that I weight-in in the exact same outfit every friday. I think some people wonder why I wear the same thing each friday.

Yep, I always had a weigh-in ensemble too!

Well, I've done a mess of laundry, but still have that big old pile of paper shreding to do.....
