May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 11

[Mom323]

Well I'm not taking pantyhose(tights over here). Magnets were done last weekend, though there may be another one to add now. I still have to do out fish extender, book transfers from DL to LAX, sort out fishmail gifts, shop, lost 28lbs.

28 LBS !!!!!!!!!

That is great!!!. Shopping should be fun. I've bought a few new shorts and a pair of espadrilles.

I plan on hitting a few shops WDW. The poly for tropical and Mexico at Epcot for the Mexican deck party.

I think 50 is when you get a letter from AARP. Sounds good to me.

Yep, I got my AARP letter at age 50. It was quite a shock!

 

[granmaz]

sooooo, you want we tweeners (50-55) to be the escorts to the geezers....kinda like that group of guys pictures...you know the ones with the white cuffs and collars.....

or

bring the rope with the knots and guide the geezers like on a kindergarten class roadtrip (unless they have walkers...then it's like the guy that picks up the carts at walmart)

If the white cuffs and collars fit then go with the first option!!!

 

[nanatink]

I like this idea! There are some tables outside Cove Cafe near the adult pool that would be a great gathering place for geezers. We will not be doing shots....been there, done that, don't enjoy the next day.

I'm for that too. Count me in.

 

[MrsMork]

We could toast the night with hot milk.

Who takes the picture from where?

Shutters apparently get off the ship at the canals and take pictures.

Question - we have friends who want us to give them the time and the webcam site - anyone else trying to coordinate the "waving" back home....if so, how?

I have given everyone the webcam but we really won't know times until the night before. I told everyone to be sure and check early. I will be bloging so I am going to try and give them the times the night before.

I am neighbors with both of you! 8578. But, I am on the wrong side for the webcam. Which is depressing because I wanted to make a sign saying happy birthday for my brother who is turning 29 on the day that we cross the PC. He was going to watch the webcam for it. Oh well, can't have everything.

Tammy

Tammy, I have decided on doing a sign anyway. Like my DH said we really aren't sure which side of the locks we will be going through this time and maybe both sides will have web cams. Or maybe one side will cover the Gatun locks and one side will cover the Miraflora. We can hope.

Good morning! Maybe we should have an 'old geezers' DIS meet.

Donna

Count us in!

Morning Marilyn,

So happy to hear you finally received a room.
We are in 6634, it is one of the CAt 6's that was changed to Cat 7. I think we would need a megaphone to hear each other. I think Carol is somewhere in the middle. Maybe she could be a relay.

Cork

We are in 6612 which puts us a little closer to you, Cork, than Marilyn. That's all right, though, we are on the same deck and side so we will find each other.

I am so intrigued by this. It's not top hats and canes. Hmmmmm
I must lead a very boring life.

Our vote is for capes and walking sticks.

Someplace quiet. And we will need to define geezers. I'm thinking over 55.

And we will need to have someone write down the meeting place and time for us since some of us geezers can't even seem to remember what stateroom we are in!

With everyone having similar magnets it might make it hard to figure out whose room is who's. Especially for those of us geezers who have poor eyes. It takes me at least two days to remember which way to turn when I come off the stairs or elevator and then I have to check room numbers.

Carol

OOPS, OOPS, OOPS!! I wish. My wish finger typed that word. It should have been LOSE 28lbs!

Even worse you go to a restaurant at 48 and they give you the discount.

 

[granmaz]

I always turn the wrong way when getting off the elevator/stairs too.

 

[MrsMork]

Old geezers in training!!

Not good, but saving the money is.

Who is going to hold THE LIST?

or

bring the rope with the knots and guide the geezers like on a kindergarten class roadtrip (unless they have walkers...then it's like the guy that picks up the carts at walmart)

I shouldn't admit this but after 13 DCL cruises I still get my directions twisted. I am always heading toward Topsider's when I want to go to Cove Cafe or Cove Cafe when I want to go to Topsider's.

I will still be 55 on this cruise. I don't turn 56 until June. Does that make me a geezer or an escort? Never mind...I think I answered that question in my previous paragraph.

That will work!

Yes, you have passed the final exam a few months early. Congratulatons.

 

[nanatink]

PJ we need to have this meet put on the calender.

Seaulater we need this put on the mini-navigator.

 

[Making_Memories]

I know what you mean. I have just been really irritable lately. I think I just need to get away.

Maybe I'll change careers ... perhaps I'll become a cliff diver.

I don't think geezers need a list. It would probably get lost and we know who we are anyway! We will have to ask PJ to put it on the calendar. All geezers, and geezers in training are welcome! Bring your own milk!

I told my kid's my birthday's are now in reverse.
