OK, so I have over 400 days to convert you all to the digital age . . . two of our friends on our last cruise were just like this . . . we got them both iPods and converted them.

Good luck! Katie still programs any cell phone I get and the clock in my VW will be one hour behind on Sun when the time changes.

Hubby and I (Tom & Sue) are on the Ship of Thieves cruise and we are so EXCITED!!! We are from Midland, Georgia.
We are on Deck 7 GTY with waitlist for a one bdrm and late seating for dining.

Would love to converse with other adult couples before the cruise and meet for drinks/dinner! We are in our early 50's.

Hi and welcome. There are several of us that are in our 50's. WE are a fun but well behaved group of Thieves.

And did she ever put together the carpet dress???

No, thank goodness she didn't cut through the carpet backing. However, the outline for some of the pieces was pretty noticeable, everytime she vacuumed the cut loops got fuzzier and fuzzier.

Good Morning!

Lisa has been Assimilated into the iPod Collective.

So not only are you Capt Spanx and Bananaman, but you are also Borg.

Hi -
There are so many repeat cruises on this thread, that this is probably something you already know about, but here's a link to the current Castaway Club Compass newsletter.

News to me too. Of course that's not unexpected. They won't send us our member cards because of custom regulations??? - that's the story I get when I call anyway.

The school district has won. My son will be in state testing during that period and yes, he will lose class credits for missing 10 days of high school. I can't take that chance, he is real smart but not the best student (doesn't like to do homework). So, with a very heavy heart, I have just asked my wonderful travel agent to cancel this cruise. I will be back before the sail date to wish all you wonderful people a bon voyage!! I guess I won't be needing the spots in the Hummerzine..... I won't get to go to Bunco....

On a happy note, I wish all of you the very best time on this cruise and I hope to meet you on a future cruise.

I'm so sorry you won't be joining us.

 

[MrsMork]

Sorry to hear this. I fully understand, the kids come first, always.

 

[PrincessTToo]

I think I signed up for it on the DCL website after logging into the Castaway Club link. But darned if I can find it again.

I'll keep posting the link as I get these newsletters. If I keep getting these newsletters....

I am so sorry. It must seem so hard at the moment.

Few childhood stories:

My sister and brother thought it would be fun to play postman and went to all the neighbors and took their mail and then redistributed it (not in the right place).

Same sister decided to cut off her Barbie doll's pigtail. And then she cut my other's sister's pigtail.

My sister and neighbors were playing hide-and-seek. My neighbors and I then went inside to play another game. An hour went by and my Mom asked where my sister was. Oops. We had to call the police because we yelled and yelled the call and she didn't come. The cop found her asleep in the bushes of our neighbors.

Finally, real home alone: my family (6 kids) all went to the pizza joint but forgot to turn off the tv. They order the pizza, run into neighbors who say "we just want so-and-so to meet Lisa." They look around and realize no Lisa. I'm at home in front of the TV (six years old). They USUALLY turn off the tv before leaving. What gets me is that they actually ordered and hadn't realized I wasn't there until the neighbor asked!

That's it. Good-night all! Hard day at work and I'm ready for bed. Lisa

I know Eldersburg....very lovely town!! Long and Foster is an account of mine..I need to visit their offices. I deal with Joe DeLuca in Eldersburg.

If you would like to get together the next time you are in town, let me know. We could do lunch. There is a Panera right behind his place.

Tammy:

I am so sorry you and your son will have to miss this cruise with the "Ship of Thieves". I have really never understood the value of testing at the end of the year. To me it would make more sense to test at the beginning of each year to measure the progress from year-to-year. I can understand testing a the end of high school but not at the end of the year when kids are more focused on getting out of school.

Keep us posted on if you decide to take another cruise at another time.

Warmest Regards,

Noel
