:thumbsup2 RV storage! I am looking for one in the LA area now for this cruise. We should be on the road by then. We are thinking we can do a one month rental at an RV storage that is secured.

So Angie, if we chip in and pay for the cab, Dennis will go get the RV, then come back to the port to take all of us to DL after the cruise, lol.:yay: :woohoo: :rolleyes1
 
A few days ago I went there and almost snatched 33000 or 34000, can´t remember well which, I was one post short, but I feel they were bothered in not a nice way by it. Maybe it is the language barrier what makes me feel like it, I thougth it was all in fun, even when someone from their thread tried to pirate post 5000 (I think from us).

And I am sorry with my fellow cruisers because after my post, lbgraves said she would be telling all the rest when we approached any post milestone so they can all come and pirate us, so I guess that if they really haunt our thread it will be my fault, though how can all of them keep up with their thread and haunt ours is beyond me :confused3 , come one, there are people there with more than 3000 posts just in that thread!!!!

Julie,

As Angie said, don't worry about it. Some of those folks are very good friends of ours, and it is all in fun. I almost got #30,000 off them! This actually started with another friend on a thread a few years ago . . . are you out there listening Jordan?

I don't think it is you as a "pirate" Kim (kimerinc) "stole" their 10,000 post and they are determined to steal ours. I think most do not keep up but read the summaries on the first page. I think it really is all in fun and they are not mad but determined to steal our posts if they can.

I have been asking my friends if they have quit their jobs to keep up with that madness! I thought our DD Geek cruise was bad, but they are INSANE! That's what happens when you mix the Geeks, the Blabbermouths, and Captain Jack!
 
Julie, I know a bunch of those folks really well, including lbgraves and Captain Jack. I can assure you it is all in good fun and that they WILL be over here trying to pirate: the really big ones, i.e. 10,000. We need to be alert as we approch that. It is not something they take seriously, although I am sure they will holler and grumble alot if one of us should happen to be on that thread visiting and should just happen to grab a big one, say 100,000. :rolleyes1

Thank you both! You really put my mind at ease, at some point I felt that for them it was not in fun anymore and I was feeling sorry for almost snatching the post .
 

Red Eyes: Not brave enough to take a red eye with the kids (ok, I wouldn't want to be around ME after one, either), but I would earn SO many mommy points if we could swing a group Hummerzine trip to the port from somewhere!

Julie: I saw one post over on that other thread that did seem a little peeved, but I read meaning into EVERYthing. Mostly, the whole pirating thing seemed to be ignored. Don't worry about it, think it meant nothing to 99 percent of the posters over there!!

Holly: Oh, man, Tyler is SOOOO cute!!!

Off to drop one off and pick up another!:)

Hey, Julie! You were typing while I was typing! I need to answer your email!:)

Carolyn, now I'm off...

I was going to remark previously about your excellent english. I never go around to it, and I had finally concluded that English must be your original language and you ended up in Mexico thru work, marriage, etc. I am very impressed with your English. Much better than my Spanish, or any other language. I know absolutely zilch. Can't remember any of my high school French because I took that back in the dark ages.:scared1:

On the subject of pirating posts, just remember what they always say over on the EB thread:
Take What You Can!
Give Nothing Back!
 
I am bumping us up a little, we were too far down on the list.:goodvibes

I agree, I though English must have been your first language. :thumbsup2 I noticed you mentioned something about your dd not speaking english (I think it was on one of the boards), hopefully by next May both my dd's will be fairly fluent in spanish. Our nanny for the summer is originally from Guadelajara and will be working on spanish with them and then I have finally gotten an afterschool spanish program started at dd's school beginning in April. Not sure how good they will be, but they will enjoy trying! :)
 
Goodnight everyone. Have a good time chatting when you all get on here. See some of you in the morning.

Hope all in the bad weather areas are ok.
 
That would be worth looking into. We are supposedly hiring a car from the airport and leaving it at the port. Would have a look at not having a car at all and taking transfers to the resort. Then of course we wouldn't be able to get to Walmart!!! So many decisions!!!:confused3 :)

The Hummerzine will make a SHORT stop at a store on the way. Water/sodas/beer/etc.
 
So Angie, if we chip in and pay for the cab, Dennis will go get the RV, then come back to the port to take all of us to DL after the cruise, lol.:yay: :woohoo: :rolleyes1

Now THAT would be fun! We might be able to arrange that! There is a parking lot at DL for the RVs. :thumbsup2 And by the way, PJ, Dennis would likely do just about anything for you! I think he thinks you are one of the kids now! :hug:
 
Well, everyone,

Steve and I are backing out of the cruise. We wish you all a wonderful time! PrettyInTink, don't let Kevin stay up too late on the ship!

pahrumpgirl,
Keep makin' those fish extenders and if you need binding, let me know. Oh, and hey to Roy!

Take care and have fun planning everyone!

TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
 
Hey guys/gals....I was just at the "99 cents" store and they had a TON of disney stuff...pen packs, pencils packs, giant pens, note pads, pencil cases, etc. They had Ariel, Pricesses, Mickey, and Pooh. In fact they had a huge two sided display so if you have one near you, you may want to check it out. Some of the pen packs had 3 nice click pens in them which is a great deal for .99 cents! (Hmmmm, would make great fish extender stuffers..........)

Sorry to hear this, but we know things happen.

Don't worry about this.....I think we should not care about this POST # thing anyway and invite them to come and have 10,000 or what ever. If we don't care, they can have it and it means nothing to any of us.....but since it does mean something to them.....we can still try and steal theirs!! How's that for strategy??

or...one of the Cruise Moderators is a very very good friend of mine and it is NOT lgraves.......hummmmmmm???

Here's the little sickie....sorry if I posted this already! I posted it on another thread for the cruise he's joining me on, so I'm assuming I didn't put it on here since he won't be coming. :upsidedow

So very very Cute!! How are you going to be away from him for 2 weeks? Will he stay with his dad? I am leaving home DD11 and DD14.....I am not sure I can leave for that long.......

We did get a nice pack of information from DCL that included a postcard from Mickey. I showed it to DH and he wasn't very impressed but I was thrilled lol.

I got my postcard today ... I will scan and post it for everyone to see. I have 4 cruises planned so I do not know which cruise generated the post card mail......
