May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 2

[Tigger1221]

V that's so awesome.....I'm soooooooooo jealous of you that you got to do what you love in HS......I didn't discover that I loved dance until I was in NYC and a friend took me to a Jazz class. I fell so hard. Then I studied my butt off.....I did ballet and Jazz for a couple of years with 2 classes a night after work and a 5 hour class on Sat.....then I burnt out and paced myself to 3 classes a week.

I never got to do pointe, but love it and I love lyrical and love musical theatre. I was in an off off off broadway show that a friend wrote and directed when I was in the city and I did a couple of dance productions with my dance studio at the time. It's my passion in life too.

When you get out there and perform again, you let me know because I want to be there to see you.....John and I will make the trip down.

Me, I would love to open a dance studio and hire people to teach and then put on performances and I could take classes everyday all day long and do shows. I would love that. Maybe when we get to Delaware. That's my goal.

When DH and I were in high school we were in theatre. Only we didn't act he did lights and I did fly. Every summer he still does Lighting design for a local theatre group. He loves it and I enjoy watching. I could never act, I can't sing or dance. I tried dance one time and blew my knee out. Never did it again plus I am very clumsy.

If they don't post but they let Deb know that they are still coming then ok. It makes it hard planning for the fish gifts if you don't know about how many are still going.

Yup, I would agree! If they respond, by all means include them. But if we have reached out and wait a good amount of time and they don't respond, I don't think we have any choice but to take them off the list.....unless they pop back in like Marilyn said and we can always add them back.

Sounds fair to me. Sounds like we all agree.

I wanted the Colts to win, but John is in a "toilet bowl" of sorts for some $$ and he has more Charger players left so he is happy.

Sorry V....I wanted the Colts to win too. I had the game on but fell asleep too so I didn't see much of it. It looks like it was a great game though. Now I'm going to watch my giants lose.

RIGHT click on Quote and open a new window. I didn't know you could do this. WOW I like it.....it makes it so much easier than going back to the page that I was on by hitting the back button.

Thanks Karen. Thank you for sharing. I can't multi quote either....and they're hard to reply to because you have to erase all the other responses and I'm too lazy most times.

This is good.....I like this!

ok, since Karen suggested and Deb did it, I felt like I had to try too.

OK, it's pretty easy but when you have to catch up on 10+ pages like me today, I may end up quoting stuff that isn't relevant anymore...you'll forgive me won't you?

I am not sure who I want to win this game.....would like to see Eli do well.

I think an indoor spot, rain or shine, is probably a better idea. Then you don't have to worry about an alternative.

I like the idea of the Atrium, as there is a great picture spot on the next floor between the elevators. One of the theatres would be good as well.

As Noel would say... Just my thoughts!

Karen

ok, I' might just love this right click, it's true you can type in real time to what you are reading... and right now I'm thinking that I miss Noel too. Hope she can check back in soon and tell us all about her NYE trip.

I know everyone is very anxious to get things 'going' on this cruise, but I really don't think you should put any more work into group activities and the master list until AFTER 2/9. I'm sure there are a bunch of people who still don't know if they're going or not. And some that are sure, my not be focusing on this trip until then.

I think we'll save ourselves a lot of stress if we just sit tight for a few more weeks!

GO GIANTS!!!

 

[scottishwee35]

My thoughts exactly!!

Hi Lisa

I am glad that you didn't cancel this Cruise as you seem had a lot of plates at the moment. Perhaps you need this Cruise to get more relax 15 days.

Also photo of Daniel look handsome guy I understand you had been crying, dont worry every mum have it feeling.

I hope you are keeping well

Take Care

Thank you for the encouragement. I am going. I have decided. I have not told Frank yet....but he should be fine....my mom....well, she begged me not to go to the MED cruise and I did that.

Sorry about your MIL. When my younger sister died in 1969, we had 10 years of DRUNK H*LL with my mom. I kind of understand now, but then I would hide under the bed so she would not beat me. Then she just stopped drinking....my brothers both say they do not know how she has lived this long....smoking 3 packs a day for 60 years (she quit 2 years ago) and drinking for 10 years straight...never sobering up....It is just amazing how healthy she is for what she has put herself though

I'm trying hard to keep a civil tongue over what's going on with MIL. I just can't understand the choice (or lack of choice) which is why Paul and I are going to try an Alanon meeting this next week.

I've often wondered why my dad died when he didn't hard himself with drugs or booze, but MIL is still here dispite what she has done to her body. Sour grapes I know, and not kind on my part, but it just further explains how much I don't get this problem.

backto catching up now...I think I have 8 more pages. Then we are off to the awards ceremony for Wilson's go-karting year. He doesn't know that he is getting a big trophy. It should be cool.

Here are some shots of our Fish Extender. Pahrumpgirl (Carol) made it and DD, Alex decorated it.

Next to the door of the Roy Suite on our November cruise.

Karen

okay, you got me motivated to pull this from the cruise box and get crafting.... Yours looks great!

This probably makes the most sense Jackie. Otherwise we'll just have to keep duplicating our efforts.

GIANTS DRAW FIRST BLOOD.....TOUCHDOWN! FIRST SCORE IN THE GAME.

I have to get excited now because it's probably the only time in the game that I'll have a chance to!

 

[calmom]

If they can't answer the pm then I say we cross them off our list!

I would say take them off. What else can we do?! It seems like some people come on like gang busters and then disappear without saying anything. If you wait the appropriate amount of time, then I see no reason why they shouldn't come off, especially if they don't answer you!

Agree!

I know I was going to wait to post the fish teams until after the 2/9, but I got a bit anxious so started working on them. I'll put it hold - if you haven't PM'd, please still do if you want to join. But I'll wait to put together anymore teams until after the final payment. If you are already on a team, feel free to start planning/ordering but I think Jackie & Deb are right that it will be hard to have a final count as to how much to buy until final payment is due.

What do we do then? If we have some people like that on our cruise?

If they are reading but not replying they should still answer their pms. Maybe about a month before the cruise or more a few people can pm 10-20 people of the list just to make sure they are still on the boat. If a few people did this it wouldn't be too much on one person.
