he might end up in a pina colada.... or worse, but I can't tell about that since this is a family board

Marilyn, I love it!! You should TAG yourself with that!

Go into the USER CP and where it says your DIS VETERAN, add that quote but don't delete the DIS VETERAN part! It will not be in color, but it is a great TAG!!

Jan

Hadn't thought of that - will have a go!!

WAY TO GO MARILYN!! BOBBY APPROVES TOO
You could go back in and add your DIS VETERAN line above your quote too. That way you don't lose your designation!

I asked everyone at dinner what they wanted to do for tours and Molly requested....the Dolphins. I told her I didn't think we'd do it again, it was ~$1K for it the last time we did it in St Maarten. Paul wispered...you 2 can do it. that was a nice treat I really didn't expect it, but WE'RE SWIMING WITH THE DOLPHINS IN CABO!!!!!! There was interest in the PV Priate excursion. I plan on stalking Gydell in Aca to see the cliff divers and get some good food and drinks ...just Aruba left to figure out. Paul said he might like the jeeps is there any room left for a party of 4 in the jeeps????

Stalk away! Feel free to follow us as long as you like, the more the merrier. Closer to the time we should take a head count and make ressies at La Perla.

My family and I will be going on the repo w/ all of you this May. I'm so excited....We actually were on the 1st Westbound repo in 05 so I know this one is going to be alot of fun. My family consists of myself(30)DH Todd (32) DS Jacob(8 B-day on 5/15) and DD Alyssa(5). Do you guys have any group excursions planned?

-Serena

Welcome!

DD Sophia will be 8 on 2/17 (and she will be on the cruise)

 

[gydell]

OOO! I need the answer too! I got the 160gb for Christmas and most of the stuff I own isn't even on iTunes for sale (lot of indie and horror). So I would love to be able to transfer what I already own.

We have Video to Go and it works good. The problem is that some of the DVDs have something that keeps you from coping them - like Harry Potter. Ones like that we have to get from the tv.

I also read on Cruise Critic from people who've taken this tour that if you're prone to motion sickness, then it's even worse on the sub, so that sorta sealed the deal for us, because my oldest does get seasick. He's fine on the ship for the most part, but I hate to put him on something that would do him in. So I'm just not sure what we'll do!

Amy and I did this on Grand Cayman. Let's just say if you are at all prone to motion sickness or claustrophobia steer waaaaaay clear of this. At least half the people on our tour lost their lunch!

That would be great!!

 

[gydell]

I like the idea of stalking Gydell too!!!! She knows the score!!

 

[Jhalkias]

Hmmmm...

And Steve Jobs will be wearing something different (NOT!!) Black Turtle-neck and Jeans!!

Lots of commercials about MacWorld Expo here in SF. We'll get to see his address on all of the news stations... over and over and over...

Jealous John???

Karen

YES

Jackie,

We SO needed to see this!!!

We have been in DEEP discussions about whether we REALLY can AFFORD this trip...

I'm sure that Suze would say NO to us too!!

Karen

Count us as another no too if that were the case. She would probably suggest counseling and deep intervention.

I thought about it a lot . . . but NO WAY are we canceling, even if it is the last cruise for a long time.

 

[granmaz]

Whatever happened to the Tag Fairy?

 

[lillygator]

YES

Us as well....my heart is invested and I think we got a good price and even if we don't cruise again for a while...we aren't canceling this one.

I woke up this am to John's alarm going off at 4:30....he's off today so he just turned it off, but I got up and moved to the couch. My throat was hurting so I wanted to take some Advil....as I sat there, I could have sworn I heard three gunshots, from two different sounding guns. Two fired first and then one fired almost in retaliation, it seemed. I don't think you can hallucinate on Advil can you?
It was very odd...

 

[gydell]

I sure wouldn't know!

 

[lillygator]

I-4 is closed again in the same spot as the accident due to smoke.

 

[granmaz]

Wonder who will be the first one of us in the lifeboat to get a room allocation.

 

[lillygator]

all you GTY people - are you checking daily? Do we have a list of all the lifeboaters?

Samantha's teeth are still hanging in there!! they look so pitiful!

 

[lillygator]

American Idol is on tonight --- and Comanche Moon, but I think CM is the first episode reaired....I hope so anyway!

I don't think so . . .

Do any of you guys know who the "Hearty Boys" are from the Food Network? They are doing a cooking class tomorrow night at our cooking school (at one of our stores) and I am trying to drum up attendees - $75 a pop. We have not had a great response.

I roped Amy into going - sounds like fun, but most of our classes are only $35 which is probably why this one is having trouble.

I would go if I was there!!


We just received notice that 4 people in the planning department were eliminated. Two have been put in other jobs and two let go. In the same email they stated that they are going to create 4 new positions with a focus on moer advertising, etc. Seems like a kick in the teeth doesn't it? here, you're fired, but we're gonna recreate the job.
I am hoping this doesn't extend to other departments.
