NEW...DOLPHIN/SWAN..."questions and answers"...tips and hints!

[DolphinBoy]

Does anyone have any updates on which floors of the Dolphin have been rehab'ed??

 

[Muffy]

Disbug, I'm so sorry to hear that your DD 2 is still to sick to eat. Not the kind of news I wanted to hear. I know it must be so hard on you and your family. Take care.

Ozzie, It is great to hear that your DH is much better.

Hockeymom, It looks like we will just miss you! I wish our trips were over lapping too! They are never long enough for me. As far as dressing for Blue Zoo, we wore dressy casual. Dockers and a polo will be fine!

Loubon, thanks for the nod! I WISH I had been here since August!

All is well at the Dolphin!

Disbug...we have gotten to be pretty good players because being correct isn't the only part of playing the game to get on the leader board...quickness is the equally important....

Fastest finger ...just guess...use a pattern....

The game...after the question is asked they light up the answers one by one...as soon as the right answer is lite up start clicking the button (Don't hold it down...click) until it lights up. If the answer isn't A, B, or C start clicking D ASAP.....

Quickness gets you bonus points.....we usually have at least 2 or members of the family on the leader board each game....we share answers between our family members...

Hope your DD is starting to feel better...Pixie Dust for your family...

Big Wave to everybody else...

This morning we went to the foster home and picked out our puppy...

here is the family group shot....she is the white/brown which is on top of the other white/brown her blaze up her face is thinner then the one she is on top of....

We get to pick her up in 3 weeks.....can't wait....or can I....night time potty runs.....oooo it is cold outside...

What a great pic, Muffy! That must be the couch from your exec suite and palm trees outside the Dolphin? So the new decor in the Dolphin is the same peach/green, only new? We all envy you and are living vicariously through your trip reports!

 

[zurgswife]

Muffy...great picuture....we must have had an exec. suite with only the new beds not furnture.....very pretty couch...ours was yucky blue....

BTW...he is a picture of my puppy....thanks Zurgie poo..

zurgwife, I am glad to hear that you liked the Dolphin executive suite this much. I tried to call Starwood and was told none of these rooms are available for our April's trip. How early do you have to reserve them? Happy New Year!!!

Hi everyone...

It's quiet here today. DD (11) is at a Math Contest and DD(9) went to friend's house, so it's just me and DS(5).

I have joined the digital camera revolution (just a tad bit late!). I am feeling brave enough to try uploading a pic of the family. Soon...I hope.

Anyone here watch that series "American Chopper" on the Discovery Channel? My DH has started building custom parts for those custom motorcycles. Some of his work is going to be on the show. The production team came down to film the work being done yesterday, so my DH took off time from his other business to be filmed. However, the film crew ran horribly late during the first part of production and wasn't ready to film his part until today. He couldn't take more time off so the filming will go on without him...drat! He is doing more stuff for them in the future though so maybe next time things will work out. I REALLY would rather go to NY where the series is based (Orange County Choppers) to meet the stars of the show since I am a big time fan of the show.

On topic...I gotta see my counter! I can't wait to stay in that heavenly bed! Does anyone know how different the Swan Exec suite will be from the Dolphin? I think they are a little smaller.

 

[Disbug]

How much is it to stay in an exec suite at the GOV rate ?? LOL! And/or how many pts to upgrade!!

 

[zurgswife]

Lat.... I booked my 2bdrm suite 11mos. out....I figured since I was doing points and not cash I wanted to do it as soon as I could.

I think we are going to get one next December for 2 days.....at the end of the trip this time rather then the middle....

 

[Debbie7452]

OK...I can't get the family picture working. My Dad burned it a CD but my computer won't recognize it. However, I took one last night of the custom bike DH is working on.

I hope this works!

 

[Mouseteacher]

Muffy~ great picture of you in the exec suite!

ZW~ the puppy is adorable! I just love dogs. My Airedale is the princess of the house - the whole family bows to her commands and desires. We all love her sooo much. She is really our third child.

Disbug~ Exec suite as our sorority house...awesome idea. Ya think the Dolphin would give it to us comp since we do so much promotional work for them? (jk) Btw, how is your DD today?

 

[Disbug]

I have been at work since 1:30 AM this morning *(I get to go home after 16hrs. so it's almost time to head for home!) It got cold in Florida and we had to start up more generators to keep us Southerners from freezing to death!

So, little miss is home with daddy and sisters. DD9 hopefully is out getting Girl Scout Cookie orders from the neighbors, but since I am not home to take her door to door... she is probably on the computer!

DD2 is going to have a feeding tube put in sometime soon, just don't know when... waiting on a referral! (Not a CONDUCT referral, of course! LOL!)

 

[Debbie7452]

Since I promised a family pic, I scanned a digital print. Resolution is not good because it is not straight from the new camera (LOVE that camera!). but you can generally see what we look like.

That's all I promise!

Debbie - is that the show where the father is continually yelling at the son? And the other son can do no wrong? My DH laughs at that one continually.

I'm not sure what to suggest on the picture your dad burned - did he do it on your PC or another? If it is from a different PC, maybe your PC does not have that format installed?

 

[Mouseteacher]

Debbie~ what a lovely family picture - thanks for sharing with us.

 

[Disbug]

 

[Debbie7452]

Mouseteacher...thank you!

jgates...my Dad burned it on his computer. My computer is old and does not have a cd burner at all, but I thought I would be able to access pictures on cd's. Actually, I have done that with a photo store cd. How I long for a new computer...good-bye Windows 98!!

You have the right show in mind!

 

[jgates]

Ok - this is a long shot, but if you are not a member of sony's imagestation, try joining that. Then try to upload the picture. You can browse for it in whatever file it is installed to on your pc, when you go to upload. Once upload completes (cross your fingers and the toes on your left foot), then right click on the photo - there should then be an http: address in there. You can then click the IMG button above the post you are entering and insert the http: address. Course, that may be what you did to get the scanned photo in.......Just thinking that imagestation might recognize the photo and upload it even if your PC gives you a fit.

Also, dell had some REALLY cheap desktops the other day. Almost ordered one for DD but I figured she could use the old clunk and that $$ could go for Disney.

Very Cool Bike, Debbie. My kudos to your DH. Out here...WEST COAST CHOPPERS RULE~! The "KID", Jessie James, rules. We have made his acquaintance, and have friends whom "socialize" with him and his family. He's one talented guy!
