you may have heard it "Love Shack" yes we did have it as our first song at our wedding.

Love Shack was your wedding song?? You two are TOO COOL!

Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools,
'cause love rules at the Lo-o-ove Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back

Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway

The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together
Love Shack bay-bee! Love Shack baby!
Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin',
wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies!
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funk-y little shack!

Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can't hear you
Bang bang on the door baby
Bang bang on the door
Bang bang on the door baby
Bang bang
You're what?... Tin roof, rusted!

Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin',
dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack




And I think it's cool that Grim knows how to fix B-52's! And I think it's cool that Tiggie is an Army Brat! And I think it's cool that Debbie is a new bride! And I think it's cool that Jill is Jill!

Nan, yes I saw the outfit. Very very cute. I don't want to say any more about it, because I know Grim didn't take a peek on your other cruise meet board, and I don't want to spoil the surprise.


Debbie, I can understand the emotion with sending the packages to our troops.

By the way, your son the sheriff sounds like a doll, the way he answered your phone call and said "yes mom, I love you."

Hi All,

My boys are Army Brats. My eldest was born in Germany and the youngest in San Antonio Texas. I happy that they were young when their dad and I divorced. I can't imagine pulling them out of school every 3 or 4 years. They grew up with the same friends that they still have.

My office is sending packages to Service personel in Iraq that don't get packages or letters. This is the 1st time since my son returned 2 years ago that I have done something like that. It's a good thing I have my own office because I was crying. I'm happy I did it but those emotions just came right back.

I was looking on the DCL web page to see if they have a Military Discount and they do but it is for Active Duty only. It would be nice if they would change that to include Reservists and retired as well. My son is in the reserves and my cousin is in the Army Reserves and was in Afganistan & Iraq.

I was looking at excursions for the Western cruise and there are a few that would be nice. Any suggestions?? Also if you were to skip going into port which port would you skip? I love spending time on the ship but don't want to miss something fantastic as well.

That's so cool~

I believe DCL *does* have a retired military discount, I'm pretty sure we got our price down a hair with Dreams Unlimited because Mom is retired military. I could be wrong but it's worth a phone call right?

Mom (and my sister and niece) did a ruins tour and a snorkeling trip. They never got to see Key West, their cruise was rerouted due to a couple hurricanes that year. She said something a couple pages back, one of their Mexico stops was changed and they did Castaway Cay first instead of last.

If you do a ruins tour, you MUST pack yourself some bottled water. That seems to have been the only complaint I caught onto with people doing those excursions. "It's rediculously hot and there is nowhere to get yourself some water once you leave the ship."

this is us isn't it???? we are dancing our way there or to the spa/salon either way we'll be broke when we're done!

We can ABSOLUTELY use that for us...

Now to get some tall beer mugs in their hands while they dance ...

No Grim, she did not say "outfit" it is not an "outfit" it is a go-kart trust me

what ever happened during that competition you guys were in? WASPASIASBVKDBSUVHFICHSDKJB?

 

[trinibjill]

And I think it's cool that Jill is Jill!

Awwwwwwwwwwww that's sweet.


"what ever happened during that competition you guys were in? WASPASIASBVKDBSUVHFICHSDKJB?"

I can't believe I figured that one out.

"I was looking at excursions for the Western cruise and there are a few that would be nice. Any suggestions?? Also if you were to skip going into port which port would you skip? I love spending time on the ship but don't want to miss something fantastic as well. "


Having been on a Western cruise. Even if you didn't want to do an excursion some of the ports have interesting towns to just walk around & sightsee in.

Aisling, I can't believe you wrote the whole song - WOW

Jill

what ever happened during that competition you guys were in? WASPASIASBVKDBSUVHFICHSDKJB?

We got the boot.
We were kicked out.
We were eliminated.
We were sent packing.
We were ejected.
We were rejected.
We were shown the door.
We lost.
We got the hook.
We underscored.
We died a graceful death.

It was fun, though, and difficult, and time-consuming. Also good for the brain. The competition was formidable, and the ones that made it all the way to the individual rounds have great staying power. Even though Tig's and my teams were eliminated, we still have the opportunity to participate in the audience challenges for real prizes, like a 2 night, 3 day stay at the Swan Dolphin.

WPASADI Let's see if I can remember: Wicked P____ A______ Survivor A______ Dis Idol.

Jill, that Love Shack song brought back some funny memories for me. But now I'm going to forever associate it with Nan and Chicken as their wedding song! Well, it sure beats Endless Love!

[nskjerven]

[tiggerwannabe]

sorry Nan, not really...I stopped going over there so much anymore...

I tried a couple audience challenges but was very disappointed in how things were progressing.

I've been keeping quite busy with work, the Magicmeet in July and our upcoming trip to see you~

 

[nskjerven]

ok if you dropped out of even watching it I bet I wouldn't like it either. good to have you on the front end for me babe

 

[tiggerwannabe]

You got it Nan, Anytime!!!

I *can* share what picture I posted on the DCL pic a day thread...enjoy~

 

[nskjerven]

Morning Cruisers

 

[bride2007]

Good Morning All,

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I called AAA yesturday and was able to get quoting for my sons & a girlfriend. They were able to get the room next to us for around $5000 with taxes and Insurance. It worked out to be around $1700 each. I'm not sure if they will want to spend that much and if they decide not to go I'm going to request their room. We now have 5024 with a partially block window (more like very blocked), they have 5022 which is blocked only slightly. What's nice about these rooms is that we paid inside stateroom rates but get a window. I also love deck 5 because it is easy access to all of the adult areas and not very noisey.

Are those the famous "Secret Porthole Rooms"? Good catch!

I hope your sons and GF go. Remind them that they have a over a year andf a half to save for it!
