October 15, 2005 anyone?

Michelle, for years the bottom half of my two front teeth were discolored from an unfortunate encounter with a slate foyer at the age of 3, so I can totally empathize with Josie. In what my dentist could only call a miracle, the discoloration faded over the years and they are now pretty much the same color as the rest of my teeth (or maybe the rest of my teeth just got dirty). I can tell a slight difference, but I doubt anyone else could.

On the baseball front, we are tried and true Astros fans (I even grew up in a town where the minor league team was a farm team for the Astros, so I saw Craig Biggio play when he was young). I have kept quiet this season because (a) we're in the same division as those Cubs and Cards I keep hearing about and (b) I didn't want to jinx our season. Our local paper, the Houston Chronicle, did a story on them early in the season and put a tombstone on the front of the sports page saying they were done for the season. As Lance Berkman said, "How can you not write us off? It hadn't happened since 1914. By the way, that was Craig Biggio's fifth or sixth year in the big leagues." Well, they managed to turn things around, but everyone here was sort of in a quiet holding pattern - we all agreed that we just wouldn't talk about the streak. Now that we're in the playoffs, we're free to discuss their great turnaround because they're going to tank in the playoffs like they always do. We have some sort of nasty curse. We've had great teams, and with our current pitching staff we should be unbelievable, but something always happens to the Disastros in the playoffs.

Oh, here's another funny quote from yesterday's article in the Chronicle reprising their tombstone article...

Reporter: "I have a Hall of Fame vote. Want to rethink that answer?"

(Astros Catcher) Brad Ausmus: "What are you going to do? Keep me out of the Hall of Fame? I think I've done a good job of that all by myself."

Since we are newbies, can someone explain the exchange at the "meet" on Sunday. Sounds like a gift giving game we've played at several Christmas parties Thanks to all for your good advice and hilarious stories

Hi there! We do have a Tag game organized for some of us on this cruise, but the final registration date was September 30th. I'm sorry - we had to have a cutoff so that we could get it organized and because many of our number will be out of contact starting this Friday. But please come meet us at the general get together - I believe we will have quite a gathering.

Kathy, I loved the Tigger picture w/ your little one. Too Cute! Like your door sign's tto.

Nancy, as you can see I figured the picture thing out. The only problem is that I think it's too big & I don't know how to make it smaller.

[cntkg1]

I can't sleep!!!!

I know I'm just being paranoid. But being that it's our 1st cruise, I just want to fit in.

On a side note, I am getting really jealous about everyones Palo reservations. Am I the only one who didn't reserve one!!!?? Darn computer anyhow!

Marnie

Marnie,

I also did not get Palo brunch ressies online. I logged on at just past 2:00 a.m. on August 1st and only got dinner. I'm a first timer too. I think it's because we were both trying to get ressies for only two people. Looks like those who had 4 or more got theirs online. I'll be standing in line on the ship with you for those brunch ressies!!!

Paul,

Do you know where we go to get our dining times changed???? We have to get my best friend changed to early!!! We are ready to beg!! We hope it happens before we leave,but her Doc's still say late!! Our TA is working on it!!!! I check the Disney site everyday...


I did read a thread today at lunch about changing times and It sounded like almost everyone who wants a change gets accomodated!! All we can do is try!!!

I told my Barb to call Disney herself and beg...Tell them they don't want to have all the late diners distracted by a crabby 2 year old!!

Our ressie's are linked and a request for the same table!

Marnie,


Ok...I might as well fill you in on Josie's dental issues before you guys meet her....These dental problems don't only apply to adults!! Josie fell at 2 and broke one front tooth in half and so she has a crown on that tooth. Then at 2 1/2 she slid down her wrought iron canopy bed and shoved her other front tooth all the way up in her gum between her primary teeth. OUCH! Never seen so much blood in my life. Anyway that tooth started coming back down twisted and so they had to pull it. So she was without a front tooth till last year. Her permanent tooth has come in,but is severly nerve damaged and discolored. So now the Dentist says we have to wait for her crown to come out and then her other permanent front tooth can come in and we will see if it is damaged too. At that point they will cap them with porcelean filing and they will be white again. I will be so glad cause kids at school always ask her why her front teeth are so dark. I hate it,but it won't be that way forever. So she is still my cute little Angel....Just messed up teeth for now...

Michelle, I can relate! DD (now 21) was climbing a fence when she was about 4 years old. She fell and cracked her mouth on her knee. Her two front teeth both turned gray almost immediately. Good thing they were her baby teeth and they fell out when she was 7. Kristin took a lot of kidding from kids at school too. One boy used to leave a toothbrush on her desk just to be mean!! Well, you know what they say about "payback"? Kristin just had him as a paitent last week. She reminded him about the toothbrush incidents and he just blushed and actually apologized. Good thing...you don't want to "tick off" she who holds the dental tools!!

I've always heard that it's in the same place as the Palo ressies...

I keep hearing people talking about how well the late seating worked out for them, but I just don't think I can eat after 8PM.... besides it's not really healthy to eat tons right b4 bedtime (even 2 or 3 hours b4 bedtime)... that's my big reason for switching...

Later,
Paul

 

[cntkg1]

Wow...we have a lot of people standing in that Palo line. Why don't we just have the DISmeet there??

Just want to say happy trails and safe travels to all those lucky one's who are leaving before the rest of us.

I've been debating if I should try to switch ours to early. I KNOW that our girls won't be able to wait that late for dinner. They start getting itchy around 4:45 in the afternoon for dinner at 5. Even if their body clock stays on central time, no way will they be willing to wait until 7:30. So if we keep late, they will probably not be eating with us, or will be eating after a big snack at their real dinner time.

 

[llyolf]

I'll second the safe travels wish. Look for the beads baby!!!

 

[BABYJOSIE98]

I don't like to eat late either!! We had it our 1 st cruise and it is just too late and then go to bed after eating that much.....No way! I am sticking with early and somehow I will get Barb changed!!
