Ive checked the finger situation..... no rude signs in this photo!

[JLDSMD]

I noticed the finger positioning in the pic first thing but being a newbie I was not going to mention it!!

Just so you know, with this bunch it is a race to see who will point these things out first.

 

[Lindy Loo]

[JLDSMD]

he came home with "sh*t" the other week too. Neil asked him why he wasnt eating his dinner - "cos its sh*t" came his reply. We nearly fell off our chairs in shock - it was even worse that he put the word in the right context

Oh, DS would have been eating soap for dinner that night.

Hi everyone

well, I had my blood taken today at the hospital so fingers crossed I match for my sister. What a performance though - they only needed 6 little bottles of the stuff but my body just wasnt co-operating - I ended up going really hot, nearly passing out and they had to work my veins by squeezing the blood out by rubbing my hand along the vein just to get it to come out. I felt ok after a short while, but god knows how I'll cope if/when they have to get my whole blood through a machine to take out the good stuff - normally it takes 3-4 hours - I'll probably there a week! Then theres a chance they need to repeat it the next day if they didnt get enough "good stuff".

Well, its over now... feel a bit woozy - I know...pathetic arent I! - Neil can get a pint out in a few minutes when he gives blood - it took them about 15 mins to get 6 teeny tiny bottles. My sister had all sorts done aswell and has to stay in all day and tonight for more treatment so please put her in your thoughts tonight. She is worse than I was - she is petrified and goes into panic - I couldnt even tell her about my 6 little bottles without her nearly passing out. She has been offered pyschological help re the needles but shes refused. She didnt look too good today so please send her some pd.



Anyway, on a lighter note - do you have to print the maps Lindy was talking about yourself or can they send them to you? I got as far as printing it myself but our ink is useless at the minute and we still havent got round to fetching more ink cartridges - we've been in the shop about 5 times since and we still come out without them. Duh!



Abby - we too are doing the pirate museum - I think theres only one scary bit - you enter a room and it goes pitch black once the door is shut - we'll be skipping this part. If you tell the guide when you first start he can warn you when its that room and let you skip it. As far as I know the rest of it isnt scarey.



Jeff - please keep posting - we're all one big happy family on here . It can be difficult sometimes to get the tone of someones post and things can be taken out of context . I shove a load of smilies in mine to show I'm only kidding and I hope no-one has ever been hurt or annoyed by anthing I've written. I know whats happened is now in the past and you dont want to refer to it and have withdrawn whatever you put on, but please continue to post. We all miss you



OK, thats it for now, I'm off to lie down cos I still feel a bit icky - geez - I am SUCH A WUSS.

No gym for me today - I'd probably fly off the back of the treadmill


Take care everybody and play nice together

Karen-
I feel for you! My DH had a rare neurological disease (Guillane Barre Syndrome) 7 years ago and he had to have his blood filtered, plasma taken out and replaced with a synthetic plasma. The process itself was called plasmapheresis and I imagine it is much like kidney dialysis (sp.). He had it done 7 times during his hospital stay and each time took between 3-4 hours and he had to lie very still or he would blow out a vein. By the end of his hospital stay he looked like a drug addict! So, even though you are at the beginning of the process for your sister, you are NOT a wuss!!! for you and your sister!

Oh my god - I hadnt noticed either!!!!!!!!! Ellis stuck his 2 fingers up at Neil the other day - I thought Neil was gonna have a heart attack. He "learnt it at school...dont you just love other kids - he came home with "sh*t" the other week too. Neil asked him why he wasnt eating his dinner - "cos its sh*t" came his reply. We nearly fell off our chairs in shock - it was even worse that he put the word in the right context

Ellis loved that annoying theme tune at Haven... "we're hunting for tigers, blah blah blah,...we're having fun in the t t t tiger club"....god it was in my head for weeks and you've just put it back in now - CHEERS LINDY - I OWE YOU ONE......here you are - stick this in your head for the next week....... ..........Its a small world after all....its a small world after all... its a small world after all. its a small small world... theres is just one moon and one golden sun, and a smile means friendship to everyone.....etc....did it work...are you humming it?

I also found Anxious the Elephant from Haven extremely annoying , although I did quite like Naughty Ned cos he cheated at the games

Haven is a great cheap break away - which park did you stay at? - it looks like a lovely view.

I'm off to bed....oh by the way - the viewers turned up and seemed to quite like it - I wont hold my breathe though for an offer - given up all hope nowadays.


Good night

guesse what i am humming now it's a small world after all it's a small world after all it's a small world after all it's a small small world a world of laughter a world of cheer it's a world of hope and a world of fear blahblah blah

Karen/Heather,

I am not going anywhere. I will still be posting. It is just a very busy week this week. Personal Income Taxes are due early next week here in the US and as a side business, I do them for about 3 dozen people. I have 7 that I have to deliver this week and 2 more people have contacted me yesterday and wanted me to do theirs. To top it off, I haven't done my own yet. At work it is the middle of the month, so payroll, regular checks and financial statements (15 total) need to be done.

Heather, I actually haven't been posting or reading much over on the Repo thread. You want to talk about a thread that is non-cruise related, that's the one. Anything that is relavent will be posted in the first post, so I decided not to committ much time to that thread. It will be impossible to meet up with a group that size. There are a couple of DISers that I will meet up with, but will arrange that through PMs.

Jeff

Jeff-
You are a glutton for punishment! Don't you work in accounting as your main job? I just finished up our taxes last Thursday. I work in accounting so it would figure that when it comes to my own accounting, I'm a major procrastinator! Good luck making it through the week!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Hi everyone!! I am just looking up this trip. haven't read any of the posts yet, just wanted to say hi. I will be on this cruise with DH, DD 11 and DD 4. We are leaving DS 2 behind with Grandma and Granddad. Not many excursions he can do.
Are there any talking between girls yet. I would love for DD 11 to get on the ship already knowing some girls. We are also traveling with friends. We are looking forward to the trip. It is my 5th Disney cruise and my husbands 6th Disney cruise. I'll explain that later. Someone please try to catch me up on who's coming and a little info on family members. I will try to read some but 351 pages is alot!!!

Hello and welcome! My DD will be 5 in July so there's another possible friend for your younger DD. My DS will be 8 at cruise time. 351 pages IS alot! I usually can only get here in short stints then disappear for a month or so. It's a chatty, friendly group!

Linda, great pics of Elouise! (especially the finger! I was laughing out loud at that one!) Gwynne is sitting on my lap at the moment looking at the pictures, saying how she wants to play with Elouise on the cruise. I promise Gwynne won't be giving her any other finger ideas!!

Yes I do work in accounting. My company has 14 divisions, so those plus a consolidated corporate statement makes 15 statements a month. There is also a major project we are doing a feasibility study on that is taking up a lot of my time. I'm buried.

I started doing taxes on the side about 12-13 years (or more) ago. I started with only doing a couple, but by word of mouth, I have almost 3 dozen now. I usually get mine done right away since we have a refund, but got caught up doing everyone elses.

I'm off from my main job tomorrow and Thursday (DS is off of school) so I plan on doing my own and the last ones I have in house tomorrow (it's suppose to snow like crazy anyways here tomorrow. Thursday DS and I are going to the Indians/Angels BBall game. The Indians are coming to Milwaukee to play 3 games this week since we have a dome and they are buried in snow). My goal is to be done with all of those by Friday.

For some of us it's really a way of life.

While I am a lowly accounting peon (10 years of A/R and A/P) I can understand where you are coming from! I work in our corporate office and we have books for 7 companies, 1 has 3 divisions, 1 has 6 divisions and one has 16 divisions. (concrete company) I do not envy the controller or the CFO. Good luck getting it all done and keeping your sanity intact.

Abby, I love your signature!!!

Abby, I love your signature!!!

Should we add it B?

 

[Poohbush]

O.K., I have to post on this one.

First, cute picture. E is adorable.

But more importantly, I think "Naughty Ned" may have rubbed off on her. Please refer to a certain finger on her right hand (the one holding something)that is extended in that picture.

Guess she does think he's #1.

Sooo funny, naughty me thought it too!

Karen - loads of well wishes and that pixie stuff are headed your way! You're doing great!

Lindy - cute photos of Elouise! I'll have to show Katie!

Welcome to Goofyfreak!

Paige - thanks for the link on the Butterfly place in KW. Looks very interesting!

I am on a mission............

I need opinions. I want to rent a car in Coz. Would it be cheaper to reserve one online? Avis has 4 locations in Coz. Anyone know which one is closest to the ship? Brenda, did y'all do this when y'all went?

 

[kaitiebear]

my mom said that if you want to rent in coz. to go through it on-line and if you call them they can tell you the closeset one to the port. but why would you want to rent a car there?
