I showed that post to Chuck and he made himself a PBJ sandwich, looked at my neck and pulled a burr out of my hair. Ahhh, a true romantic.

chuck is my hero.

Won't find me on there either. I'd rather take the upcharge and go on 2 vacations for the price of a holiday one.

Yeah, you can definitely do 2 vacations for the price of one of those. Maybe one day but not while the kids are little. I keep thinking that once they are grown we will automatically become rich!!! Yeah right, then its paying off college, the weddings, vacations with grandkids..........

 

[goofyfreak]

Bye Jeff......Hi Mike or Robin!!!!

 

[Dyerneeds]

Nancy, I play the piano and trumpet. I got an accordian for my bday and have not a clue. I will try to learn!!!

My mother thought it would be great for me to learn another instrument. When she thinks I have time to do this I am not sure. I love music and I know she was being sweet but I am sure it will sit there for several years before I get a chance to give it the time it will take to learn to play it. The kids seem to like to play with it though.
As for bringing it for lessons, I just don't think I have room with all of Scott's shoes.......

That's why I started early. Luckily we only have the one. My plan is to have college paid for before he is out of high school. I have a boy, so I don't have too much about the wedding side. I started saving for retirement at 18 and only count my own retirement contributions - nothing from Social Security and nothing from the Company Pension (those two will be gravy money for travel).

As for traveling with grandkids, I'm trying to convince Suz to buy into a DVC property. We can pass it on to DS when we croak and he can still take his kids.

I see lots of people here have and use DVC. We have thought about it also. We are also very good about saving for retirement. We should be able to travel as much as we do now, maybe more since we will only be paying for 2 instead of 5.

This game is getting too easy.

I hope you and Robin have a nice and pretty quiet evening with her parents.

We make sure we travel now. I'm not waiting until retirement. My father, who never traveled anyways, passed away within 5 years of retirement at 63. My mom passed away at 67. With those odds, I'm not waiting to travel.

My original plan was to retire at 56 (Suz would be 59 1/2 so we could tap her retirement), but for the next 6 years until 62 we will have vitrually no expenses so we could sock away more for retirement and travel then too. Suz will be done in her mid-50's as soon as DS is in college.

 

[JLDSMD]

Seriously now. I need to leave. Stop talking to me.

Bye.

Oh, I forgot. 1 point for Rose. She was the first to notice my avatar was changed. I said a few pages back (make that about 100) that it will be a contest to see who first notices when I change my avatar.

So the Rose is in the lead with 1.

Now I'm out.

Sure, now that I get a moment to play, no one wants to play with me.

Guess I'll just play by ("with" for you sick-o's) myself.

Going to look at the menus on Castaway Club and think of what I want for dinner. I think I wrote down once what I was planning on getting. Some nights I will be trying new things, but on a couple, there are some things I just have to have, like the Duck in Lumieres, the Lobster on Captain's Gala night.

Anyone else who has been on before have any favorites that they have to have?

Anyone anal and won't try anything different?

Who's definitely going to do different choices this cruise?

Yes, Mango Soup and the Crab Cakes
No, I'm not anal and will try other things this time (except most meat)
Yes, I'm definitely making different choices.

O.K., most of us are less than 3 weeks away from online bookings (Chris is this Saturday).

What are your priority items to book (Palo, a certain excursion, etc)?

What Palo meals are you going for? Which day if brunch? Which night if dinner?

Only booking our Dune Buggy Excursion.
No Palo for us.

Who plans on re-booking another cruise at the first opportunity?

Who's waiting until near the end?

Who never wants to go on another Disney cruise?

Who's sick of me asking all these questions?

I'm re-booking as soon as I board the ship!
I'm not sick of the questions...yet.

Does anyone have any favorite shows they HAVE to see on board?

Anyone planning on skipping any shows?

Favorite: Disney Dreams
Skipping: none

What theme nights will you be attending in the night clubs?

Anyone like going to Sessions (the jazz bar)?

Who's up for an Adult DIS Meet in one of the clubs (I know we already have the wine tasting/DIS meet)?

We will be going to the CM show "What would I be if not a CM" on the last night in Diversions (???)
Chuck and I are up to an adult DISmeet.

How many posts does it take to get a whole page?

15???

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

15???

Who let the Dogs Out?

Who? who? who?

Do I need to get a life?

Nope, cuz if you do, so do the rest of us.

Why does my KK look small here at work, but normal size at home?

Why does the repo one not shrink?

Why does your what look so small at work??? Is that what you guys are calling it nowadays?

In my line of work you learn to live for today. We try to never wait til later. There may be no later. Making memories with our kids is very important to us. Scott's family never went on a vacation. His first vacationwas to Disney with me on our honeymoon. He has been hooked ever since. My family went on vacation every year. I'm not sure how my parents affored it but they thought it was important so it happened.
