Oh Cass, I'm so sad now. Any way we can persuade you to join us? Will a strawberry-smoothie-a-day do it?

(You just made me think about all my pictures and cruise stuff on my fried up computer. Good thing Jeff helped me back most of it up last summer. ) Hey Jeff, you up for a mini meet when I get my new computer?

Any time Nancy. Just remember though, don't keep your back up at the house.

Glad to hear everything turned out o.k.

 

[JLDSMD]

yes, we went 12. let me know what you find out. im heading out to work now
though.

Mike,

It is only $200 more on the DCL site, so $180 after the 10% from rebooking. There are 8 sideways Cat 11's (ask Nancy about them - Kristin stayed in one) on Deck 5 Forward.

I will post this info on the KK2 thread as well for you.

Even better yet.

Mike, did you have a re-booking discount at all?

 

[Karen Mouse]

Hi guys!

Glad to see that a lot of you are happy about going on an Eastern. I for one am rather disappointed and not sure if we will be joining you for KK2.

I hate St Maarten and have been to St Thomas twice now. I was hoping for either something new or at least 2 stops to CC.

Two years is a long way away so I will think about it but I won't be booking it anytime soon.

Nancy, I am so glad you and everyone else there (like Cabo!) is ok! That must have been a scary situation! I've always been petrified about having a fire! I am not materialistic but I would be so sad to lose all my photos, scrapbooks and videos! Those are irreplaceable!

- we have a long time yet to change your mind

Wow! - great price! - Mine was $3040.74 before discount.Went down to $2551.74 after discount.

Our cat 11, midship deck 6, #6567, was $1761.16.

Great price - I would definately have had a cat 11 if the SPH 's werent available. I couldnt believe it when the lady on the phone said 5020 was free - I said "I'll take it - book it!" before I'd even asked the price

I'm sure Sean was going to - he probably doesnt know its available to book - he only comes on here occasionally - I dont know how to get hold of him either

I think Miisy and Lori were looking at it too

Come on you lot! - get it booked and join us KK2'ers - we're already partying

 

[Scouter]

Here's our tree...

Hey I see a familiar ornament in front

You know...... I still don't have one! It took me so long to make them right up until days before the trip that I said I'd do mine when I came back and I've
just been so lazy since we've returned.

Help me Carrie! I need all your energy and motivation!

 

[Scouter]

I love the snow. I just don't like the bitter cold we get. When it gets down to 0 degrees and the wind is blowing... it goes right through you. That chill factor is a killer.

I'm with you on this one Robin!

Love the snow, don't mind driving in it either..... I just give myself extra time and drive really slow. I hire a guy to plow my driveway also so I don't have to hate that chore!

I just HATE when it's really cold!

It would be great if it could stay like 40 degrees and still be cold enough for snow!

 

[Scouter]

I am so not getting into Christmas this year.......

I just want to go away and skip it..(like on a cruise! )
and come home and it's all over.

I just don't know what's wrong with me this year, but it all seems like such a chore and I really have no family and Bob's family ... well,, I'd rather stay home and watch tv on Christmas!

I talked with Sean about skipping it, but he says...." well, ok but NO PRESENTS?"

Then he asks about the tree, and I said..... "since when did you care? You've never helped put it up, decorate it or any kind of Christmas decorating or baking"

So he says he'll put the tree up....

Yeah, so far, I'm the one who's dragged the tree out, it still sitting in his computer area....

he's been too busy today (it was a snow day at school) trying to overclock his computer by placing the tower out in the cold garage (I'm sure the only one who might understand this one will be Steve)

So I'm the one trying to get it together.

I'm trying to get into the mood by stringing cranberries and popcorn on thread to make a homemade garland for the tree......

 

[Scouter]

So I have to tell you all a story that happend to me yesterday.

I stopped at Arby's for lunch. It was just me. I sat down at a window booth. Three teen boys walked out and stood by the window and smoked under the eve so they would not get wet. One of the three was sagging really bad. I kept thinking "his belt must be pressing on a certain body part and must be painful." Then the more I looked you could see he was wearing briefs and that the pants were showing part of his leg. Well this table of I would say 70 year old people came to sit in the booth next to me. It was the first booth in the door and one of the men had a walker. So the one wife sat her husband down and then looked out the window and saw the boy. She was so dramatic about it. She started motioning to the boys friends to have him pull his pants up. The movements she was making were so funny. But I knew she was asking for trouble. So the boy turns and looks at her points at his butt and shrugs his shoulders. This was the conversation at their table for about 10 minutes. Then the boys decide it is time to walk away but they knock on the window first. The ladies look up to that young boy with his breifs down, he was mooning her. Now I understand why they wear them that low. It is easier for the to moon people.

OMG. I bet that poor lady wanted to kick his butt.

Shoulda grabbed her husbands walker and whacked the boys butt with it

 

[Scouter]

What is family? Scott and I are both only children. We have my parents, and Scotts Dad and step mom

Carrie, us too.
I only speak with a cousin of mine and she is in Florida
and on my son's side, his father, grandmother and grandfather are deceased, he
only has an aunt here that he sees perhaps once a year and an uncle, aunt and cousins in California but he only sees them perhaps once a year if that.

It's just been Sean and I for a long time.....
Until Bob.... and his family..... but seriously sometimes, we'd rather be alone!
We're used to it and never any hassles or family fights on our holidays.

But we have our DIS family!

 

[Scouter]

That is very true. We don't have many friends because we don't get out much. But when we started posting on this thread I kept telling Scott that everyone excepted us like we were family and that everyone is always there for each other. When we all finally met up it was like a huge family that we have never had.

 

[Scouter]

This is going to be a rough holiday. (I don't know if you read back on the boards.) We had to place both my parents in a nursing home in July within 4 days of each other. The both have alzheimers. We cared for them as long as we could. So it's going to be very different this year.

We usually get together with Mike's family and have a xmas party. We usually meet at one of his brothers'. One lives 1 hour away and the other lives 3 hours away.

Sean and I have had to go visit with Grandma every holiday at her nursing home.
We were the only family members in charge of her.
One cousin visited occasionally, but not even her son or daughter did.
My mother finally did when she was on her death bed, but I was so stinking mad at her.... we had words....

But we always decorated Gram's room with a fiber optic Christmas Tree I got for her and I wrote to all Gram's friends during the year and at Christmas so then they'd send her Christmas cards and I'd tape them up on her wall so she'd see them.

It was sad and difficult but we did the best we could for her.

Best of wishes to you Robin while you go through the holiday's with your mom and dad

 

[Scouter]

We'd love to join ou but 2009 is just a bit to far to plan. Too much might happen before hand - jobs, etc. I won't say any more.

Anyway....we'll see.

oh you guys are going.
theres no way robs going to pass up a chance to spend another week with big red.

We may change our minds later on but I really don't wanna spend $3-4K on a cruise we've done twice before to places we don't like. Also, it would mean that we would miss Kira's first time trick or treating.

But like Heather said, it's 2 years away so who knows what will happen between now and then?
