October 20th 2007 Western Magic

[disgrits]

Hi Paige
We have not cruised with any one here yet. We are just a funloving talkative bunch. You are not crashing our party. Just jump right in and join our fun! I'm not completely sure how DisTag works but it sounds like alot of fun glad you will be joining that too.

This is me jumping right in!!

I just finished looking at the "Freedom" trip report..........Oh My Goodness!!

For now we a hooked on Disney, but that ship is gorgeous!

Lately, my husband and I have been dreaming of retirement days. We are just in our late thirties, but he only has 4 more years that he owes to Uncle Sam, so even though he will have to get a 'real' job after that, we like to think about the travelling we will do when our kids are a little older and of course when they are out of the house.

I think the Freedom will be on my dream list for upcoming years........

But for now, my heart belongs to the sailing mouse!!

Brenda I KNOW that makes sense......... and I REALLY would miss you all. Ive been on the Cruise critic boards, they arent as friendly there as here!!!

I KNOW really to get full value Elouise should be 6 or 7, but it still looks good. I guess as the princess and characters fade, the Freedom will appeal even more. You're right .................. But I WANT TO DO BOTH NOW!!! THIS YEAR!

 

[A fat english gent]

Oh why oh why do I look!!!


Wayne is excited about the Freedom ,and we did a price check and we can cruise on the 20th Oct................THE SAME DAY THE MAGIC LEAVES!!!

We can cruise for $20 LESS than Disney, but its not the money, its the look of the whole ship.

I dont want to cancel here, cos of all of you, but......... its looks so good. Am i going to be on the Magic wishing I was on the Freedom ??? We have been 3 years on the trot ( this will be the 4th) to Disney.......... 3 weeks at a time, so are we Disneyed out?

Going to sleep on it.

I would wish my life away soon, my Mum says............ she thinks im "weird" planning our holidays so far ahead of time.

Lindy loo,tell Wayne I'll bring Ryan's signed Manchester United European cup winners 1999 shirt with us so he can have his photo taken wearing it,Karen will buy his ale all week,brenda will show him where to eat and where not to eat all week,Jeff will sort any trips he'd like to make while aboard the Magic,he'll have his own IT manager in Cass and Nancy will be his MUM for the week,What more can a Englishman want or need on his jolly's?.....

 

[Karen Mouse]

Just dropping in to check no-one is being silly and posting waffle for 5 pages - Geez, someone was on this thread this morning talking rubbish for 5 pages....not sure who it was but ...

Lindy Loo - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! - You cannot talk about cancelling - I totally forbid it. Stay with us - you know it makes sense

Goodnight everyone.....be good now - I'll check on you all in the morning. Detention for anyone trying to take my 4th place

Chris,

A word of caution. You'd better run for cover before Nancy gets on the board and sees this post. We all get decent jobs and she gets the OLD LADY job.

Oh, I can see the response now. One day we're picking on her for talking/posting too much, the next someone is referencing her age.

I think she may switch to the Freedom to get away from us.

We love you Nancy. Chris didn't mean it.

Jeff (your young neighbor )

Yeah, what he said.

We love you Nancy!!

We had one of those business continuity meetings today...you know, the one where you realize that you aren't being paid nearly enough to keep doing your job in the midst of a national / regional catastrophe.

 

[oybolshoi]

what I asked about threw them for a loop...does the plan include a pandemic scenario?

What if I am healthy enough to work but there's a quarantine?

What if I am deathly ill and quarantined but delirious enough to still want to work?

What if I break quarantine on purpose and come to work to expose everyone else because I hate my job?

Some day I'll learn to leave my sense of humor at home...some day. I know I drive the powers that be absolutely nuts sometimes.

 

[oybolshoi]

But really, isn't that part of my somewhat questionable charm?

 

[oybolshoi]

You guys aren't really going to let me get away with hogging this whole page, are you?

I mean, I could do it, but there is all that work on my desk....

 

[oybolshoi]

But then again, all work and no play isn't what I get paid for.

Actually, now that I think about it...I'm not really sure what I get paid for.

Hmmmmm...topic of conversation...

anyone doing anything intersting for Valentine's Day?

Jay and I don't celebrate it any longer...we like to pretend that we're spontaneous.

Here's a list of my favorite DCL drinks in no particular order:


Castaway Punch
Konk Koolers
Fairy Tale Cuvee
Lemoncello Squishee from Palo
Strawberry / Champagne Fizzie from Palo


Mochaccino - both with ice cream and served over ice!

Duff Beer for me,
Duff Beer for you,
I'll have a Duff,
You have one too!

You don't really want me to post the whole thing, do you?

Has anyone here ever checked out Despair.com?

I go there when I need a laugh.

I have a demotivational desk topper called Bitterness. It has a picture of a beautiful sand castle being washed away by the incoming tide and underneath it reads:

Never be afraid to share your dreams with the world, because there's nothing the world loves more than the taste of really sweet dreams.

I was just talking baseball with a couple of the guys in the department. We are very concerned about the Cardinals lack of quality pitching going into the 2007 season.

 

[oybolshoi]

I think it's safe to assume that the Cardinals will not have post-season success this fall given that Jay and I will be cruising in October rather than maintaining a base of operations on land.

Too bad...it would have been fun to repeat.

I just found out today that one of my favorite lenders is leaving the bank - relocating to South Carolina.

He's one of the few people around here who has a sense of humor and whose ego isn't so large that you have to have a second conference room to accomodate it.

 

[oybolshoi]

Seriously people...I'm running out of things to say here.
