I have worked in geriatrics for the past 8 yrs. The streakers I see on a daily basis! I would be rich from the book royalties if the gov't hadn't stopped me!

Thanks for bringing me up to speed. Count us in on the Fish Extender Exchange and the Halloween treat bags.

Nicole, my kids will also be happy to hear about your kids being the same age as them. It certainly helps the vacation go smoother when the kids are content and have little friends of their own to play with.

Cheers,
Rexanne

Hi Everyone:

We will be joining you on the Halloween cruise in October 2008. Valerie (Newfiemom) convinced us to take our 2nd Disney cruise; not that it took much convincing.

Janice, please add us to the list:
Rexanne, DH Greg, DS (12), and DD (10)

Cheers,
Rexanne

aboard Rexanne and family.. My DS (vito) is also 12 and my DD(Angelina) is 10!!! My son will turn 13 the month before we cruise and is really worried about what to do. He is really into video games so I am hoping he opts to hang out in the Ocean Quest.
My daughter doesn't do the clubs she is disabled and unable to participate in the group activities.

I have worked in geriatrics for the past 8 yrs. The streakers I see on a daily basis!

I'm a gerontologist, and also a psych nurse practitioner. We need to get together and tell some stories!

Shrpgrl, I can't believe how you are penalized for being sick. I hope you are able to come on this cruise.

LoveableGluttons, congrats on starting your Masters! PM me your email, and I'll send you a copy of Guidelines for Academic Tipping. It's the funniest paper you will ever read, and no grad student should be without it.

CurlyKate and Newfiemom, we were on the April '06 cruise with Suzie too. We hosted the Official Hospitality Suite of the SteveMed Fan Club; I can't remember who all came to the DIS-meet, but that was our room.

Agraygirl, welcome back. See, we notice when you're gone!


Suzie, I am very happy that we will be riding to the ship with you. This weekend the Pirate and I drove to CA to see his folks. It's about 500 miles. We could have gone straight on the freeway and been there in 7hrs. But oooohhhh nooooo, we have to test out Jon's latest toy: a GPS on his Blackberry that he calls "Betty". Betty has a sexy voice, and I think he has a little crush on her.

Anyway, Betty steers us off the freeway and sends us to a tiny little road with a covered bridge and a loud, scary goose that stands taller than Big Bird. Do we turn back to the freeway? Ooohhh noooo. The Pirate would rather trust the sexy voice of Betty. Then we notice that we have to drive *over* a mountain. Do we find another road? Ooohh noooo, not even when we pass the "chains required" sign, which of course we don't have. We don't even have snow tires, not that Betty cares. Ooohhh noooo, we drive on snow and ice, blindly trusting Betty's sexy voice. The Pirate doesn't even flinch when we notice that the only other vehicles on the road are snow plows.

Betty sends us around Crater Lake. Aaaallll the way around Crater Lake, this when we are only going from Portland to Sacramento, which is a straight shot on a really big freeway. But we do what Betty says, and we limp into our destination a mere 14 hours later. Yes, fourteen. I swear I'm throwing Betty overboard if he even thinks about taking her to Florida. We'll let Jon and Ed take Betty, and you and I will take the limo.

See, Sue, another reason I don't drive when I'm not in my home area!!! "Betty" would have been tossed out the window at the first turn I didn't agree with!!! Jon and his toys or should I say: Boys and their toys!

***Don't call me a back seat driver! I'm in the front seat!!***

You're a good woman to stick with it and not hijack the car! Can't wait to see how he makes it up to you! Hey, how about a trip to the East Coast, say the DC area this summer? Hmmm....seems fair to me!

Lordy, Sue, only 7 more months! I just can't stand the wait! MCO has no idea what trouble is headed their way! It feels so far away yet so close that I can taste it! Trouble is one bite is never enough, so BRING ON THE BUFFET!!!

We haven't told the girls about the party barge yet! I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when Gary pulls up! (It better be Gary, Ed made them promise!! We lost out to PhillyJen last cruise!) We're glad that you and Jon will be joining us, but please tell Jon to leave "Betty" at home! Three's a crowd, ya' know?!

(btw: expect your package soon)

I'll pm you now!

By the way.... about Betty...

Last year, on our infamous trip to Florida from Montana and our first Disney cruise, DH borrowed a coworker's "TomTom"


DH swore he HAD to get a GPS, while I disagreed.

After having that thing yap at us nonstop, DH has since returned that blasted thing and given up his obsession with having a GPS now.

I read your accounting of where Betty led you and wasn't at all surprised! Betty and TomTom are so naughty!

 

[shrpgrl]

I hate the GPS. My DH had to have one. He only goes to work and home but I finally gave in. It is not allowed in my van. In Feb. when we went on our cruise my mom brought hers along. We only used it when we got close to Tampa to find the port. It was too bossy and took us down some very questionable streets. I let her plug it in to get us to the highway from the port but I unplugged it as soon as possible. Can't see why people like them.

 

[dizzi]

[PaDisneyCouple]

I'll pinch that penny til it shrieks!

On a quiet evening in Central Pa, if you listen closely, you can hear the pennies at our house.
