Podcast Cruise 2.0 Discussion Thread Deux

This is what Toy R Us USA have on-line - I love the bags and journals, they have just added the necklaces and plush toys - really hope I get an answer and that they do them over here. My e-mail was forwarded to the international Logistics and Franchise Management Team - so hopefully I'll hear something soon

Happy Monday to you too!

Those are too cute! I hadn't seen or heard anything about them before. I haven't been in a Toys R Us in YEARS- guess I'll have to make a stop now and see what is actually in the stores. Oh, and I need a new bag...

These little cuties were first made public at the D23 Expo which I followed through someones Twitter page. As soon as I saw them I was hooked and I would love to make this my new collection I so hope they will make them available over here - they would do so well
I'm still keeping my eye on E-bay, so far 1 seller has had them but they would only ship within the US

Let me know what bag you go for - I think I like the Eeyore one the best

Happy Monday folks!

Still need to get out and see Avatar ourselves. Maybe this weekend.

Did you get a chance to get out and see it, George?

Avatar looks really good - let me know what you think.

No spoilers here so as not to ruin it, but generally I thought of it as Pocahontas with blue people. DH it and couldn't believe I said that I have to admit the graphics were seamless and the attn to the flora details were impressive; worth seeing for this alone. However, I was never invested in the movie, like I was with LoTR, Up, etc. It will prolly win Oscars in the technical categories, IMHO.

Jason, I have wanted to go to the Sesame Theme park since Logan was little!!

I've wanted to go to Sesame Street since I was little!!! I didn't know one existed. I absolutely the Muppets. Ohhhh, I am SOOOOOO gonna get us to Hershey Park now

We catalogued them at the same time and we've got almost 600

okay, I guess I won't complain about DH's collection anymore

Did our service for Give a Day, Get a Day this weekend. There were supposed to be 15 volunteers and I was so mad when only 6 of us showed up at 9am. I felt they were giving us Disney-lovers a bad rep Okay, I may take this Disney thing too personally As it turns out there were 2 postings and the other one was for 10am, and the volunteer coordinators didn't know.

The agency runs a green demolition outfit, with community gardens, etc. Us early birds, worked inside helping at their partially renovated office. We did a lot of printing, cutting, laminating, folding for a big promo they're having next weekend. Extreme Makeover did a house in Buffalo a few weeks ago and the episode airs on Sunday (24th). The agency did the demolition of the house in 15 hours, which is a record, and was the first green demo that Extreme Makeover has ever done. There's a gala gala do at the theatre downtown to celebrate and watch the episode - many "firsts" were done for this locale so the epsidode is 2 hrs. We did the flyers, etc that are going to be handed out at this event, plus things they need for their spring campaign.

I also sealed the tile grout in the bathroom for them and was going to grout the bathroom tiles downstairs but they couldn't find the trowel for it...but I prepped it so they're ready to go as soon as they find their tools

Others who came later, worked in the expansive warehouse/store: unloading trucks, helping with compost and snow removal, taking hardware off doors, etc. It was a good time, esp. since 3 staff were celebrating their birthdays so we got to eat Actually, one of the young volunteers, a 10 yr old girl, frosted the cakes for them.

Make it a great week folks!

cheers,

So Avatar is ok, doubt we'll see it as I already want to see Princess and the Frog, Alice in Wonderland and I may see if we can go see Toy Story 2 3D (they have released them seperately over here) and we're trying to cut back on spending

I know what you mean about Sesame Street - I grew up with it

Yeah I didn't realise we had so many CD's - although despite DH and I liking the same bands we only had about a dozen duplicates when we met

Well done for voluntEARing It's such a shame we can't do that here, even if we didn't get a reward I'd still love to be able to give back (I know I should do something anyway, but this would be a great way to encourage people like me to help out)
And so cool that it was linked with Extreme Makeover - Home Edition I'll look out for a 2 hour special when they show it over here

Happy Monday folks!

Did you get a chance to get out and see it, George?

Hi Karen. Sorry you didn't get into Avatar like Robert did. Deb and I haven't seen it yet. She wanted to go today since we both have MLK Day off as a holiday. Unfortunately snow got in the way of that. I've spent the better part of the day dealing with snow removal and any comfy theater chair would be instant nap. I can do that at home for free.

We will try for this coming weekend.

This has been the longest weekend of my life.

Long story short, went for my annual doctor visit on Thursday and she felt a lump in my breast. I had to wait until today for the appointment because I didn't have anyone to watch the kids until today as Chris was home for the holiday.

Got the all clear and can stop being a nervous nellie. Whew!

Good morning everyone Happy Tuesday

We were trying to plan where we want to stay last night after the cruise and were hoping to get a 1 bed villa for part of the stay, however to save us using points from our next use year we're going for a studio instead as a 1 bed is almost double the points and there's only 2 of us. We could do it for a couple of nights but I think 4 different rooms is enough for one vacation - we'll have 2 nights pre-cruise, our stateroom and then hopefully AKL villas and then BLT. I'm not changing rooms again

Hope everyone else's plans are coming together.

Good Morning Everyone!
My holiday weekend turned into a work weekend, after the boss called me Friday night with a problem and a Rush print project. I had to come in on Saturday and figure out the problem with our equipment, make a service call after finding that we were out of a part I needed to fix one of the problems I found..Long story short, I had to wait until yesterday to get the part, got the part and the job printed. However, I identified another problem with our machine, so I had to place a new Service call, so the tech will be here first thing this morning.

I am hoping, I can get one of my Vacation Day's this month covered by my worked Holiday.

That sucks Tracey - not a great way to end your vacation I hope all the bugs are out and that from now on things go smoothly But if your machines are anything like our instruments here at work they lull you into a false sense of security and then go wrong - all together, all at once

The problem we have been experiencing requires these little tweaks to bring everything back into alignment after the part they replaced last week. Unfortunately, our machine has gotten very sensitive and these tweaks take a little longer than they use to.

 

[klam_chowder]

Happy Tuesday folks!

So Avatar is ok, doubt we'll see it

Well, maybe you shouldn't take my word for it...DH made a point of letting me know it won Golden Globes' Best Director & Best Motion Picture, Drama awards

Unfortunately snow got in the way of that. I've spent the better part of the day dealing with snow removal

Too bad you got more snow George We were just commenting yesterday that for the first time since we got back from vacation we were able to see our front lawn, thx to the heatwave we've been having: 38F

Got the all clear and can stop being a nervous nellie. Whew!

Glad it was all good news

We watched the highlights last night, if it was just wanting to / not wanting to see it I'd probably see it but with all the Disney movies coming I'd rather see those first - it cost's so much to see a movie these days, then you have the cost of gas to get there, food, extra for 3D
