Roll Call. Oct.19,02 Cruisers Continued...

[DisneylandDarren]

Julie - I got my list the morning, oh it's always so exciting getting post from the US! Thankyou!!!

 

[DisneylandDarren]

Why is that Port Canaveral webcam pointing at the water again! It's just my luck, I want to see if they have moved the Disney Magic back into port again. I know that I read somewhere that they just moved it out to let the Wonder in.

 

[Kristaia]

O.K., I do have an excuse. While away on T-giving holiday, David decided to "switch over" computers. Needless to say, this may be great for him, but he** for me.
None of my links are on yet, and get this...I was not even logged into the dis boards. Horror upon horror!
I am trying to deal with this split keyboard thing, yikes...

Bonnie: Talking of gems, I think the prize for staying gone the longest should be gems of all types.

Barb: I do hope Jaymee gets well soon.

Diana: I am so sorry to hear about your father. I do hope all goes well with surgery and the trip down. I will send you that picture of the family soon. I promise.

Julie: Wow, organized to the hilt, and at Christmas time to boot. I got the list, and I have my present ready to mail today. When is the opening date?

We had a great T-giving weekend. OKState whipped the Sooners, and looks like our bowl may be in, guess where, ORLANDO! Hope we can go. We will be there next may, but staying over at Sea World, for a conference. Anyone going in May?
Are we all still up for Oct. 2004? If we book soon will they give us the sicky discount? Maybe we should all bombard them with e-mails that we actually started the whole stomache thing, and see what they offer. HaHa

I am so glad to hear from all of you and I see my buddy list is growing.

Tata for now,
Krista

Morning everyone. Cute smiley, Julie. My daughter would love it. She is all about Pooh. The other twin is all about Mickey and company. Boy, are they DIFFERENT in all aspects. Twins??? You would never know!

Bonnie, that was not nice. You tell us you did something to the other dudettes and didn't even let us in. You better come clean when you can. Suspense is killing us!

I am in for a recipe exchange! I love recipes. Oh, I know, I know!! Our personal secretary, Julie, could write the book. Thanks for volunteering Julie. Just kidding, we can figure something out without putting you through the abuse!!!! My peanut brittle recipe is a family secret but I suppose that I could share it with my new best friends.

Darren is certainly getting in the mood. Ted put out the lawn ornaments yesterday. The tree is soon to come. Don't worry, Susan. You aren't the only one!

Time to get going. Have to drop off the pic for the Christmas cards, mail gifts, go to the library, etc. You get it, I have things to do.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Did anyone hear that another cruise ship in the Carnival line was hit with the same illness....sure sounds like someone is doing it...4 different ships.

 

[Mickey02]

Happy Monday!!!!!!!!

Like to say I am thrilled to be at work but I would be lieing.
I am however glad I'm not out spending lots of money!

Boy did we sure pick the right time to go on a cruise! I would be a little leary if I had a cruise scheduled right now.

Krista-Good to see you back!

Patty- Where are you???

Yes the reunion cruise for Oct 2004 is on!! By then all this sickness nonsense will be over. Time to start saving!!!

 

[Denine]

The tree is up! It is so pretty. Kaleigh loves the twinkling lights, she just smiles. Still need to put the Mickey wreathes up outside. Too cold and snowy! Supposed to get another 1-3" tonight. I think we already have 2.

Now, I just need to write out Christmas cards, wrap presents and finishe shopping. Just the dad's to go and we know what we are getting them. A trip to the mall tomorrow to get Lilo & Stitch!

Another Cleveland team bites the dust. Where's the loyalty????? Jim Thome is a sell out!!!!!!!

We will be in Disney in May. We still want to go before that but we don't know if we can swing it.

 

[disneydudette1]

And it came all the way from England!!!!!!! Wow! You're better than me Darren. YOu put my to shame!!!

Krista... I will email everyone to tell them. I don't want to post it. But who knows, it may not came to fruition (I hate not having spell check!)

October 2004 is on. We should really band together to see if we could get a group discount.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

What a great idea to try for a group discount! Sure wouldn't hurt! Plus, we are all repeat cruisers. When does the 2004 fares come out?

Wow, Denine, you are sure getting snow. Sure wish we would so we could end the drought. If we don't get ALOT we will not be permitted to water our lawn next summer. I hate the thought of that! We are original owners and remember what it took to get it going. WATER and lots of time.

Usually have my Christmas cards out but we are late this year. Didn't get pics taken until late. It has become tradition to send the picture kind. One year I didn't and disappointed a few so for my final year with the girls I decided to go with it again.

Sally, sure makes you wonder if someone could infect all these ships. But, they assure everyone that it is common in the cold months.

Good to FINALLY hear from you, Krista. I still think we need to invest in a new computer, also. This is still not working the greatest!

Hey, Christmas at Lori's. Anyone game? Let's try Ben's new fryer. He can show off his cooking skills. I want pecan pie so bad so Susan can bring that.

I want to go with the Dudette's next week. PLEASE?? PRETTY PLEASE??? PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP????

 

[disneydudette1]

You just want to see how my secret pans out!!!!!! LOL

I wish you could all come along with us!! That would be soooo much fun! You want to hear screaming you should hear me on the rides!! Jeanne says every picture always looks the same with me. Head thrown back, eyes closed and mouth wide open!

I wish we had snow. Laurie just told me they're getting more tonightalso. We never see the ****e stuff anymore. I miss it>

 

[Schrolls]

Official work from the MD, it's bronchitis!! I got 3 prescriptions today so I should be feeling much better in a few days!!!! Now Paul can leave me alone and stop saying "GO TO THE DOCTOR!"

Maybe more from me tomorrow. Going to bed now with my codeine cough syrup!!

They're calling for wintry mix and ICE Wednesday and Thursday. Like I said, we rarely get snow in NC.

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Sandy, are you asking how to do the smilies within the message, or the bigger pictures at the end of each post?
Thanks for switching Bonnie. The dancers were making my eyeballs spin a bit, too. Had to scroll them just off the screen to read.
Yes Denine. We get different types of snow. Here in town, it depends on the temperature and humidity I think. The ski areas get different types too. Steamboat Springs is know for it's "Champagne powder". Spring snow in the other areas is "Chowder Powder"
Bonnie, the way I spell check, (when I remember and have that extra 10 seconds) by cut/pasteing it to my mail page and let that do the spell check. Then I cut/paste it back into the post.
Nice to hear the extra Christmas spirit coming thru, Darren.
Dudettes, when will you be home from WDW?
Happy Codiene Dreams Susan. Feel better soon. Healing wishes for everyone.
Take care everyone.

 

[DisneylandDarren]

Firstly,

Bonnie - Great to hear you got my Christmas card!!

I got to work today to find all the Christmas decorations were up, very festive, also I was very excited as we have started chocolate-orange McFlurries and they are soooo good (See I get excited about these small things!)

Very interesting about Canival now getting the virus problem, It seems to be really making the rounds!

Still no snow yet here, but it's getting colder...

 

[Kristaia]

I received a Castaway Club flier today (my first one ever, by the way), that was offering pretty good deals next fall. No stateroom credits though. I think it started at $799 per person, cat. 11 or 12, for the 7-night eastern. I think this was good, anyone?
Can't talk hubby into it yet.
Denine, when will you all be there in May, and where?
Are you all sending your gifts yet? I am getting antsy.
Krista

 

[Olando]

UPS Finally Came!!!

Thank god the cute little brown truck arrived tonight with the 3rd and final box of my new computer. The dinosaur has now been officially laid to rest!! I got everything hooked up except the printer/scanner that I had. SOMEONE in the house has hid the printer cable on me, so tomorrow its off to Best Buy for a new one!!

Everything is SO MUCH faster that I am sure to be on more often.


We are supposed to get 5-6 inches of new snow tonight and with winds of 15-20 mph conditions should be horrible. I even got John to squeeze out of work a little early to take Kristen to dance class tonight!! I hate driving in this stuff!!!

Have a good night and stay warm......I am trying too!!

 

[disneydudette1]

The Dudettes will be in WDW Dec 7th thru the 13th. Except Joyce. She won't get there until the 8th. I am counting on all of you to cip in and keep this going!!!!

Krista!!!!!! Twice in one day!!!!!!! WOW!

Darren-Chocolate and Orange McFlurries??? Interesting...I think?

Laurie-SEND SNOW!!! I want some. Now you can post more and lurk less. Altho I think you're doing much better now!! Maybe I should try lurking. Then you all would wonder what has happened ot me!

Sue-happy to hear you will be feeling tip top by the time we get back.

Who will join Sue in the morning for the coffee clacth while I'm gone? I don't want her to get lonely!

 

[DisneylandDarren]

Oh i'm soooo excited!!!!

I've just been on ticketmaster's uk website and booked at ticket for this Wednesday to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast on tour in Manchester!

I've got a great seat a few rows back from the front (row C) .

I'm all for this last minute planning!!!

Sorry couldn't resist posting about this!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Take me with, Darren. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites. Wow, good seats! Choc-orange mcflurries. I just don't know.

Laurie, glad I am not the only one that hates to drive in the snow. I have a 4 wheel drive suburban and still HATE it. I pretty much don't go anywhere unless I have to. I do drive my preschooler that I babysit for to school and that is about it. I make sure I have plenty of groceries in the house in the winter time.

Bonnie, you don't have a lurker bone in your body. You couldn't take it for more than one day!!!

Sue, keep up with meds. You'll be doing fine soon.

I got the same flier, Krista. I THINK that I did better this last time than what they are quoting. We were in a Cat 10, secret porthole room. I am remembering that we paid like 400 or 600 something. Yes, I have sent my gift and I believe someone already got theirs.

Lori, I am talking about both. I messed around tonight and couldn't even do the smilies. So dumb, so dumb. When I thought I got it, I would post reply. When the post came back it had the address to click on not the smiley. I just deleted my post. Haven't had time to attempt the clip art for the signature. Saw that Julie got it. Way to go, Julie! I will have to wait and try in a couple of days. Can't do too much tomorrow with the little ones around.

Sweet dreams everyone. Talk to you in the morning. Sandy
