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

[Kristaia]

Thanks to Julie's new found affinity to clip art, all of you can see how beautiful our home is. Now when someone makes a joke about having no teeth or marrying my brother, you can point them to the beautiful sunset pic.

Actually I have a funny story from ESPN Zone on the Boardwalk. There was a Miami Dolphin player there doing an interview and Clare asked a question in front of the whole crowd, "Do you know Dan Marino?" He loved it and answered well. The other anchor, in the bar area made a crack at Arkansas, " See that little girl? That's the last time you will see her with all of her teeth!" We laughed and thought it was humorous.
About 1 minute later the anchor had to come back on and read an apology statement. We got free t-shirts and lunch. HeeHee.
See, it pays to live in a joke-ridden place.

Dudettes: I am jealous, have fun.
Patty and Ken: I am so sorry for your sister. Keep up her spirits. I have had too many relatives with this awful disease.

Good Day to all,
Krista

Lite beer, nope not for me. Can't address your topic today, Garry. Sorry but I HATE beer and don't touch regular or lite beer.

Susan, sure are hoping you are doing ok. Have been thinking about you. Check in when you can!

Too funny, Krista. T-Shirt and lunch, can't beat that!

I, too, am familiar with diabetes. I have lost several relatives due to it. My mom has it. Her eyesight is going and has severe other medical problems related to it. Not fun. That is why I HAVE to lose my weight or I will be a victim, also.

Laurie, where are you????

Jeanne, I worried about you driving in that storm yesterday and what do you do but go out for some "me time" today. I won't worry today! Actually, spa time sounds heavenly. Let us know all about it.

Miss you, Lori. You just have to give up your job!

Time for my haircut. My DD's are going, too. Haven't done that since they were small. Should be fun. Haircut and lunch. Maybe, we can sneak in some shopping, too.

Have a good day everyone.

Hey Sandy!! I sent Lori a website from our local new station on how to do the turkey in the fryer. Have her try it out on you and Ted first and then invite the rest of us. Caution: Bring a fire extinguisher and asbestos gloves!!! LOL

You know.... I have been feeling kinda depressed this week....... How about the rest of you............Dudettes at Disney this week and we are stuck at home.........

Garry: Tastes great / Less Filling?? I live right outside of Milwaukee -- the home of breweries, and I hate beer! The problem is, one beer and I am done. Its good for cooking Brats in.....A nice brat, hot off the grill then simmered in beer and onions......OH NO!!!! More Cooking talk!! See what you started with this manly talk!!

Happy St. Nick!!

 

[Kristaia]

Does anyone have the photo release sheet from Disney?
I need it asap, and the board search is not working.

Krista,
The name was Shutters if you do a search on line for their web site. Jeanne got pictures copied without a release. NO problem.


SHHH guess where I am

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Krista, I couldn't find the website but found a toll free number that you could call for the website. It is 1-800-772-3470. Good luck! On our first cruise we DID need a release. I think it depends on who is attending the Kodak machines. Technically, you don't need one because it is not stamped by Shutters.

Laurie, so you want Ted and I to be the guinea pigs, huh? Is that what friendship is about???

 

[Schrolls]

Just a quick note to let you all know I haven't fogotten you all. We are in a state of emergency in our city. more than 50% are without electricity. We lost ours around 4:30am Thurs. I am staying at my brother's house so I don't get pneumonia. I did go backto the doctor's today. They did an X-ray - no pneumonia but on and I still have bronchitis, sinus infection and fluis in my ears. More drugs - albuterol inhaler, different cough medicine (codeine didn't help), and Tusselon (sp) pearls. Still on the antibiotic.

Don't know when I'll be able to check in again. We are leaving for the wedding rehearsal in about an hour. The church does not have electicity but we are hopeful it will be back on by tomorrow. If not, they are working on a contingency plan.

I'll read the last umpteen pages of the thread when I can get back online at home. They say it may be a week or more before everyon has their power back. Hope everyone else is OK!!!

 

[disneydudette1]

I have been so worried!!! I'm happy to hear you are all doing OK but sorry to hear you are still so sick!!! Been there/done that as the Dudettes can tell you I can get very sick. I empathize with you! At least I can go to WDW knowing you are all ok... I was so worried that I was going to take the phone number and call from down there!

I still have to finish packing!!!!!!!!! This is not like me but it is tough this time of year because you don't know what to pack plus I am trying to fit everything in the carryon and back pack with the 3 plane changes!

In case I don't get to post tonight before I leave (Yeah right!) I will miss you all terribly and I wish you were all going to be there with us

Beer???? Hate the stuff! Although I do like beer bread.

 

[Olando]

Sue --
Take care of yourself!!! I can't imagine all of the chaos that you have going on just before the holidays. You have to get better now or you won't be able to enjoy all of the festivities that the season has to bring.

Sandy -- Yes, I guess that you guys will have to be the official taste testers, and then you can share with us just how great it was.....

 

[Denine]

Sue: Glad to here your are OK! Also glad to hear you don't have pneumonia. Been there, done that. I never felt so sick in my life. I had a 104 fever. I usually get bronchitis and a sinus infection together. Lately, I am always sick on New Years. But, I have have my antibiotic already filled, just in case.

Dudettes: Have a great time in WDW!!!!

Patti & Ken: My prayers for Sue. I come from a family of diabetics. I only pray that I don't get the disease!

Had my first eggnog last night, yum!

Beer: Yuck!!!! My dad used to let us have sips of beer when we were little. I liked it. Little did I know that the first sip is the only good sip. My MIL says I am supposed to like beer because I went to college.

The Mickey wreaths are getting put up outside tomorrow!

 

[disneydudette1]

I guess everyone has a life except me!!!
Of course I'm trying desperately to stuff a weeks worth of clothes (you know me with the clothes!) in a carry on and knapsack. If only I didn't have the Dudettes sweatshirts I might make it!

Denine-good to hear form you. Looks like you're settling into life as a mother and able to get on the boars a little more than in the beginning. I got the Christmas card today. Thank you .

My CHristmas cards won't be sent out until I get back. I want to see if I can make my own on the computer with a WDW pic. I just want to make you all jealous!

Thank heavens Jeanne has me! She thought she was flying out early tomorrow morning but her flight isn't until 2:55 PM!

Back to packing!

 

[wildernessgirl]

Glad to see that you are at least safe Susan! I hope you will better soon! I know how it feels when you are so sick!

I told Garry that his topic wasn't too good today. He will come up with some better ones this weekend.

I will miss you dudettes! I will try to post more to make up for the MIA's. Sure wish I was going with you! Make sure you take warm clothes too! My grandmother said that it's pretty cold down there for Florida. Some night have reached into the forty's

I was thinking that we could start sending recipes for the cookbook, but nothing would be put together until after the holidays if that is ok. Sally and I still are going to try to figure out how we can do this together. I think the majority wants all types of recipes, so start looking in you files for your favorites!

I'm getting another sinus infection! Just in time for the holidays! Wouldn't have it any other way! On Sunday I'm taking the kids to get their pictures taken. This should be interesting. Tomorrow I'm taking the Big Guy to get his hair cut. We got it cut at WDW just before the cruise, but it grows so fast!

Be back later!

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Bonnie, I got your chat invite but with it came a notice that I would have to upgrade my aol version to go! Whaaa. Maybe I'll have to go ahead and do that. My computer is so slow, I've not bothered to do it.

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Lite beer, Yuk. I love good beer. Dark ambers, rich and full. Haven't found a lite beer that can do that.

[disneydudette1]

Maybe I'll have to go ahead and do that. My computer is so slow, I've not bothered to do it.

Don't do it then. It may take up too much memory and really slow you down.


WIll do one last post in the morning.

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

Sue, hope you get better soon. When you feel like you do, you can't remember what it feels like to feel normal.

Julie and I chatted with Bonnie tonight and had a blast. Everyone make sure to ask her about getting yelled at in the confessional when she gets back.

As far as lite beer goes, I have to say I'm not a big fan either. I'm actually not a big beer drinker (used to be in my younger days!). I have acquired a taste for a good cold Guinness now and then. It takes some getting use to though and couldn't be any more different than lite beer.

Brats cooked in beer, now that sounds good. Might have to try that at the next Browns tailgate party.

Well, I think I'll give everyone the weekend off with manly topics. Will you be able to stand the suspense until the next topic is revealed Sunday night?

 

[wildernessgirl]

Let's see if we can finish the song before the dudettes get back!


99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer....
take one down, pass it around...... 98 bottles of beer on the wall!

Or should we try wine?

 

[wildernessgirl]

Look, IT'S GARRY:

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

Oh my god...someone must stop her.

 

[disneydudette1]

Off to see the mouse!!!! Yes I will miss you all but Julie told me where we can send a virtual postcard. If I can stop the other Dudettes for a minute we'll send one!

Everyone make sure to ask her about getting yelled at in the confessional when she gets back.

Garry!!!! It sounds as if I did something terrible!!!!!!

Julie-I love Garry's picture! Looks just like him!

Krista-the moment I met you, David and Clare I dismissed all preconceived nothions of people from Arkansas! Anyway, my mom has friends who live there so I knew all couldn't be toothless with old sofa's on the porch.

Goodby all!!! Diana and Sue I sure hope you all are back when we get home! I miss you all. Goodbye-Krista, Laurie, Lori, Patti alias Patty, Mom, Barb, Sandy, Ted, Julie, Garry, Denine! Did I forget anyone?

TTFN!!!!!
