Roll Call. Oct.19,02

[Schrolls]

Mickey02 - we have booked the Eastern Carribean again for 11/29/02 (Sat. after Thanksgiving).

Jeanne - you're doing a great job keeping up Bonnie's posting. I bet you won't be on for coffee with me in the a.m. But, that's OK. I'm not on duing the day at work so we are even. Bonnie said she sent you pictures. I hope you got everything OK. Tell Joyce we (the Schrolls say HI).

Pictures are on the way for you, Julie and Lori. This is only from my first batch.

I get the rest of my pictures back tomorrow. I'm gonna try to post a lot of them to webshots like Bonnie did so everyone can have access to them. More on that tomorrow night.

See ya later!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Wow, a blast from the past. Hi Garry, hope you are feeling better!

Susan, I love the way that Bonnie posted her pictures on the webshot. So-you might do it, also? Is there a way that you can print one from there?

 

[Schrolls]

Sandy - If you right-click on the picture you can either Save Picture As... or Print Picture.. or other options. Try that and see if it will work. I need a whole week just to get the albums set up. For the free features on the site, you can post only 24 photos per album and I think you can only have 4 or 5 albums. No way all of my pictures will fit on that. You can also choose to let everyone see the photos or only those you invite. I still need to do a little more research but that's what I know so far. When Bonnie returns, maybe she can give us more details if I still haven't gotten it all figured out.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

I am going on the Wonder Jan 2-5th with my other daughter and her family. It won't be a very long cruise but a cruise is a cruise.

We are spending 5 days at Disneyworld in a hotel across the street from Downtown Disney and will be there for New Years eve. This time my husband is going with me and Barb is dog sitting.

Hope all of you get over your bug soon.....

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Good pictures Bonnie! I have finally gotten over to look at them. Someday, my 'Prints' will come.... Maybe I'll figure out how to do an album too!

Hi Julie, it's our time of the night again. Sorry I just posted and ran last night. I'm getting SO sick of the phone ringing and it's political recordings. I think after 9PM, that should be cut off. I'm remembering WHO'S recordings they were and will express my opinion about them tomorrow. "Pay no attention to the growling woman behind the curtain".

Katie did really well today. Her throat got sore from all of the talking . I went in today at her lunch break to give her a neb treatment. She said that the first comment from a friend was, "Hey Katie, all the spots are gone off your face now!" Yep, the hives are finally under control with just Allegra now. We went to the daily Dr. check today after school, and her pulmonary function has flown up to 95%! Yea!!! Now I can start weaning her from the prednisone and she can go 6 hours between nebs. That means I get more sleep !!! She can try going without the oxygen too, which made her so happy, as she's been getting pretty tangled up in the tubing at night . It was harder to get untangled once I started making her wear her headgear over the top of it. LOL. I'm the meanest mommy in the world!

The dishes are calling to me. ( I DO miss Kristoff for clearing those dishes every night)

Talk to you all soon, Lori

 

[wildernessgirl]

Hi everyone! Sorry it's so late that I'm getting back to you. I've been making homemade soup all afternoon then I had to clean up the mess from it. With Makenzie and the Big Guy fighting for my attention, Garry having PT today I have been extremely busy! BUT my kitchen is finally clean!

I'm suppose to get my pictures tomorrow so as soon as I do, I will try to post them and email them to all! My pictures were to be done today, but they forgot to send them to get developed.

I heard from Denine today and she said that their first week has been very trying. Kaleigh has cried for most of the time and was off her schedule. Denine said that it was better today so hopefully Kaleigh will get back on her schedule. She said everyone keeps saying "welcome to parenthood". Denine said that Jerry is completely exhausted and she has a sinus infection and bronchitis. She's hanging in there and is hoping that Kaleigh will do much better this week. I'll keep you posted on how they are doing. Denine doesn't have much time to post so I'll try and help out in that department.

Susan I still didn't receive your pictures. I got the message about the failures, but no pictures. I'm sure when I get my pictures back, I will have the same problem.

Hi Lori! Sorry I didn't get on until now. I'm glad to see Katie had a good day! I thought about her all day! Keep us posted to how she does the rest of the week. I agree about this political ads! I can't wait for tomorrow to be over! I hate this time of year.

Jeannie: I'm glad to see that you are doing the dudettes proud! Keep on posting! I still can hear your laugh! There was so many great "events" that happened on the cruise that one little thing sets my mind a dreaming! You and the other dudettes are on our video tape and Makenzie goes nuts everytime she sees the dudettes on the tv.

Sandy, you will have to get me the name of that wonderful wine that you and Ted brought to the wine party. I know I probably won't be able to get it, but in case I ever see the name........
I'm glad to see that you and Ted are on the mend! Whatever got to all of us sure got us good. Garry, Makenzie and the big guy still have a cough!

Well everyone, I'm gonna go. I will check back in later today!

 

[Schrolls]

Julie, I tried again with the pictures. Hope you got them this time.

Good morning everyone. Have a great day.

The political ads, phone calls, and mail should subside today!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DisneyDudetteTwo]

The dog let me sleep until 6:50 this AM or I would have been on to be Sue's coffee buddy! Bonnie is having her coffee in Washington D.C. She will probably find a computer if I know her!

It's nice to see Garry is back! I think it should definately be in your Union Contract to wear Black Socks with your bicycle uniform.

Sandy: I received the pictures and love them! It was perfect timing since I have only gotten a few pages of the album finished which is the flight & the first day of the cruise. I'm glad you liked your pictures. I thought you wouldn't want to forget "Dance Lessons". There are so many FUN & FOND memories of the cruise!

The Dudettes may be the first ones going back to WDW. We will be at Disney from December 7th to the 13th. We got a great deal at The Dolphin $129.00 a night for Nurses or Teachers. We missed going to the park with the cruise so WHEN w do the cruise the next time we are going to add the park again.

I am rambling on....... Have a great day! Toodles Jeanne (alias Disney Dudette #2)

 

[disney6]

Morning.

Sending all kids to school today! (except Annika - she went yesterday). Glad Katie did well - what a nightmare! Hopefully it'll all be a distant memory soon!

Better to the kids going or they will be late!

Have a good day!

 

[DisneylandDarren]

Hi all!!!

Well I have to say it's a bit depressing to be home in the very grey UK but I had a great time at WDW although I really did miss the ship and all of you. The worst bit was that I arrived at the All Star Sports resort at little depressed but I thought I'd turn on the TV and watch that great WDW planning channel to really get me in the WDW mood whilst unpacking (for the second time!). So I pressed the on button on the TV and screen lit up with a picture of the Disney Magic as it was on the "Disney Cruise Line and future Disney Vacations" channel so I ended up spending 20 minutes remenicing all the great times on-board, It was actually great fun seeing St. Maarten and St. Thomas again and all the ship and It was great to switch on during the week to see the ship again.

Well there is soooo much I could tell you but my mind is still in a bit of a spin with jet-lag so I'll have to spread it over a few posts and of course get ready for my ultra trip report coming soon....

The flight home went well, I even slept on the plane (which is very unusual for me). The train journey from the airport to home in Loughborough was a nightmare though!!! I ended up having to change trains about 5 times because they closed a whole section of the train line down and I had to go a completely different way, and with the amount of baggage I had it was not fun!

Well I'll post again very soon!!!! I was so great meeting you all and I think I had to say it was the greatest vacation ever for me!!! I'm now counting down the days until February when I have my Disney Cruise Line interview!

By the way, what's going on, everyone seems to be sick at the moment! It's like before the cruise all over again . I hope everyone is feeling better soon!

P.S.
Why is Cinderella so bad at football?
...Because she has a pumpkin for a coach

 

[Mickey02]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to get a Castaway Club member #?

I went to the Disney website to get prices on another cruise and you need a # to get into the Castaway club part.

Also while we were at Disney my husband and I looked into the Disney vacation club. We will be joining in November. I know Denine and Jerry are members is anyone else? Does anyone have any input about the Disney vacation club?

Barb

 

[disney6]

DVC is great! Without it we would never have been able to cruise ~ twice now! We joined May 2000, cruised Oct. 2000 and did a big add on while on the cruise then!
On this cruise my parents bought into the club ~ we had no idea they would even consider it so never said anything about it to them! We are thrilled for them. They are cruising the Western next Oct/Nov. I WANT TO GO WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Home Darren! Do you interview for particular positions or just what they have available at the time?

 

[Mickey02]

Thanks Schrolls for the input. I have heard nothing but positive
responsives from members. I am very excited about joining. We are thinking of buying 200 points to start with does that sound resonable?

I am soooo bummed that we missed the wine party! You all sound like you had so much fun and really bonded!
I can't even believe we forgot it. All the excitement of the cruise I guess.

Barb

 

[Mickey02]

OOps!!!

I mean Thanks Disney6.

I am soo sorry.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

yea, it does sound like we missed out but I guess the upside is none of us got sick....lol

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Welcome home, Darren. I think we all missed you! Sorry about your train ride. I bet it was difficult!

Julie, the type of wine is Moscato. I am not sure of the exact brand as we bought a different one that time. I am planning on buying more so will let you know the brand. Sutter Home has a cheaper version. We like it but not as much as the more expensive brands.

Diana and Lori, glad the kids are at school and doing good.

Susan, thanks so much for the advice on the pictures. You have been a lot of help! I tell you, as a homebody, I never need to right click so I just don't know the ins and outs. You are great!

Bye!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Julie, look for a pm. I sent you one. Sandy

 

[DreamsDoComeTrue]

Wow, so much to respond to, in just a day!
Jeanne, good going!
Julie, Soup sounds good. Think AmEx could get it here still warm?
_ _ __Here's a short football joke for you all.

Anthrax Scare For Chicago Bears!

CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago Bears football practice was delayed
nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an
unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head
coach Dick Jauron immediately suspended practice while police
and federal investigators were called to investigate. After
a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the
white substance unknown to players was the goal line. Practice
was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely
to encounter the substance again. Ahh Haa ha.

Hey Darren,

Why is Cinderella so bad at football?

VERY good! I'll have to pass that one on to Katie!
SO glad you are home. Please let us all write you letter's of recommendation. One thing though, you must get a position that utilizes your vast knowledge of Disney. Like running the trivia challenges at night! Don't hide that talent under a bushel!
Hi to everyone! Love you! Have a great day.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Cute signature, Lori!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Jeanne, don't work on your photo album. I will send the pics of Dawn beach and Magan's Bay tomorrow. Didn't realize that you wanted them when I mailed the others. Keep up the posting and tell Joyce, Hi.
