lmao: Sorry I had to add a laughing smilie as the word "shag" in the UK has a rude meaning.)

Claire - glad I'm not the only one who read that eBay description and giggled

I'm glad I wasn't the only one too....I am such a child!

Well, I thought the same thing. Adolescent minds think alike!

Tortola to Jost VanDyke Excursion ---

Got the answer back on transferring cameras to shore --

"Yes - they both get close to shore and we care all of your items to
shore for you in water tight containers - during the winter season we do
this trip nearly everyday so we have a good routine that takes care of
everyone"

Thats brilliant

Hey Karen, they were on the Dream in January but i'm not sure if they were just for the new ship as they had lots of exclusive SHAG merchandise. Mary will be back any day now so hopefully she will be able to report if they are on the Magic.

I am wondering what it refers to in the USA? Clearly something completely different !

Ugly carpeting from the 70's?

I always think of the UK meaning. I've obviously watched too much Eddie Izzard.

Noel - I emailed the Word doc to you and shared the Google doc. But as usual, Outlook had to give me a message about having an unsent message when the thing I think I've sent is right there in my "Sent Messages" list. So please let me know if the Word doc and email haven't come through.

I love computers when things work easily. I hate them when they give me confusing messages. I'm confused enough by life already.

Pat I registered for a google account so you should have my request to join pending for approval.

LOL at the carpet!

I can hear Eddie saying it now, he is funny. I guess you wouldn't have seen the TV programme about it as it was probably only on in the UK but did you hear about the Marathon challenge he did last year?

with me, its part childish and part dirty mind.....

Pat - Maybe it's just me but when I download the files, unzip them & the folders are empty???

Ummmm... Can you try downloading it as PDF or Word? From the Google docs page, click on "File" and "Download as." I can never figure out unzipping things (well, computer files, anyway). When I tried downloading as HTML, it didn't work, but PDF and Word came out fine.

If that doesn't work, we'll have to ask all those people who said this was an easy way to share the list.

No, I didn't hear about that! I absolutely adore Eddie. We saw him live in Atlanta a couple of years ago. He was fabulous, of course, though he was reclaiming his "male side," so no great clothes or heels, but he did have his eyeliner on.

do i click on download files or download pages?

Beats the heck outta me. Give me a minute. I'm going to try something.

It was amazing - he ran 43 marathons in 51 days!!!!! (Over 1100 miles ) He ran them for charity & raised over £200,000 (Approx $320,000) I've no idea how on earth he managed it considering he didn't even do any training!!!

Okay, you should have received an email with the link to the document. You can't access it directly from the Group page. I logged in with a different username to see what you were seeing. Open the doc in Google, click on "File" and "Download as" and you'll see your options for how to download. I've done it with Word and PDF, and both came out fine. I couldn't do a thing with HTML, and Text just came out ugly.

Wow. I'm impressed! I always thought he was pretty hot, but I had no idea he was in such great shape! "You must get up very early. I can't even make it down to the gym."

 

[Pinky166]

I can see it now......I went in through the email as suggested.

Awesome work Pat.

Oh, good! Thank you, I think it came out alright.

I'm wondering if people can just click on the Documents link at the top of the group page or if I have the actually "share" it with everyone. I just tried it with my alternate Google user name, and I could access it. Which doesn't mean a thing, because the cyber-gremlins love to mess with me.

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!
We got back on Friday, very tired from driving. Our trip was great though, the Blue Ridge Mountains (Appalachia) in Virginia were very scenic and the weather was perfect. LOTS of fireflies (which we don't see in FL) and they reminded me of The Princess & the Frog - "Evangeline!" We hiked about 7 miles everyday and it was really fun, we also visited one of the Virginia wineries and it was lovely.

Of course I brought the laptop just so we could sign in and reserve Palo that Saturday. We got brunch and dinner, but I guess I should've done tea first b/c once we did brunch and dinner there were no tea reservations left. Oh well, maybe next time!

Thank you for all of the anniversary congratulations!

Since we didn't do an "anniversary dinner", we are thinking of going to Blue Zoo at the wdw Dolphin hotel next time we visit the world. Has anyone eaten there before?

I don't know if anyone remembers, but I finally solved my pie crust conundrum. I made a peach pie last night and the crust worked out fine - turns out I needed a little more water and a little more processing....no crust on the bottom of my stove this time

Lynne, having that summary is a godsend. I believe I was about 30 or 40 pages back since I hadn't checked the boards all last week.

Thanks,
the document is in my google docs now.
Now can I make my gifts ready. I am curious, because it is my first time for all of this.
