Morning everyone!!!

3 MORE DAYS TILL THE FLIP FLOPPIN CASTAWAYS TAKE OVER THE MAGIC!!!

Hope everyone is having fun getting ready to go. I know I am. Hopefully the way things are looking right now, I should have all my work done by tomorrow. If not, it will still be done by the time I leave here on Thursday.

Later everyone,

In break from class....

Lorra, I think Missy must have created "Frank and Lola", someone who started posting a while back but did not appear very often. So Missy IS Frank and Lola -

"Einhorn is Finkel! Finkel IS Einhorn!" (Any Ace Ventura fans out there?)

I refuse to feel stupid that I didn't get it and completely fell into Missy's ploy! I knew it all along - I just didn't want to spoil it for YOU guys! Yes, that's it!

Emily, I bowl just okay. Last night I got a 109, 136, and a 97. Whew! Very inconsistent. Usually my average is 118 or so. Not very lovely, but it gives me wiggle room during the season. Trish is a bowler too, you know!

I think that's all for me for now.

Oh, Karen, have a safe flight to Orlando tonight! And I'm thinking Jen is leaving soon too, so safe travels for you as well. I'll be here.... by myself..... on the boards...... but I don't mind...............

Frank and Lola
By: Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman
1982
"Lucy and Ricky, Fred and Ethel, Laurel and Hardy, Spanky
and Buckwheat, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Frank and Lola...
they're all good for a laugh."
Lola loves Frank, Frankie loves Lola
On their second honeymoon in Pensacola
Tryin' to find a little privacy
Oh me there been too much screamin', fussin' and fightin'
The doggies were yellin', the children were bitin'
Frank and Lola tryin' to get together again

So he took her to this movie called "Body Heat"
She said the Junior Mints were mushy and the sex was neat
Oh my, Frankie weren't we better than that, before our spat
Frank told Lola, honey can't you see
That I'll jump start you if you'll kick start me
Frank and Lola tryin' to get together again

So they strolled along the highway, they walked along the beach
They stopped at several raw bars where they slurped a dozen each
Bought a bunch of popcorn from the fat man on the dock
Baby turn back the pages, turn 'round the clock

Lola told Frankie time we put it to the test
After Frankie told Lola she was still the best
They fell asleep in the sand underneath the Florida moon, in June
Lola counted rainbows, Frankie counted sheep
'Til they almost got run over by the lifeguard's Jeep
Frank and Lola tryin' to get together again

Go, Frank, go
Lo la, lo
Go, Frank, go, wow

(instrumental)

So they strolled along the highway, they walked along the beach
Stopped at several raw bars where they slurped a dozen each
Bought a bunch of popcorn from the fat man on the dock
Baby turn back the pages, turn 'round the clock

Lola loves Frank, Frankie loves Lola
On their second honeymoon in Pensacola
Tryin' to find a little priva-
Tryin' to find a little priva-
Tryin' to find a little privacy

Go, Frank, go
Lo la, lo
Go, Mango

It actually couldn't have worked out better, Missy. It is funnier to find out now than on the ship.

Do they have junior mints on the boat?

Well, you guys took to long to answer me so I just called Disney to ask about travelers checks. (I know what your thinking, why didn't I just do that in the first place? I like to be difficult!) And the answer is, Yes, you can cash them on board. Now I just need to figure out how much to get.

Yes, Jenny, I am a bowler. I have been bowling on and off for about 11 years. In fact, that is how Steve and I met. Our friends that own the bowling alley I bowl at were on a cruise a couple of years ago and the bowling alley burned down while they were gone. It was very sad for them and me since that was the building Steve and I met at. But they hired Steve to design a new building and opened a year to the day it burned. (all together now....AAAAAWWWWWEEEEE!!!!) Just had to add that inspiring little story. Anyway, I don't do too bad, I carry about at 160 average. I mostly just have fun. Steve, on the other hand, bowls about once a year and can still bowl a 200 game. As Jen would say, "where's that barf smilie?".

Well, I am scrambling to get stuff done, as usual, so I better go get stuff done! See you soon!!!

Sorry Frank, I don't know about the junior mints.

Might I venture to guess, Trisha, that you didn't read the posts before yours.

Frank is really....this really hot Chippendales dancer. The dances in the show in Vegas. His interests include, captivating women with his dazzling smile, long candlelight dinners, giving the perfect massage. His only negative is he doesn't like to wear shirts, leaving his bodaciously perfect abs out for all the world to see. We are very excited to have Frank on board with us.....

[tracyl921]

I missed one day and I have 6 pages to read - 4 more to go right now.

Jenny, So sorry about your great grandmom. Be comforted in knowing you will see her again!

Trish & Steve - Sorry to hear about your puppy.

Jen - I'm getting waxed tomorrow!

Ok gonna get back to catching up on what I missed.

All this candy talk is making me hungry!! Which is bad since I seem to be gaining weight!! I must be finding all the weight you all are loosing!!

 

[getoutthere]

Ok, Maybe its because I have had alot going on this week or maybe I am just not that bright but I am not getting the whole Frank and Lola/Missy thing. Sorry. Are they supposed to be the same person?

 

[rotary2808]

Jenny & Trisha, its nice to have some bowling buddies on the cruise. Too many people make fun of bowling. It's one of the oldest sports and we still can't compete in the Olympics. I carry about a 150 average. I love bowling, I've been doing it since I was 5. Only sport I've stuck with.

 

[getoutthere]

By the way, thanks to all of you wishing condolences about our dog. It has been very hard and I am still trying to get used to it. Thanks alot.

 

[Frank and Lola]

Why do you guys keep talkin about me and the wife....??

Should I be offended?

Frank

 

[ChrizJen]

Hey everyone...
I'm so ready for vacation!!!

Did I read here or on the main board something about a change in ports at St. Thomas? I know I read it, and it said that if you want to do anything (shopping, etc.) that you have to get a cab now? I just looked for the post, and I couldn't find it.

Anyway, everyone have a good day!

-Christal

Frank, Jen made a big mistake on the FFC website and accidentally put you and the wife's photo with a description of a Fireman and his missy.

 

[PrincessLKMiller]

Lorra

Hi all-

2 1/2 days of work left for me. Jenny (Donald's Gal)- we are also members of the "Flying out Saturday morning" group. We arrive in Orlando around 10 a.m. I am jealous of everyone getting to leave sooner, wish I would have done that. Jenny, I will still be checking in Friday, too.

Jen, thanks for emailing the Final Master List. Looks great. I am curious to know why you didn't list any favorites for you and your family. ha

Frank and Lola? I got it, too. Thanks for the help, Jen.

Thanks for listing the movies. What, no Wedding Crashers?!

Are we going to talk about any other group meets on the days we are at sea at our first Meet Saturday at 3 p.m.?? I thought maybe we could all go to a show or something. It would be fun if someone from our group would be picked to play the Who Wants to Be a Mouseketeer show (it's like Who Wants to Be A Millionaire).

Who all is going on Lord Sheffield, the Second Ship? That is the one that we will be going on.

Have a great day!
Pam

I never remember everything in my first post-

Jen, where are you staying your second week of vacation? I missed your post on that.

Christal, when are you flying out?

Pam

 

[ragdoll]

Looks like DH and I will be the last to board. Our flight arrives in Orlando at 11:15 on Saturday. I will be the frazzled grandma screaming gleefully as I step foot on board.

Christal, yes we are docking at a new dock and if you want to go anywhere you need to take a taxi. There are no shops there as of yet but some are being built. I am really bummed about this as the other shopping area was nice. It was also right by the sky ride that goes up to Paradise Point.

DGD, age 3 called me from the Wonder today. What a surprise! I'm glad to know that she and DD are fine. When I told DD it was around $7.00 a minute she cut it short. DGD, age one that I am watching is being a little angel. It is so amazingly quiet around her with just the one.

Oh dear, I spoke too soon. She just woke up from her nap. I expected her to sleep longer since she was up so early. Guess my computer time is over for now.

Talk later,
Donna
