Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.3

[Brooklyn]

Hi Everyone! Sooooooo sorry for the long leave of absense. Things have been CRAZY for us!

We moved!!!

Computer Crash - lost almost everything and picking up the pieces!

Fell, broke 2 ribs and collapsed my lung! That was a fun stay in the hospital

Only to be followed by Swine Flu! Oh joy!

The girls medical issues have been piling up. We take one step forward and two steps back. Right now we are facing the fact that Brooklyn may have celiac disease. If she has it it would answer a lot but it would also cause a HUGE change in her lifestyle! Madison has been through the ringer getting tested for her immune system. Unfortunatly she still can't be immunized and some of her illnesses have stumped the doctors.

So again I am super sorry!

There is a good chance that we will not be able to make it on this trip. There is just so much going on and my husband is not looking forward to spending a two week vacation with family of his onboard that he just does not want to see. We wanted to go on this trip so bad and my heart is broken thinking we may not be able to.

As for the website...I have finally re-downloaded all of the files. I can't imagine how long the list must be of updates. If there is anyone out there that wants to take it over let me know and I will hand over all of the log in information and stuff. Unfortantly we lost all of our email accounts when we moved. I will be adding our new address to the DIS Boards so just PM me if you are interested.

I hope everyone is well!

How about these for the Monday questions.......

1. What is your favourite snack while onboard?

The chocolate chip cookies

2. Who would be your fantasy special guest/performer that you would want to be onboard?

thats a hard question - the ones I like aren't usually G rated though I really like that John Charles dude they've had on before - he's so funny!

 

[paulasillars]

2. Entertainment: I would love to see any of the Disney imagineers doing a talk or especially anyone from the Pirates of the Caribbean films (cast or crew). I love "behind the scenes" sort of entertainment. For traditional singers I would love someone like Ricky Martin or any vocalists from the Disney films.

Well Johnny Depp was at D23 so maybe he could join us?

Evening all...yes, Christmas has arrived. The tree is up and decorated and presents have been wrapped and ready to distribute.

Wait a minute!!! Gifts are all wrapped??? I have only bought 2 gifts. It is not Dec 24th yet, is it? We did put the rest of the lights up on the outside today, even though it was very, very cold. We had to come inside every few minutes to warm up even though we were bundled.

Our house is starting to looks like christmas also. The tree is done, the signs are on the front of the house and we have candy canes and nick nacks on the tv stand. We just have to figure out where to hang the stockings. We use to have a fireplace in the living room but we moved to to my bedroom. This the 1st time we've had the decorations up since we moved it about 3 years ago. I'm headed to the store to get some hooks to hang them on the wall. It was fun looking thru the disneyworld stuff we put on our tree we have glasses and stuff from 1998's lighting of the osburnes spectical of lights. MGM bulbs, coasters from ESPN when they first opened and other objects like magnets, buttons and postcards. Everything on the tree was once at Disneyworld.

Have a great night everyone

Amanda

The tree sounds fun!

Had a tough weekend at work, had an intruder!!! Me and him walked into each other at the back door, which leads to the yard, scared me senseless(or something like that!) Anyway , then I went to run(away,obviously) and I fell over my laces(which were not tied) to be fair he probably got as big as fright as me, so then, the police and police dogs came, they got some one, Vet id him in a drive past! then the police got called away, then they came back at 3.30am for statement, (still no sleep) then at 4.30 went to bed and lay awake spooking myself till 6am when it got daylightish, then I got to sleep, then..... wait for it, cid came to take finger prints at 7.30, it has been a hellish busy day, even had some one pull me up on the phone cause I called her Miss, she says" I am a mrs " I say" I am sorry" then she says, " Its just that it bugs me when folk call me Miss and Im a mrs" I said(under my breath) Well excuse me if I am too busy dealing with rtas, heart failure,cats attacked by dogs etc to ask your maritail status, oh and by the way, Miss is much better than the a***ole I am calling you now.

Glad I got that off my chest!

Sounds like a nightmare Lynne! I hope you're OK? As for the Miss comment - I don't mind being called Mrs or Miss (Im a Miss) but have called someone up once for calling me Mrs Davies (my boyfriends name) only because it was the council tax people and the council tax is in both our names so I don't know how they couldn't tell. Over the phone like that its easy to get it wrong and quite frankly I think Miss makes you sound younger so she should have been grateful.

Thanks for the heads up on the flight. We'll be checking our flight. We have the 9.30am out of Heathrow.

Heather - well done on the Christmas plans! You're way more organised than me with the Xmas pressies done too! Just distributed the last of my cards so almost done with that bit then Christmas presents start. My parents are away for Xmas (from the 16th - 28th I think) so have to get theirs done before that!

Oh my God I am so so sorry! Hope you are at least feeling better! Hope the girls spirits stay high!

If no one else wants to I don't mind taking over the website? I've done a little bit of HTML editing in the past and Dan is web editor for his union so he can do it for me lol.

Again I am so sorry but completely understand your decision. Family has to come first and from the sounds of it you have a lot on your plate.

 

[Bilbo UK]

Afternoon all. Well the sun is out at the moment but we've had hail and rain already today! I've been up early making White Chocolate and Cranberry fudge for everyone in work so got a load of yummy smells in the fridge now!

The Christmas tree is up and the house looks very festive! All thats left is wrapping pressies! ARRRRR!

Anyway hope everyone's OK? We found out today that our flight (BA Heathrow to Barcelona 8:10pm) has now changed to 7:10pm! Not very happy as the later one suited us but I guess there's not much we can do about it. I just hope they don't change it again now!

We have just received an email from BA our 12.20 flight is now at 11.20, not a problem for us, will give us an extra hour in Barcelona!

Im sorry stuff has been so mental, I hope the girls get beeter quick and you get some answers, I would offer to do web site, it not the time or effort I mind ,not sure I have the teky know how.But if no other takers I am sure I could do a btter job than nobody

Sounds like a nightmare Lynne! I hope you're OK?

I NEVER call myself a mrs, I agree,makes me sound old I think, but who cares if they are being nice and helpfull, can call me what the heck they like.

Glad everyone is getting all chritmas, I though Len may have surprised me with putting the tree up for me after work this weekend but ne never, oh well, working again this week for extra holiday money.

 

[granmaz]

Well I don't think I will ever be called Miss again!!! The worst thing to me is being called Ms!!!

 

[gismo1554]

Glad its not just mine that's changed.

 

[calmpets]

I like Ms - it gives an air of mystery! Is she married? Is she single? Divorced? Gosh, since she's Ms I have no idea!

Ah well never mind. Putting the tree up is my favourite job so I wouldn't let Dan anywhere near it.

I love doing the cakes for my boys, and they are so funny about telling me what they want! Here is a picture of Liam's cake

WOW - what an amazing cake You are very talented !

Oh no - what a nightmare time you have been having recently. Hopefully things will start to improve soon and your daughters health problems will get resolved. Sending hugs Really sorry to hear you won't be cruising with us I think you have already had some offers for the website so thats great - I would have offered if no one else had come forward but I would have been pretty useless, so I am really relieved to see the offers from Sarah and Lynne

Well Johnny Depp was at D23 so maybe he could join us?

That would do nicely

We have just received an email from BA our 12.20 flight is now at 11.20, not a problem for us, will give us an extra hour in Barcelona!
Ann

Which has got to be a bonus

Well here in North Wales it is still raining, I have just finished two night shifts and am full of a headcold - haven't even started to think about Christmas yet ....... Just off to check out the online Disney store for any ideas !!!

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Well I don't think I will ever be called Miss again!!! The worst thing to me is being called Ms!!!

Trust me, I would call you miss

Glad its not just mine that's changed.

Re BA and flights, this is why I aviod BA, they changed my flight from a 3 hour connection to a 5 hour connectionthen they put on a more suitable flight and would not change me unless I paid for it, said I agreed to change, now I never agreed to change, it was possibly the most frustrating and annoying service Ive ever had from anybody, kept getting passed along, we eneded up sitting in london for 6 hours while another 2 ba flights left for scotland.

I like Ms - it gives an air of mystery! Is she married? Is she single? Divorced? Gosh, since she's Ms I have no idea!

True.

 

[MrsMork]

Well I don't think I will ever be called Miss again!!! The worst thing to me is being called Ms!!!

Me too! Old fashioned I guess and very proud to be MrsMork for over 42 years now.

Stephanie - So sorry to hear about your struggles. I will really miss meeting you and your family. I have thought of you often (actually everytime I watch Castle now - got hooked because of you!) and I was worried when we hadn't heard anything from you for so long. I hope that things improve quickly.

We haven't received anything, so I assume our flight is still 9.30am.

 

[kamgen]

Brooklyn- so sorry about all of the issues you are facing. I hope things get better and you enjoy your holidays.

Everyone-as for flights, are there any airlines you would stay away from?? This is our first time as a family flying internationally. I used to work for Continental and liked them, but they dont have good fares from Detroit. Thanks!

Acourtwdw2- we have to get together soon!!! When?? Miss you guys!
