Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.9

[Buckeye Goofy]

Hey Glenn - I just looked on the website. Do I register on roll call or the actual event?

Login like you do for Roll Call, but notice there is now an option 'Events'. Click on that and you will see all of the DCL excursions as well as many of the onboard DIS events.

 

[Hoagie Pie]

Never mind Glenn - it worked!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

For the crocs flips wearers, aim in the same boat but have a couple of non flip pairs that I love, http://www.crocs.com/crocs-patricia/10386,default,pd.html?cid=41U&cgid=women-footwear-sandals and I am breaking in this pair (warming the dryer and stretching to my foot,) http://www.crocs.com/crocs-madeira/10744,default,pd.html?cid=24K&cgid=women-footwear-sandals.

On our cruise, Monday night football was college because Pro didn't start yet and it was great! Pizza, beer, aerial vision and lounge chairs - cannot get better than that!

In fact the other day, while skimming, I swore I saw the user name "Buckeye Candy" instead of "Buckeye Goofy". Or else, I was just hungry!!

Thats what you get for skimming... The urge to eat peanutbutter and chocolate candy!!! Maybe it was a sign.... You could change you user name to Buckeye Candy...

 

[UKANGEL]

Mark and John will be chat up a storm if he is interested in tech type stuff!!

Hi Everyone- back on the boards and quickly glimpsed through everything and noticed the words "football" and "event". What is this and do you have to be a man???? Sign me up if you don't! I don't even know what it is, but I love football. I will wear my jersey!!! If someone can fill me in, I would appreciate it.

We have been busy getting my husband's company that he is starting up and running and I haven't had a chance to read.

I did read that someone is in the hospital and having surgery!! Ahh! I hope they are okay. Hayley - don't know if it is your child, but sending hugs!

Glad to hear others are doing well. I know some of you leave pretty soon. I was thinking of Erik and Jason - don't you guys leave Saturday????

Kimberly - LOVE the pillow case! I am slowly getting packed and taking care of paperwork. FE's, scrapbooks, other gifts, etc. are done and packed!

Make sure when you go to eat in Gibraltar that you ask if they take credit cards. Last time we were stranded and THANK GOD there was an from our cruise who said she would lend us the money. I got on the ship and gave her money. The pub did not take anything! The banks all had their "computers" down so they would not accept anything US.

Hi Sandi...it' Hayley's fur baby (doggy) that got hurt

I love my football too....albeit soccer in my case!


Good luck to your DH btw

It doesn't have to be a blokes thing but is on at the same time as the ladies tea which was why I thought making it a blokes thing made sense!

Not all us ladies are doing tea though.......

I wanted to post this close to the cruise so many will read it. If you see me and I don't respond to you this is why....please do not take offense,,,

In 2001 I was working in a call center and I started getting migraines a lot. I kept telling everyone I smelled gas. I unfortunately can smell a dirty diaper on a kid quite a distance away. That usually meant I could not pretend not to realize my kids needed changing.

So, when no one else could smell the gas, I went to the DR and he had a CAT scan done. I really thought I was going crazy and the migraines were coming on more and more. I also did notice that some other smells were also bothering me. So on a very cold day, some one else finally noticed the gas smell and we called the maintenance guy and he smelled it too. They fixed the unit and I didn't smell it any more. But I was still getting migraines from different smells. I managed to find a little vial of oil called Uh Oh Migraine and I would rub a little of it under my nose, and sometimes it really helps. I also discovered Equal was helping to start migraines so I cut that out.

For the last five years at my last job, if anyone came up to the front desk smelling very strong of cigarette smoke or cologne, I would just have to call my co-worker and she knew why I was calling her because if I didn't it would get so bad I would have to go home. When they did a total remodel of the downstairs, I went home. The smell of the new carpeting, the dust, cleaning solutions, just made me crazy. Same thing happened when part of the upstairs was done. When they would have to daily clean the preschool room, I just made it a point to be in the back of the building or out to lunch so I would not be affected. When walking past anyone smoking, I have to hold my breath or I will start coughing and gagging. Hubby still insists on going outside to smoke his cigars and when he comes back in and wants to talk to me, I have to turn my head so I don't smell the smoke. The worst colognes are Polo, Jean Nate, and patchouli. I literally get sick. So if I greet you and then don't hug you any more after that, it is only because you are wearing something that gets to me and could start a migraine.

Trust me, I don't like this at all, I feel awful when it happens. I remember wearing Jean Nate and would literally douse myself in it. If I offended anyone, I wouldn't know cause I felt I smelled great!!! Now I only use certain Bath & Body products and I mean only a few of them!!!


Okay, back to fun stuff!!!!

That sounds really awful for you Terry! I won't take it personally if you run away from us......

Thanks Sandi, no problem x

To create the perfect Disney Resort,

Take the History and Itimacy of Disneyland,
The Size and Diversity of Walt DIsney World,
The Beauty of DIsneyland Paris Park
The Castmembers and Entertainment of Tokyo Disneyland

and from Hong Kong Disneyland The Price !!!!

And mix with pixie dust and you'll have the perfect Magical Kingdom.


SW

Totally agree with your assessment. Each park is great in its own right, but I would pick the same qualities as you from each of them.
I've been to all except Hong Kong but I'm looking at 2012 when my traveling buddy finishes nursing school.

 

[cquick]

And if he would stop shopping at Home Depot, we could do more Disney vacations!!!

(Needless to say, I work just to pay the mortgage and grocery bill...)

I work just to go on cruises

 

[su_kraft]

Did you ever ask if non concierge guests may ship their FE gifts ahead?

Sorry, I thought that I had posted. You can ship ahead, you just omit the Concierge details.

For what it is worth, if you are going to ship, the post office is the cheapest way to do it. They quote 10 days plus customs time from Atlanta. I sent magnets, and am contemplating sending part of my FE's. I need to decide this week...

Oh - I shipped first class, flat rate. A full door of magnets, and a swag for the room was $13 and change to send.

This sounds awful and you probably picked the worst cruise you could have done for this. We were on the last cruise before the Magic went into dry dock in 2008. While we were on the ship, they tore up and replaced all the carpets, they varnished a lot of the woodwork and started to paint the public areas. There were always some strong chemical smells around.

Thanks for this. I am still in two minds about this. I will definitely ship ahead, but not sure if I should contact the hotel to see if they are OK to have it shipped there or if I should send it to the ship. I am just worried that it never makes it from their warehouse to the ship. I suppose, if it is not in the cabin when I get there, I can get our stateroom host on the case and with us not leaving until late in the evening, there is still a chance that it would get to me in time if it had been left behind.

Here's what I just put on the website. I can change the wording if you like (I'm just the tech guy, not the wordsmith)

Wear your team jersey for football and beer
Register via website

Sat 9/25 3:00 pm Diversions Buckeye Goofy
Reg Open

Show your team spirit by wearing your favorite football* jersey and joining your fellow DISers for football and beer. 3:00 should be just in time for noon kickoff for games in eastern time zone. We'll make sure to get a few 'team pictures' of the gang in our jerseys (before and after a few beers)

* Football from either side of the pond

Glenn

Oh My!!! DH is organizing an event!!!! Be still my heart...

Remember John wrote this in 1970. It means that when reading a computer memory soon after writing it may cause errors unless the write noise has dissipated (go away). John proposed a method to improve the speed of recovering the memory by surrounding the memory with carbon to dissipate the noise.

Makes some sense and probably still has some use somewhere.

Thats what you get for skimming... The urge to eat peanutbutter and chocolate candy!!! Maybe it was a sign.... You could change you user name to Buckeye Candy...

No, then I'd be heading for some chocolate everytime I posted. I actually don't like to eat candy apples, so no problem there. Caramel apples, though, yummm...

Concierge note stated that items had to arrive 2 days prior - so I think that 2 days out they receive and then move from warehouse to ship. Once it is closer than the 2 days, getting it would be at risk I would think - but I imagine they check for items if there is postal delivery that day.

I sent mine earlier because I was worried about the time in customs. Although I marked it as door magnets with a value of $1.00. So, I am hoping that even if they have to open it becasue they confused there is time to get them their. If not, I am also bringing some duplicates (Just in case...)

 

[Feebs]

Greetings to all.
Congrats to Ebony on the new grandchild and I so sorry to read of another injured dog, hope he`s better soon and then you can tell him off about the bill

Re safety in Barcelona, I must say I`m worried. DD 21 was there last year on her own and she felt fine but I`ve read so many bad reports. I`m going to get DH to leave his camera bag in the hotel and as soon as we arrive I want to put all our CC`s and passports in the safe.
My bag is one that goes across the body and has lots of zipped compartments, we`ll tour with a bit of cash and my small camera.
