[LetsGoSteelers]

so there is obviously not enough pins for all the people crusiing right? I'm assuming there are more than 1500 people on the cruise but I don;t know the ships capacity

will they be handing out vouchers or something, will they be avail at midnight?

Yes, we are going to make you wait for the cruise. No, it wasn't mango, but from the first night on, we were served by the head waiter each night.......

PS - the price of the pins is $12.95 each. Here's the info that was posted over on Dizpins:

Stephen and I are proud veterans of the last 3 Disneyland 2000 Pin of the Month releases. Arriving at Disneyland at 3am and lining up for a pin release that wasn't scheduled until 10am that morning. This is where I met my bestest ever friend, Candi Rose, my sister by choice.

Vicki - I've known Candi since 2000 also. I forget her DD's name (is Candi the DD or mother??) but they both sell and buy together. We have many tr/actions between each other.

I would go out on a limb and say you and I have had tr/actions with each other also. It's going to be interesting to talk to each other about it. I have sold a great number of my pins in the last year - I would venture to say I have 20 thousand if not more - In the last 2 months I have sold enough to pay for the cruise and I am elated over that. Still have over 30 books in the shed that I haven't even taken out in a long time and gone thru yet. Have 30 cork boards filled with different pins and no duplicates hanging on walls and in my TV room.

Would sell the whole collection in a heart beat - wouldn't bother me at all

I have a feeling that DCL may open up sales of the pins again, if they aren't sold out on the first day. I'm really hoping that the 1st one has some left, so we can get both pins

hey, with 5 people in my group, maybe I can sell my vouchers??? My sister and her DD's sure don't collect either

Kay, I see you are an early bird like me

RE: Mackinac Island - it! We were there on our honeymoon (13 years ago) and our 5 year anniversary Love to take a nap in the afternoon with the window open hearing clip-clop, clip-clop, right to sleep!!

Kister, I will have quite the list of drugs too. In addition to some of yours asthma pills and inhalers, allergy meds, pepto bismal tablets, ibuprofen, Aleve...the list goes on. Some we need regularly, others we will want to have if the situation arrives (which we always hope it doesn't).

Celeste, we have to sign for up to two boxes of a sudafed containing product and there is a limit per month too. I'm glad they came out with the reformulated kind because during the height of the allergy season with two of us suffering, we couldn't buy enough to make it through the month. Taking the maximum dose it's 1/2 pack a day each! Granted we don't take the max, but if someone did, they'd be in trouble.

No problem Lynn Your post didn't put Scott back up there so I had it for a while on my birthday

Thanks everyone for all the birthday greetings and wishes. I have always loved birthdays and you helped to make mine special Can't wait to meet you all in 18 days (some 17 at Scott's party).

Gotta get some work done today. Don't go now posting.

Hey Leslie - I resemble that remark.

If memory serves me right, I was one of those crazies who spent the night in the hallway - and I'm not even a pin collector

Shari...that was me too...just wanted a "unique" souvenier from the cruise....who knew how much fun it would be to spend the night in the hall with 300 of your closest friends!!!!

Hmmm, maybe kitster could help my obtain these. How about Diastat?? Not heavy-duty but they'd be chill for a while.

Versaid (sp) will slow this group.

We are on the 10 day cruise. If they open pin sales to more than one per person, we could get extras. Lets us know if you are interested. Alex

Anything good on TV tonight, Cheryl???

Nope, just reruns..can't wait for the new fall programming to start.

 

[Scott H]

Had a nice run at 0400. the Stars were great. Pups were dingy, but they usually are.

Ivan, did ya get the email, I got the msg you said I would.

Kitster, our med kit is pretty close to yours including some extra stuff from my Doc. Dreading changing Doc, but such is life. I like traveling with a good kit for those just incase events.

RE the pins for our cruise, Why didn’t they put Mickey in a Grass Skirt?????

Drives me crazy- Darn tweakers had to go and ruin it for everyone.

Concerning Sudafed, federal law states that you can buy up to 3 grams of pseudoephedrine per month. We have all our products behind a counter, and you have to request them, but I still can buy the 100 count bottles of 30mg tablets. In fact, I'll have one with me on this trip. I work in a small compounding pharmacy, so we don't have many Sudafed abusers...........ours are the OxyContin variety of abusers.

Ahh when your work day ends mine begins... Ahhh the stories I could tell...

Hope all is well in FL with the passing of Ernesto....

Edited to Add: I forgot we found the KEWLEST fine paper ware for the party.... Rather Fitting if I do say so myself.... now to locate spme fine plastic glass ware.

hmm, maybe I shoul;d do one of those things where I have my jersey on underneath and then excuse myself, then keep going back and forth between commercial breaks....

could you imagine though if I forget and start waving my terrible towel in the middle of Palo's???

I got it, I'll just whoop it up for the chef!! Way to go buddy...this meal is delicious!!!!

I think she'll know better though, she's a clever girl....

Go Jags!!!

Just out of curiousity...was the store the Dress Barn???? I always seem to find get dresses there...and I've never paid full price for one yet!!!!

I love dress Barn!!!

Hi Emily, my name is Vicki and I'm a semi-recovered pin-aholic. Are you going to the pin event at Epcot the weekend before the cruise? We're actually passing this year because there was nothing I couldn't live without being offered.

Hi Vicki,

Seems you and I have traded via mail years ago. I thought your board name (kitster) looked familiar. I haven't traded in years, and we definately don't buy as many pins as we used to.

Look forward to meeting you in person!

Cheryl

Hi Scott,

Mickey in a grass skirt would be excellent...great idea!

Barely a breeze here in FL..although, now the power is going off and on..ugh.

Scott, check targets $1 section..they have some great tropical plastic glassware.

Hi Lynn!!

 

[webray]

OK..all caught up. Good morning everyone! Hope you all have a great day. Things look to be quiet here, well, with the exception of the woman across the street being hauled off in handcuffs this morning...jeesh!

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Wow.. only a page to catch up this morning!!! What happened to the West Coast Contingent??

 

[Cindi0511]

Took DW shopping today for her new formal dresses...SHE FOUND BOTH AT THE SAME STORE AND THEY WERE ON SALE. All I can say is "yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause"

We went to the outlets in Orlando two weekends ago, and I found one that was originally priced at $180 or something for $30! I made out like a bandit, even with some tailoring!
