Dan mentioned wanting some creative help with the pins. Robin, you up for it?

When is it Celeste? Maybe I could convince Bill to come and then do some Christmas shopping too!

Wow we have not seen anything with an invite to the dvc party ..
lets ask the Guy with all the points!!

 

[dan and scott]

Just a quick note before work...
Did anyone else get an invitation to a DVC holiday party in their city?

DVC is coming to Chicago in November for a holiday party!

Anyone want to be our guests?

DVC Party??? Sounds awesome! I wish they would do something like this in Ohio!

Dan

 

[Scott H]

No invite here in Wyoming. All three - five Wyoming DVC members here probably live at least 400 miles apart. Just a short Wyoming drive.

Elaine Still got those Pj's lol mine have only been worn once! one the Magic.

Anyone Linked Dining For Early or Late ???

Hey, I still have my PJ's! Are we going to plan another breakfast? At least this time we won't have pulled an all nighter and would be so darn tired to really enjoy the experience

Since Kim and Bette are not coming on this cruise, I switched my dining to late. I would love to link up with some/any of you. Just let me know.

Peter, creativity is really not my thing, but I will see what I can ponder up. No promises though......but I would be more than happy to do what I did again........it really was not a thankless job. I enjoyed being able to get to know all of you in advance through the communication.

Robin

....We've also been silent lately because we lost one of our precious puppies. Murphy was only 13, but compression fractures in her spine caused her to be paralyzed in the back legs. I know this comes with being a 'parent' but it's been a hard few weeks.
Randall

Randall and Kevin, sorry to hear about Murphy. Our dog, Tippy, just turned 100 in doggie years and suffers from all sorts of dog maladies. So we kind of know what you are going through.
It does not surprise me that this group offerred so much support to you. They were there when our cat passed on this past summer. We still appreciate the kind words and support from everyone.

 

[BobandLee]

Okay...Mom and I experienced our first tornado yesterday . Apparently we had a category 1 tornado hit our city. I was at home when the tornado hit but luckily we suffered no damage (thank goodness) but a local elementary school's roof blew off and there is so much damage to buildings with many trees down and many damaged roofs. I know how scared we were with this storm that I can't even begin to imagine what Leslie & Joe and Kay & Harry went through in Ft. Lauderdale with Hurricane Wilma.

Wow. Good to hear you are o.k. Do you get many tornados up in the Great White North? (Why do I think....McKenzie Brothers?)
Now that you've made it through a tornado, hurricane season cruising should not be a problem. Right?

Did not hear about this. We would be interrested depending on when it was.

 

[BobandLee]

Well Scott, can your pups do this?[
(sorry about the creases)​

 

[Scott H]

Bob,
Malamutes only beg and pull.

Glad to hear that everyone is OK, tell your Mom that she can handle a little rough water after being that close to a tornado.

I updated the little list Im keeping thanks for the info.
While I was there I checked out the Dis Roster. Some updates have taken place. And You Guys look Great in you Photo.. outside of Palo.

Peter

Thanks and thanks

When is it Celeste? Maybe I could convince Bill to come and then do some Christmas shopping too!

They have two dates: November 19 & 20th, I believe 10am and 2pm both days. I think we are planning on going on the 20th- probably 2pm. I don't know what is really involved, I just got home from work and have to look. I'll post more tomorrow after I sleep!

Sounds interesting!

 

[papa]

Good Morning all. Hope that everyone has a great weekend.

 

[Scott H]

Good Morning Mike, me thinks at least you and I will be seeing each other at the coffee station every morning. I am sure there will be others.

Little cool here, but what else is new. Dogs felt a little wet when they came in for their breakfast. I got our stuff all packed and in a couple of hours we will be heading out to take some of our SCUBA students to do their open water dives. Water will be 96, nice and comfy.

My Birthday present from Lynn arrived yesterday and I am starting to play with it. It is the Disney Mixstick. Have not put any music on it yet as am waiting to get the battery charged. Will see how that goes when we get back. One thing I don’t like is that the battery charges via a USB port. I would rather have a replaceable battery. We will see about this feature. Got a 1 gig SD card for it, good deal at Staples. I do like that I could use this for storage of other data, i.e. files and photos.

Here is a question I have. When I RIP a song to download, should I use WMA or MP3?

OK, kids ya need to send Tracy a little blurb about yourself for the get to know your fellow cruiser section of the newsletter. I venture to say we have a very diverse group of folks here that share a common interest in the Mouse. Who knows I might learn who to hit up for a retirement job. LOL. Maybe I could hole the smart end of a tape measure, or a pound in survey stakes for Peter. Better yet run interference for him with the unemployment lady on the cruise. That was funny. LOL

 

[winotracy]

Hi everyone! We're having a bit of a warm up today (it's already 44 this morning), but by Tuesday they are expecting SNOW Better get the lawn cleaned up today! Celeste, next weekend is good. 2pm Sunday may not be the best (2 1/2 hour drive from Ohare). May work better for Bob.

Peter, I got a great idea with the plans we were working on. Call me.

Tracy

Yeah! What he said! I found out a lot of interesting things about Scott and Lynn that I know you all will enjoy to hear. Let me know about your accomplishments, your employment, your vacations, your hobbies. Whatever you think othes may not know but would find interesting.

Oh, and don't forget about article possibilities either. Peter, if you want to see about Barbados, get Jenn to write something for me
