Set Sail on the SS Last Word Cruise Ship

[yensid1071]

Let it sleet,
Let it sleet,
Let it sleet....

No, wait... change that...

Let it snow,
Let it snow,
Let it snow....

Woke up today and found it sleeting pretty hard here. An hour or two later, it's snowing. And the snow was coming down hard (well, as hard as snow can fall, anyway ). But it's warm enough that none of it is sticking. So right now everything outside is just soaking wet. It's nice & chilly outside (34 degrees... it was 39 earlier), so I think it's time for some hot chocolate. BTW, this FL native is bundled up at the moment. I'm still not used to cold weather (must be a FL native thing... we all have thin blood ). And for all you northerners, technically I know this isn't cold. But it's cold for *here*.

Happy birthday Sherry!!

Hmmmm... who thinks this thread may not make it to page 150? All this talk about skinny dipping, "funk free", "stiff competition", the "love" boat and everything else. Heh, heh, heh....

 

[kejoda]

Oh Beth great ideas!!!!!!!

Now I'm hurt only Sherry and Pam have answered me about shirt sizes. Could you please give me your sizes? With no questions asked of course. If you don't want to post it give me about 20 minutes and I'll have my box cleaned out.

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Sorry, Beccy! Forgot to say XL for me. I finally ungrew out of my XXLs!!!!! Yipppeeeeeee!!!!!

 

[Dream]

Beccy...just sent ya a pm!

Beth...you just described my idea of the absolute perfect Ya Ya meet!!!!! There are lots of folks who sound less than enthused about an amusement park. I know there is the "what if" fear of getting together and not enjoying it, thus there was the need for "outside activities" to fall back on. But honestly ya'll, I cannot imagine that this crew will be lacking for conversation or diversion!!!! I mean...just think about it!!!! If nothing else we can sit for days and just re-live this thread!!!!! So I am with you Beth and think it's a GREAT idea!!!!! WHO ELSE????

 

[Kama89]

Beth, your YaYa meet suggestions sound absolutely wonderful!!! Except for one thing... my cabin boy hasn't made any movies.

Oh, sorry Beccy... I'm a little distracted by my STUPID computer problem. *Kim would love to kick this hunk o' junk if it weren't for the fact that it's being handed down to Cameron next week*

T-shirt size... small or medium I 'spose, depending on how big the med. is.

WHOA!!! I just threw that date out for a starting point ya'll....it's not MY decision ok? We all need to pick a date that is convenient to most of us!! Any other ideas???

OKAY....recap for Jan. 11th, 2003...another 12 mothy pages!!!

Michele started the day off with talk of a grand prix race in which her family competed and did veeeery well!!!!!

Even Bonnie is looking at charms, and she needs to watch her mail this week and she is a little afraid....heh heh heh!

Charms discussed: Mickey and Minnie kissing...awwwww , flesh colored, hula, flag, and fish

Jodie's shovelling out years of "kid clutter" to make room for the "Dream overhaul machine"!!!

Debster fled to the safety of the Ya Yas from the likes of Beetlejuice, and we shared rooms and cabin boys, beverages and food and were very glad she sought shelter here!! Anytime Deb!!!

Carol is going to WDW in December...WOOOHOOOO...and many Ya Yas will make the supreme sacrifice to visit the house of mouse to meet our International Ya Ya!!! Beth will be there Dec. 11- 14th, Sherry is going in December...Marilyn too...and Dream is tossing the idea around as well!!

There was talk of dis-con and understanding, stomach bugs and Cheetos in Karen's dh's nose and Jeannies parking ticket woes!

Jodie's recap was a little interesting editorially speaking!

Jennifer and Pam got what they were "missing" as they "found the magic" with their dh's and frankly their smiling faces all day long became quite annoying!!!!

Jay was missed, there was more talk of chilly quarters and how to count them and what a "working man" needs to do to get to WDW in the Spring ...and the "Jay hula" pic resurfaced for Betty's viewing pleasure and Bonnie suggested that Jay may prefer his face to be plastered on Hula Santa instead....Jay? And we hope Jay feels better today.

Marilyn showed us her lovely afghan but there were no antlers in her bedroom which made us wonder if this was indeed a cover for her REAL room filled with jungle vines and her precious tank??

The question was posed...is even the RE-CAP too much for shep??? Shep?

Karen's hair is beginning to look like a reverse skunk and Pam's grey is peeking through but dd got the makeover $$ for the month and Kim is thinking about cutting her hair and going RED and getting a new monitor and Marilyn is a natural blonde who NEVER needs to color her hair!!!!!

Bonnie's "RL" friends think that Jodie is nuts...and the problem is???

Kim called us floozzies, Jeannie was singing and flinging zingers and thinks Marilyn is June Cleaver and suggests our next Ya YA abode be a prison ward, Indian dhaba, car wash or Turkish Bath....Jeannie needs to get more sleep.

Nancy noted we are actually headed to a fantasy island!!! OOOOKAYYYY!!!!

Jay went to Monte Carlo in a dinghy and made a comment about the "lLove Boat" and was concerned that the smoothies were spiked...NEVER MY SMOOTHIES....only mixed with pixie dust!

Betty said Jodie was full of it

Jennifer got a headache from her Girl Scouts singing along with Avril Levine...and Jodie totally understands!!!

Elaine says WE talk too much and her purchase of the day was a NEW CELL PHONE!!!

Marilyn wears Dingo boots when she drives the tank...oh Zurgy!!!!

Laura and jennifer's dds had sleepovers...Jodie wishes them lots of strong coffee today!

Jodie posted a prayer that reminded her of Ya Yas

Pam trekked thru the snow to take food to a starving Boy Scout who bailed on the chilly canp out before she arrived...WHAT a WOMAN!!! And Pam has a caterer who's business is called "Have Roadkill Will Scrape Gourmet" and she will share the number with any interested party!

Beth did NOT go tot the mall and Beth and Beccy like guys with "nice hands"

Jodie had the house to herself for the evening and she dised till she dropped and "PARTY WAS AT DREAM"S"

There was serious "Meet talk"

Jennifer wouldn't take Jodie in if she showed up on her doorstep with her suitcase but that's ok cause bonnie WILL...thanks roomie!

Nutsy had breakfst at the beach

Kim was in a funk but we helped her find her smile!

GP confused skinny dipping with "something else" but Jodie set him straight. which made him run away but he later proved he wasn't "afraid of a few harmless little Ya Yas" by posting a pic with his face on a hunky "muscle man" bod with a promise to "be back"!

Don't try to say "funk free" three times fast!! And "one thing Ya Yas do do
is support eachother thru thick and thin"

Jodie spent the night on the Lido deck making wishes on falling stars

Jay wants Stacy and Natalie back and Bonnie couldn't sleep and Nancy, Betty, carol, Jeannie and Kim talked the night away cause they were "bored" and jeannie had to pee and Betty said TMI and Jeannie called us GRANDMAS and got properly threatened by Kim!!! And Carol's cabin boy is a dead man and Roland has "stiff competition" ANNNNND

this ends another typical day with the Ya Yas!!!!

Thanks...thats too much ketchuping for a ketchup post...

 

[Dream]

KIM!!! FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE!!! Breathe in......breathe out......

But seriously, I know how you feel about being cut off from your email.....AUGHHHHH!!!!! It is no fun!!! Wish I could help but, alas, no computer prowess in this Dream...sorry! ***Jodie sends pixie dust to Kim's computer!!*****


Hi Elaine...Hi Jay! (Now Jay...why would our ship have to dock early? We are sweet, kind, good and innocent Ya Yas who believe in nothing more than having some good wholesome fun!! )

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Sorry I forgot to answer you before Beccy Im a large. I like tshirts roomy.

Well I couldnt get my hair done today. My stylist changed her schedule and is off on Sundays now!!! Arrrgh now I have to go an entire week more with this reverse skunk thing going and I have to put up with my coworker harping on it.

Kim I hope your computer problems get fixed very quickly. I never mind being locked out of my email because all I ever get is junk mail anyway LOL.

 

[newmousecateer]

Beccy
I am a large...I also like my t-shirts roomy. Sorry I didn't answer before.

Where the YaYa's go, Tankdork shall follow. Name a place, and I will be there. DH thinks it is soooo cool the YaYa's are getting together. Ain't he a sweetie??!! YaYa's. I cannot imagine all of us not have a ton of fun together.

Marilyn showed us her lovely afghan but there were no antlers in her bedroom which made us wonder if this was indeed a cover for her REAL room filled with jungle vines and her precious tank??

Did ya ever hang and fly from antlers and jungle vines? Oh, the thrill of it all! Hubby Tarzan, me Jane!

 

[helenabear]

Beccy, I am either a medium or a large depending on how big the medium is... usually a medium though, but I don't mind them big. Not much help am I?

Sorry all I meant to stop by earlier, but I was doing a little bit of tech support here today

Karen, sorry about the hair. I know that feeling well

Oh and I have to say one more thing NO SNOW!!!!!!!! I want to go to Chicago next weekend... okay now you can ignore me and go about your merry ways

 

[LucyStorm]

Happy Birthday Sherry!

Okay, so I am loving this cabin idea too! Do you all want me to do some research on the various state parks with cabins in Ohio?

Would you prefer hills, beaches, or lakes?

 

[Kama89]

Sorry all I meant to stop by earlier, but I was doing a little bit of tech support here today

Dont'cha just hate it when helpless computer morons pester with dippy questions!

I have my email back!!! I have my.... *PANT GASP PANT* my pictures back! Ya'll realize if I'd lost that picture file ya'll would've had to restrain me again to keep me from doing serious bodily harm to anything or anyone in my path?!? Elaine... HUGS to you and Luis! You most likely saved the life of every living thing I would've encountered today. Everything is backed up on CD... not sure how we got the CD ROM to work one last time, but it performed flawlessly this time. Scared of being replaced I guess.

Oh!! Ack! I'm so far behind here! I meant to say to Jeannie last night... the picture of the hair style you posted is BEAUTIFUL, but yes, too high maintenence for this girl. I spend all of 5 minutes on my hair, kind've a wash and wear type of gal. Now that I have my pics back, I may dig around and see if I can find a recent one to post and maybe some of you might have a few suggestions for me. I need a small change... I'm just not sure what it should be.

Sherry! I missed that it was your birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY you little Orlando hoarder you!!

 

[kejoda]

Sorry Shep I didn't mean to leave you out. Please forgive me!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Been doing a little Ohio research this afternoon. How chummy do we want to get? Do we want individual rooms/beds or can we room together? Here's a few options if we leave family at home:

Atwood Lake Resort—Dellroy, Ohio
http://www.bestlodging.com/sites/1484/index.shtml

Spruce Hill Inn & Cottages—Mansfield, Ohio
http://www.sprucehillinn.com
Click on Reservations for more info on accommodations/prices

Buckeye Cabins—Canal Winchester, Ohio
http://www.buckeyecabins.com


Valley View Cabins—Sugar Grove, Ohio
http://www.valleyviewcabins.com
(The Rugby accommodates up to 14)

Old Man’s Cave Chalets—Logan, Ohio
http://www.oldmanscavechalets.com
Several of the cabins sleep up to 8 and the lodges up to 16!

Martin Woods Cabins—Lancaster, Ohio
http://www.martinwoodscabins.com
The Lincoln sleeps up to 10

Heritage Cabin—Lancaster, Ohio
http://www.heritagecabin.com
Lodge sleeps up to 14 with 3 baths AND a wet bar!!

The Cabins at Exit Inn—Frazeysburg, Ohio
http://www.exitinn.com
Smaller cabins, but they offer group rates

Now, if family comes with, we should probably just choose a hotel and get our own rooms or split with a roomie.

Kim!!! Glad to hear you didn't lose anything. We have XP here at home and XP Professional at work and I am slowly learning to hate it. Not anywhere as user friendly as the former Windows programs have been IMHO. Oh, BTW, if you want low maintenance on the hair, cut it SHORT. Wash, fluff and go!! I do it every few years, LOL!!! Sorta like the Winnie the Pooh song....Up, down, up, down.......only it's long, short, long, short. As petite as you are, I bet you'd look adorable with a curly little cap.

Thank you, Elaine, for rescuing Kimmie! Don't want to ignore you.....stay and play!!!

Hi, Bonnie! Yes, it's your turn for research. I didn't get to the State Parks.

Karen, sorry you couldn't get your hair taken care of. Just tell the office harpy that you're into Nascar and you're growing a racing stripe!

Marilyn, I noticed that you had a hand in decorating some of the above mentioned cabins. Saw antlers on the wall more than once!! Yeah right, swinging vines.......I seem to remember something about a hanging basket, too

 

[lilboo]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERRY-LA!!!

Orlando, Cameron, Colby, and Gaston all came out to wish you the very best!
Gaston, step away from the mirror for a moment, PLEASE! Sheeesh, these Frenchman, you can dress 'em up but you can't take 'em anywhere.

[Kama89]

Beccy, I forgot to say...you were right. A restore is exactly what we had to do.

How chummy do we want to get? Do we want individual rooms/beds or can we room together? Here's a few options if we leave family at home:

Leave family at home...YES! Chummy... no problem. Cabin, games, hikes, movie, cheetos, smoothies.... Ooooh boy! I'm lovin' this!!!

Hey! Who is Colby? That was supposed to be my name. Mom wanted to name me Colby, but my Grandmother flipped out... couldn't believe my mother would even consider naming a little girl after a town in Kansas. Personally, I would've loved it! Kimberly is DULL DULL DULL!

Cut it short? Oh man...that'd feel so strange! LOL! Should I?! Eeeeeh! I dunno. I'm skeered. I still haven't looked for a pic.... need to do that in a bit.

 

[kejoda]

Your welcome Kim. tim will be impressed that I remembered something.

Happy Birthday Sherry! Its a great day to have a birthday. Enjoy.

Beth thanks for all those links all of them sound good. We need to decide on what area.

I am a hepppy girl today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life is good

Celebrate Celebrate dance to the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bfeller]

I am still trying to catch up but wanted to let Beccy know that I too am a large when it comes to shirts.

The state park idea sounds good.

Bonnie, I may do what you did at the Columbus meet. I may bring Allison and let her bring a friend when we have our Ya Ya meet and then again I may just leave her behind. It actually depends on where Steve is working and what Chris is doing.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Im sorry I forgot to say this before now....HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERRY!!!!! Hope your day was everything you wanted it to be and much much more!!!
