Tagliarchy Island Part 2

[cadburysmom]

OMG! Remember about the gas leak and how they are digging up our front yards.....?

........ well, there are TWO cable TV trucks outside and only 30 minutes until Survivor AND Friends! This could be a huge catastrophe!

It is one thing to dig up my yard, it is ANOTHER thing to make me miss two of my favorite shows!

Quick....someone hand me some chocolate.....I'm having a panic attack....whew...ok..munch,munch.....I feel much better.....now for a margarita!

Hey [COLOR=FF0033]cadburysmom[/COLOR], just in case those cable trucks mess up your tv viewing tonight, ohanafamily is in the other room setting up Tivo to catch those shows for you. If by some chance you can't watch he'll transfer them to video and send it out to you tomorrow. Can't have you all upset or anything.

Now what would I do without you two!

....luckily, we just got our cable back a few minutes ago so all is now well again, or as well as it can be in my crazy little world
Gotta run see who gets voted off next.....enjoy your swap boxes and have a great evening!

Sounds good to me! I'll actually be out near Raleigh for a convention in late July. Know anything about the Radisson at Research Triangle Park? Seems like a nice place. I'll go anywhere the district pays me to go. Why don't they have teacher workshops at WDW?

If they already do, there's GOT to be a list out there somewhere!

Hey [color=66FF00]iluvtink[/color] ,

Your daughter is not the only one who runs into that problem when faced with Algebra for the first time. I have a lot of A-B students that thought they could coast through, and are not having a pleasant semester. It's a great learning experience though!

 

[iluvtink]

Conga 'round the pool!!!
I'm dancin', I'm smilin',
I'm playin' on the Island...
My friends have been swappin'
They really have been hoppin'
I love all my presents,
I'm simply effervescent(?)
I'm nakey, but no matter
I couldn't be much gladder...

Hmmm... maybe that's enough...

It has been so much fun opening the box and its contents. My family is convinced that I have lost my mind, getting _____ and _____ and _______ from total strangers. I don't think you're strangers, but there's no convincing them of that. Oh well, too bad for them.

Bunches of hugs to Nephosaurus and Nieceosaurus ... I really loved their gifts. And ohanafamily and RRBB, this was a really big job. I didn't realize it until I imagined you getting 18 boxes like mine ready. Many, many thanks...

And thanks to everyone who sent me gifts. Every single bag was perfect! A couple of specifics without being too specific in case some people haven't opened theirs yet.... Danauk, thanks for leaving out the blood pudding! Lewski709, Toby and Tucker send their kisses to you.

I don't wanna wait for Christmas... could we do one once per quarter? Maybe a little one in September - something seasonal? Easy for me to say, since I didn't have to coordinate the whole thing.

Thanks for the McAfee advice... and for the IE6 instructions also,
ohana. I'll try them a little later. For know, I'll just sit here with Brad and Wills and see if anyone shows up. :

p.s. hyzdufan, you and I know it's a great learning experience... but there is no convincing her of that right now! hee hee

 

[Kismetdreams]

My box came too!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much everyone! I am sooooooo touched and thrilled!

I can't wait until everyone gets thiers and opens them up!

*hugs*

Ok. So I contacted my TA to see about rates for December. I would use you, and I do mean that, but your rates are higher? Why is that? They could get Bawb and I better rates than those you were able to get for October. I don't remember the specific rate, but maybe Bawb will be back before me and can tell you. She has the email. They gave us a AAA rate, not even AAA themselves could do that too. WEIRD!

Anyhow, let's see what you can come up with for 12/24-12/31/04. Two adults, 2 kids (5 and 1). Pop Century or All Star Sports. I need cheap. I may buy and AP or AAA to help with rates. ???

I'll throw business your way, gladly, if you get the best rate. Maybe even just to help you get started. Let me know....ok? Oh and no passes for the parks.

Lewski709 - I just spoke with the "travel agent only" section of Walt Disney Travel Company and asked about the AAA rate. She said that the only agencies that can book the AAA rate are AAA agencies. Did you talk to an AAA Agency for that price, Bawb? She said that when the person with an AAA rate checks in, if they don't have a valid AAA membership card, the rate will revert back to regular price.
She told me that I would be getting all special codes, etc. via e-mail once a week, and they never publish the AAA codes or rates to travel agencies that are not AAA. I'm baffled, but I'll be happy to quote AP and non-AP prices for you for December. Can I climb in your suitcase? I'd just love to be there for Christmas!!!

Hey there RRBB,

I think I've picked a color if you'd like to oblige me.

I'll go with [color=999900]999900 ~ Dark Faded Yellow[/color].

Sticking with the Pittsburgh Panther blue and gold.

You can not truly uninstall Internet Explorer. It is part of windows.
Here is the address for where to download IE 6.1...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/download.asp

I hope this helps...[/Techie Talk]

Ohana, when I go to the above link, it takes me to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/download.asp for the download. When I click on the button for it to download, it does absolutely nothing. No other windows, no prompts, no nothing. So I can't download it into my new folder c:\IESetup...it won't let me put it there.

I turned off my ActiveScan and went to free scan/scan now, and when I pushed the "scan now" button, it told me that I needed to use IE version 5.0 or higher!!!!! If I had the "pull hair out" smiley, I'd be using it. Since it's not available to me on Netscape, then

 

[oddball27]

ok, i havent read the last 100 something pages everyone has posted, i dont have the time, lol!!! if anyone has talked to me since i last posted, please let me know, lol!!!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Got off work early, raced home, FORCED myself to read every page before posting.

My box arrived at the office about 11AM...ALL WORK STOPPED UNTIL I OPENED IT. My co-workers thought I was insane when I broke into histerical laughter before the flaps were even all open!
Thanks for the biggest laugh of the day Nephosaurus!
Thank you all sooooooo much!

After I go grab some dinner I'm going through each bag more carefully (was kind of hurrying in the office 'cause of the 1130A meeting). Loved all the smells! And [COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR], ate your treat right away!

Can't wait till we can talk about it....I'm going to need to make notes as I go through each bag.

RRBB and ohanafamily you are the best!

Think I'll pop over to the airport for some FRIED CHICKEN! (Not, the big Phoenix airport.....the little Deer Valley Airport...you can sit in the restaurant and watch the Piper Cubs and other little guys take off and land.....and they have yummmy food.) Back in a little while.

 

[iluvtink]

I think I'll go upstairs, IV some chocolate syrup, and light some new candles so I can meditate on the problem. The Conga got boring... and DH is home from exercise and is giving me and Brad and Wills some dirty looks. DDKatie has a bad cough and I need to go be a mom after I meditate. Will someone keep Brad and Wills company while I'm gone? I'll check back later. Sorry I missed everyone except our new buddy, hyzdufan. You picked a fine color!!! What sport are the Panthers?

 

[kadaten]

Just catching up while packing but must go...bed is 2 feet deep in all of our clothes and DH wants to hit the sack! Ooops....

 

[RRBB]

OMG! We were on page 2. Where is everyone this evening?

 

[iluvtink]

Katie and Robin,

I'm going to bed. That late night on the Island last night did me in. Robin, thanks again for a wonderful exciting swap.

Katie, you have a great, safe, fun, exciting, wonderful trip. Kiss Mickey for me!

Kim

Love the song [COLOR=66FF00]iluvtink[/COLOR]. And that nakey dance you're doing around the pool is "something else".

ohanafamily and I were thinking that over the summer may not be such a good time to take on another swap, with everyone doing vacations and such. But at dinner tonight we started throwing around the idea of a "The kids are finally back in school so lets do another Tagliarchy Swap" around mid-September. If we do it then we'll probably ask for everything to be to us by mid-Sept so we can get it back to everyone BEFORE the Tag Meet in October. How's that sound? Of course we still have a few months to refine the idea.
