There is this one too, but I don't think it will be a wide enough angle. Also it gets stuck too occasionally.

Good morning/afternoon everyone.
Bubba and I are here. Checking in from our 7day carnival cruise.

And let me say, even though it has only been one day, I fully understand why we pay the extra to cruise Disney. So far Nothing has been even comparable. I can see why disney has cast memebers, as on carnival they are just crew members. big difference in attitude and service level. I even think the level of passangers is different too. I will do a more indepth review/comparison later, but it is very hard not to wish I was on the magic, sailing back to florida, or sailing anywhere on a disney ship.

And a special Hi and we miss you to Gaylean and Jon, we do wish you were here with us.(I had a dream before we left that you surprised us at the port and came with us.)But really you arent missing anything.

Oh, yes, I totally agree.....you know we did the Carnival Freedom in the Med last year after the Disney Magic TA. We were with other Disney cast members, too. We really noticed the service difference. BUT, I must say, we LOVED the ship....brand new and so beautiful! The accessible stateroom was NOT at the very back of the ship, like Disney. They are in the middle, so you don't have to dodge vaccuum cleaners and housekeeping carts and luggage all the way to th eback of the ship.

The Cabo website seems stuck at 11th August! That's a shame.

I got it to work the 1st time, then I made the mistake of refreshing, and then it did go back to the 11th....weird.

This is what I saw...

Have we become too dependent on our computers.

Are you male or female?

To find out the answer, look down...


























Look down, not scroll down!
Ha Ha Got Ya.

I fell for this, so thought I'd share it with everybody!

Hello guys. Try and have fun but not too much, since I won't be there
You said you would sail anywhere on a Disney ship so I guess Bubba agreed to go on the Med I miss you and I'll be thinking of you. You have to be having more fun than me. I guess I did go to the beach yesterday, with Jon's mom

I just got this to work...

Holly, check out the new Target and Walmart perscription clubs. They are a deal and a half!

Oh, I do know about those, I just haven't needed to use that yet and keep forgetting about it. Thanks for the reminder!

 

[HollyTyler]

Woohoo Holly!!! Well done girl - you deserve it, and the upcoming wage rise!!!

Thanks Marilyn!

 

[mishoe01]

I don't really want to say that I've sailed on Carnival, but they are 1 of the cruiselines that I'm considering for Northern Europe if DCL doesn't do it. It would be on 1 of the newest ships. Don't want to do an old ship...all that neon....YUCK!

John Lennon sang in a song to his son, just before he died, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans!" That's what happened to me. John's son was over here and he was cleaning out a turtle tank. (I have four tanks and six turtles.) John was just about to put the meat on the grill. We were going to pop the cork on the champagne and take a picture wearing my tiara. THEN the kid said......we have a leak in this tank and water is pouring out all over the floor. Great! Now we had to stop everything and immediately drain the tank and run out and buy another one and set it up. Then the new tank was bigger and didn't fit where the old one was, so we had to exchange it with another tank in another place. So we had to drain that one too and after the exchange, fill it up again. Well by the time all of this was said and done, it was way to late to start a barbeque. So we called it off and decided to do it tonight after work. It's the kid's actual birthday today anyway. SO the champagne will be popped tonight and we'll take the pictures and post them. Of course, it defeats the purpose of sharing it with you and Holly doing the Champagne Girl toasting and pictures at the same time.......but life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Don't worry about it. My scenario was more fun though because I figured you got so drunk you forgot We should plan for another time. I was completely innocent since I can't find my camera!

 

[gaylean93]

YES I WILL......and I'll be thinking of all of you while doing my cheers! John had done all the prep work in the kitchen, we were about to put the meat on the barby and pop the cork......my mouth was watering.......then we had to pull the plug. Oh well. At least we get to start the week off right with a good Monday night party!

Monday is a good excuse for a party!

 

[mishoe01]

I hope the news meds do their job for you Monica. Are you off work at the moment?

Today is my day off for the week....back to the 10hr days tomorrow. Seems like most of what I do on my day off during the week is dr appts.

 

[HollyTyler]

Dr's appt went as expected this morning....will be trying out a new combo of meds for the depression....starts tomorrow. We'll see how things go.

Monica, sending you good luck wishes for the new meds. AND lots of hugs!

I'm looking after our 2 grandaughters today. They are 7 next week and are so good and play together which is a dream.

Apparently they were so excited they didn't sleep much last night!!! Bet their mum was pleased.

Have a great time! She'll be thrilled tonight, because they'll probably sleep great to make up for it!

OK, I have a deal! Starting Sept. 1, I'll be working Mon-Wed 8:30-3 and Thurs & Fri 7-5 with FULL BENEFITS! AND.....even though I just recently received almost $1/hour raise, the office administrator will work on getting approval for ANOTHER raise for me at the end of the year!!!! And this leaves 3 days a week that I can juggle any appointments Tyler may need. I'll just need to make any appts. on Mon, Tues, or Wed afternoon. That's doable! No need to keep job shopping. I'll stick it out where I am for a while! I think the turning point is that one good secretary is quitting in 2 weeks, and they also know I've been interviewing for other jobs.

Congrats Holly - it just shows that you've done a great job for them and they want to keep you around!

I read somewhere recently that the average AVERAGE!! cost of weddings these days is around $40K! Amazing!

We ( in the olden days ) 1973 got married at my home church (no cost), paid the preacher, got flowers that were in season, I bought my dress off the rack with no alterations. Rental TUXES. My cousin made the bridesmaid dresses.

It was beautiful! All of my relatives and Chuck's relatives and our friends came.

We had our reception at the local ELK's Club, where my mom and dad were members......we had a buffet and free bar for 4 hours......and a band which was almost free because they were also Elk's club members.

Chuck and I went camping in Rocky Mountain National Park for our honeymoon!

What fun we had when we were youngsters.........

Weddings can be ridiculously expensive. Your wedding sounds practical and perfect!
Ken and I got married for way less than the average cost! We did much of it ourselves . I did the bouquets out of silk flowers, sewed the flower girl and matron of honour dress, and made our cake. Ken's grandfather performed the ceremony. It was very sweet. In his 60's he went back to school for religous studies, and got his official status in time for our wedding. It was the first one he performed, and he was more nervous than us. I did splurge on my dress and had a beautiful train and beading and flowers; but my splurge was still on clearance sale at $800 which is probably still cheaper than the average cost of many dresses. We drove to DL and Las Vegas for the honeymoon, and had a fantastic time!

I've been reading the thread of another couple who are planning a wedding. They're a tad younger than us by about 20+ years, together for 2 years and are planning a Disneyland wedding.

I nearly fell off my chair, over 120 guests and spending over $100K on the wedding. I think they're spending closer to $150K!

We've been together for 21 years and I'm not sure I'd pony up $100K for some over-done chicken and cake (not to mention $150K)

I'm not sure marrying Sukie is worth $100K, perhaps if pressed, I'd cough up about 15 bucks (but that's pushing it).

Haven't these people ever heard of sinking money into real estate, or perhaps nice stock funds?

They've picked out rather expensive rings.

Our rings are made out of titanium and they look like I picked them up at Ace Hardware or Home Depot.

Here I was fretting because of how much I had spent on our wedding outfits (though we're going to look pretty darn fabulous, if not just a teensy weensy odd). I fretted over the handmade cake topper!

However, we are also going to have the primo hoy paloy of California, Arizona and possibly New York society at our celebration (which, I understand from Michelle that it's being held in the parking lot of a Dunkin Donuts).

What could be better than the über-fabulous friends we have?

On a side note, Sukie asked me this evening if I'm looking forward to the wedding. I told him that the thought of being shackled to him for the rest of my life left me speechless.





.

Well I'm not sure I would spend the money after 12 years of marriage but it sure seemed ok at the time. Of course we didn't spend that much but it was a lot to us at the time! We wanted a huge 10 year "reception" but never did that after we started looking into the costs We would rather go with you guys on a Disney Cruise!

Mature couples know that it is the marriage that they invest into, not the wedding ceremony - which by the way makes them crazy! I think Oprah has done about 10 shows on this subject with Suze Orman telling young ladies how crazy this absurd hoopla is in the long run with their student loans and wedding bills. Statistically they keep proving over and over that so many early divorces are a result in investing into the ceremony and not into the relationship. We didn't get married until we were older and spent the majority of our money on our trip to WDW, but still had a beautiful small wedding in Laguna Beach. We made it all about having a dinner party with friends and then got married where they hold the art festival.

Well, at least we fit with the norm. Not that I'm not looking forward to celebrating, but something cozy with friends seems so much nicer.

We have watched every documentary about the FLW homes and would love, love, love that.

If you love architecture you will love Chicago, the birthplace of American architecture.

There are fascinating architectural walking tours (and a ton of them).

The most amazing thing is to be looking at a skyscraper in the Loop and stand there thinking that the building was built around 1930 or so and you find out that it was built around 1890!

Chicago is to architecture what Paris is to food. Chicagoans are obsessed with it (and OK, obsessed with really good pizza too.)

I'm so stuffed......we had steak marinated in teriakki and ginger (and it marinated an extra day so it was really good), hamburgers, italian sausage, roasted potatoes and onions, sauteed onions and garlic and a green salad. The cake was angel cake with chocolate mousse and cherries. Naturally, we drank CHAMPAGNE!!!!! Off the calorie count today......I'll get right back on it again tomorrow. But boy was everything yummy.....so good, so good. Here's pics of me and the kid. John was busy with the barby so I didn't get his pic.

Birthday boy.....he's 36 today:

Champagne Girl:

It sounds and looks like you guys had fun! I'm not about to drink some champagne right now but it would make the house work more fun

 

[gaylean93]

It's that LIFE thing Holly......getting in the way again......don't sweat it. Gaylean cheated coz she used pics from the original event onboard. But we can't say anything coz at least she posted pics. Thanks Gaylean.

I think the camera may be in a bag that I just realized I haven't unpacked I need it for Brooke's party on Saturday I don't want her thinking we skipped her 6th birthday!

What do you do with seven year olds that make them so excited they can't sleep? I knew you were a great grandmother
