Hey everyone....

Tom... I feel your pain and hope that with time it gets better for ya. A cruise ('specially with this "bunch") will hopefully do some healing for ya.

Bob....great quote...I had to paste that into my 'puter this morning

Those of you with colds, flus and such....STOP IT! We need a healty bunch of bananas on the boat---I dont wanna see splotchy ol nanas-(Wendy I thought you would know better....grrrrr---do I have to come down and bark some sense into you?).

Have a good day everyone...and stay healthy!

WOW!!!
You guys really did a lot of posting while I was at the store!!
Guess I dont get to flog anyone

Wendy,Lynn and Carrie here is some so all of you will get well soon!! Take it easy and get better.
I promise I wont get out the whip for you guys if you miss a day or two, since your not feeling good. See what a big softy I can be
But day 3 may be a different story!!

Ok, for door signs there is no wrong way to do them. Sometimes I do like Linda and find clip art or a family picture and print it on a magnetic sheet, using the computer then I use stickers that are letters to write, names or dates and such. You can print them too, but I am not good about changing margins on the computer to make it all fit, so i use stickers.

I have also bought tropical and disney stickers and just done a theme with them. example put Castaway Cay across the top of the page and then have mickey with a sand castle and pluto on a lounge chair watching him, with a crab or star fish nearby, then in the air has some sea gulls flying around. It is very simple yet looks really tropical and nice.

I have also cut out pictures of disney characters from magazines and cards and glued them onto the magnetic page. That looked good too.

Some people put their kids pictures on the sign and say something like Johnny's first cruise with Mickey!!! 11/25/06
Or magical memories or when you wish upon a star, or A Magical Vacation
Any caption you want. If your celebrating a birthday or anniversary it is fun to do one telling about that too.

Just do anything that comes to mind, there is no right or wrong, just keep it clean, this is disney after all

We always take a little time each day to walk around a different deck looking for door signs, we have seen some really elaborate ones and some very simple ones that kids have made, they were all cute.

One time my oldest grandaughter took a picture of DH asleep on deck 4 with his mouth wide open and put it on the door sign, then she wrote:
Here's my grandpa on deck 4
Oh my how he can SNORE!!
If you see him around the ship,
Please tell him you saw this.

People came up to Greg all week long and said, hey arnt you the guy on the sign?? He didnt have a clue what she had done until she took him to see her door. So you can have a lot of fun with them too.

Good Afternoon ,
Well this was a 1st since DS was born. We took a 2-hour nap together so we missed Mommy an Me. I don't know if I will have time before the cruise to make a door sign. I have to get all my presents wrapped and the house decoarated before we leave. Well DS is crying let me go!!

Shell: I would LOVE to do your shopping !!!

 

[TiggerKing]

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Kelly: I haven't ever seen Charles Swindoll in person, but we did use a series of his sermons for Sunday School lessons last year. I really enjoyed hearing him.

Everyone: I am glad you enjoyed the quote. That is one of my favorites.

Well all, I am trying to get my knee to straighten out. I thought everything was going great, and then about a week ago it started giving me trouble and now it is really hurting. I will probably visit the doctor this week to determine if there is a knee brace that I can use to help it out. I hope he doesn't mention the "S" word, because no one is cutting on me before this cruise! So, if you see me on the ship and I am moving around awful slow, you will know why. I told Lisa the other night that I needed to find an old Garth Brooks song, and start using it as my theme song. The title is "Much Too Young to Fell This Da$% Old".

I hope he doesn't mention the "S" word

Why would your Dr mention "SNOW"???

Couple random thoughts.

-- I'd like to make small sticker / magnet copies of our tee shirt front. Computer wizards, any ideas how that might be done?

-- IF we were to get a shutters photographer to come to the promenade lounge meet, how would we each get a copy of the photo?

-- Hope all you folks who are ill are feeling better SOON!

Okay, I promise not to do this too often, but since I shared one quote and so many were receptive of it, I had to share one more (see, this will teach you to encourage me ). The quote is from Theodore Roosevelt in 1910. It hung in one of my locker rooms when I played football in school:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Linda,
our gd had a group shot taken in the teen club and each kids just asked and they printed up as many as was needed. we couldnt find the picture so we asked and they said they would print as many as needed.

Shutters is closed when we board, so if you want a photographer someone would have to call ahead of time and try to set it up. I know photographers are on board, so they should be able to do the pictures. I really have NO idea how to do that.

Sorry I cant help with your other question, good luck!!

-- I'd like to make small sticker / magnet copies of our tee shirt front. Computer wizards, any ideas how that might be done?

Linda, if you can locate one of the pictures for the shirt on this thread, just right-click on it and then click on "Save Picture As" and you can save the graphic. Then you can use it to create the magnets. Or, Tonya could just re-post the design...

-- IF we were to get a shutters photographer to come to the promenade lounge meet, how would we each get a copy of the photo?

We could get a CM to take a picture with one of the digital cameras, and then each person could receive a copy of the jpeg and print in whatever size they want. That is another alternative.

Bob, the quotes you are posting are inspiring and touch me with their simplicity and fortitude in reminding us of that which is important. With that, I'd like to share a quote that inspire me. It comes from the great philosopher, Jeff Spicoli:

All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

I'm so sorry for ruining your serious moment. SOMEONE GET ME ON THAT #($&@*&$^# SHIP!!!

You ain't right!

Speaking of ... where is Jamie? And Cheri? And Wendy (yeah, yeah, she says she's sick but I don't really believe it!)?

 

[LindaBabe]

TiggerKing- yes digital camera - duh. I even have one! I'll swear working with all those chemicals is making me brain dead. . . I guess I could just scan my tee shirt too. hmm. just what I need - more to do!!!!

Here's something cool ... for those thinking about experiencing the airport on St. Maarten, I actually found the inbound and outboard flight schedule:

Good Evening ,
Hello !! Well did not feel like cooking so we are having leftovers. All I have to do is make Polenta to go with the Chicken. DH is coming home early so I have rest and he can take care of DS. What a guy !! Well I am going to play with DS !!! Talk to you all later!!!

 

[favoriteslave]

Linda:

For you

Everyone pray for Trey tonight. I've got the scrapping bug and im going to storage. I used to sell Creative Memories and have a lot of stuff that needs to come home. He has no idea what is about to happen to his life.

 

[pgfour]

Why would your Dr mention "SNOW"???

I wondered the same thing. . .

 

[pgfour]

HI everyone! I'm back!!!!!

Shell wins a free drink on board for playing the "Guess Who Hasn't Posted Lately" game!!

My laptop keeps telling me there's no hard drive installed. Anyone a computer whiz out there?? Bill keeps telling me to call one of our clients who's a guru, but I don't have 2+ hours to listen to him ramble about all sorts of things before he solves my problem. So now I have to share a computer with Bill again. . .

Tom -- sorry to hear about your losses over the past few years. How very tragic. Glad to hear the insurance part worked out the way it's supposed to. Hope you're enjoying those puppies even when they're in all sorts of trouble!

Shell -- no flu shot here. It just seems that everyone I know who has gotten one gets pretty sick afterward. Hopefully I won't have any problems this year.

NO cruise docs yet, but my TA will personally deliver them to our drop box at work as soon as they arrive.

Here's some for those of you who are a bit under the weather or injured.

Gotta go for now -- but I'll be back. . .Bill has an appointment tonight so he won't be back for a few hours.

Cheri

Hello everyone, fellow DIS, this will be my first post. I am momx4,grandx4, husband Greg. I have diligently read these reports but have never actually posted one. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and have thoroughly enjoyed the awesome support and wonderful input all have shared. My wife probably would have preferred I post sooner than this, because she is so excited to meet all of you, however, there has never been a greater procrastinator than me. So, better late then never. Kathy and I are extremely anxious for this cruise, although, Kathy is always extremely excited about cruising, actually, if as long as I keep her in upcoming cruises I have peace in my house.

Greg, The Hammer

We are renting a car and have to return it on Saturday. DH wants to drop us at the port about 9:30. Does anyone know if you can get in this early? I have read that it does not open until 10:00. Can we just wait outside? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Lorna
