Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[LindaBabe]

Sorry I didn't help with the post count today - too busy to even come in and see what's happening.

Hope you feel better Lynn - got a chuckle last night when I filled out the cruise docs and on the page where one enters the credit card info there were three people's names I didn't recognise. not that i could give them credit, mind you, they were just there. . . who the heck are they and what are they doing on my ressie . . . Then, it dawned on me, it was YOU all! lol

C'mon early diners - Join US for Dinner!

Tomorrow is the 18 hour scrapbook crop for the cure. I have 6 tons of stuff in the trunk, but I know I'll forget something. So, I'll be among the missing tomorrow - no computer access ALL day! How will I live?

OK, I've got it - one gift per family - regional or ornament under $10 - at 2:45 in . . . um . . . RATS it's that memory issue again. . . . well, somewhere where I see lots of turkey shirts!

Have a good night and happy Saturday!

Evening gang....
Kathy? How do we get Geoff over to this board without "upsetting" someone over there? I've already made Host Mick upset once or twice....

 

[JanDave]

Good Evening Everyone!

Go Tigers!!!
They can sweep Oakland out of the Motor City with another win tomorrow night.

Talk to all of you on Monday sometime. Leaving very early tomorrow morning for Columbus.

Night all....

Did everyone notice our very own Kathy the rabble-rouser getting everybody up in flames about the quality of entertainment on the Wonder over on the main board? All I can say is 'YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!'

So, with this new job comes a WHOLE LOT of new work. I am defiantely feeling the pinch. I am worried I have so much to do for the cruise and no time to do it in. I looked at my ticker and it's only a month and a half away - YIKES!!!!!!!!

I suppose we'll make it come hell or high water and I shouldn't stress about the small stuff but I just want everything to be so nice and that involves tuxes and Dockers for DH (2 things he has never attempted LOL) and hoping that DSs summer clothes still fit - not to mention hoping my formal and semi formal stuff still fits LOL. Oh well, when you see the ill-fitted grumpy looking family drinking Export and telling everyone to take off eh you will know how my prep work went LOL.

Anyway, all is well here - DH is on his way to Chicage (hi to all our Illinois friends ). He is driving so I hope the weather holds for him. There is some car show thingy down there so hope all goes well. DS and I are holding the fort with DD (dear dog) this weekend and it is supposed to be COLD so we'll likely spend a fair amount of time indoors. Maybe I could drag DS to the Mall to get our regional-non-food-ornament-Disney-influenced-under $10-piece of junk but not junk for the Yankee-but not Yankee-stealing match at 3pm-no 2:45pm-no 1:01 at Signal-no Promenade-CALGON TAKE ME AWAY

Hope 'y'all' (is that right Southerners?) have a good night now y'hear, eh

evening all.....well I talked DH into doing a "little" shopping tonight. All I really wanted to shop for was dog chews and treats at this one store. I figured $25-$30 dollars....by the time we checked out it as well over 100.00 and guess what all for the dogs and DH I walked out with nothing!! I have to quit taking him shopping with me..

Nothing else going on....will be heading to bed soon...

Talk with you all in the morning....

Denise

Oh by the way....did'nt I read a while back, that the Magic was getting new mattress and linens for their rooms?

 

[JanDave]

Good Morning Nanas!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. On my way to Columbus to see my 2 Morgantown, WV precious angels.

Talk to you in a few days.

Jan

Morning all,
Bill i dont know for sure, the "Host" has deleted a few of my posts when I tried to mention this thread to someone too. There is NO PM messaging there either. I thought about posting my e-mail addrress, but I hate to go that public with it, maybe we should create a new e-mail just to give him and ask him to send an e-mail to one of us because we want to tell him something that we cant post here. Maybe he will respond and then we can tell him?? Does that make sense to you??? I will tell you that I dont know how to set up an e-mail address, my DS did mine, I am a computer "Dummy"!! But if you tell anyone I will deny it!!! So it is up to you if we try this or else I have to wait until DS comes around to help me set up an address, which i can do but it will be a couple of days. let me know what you think??

Tiggerking,
Your right, Minnie is the BOSS of the house, but the other guy is the Boss of the work, which we need to buy all the milk bones, and chew sticks for minnie. She wasnt too happy when we got home because she could smell their 2 dogs on us, she looked at us as if we were traitors or something??She will be especially happy with us this morning as we are heading to Petco to use their self serve BATH!! NOT her favorite thing!!!

Sarah,
Ya that was me on the forum, I posted here briefly about it too!! I am afraid if they get away with it on the Wonder, they will soon do it on the Magic. I love the live music, so I wont let it go down without a fight. I may not get it back, but they will know how I feel.
I posted it on 3 different cruise boards and have got a great response from people, plus I posted about it on upcoming Wonder cruises hoping people will complain when they fill out their comment cards on board as well as e-mail DCL about how they feel.
This sweet, kind, passive granny can turn into a nastyTasmanian devil mighty fast when crossed the wrong way!! I havnt had a good "tussle" in awhile.

The funny thing is, I know I am the only person to write DCL and ask if these rumors were true and they responded to both letters, so they have to know I am behind all of the letters they are getting from people. They may put my name on the "Black" list. I am going to check out my room for ****y traps really good once we board. Maybe Tiggerking will change rooms with me, we are neighbors on board?

Jan, have a great trip, and be sure and spoil those grandkids rotton while you can!!

well the morning is slipping away, it is 6:30 a.m. already, i'd better get moving. I will check back in later and see how many posts we have.

Good Saturday Morning To You All,
Today I am feeling alittle better but not 100%.DH is painting the hallway because we are our house on the market when we get back from the cruise. We want something bigger and a nice backyard for DS to play!!! Well today I am going to Sam's Club and Babies R US for formula. I love the new Sam's Club Click-N-Pull. You go on the Sam's Club website and order everything you need and when you go to Sam's Club you chart is all ready and all you need to do is pay. It is great for me with DS. Today I am making 2007 calenders with DS pictures for both Grandma's, Aunts and me!! I think that will keep me busy for awhile!!

Are we doing Disney or Regional ornaments for the gift exchange!!

Jan: Wow your Tigers are on Fire!! Have a good trip!!

Denise: When I shop now too it is always for DS and DH!! I learned that I need to treat myself once in awhile to something !!!

Linda: You are too funny !! You got all you paperwork for the cruise already?? Lucky !! I did all that I can on-line last week when DS was napping!! Have fun scrapbooking for the Cure.

Good morning everyone!

Another cold, but day here! It's supposed to start warming up over the next couple of days -- back to the 60's.

No major plans scheduled for the weekend. Just some housework and football viewing.

Have a great day everyone!

Cheri

P.S. Kathy, I'll put in my 2 cents' worth about music on the Magic.

 

[Dixielady908]

Morning all:
Gee Kathy, I hope Disney dosn't blacklist ya!!

Well I at this time actually dont know what my plans are for this weekend. Right now Wally is still sleeping but there was talk of him going for a ride on his bike with a couple of friends. However, the weather isn't that warm and he may not go. So if he does go, I think I will take myself shopping, I need a few more things for the trip. If he dosnt go, most likely we still will go shopping as he still needs a suit. Either way, I will be spending some money today .

Well I willl be back later. Going to get going and get a few things done around here while it's still quite.

Later
Denise

Uh oh...I may have to look at changing rooms to the other end of the ship if you are getting blacklisted. I don't want the Mouse upset with me when I cruise!

 

[cruisemutt]

Just so ya know Bob...ME AND WOO are at the other end of the ship. I guess you had better do some hard thinking before you change rooms over a lil "black-listing". Choose your evils buddy.... Blacklisted----Woo and Mutt....Blacklisted----Woo and Mutt. I dont envy you! Hope everyones day is going well. Its a cold, dank day in Ohio but maybe it will clear up....in 6 weeks!

Have a good one, everybody~

Good Saturday Morning, Banana Heads

Just back from the gym ... a cold walk today as it was probably around 40 and quite windy on my way there and back.

But like Cheri, we'll be in the 60s starting Monday, which is much more seasonal.

This weekend is one of the saddest of the year for me ... I have to start winterizing the flower beds, which means cutting down and discarding all my once beautiful but now brown and dead annuals and perennials Plus just over the last few days our leaves changed dramatically and starting falling and blowing everywhere. For those of you bragging about "oh, it's sooooo hot", I say

.

Sarah and Linda: you 2 had me laughing so hard at your descriptions of the "plans" for the meets and gift exchange . Lynn, I think we agreed on regional gifts.

Catch youze guyz later

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Boy,
I am starting to feel very unwanted here???

Glad I am not in Tiggerking shoes, I wouldnt want to have to choose between me and mutt

I may be shunned to the galley with the dirty dishes by the my cruise mates before I am done causing trouble!!!

Cheri,
Thanks for voicing your opinions too. it all helps!! I do appreciate it.
Anything about either ship is great.


well Minnie is snubing us after her bath.

Time to dash off to walmart.
I will check in this afternoon to see what is happening around here

Greetings all.
It's been a rough week in the jd99 house. DD2 1/2 has pneumonia (for the second time) and thus neither DW or I have gotten any sleep. She is on the mend now but geez what stress...plus I had to attend a fundraiser a few nights ago on no sleep and DW couldn't come because DD2 1/2 was still coughing a bit too much to leave her with a babysitter..even grandma.

Today DW and DD8 are at the mall. All DD8 wanted for her eighth birthday was a day at the mall with mommy -- and NO little sister! Can't say I blame her as the little one is beyond a handful on mall trips. We were very spoiled with DD8 who was well behaved in all social situations, a great restaurant kid, a great airplane kid and never got sick. Take the complete opposite of all that and you have DD 2 1/2.

I think I need a vacation. Good thing I have two coming up. Heading to Tampa/St. Pete a couple of weeks before the cruise with a buddy for the Pitt-South Florida game.

Hope everyone is having a great day and that your college teams are winning (mine won last night 52-7 vs. the Disney Hometown team, UCF). That is, unless there are any closet penn state fans out there.. THen I'm afraid I have to tell you I'm saying "Go Blue" today and I don't mean the Nittany Lions.

 

[disneediva]

Hi All,
Slow morning here. I dropped some dresses off at the cleaners so I wouldn't have a whole lot right before the cruise.

Oops I forgot I did soem shoppingh yesterday and I got my pirate costume all set
I'll check in later

[TIGGER41681]

Hello All ,
Went to Sam's Club with DS this morning. DS is cutting a tooth so he has been cranky all day !! Took my capri pants and skirt to the cleaners so I can wear them on the cruise. Well I am going to prepare dinner and maybe make a chocolate layer cake. Talk to you later.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

hello,
well it was a quiet day around here today.
we got Minnie her bath, bought DH some clothes, then took Minnie for a 2 mile walk, and fixed biscuits and gravy for dinner.
Not very exciting but it was a nice day.


Lynn,
Think of this tooth as practice for you, he has MANY, MANY more to come in.
I dont want to be discouraging, but this is only the beginning!!!
I had 2 kids cutting teeth at the same time once. Augghh!!! Never again!!!
I wish both of you the best!! rest when you can.


Kathy

Evening all:

Wally and I have been talking about the gift exchange and he did bring up some good points (shhhh...dont tell him that I said that)

When we do our christmas ornament exchange, this is usually a total of 19 people. It takes us a good 1- to 1 1/2 hours to do this. So we were thinking that instead of doing this on the first day with just about an hour to get this done, why dont we do it like Sunday...sea day? We can meet when everyone has nothing planned and do the exchange. If you think this may be getting to complicated, then we can just keep it for saturday afternoon. This was just a thought..

Kathy, questions for you....November, when we sail....5pm do you still have daylight or is it dark out? We turn our clocks, so this time of year for us, 5pm its dark already. Just curious.

Well did not leave the house all day today. Wally got up very late, then decided to cut the lawn, I pulled the garden apart....then he wanted to go out to dinner, but I just didnt feel like it. Then we checked the lottery number and guess what????!!!!! He won 250.00 so he was very excited, but we still stayed in. So now plans are getting up early tomorrow, going to breakfast then do some shopping. Hope thoes plans pan out.

Have a great evening everyone.....Oh has anyone gone into cruise trip reports and seen the sail-away video on you-tube? It was soooo neat.....I just cant wait I am just warning everyone that when that horn sounds, I will probably start crying..... yeah I know, I'm a huge sap...

Talk with you all later
Denise

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Denise ,
It is still daylight until around 6 p.m.

good night all.
