Happy Birthday Jeanne / jeanneg!!!
Good morning all.
I woke up and DS has not made it home yet. Boy is he in trouble.
Anyone is welcome on my soapbox any time, whether you agree with me or not, thats what it is for.
And WOW! Ive always wanted my own research slave. Adjunct faculty dont usually get research slaves!
You really are a lawyer arent you?

Yes, but under my revisionist history version, we get free trip. Care to reconsider your recollection?
We tired that with DS and got all the way to the elevator door at T of T and he was so upset the CM told us she would not put him on the ride. I understand their position but as a parent I knew he would be okay if he went. Probably would love it. But he has never even gone in line again.
Yes (but I'm also cheap/frugal/in search of a bargain/etc.)
Not at all. I am always impressed he managed to get people to spend so much money just to stand in line in the heat all day.
Happy Birthday Jeanne / jeanneg!!!
I don't get to take a vacation this year. <frown> I'm really jealous of all of the rest of you -- please post trip reports so I can live vicariously through you.
For all the people who are confused by math and statistics:
"I was reading an article today where it said 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese.
There are five people in my family.
I wonder which one is Chinese?"
At a computer software training course, a group of computer programmers were asked "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your company's software was responsible for the flight control software, how many of you would remain onboard?"
One man raised his hand. The instructor asked him why he would be willing to stay on board.
"Well, with my company's software, it's highly unlikely the plane would be able to taxi to the runway, let alone take off".
IIRC a couple of you here are daycare providers? I gotta know if I'm overreacting or what...
DW called and told me about the latest visit to the Y. Our Y offers 2 free hours of Child Watch which is nice because we don't have a babysitter as of yet. (One advertised on CraigsList and she's in our development but that's a story for later). Anyway, she went to sign DS in and the lady said he can go join the 2-year old group. Evidently he's not a baby anymore and can play with the big kids. The main difference is they have more structured activities but he could still hang out in the baby area.
So DW put him over there and asked the lady to please put his hat on him should he go outside. Yes, he'll probably take it off but he's pretty good about wearing it. She said no problem. Well she left and didn't pass the word to the next girl who came in. Yeah, you know where this is going...DW said a lady came up to her and asked if she is "Nathan's Mommy"--yes, that's her name now --and that she should go check on him. Well he was outside and when the girl went to bring him in...he was red as a beet!!!!Not only that but he was sopping wet from sweat and his diaper was about 5 pounds (not dirty, just wet)!!!! The girl sloughed it off saying he must have been playing hard...Well the mommy behind DW demanded to see her tow headed child and she was just as bad or worse! Well she started to raise holy helland I guess there's going to be a big pow wow tomorrow. Turns out the lady who normally runs that side wasn't in that day so I don't know if this was lack of training or what.
DS if feeling fine now...he had sunscreen on, sucked down his entire sippy cup in about 2 seconds and DW says he only has a little sunburn on his cheeks. Not sure how that other little girl will fare because she didn't have sunscreen on...
Hey everybody - somebody probably has posted but take at look at my siggie line?
I think I'm within guidelines - ok - don't laugh ok - but I calculated bytes and it looks like I'm in - but I'm a techno-phobic.
You all like?

I totally agree. My son who is 10 has suddenly decided he would really like to try softball. Well all the places that I have found, are the type of places where all the kids in the league have been playing since they were 4 and he would never get a great experience. Whatever happened to sports for fun not a career. I call it the Tiger Woods syndrome. Everyone is convinced that their child will be the next Tiger in their particular sport. We too did competitive swimming. All the parents would talk at about their 7 yo getting scholarships to college. I just thought it was so ridiculous. We just wanted exercise and fun.
There is also a meet and greet with CJS at the back end of the island where he is standing around piles of treasure.
Sorry if I overloaded you bandwidth with all of the pictures but I really wanted to share them with you. I will put together a slide show with all of the pictures I took and post that later.

I'm sorry if we can't encompass everyone
I have a feeling this thread is going to move fast all the way thru. There are members of the Blabbermouths and the DIS Geeks onboard and we all like to gab.
I DO FEEL BAD FOR YOU!! (and me!!)
I think employers should give us some kind of (paid of course!) mental health leave during all of this booking saga!!
Our request is in for this cruise! We are so excited it will be a reunion cruise with all of our PC Repo Ship of Fools friends and others. I see some familiar names here. I can't believe my daughter will be 11 at the time of this sailing. This will be our fifth sailing with some of the same folks, they are like family now.
On the last PC Repo cruise there were 2 formal nights, 2 semi-formal, one pirate night and one tropical. There was a lovely Princess tea hosted by Belle in Lumiere's.
We had no problems getting Palo reservations. You have the same amount of people on board with twice as much availability. I love how Disney really made an effort to improve the ports for this cruise. Of course more ports usually means more $$$.
It looks like this thread is off to a hearty start:
