For the first (and probably last) time I have officially achieved the blessed nirvana state of ketchup!!!!!! (TG for 4 hour conference calls.....)

I am so glad you feel the joy!

So where did you stash the camera while you were in the theater?

All my pics were taken in the lobby. Once we were let in, I checked my cell phone and camera with Guest Services. Others got in with theirs, but as soon as they took them out, there was someone right there making them go check it.

It is here http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race11/shows/ep05/.

Sorry, I thought that they had the AR show since they have Survivor.

But I can't see any way to see the full episode, just read about it. Oh well.



LOL. You must have edited right when I quoted you.

Got this from the Budget Board

Details

I just ordered 8 pins for a total including tax $25.62. There are Lion King and Mary Poppins on Broadway pins that retail for $4.99, but with the code, it only charged $2.99. Plus it's free shipping Mondays.

Great deal for traders. Someone on that thread asked if the Broadway pins are tradable, and yes they are, we've traded with them before.

Just a quick post to say that I won't be on for a while -- family emergency. We've even had to cancel our cruise for this Saturday.

Did you say Titanic? Disney style?

Just don't post a nude pencil sketch of Minny....

What a fun day.

My son and I got to attend the POT 3 preview. The trailer is awesome. I can't wait until May.

Sweet! I can't wait until May, either. I'll be catching a special midnight viewing of POC 3 at DTD on May 25th! Woo Hoo!!!

I'm sure everyone knows about the new Disney dollars that were available starting today at Disneyland.

Pretty Cool.

I hadn't heard. That's wicked cool!!! Thanks for posting it.

Yeah, DW mentioned that this may have been the cause for dear DKitty's sudden decline in health prompting us to have her put down At least she had a long 14 years.

My heart goes out to you!! My cat was diagnosed with CRF (Chronic Renal Failure) last spring and we thought she was going to have to be put down, too. She was 9 at the time. Vet said she didn't need to be put down if we could care for her. We said we'd try and she was immediately put on a prescription food, an antibiotic, PhosLo, Pepcid & we had to give her 100ccs lactated ringers, subcutaneously. The fluids was the hardest part. Ever try to give a cat an IV??? Not easy, let me tell you. They say they get used to it, not my cat. Anyway, many cats in her condition are on this regiment for life. Thankfully, it's almost a year later and she is down to prescription food and 100ccs of fluids about once or twice a week.

Thankfully my cat only eats dry food, but the vet said that while she couldn't say for sure, it could have been caused by "grocery store" brand foods.

LOVE THE PICTURE!!

We have to take one of our kitties to the vet this evening. She's losing a bunch of her hair on her rear legs/hips and back. We thought for a while that she was overgrooming, like an OCD type thing...But the skin seems really irritated and red, so we're taking her in. I always get so nervous taking my cats to the vet. It only takes one trip to the vet and getting the "really bad news" to make you a little hesitant to take them in.

Not sure if you've reposted, but I wanted to say that my cat had this problem when we first got her. Turns out she was allergic to fleas. Not the best things but it's easy enough to take care of. Hope she fairs well.

Here's another P3 tidbit

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2962715

Just a quick, funny scene. It's hilarious.

That made me LOL!! Just makes me even more excited for my May trip!!

The news just did a story on the i***t that jumped off of the Carnival ship. They said he was not talking about why ..... DUH!!

 

[daipp]

I know it's a long time before we leave BUT something that's been nagging me for a few weeks about this cruise.......

How do we go about "one-way" rentals for tuxedos / dinner-suits etc - collecting in California and drop-off in Florida. Coming from the UK, I really do not want to have to bring dinner-suits for me and my son. There'll be enough luggage with he dresses for my wife and daughter without adding to it !! Also, I'll be bringing two rugby jerseys for Castaway Cay !!

Any previous eastbound repo cruisers remember what they did?

Any help, as always is greatly appreciated.

David

Earliest uses
Slate's Daniel Engber dates the modern usage to 1974 college campuses, where it was perhaps an outgrowth of the Vietnam War. The origins of the phrase are uncertain, with some speculating that it may refer to being "out in the open" or "ready for action." According to Engber many soldiers do go without underwear to "increase ventilation and reduce moisture." The earliest known use of the term in print is January 22, 1985 when Jim Spencer wrote in the Chicago Tribune:

Furthermore, colored briefs are 'sleazy' and going without underwear ('going commando', as they say on campus) is simply gross".​

"Going commando" may also come from the mistaken idea that "commandos" go into an area "without cover."

The origin of the term "going commando" may connect to the tradition in military units of Scottish heritage to not wear underwear under their kilts. The first Commando units were raised and trained in Scotland in WW2 (which is where the present-day Commando Monument is).

------

Going commando appears to be an increasingly popular practice. A 2004 study of 7,000 people by the New York-based clothier Freshpair revealed that 9% of men and 7% of women go commando day-to-day. Those who do so semiregularly are much more numerous, possibly around 25-30%, and most people have tried it at some point.

Thanks for the info ........ I think.


Not me ...... ever!


Should we take a poll? ......... NOT!!!

Here's to hoping whatever it is works out. You have our thoughts and prayers. Lois

I was at church. I haven't figured out how to DIS during the services yet.

I appreciate all of the suggestions to help me with this problem.

What I failed to mention is that usually I am a part of the program at church. Many times I am the one who is delivering the sermon so most of the suggestions still won't work.

A quick posting to say hi and to share what I've been up to today.

Went to the Ultimate Fan Event in SF. Tons of people in pirate garb. A few give aways. Saw P1 on the big screen again....awesome to see the one that started it all. Then at the very end, the P3 trailer....that's one EPIC movie...they even showed the trailer twice so we could catch bits that we didn't see the first time around.

Can't wait for MAY 25.

This is way cool! It looks like you all had fun.

I missed the last 20 min of the race as the game pushed everything back and I only extend that 30 min.Oh well, I got the info off the site. Glad for them. I wasn't happy about who came in first They just annoy me. I'd like to see C&M get to the yucky eating challenge

I have TiVo set for this show's regular time plus an hour and a half! I got tired of missing any of it.

I too was disappointed in the end of the last show. "Yucky Eating Challenge" would be cool for them but I still want them gone.
