20041218-cruise-friends-memories Part 4

[afff]

Well, good morning, btw. I'm running on not too many hours of sleep so if this seems a bit messed up, you'll know why.

Now with it getting SO close, I'm going to mention something now and probably repeat it a number of times between now and when we sail.

There are two things you're going to pick up on immediately with me, but I thought I'd better mention them now so as to not get anyone upset later.

First, I am slightly hard of hearing. Side effect of working in noisy environments without proper ear protection when I was younger. If there is a disruptive background noise(water noise, strong wind, large group, etc..) and you're not right in front of me, people talking sounds to me a lot like the adults in the old Peanuts cartoons, all I get is a blur. This is why I enjoy the forums so much, nothing wrong with my eyesight. So if you're talking to me and I don't seem like I'm focusing, it is because I'm focusing my hearing first, not really looking as hard.

Second. I have a very hard time attaching names to anything. Not just people, but it's most prevalent there. I'm hoping all this chatting and the photo gallery will help me. At least it's keeping everyone's names in my head. It's also one of the side motivations for my doing the button thing, as I'm more sensitive to it because I have such a hard time. Not the primary one mind you, the primary is so everyone can find each other thru the cruise, so keep those buttons on when you can. But don't get too bothered if I don't keep the names stuck to the faces at first, I will do my best, but I know I'll not get it all right away. It's me not you.

Ok, off to work now.

Not a problem what so ever Mark. I'm the same way with people's names.
I'm glad there is someone else like me.
I tend to have selective hearing as well ( too many sirens )

DIS Door Tag


Someone a couple of pages ago asked about door tag. Here is what LeiLani and I came up with.

LeiLani is in charge of making the Mickey heads and putting them on the first doors. I've passed on the list of all those who have signed up for tag and she will divide up that listing to the different heads.

When you find the Mickey head on your door you need to act on it within 12 hours. Sign your name and room number on the front, find another room on the list on the head, cross it off and go tag that room. Simple!

If when you get it all the assigned rooms have been crossed off you are free to tag any DIS room listed in the mini-nav with a T next to their room.

Please keep the Mickey Head moving so that everyone can join in the fun.

Thanks!


Woo Hoo! Starting the day off with an unexpected top!

Can't wait Mary

Afff reminded me......I also am deaf in one ear, and obviously have trouble with names (Lisa?) so, us hard of hearing folks can all find a quiet corner to stand in, and try to figure out who's who!!!

By the way, this way out west group arrives in WDW on the 17th at 4:30 (unless I miss my freeway exit!)and will be at the GF and MVMCP.

We plan on arriving at port at about 11:00. We will not be in the front of the line with the Scubafamily. We will be with the group of hard of hearing, bad memory, didn't lose any weight, can't walk very far, but very noisy group. Drinking coffeeeeee.
