August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

[jhemond]

Four best friends met at the hospital since their wives were giving births to their babies. The nurse comes up to the first man and says, "Congratulations, you got twins." The man said "How strange, I'm the manager of Minnesota Twins." After awhile the nurse comes up to the second man and says, "Congratulations, you got triplets." Man was like "Hmmm, strange I worked as a director for the "3 musketeers." Finally, the nurse comes up to the third man and says "Congratulations, you got twins x2." Man is happy and says, "Ironic, I work for the hotel "4 Seasons." All three of them are happy until they see their last buddy jumping all over the place, cursing God and banging his head on the wall. They asked him what's wrong and he answered, "What's wrong? I work for 7up"!

Ok....Last one.....

A man goes on a 2-month business trip to Europe and leaves his cat with his brother. Three days before his return he calls his brother.
Brother 1: So how is my cat doing?
Brother 2: He's Dead
Brother 1: He's Dead! What do you mean He's Dead! I loved that cat. Couldn't you think of a nicer way to tell me! I'm leaving in 3 days. You could of broke me to the news easier. You could of told me today that she got out of the house or something. Then when I called before I left you could of told me, Well, we found her but she is up on the roof and we're having trouble getting her down. Then when I call you from the airport you could of told me, The Fire Department was there and scared her off the roof and the cat died when it hit the ground.
Brother 2: I'm sorry...you're right...that was insensitive I won't let it happen again.
Brother 1: Alright, alright, forget about it. Anyway, how is Mom doing?
Brother 2: She's up on the roof and we're having trouble getting her down.

DD had her 1st Karate tournament this past Saturday and she ended up with 2 trophies. 1st place for weapons and 3rd place for form. She is very proud of her trophies! It was fun to watch her!

~*~THANK YOU "Tracy" for the WONDERFUL NEWSLETTER!!!~*~

I just received it then read it - it's sooooo very good!!!​

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

OK, at cafe' press it says that the person with the store can make a profit, well, I don't want to and I will not give out any tax/identifying information to such a site anyway. (I activated the Sisterhood merchandise design there). If anyone wants to take over this store and take advantage of the profit or give it to a charity, let me know - and - let me know how to transfer it to your name too. (Or maybe my dh could figure out how to do this.)

Also, Laura (AuntyBrat), hope you are doing great! As soon as your treatments are over, let's meet for at Kay's Cafe! Hugs to you, and be good!

 

[winotracy]

too many problems tonight so I forgot to post here. Yes the newsletter came out! If you don't have an e-mail from me, check your spam folders again. This one is smaller, but not as pretty because of problems I had, which I will work out before the next one! I hope you all enjoy it! (Paul and Barbara, everyone got theirs on 3/14, I'm like the magazine publishers, I get it out before the date on the cover lol)

Tracy,
Once again, great job with the newsletter!

Val,
I love the map! As I was reading the article, I started thinking that it would be cool to see dots for everyone's hometowns. I can't wait to see the finished map(s).

Paul

PS. PD to all those not feeling well. It looks like a snowless week here for a change ...and Spring is less than a week away!

Another terrific job, Tracy. Thank you SO much!!!!!

I may look into just getting a booster instead of the fold-up car seat. Kaleigh will be almost 3 by the cruise.

I bought one of those high back booster seats with the 5 point harness for Haley. It is a lot lighter than her carseat and it still fits in the carry bag so Lenny can carry it through the airport. I use that on the plane and she falls asleep as we're going down the runway and usually sleeps the whole 2 1/2 flight to Orlando. This seat has arm rests and a cupholder too so she loves it since it's like the seats Mommy and Daddy are sitting in. It works great and only cost us about $60 when we bought it. I heard the foldable ones aren't that great for safety so I think the $60 was well spent.

I tried to order but it is only good for U.S. addresses
Guess S.O.L. again..

Cheers,
Grumbo

Grumbo, if you want you can have your order sent to me and I'll bring it with us with your nametags. Just let me know.

I received a package today from Barb (Mom2BelleandPeterPan) with the requested park maps and such. However there was so much more! I (opps we) also received 2 Grand Californian postcards, a Grand Californian magnet, a Grand Californian pin, a purple mickey ant. topper and a very cute Stitch beanie baby dressed up as the easter bunny!

It was all so incredibly generous of her and very much appreciated.

It is truly amazing how super people are that you have never meet before.

Looking forward to meetine everyone!

Dan

P.S. Barb you will get a private thong dance to thank you in person! Maybe you could sell that on ebay and make thousands of dollars!

I also received a package from Barbara yesterday for Haley and it was a wonderful surprise. She got an adorable Minnie Mouse winter hat with Minnie Ears and bow on top, a cute little Easter Bunny Piglet beanie and a cute little thing that you put in water to make a towel with Winnie the Pooh and Piglet on it.

Barbara - Thank you so much for these beautiful gifts. Haley wore her new hat last night and looked adorable.

I agree Dan - that I can't wait to meet all you wonderful people. We are really going to have a great time with the great friends we've made along the way.

Great newsletter Tracy!! Thanks for all your hard work!

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

Sheesh! I am gone for like a day and come back to 3 pages of deleted posts from Mel. What gives?

Just today realized that "Paul" is/are really 2 Pauls! NYPaul and OregonPaul. Sorry I've been confusing you two! Hope I haven't posted as such.

Marsha - So sorry to hear of your injury!! Hope it's just a sprain and that you are feeling better today already.

Tracy - Awesome newsletter once again! You da bomb!

Mark - You can put the 2 asterisks after my name on the bus list. None of the fifteen of us has return plane tickets yet so our info is TBA. Also, since we were late comers to the bus list, I never got the PM with the payment info. Could you send that to me please? Then I can get the $$ to you.

 

[piglet33]

Sheesh! I am gone for like a day and come back to 3 pages of deleted posts from Mel. What gives?

I was wondering the same thing. What's going on?

 

[piglet33]

Yippee, the boards are back.
