Your wish is my command!!
This has got to be the new winner in the mascot competition!
Just had to tell everyone that although my 50th birthday isn't until tomorrow, that I've already had my first "Senior Moment". I had the sudden realization last night that I had mailed off our passport renewals on Monday but forgot to enclose the payment for the processing fee! When I told my DH about it this morning, he laughed and said that maybe they'll take pity on me and process them anyway. Uh-huh.... NOT. Of course, when they see my new passport photo and compare it to the one from 10 years ago, they really might want to take pity on me.
It's not the years... it's the miles.

One team is having a discussion as to whether they should be getting a gift for every family that has registered on this thread through AuntyBrat or will it be everyone who has some type of fish extender/stockening. I think I posed this question but thought I'd throw it out again. Anyone have any input?

I would say only those registered in this group. This group will probably be at least twice the size it is now by the time we're ready to cruise. Plus, by doing only those registered here we will know exactly how many gifts to bring.
I understand and I can really see how the project would quickly "lose its charm" trying to find people. The ship is huge! Running around and stressing out isn't what it's all about.having coordinated a gift exchange on our last cruise....I caution us about the delivery to those who don't have fish mailboxes. We ended up having to track people down and it lost it's charm after a while....I'd like to include everyone, but not have to deliver to a "person" but a location so that once we do it it can be done with. Clear as mud?
I agree. This seems very reasonable.I agree.
Those registered and have some type of fish extender. Maybe we should also consider a cut off date to be "registered". Which would leave the teams and individuals enought time to get their surprises together.

Noel: Have you heard anything on that concept of licking the banana slug? I figure you can snope it in the time it would take me to remember to snope it.
I agee.

This should be fun, right?
Being newbies to all of this great excitement and planning for the cruise our 2cents worth is to have a cut off date so we have time to order the gifts for all and that each stateroom needs some type of fish extender or what-not to put the gift in because I have leg weakness and sure would hate to have to try and run around finding folks.
Much more fun to sneak the gift in the fish extender and then run away (sort of reminds me of May Day as a child and leaving the cute little gifts at the door and running away).
I am considering doing the Minnie Marathon at WDW on May 6, but no one in my party is willing to go with me Has anyone ever done this? We'll see if I can drag myself onto the treadmill enough between now and then to get in shape to do it Most likely, I will figure I am on vacation and sleep in instead! I am not much of a runner anymore but I think it would be so neat to be running through WDW. This one is a 15K, starts at AK and finished at Epcot, with a stop through MGM. No MK though.

Of course now that I've said that I should just go do it, but alas....girl scout cookies call me (no not to eat) more cookie booths this weekend...the good news is Molly has already sold her 1000+ boxes so this is gravy selling no pressure.
talk with you all later tonight
Maybe you can call them and give a credit card over the phone??? Here is their phone number: 1-877-487-2778.
Now, don't tell me people lick that banana slug?!
Oh, and please tell we what 'snope' means?
Thanks, I already called first thing this morning but their voice mail system didn't have a number to punch for "D'oh"
