"You did not seem like a stranger at all, but like someone I had known forever. "

Everytime I meet a FReeper, it's that way. It's like a friend you haven't seen in years.

I am definately going on the next cruise. Last one was 1985, I'm way overdue! Waiting for the pictures........

Donato did call me, right in the middle of my Friday night soccer game (I coach a bunch of energetic, and slightly disoriented 4 and 5 year olds), and I couldn't talk right then and there, I called him back later and couldn't reach him or Ruthy.

I do hope to meet you again, soon.

also to Mr. abner who swims in his clothes (I couldn't get it in the To: box)

Waiting for the pictures........

Me too! I'll take my camera to one-hour photos tomorrow. I don't think I got any good ones because my husband had the camera most of the time. lol.

[WIMom]

It's great to hear everyone had fun, the trip was successful, everyone is safely home and there were no policital activities that spoiled the fun!

[WIMom]

The new system doesn't allow fun things in the to: box anymore. It's going to be tough typing 2ndMostConservativeBrdMember during the fundraiser. We opted for 2nd, 2MCBM, or something like 2ndlongestnameeveronfreerepublic.

Wasn't David Horowitz supposed to be on this cruise? Did he cancel?

[chuck allen]

Could you clear up the Horowitz rumors for me. Is he sick, having surgery or something? Is he gonna be ok? I hope so. Certain hateful people are just dying to know the truth so they can twist it a little/alot. :)

Glad you guys had fun.

I too, have to thank the entire cruise committee for a wonderful experience!
I felt privileged to associate with so many wonderful freepers.
It felt like I was in the company of freeper royalty since I had read some of the attendees posts for so many years :=)
I also have to thank my dinner companions for making me feel so welcome!

The staff of the ship took very good care of us and I hope to travel on Royal Caribbean again someday...
(I just hope they have Fox News on board instead of CNN by then)

Hahaha. She's going to miss her bumps now. My name is not too easy either and I miss lots because of a dropped decimal or no space or misspelled AntiFeminazi or Mrs./Miss instead of Ms...

but I'm not complaining! Please call me MAF lol ;)

[IronJack]

Anyone care to help the HTML-impaired post a few pictures? I have gotten them developed, they've been scanned, and now reside in bmp format on my hard drive, but I can't seem to post them.

Question: do the pictures appear when you "preview" the post? All I get is a graphics box but no image.

[Bob J]

Mr. Horowitz had an emergency just prior to the trip and was forced to cancel. Passengers were notified but we didn't make a general announcement out of concern for his privacy.

[WIMom]

Well, you have to convert them to jpeg images, store them on the internet somewhere, then post. I don't have a personal web site, so, I e-mail (not freep mail) my pictures to other freepers who I know can do it for me.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Wow, you're fast! Thanks Bob. :)

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

I can post them on my angelfire account if you want to e-mail them to me. I'm pretty sure you have my e-mail addy. If not, I'll Freepmail it to you anyway.

[chuck allen]

Ok thanks. Thats what I thought.

[IronJack]

FReepmail me.

[DoughtyOne]

If successful, you should see the graphics (photos) when you preview. To place graphics on posts, you need to place them on an internet site. Then you link them into your post.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

I already did! LOL

[DoughtyOne]

Unless your eMail account works differently than mine, I'd suggest you have people send you only a few photos per each eMail. If they're BMPs you may wish to have them limit to one per eMail.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Good suggestion D1. IJ, send only 4 or 5 pics per e-mail please.
