Howie: smile this time.<br /><br />Well I finally got the new TV out of the SUV and into the family room, only took 48 hours since we purchased it.  Now have the schedule the removal of the old one by the Charity we are giving it to.  Then I&#39;ll worry about unpacking the new one and getting it hooked up and operational.<br /><br />Got the new cordless phone system, installed, fully programed, and I love it&#33;&#33;  Almost look forward to phone calls not, well ALMOST.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />  WE got a five phone system by Uniden there DECT 6.0 model.  Hightly recommend it if you are in the market.<br /><br />Just heard from our TA who advised me that Carnival printed the tickets on Dec. 26th and they are enroute to him.  He will get them out to our group of 70 as soon as he receives them.  In the meantine he is shipping the T-Shirts, lanyards, door signs, name tage etc. to me to be handed out at my final pre-cruise briefing on Januafy 16th.  Now I&#39;ve got to start thinking about what to do for an encore next year.<br /><br />The &quot;Official&quot; word in Las Vegas is that the New Years Eve Fireworks Display will be smaller this year.  Also, the weather is a little &quot;iffy&quot;, to say the least  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <br /><br />Jenn: So you were a Sunday School Teacher??  Well, so am I.  I teach one or two adult classes a year, but only on very special subjects.  Like &quot;Cracking the Di Vinci Code&quot; which I did last year.  In February, I&#39;m doing &quot;Understanding Mormonism&quot; to be followed later in the year by &quot;Understand ISLAM.  Because I try and stay with current and relivent subjects I usually have a standing room only class.<br /><br />Enought already from me.  Lunch is calling.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />
