Good morning, Crazies&#33;<br /><br />I have been trying to catch up since working all w/e.  Y&#39;all were chatty&#33;&#33; <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 />Joey- welcome back&#33;&#33;  You surely were missed&#33; Glad you had a good time.  Were you able to have a margarita for me?  If not, wine works well.  We loved Vintages on Mariner.  Are you rested?  I  bet David is glad to have you home&#33;<br /><br />Hector- welcome&#33;&#33;  I have 3 granddaughters: Alexandria 10, Ashley soon to be 4 and Aubrey 2.  You are so right; they wear you out&#33;   We love the Jewel; so far our favorite ship&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Donna- glad you made money on the garage sale but sorry it got rained out.  Please take care with your cough.<br /><br />Steve-glad to hear Gramps&#39; report is okay per the doctor.  I think it&#39;s great you will be taking him to the ballgame.  Hope he has a great time.<br /><br />James- Happy Victoria Day&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl- let me know how the bike does; looking for something else to do other than walking.  Used to ride a bike all over.   Maybe I can start again.<br /><br />Jackie- your RV place sounds great&#33;  I love all kinds of seafood and your clambake just sounded heavenly.<br /><br />Robert- thinking of you and missing you on here<br /><br />Andrea- hope things are better for you this week&#33;  Thinking of you&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Rose- you are so handy; I really envy.  With Lee being unable to do things around the house, I really wish my father had been a bit more handy.  I know nothing about fixing things.<br /><br />Shari- hope you find a sitter for Willy soon so you will be able to travel<br /><br />MaryLou- sounds like the Ironpigs made up for screwing up TJ&#39;s b&#39;day party&#33;  Glad you had a good time.  Enjoy your day with TJ and hope Jim hears something good about his job on Thursday&#33;&#33;<br /><br />FYI- I have been trying to follow the swine flu (H1N1) closely and the CDC is finally admitting there may be 100,000&#39;s cases out there; the numbers are very misleading.  We sent someone to the hospital yesterday with possible swine flu who had complications.  If you get flu symptoms, please see your doctor sooner rather than later and ask to be tested for the flu.  If you are seen within the first 48-72 hrs of becoming sick and test positive for flu A, you can be treated.  You cannot be treated if you wait longer than that.  Okay, off my soap box..<br /><br />Family update- Lee&#39;s father is still hospitalized and only on jello and IV&#39;s.  There was some concern about his kidneys, but I think that worked out with futher testing.  His white blood count has come down some, so we are watching things for now.  His mother knows she was wrong in her thinking...<br /><br />I know I missed many of you, but I will try to come back later on......<br /><br />Have a great day&#33;&#33;
