Good morning all.  Looks kinda&#39; gloomy out today and is in the 40&#39;s.  The sun was shining a bit earlier but seems to be in hiding now.  I have some work to do around the house today.  Want to rearrange furniture - which has to be done before I put the Christmas tree up.  I will start my holiday decorating 3 weeks from tomorrow.  I also need to tackle the pantry.  I have a very large walk in pantry and I try to keep it very organized - you know, vegetables all together, sauces and gravies together, soups, etc.  I also keep each section alphabetized so I know exactly where everythng is.  Greg and the boys do not follow my plan, and when they get in there, things seem to get moved around.<br /><br />Sue, feel free to vent anytime you feel the need.  That is what we are here for. Maybe you can arrange a time to visit your brother and his family later, once they get all settled in with the new baby.  Did your mom give you a reason why she did not want you to travel with her?<br /><br />Deb, happy C.C. anniversary.  Is the air they blow in your ears supposed to come out your eyes?  I know you said they measure it in your eyes and I just can&#39;t picture how that is supposed to work.  And more importantly, does that make you an airhead??? <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 />Andrea, sometimes benefits do far outweigh the costs.  You said your parents don&#39;t now about it yet - do you think they will be upset?<br /><br />Joey, how are you today?  I just saw on the news about the riots last night in L.A. concerning Prop 8.<br /><br />Ed, what have you got going today?  Looks like you spend a lot of time online looking for and downloading pics.  Is Roe an internet junkie too?  Greg and I both spend a lot of time sitting right here beside each other, both of us on our laptops.  My FIL spends a lot of time online but my MIL doesn&#39;t even know how to turn one on.  I send her emails, but I send them to his acct. and then he prints them out and gives them to her.<br /><br />Mary Lou, I have a basement full of baby stuff too, but I keep hoping that there will someday be another grandchild for me to use it with.  Doesn&#39;t seem like it is ever going to happen though&#33;&#33;&#33;  I think Scotty is having a hard time because of all the  changes he has had to deal with.  First there was the divorce of his parents, and he only sees his mom 1 or 2 days a week, then she had another baby, and then my son and his fiance, Darcey, broke up.  She lived with them and Scotty really considered her his stepmom and he loved her a lot and she  moved out and he hasn&#39;t seen her in weeks.  I think he is feeling like nothing in his life is constant and safe.  At 6, he really doesn&#39;t understand why all these things are happening.<br /><br />Carmen, it is so good to see you back on the Dock.  You have been missed&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Falina, hope the weather holds off long enough for Dennis to get the work on the truck done, so you can get it back on the road soon.<br /><br />I know you can&#39;t see me (which is good because I haven&#39;t gotten dressed yet), but I am waving hello to Kevin, Steve, Keith, Martha, Tonia, Shari, Jenn, Cheryl, Robert, Chris and any other Crazies I missed....better get to my chores.
