Once again we woke to a blanket of white outside and according to the news a lot of ice.    Is there no end to this winter?   We received word last night that my sister-in-laws dad passed away yesterday so we will be heading back and forth to Staten Island for the next few days.   I hate that trip but we will manage.  Last night I went crazy looking for my dark suit and tore apart every closet in the house before I realized I took it to the cleaners after my Uncles funeral and never picked it up so that will be my first errand of the day.  <br /><br />Rose - continuing prayers for a speedy recovery for Sue.  Yesterday was an awfully long day for everyone involved.   I hope you were able to get some sleep last night.<br /><br />Cheryl - what an interesting story about your Uncle.   He had a very interesting life.     <br /><br />Jackie - OUCH&#33;   So sorry you rehurt your back.   Sometimes it takes the simplest things to aggravate an existing condition.<br /><br />Martha - missing you here on the dock.   Hope all is well.<br /><br />Shari - glad to hear Marc had fun in the casino.   How is he feeling?<br /><br />I&#39;m really needing a cup of tea this morning so I&#39;ll make this brief and come back later.<br /><br />Make today special.<br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-02-19 13:43:30',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350560,2066,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 14:33:51',NULL,'','Good Morning and welcome to the morning dock show&#33;','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2009-02-19 14:33:51',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350561,5024,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 15:10:24',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=350560:date=Feb 19 2009, 06&#58;33 AM:name=JoeyandDavid)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (JoeyandDavid &#064; Feb 19 2009, 06&#58;33 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=350560\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Good Morning and welcome to the morning dock show&#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />Good Morning Everybody&#33;','55ChevyLady','55ChevyLady','2009-02-19 15:10:24',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350562,2278,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 15:45:55',NULL,'','<i><b>Good Morning..<br /><br /><br />I&#39;m late but the coffee is on <img src=\"http://www.animated-gifs.eu/kitchen-coffee-machines/0010.gif\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />.<br /><br />Morning dock show is up and running.<br /><br />later<br />Jim</b></i>','Peddler','Peddler','2009-02-19 15:45:55',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350563,2066,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 15:58:32',NULL,'','Rose so glad to hear that sue came through the surgery last night .. and good words form the surgeon is well..looking forward to your update this morning after the family has had a chance to check on her..were you able to get the phone number to the nurses station in ICU??','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2009-02-19 15:58:32',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350565,2066,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 16:03:54',NULL,'','here was a bit of interesting news i thought....<br />the Ford motor company&#39;s Romeo, Michigan Engine Plant Produced it&#39;s 10 Millionth Engine recently...The Romeo Engine Plant, produces V-8 engines for Ford F-150, Mustang, Shelby GT500, Explorer, E-Series van, Crown Victoria, and the Mercury Grand Marquis. <br />as a matter of fact the Plant produces 140 engines an hour on its high-volume line,  In 2008, engines built at Romeo output 88.9 million horsepower, 2,750 times the combined horsepower of this year&#39;s starting field at Daytona.','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2009-02-19 16:03:54',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350566,5024,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 16:03:56',NULL,'','Back again...I had to get Rose settled in, she woke up with a fever this morning.  so now  we are going to enjoy the entire box set edition of &quot;Caillou&quot;  At least Caillou is not annoying like some movies she likes to watch over and over again...&#33;  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wacko:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wacko.gif\" /> <br /><br />HI to everybody and try to have a peaceful day.... <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/cool.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":cool2:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cool.gif\" />','55ChevyLady','55ChevyLady','2009-02-19 16:03:56',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350567,2066,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 16:08:05',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=350566:date=Feb 19 2009, 06&#58;03 AM:name=55ChevyLady)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (55ChevyLady &#064; Feb 19 2009, 06&#58;03 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=350566\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Back again...I had to get Rose settled in, she woke up with a fever this morning. so now we are going to enjoy the entire box set edition of &quot;Caillou&quot; At least Caillou is not annoying like some movies she likes to watch over and over again...&#33; <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wacko:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wacko.gif\" /> <br /><br />HI to everybody and try to have a peaceful day.... <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/cool.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":cool2:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cool.gif\" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />ok what is &quot;Caillou&quot; is it purple? <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":laugh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"laugh.gif\" />','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2009-02-19 16:08:05',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(350568,4504,1,18,347321,'2009-02-19 16:09:00',NULL,'','Good morning, all&#33;<br /><br />This is my long week so posting will be limited.<br /><br />Rose- so glad to hear your sister is in recovery.

Who has big weekend plans?   We will be heading to SI sometime this afternoon and won&#39;t be back til sometime late tomorrow.   If I&#39;m MIA you will know why. Our trip is actually only 1 1/2 hrs but we never seem to make it in less than 2.   Very heavy truck traffic and very rare when there isn&#39;t an accident or two fouling up things.   The best part is when the 12 lane toll booth empties into the 2 lane bridge.    Some genius really thought long and hard over that one.<br /><br /><br />Rose - sending prayers for continued good news from NY about Sue.    Wish Howie a Happy Birthday from us and try and relax and enjoy a couple of days away.  Glad you had a nice birthday dinner.   <br /><br />Jenn - glad you got to enjoy some outdoors time.    I sounds like your garden is coming along well.   Glad you got to use the remnants of your greenhouse.  Thanks for the pic of the Staten Island Ferry - one of the real bonuses of living there.   I especially enjoy looking down at the ferry from a cruise ship deck.   lol<br /><br />Ed - Rose is now more than half way done.

So now that I&#39;ve had my treat I&#39;m good for the next 7 weeks  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wink2:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />That pizza sounds wonderful&#33; <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" />','deb1220','deb1220','2009-02-22 03:30:41',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(351053,920,1,18,347321,'2009-02-22 04:03:11',NULL,'','<br /><br />Jackie:  Clean living will do it.

It sure felt good to sleep in my own bed last night.    Jim was out playing cards with the guys and I flopped down on the bed to watch a TV show that was coming on at 9PM and didn&#39;t even make it to the beginning of it.   Next I knew Jim was waking me to get the covers pulled down, it was midnight and the TV and lights were both still on.    Guess I was more tired than I thought.<br /><br />Jenn - (((hugs))) you certainly have way too much going on right now.   I hope you will continue with the counselling and can get some help with it.    Jim also sleeps with the CPAP machine.   It was a bit annoying at first but since they found he stopped breathing more than 40 times a night, he got used to it real quick.   If you have trouble with the mask ask about another type which uses small prongs that fit into your nose (much like they use for oxygen)   They fitted Jim with that also but it did not work as well with him due to a deviated septum.   Getting a good nights rest will help you immensely to cope with all that is going on in your life.<br /><br />Jackie - Happy Anniversary to you and Tony.   So glad you had a lovely dinner together.   Here&#39; s to 37 more happy years.<br /><br />Falina - How&#39;s the hand coming along?    Did you get everything straightened out for the wedding (time off, etc.)<br /><br />Deb - Get packing - this is your last week to get things done before Bon Voyage.<br /><br />James - You too - sunny beaches are waiting for you.<br /><br />Jim - Thanks for taking care of the coffee in the morning for us.<br /><br />Joey - I hope yesterday brought a few happy memories of your Mom to fill the void of her passing anniversary.   <br /><br />Robert - thanks again for your kind words.   Have a good day<br /><br />Ed - you need to patent your secret.   You look terrific for 75.     Good luck on the continuing Pastor search.   Glad to hear Roe tolerated her treatments.    Before too much longs she can roll over on Monday morning and not run off to the airport.   She&#39;ll have a lot more time to concentrate on those &quot;Honey Do&quot; lists.<br /><br />Cheryl - how good of you to do all that research on the perfect sleep mattress number for &quot;something&quot; lol.    <br /><br />Steve - Still enjoying that TV?    These Medicare people are driving me crazy.   Guess I need to make a decision to get them off my back.  Funny story - last Sunday afternoon a rep from an Ins. company came to our front door to speak to me about Medicare stating he made a home visit because I was on the &quot;do not call&quot; list.    We were having dinner so I took the material and closed the door.   Fast forward to yesterday - we got home from SI and I had not 1 but 2 phone messages from this same person (who already told me he knew I was on the do not call list) asking me to set up an appointment with him to discuss my options.   Needless to say he will get quite a phone call on Monday morning.  <br /><br />Sue - how&#39;s the storm that&#39;s hitting you.    Are you as tired of winter as I am?<br /><br />Martha - I hope Aubrey&#39;s birthday was fun.    I&#39;m sure she loved all of her gifts.     Our project for today is to go shopping for  a new Canon camera.   Have my DIL&#39;s birthday coming up next week and Ashleigh is in an American Girl Fashion show in 2 weeks so have to get rid of that darn Kodak before then.   Ask Lee if he wants to come help Jim paint - he&#39;s finding lots of excuses not to do it now that I have the guest room all torn apart and company coming in just one more month.   <br /><br />Our bags from our little trip are sitting outside the laundry room door and no one came along last night to wash them so that will be my first order of business today.

Now I guess it will be on hold til next week.   I did find a nice little corner computer desk for that room so taking our big desk out of there should give us a little more room.  The new desk is coming tomorrow but it will just have to stay in the dining room til the project is over.   Guess I should really decide on paint colors this week though so all supplies are on hand next week when Jim is off.<br /><br />As I mentioned yesterday I never even turned on the TV to watch the Oscars.

I will probably be stuck indoors most of today waiting for my new computer desk to come so I&#39;ll have to find something to do all day.   I found a nice small corner desk with built in file cabinet which should give us more room in our guest/computer room.    I originally had a larger desk plus a double file cabinet in there.<br /><br />Happy Fat Tuesday - I can&#39;t believe tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.    Guess I&#39;ll have to go out and get some Fachstnots this morning to clog my arteries for a while.<br /><br />Jim knew there were changes coming at work - they were told to expect to have their hours cut by as much as 50% beginning in July.    Well yesterday they dropped the bomb - the changes will take place in April not July and Jims hours were cut from 40 hrs a week to 12.   No matter how you figure that we can&#39;t come up with half.    Needless to say none of the men were happy.   Not only were their hours cut but their home base was moved another 20 minutes further away from us making for a 45 minute commute each way.     The one thing he had to laugh at though was vacation sheets also came out yesterday so Jim put in for basically the entire month of November for the Connie Goes Crazie cruise.   His boss looked at the sheet and informed him he couldn&#39;t take all that time off - he only gets 1 weeks vacation and that&#39;s a busy time for them.     He just laughed at her and said &quot;You don&#39;t really expect me to give up my cruise for 12 hours of work, do you.&quot;   So for now he will stick it out and the first time someone pi**** him off, he&#39;ll quit.  Fortunately we do not rely on this job for any benefits (mostly medical) but the men who do are really in trouble and very upset.   Jim&#39;s partner Tony has a very ill wife and needs his medical insurance.   Jim already told him that down the line he will be quitting but even working every week (which Tonly does not really want to do) he will barely make his 40 hours in the MONTH.   Oh well, it could certainly be worse and we do not rely on that money to keep our heads above water.   <br /><br />Rose - hope you returned home to good news about your sister.    How is she doing?<br /><br />Deb - are you ready and is Crazie all packed?   I guess you and Debbie have worked out all the arrangements for the switch when you return.    <br /><br />James - glad you are mostly set for your trip.   How is Donna feeling?  I hope getting away will help her.<br /><br />Jackie - you will be hitting the road in a couple of days.     Hope you enjoy your new RV.<br /><br />Shari - always good to hear from you.<br /><br />Jenn - hope this week is looking up for you.

Most people I know, who watched him last week (or was it the week before) said they were more confused after listening to him.  I think the &quot;stimulus&quot; package s full of fluff spending and I really do not see how it is going to help the economy all that much.  Our state is getting 500 million dollars, which they are going to use to fix roads.  May be needed, but I do not really see how that is going to help John Q. Citizen.  I also heard that people making &#036;70,000 or less a year would get a tax break.  When the campaigning was going on, they kept pushing that 95% of Americans would get a tax cut.  I find it hard to believe that only 5% of U.S. citizens make more than that - I really don&#39;t know many people who make under 70,000 - okay, I am not putting down anyone who makes less, I am just saying that I know that 95% of the country does not fall into that category.  Maybe salaries are different in different parts of the country, but even my sons both make more than that and they are both in their 20&#39;s.  Okay, I realize that sounds all wrong and I cannot really figure out how to say it to properly portray what I am trying to establish, so I hope you guys understand.  I am just saying that I know that a lot more than 5% make over 70% - I would think it would be 4-5 times that, at the very least.  I think we deserve a tax cut as well as anyone else, we certainly pay more in taxes.  I see that 2 of the car makers are asking for yet more money - wonder when all this is going to end.  I think the stimulus would work much better if they just divided all that money amongst the taxpayers and told them to go out and spend it - after all, it is our money anyway&#33;&#33;&#33;  I sure would like to see a 10% flat tax enacted - no deductions, no loopholes.  By the time we pay income taxes, property taxes, gas taxes, taxes on everything we buy, etc. - the government is getting well over 50% of everything we earn.  Okay, stepping off my political bandwagon - I only brought it up because you asked Joey.  <br /><br />Not much planned for today - just going to crochet.  My niece and my best friend&#39;s daughter are both expecting on the same day, July 1.  Months ago, when I found out, I started crocheting baby blankets.  I decided to do a pink one and a blue one and hope the mom&#39;s cooperated.  We found out about a month ago that my friends daughter is having a girl, so I was hoping that my niece, Sarah, would have a boy.  She did not find out until last Friday the sex of her baby, and it is another girl, so I had to go buy more pink yarn.  We are going to Texas and then to Okla. in April to attend baby showers for both, so I need to get another pink one made.  Tomorrow, I have Weight Watchers and then picking up Scotty at school, Thursday, I have to go for a check up with the lasik surgeon and it is about 75-80 miles round trip, so that takes a good portion of my day, and Friday, I have to go to Boulder to meet a friend for lunch, so plan to just enjoy being home today...<br /><br />','Gregswife','Gregswife','2009-02-24 20:14:01',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(351467,2066,1,18,347321,'2009-02-24 20:42:38',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=351465:date=Feb 24 2009, 10&#58;14 AM:name=Gregswife)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (Gregswife &#064; Feb 24 2009, 10&#58;14 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=351465\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Joey, I will not be watching.

To the extent that states can put that money to use replacing worn out infrastructure, this will help the general public with safer bi-ways, while providing construction jobs.  In Colorado alone, we have 126 publicly owned bridges classifed as Structurally Deficient. We have another ~300 bridges classifed as Functionally Obsolete.  Across the US, the number of Structurally Deficient bridges is over 6000.  They need replacing, but what I&#39;m afraid is that alot of the infrastructure money will be diverted to projects that are quicker and easier to award (i.e., repaving).  States must obligate 50% of their funds within 120 days, giving preference to &quot;shovel ready&quot; projects. This will make it difficult to plan a bridge replacement unless it was already in the works.  Repaving contracts can be let out quicker, so we can all expect to see lots of &quot;cone zones&quot; this summer.  Unfortunately, those projects won&#39;t create as many jobs as new construction or re-construction.  The other 50% must be obligated within one year, which does allow time for the larger projects.<br /><br />I haven&#39;t read the final version, but an earlier draft of HR1 also included a lot of money that may promote the general welfare, but won&#39;t create jobs nor stimulate the economy.

Thank you all for your kind words about Jim&#39;s job situation.   As I said, it could be a lot worse and he now has to make some decisions as to whether to stick around or just up and quit.    For 2 hours every morning (he would work Monday thru Saturday) it really isn&#39;t worth it but it is his decision.  Things will stay the way they are til at least the end of April so he can think it over for a while.     I think if he could get his old job at the golf course back he would jump on it.  Lousy pay but all the free golf he wants and it is seasonal work.<br /><br />Rose - happy to hear your sister is doing better and should soon be home.    The fact that she is cranky is a good sign.   lol     Sorry you came home with a cold again.   Hope you are feeling better today.<br /><br />Jackie - Last day of work for a couple of days.   Hope you have a great trip.   We&#39;d love to see some pictures of your new &quot;home on wheels&quot;<br /><br /> Both James &amp; Debi should be all packed and ready to leave for their cruises.   Take me along&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Martha - We miss you.   Hope all is OK<br /><br />Jenn - same for you.

We do have a winter storm watch for Thursday with high amounts of snow and blowing winds, so Spring isn&#39;t here just yet.  LOL  I have been pretty busy lately, and also my computer is acting up so I&#39;m sorry I haven&#39;t had much time to spend with you.  <br /><br />Today is &quot;Ash Wednesday.&quot;  The beginning of Lent.  Here is an explanation for those who are not familiar with the day...<br /><br />WHAT IS ASH WEDNESDAY? <br /><br />Ash Wednesday (from the Latin Dies Cinerum, meaning &quot;Day of Ashes&quot;) is the first day of Lent. On this day, Christians focus intensely on their utter and complete sinfulness and the necessity of Christ&#39;s suffering and death to earn their salvation. Ashes are referred to many times in the Old Testament as a sign of sorrow, mourning, repentance, and mortality (2 Samuel 13:19; Esther 4:1-3; Job 42:6; and Jeremiah 6:26). Many churches use ashes during Ash Wednesday worship as part of a rite called the Imposition of Ashes. According to this custom, ashes (traditionally made by burning palm fronds used on Palm Sunday of the previous year) are mixed with a small amount of olive oil and applied to the forehead of each worshipper. The smudge mark made by the dirty ashes is a powerful reminder that we are going to die because death is the penalty for our depraved natures and sins of thought, word, and deed. The fact that the ashes are placed on our foreheads in the sign of the cross directs us to Jesus Christ as the only way to forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life in heaven. <br /><br /><br /><br />Falina...my prayers are with your SIL.<br /><br />Deb...said a prayer for your kitty-cat.

Here&#39;s what the website says:<br /><br />Under the Obama Plan:<br /><br />Middle class families will see their taxes cut – and no family making less than &#036;250,000 will see their taxes increase. The typical middle class family will receive well over &#036;1,000 in tax relief under the Obama plan, and will pay tax rates that are 20% lower than they faced under President Reagan. According to the Tax Policy Center, the Obama plan provides three times as much tax relief for middle class families as the McCain plan. <br /><br />Families making more than &#036;250,000 will pay either the same or lower tax rates than they paid in the 1990s. Obama will ask the wealthiest 2% of families to give back a portion of the tax cuts they have received over the past eight years to ensure we are restoring fairness and returning to fiscal responsibility. But no family will pay higher tax rates than they would have paid in the 1990s. In fact, dividend rates would be 39 percent lower than what President Bush proposed in his 2001 tax cut. <br /><br />Obama’s plan will cut taxes overall, reducing revenues to below the levels that prevailed under Ronald Reagan (less than 18.2 percent of GDP). The Obama tax plan is a net tax cut – his tax relief for middle class families is larger than the revenue raised by his tax changes for families over &#036;250,000.

Just checking in and catching up on what has transpired today.  Today was my Weight Watcher&#39;s meeting and weigh-in, then off to the grocery store.  Then my son and grandson came by to deliver some pastry things I had ordered from Scotty&#39;s school fund raiser.  Even though he was in a hurry, he did take the chance to sit and talk to me for a bit.  I have concerns as I found out yesterday that I will become a mother-in-law in 12 days and it really isn&#39;t the ideal situation as far as his father and I are concerned. <br /><br />I agree that we should act like adults but it is a fact that we are going to disagree about the situation our country is in and what got us there.  I also agree with Robert that I wish we could fire all of Congress and start over.  It is just my opinion, but it seems that one party is big on income redistribution, forcing banks to give home loans to people who can not afford to pay them back and penalizing people for working hard and making a good living, while rewarding those who do not want to put so much into it.  I used to be a member of that party but became quite disillusioned with those beliefs.  I believe if you earn it, you should keep it, that you should not be buying things you cannot afford to pay for and there should not be regulations nor laws that allow you to do so, that it is hypocritical to believe that it is fine to kill innocent unborn babies, yet &quot;inhumane&quot; to sentence murderers to death.  I do not believe that banks, insurance companies, car manufacturers or any other industry, should be rewarded over and over for bad business practices.  I think they are screwing the American public as much as congress is right now.  And they will keep showing up with their hands out,because they keep getting hand outs. The &#036;70,000 amount came from a story on our local news, breaking down what this plan would mean to the average citizen.  While I rarely discuss income, I can say that my husband does make more than &#036;250,000 a year and he works hard for it.  I take issue with having to pay more to make up for some plan that does not even make sense.  I know the idea is that we are going to spend our way out of debt.  I don&#39;t have debt and I shouldn&#39;t have to pay it for those who are irresponsible.  We already pay an outrageous amount of taxes so now we will get penalized for Greg working like a dog to insure financial security for us.  I haven&#39;t done the research but I heard that Nancy Pelosi wants to raise taxes on retirement and capital gains so we can pay for programs for illegal alliens - if given the ability to fire our politicians, I think I would start with her&#33;&#33;&#33;  Whew, glad I got that off my chest - for a well endowed gal, there isn&#39;t room for much else&#33;&#33;&#33;','Gregswife','Gregswife','2009-02-26 03:17:28',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(351722,2542,1,18,347321,'2009-02-26 03:23:37',NULL,'','Wow Cheryl, that must have been a shock to find out that your son is getting married in 12 days.

Hope to get it put back together next week when Jim is off but we will be away for a few days while he goes through his yearly check-up with the VA. up in Wilkes-Barre.   Time for new glasses, a new sleep mask and most of all a new ankle brace.   For some reason all of a sudden he sets off the store alarms everytime he walkes through the door.   It never happened til a few weeks ago so obviously some type of coating on it has worn off so it&#39;s time for a new one.        He has an appointment with HR next week but still hasn&#39;t decided what he will do about the job.    <br /><br />Rose - Happy Birthday to your DD.   They grow up so fast, don&#39;t they.    Great news about your sisters tumor being benign.  How are your Mom &amp; Dad holding up?   Are they still in NY?<br /><br />Cheryl - Unfortunately we really can&#39;t do much once our kids are grown but wish them the best and pray they are doing the right thing.     Of course your biggest worry is for Scotty and it should be.   I know how badly he suffered when his parents marriage ended.   <br /><br />Jackie - happy motoring.   Have a great few days away from the tax rat race.<br /><br />Robert - sorry to hear about your DD&#39;s losing their jobs.   Hope they find something soon.   <br /><br />Ed - glad you enjoyed the movie.    I know you are looking forward to Roe arriving home later today.<br /><br />Steve - Sorry to hear about Lynda&#39;s puter.    Isn&#39;t it amazing how dependent we get on these things.<br /><br />Deb - Did you and Debbie get everything set up for sending Crazie on her way to Hawaii?    Hope you all have a great cruise.<br /><br />Shari - good luck to Marc on the follow-up visit to the Dr.     Hope all is clear on this visit.<br /><br />James - time to leave the snow and cold behind and head for some Caribbean sunshine.     <br /><br />Jim - good luck with the deck project.    That is the very first thing we added on to our house when we moved.    Love that deck (if we ever get all the snow and ice scraped off it)<br /><br />Carmen - sorry about the reorganizing going on at work.   How are you feeling?<br /><br />Falina - One more month to go til the wedding but it sounds like you have everything under control.<br /><br />Joey - what&#39;s on tap for today?<br /><br />Andrea - How is Rose doing?   Hope she is OK.   <br /><br />We just may have to send out the CruiseCrazies posse looking for Shaunna, Martha and Jenn.    Check in when you can guys.<br /><br />Time to get the laundry going and get some things done.    We are going to Ct. this weekend so a trip to the mall is on tap for today.    I&#39;ll check back later.<br /><br />Make today special<br /><br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-02-26 13:33:00',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(351774,2542,1,18,347321,'2009-02-26 13:58:08',NULL,'','Morning Crazies&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Today is a special day for us - after work we leave for the first time in our new RV.

But that should be the last of it.  Winter seems to need one last big show in late February every year :o)<br /><br />Another wrangle with mental health yesterday.  I told them, once again, that she is not eating - that she refueses to eat anything I take in to her because it is &quot;wrong&#33;&quot;  If she doesn&#39;t recognize it she won&#39;t eat it. I also explained to them that Mom can no longer use a phone - and the phone is the only way anyone can get in her building.  Being the bright lights that they are they once again offered her meals on wheels.  I asked how the delivery people could drop off the meals if they can&#39;t get into the building - I was told they would cross that bridge ......  I can&#39;t even get a key for my brother so her can get into the building :o) I again told them (the same woman I have explained this to at least six times) that Mom won&#39;t eat what she does not know.  <br /><br />I was also told it takes several weeks for someone to starve to death and that I should weigh Mom every time I see her - good answer - just what I was looking for.<br /><br />The whole system is full of too many government employees and I think the only criteria for the job is &quot;still breathing&quot;.

For the shortest month, this one sure has seemed long.     Even if March does come in like a lion, hopefully it will go out like a lamb and put an end to this long winter.    We are heading to Ct. tomorrow but snow and sleet are called for on Sunday so our stay may be longer than expected.   <br /><br />Apparently all went well with Ashleigh&#39;s fitting and photo shoot last night.   She was very excited when she got home.   They had her walk down the runway with a doll dressed in the same outfit as she had on and she was a bit disappointed that they didn&#39;t let her keep the doll (they cost approx. &#036;100- each) but she got over it and was really excited.   Hope she still feels the same way when she looks out onto a packed house next weekend.   <br /><br />Falina - please be very very careful with your &quot;free&quot; cruise.    We get those offers all the time but they always seems to want our credit card number - end of call.    Seems they are tied in a lot of the time with time share sales.  Perhaps yours is a legitimate offer but check it out before you commit to anything please.  Hope your SIL gets some good news today.<br /><br />Vickey - once again, welcome to the friendliest cruise site on the web.   I hope you will join us on the Daily Dock.   <br /><br />Jackie - glad to got to your destination and your RV is doing well.   Happy that Tony got the ice maker fixed.    I&#39;m sure you will have many happy trips in your future.   <br /><br />Rose - hope you had a nice birthday celebration with your DD yesterday.    I&#39;m sure you are anxious to talk to your sister now that she is home.    <br /><br />Cheryl - great news from your lasik surgeon.   I&#39;m so glad all is going well.    DS Dave still says it is the best thing he ever did.  <br /><br />Jim - take care of your back with your deck work.   <br /><br />Kevin - I can just see that figurehead hanging on the front of your beautiful cabin.     <br /><br />Steve - glad your computers are all up and running again.   Isn&#39;t it amazing how dependant we get on them.<br /><br />Martha - happy to have you back on the dock.    We got our season tickets for our minor league baseball team yesterday and see we are playing the Charlotte Knights on 6/14.   Maybe you and Lee should come up to Pa. and we could all go to the game together.    It&#39;s a really fun day out.
