A day without a meeting&#33;&#33;  Wow, not sure how to handle that.<br /><br />Rose:  The pastor we had in from PA did not excite.  Nice guy, good preacher, but a bit inexperienced in the leadership area.  Next one due in Nov. 2-3 fro VA. unless we get one of the other candidates to LV before those dates.<br /><br />MaryLou:  Don&#39;t feel bad, Roe must have weekly blood work now that she is on her new gold-plated medication.  She was busy this morning making dental appointments for both of us on Nov. 6th.  Now that is togetherness, going to the dentist at the same time.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes2:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />  In truth, we only do it that way because the dentist is on the other side of the LV Valley and it is quite a drive.<br /><br />Joey:  I hate the car buying process as much as I hate root canals.  Last time I did it pretty much on line.  Shopped all of Nevada, California and Arizona.  Found the car I wanted at the best price in Phoenix.  We drove our old car to Albuquerque, sold it to my BIL, flew to Phoenix and the Lexus dealer picked us up at the airport, took us to the dealership where we finished the paperwork and drove the new car home to Las Vegas.  Probably the least stressful car purchase I&#39;ve made.<br /><br />Jenn: Yes, getting old is a bummer.  But, it does beat the alternative of NOT getting old.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> <br />At the church Pot Luck last friday night, I made the mistake of sitting next to an unrepentant &quot;Red Hatter.&quot;  Jeeez, my left ear has still not returned to normal.  <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 />Deb: Love you &quot;happy faces&quot; kitty.  Looks like a Scottish Fold.  Steve: That&#39;s a breed of cat, not a way to fold your napkin.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> <br /><br />Later,
