This has definately been the most diverse year at the theatre with a little something for everyone but this concert is definately an oldie but goodie.

We leave a week from today - YEAH&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; Boy do we need to get away and spend some quiet time together.  I spent the day yesterday house hunting with Deb. (She sold her house on the condition that the buyers can close and move in by May 15th)  We found a few possibilities but basically she will not be happy with anything she sees as she is still in shock that her home sold so fast.   I warned her it would go fast but I&#39;m only &quot;Mom&quot; so what do I know.  <br /><br />It&#39;s great to see everyone slowly making their way back to the Dock and it&#39;s fun exploring all the new additions to the site that Jason has added.   <br /><br />Ed - it&#39;s nice that you found a fellow CruiseCrazie on your Quest cruise.

She will turn 81  this year and put on a great show.   She has quite a problem getting around - needed to be assisted both on and off stage and would sing one or two songs and then sit on a stool to sing a few songs before standing again  but her voice is strong.  She performed for 1 1/2 hours without a break.   She did forget the lyrics to &quot;You Belong To Me&quot; but made a joke of it and went right on with the rest of the show.   Really a remarkable performance.  Went out afterwards for a nice Italian dinner and now are back home and it is still light out.

Got my haircut (much too short) and today will get the nails done and I am ready to sail.   <br /><br />Yesterday was a very exciting day for our family.  Deb was notified yesterday that BOTH Ashleigh &amp; TJ were chosen to be the 2008 Heart Association Spokespeople for their Lehigh Valley fundraising campaign.  The task will entail a lot of public appearances, radio spots and even a couple of TV appearances, plus commercials and they will lead the 2008 Heart walk in September.   They will be going for professional pictures to be used in all their campaigns and now every time we go into a store and are asked to contribute to a charity (which is just about always around here) Ash &amp; TJ will be on the posters.   It will be a lot of work for all of us but will be well worth it if it helps raise money for the Heart Association.  Their good works and support of heart research is the reason TJ is with us today and hopefully in the future they will conquer Ash&#39;s problem which while not nearly as serious as TJ&#39;s was, is still something that needs to be watched.<br /><br />Jenn - gee - now we know how you reached 20000 posts&#33; The computers must have spring fever - a few of us are experiencing little gremlins in the works.

We had a fun night last night.  &quot;Late Night Catechism&quot; was one of the funniest things I have seen in quite some time - especially if you went through Catholic schools growing up.   If it ever comes your way - don&#39;t miss it.   It is a one woman show set in a class room complete with flying erasers, gum at the end of your nose and naughty chairs turned to face the wall.   Those of you who attended Catholic school will know immediately what I am talking about.    Brought back lots of memories and even caused a few late night flashbacks to my days with Sister Cornelia and especially Sister Mary Rosilda.   YIKES&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl - glad you are doing better and hope you will be up and around in no time.   Let Greg, the boys and Scotty wait on you for a change.   <br /><br /><br />Everyone stay well and happy.   I will be back on Friday and will tell you all about our Cruise.    I still have a few things to do before we leave at 8:30AM so I&#39;ll make this quick and get moving.<br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.   I know when I walk up that gangway, I will be smiling from ear to ear.<br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-04-06 12:36:01',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(280509,2066,1,18,279478,'2008-04-06 15:02:04',NULL,'','Have a great time Mary Lou..

Two Golden Retrievers.  The three of them play in the park everyday and he often stays for dinner at their house.  When we are cruising he just moves in with them.  This neighbor also takes care of our two cats.  They stay at home but she checks in on them a couple times a day and every couple days brings Puff home to visit with them while she goes shopping.<br /><br />Roe&#39;s meds seem to be kicking in and she has a lot less pain.  However, she feels light headed, so guess who gets to drive her everywhere she wants to go??<br /><br />Jenn: Still can&#39;t picture you in the MGB.  Were you shorter then??  &quot;Friends who drove logging trucks&quot;, interesting.  Don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever met anyone who drove a logging truck, unless Joey did at one time, but I don&#39;t think so.  I guess I hung out with a bunch of strange folks too now that I think about it, but no loggers.<br /><br />We put &quot;Soft Paws&quot; on our Siamese cat today.  Well, actually we chased him around for 20 minutes and then took him to the Vet&#39;s office where one of the Techs gave us a lesson on how to apply them.  Does not seem to be too tough once you catch him.<br /><br />Only packing I&#39;ve gotten done so far is all my various &quot;Meds.&quot;  With all the vitamins and herbal stuff Roe has me on I think I take 13 pills per day.

The house the kids loved, it would need alot of updating on the inside which could be done a little at a time.

My husband works for a small electrical company in Westfield and they laid 4 off last September (one being the future SIL) and told them they would call them back in two weeks.  Well two weeks has turned in to 7 months.  They called the SIL this week and wanted him to come back but he has gotten a job with a larger company that is unionized and they are getting ready to put him through an apprenticeship so he is staying where he is.<br /><br />Marie - It is nice to see you join us here.<br /><br />Ed and Roe - glad to see you have the packing done and ready to go.

He hasn&#39;t worked in three years because of three back surgeries. He is doing good and wants to go back as he only needs three months to be able to get his pension if he goes out on disability but they say he is not able to work physically. He is now going through more impartial doctors to see if he qualifies for a work hardening program. Of course they stopped sending him check like year ago. The lawyer told him he can&#39;t even get a job to fill in financially so my DD is the breadwinner right now. It is so complicated. I guess they want you to give up but he will not when it comes to his pension. He works for DHL.

Five days is much too short - don&#39;t think we would ever do a 5 day again unless it was part of a B2B.   The Explorer is still in great shape and they seem to finally be getting their arrival and departures down to running smoothly from Cape Liberty.  We were off the ship by 8:30 - the earliest ever and in our car on the way home by 8:45.  Really amazing.    Had really yucky weather and very rough sees going down to Bermuda but calm seas coming back although very little sunshine.   I have a lot of catching up to do here and read a weeks worth of Daily Docks but will get to that after I start the first of many loads of wash.  Oh well, back to reality.   I will tell you more about our trip and catch up with the goings on here in the next day or so.   <br /><br />I hope everyone is well and those who were ailing when I left, I hope they are doing better.

Perhaps I should go away more often.  Thanks for all the warm welcomes back.  You all make me feel so special.  <br /><br />Joey - thanks for keeping up with the Bon Voyages when I was gone and starting off our day here most of the time.   Someone asked quite some time ago how the dock got started and I wasn&#39;t sure.   I had no idea you started this off.   Do you want your job back??<br /><br />Bon Voyage to Ed &amp; Roe and Carmen.    I hope they have great cruises.  I noticed there were no posts by Carmen when I was away.  I hope all is well with her.  <br /><br />Cheryl - hope you are doing well and recovering.   I&#39;m sure Greg and the boys are taking good care of you.<br /><br />Carmen - How are you feeling?   I hope you are getting out a bit - I know Cabin Fever is the pits.   <br /><br />Rose &amp; Jackie - Tax season is almost over.   Jackie you have your cruise right around the corner and Rose it sounds like you are busy with home redecorating.   <br /><br />Jenn - good luck with the new meds.  What did the Dr. put you on?   My Dr. has been switching my meds around but seems to finally have hit on the right combo of breathing inhalers and I am doing so much better than before.  <br /><br />Maria - hope you are feeling better by now.    I guess you still have to be a bit careful with what you eat.  <br /><br />Gail - congrats on the new booking.  It&#39;s always great to have a cruise to look forward to.<br /><br />Shari - hope you are feeling better today.  Those aches and pains can really nag at you after awhile.<br /><br />Karla - hope the housing situation works out.  My daughter is currently going thru the same thing.   She sold her house and must close by May 15th but so far hasn&#39;t found a new place to live.   <br /><br />Deb - sounds like a fun time with your Mug club.  Have fun&#33;<br /><br />Steve - what is new with you and Lynda?  Hope all is well with you both.<br /><br />I&#39;m sure I missed someone but give me a few days to get out of vacation mode and I&#39;ll be back to  normal.  <br /><br />Time to get going with the laundry.   I left it sitting on the chair last night but see it is still here this morning.    I will also get working on my cruise review over the weekend.  In the meantime, today is opening  day for Ashleigh&#39;s softball league.  She is so excited but I fear the novelty will fade away the first time she strikes out and that will be the end of her career there.   lol   She is a bit of a sore loser when it comes to playing games and must be the best at everything she does.   The Heart Association campaign kicks-off next week and we will keep busy until September.  They have a long list of personal appearances already starting with one next weeks.   They still haven&#39;t had their pics taken yet but I&#39;ll post them as soon as we get them.   <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-04-12 12:34:33',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(281555,2066,1,18,279478,'2008-04-12 16:25:22',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=281521:date=Apr 12 2008, 02&#58;34 AM:name=cruisetarp)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (cruisetarp &#064; Apr 12 2008, 02&#58;34 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=281521\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec--><!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#a0522d--><span style=\"color:#a0522d\"><!--/coloro-->SATURDAY - April 12th<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good Morning Crazies.....

What a beautiful day yesterday ended up being.   Had a few rain showers in the morning but in the afternoon the sun came out and temps went up into the mid 70&#39;s which felt downright tropical to us here in Pa.   Everyone was out working in their yards and it will take a lot of work to get our yard back in decent shape after the long winter of neglect.   The daffodils and crocus&#39; are in full bloom and it looks like Spring has finally arrived. (except for in the Poconos&#39; - about 20 minutes from us where they  had 70s&#39; temps yesterday and are expecting snow today.)<br /><br />Joey - I hope you and David had a special anniversary day yesterday.   Hopefully by next weekend you will be celebrating David&#39;s new job.   <br /><br />It seems like everyone around here is doing well.   Has anyone heard from Cheryl (Gregswife)?   Hope she is doing well after her surgery.  <br /><br /><br />Have all my laundry caught up and today will tackle Jim&#39;s things but by tonight the luggage will be put back into the basement til December.   Lots of things coming up to keep my busy.   Next weekend we are going to Staten Island to take Cait car shopping.   She finally received her settlement from her car accident two years ago and wants to buy a car with some of the money.  She has no idea what she wants so she asked Jim to take her out so she doesn&#39;t make any costly mistakes.   Also, we didn&#39;t think it was a great idea for a 19 YO to go looking for a brand new car with a pretty hefty check book.   <br /><br />The weekend after that it is down to Carlisle for my nieces&#39; bridal shower.   Can you all imagine how thrilled Jim was when he found out it was a couples shower and he would be attending it with me?  LOL<br />This only gives me 2 weeks to find a shower gift for the couple who has everything.    Guess I will be spending some time at the mall this week.   BooHoo<br /><br />Hope everyone has a great day today - we are going to look for a new mailbox, new mailbox post and a new  lamp post for the front yard - I just love Spring.<br /><br />Make today special and I&#39;ll check back later on.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-04-13 13:31:43',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(281698,2730,1,18,279478,'2008-04-13 14:16:01',NULL,'','seems someone forgot that it is spring here in Florida and had a cold front move in on us.  was going to beach today but might just stay home.  other than that thing are great.','elva','elva','2008-04-13 14:16:01',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(281716,3913,1,18,279478,'2008-04-13 16:01:05',NULL,'','Cone on, enough is enough&#33;   We had snow flurries yesterday and it&#39;s doing it again right now.

I haven&#39;t been able to spend a lot of time on the computer, lately.  Well...we finally have Spring today, it almost reached 70.  The winds were so heavy, though, that they almost blew me over when I was going into the store.  <br /><br />Saturday we had dinner with some friends, and Sunday my youngest brother and his family came for chili, and to look through my mom&#39;s photos, and to show their recent Hawaii ones.

All the pictures that the families sent her over the years...I did that and they all received them, but now I have many odds and ends left and some I want to keep, and I think a lot of the family will want, too, so I think we will have to copy some of them.  <br /><br />My brother gave me a CD of past Christmas videos he had taken, and it was wonderful.  We had all the extended family at our house this year on Christmas Eve, and Marc forgot to take the pictures, and I was busy in the kitchen.  I was feeling bad that we didn&#39;t have any this year of my siblings and family, but now I have the CD.

He looks so cute...and sooo young.  I&#39;ve looked through all the photos, and even behind photos in frames for a picture I had taken when I was 17 and gave to my mom but didn&#39;t have any luck finding.  I asked mom for it years ago, but she said the glass on the frame broke and she didn&#39;t remember what she did with the picture.  That was probably the only picture that I reeally liked of me...LOL...they made me up like a beauty queen in the studio.

I gave the 8 by 11 colored portrait to my mom and step-dad, and a 5x7 to my dad and my fiance at the time, but didn&#39;t think to save one for me.

It seems we are finally in for the first nice weekend of spring  and will be able to get out in the yard and start cleaning up after the long winter on Sunday.   Tomorrow we will be car shopping with Caitlin - should be a fun but exhausting day, especially since she has no idea what she is looking for.  Still debating on whether she should pay in cash or finance for at least 1 year.    It would certainly build up her credit which is non-existent but with her family situation I&#39;m nervous  about leaving all that money in the bank for a year.   I&#39;m afraid there will be nothing left at the end of the year if her mother and brother have their way and Cait is just too darn good to them both. <br /><br />Cheryl - sending hugs and prayers that all goes well today with your treatment.

But, they were seen doing it and the person called the police and followed them until the police got there.  It took them 15 min. to max out the credit card on gift cards at Meijer&#39;s and to try the debit card.  We were told Wens evening that there is a group going through are neighborhood breaking into cars and getting the garage door openers to come into the house a steal items.  Of course they did this Tuesday evening with the couple being home.  Took her purse and off the went.  Not a good feeling to know they are going through the neighbor hood.<br /><br />MARYLOU - Have fun car hunting this weekend.  The only thing about the reunion is that I am helping plan it along with it being two weekends before my DD wedding and one weekend befor the bacholorette party for which I was informed I was going to.

Yesterday before I left for SI I went to Kohl&#39;s in my sweatshirt and heavy pants and had to hold the door for a lady in a halter top and shorts.   I thought we had both gone to extremes in our dress but it means it is time to drag up all the summer clothes from the basement and put the woolies away for another year. It also means it is time to try all the summer things on and she how many of them shrunk while they were in the basement.   lol  I&#39;ll be back to see how everyone is later on.<br /><br />Make today special and enjoy the sunshine if you can.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-04-20 14:07:58',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(282859,2542,1,18,279478,'2008-04-20 15:32:44',NULL,'','Well the chauffeur will arrive in about 45 minutes to take us to the port.

We are due for more springlike weather this week but some rains are due for today.  We did some work in the yard yesterday but Jim is having an awful time getting the old lamppost out of the front yard.   It is buried so deep and it is hard to get to the cement it is set in.   Since this is a work week for him it looks like it will be put off til next weekend now.   <br /><br />Jenn - looking forward to seeing pics of your yard.   Your plum tree sound beautiful.  Glad that you had a good day with your Mom.   <br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita - your yard looks lovely.   See, all that hard work last year has paid off.   Sorry your granddaughters had a losing weekend at Soccer.  Hopefully they will improve as the season progresses.<br /><br />Sue - I&#39;m sure Pappy is loving this warmer weather.<br /><br />Shari - Happy Anniversary to you and Marc.   It&#39;s good to see you posting again.  You were missed.<br /><br />debbie - sounds like a fun day at the zoo.   <br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving.   I have a busy week ahead of me - need to begin pulling out the spring/summer clothes and that always makes such a mess.   No place to put the things til I clean out the closets and drawers and no place to put that stuff til the containers are empty.   I also need to find a shower gift for my niece for Saturday - running out of time on that one and have absolutely no idea what to buy them.   They both had their own apartments which they have now combined and with my brother and sister-in-law moving to Italy this summer to a fully furnished place Laura &amp; Dan will be taking a lot of her parents things into their home.   <br /><br />Make today special and I&#39;ll check back later on.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-04-21 13:15:30',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(283055,2066,1,18,279478,'2008-04-21 15:46:48',NULL,'','Good Morning Crazies...<br /><br />Well Hello Mary Lou......(sorry ricky nelson just paid me a visit)....I bet thats the FIRST time any one has ever said that to you .... <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 />Shari..Congratulations and Happy Anniversary to you and Marc&#33;&#33;<br /><br />we are considering getting a <a href=\"http://www.smartusa.com\" target=\"_blank\">smart car</a>......anyone else considering this...<br />Miss C....

Then we crumpled it up and painted over the whole thing in dark blue - then blotted it dry.  Looked pretty cool.

Jim and I are such a couple of old fools.    The old cement block holding the old post was just not coming out of the ground.  Jim has been working on it with a large spike and a really big sledge  hammer  for three day.  Yesterday the old post snapped off right at the start of the cement block and we found out that the new post fit snuggly into the broken piece of pole so Jim hammered it in real tight and then the fun began.   He hooked up the light, he hooked up the plug attached to the light, he hooked up the sensor and he hooked up the house number sign and I got to throw the switch and nothing happened.   He checked and rechecked every connection and we were both out there for close to 1/2 hour before it dawned on us - the sensor&#33;&#33;&#33;  It was still light out so of course the light wouldn&#39;t go on.   We covered up the sensor and WOW it worked.   We laughed so hard over how stupid we were. Live and learn.<br /><br />Hope everyone who is interested will go and vote on the CruiseCrazies group cruise planned for next year.   It would be a great way to meet all the folks we talk to and share our lives with.   Take a look and vote if you are interested in either of the cruises listed.<br /><br />Joey - thanks for all the hard work you are doing on this group cruise.   You have really been on top of things.  <br /><br />Karla - good luck to your son and DIL in their house search.   Our daughter is currently going thru the same thing but it now looks like the sale of her house may fall through - otherwise she will be moving in less than 6 weeks and has not found a new home yet.  However the people buying her house are insisting on some very very expensive septic work and the township inspector says it is not necessary so her realtor feels the people will back out if she doesn&#39;t spend more than &#036;10,000 on something that doesn&#39;t need to be done.     Hope your visit to the hospital wasn&#39;t too bad.   <br /><br />Jenn - Good luck with the Advair.   I have been on it for a couple of months now and it really helps with everything but the sleeplesness for me.    I find the secret is taking that 2nd dose early in the evening, even before dinner if possible.    <br /><br />Rose - good luck to your son on finding his own place.   What an exciting time for him.<br /><br />Gail - hope you and Paul have a great trip to Massachusetts.<br /><br />Tonia - any news on your niece?   I&#39;ll continue to send prayers and hugs her way.   You have my prayers and hugs also - try and stay strong and remember we are here for you.<br /><br />DebbieandJerry - hope you will consider the group cruise.    It would be a great way to meet all us Crazies.<br /><br />Time to get moving and start my day.    I think my first stop will be the garden center to find something to put around the lamppost.  Have no fear though, I will be back later on.   lol <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.<br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-04-24 13:37:43',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(283538,2549,1,18,279478,'2008-04-24 15:16:30',NULL,'','Morning all...<br /><br />Marylou... no news yet will be calling brother this weekend to see if anything is new..i love the celebrity ports i have never been to most of them... i send to my friend i went o europe with to see if she wants to cruise again.. if she doesn;t i will have to hunt for another to go with me... can&#39;t afford the single supplement...thats fujuny about the sensor  LOL ....<br /><br />Jen i have been on adviar for a while and it does work i tried the lower dose but had to go up to 250 and it seems to do the thing for me also... your yard is sure sounding pretty hope ya post some photos when done..<br /><br />Karla the house sounds good... it always exciting to get a new home.. the moving part i just dislike so much... i get going unpacking and then its OMG no way i have this much stuff...boy the puppies could have their own room LOL LOL ... i just share with doggies here at my house...<br /><br />Rat glad your having a good time...<br /><br />Rose hows the esimates coming along ??<br /><br />Gail glad to see ya post i bet it is hard to be cooped up so long... i know for sure i couldn&#39;t do it.. i sure hope yopu two can make it next year sure would love to see you two again<br /><br />i bet Jackie and Tony are having a good time....<br /><br />well off for my cappicinco .... talk at ya all laters <br /><br />Tonia<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />','terumim','terumim','2008-04-24 15:16:30',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(283539,2066,1,18,279478,'2008-04-24 15:46:05',NULL,'','Good morning Crazies....<br /><br />Hey Tonia I must agree .. i sure do hope Jackie and Tony are having a great time... but you have to know they are&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Jenn I too am on Advair... 250/50 it did the trick for me as well.. hope it proforms well for you as well..<br /><br />Mary Lou .. you are more than welcome ..
