If it is a lamp, unplug it. You may turn off power to it at the circuit breaker, as well. <br /><br />4- If it is an overhead light, and you have an assistant, have them hold the bag up closely to the light as you work to catch any shards of glass that may break/fly off. For a lamp, if you can place it in the bag to catch remnant of glass it is wonderful.

The Dr. in Philly called last night and they still don&#39;t have a diagnosis from his blood work.    They are still leaning towards some type of clotting disorder but need to do more blood work starting in mid-July and doing blood work every week for a month.   (Hint:  buy stock in ToysRUs - this is getting expensive)  However it looks like they will not be able to do the surgery for the nose bleeds due to his inability to clot.    This is getting very scary.<br /><br /><br />Andrea - stay cool - at least now you have the AC back up and running even though it did cost more than you expected.   Fortunately the compressor wasn&#39;t damaged.    How&#39;s Dad today?<br /><br /><br />so sorry to hear about T.J.   ....hopefully the Dr. can diagnosis the clotting problem and control it with meds...but the good news is his heart is doing good <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /> and thinks for the stock tip... <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbup.gif\" /> <br /><br /><br />as far as Daddy...we have had a set back...I ended up having to take him in about 6:30 last night to see the surgeon...his eye started hurting real bad around 3:00 and didn&#39;t tell me, he just took one of his pain pills.  I had checked on him and he was resting.  Finally Momma called me and Jerry and I took him in to the surgeon&#39;s office.  Jerry had to help me bec.  Daddy couldn&#39;t see at all and was very weak.  We couldn&#39;t even hardly get him in his wheelchair and he usually can manage that on his own (he usually just uses a cane or a walker)   <br />We got him there and the Dr. examined him and thought maybe he suffered an reaction to some drops used preop to the operation and once all the numbness wore off he started to hurt...<br />his cornea has been injured but it is <i>supposed</i> to heal,  I took him to see the Dr. again this morning and got 3 different drops to use 4 times a day for a week.  And the Dr. says there is no guarantee these drops will not irritate his eye&#33;  Just come back if they do&#33;   Kinda getting tired of that advice&#33;<br /><br />Oh well, we do what we have to do...<br /><br />Sorry everybody, just got off on a rant I guess&#33;&#33;&#33;  As Rose used to say when she was little  &quot;I doos that sometimes.&quot;<br /><br />Thanks again for being here....<br /><br />Andrea    <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','2008-06-18 18:53:45',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(294551,2066,1,18,290771,'2008-06-18 19:12:48',NULL,'','Andrea ...

Hopefully the kids will nap for awhile and be ready for tonight.<br /><br />Deb - my Mom passed away 4 years ago.   When she was with us she loved to have her whole extended family around her and when we were there she would always say &quot;Isn&#39;t this nice.&quot;   After she passed, she left very specific instructions about what possessions should go to which people so on her first birthday after her passing we had a &quot;Isn&#39;t this nice&quot; party to distribute all her possessions.   We found a freezer full of cookie dough she had made up so we baked those cookies and shared some memories.   Her &quot;Isn&#39;t this nice&quot; party has now become a yearly tradition, in fact I have to get the invitations out next week.   What I&#39;m saying is that everyone grieves in their own way.   Do whatever is right for you.   Believe me, there were some raised eyebrows when we celebrated Mom&#39;s b&#39;day that year but it was what my brothers and I needed to do.   When my niece got married last month she wore my mothers garter which she wore at her wedding in 1942.  My Mom gave it to my daughter on her wedding day and Deb passed it on to Laura who will pass it on to the next bride in the family.  So little things mean a lot to those left behind.  <br /><br />Eggs are done so my break is over.

Bet the little ones will be ready for bed when this day os over.  I just got a call from Scotty - he is not happy - he just figured out that us being gone 9 days did not mean 9 days at DisneyLand.  I tried explaining to him that we would take a couple of days to get there, 2 days at Disney, 1 at LegoLand, 1 at the beach and then going to the Grand Canyon on the way home.  He insisted that he wanted 9 days at Disney.  I finally passed the bucka and told him that he would have to discuss that with grandpa.  I hope he will be distracted enough tomorrow about actually getting under way, that he will forget all about it.  I am finishing up my packing today.  I have to go by my son&#39;s hosue in the morning and pick up a consent form to get medical treatment for Scotty, if need be, and also pick up the video games for his handheld Leapster.  Then I have to go to Scotty&#39;s mom&#39;s and pick him up as he is spending the night with her tonight.  Hopefully Greg will be able to get away from the office at lunchtime so we can get on the road.  Scotty and I will have the car all loaded by the time he gets here so he will just have to change out of his dress clothes and get in and drive.

You don&#39;t know how much your kind words and thoughts mean to me. The gathering and the &quot;ashes ceremony&quot; were more of a celebration of his life with people telling stories and anecdotes about him - some that would make you laugh and some that might make you cry. That&#39;s the type of person he was and he would have wanted it that way. Some people thought it was kind of strange that at his funeral, in Jan., we did not have a religious service but rather an &quot;open mike&quot;, as it were, for anybody to come up and say a few words - that&#39;s what he wanted. <br /><br />I just got back from lunch and shopping with a good friend of mine. She was all upset and depressed because of something that happened to a good friend of her husband&#39;s. This friend&#39;s 6 year-old grandson died as a result of a dirt bike accident on Father&#39;s Day. He was riding with his dad and crashed into him sustaining serious brain injuries.

Today is the day our company arrives.   I am so anxious to see them again.   We always have such a good time together and tonight the 8 of us are going to our local college to their culinary school&#39;s restaurant.    It should be a fun weekend.   If I am missing from the boards you&#39;ll know why but I&#39;ll catch up eventually.    Yesterday went very well, by last night&#39;s meeting the kids were completely comfortable and were a little bored by the celebrity of it all.   Ash wants to know if she is now a &quot;BIG&quot; star.  I must say I was amazed at Deb - she is a wonderful public speaker and at one point had the audience and the HA director reduced to tears with her story of how they finally got TJ off the ventilator on Christmas day.   That was the afternoon session.   At the evening session the director left the room when Deb started to talk as the director had to speak next and was unable to do so during the afternoon session.<br /><br />Happy Summer - summer officially arrives at 7:59PM - perhaps this screwy weather will straighten out now.   Joey- thanks for the warning Hot,hot, hot is on the way.    Stay cool out there.   <br /><br />Andrea - we are missing you.   Hope everything is OK.    <br /><br />Cheryl - travel safely.  I&#39;m sure it will be a long ride with Scotty anxious to get there but the look on his face the first time he sees Disneyworld will be priceless.   <br /><br />Rat - great to see you on the Dock.   Hope all is well with you.<br /><br />Jackie - We were happy to hear all is well.   I&#39;m sure you are all very busy getting settled.   Can&#39;t wait to see pictures of the place.<br /><br />Well I still have a pasta salad to make and run the duster around the living room.    Our living room tables all have glass inserts in them and glass and grandkids just do not work out well.   <br /><br />I&#39;ll be back when I can, make today special and have a great weekend.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-06-20 12:59:28',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(294819,1421,1,18,290771,'2008-06-20 14:15:22',NULL,'','Today is the day.

That would be so wonderful for all of you.<br /><br />Many years ago our dear friends were in the process of adopting and needed a letter of recommendation from us.   Of course I wrote a glowing letter for them but then since the typewriter was out (which shows how long ago it was - I used a manual typewriter) I wrote a &quot;joke&quot; letter also.   Things like they never proved how her first husband ended up in bed without a head and they never proved he did rob those atomic bombs, etc.   Just a whole lot of nonsense.   When we handed them the fake letter, they never opened it and said they trusted us.   I had to fess us real quickly and boy did we have a laugh over that.   I then gave them the real letter.    We still joke about the fake one (and their baby son is now turing 30 this year)  Good luck - I&#39;m sure you will find excellent references.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-06-20 17:28:58',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(294844,2066,1,18,290771,'2008-06-20 17:38:57',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=294843:date=Jun 20 2008, 07&#58;28 AM:name=cruisetarp)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (cruisetarp &#064; Jun 20 2008, 07&#58;28 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=294843\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Are you and David considering getting married at Jackie&#39;s Inn.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />thats one of our plans hopefully the staff can get back to us before our weekend is booked.. <br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE </div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->I&#39;m sure you will find excellent references.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />I hope so...

Only one body has been recovered.<br /><br />- They&#39;re victims of a &quot;body dump&quot; from an organized-crime &quot;cleanup crew.&quot;<br /><br />- They&#39;re the work of a killer preying on young men.<br /><br />Noting that more than nine men have gone missing from the Lower Mainland in the past two years, he says: &quot;It may be connected to all these young adult males who have gone missing over a couple of years, who may be victims of a sexual predator who is killing and dumping them.&quot;<br /><br />Gordon isn&#39;t the only one to think the severed feet may belong to murder victims, and dozens of theories have sprouted. International media have turned a spotlight on the mystery, with a Province reporter being asked to discuss the feet on BBC Radio&#39;s &quot;Up All Night&quot; and Fox News&#39; &quot;On the Record.&quot;<br /><br />While an accident may be plausible, it wouldn&#39;t explain the number of feet that have been washing ashore, says Seattle oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, who agrees something criminal may be going on.<br /><br />&quot;The number of feet are highly unusual,&quot; he says.<br /><br />&quot;I would expect a smattering of body parts -- an upper arm, a lower arm, a head, a leg. This is statistically extremely unlikely, which begs foul play.&quot;<br /><br />While the feet could belong to accident victims, Ebbesmeyer says they would have to be from the area.<br /><br />&quot;Drifting objects could float into the Georgia Strait from up to 1,000 miles away, but objects usually wash up closest to where they were put into the water,&quot; says Ebbesmeyer.<br /><br />&quot;Whatever is happening there, wherever those bodies first entered the water was in the Strait of Georgia.&quot; &quot;<br /> <br /><br /><b>STEVE </b>- careful with those meds - don&#39;t want the dogs getting grouchy .... and gramps licking his privates&#33;<br /><br />And on that shopping/saving thing ..... women always show hubby the expensive stuff first - then pick a few off the sale rack - savings galore&#33;  We learn that at a young age ;o)<br /><br /><b>JACKIE</b> - hope you get some time off soon...don&#39;t overdo&#33;  And we do miss you around here so get back to us as soon as you can.<br /><br /><b>MARY LOU</b> - Sounds like you ae going to need a few days to recoup&#33;<br /><br /><br />Anyway - off for a soak in the tub - just hope I don&#39;t find any feet in there that aren&#39;t attached to my ankles  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wink2:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />','hazelson','hazelson','2008-06-23 06:52:35',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(295236,920,1,18,290771,'2008-06-23 08:09:47',NULL,'','Steve: Cervesa is good&#33;&#33;  And safer than water.

You are so talented - I envy you the ability to fix things like that.   Just talking to Cait last night who is like that.   Before she came up here she dismantled and fixed her pool filer.   She certainly didn&#39;t learn how to do things from her father - don&#39;t know where she got so talented but I plan on finding a few things for her to do around here today.  lol<br /><br />Well I hear movement from the living room so the girls are up.

I know it will be painiting of the family room, right next to the kitchen. I already bought the paint but will probably not start it until after we return from NY in July. So happy the Dr. gave your the thumbs up for your adoption and he&#39;ll write the letter you need. Sounds like it&#39;s falling into place.<br /><br />Andrea hope your middle of the road day gets better. Not a great start but crossing my fingers for improvement. Sorry about Dad&#39;s tooth, just what you both didin&#39;t need. Why are these older people so darn stubborn???? Guess it&#39;s not bothering him so he&#39;d be at the dentist. I agree with Joey the washer is high on my list of appliances that must work, probably #2. Don&#39;t care if the stove works.......we can always BBQ.<br /><br />Sue hope the closets go well.

The kid&#39;s realtor is sending a note to the bank on Friday to see where they are.  Not sure that they will now take this house.  On our way home from looking at the other house we stopped by my husband&#39;s cousins house and told him the kids were looking for a house.  He told them he &quot;Had the deal of the century&quot; if they were interested.  His mother has been in a nursing facility for a couple of years and he needs to sell her house.  He said he had it appraised for &#036;75,500 but he would sell it for &#036;50,000.  It sets on just over an acre of land and has a fairly new 3 car garage,out in the country.  The hold back is the house itself.  It is two bedrooms, no central air and has not been updated for propably 60 years besides the new spetic and well.  So we took them to see it last night.  My suggestion was to knock it down and start over or pull a modular in for now.  The DIL is not real hip on modulars but for that price and where it is it is the &quot;deal of the century&quot;.  Kyle was not real excitied about the work that would have to be done in the house.

A simple one is just a  concrete block room built somewhere in the middle of the house with its own ventilation.

We are home&#33;&#33;&#33;  We did not go to the Grand Canyon as planned.  At first Scotty said he wanted to see it, then he didn&#39;t, then he did again and finally, the night before we were to leave Disney, he decided that he really didn&#39;t want to and Greg wasn&#39;t going to drive 500 miles out of his way if the munchkin had no interest, as we have been there several times.  You all know how much I love the little guy, but I must say, it is nice to not be on &quot;kid duty&quot; 24/7.  As we left his house after dropping him off, Greg said &quot;do you hear that&quot; and thinking that maybe he heard some strange noise with the car, I said I didn&#39;t hear anything.  He smiled and said &quot;exactly&quot;.  I haven&#39;t had a chance to go back and read all the posts yet, but I will.  I got to talk to Joey on the phone a few minutes while we were at Disney and I was waiting on Greg and Scotty to get back from one of the rides.  I was having a little trouble hearing him as it was so loud there, so I should have picked a better time to call, but I felt like I could have sat and talked to him for hours.

I did get in a short Monarch cruise in May but, mostly, it&#39;s been work, a week in Alabama in early June for an advanced child forensic interview training and then my youngest son&#39;s graduation from Cal Poly June 14th with a BS in kinesiology.  As I write this, he is on the runway at SFO, bound for Argentina.  He lucked into an incredible temporary job that will have him flying back and forth to Argentina, all expenses paid, several times over the summer, all expenses paid.  He&#39;s involved in drugs trials for end stage cancer, rather sad work but, should the drug be successful, it will be so wonderful.  He&#39;s spoken Spanish, almost since birth which is the reason a friend&#39;s mother thought he would be perfect and recruited him.

Thought I had a spider or other kind of insect bite on my lower back.  It hurt like hell.  My nurse practitioner friend took one look at it and laughed, &quot;Shingles,&quot; she diagnosed immediately.  Lucky I had some of that Canadian codeine ( purchased over the counter whenever I&#39;m in Vancouver ).  When I got home to SF, I was on Zovirax.

We went to a birthday party for my oldest son&#39;s girlfriend&#39;s daughter&#39;s 3rd birthday.  it was a potluck dinner at a park and was very nice.  Greg is not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, and although I did not voice it to him, I am really looking forward to it.  I have not had a minute to myself in the past 10 days and am excited at the thought of having the whole day.  Joey, I hope that David has made it home by now.  Bet he is tired after all that traveling.    Carmen, it was so nice to hear from you.  That is one mighty good looking boy you have there.    Jackie, do you have to do all the cooking by yourself or do you have someone to help?  Jenn, we think you are perfect and I wouldn&#39;t change a single thing about you - other than wishing you great health.  Shari, it always good to hear from you - how is Izzy doing?  we haven&#39;t seen any pics in quite some time.  Mary Lou, I hope you are feeling better by now.  You may remember that I had a bout of shingles in January - thought it was an allergic reaction to something until I went to the dr.  As you now know, they run along a nerve path so that is why you only had it on one side of your face.  Mine started at my spine and ran around the left side, pretty much where my bra would touch, so I thought that was what was causing it.  The dr. said that there was a greater than not chance that it was a one time occurance and I would never have another flare up, so hope that is the case for you also.  Andrea, hope the cooler weather stays with you for a bit - we never get to leave our windows open.  We go from freezing cold to blazing hot in one day.  Does anyone know when Steve is due back from the wedding?  Rose, the pics of your kitchen look great. When we had ours redone last year, I would just go in there and look at it all the time.

Joey, no plans for the 4th for us.  I bought some T-bones and fresh corn on the cob yesterday and we will throw them on the grill on Friday and just relax here at home.  Our son Chris, will be in Vegas then and Scotty will be with his mom, so it will be a quiet day.  Our house backs to an open space, and from our deck, we can see the display&#39;s put on by the City of Denver, Broomfield, Westminster, Thornton and Northglenn.

Were supposed to leave KC at 4PM Thurs but there was a storm in Houston that closed the airport.  Didn&#39;t leave KC until 6:30 PM.  We were lucky because our plane was the only one the left for Houston, all other flights were cancelled.  Made our connection in Houston, leaving 1-1/2 hours late.  Got to Veracruz City about 1 AM and the hotel about 2AM.  Made a great discovery at the hotel.  I packed the C-PAP machine but not the hose and mask&#33; <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blush.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":blush:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blush.gif\" /> <br /> <br />Next morning we left for Monte Gordo about 10:30AM an arrived around 1PM.  160 KM drive, plenty of Gulf views and mountains.  Very pretty drive except for the three Mexican Federalies check points.  They have a drug war going on down there and they take it very seriously.<br /><br />We stayed at the Hotel Acucar, which is where the wedding was held.  We had the whole resort.  About 70 people attended the wedding.<br />The groom&#39;s mom was able to get out of Cuba and attended.  A very neat lady.  Talked with her through an interpreter, very strong, intellegent lady.  She has a two year visa for Mexico and can apply for citizenship at that time so does not have to go back.<br /><br />They had a spa with the hotel.  Lynda and I both had theraputic massages for 1 hour.  Price was &#036;480 pesos or approx &#036;46.00 USD.<br />It was better than any message I have ever gotten on a cruise ship&#33;<br /><br />Wedding was on Sat and was nice but, in my opinion wierd&#33;  Since they were already married in NY this was not a religious ceremony.<br />Half the wedding was in English, sort of, a lot of meditation, people saying &quot;OOOOOOOM&quot; and Lynda hitting me in the ribs&#33;  Don&#39;t want to offend anyone who meditates, it&#39;s just nothing I have ever done.  Wierd&#33;  The other half of the ceremony was in Spanish so have no clue what they said.  Everyone enjoyed it and there was a free bar for the evening so even I was happy&#33;<br /><br />They set up a hugh tent for the dinner and reception. The end facing the Gulf was open which made a pretty picture.  They had an excellent band.  Sara, the bride is a ballet dancer in NY City so many of the other people were dancers also.  Those kids can dance to Latin America music.  If I tried half the moves they were doing something would have broken&#33;<br /><br />The place was really nice.  Clean and right on the beach.  Service was excellent.  Food was good, but Lynda and I got a tried to authentic Mexican food.  We left Sunday afternoon and made the 2-1/2 hrs drive back to Veracruz City.  Left Veracruz at 6:30AM and all went smooth an on time for the return flights.<br /><br />Now for my soap box.  After watching the grooms family having a reuinon after 9 years it really burns me up that politians make decisions based on how it will affect their power.  This mother could not see or touch her kids for 9 years&#33;  Why, because of politics&#33;  How did she get out?  Money, of course.  This family is just like ours except they are from Cuba and speak Spanish.  The happiness and love they all showed and shared made the trip worth it&#33;.<br /><br />Sorry, just wanted to vent.<br /><br />Will try and get caught up this weekend and will get some picutres posted.','lashl','lashl','2008-07-02 04:36:05',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(296687,2542,1,18,296542,'2008-07-02 06:25:51',NULL,'','Just got home - I&#39;m pooped&#33;  But we have tomorrow and Thursday off.... yeah.

Greg and I leave a month from today for our annual anniversary trip.  This year, we are going to play on the beaches of Corpus Christi and Padre Island for 8 days.  I can&#39;t wait for those walks on the beach at sunset&#33;&#33;&#33;  Had a busy day today.  My son, Chris, is leaving tomorrow morning to take his girlfriend to Vegas so he took today off to get some things ready.  He showed up here at 10:00 this morning (woke me up) and then we went to run a few errands and out to lunch.  He even went willingly to JoAnn Fabrics with me.  After we got back, and he left, I made a run to Hobby Lobby and Big Lots.  I had started the project several years ago of refinishing my piano - it had been at my mother&#39;s house from the time I was little until she passed away 11 yrs. ago.  Then I brought it here but it was not looking too pretty.  My stepdad always put his coffee cups on it and it had rings all over the top.  I tried to sand them out and they were so deep, I had to go all the way down to the natural wood.  Then I tried a brush on stain but it looked awful, so I only did a small part of it.  It has sat unfinished for all this time.  Anyway, I had such success refinishing my grandmothers cedar chest with a mahogany gel stain (my first time to use gel) on Monday that I decided to tackle the piano again.  It goes so quick that I already have the first coat on and will do another coat tomorrow.  I need to go to JoAnn&#39;s again and get fabric to recover the piano bench.  I would like some kind of tapestry material.  Well, guess I had better scoot - Greg just brought a box of the cookie dough up from the basement and is asking me how to make them - which translates into &quot;will you come do this&quot;....<br />','Gregswife','Gregswife','2008-07-03 06:49:48',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(296783,4386,1,18,296542,'2008-07-03 07:07:20',NULL,'','Hi Everyone,<br /><br />I had a fairly quiet day at work...with Friday being a holiday, it was my only day in the office this week.

They saw their first patient yesterday in a town of 50,000.  He was so impressed with the man&#39;s physician, an oncologist, who he said seems to be revered by everyone.  Jeremy and his boss had dinner with the doc and Mrs. Doc last evening.  He was telling them that he didn&#39;t have a cell phone.  &quot;I don&#39;t need it...everyone knows where I live and, if they need me, they just come knock on my door.&quot;  Jeremy said that, during the five hours the patient was getting the IV cancer drug, the doctor would come in a pat his patient on the shoulder from time to time and ask how he was doing, if he needed something to eat or drink.  Of course, there were nurses but this doctor just seemed to really care about his patient.

I attended DH&#39;s 20th year class reunion and I think that was enough to do me in.  LOL&#33;  My own crew did get together at around year 20 for a wedding that a friend had at Lake Las Vegas.  I&#39;d never been there and it&#39;s not too far from here.  I highly recommend it to anyone wanting some place more secluded, beautiful and more upscale.  Not so much more upscale but more tastefully upscale I should say.  You can still get to the strip (about a 45 min. drive).  The wedding was on a nice sized yacht and we cruised around the lake for hours.  After that we did all drive back to the strip and went clubbing.  I&#39;m so not a clubbing person so we didn&#39;t stay long.  I got more drunk than I realized and admit I felt like a kid again.   I&#39;ll probably never see them again though.  We are in different circles.  I&#39;m the crazy one who left Oklahoma and they all stayed there together.  Hopefully your DH&#39;s 40th will go great and the friends he wishes to see will come.  Mine&#39;s didn&#39;t so he was really disappointed.  His closest friends were a no show.  <br /><br />Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

LOL   Only 14 more Saturdays till we board the &quot;Oosterdam&quot; to the Mexican Riviera...I&#39;m getting really excited.  At that time, it will be almost 4 years since our last cruise.  Then we have another one, on the Carnival Pride, to the Caribbean in July of 2009.  We&#39;ve never been double stacked before.  Too exciting&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  Wish we were able to sail on the &quot;Connie&quot; with you.  I would sooo love that&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Tonia...loved your beautiful card&#33;  Don&#39;t work too hard...looking forward to meeting you in October.<br /><br />Steve...loved your pictures&#33;  It is sooo beautiful there&#33;  Glad you and Lynda are starting to feel better.<br /><br />Jenn...hope you&#39;re feeling better and watching that BP.  That was sooo nice of Hugh to get you the angel.  He&#39;s a sweetie&#33;<br /><br />Mary Lou...that&#39;s so great that you&#39;re starting to feel better&#33;  That was very special of Jim to make you the lobster dinner.  He&#39;s a sweetie&#33;<br /><br />Rose...you are amazing&#33;  I wouldn&#39;t know where to begin to fix the things that you do.  Hope all goes well this week, and you have a great time at the wedding this weekend&#33;<br /><br />Andrea...don&#39;t worry about the posts...I was a little shocked at that one myself&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...glad you had a great time at Disney with little Scotty.  They really can tire us out, though, I know.  Good luck with stripping the wallpaper...not a favorite job of mine, for sure.  <br /><br />Welcome Falina...it&#39;s so nice to have you aboard&#33;<br /><br />Welcome Shaunna...it&#39;s so nice to have you aboard&#33;<br /><br />Joey...what a fantastic picture&#33;  It&#39;s so nice that you had a great weekend and time to spend with Jackie and Tony&#33;<br /><br />Ed...hope you can have the house back to yourselves soon&#33;<br /><br />Carmen...it&#39;s so nice to have you back&#33;<br /><br />Jackie...don&#39;t work too hard&#33;  Hope the Internet challanges are resolved soon&#33;<br /><br />Kevin...Wow&#33;  What a great hike&#33;  Sounds like you are keeping busy with fun and adventureous things....and spending time with family.  That&#39;s very special.<br /><br />Maria...you can send some of that rain here.  We do need some rain&#33;  It must be exciting to be getting ready to have your family move in.  It will be so nice to have some time with them.<br /><br /><br />Hi to Sue, Karla, Debbie, Keith and all Cruise Crazies...Have a great day&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;','Shari2','Shari2','2008-07-07 10:15:09',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(297575,488,1,18,296542,'2008-07-07 12:06:22',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#8B0000--><span style=\"color:#8B0000\"><!--/coloro--><u>MONDAY - JULY 7TH</u><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good morning Crazies and welcome to another week.    Today I am going out&#33;&#33;&#33; YEAH.    Don&#39;t know where to or don&#39;t know how but I have to get out of this place now.      I need to get back on my feet quick - Jim is getting entirely too comfortable in the kitchen.    We may have a power struggle going on here.   Yesterday he made a turkey breast, garlic mashed potatoes and lima beans w/ tomatoes and garlic.   I know I&#39;ve got a good man there and besides I&#39;ve been married to him for 41 years so I think I&#39;ll keep him around for awhile longer.   hehe<br /><br />I&#39;m so happy to see so many of our new members posting on the dock.    If we can do anything to help you along the way, please ask.   I hope you enjoy the time you are spending here.   <br /><br />Joey - we are all waiting to hear about your trip.    How far away are Jackie &amp; Tony from where you live? <br /><br />Cheryl - Ashleigh is already used to full day school.   Her Kindergarten was full day so she is all ready for 1st grade.   The question is -&quot; Is 1st grade ready for Ashleigh.&quot;<br /><br />Ed - hope you are bidding a fond farewell to your company today.    You and Roe need a break.<br /><br />Steve - OK - no lecture from me.    Just don&#39;t overdo it.<br /><br />Shaunna - tell us a bit about your granddaughter.   Aren&#39;t grandkids the greatest&#33;<br /><br />Falina - I have a grammar school reunion coming up in October and I&#39;m still undecided on whether I want to go or not.   Time will tell.<br /><br />Shari - glad you had a good weekend and your weather was OK.   As I&#39;ve said, ours was a real washout.<br /><br />Carmen &amp; Tonia - Guess you are both happy to see the long weekend over.<br /><br />Time to get up and moving.   I&#39;m determined to spend more time out of bed than in it today.    I need to go to Staples today and get some folders for our Connie Goes Crazie cruise.   I&#39;ve been printing up all kinds of things I&#39;ve been finding on the net and they are taking over my desk.   I need to organize things now.   <br /><br />Make today special <br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-07-07 12:06:22',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(297585,5024,1,18,296542,'2008-07-07 15:36:09',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=297545:date=Jul 6 2008, 08&#58;24 PM:name=Gregswife)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (Gregswife &#064; Jul 6 2008, 08&#58;24 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=297545\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->OMG, am I the only one who didn&#39;t know that was where Joey and David were headed?

I finally got out yesterday for a bit and boy did it feel good.

What a tragedy.   I&#39;m sre you are busy getting ready for Courtney to move out and the wedding this weekend.    Now if you can find a place for your son to move to you will be empty-nesters.   It takes some getting used to but it is very nice.   <br /><br />Jenn - sorry they are giving you such a run around with your medical records.   Isn&#39;t the idea for you to keep calm, not get all worked up over their foul-ups.<br /><br />Joey - they will pay for me to stay overnight the night before I report.   Kind of sketchy about the next night and will pay for parking and &#036;40- per day pay.    If I drive (no hotel_) they will pay me &#036;.55 a mile.   Apparently from what I hear they do not excuse you any longer because you are somehow related to someone in law enforcement - in NY all I would have to say is my cousin works in the DA&#39;s office and they couldn&#39;t get me out of there quickly enough.   <br /><br />Kevin - You certainly lead an exciting life with your climbing and hiking.

Should be in the next hour or so. Working on getting all the details done for our NY trip this weekend. I&#39;ll be glad when it&#39;s over........and I&#39;m home again. Highlight will be a visit to my Nephew for a few hours before heading upstate to the wedding. Howie&#39;s nephew is getting married and I have an issue spending this kind of money on a kid that doesn&#39;t bother with his uncle. We&#39;re doing it for my brother and sister-in-law. I know that sounds mean but his nephew&#39;s just don&#39;t bother with Howie which is truly sad. Thanks.......I needed to vent&#33;<br /><br />Thanks to all of you on the condolences for our neighbor. It is a truly sad site to see. They said it was an electrical fire that started in the attic. Don&#39;t want to give too much of the details as they are grim. <br /><br />Marylou glad to hear you were able to get out of the house for a while. Don&#39;t hurry out the door unless your able to.....<br /><br />Carmen so sorry to hear about your neighbors passing. Thoughts and prayers go out to her husband Tom and her family. <br /><br />Falina don&#39;t worry about missing someone.......we all do it from time to time still. It&#39;s hard sometimes to keep up with the dock so don&#39;t worry about it. So sorry to hear about all the deaths in your family. Hope that that string of luck is over for you&#33;<br /><br />Joey we just replaced the fire extinguisher and now I&#39;m thinking of doing the same with the smoke detectors. That house fire really made me think. I always test them but they say they should be replaced every 5 years or so.<br /><br />Andrea your right about picking your battles. Some days it just doesn&#39;t pay to argue with them&#33;<br /><br />Well off to get some more info for NY. Lots of little trips to fit in only in 2 days. Hope you all have a great day&#33;','sailingrose','sailingrose','2008-07-08 20:07:00',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(297884,2066,1,18,296542,'2008-07-08 20:07:29',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=297867:date=Jul 8 2008, 08&#58;20 AM:name=zebra)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (zebra &#064; Jul 8 2008, 08&#58;20 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=297867\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Hi Joey..... you should receive the ring today or tomorrow&#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Thanks <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbup.gif\" />','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2008-07-08 20:07:29',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(297899,573,1,18,296542,'2008-07-08 20:54:05',NULL,'','Good morning Crazies&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Today we are really acting like Seniors ...
