<br /><br />Good Morning All,<br /><br />Joey:  It&#39;s still early here on the West Coast and you are already stirring up trouble&#33;&#33;  But, you did a great imitation of Mr. Bojangles dancing out of it.<br /><br />Jackie: Glad to hear the back is a little better today.<br /><br />MaryLou: That&#39;s a amazing turn around time from the IRS.  Not getting a refund, but they did cash my check very quickly.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh2:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> <br /><br />WOW Jackie and Jenn those cruises are coming up fast.  We are exactly one month out.  One month from today we will be flying out of New Jersey heading to Miami and the Valor.<br /><br />Oh yes Steve.  I just had a ball on the Bloomingdale&#39;s, Dillard&#39;s and Nordstrom&#39;s trip.  Actually, it is kind of fun watching women picking out shoes.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />  The shorter they are the higher the heels&#33;&#33;  Man, I saw a couple of them who could have starred on &quot;Biggest Loser.&quot;  Oh well, we did pick up a Panini maker at Bloomingdale&#39;s and Roe found a pair of MUDDS shoes.  <br /><br />I was reminded of you Steve when we went to Pet Smart, they had about a hundred dogs outside up for adoption and I saw a good looking Brindle Boxer.<br /><br />Deb:  Beautiful house&#33;&#33;  What is all that green stuff out front???  Oh yes, I remember grass.  Don&#39;t have any of that any more.  All landscaping rock, yuccas, and about 15 palm trees of all kinds. OH, and lots of roses, rosemary and other desert type plants.<br /><br />Joey:  Penny slots are the tightest in the casino.  In terms of percentage returned, they are the worst.  That&#39;s the &quot;Gospel&quot; according to Ed.  The only guy on the board with a Casino named after him&#33;&#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" /> <br /><br />Cheryl: HOpe you are enjoying yourself, wherever you are.<br /><br />Jackie: We will be at the Grand Hyatt the night of May 24th.  We dock that same day in Miami and will driving over to see my sister in St. Pete.<br /><br />Later,<br /><br />
