Good morning, everyone&#33;<br />
<br />
It&#39;s a dreary looking day; the rain just started and it&#39;s on the humid side.  We can use some more rain, though.  Thanks again for all your prayers; mom goes in tomorrow for her surgery.  We have to get up around 4:30 in the morning and get her to the hospital by 6:15.  I got up at 7:45 today and went to bed last night by 1:15 AM.  I&#39;m so proud of myself.  lol  Maybe I can be a &quot;day&quot; person after all.  lol<br />

Jackie...hope your aching muscles are better.  You sure had a horrible experience with the clamming.  The vertigo...is going better now, but when you first come down with it (BPV)it is very violent...room is spinning, can&#39;t look up or down or to the side...can be nauseous, also...bright lights bother you and even trying to look into the doctor&#39;s eyes is hard.  Good thing they have meds for this or a person wouldn&#39;t be able to function.  <br />

Rose...<br />

Hope you get some needed rain, but not the bad weather.  <br />

Cheryl...good luck with getting a new car.  Marc always argues with the sales dealer.  He had our last one calling us back every day until Marc accepted his last price.  Marc is really enjoying our GPS system. Glad you found a restaurant that Greg liked.  It must have been a nice drive up into the mountains.  I would sure love to go through the Rocky&#39;s again.  We always used to go through them on the way to California back in the late &#39;60s and early &#39;70s.  It has been a long time since we&#39;ve driven out west.  I&#39;d love to do it again, except the traffic is so much worse these days.  I bet the roads are better going through the mountains, though.<br />

Jen...glad you survived your luncheon with your mom and aunt.   <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' />   Our gal from India...it was an arranged marriage from her parents.  I guess the parents still do that for their girls, and they marry them at a young age; sometimes younger than our gal.  She was 17.  We don&#39;t know if she knew the guy or not.<br />
<br />
Mary Lou...I am saying a prayer for little TJ.  Hope to hear good news.  <br />
So glad you had a nice weekend and avoided some of that traffic going to NJ.  Sounds like you really do need that cruise coming up so you can relax a bit.<br />
Happy Birthday to your brother&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />
<br />
Chuck...good morning&#33;  Beautiful flowers, again.  Thanks&#33;<br />
<br />
Tonia...good luck with your remodeling.  I know how it can be when remodeling and we both have different ideas.   Men are from Mars...and women are from Venus, after all...LOL   <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' />   You will love the AC.<br />
<br />
Smoo...I read about the Kimkins diet.  I&#39;m considering going on it ,too, after I get off of the blood thinner I&#39;m on.  Good luck with it.  Hope things will go better for you at work. <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great day&#33;
