We are expecting a wet weekend and I don&#39;t know what will happen with Michaels brother-in-laws suprise party on Saturday.    It is supposed to be out in Deb&#39;s yard and I know she does not want all those people in her house.     I still haven&#39;t found a b&#39;day gift for a 50 YO man who has everything.   Thanks for the suggestions Debbie but he does not enjoy eating out, does not like going out anywhere and basically the only thing he likes is buying cars.   He&#39;ll keep a car for a few months get tired of it and trade it in for something else.     He&#39;s quite large, so buying clothes is out of the question.   He would like season tickets to the NY Mets or NY Jets -   Anyone care to donate to the cause.   lol <br /><br />Just made hotel reservations to go to Hershey Park next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for our earlier cancelled trip.   Even got a better deal on the hotel, so I&#39;m pretty happy right now.<br /><br />Ed - I&#39;m sure you will be very happy to see the new pastor standing before your congregation.    It has been a long search.     Sounds like your TA cruise is shaping up to be a fun trip.   Just take care of the Ruby Princess and bring her safely over to Ft. Lauderdale for Jim &amp; I.    I&#39;m really looking forward to trying Princess and the ship looks gorgeous.<br /><br />Shaunna - how&#39;s it going with the tenant.   Has Steve told him yet to get out.   Sounds like that could be messy.  I think Kevin is right and I would be very worried about what is on my hard drive.  Very strange actions for a supposedly grown man.<br /><br />Rose - Sounds like quite a dilema with the approaching wedding.     I think if it were me I&#39;d let Jim go alone and at least save my air fare.    <br /><br />Cheryl (GC)  I&#39;m so happy to see you on the dock more often.    Hopefully that means things have quieted down at home and you have some time to yourself.<br /><br />Sheri - Hope the kitty is feeling better today.     It&#39;s great to see you joining in.<br /><br />Ed - I wouldn&#39;t hold my breath waiting for Cheryl&#39;s check but good try.<br /><br />Cheryl - What is Scotty doing now that his trip with you and Greg is over.<br /><br />Sue - good morning<br /><br />Robert - I&#39;d be happy to take your place on the Disney cruise.   I&#39;ve wanted to do that cruise for some time but it sure is pricey.<br /><br />Jim - have a good day.<br /><br />Time to get some laundry going and plan out my day.   Still no word from the computer man which is making me very nervous.    If it was something minor I think I would have heard something by now.<br /><br />I&#39;ll be back in a bit.   in the meantime make today special.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-07-16 13:01:09',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(375660,2278,1,18,373426,'2009-07-16 13:52:41',NULL,'','<i><b>Good Morning everyone.<br /><br />Kathy and I are getting a few thing together as we&#39;re going out of town for a couple of days this weekend.

He stays up all night watching so he&#39;s been taking naps during the day.  For the moment it&#39;s a lot better.  We charge him 400 a month and we&#39;ve projected only keeping him around until Oct. 1st.  That was Steve&#39;s date, not mine so we will see if we last.  He also bought Running for Dummies in which Steve, who has run several Marathons and runs several miles daily, has been unable to stand up from doubling over in laughter.  Bless his heart....you should see him in his little farmer hat, water bottle (tree top applesauce jar), blood pressure gizmo, and COMPASS.  We joked about sending him West until he drops off into the ocean.

We had plans to go to Steamboat Springs for our anniversary...my in-laws have a condo timeshare, and had booked us into the Steamboat as a gift.  Greg and I were just talking about going to Vegas for Labor Day and I was hoping to be able to meet up with you guys then, but then we found out last night that some friends of ours are getting married in Vegas the day after our anniversary and asked if we wanted to go but we thought we were locked into the Steamboat Springs thing.  When I talked to my in-laws today, my FIL said that as long as he was able to give 15 days notice, he could change the reservations without any penalties, as long as Vegas had a condo available.  He just called back and said he had us booked from the 6th - 10th there.  So we will actually spend our anniversary on the road en route, Friday is their wedding, they have several things planned for all their friends attending the wedding on Saturday.  They are hoping to get us all tickets to a show on Sunday and then do a casino night and then we will leave on Monday morning.  We usually go to Vegas at least once a year, but haven&#39;t been since we spent one night there on our way to DisneyLand with our grandson last summer, so I am really looking forward to it.  We will be with 5 other couples and I am sure we will have a great time....<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />Not a problem...we shall catch ya next time.  :D    Done the wedding thing here with friends that came and boy was it a drawn out thing so I totally understand.','Shaunna','Shaunna','2009-07-17 01:25:03',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(375862,5127,1,18,373426,'2009-07-17 01:26:55',NULL,'','Well it&#39;s casino night but instead of going out dancing we are just going to rent a movie and come home.

Once again it&#39;s TGIF - yesterday ended up being our hottest day yet - went into the mid 90&#39;s for the first time but heavy storms all night have once again cooled things down a bit.   This is the strangest summer I can remember.  Right now they are predicting a rainy week next week so not sure what that will do to our Hershey plans.   I&#39;ll have to wait and talk to Deb later today.<br /><br />Cheryl - we are going to Hershey with Deb, Mike, Ash &amp; TJ.   This is the big family trip that had to be cancelled when TJ ended up in the hospital with the flu.    This time though we have not told the kids about it so if we do change our plans it won&#39;t be so traumatic for them (or us)  Have fun at your birthday lunch today.  <br /><br />Donna - so glad you finally got logged on.   We missed you.   Great avatar you have.   Where was that taken? <br /><br />Jackie - congrats on the new job.    It sounds like you are all set to go.    And it is such a relief to the CruiseCrazies to know you have passed your security clearance.   lol  <br /><br />Gemcruiser - isn&#39;t it amazing that people from so many different places can meet and chat like old friends here.   We also have posters from Great Britain (Chris) and Victoria, BC (Jenn) and soon to be Nova Scotia (Donna &amp; James) as well as lurkers from all over the world.<br /><br />Falina - I hope things will turn around now that the pressure is off and you can relax and enjoy your summer a bit before it is back to school time.<br /><br />Ed - sounds like a lovely evening and thanks for keeping us posted on Bryan.   Glad they feel the surgery was a success.    Add me  to the list of people who absolutely hate lateness.   I&#39;m always early and do not like waiting for people to just stroll in when they feel like it.  My time is just as valuable as theirs and if I can made an effort, they should to.<br /><br />Kevin - love your new avatar.    Its funny that you say your legs couldn&#39;t stand a marathon but you are out climbing mountains.    <br /><br />Jim - Enjoy your trip.     <br /><br />Robert - hope all is well.

Seems I have a slow leak in my rear tire.    The warning lights have come on twice this week so something is not quite right and we will be taking my car to Hershey on Monday.  I&#39;ll drop it off and stroll around the mall for a hour or so.   Then it&#39;s home to watch the kids this afternoon.   Deb is having a tent delivered for this big party for her BIL tomorrow which I think might be a good idea - threatening storms in the AM and evening. <br /><br /> Today is Nazareth day (didn&#39;t you all mark your calendars) so I guess we will take the kids for a stroll thru town and get some of those free hot dogs, balloons and 10 cent ice cream cones for dinner.   Tomorrow is their big craft show which I love but looks like Mr. Weather may not cooperate for the second year in a row.

I have his support just because working graveyard at a prison he&#039;s seen and heard his fair share of things and says you won&#039;t find anyone at the prison who says it&#039;s not haunted.  I did see some cool pictures tonight.  One was crazy.... some angel with no head at a place in Northern Nevada just south of the border.  This guy named Rich is in our group and I guess the statue is in a cemetery and the head got knocked off.  It&#039;s just a regular large angel statue.  At night though if you take a picture the head appears back on the angel.  He had the pictures to prove it.. Very odd indeed.  He did have creepy pictures of &quot;Old Tex&quot; at the Goldfield hotel.  Those were awesome.<br /><br />The only thing that has happened with both of us at the same time was on the Enchantment of the Seas.    We weren&#039;t the same for the whole rest of the evening.  We had an imaginary waiter holler something in our ears as we were just sitting next to each other.  It was in the lounge and we were on the back row.. no music or people, as we were very early.  Just a couple of the dancers up on state chatting.  Two or three loud words in my ear and I thought it was the waiter sneaking up in between us from behind to ask us what we wanted.  Steve and I jumped and looked at each other in dis-belief.  That was crazy because the voice was right next to our ears in between our heads as in BETWEEN US.  Then our table mates were saying that the ship had &quot;stuff&quot; happen (later at dinner) because when it was lengthened it wasn&#039;t proportioned right and that &quot;did something&quot;.

Despite having a very late night I am still up at the crack of dawn and still in a bit of shock.    Ralph&#039;s birthday party was a big fat LIE concocted by my family to get me to MY suprise b&#039;day party.   When I first walked in it took a moment to realize why son Dave &amp; family were here and then I saw my friend Debi standing in the corner and realized that I had been fooled.   Appropriately, the party had a &quot;cruise&quot; theme.   I will try and post a picture of the cruise ship cake one of Deb&#039;s co-workers made for me.    As Deb explained, they chose the Cruise theme as I am now cruising into old age.    Where did I every get such a smart a**ed  kid.   lol<br /><br />I don&#039;t have time to read through all the missed posts as Dave &amp; family will be arriving for breakfast shortly and I have to run out for bagels and donuts before they get here.   They have been here for 2 days staying at a hotel helping Deb get ready for the party.  Paige took great delight in the fact that she was only a couple of miles from my house when I spoke to her on Friday and she didn&#039;t tell me about the party.   The other 3 grandkids knew nothing about it til 1/2 hour before I arrived and the cake came.    Ash picked up on the name on the cake right away.<br /><br />I&#039;ll be back once I wake up and get some things done.    Just wanted to get the day started first.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-07-19 13:10:55',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(376260,2658,1,18,373426,'2009-07-19 15:14:05',NULL,'','Good Morning from a coolish Montreal where it is just 62 degrees, For a change we are going out for b&#039;fast&#33;&#33; We need to take a break from all this packing&#33; Yesterday we were told by our agent that the mortgage approval for the folks who want our home was approved.

There is so much we need of major importance once this move is done.We definately will need another car and some new furniture to start with. I really cannot predict our financial situation by years end when the cruise would have to be paid for.

They had an old two story home.  I slept on their couch, but just before I went to bed Rusty&#039;s wife, who was a college professor, told me that if I heard any strange noises in the night it was probably their ghost.  I was hoping for an encounter, but nothing happened.

The only thing thing even remotely similar was when my mom died 12 yrs. ago.  She died at 4:42 Oklahoma time.  I woke up from a sound sleep at 3:42 our time, which was the exact time of her death (she was in the hospital and her monitors had  gone off, so they knew the time of death).  I had an overwhelming feeling that something was wrong...I got up and checked on both the boys, who were teenagers at that time, checked all the doors and windows, animals, etc.  I tried to go back to sleep but it just wouldn&#039;t happen.  About an hr. later, the phone rang with the news.  The following night, I was laying in bed at Greg&#039;s parents, as we had travelled to Okla. for the funeral and I had what I can only describe as a dream, but I was awake.  I mean, I actually saw the &quot;visions&quot; or whatever, just like in a dream.  I saw my mother dancing in a field of wildflowers and she was singing and twirling around, in a long white gown.  My mother had been diagnosed with Parkinson&#039;s at the age of 40 and the last 10-12 yrs. of her life,she had difficulty walking, she had more of a shuffle than a walk and she sometimes had trouble speaking.  I know this is going to sound callous, but after that, I was okay with her death....I truly felt that I had seen &quot;the dream&quot; so that I would know that she was finally whole again and happy and was in a far better place.  I really don&#039;t think it was a spirit or anything, I always felt that God allowed me to see that to comfort me.<br /><br />Kevin, yes, Greg has seen the photos on FB and the comment I made about how great his butt is.  He won&#039;t admit it, but he knows it&#039;s true&#33;&#33;&#33;  He is one of my FB friends, so he sees everything I put up on there.','Gregswife','Gregswife','2009-07-20 06:57:23',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(376342,2611,1,18,373426,'2009-07-20 06:59:38',NULL,'','Tonia, I am so sorry and I will certainly be praying for you.

I don&#039;t check in and you guys are all telling ghost stories.  Rose, that&#039;s awesome.  Ed your pictures today were hilarious.  Cheryl..that was a great movie.  <br /><br />When my son got hit by a car skateboarding (not hurt seriously at all), I knew it when it happened.  That was weird but I always had a connection and a premonition of the end, not how, just this gloomy and sad feeling when I&#039;d look at certain photos over the years.......I didn&#039;t know what it was at the time.  Never felt anything like that with my daughter or with anyone else for that matter.  There was one incredibly sad Thanksgiving after my Dad died... it was awful and inside this incredible sadness that had me crying for no reason all through making and serving dinner.  I kept going over and over to my son&#039;s picture and it was like looking at me all weird.  Should have been a sign..I think in a way my Dad was trying to tell me something.  It happened a couple of more times.  <br /><br />I wish someone would come visit me...gosh darn it.  Like I said, Steve gets to see stuff..mostly mists or most recently a black shadow in our living room.  He sees those at the prison too.  I bet he brought one home but it leaves me alone.  I have no clue what he&#039;s seen just that he swears to it..any more than Ed you probably swear to what you have seen.  I&#039;m hoping my little hobby will allow me to eventually see.  It&#039;s not that I must see to belief because I have faith but it sure would be nice.  I just want to better understand why &quot;things&quot; are sometimes still here on earth instead of where they are supposed to be.  <br /><br />Cheryl that was absolutely a wonderful dream.

Our party continued thru most of yesterday to finish up leftovers and we are now not ready to leave for Hershey but will get things together once I check in here.    If the weather cooperates, we won&#039;t be back til Wednesday night - and today hope to be on the road right after Ashleigh&#039;s tennis sesson.   Plans are to pick her up at 10:15 and keep going but Deb has more packing to do than we do so we shall see.   Depending on the availability of a connection in the hotel I&#039;ll try and check in but can&#039;t promise.<br /><br />I must say all this talk of ghosts has me a bit apprehensive about spending any time in a strange hotel.   I must say I have never had an experience but Ash seems to have some connection with my Mom who passed when she was only 1 1/2 years old.   She is constantly telling me &quot;grandmas weezie said this or that&quot; and is also known to spend a lot of time talking to another deceased relative.   <br /><br />It seems like everyone had a busy weekend - Cheryl your pics from your drive as so beautiful.    Makes me want to get in the car and drive clear across the country seeing all of our countries beauty as we go.   It&#039;s a plan we have long had but never done anything about.<br /><br />Tonia - please keep that appointment and see the dr. and let us know what is going on.   Prayers heading your way that it isn&#039;t anything major.    Sorry I can&#039;t help with any information.   I&#039;m very happy to say that neither TJ nor Ashleigh need any meds for their conditions at this time.<br /><br />Well if I don&#039;t get packing I&#039;ll be in trouble so I&#039;ll get going and try and stop back before we leave.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-07-20 13:52:31',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(376348,5172,1,18,373426,'2009-07-20 14:49:09',NULL,'','Good morning everyone,<br />Couldn&#039;t sleep so I am up early and reading posts.

Our battalion commander had been a state congressman, and was a popular local businessman there, so the airport manager allowed us to use their terminal and grounds to stage our training for two weeks. (Of course she sold us alot of fuel).   A night time radio &quot;personality&quot; started broadcasting that we had &quot;taken over&quot; the airport, were instituting martial law, and were &quot;spraying the local communities with chemicals at night in our black helicopters.&quot;  Every nut job in central Texas started showing up to see what we were up to. So no, I don&#039;t give much credence to the conspiracy theorists in the media.  Hell, our government can&#039;t even keep a presidential affair with an intern secret.  If there was any truth to that hogwash, it would have come out years ago.

They have 20,000 turn up for job fairs ...just insane.  We are at over 12% unemployed.<br /><br />We made the fatal mistake of saying the computer was his as well as the TV because he said he didn&#039;t need those things that much.  We had no clue he would use them the way he has.  He has made inferences that he pays so much in rent he is entitled to usage of everything.  Steve says no way.  Now we know for next time.  We just need to get through two more months and then he&#039;s outta here.  We plan on taking a break through the  holidays and then in January look to rent again.  This time we will just say no living room TV or internet..unless we are not home.  Somehow he doesn&#039;t get that renting a room to him means he should spend some parts of the day there.  This was a weird situation where his religion prevented him from having a TV in his room.  His religion also said no TV on Sunday and he has totally ignored that.  I trusted in that his religion didn&#039;t allow for much TV.  He said he did lots of meditating in his room.  The only time he is in his room is from 3:00am to 7:00am.  It&#039;s like he lied about most of everything.  So now we know not to trust anyone no matter how religious they are.  We trusted him because of our own religion and understanding.  No more... you get a room, a bathroom and USE of the kitchen.  Outside of that we don&#039;t want to see you.  We may arrange two nights where they can have the living room.  I think that&#039;s fair.  We were going to do that with Gary but he said he wouldn&#039;t need the TV that much anyway...<br /><br />We will be doing a happy dance when he&#039;s gone.  Some days are better than others.  I just was unprepared for waking up to this today right away.  But he was right...they were only on it for 30 minutes.  If things always went that smooth there would be no problem.  Oh well...maybe if anyone else is considering renting out a room this will be a lesson on what not to allow for no matter how pretty the package..you could get a Nun and she may be a avid TV watcher in disguise.','Shaunna','Shaunna','2009-07-23 01:18:29',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(376690,3858,1,18,373426,'2009-07-23 02:17:14',NULL,'','Hi everybody&#33; We&#039;re finally getting some much needed rain and the temp is dropping.

The reason is when you do a root canal the nerve of the tooth is removed and thus the  blood supply and nutrents to the tooth so it becomes brittle so the sooner you can put a crown on a root canal tooth the better.  Somrtimes the cost for a rootcanal post and crown can be quite a bit and relize the more you do to a tooth the weaker it is and can still be lost in future , so the second option some of my patents opt for is a Implant the cost is simular with a better pronosis . so if you or anyone has any tooth questions just ask <br /><br />Shaunna yes when we became mom&#039;s nobody told us how hard and heart breaking the job was , we hate to see our children in trouble and we can;t do anything about it .

I had to literaly pick her up off the floor and place her in a chair. After a series of tests including an EKG, Lung XRay, multiple blood tests and finally a CT Scan... we were told that she has an advanced case of lung cancer. Now this is a secondary cancer that has originated from we don&#039;t know as of yet. She is scheduled for a CT guided needle biopsy of the outer part of the lung as well as the liver and pancreas in the morning.<br /><br />She is as of this writing in no pain, a little light headed if she trys to stand and is in overall good spirits.<br /><br />This has taken us by total surprise, as she has not experienced any symptoms as such. We felt that she was mainly run down, dehydrated and with low electrolytes. She is 87 years old.<br /><br />I will be back at the hospital in the morning by 6:30 as I am going to bed.

Well, I haven&#039;t gone into a lot of detail other than to say that my DIL was crazy, and the Christian counselors they were seeing have confirmed that to Gregory.  They gave him a book yesterday called I Hate You, Don&#039;t Leave Me.  We had thought that Darcey was bi-polar as her mom is but her mother takes meds and Darcey will not see anyone about it, but the counselors believe it is something more serious.  They said from what they know of Darcey and what they have read in all the texts and email that she has been sending my son in the 3 weeks since she left...those messages have gotten more and more bizarre, that she will not ever seek help and her periods of &quot;craziness&quot; will just become more frequent and last longer.  They are the founders of a Christian organization thats main purpose is to save the marriage, but they are now telling him that they believe the time has come for him to walk away for the sake of himself and Scotty.  He thought things were really good between them and then she went off on a tangient on Annabelle&#039;s birthday and said she was going to spend the night with her mom and dad and she hasn&#039;t been back.  She keeps sending him texts during the middle of the night telling him that she hates him and she didn&#039;t marry him because she loved him, that she only married him because she didn&#039;t like the fact that he was seeing someone else.  Right after she left, I sent her a text message telling her that we loved her and Annabelle and she sent me one back saying she didn&#039;t care what we thought and for me to mind my own business.  She told the counselor&#039;s that I was always prying into her business and Gregory told them, in front of her that was not true...I truly don&#039;t, I have stayed completely out of their business.  She finally admitted to them that was true.  I have found that about 98% of what comes out of her mouth is not true but the counselors told Gregory that Darcey is delusional and thinks they are true.   She went off on a tirade yesterday because she said he is handling this too well...he told her that he has no choice, that all he can do is give it to God and go on, but she wants him to be falling apart.  He is hurting but he has a child to think about.  I feel so badly for Annabelle, and for the kind of life she is going to have.  All the pictures of Annabelle and Darcey have been removed from my FB acct. and from our home.  We are trying to make the transition as easy as possible for our son and grandson.  I think that Gregory getting that book and seeing what their life could be like with her in it, helped a lot.  He called me last night after they left here, and told me that he had been reading it and it was almost exactly what they had been going thru and he realized that he was not prepared to handle that nor would he allow Scotty to be around it.  It might be different if she would seek psychiatric help, but she won&#039;t - in her opinion, it is everyone else that is the problem, not her.  Okay, far too late to make a long story short, but I said all that in getting to my plans for today...I bought a bunch of large, clear plastic containers and I am packing all the little girl stuff away.  I have 3 nieces who are 2, 1 and 1 month old so I will be saving it all to give to them.  <br /><br />Rose, so glad your mom joined up here.  When Chris moved out 4 yrs ago, I was so terribly sad. All my friends told me that when I grew accustomed to it, I would love the empty nest syndrome and I said I could not imagine that.  Well, they were right.  Then he moved back home for a short time and as much as I love him and enjoy spending time with him...I was so ready for him move again so we could get back into our normal, quiet routine.  I was about ready to go find him a place myself.  Now he is a homeowner so I hope he is out of our house for good&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Jackie, tomorrow is the big day.  I will be praying that it goes well for you and it is all you hope it will be.<br /><br />Donna, as other have said, we are so happy to have you as a part of our family.

We&#039;ll miss you.<br /><br />Steve - hope Lynda&#039;s dog is doing OK today.    Our pets sure do become a part of our family.<br /><br />Jackie - It sounds like you have a very busy weekend ahead of you getting ready to move again.   I hope this arrangement works out for all of you.<br /><br />Cheryl - I&#039;m so sorry about what Darcy is putting your family through.   I know little Annabelle was becoming a part of your family very quickly and to stop her from seeing you is awful.   Glad that Scotty is doing OK with all of this though.<br /><br />Kevin -  love your new avatar.    It won&#039;t be long before she wants one of the convertibles for herself.<br /><br />Falina - how is the fridge working?   Did the repairs work?   I hope the BBQ plans are coming along.<br /><br />Martha - sounds like you have your hands full at work.    Take it easy.    Thanks for the lovely card.

I realize that there are a large number who do not have any, but frankly, I feel that we are taxed beyond what we should be now and I don&#039;t think I should have to pay for their coverage also.

Unless my family has any more suprises up their sleeve I think this will be our last quiet weekend for a while.     Tomorrow night my brother &amp; Sister-in-law will be arriving from Italy for 9 days of appointments and meetings and I will be getting together with them next week but probably not until the weekend.

Remember we are here for you&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl - It&#039;s good to hear that you are planning on doing your part to help the US economy when you are on vacation next week.   Jim is beginning to get tired of me using that excuse.   Time to think of another one.<br /><br />Jackie - you will indeed have a busy weekend moving.    How far away will you be from your home?  Will it be more of a commute to work for you?   If you haven&#039;t heard from Donna about her last name, just go to her profile - it is there.<br /><br />Rose - I&#039;m sure it will work out with DD being back home and happy to hear she is taking her time in making the decision to move in with her BF.

How many times have you posted things about going over to mow your mom&#039;s lawn or doing other things for her?  You have been there for her and I am sure that she knows how much you love her. Since you are a parent yourself, I am sure there were times that your own children did things that hurt you when they were growing up, I know mine certainly did.  Did you hold that against them as they grew into adults?  I am sure you didn&#039;t and it is the same with your mom...you are her child and I am sure that she left those things in the past and knowshow much you love her.  Our oldest son was a Rebel with a capital R....not your normal teenage antics, it was so bad and I am not going to go into detail but he put us thru things that most parents could not even imagine.  He has grown into a fine man now and those things rarely cross our minds - they are never mentioned except for the times that he still apologizes for them and we always tell him to put them behind him as we have.  Please do not dwell in things that are long gone and just concentrate on spending what time she has left, with her and making precious memories out of those times.  Being the mother of 2 boys, I can tell you that sons have a very special place in mom&#039;s hearts...okay, so do daughters, but I can&#039;t speak about that from experience.  You are her son, and she loves you and I know that she takes joy in your presence, so just give that to her and know that you being there is what will make her last days the best they can be.

Jim was sick last night - running a fever, chills, etc and had me pretty worried but seems much better this morning.    So I was sent into the guest room to sleep which didn&#039;t help either.

As others have said, we all have done things in our past we regret both as the parent and the child.    This is the time to treasure the time with your Mom and not dwell on the past.   You are there when she needs you most and that is all that matters.  Also, no matter how much of a hell raiser your child is you may not like them at the time but you never stop loving them.<br /><br />Ed - good luck with the Congregation today.

Haven&#039;t even had a chance to check in until now.<br />Lets see if I can remember all that has happened.  <br /><br />Saturday...Started off getting my Jeep inspected (requirement in Missouri to renew you license plates).  Only two problems, new wiper blades, and replace brake pads all for only &#036;300.  Next pick up Lynda&#039;s little dog.  She is doing better but we have to do an IV drip every four hours.  Printer died, went to Sam&#039;s and got a new printer.  With everything else we got, bill was &#036;300.  Now we are up to &#036;600 for the day.  Went to the grocery store, &#036;132, total for Sat now &#036;732.  Started the drip on Lynda&#039;s dog at 8 PM.  Shunt was blocked.  Trip to the Vet Emergency room.  Now we are up to &#036;932 for the day&#33;<br /><br />Sunday...Started mowing the lawn at 8:30 AM.  Got done in plenty of time for church because my very expensive zero turn radius mower died&#33;  My guess from the sound is it threw a rod&#33;  No guesses on the repair for that, but cheap ain&#039;t it&#33;  Was pushing the mower back to the garage and stepped on a 2&quot; thorn.  Since I was barefooted most of it went into the ball of my foot.  Shoes are out of the question for awhile&#33;  Gramps fell in the bathroom this morning an cut his arm not to mention the bruises but he is all right.  Went to sign on and no Internet connection.<br /><br />Lynda&#039;s dog, Missy, goes back to the vet Monday for more tests.  She is not doing great and I don&#039;t think we will put her through much more.  Will have to see what the tests show.<br /><br />Now for the good news.  Love the new printer HP Photomate C5540.  Very simple and great copies and pictures.  Gave Lynda&#039;s dog four more IV sessions today with no problems.  Don&#039;t even want to think what the vet bill will be&#33;  Just finished having a Root Beer Float.  Bet I haven&#039;t had one of those in 30 years&#33;<br /><br />Now for the best news&#33;  We survived, we have each other, the cruise is only a little more that 100 days out, and the weather is great.<br /><br />Oh, one more funny thing.  I loaned my oldest son my old lawn mower so he would have something to cut his lawn with.  When mine broke I asked if he still had the mower.  His reply, &quot; No, I sold it&#33;&quot;  He sold the lawn mower&#33;  He sold the lawn mower I loaned him&#33;  At that point I just had to start laughing&#33;<br /><br />Hope everyone had a great weekend&#33;<br />','lashl','lashl','2009-07-27 04:58:20',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(377087,920,1,18,373426,'2009-07-27 05:22:19',NULL,'','<br /><br />Steve:  MAN, you need more that a root bear float&#33;&#33;  What a weekend&#33;&#33;  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbdown.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbdown:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbdown.gif\" /> <br /><br /><div align=\'center\'><img src=\"http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd38/shuleria/cvuteemopic.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></div>','The Skipper','The Skipper','2009-07-27 05:22:19',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(377088,920,1,18,373426,'2009-07-27 05:26:04',NULL,'','<br /><br />Steve:  Whatever you do, don&#039;t look UP&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br /><img src=\"http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj11/darkflame_91/Funny/eef3eb00.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />','The Skipper','The Skipper','2009-07-27 05:26:04',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(377089,920,1,18,373426,'2009-07-27 05:31:09',NULL,'','<br /><br /><br />Steve:  Saw this guy in your backyard.

They will ride, scratch, burp, fart and whatever else it is that guys do when they are together.  Anyway, I doubt that I will be able to drag it all to the curb.  We kept the ladder and filter because we do plan to replace the pool next summer.  Took my car in yesterday for a transmission flush and servicing.  It is 2 yrs. old and has 48,000 miles on it...I think it had 5 miles on it when I drove it away from the Cadillac dealer in June of &#039;07.  Anyway, since we are going to Vegas next week and then driving it to Galveston and back in Oct., Greg thought we may as well have it done now since they recommend it at 50,000 miles and it will probably have that before we get home from Vegas.  He called Tires Plus and the guy said it would be &#036;189 but when we got there, they said that he had not included the price for a new filter kit and for this and for that so it ended up being &#036;375....I thought Greg would balk about that but he said it was much cheaper than putting a new transmission in the vehicle.  After dropping the car off, we went to the Boy Scout store and spent &#036;100 on the stuff Scotty needed to start Cub Scouts this coming week...that coupled with the cost of brunch out and then a late dinner at our favorite mexican restaurant, brought us to only spending about &#036;535 yesterday...so you win&#33;&#33;&#33;','Gregswife','Gregswife','2009-07-27 06:10:16',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(377099,488,1,18,373426,'2009-07-27 13:08:29',NULL,'','<b><!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style=\"color:#FF0000\"><!--/coloro-->MONDAY - JULY 27th<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></b><br /><br />Good morning Crazies.

On Saturday afternoon our air conditioner in our house went out.  We decided we would handle the heat in Florida at night, <!--sizeo:3--><span style=\"font-size:12pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--> WRONG<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->, even with the windows open and the fans on it felt like 100 in the house. So, Sunday morning I packed up the kids, Jim my hubby and myself and went to the LaQuinta for the night untl we can call a repairman this morning.  We did want to do this yesterday due to the cost of a service call on the weekend.  The kids enjoyed the pool at the hotel and I enjoyed the air conditioning.  I read the book &quot;Cruise Confidential&quot;, has anyone read this yet?  It was funny and enlighting.  Anyway, after the pool and dinner we were exhausted and we all turned in at 10 pm.  At 10:30 the phone rings in our room (nobody knows we are here), it&#039;s the front desk, they tell us that they had a complaint about the noise coming from the party in our room.  The desk clerk told us she came to our room and listened at our door and didn&#039;t hear anything, but proceeded to call us anyway.  Upon checking out this morning I told the clerk the story and we didn&#039;t appreciate how the situation was handled.  The clerk called the manager and we were given a free nights stay.  Hopefully we won&#039;t need it tonight, but it&#039;s nice to know it&#039;s free if we need it.  So much for my weekend.<br /><br /><br />Jim- I can sympathize with you, we were in the same situation with my father in law last year and now my dad and step mom this year.  It&#039;s funny it&#039;s only us kids that think we weren&#039;t the angels that our parents wanted, but in our parents eyes they remember all the wonderful things about us.  God bless you and your family, I will keep you and your family in my prayers.<br /><br />Shaunna-  Did you see any Ghosts?<br /><br />Kevin - I love the pictures and your new Avatar picture.<br /><br />MaryLou  - Jackie and I are working as the same position in Edward Jones Investments, but we are working in different cities.  We are both in Florida, Jackie in Tampa and I&#039;m 70 miles north in Ocala.  It&#039;s amazing that Edward Jones has over 10,000 offices all over the world and Jackie and I met here in CruiseCrazies.  So to answer your question, No our paths will not be crossing, but I gave her my info to contact me whenever she need me.
