I know it is a sad day because of the loss of your cousins but Kevin had an excellent idea about trying to go out of your way to help someone today as a way to honor them.  (((hugs))) Happy Birthday to your Dad.<br /><br />Robert- Your Hurricane Roulette comment is funny but accurate&#33;  If I didn&#39;t have a plane to catch I wouldn&#39;t mind an extra 2 days on a ship...I hope they at least opened the bar for everybody on the Ecstasy&#33;  <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 />Shaunna - glad to hear work is going better for you.  I wouldn&#39;t have a clue what to do with such a fancy phone&#33;  I am happy when mine rings  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />   Sometimes it doesn&#39;t&#33;  Hubby&#39;s never has been a problem, mine always had and this has been the third set of phones we have had...always the exact same phones and mine is always the one that gives us a problem, even after I get a replacement&#33;  I am beginning to either think I have some kind of cell phone curse or seriously give off some kind off electrical charge that freaks out cell phones&#33;&#33;&#33;   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> <br /><br />Deb - and how is it with you?  loved your kitty picture&#33; real cutie<br /><br />Steve - Poor Heidi&#33;  LOL that should teach that poodles owner to control that vicious animal&#33;  LOL  the next time the poodle won&#39;t be so lucky.  While I was at my parents this morning my brother called from MO...he lives about an 1 1/2 hours west of St. Louis.  He said it was really raining and windy there.<br />It has rained so much here we woke up to see the water starting to overflow the pool and I had to pull the plug to start draining it&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl- too bad your company had to leave early...but you have had a good time and you have your cruise all worked out  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Jenn - hoping you are feeling better.  I haven&#39;t wanted to get involved in a very long book lately.  seems like if I can&#39;t devote enough time to finishing it in a few days then i lose interest.<br /><br />We lost power in the middle of the night and just got it back about 8:00 am.  Wouldn&#39;t had gotten it back that soon but  back in the spring I got my parents on a priority re-connect list.  That prioritizes the work orders that goes out to the guys in the trucks to get the power back on to people that have health problems...those that are just elderly or needing power for O2 or anykind of medical equipment...my parents qualify on all of that...LOL<br />The girls didn&#39;t even have school today...I don&#39;t think much of anybody has power around here.  All the schools in town are out too.<br /><br />HI to everybody and have a good day.<br /><br /><br /><br />
