It&#39;s nice to have an outlet, be it such as it is....I&#39;ve mentioned before I take care of my parents a lot and this morning I took my Mother to see her eye specialist.  She has Macular Degeneration in both eyes and has been losing her vision for the past 2 years.  She lost her drivers license last year because she no longer could see good enough to pass the eye test .        <br />Last month her vision was 20/70 in her right eye, she can only see 2 fingers at 2 feet in her left....  That is how they measure sight when patients can no younger see the <b>BIG E</b> on the wall...How far away you can see the Dr. fingers waving at you..   <br />Well anyway, today she was only seeing 20/100, that is legally blind.  The Dr. gave her another shot in her eye, that is the only thing that can help.  Last month he didn&#39;t think she needed a shot and she lost some vision in the eye.  The shots really hurt and she hates getting them but I tell her that it if retains the vision you have it is worth it.  <br /><br />It has just been a ucky day, but my Daddy always says &quot;Don&#39;t feel sorry for yourself if you don&#39;t have any shoes because you are likely to meet a man without any feet.&quot;<br /><br />I don&#39;t mean to be a downer guys, please don&#39;t take it like that....<br /><br />Andrea','55ChevyLady','55ChevyLady','2008-05-13 22:03:38',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(286849,3858,1,18,284682,'2008-05-13 22:10:41',NULL,'','Back from the Dr. and a nice relaxing lunch with my friend.

Andrea, fell free to lean on us, that&#39;s what we&#39;re here for.  When I went to the eye surgeon a few weeks ago and he asked me what was the bottom line I could read on the chart on the wall, I said I could vaguely make out a wall.  Jenn, well, did they give her the thing back???  Crazy weather here again - yesterday it was 79 degrees and today we got snow.  The general rule around here is that once Mother&#39;s Day arrives, you are fairly safe in planting your garden and flowers.  We usually plant that weekend but the weather forecast had foretold of this storm so we held off.  My FIL planted garlic this year and I am urging Greg to try it.  Has anyone ever grown it?  He plants tomatoes, peppers, onions and cilantro, so I told him if I had garlic from the garden, my salsa would be completely homegrown.  Rose, will you be attending your aunt&#39;s funeral?  If so, how far of a drive will it be for you?  10 more days until my lasik surgery and then he guarantees me 20/20 vision.

Friday already?   Boy this week flew by.   I got a lot of little errands done yesterday so today I have an open schedule til 3PM when I have to watch Ash &amp; TJ for a bit.   We got the proofs from their Heart Association pics - they came out great.   Now Deb just has to wait for them to decide which ones to use and they will print up the posters and I&#39;ll be able to share one with you.

I&#39;m glad you had such a great cruise.  Can&#39;t wait to hear some more about it.    I&#39;m sorry you are so busy at work, especially due to the type of work you do.   <br /><br />Karen - Congratulations on the new grandson.   Your other 2 little ones are growing so fast.    I&#39;m sure Killian isn&#39;t too happy with Mommy right now but he will be fine.   It&#39;s a big adjustment for the little ones, no matter how much you prepare them.   <br /><br />Cheryl - the date for your lasik surgery should be coming up soon now.   When is is again.   I know it is sometime this month.<br /><br />Rose - If you feel the weekend trip to Ga. would be too much for you it is best that you stay home.   You have your own memories of your Aunt Rose and don&#39;t need any organized remembrance.   We are here for you.  Your  sister will be there with your Mom &amp; Dad.   <br /><br />Time to get moving.    I need to go buy a new iron this morning.   I didn&#39;t realize those things actually wore out.

I even went on the internet to see if they had it at Beverages and More, our CA wine merchants - and they did, on sale at about &#036;12/bottle - so I ordered a case&#33;<br /><br />Barcelona, for our three days after, was great.  My English friends, who I met eleven years ago, on the Sun Viking in southeast Asia, came to spend the weekend with me.  We ate grilled seafood every day ( that Mediterranean fish is spectacular ).<br /><br />I am headed out for cruise number 20 on the Monarch of the Seas...pretty soon, she&#39;ll be gone from <br />CA.<br /><br />It&#39;s midnight...so I&#39;m off to bed.  Sorry to have been so remiss in getting back here with all my friends.

The weird part about this is that since January I have been exercising for about 1 hour each day (didn&#39;t miss one) and was eating real healthy - lost almost 30 pounds.  Oh well as the cardiologist said and he was joking - no good deed goes unpunished LOL -- but I think that because of my three months of healthy stuff I am at a good place to begin my rehab.

The stent is collapsed to a small diameter and put over a balloon catheter. It&#39;s then moved into the area of the blockage. When the balloon is inflated, the stent expands, locks in place and forms a scaffold. This holds the artery open. The stent stays in the artery permanently, holds it open, improves blood flow to the heart muscle and relieves symptoms (usually chest pain). Within a few weeks of the time the stent was placed, the inside lining of the artery (the endothelium) grows over the metal surface of the stent.<br /><br />When are stents used?<br />Stents are used depending on certain features of the artery blockage. This includes the size of the artery and where the blockage is. Stenting is a fairly common procedure; in fact, over 70 percent of coronary angioplasty procedures also include stenting.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />Now i know...<br /><br />well it is going to be a busy one so I better get going... make it your day..

Well, today is the HOA&#39;s neighborhood garage sale.  I never go to them because I have enough crap of my own I need to get rid of without hauling someone else&#39;s stuff home, but Scotty spotted a couple of them on our street that he thought we had to check out.  One house had one of those kids train sets that come&#39;s with a table which has drawers for the &quot;accessories&quot;.  The train tracks and stuff was in boxes and the guy said it came with 2 sets of tracks.  He wanted &#036;40 firm for everything and so we loaded it up into the car and brought it home, only to discover that it didn&#39;t come with any trains.  So off we went to ToysR Us for trains, so my &#036;40 bargain ended up costing me &#036;80.  We also went by WalMart and got flowers for the front flower beds and the munchkin and I are going to plant them this evening - if I can tear him away from the trains for long enough.   Have talked to Greg a few times - we thought that he might not have phone reception out at the sand dunes, but he does so once he climbed into &quot;bed&quot; last night, he called and we talked for a bit and he called while we were at WalMart and they were taking a break from riding.  He said he thought he would probably pack up early tomorrow and head home.  The other&#39;s are riding tomorrow and leaving in the afternoon and I told him he may as well stay since he is already there, but since he was away on business during the week and left the day after getting home, he said he wanted to spend some time with me and just relax before heading back to work on Monday.  Hopefully, our son will have come and picked up Scotty by then because there is no relaxing with that little whirlwind around.  Next weekend will be a holiday weekend so a bit longer than normal for some of you.  Greg will have a 4 1/2 day weekend as he has to take me to the lasik surgeon Thursday afternoon to have my eyes dilated for the final mapping and then he has to take me Friday for the surgery and back Saturday morning for a check up.  Too bad it isn&#39;t closer to home, will take about an hr. each way, each time.  And to second Tonia&#39;s question, how is Tony doing, Jackie?  Is he still havng quite a bit of mouth pain?

We got Lynda&#39;s flowers for the yard, started up the fountain, always a fun job, put the new top on my Jeep Wrangler, another fun job, and bought a new bar height patio table, four chairs and umberalla.  Also had a friend with a fence company come by Saturday and put the &quot;V&quot; in our fence to go around the tree.  Next, he is designing a deck for us.  We have a concrete patio now but it&#39;s time for a change.<br />Now for Sunday.  Oldest son brought the new table and chairs by at 8:30AM.  We put them together and gave our old table and chairs to him.  Went to church, did communion for the shut-ins, cut the grass and weedeated, replaced several picketts in our fence and then stained the new picketts and the new section, grilled beef kabobs, made and consumed martinis, walked the dog, took a shower, set down at the computer to check in on the Crazies and immediatley went to sleep&#33;  Must be getting old.<br />Can&#39;t wait till next weekend.  3 days and will be working on our fandation drainage.

We were having a beautifully quiet day yesterday til around 4PM when all heck broke loose.   TJ was running in the upstairs hall at home and ran into the gate at the top of the stairs.   Generally the gate opens inwards but when he hit it it pushed forwards and pulled right out of the wall and TJ went flying down the flight of stairs.   They took him to the ER since he was limping badly and they said he either has a pulled or torn ligament in his knee - they aren&#39;t sure which.   It&#39;s all taped up right now but if he is still limping in 3 days he needs to go to an Orthopedist.    That poor little guy just can&#39;t catch a break.    Deb &amp; Mike waited for over 4 hours in the ER before they even saw him so it was a long evening for everyone involved.  I called him already this AM and he is still limping, but quite proud of the big ace bandage and told me he <br />&quot;did a somersault on the steps&quot;<br /><br />On a brighter note, we had rain most of the day yesterday and when I was putting Ashleigh to bed I went to close the drapes and saw not 1 or 2 but 3 gorgeous rainbows in the sky - one brighter then the one over it.   I had never seen anything like that before and of course could not find Deb&#39;s camera.    By the time Jim got home to get our camera it was all over but it was a sight, believe me.    <br /><br />What does everyone have planned for this week.   It&#39;s a work week here for Jim so I get to do all the little things that don&#39;t get done during the week he is off.   Last week we went to the Automobile Club and was amazed at the quote they gave us for all our insurance needs (auto and homeowners).   They upped our coverage on everything and still saved us over &#036;500 per year so they are coming tomorrow to take pictures of our home and car for the new policies so today is my day to run.   Then I need to call our Agent and cancel our policies with him as of June 1st.   He&#39;s really a nice guy and has been very good to us but &#036;500 is too big a chunk of change to have us stay with him.   <br /><br />Today my brother &amp; sister-in-law leave for Hawaii where my niece will be getting married next Monday.   Now that the time is here I&#39;m feeling a bit sad that we won&#39;t get to see her get married but this is what Laura wanted and I&#39;m sure they will have lots and lots of pics when they get home for the reception on the 30th &amp; 31st.    <br /><br />Rose - keeping Howie is our thoughts and prayers that all goes well today.   Keep us posted when you can.<br /><br />Guess I have  rambled on long enough - time to get my started and do some errands.<br /><br />Make today special - I&#39;ll be back later on.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-05-19 14:12:50',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(288041,920,1,18,284682,'2008-05-19 14:50:59',NULL,'','Good Morning,<br /><br />MaryLou:  Sorry to hear about TJ.

Most of the die-hard fans will go to San Anita, etc. (Greyhound racing has been a steadier income.)<br /><br />Sorry to hear about all of the illness and aches and pains.  From what I&#39;ve heard, tendonitis can take up to 6 months before you even realize that you&#39;re no longer in pain.  A friend of mine has had 2 cortisone injections (6 months a part) and she did not notice any weight gain.

Michael Bolton was fantastic&#33;  I think he was surprised at how popular he was in this small town of Hinckley, Minnesota.  Hinckley casino has a new showroom that is huge, and the show was sold out.  A large majority of the people drove up from the Twin Cities and stayed overnight like we did.  I&#39;m so glad I got to see him...he was just great&#33;  Didn&#39;t win any money but I had a lot of playback, so it was fun.  Hubby broke even, so he was doin&#39; OK.  We had a great dinner after the show, so that made up for not going out for our anniversary.  It was a fun, and kind of weird night too..lol..I got propositioned twice...once by a young man young enough to be my son...he was a bit tipsy...lol...and then I was offered a ring by a man in the gift shop.  He was looking at the rings and asked if he could buy me one.  lol  Guess I&#39;m not doing too bad for an old lady of 60.  lol  I did make sure the young boy had a ride home...I was worried about him.  If his momma knew how pickled he was she would be sooo worried.  Anyway...it was fun to get away for part of the weekend.<br /><br />Mary Lou...that is so scary about the gate coming unhinged.  I have always worried about my daughter&#39;s stairs, and the girls.  She has a gate like that.  I&#39;m so glad that TJ wasn&#39;t hurt worse and hope he will be OK.  <br /><br />Sue...sorry I missed your birthday.  Happy Birthday to you&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...tendonitis...ouch&#33;  Hope you heal real soon&#33;<br /><br />Hope everyone is doing great...I&#39;ll never catch up on all the reading, but hope to be on more often, soon.<br /><br />Steve...sorry I can&#39;t help with the moving of the dirt...bad shoulder you know...going for physical therapy tomorrow... <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> <br /><br />Have a great day, everyone&#33;&#33;&#33;  Life is good&#33;<br />','Shari2','Shari2','2008-05-21 11:49:54',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(288479,488,1,18,284682,'2008-05-21 13:20:24',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#808000--><span style=\"color:#808000\"><!--/coloro--><u>WEDNESDAY - MAY 21st</u><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good morning Crazies - and it rained and rained and rained.    Still more rain forecast for today.   I&#39;m running out of things to do indoors.    I made out fine yesterday with the door people.   I was expecting a fight from them - Home Depot already offered us 10% off the cost of the door and we refused - but had no problems at all.    They ordered me a new door, didn&#39;t even discuss fixing the one I had.   I should have it in about 2 weeks.  <br /><br />Thanks for all your good wishes for TJ.   He is doing much better and it now looks like it was only a pulled muscle and not torn.   He is not limping nearly as much and he even wants to take the bandage off so I guess this latest crisis for him is over.   <br /><br />Steve - you are just so good to us to offer to let us help you this weekend.   I really wish we could but since it&#39;s too early to think of a good excuse I&#39;ll just say we won&#39;t be able to make it.   lol    Have fun&#33;<br /><br />Shari - glad you had such a nice time at the Casino and seeing Michael Boulton.

It is  blocked off from the L.R. it is not open to the L.R.   (I thought I wanted it that way, I was wrong) Hubby always said he would remodel, take the wall out, build an island to separate the kitchen from the L.R.and make it so it  a bar/ breakfast serving area thingie also, redo the mud-room, maybe even move the back door, new floor etc...etc...<br /><br />Well when we went on our cruise one of the they things Jerry did to secure the house was to turn the water off to the ice maker, when we get back, ice maker no longer makes ice&#33;&#33;  It was going to cost over &#036;100 just for the part to fix the #*@X  thing, so since Jan. I&#39;ve been without a ice maker<br /><br />OK, now to the rest of the story,  Hubby says he is just going to buy a new refrig. He is tried of buying bags of ice and making ice.  I tell him we can buy a lot of ice for the price of a new refrig. but what do I know??    So 1 day a couple of weeks ago he pulls up in the yard  with this HUGE side-by-side refrig.<br />and I mean huge...<br /><br />Wanna guess how big???   Too big to go into the hole the old refrig is in, to big to even get into  the kitchen without tearing out our BUILT-IN breakfast booth, you get the picture.  Well he says he figured that would be the case but it was a good buy and get this, &quot;I am tired of buying ice&#33;&quot;   <br /><br />So like every good Arkie for the last couple of weeks I have had a refrig plugged up and going on my FRONT PORCH&#33;  But on the bright side, I have been able to stock up on some bargains at the store  with all the extra space.   <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 />OK, Getting him motivated part was this,  I tell him if you are going to have to do something just to get it into the house lets just finally remodel some,  and with the long weekend coming up this would be the perfect opportunity - if you took Friday off too.  So that&#39;s the plan.   <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/rolleyes.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":rolleyes2:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"rolleyes.gif\" /> <br /><br />he is going to take some space out of the laundry/mud room to put the refrig adding that space to the kitchen, tear out the dividing wall, build the island/bar/breakfast thingie to replace the breakfast booth that has to go.  New floor and it time permits sand down and repaint the cabinet doors (I never like them either  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":laugh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"laugh.gif\" /> )   He told me if I wanted to cabinet doors redone I was on my own&#33;  <br /><br />I might have missed some things - this is going on a bit...  with Jerry no project actually has a starting and stopping place.  Just like our house. There is other things he wants to change and he will eventually change them.  <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','2008-05-21 16:21:30',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(288540,5024,1,18,284682,'2008-05-21 16:43:32',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=288522:date=May 21 2008, 08&#58;02 AM:name=JoeyandDavid)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (JoeyandDavid &#064; May 21 2008, 08&#58;02 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=288522\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Now back to today...Steve I would help you with the dirt... but ahh ahh ahh i know there is something on my calender... ahh ahhh .. wish I could help&#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\" /> sorry.....<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br /><br />Steve, Unlike Joey I ACTUALLY have something on the calender&#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 />Shari - glad you had fun, <br /><br />Cheryl - hoping for the best for you today also, I have always been too much of a chicken to have that done to my eyes, let me know how it turns out please   <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 />Mary Lou - So glad the little guy is doing better, it is amazing sometimes how little ones seem to be just made out of rubber<br /><br />HI Joey - sounds like you and David are going to have a great trip.

Winds still strong today, so will wait until tomorrow before I dive for the chair.<br /><br />Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend everyone.<br /><br />','The Skipper','The Skipper','2008-05-22 03:29:33',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(288665,3858,1,18,284682,'2008-05-22 03:33:20',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=288660:date=May 21 2008, 08&#58;27 PM:name=zebra)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (zebra &#064; May 21 2008, 08&#58;27 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=288660\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Deb, enjoy the camping ...... rest those feet&#33;&#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />Thanks, Jackie I will.

We have no real plans for the weekend - guess I&#39;d better get moving the plan something.   We can&#39;t let a nice weekend go to waste.   <br /><br />Deb - have a great trip - rest up and let DH and DS take care of you for a change.    <br /><br />Marcy - glad your computer is back up and running OK.   Isn&#39;t it amazing how much we come to rely on these electronics and how much we take them for granted.    Glad to had you back with us.<br /><br />Cheryl - how is that elbow doing today?    Hope all goes well with the final mapping for your lasik.<br /><br />Tonia - sorry about the tooth.   Hope you are feeling better today.   <br /><br />Sue - I think you and your friends should look into going on our group cruise with us.<br /><br />Ed - Diving for patio furniture is different.   That must have been some winds you had.   They are calling for very strong winds here today - maybe I better go tie my things down.<br /><br />Steve - Don&#39;t overdo it with the dirt.    Glad your son is going to give you a hand.<br /><br />Joey - how is David doing with the new job?   I hope he is happy with the change he made.<br /><br />Rose - almost time for you to bring out the luggage again.    How is your Dad doing?  <br /><br />Andrea - good luck with the kitchen project.   I would never let Jim attempt something like that - he loves to start projects but never finishes them.   I&#39;d be using the gas grill in a blizzard if he tore out my kitchen in the summer.<br /><br />Jackie - glad Tony is slowly working his way up to the steak and is feeling better.<br /><br />Time to get Jim moving - as the week goes on he is later and later getting up.   I&#39;ll be around most of the day today.   <br /><br />Make today special and considering the weather here in Pa.  let a smile be your umbrella.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-05-22 13:19:02',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(288752,3913,1,18,284682,'2008-05-22 15:23:16',NULL,'','Good morning Crazies&#33;<br /><br />Just a quick note.

I really like the change to the home page.<br /><br />Well, spent the entire day at the hospital yesterday with the surgery.  Was suppose to happen at noon than we were told 3:15 and than 2:30.  I think by the time they did get started it was 3:30.  Everything went as expected.  The heart had more damage to it than they thought but all went well.  Only time will tell if it helped and hopefully it will not cause a stroke.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />Steve - Tell your father happy birthday for me.  Sorry I can&#39;t come help with the dirt either.  With gas being at &#036;3.99 a gallon here I think I can find my own dirt to play in.  Good luck with it.<br /><br />Cheryl - Good luck tomorrow.  <br /><br />Debbie - Hope the camping trip goes well.

Anyhow I left Tony, the repairman and the RV at the Park to get on with whatever needs to be done and came back home with Gucci, yes we took her on the drive too&#33;  So I&#39;m just sitting here at home waiting for Tony to call for me to come pick him up... hope it gets fixed today and is not going to cost a fortune.  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":blink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blink.gif\" /> <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":blink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blink.gif\" />','zebra','zebra','2008-05-23 23:40:28',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(289236,2066,1,18,284682,'2008-05-23 23:44:11',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=289235:date=May 23 2008, 01&#58;40 PM:name=zebra)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (zebra &#064; May 23 2008, 01&#58;40 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=289235\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->hope it gets fixed today and is not going to cost a fortune.  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":blink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blink.gif\" />  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":blink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blink.gif\" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Jackie...I am sorry to hear of more RV headaches.. i hope it&#39;s minor.','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2008-05-23 23:44:11',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(289244,1421,1,18,284682,'2008-05-24 00:01:02',NULL,'','Jackie, sorry to hear about your RV.

Last year we had an excuse because TJ was afraid of the rides but has become a little daredevil over the past year so I imagine he will want to be right there with his sister this year.   We definately need to go and get some funnel cakes though.   So very  bad for you but soooo yummy.<br /><br />Ed - good luck with the neighborhood garage sale.

I guess the summer season has officially started.  I spent most of the day in the kitchen yesterday making salads.    For the rest of the weekend (and most of the week ) we have potato salad, pasta salad, etc. all ready.  I never make salads til summer and after yesterday I know why.   What a lot of work - but there is no comparison between homemade and the stuff they sell pre-made.   <br />Had  a nice BBQ with Deb and her family yesterday.  There is nothing like a hotdog burned to a crisp on a grill to start the summer season. Today we are going to dinner with some people from Jim&#39;s American Legion post and I think tomorrow Jim &amp; Mike will try and get in a golf game.   I hope so - Jim doesn&#39;t get to play that often any more.  <br /><br />Cheryl - hope you are doing great this morning.    I remember Dave remarking about looking at the clock in the middle of the night for the first time after his surgery.<br /><br />Jenn - netting on the gangway?    We need pics of this project.   Hope you find that honey-do list.   We can&#39;t let our DH&#39;s get too used to free time.   We only do it for their own good - they tend to get into so much trouble with idle time on their hands.   <br /><br />Andrea - how is the project coming along?    Hope there have been no more mishaps.<br /><br />Joey - double digits -- YEAH --  I&#39;m sure you are having a great time researching Alaska and deciding what to do in each port.<br /><br />Tonia - Hope your weekend isn&#39;t too busy but I&#39;m sure it is.   Holiday traffic always seems to bring out the worst in people which is why we never travel over holiday weekends.<br /><br />Karla - hope the news on your FIL is better and he had a restful night.<br /><br />Jackie - have a great visit with your SIL.   I&#39;m sure you have lots of catching up to do.<br /><br />Time to get a move on and start my day.

Maybe finally Jessie &amp; Angie can be happy&#33;<br /><br />Sue I hope you enjoy your sisters.<br /><br />Marylou  I love the salads can you send me some?? No one here eats them so I rarely get that treat. Hope you and Jim get to go play golf tomorrow.<br /><br />Joey the next 97 days will fly by.<br /><br />Well off to the closet cleaning and then maybe a little reading.

Now that teds to make mud out of dirt and we weren&#39;t disappointed.  Most of the dirt was covered with a tarp so it wasn&#39;t a total disater.

You sure that&#39;s Las Vegas?  We did something new at church this year.  Everyone that was in the service sent in a picture of themselves from their service time.

I had recorded Friday&#39;s episode as I do everyday, but as I had my lasik on Friday and couldn&#39;t see, I didn&#39;t watch it that night.  Last night, I could see up close but my distance vision was still distorted so I didn&#39;t watch it then either.  A bit earlier, I decided to watch it as Greg was outside piddling.  He thinks that soap operas are nothing more than &quot;who is sleeping with who&quot;.  Anyway, he came in part way thru it, and I started to turn it off and he said for me to go ahead and finish watching it.  He picked up his laptop and got online and wasn&#39;t really paying attention to the tv.  When the part came on where Robert took Angie into the ballroom and the shooting started, I noticed he was watching.  Then there was the mad dash to the roof and all the gunfire there and then Robert taking over the helicopter and lifting off and then Jesse flying thru the air as he lept off the building to try and grab the helicopter.  He was totally engrossed in it by this time.  I knew it was going to end with Jesse hanging in mid air&#33;&#33;&#33;  I can&#39;t wait until tomorrow to see what happens, but I do agree that Julia will die and then Adam will do the right thing and let it be known that she is not an orphan again.  I never read anything about if Jesse had signed a long term contract or if this is just a short appearance.  I hope he is in it for the long haul and he survives and rescues Angie and Robert gets killed.  I have always said that my husband doesn&#39;t enjoy a show or movie unless there is gunfire or something gets blown up - I wonder if he thinks that all soaps are like that now&#33;&#33;&#33;','Gregswife','Gregswife','2008-05-26 06:21:40',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(289591,274,1,18,284682,'2008-05-26 06:42:48',NULL,'','Cheryl...that is too funny&#33;  Marc is the same way...he always says he doesn&#39;t know how I can watch those soap operas... he loves action and shoot-em-ups, but once in awhile when I&#39;m watching my taped soaps he&#39;ll be really interested, but of course he can&#39;t let me know that.

Once in awhile someone wants to throw a ton of money at me for a seminar and if it is somewhere I really want to go, I&#39;ll accept.  Other than that I&#39;m retired.  Roe retired from Pulte Homes about six years ago.  Several years ago, Roe was diagnosed with a very rare type of skin cancer at the Mayo Clinic.  Her mortality was something I had never considered, I&#39;m several years older.  That hit me like a ton of bricks&#33;&#33;  Two weeks later my accountant said to me, &quot;You know you don&#39;t have to do this anymore if you don&#39;t want to.&quot;  Within 30 days I had sold out my business to my partner and pulled out a consulting and training company I had started and began to consult when and where I choose.<br /><br />Those two events made me realize that there are far more important things in life than working and chasing the buck.  I decided I was going to spend every moment I could with the woman I love&#33;&#33;  And, that&#39;s what I&#39;ve been doing.  I thank God everyday for giving me my soul mate.  Sorry for the long story, but we are enjoying each other and what we love to do while we can.<br /><br />We are not kids.  I&#39;ll be 74 this year and she is 69.  Neither of us have lost any mobility and other than the normal aches and pains are in pretty good shape.  BTW, Roe and I may be coming to California before too long.  Her Dr. wants her to get electron beam radiation at Stanford to try and put this cancer into remission once and for all.  They have been controlling it quite well for about 16 years already with UV treatments here locally.<br /><br />She is probably the only 69 year old who floats on a raft in the swimming pool in a string bikini under Doctor&#39;s orders&#33;&#33; That&#39;s really the only reason I put in the pool.  I&#39;m blond and blue eyed and have had three basil cell cancers removed over the years and I try and stay out of the sun.  I go out for a swim and then get out of the sun ASAP, she on the other hand floats for hours.<br /><br />Steve:  Love the uniform picture thing.  I still have my BDU&#39;s from the time I spent with the Green Berets and they still fit&#33;&#33;  Also have my jump boots and airborne helmet just in case they call me back&#33;&#33;  Watched the National Memorial Day Celebration from DC this evening and have to admit I had tears running down my cheeks at the end.  Too many memories of too many good men who died too young.<br /><br />Almost Midnight here in LV and I still have to walk the dog, so I&#39;d better sign off.<br /><br />','The Skipper','The Skipper','2008-05-26 09:47:06',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(289620,488,1,18,284682,'2008-05-26 12:51:01',NULL,'','<u><!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style=\"color:#FF0000\"><!--/coloro-->MONDAY<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> - <!--coloro:#0000FF--><span style=\"color:#0000FF\"><!--/coloro-->MAY 26th  <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></u><br /><br />Good morning and Happy Memorial Day.

Dan &amp; Laura will be married later  today in what I am sure will be a gorgeous ceremony performed by Laura&#39;s Uncle in his church in Oahu, Hawaii.

Although we had been on one cruise previously it took our very best friend to get us cruising on a regular basis.   Three months after our friend Nick turned 50 he suffered a fatal heart attack walking thru a blizzard to get to the train station because the precious stock market would never be able to open without him sitting at his desk (in his opinion of course)   Talk about reality slapping you in the face. Two days after his funeral Jim went off on his own and came home with cruise tickets and the promise of many more to come.    I hope you and Roe have many many more happy cruises in your future and this new treatment will be the answer for her.<br /><br />Cheryl - how wonderful that your vision has cleared so quickly.    I&#39;m so happy you got the desired results and it all worked out for you.<br /><br />Jackie - Was Tony able to eat that steak?   I&#39;m sure he enjoyed it.   <br /><br />Jim &amp; Michael are heading to the golf course by 7AM so I&#39;d better get him up and moving. (Bet he will get moving a lot fast to go golfing than he does to go to work.   lol)   They will be home in time for us to BBQ with their neighbors and Mike&#39;s sister so it will be a busy day for us although it is supposed to be a gorgeous day today with temps reaching into the 80&#39;s.

It was our warmest day yesterday...around 80, and very humid. We had a couple of tornado touchdowns close by. One was only around 10 miles from us and the second (around 30 miles) destroyed around 50 homes or so, and a little child of 2-years-old lost his life. Many injuries, too. So very sad. <br /><br />It was kind of surreal since we were having our BBQ and it was sunny here at our home and the skies all around us were dark and threatening. They sounded our siren twice but we never had to go to the basement since we were keeping track by the skies and the TV of where the threat was. It was very close, but it stayed sunny in just our little area. Very surreal. My heart goes out to the people who lost their child, and the injured, and who lost pets and their property. We definitley do need to be thankful for what we have, and live our lives to the fullest.  Love one another, and help out when we can.<br /><br />Ed...my prayers are with Roe and you, and I hope they can get this cancer into remission.

Even with gas prices, it is still cheaper and far less hassle to drive to the port.<br /><br />Rose:  Europe is very expensive right now.

The only thing I have to be careful of is that you Marines rolled the sleeves differently than the grunts.<br /><br />Jenn, you said the magic words. Passport photos.

It was back to the real world (work) for hubby today.  He has been off since noon last Thursday and really wasn&#39;t looking forward to going back to the office.  Personally, I am kinda&#39; enjoying having the house to myself.  We planned to cook ribeye steaks for dinner last night - about the time Greg decided to fire up the grill, a torrential downpour started.  He got out the portable grill that we used in the RV and opened one of the garage door and set it half inside and half out.  The eaves shielded him some and he cooked them that way, instead of using the big gas grill on the deck.  It is a bit cool today - in the 40&#39;s right now and still looks gloomy.  I need to go to the grocery store, but don&#39;t feel like braving the weather right now.  Sounds like everyone had a good holiday weekend.  I knew yesterday was the unofficial start of our summer as the doors and top came off of Greg&#39;s jeep.  We leave in 3 weeks to take Scotty to Disney.

This is taking an unbelievable amount of planning, packing etc. I think I mentioned once before about being offered a position on the California Coast (in Wine Country).  It&#39;s a Bed &amp; Breakfast Inn and the owner would like Tony and I to be the Innkeepers for her.  Anyhow this is an Inn that she owned many years ago and them sold in 2001, financing the new owner.  Well he has defaulted and is closing the Inn this week.  So this is all going through the courts right now with a date set at 6/12 for the final hearing.  If no other offers (&#036;4.5m) are put on the table by 6/12 then the Inn goes back to the previous owner, our friend Elaine.  she will then reopen the Inn the next day and get it back running like she had it before.... one of the most popular luxury Inns on the California Coast.  Whew... it&#39;s been awful being in limbo, and we still have 2 weeks before we&#39;ll know for sure.  But here&#39;s the kicker.... she would like us to be their on 6/13 or close to that date... to start.  This means a step of faith, and Tony resigning from his job here and then us closing up our townhome and taking off and leaving in our RV for a 3,600 mile trip to Mendocino.  So actually we will have to leave next week.  Oh my goodness - all of this and the dilemma of not knowing if someone else will come up with the money and snatch up the Inn... although Elaine really thinks that the chances of this happening are slim to none, given the current real estate climate.<br />So folks, this is what is happening in our lives right now.  We have so many things to do before we can leave.... and I really would appreciate your prayers that this all happens for us.','zebra','zebra','2008-05-28 02:30:16',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(289871,2066,1,18,284682,'2008-05-28 02:39:31',NULL,'','Jackie and Tony...

We had a quick rain storm pass through last night that dropped the temperature by 40 degrees in less than an hour so it is cool and quite pleasant today.    This morning we begin our battle with Home Depot.  I spoke too quickly about the door company which was going to replace our damaged back door.   I received a call yesterday from the door manufacturer that they determined the dents and scratches were the fault of HD and were therefore not going to replace the door as the adjuster had promised.   (No wonder he was so nice and agreeable when he came to look at the door)  A call to HD got us nowhere yesterday so today we go in person to do battle.<br /><br />Welcome back Deb - glad you had a good camping weekend and the storm held off til it was almost over.<br /><br />Maria - hope your arm is better today.

It should warm up for the weekend.  I&#39;m still going for therapy on my neck and shoulder three days a week.  Tomorrow is Izzy&#39;s first birthday, also our oldest daughter&#39;s (Marc&#39;s).  Laurie is having a little birthday party for Izzy, so that should be fun.  <br />Marc&#39;s nephew&#39;s 13-year-old son had a terrible sports accident and had brain surgery and is recouperating.  He is having to learn things all over again.  Also his SIL, who is grandma to Marc&#39;s great nephew is battling breast cancer so it&#39;s sad to see them going through so much.  Please keep them in your prayers.  <br /><br />Cheryl...great news that you are healing so well&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl, Rose, Karla, and AMC friends...that was sooo sad about Julia...couldn&#39;t help the tears.

I will keep you in my prayers.<br /><br />Debbie...glad you didn&#39;t blow away at the campsite.  That sounds kind of scary.  Never slept in a tent before, but did have a tent trailer with the hard sides at one time.  Glad you still had a nice time.

Haven&#39;t been around much. Just peeking  in for a few minutes to try to keep up with everyones posting. Lots going on. Safe travels Rose. Enjoy your cruise&#33; Jackie and Tony- wow&#33; What an adventure you have ahead of you. Hope you get  the good news soon. You guys will make wonderful inn keepers. We have our fingers crossed for you.  <br /><br />Hope everyone is having a good weekend&#33; Those of you who are having all the storms- be safe. We went to see Sex in the City Movie last night. Loved it. But we are big fans of the ladies so I wasn&#39;t surprised that I enjoyed it.  We played our first round of golf on Thursday. A little rusty but you always end up with a really good hole and that is what calls you back. Love being outside enjoying the pretty setting as much as the golf game.  Today we are babysitting for Jacob overnight. Its nap time now. We are taking him to Chuck E Cheese tonight. Should be fun and exhausting too&#33; <br /><br />We have decided to keep the RV for one more season. Started cleaning it up and so many memories came back to me- I am not ready to let it go yet. It needs to have some work done on it for sale anyways..so we are going to get that done and then enjoy it for a couple of long weekends. Hope to take the oldest grandson out one time. In the spring, we will see how I am feeling about keeping it or letting it go.  <br /><br />Well, I better go- needto get a few chores done while the munchkin is sleeping... take care everyone.<br /><br />Gail<br /><br />','Love2Travel','Love2Travel','2008-05-31 20:14:03',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0);
