Lots of sunshine and in the 60&#39;s again - perfect outdoor improvement weather :o)<br />And the robins were out in full force - it&#39;s really nice to hear all those bird calls again and to see several different families out at the feeders.  Haven&#39;t seen the squirrels for a while or the bunnies but they should all be out and about soon.<br /><br />Got two &quot;obnoxious&quot; trees down in the front yard - all chopped up and out for recycle.  Also chopped down our 20 year old rhodo - that had seen better days - making room for the new fountain.  Moved the butterfly bush as well so that just leave one more tom ove and three more for the &quot;choppers&quot; :o)<br /><br />Reading the &quot;turning 21&quot; posts reminded me of how I got royally ripped off on my 21st.

Our snow didn&#39;t amount to anything yesterday, but boy did it rain.   Lots of flooding and now most of the snow is gone.  Seems our chirping birds and hopping bunnies were just a tease as another blast of bitter cold and more snow is heading our way.   <br /><br />Tonight we head back to the State Theatre to see the Beach Boys in concert.    I hope the weather doesn&#39;t interfere.   I know there is only one original member of the group but as long as they sing Kokomo, my all time favorite put me in the mood to cruise song, I&#39;ll be a happy lady.  <br /><br />Jackie - What will you and Tony be doing in Alaska next summer?    If I&#39;m not mistaken, we are looking into the Oct - Dec time frame for a group cruise so hopefully you will be back in plenty of time.  We&#39;ll know more once the 2009 schedules come out and we can put it out for a vote.   <br /><br />Ray - Great picture of Crazie - so glad you had a good time and managed to avoid the virus on board.   I&#39;ll be looking forward to reading your review.   Thanks for shippping Crazie off so fast.

Since the company van he now has doesn&#39;t fit into his side of the garage I&#39;m sure it will take a bit of defrosting this morning before he heads out on his merry way.  <br /><br />Make today special and smile - spring is just around the corner (I hope, I hope, I hope.) <br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-02-27 12:45:11',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(274291,3642,1,18,269437,'2008-02-27 18:13:53',NULL,'','good morning everyone <br />it was sunny BUT  windy ack when i took Pappy out  i was up almost 5am because of insomnia hit me  and did went to sleep didn&#39;t get up unitl almost 11:00<br />i am continuing reading my book right now <br /><br />have nice day everyone<br /><br />','lovelypinky','lovelypinky','2008-02-27 18:13:53',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(274292,754,1,18,269437,'2008-02-27 18:17:23',NULL,'','Good Morning all...<br /><br />A nice sunny day here after a day of snow yesterday...........We did get the snow Keith but thank goodness no ice..........Now the kids are praying for no snow as they have used up their 5 &quot;calamity days&quot; and if there are any more snowstorms they will have to go to Saturday school or add school days to the end of the year. <br /><br />Joey ..............will look forward to what you come up with as we have nothing planned for 2009 either.

Hubby retired from the Navy after 20 years a few years back.  I&#39;m actually an Army vet.  Our oldest, Jeromy, is 20 (will be 21 in June) and a Junior at University of North Texas not far from here - but far enough for him. Made his parents proud by finally making the Dean&#39;s list last semester.   Nathan is 17 and a Junior in High School.  He is my &quot;special&quot; guy.  He has PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) which is very simular to Autism (hence my post about the Autism video).  Hubby works for an aerospace company. I&#39;ve worked the last 9 years for a major pharmaceutical company that is focuses mainly on eye care products.  I am a Senior Package Engineering Technican - which basically means I help in the design and testing of packaging components - everything from the bottle that holds the product to the shipper it is shipped to the store in.  <br /><br />Today - well I can say it was better then yesterday.  If I had posted yesterday I would have talked about how I really wanted to go home about 9 in the morning (the day started out badly).  I would have also talked about how maybe I should have since I managed to lose my credit card - think I left it on my lunch tray at the cafe - probably went into the trash.  Had to cancel it and order a new one.  Now that wouldn&#39;t be so bad but it was the third time I have &quot;misplaced&quot; it since Thanksgiving.  The 2 other times I &quot;found&quot; it - this time, no since luck.  Oh well.<br /><br />Today was much better.  I&#39;m in the middle of a major prohect that has been very frustrating because I&#39;m working with an engineer that thinks he knows &quot;EVERYTHING&quot; and although I give him feedback he is not &quot;listening&quot; to what I&#39;m telling you.  Going back to yesterday I had to go over his head - so he wasn&#39;t happy when he arrived this morning - but now it&#39;s all out in the open and he can decide to work with me or against me - if it&#39;s against me I guess I&#39;ll have to move up that ladder again.  Oh well - you have to do what is best for the company and not worry about egos.<br /><br />As far as home everythingis going good.  Nathan has a Special Olympic competition on Saturday. His brother will be coming down to watch.  Nate is so excited - and OH - he got his letter jacket yesterday.  Nate is a trainer for the football team and the coaches bought him a letter jacket.  He was so proud as he showed it off.  <br /><br />I guess this means I have to check in tommorrow.

Not too shabby.  <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 />Our Siamese cat had a tooth pulled yesterday and they gave us a liquid pain killer for him,  Yea, right like we have a fat chance of catching him and holding him down while we get it into him.  I think I&#39;ll invent a blowgun that shoots medicated darts, that might work.  <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 />We broke in to the 70&#39;s today and are going to remain there for the rest of the week.  Went to the nursery today and bought some plants for the gardener to put in on saturday when he does his spring yard cleanup and trims all the palm trees.  Darn they are getting big&#33;  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/unsure.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":unsure:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"unsure.gif\" /> <br /><br />Ray, love the pics of Crazie.  I&#39;ve been reading some less than good reviews of the Ryndam so I&#39;m really looking forward to reading your impressions.<br /><br />Jenn: Loved the fab four picture.  We almost looked sober, actually we were sober, but no one is going to buy that.<br /><br />Well time to take the dog for his walk and turn in.<br /><br />','The Skipper','The Skipper','2008-02-28 08:20:55',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(274423,488,1,18,269437,'2008-02-28 12:44:57',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#003300--><span style=\"color:#003300\"><!--/coloro-->THURSDAY - February 28th<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br />Good morning Crazies - Well we had fun, fun, fun til Daddy took our T-Bird away last night.   What a great concert - 2 hours of straight Beach Boys which left us yelling for more.   They really put on a terrific show which had us Senior citizen former teenie boppers dancing in the aisles.   There were beach ball being thrown all around and just a good old fashioned fun night.   I am hoarse this morning from yelling and singing along.   A definate change from the 10 Tenors last week.  Of course they did Kokomo as their encore which was a good thing because I wasn&#39;t leaving til they did.   lol<br /><br />Ed - good luck medicating the cat.    I wish we could go and buy plants but even if we did the ground is still so frozen we would never get them planted.  Oh well, our day will come (soon I hope)<br /><br />Jackie - sending ((((hugs)))) your way.

As you can see, this is where we talk about everything and anything.   Thanks for telling us a bit about yourself.   Good luck to Nathan this weekend.    I hope you will stop by the Dock and join in the everyday chit-chat.   <br /><br />Steve - glad your sister got there.   I&#39;m sure you had lots of catching up to do.   It&#39;s nice that she can come and give you a chance to get away.    <br /><br />Rose - are you and Cynthia packed yet?    I hope you both have a great time together.<br /><br />Jenn - I wish I could remember when I was 21.   I seem to be suffering from CRS (Can&#39;t remember s#@*)<br />I do seem to remember though that back in the olden days 18 was the big birthday when you were considered &quot;legal&quot;.  I do know that at 18 you could cruise with your friends and didn&#39;t need Mommy &amp; Daddy along though.<br /><br />Ray - thanks for the great pictures.   I&#39;m so glad you had a good cruise and you and your family managed to escape the virus going around.   <br /><br />Time to get a move on -- bought a new coffee maker yesterday and don&#39;t hear any coffee sounds coming from the kitchen.   I probably programmed it wrong as usual - <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.     I&#39;ll be back on and off during the day - way too cold to go out anywhere but relief is supposedly on the way.   <br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-02-28 12:44:57',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(274426,2542,1,18,269437,'2008-02-28 14:45:01',NULL,'','A big welcome to our NEW Cheryl&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Thanks everyone for all those hugs.....

Ken finished two cutting boards and they are really nice. I am sure once the kids see them they will want one. Anything Dad makes is a keeper for them. Once when all the kids were little (my kids, nieces and nephews) Ken made all coat racks for their rooms and painted them all diffferent primary colors and depending on the kid they got a special top whatever their favortie things were. Like my son was into matchbox cars so he got a wooden cutout of a car..........my niece got a barbie cutout and so on and so forth.........Then he made all the girls cribs and high chairs for their dolls and they still have them and are saving them for their kids. We also have the family cradle that Ken made and is passed around when someone has a new baby and that person is responsible for putting little gold plates on the headboard part with the babies name and birthdate. It is a treasure but hasn&#39;t been used in 11 years since my last grandson.

It is supposed to be 60 degrees today, the same tomorrow and close to 70 on Saturday before we get dumped on with snow again on Sunday.  As much as I love the warmer weather, I hate the yo-yo syndrome with our weather because every year, my lilac tree (I know it is really a bush, but it is about 15 ft. tall, so I call it a tree)  blooms because of the warmer weather and then it snows and kills the buds and I don&#39;t get very many blooms after that.

After taking this dessert personality test, send this e-mail on to others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the subject box above.<br /> <br />ALSO, SEND IT TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU. DON&#39;T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR DESSERT CHOICE IN THE SUBJECT BOX BEFORE YOU FORWARD IT.<br />  <br />Here are your choices:<br /> <br />1. Angel Food Cake<br />2. Brownies<br />3. Lemon Meringue Pie<br />4. Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Icing<br />5. Strawberry Short Cake<br />6. Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing<br />7. Ice Cream<br />8. Carrot Cake<br /> <br />No, you can&#39;t change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully what your choice will be. OK - Now that you&#39;ve made your choice, this is what the researchers say about you...<br /> <br />  <br />SCROLL DOWN---<br />No Cheating<br /> <br /> <br />1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.<br /> <br />2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.<br /> <br />3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, &amp; articulate with your hands, you are an excellent care giver and a good teacher. But don&#39;t try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.<br /> <br />4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.<br /> <br />5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.<br /> <br />6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.<br /> <br />7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball, football, basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don&#39;t like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.<br /> <br />8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.<br /> <br />SEND TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS....INCLUDING ME&#33;  DON&#39;T FORGET - PUT YOUR CHOICE OF DESSERT IN &#39;SUBJECT BOX&#39; ABOVE BEFORE YOU FORWARD<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <br /><br />Now here’s my question – why aren’t any of these things you “can beâ€ bad things.  Here’s a few I think they should include…..<br /><br />Chocolate Pudding:  You are a mean evil person who deserves to be put out of <b>my</b> misery (use to have a teacher who liked chocolate pudding)<br /><br />Apple Cobbler: You are worse then the person who likes Chocolate Pudding (use to have a boss who liked Apple Cobbler)<br /><br />Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce:  You are somewhere in between the Chocolate Pudding and the Apple Cobbler (use to be a bully on the school bus who liked Vanilla Ice Cream w/Chocolate Sauce)<br /> <br />You get the idea  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />','seauonboard','seauonboard','2008-02-28 22:05:39',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(274540,334,1,18,269437,'2008-02-28 22:07:33',NULL,'','Afternoon all&#33; Cold for us here in Florida, highs only in the high 50&#39;s....BRRRR&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I know some of you are jealous but to us this is cold.

They were at Excelsior Amusement park here in MN.  We talked to them for awhile, and Mike Love went on some rides with one of my girl friends after their bandstand show.   Then they had a dance later on at the pavilion across the street.  They gave us a note to give to the door man at the back door and we got in right up front of the stage.

That was quite an experience you had meeting the Beach Boys.    I&#39;m sure you will never forget it.

Please don&#39;t take the cat&#39;s meds though.   I&#39;d hate to think of you stuck up in a tree - how embarrasing for you.   lol  <br /><br />Steve - glad you are all set for your cruise.    I&#39;m sure your sister will have a good time with Dad and it will give them a chance to catch up.    Just remind her of how hard you worked getting the house clean and tell her it had better be that way when you return.   <br /><br />Cheryl - how wonderful that you will be spending the weekend with Scotty.    I&#39;m sure he is looking forward to it as much as you are.

Can&#39;t take the chance of Deb &amp; Dave finding out their mom isn&#39;t the square old fashioned Mom they think I am.    They still can&#39;t understand how we don&#39;t get bored out of our minds on cruises - you know sitting by the pool with our book covered by a blanket sipping tea.   Oh, if only they knew.   lol<br /><br />Maria - glad the cutting boards are coming out well.   You talking about the cradle reminded me of a bassinet that belonged to my Dad ( he was born 1918 and it was already in the family. ) which has been passed all around the family.   Our generation all used it, our children used it and now our grandkids used it.   I really have to check on it and see who has it.   My niece who is getting married in May makes no bones about the fact that she wants a honeymoon baby so I should check and see if it needs any work.   I really wish we had put a plaque on it of some type.   We always talked about it but never did it.   <br /><br />Sue - how is Pappy doing today?   Hope it wasn&#39;t anything serious.<br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita -  you certainly have a busy month ahead of you.

Then we went to the grocery store where he wanted me to load up on snacks for him, but luckily he loves things that are good for him - he picked watermelon, canteloupe and pistachio nuts.  My son was thinking about taking the day off tomorrow to do something with Scotty but when he asked him, Scotty was adamant about wanting to spend the whole weekend with grandma and grandpa. His dad said that was because he probably wouldn&#39;t be told &quot;no&quot; for the next 2 days.  Sorry this is such a quick check-in but I have to go tend to dinner.  Have a great weekend everyone.','Gregswife','Gregswife','2008-03-01 02:01:29',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(274746,3913,1,18,269437,'2008-03-01 03:25:06',NULL,'','Well I made it.

Same thing happened for area Bowling.  He got a 5th place ribbon that day (hasn&#39;t gotten a ribbon in years - only medals).  He did better at the States - grabbing a gold.  Only problem is his team doesn&#39;t do State for basketball so it&#39;s today or nothing.  His temp is about 99.8 - which really isn&#39;t a temp but he has a back headache.  We are going to go for the 11 o clock gaem and see how he feels.  He has practiced so hard and as his coach told me this morning when I called to tell her he wasn&#39;t in the best shape &quot;Boy we need him&quot;.  So we will go and see what happens.  They will get a medal (1st, 2nd or 3rd) as there are only 3 teams in his classification - but still.<br /><br />Looks like many are going to have a busy day.  I know what it&#39;s like to worry about our &quot;puppies&quot;.  Our little princess is 4 years old and &quot;SUFFERS&quot; from severe allergy to grass.  Now that it&#39;s warming up down here hubby mowed and boy is she going to town aleady on trying to remove every bit of hair from her face and paws (itching and biting).  I think this year we are going to have to go for the shots.  We have avoided them because of the steriods but the benadril (sp) just isn&#39;t working anymore.<br /><br />Boy I wish I was cruising today (ahhh).  As I have metioned on the boards Nate is going with us group of ladies in September (as I will NEVER get away with crusing without him).  He counts down EVERY day and at some points drives us nuts with all the simple questions he asks - like .... Where are we going to stop and eat on the way?  Do you think we&#39;ll have to walk from the parking area to the ship or will they have a shuttle?  You get the idea.  Well, DH was a little upset that he wouldn&#39;t get a cruise in this year (work is a bear) but we decided we would go in April (the 19th) on the same ship - Ecstasy out of Galveston.  We didn&#39;t tell Nate about it because he would be driving us CRAZY with questions - they get more and more frequent the closer we get - like 20 questions a day.  Plus we weren&#39;t sure up until final payment if we were even going to go - so we didn&#39;t tell him.  We are going to tell him on the Friday before (the ship sails Saturday) that we have decided to head to Galveston for a couple days.  We are going to drop the dog off at her best friends (Jackie - a Jack Russell Terrier) and head to Galveston.  When we get close we&#39;re going to say - you know, do we really want to stay in Galveston - really one day is enough.  Maybe we should go other places too&#33; Then pull in - pull out the luggage and off we go.  I think he is going to be so excited.  I have video on my camera but I&#39;m thinking about buying a video camera.<br /><br />Well - I didn&#39;t mean to be on so long - I have to get ready.

Both teams they played against were way superior.  The first game they lost 32 to 7.  Then they had to play the team that had beaten that team. It wasn&#39;t as bad 28 to 12 but I think that was because they were &quot;saving&quot; it fo rthe championship game.  The coach was mighty ticked as we were the only team in this situation.  I know it must be difficult but you would think they would look at the teams record from the year before.  Are boys are just beginners - a lot of these players have been playing on the same team for years.  Oh well - he played more the second game and even made a basket - which made his day.

My brother works for IBM and I used his<br />employee discount in November and spent &#036;1500 to get a super duper computer with tons of bells and<br />whistles.  Then, I fogot it on my Brilliance cruise and I went down for my conference and left it home&#33;  It&#39;s<br />hardly broken in yet.<br /><br />Well, this year&#39;s spring training was outstanding....I attended every single session - except one two hour<br />block that was strictly law enforcement.  There were two specific four hour sessions relative to child abuse and a great presentation on courtroom testimony.  I had attended Ray Davis&#39; three day course several years ago and it was good to see him again.<br /><br />Three of my good nurse cruising buddies were there and we went out to dinner every night, joined by my<br />son, Jeremy, who graduates from Cal Poly in June.  His girlfriend, Katie, also came - I spent far more than I&#39;d planned but it was so nice seeing him....the last two years, since he transferred there to finish college, I&#39;ve enjoyed showing him off to my cop/nurse colleagues.  <br /><br />Well, pretty soon, I&#39;ll need to start thinking about what to take on the Navigator&#33;&#33;&#33;  It&#39;s six weeks from now.  I can&#39;t wait.  <br /><br />My foot and ankle are all healed up...still have no diagnosis.  Guess my blood work was all right as I&#39;ve had no messages from my doctors.  <br /><br />Finally, almost two months to the day after the tree crashed on my car, I have my FIRST physical therapy<br />appointment on Monday.  Still ache all over.  The 3-1/2 hour drive down to San Luis Obispo was so exhausting for me.  I had to get out every hour and stretch and move around a bit.  I know they will think<br />I am wierd ( they would be right ) on my flight home from Barcelona...good thing I have an aisle seat so I can move about a little.<br /><br />Sure have missed all of you&#33;<br /><br />Carmen','RNSANE','RNSANE','2008-03-02 08:33:17',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(274887,488,1,18,274788,'2008-03-02 13:37:14',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#330000--><span style=\"color:#330000\"><!--/coloro-->SUNDAY - March 2nd<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good morning Crazies - We had a wonderfully do nothing type of day yesterday.

I&#39;m sure after moving things all weekend, going to work on Monday will be a relief.   <br /><br />Jenn - Glad you got out for a walk - I&#39;m looking forward to that in the not too distant future.

Greg is so good at driving in all kinds of adverse conditions, so I don&#39;t worry about him, it is all the other idiots on the road who concern me.

We have leather furniture in our family room and it needed replacing.  It was very expensive but only lasted 5 yrs.  That room is done in a Texas style so we really wanted something that would fit in with the decor.  We looked at leather again but the only 2 that we thought were &quot;westerny&quot; looking did not come with recliners and that is a must in both the sofa and the loveseat.  We ended up going with suede this time, so will have to see how we like it once it arrives in a few weeks.  It sure seemed comfy in the store.

Take a peek when you have a chance.   The little cubby is getting quite an extensive collection going.   I&#39;m so happy everyone is having fun with her.   She leave on the 8th with Jim on her next adventure and then will be home for awhile if anyone is interested in taking her away.  PM me if you want to share your cruise with our Mascot.   I am really amazed that so many of the ships Officers are being such good sports and posing with her.   <br /><br />Jackie - the Elk Cove Inn looks lovely.   I hope things work out for you.

As I told you guys, our 5 yr. old grandson spent the weekend with us. Friday night, when it was bathtime, he wanted to take it in my tub as it is the deepest bathtub I have ever seen, I can sit straight up in it and have the water over my shoulders. Even though I don&#39;t fill it nearly that deep for him, he just likes it because it is deeper than the other tubs in the house. So, I run his water and put some bubbles in. When I went back in to check on him, I discovered that he had turned the jacuzzi jets on. Of course, that whipped the bubbles up and made them multiply. I walked in to find bubbles over the top of the tub decking and on the floor. In this pic, he looks like he is laying down, but actually he is sitting up and looking out of a little hole he had made himself...<br /><br /><img src=\"http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/Scottybathtub4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" /><br /><br />And this one was taken after the bubbles started subsiding...<br /><br /><img src=\"http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/Scottybathtub1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" />','Gregswife','Gregswife','2008-03-03 21:05:27',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275065,2613,1,18,274788,'2008-03-03 21:09:01',NULL,'','Cheryl, that is too cute.','mercedes','mercedes','2008-03-03 21:09:01',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275066,488,1,18,274788,'2008-03-03 21:14:55',NULL,'','Cheryl - What a great picture&#33;   Looks like Scotty had a terrific time with you and Greg over the weekend.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-03-03 21:14:55',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275089,2066,1,18,274788,'2008-03-03 22:34:19',NULL,'','Great pictures....','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2008-03-03 22:34:19',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275103,573,1,18,274788,'2008-03-04 01:57:56',NULL,'','<img src=\"http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b319/hazelson/GA.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" /><br /><br />Cold and wet today.

In April 2004, he disappeared after his daughter, then 13-years-old, told her mother she was the victim of more than five years of molestation. <br /><br />Naval, 50, threatened to kill the family after the girl&#39;s mother confronted him about the sexual assaults, authorities said. When the mother locked the girl and her younger brother inside a closet, Naval allegedly used a hammer to break open the door, stopping the onslaught only when he heard the approach of sirens.<br /><br />Though authorities suspect Naval was hiding for more than a year in his native Philippines, U.S. Marshals eventually arrested him at a residence on Mission Circle in Daly City on Nov. 28, 2005.<br /><br />He was convicted in October after a five-week trial in which the jury deliberated for three days. Naval had no criminal record at the time of the molestation.<br /><br />District Attorney Kamala Harris said the sentence helps send a loud signal that authorities will aggressively prosecute sexual assaults. Naval?s sentence was a couple of years short of the maximum sentence, and he will eventually be eligible for parole.<br /><br />Harris highlighted the case Thursday because of what she called a huge problem in reporting sexual assault cases, especially when a minor is required to take the stand. Oftentimes, she said, victims feel they put themselves at risk by reporting a sex crime without any confidence that the suspect will be prosecuted.<br /><br />&quot;It happens far more frequently than it&#39;s reported,&quot; Harris said. &quot;Often because victims believe nothing will happen if they report.&quot;<br /><br />bbegin@examiner.com<br /><br />Examiner <br /><br /><br />','RNSANE','RNSANE','2008-03-04 21:43:55',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275237,920,1,18,274788,'2008-03-04 23:11:41',NULL,'','Well, after raising h... with Azamara, Celebrity and RCI my airline reservations suddenly materialized.  <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 />The reservations were made last Friday and this is Tuesday.

Rose, so glad you and Cynthia had such a good time - they do grow up so very quickly and then you can&#39;t seem to get as much time with them as you would like.  Mary Lou, did the little ones decorate yet?  I need to get started on buying Easter basket fixin&#39;s.  Even though mine are grown, they still get baskets and Greg always gets the biggest chocolate bunny I can find.  Joey, bet you are having a great time watching all the primary returns.  Earlier, I saw that Obama was ahead in Texas and now they say Hillary is.  Jenn, your &quot;littles&quot; are so lucky to have you to spend time with them.  Are we going to get see pics of these crafts also?   Shari, have a wonderufl time with your precious grandkids (how could you not???).  Well, think I will call it a night, so I will catch up with you all tomorrow...','Gregswife','Gregswife','2008-03-05 07:36:46',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275282,488,1,18,274788,'2008-03-05 13:37:28',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#003300--><span style=\"color:#003300\"><!--/coloro-->WEDNESDAY - March 5th<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good Morning Crazies from rainy, rainy, rainy Pa.   It has been pouring all night long and we had a really big thunder storm during the night where for awhile there was no breaks between the thunder claps and lightning bolts.   I&#39;m happily suprised that the power is still on.<br /><br />We had a very exciting day in our house yesterday.   There have been major changes going on in Deb&#39;s workplace since they merged with another financial institute last year and the training department now consists of 1&#96; per son - Deb.   There has been talk going around that once the new system was in place in January, the training Dept. would be closed and the new employees would be trained by the individual branches they would be working for.   Well, yesterday morning Deb had a message waiting for her to be available for a conference call at 8:30 between the new financial institute VP, her old bank President and HR and she called us to tell us &quot;this was it&quot; she was getting fired, especially since they had put off her review (raise) which was due last week.    Well they called and it was not to fire her.   They realized how much they needed a central training center, what a great job she was doing, moved her from Ass&#39;t Trainer to Manager of the Training Center and on top of that made her an Officer of the Bank with a huge raise&#33;&#33; ( They came close to doubling her salary)  Stunned it not the word to describe her reaction but I am so happy for her.  Deb does nothing half way and gives 110% to everything she does so it was nice to see they recognized her hard work.  She has to immediately hire not 1 but 2 Assistants (I told her she could hire her father since he will be unemployed come December lol)<br /><br />Maria - so glad your test came back OK and you are doing well.   I&#39;m glad the surgeon thinks the issues you are having are nothing to worry about.    When do you go for the gloucoma test?   Hopefully that won&#39;t cause you any problems.  <br /><br />Jackie - I know you were worried about Gucci adapting to her new surroundings, so I&#39;m glad she is adjusting to the move.   Glad your back is feeling better - now don&#39;t go moving anything else.  <br /><br />Rose - Welcome back - I&#39;m so glad you and Cynthia had a good cruise and got to spend some special time together.  <br /><br />Ed - glad you have all your flight information now and was able to make the necessary changes. <br /><br />Joey - this seems to be a huge storm we are having so I imagine David is getting a good soaking too.<br /><br />Hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for spring.   Today I hope the kids will help get the easter decorations up after school (too busy celebrating Mommy&#39;s promotion yesterday) but other than that nothing special planned - I&#39;ll just stay in and stay dry.   <br /><br />Make today special and enjoy your day.  I&#39;ll be back later on.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-03-05 13:37:28',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275297,754,1,18,274788,'2008-03-05 14:55:22',NULL,'','Good Morning all................<br /><br />I am up early today as the doctor told me to take my previcid one hour before I eat.

She works for a private water company and they had two part-timers. They  asked her if she could handle their jobs and she said yes.

She said it is the people that don&#39;t get reguarly eye checkups<br />that don&#39;t get detected until it is too far advanced so I am not really worried about it.<br /><br />Well I guess being I am up I will get in the shower.

Lauren said that they were not going to subject the baby to the stress of those tests and they would wait until the sonogram at 20 weeks to learn if the dr.s suspicions were correct.  The dr. advised against that as in her words, it would be too late to do anything regarding ending the pregnancy.  For Lauren and Matt, that was never an option and they said they would love the baby regardess and if God so chose to place a special needs child in their care, they would not question Him.   It was a tough 9 weeks for them and hundreds, if not thousands of prayers were said for this baby.  The sonogram was yesterday morning, and my friend called me at 9:00 and woke me up.

Thanks for all your help and hard work.<br /><br />jms<br /><br />J. Michael Swart<br />Assistant District Attorney</i>&lt;strong&gt;<br /><br />This was an especially violent cold hit case from 1999 - defendant was tried on this - and another equally violent cold hit case from the year before - I took care of the Japanese victim who was vacationing here in San Francisco.  <br /><br />Until passage of the DNA legislation, these kits were never run ( thank you, Debbie Smith - and Rob - if you ever have a chance to see &quot;A Life Interrupted&quot; on Lifetime Television about Debbie Smith, see it - she was the wife of a police detective in Williamsburg, VA who was raped and, ultimately, went from being a homemaker to a fighter for women&#39;s rights - she fought in Congress to get legislation passed to get cold hit cases run - her assailant was found this way - he was in jail for another offense as was the man who raped the two San Francisco victims ).  <br /><br />At the time, I never dreamed a suspect would be found.  The victim did not speak English at all and I felt so badly for her, a guest in our city.  The defendant stole her passport, money and airline ticket.  <br /><br />Sometimes, thankfully, there is justice.<br /><br />Perhaps this is why I have grown so close to many of my dear Japanese colleagues in recent years - my small way of trying to make up for this horrible affront to one of their citizens.  I did not have the chance to speak to the victim at the trial but I did say hello to her when she was flown in for the preliminary hearing.  <br /><br />Neither of us recognized each other - of course, with her facial trauma at that time, she did not look the<br />same.  Her nose was broken in the assault and both eyes were swollen and black and blue and she was covered in abrasions.  <br /><br />In twenty years of doing this work, I would venture to say less than 25% of my cases have been successfully prosecuted, if that many.  It&#39;s nice to see two convictions in a month - one case nine years old, the child case at least three years old.  <br /><br />I don&#39;t think I have any court cases pending now but, with cold hits, things seem to pop up when you don&#39;t expect them.<br /><br />I just try to forget all of them and think about good things, like cruising, and travel, until it&#39;s necessary to do otherwise.<br />','RNSANE','RNSANE','2008-03-07 07:37:46',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275628,920,1,18,274788,'2008-03-07 09:21:44',NULL,'','Good Evening All,<br /><br />Just stopping by to let you know I&#39;m still alive and well in LV.<br /><br />Been lurking, but nothing much to report.<br /><br />Later,<br /><br />','The Skipper','The Skipper','2008-03-07 09:21:44',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275629,274,1,18,274788,'2008-03-07 11:02:55',NULL,'','Hi everyone&#33;<br /><br />Just stopping in to say hello&#33;  I hope I can catch up with you all this weekend.<br /><br />Cheryl...that&#39;s fantastic news about your friend&#39;s baby&#33;  God is good&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;','Shari2','Shari2','2008-03-07 11:02:55',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275641,488,1,18,274788,'2008-03-07 13:01:12',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#330099--><span style=\"color:#330099\"><!--/coloro-->FRIDAY - March 7th<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good morning Crazies - TGIF - this has been a very long week for some reason and I have a busy day ahead of me.

I’ve been trying to follow everyone’s “exploitsâ€.  I want to express warm thoughts and prayers to those that need it (including pappy).<br /><br />I want to say to Carmen that I’m elated to know that justice was served.  Many, many years ago when I was just 19 I was followed home by a man that I later found out was wanted for questioning in many rapes.  God was looking out for me – literally.  I was living with my parents at the time and there was a church across the street with 3 crosses on a hill – all light up.  When I pulled into my driveway and turned off my engine something made me look in my rear window mirror.  The window was fogged over but I could see a silhouette cast upon the window from the lights across the street of someone standing behind my car.  I immediately locked my door (which now I do as soon as I enter my car – even in my own garage) and could see him coming up along the side the car in my side mirror.  It was very late – like 2 in the morning and everyone in the house was sleeping.  Not many houses around.  I just laid on the horn.  When he realized that I knew he was there he started up his engine and left.  I realized that this was probably a car I had seen earlier that the driver was acting strangely (I suspect he was on the prowl).  It took a few minutes for my heart to settle down and even them I was affraid that he had just backed out and when I tried to exit he would be there waiting.  Before I exited the car I took off my high heels – held one tightly with the heel out in one hand and inter-locked my keys between the fingers of my other.  Jumped out of the car and ran yelling and screaming into the house.  My parents’ bedroom is on the far side of the house and they did not awake when I was laying on the horn – as the neighbors friends had a habit of doing this late at night.  Lucky for me the man behind my car didn’t know this.  I told my parents’ what had happened but opted not to call the police because I didn’t see the man – I mean what could they do??  The next morning after talking to my girlfriend she told me we should go down to the police department.  When I started to decribe the distinctive car to the officer he stopped me and went to get another detective.  Come to find out the car fit the description of one involved in several rapes.  I feel very lucky and feel that I had an angel on my side that night.  Since that day I remain very alert to my surroundings.  You can never be too careful.  I know my life would have been forever changed (in a different way) if I had not looked up.  God was watching.<br /><br />It has been crazy – weather and otherwise.  Just a few days ago it was in the 80’s and then to get 6 inches of snow – which we rarely get anyhow – talk about strange weather.<br /><br />I don’t have time to post much else – although a lot has happened this week – can’t believe it’s Friday already.  I just wanted to express my elation over Carmens news.  Maybe I’ll have time this weekend.<br /><br />Take care everyone<br />','seauonboard','seauonboard','2008-03-07 21:25:21',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275719,4386,1,18,274788,'2008-03-07 21:50:19',NULL,'','Your story gives me chills, Cheryl.  That was smart thinking on your part.  It is so important to teach our sons and daughters as much as we can about being safe.  Teens, especially, think that they are invincible and they take so many risks.  I, like, you, lock my doors the second I get in the car.  It is a shame one has to be so paranoid but it may avert some horrible calamity.  I, sadly, have seen over five hundred adult victims of sexual assault, male and female - and have dealt with over eight hundred child victims of molest or rape.  <br /><br />To relate it to cruising, a subject near and dear to all our hearts, I&#39;ve been on ships, sometime, where I&#39;ve seen people consume so much alcohol, there is no way they could consent to a sexual encounter.  Often, the bartenders are not aware of how much passengers are drinking - nowadays, they will refuse to serve those who seem too inebriated, often releasing a tirade of profanity and displeasure.  It creates quite a few problems, I&#39;m sure.<br /><br />On one ship, about 5AM, the captain was on the intercom, asking for the wherabouts of a passenger, after the husband reported her missing - they were on their 10th anniversary cruise. They finally turned the ship around and called out the Coast Guard.  She later came out of another passenger&#39;s cabin, holding her shoes and underclothing.  I don&#39;t know if they will be celebrating another anniversary.','RNSANE','RNSANE','2008-03-07 21:50:19',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275744,2549,1,18,274788,'2008-03-08 01:53:52',NULL,'','hey everyone... <br /><br />Well Marylou how many books this time... well glad it was the books this time.. not the wild outfit she wanted weeks ago LOL LOL <br /><br />Carmen SF... well like i say there are always angels and your our one for kids ...thank god for that..<br /><br />Cheryl ... how wonderful foryour friends child,, but also i think god thought well if you were willing to accept <br />my fate .. i would give a gift .. thats a wonderful to hear..<br /><br />Jackie sounds like a nice table and chairs.. they have come a long way from the old formica top and metal chairs... i remember the one my mom and dad had for years b.. it sure did last...<br /><br />OMG will you guys snow every end... dang... i just can&#39;t believe how much you all have had this year .. do you all ever wear white LOL LOL <br /><br />ok went to the grocery store i needed some tomatoes for tacos OMG ... i can&#39;t wait to have my own tomatoes again this year.. i just about choked on the price..tonight for dinner is chicken pot pie.. i haven&#39;t made that for awhile thought it sounded YUMO...<br /><br />ok Gary is snoring.. puppies are snoring.. and here i am awake ...

I had two different incidents where someone attempted to rape me.  Both times I was saved.  I won&#39;t go into detail.  Once I was 16, and the other time was on a cruise ship when I was 31.  I also had my neighbor show me what he had when I was in grade school.  I ran away from him pretty fast.  I also was walking home from school once, as a child, with my girlfriend, and had a guy in a car call us over and flash us. We ran pretty fast then, too.   We need to get these creeps off the streets and away from our children and grandchildren. <br /><br />Anyway, I&#39;m glad these guys are off the streets now.<br /><br />Hope everyone has a great weekend.<br /><br />Everyone in the way of the storms and bad weather, stay safe, and stay warm.','Shari2','Shari2','2008-03-08 11:57:19',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(275776,488,1,18,274788,'2008-03-08 13:52:56',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#330033--><span style=\"color:#330033\"><!--/coloro-->SATURDAY - March 8th<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good morning Crazies.    A quiet weekend ahead and it&#39;s a good thing because it is raining and raining and raining.   I&#39;d nearly time to build the ark.    It poured all day yesterday and today is supposed to be the same so I will go into the basement and find our summer things and get a few of them ready for our cruise.   It really is easy packing for a 5 day cruise - I should have done this long ago.  lol  I am now about &#036;75 poorer due to the book sale yesterday but I never say no to books for any of the grandkids and Ash did ask for a book for TJ as well as one for Paige &amp; Colin and one for the class room so I couldn&#39;t say no. (She also got 4 new books because she couldn&#39;t decide.)  She is just learning to read and it is amazing to me to watch her open a book and begin to sound out words and try to read by herself.  <br /><br />Shari - have a great time with Izzy &amp; Avery today.   How old is Avery?   I&#39;m sure Izzy has gotten very big and cute since you were watching her before.<br /><br />Tonia - how well I remember those formica and metal dining sets.   Brings back great memories of the <br />old day when the family sat together for dinner each night at those &quot;highly sytlish&quot; sets.    <br /><br />Ed - Glad to have you back with us.   We missed you for a few days there.   I&#39;m sure your church was thrilled with your report.   <br /><br />Joey - Did David get back home last night?   I&#39;m sure he had trouble getting out of Delaware with this storm.<br /><br />Carmen &reg; - sadly I must agree with you as far as the drinking on cruise ship goes.   Some people just leave common sense on shore.   I think most teens think they are invinsible but don&#39;t know how to handle that problem.  I am so glad I am not raising kids now but worry so about what is ahead for my grandkids - the oldest of who is 7<br /><br />Cheryl sea - it&#39;s good to have you back.   I&#39;m glad all worked out OK with your scare when you were younger.   When I was learning to drive my Dad taught me never to get into the car til I checked the back seat and I still do that to this day.   He also taught me how to carry my key like you did   Sadly, you can never be too careful.<br /><br />Jim has to work today as a fill-in so I need to get him up and moving.  I keep hearing the snooze alarm going off.  <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.

We got as presents, two gift certficates; one for the SF Symphony and the other for Boulevard, a highly rated restaurant in San Francisco.  So today, we have an afternoon show at the Davies Hall to listen to Beethoven&#39;s Symphony No.3 Eroica and Mendelssohn&#39;s Violin Concerto in E minor.  We were actually able to purchase another concert (Lang Lang for next month) with the certificate too&#33;   This will be the 4th time to the symphony this season and have another one to go to next Friday night.  We really enjoy classical music&#33; <br /><br />After the concert we&#39;ll have dinner at Boulevard&#39;s.  We&#39;ve never dined before and definitely looking forward to a excellent time.

I love books myself and love buying them as gifts.  I saw some great ones in the local Coles at Chrostmas.  Each page of the story was a jig-saw puzzle that popped out - and each one looked to be about 150 pieces so a bit of a challenge as well.    Stay dry - and remember if you are actually considering stocking an ark then DO NOT have your pets spayed or neutered lol.<br /><br /><b>Sue</b> - let us know how the book goes - I love that era..... and stay warm LOL.<br /><br />Guess I better go get Hugh ready for work - he&#39;s a slow starter.

Mary Lou, I know what you mean - Scotty always wants books and I just can&#39;t say no.  I think he and Ashleigh are the same age (5) and it amazes me that he can read.  Like Ashleigh, he has to do it by sounding out the words, but it seems like just yesterday he was eating the pages in his books.  Shari, hope you had a great day with the little ones.  For us, March is normally our snowiest month and April is the 2nd snowiest, so I know we are still in for a good bit more of winter.  Hey Jenn, the saying in your signature reminds me of a plague I have hanging in one of our guest rooms - it says &quot;this is a bed and breakfast.  Feel free to make both&quot;.  Joey glad David finally made it home, hope you spent today pampering him after all that travel.  Jackie, I hope you guys get settled in soon - it takes some time to get everything just the way you want it.  We had ordered new furniture last weekend and they said it would be 2 weeks.  I called today, hoping it had arrived early, but no such luck.  I missed the exact date of Mercedes&#39; surgery, does anyone know when it is?  We took a drive up to the mountains today.  Normally, when we go for a drive, we take the Cadillac as it is much more comfortable and gets better gas mileage than Greg&#39;s huge pick-up, but he took the truck today.  I discovered why when he turned off the main road we were on and headed up a &quot;true mountain road&quot; - 1 lane, very steep, 1000 ft. drop off with no guard rails and covered in ice and snow.  It led to a ghost town on the top of the mountain and as there was no county maintainence, the roads had not been cleared.  I was white knuckling it and he was having a great time.  At least the road was so bad, that he had to keep the truck in 4-wheel low, so couldn&#39;t go very fast.  Well, just wanted to pop in and say hello.  We are taking the whole family to Casa Bonita tomorrow for dinner.  If you are ever in Denver, it is a must see - the interior is like a huge grotto - there are cliffs built in and a pool that looks like it is natural, surrounded by plants and rocks.  the divers dive into the water. and there are all kinds of shows going on around the restaurant, mariachi bands play at your table, a giant gorilla (not a real one) runs around and plays with the kids and there is an arcade.  Check it out online if you are ever in the area.

The &quot;Butler&quot; thing is really nothing but a Cabin Stewart dressed in a Tux.  Know that going in.  Will give you a full report on the little touches or lack thereof when we get back, including if there are fabric hand towels in the men&#39;s room.

I am going to crochet some but also make some of the easier ones.

When we got home and opened it yesterday it was the bridge and engine room video.  Called the TA to find out who to call and of course the ball started rolling again. My dad who will be 91 next month wants another cruise.  So we are looking Sept or Oct.  Since he doesn&#39;t care about getting off at the islands hurricanes and the changes the cause shouldn&#39;t be a problem.  Told the TA find us a cruise out of Orlando or Ft Lauderdale with a handicap suite.  Don&#39;t care where it goes.  We took him last Sept on the Glory and had the handicap suite.  Worked out really well.  Dad is on oxygen and we can get non-stop flights to both places.<br /><br />Maria...Glad you finally got some decent weather.

We had a really good time at the concert last night and now are fully in an Irish mood for St. Patrick&#39;s Day.  I guess I will be going out to buy some corned beef and caggage today.   The Irish Rovers were terrific but ended their concert with their big hit &quot;The Unicorn Song&quot;.   I spent most of the night staring at the ceiling singing &quot;Green alligators and long necked geese.&quot;   I can&#39;t get the tune out of my head.   <br /><br />Big doings tonight for all the little female members of our family.   Up in Ct.  Paige will be attending her second Princess ball  complete with gown, tiara and her Prince Charming (her Dad) looking great in his new tux.   According to her - all of 7 years old - it is the social event of the year.   Closer to home Ashleigh will be attending her first Girl Scout 1950&#39;s sock hop.  Since Daddy Mike could not get off work, Poppy Jim will be taking her.   Her next door neighbor made her a cute little pink poodle skirt so she will be in style there.  <br /><br />Joey - I also boil the corned beef and add the cabbage, etc. at the end.   Tonia&#39;s topping sounds yummy though I think I will have to try that this year.   I have tried roasting the brisket but somehow it just doesn&#39;t taste the same. (I think it really needs to sit in that greasy water that is so bad for you for a few hours)<br /><br />Karla - It might be time to ask for a raise at Kohls after all the shopping I have been doing there recently.   <br />Their sales are just too good to pass up.    <br /><br />Ed - And the problem with Roe needing a new dress for her nephews wedding would be what??   I am in the same boat as she is.   My niece is getting married in May, I have a closet full of gowns I could wear but if you give me a minute or two I can find a reason to eliminate every one of them from my list of possibilities.  lol - Happy shopping&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Steve - Details on your next cruise, please.

We are hoping for a quiet weekend here and hopefully we can begin the annual yard clean up.  Our friends are having their annual Easter Egg hunt down on their farm tomorrow so I&#39;ll be helping to dye eggs today for them.   Last year they put out more than 400 eggs so it is quite a big undertaking.   I hope they have a nice day for it - the last few years have not been that great.  <br /><br />The 50&#39;s sock hop was a huge success and I&#39;ll try and post some pics later on today.   I won&#39;t have any pics of Paige at her Princess Ball til we see them next week.   I wish we were going to Ct. this weekend - my little boy turns 40 tomorrow.   Where has the time gone?   Dave was born  the day before St. Patricks day - a fact that my dear father-in-law held over my head til the day he passed on.   lol   <br />&quot;You couldn&#39;t wait just 10 hour and 38 minutes longer - you carried him for 9 months - would a few more hours have been too much to ask for?&quot; I told him all along I would not be having another Patrick to add to his family....far too many Patrick&#39;s already.<br /><br />Shari - get rid of that bug&#33;&#33;  Hope you are feeling better soon.

Well, Greg just came in from a day of atv&#39;ing so I need to get those muddy clothes in the washer....<br /><img src=\"http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/myfavoriteshoes.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" />','Gregswife','Gregswife','2008-03-16 01:09:02',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(276980,920,1,18,274788,'2008-03-16 06:57:25',NULL,'','Hey Cheryl,<br /><br />The Andrew Sisters wore shoes that looked like that during WWII  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" />','The Skipper','The Skipper','2008-03-16 06:57:25',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(276982,488,1,18,274788,'2008-03-16 13:04:15',NULL,'','<!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#336666--><span style=\"color:#336666\"><!--/coloro-->SUNDAY - March 16th<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Good morning Crazies.  How is everyone this morning?   Just waiting a few more minutes before I call our son Dave to wish him  a Happy 40th Birthday.  I can&#39;t believe he is 40 years old already.    It seems like just yesterday he was an infant but he has grown into a wonderful young man, a great husband and a really terrific Dad.   I also need to get a report from Paige on her Princess ball on Friday.   We spent yesterday playing phone tag.     I will download pics of Ash and Jim later today and post one.<br /><br />Joey - I&#39;m so happy that you seem to be doing better.   Perhaps the pacemaker just needed a little fine tuning.    Thanks for all the work you are doing on a possible group cruise - it looks like it is really coming together and just might happen in &#39;09.   If it does, we will have to pass Crazie around the ship so everyone gets a chance to show her off.   lol<br /><br />Cheryl - Love those shoes but I could never walk in those heels.   I would be crippled up for a week afterwards.  Now you just need to find an outfit to go with them.<br /><br />Carmen - How could we forget you?????  Sorry to hear you have been so busy, especially with your line of work. but we are glad to have you back with us.   <br /><br />Gail - so happy to hear you had a great day with Jacob.   Grandkids are truly one of lifes great treasures.  <br /><br />Steve - Isn&#39;t it great to see a countdown clock in your signature again.   I&#39;m so happy you were able to book this cruise for your Dad (and another cruise for you and Lynda is a bonus)<br /><br />Ed - If I were you I&#39;d asked to be moved further down on the contact list for church.  lol  I hope the church isn&#39;t too far away from you.<br /><br />Time for me to get myself into gear - Jim has decided he wants to go to early mass this morning so he can get some things done later on.   Usually 9AM Church, lets out a little after 10 - stand around and talk for 10-15 minutes and then head out for breakfast - kind of kills the whole morning - so will get an earlier start today.<br /><br />Make today special and when I get my pics downloaded I&#39;ll be back to post one or two.<br /><br /><br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2008-03-16 13:04:15',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(277023,3642,1,18,274788,'2008-03-16 15:45:34',NULL,'','good morning all <br />still at my sister&#39;s but i am going home this afternoon <br />took Pappy out early this morning he can&#39;t wait to go home hehe <br />just finished breakfast with family a few mins ago <br /><br />have good day everyone<br /><br />','lovelypinky','lovelypinky','2008-03-16 15:45:34',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(277024,3913,1,18,274788,'2008-03-16 16:07:41',NULL,'','Good morning&#33;  It&#39;s going to be another busy day.

They sold the set on TV for around &#036;500, and I would have never have paid that, but Sam&#39;s had it for just over a hundred dollars for the 6-quart, and the smaller one, and then two fry pans and covers, etc.  I haven&#39;t seen any at Sam&#39;s any more.  <br /><br />We also used a Presto in the past, and Marc just ordered a Kuhn Rikon, 7-liter cooker, which was pretty expensive...I think, close to &#036;200.  You can find pressure cookers for all kinds of prices, and most are pretty good, but some have a few more bells and whistles.  You can probably find a good pressure cooker for around &#036;80 and up.  I like the Expressware one since it&#39;s so easy to use.  I just put the lid on and press down and it&#39;s on.  I can put frozen food in and have it done in no time.  It&#39;s great for coming home late and still wanting a nice dinner.  You can price them in a search engine online..that&#39;s how Marc got the Kuhn Rikon...we haven&#39;t even tried that one yet.  Also...when I wanted an extra cover for my Expressware I found one on e-bay.  They may have some expressware on there.   <br /><br />Rose...I&#39;m so sorry to hear about Howie&#39;s client.

I was so content being off, I just stayed home all day.  Don&#39;t even think I put on any green and no green beer, either - I did have a couple of very minty mojitos, however.<br /><br />Am working today...and it&#39;s d#@* cold here in the basement which is where our CASARC offices are located - in one of the antique buildings on the San Francisco General campus.  I&#39;m bundled up in a shawl and a blanket.  We&#39;re not doing any scheduled interviews today because our video equipment ( state of the art ) turned out to be a lemon and is being replaced.<br /><br />Sometimes this work is so frustrating.  This made yesterday&#39;s paper - this was the case I was in on for ten hours on Saturday.<br /><br /><br />Juvenile alert: <br /><br />The search is on for an armed 17-year-old who allegedly raped and shot a teenage girl in San Francisco just days after juvenile authorities let him walk away after his guilty plea to stalking and assaulting an ex-girlfriend.<br /><br />The fugitive juvenile, whose name has not been disclosed because of his age, had struck a plea deal in late February under which he was supposed to be returned to the custody of his grandmother in Yolo County and kept under the watchful eye of probation officials there. But somewhere he fell through the cracks.<br /><br />Officers down at the San Francisco Hall of Justice are furious - not just that a dangerous kid went unmonitored, but that police brass tried to keep a lid on the incident and didn&#39;t tell the public that a potential menace was on the loose.<br /><br />&quot;We have every right to talk about this kid - he&#39;s a dangerous entity,&quot; said one department higher-up, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity surrounding the case.<br /><br />But police spokesman Sgt. Neville Gittens said other law enforcement agencies and people who know the suspect had been alerted and that putting out the information to the public risks &quot;spooking the guy.&quot;<br />What we know is the teen was arrested and charged with attempted murder after he allegedly choked and beat up a former girlfriend in San Francisco - then left threatening messages on her cell phone - sometime around the start of the year.<br /><br />In February, sources tell us, he pleaded guilty in juvenile court to felony assault. A judge ordered him placed on probation in the custody of his grandmother. The judge also ordered him to stay away from San Francisco.<br />Juvenile probation officials tell us the kid was to report to officials in Yolo County, though there is some question whether the paperwork and handoff of the case were ever completed.<br /><br />&quot;Our expectation was that the matter would be transferred to another county,&quot; said Bill Sifferman, San Francisco&#39;s juvenile probation chief. He added that he was &quot;comfortable&quot; with the way his department had behaved in the matter.<br /><br />Nonetheless, somewhere the ball was dropped. It&#39;s unclear where - probation officials in Yolo County did not return our phone calls Friday.<br /><br />On March 8, the 17-year-old showed up at a home in the Mission District, where he got into a fight with a teenage girl around 3:30 a.m. over her iPod, police say. The youth allegedly raped the girl, then shot her in the leg when she tried to escape, authorities tell us.<br /><br />She was rushed to the hospital for surgery and now is in hiding, and her fugitive assailant hasn&#39;t been seen since.<br /><br />Police question why the 17-year-old wasn&#39;t ordered to wear a monitoring bracelet when he was released after his guilty plea, as is typically done for violent offenders. Sifferman says such tracking devices aren&#39;t used for youths transferred outside San Francisco.<br /><br />Anyway, he said, the department&#39;s &#036;100,000 budget for the program had already been burned up halfway into the fiscal year - so there were no bracelets available.<br /><br /><br /><br />Of course, they don&#39;t have the information correctly in terms of when she was shot...it all happened on March 15th, in the early AM.  But, either way, it sounds like the assailant shouldn&#39;t have been on the streets in the first place.  Sad to think that, at 17, he&#39;s well on his way to a life of crime&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Sometimes I think I will relish doing a normal job where you aren&#39;t waiting for the pager to go off because some horrible thing has been done to someone by another human being.

He went flying off - luckily grandpa was with him and Uncle Chris went running and carried him back up to the house - all the time he was saying &quot;I&#39;m fine, I&#39;m fine&quot;.  He was a little leary about riding after that, but grandpa made him get back on - he said if he didn&#39;t do it right then, he might not ever want to.  He went very slowly at first, after that, but within a few minutes was racing along and having a good time.  He quickly discovered that his ATV has a horn and he was honking it constantly.  He decided he wanted to spend the night here, so I am sure he will be asking gramps every hour to take him out to ride again.

The flooding around here is starting to recede a little, however we still have many roads closed. <br />Maria and Ken, the town and the two big hotels have really changed since the casino opened. The West Baden Springs dome hotel is spectacular. They did have flooding on the grounds, and last Wednesday had to evacuate for one day. The hotel itself was okay, just getting in and out required a boat&#33; They are building a water park on top of the main hill in town. It will have a retractable dome roof and will be opened all 12 months of the year. For the golfers the PGA is putting a French Lick tournament on the schedule.

That&#39;s very typical for us&#33;<br /><br />We had a great time with the family yesterday at our house.

Tomorrow should be in the low 40s with some sun.  I&#39;m hoping.  It&#39;s still below normal temps for this time of the year here in Mpls.  Still resting up from Easter...have lots of errands to run but tomorrow should be a nicer day, so think I will go out then.  I&#39;ll stick around the house today and do some cleaning and laundry.  Can&#39;t wait to see some days with sun and around 55 or 60.  <br /><br />Mary Lou...so glad you had a warmer day.  Here in MN when we get up in the high 40s lots of people are out in shorts.  LOL  It&#39;s a heat wave after the long winter.  Sounds like it&#39;s something like that in your area.  The grandkids loved Easter.  I made up some Easter baskets for the little ones and they were so excited.  <br /><br />Rose...good idea to catch the few extra pounds before they add up.  Wish I had done that in the past.  Have too much to lose now.  lol  Going to check in to the &quot;Seattle Sutton&quot; program next week.  If it&#39;s too expensive I may go back to Weight Watchers.<br /><br />Jackie...sounds like you are very busy there.  Don&#39;t overdo.  <br /><br />Steve...do you make the foo-foo martinis, too?  LOL  I&#39;ll have a creme brulee martini&#33;   Had one on the &quot;Infinity&quot; and it&#39;s sooo good.  <br /><br />Joey...have a great day&#33;<br /><br />Jen...that&#39;s so nice that Hugh is taking good care of you.  Hope you are feeling better real soon&#33;  Hugs&#33;  Just read your last post...you are sooo naughty&#33;  LOL<br /><br />Carmen...R...glad you are feeling a bit better.

I&#39;m still waiting &quot;impatiently&quot; for Spring here.  LOL<br /><br />Sue...have a great day&#33;<br /><br />Debbie...your camping trip with family sounds wonderful.  Being by the lake is magical.  I do miss that.  Used to love to sit around the fire at night, too.  At least when the mosquitos weren&#39;t so bad.  LOL  They can get pretty bad here in MN...at least farther up North.<br /><br />Carmen...M...Monique...it&#39;s so nice to hear from you...thank you so much for letting us know how your mom is doing.  I&#39;m so glad the surgery went well.  Send her our love.  She is still in my prayers.<br /><br />Maria...hope your knee is healing well.  Don&#39;t overdo on the housework and ironing.<br /><br />Tonia...I&#39;m sooo glad you went to the doctor and got your meds changed and are feeling better.
