I really missed seeing them but they promised they will be up to Pa. before school starts again.<br /><br />Robert - HAPPY BIRTHDAY.   Enjoy your special day.<br /><br />Martha - so sorry things are not going well with Lee&#39;s Dad.   Sending prayers your way for the entire family.   I know it is so hard with them being a distance away.<br /><br />Jim - sorry the meds don&#39;t seem to be giving your Mom relief.   Hope you find the right place for her soon.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures.<br /><br />Falina - looks like everyone had a great time at your party and you did a wonderful job on the cake (even with a bite or two out of it)<br /><br />Shaunna - Just missed you again this morning.

Our new cat Lucy is driving us mad with her constant &quot;talking&quot; in the mornings as she wants desperately to go outside.

She is beautiful but very social.  Steve calls her my ..well..here goes.....<br /><br />MY SCREAMING PUS.. CAT (but he leaves off the CAT)<br /><br />He takes great pride in that... don&#39;t know why it&#39;s always MY SP (cat) when he really loves her to death too.  She just yammers on to yammer...  we can sit and just talk back and forth and she keeps it up.  Don&#39;t know what I&#39;m going to do without her... once she is gone I&#39;m done for a while.  <br /><br />Andrea...I feel your pain.  Worst experience I had was with a little black cat I named Dexter.  He was no bigger than my hand and came along in October of 2003 which was the worst month of my entire life so in some ways it made him more special to me.  I think my son was the one encouraging him to live in our bushes.  Dexter became blocked and I&#39;m sorry if I told this story before, but it was a blockage and he couldn&#39;t pee.  We paid over 1000 to help him knowing it could happen again.  Got loans from my neighbors even.  It happened again and I had to face the fact that I couldn&#39;t pay any more.  My gosh that was hard...it wasn&#39;t just my cat you know.  My son had brought him home.  The suffering that poor thing went through during his last two days was something I still tear myself up over.  No more male cats ever.  That cat holds a special place in my heart and his loss hit me harder than any other pet loss before or after Dexter came along.  I know we are supposed to be kind and gently to all of Gods creatures and I had failed miserably.  <br /><br />Andrea you are doing the right thing.   We get a new animal and within the first few days something happens..it&#39;s the Prentice new animal curse.  Actually I think Dexter was the only animal it didn&#39;t happen to right away but he still got his in the end.  My cat (screaming pus...) managed to climb way up in the rafters and jump down.  Landed in a plant and a puncture wound in her paw.  My last dog Rocky (may he RIP), ran into our glass coffee table the very day we brought him home.  Bone chipped off in his ear and he had seizures.  That was a nice bill indeed.  He was such a good dog.  Nothing but trouble but a darn meek and sweet dog&#33;&#33;  Anyway, Andrea, maybe just maybe this will be it then and once the ear mites are cleared up you will have one healthy cat.<br /><br /><br /><!--quoteo(post=378998:date=Aug 11 2009, 11&#58;45 AM:name=Gregswife)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (Gregswife &#064; Aug 11 2009, 11&#58;45 AM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=378998\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Robert - wishing you a day as special as you are...<br /><br /><!--sizeo:6--><span style=\"font-size:24pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#000080--><span style=\"color:#000080\"><!--/coloro-->HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><br /><br />Have to take the dogs to the groomers today and then tomorrow, I have to get started on getting things ready for the visit of Greg&#39;s parents and sister next week.

I have not had a good couple of days.  Haven&#39;t been chatty but trying to occupy myself with stupid stuff and it&#39;s not working.  Yesterday Layla (my granddaughter) turned four.   Stephanie (DD) sent me another nasty text message.  Tried to call her and she refuses to talk - only wants to text and I refuse.  We got a call from old ex-idiot-boyfriend Keith the other day and he said that he was going for custody and has had Layla for quite some time now.  We saw the two of them from a distance a couple of weeks back (her and Layla together)..she went the other way, so we think he&#39;s just full of crap (not first choice of words) as usual.  But there is that doubt....no way she&#39;d give up on Layla.  But Keith has done this before and it was all lies.  I&#39;ve just got to put it all out of my mind but the worrying and pain over all of it has really gotten the better of me since yesterday.  The girl has absolutely no clue the living hell she is putting me through..well actually she should so there are those emotions to deal with as well.  We also saw Layla at the neighbors, remember?..and Keith would not have done that as he doesn&#39;t know them whereas Stephanie and the dude&#39;s sex slave (huge age diff), Eve, have been friends somewhat.  We are convinced they all do drugs.  That&#39;s a whole other story...he beats her, destroys property, we call the police, etc.  There goes the neighborhood.....   :::sigh::::  I&#39;m convinced there is no end to this but I do know in a few days I will have perked back up so until then.....  <br /><br />Steve, Gramps just cracks me up&#33;&#33;  <br /><br />I must have missed all this site trouble.  I&#39;ve had no problems whatsoever...  ::::knock on wood::::','Shaunna','Shaunna','2009-08-12 05:48:10',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(379056,5024,1,18,378081,'2009-08-12 05:51:56',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=379052:date=Aug 11 2009, 09&#58;34 PM:name=deb1220)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (deb1220 &#064; Aug 11 2009, 09&#58;34 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=379052\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->YAY&#33; I got right on this time......It remembered me <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> I hope it&#39;s straightened out&#33;<br /><br /><br />Steve.....as Jim said, you gotta love Gramps&#33;.....good for him&#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><b>Debbie, It didn&#39;t remember me...I guess I am very forgettable&#33; LOL<br /><br />Jason...I will get back to you with info when I have time.  in the mean time I still have to log in everytime now.</b><br /><br /><b>Gotta Love Gramps...More power to&#39;him&#33;  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/cool.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":cool2:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cool.gif\" /> </b>','55ChevyLady','55ChevyLady','2009-08-12 05:51:56',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(379057,5172,1,18,378081,'2009-08-12 05:56:46',NULL,'','Shaunna  ((((HUGS))))','cruisingcats','cruisingcats','2009-08-12 05:56:46',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(379059,5024,1,18,378081,'2009-08-12 06:00:14',NULL,'','GOSH&#33; Shaunna...I thought I was having a bad day...I am sooo sorry.

Summer is finally here, along with the storms.  Last Friday we were watching a DVD downstairs, and my aunt called and said there was a tornado headed right for us...we checked it out on the TV weather map, and by then the sirens were going off.  I hardly had time to get scared, and it passed right by us without touching down, thank heavens.  No damage.  I&#39;m starting to feel better today, except for this darn cough.  I get a tickle and then cough so much that I can&#39;t breath.  I hadn&#39;t planned on seeing the doctor, but I suppose that I had  better, just to rule out pnuemonia or bronchitis.<br /><br />Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone&#33;<br /><br />Andrea...so glad that Mickie is able to be home.<br /><br />Kevin...yes, Minnesota is definitlely a fisherman&#39;s paradise.

Did you do something that caused the problems or did they just come on?  Same question for your Shaunna...<br /><br />Jim, I did get my phone fixed....it had to have a program update - go figure.  I absolutely love my Voyager phone but I have never had a phone before that needed to have this done and so that is putting me off a bit.  I have had a cell phone for the past 20 yrs...starting with the huge bag phone in my car and I have never heard of having to take my phone in for a program update.

We only have 1 downstairs bedroom in our house, the rest are upstairs.  His parents are elderly and do not do the stairs, so they stay in the one down here.  It is the smallest bedroom in our house and has a pop-up trundle bed in it.  That room is also my sewing/scrapbooking/junk room, so in order for the bed to be able to be pulled out and popped up, I have to remove almost everything from the room.  I would normally move everything upstairs to one of the other bedrooms, but Greg&#39;s sister is coming also, so she will be using one of the other guest rooms and Scotty will be staying here, so he will be in his room.  So I am going thru everything, tryng to decide if I can get rid of stuff.  I have already taken down my sewing table and sorted thru a lot of stuff but still have a ways to go.

TGIF  Another week is ending and the days are getting shorter. It&#39;s  staying dark much later in the morning and getting dark earlier in the evening.   I guess it&#39;s time to send the kids back to school.   Not too much planned for tomorrow but Sunday we are going to Atlantic City on a bus trip with Jim&#39;s AL post.   Should be a fun day - haven&#39;t been there in years - but Jersey shore weekend traffic should be pretty bad and the trip should take twice as long.   At least we won&#39;t be driving - we can sit back and enjoy some adult beverages along the way.   <br /><br />Jackie - I sure hope the Dr. can help you with your back today.   I&#39;m sure your day seems twice as long working in such pain.    Hope Tony can get out of jury duty next week.    I&#39;m sure he will have a great time with Luc.   <br /><br />Cheryl - How did Scotty enjoy his first cub scout meeting.   He sure looked cute in his little uniform.<br /><br />Jenn - glad you finally had a quiet day.   You need that every once in awhile.<br /><br />Sheri - sending prayers your way for an easy, fast recovery.    My DD&#39;s niece just had her gall bladder removed last month and is doing great.   <br /><br />Steve - where are you?   Please don&#39;t make us send the Crazies Posse out after you.    Hope all is well and you are just busy.<br /><br />Jim - hope Mom had a better day yesterday.    Remember, your friends are here for you.<br /><br />James - glad to hear your car made it to NS fine.   Hopefully once you get the move completed things will quiet down and you can relax a bit.   I remember that the details involved are never ending.<br /><br />Donna - I just love that screened room.  Once you are in and settled, I&#39;m sure you will spend a lot of time there.<br /><br />Shaunna - how is your back this morning.

If we went down we would only get dragged into the pub by our friends. We are also trying to eat less, not so much on a diet with health foods etc, more a reduction in the amount on our plates.

Woke up to pea soup type fog this morning so will be waiting for it to burn off before I venture out.    Had a list minute unexpected sleep over with Ashleigh last night - TJ has a vicious stomach virus and can&#39;t hold anything down so she got sent to Nannie &amp; Poppy&#39;s for the night.    All was fine til 1AM when she decided she needed Nannie to sleep with her and the rest of the night was terrible.   That child was all over the bed and I do mean all over.   She is the most restless sleeper I have ever seen.   After I finally fell asleep around 4AM she woke me up again to tell me she was afraid I was going to fall off the bed, I was so close to the edge.  Actually I think I would have gotten more sleep on the floor.    <br /><br />Steve - so glad you got to check in - you know if you stay away too long we talk about you here. lol Enjoy the game tonight.   Glad you got all the plumbing working OK.<br /><br />Andrea - great pictures of your family.   Despite the mud they look like they had a ball (or did they have a ball because of the mud)<br /><br />Deb - how&#39;s the cat bite today?   I hope you aren&#39;t having any problems with it.<br /><br />Jackie - I&#39;m glad the chiropractor was able to give you some relief.   Hope it lasts.<br /><br />Jim - I hope they get your Mom&#39;s room fixed ASAP.    You certainly don&#39;t need that stress on top of everything else.<br /><br />Donna &amp; James - you should be reaching the home stretch with your move by now.    Do you have a definate move date set yet?  Once you get moved in, getting settled will make the time til ConnieGoesCrazie just fly by and you can board the ship and relax.<br /><br />Kevin - you usually have big weekend plans - what&#39;s on schedule for this weekend.<br /><br />Chris - Congrats to you &amp; Kath on the weight loss - that&#39;s terrific.  <br /><br />Sheri - I know you will feel so much better when Tuesday is over.

Despite the fact that I know we will do a considerable amount of sitting in traffic, I&#39;m looking forward to the trip.   We haven&#39;t been to AC in probably 4 years.   We used to go every couple of months when we lived in NY but when slot casino&#39;s came to Pa we stopped going to Atlantic City.   Should be a fun day.  Hope to be able to report that I won something when we get back, but regardless I know it will be a fun day.   Supposed to be hot today so if I begin losing I can go take a walk on the Boardwalk for a bit.   <br /><br />TJ seems to be over his &quot;bug&quot; - just hope now that Ash and Deb &amp; Mike stay healthy.    I swear that poor little guy gets everything going around but it did seem to last exactly 24 hours.    It&#39;s not like he is in day care all day and other kids bring the germs in - I have no idea where he picks up these things.     I guess he will always just be very susceptible to anything going around.   <br /><br />Well time to get moving and get ready.   If I have time, I&#39;ll check back before we leave.  If not, I&#39;ll check in tonight unless of course one of us hits the Jackpot (in which case we will be on the first cruise ship out of town.   lol)<br /><br />Make today special<br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-08-16 12:38:31',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(379557,2658,1,18,378081,'2009-08-16 15:29:39',NULL,'','A very Good Morning to one and all.

I brown a pound of hamburger, then a pound of bacon, and dice up an onion and add that...put the bacon into small pieces, and add...then add butter beans, lima beans, kidney beans, Bush&#39;s baked beans, ...a little more of those than the other beans, like two to one...drain the juice from cans, and add brown sugar, ketchup and mustard...more brown sugar and ketchup than mustard...I do it to my taste, and I like to have a lot of beans for variety and to make it look pretty...then let them simmer for an hour or so; everyone loves them.

Well we had an interesting trip to AC yesterday to put it mildly.   Came home with &#036;7.00 more than we left the house with so althought we didn&#39;t exactly break the bank, we consider spending the entire day in the casino a success and all our &quot;mad money&quot; will go back into the bank today.    I don&#39;t see too many more trips with this group in our future - I think we were a bit out of our league.   The bus pulled away at 9:10 and by 9:15 Jello Shooters were being passed around, by 10AM they were making some type of concoction where you 3/4 fill a glass with beer and then drop a shot glass full of some c*** into the beer glass.    One-half hour into the trip we got a phone call from the post that despite the fact that they remembered 5 ice coolers of beer, water and a case of assorted booze, they did manage to leave behind the donuts, bagels and lunch sandwiches.  The worst part was the &quot;people&quot; are all heavy smokers and since there is no smoking on the buses they had to act like little teenagers and spend most of their time in the bathroom sneaking a smoke.   Grow up folks&#33;&#33;  I&#39;m no prude and can party with the best of them but enough is enough.    The post is expecting a rather large fine from the bus company when the bus gets checked back in.    Most of the casinos are AC are all together but we went to one far away from the others and the heat made it too much of a trek up the boardwalk.   We walked about 2 blocks and the heat got to my breathing and we went back into the casino til it was time to board the bus again.    The ride home was just as interesting as the ride there and due to Sunday night shore traffic was nearly 4 hours instead of 2 1/2.    As I said, I really don&#39;t see any more trips with this group in our future.  OK enough of my rant.    <br /><br />Cheryl -enjoy your company and check in when you can.   I know how much work it is having house guest but it is also a lot of fun.<br /><br />Jackie - I&#39;m sure Candice is upset about going back to work but I&#39;m sure Grandpa is looking forward to having some alone time with his grandson.    I hope he doesn&#39;t get picked for the jury and has his days free to spend with Luc.   How is your back doing?<br /><br />Shaunna - what happened on BB last night.    For some reason Jim messed up the taping.   Guess I&#39;ll have to go online to watch it.<br /><br />Deb - looks like a fun day at the cruise show.   Glad you had a good time.<br /><br />Sue - hope you are feeling better.   <br /><br />James - How are things going with you Mom.  I hope they have her living situation all straightened out.   <br /><br />I had a lot more to say but just lost my entire train of thought so I&#39;ll go make a pot of tea, try and wake up and be back later on to continue.   Make today special.  <br /><br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-08-17 12:25:57',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(379614,274,1,18,378081,'2009-08-17 12:26:30',NULL,'','Jackie...thanks&#33;<br /><br />Since I don&#39;t have exact amounts you can just taste and test.

Another hot day heading our way today.  Had hoped the t-storms during the night would cool things off a bit but it seems they made it worse.

We have baseball game tickets for tonight but the rest of the weekend is empty so far.   Talking Ash for her back to school shopping today.   Our day out got cancelled yesterday when she had a reaction to her allergy shots. She  didn&#39;t feel like shopping but had recovered sufficiently by dinner time to go out with us for the steak dinner Poppy promised her and she cleaned her plate so I guess she is OK.   We only have next week to finish the back to school shopping as she starts on 8/31 and TJ starts the following week.   <br /><br />Add me to the list of those finding the links here very distracting.   Sorry Jason - like most of the improvements but sure don&#39;t like this one.  They are great in our profiles where we can find Crazies with similar interests or from our area but in the forums it is very annoying. <br /><br />Sheri - prayers going out to your nephew and his batallion.   It&#39;s good to see you posting.   Hope you are feeling a bit better every day.<br /><br />Falina (((hugs))) hope you get some good news from the bank today.     We are here for you.

When I was faced with a similar problem Jim was very much against me returning to the work force.    That is when I opened my own day care center in my home.   A bit of red tape but you set your own rules, spend all your time with your own child and help out some other Mom facing the problem of going back to work.   You can take as many or as few children as you like.    That is how Heather &amp; Caitlin came into our lives and became part of our family.    <br /><br />Jenn - you have been pretty quiet lately.

Hope you are doing better day by day and your surgery will soon be a distant menory.<br /><br />Linda - stay safe with Bill heading up the coast.    <br /><br />James - not too many more packing weekends ahead of you.   Then the fun begins - un packing.   <br /><br />Donna - Hoping for a good report from your surgeon yesterday.    Is everyone OK?<br /><br />Time to get a few things done and start my day.

We just hop on the 95 at Ann Rd. (by where we live) going North and the 215 exit is right there.  Sucks because you have to get on the frontage road and do a hop off the freeway and then get back on sort of like how the Rainbow curve used to be.  For you though if you were already on the 215 no worries..  We then hop on the 215 and go EAST and get off on Decatur.  Go left and then it&#39;s hidden in the big shopping center on the left.  Take the first left at the very next light and then stay on the right side and you will see it.  They have a new Best Buy plus a Cici&#39;s pizza.  It&#39;s Northtown but the upper end.  I can get Steve to go because he says it&#39;s the Las Vegas side of Decatur..LOL  For us it&#39;s closer than the haul all the way to Charleston and the 215.  <br /><br />Rose, no fear we HATE self checkouts and only use them if we have to.  For instance Fresh and Easy here only has self checkouts.  If a store employee prompts us to Steve says no unless they are going to pay us something for doing their job.   <br /><br />Going to get some cleaning done this afternoon.  <br /><br />My next door neighbor of 10 years is splitting with her husband.  She moved out today and told Steve as she ran into him.  She&#39;s known for a while but didn&#39;t say anything.  She was there when Steve left me and I guess I&#39;m a little hurt she didn&#39;t say anything sooner.  I know she has a lot on her plate.  It just seems weird.  I think they lost their house again and she blames him.  They originally owned their home and then after 911 lost it and had to sell it.  The new owners agreed to rent it back to them so they didn&#39;t have to move.  That happened to our good friends at the time directly across the street.  There were no jobs.  I hadn&#39;t gone back to work at the time so it didn&#39;t affect me.  Our homes by Vegas standards sold originally for 90,000 and when the housing market was good appraised at over 350,000 around that time. The value is back down to 120,000 and I&#39;m sure it is in foreclosure as they were told they only have two weeks to get out.  She told Steve that was the last straw so she is divorcing him.  Going to be strange not having them there.  They are the last of the original neighbors we have had when we moved in.  We are soooo ready mentally to move but are getting our ducks in a row first.  Need to hold out a couple more years.  <br /><br />','Shaunna','Shaunna','2009-08-22 23:42:06',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(380257,5172,1,18,378081,'2009-08-22 23:49:53',NULL,'','Shaunna sorry to hear about youe neighbors.

All of our stores (grocery, wal-mart, k-mart type stores) have more self check out than ones with checkers on them.    They more or less force you into using them.   Even our Home Depot just put some in.    <br /><br />Deb - glad you had a fun date night even if the game was awful.<br /><br />Ed - hope that knee is doing better today.   The thought of all that time in a cast is awful.<br /><br />Falina - still keeping fingers crossed for good news from the back.    <br /><br />Shaunna - how did you fit in with the new group?<br /><br />Jim - so sorry to hear that your Mom isn&#39;t able to eat more.<br /><br />James - drinks in St. Maarten sound fine to me.

Making up for all the non-summer days we had earlier in the summer&#33;<br />I don&#39;t have any plans other than housework, but I&#39;m sure I will find some more stuff to pack, and if I don&#39;t, James will find some for me&#33;<br /><br />Hope everyone enjoys a nice relaxing Sunday&#33;<br /><br />donna','rollerdonna','rollerdonna','2009-08-23 16:34:18',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(380284,2658,1,18,378081,'2009-08-23 17:12:31',NULL,'','&quot;Morning All.

Wayne is also trying to hold off on surgery for his ankle- something about a tendon. He&#39;s been wearing ankle brace and knee length boot for 5 weeks. Now just the brace , so we&#39;ll see. That , also, would be 6-8 weeks in a cast so he&#39;s not anxious. <br /><br />The phone company surprised us at 8:45 this morning. They were supposed to come on Tuesday. We had no phone service at all . One of our phones was damaged, or so he says , and messed up everything. He also replaced the entire phone box on the side of the house , so who knows what the problem really was but we&#39;ll be charged about &#036;120 since we haven&#39;t paid maintenance on our land lines for a few years. So, we still came out ahead. <br /><br />All schools, every store, every place you go, here in So. Florida, is air conditioned. So, the heat really doesn&#39;t bother me. I go from my air conditioned home to my car that cools off in no time, to the air conditioned stores. In the summer months, I just don&#39;t do my walking outside. <br /><br />Wishing everyone a great Sunday. School here starts tomorrow.

We bought a pre-paid membership for 24 Hour Fitness (their largest competitor here) and the club we wanted to go presented itself as a regular club and not a Sport.  The certificate is only good at &quot;some&quot; of the Sport locations.  New club wouldn&#39;t accept the certificate.  Well come to find out they quit putting up signs on their newest clubs that they are a sport.  Steve was especially angry because he used to (many moons ago) work for them and recognized it immediately as an entrapment gimmick.  He filed a complaint with the BBB to get our money back.  We finally just did so I&#39;m soooo happy to get to go later today.

The week is half over and I have a busy day today.   Heather &amp; Caitlin are coming up for a quick trip today.  I think they are looking for me to take them out to buy back to school backpacks and lunchboxes,   lol    Actually they have pretty full schedules this semester so they wanted to come up for a visit before they get too busy with their classes.   I can&#39;t believe they are starting their 3rd year of college already.   I&#39;m just so darn proud of both of them.   It&#39;s Cait&#39;s turn to pick the dinner menu and she has requested roast pork and crispy potatoes so I&#39;ll start off at the grocery store and work it out from there.   They won&#39;t get here til about 5PM as Cait has to work til 3PM and Heather has to work at noon tomorrow so they will leave as soon as rush hour is over in the morning.   <br /><br />Falina - glad things went well yesterday.  I&#39;m sure it will all settle down once the kids arrive.   When do they come back?<br /><br />Debbie - (((hugs))) for you, Zack and Evin this morning.     <br /><br />Chris - your day is nearly over and ours is just beginning here across the pond.   Hope things are going well with work and at home.     Will you son be going away to school or be going locally?<br /><br />Shaunna - good luck at the gym.   I&#39;m sure you might be a bit achy for awhile but it will be worth it in the end.<br /><br />Sheri - Maybe I&#39;ve missed your posts but don&#39;t remember hearing from you for a day or so.   Hope you are OK and recuperating nicely.<br /><br />Martha - How is Lee doing today?  Hope all went well with his test yesterday.<br /><br />Andrea - are you still having log in issues?   Missed hearing from you yesterday.<br /><br />Well it&#39;s that time again, time to get Jim up and push him out the door.    It&#39;s a long day for him but it&#39;s a lot easier on me not having him back home after 2 hours.   I actually get a few things done during the day.<br /><br />Make today special and share a smile with someone who needs one.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-08-26 12:31:36',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(380619,274,1,18,378081,'2009-08-26 12:45:49',NULL,'','Debbie...I&#39;m so sorry for your loss&#33;  Our pets are part of our family, and it&#39;s so hard when they go.

The creeks were just beginning to recede so it looks like more flooding is on the way.    Apparently Danny is going to wash out our weekend.<br /><br />TJ&#39;s had a great time at his very first soccer game.   It wasn&#39;t really a game, more a clinic to teach the kids the basics but he could not have cared less.   He got his team shirt and we had bought him his cleats and shin guards.    (They just about covered his entire leg) -He ran down the field kicking the ball and at one point missed and flew right up in the air and landed on his butt just like Charlie Brown in Snoopy.   It was so funny.    On the way back to the car he decided yesterday was the very best day he ever ever had.     Next game is tomorrow at 9AM but will be a washout.<br /><br />Sue - We are missing you - please check in.    We haven&#39;t seen you around lately and hope all is OK.<br /><br />Jim - (((hugs))) and prayers are with you today<br /><br />Steve- Good luck with that wisdom tooth today.   There must be an easier way to get a day off from work. :-(<br /><br />Cheryl - have a fun day out with the girls today.   I&#39;m sure you just might find something in DSW that you will like.     Happy shoe shopping.<br /><br />Falina - Glad things are getting a bit easier in school.   Both the kids and you need to find a routine that works for you and stick with it.   <br /><br />Ed - good luck with the physical today.     Glad you are all set for your trip to visit your DD.<br /><br />Jackie - 1 more day and then you will have the weekend to relax.<br /><br />Chris - What&#39;s on tap for the weekend?   Another trip to the Caravan planned?<br /><br />Martha - glad to hear you are not certified for Infectious diseases.   Did they ever get that mask for you.   Sounds like you just might be needing it this fall.<br /><br />James - sounds like you are coming down to the homestretch with the packing.    I believe the last 2 weeks before our move we had reached the point of paper plates, plastic utensils and take out dinners.   lol<br /><br />Donna - do you plan on continuing with Day Care work in Nova Scotia?  <br /><br />One last morning to get Jim up and out the door.   Won&#39;t be a happy camper this morning as it is pouring out.   It&#39;s been 3 weeks straight of work and he&#39;s just not used to it.   Add the fact that this last fill-in weeks has included several stops with several flights of stairs and he&#39;s one tired courier right now.    I think I need to look into doing something fun next week - next Thursday is our 43rd Anniversary so maybe a quick get-away would be fun.   <br /><br />Have a great day and take some time just for you.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-08-28 13:10:31',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(380792,2542,1,18,378081,'2009-08-28 13:27:46',NULL,'','Yay - it&#39;s Friday&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Oh Luc is too cute... as I told you he loves is books, well now he kisses each page with Elmo on and in another book there are little girls doing different functions on each page.

Been seaching the net for just the right hotel in Venice for our pre-cruise stay next October.  Think I&#39;ve found one that will work for us, but they are not taking reservation this far out, so we will have to wait until about November to get that nailed down.  And, I&#39;m not telling any of the 28 folks who are cruising with us which hotel it is until I get our reservations confirmed.  The hotel could hole us all, I guess, but I&#39;m not taking the chance.<br /><br />Good to see you back, Sue.<br /><br />Really enjoyed the pictures Andrea.
