Cruisetarp: sounds like you had a great time.  I love the Beach boys – saw them perform after a Padres game in San Diego many moons ago.  Thanks for the words of encouragement – I will pass them on to “Nate the Manâ€.<br /><br />Zebra: Thanks for the welcome.  As you can see I am checking in - and checking out what others have been up to.  Good luck on the transition (it sounds like you need it – eekk).<br /><br />Lovelypinky: sorry to hear about Pappy – hope he’s fine.  Where in Michigan are you from?  I’m a former Michigander myself.  Grew up in Swartz Creek – lovely spit of a town just west of Flint.<br /><br />Mercedes: I will pass on your good wishes.<br /><br />Teacp: sounds like not only the handy work is a keeper but so is Ken&#33;  Love handcrafted things.  We have a couple tables my FIL made.  Thanks for the welcome too&#33;<br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita:  I hope to be around awhile – just hope you don’t get sick of my attempts at humor  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> .  You’ll see what I mean in a minute.<br /><br />Joey: Good afternoon.<br /><br />Skipper:  Thank you for the welcome.  I have only sailed out of Galveston once and that was on RCL.  Stayed in Houston near friends the night before on that one.  For the April cruise we are going down day of but the September one – now that’s going to be so much fun.  So I want a nice place but not too pricey.  We have saved lots on the cruise though (with the military discount I got 3 cabins) so if we do have to pay a premium so be it.  I have booked the Harbor House for now - as it is the holiday weekend and I don&#39;t want to be stuck without anything.<br /><br />Gregswife: So the Cheryl’s UNITE.  I like that  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />   Our weather has been nuts here also.  <b>88</b> the other day and then 40 the next.  Just nuts.<br /><br />Well – on to my reason for posting (besides checking up on everyone).<br /><br />I get things throughout the day from my friends.  You know emails that tell you do this or do that, send 10 copies and something wonderful will happen – don’t and your fifth cousin twice removed may die.  Anyhow I got one today that I would like to share.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />Now don&#39;t cheat on this one, go with the first dessert you choose&#33;<br />If all of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one)&#33; Trust me...this is very accurate.<br /> <br />Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you. 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" />
