09/13/09 SSMC09 S.S. Member Cruise 2009 - Part 3!

[bsusanmb]

Feeling pretty good considering everything. Still not 100% with energy -more like 80%. Hair is a lot thinner so I'll be wearing a hat on CC. All in all I can't complain. Looking forward to seeing everyone and having a nice restful cruise.

That is great news, Mary. I know you must be so tired of the chemo. Don't worry about your hair...I am balding on top and have no reason to be balding!!
My scalp is so red all the time...that's why I need a hat!

Your farm needs some tending on Farmville when you feel up to it. Mark's looks great!

Don't know how you have the energy to keep up with everything...God bless you!
Susan

That is great news, Mary. I know you must be so tired of the chemo. Don't worry about your hair...I am balding on top and have no reason to be balding!!
My scalp is so red all the time...that's why I need a hat!

Your farm needs some tending on Farmville when you feel up to it. Mark's looks great!

Don't know how you have the energy to keep up with everything...God bless you!
Susan

Susan - I'm afraid my farm on Farmville is never going to look like much. I only joined because Mark needed additional neighbors to expand. I've also become neighbors to others for the same reason. Mafia Wars and Farm Town keep me plenty busy over on Facebook.

hi I am not on facebook so can i ask a dumb question. What are these things you guys are talking about

Mark,

They are games. We are all addicted to and they are very time consuming. But fun.

Mary - i will stop sending you things for your farm now that I know. This way you don't have to deal with the request.

Oh ok thanks for the info.

 

[cquick]

Mary and Mark, I don't do the games and the farm or other extras on facebook either. I just like to look at pictures people post of their families and vacations and I like to read what they are doing every day.

 

[erionm]

I simply block those apps that I don't want to see requests for. Farmville and Mafia Wars are two that I've blocked.

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

As of this morning I am officially done with chemo!

GREAT NEWS!!!

[cquick]

Yeah tough start this am. My DW called last night while I was at soccer practice with my DD, her truck quit running. She was an hour away, so I took my DD home and drove up to give her my truck while I waited for AAA. When AAA showed up they went to load up the vehicle and ripped the trailer hitch right off our truck, then his cable broke and he couldn't load it at all!! They called for a second truck, long story short, I ended up getting home at 12:45 this am. We still don't know what is wrong with her truck, but hopefully by the end of the day they get it figured out. So, I stayed home this am and got he kids on the busses, while my DW took my truck to work.

OMG!!!! What a day you had yesterday! I hope today goes more smoothly for you!

I have had fun today, I bought 2 tomato plants and 1 bellpepper plant and put them in the ground,

and I have been getting bags ready for our Hunter's Creek Women's Association Membership DRive party tomorrow...It's called MARTINI'S AND MASSAGE!!! I am in charge of the garage sale table, and I am selling 50/50 raffle tickets,and I got the massage therapists all lined up, AND I am the treasurer, so I will be signing up new and old members tomorrow! It's going to be so much Fun!
I am serving GARAGE SALE GIMLETS!!!! mmmmmmmm my favorite!

Called this number today just out of curiosity to see what the difference was in the Gold and Platinum members levels, and they have no information on it at all as of yet. Interesting! Another one of those Disney secrets!! Maybe this will be revealed at the same time as the other cruise news on sept. 11.

I read this on a different thread:

Disney's Castaway Club is changing. Basically they are going to do a teired system.

Silver will be for people who have done 1 - 5 previous DCL cruises. You basically get what you get now with this - 90 day booking window and gift and lanyards

Gold will be for those who have done 6 - 10 previous DCL cruises. With this you get an extra gift such as flowers or chocolate and 105 day window for booking trips etc and lanyards

Platinum will be for those who have done 11 + cruises. For this you get a better extra gift such as free Palo and the 105 booking window and lanyards.

Gold and Platinum Members also enjoy early booking opportunities for new itineraries and new ships

Or at least this is what they are telling us as as yet it hasn't been fully implemented on the website. There's also rumours that the lanyards & key to the world cards will vary between levels.

Hope that helps.

Yes dave i have read the same thing and seems like lots of discussion if it will be days on ship or just each cruise counts. I would like to go on the new ship but I would wait until the summer and don;t have to be the first on the new ship.

I would love to be on the maiden voyage, I just think that would be too cool
