Stacey is now confined to bedrest at home until Monday when she has another doctor appointment. They allowed her to go and take her exit exams at college last night. The doctor said no more college until after Katie gets here. Still might put her in the hospital we will find out Monday I guess.

Do you have to have a new swimsuit or is that just a lady thing. Guys just keep wearing the same one until it falls apart or we get too fat to get into it "Whats up with that"as Tulirose would say. I think that after 50 most guys are made by nature to have a built in shelf(tummy) so when we sit down we have some place handy to lay the remote control on

Everyone have a great day and we will check back in later. Mike

MY DOCS ARE HERE!!!!



My disneyland docs.......that is.

Wow, I just wanted to be the first to say that........Teehee!
Since I was the last to say it last time. Even the nice 9/22 cruisers were feeling sorry for me last year!

Wow the Disneyland docs sure have changed. They put them in a nice folder just like the cruise docs though. They sent out lots of coupons etc. Its just disneyland......but, i'm getting excited.



Mike and Kathy- just well wishes and big hugs for Stacey and Katie. Bedrest is no fun. I had to drop out of school, and I never got the chance to go back. I just bawled the day I had to quit. Had to have my DH leave work and come and get me.
Take care........
smiles Patty

Goofy Nut-

In response to your question about the kids, my DD10 and RellingTwin's daughter have been emailing each other. We are very surprised at how much they have in common--especially the EXACT same birthday!!! They think that is "Way Cool"!

Stacey is doing better. I had a drill today with the TN State Guard and now there are dishes to do and dinner to fix.

I did manage to squeeze in a geocache today. Exercise is vastly overrated. I concluded this after huffing and puffing my way back to my truck in the 80 degree weather. Have to run. Mike

 

[papa]

Hello everyone,
Just got off the phone with Stacey and she is "being good" even has the cordless in the chair with her and watching old movies. Katie seems to like Sesame Street best though. She kicks more when that is on.

Stacey seems to be feeling better today also and not seeing the stars as much. I bet Monday the doc sticks her in the hospital.

Patty, I was lurking last night at the hospital and when I saw your "DOCS ARE IN" I almost had a heart attack. I thought "OOH, maybe we'll get ours next Monday" then I remembered... it's just April. But there, briefly, you had me. Don'tcha just love these boards?

Gotta go get my bath, and get ready for work. Mike is fixing breakfast for dinner. Fried potatoes with onions and bell pepper, scrambled eggs, hot biscuits with strawberry jam or grape jelly, fresh, hot Community Coffee, from Lousianna. And gravy. Why can't I loose weight?

Mike just reminded me that the Magic sails in a little while. Gotta go to the Two Palms site and watch, then bath. Bye, take care, Kathy

 

[papa]

I just saw Magic go by! Take care, Kathy

It's too cool that the kids on the boards are getting to know each other before we sail. Let's face it, we're ALL kids here.

 

[Twinave]

Can't believe I missed seeing the Magic again! I have logged on the site with the camera 3 Sat. in a row, but have missed it each time. Oh well, there's always next week.
I've been bidding on e-Bay for a Tuxedo for my DS, but I got out bid again. I just refuse to pay more for a used tux then it would cost for a new one. But this one was soooo cute, size 4, black with tails!
Spent the morning at our first ever Employee Yard Sale. We had it to try and raise money for The March of Dimes. All the employees donated items for sale. Some of the docs even helped out. The sale was suppose to start at 9am, but the shoppers were there at 7:30. Luckily the rain held off till noon, and we raised over $500. And my "team" was the only team to have 100% participation. Go Team! Also bought a very nice garment bag donated by one of the docs for $1. Needed one for the cruise. One item down 999 to go.
Got to go feed the family, McDonalds here we come. Ave

 

[GoofyDisney]

Just wanted ya'll to know...IT WAS 70 DEGREES HERE TODAY!!!!!!!!!! I actually raked my yard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We played bubbles and swang on the swingset and colored on the driveway and played with the dog and met the neighbor kids and bought Annabelle her first bike and helmet. This evening we went for a plane ride and for the first time EVER Annabelle used her headset. Once she figured out she could hear herself in the headset when she talked into her mic, it was done! She is in the back singing, "THIS IS MY GARDEN, THESE ARE MY FRIENDS..." at the top of her lungs while DH is listening for traffic. hehehehe

What a beautiful day here! Wish all of ya'll could have joined us!!!

Have a great weekend! Can hardly wait for September!

 

[RellingTwin]

TwinAve...way to go on the March of Dimes yard sale! Have you tried looking at the PORT Camera? The Magic was on it most of the day today.
Keep tring e-bay. It took a few times before I got DS and DH tux, but it was worth it. This time of year lots of planing for Spring/Summer weddings. The suppy will increase and demand decrease in July.
I LOVED the Garbo quote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PeaGreenID.....you had me too! Just for a second!

Kimber...DD is thrilled to have made an cruise friend. She has a school mate spending the weekend with us. I took them all to see Snow Dogs today. Cute movie. I love Cuben Gooding Jr. He was very funny.

@GoofyNut...Regina informed me today that the bathing suite I just bought for her (at K-Mart closeing sale) dosn't fit! Of course, all sales are final. UGH!!I hate it when that happens. I did get myself one, and it fits



Mike and Kathy, good news on DD. I am glad to hear she is taking it seriousley. Did you get the info I e-mail you on "Side Lines"?

Last year it was rumored that Tiger Woods would be on board with us. But it turned out to be just that...a rumor.
If I could pick someone to be cruising with us it would be.......
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and his family! Who would you all pick???

 

[Twinave]

I already got my wish for who I want to cruise with. It is my best friend and wombmate, twin sis Rellingtwin and her family. After all, her children are geneticaly mine as well as hers. And our children are more than cousins. My daughter refers to Regina as her sister-cousin and George as her brother-cousin. Of course this completely confuses our hubbys, but thats the way we like them, dazed and confused. They tend to obey without question that way.
But if I had to pick it would be Carly Simon and her kids. (James Taylor could come too)

[Tulirose]

Twinave - What a lovely post about Mary and her family! I can tell niceness runs in your family!

 

[papa]

Hey Tulirose How are you and the rest of the long island branch of the family doing? If you keep hanging around on this thread you will be infected with got-to-go-itis and you will have an irresistable urge to cruise with us budget be darned.(Had to clean it up after all this is a family board.) Good to hear from you and wish that you and Rich along with Richie were able to make it. Miss ya.

Finishing up my dad's income taxes today so I am going to have to keep it short.

Ave since you and Mary are identical twins can you both claim a double deduction on your taxes? A guy can hope can't he? Tell everyone we said hello and have a great day catch you later after I finish pulling what little bit of hair out I have left. Mike

PS- Rosemary we have our fingers crossed for next year. I don't know whether or not we will be able to do back to back, but would love to cruise for 1 seven day with you, Eric and the rest of the 09/22 bunch on Cruisetoberfest II in 2003.

RellingTwin ~ Tried to post a picture but apparently did it wrong. Not that you are missing much ~ Will try again soon. Or maybe have DS do it. She comes home tommorrow after having been gone for about 4 months. Good news is I got the house clean between playing golf and watching the Masters. Bad news is I leave for Alaska in about two weeks - If she doesn't come to visit me then I don't see her again until the cruise. Other good news is that if you send her the logo, she can probably do some work on it - she has missed her sewing room VERY much.

GoofyNut ~ Thank you for noticing my absence - Always nice to be remembered. Been pretty busy. Went off to WV and back. Golf, work, golf, clean house, golf, prepare for drive from BAMA to Alaska, and I have no idea what else . Will try to get Alabama involved here before I go "North to Alaska". Arrive just in time for the King Salmon run on the Kenai.

HH&GB to all

Guess we know who has the longest commute to work. Power Alaska!!

Finished taxes for my dad. He is wanting to run down to Georgia tomorrow and pick up a big game ticket. Jackpot is up to 300 Million. Mike

 

[Kelsie]

Hi papa,

It looks like we will be Cruising together again I just made reservations!

 

[RellingTwin]

Welcome Kelsie! How many in your party?If you would like to be on the official "LIST" e-mail me your info (name/age of your party, occupation, hometown,e-mail address, cabin #, early/late seating) I will add it to our growing list and send you a copy of the next update.
Were you on the 9/22/01 last year with Papa?
You are the 2nd "DIS Moderator" to join our gang. "Wendy" will be sailing with us also.

Mike, how did the taxes go? I hope you got them done and in the mail. What a nice son you are to do that for your dad!

Power-Alaska, It took awhile for my picture to show up on the Family Album. About 9 years ago I was working at a Bed/Breakfast Hotel in Aiken SC (just outside Augusta). During The Masters we were VERY busy. I was walking out the side door to the hotel and Lee Travino was walking in. Neither of us were looking where we were going and ran into each other HARD! I was so embarrassed! He was very nice about it and said it was his fault. I called my dad that night (he was a BIG fan) and told him "I ran into Lee Travino"!!! Well, that's my "brush with fame " story.
Looking forward to "meeting" your better half.
How long a drive is it from Alabama to Alaska??

 

[papa]

Hey Kelsie, glad to have you with us. We finished up dad's taxes and the check is in the mail Mary when my mom passed in 1996 that was one of the jobs that she assigned to me Keep your fingers crossed for a winning ticket tomorrow night.

Stacey went to the doctor today and things are looking better since she is doing what she is supposed to. Doctor is going to deliver at 37 weeks.

Boy there were a lot of cars from Nashville headed to wildwood georgia today. I wonder how many played lottery flu from work?

Come on September!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[power_alaska]

Rellingtwin ~ About 4500 miles (+/-) depending upon the route and my "wanderingways". Golf courses, trout streams, mountains, museums, and zoos have addictive attractions for me. This trip will probably be a no nonsense - few stops kinda haul. At least that is what I say at the moment - will see momentarily.

Bama is home - life is good.

Good morning all. DS cut the grass for me yesterday and I guess that I will have to fire up the weed eater and do the trimming.

Does anyone know whether or not disney is putting any digital photo kisoks on the ships? Sure would be nice to be able to print my photos without having to lug the laptop and my photo printer along Guess that when I return home I will just have to put them on CD's to send to people that are in them.

Just a quick poll. Ladies how many of your husbands every ask for directions when they are driving in a strange town?
(This should be good) Guys any information diviluged cannot be used against you. No hurt feelings either. I hate to ask for directions. Mike
