Hi Everyone!
The Brunch list is growing. Now if I could just remember where I put it?
Cathy, love your work story! I get the same kind of thing.
Patient: I need a refill on my medication
Me: OK, what is the name of the medication?
Patient: I don't know.
Me: OK how many mg is it?
Patient: I don't know.
Me: How many times a day do you take it?
Patient: Well I'm suppose to take it twice a day, but most of the time I forget to take it in the morning.
Me: What is the medication for?
Patient: I don't know, but it's a small white pill with a line on it. Don't you have this information in my chart.
Me: Well yes, but we have you on 12 different medications. I'll tell you what, just have your phamacy call me. What pharmacy do you use?
Patient: Eckerd
Me: Which one? (There are only 12 in Panama City)
Patient: The one right near my daughter's house, she always picks up may medicine. She is such a good daughter. But that husband of hers...........



Eric, Yes you can take your LOTTO winnings home with you, but the rule is you have to give 50% to the person who invited you to FL. (That would be......ME!)

Got to go work on the Brunch List. Update soon.

Later,
Avé

Please let me know when you get them.

Thanks,

Reneé

Here is the info on Lunch.

Where: Parrot Cay (Seafood Buffet)
When: 10/7 12 noon (day at sea)
Who: Eveyone in the Cruisetoberfest Group (Kids included) And friends we've met along the way.
What: It's just an informal gathering of Disers. No additional cost, no "real" reservations required. My plan is to give the dinning room manager a heads-up with a approx number the day before.
Why: We had a GREAT Brunch at Palo in 2002. We tried to repeat it in 2003 and everything went wrong. We were not happy campers. So we came up with the idea of just invading one of the dinning rooms for lunch.
How: Just e-mail me, Twinave@aol.com, PM me, or reply on this thread, and I will add you to the list. So far we have 38 people.

One more note. This will be one of the last times for the group to
get together. We can plan our day at Castaway Cay, take pictures, and exchange e-mails addresses. So bring your camera!
Later,
Avé

Tracy and Bill have joined our happy brunch bunch! Anyone else? More is Better!!!!

And I though lawyers were the only ones to get those types of phone calls!!

Honest to goodness recent phone call:

Hello, I need a lawyer

I'm his paralegal can I help you?

I need a lawyer

What type of case do you have sir?

I don't know, I need a lawyer.

I will be happy to assist you with any questions, but I need to know what the issue is.

I told you I don't know, I need a lawyer.

What is you question for the lawyer, perhaps I can answer it for you.

I said I don't know, I need a lawyer.

Are you getting the picture here. This went on for another minute or so at which point I told him when he could explain his situation I would be glad to assit him with speaking to a lawyer.

That's only one of about 10 I get a day like that.

The girls at work made a sign for my office door that says Krazy People "R" Us. I seem to get them all.

 

[RellingTwin]

ROTFLMAO! Love the stories! I have "phone duty" 2 X a week at work and it always floors me! Great example:
A nurse at a doctors office in another town called and asked if we could see this patient.(She had never been seen by our office before). She was going to be in Charleston and needed to be seen as soon as possible. I asked what the problem was but of course, no information was available. So..I told her (the nurse) to have the patient call and we would get her worked into the schedule. She shows up, (late) and when asked the reason for the emergency visit, she says she has been "dizzy and tired" (BTW I work in a OB/Gyn office). When asked how long this has gone on, she says "ever since I had my baby"...OK...how long ago was that?....Oh, about a year ago.
I SO wanted to ask her what made it an EMERGENCY TODAY..but kept my mouth shut.

I just got back from seeing "The Notebook". What a great movie. Very sad, but very good!

Kids info for the kids list will be sent soon.

Ave, the lunch sounds great!

Twinave: don't remember now if I signed up for the brunch, (losing what little of my mind that I have left). If not please add me, if I did, please ignore. Thank you.

Today was Kathy and my 32nd anniversary. We met on this day back in 1972. Our wedding anniversary is September the 1st. We married after about a month's engagement.

Sure do miss the countdown timers.

Put us on the list Ave. Can't remember whether we have already notified you or not. Mike

Congratulations, Mike & Kathy

32 years probably qualify you for parole

Invitation Does that mean that we're your guests and you pay for everything? I'm just asking because our tickets and the rental car are due in 6 weeks Shall my TA send the bill to PCB?

Ave:

Not sure if we responded for the brunch..if not please include Andy and me.

[fridayfun]

jeanniec - DH and I are going to Palo on the
monday of our cruise. Sure would like to see our counter also! Going to DH's family reunion this weekend, so hope everyone has a perfeectly sunny, dry one!

 

[ARLO1]

I know this has been brought up before but I am starting to make hotel/rent a car reservations now.

Can anybody tell me about Ron Jon and what kind of rates they charge. Are there any discounts available?What about the Ramada?

Please let me know. We would love to be able to party with you guys the night before the cruise...

Arlene

 

[cdnmickeylover]

We are not going to Palo for dinner. I'd like to try the tea but Jim doesn't want to go anywhere near the place after last year.

We are staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise. Didn't figure we'd have enough time to enjoy Ron Jon's since we won't get there til Friday afternoon.

Got my magnet Renee. Very, very cute.

Congrats to Mike and Kathy! 32 years is amazing.

We want to go to the brunch -- like Mike said a long time ago we can wear shorts (not something we've been wearing a lot of lately!!) It's supposed to get hot this weekend but that just means that it will rain and be hot which has been the pattern so far this year. Everyone here is waiting for summer to start.

Want the countdowns back!

Fiona

 

[ARLO1]

Sorry I meant the Radisson not the Ramada..any info on the rates for the Radison?

Arlene

 

[cdnmickeylover]

There is an internet rate at the Radisson for $85 plus taxes if you book through their website. There are strict cancellation rules but unless I keel over this cruise is a done deal.

Renee got a great rate at Ron Jon's but can't remember what it was.

Don't forget we are meeting at the Grills for dinner Friday night for anyone who will be at the port.

Really looking forward to this vacation!

Fiona

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

jeanneg...we never go to Palo's for dinner--I am not real impressed with it and to be honest, I was a little disappointed in the brunch up there and the hassle that they gave to Avé.

Avé...what is this seafood brunch...Sam loves any kind of seafood but there is no way I would voluntarily eat it (well maybe scallops!!) so do you know if they serve anything else? I would be willing to go but only if there are other choices--maybe I'll do lunch in Lumiere's and only eat dessert there!

Arlene...we are staying at Ron Jon's--I think we paid $79.00 for the one bedroom with kitchen??? I will look in my cruise folder to be sure and I can email you. I know that there was an AAA rate and also a Florida discount rate but as soon as I have a chance, I will let you know. We are not getting in until Friday at nine (into Sanford).

Fiona...I actually would like to try high tea at Palo's--maybe we could send the guys off somewhere and a few of us girls could do it???

 

[ARLO1]

Mary Jo:

I just called Ron Jons, the studio with the AAA disacount was $108 per night and they had no Florida resident discount. The price you got is great...If you do have any info for me let me know. It would be truly appreciated.

By the way disney called us and upgraded us from a room with 2 portholes to a room with a picture window. I'll believe it when I get my confirmation from them..

Yet another one of those days ... now hear this, FULL MOON GO AWAY!

To the "Brunch Bunch Leader" ... sign us up (Art & Cathy with @ C). This sounds like such a better idea and IT'S FREE!

Mike & Kathy ... Congrats, 32 years since you first met .... and you still carry on like kids. Wait I take that back, you may still chase each other around but now it's more like a slow trot instead of running!

Mike ... about St Thomas, I know we won't be walking the "5 minutes walk" to K-Mart this time (hehehe) Does Kathy still have her connection there? Think about what you'd like to do and let us know.

I've printed out the coupons for "Grills" and put them in my "DIS Binder", along with the Crew Thank You cards that I downloaded and printed out.

Did someone mention that they were interested in looking for "Hidden Mickeys" ... let me know and I'll e-mail you the little booklet that I did up.

I'm going without being able to see the counter some of you have on. I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I HAVE TO WAIT!

 

[Viking]

Cathy,
we still have that booklet. It's lying in front of me besides my screen!!!

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Arlene...I just emailed you the information that I received--we got a studio not a one bedroom--for one night I figured that it would be sufficient although Sarah will be mad that she has the sleep sofa!!
