10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat Cruise (I'm with BOB) Chapter #9

[A fat english gent]

Not sure if i'll be home by that time as we don't land until about 9.30am (i think)then we have a 3/10 hour drive up the M1...Yes thats right it can take anything between 3 and 10 hours to drive home....The M1 the most hated road in the world (besides the M6)....

Good morning all,

Robin sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope your Mom is ok. Our prayers are with your and you family.

Went to see Mamma Mia last night. Great movie. All you ladies need to go. Very entertaining and a lot of fun. James Bond singing was a little stange and he really does not have a great voice but it was really a great movie.

Hello Everybody

Hope you all are well.

Lovely weather today and yesterday (about times)

I saw on internet and I cannot image if it was happened to us and how we communicate (we are deaf family apart from hearing son).

Hi there

Its not nice in the Midlands - grey clouds and cold

I didnt realize you had a hearing son, how old is he? Do you find travelling stressful or are you used to it? I noticed in a lot of airports they no longer tanoy announcements anyway and tell you to watch the monitors. I dont know much sign language - just the letters so our conversations onboard might be a little slow as I try to spell everything - sorry in advance!

I couldn't even imagine how they felt. But then again, don't they announce when you board the plane where it is going? They do here (at least the ones I've been on). I can't believe they all fell asleep before the announcement. I can't sleep on a plane and don't even doze until we're at cruising altitude.

Depends on the airline Jeff whether they announce it or not, or even the staff onboard. Every flight we take we have to get them to do the nut announcement - last time I reminded them as I hadnt heard it and she said that they had already done it! - Now, I always listen very carefully for it, and hadnt heard a thing so I asked her to repeat it incase other passengers had missed it too. They do those announcements as people are still getting seated etc so the cabin is usually busy and fairly noisy, so it would be easy enough to miss it.

Not sure if i'll be home by that time as we don't land until about 9.30am (i think)then we have a 3/10 hour drive up the M1...Yes thats right it can take anything between 3 and 10 hours to drive home....The M1 the most hated road in the world (besides the M6)....

M6 - tell me about it

Laters people,have a wonderful week...

Its guaranteed Chris - as soon as my plane takes off on Thursday morning you will have 14 days of lovely weather. One time we went to Tenerife late in the season - UK had unseasonably hot weather for October and Tenerife had the worst storms in 50 years - I kid you not. It even made the Sun newspaper how bad the weather was in Tenerife.... we bought the Sun and read it sitting in a flooded bar

Even the airhostesses on the flight home were apologising.

Dry riverbeds burst their banks, restaurants and bars were flooded, and what had we got in our suitcases? - yep! - shorts and t shirts

We were soggy for the whole holiday

Mole Sauce?explain please. I have visions of a furry little animal being blended for a sauce

Never one for Mexican food, I've always had my stomach turn at MOLE sauce.

Oh, now that's a nightmare.

Just wanted to let you know that my Dad passed away around 2:30 AM this morning. He died peacefully in his sleep.

I got the call around 3 AM. We went down to the nursing home to be with Mom. We got her up so she could spend some time with him before they took him away.

Mom is doing ok. She's sad at times, but it tends to leave her mind occaisionally. I'm sure she'll be asking where he is from time to time.

It's been very hard, but I have such a feeling of relief. He is finally resting. Calling hours are Wed. evening with a grave side service Thurs. at 11.

We're hanging in there.

Thank you for all of your past support.

Robin

OH no. I am so so sorry!!!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

Good luck. Dont be too hard on yourself though, tret yourself with something small occasionally or you might be tempted to binge one day

So far so good this morning. I had a bowl of Special K with strawberries and only one cup of coffee. I can make it through lunch eating healthy but I always get caught at the afternoon snack. I need to make a good choice like Andy and the bowl of fruit.

Cass - Where do you get all the graphics and borders for your pages????

I thought you were MI5 though Chris.

Just as she is leaving the country. Some luck, hey Karen.

Suz wants to go see that (with me of course). Not sure when we'll have time. Never did get to "S in the City".

I'll let her know of your review.

Take it one day at a time - you're doing great

Do you like veggies - could you prep some raw carrot sticks and pepper sticks etc? Maybe dip them in a little hummus? Dont forget that fruit is heavy in sugar - I know its natural sugar, but its still higher in calories than veg. Or how about the easy option such as a slimfast snack bar - tasty and only 90 calories - quite filling too.

I just ate my Special K w/ Red Berries. That is some good stuff isn't it. I will eat it for dinner as well if we have nothing planned and I don't know what to have.

I eat other cereal as a snack sometimes too. They are usually low in WW points, 2, and you can have stuff like Frosted Flakes. That is a good way to get something sweet.

Side note, I looked at the WW points for one of the small Hostess donuts DS was eating this morning and it was 1 1/4 per donut (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter).

If you are looking for something good to drink during the day other than straight water, go to Wal-Mart and get their "Great Value" brand sugar-free lemonade. It is also sodium and calorie free. It is really good lemonade. Beats straight water and I find myself drinking more liquid that way at no cost to the diet.

Suz gave Nancy some of the Ice Tea they have (also sugar free). I don't drink that stuff, so I'll let Nancy comment on the taste.

Funny enough, I'm vegetarian so this shouldn't be too hard for me...I've given up more difficult foods. It's the sugar trap I tend to fall into.

Right now I'm feeling snacky so I'm eating a small bowl of pretzels.

I'll do carrots in Fat Free ranch dressing. That is the "bomb". I think Andy does eats them that way too.

Yes, it is pretty good! I like the chocolate special k, too...that's good night snack. I have two rough eating times throughout the day....around 2pm when I'm feeling tired and again around 8pm I feel snacky. I just have to keep healthy stuff in the house and not as much junk and it's easier for me.
