10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) Thread #21!

[cntkg1]

Most memoriable time on our Milwaukee trip, getting lost and finally meeting MG in the parking lot for that unforgettable "hug". Coupled with the excitement in seeing the MI group around a dinner table. We didn't want it to end, by standing in the parking lot late into the evening...

That was a great WITX meet Walt! We must have spent 2 hours in the restaurant and another hour in the parking lot. I remember Rachel went shopping and when she came back we were all still standing there yapping! BTW...I loved my big old hug from the both of you too.

Good Morning Everyone!!! I'm so far behind reading. I just have a minute before having to run the kids off to school. My parents sent an email this morning saying that they booked our kids to go with them on the Wonder for the three day cruise, the Thursday after our cruise is over. That means the kids will have some time at the parks in between cruises, a chance to be on another Disney cruise, and my dear hubby and I get three days to ourselves in Orlando. Win ... win for everyone I say. Their email said they "have early dining. There is no more staggered dining, main seating is 5:45". Does anyone know if this is the case with the 7 day cruises too? I don't have time to call now and their email said that they waited on hold for 1 hour and 15 minutes before being able to book. I'm guessing a lot of people are making use of the $99 per person coupon deal for the three day cruises that could be booked starting today.

I hope that everyone is doing well!!! I am soooooo looking forward to our trip in October. It will be neat to meet you all in person.

What fun for the kids and you alike. When I started reading I was a little afraid that we lost another BOBer, but I'm glad I was wrong. I can't help on the dining question either but we have a few well seasoned cruisers that can offer up that info. Some people around here know just where to go to get that info in minutes.

This is the first I hear of this, sorry. I'm sure someone else knows the answer to this, and I'm interested to find out what it is.

Looking forward to meeting you. If I haven't said so before, I'm Paige and I'm cruising with my DH, Rob. Our three children (DD15, DS13, DS9) are staying home with grandparents because it's too hard to take them out of school.

Hello Paige, I'm Nancy and cruising with my DH Chuck. Our 4 children (DS 28, DDIL 26, DD 25 and DSIL 28) are cruising with us because they don't go to school anymore.
Is it ok if we call you Sistah P?

Sure, you can call me that, but I think Jeff has other names for me as well.

Beautiful arrangements, Heather!

Well, our mortgage broker came back with some numbers today...not as good as we were hoping

We'll be paying about the same as we are now... although we are taking it over a shorter term. I nthe last two years we paid off 4 years worth of mortgage, and we're adding some savings into it, so we're now hoping to take on a 20 year mortgage instead of our 30 (which we'd reduced to 26 already), so in theory we've paid off almost 10 years in 2 years! , so thats the good part, just the monthly payments wont be reduced

Cant win 'em all I guess

Went to the chiropractors again this afternoon! - oh my god! - he did the usual pulling, cracking stuff then got a metal hammer type thingy on me all the way down my back! OUCH - IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING THOUGH! - I'M PAIN-FREE

 

[GOS]

Mine too, I sing the whole way through it



Love love love this one

Amazing

Thanks Karen. Rick favourite as well, but not for what you think. It's a great place for him to have a quick nap.

And I know what reply I would get from Rick if I nudged him

Karen--pain free, that's the way to be!!!


My knee surgery is scheduled for May 11th. My surgeon will be on vacation for two weeks starting next week, and I am switching insurance companies on May 1st, so May 11th was the first appointment I could get.

At least I won't be having surgery on my birthday, but I will be having it done on my brother Pete's birthday.....

Time for dinner, Beef Pot Roast tonight!!!

What kind of knee surgery is your sister having done?

I was hoping to have surgery the week of April 20th, oh well, at least I have the surgery scheduled.

Heather, gorgeous flower arranging!

And your mother's also

Karen, you're liking the chiropracter?

I've considered that but not sure what I think of them.

I have a herniated disc, but also some arthritis, don't know if chiro helps with the arthritis.

The spine specialist (that I wished would just give me surgery and fix it all quickly) only offered me injections.
Which he said might not work anyway
So I declined.

I've heard about a new procedure: spinal decompression.... some kind of manipulation that is supposed to put everything back in place.
Anyone know anything about this?
