10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #29

[gstroop28]

Whew - all caught up!

It's a dreary, rainy, cold morning here in Central Virginia. YUCK!

Becca spiked a little fever last night - but she's doing much better this morning.... I'm SOOOOO paranoid of someone getting the flu or a cold I'm on pins and needles (I think THAT is what is stressing me out so much!)

We are going to pack this weekend... Dave started yesterday and he's getting excited now. He's practicing for Karaoke night.... picked out a song and everything!! He's so goofy!!

Well - I better give the company SOME of my time today.... so I will have a job to go to!

I'll check in later today!

Well, I'm all snotty and snuffly today... thanks Ellis for sharing your germs and giving them to Mommy

I just need to pass them onto Neil now

Just bought all of the stock of cold remedies etc from the pharmacy and am now dosed up to my eyeballs on paracetamol and decongestant etc..

Kids eh! gotta love em or you'd kill 'em

Hope you feel better soon Karen!


Agreed!

It must be software conversion season!! We are upgrading our firm wide accounting software, but we are converting the back end from a Unix platform to a SQL server platform (that's for you there, Chaz!!) Thank goodness that it's almost a year long project and we are just in the infancy stages - so we have a long way to go.

Glad you will be on the ship when the go live is... LOTS Of headaches averted for you!!

Actually I never did anything like that, but I'd try it right now. Need some help?

 

[Karen Mouse]

So sorry you are sniffly (join the club!)

Awwww Ellis - loves his mommy and shares so good!!!!!!

Feel better soon, sista!!

Hope you feel better soon Karen!


Agreed!

Thanks everyone, I'm trying hard to shift it quickly. Theres plenty of time to get rid of it before the cruise. ... dont worry I wont sneeze on you all

Teresa is going to the salon tonight to have them look at her hair. Since I got fired, she wanted to try to color her hair at home, since the old color was fading, and her roots were showing. BAD IDEA! She normally is a medium brown, and she used a medium mahogany to try to go a little darker. It came out JET BLACK! She freaked out, spent about 2 hours in the shower, washing it with shampoo & dish detergent trying to strip it. Didn't work, so she's gonna have to go to the salon & pay them anyways. And no, I didn't dare take pictures; we were all scared for our lives (literally).

If you do, we'll just throw some fish at you! (do fish sticks count?)

Poor teresa, been there, done that myself.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I dont know how anyone can even eat fish... makes me gag just thinking about it. And as for prawns and shell fish stuff - eating whole bodies - whats THAT all about?

Hello, I am leaving for my cruise on Saturday and a wonderfully generous stranger is leaving some things for us on the ship. All she asked is we do the same for someone else. So if anyone is interested in a surprise send me your family name and cabin number. I plan to leave behind our clear over the door shoe organizer, halloween window clings that I think will stick on the metal doors as well, any leftover glow necklaces and anything else that does not fit in our suitcases on the way back.

PM me if you want it. My son is 3 and on his first cruise so would love to pass it on to a family in a similar situation.


*****I have a family to leave things for. Enjoy your cruise!

Wow! - what a lovely idea. I hope you have a fab cruise

Hi,

wow I found this late. I (24yrs) will be cruising with my mum and her partner Geoff. This is my 4th cruise and I will be celebrating graduating from Norland College in Bath (England) and am now a fully qualified Norland Nanny!
We got a letter from DCL saying that they would be Halloween celebrations on the cruise - so on the night they do it look out for a girl wearing a tutu and pointe shoes.

Welcome! - I'm Karen, travelling with hubby Neil and son Ellis. We're from the West Midlands. Theres several other Brits on this cruise too.

Read post 1 - it has lots of info on it about all of the other cruisers and meets etc

Hi Karen I sent you a message on the Dibb.

Fish, shrimp, and shellfish I can handle. What I CAN'T handle is haggis & blood pudding. Umm, no!

I won't eat any fish when I sit beside you, either!

 

[cntkg1]

Oh I love it! - I want one - I agree though - we'll need a sad faced Mickey

Then anyone who see's it will think we had a bad time on the cruise.

I trust he was only kidding cuz that's not a possibility!
N

No, she wasn't kidding at all Nancy.

Love it!!! But I agree with Joanne, Mickey needs to be sad!

No sad Mickey's on this cruise. Or....sad Angie's, or sad Karen's, or sad Joanne's.....or......

Do you at least have internet access during the down time?? If so, you can Dis and chat with us!!

Playing on the internet during normal work hours would certainly secure me a spot in the unemployment line Angie. When everything went bad around here last June, my personal emails were even being routed to the boss first before I could see them. I don't even use my email for non-business things anymore. In much better times I would be emailing BOBers all day long.

What a nice thing to do. Hopefully someone with some little kids will take you up on your kind offer.

Who thinks we can wrap this thread up before the cruise? I also have a goal to reach 5,000 posts before the cruise. Can it happen???

You can eat fish, just dont breathe on me afterwards

Theres no smoochers for Neil if he eats fish

Hi Karen I sent you a message on the Dibb.

I answered

I noticed months ago that you were cruising on the same date. I sent you a pm telling you about this thread, but maybe you didnt get it? What a shame - you could have been chatting for ages with us. Never mind, you;re here now, join in the fun!

As more people leave it's going to get harder!!
