Hey fellow Bobalosers, since it it so nice here this morning, I didn't need to add on the extra warm "undergarments" in not having to do that, I was able to get down to the last notch on my belt. Looks like I might have to buy me a smaller size belt very soon............:banana: :banana: :banana:

great job Andy. Walt and I know how exciting that is. Diane:banana: :banana:
 
Well off to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a great day!
Jeff get those taxes done, and pay off that cruise! Did you get the email about the $5 per Mexican port they are charging for now? I didn't get it, but I know a KKer that posted it on the darkside page. This is for all cruises that go to a Mexican port, transition, western, and the ones that go to Costa Maya

*****Always remember that government fees and taxes can be changed at anytime***** Disney Cruise Line has just sent out this announcement and we wanted to make sure that
everyone knew........


Sean and I paid for our last month so I guess we are free and clear for the charges.
 

My poor Charlie Tuna got slapped with the flu yesterday. :sick: I never saw him so sick. I've locked him in the spare bedroom, made sure he has plenty of liquids and a clear shot to the bathroom. :guilty: He's taking his first sick day in 14 years! I, on the other hand, make sure that I take all 6 sick days I get every year whether I'm sick or not! (You lose 'em if you don't use 'em.) He gets paid at the end of each year if he doesn't take any. :yay:

:hug: Big hugs for Mr Tuna Nancy - hope he feels better soon.:hug:

Karen that's so exciting! What are the dates you are going and where are you staying? This would be the first Christmas holiday in 5 years that Woody is not on call. We may be able to swing a few days in sunny Florida!

I bet if you didn't wear anything but the belt you could get it down another notch or two. :scared1: Just watch out that you don't buckle anything. :scared:

Seriously, great job on the weight loss Andy. :thumbsup2
 
:wave2: Hi Jeff! Missed you yesterday! Have fun with the taxes. :headache:

Hi Shelley.

Taxes are fun. Plus they help pay for my vacations. :cool1:

What frustrates me are the people that are clueless with their finances. The worst are the people that live way beyond their means. They are the reason we have problems in the housing and credit markets. But I just get paid to do their taxes. Not certified as a CFP.
 
Well off to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a great day!

Is that $5 per port ($15 for each person in our case)? That would be $45. Almost 1/2 of the $100 they wanted to charge for the Canal fee.

When does it go into effect? May put the repo on the card quickly before the new charge occurs.
