11/22/08 Thanksgiving 2008 cruise thread. Double Dipping Travelling Turkeys!

[seadooken]

I had forgot about that commercial! Thanks for posting the link. I also watched the video of the Wonder as filmed from the Magic about 10 times! I can't hear that horn enough!
Went to the dentist and it seems the root canal that I had done with the crown covering it was messed up. He had to crush the remainder of the tooth and dig and pull the rest of it out. It took an hour, he was swearing because it was so tough and I was ready to lose my mind. I am swollen and have stitches and he sent me home with a script for vicodin. I took one a while ago,and I think it's starting to work. I should be useless in about 15 minutes. But Linda told me this morning at least it happened now and not on the ship.What a day! I did get my t-shirt supplies though so it wasn't a total loss.

Stacie - How is Gerrit doing?

OUCH!

Do they have you on a liquid diet? Margaritas are liquid, in case you did not know . . . .

 

[seadooken]

Gas is $4.09 a gallon across the street from our subdivision. Are you all seeing the same thing?

 

[VAgal76]

Oh, my, Judy. Sending some chicken broth your way (though I think margaritas would be better....frozen to numb the pain and all). Get better soon!

Guys, the Magic is still resting nicely in Norfolk, VA. There wasn't anything exciting happening. They've completely "hidden" the bottom with the black tarp so I guess engine work is underway. I was hoping to see something ~ anything cool or exciting. No such luck, but it was a good day spent down there. It was HOT! I'm uploading pictures now, but there not going to be spectacular like the other poster has been debuting. At least she saw workers milling around and you can see the bottom of the vessel. It WAS the talk of the ferry. I had a couple ask me a ton of questions - cost, activities, best time to sail, etc. I must have that Disney Dork look about me or they were listening to me point things out to my SIL that will be sailing with us.

I had soup and another vicodin for dinner. I think alcohol would send me right over the edge! Feeling noooooo pain. I'm actually having a bit of fun. We went to our local bar/restaurant for a late dinner and they had a DJ playing old disco music. I wanted to dance! Tim wouldn't so I just ate my soup, watched the Pirates play terrible ball and sang and boogied in my seat. I would say Tim was embarrassed but this bar is such a wreck I fit right in. A lot of the guys still have mullets and the women all wear tight things they shouldn't. It's a Pittsburgh throwback!
Stillers tomorrow at 1PM. Go Stillers!!!

Why isn't my banana (above) dancing?

I paid 3.59 this morning and Tim said it went up this afternoon to 3.75. It will probably be over 4.00 by tomorrow morning.Damn hurricanes. No good can come of them I tell you! They're like mosquitoes. What purpose do they serve?

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. The swelling is going down and I don't look like chipmunk face any more.

 

[lexandme]

I just looked back through the thread and all of the bananas are motionless. I wonder why they're not dancing anymore? They just froze.

Woo hoo! I got moved to the Main seating! My friends travelling with me said DCL called her to let her know that we were moved to early/main dining and wanted to know if they wanted to move up too, since we were linked. She said of course. I told her I hadn't heard a thing about moving up, but we had it marked to just move us if possible. So I came home (from a quick trip to the MK) and checked my online info. She's right! We are now at the Main Seating. I'm sure my 2 year old (and everyone around us) will appreciate it.

Congratulations!!! That will make it so much easier for you and your little ones. I think DCL will call me next week and tell me I have been upgraded to a Cat. 2 suite.

I did and I did. The crowds were really low today, so we got to do a lot. Though it was pretty hot and humid. Getting to go to Disney is our reward for dealing with the heat, humidity, and hurricanes.

Good luck on the Cat 2 upgrade. I'm just hoping to get up to a Cat. 4.

Judy: Hope you're feeling better soon! Maybe we can throw a hint to DH that jewelry heals mouth problems very quickly!!

Sandy: I saw your posting about names....can I make a request to you here since you aren't taking anymore over there?

Absolutely! What would you like?

Yesterday morning it was $3.73 at my corner. When I went by again five hours later it was $3.93. The station near my mom's house is $3.72.

TwobyFour,


I can't send PM's yet. I haven't had enough posts.


Sorry about that I thought I had sent you a message, but maybe it got lost. How about Sunday for us



Thanks so much,

Jennifer

When I logged on tonight I had a PM from you. Ten posts is the magic number, it's possible you sent it to one of my alter egos too. I'll put you down for Sunday.

 

[seadooken]

Goodmorning everybody. Ten weeks from right now I will be up on deck 10 watching us pull in to CC!

Yea! I can smell the salt air already!
Vicodin makes you sleep! I'm always up by at least 6am and I just got up! I think I'll take Tylenol from here on in.

Hi, Stacie! Steph is also participating--imsomaha. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Judy--Hope you're feeling better. Vicodin is some good stuff. Just don't go selling what you have left to pay for shopping!!!!!

Gas here in WV is $3.85, and 35 minutes away in VA is $3.45. We always get our gas in VA on our way home from work.

I just checked our reservations and we have been moved to main dining also. . It helps with having Kenna (who turned 3 yesterday) . Also Bob and his sister are diabetic. Bob takes insulin with each meal and at bedtime, and having 2nd seating would have him taking his insulin too close together.

I spent 12 hours yesterday with friends doing various crafting things. I worked on the FE gifts. I now have 43 completed with 21 more to go. May work on them this afternoon. Bob promised to take Kenzie swimming at the wellness center. If he knew the Steelers were on, he would find someway to get out of going swimming.

Have a great day everyone.

Lora

Are you on our cruise? Those are nice, but I don't think you're supposed to be advertising here.

Stacie - How is Gerrit doing?

He is doing well. The last I heard they hadn't got the biopsy results back yet. There was some talk that they hadn't gotten a big sample but I didn't get any updates this week. He did run in practice last week and he is in good spirits. Thanks for asking.

I don't know how many of you read it on the group website, but I'll repost here. Gerrit is a 16yo who is in my son's class, Boy Scout Troop, and Cross Country Team. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier in the month.

We talked to his Grandma after church this morning. He did go back into surgery Friday, and the Drs found out the tumor is cancer.

If you feel inclined please pray for Gerrit and his family. His dad is an Iraq vet, and his mom survived lukemia a few years ago. He also has a brother that is a college freshman, and a sister who is in middle school. All thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.

Lora and Shay--

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCKENNA!!!!
