Holy smokes!!.....where was everybody today??

Well our family is after really getting into this treasure hunt...we went out looking two different times today...I have many ideas...it is pretty amazing how many people are looking for this "9"...everywhere you go you'll see people looking and everyone is lookng in the strangest places...me and Alicia saw a busniess man down on the ground today looking in under a recylce bin...I hope no big cruise ship come in here the next few days...they'll think we are all crazy for sure

Your excursions sound really neat! Not to put a damper on your vacation but have you thought about taking anything with you for the kids to prevent them from getting seasick? Sure wish I put Alicia's sea braclets on her before we got on the ship last year...

Dawn...If you are interested in seeing the nine then look online!

The nine was found!

Hello!

Met the boys at school and left for the soccer game. It took over an hour to get there and the leader of our caravan was going way too fast on the backroads

The team lost 1 to 2 during the last few minutes of the game! Good game. I think the other team had an advantage because they had more on the team so they weren't so tired by the end of the game like our team was.

I'm glad tomorrow's Friday. Guess we are going to the zoo in the morning. Should have time to post before leaving but if not you do know where I'm at.

Chow.

The nine was found!

Where was it found???


Hi all,

just doing a quick check in before Greg needs the computer to check his mail.
Been along day today.

Poor Minnie tried to jump on our bed last night and with her short legs and our high bed she fell backwards and landed on her head and also hurt her back left foot. Good thing she has a hard head.
I know her head and foot hurt all last night and when she plays todayyou can see she still hurts some.

we use to have a case of canned food there she could step on and jump onto the bed.
She saw Pixie up there and wanted to join her.

My poor baby, she is always getting hurt. She just isnt real strong in her legs. Vet says it may be due to ehr early abuse. we didnt do the x-rays to see if they had been fractured or broken before. I couldnt bear knowing if they had hit her that hard.

So she is a cuddle bug this evening with me. She always does that when she isnt feeling well.

well off to do dishes and let Greg use HIS computer

I will try and check back once more before bedtime.

Ya, my wife's a nurse and is prone to getting "seasick" so we've got all kind of seasick drugs.

We'll probably wait and see how the kids handle the ocean before we give them anything though?!

Well....good night Nana's!!

I'm going to soak in the hot tub with Janel and then watch the news.

I managed to get all my work done today, so I'm turning in early tonight.

Just dropping by to say good night.

Greg,
I have read many times that most pediatricians say younger kids dont get seasick normally because their inner ears arnt fully developed.
Usually when they get ill its due to the change of diet and excitement or hearing people talking about getting seasick. if they think they will get sick, they will.

Our grandkids never got seasick, but their dad sure did But he loaded with dramamine and was ok after that. But we did have 30 foot seas that trip.


I always bring some meds but we have never needed them, thank goodness.


well catch everyone in the morning,

kathy

Greg, 'Ya don't understand man! On our cruise last year, Kathy help me, 20 foot waves?? Bigger? I had never gotten seasick--wasted one evening and better part of a day before I had it controlled. Mutt turned me on to the free drug that the cruise line hands out down by the medical center. A few hours after I took that I was fine. I always bring all the remedies just in case and this time I tell you nothing worked!!! It did not bother the boys though.

 

[dsparks]

Good Morning Greg, Jaime, and Kathy! Anyone else lurking out there--good morning to you too!

It's Friday, it's Friday! Whoo-hoo!

Got the laundry in and will hang out before leaving for the zoo! I'll be back later.

Good morning Nana's!!

Hi Dawn! I thought the cruise doctor had a "shot" they could give people who did not respond to the pills?

Hi Kathy
Hi Jaime

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning all,

Greg they do have a shot fo rpeople who have tired other methods and are still sick.
I think it costs about $135.00, but it does work and it works fast and usually lasts a few days.
Most just prefer to use the cheaper over the counter stuff if it works.
But like Dawn said, in the clinic area on deck 1 when it gets rough they have free pills you can get for it and they seem to work much better than the drug store stuff

well its friday and I think we are glad here, it has been along week for both of us.
The project manager has been gone sick where greg works so he has been trying to do 2 jobs all week and he is pooped!!

No plans for the weekend here. Just piddle around doing little stuff around here i think.
Off to check out the 08,
back soon,

kathy

Picture of the day

 

[Jaime]

Ahhhh....Jaime.....now I understand. It hasn't been found but the picture! What's the picture of? What do you think?

Just found out the picture is a piece of the nine! Bad part is they played all the clues today at one time...so now anyone who hadn't been keeping track has all the clues...we went out last night looking...everyone is looking

IMO...Big mistake...my kids go whale watching and never...never get seasick! It almost ruined our cruise...it really put a damper on things for sure...we ended up having to leave our brunch at Palo's and Alicia was not allowed in the clubs for 24 hours and then had to get a letter from the doctor. We had to leave dinner twice because Kierra got seasick.

I do not plan to give them any med's before our next cruise only if they get sea sick but they will have there sea braclets on before they get onboard...it is what the CM recommended...he told me it's what alot of them do...of course they don't work so well once you are sick...then you have to use med's and by that time they are already feeling yucky...it's just my opinion though...
