Caroline, didn't you say that the med cruises include the tips?

From what I read, the repo cruises will have the tips "paid for" as in you will not have to yourself. I guess it would be in the realm of an extra onboard credit. I can find all of this first hand when we board in Dec and I go find out!

Interesting post on the main board about changes, huh?

Dennis - you have a sweetheart for a wife!

Yes I do. Thank You. Gee, now you can see how slow I am at typing/keyboarding, etc.

A Milestone while I was typing something. Sheesh. Belated Congratulations. YAY !!!!!!

There must have been 100 messages zinging by as I was typing one. I started this one last Tuesday.

Sigh

Hey, where is the photographer smiley???? Whoops. MrsMork forgot to logoff. Shame shame.

The TS seems to be past. Needed the rain as I forgot to water the lawn for two day. I am just too lazy to set the timer for it. One of those "I'll do it later" things.

Okay - since there is no one to play with...I'm gonna go play with MY NEW BUTTON MACHINE It came today. DH brought it in and said, "SHould I ask what's in here?" I responded, "Nope!" He responded, "Whatever makes ya happy." Hmmm.....can you imagine what he's gonna think when the sea of green buttons are lying on our floor??!!

COOL!!! I bet you are having fun!!!!

Did somebody say cake???

I have a recipe for a microwave cake that turns out really good in a stoneware bundt pan (Pampered chef, of course!) 14 minutes to chocolate goodness... mmmm (I'm craving cake tonight so I am probably going to go whip one up).

Hey there, Joy!!! Nice to see you!

Yes Joy, good to see you! Is it only talk of cake that brings you about?!?!

It seems like no one wants to join me on the Eco Tour. Just think of the stories we can have when we get back! Anyone??

 

[DrHug]

You got me ! Well, how many milestones did we pass while I was trying to log on?

 

[pyramid2000]

It's been a little slow lately Dennis...

 

[klineyqueen]

Yes we do!!! We have over 500 plants currently and many have fruited more than once....I was previously told they would only fruit once.....with Dh managing a grocery store he used to always bring home the "tops" which you simply twist in some dirt (not plant) and viola! We didn't get fruit for two years but now that most all have fruited and with the apple cores we get yearly fruit...along with some stealers!!
DH is the green thumb - I stick with my orchids....our yard consists of mostly frangipanai (plumeria - what they make lei's out of in Hawaii) Right now they are stunning! Lots of pineapples - including some Jamaician and Hawaiian ones....and various fruit trees....DH loves trying anything to get growing!


....

Your backyard sound awesome! I wish we could grow a pinapple! Seriously...what do you do with 500 plants??? Do you sell them?

Did you happen to see my post about the Canon Rebel EOS for $799. I forgot to mention that this included an 18-55mm AF Zoom. Good?

 

[DrHug]

????

Wow. Good snag!

Very Good! They are awesome cameras. Basically they are the same as the higher end cameras. Just a difference in frame and body materials. Just not as rugged, but hopefully you won't be climbing Everest with it.

I found this site http://www.bestpricecameras.com/display.asp?page=312322


It has it for $579 with the lens, $449 w/o!

My mom and dad were going to do that on our last cruise. Due to high winds the ship could dock but all excursions were canceled. I would do it but my kids are too young for that trip. I am also not going to have Eliza in flounders when I am off of the boat....Yes I am a dork!

 

[klineyqueen]

I was away all weekend and then today was terrible!!!

 

[pyramid2000]

Come on Brandi! DH could watch her.

 

[klineyqueen]

I was in class from 8 - 11:30. When I got home I had to make lunch for the troops. I continued working on a project for my class. I made dinner. Canceled my music lessons. Continued working on a project. DH and DS watched a movie...mommy....continued working on a project.

Said project is DONE!!!!! now I just have to present it tomorrow. I only have 3 more days of class. It is killing me!!! I have had to neglect my dis friends!

I really must get to bed. I have a busy day tomorrow.

I have no ipod.

We do have a few trIp[ods though. Maybe we could add an MP3 player to it somehow. What a marketing tool. It couls serve as music for the model shoots.
