Does it look just normal though, or "bristling" with M-16's now?

I have been going to Coz for about 6 years or so and have never thought at anytime it was "bristling" In most countries around the world you would always find soldiers in and around the airports who were armed, it still bewilders me that we are one of the very few countries who do not have any kind of armed gaurds at our airports considering that even before 9/11 most countries did ....But anyway , it is nothing out of the ordinary for us as we have traveled alot , I did notice some armed gaurds walking the beaches on the east side of the island and that was only because 2 weeks ago I guess a smuggler had try to dump his shipment of cocaine somewhere in the Atlantic and like 22 kilos of cocaine washed up on the beach in Coz ...So they were out there making sure anymore didnt get into the wrong peoples hands ...But dont worry nothing thats to intimidating...

John, I was in the guini pig class at school in first grade that was taught phonics. My spelling is terrible!!! They stopped teaching phonics the next year but it left its mark.

my little one learned to read in a phonetic program - he is a wonderful reader, awful speller!! if only i could take that back!

Oh, I hate it when that happens.... Smugglers, Cocaine...


The last thing that washed up here was a cheese from a truck that tipped over and cheese got into the river.....

When I lived in Tokyo, I remember there being guards at the customs area of the airport, but not in town. I think that is probably a cultural thing there...

Another progressive phonics speller learner here. When my mother would tell me to "look it up in the dictionary" I thought "she hates me" That was up there with sitting at the dinner table until I finished whatever was on my plate.

oh my - maybe our mothers were twins!!! she said those things to me too - i can't tell you how many times she'd put my plate in the 'fridge!!

 

[DSharpe]

Hardly a pirate. If I could find a gift smiley I would....

congrats kim!

i think you should at least see some one for the pain - is your dentist's office open at all to talk to a nurse?

 

[kimerinc]

Oh my, you know what I just realized? I bet the new starbucks is open? I am getting all frenzied just thinking about it... YUMMMM YUMMMM.

That's who I talked to last week when I called from NYC. They gave me a name of the dentist on call. I have a neighbor who is a dentist, I am just going to call him tomorrow and go see him. Who knows, maybe I will like him better.

My grandma did that. And do you know what frosted mini wheats tastes like for lunch after being in the fridge all morning? Yuck! And you know what else, I think that's why I can't stop eating now... guilt! Those poor starving children in china...

ok, where did everyone go. Are you all waiting for me to post a billion replies so you can pirate the milestone?

I think DH is getting me a spa gc for my birthday so I can get a manicure and pedicure before the cruise. I have never had either (can you believe that!). When should I do this before the cruise so that it stills looks nice all week?

Also, are any of you ladies (or gentleman I suppose as well) going to sign up for any spa services on the cruise? I had a hot stone massage last time that left me feeling like a limp noodle. I am considering it again but it is so $$$$. I also thought about a facial but I just don't know. Any suggestions?

I've never had either, either! but am thinking about doing it before the cruise.
I thought about massage/facial on cruise, too, but it's just too much for my budget!

 

[DSharpe]

I love netflix! We like to watch movies. We are on the 9.99 a month plan. We get unlimited movies but only one at a time. It works out to be 2 movies a week. We have one on the weekend and one midweek.
RV is my Aunt's copy. We watched our netflix on Thursday night.

we use blockbuster and love it - we have unlimited 3 at a time, plus we get 2 free rentals in the store every month.

John,

How was the greek festival?

 

[kimerinc]

I do this all the time and post while I am catching up, but I love to read the thread when someone is doing it. It is classic! Thanks DSharpe!

Kim

 

[kimerinc]

I don't do well with e-bay. I have had two very bad experiences there and so I stopped trying... Maybe I just got unlucky with two very bad sellers...

Kim

 

[kimerinc]

This is almost painful! Slowly, Slowly....

 

[lillygator]

Couples massage - was someone asking about that?
DH and I did that on our first cruise and it was so cramped in the room - next time we would either do the cabana one or seperately....

 

[kimerinc]

Well, in less than a week I can make my reservations. I asked on the chat friday who bought the REAS package and will be staying up with me on Friday night? Anyone?

Kim

 

[kimerinc]

Angie, I think it is lovely that you and Dr. Hug are attached at the hip. DH and I work together, so our only alone time is driving seperate cars to work. Yes we drive seperatley. I need some me time with my music.....

Kim

 

[DSharpe]

I am listening to the new Christina Aguilera single Ain't No Other Man and I just love it. Here new CD came out this week. Did anyone pick it up? Is it good?

ooo - i like that song too!

 

[kimerinc]

Lillygator are you catching up too?
