8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #4

Well dang. My "little biopsy" turns out to be basal cell cancer. The bad thing is this on the side of my nose. At least I will be easily identifiable on the cruise cause I will have only half a nose!
Oh well! We all have something.

My wife had same thing, same place about 2 months before our wedding. Mohs surgery left her with black eye and she told everyone I hit her....

Found this on the DL AP newsletter. There is a partnership with St Joseph's Hospital and they are giving away free pedometers to AP holders. It's all part of a get healthy campaign and encouraging folks to walk 10,000 steps per day.

Go The Distance!​

Shopping/math alert

I guess the shopping powers of some of the wenches on this thread have rubbed off on Linda. She went to Kohl's today, and was looking at the luggage. They had a Buy One Get One Free sign and they also had a sale sign by the rolling garment bags. They were originally $99 each, but were on sale for $50. She asked a salesperson if they were also BOGO free. He asked a manager who said that the BOGO sale ended yesterday and they missed taking down the signs. So she offered her the opportunity to buy two of them for $50. Of course she took them. And she had a 15% off coupon too, so she got the 2 garment bags for $42.50 instead of $198. That's a 78% savings!

AWEsome deal!!!

Good Afternoon! We got 10" of s***! All the schools are closed and I brought dd with me to work. Thank goodness for 4X4 drive. I am hoping that my neighbor across the street with the big auger snow blower takes pity on me and does my sidewalks. Hoping that the roads are cleared by the time to go.

Needless to say I hate s***! This has really been a winter.

Tina, we only got a few inches of the white stuff here--but it was plenty! be careful out there in the mess.

I'm not much help, I work for county government. We could never get away with doing that under Civil Service rules. They may just be talking to freak people out. Unless your fiance can get a hard copy of the questions to take to HR, he should probably just play it by ear. Not really sure what they can do in the private sector. Best wishes to your fiance. Hope it works out.

I agree with Tina. It really stinks.

Hi Folks

Just want to share another e.mail received from DCL.

They will be contacting clients that are affected by this to let them know if their Mickey Bar's are affected and adjustments will be made to your pricing over the next few weeks.

Only reservations made by people that are currently Doctor Who lover's are exempt from the increase in tax on Mickey bar's. If you say you love DW and later you make a modification to that statement your taxes will be adjusted at that time as well.

This only affects cruises of 15 nights in August 2008
From DCL:



For those worried about these changes please contact Captain Crash, he also will not have a clue, but, I just want to fill up his PM inbox.

Please do not call DCL or a T/A directly about this as they will say they do not know anything about this as they have all been hypnotized by ''the Master.''

Thanks, I am looking forward to my Mom coming up for a week helping me. She told me on the phone the other day she should be able to get 8 hours of work in. for the week. She plans on going to the beach.

Well I have Cheryl on the now..........can't type and talk at the same time.

 

[radioclash2]

Oh no. Picture slow motion chase scene at buffet opening - Clashdude vs. sk8ingboy...cue Chariots of Fire score.

My DS7 is a total bacon boy.

 

[radioclash2]

......and then suddenly, from out of nowhere, buckidad tackles both boys and overtakes bacon platter.



He's not going to let a couple of adorable little boys stand in his way, I'm warning you right now. When we talk about what we are looking forward to about the cruise, he always mentions bacon.

how about ankle biters ?

Of course, buckigirl (dd8) will be standing sideline, lamenting "poor piggies". She is a vegetarian.

[radioclash2]

Fudgey Wudgeys eh?

That is so wrong

So ... what will "I" be yelling?

Why... I'll be proclaiming my innocence while hawking the M-Bars of course!​

Hi everyone.............thought I would take the time to post today - and I need to vent. I have hurt my foot and now may not be able to run in the 10k I have trained so hard for. All those cold mornings when it was in the teens and 20's i still went out and ran my 3 or 4 miles and now it may be all for not! I killed my ankle yesterday, went to urgent care and they took xrays. Good news is nothing is broken or fractured. Off to an orthopedic tomorrow to hopefully get it resolved. Dr. did say she thinks that is may be a ligament or tendon problem. Funny thing is ALL i was doing when I hurt it was relaxing! Went to get up and my foot & ankle would not work! So frustrating! I really cannot put my weight on it, very painful! Luckily I have some crutches here to help me get from point A to Point B but its my right foot - Yep, I can't drive! Whew........thanks for letting me get that out!

After hitting urgent care yesterday, I did not get home until 7:30 and got my email from Dreams stating that I had until 8pm to pay off our cruise or get charged those extra $$.. DH said just pay it off so at least that was the good thing that happened, got our TOAL PIF last night and right before the deadline so no extra charges for us.

We also got bad news last night, our neighbors daughter who is 16 was involved in a very serious car accident with 5 other teenagers night before last. All were very seriously injured, they rolled an SUV and hit a tree. No drugs or alcohol, just some kid driving way too fast and lost control. My neighbors daughter has crushed her leg pretty good and another boy has a broken back. They are all lucky to be alive. It takes me back to when I was a new driver and that age, i never worried about getting hurt or what would happen if....I lived in the moment - HOW SCARY!

I guess since I will be off the next couple of days you all will hear more from me. I am going to be doing some trip planning I guess!

how horrible & sad

prayers that they just need a smidge of your nose.

 

[radioclash2]

That's one of the drawbacks of the private sector....And there's that whole employment at will thing which means they could "let him go" for any reason.

I hope it works out but if it doesn't he probably didn't want to stay anyway.... From my past, a huge restructuring sometimes means they just want to become more profitable on paper to sell the company.

You're absolutely right about that & 25 jobs going to 12 people? (MATH ALERT) they obviously expect all the new employees to perform the job of two people.

I just found out today that we have $50 more in onboard credit than we thought we did!

I came across another thread where someone said that the DCL onboard booking credit for the repo cruises is $250. Probably everyone else knew this, but we thought it was only the usual $200!! When we "booked" on board the Magic last January, it was the cruise where they announced the panama cruises and when we asked at the rebooking desk they said they could take our info and we would be automagically booked on the 31st. It sounded too good to be true, but we went ahead and did it and it actually worked out (much to our surprise!). At that time, the booking agent didn't know what the credit would be but said she thought it would be the usual $200 since these cruises "are usually pretty popular" and extra incentives wouldn't be needed!!! I've just been assuming that number all along. When I read the $250 number I contacted our Dreams TA (poor lady - I bugged her yesterday also with the PIF business ) and she confirmed it and double-checked with DCL that it was on our reservation.

I'm still recovering from the stupid flu, but for some reason this just made me feel really good

Not quite, dahlin' Y'all is spelled with the apostrophe-thingie between the y and the all (short for you all).

If y'all spell it ya'll, they'll think you are either a Yankee or graduated from the University (sic) of Georgia...
