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

[captaincrash]

...[ed]....
Sorry DD's are both and DW too . Hope you all start feeling better.

Sounds like a steal with the airline tickets.

Thanks cheryl,

I've got two feverish little girls here - the older one has had 2 days worth of Omnicef (misspelled?) and shes' still having fevers - chills - coughing - which is expected as the doc said it'd getworse before it gets better - sniffles - and for a change - today she's looking sort of really worn out and distant. However, I'd like to think the Omnicef is doing a lot of good. I remember taking the stuff and it was powerful medicine. However, so far it's looking medium powered.

The younger one is going through medium fevers of 103 mostly. I ended up NOT taking her to the doc today as my dear spouse gave me a technical explanation for what we're doing - and why - and basicly said we should not dose anti-biotics until we determine we are fighting a bacterial infection - like the emerging pneumonia in Julianna. AND that the simplist thing to do is let the viral infection run its' course over 3 days. And if it means waiting until friday morning to decide if we'll go in to see the doc then so be it. It will delay our departure for San Diego til perhaps 12 noon - but that's how it has to be.

Alicia is acting worn out - and has had a low grade fever since sunday. ME, feel as if I have had a low grade fever too - but most of the time I measure no fever - and only somtimes think it might be low grade... but for the most part I am NOT really having any sort of fever.

Somebody stop this ride......I want to get off!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In upper management's infinite wisdom we are going to be reorganized again. This means possible lay offs.

The fun just never stops. Thank God that in just 24 hours I will be sitting in the airport waiting for my plane to LA.

What can I say now that hasn't already been expressed? Well... speaking for ourselves we think we've been no different. We've been through several employment transitions - some were simple changes while others were semi-tragic business events with US as part of the casualties. Alas, what I really wanted to say was that what stresses us makes us stronger and wiser. SO take the threatened change as an opportunity for self improvement - whether it comes to pass that you change jobs or employer - or you just watch another storm pass.

At any rate - hang in there and keep up a good attitude.

I could use lots of pictures so I feel like I was with all of you!!!

Hey - I'll be there.

Johnny does not smell like a pirate. I've been close enough to verfiy. Orlando doesn't either.

Just caught Troy on TV over the weekend, Lo and behold - "Paris" was played by none other than our own lovable Orlando! Clean cut and slightly plump as opposed to today. But the worst part - the online TV guide did not list him. If I hadn't been flipping - I'd of missed him. Have to admit - his POC charater was much cuter.

Anyway, on my 4th day of this viral and I think I might have it almost licked although the oldest dd is now in full bloom of it. Oh well, a mom's job is never done huh?

OK - only went back 6 pages so if I missed anything important - someone clue me in - ok.

Hey guys - just thought I announce - I think I am on my way to being caffeine free. With this illness, it was Sunday night before I realized that I hadn't had any soda or caffeine almost 2 days without it. I had a sip on Tues night but stopped after I realized what I'd ordered. The last couple of times I quit - it took about 1 week before the headaches stopped.

Is this a good idea especially for this cruise? What say you all?

Don't be too jealous yet... I've been telling my boss since last year that i was taking this trip and he refuses to sign my leave slip. He's leaving for a new position at the end of this week and i gave the leave slip to the division director (my boss's boss who is staying) and he doesn't want to sign this early either.

Carp double carp... Come August i may just have to take a leave of absence or have my dr write a "You have to let her take two weeks off or she will go psychotic on you" note

I think we all may need to get mental health notes for the TOAL. Good thinking.

oh carp you wanted organization too.... i did get yours Lisa.

I think maybe i need a thread on pirate zone....

thanks Kristina.

G'mornin' s

It's a dark morning in VA...I have no idea what the weather is going to be like.
OK who misses Liz?

ok i'm really skeeved out.... and i thought college guys were slobs.

I heard someone talk once (forget where) about why do women think capt jack is sexy because in today's world someone with teeth like that would be nasty.

I agree. Every time i watch the movie now...all i see are those nasty teeth. Makes me want to run to brush and floss...

OK bedtime now...(since this stupid timechange has me so messed up. Maybe by friday i will be on-time for work for once. i was a half hour late all week so far.)

I'm not so ontime lately either. My new office location is making me consider driving to work. Right now it is almost 1:15 each way, I think I can drive and park in less than :45. Money-wise it is going to come close in cost & I may be able to reclaim almost an hour a day of my life. I can get there without the Beltway or any other highway.

Johnny Depp is an attractive guy. He's not my usual type at all, and even I think he's pretty hot. I think the CJS fascination is just as much the character and the fact that you can tell there is a hot guy under all the 'ick'.
One thing I love about the POC movies, is that the characters very rarely look perfect. Quite often they are all sweaty and shiny - like people who are running around wearing layers of wool in the tropics!

Johnny does not smell like a pirate. I've been close enough to verfiy. Orlando doesn't either.

I thought you would have an opinion!

This is so why I've stayed away from corporate America!

CRASH! Did you miss my orders for everyone to get better already??
I hope everyone in your family is perking up today.

Chance to win a NCL Cruise

Happy Birthday Robert!

Don't get too excited, I believe Harbor Cove is a small motel gift shop with a few bottles. Not sure how much of a selection you'll have.

Was this something the group visiting this week could scout out?

In a shocking turn of events, school administrators admit over-reaction to black market Skittles sale, deny national press coverage was a factor...

Morning everyone! The only good thing about it is it's Thursday!

Somebody stop this ride......I want to get off!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In upper management's infinite wisdom we are going to be reorganized again. This means possible lay offs.

Same thing happened this time last year (and the year before that and the year before that and so on).

Sorry to hear this Monica. Maybe something better is on the way? Our department only reorgs as an excuse to give certain people promotions. As often as we reorg, you would think they would get it right by now? It's been in the papers all week with our County Ex saying he is going to lay off some of his appointees. Yeah right, it will hit the unionized workers too. Of course Michigan is such a disaster economic wise these days. Not good.

Don't be too jealous yet... I've been telling my boss since last year that i was taking this trip and he refuses to sign my leave slip. He's leaving for a new position at the end of this week and i gave the leave slip to the division director (my boss's boss who is staying) and he doesn't want to sign this early either.

Carp double carp... Come August i may just have to take a leave of absence or have my dr write a "You have to let her take two weeks off or she will go psychotic on you" note.

Sounds like a boss I had a while back. She was a trip.

I still Johnny Depp bad teeth and all.

So does that mean I can have Johnny all to myself!! I think our CJS might tell Johnny to give up smoking like he did!!!

Nice try Cheryl. Don't think so!

I don't know if any of you ladies have Pandora bracelets. Now I found another company who has similar bracelets and beads. It's Chamilia and they have Disney beads! A local store has them and I'm going to check them out. The Chamila beads will work on the Pandora bracelet and since I only have 2 Pandora beads it's time to add a couple more. They have Tink!

LIVE from the passport office!

They checked me for weapons on the way in.

lol

We'll be at HoJos on the 15th & 16th. Unfortunately, I think we'll only get to do DL on the 16th.

We will be there on Friday as well

GM

Just to let you know I will be flying up to Boston tomorrow and not returning until Sunday...

My DD is getting her Masters from Tufts University/Fletcher college Saturday morning..

I was already warned to bring warm clothes...lol

Presently 66 going up to 76 here in Sunny Central Florida

Welcome aboard to all the newbies

Happy Birthday and Anniversary to all we have missed

Have a great Wednesday

Congrats Liz. You should be proud

Just thought I would post the new Castaway Gifts!!! Any comments??

 

[m&m's mom]

We have reservations at the Doubletree for Saturday night. I haven't bought our plane tickets yet (prices have been bad) so when we fly in is not set yet. The plan was to save money and stress-fly in on Sat. and go straight to the hotel, but I would love to do the DL meet [/COLOR]

I am not sure if this makes you feel any better, we are going to try to have some kind of meeting each other on Sat pm at the Doubletree.

Just thought I would post the new Castaway Gifts!!! Any comments??

Looks good to me but the only thing I have to compare it to is RCCL's repeat cruiser gift and this is nicer.

Gettin better....I'm still hoping for something special for this trip though...

I have 3 towels already so anything other than a towel is better.

I liked the two bag gift from last trip. I wish they would have kept the red mesh backpack rather than the blue drawstring though...
