[eeyorelvr10]

That's okay Joel, you can join us in the NPIF club!

Of which I too am a member! My TA didn't even call me - guess I'll have to investigate for our end.

 

[Downrivermama]

You're Moving???!????

How did I miss this? How could you possibly leave this wonderful weather?

Oh well, best of luck. Wish we could have met before you left Chitown (but that's my fault, not yours).

And she has the nerve to move to Myrtle Beach! That's right, rub the salt in our rusty cars!

 

[castoff]

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.

Coral

Coral: I won't preach because I am sure you got that from the Dr. The good news is........They found it !!! I can only imagine how it was to hear that word. So they are going to take care of before cruise and you will be all better and everyone will be telling you a million times..........Coral do ya put more sunscreen on your face?

Feel free to vent, cry, laugh, whatever you need to do. I know I do. I have a drooping eye from my stroke. We will fit right in together.

Congrats! Do you have a penalty system for yourself -- that's too funny!

I keep telling myself I'm going to start working out more -- next week. I really need to just start, but every weekend I tend to find a new excuse such as the weather or a flare-up of my gout. Two years ago, I lost about 35 pounds before our cruise and have been able to keep all but about 12 to 15 of it off. I just want to lose those 15 pounds, but can't seem to motivate myself to begin exercising. I'm doing the diet, but it's not enough by itself.

My staff are all in it to diet and if you put on weight you pay a fine, if you do it too often, you use the cash raised to buy cream cakes!

Too funny!

Some light relief to the taxes!

Which is why i live nowhere near the lake....

I keep trying to get my DGP'S out of western pa. They hate snow too but chose to live in the snow belt.



Sometimes it happens Andrew....

I exercise every day (and pretty hard too) but some weeks (or many weeks this month) that stupid scale just won't budge or it will be 1 up/1 down.

Yes very funny I thought I was on for my best week ever and might even get into the 14 Stones area??

You know J.R.........figures the first & only winter I am here it has to be a record setting one at that. 6th snowiest one yet!!!! Did I ever tell you I HATE THE SNOW !!!! I leave Sat. morning for a Hotel for 2 days then fly out Mon. morn. Yes I wish we could've met also. Planning your next cruise yet?

 

[castoff]

And she has the nerve to move to Myrtle Beach! That's right, rub the salt in our rusty cars!

I will make sure to post when I go through my first tornado and hurricane o.k? Feel better now.........

Coral

But it's good to find it early while it's small. Remember half a nose is better then no nose! Hang in there!

Don't you get some of the storms that pass by DC?

S*** was one of many reasons I left Western PA. Then for some idiotic reason (my job), I left the South to come to Chicago.

Uh oh...

Kinda makes me want to re-think that tanning beforehand but if i don't have a base...i usually risk a pretty bad burn.

Guess i won't be the only one carrying around that waterproof 50'ish SPF sunscreen.

I tote high octaine SPF sunscreen!

to you!

And you'll both fit in with all of us - 'sides - from the way we talk - we won't be standing around checking all each other's faults anyway, our mouths will be moving at a rate... well lets just say - they won't stay still long enought to allow us to stare at you all.

OK - I have really got to get off this board. I have to eat as the idiot (that would be me) set up a training session again - STUPID STUPID STUPID - don't I realize I'm old and can't be doing this to my body?????

Anyway, I look at it this way - only 8 more sessions and then I'm gone on my summer of travelling.

Coral

Coral,
I worked with someone with the same thing, Except she had to have a skin graft on the tip of her nose. She was ok. She evened out the color with foundation and you couldn't tell.

Reminder to everyone to bring sunscreen

By the way, was it on the left side? I heard someone say most are on the side exposed in the car when you drive.

 

[Michelle2]

Yes very funny I thought I was on for my best week ever and might even get into the 14 Stones area??

Me too unfortunately...Thinking it will be a great week, and am up a pound. It seems like my body is fighting to keep the weight harder and its coming off slower....what's up with that????

I feel your pain...

[msaseifert]

Thanks everyone for the get well wishes on my foot. Its really painful today - not putting any weight on it until I know I can - I go to see the Orthopedic dr. tomorrow - first available appt. I took the rest of the week off work and will just dis and rest!

Coral - I am so sorry about your news, I am so glad though you have such a wonderful attitude!

Can I ask what happened to your foot? I can honestly say I feel your pain !!!!
I broke a toe back in Dec. Yes Dec. and after 8 weeks of pain and in a shoe thingy the Dr. said Sorry Tina I need to do surgery. Well On Feb. 22 he took out all the bone and put a metal pin in and I still will have a long recovery to go and I am now in a hard boot to my knees.

 

[m&m's mom]

I was going to say 'that stinks' but maybe a nose pun isn't appropriate now?
I am so sorry to hear this, Coral, but I am glad to see you have a sense of humor about it.

Naw! I love it!!!!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. After I told him all of your thoughts, I think it helped him with his decision and decided to just keep quiet and do a follow-up letter. Definitely need a few drink after the last few days!

Coral - I am sorry it turned out to be a cancer cell. Hugs to you.

Thanks and I hope everything goes well for yal too. Sounds stressful.

Coral: I won't preach because I am sure you got that from the Dr. The good news is........They found it !!! I can only imagine how it was to hear that word.

Thanks, I am good. We are busy planning a funeral for my nose. It was a good one too. Gonna miss it.

But it's good to find it early while it's small. Remember half a nose is better then no nose! Hang in there!
I tote high octaine SPF sunscreen!

Imagine if I had no nose. My DD asked where I was going to put my sunglasses. She said I needed an assistant to hold them on.

to you!

Good Luck on your training. I should be there too.

Wow! I'd say any contest that I would have a chance of winning......Nope can't think of any.

Briliant! How much fat do you think they would need from my backside to make a new nose?
On the right side.

Like I said- we all have something and I am due.
I just want time to have a "normal" nose before we go on the trip.

I hope I am not offending anyone that has "real" medical issues. This is the baby of the cancer world and I am a big girl.

Good afternoon. I have a problem and could use a little help, my stress level is maxed with wedding planning and now this. My fiance was told that he is losing his job because they are "restructuring" the sales department. They told all the sales team that they would have to apply and interview for this newly restructured position. 25 people losing their jobs, restructured to 12 positions.

Chris was the first they interviewed last week. Chris just called and found out that another sales team received the interview questions and were able to prepare. To me that is an unfair advantage to the rest of the people and other teams and kind of like favortism. In the government this would be a big problem and would have to go to the Solicitors Office to review, but not sure how it is in the Private Sector. What should Chris do, go to HR? Go to his boss? He is afraid that if he goes to HR that it will lesson his chance of getting the job and be seen as the trouble maker. I told him to do it after he finds out next week who gets the job and he said then it would look like he was mad that he didn't get the job and is making stuff up. They don't have any physical evidence, just hear say. HELP!!

Sorry no real help here...........just I would be scared to

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.''

Hey Andrew I know we have both been paid in full for awhile now.........Did you get the email from dreams? I thought it was strange I did, maybe just a mass emailing?

lol lol wrong quote, don't ya love it!!! Anyway I am talking about the port increase.

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!

So sorry about your foot! I can imagine your frustration of all that training.

That was a horrible accident. It sounds like they were all extremely lucky.

In honor of Rebecca's (SWMBO-Jr) 6th birthday today, I had to post some photos of the "Princess Birthday Extraganza and Pool Party" we held last weekend:

Scrunchy and her cake:

Rebecca looks like she enjoyed her princess birthday
