For those of you wanting to follow the March Madness, I saw this link to watch the games on the computer. It even has a Boss Button where you look like you are looking at a spread sheet when someone walks by

That's not a very "can do" attitude.

...and how far do you plan to bike on May 19?

Squimish alert!
Well, I did my good citizen bit today & went off to donate my pint of blood with a couple of colleagues. Donated at my usual slow rate & for the first time ever the carer told me not to put on my coat until I'd had my tea & biccie as occassionally there are re-bleeds. Well, I've donated a dozen times before without incident but did as I was told. Went & got my cuppa, looked down to put my tea on the table & noticed my white plaster was red & dripping Managed to get back to the carer & all panic seemed to break loose. I was spraying blood like something out of a Tarantino film, they couldn't find the re-bleed pack & I had left a wonderful trail behind me!!! The nurses were good - one of them was even trying to get the blood off my pink Timberland boots Anyway, I've survived the experience, unlike my jeans (at least they were old) & I'm still booked in for July 3 (unless they decide I'm too much trouble).

No work here tomorrow, instead it's the shopping (I'm cooking Easter lunch for 16) & a trip to the DIY store to look for some wallpaper. I'll use the WB dining info. to help me plan for Palo etc, altho' I realise it may change & if it is just one seating time then the rotation will have a 1 in 3 chance of being correct! I agree that PC is not the most glamorous setting for formal night, but c'est la vie....I'm just happy to be going on TOAL

Have a great Easter & I hope the bunny brins you everything you want!

Celestine

How horrible, you are a very brave woman.

Maybe we can set Tom up with a 60 mile ride on CC while the rest of us are are enjoying Naked Rugby and umbrella drinks.

I already offered to GPS map the bike path if my organization would pay for my business trip to CC.

i got a letter from my township yesterday i have to get rid of my baby. my first new car. im going to hate to see it leave. its been off the road a while, its not worth it to fix it up.

I've got an old car in my driveway too - one I'm guessing a few neighbors would like to get rid of too. However, we have not gotten around to a final decision on its' disposition yet. However, the letter you got has got to be in the minds of our HOA board - I'm sure.

I really should let my clunker go though.... before I get written up...

It was really great to see that availability opened up on our cruise today and new people were able to book, it proves the ship is not over booked and that everyone with a GTY booking will get a room, and not be bumped as they wouldn't release more rooms if this was the case.

I guess we will now see more coming up from now until May the final pay up date, as some people change their minds or fail to be able to make the final cost of the cruise, or prefer to use the money on other things.

 

[captaincrash]

Thanks! We'll be flying SW -- none of those pesky $25 baggage fees for us.

I just compared the priced quoted by Orbitz for my planned Delta flight was $36 cheaper on the Delta Home site versus Orbitz - plus Orbitz addds a booking fee on top of that! ... so I think this might be cheap enough for us to be satisfied. Maybe tonite we'll book it there saving about $154 in total.

Except it is quite possible that the Po-Dunk Arms otel might not have a internet -

Is this the central Pennsyltucky mapping you talked about?

Where yins going in Pennsyltucky?

Umm, we're going 90 days before TOAL... May 18. North-central & central Pennsyltucky. Tioga, Blair, Huntington, Lycoming, Clinton, Potter, & Sullivan counties. Biking 250+ miles in a week. Yahoo.

I signed up for another triathlon June 8 - at least now I know I will get my bike training in!

M looks like we are going have to get you some of this

I know my b*** would be sore after riding that far.

Good Morning Pirates. Sorry I've been off, but real life hit hard. Finally all caught up again.
to all I've missed.
to all I've missed.
to all who need it.
It looks like everyone had a great time at the mini meet this past weekend. Love all of the pictures.
I really can not wait to join in on the fun on the ship.
*** Forewarning Rambling On ***
I don't mean to ramble but I do need to get things off my mind as to what has been happening in life lately.
DS (soon to be 15) (if he makes it) has been getting into trouble in school and at home, he may not be going on this cruise, he has less than 2 months from now to straighten his mess out.
FIL had passed away earlier this month, and now we need to take care of MIL, which she does not get around too good. DH and I hate to even leave her alone while we go to work, we have been looking for nurses to help out but nothing has come out as of yet, the nurses only come for about 2 hours a day, which would be okay, but then what do you do for the other 6 hours until DH or myself gets home. My MIL has fallen quite a few times and can not get up by herself. She refuses to use that alert button that we have tried to get for her. BIL is no help and neither is any other family members that live in the area. You would think that at times like this, they should want to help, without thinking what can I get in return. It just makes me
With all of this DH didn't really have a nice birthday, so I have to make it up to him.
Okay I think I'm done rambling for now.

I will look into the tastings on the website, maybe whomever is in charge of that task force, you can probably add 2 lushes to your list. I will send a PM as soon as I figure who I need to send to.
Bye for now, I will try to post more often.

Sorry the last few months have been a little rough!! The true meaning of how someone is loved comes out when there is sickness involved. Been there and done that!!!

Welcome to the lush list!!!

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond, but things have been busy -- I think I am the main contact . . . we planned to make a big announcement about signing up for FE after final payment was due. Then we will set a deadline, probably a few weeks before sailing, for signup -- which basically just means giving your cabin number. Then everyone who signed up will get a (hopefully semi-organized) list of cabin numbers. We will also have some kind of system for last minute room assignments/upgrades.

Oh I am glad it was you for the fish extender goodies. I am not sure what else I signed up for besides having meetings at the bars!!!

I'm boarding your site for a moment to say - TAG FAIRY please, please come visit the WBPC cruise! We neeeeeeeed tags! Thanks for allowing me to break in.

Break in anytime!!! We have not seen a tag fairy in almost a year.

Tag Fairy has not been here in nearly a year. Only way that anyone has gotten one recently is not on this thread but elsewhere. Some of us deserving folks still do not have a tag.

I agreee Roger!!!! I just got mine colored in but I liked what I wrote anyway!!!
I just the the pretty colors.

I've thought about starting over with my tags also.
I think they might be the 2 least interesting things I've written on the Dis.

Yes...drinks and more drinks!!!

That's so funny because I have been thinking of deleting mine, too. I never liked it -- it seemed like it was making fun of me more than anything, and while I know that is sport around here, it requires explaining everywhere else on the DIS and since I've been posting over in the DLRP section lately, it seemed odd.

But I like being part of the cool crowd for once in my life and having a tag, so I have been hesitating.

Maybe we need a 'tag ripping' party.

Mine took two years to get it colored and I am keeping mine!!! You were the in crowd and I was always in black!!

Took mine off a few months ago!

I forgot what yours said???

We're on Frontier and American. Anybody know of any special luggage rules with them?

I don't bike, I will walk a few miles tho.....

Maybe one of our Concierge level friends can do it for you? Also, check PM

In some fit of Friday night drunken chat I may have volunteered for that there rugby game...

"Don't call Pink Tink a Moped" I haven't owned my pink scooter in over a year now.

You are a braver man than I, all I can picture is some kind of weird accident that leaves me hobbling back to the ship and a long plane ride home. I know that it is suppose to be a friendly game and all but I tend to over do it.
