I'm heading off to bed as well, I've had a very bad day and have been in extreme pain. I've had to resort back to taking pain pills for these knees of mine. I'm "hoping" for a better day tomorrow. Hazel had to stop and get me another jar of Mineral Ice this evening.
Good Night All
What do you think? These Americans are complaining:
...that the food is too cold or hot, too fattening or healthy, too much or little, too exotic or ho-hum;
...that the ship is rocking too much;
...that the wonderful Jamaican Flounders nannies complained that DD was dropped off with a fully loaded diaper;
...that the kids' area of Deck 9 is too noisy but won't leave Jr. (12) to his own devices because they're way overprotective;
...that the cruise is too long;
...that they spent boocoo dollars and didn't get a private 3 hour audience with Mickey or Captain Tom.
But of course, those Americans aren't DISers!
Instead, the American DISers:
...will be handing out a frothy drink to anyone who wants one
...will gladly watch someone else's DKids so mom & dad can have some private Rasul/Palo time;
...will be walking around with a permagrin asking any DCL CM to confirm that the DISer is really truly on the Magic for TWO WEEKS!!
My father has been in a nursing home and I went every day to feed him breakfast. Because of my rotar cuff repair I couldn't go. In 8 days he just went south. He's in the hospital in ICU. Hooked up to all kinds of machines. Exactly what we didn't want. But because he had a minor operation they had to put in a breathing tube and he wasn't able to breathe on his own. I was there today and I don't think he'll leave the hospital. What happened to the golden years?
just because.

Well...the Good news is that we may not have to pay the Alternative Minimum Tax for this tax year. However, the bad news is that my DW may be laid off tomorrow.
She's a professor and received email 1 (paraphrasing): "Dear employees, as announced at March XX meeting, the company has been planning staff reductions. Those impacted will be contacted by their Deans by 11am tomorrow. Sincerely, College President."
E-mail 2 arrives (again paraphrasing) "Hello Shella! (sic), I need you to come in and meet with me, the HR Director and some other person. Please let me know if 11am or 2:30pm is alright with you. Sincerely, Your Dean."
She's been fulltime for 9 years and had at least 2+ years adjunct before that. We were hoping she'd be spared because she picks up so many weekend and evening courses, plus the 9 years of time in seemed like some seniority, plus there are only two females that teach CIS. I've reread it multiple times and tried to look at some way that there may be an actual outcome where she's not being let go, but why would the HR Director be included? plus the timing after the first e-mail just leaves us w/little hope.
The bright side, she is finishing her PhD coursework in the next 3 weeks and this may allow her more time to focus on her dissertation. Even still, the completion of her coursework this month gives her an EdS degree, which is a graduate degree (basically says I did my PhD work but haven't completed a dissertation yet).
Andy, I might have told you once before but please try Theragesic!!!It can be ordered at Sam's or other pharmacies if it is not on shelves. It works soooo much better than Mineral Ice, Ben-Gay etc.
If you lived closer I would let you try some of mine.
My DH agrees too.
