I told you that I gues we aren't clever enough for the tag fairy!

Yep...the Tag Fairies are pretty sneaky......

I love mushroom risotto. I love seafood risotto. I love plain risotto. Heck someone could offer me Old Shoe Risotto and I would probably love it!

Wow, I don't have a recipe for Old Shoe Risotto - care to share?

My neighbor Sam was in trouble again, this time for forgetting his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry! She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!! "

The next morning Sam got up and left the house very early. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a gift-wrapped box in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe, went out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and inside found a brand new bathroom scale.

Sam has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him!

Thought this was fitting after the trying to be good discussion!

Even my DW laughed at this.

Annette, JoJo and I are traveling to Dallas. Right now I am in the backseat of Annette's minivan . We are just west of Knoxville, TN and will stop for the night on the west side of Nashville. That will leave us about 700 miles to go tomorrow.

My inverter is messing up so I am on battery power. It lasts about an hour then I shut down to recharge then surf some more. I need a new inverter!

 

[dahuffy]

That is disgusting !!!

David

Looks like something we'd see down here,actually. No different than diggin' a hole and throwing it in on top of the hot coals really. Actually better,doesn't have to cook for 2 days!

 

[dahuffy]

Way too cute!!! I wouldn't have thought to look at the floor....we have a pup, too.

Bo at 14 weeks:

I can't believe how much he's grown in just a month or so!!

Awww Stace, he's adorable! I always want to smoosh those puppy cheeks I know, I'm weird.

 

[dahuffy]

Ahhhhhhhhh Stace, I just want to pick him up and hug him, another cutie. "ALMOST" makes me want to go out and get another puppy.

Aw,comeon Andy, you know you want one!

1) Are you innocent? Why?

2) Do you floss? And how long do you brush?

3) Are you making plans for our TOAL yet? What's your most recent TOAL consideration?

4) Would you sail DCL around the world given the opportunity? And what cabin catagory would you PAY for if you were ready to do it? Use you imagination when defining "READY".

5) What is your FAVORITE TV series (if any.... if none then make one up!)

6) What is your favorite feature of your home? Any least favorite aspects?

7) If you could change any ONE condition or feature of your occupation - what would it be - feel free to use your imagination (or not) as anything is possible as such!

1) Are you innocent? Why? because I haven't been caught yet

2) Do you floss? And how long do you brush? yes most days I floss and I brush for 2 minutes - I have an electric toothbrush so it times me so I can't cheat

3) Are you making plans for our TOAL yet? What's your most recent TOAL consideration? heck yes! whether to pay it off in full seeing the NZ$ was the highest against the US$ that it has EVER been (nearly 80 cents to the US$) - we decided to do it. We have also been throwing around pre/post cruise ideas - mostly where we will stay.

4) Would you sail DCL around the world given the opportunity? And what cabin catagory would you PAY for if you were ready to do it? Use you imagination when defining "READY". In a heartbeat - where do I sign up? I'd go for cat 11/12 - we don't spend much time in our cabin and just want to be on that darn boat! Heck to be honest, we don't even care where it goes

5) What is your FAVORITE TV series (if any.... if none then make one up!) CSI LV but my dirty secret when it comes to TV is Project Runway and America's Next Top Model... I'm so pleased Melrose didn't win!

6) What is your favorite feature of your home? Any least favorite aspects? I love the floor to ceiling windows in pretty much all rooms (all bedroom & living areas) - it makes it very bright and sunny. Least fav... it could do with better insulation.

7) If you could change any ONE condition or feature of your occupation - what would it be - feel free to use your imagination (or not) as anything is possible as such! I'm one of those lucky people that LOVES my job. If I could change anything, maybe work 4 days a week for the same/more pay. I work for a fab company with a great boss, good team leader and interesting and challenging work.

I'm going to be spinning around over that episode...

[dahuffy]

DON'T BELIEVE HER!! SHE PHOTOSHOPPED THOSE PICS JUST LIKE CRASH DOES!!

 

[paulasillars]

Is it too late if I get mine in Jauuary??? I forgot to ask doctor about it last week.

I'm not sure how long it takes to take affect. Last one I had, if you had a booster within the year it had 10 year protection but they think it may actually work for a lifetime - vaccine just hasn't been around long enough yet to say that for sure.

Unless you have strong objections to vaccines, you should have it regardless of going on the cruise anyway.

My dd had one of the series as an infant.

DH and i have never had them but apparently my county job will pay for them at no cost to me if i ask for them.

Last year i didn't do them because i wasn't sure with my surgery coming up.

I think i will get them for TOAL though.... i can get both A&B shots..

DH.....He's outta luck... He just better stay on the boat with HJ

 

[brack]

Sorry I missed you! We are sitting in Louisville right now. We went to the Louisville Slugger Factory yesterday afternoon. This morning we pick up the boys' personalized sluggers and head to Columbus, OH.

Can't wait to see your pics!

As you are driving east we are driving west. It's a shame we don't cross paths as we head to Dallas tomorrow.

Captain . . I love when you do these questions . . .makes it fun to get to know one another . . .

1) Are you innocent? YES Why? Because I am blond and I chose to be that way

2) Do you floss? And how long do you brush? I floss occasionally. I really don't like to, but I do brush for quite a while. Gotta get each spot TEN times

3) Are you making plans for our TOAL yet? What's your most recent TOAL consideration? Definitely making plan!! DH just realized he'd better request the 3 weeks of vacation soon. DH would like to spend time at DL before and WDW afterward. So far, that's it for the plans. Oh, one more, we have friends the frequent Aruba. They strongly suggested the four-wheeler excursion to the other side of the island. That's it for our plans so far.

4) Would you sail DCL around the world given the opportunity? And what cabin catagory would you PAY for if you were ready to do it? Use you imagination when defining "READY". We were just discussing over dinner how we'd like to do a Med cruise in 2009. Guess we could just keep on keeping on . .. LOL. We'd stick with our category 9. I like to be close to the base of the ship b/c it rolls less, but I could see the advantage to a veranda for a cruise that long

5) What is your FAVORITE TV series (if any.... if none then make one up!) Gotta say that DH & I both are addicted to 24. We also like CSI NV (like Paula).

6) What is your favorite feature of your home? Any least favorite aspects? Considering it has been 85 - 100 degrees lately our favorite part of our home is our POOL! My other favorite part is the location. We're close to everything around here. My least favorite is QUITE a list. Right now we need another bedroom and at least a screened in porch. We hope to be building within two years to get the home we have pictured on the refrigerator. Just gotta find a piece of land with waterviews and very few neighbors and a Starbucks close at hand.

7) If you could change any ONE condition or feature of your occupation - what would it be - feel free to use your imagination (or not) as anything is possible as such! Good question . .. since I own the company this is constantly on my thoughts. I think the biggest thing I'd like to do is improve my ability to duplicate myself. I have a thriving web design business, but I'd like to have 5-10 other trustworthy contractors that I could contract work out to and still make a bit myself. I'm really good at creating business and developing clients, just need someone who can do the backend work for a reasonable price and on time . .umm is that ONE thing ??

Thanks Captain

That is so way COOL!!!

My kids would just flip for something that special. What a great suvenior!

 

[brack]

OMG....I got a TAG!!!!

Does everyone see my tag?????

I'm so excited, I got a TAG.

THANKS TF!!!!!

Congratulations!

1) Are you innocent? Why?

As was clearly stated in chat on Friday, I am innocent. Innocence is an opinion, not a fact (hence a jury decides if they think someone is guilty or innocent).

2) Do you floss? And how long do you brush?

I floss, not nearly as much as my dentist would like. Several minutes of brushing usually, but depends on how far behind I am.

3) Are you making plans for our TOAL yet? What's your most recent TOAL consideration?

I wish it was here. If you would like to see some of my planning links, etc. visit here, my latest find/link was Cabo Dolphins.

4) Would you sail DCL around the world given the opportunity? And what cabin catagory would you PAY for if you were ready to do it? Use you imagination when defining "READY".

I will someday. I will let you know after the TOAL. I have had Cat 9, can imagine the balcony categories and am doing 10 on TOAL. I think I can live without the balcony or porthole, I just love the Deck 4 chairs....

BTW, who can I visit during the panama canal passage to take some great balcony pics?

5) What is your FAVORITE TV series (if any.... if none then make one up!)

Monk, Psyche and House.

6) What is your favorite feature of your home? Any least favorite aspects?

This may sound silly, but its home. We are there. We have great neighbors. We have enough room not to be on top of each other. But most of all its our home.

7) If you could change any ONE condition or feature of your occupation - what would it be - feel free to use your imagination (or not) as anything is possible as such!

I'm in enough trouble at work for speaking my mind on this subject.....

However, if you have a few hours to kill on the TOAL and want to ply me with drinks (on your tab), I can totally bore you on the subject of how government can run better.....

Anyone interested in reading about the vaccinations that we have been talking about, below are links to the CDC Patient information sheets. Remember nothing is required for our trip.

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B

Yellow Fever

The only one that might be recommended would be the Hepatitis A. Check with your doctor soon because we are coming up on one year and you will need 12 months (2 shots) for the vaccination to work.

My dr. doesn't seem too concerned about it but I am. I have asthma and a coronary stent, Kev is diabetic. Wonder if I can go to my local State Health Dept. for these?
