Gotta run. Have to make DH think I did something today.

It said that? Even the FOC doesn't hold that many.
So, on a 15 night cruise, will they pick 2 families?![]()
What does it mean to be "Family of the week?" I don't know that I'd want to be picked as "Family of the Week" for the Maintenence Department, KWIM? Do they give that family a plunger or something as a souvenir?
My family was chosen as Hilda from GS's "Magic family of week" on our cruise over Halloween. She was awesome! She left things for the kids every day....I've already told them not to expect that this time around. But it was such a nice surprise!

No,no....I was just referring to the fact that Catholics do not eat meat from warm blooded animals on Ash Wednesday or Fridays during Lent.....So, it's odd that he would be in Hooters sporting his ashes if he is there eating a meat entree. We can have seafood on days of abstinence.
Yeah. Hopefully one for Mex/Alaska.
I first heard about the governor's decision about the vacine down there on the View, then it was on the news tonight. I am thinking that I would have to file a protest & refuse to allow DD to have this vacine at this point even if it meant that she had to be home schooled. How is it actually being received down there?
By Grapthar's Hammer, it's Galaxy Quest.

I've heard that DCL prefers to make money on the big suites too. Roy didn't even cruise in the Roy suite.![]()
Well yes, there is always someone that has it worse, but don't you know you and your family are special? We love ya, that's all.
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 to be $160,140 for a middle income family.
Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.
But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into:
* $8,896.66 a year, or
* $741.38 a month, or
* $171.08 a week.
* That's a mere $24.24 a day!
* Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best financial advice is "if you want to be 'rich', don't have children. Actually, it is just the opposite.
What do you get for your $160,140?
* Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day
For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading "The Adventures of Piglet and Pooh" ,
* watch Saturday morning cartoons,
* go to Disney movies,
* wish upon a star.
You also get to:
* frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets,
* collect: spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas,
* hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day,
* cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
For $160,140, there is no bigger bang for your buck.
You get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and
* coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat to history to witness history:
* her first step,
* his first word,
* her first bra,
* his first date, and
* their first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal.
You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs called grandchildren and great grandchildren in your obituary
You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God.
You have the power to:
* heal a boo-boo,
* scare away the monsters under the bed,
* patch a broken heart,
* police a slumber party,
* ground them forever, and
* love them without limits...so that one day they, like you, will love without counting the cost.
That is quite a deal for the price!
Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren!![]()
