They'd much rather be closer to the grandkid but it's too cold here in Colorado for their thin SoCal blood! 
Hi -
Just checking in - Thank you all for the well wishes - I survived my (3hr) surgery and I'm doing okay thanks to Vicodin!
This was the 3rd attempt at the graft - to make a long story short I went to a specialist at UCLA who actually developed a number of these techniques - he also lectures and teach worldwide. So, I arrive at 6:40am and open the door and there is a room full of Japanese dentists - my surgery is part of his teaching course!!! So I blurt out here I am your guinea pig. I guess it was just as well I was sedated during the procedure or my warped sense of humor might have puzzled the Japanese.
Shelly- I hope all is well with you & you DH gets better.
and
to everyone sick/not feeling well.
I spent yesterday off & on trying to catch up - I don't know the full story with this other thread - but Lisa you are wonderful. Period.
And, I am so enjoying everyone here - such fun and comraderie - what a Great Cruise this will be.
Happy Wednesday Everyone! Chris
Why not??

Should I add this to the binder to karyokee night? http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i75/mrmerlin56/p25-1.gif?t=1173240184
"her Majesty". its all about!
Jonesing - hope you don't mind putting my 2 cents in but let me share something that happened to me on the 11-Nighter in Sept. For some reason, right in the middle of the cruise - about 5 days in - in Antigua to be exact, I lost over 500 photos on my 4 gig card - compactflash. It ended up being some kind of spark or someone got a hold of it and JUMBLED everything - my friend called it mojo'd. Anyway, to make a long story short somewhat, tried to recover it in some shop. NOPE! All gone - I was going to reformat but some little voice told me not too. Then I got home and contacted a friend who had friends in HIGH HIGH places. W/O going into details my photos were finally recovered but no thanks to me.
My friend HIGHLY suggested that I still to a 1 GB and buy several of them - he also suggested to stick to SanDisk as most government agencies use that brand and have the software to recover any info. (Read into it what you want here- AKA Witness Protection
) I, however didn't listen and when he said 1, I thought he said 2 and went out and bought a SanDisk Extremem Fast 2 GB - scared to use it but have since bought several other 1 gb just in case! Anyway, back to my story - lost only about 15 of them and several were patchworked together but the one I most wanted - my MASTERCARD PRICELESS memory ones were finally recovered - I told you all that I had a photogod watching over me - when I finally learn how to resize correctly just may have to post those - they're hilarious - ask some of the 11_nighters that have seen them -
(Lets just say it involves DH, Brand new camcorder and the Devil's Triangle!)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Thank you Lisa. We know how much time you put into this effort as a volunteer. We have a wonderful, fun group of people here and nothing is going to ruin this cruise for any of us. This is our trip of a lifetime and I think we can and should just ignore anything negative that gets thrown our way. That is what I intend to do. No one is going to rain on my parade, and don't let anyone rain on yours.
After walking around all day, the last thing I want to do is go to PT. 
I keep expecting my "weeding" out notice.
I have never received a "mod" notice on any board I've posted, but I'm constantly rereading my posts because I'm concerned that an attempt at humor or an opinion may upset someone. There can be a fine line between what's funny and what's offensive. It's easier to gauge that line when you know someone personally and can get non-verbal feedback, but it's something I've worried about here on Dis. I think a "moderated" forum does help keep a basic pirate code, but it's great that there are other forums out there for those who have other tastes. None-the-less, I certainly hope I've never posted anything that's upset someone, apologize if I have, and would always welcome a quick PM if something I've posted seems inappropriate.
If I won the lottery and money was no longer a problem. I would buy my DREAM HOME on the Big Island of Hawaii, South Kohala District @ Mauna Lani

Morning,
And I thought I was talkative! Will be going on this cruise next year too. Haven't posted here (other than to say hello to Mary Rose, Tina, Andy, etc) on this thread but saw that it was probably time to post.
Before I went on our first cruise (and first visit to the US) last year, I met the most fantastic people here and on the other board, too many to mention, who made my whole holiday an amazing experience. Everyone was so so nice to us. For that reason we decided to go on the med cruise and then to book the Panama cruise too, and we are so looking forward to it. I rang and got my rate for HOJO yesterday and was thrilled because living in Ireland, there is no way on earth I would be able to get local insider information as I do from knowing all these people.
I don't know who sent that PM to you guys yesterday, and I know that plenty more don't either (they have said it publically) but it is certainly working towards a "Them versus Us" culture, which would be a terrible shame. Rather than selling the positives of another site, it is making you doubt the people there, and that is not right.
MR, you said "they are trying to get a rise", I promise you it is not "they". Some want to post here, some want to post there and some like me want to post in both, but it should be a choice, not a directive, by anyone.
I want to be able to hold my head up and say hello to everyone and meet like minded people who pay a lot of money to enjoy the short amount of time we get off each year, not to worry about the " what group are you with" scenario.
I currently post and plan on a different site, because it suits me, and that's what it's about. Choice.
Now to those that know me, it's quite short really!
Have a nice Wednesday!
Hi there!
I agree on the point that one person shouldn't be representative of an entire group of people.
...
I know some wonderful people that do post there but still post here! So I know that they wouldn't agree with the email about the DISboard being so horrible.
I agree. I don't want to be worrying about who I'm talking to and if they are on the same board/same group and what if I'm talking to so and so and the other group sees me talking to them and gets their panties in a wad thinking I've "changed" sides.. I don't want to have sides to this. I wish we could just all go together and not have to pick sides.
Oh and btw, this is just my opinion but I think it might be better that if we receive more emails from said person that we not discuss it on our thread. ... Maybe we could just PM Lisa or something to let her know it's going on (since she is a moderator) and leave it off this thread.
