Stephanie, we already shipped boxes yesterday but still undecided about the Pepsi. We would probably ship 3 refrig packs. The weight of that would be unbelievable. Plus, how are you going to bubble wrap and box it?

Tape and bubble wrap each pack around it. The packs themselves should protect the cans, but you will need to do something to keep the packs from sliding and shifting. So wrap that packs and then do rolled up bubble packing between the packs.

I am back from my surgical procedure. This one went much better than the last one. I am not nearly so loopy having taken the valium(good stuff ) earlier so it kicked in at the correct time. My dh is my chauffeur today and is taking good care of me. I have already started the pain pills before the lidocaine wears off. I am set!
I should be good to go in exactly 2 weeks from today which is the 5th.
Good timing, eh?

Hooray for all the Doc Dancing going on Every one else will be getting their soon. Remember pull tab.

I'm so glad things went well for you!! LOL enjoy those valiums!

 

[whazzapp]

I CAN NOT find any magnetic tape anywhere either!? What is up with that??

Amlee, we have had the same problem. We have been to three stores. One doesn't carry it anymore. The other two were out of stock. WEIRD!!

 

[micmse2003]

PS...Glad you got your docs!!! I wouldn't want to have to auction your two dinner spots on e-bay! Thanks to your DH (and you) for the help getting my photos on...

The pictures brought back lots of memories. You aren't going to be so lucky as to sell our spots on e-bay. Nobody would bid for them. Who else wants to be with all us crazies.

Carol Glad it is done and over with. Now just mend fast.

I have no idea. I'm going to bring the stuff up to the store and have the shipper or dh figure it out! Since he ships liquids everyday I'm sure he can handle it for me.

I've been to wal-mart and office max. Wally-world was out and the office max employee asked me what it was? She had never heard of it. Next stop will be either Hobby Lobby or Micheals. If I find it I'll buy an extra roll to bring with me in case anyone needs it.


Ok, I'm so excited about my fishy gifts!! They are so COOL!
My grandmother is here now doing my ironing for me so I can get ready to pack!!

Thanks for the offer. We will probably keep up the quest until we find some.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a scrapbooker/hobbyist and I've got a few rolls downstairs in my basement. I will also look while I am out this week and if anyone is having a difficult time finding it I will bring some for you. Just let me know if you need it so I bring enough.

Also, I saw magnetic sheets in 8 1/2" by 11" and smaller (4 x 6 ish) sizes at Deals (a dollar store) for a buck that are adhesive and those could be cut down to size. Just let me know if you need some!

HTH

I am soooo jealous! I HATE to iron!!!

I know Michael's carries magnet tape. fwiw I've bought it many times.

Could you send her over to my house when she is finished, I have quite a bit of ironing that needs to get done!

 

[Amlee]

I'll send her right over. I HATE ironing. It's one of the roots of all evil for me!!

DH (RBMIII), DD Beth and DSIL Jamie are planning a scuba dive in St. Lucia (they were unable to get all 3 on the DCL dive). Beth sent me this info and wonders if anyone else is interested in joining them.

From Beth:

This is who we are looking into going with. Their cruise ship special leaves in the morning, so they are working on a special package for us. However, it would be a lot easier with 2-4 more divers.

You can take advantage of our Cruise Ship Special which has 2 tank dives (in spacious, shaded boats with all amenities including washroom, fresh water, easy entry and exit facilities), all equipment (except wetsuit), transfers to and from your dives (we do pickup), lunch and more. You can view the special from the following link, you will also be able to view the pickup point which should be near your docking area. http://www.divefairhelen.com/cruise_ship_special.htm

The cost for 2 Divers is US$98.00, pickup time will be 8:30am, we are also willing to offer you a further $10.00 off the price if you pre-book, your new price will be US$88.00 per person.

We dive the prime reserves on the island from Anse Cochon to Soufriere, visiting spectacular reefs, walls or even wreck dive if that is your fancy. We desperately try to offer the best St. Lucia has to offer. Depths are between 40ft. to 65ft., you can view some of the sites we visit here: http://www.divefairhelen.com/dive_sites.htm

I hope this information is helpful to you, if you would like to confirm your trip, please let me know so I can provide further details on how to book your package and secure your special price. You may also contact me at anytime if in need of any other information.

Warmest regards and awaiting your reply,

Michael St. Omer

My husband dives and I showed him that website earlier. I don't know if he wants to do it though. He was looking into another one that leaves directly from Soufriere. If he decides that that is the dive he wants to do I will let you know since I saw they give discounts for having more divers. How funny my sisters name is Jamie too.

I did the doc dance yesterday too!

Stupid me! When you and I talked about it earlier, I thought you wrapped EACH can. Duh, just the refrig pack.

LOL I've done it both ways and I do believe we did talk about wrapping each can. I've done each can when I was sending other things and the packs took up to much room. I found that I could take each can out of the packs and then stuff chips and other such things around them in one package. I've done the packs when I was just sending him the packs of drinks.


LOL He's a yankee who went to college down here, then moved back home. He got addicted to Sun-drop which is only processed here and sold here. So ever so often I'll ship him some up north for a treat.
