Sorry I have been away...we had a horrific stomach virus this week. Even though I have been checking the posts I felt so crummy I had no desire to respond:sad2: :sad2:
Dream come true I know what you mean when you say you have been waiting ten years...I have been waiting 8. When me and my hubby planned our first "real" vacation I wanted a cruise so badly, He promised if we went where he wanted that year we could book a cruise for the next year. Well I came home from that Vaca preggers and have been waiting for my cruise ever since. I finally booked it on my own and told him about it later because I was done with the million and one excuses....now he is more excited than me!!!!
I can't wait!!!!! We start our Vacation in 35 days!!!!:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
 
Oh and what i am looking forward to the most....It would have to be spending some nice alone time with Chris. We have never been on a vacation where we have babysitting or a kids club.
 
good morning everyone!! It's really starting to warm up here in Southern California and we are having beautiful spring weather. However, I don't like waking up to it being dark outside still. It's almost 7 and still dark!! Makes me want to go back to bed!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Here is a great video from a spectator's point of view of the recent Shuttle launch: http://onorbit.com/video/sts123channel

You can see what I mean by the "orange daylight" and if you turn up your speakers you can get a sense of the 'crackling' noises my DS was referring. This video was probably taken from about 3 miles away.
 

we have had things sent on past cruises but do not think we will this time. We have also had things sent to friends staterooms before too
 
No we aren't having anything sent. I did pack a few surprises though so I am hoping that the room steward can put them out for me.
 
Good morning everyone - happy Thursday!

It is supposed to get near 50 here today. Yeah! After this long, snowy winter I'm more than ready for some nice weather. Doesn't mean it won't get cold again but even a few nice days help.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Call it a hunch <wink> but I believe nobody on this thread watches American Idol. :)

Anyhooo, This week's theme was the Beatles; from which the contestants had to choose to sing a song. One girl sang "Come Together."

Mind you, I've heard the song a million times but I never realized just how bizarre the words are. I wonder what the Beatles were smoking when they wrote that song. Sooo, for your perusal pleasure, here they are:

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me.
 
More interesting reading, I {kid} you not.. {kid} replacing an expletive! ;-)

Number 2 Gets A Whole New Meaning


The bathroom.

Considered by many, including myself, to be the last true refuge for privacy. (Even though every single member of my family from the tallest to the smallest on four legs tries to follow me in.)

That porcelain throne, coupled with a lock on the door means the rare peaceful, albeit productive, sliver of time in our busy lives. Add a book, magazine, or hell, even the back of a shampoo bottle to the mix for reading pleasure, and I dare any one among us to deny the feeling that we are somehow multitasking.

Some people take their potty time very seriously. A few minutes just won't do. They take drinks, food, a whole newspaper. My father could not only read a book during his extended loaf popping sessions, he could write one as well. I still remember when he went from amateur to professional in the colon cleansing races - it was when padded toilet seats first appeared in stores.

No more did his tender hiney have to endure the abuse and inevitable red ring around his rosey booty and thighs. Rather, he - to this day - is cossetted by puffy vinyl, soft lighting, and a magazine rack under the TP.

But I received a story earlier today which makes my father look like a nonstarter. He is definitely a bronze medalist compared to this Oval Olympian...

It seems a 35 year old Ness City, Kansas woman took the meaning #2 to a whole new level.

Until authorities recently pried her off, she had been sitting on her boyfriend's toilet, steadfastly refusing to budge - eating and drinking and sleeping - FOR TWO YEARS.

TWO YEARS. I {kid} you not.

According to the boyfriend, she entered the bathroom long ago, and simply refused to come out, always staying seated. He begged her, and everyday she would reply, "Maybe tomorrow."

Lucky for him, since tomorrow never came, there was a second bathroom in his house for his use.

Authorities finally received a call from the man on February 27. Sheriff Bryan Whipple - and no, I am not making that name up - states that the man said, "there was something wrong with his girlfriend."
Ya think?

And it took you two years of serving her room service in the john to figure that out?

Something tells me the boyfriend has a little low-flo issue in his own mental plumbing.

When authorities and paramedics arrived, they found the woman was not just adamant about not leaving, she was unable to get up. Her sweat pants were down around mid-thigh, and it appeared her legs had atrophied. Also, her skin and body fat had, after two years, actually grown attached to the toilet seat. :scared:

Whipple said, "She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body. It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

He added, "We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital. The hospital removed it." :eek:

Police are still investigating her mental state, the boyfriend's reasons for the prolonged wait to call for help, their luck at having a sheriff named Whipple...
 
I watch American Idol. And I know Mary does too. :)

Mark and I both do, but I have to admit I haven't watched as closely this year. I've been hooked on Biggest Loser on Tuesday nights and last night we were watching August Rush. We did turn in to watch the last 1/2 hour.
 
Michael and I watch it as well! Love it but we are okay with skipping it the last week of April.

Seriously, I cant believe we are cruising next month! WooHoo!

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
 
What a beautiful day around here today. It was up in the 50's and I even managed to go out at lunch wearing only my suit jacket. Could it be Spring is here? I sure hope so. Now on to cruising!
 
A little story of what happened on Monday of this week. Everyone remembers the dis-messages recently about the Magic engine problem and the disappointed cruisers and the problem with not being able to dock at CC. After reading it, all DW could think of was: What if they cancel the cruise? :eek:

Monday afternoon the phone rang (not unusual as we are Realtors who do business out of the home) :surfweb: DW answered with the usual greeting “Good afternoon, this is Debra how may I help you?’ The voice on the line answered and said, “This is the Disney Cruise Lines and we are calling to advise of a cancellation of the April 26 cruise vacation”. DW said she took a deep breath as the voice on the line continued. “Your reservation for the excursion on St. Maarten has been canceled by the vendor”. It took a minute for DW to capture the full effect of what was said. “ Oh, ……….. oh…….. OK. The DCL person continued to advise the process to reschedule another excursion. After the phone call, all we could do was laugh! :rotfl: :lmao:
