On the 2008 WBPC, Benita had a plate delivered to Cove Cafe for the Geezers. But, sadly, the young men in Cove Cafe on the WBTA did not take such good care of us.
We can order to room and bring our own if we want or just eat the tidbits that are in the cooler in Cove.
Oh no! GITs are anyone who wants to learn from the pros how to grow old without growing up!
Chuck and I are very boring....or just maybe Midwestern.....our first date was New Year's Eve the year I was a senior in High School....New Year's Eve 1969...Chuck had just graduated the previous spring....we never dated anyone else after that....got married 3 1/2 years later in 1970......that makes 42 years together but only 38 years married.

Dennis was the same with his first bypass in 1997. No symptoms, treadmill was fine. This time he had a heart attack with the chest pain, etc. My mom had classic chest/arm pain, nausea and sweating. She lives in an assisted living facility and they called me, I told them to call 911 and within 1.5 hours she had stents in place. No delay anywhere and because of the quick response of EMTs and hospital she had very little heart damage even though she was having a "massive" heart attack. We are so impressed with the International Heart Institute here. Amazing cardiac team. Anyway, she is 86 years old and all tuned up for another 86 now. This was the first time since 1957 that she had been in a hospital and she only stayed 2 nights!!

Don't forget your pins
And for those who forget theirs I am sure. Forgetfulness is forgiven among the Geezers. 
It is so hard to remember these things!) decided on the WBTA that we too should have pins. We have pins for Geezers and for GITS. 
After a few rounds furloughs of lay-offs in our newspaper division (with some pretty crappy severances) our company just offered some early retirement 'buy outs' to newspaper and broadcast employees. Package is one year full pay and full benefits...I qualified and I'm jumping at it! Ran the numbers and for me, and while the figures aren't scary, I will have to come up with a bit of additional income for a while.
My plan is to give myself a six week 'sabatical', to do some house puttering and take this wonderful cruise. THEN, refreshed and relaxed I'll start creating the next stage of life! (Actually have a neighbor with a salon and gift shop who is interested in selling some of my crafts there...a very interesting possibility!) And then....there's always moving to FL and going to work for DCL booking cruises...part time...so I can TAKE some cruises
With his lovely 2 year severance, don't be afraid to think 'outside of the box' for creating the next stage of your lives!

Hopefully at least a few of us will remember so we can make an initial meeting and get to know one another. After that, check in and see if any of us have remembered to come. I think we and Albert and Ann made it most every night on the TA. Such a great way to end the day.
Thank you, prayers are also sent from our part to your husband and mom
All I can say is that I have never seen such deep fear and despair in his eyes, than the day he found out that he had this heart attack. The thing is that we really have no idea when it happen and that is what has him on edge. Approx four weeks ago, he complained that his neck was hurting (stiff) and it would just get worse, a week went by and it kept getting worse so we went to visit the doctor because of his high blood pressure and to check his neck and when the doctor checked him his pressure was sky high and he decided to do an EKG and you wouldn't know, doctor suspected a heart attack. After that came confirmations with tons of other test, MRI, brain scan, stress test, tilt table, ECO, blood test. Lord it sure was a test, but we are here, he is standing! But for sure fear is prevalent in his eyes, the fact that something so silently came to damage his heart, I think has left him also with a mental scare.
I cannot seem to find the FE sheets, I have printed my group out all safe and secure, but I have a few FE kids gifts extra and would like to find some kids to give them too. Thought it may be easier now, that randomly putting them in an FE where I don't know the ages or sex of the kids.
I know there is a master list here, Is it located somewhere, I checked the first page???
Thanks for any help.
because my computer doesn't like the google docs. I can't print them or save them. I did same thing last night...did some gifts for kids not in our FE because I had extras from previous cruise.Hello All!
Just came back from a BIG shopping trip down in WA. Wow, I don't know what I have left to spend for the cruise after groceries, clothes for the kids, clothes for me and Shari.
Just wanted to let you guys know that Costco is selling 7 different types of Jamaican Jaxx Hawaiian shirts. I wanted all 7 cause they are all GREAT but only ended up buying 2. For $19.99 each I should have scooped them all.
I think kids are all set for the nice weather. Kids excited to wear new dresses/shirts/jackets etc for the cruise.
You guys and your Hawaiian shirts. I totally love them now!
Did you stay in Bellingham area or go further south? We live eastside of Seattle and often head to Marysville and the prime outlets and a super Wal-Mart to do our shopping...We have bought Costco Hawaiian shirts in the past and they hold up really really well.
