It looks so stately compared to its draber neighbor.

We just got our new passporter Saturday. Love how it has stuff about San Juan, I was getting worried about not knowing anything about excursions until we got onboard. The rainforest tour sounds awesome!

Double digits, here we come!

Andy, tomorrow is you surgery, right? I am sure all of us 8/21 curisers wish you the very best, and pray for a speedy recovery.
Good luck tomorrow, and get well soon.

Yes, Tuesday is the Big Day, and I can't wait to get it over with so I can start feeling better, and get off this pain medication!!!

 

[denise5374]

But pain medication can be fun!!!:sleep:

Andy, You will be in my prayers. Best wishes on a speedy recovery!!

As will Hazel, since she will have to wait on you until you are mobile again. (and some men can be REAL babies LOL)

 

[Verandah Man]

(and some men can be REAL babies LOL)

Hey, I resemble that remark, LOL!!! Actually, Hazel will have two babies on her hands, me and the seven month old that she is babysitting. Hazel is the one who will be needing more prayers than me, LOL!!!

 

[Maleficent59]

Hazel, tie him down! Do not let him walk around and definitely do not let him bend down to print postcards on his printer!!! Oh Aaaannddyyyy - try really hard not to tie up the phone line for too long! I know you'll have withdrawal pains, but your health is much more important!! Praying for a speedy recovery!

[Note: I talked to Andy yesterday and he said that he was undergoing general anesthesia for his surgery. So, he may be "out of it" for most of today. He will also not be able to use his normal computer because he needs to keep his knee elevated. He will be relegated to using an older laptop with a telephone modem line. Poor guy! ]

So, how are the rest of you? We're baking here! It was >100 degrees yesterday and we are already in the middle of a bad fire season. Yikes! We've been watering everything twice as much as usual, but we have to be careful not to start mini-mud slides by over watering.

We are waiting anxiously for Disneyland's 50th announcement tomorrow and hopefully, DCL's accompanying sailing schedule for 2005. We'd love to sail out here! Are any of you planning to book one of the west coast cruises? If so, give us a holler - we'll see you at Disneyland!

 

[goingbacksoon]

Like many of us, Andy must be beneficiaries of a a high speed DSL or cable line. Hopefully he can give us an update on his laptop using snail-net.

It's been waay hot here too Sarah, although we're not quite the fry-eggs-on-your-hood temperatures here in Westchester. Hopefully everything stays in place and unlit over there.

We'll probably on the last sailing (no one better take my idea!) because it works with school and such. How about you? We'll probably try and visit the improved mouse house this weekend as well.

Oh well, back to studying. P-chem and ethics tomorrow. Yaaaaaay. (sarcasm)

Ok, Californian's...those are fighting words...Here in PA it is 54 degrees and sunny. Yesterday it was 50 degrees and raining..ABSOLUTELY miserable Monday!!!

I think my grass grows about 6 inches everyday, we have had so much rain! I don't think the rset of this week is supposed to be much better, highs in the mid-60s!!!

On a serious note, I hope the fires aren't too bad this year..keep watering.

We are almost down to double -digits!! YAHOO!!!!

 

[goingbacksoon]

Denise -

A little rain right now would be a welcome sight, right here in my office. I'm almost envious.

And if you could do something about those darn gas prices too, we'd be set!! lol.

goingbacksoon

 

[denise5374]

What are you prices like there?? Around here it is up to $1.85 for regular unleaded, I think over $2.00 for premium(which I don't use).....The prices keep getting worse. My DH drives 45 miles each way to work so those rising prices hurt! I am thinking it might be worthwhile to get him one of the hybrid cars!

 

[Maleficent59]

Hmm ... I miss the cooler weather but don't miss the fog (we're from San Francisco). Sunshine is nice, but >100 degree weather(starting in the spring) is a bit too hot! I had a slight burn on my hand yesterday from accidentally grabbing the metal part of the seatbelt (I'm covering up all the metal parts from here on out!). The air particulate level is high (especially with the ash from the fires - but not nearly as bad as during last year's fires!!) so it's been tough on folks with allergies!

The "improved" mouse house? Are you referring to all the renovations and paint jobs? Areas were still fenced off last weekend, but I'm sure they'll have DL and DCA looking great tomorrow! We are busy with yet another wedding this weekend, so will not be visiting the parks (famous last words). Regarding the cruises, we'll be happy to be on any of the sailings! Alan - go back to studying!

Gas prices: ~$2.25 unleaded (don't even look at the premium prices)!

 

[Credit Man]

The price of gas in Central NJ, although going up is still not as bad as some. Filled up this week for $1.65 regular. We are still an all full service state.

 

[Maleficent59]

Update on VM: he's not feeling so well. He's feeling nauseous and tired. He says that he's in a little pain. But Hazel is at the pharmacy right now filling his new script and buying saltine crackers.

There are a couple of threads on the boards, but here's a message from Andy:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=560574&perpage=15&pagenumber=4

He's grateful for all the support and will be back on the boards soon!

 

[goingbacksoon]

We filled up at a place that had it for $2.13 on Friday. You'd think they were giving it away by the amount of people there.

Hopefully the finals won't be so bad. (Again, famous last words)

Good news about Andy, I'm sure he will be up and at it again soon.

[denise5374]

Creditman, I used to have to go to Princeton once a month for work and I loved filling up there...gotta love full service!!

Glad to hear good news about Andy...thanks for the update and link.

Goingbacksoon....Good luck with your finals!!!

I would love to go on th 8/20/05 reposistioning cruise, don't know if we can swing th $$ though....MAybe I will find out prices anyway.....

 

[Maleficent59]

I tell you, it's price gouging! Had to fill up my car during lunch and one gas station had unleaded (the cheapest one) at $2.29/gal. Went to the one around the corner for $2.23/gal. We've been considering a hybrid car for the past couple of years. We may reconsider getting one this summer if the prices keep going up! I love the Princeton campus! It's gorgeous!! West Coast schools just don't have the same character.

Marcotta has been sending me links to the DCL West Coast cruise announcements. So, which one are you booking Scott? Want me to book a cabin for you on the cruise we book on?

 

[Colestat]

Gas Prices - one of the great things about NJ - I heard on the radio the other day - NJ has the lowest gas prices in the nation.
$1.69 / gallon for regular.

I am so spoiled by full service - having lived here my whole life. I remember the first time I was out of state and had to fill up, didn't know what to do and had to ask for help. It was embarassing.

 

[denise5374]

A funny self-service gas story, when PA went to almost all self-serv my mom didn't know how to pump gas, so she pulled into the station and drove her car over the house and then tried to pump the gas....She was so angry because it wasn't working until the attendant came out and told her!! I was in the car and about 13 years old and I was HYSTERICAL! To this day, she still hates to pump gas!!
