Calling All 8/19/06 Special Western Cruisers! AKA "The Cruisin' Castaways" Part 2

[mickeymom923]

Ouch Andy - I hurt just reading about the dog bite. Take care of yourself. By the way, how's your ankle doing?

Since we're past DCL members, we can all go to the past guest party and take over the whole room. Free drinks, snack and good old and new friends. Sounds good to me.

Terry - glad you're enjoying your job.

Terry and Mary Rose - please send me your LS orders. I have to get it to Doreen.

Susan, how is the bride to be? All excited I bet!

Hi Moira! The bride to be Lisa is doing great, going for last fittings for her gown. Lisa is an identical twin and last weekend was the bridal shower in NY. I walked in and saw her twin Laurie and her Mom Theresa said "thats laurie, not lisa!" Thank goodness lisa dyed her hair a little darker! I have some cute magnetic door signs for them some creative people over at the dis signs board made, as well as some Wedding t shirts for the couple. See you on the cruise!

Hi Guys,

Feeling a bit sore right now, thanks to a boxer/lad mix dog that decided he wanted a chunck of me this morning as I was reading meters.

The owner said don't worry, he's friendly, he won't bite. No sooner were the words out of his mouth, then chomp, the dog jumped at me and bit me in the chest. I went to the township doc to get checked out, the doc said I had three punture wounds. The area was cleaned out and treated with oinment, and I was also given a prescription for an antibiotic, which I dropped off at CVS to be filled on my way home. The doc also gave me some pain meds which I just had to take because this is really starting to hurt now.

I have to go back and turn in papers at work from the doc and go give my accident report to the police so they can follow up and make sure the dog has had all his shots and the dog's license are up to date.

So, how has everyone else's day been???

Wow, you are having a tremendous string of bad luck! You need to do something to counter the bad voodoo. Before the cruise!!

Hope you're feeling better soon, Andy.

Hello Everyone.. yes I am a day older and feel it every day...
MOIRA I can hear you as you type.. I cant wait to meet you. I will PM you with the website..from LS


DOREEN

Doreen, got your PM and sent one back... you are a star!

My memory on the wine packages is that the selection was heavy towards California wines and not as many international wines as I had hoped. You maybe had one or two selections of German, Italian, French, Australian, etc.

So if you want to try different Californian wines then the wine package would be good.

5by5 and Ski-and-Sea... thanks for this!

I am now swayed towards ordering separately...

And I love Hungarian wine, for the past seven years we have gone there for our holidays. Lovely people and place! Nice to hear there are some Hungarians on the ship too! Since I will get withdrawal symptoms I have booked a weekend for Caoimhe and myself to go in late September!

 

[Walsh clan]

Moira...what town were you originally from so that when I see Sarah's former teacher, I can mention it (I remember you said that you grew up 12 miles from her town). I think Ms. O'Shea was from Thule??

Hi Mary Jo!

Good memory!

Your teacher is from Thurles and I grew up 12 miles from there is a place called Cashel. Both of us would be from County Tipperary, which is very important to us when it comes to the local sport - HURLING! So wehn you see her, tell her from me - Up Tipp! And you will get a laugh for sure!

 

[kap158]

Andy - What happened? I hope you are going to be ok. I hope the dog has gotten all its shots and I hope the owner gets a fine. In my business I take care of alot of dogs and cats and no matter who come to the house they are alway on there leash until they get comfortable. You just never know especially in this kind of weather. I hope the pain medicine helps and you get some well deserved rest( what a way to get it)!!!!


Terry - did you get the info regarding LS?

Doreen finally got her birthday package from me and she was really surprised! Also she is out driving the car alone, it has a standard transmission!! I am glad I am in Virginia!!(just kidding Reenie!! )

One month from now won't we be having our first did meet???

Talk to you later!!

Awwh Andy, that's rough... hope you are feeling better! My day was not too bad at all, not compared to that incident!

Look after yourself.

Wow - how scary!!! Hopefully that owner is going to get into trouble over this. At the very least the owner should reimburse all the medical/pharmacy bills. Hang onto all your receipts.

We had a wicked thunderstorm last night. Dropped gumball sized hail stones. And the wind was blowing horizontally. I thought my windows were going to break with the hail pounding on them.

Lost power for five hours. We have half the house hooked up to a generator which covers the important things - heat, water, stove/microwave/frig, TV and this computer. Gotta have your priorities straight.

That's great to hear Susan! Love hearing about pre wedding things... Bit of a wedding freak! Favourite bit are the speeches!

Note, I am trying to reply to everyone separately to bring the count up... Want to hit 10,000! And if we only have 31 days left, that means on average we need 62 posts a day! I expect in the week coming up to it there will be great chatting but just in case...

 

[allshookup]

Terry: I saw that news report on TV last night. My DD & I were watching the news & I said, "OMG do not tell your father about this!" LOL Aren't I terrible? He refused to go see Poseidon because he said it would freak him out before the cruise. While we were food shopping today, I suggested we buy some bug repellent for our excurison to the Mayan ruins. He replied, "why so we don't develop Malaria while we're there? Remind me never to leave the country again!" Oh brother!

Andy: How could the owner say that dog was friendly? That is terrible! My dog would PROBABLY lick you to death, but I would never assume that especially since she's been known to get a little snappy when people approach me while I'm holding her. Of course once I put her down in the house she usually runs over & proceeds to pee all over our guest's shoes because she gets so darn excited. She's a cocka-poodle by the way, but I've heard them called cocka-piddles for a reason!

I can't believe we only have a month till the cruise? How is that possible? On one hand it seemed like it was going to be forever till it got here. Now that it's right around the corner...I'm wondering how it happened so fast?

Take care!
Diane

Hello,

I got back home around 2pm after giving my report to the police and filling out the accident report with my boss. When I walked into the police station, who was there, but the owner of the dog that bit me. He had to bring in all the dog's papers proving the dog was up to date with all it's shots. As soon as the man saw me walk in, he again said, "I'm so sorry about this, I still can't believe he bit you." I told him it was an accident and not to worry about it. Since it happened on the job, workman's comp is taking care of all the bills, thank goodness because Hazel just picked up my antibiotic and the 28 tablets came to just over $100. The pain med is helping, and I am putting ice on the wound to try and keep the swelling down. Other than that, all is well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Doreen, I wanted to let you know that Karen's shirt arrived a few minutes ago, I don't know if I will be working on it tonight. However, I will have it out in the mail, on the way to Karen, by the weekend!!!

I am looking forward to seeing you too - we havent decided if were gonna get a room for the night. I have to be somewhere the next morning so we may just drive over for a few hours and then drive home when the cruisers head to bed with dreams of the disney magic in their heads - LOL
