Oh thank you! I don't know how good of quality time it will be once I kill them from being stuck in the car for two days. Why couldn't you post today?

My router was goofing up. I tried the tricks I knew to try and get the little green light on again, but I knew I had to do something else, but didn't know what it was. Anyway, computer tech hubby came home and fixed it. Ahhhh, life is good again.

Lori, I feel the same way, I could leave our friends for FL. So, LISA and Erica, what kind of resident rates do you get? Do you get other discounts to other parks *gasp* like Universal or Sea World?

I didn't realize this is Calif's first time having the MNSCHWERFE Halloween party. Sorry I always get that abreviation wrong. My MIL, SIL and her kids will be going to it too. I wish I could go....

MY dh looked at RCCL going to catalina and a port in Mexico. Can you say tourist trap?! I'd love to go to the Bermuda islands from Boston, that would rock! Yes, my dh has a cruising addiction and won't admit to it.

Have the girls go without or minimal t.v., video games, ipod, for a couple days before the trip. Then give them back as you are traveling to drive to Grandmama's house. They'll be sucked in for sure! Of course, there's the ultimate t.v. to watch, out the van window. Give the girl's cameras and let them take pics! just some thoughts....

Sorry this post is a little random, there's a flying bug and its really annoying me. Either that or there's a crazy floater in my eye.

Awesome description Logan! Now I know I definitely can't miss him!

Yea! It was SOOOOOOOOOO cool though because i didnt even know that they did the whole Headless horseman thing.

 

[Captain Logan]

OH! Dudes, quick question, who went to the spa on the ship?

OH! Dudes, quick question, who went to the spa on the ship?

I know Erica and Lionel did. I saw them....

My dh had a deep tissue w/ rocks massage, My MIL had some kind of strobe thing done to her, and I had a seaweed wrap. Ala human sushi roll...

I have to say that the shower in the spa was far superior to the stateroom cabins. It was all tile, had the main shower head (with awesome pressure), and other side jets with temperature control. Sure wish that shower was in my cabin!

I'm listening to 80's music via satalite t.v.

 

[Captain Logan]

Oh poor Logan! I hope he gets better soon. Apparently the cruise got half of the DISers sick! (Kidding of course, but I got sick, Lisa and Conor...then Holly got sick afterwards, and Logan and Lisa's mom...) Coincidence?...

Im ALMOST better...

Good ideas I will try that. Although we don't have all the gadgets that a lot of family's have. No portable DVD. No IPODS We do have Game-boys but that is it. I know deprived kids. Actually Emily is too little to ask and Kristin has never really asked. So far!

Here's a random article from Yahoo I just snagged. INDIANA is on the list!

E. coli cases traced to bagged spinach By ANDREW BRIDGES, Associated Press Writer
11 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - An outbreak of E. coli in eight states has left at least one person dead and 50 others sick, federal health officials said Thursday in warning consumers not to eat bagged fresh spinach.

ADVERTISEMENT

The death occurred in Wisconsin, where 20 others were also sickened, said Dr. David Acheson of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. The outbreak has sickened others — eight of them seriously — in Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah.

FDA officials do not know the source of the outbreak other than it appears to be linked to bagged spinach. "We're advising people not to eat it," Acheson said.

The outbreak has affected a mix of ages, but most of the cases have involved women, Acheson said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Wisconsin health officials alerted the FDA about the outbreak Wednesday. Preliminary analysis suggests the same bug is responsible for the outbreak in all eight states.

E. coli causes diarrhea, often with bloody stools. Most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, although some people — including the very young and old — can develop a form of kidney failure that often leads to death.

Anyone who has gotten sick after eating raw packaged spinach should contact a doctor, officials said.

Other bagged vegetables, including pre-packaged salads, apparently are not affected. In general, however, washing all bagged vegetables is recommended.

E. coli lives in the intestines of cattle and other animals and typically is linked to contamination by fecal material. It causes an estimated 73,000 cases of infection, including 61 deaths, each year in the United States, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Sources of the bacterium include uncooked produce, raw milk, unpasteurized juice, contaminated water and meat, especially undercooked or raw hamburger, the agency says on its Web site.

In December 2005, an E. coli outbreak sickened at least eight children in Washington state. Officials traced the outbreak to unpasteurized milk from a dairy that had been ordered to stop distributing raw milk.

Last October, the FDA warned people not to eat certain Dole pre-packaged salads that were connected to an outbreak of E. coli infections in Minnesota. At least 11 people were sickened.

In 1993, a major E. coli outbreak sickened about 700 people and killed four who ate undercooked Jack in the Box hamburgers in Washington state. That outbreak led to tighter Agriculture Department safety standards for meat and poultry producers.
