May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 3

[scottishwee35]

I'm quite stressed about the reservatons tonight. Not sure I will sleep much - have to get up for 5am!!!

In the end really I think the excursions don't matter if they are full and Palo dinner shouldn't be too much of a problem with 15 nights - I could give that a miss anyway.

I just want to experience Palo brunch and high tea as we weren't able to do these on our last cruise and I think this will be our only chance!

Aye, I know. I feel like that too.

Cabo: Coastal Highlights Tour. Tyler will really dig the glass blowing factory and the cactus garden!

PV: Pirate ship, but will book through the company itself because it's cheaper.

Off to look more!

Hi Holly

I am sorry to hear about your son and hope he will be better soon. My daughter Olivia had high temperature last two weeks ago but she went to school. She was so stubborn girl!! she is fine now as had a bad cough last week.

Holly and Tyler, I am so gald you are able to come with us!! It will be so much fun!!

Congrats!!
Lisa

Yes, that is right

Same here. Just so glad it isn't on a work day.

mmm

That would be the 2nd one, your "Rockets". I never even knew about the other kind until this group enlightened me a while ago.


HORRIBLE internet connection today, so I doubt I'll be able to post more. Couldn't even connect all day! So if I disappear, you'll know why.

Holly

V.....I think Angie and Dennis got their own jeep.....they were saying that they had room for two more.

Hopeful someone have two spare seats? as my jeep is full as 4 of us adults.

I'll confess - Jelly Bellys

Jelly Beans

Okay I am off to bed and see the time is 1.02 am, another few hours, I will be back on.

oh thank you for reminding me! I want to bring some gingerale on the cruise with us this time in case someone gets sick again. Just a couple of bottles or so.

If you get seasick room service will bring you ginger ale and green apples. The green apples worked wonders in Dec when we were sailing thru 30 foot swells. Lots of sick people and the CMs were all saying eat green apples.

I am not a big candy fan . . . a little goes a real long way for me, other than dark chocolate.

Give me a bag of dark M&M's or Snocaps, and those will be gone!

BTW - had my physical the other day, and other than weight and allergies, I am healthy as a horse. Cholesterol is at 140, and all other blood work is in the desirable range.

We really like our doctor - she is about our age, owns DVC, and has been on DCL too, so we have a lot in common!

 

[LisaG520]

I've actually read about that remedy and everybody swear it works! I haven't heard him cough yet, but maybe that's because he's being still. Apparently it was a horrible cough that started yesterday morning. Now he's just wheezy. But I'll definitely use the Vicks if he starts coughing. Oh crap.....have to go buy some first. But will do that for sure.

Hope Tyler is feeling better soon!! Good thing he already has Monday off - an extra day of recovery.

 

[MrsMork]

Oooo I love Mary Janes and Bit O Honeys. But having a lot of crowns now has put them on my do no eat list. (along with Dots)

Oh Bit of Honey! We have stash of those in the MH also!! We are pathetic!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly, Shannon just asked me to clarify WHICH Reese's Peanut butter eggs do you like?

The big ones:

Or the little eggs (that look sorta like this as I couldn't find an actual image):

The BIG ones! I don't think I've ever seen small ones. I actually broke down and bought one of the big ones today at Walmart!

 

[Mom323]

Oh no! Sorry your family is going through this too! Well, his symptoms just started yesterday, so hopefully the Tamiflu will work for him. Problem is the taste! I just gave him the first dose a minute ago and he HATED it and I know I'll have trouble convincing him to drink it in the morning. Any ideas what to mix it with?

try applesauce. Tamiflu for kids is fruit flavored. The applesauce will also give him alittle something in his tummy and he'll be less likey to feel sick. Tamiflu on an empty tummy can make you nauseous.

Hi Karen-I did just order a few pairs of Eccos (boy are they expensive). I read that they work well with custom orthotics. I'll look into Merrill shoes also. It's just a bummer, I have tons of shoes and my favorites are Clarks cuz I slip right into them...fits with my "busy" lifestyle...running to pick up one boy here or drop off there. Oh well, I'll just have to adapt! So now that you've worn orthotics for 10 years, I'm assuming you've seen a difference (for the better, I hope)?

The Merrills I have are slip ons and are very easy!

I don't have much pain on a daily basis anymore. If I am walking a lot I still have difficulty later in the day or in the morning. If I wear shoes without my orthotics or I don't wear shoes around the house, I experience a lot of pain.

I have two sets, one for my "indoor slipper shoes" which are a slip on pair of Merrills and one for any outdoor shoes.

On the Palo bookings . . .

Since they are still allowing just one per party (one dinner and one brunch, etc.) . . .

And since we have TWICE as many nights PLUS one on this cruise . . .

Don't you think it should be EASIER to get a Palo reservation?

I know if you want multiples once we get on the ship, that may be more difficult to achieve, but I keep thinking there should be twice as much availability as on a normal 7 day, and everyone should be able to be happy!

Am I thinking incorrectly somehow here?

Thats how I see it too. I sure hope this is the case. I guess it will depend on how many space they open up for this booking time.

We have had the terrible flu in our house for a week now. The kids are out playing in a water fight and I still feel like crud. How does that happen? The weather is beautiful and I just want to go to the beach but I can't. My DH went fishing today. Nice! Well enough of my ranting. I hope every one else who got this is starting to feel better.

If you are wrong so am I. This is what I have been thnking all long.

Switching up the candy talk here a bit . . .

My weakness is ice cream. Just about everything else I give up when I am eating better is not too hard, but ice cream is very difficult.

We have a great ice cream place nearby that makes it on site.

Favorite Flavors:

Coffee Chocolate Chip - Coffee Ice Cream with dark chocolate chips

Chocoholic Chunk - Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate chips

And in case you sense a theme here . . .

Cake Batter - Tastes just like licking the bowl from your mom's yellow cake mix!

DH loves ice cream as well.

And I have a fondness for Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.

 

[MrsMork]

Mary Jane's?

I don't know how to post a link, but they are Atkinson's Peanut Butter Bars. They also make the Chick O Stix. Yum!!

Hi Lori, Sorry to hear your not feeling well. But it is good to see you on the boards. Bubba wants to know where your DH went fishing and for what.

Anybody have any idea what the dining schedule is going to be?

 

[MrsMork]

And Tillamook Vanilla Bean is our favorite ice cream...both of us. Put that in a bit of Root Beer and it is even better!!

OK - Can't read but just have to post this little note:::::::


P.I.F.


It's my 10 year old b-day party tonight - we have a couple rooms at a local hotel that has an indoor pool. 8 boys, including my 4. We will spend the night. Tomorrow I have a 10:45 flight to MSP to attend my Grandmother's service. I am SOOOOOOOO VERRRRYYYYYYY HAPPPYYYYYY about this. It will make going to the funeral a little easier. I'm sure my Grandmother would think it is a great idea for us to spend 15 nights together. Life goes by like a blink.

Try to post later, but just had to share my news!!

 

[MrsMork]

We are hearing they are still going to have the staggered dining.
