so, I started looking at cars for John. He really needs a new one and since our mortgage payment is going down by almost $200 maybe, just maybe we can squeak that into a car payment....we haven't had car payments for over 7 years!!! Will be odd. And it kind of makes me want the car!!

GREAT news about your mortgage payment going down! Go for it!!! Get a new car!

Hi all, I've tried to catch up , but have given up. Dh and I have been looking at excursions. We are looking at mostly tours in the different ports.
I've been looking throught our clothes as well, trying to put together outfits for the differnent deck parties and theme events. I am trying to keep our luggage to a minimum.

 

[Mom323]

Holly, any news about the new job? How's your saving for cruise plan going? Last I remember you had found an additional $300 dollars.

Good Morning!

Can I just vent? I HATE SNOW, I HATE SNOW, I HATE SNOW.

It is snowing again. I am sick of driving in the snow, shoveling the snow, and just looking at snow.

Okay.....I feel better now.

Thanks for listening!

OK.....I feel your pain! Well, only a small taste of what you folks get, I'm sure.

Yes, It is slow some. the last time I closed my eyes with my laptop on my lap and I feel asleep!!

Back when I was trying to catch up I saw someone posted about ear drops that reduce pain. Auralgan requires a prescription, Similasan is homeopathic and is over the counter.

I really really want to try the Palo chocolate souffle. But I don't want to go there for dinner because I don't fancy the menu at all. I wish they did the souffle at brunch.

Totally agree. I might have to go sit at the bar after dinner one night to try one.

 

[Mom323]

disneylover5, how is your son?

It is fun to sit in the bar in Palo

I would love to do that again!!!

Have you read Stephen White? He is from Boulder/Denver, CO (where I onced lived) so I can totally relate to the setting of his books. His lead character is a psychologist and he is always involved with the police to solve the crime.

No I haven't but I just looked him up on Amazon. Sounds kind of like the Alex Delaware novels I love so I will definitely pick one up.

Thanks!

That reminds me. Is there usually a murder mystery on the longer cruises?

Yes, its very campy.

I wonder if they ever update/change it? We went to it on our last cruise and enjoyed it but it was only about an hour the one time. The CM running the event was great - I think his name was Doug (same CM that was trying to win a contest to be in Rent) - he really made it pretty entertaining by embracing the cheesiness of it.

 

[disneylover5]

disneylover5, how is your son?

He is much better. still sick buy the fever is gone.

 

[Mom323]

Where is John and PJ and all the rest of the gang?

 

[Mom323]

He is much better. still sick buy the fever is gone.

Glad to hear that, it's tough when one of your chicks is far from home and sick.

We have only been on a 4 day and didn't do very many on board activities. This time we plan on trying to do more. We never realised there was a movie theater on board in addition to the Walt theater.

FYI, for those who have iPods, you can actually do this with an iPod too . . .

For $29 you can buy this, but should check compatibility with your iPod and your camera.

Home for a few minutes before ballet class . . . Too busy during the day to get on, and once again hopelessly behind.

not compatible with my classic iPod. Are there other options for transferring picture straight to my iPod without a computer. This was the only item that came up when I tried to search.
