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

[scottishwee35]

Deborah as far as Cabo goes I can't help you as I am not a beach person. we're going to do the harbour cruise and scenic drive, but i think that would be boring foe your age children. I am sure they would love a beach though after all that time on the ship.

I was looking at the harbour cruise and scenic drive sound good but i think about kids and like to take them out to beach maybe I will read cruise critic to give me any idea.

My day started off bad. Got some bad news about a good friend of mine. She is about 2 years out of breast cancer and they found a spot on her lung. So I dropped my daughter off at school and told my boss I had to go and drove away. He always looks at me funny when I do that...thank god they're flexible. So please send your thoughts and prayers my way for my friend. She is weighing very heavy on my mind and I can't really talk to anyone here as she doesn't want people to know yet. Tomorrow she goes in for a complete CT of her lung. They were actually checking her abdomen last time and happened to see the lung. Hopefully she'll get the results by friday. Anyhow, I just want it to be something other than metastatic (did i spell that right?) breast cancer. Sorry to be debbie downer, but I had to get it off my chest.

Steph, I'm so sorry about the news about your friend. Thoughts and prayers and good wishes coming your way that it ends up being benign. And a ton of hugs too.

Love it!
That's kinda how I feel I'm happy with me and that's what's important!

You know, since turning 50 I decided that I have earned a few more luxuries in my life.....like bigger diamonds and upgrading all my silver jewelry to white gold. It makes me happy and I feel that I have earned it. Once you say that you have lived for 50+ years, you feel experienced at life, comfortable within yourself and that you deserve to have anything you want because you have earned it, you have paid your dues and now it's your turn to reap the benefits of the good life. Like Tink says, It's all about me now.

Holly are yoiu going to get that great avatar enlarged and printed out to put on your cabin door?

 

[tigger137]

JOHN1 and DENNIS!!!! RUN!! They are talking about THE SURGERY again!!!

This would surely entail a new group name, rather than 'The Lost Beer Boys'.
Any suggestions?

I am only just beginning to feel like this Deb and I am 60 in Marcheek: ) I feel I have to make up for lost time now and stop feeling guilty about such things as sitting here on the internet, and as said before going on nice holidays. I might even start having manicures and pedicures.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I"m sticking with my original list too. Want it to be over, almost like to last factor to make the cruise happen.

Oh me too.....it's the only thing I have left to do except to show up at the airport on time. So I want to get it over with already and then do the online paperwork to check in and then I don't have anything else to do....just figure out the weight thing so I know what clothes I'm packing.

Then I can work on my fish gifting and then there's nothing else. Just go already!

 

[granmaz]

I think it must be going on 5 weeks since Noel ended her cruise. I'm really hoping it isn't something serious, but it is very strange not to hear from her.

 

[HollyTyler]

My boss is back in the office a day earlier than expected.

So my DIS-ing activities are going to be severely curtailed compared to the last few days. I'm back to having to click in and out of the screen whenever I hear footsteps!

That's what I do! LOL!!!!

Speaking of the men's surgery - When my dd was in kindergarden we had a puppy that we had neutered. We told dd that we didn't want any puppies. A few weeks later my dh had the surgery. My dd asked why her dd couldn't walk and he told her the truth that we were not going to have anymore children. My dd went to school and told everyone that her dad had been neutered. He was so embrassed.

Do it Marilyn, there's no time like the present and we have certainly earned it! Let them eat cake! Let them talk if they want to.....they're going to feel just like you do when they get to be mature too. No room for guilt. That was years ago.....we have moved on!

 

[ibouncetoo]

I thought they were coming out with new gifts and pins. Is the stateroom gift for CC members the same? I haven't checked recent trip reports...

Yes, they are different this year (mostly it's the bag that is different...contents similar). If I run across the thread with pictures, I'll post a link here.

Prayers for your friend.

Oh I forgot ask that I was looking through the Cabo and I like the hoel called Nikki Beach Club?

My husband disagree with it and he think it is too expensive for the day for our family.

He think better not booking anything until we arrive Cabo and maybe go to beach?

Anyway can give me advise about Cabo - what the best thing to do.

Deborah, I looked at this and decided the Cabo Resort Pool Getawy was better (because of the pool). The Nikki beach didn't get as good reviews in cruisecritic as the Finisterra Resort did.

I'm suppose to fly to Melbourne tomorrow but I'm thinking of canceling. My best friend lives there. Her dh died a couple of years ago and everything seemed to be going as it should until about 6 months ago. I just don't understand her decisions lately. I know I have to stay with it until she comes to her senses again but I've had this trip planned and checked to make sure that she had no other plans. Her friend and husband have moved in with her and her brother decided to come visit(been there a month). She lives in a 2 bdr home. no fold out couch. Last night she informs me that some friends invited her to come to the Keys this week-end(she was there last week-end) and she said yes. So when she gets off work at 5:30 tomorrow she wants us all to cram in a small car and drive the 5+ hours to thier house. We have to be back Sunday. So I will be spending the week-end with 5 people I have never met. My friend and I are the only ones that don't smoke and I am allergic to smoke. I'm just thinking of the ride to the Keys that I don't want to do anyway. I feel the flu coming on! Ok I've b...... enough.

FLU !

I want this on a t-shirt!

Calmom, what a delima! Sounds like you've made the right choice though. However, if you change your mind today....I totally understand

Time to throw a load in the wash and myself in the shower.

later kids......

 

[HollyTyler]

Have a good day Holly. Hope the journey isn't too bad for you - maybe you will be allowed to finish early.

Thanks Marilyn. The roads have all been cleared, so no problems at all. And we didn't get any more snow overnight like they had predicted. Our office closed at 3:30 yesterday instead of 5 because of the weather and it took some co-workers 2 hours to get home!!! That won't happen today though because no more snow is coming.

Oh no - poor DH(well not really )

This thread is just so funny today.

OK, the bad news is.....I gained back 7 lbs and holding since quitting smoking. The good news is that I don't need new clothes and can use my already packed suitcase. The bad news is I can't wear my two new dresses and have to wear my old ones again. The good news is I still have more time to see if it stays the same or changes. I'm still on the diet so who knows if I'll start losing again or not. Can you tell that this weight thing has got me very confused.

I can't believe how easily the weight came off before quitting smoking and how I gained and am staying there since quitting. Smoking really does change your metabolism.

It will happen Deb!

I think it must be going on 5 weeks since Noel ended her cruise. I'm really hoping it isn't something serious, but it is very strange not to hear from her.

I really hope so too. It's not like her to just abandon us, especially with our booking ressies coming up. I really hope she if fine and I really do miss her. Some of us have tried to contact her and without getting any response, it's not like Noel to do that. She always replies to everyone who directs something to her. I sure hope she is ok and I am really starting to worry now.
