I knew it would never last, I reigned, I was dethroned. Alas I have lost my voice, on the DIS and in real life....:scared1:

I was only at the top for the short while when Holly and Tyler were sick, it really wasn't a fair test at that time....oh welll.....don't cry for my DIS, I never left you, I kept my promise, keep your distance....(did I sound like Madonna there???):lmao: :lmao:
:rotfl: :rotfl: And....oh my gosh, I LOVED that movie!
 
I figured there would be comments. ;) But, it is interesting to read biographies and see common themes in lasting relationships. It really wasn't intented as any kind of political statement. I have read other president's bios too. I do like real stuff over fiction usually.

I know, I know . . . Amy has Laura's Bio too . . . I was just being funny . . .
 
holly, I'm not sure but do baby monitors work on the ship? if so ou could put one in the cabin and hang out on the secret deck, close enough to get to him quickly if anything happened, but not stuck in the room. not sure if they work, but it's an option.:confused3
Hmm....would probably work just fine, but I really only will pop out there for about 10 min at a time. And he's such a sound sleeper, he wouldn't wake up for an hour, guaranteed. And who knows? I just might want a nap too. :goodvibes

I'm just SO HAPPY TO BE ON THE SHIP, this is worrying me less and less. :goodvibes
 
Happy Birthday Gydell!:dance3:

.
I'm glad she had a great time that's what matters:thumbsup2 You are very lucky it was small we've been to large parties that were crowded and could get out of hand with older boys in the group...my DS had his birthday party there last year and we invited the class (usually 1/2 come) so little over half came I really didn't let him invite any of his friends outside of class to keep it small... there were about 14 (even though they allow 26:eek: )and it was fun and calm they all had a blast including parents that were there....that is the way to go. DS birthday was yesterday so we had a small party(usually when its a small party everyone comes) so 8 boys (from his class) plus my DD it was so cute it was a starofmyparty.com party where they film a mini movie at your house and he chose "super spy" the boys had a blast since they came right after school(it was a half day) and I drove 2 of his buddies home with us. They also celebrated his birthday in class too so needless to say he had a blast yesterday. We will be doing small bday parties from now on(last class party will be for DD in Kinder next year but thats it!). Was Sophia's birthday today? Maybe our kids have the same birthday? You were actually blessed with the turnout and probably made for a much funner party:goodvibes

Totally agree:thumbsup2

Yes it was fun, and not too chaotic. The boys were well behaved for the most part. Sophia actually turns eight tomorrow - the 17th.
 

anyone have exp with Dodge? I am looking, well prpbably going to get a Nitro tomorrow, unless John convinces me of the Charger tonight...I am a Ford gal....owned all Fords with one Mitsubishi in there......thoughts?

I'm a Ford guy V . . . dad retired from there - that's not what this comment is about though . . .

One thing about the new Dodge vehicles. They look cool, but the visibility in driving them with those slim windows is bad. Not real safe. Consumer reports says the same thing.
 
Not sure if anyone here needs this information, but I put it together for myself and thought I might as well post it.

Caution: It is long!

http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/international-roaming.jsp

Remember to check your phone's GSM frequency capability to ensure that it will work when you want it to work. GSM bands needed are listed below.
Rates are in USD per minute and DO NOT include taxes and fees. TO AVOID INCREMENTAL TOLL CHARGES WHILE ON A CRUISE SHIP, PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL ROAMING FEATURE ACTIVATED ON YOUR ACCOUNT.

AT&T has two international plans: World Traveler (WT) $5.99 per month and World Connect (WC) at $3.99 per month. The difference between the two plans is the per minute charge in some countries. Remember to activate the international service before leaving home and disconnect it upon arrival in the States. As far as I can tell there is no activation or disconnect fee. On all the destinations, including the Magic, they give a caution that you may not be able to place calls to international destinations other than the United States while roaming in the country. Calls can be completed within the visited country and back to the US.

Phone Calls placed on the Magic while in international waters (that come up AT&T at Sea or Cingular at Sea on your phone display) will be charged at the rate of $2.49 per min, regardless of international plan used. To send Text: 50 cents or Picture video message: 1.30 per message. According to the site, receiving text, picture or video messages is according to your home pay per use or pkg rates when roaming internationally. It then says to visit www.att.com for details. Data usage: all GPRS pay per use rates are $.0195/KB. GSM bands used: 1900.

Aruba: World Connect: $1.99 per min, World Traveler: $1.69, GSM 900/1900

Panama: World Connect: $2.29, World Traveler: $1.99, GSM : 850

Mexico: World Connect: $0.99, World Traveler: $0.59, GSM: 1900

There is only a $2 difference between the two plans. The breakeven point between the two seems to be using the phone onshore for 5 minutes in Mexico or less than 7 minutes elsewhere in the foreign ports.

Q. Will I be charged long distance in addition to the per-minute roaming rate?
A. No. All calls you make or receive while roaming internationally are charged at the per minute voice roaming rate—with no additional long distance charges. While roaming internationally, calls deposited to your voicemail (when phone is "active" and if busy/no answer) will incur TWICE the per minute charge.

For those interested in Blackberry and laptop roaming information:

I don’t know anything about these things as I don’t even have a cell phone that can take pictures and have never sent a text message! It was confusing whether the package prices listed would be the only charges or if you would have to pay both the cruise ship price and the package price. :confused3

HTH,

I called at&t to ask about data on the blackberry and was told they have a unlimited plan that covers international as well as domestic. It is $64.99 for a month and can be added and removed as necessary. Mind you it is not the full featured internet such as a laptop or a iphone but good enough to keep up on emails. It would still incur the $2.49 a minute for talk time. You get charged for voicemail time too (phone ringing and message left) if you choose to not answer a call. However if your phone is off when the call comes in he said you are NOT charged until you listen to it. Sad thing is I still need and want my laptop!
 
I think I'm with you Lisa . . .

Just back from a trip to my version of H***, Justice the store for girls.

We can laugh at everybody all dressed up in costumes while we are comfortable in our shorts and flip flops.....(I really don't even dress for dinner....I guess I shoudl have told my group this, before they decided to eat with me......)
 
I was wondering if you weren't feeling too good Deb. Hope the throat clears up fast, and keep those legs elevated.:hug:



Wow, another sore throat. How do you yell with a note!!:lmao:



Well lets pray for a good raise and paid holidays then Holly!

I think he only hears me when I yell, or perhaps that's all I do these days, huh?
 
To ALL Verizon cell phone users,

After going to the Verizon store and learning that the local store had no training in international service he gave us a book and a phone number to call Monday thru Friday 8AM tio 7PM. Upon reading the book I found a web site, www.verizonwireless.com/vzglobal. Once I checked things out there I found that they offer Cruse Ship roaming service for DCL. Great all you need is A digital or Tri-mode phone :confused3 , whatever that is, and be willing to pay $2.49 per minute. Text message is a bargain at $ .50 per message sent and $ .05 per message received. (Don't forget your still be doing this at $2.49 / min.):scared1:

They also offer a GlobalAccess Data plan that requires a special broadband card and software, (cost unknowen) and a $129.99/per month fee. For those that can't handle the $129.99 monthly fee they also have a pay per use fee Which in Mexico is $ .005 per KB or $5.12 per MB.:scared1: By the way this card does not look like anything that will connect to a MAC although it does say that the software is compatible with MAC OS 10.4 and higher.

At these rates it looks like the DCL per minute charge for internet access seems like a bargain and will no doubt be the way we will go.:dance3:

Don't have any idea what DCL charges for cell phone hook up but anything less than $2.49 per minute would be a bargain.:sad2: I don't think our cell phones will see any use until we reach LA.:laughing: :laughing:

Doug

YIKES!:scared1:
 
Ouch ! Never borrow a controlled substance from someone else. It is a Federal Crime. Just an FYI. There is a warning in small letters on every prescription label. :thumbsup2 ;) ;) ;) :scared1:
Oops! Didn't realize it was that kind of drug. Sorry! Thanks for the heads up! :thumbsup2
 
so is everyone going to dress up for mexican night?


yup, got Wilson those shirts from that lady on ebay, they came in a few days ago, love 'em.

I told Paul I was getting him one, he said no way. I said yes you are wearing it. You are wearing it to school and on the cruise. He wants to see Mexicans wearing Norweigan clothes on Norway Independence Day. He is nuts. He of course was kidding....
 
Off to see the Spiderwick Movie...I still have 20 pages to read.....back later....
 
I have a Verizon Blackberry Pearl. I don't know what "World" means. Since it is much later, let me know what you found out.

I survived Sophia's party.

11 showed up, and she had a good time.
Glad you survived (that's how I feel about kids' parties too) and very happy Sophia enjoyed her party! :goodvibes Looking forward to seeing pictures (I'm sure you've posted some, I just haven't caught up yet).
 
Just a little tidbit I discovered on my walkabout around town the other day.

I discovered a link between my little Northern BC town and Ohio.

141023.jpg


This is a steam shovel that was built circa 1882 by the Vulcan Ironworks company in Toldeo, Ohio. It was used to help build a trench from a lake to a mine in the surrounding area by the Cariboo (what my region is called) Hydraulic Mining Company. It is now sitting as a permanent display along our "Riverwalk".

Just thought it was interesting to show this connection between locales. I don't know if anyone in here is from Toledo Ohio but I do know there are some people from Ohio on here.

My sister in law lives in Toledo - about 2.5 hours away.
 
picked up a suit at Old Navy for Molly. This is going to be a hard year for suits for her. The right size is a bit to mature in the bust line.... She wants tankinis to hide her tummy, so I think I may be going online soon, as we can't find anything at our usual haunts.

My daughter is not developed up top at all but still is shaped more like a woman then a little girl. She looks a tad too "sexy" in most two piece suits for my or her taste. :sad2: She has for the past two years had nothing but suits from the Limited too. They always have a big selection of tankinis and that is what we get. They suits are still kinda little girlish (some of them) and that is what I like. Here is a link to the tank style ones HERE.

At Ryan's school it's cool for the boys to wear pink...go figure!

Up here in NorCal it is still cool for boys to wear pink too!

When DS31 was about 3 he wanted a bandana to play cowboys and Indiana with the bigger boys in the neighborhood. When we went to Pennys (:love: Pennys) I let him decide which one he wanted. He chose pink. I told him that the other boys might tease him for having pink since most people consider that a girl's color. He said he did not care so we bought it.

On the way out the door a little old lady (:love: little old ladies !!) came up and said she was glad I had let him make his own choice. She said that when she was a little girl pink was a boys' color and blue was a girls' color because "blue was the Virgin Mary's color."
