Morning All.....I am sure I will not be able to catch up ---

Did everyone see the eclipse last night? We had a beautiful night - saw the orange glow, as well as all the neighbors and kids staring at the night sky....

It seems we have had a batch of really bad news with family and friends. Prayers and pixie dust for those who need it - And a little guardian angel to watch over them.

Hi

I hope you take the photo of it?

I am sorry to hear that bad news and give my to you

I went to see the nurse for tetenus this morning but she told me that I already had it by March 03!! I cannot remember it oh dear maybe too many stress!! I think I went to Australia in 03, I must had it before went away.

Oh well no injection today phew!!

I asked for Hep A etc for Mexico and nurse checked it up and told me that we don't need it cos only one day each unless if visit the jungle or stay overnight. She gave me the paperwork to read it for the Cruise.

Oh well another no injection for us.

I hope we are safe while we are in tours?

Oh My GOSH!! Holly, this is so funny. When I was having all my purse drama, my eldest came in and said, Mommy I know what you need to get...you need the Buxton Bag I saw on TV! We were going to buy it for you for Christmas but Daddy said you already picked out your purse!! I saw the ad - it looks really neat!
Lisa

A friend has one and she says it is really good for your back....Me, I carry a backpack.....and no comments from the guys - "Please honey, hold this, and this and this. " "Can you put this in your purse". I started carrying a slim wallent on a string after that - HAH... back to the backpack.

The good news, with a backpack, he will carry it for me.....

We have Hep A because we dive - different environment - but when I checked for the last trip, I received the same information. Plus I was told Hep A can be given "after the fact" if needed.

As for tetenus - it is good to keep up with it where we live - that is the first shot you get in the ER if you have any bad scrap or scratch.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

WOW am I really caught up.

Time for morning chores...

 

[tigger137]

I read one... I think it was called Mr. Darcy takes a Wife... all I can say is Mr. Darcy finally gets some in this book!!!

I've tracked down the one I read - 'Pemberley' by Emma Tennant (1993).

From a quick Google search, it looks like there have been several sequels written.

Had a very nice reply to my email I sent to Tom McAlpin about fish night,

Dear Marilyn:

Thank you for your e-mail to Tom McAlpin. I regret that we have no
record of your previous message. Although Tom is very concerned about
our guests, he has asked me to respond on his behalf, and I welcome the
opportunity to do so.

sincere apology for any challenges you encountered with the planning of
your cruise vacation. We sincerely believe we have an obligation to our

comments have been seriously addressed and we are working on solutions
to ensure these challenges can be resolved.

Thank you again for your comments. We value your longtime support for

upcoming voyage aboard the Disney Magic®.

Sincerely,

Joseph Paris
Executive Correspondent
Disney Cruise Line

Makes me feel a bit better. Just hope they are working on a solution for the sake of other cruisers in the future.

I think that might be the chap who kept e-mailing me and then eventually phoned me last year about the tax issue.

Having personally had considerable experience of giving out the 'official line' to people, I'd love to know what he really thinks!

I'm rather upset today. I don't usually bare my soul but ...

Got a huge shock this morning at work.

Someone I work with was found dead in her condo last night. I worked with her at another company. She was a really nice and smart lady. She didn't show up at work yesterday after the long weekend. They phoned and there was no answer. Work called the police who broke into the condo. She died sometime over the weekend. About 1/3 of my company all came from this other company and we all knew each other. I was just pissed off and angry all day.

It was just one of those days.

 

[tigger137]

BTW - Mary - I left my cell phone in Maryland, so I will pm you my home nbr soon. Can't believe you'll be here in a few days!

Neither can I! Getting excited now. Last day at work today.

Hi guys:

Popping in late tonight asking for some prayers and

My MIL has fallen off the wagon and we've found out that my FIL has been enabling her buy buying and bringing her booze.

We checked her in the hospital for detox tonight and will most likely get her in the morning and have her stay with us thru the weekend while we look to get her out of town to a rehab clinic.

She has done quite a few programs around here and not had sucess, but always comes home to the same issues with her husband, FIL.

She is at a very low point and during the past New Years holidays she had 2 attempts at suicide. This was not the first time for this all became very clear to us when this all came to light.

Hopefully we have gotten between MIL & FIL this time to get her to a place that she can recover and make better choices. I'm just at a loss. I just spent the last hour online looking and not knowing what and where to turn.

It's hard being the outside DIL the boys (Paul and his brother) aren't assertive with there father and clearly he is not making the situtation better for MIL.

Wish us luck and strenght in dealing with this over the next few days and weeks.

I'll be here as I can, as I know the support you guys offer is so sorely needed to get me thru.

Lisa

That's too funny! Well, it's very ugly, but such a neat idea, so I'll probably end up getting it and will use it for vacations ONLY.

OK, here's the rest of the story...

My cousin lives in No. Calif. (near Mendocino). Obviously she wouldn't be able to come to my House Party, but I invited her, and also her daughter (who also lives in No CA), so they would be able to enter the guest sweepstakes.

She, her daughter and granddaughter came on the last cruise I went on (June '06 Western). It was my 3rd cruise, their first. Of course we had a wonderful time and wanted to go again someday.

If you go to my party page
http://www.houseparty.com/party/43929
and look at my pictures, you'll see one of all of us on CC with Mickey.

So she calls me today; I see her name on the caller ID and answer. The first thing she says is "Guess what???" At first I drew a complete blank, then it just hit me! I said, "You won the sweepstakes!" and she says, "YES!!!"

The most interesting thing about all of this is that when I was trying to decide who to invite, I'd considered asking her, her daughter and granddaughter. I went back and forth and ultimately decided to ask my sister and two friends from here. I felt a little guilty for not asking them. Well, I guess there was a reason I didn't ask her...

So she's going to go on the same cruise I am, which is Dec. 7. I don't think I posted what I finally decided to do. I chose Dec. so I could see the ship and CC decorated for Xmas. I have no idea what the weather will be like; hopefully OK.

Today we talked about going to FL early and doing WDW since neither of us have been, so I hope that works out.

UNBELIEVABLE! I can't believe our good fortune! I'm just giddy!

Wow! That's SO cool how that turned out.....what a GREAT story!

Nan, I'm sorry you and your family are going through this. It must be so difficult. We're all here for you whenever you need us.

 

[HollyTyler]

Have a great day everybody! Off to work now. Should be a busy day today.

 

[umber]

Have any GTYs receive cabin assignments yet? I just tried logging on and keep getting a message that their system is down (I think I liked the fish better).

So who is dressing up on pirate night? We never have in the past but this week I ordered the entire family pirate costumes. And my husband WILL be wearing it!!!! Although I did see a t-shirt I almost got him that said "My pirate clothes are in the wash".

I will go and get a tetanus I think. Thanks for the info about the injections.

Me too really, but at least it was A reply!!!

We will sort of be dressing up - very low key though. Love that t shirt - I think John would wear that!

Cell/text does bug me... but what drives me nuts is the sick/coughing person is coughing through the entire movie. I have a very low immune system and catch every little illness that people go out in public with, so no matter where I sit the sick cougher always finds me! I always try to move, but that means moving several of us. UGH. It's like I have a beacon over my head that says if you're sick come sit behind me!!!!

Saw a sign the other day:

COFFEE: The one who is coughed upon by the cougher.

YAH! Dominic! Cool cake!
