Good morning all! No time to catch up, but I just wanted to share a link. It's the same information many of you have seen before, but I'm so thrilled to see my name on it now! LOL!!!! Just sharing my excitement! This is a new thing for me, so I know it's no big deal for many people, don't mind my enthusiasm!

I think there won't be any more Marilyn's which is not a bad thing. I was named before Marilyn Monroe but that sure has caused us Marilyn's some trouble.

Do you have any Gertrudes or Gerties over there?

. . . Yesterday we had gorgeous day - first one in ages. The sun seemed to shine a little bit brighter with an extra bulb on.

It was so nice we walked to the beach to have dinner and watch the sunset.

oh are they serving drinks at the GENIUS BAR?

Will it be peanuts, or cashews?

john2 is now officially posting as gatorjohn.....
john1 - are you ready for some March Madness?

NO- my Buckeyes are young, and not doing too hot right now. I WILL be watching though.

John - you use a snow thrower? We must be a hardy bunch here in Chicago! I was out at 5:00 AM today with my shovel and a bucket salt.

Then after I finished shovelling the snow, I milked the cows, slopped the hogs (or is that slapped the hogs), helped the neighbors with a barn raising, and then walked 10 miles to school, where I had to chop 75 cords of wood to stoke the stoves to get up a good head of steam to power the wood burning laptops!

Well ... maybe I just shoveled the snow, and I did use only a shovel and then salted the side walk.

Admittedly, I only do the front sidewalk, and that's only about 25 feet. But, was out there at 5:00 AM and it was all handcrafted Chicago shoveling!

Well, if I were using a shovel, I might still be out there. Did you see the picture I posted awhile ago??? Imagine doing this driveway, pad, and sidewalk with a shovel.

lost our second game 5-2, I was 3-4 tonight, but am pissed the guy in front of me made an out every time

Welcome to the collective Gatorjohn!

I did not say they were attractive the name is better. Clearly the apple employees work in the mall, they hang with the beautiful people like the Abercrombies of the world. We wholeheartly admit Apple is sexy pc is not. I speak for the world you know...

cast.....reelllllllllling you in all the way. did ya know I like to fish????

The fish aren't biting today. They're just swimming back and forth, back and forth, back and forth . . .

It worked! So cute!

Funny how some names are just 'old'. However some come back into fashion but some never do, fortunately!!!

You guys may laugh but I wanted to name my oldest daughter "Hepsibah". It is a very very very old fashioned biblical name. My husband said no, so I settled on naming my bottle calf that name!

Eastbound troublemaker here (or that's what y'all call us? )

Have they given you any info on dining times, is it all one (e.g. 6 pm and 8 pm) or staggared (5:45, 6, 6:15 and 7:45, 8, 8:15?)

boarded again....what are we getting in exchange for our information 'eh? (for you Ian, and PJ and Ken) Shouldn't this be a trading kinda thing????

Staggared.

 

[luv2cruzsus]

What are your plans today Marilyn? Anyone else have anything exciting going on?

Just working today. It is so weird . . . I woke up at about 3:45 am and couldn't go back to sleep. I find that all I do is think about three things:

1. The fact that I have one of my managers out ill and I'm figuring out how to do his job in addition to mine - always fun.

2. Hearing the music from Chicago in my head because I watched it the other night.

3. GOING ON THIS CRUISE!!!! It seems like that thought is in my head pretty much all my waking hours!!

 

[nskjerven]

we are

 

[nskjerven]

I'm going to school to have lunch with Brent. Not sure about the rest of the day. Should clean house but it can wait.

how is the news settling in with Bill?

 

[Making_Memories]

Marr what time is your flight? Are you going on Monday night too? We are out of SNA.

Yup going Monday night. Just doing Sunday and Monday in the parks so Jacinda can be back to school on Tuesday. I finally decided on a LAX flight at 9:20 pm. Gives me the most time and is cheapest for that day too.

Regarding passports:

V, I'm with you - haven't got them yet. Mine is lost, DH has his, but kids don't have them. We are going this week to get them. They are saying there are no delays at this time, 4-6 weeks. I might still pay to expediate them HOWEVER

You do not need them to go on this cruise. You would need them if there was an emergency and you had to fly home immediately. If you didn't have them, and you needed to fly home, you would have to go to the U.S. embassy at whatever stop we were and apply for an emergency one. I think that takes 24-48 hours and I have no idea how much it costs. Probably a lot.

You did need them on the Europe cruises as that was Europe. If you look at the passport threads, there is a lot of chatter on this. I agree it is important to have for an emergency, although we took the 7 day cruise in Jan 07 without them. The date the change became effective was during that cruise, so basically we only had 3 days (1 at sea) that we were "rolling the dice." 15 days to roll the dice seems too much, although I certainly considered during the embassy route (not getting them and just planning on paying the big bucks if need be). I really can't think of too many situations, other than sudden and unexpected death of a loved one, that the whole family would need to fly home. Initially, I was going to for sure get them when my Grandmother was alive. Then when she passed, I did consider not getting them. However, DH and I decided we will get them - mostly because we are planning a Europe trip in '11 for my parents 50th and figure we might as well use them for both.

Don't mean to start a debate. I reconginze the cost of the passports is nothing when compared to your peace of mind in case of emergency. Just wanted to clarify that you don't need them to board.

Hey I am glad you typed all that out! I was thinking it but you saved me all the typing. So I will just say DITTO.
