May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 11

[Tracyvp]

Someone posted about the deck parties. I thought I read that there were 5 planned.

Tropcial, Mexican, Pirate, Panama. What's the 5th one?

Doesn't Sailaway count?

 

[GatorFamily]

B, lots of people really like Deck 2 (great location for the restaurants and deck 3 and 4 activities and getting off the ship on port days). And your porthold window is pretty big. (It's deck one that has the two small portholes)



The deck 2 laundry is across from stateroom 2096.

Thanks Jackie I take it you made it to work since you are not posting. I think I may end up liking it....my first thoughts were since its so at the bottom will I be watching fish swim by through that big window you know I'm scared of the water and the titanic movie doesn't help either with the people on the bottom getting trapped down there I looked at the map and it is an easy flight up from dining and the lobby Jackie you are so knowlegable on the ship...hoping this time I'll actually get to see most of it or all of it

Well, this is the moment I'm SUPPOSED to be at work....still in my jammies...time to call in tardy!

.

Hope you made it...I wish I was still in my pjs

V's coming home with a little souvenier!

We prepaid tips on the Magic in 1/2007. It wasn't part of our OBC. On the night before tips are paid, we got the tickets in our stateroom. They were handled totally separate from the OBC.

mine didn't show up either...I added a small amount from a gift card and it doesn't show on my account either ...I'm assuming its there

that's cause all the candles kept it HOT

I added a room number

looks great

Finally got our flights today! We did them through DCL so I was a little worried about the flight, layovers, not sitting together, sitting in the back of the plane, etc. But boy was I wrong! We got a flight out of LAX at 9:35 am, it is a non-stop flight and we are together in row 16! Couldn't have done it better myself! I'm so happy!

that's awesome...now you are all set

Cork,

You've just been tagged.....

made me look for a minute I don't think she's visited our thread yet

 

[HollyTyler]

I've been on here for years and years and still no tag fairy for me. It's like you have to be in the right place at the right time to get a visit from her.

She was all over the threads for the most recent WAPASADI event. Some people got multiple tags during that event and she changed colors of peoples' personal info which usually stays in black. Crazy fun!

 

[Mom323]

so I called DCL and asked about the celebs....
this is what I got.
6 speciality shows, along with Welcome Aboard, Golden Mickey's, When Mickey Dreams, Art of the Story, Twice Charmed, Dreams, Farewell Variety. Deck parties on Aruba, Aca and Cabo days with 2 additional afternoon deck parties but no word on who's onboard.

I found the post!!!!

 

[pjpoohbear]

We're just a few doors down in 7014.

Hello neighbour.

 

[tigger137]

I know there is a trick with a pattern in the carpet on the ship, but I don't remember what it was.

It's something to do with the colour on each half of the anchor on the carpet. But I could never fathom it out.

 

[tigger137]

Nooooooooo, too funny.

Marilyn, are you a TOG?

 

[HollyTyler]

Marilyn, are you still here? Are you the one who mentioned Migralieve or Migralief? If so, I want to get the name right when I ask my Dr. today for something to help. I have an appt. this afternoon, which I was surprised to get on short notice. No, I don't have a migraine currently, but can't keep having ones that last 3 days, so I hope whoever I see today agrees to give me something because the last Dr. told me to just keep trying Excedrin.

Here is the deep answer from an old salt

The blue anchors on the floor lead you forward and the red lead you aft. And red and aft both have 3 letters to help you remember!

I believe Migrelief is over the counter.

The subject is too deep for me.

 

[hawkaye19]

The subject is too deep for me.

Come alongside, grab a couple of hundred feet of shoreline, watch out for the golden rivet and let me spin you a yarn about the time.........

 

[HollyTyler]

I believe Migrelief is over the counter.

Oh, OK...thanks. I'd never heard of it, so I assumed it was prescription. I've not yet found anything over the couter that works, but will definitely give it a try, and then if that doesn't work will fall back on whatever the Dr. gives me (if anything). Thanks!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Thanks...I thought there was a map of all our Dis rooms, you know - in green????? I must be imagining things.....

That will show up in the mini navs, from Linda.

What or Who is the Tag Fairy?

The Tag Fairy is a mythical being. She or he finds cute, funny or embarrassing things you have said in your posts. She then clips, pastes and adds color to them. She then stickies the cute little dittie to the spot under your Disname, where it says Mouseketter or Dis Veteran.

You never know when she will spread her Tag Fairy Dust.

I don't believe in the Tag Fairy. She's an urban myth.

 

[taysmom]

I might need that cause Steph thinks she is a pro

I AM A PRO...with cleaveage!

Last cruise DH lost our room key, and I lost my map. First time we lost anything. Definetly a sign we are getting old, not, we were going thur Hurricane Olga and it was rough, rough, rough.

Our our last and first disney cruise...my dd lost her KTTW daily. It was ridiculous but they were so accomodating....

 

[pjpoohbear]

I don't believe in the Tag Fairy. She's an urban myth.

I believe in her, last time I talked about wanting a tag, she took my signature stuff away. I don't like her, I don't want to meet her and I don't want anything from her ever.

Wow, you are tempting the fates, I've heard that people that didn't bevieve have disappeared.

Migraleve, manufactured by Pfizer.
At least that's what it's called over here.

Just found this on netdoctor.co.uk which might help:

How does it work?

Migraleve pink tablets contain three active ingredients: paracetamol, codeine phosphate and buclizine hydrochloride.

Paracetamol is a simple painkilling medicine used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Despite its widespread use for over 100 years, we still don't fully understand how paracetamol works to relieve pain. However, it is now thought that it works by reducing the production of prostaglandins in the brain and spinal cord.

The body produces prostaglandins in response to injury and certain diseases. One of the effects of prostaglandins is to sensitise nerve endings, causing pain (presumably to prevent us from causing further harm to the area). As paracetamol reduces the production of these nerve sensitising prostaglandins it is thought it may increase our pain threshold, so that although the cause of the pain remains, we can feel it less.

Paracetamol is about as effective as aspirin at relieving mild to moderate pain, but unlike aspirin it has no anti-inflammatory effect.

Codeine is a slightly stronger painkiller known as an opioid. Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors.

Codeine mimicks the action of natural endorphins by combining with the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This blocks the transmission of pain signals sent by the nerves to the brain. Therefore, even though the cause of the pain may remain, less pain is actually felt.

Migraleve pink tablets contain 8mg of codeine, which in combination with the paracetamol, is effective at relieving the pain of migraine headaches.

Buclizine hydrochloride is a type of medicine called an antihistamine. It is used to treat the sensation of nausea that can occur in a migraine attack and thus prevent vomiting.

Vomiting is controlled by an area of the brain called the vomiting centre. The vomiting centre is responsible for causing feelings of sickness (nausea) and for the vomiting reflex. Buclizine works by blocking histamine receptors in the vomiting centre, which prevents the vomiting centre from receiving nerve messages that would otherwise cause nausea and vomiting.

If taken at the first sign of a migraine, Migraleve pink tablets can prevent the migraine developing fully. If the migraine continues, further treatment should be with Migraleve yellow tablets to help relieve the migraine headache. You should not start taking Migraleve yellow until four hours after your dose of Migraleve pink.

What is it used for?

Relieving nausea and headache associated with a migraine attack.

Warning!

This medicine may cause drowsiness. If affected do not drive or operate machinary. Avoid alcohol.

Do not take this medicine with any other products that contain paracetamol. Many over-the-counter painkillers and cold and flu remedies contain paracetamol. It is important to check the ingredients of any medicines you buy without a prescription before taking them in combination with this medicine. Seek further advice from your pharmacist.

An overdose of paracetamol is dangerous and capable of causing serious damage to the liver and kidneys. You should never exceed the dose stated in the information leaflet supplied with this medicine. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose with this medicine, even if you feel well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.

Alcohol increases the risk of liver damage that can occur if an overdose of paracetamol is taken. The hazards of paracetamol overdose are greater in persistant heavy drinkers and in people with alcoholic liver disease.

If this medicine is taken regularly for long periods of time, the body can become tolerant to it and it may become less effective at relieving pain. With prolonged use, the body may also become dependent on the codeine. As a result, when you then stop taking the medicine you may get withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness and irritability. Do not take this medicine for longer than three days without consulting your doctor. If symptoms persist consult your doctor.

If you find you need to use this medicine all the time you should consult your doctor for advice. Taking a painkiller for headaches too often or for too long can make them worse.

Use with caution in

Decreased kidney function
Decreased liver function

Not to be used in

Children under the age of ten years, unless on the advice of a doctor.

This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.

If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.

Paracetamol is not known to be harmful when used during pregnancy. However, the safety of codeine has not been established. If codeine is used in the third trimester it may cause withdrawal symptoms in the baby after birth. The safety of buclizine during pregnancy has not been fully established. As a result, this medicine should be used with caution during pregnancy, and only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs any potential risk to the infant. Seek medical advice from your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant.

Small amounts of paracetamol and codeine may pass into breast milk. It is not known if buclizine passes into breast milk. However, there are no known harmful effects when this medicine is used by breastfeeding mothers.

Label warnings

This medicine may cause drowsiness. If affected do not drive or operate machinary. Avoid alcohol.

Do not take this medication with any other products containing paracetamol.

Do not exceed the recommended dose of this medicine, which will be stated in the information leaflet supplied with the medicine.

Side effects

Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.

Constipation
Drowsiness
Skin rash

The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the drug's manufacturer.

For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How can this medicine affect other medicines?

It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you take this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while taking this one, to ensure that the combination is safe.

You should not take other medicines that contain paracetamol in combination with this medicine, as this can easily result in exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose of paracetamol. Many cold and flu remedies and over-the-counter painkillers contain paracetamol, so be sure to check the ingredients of any other medicines before taking them with this one. You can take Migraleve yellow four hours after taking Migraleve pink if you still have a migraine, but be sure not to exceed the dose recommended in the information leaflet.

This medicine should be used with caution in people taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), for example the antidepressants phenelzine, tranylcypromine or isocarboxacid. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are taking one of these medicines.

There may be an increased risk of drowsiness and sedation if this medicine is taken with any of the following (which can also cause drowsiness):

alcohol
antipsychotics, eg haloperidol
barbiturates, eg phenobarbital, amobarbital
benzodiazepines, eg diazepam, temazepam
other opioids, eg morphine, dihydrocodeine
sedating antihistamines, eg chlorphenamine, hydroxyzine
sleeping tablets, eg zopiclone
tricyclic antidepressants, eg amitriptyline.

Cholestyramine reduces the absorption of paracetamol from the gut. It should not be taken within an hour of taking paracetamol or the effect of the paracetamol will be reduced.

Metoclopramide and domperidone may increase the absorption of paracetamol from the gut.

Long-term or regular use of paracetamol may increase the anti-blood-clotting effect of warfarin and other anticoagulant medicines, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. This effect does not occur with occasional pain-killing doses. If you are taking an anticoagulant medicine and you are also taking co-codamol regularly, your blood clotting time (INR) should be regularly monitored.

Other medicines containing the same active ingredients

Migraleve complete contains a combination of Migraleve pink and Migraleve yellow tablets.

I've never used the yellow tablets but both DH and I use the pink ones. If you feel a migraine coming on (for me the warning sign is a distinctive blurred vision) and take the pink tablets in time, they stop it.

Over here it isn't a prescription drug but what is called a POM, which means you have to buy it from a pharmacist - it can't be sold on supermarket shelves.
