Either will go nicely with lime green. And at least you'll be recognizable.....no name tag needed.

No she will be wearing prison tags.....

According to my TA yesterday, they finished the packages on Tuesday night and hope to get them out today or tomorrow.

And if you are new to cruising, I think DCL sends them to your TA - and then it depends if your TA sends them our promptly - We used a TA once (never again) and they let the DCL docs sit in their office for what seems like eons.....everyone on the web had them and we could not understand why we in Fl did not....HAH - it was TA.

Priceline, 3 Star, Disneyland Area....bid $45





OMG...that's FUNNY!

Which reminds me, I'd better make a final decision and order a t-shirt tonight!!

.

I ordered mine and I am very, very pleased with the shirts. They came in about 3 days I htink, and it was standard shipping. The quality is very good....as is the screen print. I liked the colors but went with white as the screen of the Mickey canal showed up better, I think.

And if you are ordering a snug ladies T - the site warns you they are tight. Guess what, the site is correct, they are very, very snuggly fit. I ordered a size up as recommended and I am glad I did. But the shirt is great.

Thanks so much for organizing the shirts......DH does not know, I will surprise him with the shirt 3 weeks from tonight.////

Thanks! I'm heading to bed and hopefully this mess will be over in the morning!

OK - it is morning - are you there -- or were you arrested....

Gosh, what a mess.....

Hi everyone . . .

Another night just getting home from the hospital. It was a very long day of ups and downs. Both Amy and I are absolutely exhausted and drained.

We started out with Manuel taking a serious turn for the worse. It did not look like my brother in the hospital bed when I saw him this morning at 6:50, and after calling all the family, and running to the office for just a few things, I went back to the hospital. We had a long conversation with the doctor in charge, and because of how bad his condition had become, we agreed to a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). He kept going downhill, and the doctor told us that if he were not only 42, they would have advised the family to give up by now. He also quoted a Latin phrase to us, where there is breath there is hope, and it was in God's hands now. His blood pressure had almost bottomed, his heart rate was up, and he was once again running a fever, and bleeding.

The nurse and the doctor kept pumping fluids and blood into him, and hoping for the best. The surgeon came and cleaned the wound again and tried to find the source of bleeding.

We had resigned ourselves to losing him, and decided that it was time for his most beloved students to have the opportunity to see him and have some closure if they wanted to. Thus began a long parade of wonderful kids telling him how much they loved him and needed him. Black, white, middle class and poor, they came to give him their love.

Over these days I have heard many stories that have both surprised and comforted me. How he gave two women $100 to buy a young man suitable dress clothes for the state speech tournament. How he gave each kid at state $50 out of his own pocket to spend at the state speech tournament. How he paid for one of his poorer students Prom dresses so she could have a nice dress for the prom. And how he brought a young, shy, and friendless African American boy out of his shell to become a State Speech qualifier.

I told them all how much he loved them, and how my mom always taught us that children came first. Since he had no natural children of his own, they were his children.

Each one of them came and cried and tried to comfort him at his bedside. By afternoon, he miraculously started to turn around and his numbers all got better. When I left tonight, his blood pressure, although aided by medication, was where it should be, and while he still had a fever, his chances had improved. So I left him with hope.

I truly believe the prayers and love of those children have let him live another day. I am overwhelmed and awed by what transpired, and have greater faith in the power of human hope and love with God's grace.

Good night everyone, felt I owed you an update, one that helps me cope too.

Continued prayers for a remarkable man.

And here it is against the law for us to pump our own gas. I like not having to get out in the rain and snow, step in gum, spill gas on my shoe, and have the police call saying I did not pay.

In Oregon? Really?

Not sure I have seen a full serve station in FL for years?????

You know - that might not be cruise docs, it might have been the shore excursion booklet we were all taking about - about 5 weeks ago.....

Hi Susie
A bit behind in my catchup but it means solid verandah!
See you soon
Leanne

What is the difference between a solid verhandah and a navigators verandah?????

So a solid verhandah has a "porch" but you cannot see the ocean????

Hey, it is morning, I need coffee..

Hi

Uk People - let you know about exchange money is not good news now.

I am going to M&S to exchange the money for dollars today. My workmates told me to do it now as the exchange money go right down soon. Last night lots of people panic about Euros went right down to 1.09

Dollars now 1.98 so I got Keith's birthday money and I will exchange it today also Ian's money as they need it for Disneyland.

Terrible about Euros.

Scottishwee35

So if Euo's go down - is that good for UK or good for USA - I cannot keep up with the exchange rates....

Too many toffees in Quality Street. Same price for Roses and they're all chocolate, so much better value.

Sukie swears by Quality Street. I'm a Roses sort of guy though, I always preferred Roses to Quality Street.

There was a 5.4 earthquake in southern Illinois last night. Apparently there were tremors in Chicago. We slept through it.

We live next the the El, so a bit of shaking might have just been a train going by.

What a week, we started with a wild cougar shot 12 blocks away from my house and we ended with an earthquake.

I am so glad that this week is finally coming to an end. I can't believe that it is Friday. This week feels like it has been a week of 10 days instead of just 5.

I know who it is and am very excited!!!! I haven't even told DH yet guess he will find out at dinner huh?

Is is Bobby Banana?! I've been wondering what happened to him!

Don't worry, it's still early to receive them. Although it does vary, most people usually receive them about 2 weeks before the cruise.

 

[HollyTyler]

Oh... OK... dinner was good and greasy by the way...

Drum roll please....

Last seen on the Konked Kruisers Oct '08 Western cruise...

Mr. Sheldon J. Plankton has arrived!!!!

OLE!!!!! ​

He has settled in very well to his first class accomodations, has ordered room service and wants to know why there isn't a castle outside of his window...YET!!!

He's already begun his hijinks... and it will be put into another Planky TR... (I'll post some pictures and the link to his last TR...)

So... lets see what kind of fun we can have with him!!!

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? A giant fuzzy booger?!

Just curious are those orange jumpsuits they give to prisoners....Gator orange

If you don't hear from me tomorrow then check with the Canton Police dept. Who's going to post bail for me so I can go on this cruise?

I am so sorry you had to go thru this. I'm sure all of us will chip in. Since we live the closest we will bail you out if you need us.

Did people actually get shore excursion booklets? I never got one.

Heard about this on the news first thing this morning. It was even felt by some people in our area. Not by me though.
