One of our Dis members on our cruise lost her husband in a senseless murder/robbery Feb 3, 2008

TammyAlaphabet aka Tammy Bahmanziari mother to Chris (16) and Layla (10).

I've been PMing Tammy and after much reluctance on her part, she has agreed for me to post the fund information I found on my own through a google search. First, I'd like to quote a little bit about Tammy's DH - from her words and some others:

Nader was an avid golfer and sports fan, a loving husband, father, son and brother. He was known for his kind heart and great sense of humor. As the service manager for a very popular restaurant, he met many many people from all walks of life and he was friendly and always did the right thing to the best of his ability. He always visited every table and personally greeting every diner at the restaurant. He was remembered and respected by many. All of this impact, and they only moved to their town in June 2006. He was a humble man and never would have believed how much he was loved and how much he is missed. He was taken from this life while working late at his restaurant, supporting his wife and children.

A fund has been established called the Nader Bahmanziari Memorial Fund. The fund will benefit Tammy and her children, Chris & Layla. The address to send donations to is Pinnacle Bank, 1745 Memorial Blvd., Murfreesboro, Tenn., 37129.

As mentioned several times, Tammy was reluctant for me to post this, and wants to stress that she is not asking anyone to donate to this fund. It was with my encouragement she is allowing me to post this.

Hello, you found us then?

[EllaEnchanted]

Gydell, I can ship to my hotel in Cocoa Beach, but then how will I get it all on the boat???? That's a lot of stuff.

 

[granmaz]

How many bottles are there going to be Deb?

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Hello, you found us then?

I found you here
I found you there
I found you just about anywhere
but then....

 

[Ginamarie]

Ugh- I hate how they do this with threads now!

 

[granmaz]

I wopuld still like to view our first thread.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Ugh- I hate how they do this with threads now!

Hey - not really, it makes the boards so much faster...

 

[gydell]

Can you ship it in a suitcase? If we can check more luggage which I think we can then you can check boxes.

 

[seaulater]

Someone asked on the last page of our previous thread about suitcases fitting under bed. We have done two things:

1. If you are NOT using the bunk bed in your stateroom and there is one, ask your stateroom host/hostess to put it down for you for the whole cruise and then you can store all your extra "stuff" up there. It works great for us to give us more room.

2. Luggage under the bed. Our luggage is BIG. What we have found is to go to the bottom of the bed and then DH lifts up the bed and then I shove the suitcases up underneath right in the middle, then the bed sits back down and we've never had a problem with a lump or anything. In fact, after the 2005 PC cruise, right before we disembarked I did one last run through of the stateroom and found an empty suitcase under the bed! I already had everything long gone by then, so I just put my stuff I was carrying off into it.

I saw that post and glad you told us, I don't want to offend. Now that being said he may just not like me How could he not like me and my big mouth and odd sense of humor????


Don't worry, many people don't get that he's joking about such a taboo subject. So, he may get you just fine... or he'll confuse you with me.

Connie, how about putting Disney wrapping paper around the box of wine and stick a bow on it. Then put it on the bottom of Patrick's wheel chair.

Ah, we will try this - the shove it under did not work when we tried.

Although I envy your packing skills if you had an entire suitcase leftover.

Nope, no great packing skills, I just shipped 3 boxes to the ship before the cruise with scrapbook stuff and then brought 2 more suitcases with scrapbook stuff and after the class, it was gone, so I didn't miss the extra suitcases too much! After two weeks, I kinda forgot how many suitcases we had brought on the ship. I do remember though going to the ship and the trunk, the back window, the back half of the seat and the front passenger seat floor and in between the two seats all had luggage. For me, my DH and both my parents, we had luggage every spot we weren't sitting and DH and my dad sat side by side in the back seat with luggage in their lap on the way to the port!
