You just reminded me that I need a prescription for antibiotics...I was so sick on the med..thank goodness for those nice folks from georgia...they were pharmacists and loaded me up with good stuff on board! I can't remember their disname..they were in our group, they were the ones who didn't get their luggage until the end...like florence or rome?!...they had 2 cute girls anyways, they saved my butt!

I wish I could get antibiotics to take with me, just in case. But in the UK it's difficult enough to get them when you are ill. No way will they prescribe them when you're not ill!

On our first cruise I was ill and knew I needed antibiotics. If I'd had some, I could've simply taken them. But instead I had to pay $100 for the onboard doctor to tell me I needed them, plus the cost of the antibiotics he prescribed of course.

A few years ago, we booked the DVC member cruise and didn't tell Patrick. We packed in secret and said we were going out to lunch. We drove and drove and drove. He finally saw the water as we crossed the intercoastal, then he started asking all kinds of questions. Then he saw the WONDER! He said, when do I get to go on a boat ride? We told him today! He was so excited! Also, his birthday is in October, so it was a great gift!

Connie: Was that the 2005 Member Cruise? If so, I think we met you there.

At one of the theater shows we sat down front behind you. A CM let us go with you to exit through the secret door to the left of the stage and we ended up in one of the Adult clubs!

You three are in the front of the Member photo on CC on the left as we all threw our Mickey ears in the air.

How great that you were able to suprise Patrick. (I hate surprises. I like to PLAN, but for people who like surprises, that has got to be one of the best.)

My birthday is August 14th. I'm most DEFINITELY a Leo!
.

Leo here as well

 

[Making_Memories]

Afraid, I'm not your cousin. Would you like to adopt me?


I live in Chicago.



.

I have so few family members that I am open to the option of adopting family from the Dis.

I've just been checking the VS website and discovered that check-in doesn't open until 1330. So we can't get rid of the bags until then. And until we've checked in, we can't have access to the lounge.

Even if we manage to check in online the day before, and manage to print our boarding passes, I don't think we'd be allowed airside with all our luggage. Plus we'll probably need a specific invitation to access the AZ lounge, rather than just our boarding pass.

So then I thought - left luggage.
But there's no facility at LAX any more.

Isn't air travel wonderful?

You are talking air travel but to me saying "the VS website" Means Victorias Secret. I was going to say wow I was checking it last night too!

 

[gydell]

Awesome news!!! I know this will sound silly, but that makes my night!!

Frank is terrible. They say he has Failure to Thrive. He has a fever and his blood pressure is about 70/40. He is throwning up and coming out the other end as well. He has had the hiccups since Monday non-stop. They say he is becoming septic, which I am not to sure I understand. They told me the infection is racing though the blood stream. He is weak and miserable.

Sorry to be so graphic,
Lisa

So sorry!

It wouldn't be so bad but we all have so much more baggage this holiday!!

Bad, bad day here. I really thought 2008 was going to be better but... I got a call from DD this morning that DGD12 was being transported from Salem Kaiser dr office to Dornbecker's Childrens Hospital. She has a very serious case of pneumonia. The Childrens Hospital is attached to the one DD and I work at by a skybridge so an easy walk over when she arrived. Her right lung is completely full and they were talking about putting in a chest tube, but after a second xray thought that might not be necessary. They have her on a couple of IV antibiotics and we are praying for a quick recovery. She is on oxygen, had a reaction to vancomycin and had to be put on benedryl for that. She is quite the trouper. When they were trying to get an IV in at Kaiser to transport they kept sticking her and she finally said "could you just try a different place?" I spent a bit of time with them, then decided I would go back to work for awhile while the docs worked her up and decided what to do. As I was walking back to my office I got a call on my cell from my sis telling me our cousin had commited suicide this morning. This was as huge shock, the last person I would expect this from. His dad (my favorite uncle) has lost 2 wives in the past 5 years and now a child. How much loss can one person endure? He can use lots of prayers. He is 82 years old and plans to fly back to Delaware for services. So far no one has been able to say they can go with him. I will talk with DrHug when he gets home and see if I can do a couple of days.

Ok, now I am going to try to catch up on this new thread. I will skip the last 10 pages of the old one.

Thanks for listening to my troubles.

Sorry this is happeneing to you. It's bad enough to happen one at a time but this is a lot. Prayers and pixie dust sent your way.

Can you believe I've never watched Nip/Tuck either and it totally sounds like something I would like.

I do love those pay cable shows - still miss Six Feet Under. I wonder when Dexter starts on Showtime again.

LOVED Six Feet Under.

I was thinking the SAME thing!

Oh, Dear Angie, we will listen anytime! I fully understand the pain you are going through. My family has had these "multiple crashes" at times, too!

I sure hope your granddaughter is doing better today! I'm glad you live close to your family! It makes such a difference.

I am also sorry for your uncle, and his family.
I sure hope things improve soon!

Lots of hugs! And good wishes! and Pixie dust!

Global warming

Doug

Hey, Doug! That's what my hubbie says every time he hears of another snowstorm in the midwest or about how this year they got the most snow since 1800 or some such date!

I do remember much more snow when I was a child. They used to pile it up in the parking lot across from my house, and we would build tunnels and houses in it! One time a huge pile fell on my brother, and we had to dig him out......he was ok!

We can't get antibiotics prescribed here to take with us either. And I don't think our Dr. would write prescriptions for them for us to take with us either. I do think he would call on the phone to prescribe them. But we actually haven't been sick onthe cruise yet.
