We managed to get a limo

What company are you using?

Not a bad idea, though I have rather exotic tastes, especially in names. The dogs are name Tallulah Bankhead, and Truman Capote. Our poor doggy who now sleeps with the angels (OK she was 18 years old) was named Jane Austen.





Unlikely. He doesn't know how to drive. Though he is scaring me as of late. For the first time in 21 years, he's shown some interest in a car. This has never happened before. The other day the conversation turned to the Smart car and he referred to the model names. My mouth almost dropped open.





That's the whole point, isn't it???? Wouldn't it be great to get thrown out of Palos? Just think of the buzz it would create. Just think about the post cruise buzz on the boards!!

You know, as Oscar Wilde said, "The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about."

He also said, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
.

I think the smart would be a great first car! Certainly easy to learn to drive in. It would have a great advantage during the drivers test in the three point turns and parallel parking portion of the test.

I am trying to keep up with the thread but even with my super human DISing skills, I lag behind.

Yesterday I had to take my son to see a pediatric cardiologist because he had a abnormal EKG. His blood pressure has been running high ever since his Dad died, I just assumed it was stress induced, but a "variant" EKG that the Dr. ordered sent us to see a specialist. He had an echocardiogram, which turned out to show that his heart is normal. WHEW!! This last year has been the hardest of my life and I am so glad that this was not another mountain to climb. I am worn out.

The grand jury will be meeting in May to look at all cases that they have to do. My husband's accused murderer will be one of those cases. I have a meeting with the DA on Friday of next week to go over the case and talk about the death penalty and all that. If convicted, this would be this person's third conviction for armed robbery.

I have always had mixed feelings about the death penalty and I am talking to my son about it, he feels that death penalty should be considered. This is all pretty overwhelming to me. It is one thing to be pro death penalty or against death penalty, but when you are faced with a situation like mine, it is a little harder to be pro death penalty. I mean this is considering an actual death and not just a theoretical death. I think about his family, who are most likely just innocent folks, maybe he has kids, a mother, siblings.... They have lost him to prison for the rest of his life for sure if found guilty, it is another thing to face the death sentence. I don't want to start a whole death penalty debate or anything, it is just something that I have to really think about right now.

None of this will be my decision for sure. So I am trying to think how my husband would have felt about it. In the few comments that I remember him saying about similar subjects, I believe that he would have said that people have to face up to the consequences of their actions, whatever they may be. This is how he lived his life. I am going to use this philosophy as my guide.

Sorry to post such a serious subject on a fun thread, I guess I just needed to vent a little. I am glad we will be out of town during this time as the media will most likely be trying to contact us for comments, pictures and so forth during the whole time it is on the "news". Thanks for listening...

Okay, back to the fun cruise planning.

This cruise is definitely what you and your family need!

When are you planning on getting to the terminal on Saturday? Are you coming to Orlando early?

What a relief for you that all checked out ok for your son. As far as the court goings on and the media coverage do what you think is best and try to shield the kids as best you can from all this. I wish more people thought about their actions before doing such horrible things. They seem to not think about how crimes such as these have many victims as this affects whole families on such a deep level.

I see that nobody responded to my question about a company on the west coast ports for gifts. Hard to believe that there are no companies at all.

I saw this thread on the main cruise forum, but I haven't read it so not sure if it answers your question.

Good Morning everyone. I see you were busy little chatters last night. Going to catch up.

Weren't they just?!!!!!

Thanks, that is what I was wondering. For those who are doing Disneyland after the cruise, how are you getting to LAX or another airport after doing Disney?

I'm thinking Supershuttle for that leg, but still have to book a taxi or something from the port to DL.

1 to go....

Nearly.....

Take what you can....

Venetia, you stole it from Linda!!! You are so clever popping in just when a pirate is close.

Must have been the 40 second rule Linda!!!

 

[lillygator]

well the 24 rolling cooler is WAY out of my budget!

 

[pahrumpgirl]

I am WAY behind. Not done with Thread 7, read none of Thread 8 and only 14 pages of this one.

If someone has answered already, could you please post again and I will try to follow from here on? Or PM me?

What is the web address for the place where you ordered pins for trading?

THANKS!!

Jan

Jan, I think it was said that it is mousepinsonline.com. Will PM, you too.

Tammy, everything has been said. Just know that we are here to listen and will be there on the ship when and if you need us.

John1, sorry to hear about all the problems right now. I think we are all looking forward to this cruise more and more each day.

I asked this a bunch of times and got NOTHING. I tried the main board and another website still NOTHING. There really may be nobody who is cleared to do this in California?

Tammy, My heart goes out to you and your kids. I'm glad to hear that your sons heart is normal. That has to be a major relief for you. I will be thinking of you as you go to the meeting with the DA. I also won't debate the death penalty issue, but I understand that having this topic personally touch your life makes a big difference to how you view it. Like you say the decision is ultimately is not yours, but you have a right for your thoughts to be considered. I think you are wise to try to look at it as your DH might have. to you.
