[pjpoohbear]

They just specialize in root canals and stuff like that. I am not sure if I got the name right but my dentist sent me to them. Most dentist are not real good at root canals and I have heard this makes all the difference in the world. Any one else know the name? Any dentist around?

On the royalty note....
I grew up going to a British school in Brazil, and in 1977 (or 1978) Prince Charles landed in a helicopter on our field and came to see us all. He stopped every once in a while to talk to a student, and he even stopped and talked to ME!! I even have a picture of it! I know it was nothing to him, but I still think it's cool.

Having some people over for scrapbooking in a little while - did my version of cleaning earlier, but good enough to allow people in the house.

It's supposed to be 80-82 degrees here today - nice sunny skies.

It will be the first DCL cruise in history where everyone is up before the first breakfast even opens Everyone thinking they are the first ones up....

Can't you just get the visual of people sneaking upstairs in the jammies for coffee and croissants?

OT, we were in London for the Queen Mum's 100th birthday. The Queen Mum always reminded me of my own grandmother.

Have fun scrapbooking!!

We have a soccer game at 2:15. Talk about a wasted day. I don't know who I made mad to get that horrible time.

How many of us have passports or will be getting them by cruise time?

We have ours. We used them for our cruise last Feb.

When we cruised in 05, we just used our birth certificates/Drivers licenses. We just ordered passports for the family in December and got them within 3 weeks...really quick service. If you haven't ordered yours yet.....you can smile when they take your picture. They told us you couldn't smile, but I have heard that that is not true.

Never heard anything before about not smiling. All our passport pictures have smiling faces.

We had our pictures taken at the post office. He let us see them and if we didn't like them he would have retaken them .

When DH was in the Marines, I had to have an ID. If you smiled they would admonish you with "this isn't a tupperware party, don't smile"

They also called us dependents, which made me both mad and laugh. I made more money than DH and technically he was dependening on me as I put him through his last year of college.

Now we are "family members"

Goodness, is that STILL going on? Do we yanks still have hundreds of years worth of "North/South, the war isn't really over" to look forward to?

The history books say the War of the Roses ended in 1485.
But I suspect the writers were not from either Yorkshire or Lancashire!

My husband would never dare buy me red roses, whatever the occasion. Although I have to confess that we once had a narrowboat called Lancaster - but it was named after the aircraft and most definitely not the county.

I met him at work in 2005, just about a week before he and Camilla announced their engagement. They both came back last year but I only saw them in passing, we didn't do a formal introduction line-up that time.

There is a whole thread about it taking 10 weeks to get passports after application. Forewarned is forearmed.

We have ours. I've had one for 27 years. Can't go far without them!

Also at some post offices you have to make an appointment. Someone posted they had a 7 week wait for a Saturday appointment add that to the 10 week processing time and WOW.

EB has no choice about passports, with their stop in Cartegena, they'll all have to have them.

I was just reading that. I will get them as soon as I sign up DD for school and soccer because they take your birth certificate and I am not going back to get another one ever again.

I wish the US would require them for all travel out of the US. People here do not like change and are balking at getting them. With all of the proposed exceptions it is getting silly.

I think all the Yorkshire/Lancashire war of words is in fun - least I hope so!!! We even have a White Rose Day now!!!

We didn't used to be able to smile in the photographs did we? We all looked like escaped convicts!!!

We were approched with doing this with our DD in first grade as well. Very glad we didn't do it as she struggled later with her 4th grade math, mostly because she is TOO social!!!

Go with your gut, it usually works out for the best!!

Our oldest DD was in combined grade classes and did first, second and third in one year thus graduating a year early. She is 39 and I don't think she or we every regretted skipping the grade. She always (from 2yo) was more comfortable with kids a year or 2 older.
