[birkner]

That's the way to do it!

We've just finished tea. Haddock in cheese sauce, new potatoes for John, mushroom cous cous for me, spring green cabbage and carrots. Followed by strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Very nice too!

Sounds like a delightful tea. I am so looking forward to eating a normal meal soon!!

Just found this out....

From Ship to Shore: Disney Cruise Line Offers Cell Phone Service at Sea
Disney Cruise Line guests now have another way to share their vacation highlights with friends and family back home. The cruise line now offers cell phone service at sea. Disney Cruise Line has partnered with Wireless Maritime Services (WMS) to provide a wireless cellular network aboard the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder.

Subscribers of more than 340 cellular providers worldwide, including Cingular Wireless, Verizon Wireless, AT&T Mobility, Sprint, T-Mobile and Alltel, are supported on the network. Those guests who still look for a cruise vacation as a way to escape need not worry -- service is available only in guest staterooms.

Guests who choose to use the network are billed by their cell phone provider and rates will vary according to the carrier's plan. The ship's network is enabled while the ship is at sea, allowing guests to make and receive phone calls as well as utilize text messaging, email and other cellular services. While in port, the network is disabled, allowing guests the ability to access local cell phone providers.

Yup! I remember reading about that shortly after I got back from my Carnival cruise in January. I got spoiled on that cruise with being able to use my cell phone to stay in touch with Tyler back home. That ship was supposedly one of the first ones to have cell service, so I was wondering how quickly it would spread to others. Sure enough, a couple months later, I read about Disney having it. Cool, huh?! The only reason I'll use it is for staying in touch with Tyler, but it's so nice to have that option, especially since this will be the longest we've ever been apart.

Couldnt sleep today so got up to read the posts and marilyn cracks me up

I can just see everyone going around the ship speaking pirate talk!

Holly is trying to get me on a 3 day cruise when shes down, laid awake trying to think how to swing it, shes such a bad influence!!

Looks like shes coming down the end of Nov. Anyone up for a meet in fla?


Looks like im going to San Jose Nov 2-5 to help a friend teach.Anyone up for a mini meet there? Hate going there sometimes I end up stuck in the Holiday Inn at night twidling my thumbs with boredom, but I def love the cooler weather!

Don't forget to let me know specifics for the November dates....I'm up for a mini meet

Are you on a light diet at the moment?

After all the non fat food it will be nice to introduce some more tasty offerings.

Holly knows I'm there from 25th November till our cruise on the 2nd, so we may just get to meet.

Absolutely! We'll be getting there Sat. the 24th and hop on the mini-cruise on the 29th. Maybe we can all meet at WDW on the 25th.

Yes, they want me to go slowly back to a normal diet. I can't wait to add some of the many things I have had to give up over the last months.

Not good for us I'm afraid as we won't get to POR till after 5pm and will just crash I think.

Don't let that mean you can't all meet that day though.

I was thinking that too but thats the day marilyn get in and she might be exhausted?
Im taking that Sat-Wed off when Holly is here, so we can all pack in my car and get to WDW in about 90 min.( I have to listen to her chatter all that time too )
What about mon or tues? Meet at Downtown Disney or somewhere else, im open to suggestions.

Then as for San Jose, Ill know in another week or so for sure if Im going and then can plan.
Wohoo dis meets all over the USA!
I say we go get Walts plane thats parked at MGM to charter!
Holly you know any pilots?

OH you had my mouth watering!!!!!!!
Ive been watching everyone at work lose weight like crazy, the most on one nurse was 56 lbs so I finally asked how everyone was doing it. They are doing a Dr supervised diet with vit b12 injections and appetite suppressants .
I need to lose so went yesterday and was kind of leary but they did a ekg, blood work and met with a nutritionist and physician.I was impressed!
So got my shot and pills and now I cant sleep but im not hungry. They have you on a protein diet( kind of like south beach) for the first 4 days then a high protein low carb. I couldnt do it on my own though and hope the shots will help on the energy too. I guess its not right for everyone but I needed to do something.Now the problem is working nights and sleeping days as I havent slept today but she said I could adjust the timesof the pills.

Oh no!!! Whenever we're all in the car together, it seems to be the kids jabbering away! The adults can't get a word in edgewise!

Heather, I just know it will work great for you and before you know it, others will be asking you how you've been losing weight!

 

[HollyTyler]

Heading to dinner later with some co-workers at my favorite Mexican restaurant! Yummy!

Leaving in a few minutes to pick Tyler up from school, then play for a bit until his dad picks him up, then off to have fun for a teeny bit before coming home to do homework.

Have a great evening everybody! I'm sure I'll be back on homework breaks.

Sounds serious. Hope it works for you.

If I can't meet up for a long visit, then I am sure we can join up somewhere just to say hi!
