So far it looks like more chose option 2 than 1 because of the straps. So it looks like we will go with that bag. I think the kids will have a great time with either one! We are up to 45 kids participating. Since we have to order by the dozen, I am planning on ordering 5 dozen to cover any last minute additions. I'll PM donors with the final amount.

Hope the nasty weather passes you by Amy, and everyone else in the hurricane zone! it must be a really trying time for you all. Our weather may be consistently dreary but at least we manage to avoid the extremes which a lot of you have to contend with! Sending lots of that the storms keep clear!

Good evening all:

Janice-my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Kim- I thought I had already responded but just looked today and maybe I did not send back my response anyway I sent my email address to you today by pm.

Amy- I am hoping the weather cooperates and you do not have to put up your shutters..

Well, I ma sitting here alone, no one is home...Dh is working, kids are with friends...so sad it is not chat night what should I do to pass the time? AH...shopping disney store.com here I come!

Janice - my deepest sympathies to you and yours.

Amy - doing the rain rain stay away dance for you...

Hugs for Janice

Best of luck (and fingers crossed) for those in Florida and environs.

We're just dealing with freeway crashes and brushfires here -- otherwise all is well (except DH's boss would make even the happiest Mouseketeer frown -- this is a family friendly board so I had to tone down the metaphor).

Sorry, I read back and read about Janice's recent loss.

I'm sorry I didn't read before posting.

I'll shut up

Janice, my deepest sympathies to you.

Amy, I hope all goes well and Gustav stays away.

Nicole, I completely understand. I am salaried but have on call status on evenings and every other weekend. (so basically 4 days off a month that I cherish) What I've learn over the past 9 years of this is to~~~
1. screen my calls ( and don't be afraid to not answer or call another to handle)
2. Set up guidelines to those who would call me as to what should be called and what should wait till the morning.
3. train the person who takes call when i am not to handle the situations as I would want them handled.

While some of my situations may be the same as yours some are not. I hope that helps. But I completely understand. Just do not feel bad to take your time away. In your field, you need your time to recoup/re-energize yourself or you'll do your patients no good.

Nicole - just wanted to send you a great big
that things start to improve and just keep focusing on the fact that in less than 2 months we will be all enjoying a very well-deserved rest on the Magic!

I don't think that there was anything wrong with you posting what you did.

We, as a group, can handle more than one friend's problem at a time.

So... we now pray (and if that is not your thing) think about Janice and you and hope that things will get better for both of you real soon.

To get cheesy and plagiarize a song: That's what friends are for.

AND WHY THE HELL DON'T MY SMILEYS WORK WHEN I AM ON THIS COMPUTER??? UGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! LOL

Back to the regular scheduled niceness: imagine the group hug emoticon immediately after the cheesy song line above... BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER SUCKS!

Wow! Those mood swings are coming out of no where today. Smiles and love all around!

Janice *hugs*
Thinking of you.

Janice - our thoughts and prayers with you as well .

Nicole - I also don't think there was anything wrong with what you said. But I did want to let you know that I thought it was very thoughtful of you to edit your post in consideration of what Janice and her family is going through. That shows why you have worked in hospice care as long as you have - despite the challenges - you are obviously someone who is very caring of others. That also explains why you find it so hard to set those limits to take care of yourself - you so easily see the other side. My thoughts and prayers are with you as well .

Amy - hope you don't need to dig out those shutters! You don't want another "snow day" already!

I noticed this wasn't available as an option when it came to booking our excursions - is this likely to be because it was already sold out with bookings from the castaway club members. I was really hoping to book this excursion and I have since noticed that you can book it through the Fury company's own website. Do you think this is a safe option? Thanks.

 

[jns]

Sarah never noticed it when I was booking at the CC members window either
If booking yourself make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get off and back on the ship

why not ask at the Sept Double dip thread and see if any one is booking this on they own

It wasn't available to book at 105 days out either.

Valerie, its the need to constantly shut the hurt away for nurses that make the profession as hard as it is. We continually shut it away out of respect for others.

We pay for that later though.

I've begged my kids not to go into healthcare! LOL

Thanks though

Does anyone know the actual arrival and departure times for Cozumel. I am thinking about booking a catamaran tour but need to know that I am not going to miss the ship! Thanks
