really glad to be home and to have tomorrow off, just had dinner, and off upstairs in a bit with a glass of baileys and a new episode of dexter. good way to spend a friday night

We have started watching Dexter on DVD - all I can say is WOW. Just finished season 1 and are now 4 episodes into Season 2. Talk about addicting!

(No spoilers please - lalalalalalalalalalalala - plugging ears!)

So I am trough more than 15 pages, because I wasn't on the forum for a couple of days. But I am back.
My father is passed away this week. Nothing dramatic. It was a releave, because he had very much pain. He was 88 years old and broke his hip and shoulder a couple of weeks ago. And after an operation, a new hip. But they couldn't do anything on the shoulder. And he was dementing too.
My sister en me have made all the arangements for the funeral so now I have some time for the forum. I can now focus on the cruise.

And ......no still no cabin assignements.
I am so sorry that Jacqueline doesn't go with us.
And thanks Auntlynne for the recap.
And flubber making I like it.
6 weeks and we go...it comes closer and closer.

I am so sorry to hear your news Liesbeth. However much a relief it was for him, you will still be grieving. I hope you remember him as he was when he wasn't suffering. Lots of love and hugs.

Our condolences on the loss of your dad. I lost my dad a few years ago and it is always hard to loose a parent.

so sorry to hear about your father, my thoughts are with you and your family.
we're going through something similar with gary's dad at the moment, he's still alive, but not coping and recovering very well from treatment for a recurring brain tumor, we think its back again as he's going downhill rapidly and not responding to anything anymore.
as much as it seems horrible to say "its a relief", it actually is, as its never easy seeing a loved one in pain.

ooh, the temptation to tell you what goes on....... we're on season five at the mo!

 

[karentan]

Dang, so much for watching dexter, the circuit breaker tripped my sky box off and it takes ages to turn back on, so I've missed the beginning. Will have to settle for +1 instead.
So back to the disboards then!
Now where'd you all go?!

 

[hazelandannie]

I am hovering as there is nothing on tv tonight and I just found a lonely lil pot of haagen dazs in the freezer and a bottle of wine- the question is ....... What do I have first???

 

[Rikersmom]

Ah, Karen--something else we have in common. I love Dexter. I'm not caught up on this season, but we can discuss what a great show it is. My sons Kevin and Steve got me into it. They noticed some of my reading material was a bit on the "dangerous" side, so they figured I could handle the adventures of a serial killer. Nice when the guys understand their mom.

Kevin told me that he did send the funds via Paypal, so I hope that is one that you got.

Wonder when they will get around to assigning our staterooms...next week, I hope.

I lost my Daddy 16 years ago and still miss him so...and my Mom passed away almost 2 weeks ago... UGH! It's been a rough July for so many - I've learned of so many losses. (Sorry to be such a downer.)

May your wonderful memories of your Dad help you through this difficult time...he is whole again and free from pain.
We need to get together on the cruise and make a toast to our parents!

Wine ice cream float!
Or ice cream with a wine sauce.
Ice cream au vin.

Attention all Daniel Taxi Madeira tour participants

I want to let everyone know that they can ONLY prepay with credit cards on PayPal before the tour as the drivers are not going to have credit card machines. If you don't want to prepay, then please be prepared to pay in Euros the day of the tour.

If you have any questions about paying on PayPal, please send me a PM. This information has been available on the link but I took it off for a few days while I am updating both lists.

At one point, I thought we might be able to use credit cards that day but that has not materialized.

Everyone on the tour will get a van assignment soon via PM and I will post on the DIS when the assignments are complete.

Cutoff to sign up for either Madeira East or West tour is Saturday, August 27.

Please PM me if you have any questions.

Could've been worse, you could have Ben and jerry's phish food, and have fish swimming in your wine!

We zoomed down the turnpike to Miami last time and I think it took 4+ hours. How long would it take to drive the route you are suggesting? It sounds nice. We are flying home from Miami again this time too.

It's 70 miles from Palm Beach to Miami Beach down (or up) US1 and 1A and can take 2-3 hours but it's worth the trip at least once. The mansions are really beautiful in Palm Beach and includes Donald Trump's place. The Kennedy mansion is also in PB but very difficult to find and a bit out of the way. You would need directions. The trip from Vero Beach to Jupiter Beach also has some beautiful ocean scenery.

Is this what you are talking about:

Best advert EVER!

Yes, that's it exactly, my all time favorite Disney commercial

Sorry for your Father's passing, I understand about the relief as my Dad was suffering with cancer before he died a few years back. I so wanted his suffering to be over, but I wanted to keep him around also. Now they are living pain free in a much happier place, I hope that thought comforts you

We have never done Rockin Bar D but I am so looking forward to it on this cruise.

I have only ever done Karaoke once - never again!!! Well I suppose it depends on how drunk I am and how many others will sing with me.

Aww come one Claire, I bet you and Mary could get up and do a duet after a few Snowballs ... how about this one ...

Can someone tell me how I could get that logo that so many of you have - Taking the Magic Home, with the dates of our trip and the picture of the ship, etc, in a form where I could actually print it? TIA

Here's what I did... not sure if I did it right but it worked. 1st I made a photobucket account. It's free and all and I'll use it when on post other pictures on the boards. 2nd I found a photo that I wanted... I happened to use one that is on someone else's signature and I copied it to my desk top. 3rd I uploaded that photo to my photobucket account. 4th I added it to my signature with the Insert Image feature.

It took me all of a minute or so to do everything I just typed. Actually, I think it took longer to type it than it did to actually put the picture in my signature.

Does that help?

Kind of, I opened a photobucket account, and I now have that in there and on my desktop, but I can't figure out how to manipulate the size and print it...I'm using a Mac...
