) and, while both were good, the best IMHO was In-Laws.
I think we hit about 109 today... that's avg for here right now. Wait till August it'snot uncommon to hit 120+. A few years back we topped out at 132

I don't get it, Hearing aids are a necessity! I checked our medical insurance and they are covered here up to a certain amount. But if your income is below a threshold our government supplies them. I know that won't help you much since I live in Australia, much just out of interest.Unfortunately hearing aids are not covered under medical insurance either. All his visits and testing are covered but the devices are not. We had to come out of pocket completely for them. Fortunately my mom helped with them the first time around. And she offered to help this time as well. But she had already given me her motherly advice regarding this cruise and she doesn't think we should go. I still haven't told her that we are past the point of no return. Yes, I am a grown woman and still afraid of my mommy.
You could probably just pick up a wrap or pashmina in a complimentary colour?Okay Corinna. You have me seriously considering one of the dresses that seller on eBay has (don't worry...it's not the same one you got!). My biggest hesitation (besides I shouldn't be spending the money right now) is that I do not like to be sleeveless because I'm not comfortable with my flabby arms!
Thank you and thank you, Hayley!
Speaking of.....those FE gifts and I have a date tonight!I really need to get moving on those! In fact, I think I'm going to turn the laptop off shortly so I'm not as easily distracted! We need some quality time together, ya know?!
Thanks so very much for converting to PDF file....
Di just got home and is excited to have the journal to capture our moments...

Another positive experience here!!
Anyway, just wanted to give you another positive outcome to ponder.

Good grief, not even 24 hours since I was here and already 10 more pages! Holy cow batman!
And for those Farmville players with an iPhone, apparently the app has hit the iTunes app store! Now there is no excuse not to harvest your crops on time wherever you are
We use both words here meaning the same thing.
As I work in IT, we deal with routers a lot. We pronounce router is with a long OU sound, not as in root like a tree root. We have a few staff from the UK and when they have started with us, they invariably call them ROOTers - this causes the entire team to crack up laughing as a "rooter" is a slang term for either a "try hard, wannabe type person" or "root" as in having sex. They usually snap out of calling them that very quickly
We call them "lackies".
You have my sympathy! The implant is a horrible process! I was "lucky" with my one that they could put the implant in at the same time they removed my smashed tooth (bike accident) but it was very painful healing process. I did like the wee metal bar though, I was sad when they finally put the enamel fake tooth on, the bar was more "fun" to play with :rotfl
"Faff" to muck about. I say it to my Mum all the time "stop faffing about!" - usually when we are about to leave home to go somewhere and she just had a bunch of little tasks she needs to do before we leave.
I've had a "cruisey" day so far. I have started working on a few more fish gifts - a bit of an experiment so no promises.
I also have sorted out all my trading pins and got them ready to travel. I'm bringing about 50 with me including some Tokyo Disney ones and some fairly early pins. I'm happy to trade any I'm wearing so if you see me around and want to trade, feel free to ask me
Ok so now a skivvy is a top, a servant and lackies are like skivvy is to servants or a in the UK a derogatory way of referring to someone. Ask me if I am confused.
I assume then both muck means and faff means procrastinating or fiddling around, am I correct? The only way I have heard that other than referring to cleaning out a horse stall is the expression "Where the is muck, there is Brass". I understand that to meet if there is a dirty job, there is money to be made.
Told the router story to DH. He and both thought it was hilarious. Right down to the root, eh?
I am not looking forward to this process of dental implants....
As for pin trading, I am not sure how many pins we will bring or if we will just start a new lanyard.
. It will be great getting to talk w/DISsers from around the world.
awwwwww the good ole days

Yay, Finally another Coach Lover, all this Dooney and Bourke talk, I'm a Coach girl too!
Regarding the homeschooling-esque port materials some of us were interested in pulling together to enrich the cruise educationally, anyone who is interested please PM me. I imagine pulling together a small packet of information on each port (maybe one port per person to keep it simple and easy) that would be easy to review with the kids to give them some cultural context etc. Ok, that sounds really dry - I don't want them to be - just fun and simple and informative.
PM me if interested in participating.
Am I the only one who's just a little disturbed at the placement of the acorns in this picture?
Our ships clock is in the bedroom of our RV because it reminds us of our stateroom on the ship.Same color wood and that cozy feeling.
Well, I've been lurking here for a few days trying to get caught up on what is going on and I've decided that's impossible, so I'm just going to jump in and try to figure out what you have been up to in the last million posts!
This will be our sixth cruise, so our first gold cruise
I'm (Andrea) traveling with DH (Michael), DS12 (Zachary) and DS10 (Adam). We are in room 5012. We are taking DCL air, so don't know our flight plans yet. Unfortunately, DH can't take any more days off work than he already is, so we plan on being a bit tired on 9/18 after what I'm sure will be a long day/night of travel. I think the excitement will help us out, though.

Jason and I are definitely game people
I just cant believe folks would wait in line for a phone
No jumping jacks for you then Granny marilyn
They skirted ones are very pretty ,I like them,where did you get it?
Take care Marilyn, pancreatitis is horrible
Well, I have been trying on my clothes again, last night at work I booked the train to take us to Manchester, I dont suppose anybody else is staying at manchester airport on the tuesday evening???
We are staying at the raddsin blu.
Today I was running, and my leg was all good, I know you are all thinking, yeah right whatever but Im so excited that its finally getting better after a year of physio and faffing with it.
Putting it delicately, I just try to pull it to the side.....
Another positive experience here!! About 4 years ago I started waking up in the middle of the night with a burning pain in the middle of my chest that radiated around to my back. I couldn't really tell if the pain was coming from my front side or the back but it was really annoying. It started off mild but after a few months I was awake almost every might. Finally went to the doc and an ultrasound showed I had only one gallstone. I thought no big deal, I will just eat better and exercise more and try to get rid of it on my own. Well, the pain just got worse over the next 18 month until 3 days before Thanksgiving, I couldn't eat, sleep or move. Doctor almost drove me to the ER herself but I pay for my own insurance and it's super costly to have anything done at the ER and since this was now an emergency I was able to get in with my surgeon 2 days later. Turned out the gallstone was the size of a golf ball and it was trying to get thru the bile duct which is smaller than a finger tip causing contractions similar to child birth (or so I was told that's why it hurt so bad). I was on the strongest dose of Vicodin and that didn't even help. I also couldn't loose weight despite the fact I was only eating broth for over 2 weeks since I couldn't keep anything down.
After the surgery I was a whole new person!! The overall swelling in my whole body went down and I instantly lost about 10 pounds. It's been 2 years and I've had no side effects. I haven't experienced any of the stomach/bowel issues that some do and I'm back to eating anything I want! Best part is there hasn't been anymore pain whatsoever!!
The one thing I don't recommend is having it done right before Thanksgiving!!! It really sucks to watch everyone else eat all the good food and you can't dare eat anything in fear that one of the 25 staples holding your abs closed might pop out! The staples really were the worst part for me. Try your best to avoid them!
I know everyone has to do what's best for them but this is something I really wish I would have just taken care of sooner because I let it go until it almost popped and as my doctor still likes to remind me, that could have been fatal.
It's much better to be able to control when you're going to have a procedure done than to be forced at a bad time because you waited to long!
Anyway, just wanted to give you another positive outcome to ponder.

This sounds very painful Sending and hope you are not in too much pain. Having dental treatment is a nightmare.I also have sorted out all my trading pins and got them ready to travel. I'm bringing about 50 with me including some Tokyo Disney ones and some fairly early pins. I'm happy to trade any I'm wearing so if you see me around and want to trade, feel free to ask me
I stayed devoted to the task. I'm by no means finished, but I got a significant chunk of the work completed. Sad part is that as I was setting them aside, I counted them finding I'm missing one. *sigh* work tomorrow! I hear ya!distant water colored memories, of the way we were...
Putting the microphone down now...
ONLY 12 WEEKS UNTIL WE BOARD THE DISNEY MAGIC !!!!
Thank you, Sarah!!
Ha ha I will post you a scottish to english disctionary so you can get with it,lolOk, I give 'faffing" with it????? I am going to have such a fab vocabulary by this cruise!!!
Yes, thats ok as long as you dont have to hold the door closed as well.Putting it delicately, I just try to pull it to the side.....
That sucks, hope you can figure something put.
Hi, just wanted to say, they dresses are so good looking only you would be focusing on you "so called " flabby arms, my ams are very flabby (post huge wt loss) although I notice it, I am sure nobody else looks at my arms and also in my pics you def dont notice, go for it, you only live once, dont worry about arms.Okay Corinna. You have me seriously considering one of the dresses that seller on eBay has (don't worry...it's not the same one you got!). My biggest hesitation (besides I shouldn't be spending the money right now) is that I do not like to be sleeveless because I'm not comfortable with my flabby arms!
You're really pleased with the quality of the dress you got, right? I saw a couple of "neutral" feedbacks that spoke to that, however, I know you can't please everyone, too.
Thanks! That's good to know. I'm sure I could find a postcard at a shop in town. Is that a place where you can buy the postage as well?
Pirate away! Pirate away!
