[TiggersPal]

Well, I'm surprised that my sister isn't posting, she has the day off. I have to go to work, but am taking my sweet time!

HEY TO WOODY and MRS WOODY!!!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

I'm here...was just popping a fritatta in the microwave.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Oh...for those of you who may be booking on your own insurance. There are two companies (who are also offered on insuremytrip.com) who will cover pre-existing conditions IF you purchase within 24 hours of your FINAL payment.

They are: CSA Web Direct Luxe and HTH Worldwide (both basic and preferred). I'm thinking I'll want to go with one of these this time, since big sister is in my cabin and both of us have had health 'issues'.

HI there MIssy!!!!!

Indeed, she's bullied me my entire life, "Peg, let's plan your life"... OH, actually that was Dianne, but Jackie always "helped". . . does that count? Actually, Jackie is the best sister a girl could have - she DID in fact GIVE me my first Arabian horse!!!!

Yes, she did... true story!

Hi Peg!!!

Wow, that is one special sister!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

, "Peg, let's plan your life"... OH, actually that was Dianne

The last thing Dianne said to me when we were on the phone on Friday......"On your day off Monday, sit down and PLAN YOUR LIFE!" ...then she laughed!

Why do Drs dooooooooo this to their patients

The Dr's office called today to tell me, I need to get my results from the MRI and she is reffering me to an Ear Nose & Throat Dr..

Ok, I talked to the Dr's office on Friday, The nurse told me I need to speak with the Dr cause she wasn't in on Friday to tell me what she wants me to do next..

Sooooo I waited.. worried.. ALL Weekend long.. Fri, Sat, Sun..

Just to find out Today, that I need to see a specialist.. Why couldn't I be told this on Friday?? To spare my nerves It's not like I even got to talk to the Dr.. The nurse told me.. The same nurse that I spoke with Friday..

I so agree on this one. Another favorite is when they call you at home and leave a message when they KNOW you have a regular M-F 9-5AM job...and that's where you can be reached. I actually had one doctor REMOVE my home number from their records and replace it with my cell (which I don't normally use during the day, but I at least have it with me).

Ah ha!..here's where everyone ran off too. I thought you guys were hiding on me. Checking in. Good to see everyone again.

How's everyone's cruise planning going? I checked some airfares yesterday but it's a little too soon to book with SWA or JetBlue. I'll check back again next month.

Hi Kevin, great to see you again.

I think we are all just beginning to think about planning etc. We booked our fares a couple of weeks ago, so it is a definite now!!!

Oh I LOVE that.. You know my "day" phone number is work.. So why do you call my "night" phone number during the day to leave me a message?
Why bother asking for a day time and night time phone number then??

I love it when they do stuff like that. That should just be the standard response anyway b/c majority of the time they're going to send you to someone else. So why not just go ahead and say: "here's the results and the doctor is referring you to so and so and you don't need to talk to the doctor about it unless you have questions that we can't answer for you."

So I have a question. Is anyone planning a male version of the Champagne Girls? perhaps the Beer Dudes or something? I would do it, but with a 7 month old, I hardly have time to myself.

there is a 'Shots areound the Ship' being planned. I guess you could drink beer at each place!!

I'm thinking 'the boys' could plan to visit whatever bar DCL doesn't assign the Champagne Girls to during that time. That way...no planning involved...and isn't that the way DHs like it! Or, perhaps, the Dads could rally poolside while keeping an eye on the kids. That sounds like a good use of MAN power!

There will definately be a "Shots Around The Ship" one night (non gender specific).

HI there MIssy!!!!!

Indeed, she's bullied me my entire life, "Peg, let's plan your life"... OH, actually that was Dianne, but Jackie always "helped". . . does that count? Actually, Jackie is the best sister a girl could have - she DID in fact GIVE me my first Arabian horse!!!!

Yes, she did... true story!

Sounds like a story worth telling. Shall we bring popcorn and soda-pop and a comfy pillow or folding chair?????

Marilyn is right, and as official secretary, she's going to be making a list and checking it twice.

Now, I'll have to work on the "Edwardian Tea," as soon as I figure out what it is.

Jackie told us that story during our honeymoon.

(And lest anyone is confused, yes, Jackie and Cheri were on our honeymoon with us.

We take them along for most of our life events.)

Thank you for this info! I thought it had to be done within 24 hours of the deposit.

I've met two of the triple treat. I'm looking forward to meeting the third on the cruise.

Yes, that is true for pretty much every other insurance carrier you would buy from...that's why I wanted to bring everyone's attention to these two specific carriers....BE SURE TO READ THE FINE PRINT and are getting the right policy.

Next time I go take a look on insuremytrip, I'll check these out.
