Safe travels everyone My wife will start packing on THURSDAY, I tried to get her to start last night, but she was still doing laundry and cleaning...She does this every trip. We are driving down SAT. morning around 2 AM, that will put us in POP Century parking lot @ 10:30. I like to drive at night while everyone is sleeping. I have to work until 2:00 on Fri., then I will go home, load the car and go to sleep. My wife will take our little guy to Recreation Station (about 15 MOON WALKS) and let him wear himself out, that way he will sleep on the way down. Will be at the LEGO STORE and The CHRISTMAS SHOP all day Sat. I may have to go take a nap around 2:30 (Auburn Vs. LSU on CBS)... May try and sneek over to Old Key West and meet a few people at Scott and Lynn's.

OK, Out of Office email set up, Phone message changed, Desk cleaned off (stuff stashed in the a drawer), personal stuff out of the work truck, files up to date, Attorney and PO notified , even packed up some office stuff getting ready for the move. Office cell will be turned off at 2:00.

Lynn should be home after 2:00, house all cleaned, Pups at the Kennel, a little last minute packing, now we have to wait till tomorrow morning to leave..... but hey

I AM ON VACATION

I am really looking forward to meeting one and all

Actually will go home and think to my self “ did I pack such and such”, tear the bags apart find the item in question, re-pack and do the same thing in about an hour.

Congrats, I'm about 2 hours away from being on vacation. Although it might be longer if my boss doesn't get in here and proof read the bulletin so I have time to run it off by 5 pm.

Bomb scare, Ken? Yikes. Those are never fun.

Shari was at a local school district office doing her "auditor" thing and a phone message was found on the office voice mail system from the night before saying that a bomb would go off at 10:00am. Since the phones from all the schools in the district roll to the district office when the schools are closed, they didn't know what school had received the call. So they had to evacuate all 7 schools and the district office.

Shari, and her auditing team, were standing around for 4 hours waiting for the building to be cleared. No bomb was found.

Okay Guys! Here's my contribution to the cruise. You KNOW I just had to do something before you sailed!
HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!
Georgie

To My Cruisin' Friends, Old and New

In 4 more days, you’ll be sailing away
Towards adventure and fun, to kick back and just play.

You’ve been chatting for months, maybe even a year.
All your plans are now set, swinging into full gear.

I send you good wishes, and joy across miles.
Keep safe, create memories, and come back with smiles.



Ode to the 11 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise
on the Disney WONDER
September 17 – 28, 2006
(sung to the tune of “My Favorite Things”)

Grass skirts, and lanyards, cigars and scotch meetings

Jammies at breakfast and linked dining seatings

New fish extenders with judging contests

When will there ever be times just to rest?



Star gazing evenings and wine tasting parties

Bubba mug group shots, Yes! Drink up me arties!

Lanyards and scrapbooks and SKYPE calls that ring

These are a few of our favorite things.



Secret Mickey’s, feel that sea breeze, see the palm trees sway

We’re tired of waiting. Get on with the show.

We wish we were there today!

​

Thats way cool

We're about 90% packed! Most of the stuff we had in our bags for Hawaii 3 weeks ago just got laundered and REPACKED. We just have to sort of review whats' in there and add the tuxes, pirate stuff, girls' princess outfits, grass skirt and a few other special things just for the cruise trip.

We still have til friday nite to fly (ugh, a red eye)...

This happened in Ventura today? Or yesterday? That's a shame. ... crazy kids. Are they able to trace the call back to it's source? Sometimes these kids are not aware of the caller ID function on come phone connections...

I missed the original post but I assume you are looking for kefir since you are on some strong antibiotics. I am "holistic" minded and want to give you some options in case you can't find kefir. Kefir comes in a bottle lots of times and might be near yogurt type smoothie drinks. If you can't find it plain yogurt, yes plain, with acidolphulus in it will do as will acidophulus pills, usually refrigerated at a health food store.
Again I didn't see the original post so sorry if this is a duplicate. Lots of the "normal" stores around me carry it. Not sure where you are in IL but there are Wild Oats stores in Chicago, Evanston, and Hinsdale that would have it. I am in a network of Moms all over the country and I can ask one in FL where to get it if you would like. Let me know.

HTH,

Thanks for the info Tara- I'm currently using both items. I take the pills once per day and the drink 3 times a day. It's the only way my poor stomach doesn't try to evacuate my body like the alien in Alien. I grew up in Utah, so I try to go homeopathic when I can or use it to compliment Western.

OK, Out of Office email set up, Phone message changed, Desk cleaned off (stuff stashed in the a drawer), personal stuff out of the work truck, files up to date, Attorney and PO notified ,

Hey Scott,
I'm glad you remembered to notify your parole officer and attorney- it's awfully nice of them to let you out of the state again.

 

[clten]

I'm almost finished packing!!!!

Finished packing??? Way ahead of me!
I thought about starting. In fact on lunch today I went out and bought a suitcase so I can start.

Hey Scott,

Finally got home here at 3:00, was shooting for 2:00 but such is life. Hey that bracelet is a pretty Kewl thingie, I thought there was a decorating contest for those Ala Martha.

 

[Q's My Princess]

Laurie, Lynn has been doing a saline nasal rinse, she did it to help with ear clearing while diving, wonder if that would help????

Thanks Scott...I'll start that tonight. Anything to feel normal again...okay...semi-normal !

 

[rotary2808]

Well, I'm done!!!!

Leaving work in 30 minutes. Like I posted earlier we fly out this time tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait!!!

I hope everyone has safe travels over the next few days. Can't wait to see and meet everyone on the Wonder Sunday!!!!

Later guys!!!!

Anyone know what's going on?? There has always been extra rooms for this cruise. Then suddenly an hour ago everything went crazy. Now there is only cat 4's. I just called Disney and they said there are only 8 of those at this time. ?????? This morning there were at least four different types of rooms and cat 3's . I just don't get it.

 

[BobandLee]

Last day at the Salt Mine for me, then vacation, Miss my running buddies this mornings as they are at the Kennel, they are missing waffles,

DSL just died all of a sudden last night.

Safe travels to one and all.

Here we thought you didn't love us anymore.

and I was worrying about losing mine.

Last Min Cast Member deals????
