Yep - hope it all goes as I plan

Now this opens up 2010....hmmmmmmmmm...what to do then??

Hot bubble bath sounds wonderful - I could possibly do that too

I'll be glad when January is over! Bad enough that it's so cold and snowy, but a good friend of mine's mom passed away a week and a half ago and she was so close to her and is so sad I know a lot of you can relate to this A few days ago my sister-in-law's very good friend died, she was only 61 . She was such a nice person, just collapsed and died a few days later, they aren't sure yet what happened. She was a nurse in the oncology dept. Next Saturday is the 7th anniversary of Charlie's death (my DH)

.....back......Deb and John are not sure of their dates either. At this point, we'll see if we're even going to be able to make the trip. We took a big hit last month in expenses.....the SC trip, the truck, Christmas, Tom.....we're still digging out. Then I have a b2b cruise to pay for in June. With our Ray expenses each month....our budget is tighter. We applied for a veterans pension for Ray. We qualify, but they said it will take 4-8 months before we start seeing results. We were told that Ray is due to receive from $1,000-1,500 a month. That's what we're paying out for him. It will be very nice to be able to keep our money, but it will take some more time.

Essentially, we may have to cancel our Apr/May WDW trip. It's a real shame too because all of you seem to be making plans for minimeets that I would love to attend. We'll give it until March before we make our decision as to whether or not we'll be able to do it. We are getting some tax money back, so we'll see what happens.

Sorry to hear that Deb, though it is understandable, and I know you want to do the B2B like I do, so spometimes things have to go. I hope Ray's pension comes through sooner rather than later to ease things for you and maybe allow you to take this trip.

Maz - you're up late....you ok?

Well, I'm open for some exciting destinations on a cruise for 2011 . And after the APRIL TA I'm thinking it will have to be warm

Well, that would be great if we could manage that. Lets hope for some great itineraries!!!

Maz - you're up late....you ok?

Just can't sleep. No reason, just one of those nights. Once I am well awake though the old mind gets going!!!

Oh yes!!! Hopefully by then there will be another DCL ship with different itineraries.

I still wouldn't mind another PC cruise with some different ports. That would mean we could do some west coast visits. I'm not sure I would get John to Hawaii unfortunately, but as I never thought I would ever get him on a cruise, and in September we are taking no's 3 & 4 you just never know.

We need a presentation by Woody on all the places he has visited to help us choose.

 

[granmaz]

Well, off to bed again!!! Goodnight.

Marilyn, unfortunately, I can relate to your sleeping woes I always related it to the fact I was a worrier, but thought it would improve now that my children are adults and have moved away...but it seems to be worse instead of better.

I never thought I would ever cruise! The Sept cruises will be #2 and #3 for me, so I know the feeling! I only wish my DH could have had these experiences with me.

I think we need Woody to give presentations too! What a great idea! Hey Woody Hurry up and finish your cruise so you can report back to us

I would love to go to Hawaii. I'd love to see Alaska some day, but I want some warmer ports first, especially since my 2010 cruise probably won't be too warm! After the PC cruise and the upcoming WC, I think I am done with mexico for a while. Now South America is another story! Ah well, it's all really dreaming at this point of time

There was an interesting programme on BBC last night. 'What the Victorians did for us' with Adam Hart-Davis. It is a series, but last night it was on new Victorian standards. I thought you would have enjoyed it Ian.

This show was on US TV a while back, on the History Channel, I think. I watched the little segment they showed on U Tube, and I realized I had seen it before.

Today I went to the Central Florida Highland Games....it was so much fun! I actually made myself a new outfit to wear. I'll download the photo.

There was a lot of cute guys there in kilts!

I just checked the weather. It's 44F going up to 63F

That is between 61 degrees and 80 degrees warmer than it was here yesterday.

You are not permitted to use 44F or 63F and the words cold together.

You are permitted to say, "It is cooler than usual." "It is cooler than we are used to."

You are not permitted to use the word, cold.

Have a blast at AK. It is one our favorite parks.

I wonder why so many people seem not to like it.

It's a beautiful park, and I think one of the best themed and detailed among the 4.

Have a great time!

Frigid is my word for the weekend...

& I've never had the chance to wander around AK alone so I imagine I will get alot more out of it when I do get the chance. I find it's harder to navigate because of all the foliage, but if I get to go on my own I may get a better feel for it.

I am finding Facebook extremely creepy.

Yesterday, I received an email from a guy who I was friends with in high school. The last time I spoke to him in was in 1973.

He also stopped speaking to me in 1973 when I came out. That was 36 years ago.

I just realized that I can change my settings so that people can't find me.

I've got nothing to hide, but I really don't know how I feel about people wanting stumble back into my life.

Am I the only one who finds this creepy?

I find it creepy that people who couldn't give me the time of day in HS now want to be my friend.. . did they finally figure out I'm incredible and can't live without me???

Also, how in the world do you guys keep up with Facebook?

I have so little time, it can be an effort to keep up with this thread.

Some of us don't have lives... or we work in front of a computer all day with lots of breaks between work...

I'm glad to see you only put on 15 pages while I was sleeping off the latest dose or 2 of vicodin...

Okay ya know the Dino ride in AK? Well being the mean mom that I am I was able to ride it first and then plant Molly on the side where she would be totally freaked out from the Dino that tried to eat her for lunch.

Look closely she is the one in the 2nd row on the end...the rest of the front 2 rows are all family it was hirlarous

Then since I can't stand not telling her that I created the scare she got mad and pouted in the store just outside the ride

I can only hope that I'm still young enough to play these kind of gags on her kids with her when she is a mom.

I tell ya, I was the BIGGEST fraidycat as a child and my sisters and brother-in-laws ALWAYS made fun of me and tried to scare me. Those are some of the best childhood memories I have...so I really don't scare her out of meanness, just out of a misplaced sense of my own fun as a child. Of course, she will not appreicate any of this for many years to come and even then I just its a crap shoot on if she will grown into the trickster like her mama

Oh! Ha mean MOM!
