WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 11

Did you decide when to tell them? I heard Ken wanted to tell them while he was driving... kind of hard to video at that time...

Who says I'm driving???

 

[Tink rules]

I've decided NOT to take my camera and I won't take a single picture. All pictures will be done via the photopass ...

Ken with out a camera is like a day without sunshine...

(and if it rains next week, you know the reason...)










Well... I have to go hit the hay...

Goodnight Ken and don't forget to say hello to Marilyn and Deborah before you sign off...

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

And she's never going to want to go to Canada... (it's too cold I hear...)

Yep 365 days of the year. You do know that we never take our snow tires off except to replace the studs. We ONLY sell -40 antifreeze up here too. Open-toed sandals up here are called "SNOWSHOES".

I think I have a reputation on here ....

Jsut watching sportscentre and then it will be sleepy time for me too.

It was a busy day at "work" today. Had a government meeting for my actual day job this morning (file review for our contract). Then it was off to the campaign office to get computers (10 new Dell laptops) set up and ready for the phone canvassing this evening.

Trained another 8 ppl today for the phone canvassing on the campaign. It was hit or miss with a few of them. I don't understand why ppl volunteer to phone when they don't want to do the phoning?? Had a couple of those tonight and I'm not sure how accurate the data they calculated really is. Both seem like they would be great at data entry or something else but not phoning. But that's what they signed up for tonight.

I'll have to analyze the data tomorrow and figure it all out.

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Well, there we go. All caught up.

Took the van in today to get a check up $110. Told me it needs a tune up for $282. Apparently we've still got the original fuel filter in the van - afte 137,000kms (85,127.85) so I guess it was due.

Then we found out we need new breaks. Originally we were quoted $55 for those, but then when they went to fix those it was apparently worse than they thought so it is now upwards of another $300.

This trip is getting more and more expensive and we haven't even left yet.

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Well, I guess I should sign off.

Which means it is my responsibility to say to Deborah and Marilyn:

(that was correct, right Michelle?)

 

[granmaz]

Here's a conversation I just had with Shaelyn:
Shaelyn: Mom, are you and Daddy thinking about going to Disneyland?
Me: yup, one day we'll go there again
Shaelyn: But what am I doing next week since I'm not going to daycare?
Me: I can't go to work next so you kids are staying with me.
Shaelyn: awwww then I miss skating and swimming with daycare.
Me: don't worry, we can go swimming
Shaelyn: but what about skating?
Me: we'll see, I don't know exactly what we'll do, maybe we'll go to Prince George.

So, Shaelyn has successfully been diverted, and I didn't actually lie to her

Well done!!!

What type of battery does it take??

Sanyo DB-L20. I already ordered one through Amazon, found one for $8 or $9, can't remember.

YEAH, RIGHT!

 

[HollyTyler]

Aww....how'd you get that cute picture of Bubba?

Hi Friends!!!

Welcome Back Marilyn!

YEAH Barb is home safe and sound and Michelle can breathe again!

Happy Birthday Month Jan!

YEAH Only 2 more days for Ken and Shannon and girls to begin their adventure!

I was MIA again due to having to take the vicodin after the last doctor visit. I'm all better now.

I have some extremely sad news this morning.....I have to cancel the second week of my B2B in September. John can't get the time off approved from work. The only way we can do it is if we fly down and get directly onboard and then fly home the minute we get off. I don't want to do that. I need time before and after cruise. So we elected to only do one week cruising.

The job scene is getting scary. John worked mandatory overtime last night and will not be getting paid for it.....no money.....he gets comp time instead. They cracked down on the vacation time off too. He had no problem getting off for the PC cruise and we did some days before at Cocoa Beach and a week after in LA and Vegas. Times have changed. Fortunately he has a union and seniority.....he just passed his 17 year anniversary of working there. They would have to lay off a lot of other people before they could lay him off.

We're all feeling the crunch of this economy. I'm so sorry that we won't be doing the B2B this time. Now I have to go and change my car rental and hotel reservations.....fortunately I didn't buy plane tickets yet. We're flying down and back this time. It's only $180 per person round trip and we can go out of our local airport in Allentown right into Sanford/Orlando. We prefer smaller airports if we're going to fly.

Deb, I'm sorry you have to cancel your cruise. I know how sad you must be. But I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! And maybe the next cruise you book will have MORE of this group onboard!

Thanks Holly.....well I'm still doing the Tortola cruise in Sept and there's lots of people from here on that one. I just wanted to see what it was like to not have to get off the boat. I was really looking forward to that. Oh well. At least I get to go on the Tortola cruise.

Hey, I can't wait to see the pictures of you and Tyler at the dance!!! So glad you had a good time.

I think you have got it completely correct Ian.

Sorry you won't be spending the changeover day onboard with us Deb. We might not be able to do thi second cruise either if the exchange rate doesn't improve, but we have airfares paid, so we would still have to get accommodation in Otlando or somewhere else.

Yes, I think the downturn in the economy is beginning to bite more and more. I'm sorry about John's work rules etc, but at least he has the job and as you say not likely to be laid off anytime soon.

Holly, great photo.

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly, great photo.

Thanks Marilyn. I'm having a hard time with it because it's shocking for me to see the changes since I regained all the weight, but I suppose it's a good motivator. AND....handsome Tyler makes the picture look better.

Hi Marilyn, so great to chat with you again here.....I really missed you while you were away. Yes, the economy is definitely affecting my Mickey time and I'm not happy about it.

Fortunately John does still have his job. It could be much worse....no Mickey time at all.

Since you already have your flights booked, it would be best if you could just stay onboard. Hopefully the exchange rate will improve by then.

I just cancelled and rebooked the hotels and car rental....the hotel prices are the same but the car rental went way up. Oh well. I'll keep checking back to see if the price drops as the time gets closer. In the meantime, I booked at the higher rate.

I would think that all the rates would go lower in this economic climate. Guess not.



Holly....I LOVED the picture too. Thanks for sharing.

Well fortunately you didn't gain it all back yet and you'll be losing it soon with all the exercising that you're doing with the tapes. Keep it going. It'll come off soon.

Yes, I do agree that Tyler looks so handsome.

Ouch so sorry to hear about that Deb! I know how much I hate cancelling vacations because I get so prepped for them. But in today's world we all must do what we must.

I know as a manager the person who approves vacation time I absolutely hate saying no to any request, and even worse when I have had to cancel someone's vacation time due to events occurring within the business (yes I have had to do that on occassion). It is a difficult thing for all involved.

But we will get out of this and back to "normal" - whatever that is.. ;
