turtle farm, is a must

Great minds and all that, ya know.

A turtle farm is mentioned in the 2.5 hr Island Tour. On the(different) Island Tour and Butterfly Farm a turtle reserve is mentioned. Do you think these are the same place?

YES, I did an island tour when I went to Grand Cayman and they stopped at the turtle farm. It would be the same one.

I would think they're different.

Turtles have been rarely known to fly, and to my knowledge do not come out of cocoons. I also don't think there are many species of amphibious butterflies.

Oh, you're on top form today.

Oh, you're on top form today.

Just a little punch drunk from staying up too late last night making reservations for September and getting up early and working this morning.

The meetings are actually fairly draining because I'm on my feet for 4.5 hours (I did 5,908 steps just being in the meeting room) and having to maintain such high-energy that whole time.

I don't notice it while I'm there, but when I come home, I sort of go through an energy crash.

 

[iankh]

On the plus side, I lost some more weight and picked up some more cocktail money.

 

[Tink rules]

Don't speak to me. You've forgotten and deserted me.

He's gone to the sweet side... sorry baby cakes...

Have a great day Michelle, it's beautiful and sunny here today...and I have to spend it inside all day

Here too!!! I have to go and replant all the impatients that died in the front planter... oh well...

Well done.

I stayed up late last night too, even though I didn't have any reservations to make.

Then I waited up for a teenager to come home who never did. We discussed it today and it won't happen again. TEENS! How fun. And I don't even have any kids.

Double Cheers for you.....Bravo.....and Great Job!!!

Did he call???

If my nephew did that he'd be dead... no discussion... but they already know that about me...

Exactly....he was warned that if he does it again, he's on a plane the same night going home.

John talked to him at 11pm. He said he didn't need a ride home, his friend would drive him. The next time he called was 10:30am. Something about a flat tire and a bad donut so he slept at his friend's house. It was 1am so he didn't want to call and wake us. He didn't know that I was awake until 8:30am waiting for him to get home.

He apologized, was humble, no attitude, promised to get it right next time. I told him to go out with his friends and have fun.....BUT call me everystep along the way....I want to know where you are, who your with and when you'll be back home. If anything changes, I want to know immediately. I think he gets it now.

He's often home alone a lot and left on his own. Sandi and Joe go hang out with their friends and will sleep over. Kris can do whatever he wants with no one to answer to. As long as he doesn't ask them for a ride and does his chores, they don't care. It's pittiful. He's only 16. He'll be 17 in two months.

He's the complete opposite of Tom. He really cares and is very sweet. He just needs to learn that the rules here are not like the rules at home.

I feel so bad for him and his brother. They really have gotten a bad hand delt to them with Sandi and Joe as parents. I don't know about Joe, but Sandi didn't have it any better growing up with her mother. John was not allowed to be in her life from 12 to 20 years old. Her mother took them overseas with her while she was in the Army and let them run wild in Germany while she partied. Some people just should not be parents.

 

[Tink rules]

Well, at least he sounds like he understands it a bit more than Tom did at first... it's a shame... kids need that... and they don't realize that until it's too late...

It's funny.....Kris slept all day today and he's not going out tonight.....his choice. I think he stayed up all night at his friend's house and burnt out today. It always catches up with you. I'm laughing. Want to play, gonna pay.

Tom has a big chip on his shoulder and unless someone comes along and knocks it off.....he's going to have a lot of problems in life. Kris is more humble and really tries to do the right thing. He just makes stupid mistakes sometimes.

Tom was here for 6 weeks and only two friends hung out with him one time each. That's it. Kris has been with his old friends day and night since he got here. They just don't like Tom, but they love Kris. It's hard to believe they're brothers.

I didn't think it would get to me this year, but Father's Day is really bothering me this year... funny though because I didn't celebrate it when he was still alive...

 

[Tink rules]

Deb... I broke out the bubbly... (I had to test out my bottle recorker...)

Oh yea, I fully understand. Even if you didn't see him you knew you could always just pick up the phone, send him a card or just show up. You had options. Now it's so finite and your options have all been taken away. Since you didn't see him, you have less good memories to be thankful for. It's very easy to see why it's so hard for you. No matter what, he was your Dad.

How about going to your favorite spot on the lake and do a personal memorial tribute to him.....a favorite story or memory, a poem and bring a picture. Express everything you're feeling and bring tissues. It will help. Share it with a few close friends if you want or just call someone and talk to them about your Dad.....maybe a niece or nephew. You will feel better. Plan it and do it next Sunday. Hugs sweetie, I really can relate.

YEAH.....P-A-R-T-Y!!!! Cheers to G on Tuesday, don't forget. I'm still on antibiotics for the cellulitis. I'll have just a little bit.
