WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 15

[HollyTyler]

No time to read and catch up, just dropping in to share some info, I'm sure you all probably saw prices for the Dream, but here's info from a TA:

deleted.....sorry, format is all messed up and makes it unable to be read. Will post after work when have time, it's prices for 2-5 people all the way through Nov 2011 on the Dream.

 

[iankh]

I'm running off to the doctor with Ray soon. I'll be sending his daughter an email later....just so I have proof that I informed her....better than a phone call.

I expect her husband to start trouble when Ray is gone. He has a small insurance policy that me and my bro are beneficiaries on. My brother has promised to hand his portion of the check over to me since I have been paying for Ray and no one else. I know that Karen's husband is going to challenge us so that he can get the money instead of me and my bro. He has started in with us before when Ray first fell down the stairs. He likes to throw his weight around because he thinks that he's important. That's why we don't talk to them anymore. I've got to cover my butt. I'm sure that I will be challenged later. After everything that I have done for Ray they should be thanking me instead of challenging me. But when there's money involved....even a small amount....people can get ugly....well, some people. Better that I send an email instead of a phone call.

It has always scared me how people get over money. That's why I jumped through all sort of legal hoops to make sure that Sukie is protected if anything happens to me. Our gray marriage status doesn't protect him. It's sad, but it's my own sister that I'm protecting Sukie from.

 

[iankh]

I'm gulping down my soup.

I am so stressed today. Meetings with 2 directors from NY where I was in the hot seat for 2 hours.

I also have a project that I told them is going into pilot in 9 days, because that's the plan however I also know that it's going rapidly down the toilet and won't happen unless there's a miracle.

I'm so stressed that I have a headache and my neck is so stiff that I feel like my head is going to snap off.

 

[LuvBaloo]

Hi everybody! I got to sleep in 10 minutes today because I had a dentist appointment first thing this morning, and the dentist office is closer to home than work is. It was a relaxing start to the day. The hygenist enjoys Disney, so she always asks about the next trip I'm planning, and its lovely to start the day thinking about future vacation.


Michelle - hope you get some sleep tonight!

Deb - send the email, so that you have peace that you gave Ray's daughter the information. You can't control what that twit does, but you'll know you made her fully aware. When my grandmother was hospitalized for the final time, my mom let her younger sister tell the older sister what was going on at first. Younger one didn't want to worry the older one so downplayed how serious it was (I think there was also some denial there). Older one didn't come out, and ended up with some regrets. My mom had some regrets that she hadn't made more effort herself to tell older sis to get her butt out her. She did call her sister the last weekend to say we almost lost Nana twice over the weekend, but older sister thought she was over-reacting. Then we lost Nana on the Wed. Mom's older sister and 3 boys came out for the funeral, and I had to bite my tongue as they didn't make effort to come see her alive over the last few years, but managed to find time for the funeral. I had to learn to let go of the anger. Unfortunately, Mom's older sister ended up dying herself a few years later, so I'm glad I let go of the anger long before she passed away, and took the effort to see her while she was alive. Sorry, got a little long-winded there.

better get back to work.

[HollyTyler]

I'm seriously considering the Thanksgiving 2011 cruise on the Dream.

 

[granmaz]

Useful info Holly.

I believe so What are you planning now???

Nothing really. We booked 2 dummy bookings. One has been used for the PC so we have another to play with. I forgot how much discount there was. Of course I have been looking for the week of Feb 20th, but not seriously as we are going to wait and see what comes up.

 

[nskjerven]

got a nibble on my resume. I had an email reply with a list of bean counter questions. I feel kinda silly answering some basic questions at this point in my life (and with my resume, since it's pretty beefy) but I did answer and now I hope I did scare off the job. It's a low end job, but cash coming in is the desire now and low/no stress for me.

fingers crossed...

Ian tell 'em to bite me (well you anyways)

 

[granmaz]

Ooh Nan, what job is this? Sounding positive so far.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Ok, here's what I just sent to Ray's daughter:


Hi Karen,

Dad is fine, don't panic. I just took him for a physical today. His blood pressure is good and he's very healthy physically. He has some arthritis and some problems with weak throat muscles when he swallows. They have him on a soft diet with thickened liquids. They monitor his eating and make him slow down and swallow with his head forward. He's doing great physically.

I'm writing because I have noticed he is declining mentally. Recently we just bought new razor heads for his razor. He said it wasn't working. We took it and looked at it for him. It just needed to be charged and cleaned. It worked fine. He has been doing this routine for the past two years and now he forgets. I took him to vote on Tuesday and usually he follows my conversations and participates....especially if I talk about mom. I told him that we're picking him up this weekend and taking him to the mausoleum....we do it once a month. He usually will talk about her or acknowledge that he's going. Nothing. I got nothing when I mentioned him going to see her.

It's not his hearing aids. He got new ones less than 2 years ago. On election day I also told him about my neighbor on the news recently. Dad connected to that and said he saw it on the news...then he repeated it the rest of the car ride back to Mrs. Bush's. That was the only thing he connected with me about the whole time we were out.

For the past 2 years he has good days and bad day, more good than not. Now I would say it has reversed. I'm writing to let you know that if you ever want to see him where he knows that it's you there, you better do it soon. If you wait any longer he may not recognize you one day. He has your picture and the kids' pictures out in his room. He has his wedding pictures in his room. That's all. I gave him pictures of Tristan and Casey and he takes them down and puts them in a drawer. He only wants your pictures out.

You might want to come and visit him some time soon. Mrs. Bush's is a very nice place and he's usually very pleasant to be with. Even their food is good. He has a nice room, probably the nicest one in the place. He has his own room with a private bathroom. He's very happy there and they take good care of him. It's nothing like it was the last time you were here. Just consider doing it for his sake. He would really love to see you all.

Best,
Deb


This is her last chance. If she doesn't come now....she won't ever see him again. So sad.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hugs Ian, thanks Holly, Fun Marilyn and GOOD PIXIE DUST LUCK Nan.

Shannon, you rock....I love that you called Karen a twit. I laughed so hard.

Hi Deborah, Hi Michelle.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Mon, any news update from Will?
