We'll have to do a rum or vodka watermelon. We did a rum one last camping trip (first time for us) and was it ever yummy

That sounds really good. I really have to go. I have an early morning!

 

[gaylean93]

Good night Gaylean Thanks for the laughs

thanks. I hope you sleep well!

 

[LuvBaloo]

Well I feel really bad but I really stayed longer than I should. I'm off to be SUPER mom. See you tomorrow. I hope you can sleep in

You are always SUPER mom

That's my last sweet statement for tonight! Say hi to Jon. (actually say "chicken bone")

I do hope so and I hope they have a lovely weather at Panama Canal on Monday. Ian think it might not.

I said let wait and see. Keep my finger cross, hope they get a lovely day on Monday.

John had Accuweather on his IPhone before and after our day through the PC, and the weather was awful apart from our day and the day either side. We were so blessed.

An act of futility.

Here is a more formal definition from Wikipedia:

Tilting at windmills is an English idiom which means attacking imaginary enemies, or fighting otherwise-unwinable battles. The word “tilt,” here, comes from jousting.

This idiomatic phrase originated in the novel Don Quixote, and is often used today in reference to persistent engagement in a futile activity. At one point in the novel, Don Quixote fights windmills that he imagines to be giants. Quixote sees the windmill blades as the giant's arms, for instance. Here is the relevant portion of the novel:

Just then they came in sight of thirty or forty windmills that rise from that plain. And no sooner did Don Quixote see them that he said to his squire, "Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we ourselves could have wished. Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them. With their spoils we shall begin to be rich for this is a righteous war and the removal of so foul a brood from off the face of the earth is a service God will bless."

"What giants?" asked Sancho Panza.

"Those you see over there," replied his master, "with their long arms. Some of them have arms well nigh two leagues in length."

"Take care, sir," cried Sancho. "Those over there are not giants but windmills. Those things that seem to be their arms are sails which, when they are whirled around by the wind, turn the millstone."

Well, thank YOU sir.

I'm hoping for good weather for them too. It was such an amazing experience. I was basically walking from front to back, from side to side, from the upper decks to deck 4 and back, all day, watching the view from as many angles as possible! My legs and feet were tired by the end of the day from all my standing and walking, but it was wonderful! And that was the only day Tyler managed to stay in the kids' club all day without getting into trouble, so it worked out very well!

I want to do it again, but can't imagine a better day weatherwise.

I take off for a few hours and you guys add 5 pages...

Oh... and I lost .20 cents at the races today... that's right... .20 cents...

Mom lost .40

Hey, you won't be able to afford all your vacations if you go on at that rate!!

That's the problem. I need to get it out of my system now while I can drink more than one beer without getting a hang over. I would have been hung over every day on the cruise!

I thought you were!

Marilyn's going to LOVE skimming through our drunken jibber jabber when she gets here in a couple hours!

I'm skimming, but noticed my name!!! I need to get moving this morning and I can't do anything till I have caught up on this thread!

Either she'll skip it.. or have a great desire to go grab a beer..

Well, no desire to grab a beer. Tranquillisers maybe!!

My favorite song is by Dido

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last
and I'm soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

not sure if i hear it or not

I just added to my myspace if you guys want to hear it

Good morning everybody! (Good afternoon Marilyn & Deborah!)

Gee, I go to bed and the party only lasted less than 2 more pages.

Hopefully Shannon is still sleeping and Gaylean is frantically trying to finish up everything for Brooke's party. What's everybody else up to today (BESIDES watching olympics).

 

[HollyTyler]

At some point last night, we talked about toddler beds and I went to photobucket to grab a picture of Tyler when he was 2 dressed as a firefighter with his firetruck bed, but the photobucket page never loaded! I had it in a separate window trying to open and just left it there, this morning it's still trying to open! Has anybody else had trouble with photobucket or is it just my goofy computer acting crazy again?

 

[HollyTyler]

PHEW!!!



Good morning Holly.

Sorry Marilyn, we were just having a great little time entertaining each other!

 

[HollyTyler]

Sorry Deborah! We would have loved for you to join us too, but you were sound asleep! That darned time zone difference stinks.

 

[HollyTyler]

That sounds really good. I really have to go. I have an early morning!

Gaylean, I hope you manage to get everything ready for the party. Good luck!

 

[iankh]

that's a fantastic mental shortcut - I can't do the whole 5/9th thing in my head. Here all the weather forecasts are in Celsium so when we go south all I know if 90 is fairly warm and 100 is sweltering

OK, I'm going to do the Ian method of temperature conversion, but this time ... backwards .... 90F ... you subtract 30, so you then have 60, now divide in half, and you have 30C, using the difficult equation it is really 32C, but again, I think you have a number that's close enough to know how to dress.

 

[iankh]

just do the opposite - Take F -30 divided by 2 (I'm a geek at heart)

I see you beat me to it . I ended up going to bed.

 

[LisaG520]

Night Lisa... hey... is it strange to be signing off so early and leaving Gaylean to have all the fun??

It was!!

I like that song! But I love her version of it with Eminem (Stan)

Jon took ours and our desk chair broke so I'm sitting in a dinette chair and it's not comfy but I'll do it for you guys!

We're currently using a dinette chair at our computer too. Our desk chair broke just before the move so we didn't want to replace it until after (good thing or they would have just broke the new one too!).

 

[HollyTyler]

I see you beat me to it . I ended up going to bed.

And we were sad to see you go!

 

[HollyTyler]

It was!!

I don't even have a desk because my house is too small. Well, actually, if I can find somewhere to put the stuff in my bedroom, I could find a corner for a desk. In the meantime, my computer is sitting on my microwave cart in the kitchen and I pull a kitchen chair over to sit. Works for now!

I woke up at 7am with this crazy urge to clean! I was about to clean my bathroom and throw the rug from there in the wash, but I've been cleaning for almost 2 hours and am ready for a break. Actually, I'm going to eat and head back to bed!
