Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[BelievesinFairies]

Hey everyone,

Gotta make it quick - I need some shut eye! So....I believe I am the furthest Northern cruiser and guess what I got today....OUR CRUISE DOCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was totally expecting them not to come until a day or two before. Unfortunately I decided this was a sign to get all my ship paperwork in order, adn I went to the DCL site to update my online checkin stuff and something is wrong so I can't update. I hate it when you have a plan and something gets in your way!! Oh well, more time to get online LOL.

Linda - sent you a PM.

Sounds like things are pretty good for everyone - a few minor sickies but nothing major.

I had a bit of a scare yesterday. As you might recall, DH was away for Halloween so DS and I went to a friend's place to Trick-or-Treat. Well, said friend's mom called me yesterday and advised me her son is currently covered in Chicken POx. Well, DS has not had the Pox yet and had been a bit coughing/sicky the past few days!!!!!!! I checked his body immediately and no spots (thank God!!). We have been checking a few times a day and so far we seem to be OK. I cannot imagine how SHATTERED I would have been if I could not go on this cruise becuase of silly old Chicken Pox!!!! Not to mention, DH has never had them and I really don't need him to have Shingles on top of all this. Anyway....fingers crossed everyone escapes from this brush with disaster.

I am praying you weren't exposed to Chicken Pox and that you don't see any red bumps! Dh had shingles in the beginning of the year and it wasn't fun for anyone....ick.

Hey Tigger
Sorry I took so long to re-post, I didn't realize a day and a half would include about 6 pages. My nick name came from work related positions and placed on me by one of my associates. I took a job as a construction superintendent for a large builder in Florida, my position in this company made me responsible for not only building houses but organizing and directing many sub-contractors and vendors, many of which were imcompetent. During my tenure, I revamped and rebuilt a division or large community that included hiring and firing appropriate personnel to bring building standards to a new level of quality. So, I pretty much removed the deficient and replaced them with proficient. With the sheer amount of changes I made, I was referred to "The Hammer". That was a long time ago, but I have been with the company so long now that it seems nick names seem to relate and it's actually a big joke now. A long winded explanation, but thats how it came to be. On a lighter note, great job on the posts, We are counting the days now and Kathy has let me know that we will start this cruise as early as the security will allow us. We are staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise so I will be at the terminal by 9:55 so we can enter at 10:00.
See everyone soon.

Bob, dreamboat wally may only come on the boards if you call him correctly...Shell is correct you have to use dreamboat wally!!!

There is NO way in Hades that I am referring to another man as "Dreamboat". Ain't happening. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent. Not at this juncture!

WOW! You came by THAT name justly, Mr. Hammer! I wish you'd been around when they built OUR neighborhood.

Cruise docs. One more thing to worry about. I hope to heaven they get here before we leave, next Friday. Oye. It's no wonder my hair is white.

I just woke up with the wind howling - was th is predicted? I don't hope it's windy like this when we're getting ready to FLY!

Night, All!

 

[TIGGER41681]

Good Morning All ,
Well no cruise docs for us yet maybe they will come today!! It's a cold morning here in NY. We have been having CRAZY weather. Yesterday 70's and today 50's. Today we have no exciting plans. Talk tou you all later

Sarah: Hope your DS feels better!!! Hope DH amd DS don't get the Chicken Pox!! I had then in 1st grade and it was not fun . They actually have a shot to prevent Chicken Pox. DS will get it next time.

Lynn,

Bob,
I told Greg he should of told you that he got his name because he bopped me on the head all the time to get me to behave!! Not that it does any good
He really did "Clean House" at work, way to many to count !!!!


Well all of you did great posting yesterday, I expect the same today.

Denise, I will be watching for your especially!!!!
Dream Boat Wally, I'm waiting on you too!!!!! If my DH can post, so can you!!!! We need the posts, so I am watching for you too!!!!


Well 3 of us now have our Docs, today I'll bet 4 or 5 of you get them too

DH are doing our packing "prep" this weekend. We can't actually pack until next weekend, but we can get everything ready!

Have a fabulous Friday everyone!! 2 weeks from today just about everyone will be in Florida!! (or on their way there!)

 

[cruisemutt]

Is it a bad thing to say I have doc envy?

Did anyone have to sign for them? I sure hope not....usually neither of us are home in time for the UPS fella.....

Have a good day everyone....

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Mutt,
UPS left ours on the door step and didnt even ring the door bell to let us know. so we didnt have to sign for them, but I was upset they just left them. So glad no dogs or kids ran off with them. They sat out there all night!!!

By the way, gang... I invaded the November 18th western board and told them to leave the lights on for when we get there....(fun bunch a kids, lemme tell ya--<smirk>) I'm glad I'm part of this group, even as crazy as everyone says we are. If ya get a chance, write them a lil note from the nanaheads....lol---
(oh, sweet hand of fate, why do they hate me so????)

Enjoy....

Good Morning All. No docs here either. I guess I will have to wish HARDER.
