Hi Marylou & Martha For some reason I have brain freeze - and can't remember how to sign up for the M&M I told elaine I would do it for her - I did the set sail pass for both of us but can't find the M&M. My other question is - do we have 2 or 3 formal nights - I always though 11 nighters were 2 but Elaine said she thought it was 3. I missed Nicks soccer game today I went to Charlie Browns for lunch. That was more fun better than freezing out there.- I guess Colin feels better. Lisa is off again she is going to the movies with her b/f hope they enjoy it. I will check back later Peggy

Hi Marylou & Martha I typed a whole post and was in the middle of dying my hair and the timer went off and I hit the wrong button and lost the post grrrrr. I wanted to ask the both of you if you know if the Jewel has a Murder Mystery dinner show? Marylou - I hope Colin will feel better by the time you get there - don't hug him too much we don't want you to get sick. Monday is the only day I can go to Ct. Lisa is working a double on Tues and on Wed. I have to work with my son. I hope that Monday will work out. Elaine will not eat at the specialty rest. I pretty much know that for sure. But I still want too so I am going to try and work that out. Martha - You must be so tired from working but you will have a lot of extra money to spend on the cruise. That was so cute about your granddaughter - kids are so adorable sometimes. I don't know if this helps but when I drove to Fort Lauderdale a few years ago we had to pay for parking at the pier. Peggy

Hi relinquish the lists LOL LOL I saw that too I thought it was pretty funny - I am suprised they are going to relinquish anything. And why would we want to e-mail them ?????? LOL Peggy Oh BTW - we kept MTD and early seating was full - I was happy about that

Hi Marylou & Martha You guys are quiet today - Marylou is busy and Martha is working I guess. I talked to elaine today and she said she got the time off from work and now all she has to do is figure something out tonight and then she will let me know for sure. I figure she is coming - now I have to figure something out a way to sleep LOL I talked to the TA"s wife today and she said the Bose headset does not drown out snoring - she has tried it. I am happy she is coming though - and we will have MTD and early seating is full - so I am happy about that. Marylou - let me know about Ct. maybe we can meet for lunch. Peggy

Hey I got 140.00 off - the TA called me back - and if I move up a deck I can get another 100 off but right now all they have a cabins in the front and I like to be mid ship. so we will see

Hi Martha & Marylou I just checked the RCCL web site and see that they lowered the prices on inside and OV so I called the TA and hoefully they will get back to me ASAP - also I called Elaine to tell her about the price reduction but she still will not give me an answer - told her too that the price of the train went up 50.00 pp. Martha - I hope you feel better soon - The train is fun for about the 1st 2 hrs than after that it is pretty gross especialy the bathrooms, and by the next day - whew you need a clothspin for your nose LOL LOL Marylou - I guess your glad that the blood test is over - and really glad to have your tea I was just thinking about making myself one right now - I worked with my son this morning so I am a little tired. Peggy

Hi Marylou - Let me know - Lisa said if you have lunch at Danbury Mall and Nick is in school she would drive up there with me - but we will she what happens I will still be taking the train down - although Elaine may fly - I am not sure - she still has not given me an answer - the train is pretty full on the way back so she better make up her mind if she is going. Have fun doding your errands. Martha - What a mess with the truck - sometimes I am gald that right now I don't have a car LOL but of course I really need one - Hope your not working too hard today. Nothing much going on around here I get to relax most of the day today and then Nick will be home from school and that will be the end of that. Peggy

Good Morning Marylou - I remember seeing that Brenda & Don were coming to meet you I would love to see them but I will be in Fl. on the 7th however I will be in Fort Lauderdale I am staying overnight with the people from my Brillance 2004 cruise - otherwise I would come to Miami Maybe, I could meet you on the way home in Newburgh since you go over the bridge to the Thruway that is only about 20 mins from me and Lisa would let me take her car if she was not working or I could drive her to work and go that way we could at least have coffee and maybe lunch if it works out. Oh and now Elaine, if she comes, wants me to change to early seating she likes having the same waiter every night and she won't upgrade to OV - I am hoping for an OV sale or something LOL but whatever happens, happens I still would like to eat in the specialty restaurant with you and Jim if that's okay and I am still going to try and talk her into MYTime. Martha - You poor thing - your working too hard - sometimes when I am overtired I can't sleep - I hope you get to see Lee soon LOL LOL. A lot of dribble is going on over at the other boards but they seem to be handling it well - and besides what else are you supposed to talk about it is nice to find out some things about the people you will be cruising with, especially the Dodger fans LOL LOL. Hope you get to see Lee before Nov. 1st Peggy

Hi Marylou & Martha LOL LOL you guys are funny - I wish I was counting my money but it was not all that busy yesterday and we only made $100.00 and Nicholas made 1/2 of that because he sold more stuff than anyone - but last night we packed everything up and are donating it to the Salvation Army - I am not bringing it back in the house. Today, I drove Lisa to work and then Elaine came over and we did some shopping and then had to pick Lisa up at work and we stopped and shopped on the way home a little more I got a nice pair of Ked's like a slip on sneaker for only 12.00 at least they will be clean and new. Marylou - I have not checked the other site yet to see the pictures but I will after I post this - like Martha says you must be proud of your daughter - I guess big mouths pay off LOL LOL - my daughter she has a big mouth. Oh and btw I meant to tell Danbury is 1 hr. from me straight up 84 is that the way you go>???? I think I told you but maybe not right now I have no car - my son had 3 cars and I was driving one of them (I sold my car) but not he sold all of them and bought a new one. He is looking for a second car and will give that to me but he has not found one yet - it is a long story I will tell you on a nice sea day LOL. Martha - I hope you feel all better today sorry you were sick - I posted on the other board - and said that I think Elaine is coming with me on this cruise she will let me know in a few days - I hope she does come - we always seem to get along on cruises I am still tired from Sat. last night I slept 10 hrs but still exhausted - too much work and not enough money. Talk to you tomorrow. Peggy

Hi Marylou & Martha Can't you just rent a tux for TJ they have them for ring bearers so it should not be a problem and as far as Ash - I think you will be stuck buying a dress. Poor Marylou - you must be exhausted - you are always running around and you will need this vacation. Martha - You and Marylou will be proud of me I posted a lot of dribble on the other board about Brookyln - How come you have not posted over there you can't leave me alone with them LOL Tomorrow is my garage sale - hope I make some money to help pay for the cruise - still waiting for a single supplement - I wonder if it will ever come I will check back later Peggy

Hi Marylou & Martha Marylou - Sorry you are not sleeping well, I guess you do have a lot on your mind. Sometimes you do have a hard time sleeping at least I do - I kind of do what you do fall asleep quickly and then wake up. Years ago it took me at least 2 hrs to get to sleep. Maybe it is time to get something stronger so at least a couple of nights you can have a good sleep. I just took almost everything out of my closet and either took it to consignment or will sell it Sat. at the garage sale. Martha, I feel fine today had a good nights sleep and today I am finishing my garage sale stuff. My daughter works tonight so I will be watching Nick - right now his friend is here and are they noisey or else maybe I am getting or am old LOL LOL I will check in later Peggy

Hi Marylou & Martha Martha - At least someone misses me LOL LOL LOL It was just a really busy day today - I went with my son early early this morning to drop his car at the dealers and then on to his "JOB" well sort of job and my sort of job - we got home around noon and met Lisa for lunch - then the fun really began - Nick had religious instructions today so we picked him up and took him and while he was there we did food shopping. I could go on but it's really boring Anyway I am just sitting down now and reading the posts. Martha, you are working too hard - giving out those shots (ouch) Marylou - It should not be all that cold in Dec. I would think that it should warm up by the time you get past Virginia. Althought I remember in 1989 when I lived in Fl. we had the heat on and it snowed in Jacksonville , but that was unusual. Can't believe we only have 2 more months to go - I am starting to get excited and really looking forward to Costa Rica. I will talk to you both tomorrow I am going to sleep. Peggy

Hi Martha - Congrats on your additional discount - I keep wishing the Jewel would give us some more money off - I never get a flu shot I was thinking about one this year but I am not getting one - It was chilly here this morning 36 I can't believe it is this cold aready. My friend Bob is still in NC and he leaves tomorrow he does not want to come home. Marylou - Everything Okay with you today - you are usually chatty Hope you come back on later. I will check back Peggy

Marylou - I am so sorry to hear about TJ - hopefully the meds that he may need to use will help him with no side effects - I saw on the Daily Dock that some people were saying it was better news than the other diagnosis (well kind of saying) - I am glad that you have a name for the problem but I feel so bad for him. Hopefully Ash does not come down with it I will say a prayer for both of them. Peggy

Hi Martha & Marylou - I am so tired from yesterday we had a great time but a lot of walking. Elaine came about 4:30 and we had a really nice talk we didn't talk much about what happened but I figure leave it in the past and move on - She talked a little about going on the cruise with me said it would be a slim possibility so I am not counting on it. I know she wants to do Panama as much as I do - but if its fun I will do it again. Martha - Sounds like you are working much too hard and will really need this cruises. Marylou - I am glad you had a nice day yesterday - not sure where Camelback is but I have heard of it - Hope Ash does well at here new school. Peggy

Hi It turned out to be another beauitufl day here so we went to the Apple Festival in Warwick NY - OMG was it crowded - they say about 30,000 people come for i - they come from NJ, Pa. and NYC - too crowded to walk almost but I saw ELVIS LOL. My visit with Elaine has not happend yet I am waiting for her to call me I told her I would be home around 4PM and it is 4:20 now. Martha - Don't work too hard today try and take a break & no luck yet with the tickets Marylou - Sorry it rained in Pa. this morning hope the afternoon was better. Peggy

Hi Martha - Don't work too hard Hope you have more time to post tomorrow. Marylou - Bob is always the same lets face it he likes to drink LOL and pick up women - since we are not involved I don't usually care but I did think that, that day he did show a lack of respect for me and my friends. He knows I will never take him with me again. I usually just go to the Casino with him and when we get there we part ways and meet up for dinner and then the ride home LOL. WWE - is World Wrestleing - and there is a Smackdown at the Izod Center with the Undertaken WOO WOO if you don't follow it you won't know who he is but my grandson loves this stuff. We tried this morning for over 2 hrs. to get tics we can get them but they are soooooo far away. Went to the soccer today for Nick it was a beautiful day and it warmed up nicely. Nothing else exciting to report LOL so I will be back tomorrow. Peggy

Hi - I forgot to ask before does anyone have any connections to get WWE tickets my grandson wants to go for his BDAY in Dec. - It is iat the Izod center in Rutherford NJ - tics go on sale tomorrow but they had an internet sale that started on Wed. I didn't know about it - now some of the tics are going for 900.00 on the floor.

Good Morning Marylou & Martha It is really cold here I am freezing so I gave in and just turned the heat on - I only plan on leaving it on a couple of hours but need to get the chill out of the house. I talked to Elaine last night and we seem to have resolved our differences - we talked for about 2 hours and she said she will come by on Sunday afternoon around 4PM - I told I was happy to talk to her and I really did miss her - it is not as easy to make friends anymore (aside from you 2 ) but I don't want to lose any friends at this time in my life. I think I am lucky I have about 5 different friends that I talk to everyday. Oh and Marylou I still talk to Bob every day I know how much you all loved him LOL He is in NC right now on vacation and calls me all the time - he moved to Fl. for a while with a woman he met on the internet but that ended and now his is back in NY. He said he had a date in Pa. on the way home from NC. LOL hope that works out for him. I will tell you more on board. you too Martha LOL. Oh and you right sometimes people are different in person at least lets hope so. I will check back - stay warm Peggy

Hi Marylou - I am calling Elaine tonight so I will let you know how things work out. The new man seems nice I don't know him very well - he took over a job for someone that Rich & I know - he is a site manager/construction boss - I think he is 60 or so - he has worked for the company for a long time and took over this job last minute as the guy who was running it moved it NC. (Martha) not sure where though. So we will see what happens with that. How did TJ make out today at the Docs?? Hope everything is okay. The tour that Dennis mentioned in Panama doesn't sound too bad - maybe I will go on that one - I really want to get off the ship there - since I am not getting off in Grand Cayman. Peggy

Hi Martha & Marylou It is freezing here today LOL or I think it is - I think it was 49 or something last night. Marylou - Your having a busy morning - I will be having a busy night - Lisa is working and won't be home till 9PM - so I will be doing the homework and shower not that I have to help him shower he is 10 now but I have to yell for at least 20 mins to get him to do it. 5 more mins that's what he says over and over LOL Hey, guess what, I got an email from Elaine about a RCCL trip to Alaska - so I wrote back and said hope she didn't mean to send it to me by accident and it meant that she wanted to talk - 17 years is a long time. Anyway she wrote back - call me tonight - so wish me luck hope we can resolve everything - I do miss her and we had a lot of fun cruising together. Martha - Where are you hiding today - I thought you had the day off - Oh I meant to tell you both that I met a nice man who likes cruising - maybe someday we can go on a cruise together - I would have to know him really well and make sure he didn't snore LOL LOL. so we will see what happens. I will come back to see who posted. Peggy

Hi Marylou & Martha - Sorry I am so late getting here but I went to work with my son today for our weekly job LOL - I didn't get home till 3PM and I am cooking dinner tonight for my son and his g/f, Bridget, Linda and of course us Lisa ,Nick & me. Everyone happens at once busy day and busy night LOL. Thank you both so much you really do make me feel better by telling me not to worry - sorry I am such a pain and I really know I will be fine It takes me about 3 days to drive to Fl. too I remember when we did it in 1day, driving straight thru but that was over 10 yrs ago - I can't drive like that any more and I can't drive at night at all. We took out some Halloween decorations when I got home I didn't realize we had so much - I really love Halloween - it is a fun holiday when your on a cruise ship - 2 yrs ago I was a cereal killer - I glued boxes of cereal on a T-shirt with knives and fake blood - I had a lot of fun the contest was great lots of original costumes. Marylou - IT was great to talk to you too - thanks for listening. Peggy

Good Morning Martha & Marlou Marylou - I am going to check the RCCL site after I post here - I was very disappointed that Linda is def. not coming - I will be celebrating my BDAY on the cruise well actually my Bday is Dec. 6th I will be 49 LOL I wish. BTW I don't know how to get over to the Daily Dock - I guess I will have to play around with the site and figure it out. Martha - I think I have asked all of my friends by now and no one really wants to go most of them do not like cruising but it's okay I am going to have a great time anyway - Have a great day at work and don't work too hard. Peggy

Good Morning Marylou & Martha Marylou - I made my final payment last week and I got the final bill from the TA YIKES I think I should probably look for a cabin down with the crew LOL if it is cheaper. I spoke to my friend Linda on Sat. and she told me that she is not going with me for sure her son is in a show up in Boston that weekend and she has to go there - I will be going to Boston with her in Nov. for another show he will be in. He goes to Boston University and he is studying acting and singing - he has a wonderful voice and is very talented. This year he will be performing in London too. Expensive day yesterday - poor you & Jim - kids oost a lot money. Martha - I see you caved in a gave Don Pedro a pat on the back - saying he was in charge of the master list LOL I laughed when I saw that. We have to think of something we can do without them. Good luck with your contacts today - hope the Dr. says they are fine. I am home by myself today Nick in school and Lisa went to lunch with the B/F - tonight is his step daughters Bday - so we will all be going out to eat - whoopie (not) I will check back later. Peggy

Hi Marthlou & Martha - You guys have certainly been busy chatting away LOL I love the idea of the 3 musketeers makes me feel wanted I would love to eat at one of the specialty restaurants or both - the thing that bothers me most about going on this cruise is eating alone I hate to eat alone so if I am invited I am coming LOL Marylou - we all ate together on Voyager - I remember it was the Captains BDay and he sent me yellow roses - do you remember that. Today I am watching Nick my daughter has to work until 8PM tonight (yuck) so I have to cook dinner - I hate to cook. Yesterday we had soccer and went out to lunch and then I went with my friend Linda up to the Casino - what a mess that was not only did we lose we almost couldn't get home it was so misty and foggy especially up by the lakes and going over the mountains but we made it. Marylou - you are so talented making door signs - are you really going to make one for "THEM" Hope you have a great time today and don't spend a lot of money. Martha - Where in the world do you find room in your luggage for Xmas decorations - I can barely lift my suitcases when I leave as it is LOL - although this time I promised myself to pack light since I will be traveling by myself I may have to carry my own suitcases. I will be around all day so I will check later. Peggy
