Speaking of in-laws, mine live about 2 and a half hours away, but this morning we got a phone call saying they were half way down, granny is not doing well, so they were coming for a quick visit, Aaarrggghhhhhh. Only had to see them for a few hours, that was long enough.
I adore my FIL, but MIL is very high maintenance! She drives me crazy, DH says I try too hard with her and I need to relax, that I will never get her approval, but I just keep on trying, and keep driving myself mad with frustration.
Oh well, at least they didn't stay down this time.
...
Slip on shoes are great too, If the bathroom floor is REALLY gross, slip your shoes on to avoid wet seepage, Ew! Still take socks though as your tootsies get really cold.
Also Sue, Qantas supplies a small pillow and a blanket, but if Delta don't I would recommend taking a small blankie for Becca, I find it comforts the girls and helps them sleep. It does get pretty cool up there!
OK, so I have held off on the inlaw chat as DH (Buckeye Goofy) tends to point out where I am wrong, but what does this tell you...
The Grandkids all refer to DH's parents as Grandmom and Granddad CRAZY
Their house is referred to as "Happy Farms"
and they are lovingly referred to "THE Crazies" by their children
I think my mom is fairly well grounded, but the situation is weird now that she took her fall. But, I think that Glenn called her Joan or Mom and not Crazy...
Yes it was on Man vs Food.That is where i heard about it.
Yes they are french fries. This sandwich was about 9 in long and it only cost $5.75 Also if you can eat 5 in 45 mi. you get a sandwich name after you. I was full after 1.
Oh my... I can't imagine eating something like that!!! I am stuffed just looking at it!!
This reminds me of the time we were in Florida and we went to a place called Cheeburger Cheeburger. Tony decided in his wisdom to try and eat the 1lb burger ... he managed to eat it, plus fries, and got his photo taken and put up on their wall of fame. He couldn't eat another thing for the rest of the day ( very unusual ) and didn't go to the loo for days
and we have photos :
I have been to a cheeburger cheeburger!! They had/have one near where our business used to be. We ate there once, it was good, but not great... But, Sarah - the photos are great!! i can't even imagine eating a 1lb burger!!
Okay, it's early morning here and my mind is not completely awake so I really shouldn't post, but I'm so confused...'
All this talk about the airplane bathrooms, loos or johns.. the place where the toliet is... and the filthy floors.. and the socks I'm confused.
I've never flown overseas. Are you required to fly shoeless??? I don't walk barefoot in my own home. Why would I have to put on socks to go to the bathroom and let them pick up the nastiness?
Where are my shoes?????
What has the airline done with my shoes??? Why do I need socks for my freezing feet? Where are my shoes??? I'm freaking out here.
Oh my!! Thanks for the chuckle, but you can stop now as it still hurts!
In all seriousness, you have to wear shoes to fly, but I like to take mine off. My feet tend to swell and they do better without shoes... I learned this flying to CA for a business trip... Needless to say on the home bound flight I was in socks.
For the record, we got nothing flying across the country - well, we got the complementry pillow and blanket but that was it...
I am so NOT a morning person - even on the cruise - so if we do this maybe we can just do this the same night we stay up and do laundry - then I can go to bed after that
Great idea!! not that I am thinking I that I *WANT* to be up doing laundry from 1 or 2am til sun up, but we will probably start "chin wagging" and it will be sun up before we know it...
I have a similar allergy to mushrooms. Took me ages to work out what I was allergic to, and only after 3 trips to the Emergency dept did I find out it was mushrooms. My tongue and throat swell up so that I have trouble breathing and I now have to carry an epipen like others have mentioned.....
OK, so I am / was allergic to mushrooms. It started with an allergy to pennicillin that was very severe. I was in the hospital overnight... Then cream of mushroom soup set it off and yep, another trip to the ER and another over night visit.
I swore off of mushrooms and the drugs...
About 8 years later I was working for Bennigans at a new store opening and someone popped a fried muchroom in my mouth and we ended up calling 911...
BUT, I seem to have grown out of it from a muchroom perspective. I can eat them now... Sauteed, fried, stuffed - all good. I haven't tried (nor has a Dr. been willing to try) PCN - too risky as my throat closed up on me...
I have just spent the last 2 days at my daughters student house where it took us all that time to clean it and clear it....7 students shared the house but there was just one other helping out...the others moved out and left all the mess for others to clear
I crammed dd's things into every nook and cranny of my little car but then Becky had to get the train home as there was no room for her!
Next week we get to do it all in reverse when she moves into her flat for the next student year.......
I am exhausted!!!!
So glad to hear that your DD is doing well! Good on ya mate (Hayley - i am learning!!!) for cramming all of her stuff in you car!!
With all the tal of socks... I can understand that, I wear sox just going to Orlando from Las Vegas
Question is.... What do you wear to fly such a long distance? I dont want to arrive in Barcelona looking like I slept in my clothes, OK... so I did.
So what's more wrinkle free, or wrinkle less???
( BTW... my pool is now"Bath water time" 98* and temp yesterday 114)
Annie
Can I come over for a soak? We are getting storms every night at right about the time I would head to the pool. Hopefully this pattern will change... Although ;ast year it didn't and I seem to pay HOA due for no reason... :: sigh ::
Hey Everybody - I have not caught up yet because I was not on the boards yesterday - we received some bad news. My husband lost his job yesterday so we are in limbo. I am still on the cruise!!!
It is just a curve in the road I know and life could be worse - a lot worse, so we are smiling and together and he is working hard. Just wanted to let you all know that is why I have been so quiet. MISS reading.
Glad you are still with us, but so sorry to hear about SH's job. Times are tough right now and I don't know of an industry that hasn't been affected. i work for a company that writes software, and we have seen rought times. But we are finally getting out of it (thankfully).
I think a lot of us will be arriving just a bit tired and disheveled, but who cares? That means our cruise is about to begin!!
As for shoes/socks on the plane, wearing socks to the bathroom is totally gross. If the socks soak up what's on the floor, then what's to stop the stuff on the floor from completely soaking the socks and then soaking into the bottom of your feet? Just the thought of that makes me
. I always wear slip on shoes which are easier for security anyway. I take them off once I am situated, but they go right back on if I'm heading to the loo (okay, I'm not from UK but how often do I get to use that word?).
Ok, so I need to get the sandles that I get with a pedicure so I can keep my soes off... Got it... I love to be barefoot! I HATE shoes...
I am starting to think about a travel outfit... I read an article about how Americans travel frumpy and not necessarlily comfortable. With that in mind I am looking for something that I can fly in, and then do the drive home in...
I used the term Loo today in a meeting... Sounded goofy, but bettery than what others were saying...
To entertain them and get them even more excited about the cruise, you should play them the following:

Phil, Emma & Ben's Med Cruise (Video Trip Report) 15/05/10 *DAY 5 ADDED*

LOL - too funny Lynne!
It's been great. I have actually been able to catch up!
Amen to that!!! One fullday at work and I am behind by 8 pages...
Have to share... Beca gets her cast off and a re x-ray tomorrow morning. She is excited, but also seems to understand that she may get another case... She is already talking about colors just in case...
We haven't heard from Stephens counselor, but we know that they have had storms daily. I hope thathtey are dry, and am patting my self on the back for packing clothing for him in a waterproof spacebag. At least I know he got to the cave with dry clothing... He told me I was being over protective, so hopefully he understands why I did what I did... I can't seem to accept that my Baby is growing up... I still have a little one, but Stephen and I have a bond that i can't explain... Hopefully when he is ready to get married I will approve...
So, 77 days until we leave!! Cant wait! I packed all of our FE gifts, candy exchange bags and CM gifts yesterday. Becca could leave tomorrow and while I would need to do laundry, she could do our time in Spain and 6 days onboard without me needing to wash... I have my evening wear packed and I got a tag on pour front door that I had a package to pick up from the post office. I think that is my formal!!! wahoo!!
Are cabins being assigned yet??? Is anyone else getting VERY excited??? Am I aslone in getting chills thinking about the trip? (Is it my fear of flying???)
General question... If you are multi posting and you have too many images, is it Ok to delete duplicates from the original post??? LOL _ i guess I should have broken this into multiple multi posts...
