    Unky great pictures. The dishes look quite tasty but I am sure if I heard what was in them, including the algea, I would pass. But very pretty dishes all the same.

    I wasn't sure on the spelling. Glad Smoothy confirmed it:D

    Now those pizzas look delish! Of course I am a starvin marvin right now. Nice pictures Unky.


    Oh today, this week, yesterday life is not my friend.

    And the funny thing is that those pizzas are meant for one person. They were about 10 inch in diameter and when we ordered two pizzas for 4 kids (me included), the waiter eyed us strangely. For my part, I ate a great deal on dinner for I really liked the food and was still full at midnight :o

    Oh yes I can picture them. I am sure I could eat a whole on myself. I have a healthy appetite for a girl my size.
    We checked in to a cruise for our honeymoon but never went. Just decided against it at the last minute for reasons I can't remember. Just as well the wedding tired us out so it would have been work to vacation.

    There is only one issue now... The air conditioning on board maybe had something wrong with it. One of the people we went with (friends) just got admitted to clinic today. The doctor initially said it was Legionella (or something like that) but hopefully, it wasn't it, but a pneumonia. Anyway, that does seem contagious and many more people got coughs, but not as bad as to go to the clinic. I hope things will be all right.

    If it were me, I'd blame the air conditioning and the icy cold beverages given at meals.

    I myself started taking room temperature water sometime on the 2nd week, taking tea with honey and lemon on mornings and stopped on ice creams and sorbets :(

    Well that's no way to end a perfect vacation. How are you all feeling? Fine I hope. Not good for the reputation of the cruise line though.
  • Jan 11, 2011, 09:23 AM

    That is the main 'bugger' of the trip. I'm fine for the time being, no coughing but only a tiny nearly unnoticeable sore throat and some phlegm in the morning. I'm eating fruits as much as I can, nothing cold. My mom will take some sample from our throats for testing sometime in the week, and we'll take medicine if necessary.

    Well good luck with that. Seems as though if it were serious you would feel something by now. But I am no doctor that's for sure. Just saying.

    My husband just had over 10 days off work doctors orders. He had bronchitis and it wasn't good. It was getting worse before it was getting better. He went back to work last night and came home fine. So he must be good to go. It was iffy since they still allow smoking in his job.

    Ouch, I don't like cigarette smoke or cigar smoke at all! I was glad that smoking was not allowed in the cards room.

    Good luck for your hubby too! I may be a little paranoid about this disease as I just learned about this friend in clinic. It could very well only be a cold, well, I do hope so :o

    Well normally smoking is no longer allowed here in any public buildings and sometimes not even on the premis at all. But he works in a casino on an indian reservation. They live by there own rules. So smoking is allowed every where still. I hate it. He comes home and has to hang his suit in the entry way just to air it out for a bit. We don't smoke so we notice it more.

    Nothing makes me want a cigarette.

    But then I've never been a smoker.

    I have smoked a ciggy or two. A Swisher or two. Only around the camp fire in a drunken haze though. I always regretted it the next morning. Not any more. I have grown up or smartened up. Not sure which.

    I saw THE WALL at the theater when it came out... still remember what theater too. Liked it then, still like it now. Forget how many times I've watched it over the years.

    Smoothy, YOU liked The Wall?? Did not picture you as a Pink Floyd fan. Good to know! My father is a HUGE fan, therefor I am too. My all time fav is "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds". My dad used to sing that to me all the time when I was little. Now he sings it to my daughter. E get's a real kick out of it. She told the lady at the market the other day that her name was Lucy. My dad said I used to do the same thing.

    I'm confused? Is that Pink Floyd? Why was I thinking it was Beatles? I really need to bone up on my music:o

    Alty

    Hi everyone.

    I'm just stopping in for a beating.

    I went the whole day running around like mad, getting my stuff done, excited about painting and putting new flooring in my bedroom. Then at dinner we were all talking about doing something special this weekend. I suggested skating. Sydney has never been. Jared has been 3 times, the first was when he was 2 years old. It was on New Years eve. So we started talking about that, because it's been over 10 years since he first went skating.

    He asked me how I remembered he was 2. I said "Because we went skating that year to get our minds off things. Your Opa was in the hospital, and I needed to do something different so we could forget for a while". That's when I looked at the calendar, and damnit, I went the whole day without realizing the date. January 12, the day my dad died 10 years ago.

    Just need to say it out loud.

    RIP Vati.

    But Alty he was with you hon. Read what you wrote and look at it close. You said you had not skated in years and suddenly that pops in your head to do. On that day. To me he was there by your side. You felt it and just didn't know it. Hugs your way. You go skating with those kids of yours and you hug them tight. Just like your dad would have done.
