To new Pat, welcome, and don't worry, I felt like that a few times when I first posted here, but they are really the warmest group of people I have encountered in quite a long time! You will love it here!

Pat (oesnjstar) I thought I was on the board early, you are there every morning when I am having my coffee.God Bless you! And Good Morning!

Thanks Jackie!
I came to the board really excited about that particular cruise, so that's all I was looking at waiting for the answer. After a while, out of curiousity I started looking around at the other threads, and it's kind of fun to see some of the other threads. I saw several posts from the other Pat on the contest thread. She is awesome. It really looked like a lot of fun! Unfortunately, being new, I can't play. But it was really interesting to read.

I eventually found this thread and thought - "Wow, Pat is reading my mind!" It really did seem like everyone was on a cruise!!!! (Without me ) Now the funny thing is, the thread about it being slow seems to be hopping!!!!!

It's been really nice to find so many welcoming folks!

No, we don't get 4 days off. I work 24 on, 24hrs off for 7 shifts. Then I get a 3 day break. It's a 72hr work week...but yes...when we aren't on a call...we can relax. We do, however, train and do daily duties for 8 hrs during each shift. (not Sundays or holidays)

I did, however...get paid OT today.

Hi Pete!
My Brother is a firefighter in Northern CA. Such tough hours. You guys are my heros!

pat - what cruise were you looking at?

Hi Pat,

I am glad you are finding your way around more. It really is the nicest place, I just love it here! Yes, I think the other Pat is really awesome too! She cracks me up! So get posting, and get in on some of the fun! You aren't the only not cruising right now. I don't have another one until next April. So knocking about here helps pass the time! See you around!

Finally found a little fire fighter for you Pete...

didn't work, sorry

jackie - i'm jealous you're back out in april. i have until august until next vacation. arghhh

Pat, April 2010. So I am transfering the envy back to you We usually cruise every other year. We like to take a trip on the Harleys, this summer, we are going to ride down to N. Carolina, to ride the Dragons Tail. Then back up the coast. This will be my first trip going a whole week. That helps keep me busy planning for awhile until the next cruise....

oh you lucky dog. when i used to ride that would have been a great trip

This is our favorite place to go.Some friends of ours live here in PA. This is the farthest I have gone so far.We'll stop here on our way down.

please don't let my husband see that because that would be his dream house in the mountains.

Yeah, mine too....

Thanks Pat #2.

I like the looks of that pic. You could do cannonballs off the deck!

Hi everybody!
It's so nice to come here every evening and find people to talk to. My board is still really quiet.

Pat - the cruise we are interested in is the Cunard European Cruise in 2010. That will be our next cruise. I just cancelled the one we had booked for Oct of this year - (Mexican Riviera on the Mariner). I'm hoping the economy will pick up by next year. I am 100% commission. So vacation money has been tight lately!

We didn't cruise this year, and we've decided not to cruise this year (it was one we've done 2 times already - we were just going to do it again because we had friends that wanted to go, but her sister is getting married that weekend so we had to cancel) and try and save up our money for something completely different for us!

i booked that one awhile ago but ended up canceling when i couldn't get any of my friends interested.

Hi Everyone! We had an exciting day. My SIL and BIL are out because their 1st born is having his first child (their first grandchild!). My great Niece was born 8:06 this morning - she is cute as a button!

Have a happy weekend everyone!

Congrats Pat...have a great weekend!

Pat - Tony is on vacation with his family - in Hilton Head.
He was going to try to go down to Charleston for the day - maybe find Poogan's Porch & take a photo for us!

HAPPY SPRING Everyone even tho us here in ND wont see grass until I say.......JULY
