Radiance 9-14-07 Polar Bear Express "Special"!

Back up a second Kathy...Aol is free??........I'm paying $9.95 per month.....how'd u get free????.........I have dsl at home but have to keep the aol to have dialup at the store.....

White chili sounds good........

Mar............when's the rain supposed to end??.......I was hoping for some cali sun this weekend!!

jul

I have free AOL and use Cox Cable internet......you pay at home for DSL??? Or are you paying for the dialup??

I looked and I think it is because I have cable connection(as opposed to using AOL to connect)....

The FREE AOL plan that you are currently on does not include connectivity to the Internet. If you need a way to connect to the Internet, you can get unlimited AOL, including unlimited connectivity, for the incredible price of $9.99/month!

Morning SPB's

Have the pot roast cooking and it smells deelish...
Mar: The recipe sounds wonderful and I have added it to my SPB's collection ...

Diane: don't work too hard today...
Have errands to run so I will check in Later, Jill ...

Almost Afternoon everyone..............it's a beautiful sunny day here and we are supposed to reach the high 40's today. WOOHOO.............almost shorts weather!!

Breathed a big sigh of relief today as the nice FedEx man rang our doorbell at 9:20 this morning with an envelope that had our passports and our Visas for Brazil. Now we can sleep a little better knowing that our pps are back where they belong!

Have a great day.

Hey SPBs! I hope you are all doing well. I haven't visited for a while so there is too much chatter to catch up on, but after a fairly lean period our friend now seems to be back into her old ways again and talking complete $%*& again. She already seems to be muscling in on her Latitudes program with NCL doesn't she? It must be pretty upsetting to be lowly scum again after being Elite and Diamond. Not being able to march proudly around with her Diamond pin? Wonder if she's managed to sell it on eBay yet? What a complete bozo she is.

Looks like there MAY be an NCL crew member on her April trip, currently working on one of those NCLA ships. Think I feel an email coming on! Actually, not too happy with NCLA since they are pressuring amendments to the PVSA that would affect two of my upcoming cruises.

Anyway, I hope that life is treating you all ok and the weather hasn't been too bad for you. To those on trips at the moment, enjoy and to those upcoming, well, enjoy too!

Hiya Phil.....it's always so nice to hear from you.

We all had to start at the bottom..............but remember, she is one that does not do stand in line for anything. She must be at the front. Hope that NCL catches on to her tactics and real soon.

Patti, looks like you and LJ are ready to Salsa your way to Brazil! Glad to hear the paper work is in order.

Phil: Good to see you posting again in this next of the woods. Yes you are right about "CCC". But, I don't think she's making to many friends on that board. She just keeps moaning about the same old things. Even a newbee can pick up on that.

Yep Patti, she'll be waving her arms around for attention. They'll catch on to her antics very quickly, I'm sure. I'll give her two, maybe three cruises with NCL and then the serial complaining will start again. I really hope she finds a cruise line she likes, but it's just all the collateral damage she causes

I posed for my latest avatar on the Jewel. There was no alcohol involved.

Congrats Patti. One huge hurdle jumped. We are about a week behind you I think so fingers crossed. I hope I didn't overthink those answers.

Are you absolutely sure about that alcohol Diane. You look like you were ridden hard and put away wet. That's an equine term in case you all were wondering.

Diane.............I can just read your mind! Or better yet......if looks to kill!

I'll believe you. Thousands wouldn't At least you are kitted out correctly if it all went horribly wrong after those Martinis

Phil

I'm gonna be totally honest here, I posed for that picture I said John take one of me here like this it's gonna be my new avatar. No kidding. Well as far as the road hard yada yada look it was windy we had been on the pool deck just before for our pre-cruise get together. We only had time to go back to the cabin and grab the vests and head to the muster station. Sorry our luggage hadn't arrived at that point and so my black strapless wasn't available. John however had his top hat on .

I think we have one of Jill floating in an inner tube down the river in Belize, maybe that'll be next up . Love ya Jill.

Sheesh! I am still having problems with my $9.95 version of AOL wiping out My History!
Then today, I had to change my password on Cruise Critic because it would not let me in on the old one! Had to use Sheila's thread address to get into you guys again! What a hassle!

Jul, Still rainging this AM but am seeing patches of blue...it is supposed to move out of here!!!! We here in Calif. have now received almost twice the rainfall as Seattle!!!!! Windy today....maybe it will blow out!!!


Diane, to me your photo looks like: " Do I have to go through this boat drill AGAIN!!!!" or "Are you sure this isn't the Titanic?!" What an expression!

Just got word from Xplora that our Feb 10th has a M&M. Our Mar 9 already has one, but the Feb. thread was so slow, I thought we would not be having one!

Hugs, Mar~

I'll have to have John send it to me. Jill and I really did have a good time! I discovered that I can drink at least 2 margaritas without getting a migraine !

Working from home tomorrow, taking the "girls" in for their yearly check-up and figured that I'd just run a few errands and then spend the rest of the day at home. Need to deposit my casino winnings at the bank, drop the cleaning off, pick up a few groceries, pick up my lottery tickets, stop by Hallmark, and make an appt with the hair dresser . No, Sheila I wasn't brave enough to have it done on the ship.

My friend Cindi is stopping by to pick up a baby afghan in the pm.

Well, need to go check on supper .

It really is good to be home, I missed my kids: need to make an appt for them tomorrow too! Such a busy day.

Diane......like the avatar!

Kathy.....yea, I have the 9.95 package of aol.......our dsl at home costs us 39.99 through our phone co (centurytel)...since we live in the bagoonies (no big city around) we don't have very many options of who to get the dsl from......directv doesn't have anyone and I can't go to cable as they say my house doesn't exist (SERIOUSLY---have argued over and over with them and their box is IN OUR yard...but they insist we don't exist).....guess I'm sleeping in make believe land!!!

Phil......good to hear from ya........

Maybe CCC should BUY a condo on the Residensea then the treatment would be tops....

DD has to have a surgery on Val Day (thyroid out)......Unbelievable last 12 months.....none of us 4 have EVER had a surgery until the last year, and then dd-2, me -2, dh-1....YIKES

off to get something done.........very very unlike me to be 3 days from traveling and I haven't packed........I should be stressing and obsessing by now!
