FantasyLineAddict

Check out the swimwear at Solartex.com. I ordered on a Friday afternoon and received it on Monday. The StingRay suits run one size smaller than marked, I got the collared boy-leg one and it's really cute.

You'll be fine, just be careful. Clothing has to be UPF rated - regular clothes will still allow UV rays that don't burn to get through - they won't burn a person who's not on corticosteroids, but they can easily cause a UV reaction in someone who is. Also carry benadryl with you, and find out if it interacts with any of your medications - but never combine benadryl with traditional seasickness medications if you take them because they are similar antihistamines.

I have four connective tissue autoimmune diseases. You could say I have SLE + more.

I follow a diet for pre-diabetics (even though I am not pre-diabetic), which basically is to never consume a carbohydrate without a protein, and to maintain a 2 hour window between each (smaller) meal/beverage. This will avoid the inflammation and swelling.

I've never taken cymbalta, but I know that alcohol should be avoided while taking it. I wouldn't take vicodin with alcohol.

If you are taking corticosteroids (prednisone, etc.), DO NOT spend any length of time in the sun, even with carefully applied sunscreen. Wear a hat and invest in some UPF clothing. I have a swimsuit from Australia with sleeves, and a very lightweight long sleeve 30+ UPF shirt that can be worn over everything outside, it is white, has vents on the side and won't make you hot. I bought mine at an online store called RailRiders, but they are available at some sporting goods stores.

I am writing this warning about sun protection because I was recently diagnosed with melanoma. The risk is greatly increased for people who take immune-supressing drugs, and no one warned me.

Looking for a "Carnival Sensation"

Can trade "Carnival Inspiration" "Carnival Fantasy" or "Carnival Fascination" (all are sealed on the card)

Thanks so much, I emailed you :)

I have an extra Fascination to trade for you Fantasy if you still are interested.

If you didn't hear back from the other person, I would love to trade a Fantasy for a Fascination. Its sealed with the card.

we went on our first and second Carnival cruises last week (B2B on Elation). On the second one we asked about the pins and were told that they are only being given on trips of 5 days or more:(

I was on the first 4 days of your B2B on Elation and was wishing I knew who you were. I went to the purser desk and asked for pins and the guy said sure and went to get me 2. The lady next to him said she'd been telling others they don't have them. I remember reading that you were wanting pins.

I am still looking for a Fascination pin, I have these things to trade from the Sunday Fun Day event:

All for Fun/Fun for All wrist band

Cell Phones Off/Cruise Face on Carnival luggage tag

Don't Forget to Pack your Groove Thang magnet

Carnival Appetizer and Drink recipes cards (2 cards)
