denisey Posted July 20, 2018 #377 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Why are you calling your son #theboy? It makes him sound like the rotten step child you make sleep under the stairs. Or maybe I’ve just watched too much Harry Potter. Your review is entertainingly written and I like it, but I’m on page 12 and finding myself offended for your son at this point, lol. Reminds me of a lady on my roll call who called her son’s wife “his woman,” which always sounded so offensive. Anyway, carry on.... Sent from my iPhone using Forums The OP explains it at one point....her son says #(everything) so it's their inside joke. He sounds like a great kid, and as you continue, you'll see they have a good relationship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So_Tweetie Posted July 20, 2018 #378 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thanks for the review! I am counting down to my cruise on the Allure and enjoyed reading about your experiences (series of unfortunate events). Read all 19 pages in one sitting. This was my favorite response that made me laugh out loud: You're supposed to back-hand your kid if they have a fever????:eek: That doesn't sound right .... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I'm always surprised at how differently people see the world. Part of the reason most readers find this review entertaining is precisely because of the slightly irreverent prose. #theboy being a prime example.

sharse Posted July 26, 2018 Author #381 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Well, if I knew how to post a picture of the Mother's Day card my son gave me I would. Rather than writing "Mom" on the outside of the envelope it said "Nerd". That's just how we roll. Anyway, I came back to let anyone know who might have been curious, trip insurance did in fact pay my claim! They will reimburse me the $377 I paid Southwest to change my flights from 8:00pm to 9:45am on the day of embarkation. Yippee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we call each other sometimes out of love, I'm not going to post, you can take the hit for all of us LOL We sail in two weeks with my family of 20 (including my dh, dd-24, ds-20) and cannot wait!

Whenever I give my parents cards for occasions I write stupid stuff on the outside, too. "The Oldens" or "Old Mother Hubbard" or "Gramps" or "The Old Folks" or something stupid. They shake their heads and laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgàile Posted July 28, 2018 #385 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Now I have an unwanted guest to take on my cruise in three weeks. A "roll-about." It's a knee scooter to keep me non-weight bearing. CBW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momneedsrest Posted July 29, 2018 #388 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Dear OP, I just read your entire trip saga and LOVED it! Not gonna lie-I did not read all of the extras supplied by your wide and varied audience. My fam and I will be on Oasis in November and I feel you have set the bar quite high for future cruise reviewers. Thank you for your honest and entertaining review.

Sgàile Posted July 29, 2018 #389 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Oh that's a bummer. But yes... CBW. At least you're still going! Enjoy. Yes! Three weeks away. I have a follow up with my ortho the week before hoping that I don't need the roll-about, just my walking boot. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. Keep that knee scooter, even if doc says you don't require it anymore. That ship is big and you will be glad you have it at the end of the day.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie3fan Posted September 6, 2018 #392 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Sorry to post so late to this thread, but I just ran across it and read it from start to finish. I have to settle the TP debate once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted September 7, 2018 #393 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Very interesting (and in agreement with my over position). That's actually a real patent. Full patent here: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/a9/9c/8b/12d8546b8f523b/US459516.pdf Good thing that patents expire or we'd all be owing money to Seth Wheeler every day.
